Could you two perhaps take your shitcoin shit slinging contest somewhere else perhaps? Just a suggestion.

It is actually not about a "shitcoin" and its merits, but about libelous accusations against an individual. As AlexGR eloquently explained, it is not about Dish, but about Evan Duffield the more or less public individual. The question raised is, whether Evan Duffield is a "piece of shit" or not.
The purpose of this thread is to establish a pillory, which can be problematic in itself, but the OP seems to be open and fair and allow discussions, which I applaud, because otherwise it would turn into a mudslinging contest. In german we call that "Rufmord", which Google translates as "character assassination", which is a criminal offense where I come from. TBTP is intelligent and his accusations have a superficial plausability, though no falsifiability, hence they remain claims. It`s malevolent "in dubio contra reo". Those allegations have to be countered out of sheer sense of fairness, which is what AlexGR is doing with remarkable patience and grace.

I think it's clear that Duffield at the least messed up really badly. Why at least as much is not acknowledged by AlexGR et al is puzzling. Did he have deceiving/thieving/criminal intent from the get-go? I'm not sure but he's at least sloppy like Mark Karpeles. This is why I suggested dividing the list into "clearly malevolent intent" and "maybe no malevolent intent":

Wow Gleb, this is amazing work! Thank you for this effort.

Could you perhaps add a section about the major anonymous ones who deserve to be on the list even though we don't know their identity? We (you!) might still somehow unmask them at some point.

Would it also perhaps be most fair to add something like "[maybe no malicious intent]" next to some of them who don't seem to have had the intention of scamming? It might piss people off to see that next to Mark Karpeles, but fairness is fairness. There's a difference between being a "piece of shit" and a "complete idiot".

goverments are scams ... https://www.gwern.net/Black-market%20arrests

Be very careful. I fell into that trap over the past years and almost justified some shady ideas because "the entire system is scam". That is sliding into a criminal mindset and forsaking any ethical backbone. With that attitude, we all steal from each other and end up in a clusterfuck Dark Age. Step back from the ledge before it is too late and recover the ethics you learned as a child perhaps from your grandparents who came from the honorable generation before the boomers (assuming you are my age or older).

Well thought, but I think you are operating under the assumption of moral relativism -- the idea that we can't know right and wrong via logic/rationality... but we can. It's called Natural Law, based on the non-aggression principle, or simply the understanding of "do no harm". Perhaps you have given your permission to be ruled/governed by someone else, but neither you nor anyone else could've had the right to dictate that others should be ruled/governed by someone else (i.e. you cannot delegate a right you do not have).

I think you are going to be suprised how much the world changes towards coordinated government action across the G20 and beyond. There is a massive contagion underway that will really kick into high gear in 2018.

I think you will find that totalitarianism will increase for many years before it finally implodes around 2033. I think this will mean the governments will join together and double-down on boots on throats. I would not want to have your attitude.

But moreover, I would not want your sleazy ethics. We are supposed to be helping humanity here, not making schemes that deceive n00bs. Come on you know the "no victims" diversion is an attempt to be unethical. Instead make a plan to deceive the bastards who are abusing us, which can empower the n00bs. That is what I am doing.

Why 2033? Does the timeframe "2025-2033" suggest anything to you?

The USA is fucked up and it will need to break up into separate regions where those who have shared values can congregate. There are big changes coming to world accelerating as of 2018.

You mean as of 2016! Major changes in the fall this year, I'd say. By 2018 things will be so different it's hardly imaginable. I'd also say that Europe is more fucked (being destroyed faster) than the USA.

Please forgive me for my slow responses today, as I can barely see. I gorged on pizza last night (delicious like coming upon an oasis in the desert after eating oatmeal & broccoli for weeks) and made me nearly blind this morning. I really need to stick with my strict diet. i am squinting and everything is so incredibly blurry.

May I suggest grounding yourself? (Also tuna often has high methylmercury)
