Hero Member Babylon

Babylon's comments before 2016 are proving that the original owner of the profile is from the United States:

Quote from: Babylon on July 22, 2011, 07:33:21 PM

looking to sell 75 bitcoins for $1000, you cover the western union fees to get the money to me. I'll also happily take cash if you are close enough to me to make that happen. I am in Eastern Ohio.

Quote from: Babylon on June 27, 2011, 07:12:32 PM

I have 19 years experience reading professionally. I can read for you over the phone, via e-mail, via a chat program such as yahoo or MSN, via a voicechat program like skype, or face to face if you are in my area (SE Ohio)

For long distance readings I charge .05 BTC per card for text or per minute for voice. This is subject to change as bitcoin values fluctuate but that's the price for the moment.

In the post history of the account Babylon was a 3-years break. And the following comments are showing that this profile passed into the hands of some Filipino man:

Quote from: Babylon on February 28, 2018, 02:01:18 AM

Better way din yan, pero natuto ako sa pakikinig ng mga english ng songs.. mahilig kasi ako sa english song, tapos may aral pa madalas ang mga naririnig ko. At tama ang panonood ng movies ay makakatulong din, at hindi lang english ang matututunan mo, pati english pronunciation mo mahahasa din dito. Kaya gumagaling ang mga pilipino sa ingles dahil sa mga taktika na iyan. Kaya isa tayo sa mga pinakamagagaling na english call center agents sa mundo. Mabilis kasi tayo matuto.

Ang sakin lang ah. May Punto naman yung unang sinabi niya na pag nag solar panel ay PWEDE magkakaprofit ka kasi hindi lang naman sa pag mimining mo gagamitin yung energy ng solar panel eh, kaso tama rin naman yung sinabi sa return ng capital kasi nasa Pilipinas tayo at kung bitcoin mining ang pinaguusapan natin dito ay di na talaga maganda mag mine ngayon. Matagal bago mo mabawi yung capital mo.

In 2011 kr105 mentioned that s/he lives in Chile and spoke in Spanish.

Until 2017 kr105 didn't write a single message in Turkish, but after a 2.5-years break in the post history, the current holder of the profile began to comment mainly in Turkish. (Archive)

Sr. Member Klausi was writing only in German from the beginning, but after a 5-year break in the post history, Klausi switched to English and never commented in German after that.

Klausi recently has wrote that he only found out about Bitcointalk in 2016, despite the fact that the registration time of his profile dates back to 2011. This message was deleted by moderators, so a copy of it is provided.

Quote from: Klausi on October 10, 2019, 02:29:36 PM

Same here, my friend introduced this forum to me in 2016, he gave me a few amount of bitcoin and he said that I could give it back to him when I started earning bitcoins, I am very grateful to him because if he didn't make an effort on explaining and introducing bitcoin to me, I would still be a person who always ask money to my parents every week and can't even buy the things I wanted.

Sr. Member iamzill

Between 2011 and 2017 user iamzill didn't write a single post in Indonesian, but after a changed password and a 6-year break in the post history, he began to use this language often.

In 2011 iamzill said that he is US citizen.

Quote from: iamzill on August 01, 2011, 12:53:12 AM

I strongly disagree with the US' current citizenship-based tax policies and income tax in general. I try to change these laws by speaking out against them, writing to my congressmen, and voting against statist politicians. However, until those laws are repelled, I am obligated to pay my share of the taxes as a citizen of United States, regardless of how much I may disagree with the tax regimen. <...>

(Archive)

But then, in 2017, account holder began to talk about the United States as a foreign country.

Quote from: iamzill on December 27, 2017, 02:02:14 PM

perhaps in the United States bitcoin has become a legitimate currency to conduct payment transactions and directly with high bitcoin value to be the government's reference to taxes, but for now in my country there is no tax system for bitcoin

Legendary hashman is speaking fluent Turkish now.

(Archive)

Until 2018, there are no any comments in Turkish and before their appearance there was a break of more than 2 years in the post history. (Archive)

Judging by the previous messages in the profile, it seems that the original owner knew Chinese, but at the same time didn't communicate in Turkish at all.

Based on these facts, I believe that the profile hashman has changed owner.

Sr. Member Ten98

Between 2011 and 2017 Ten98 hadn't a single comment in Indonesian, but after a 3-year break in the post history, the owner of that profile began to write mainly in Indonesian.

By the previous Ten98 posts, it can be concluded that the original holder of the account lived in the United Kingdom (UK):

Quote from: Ten98 on March 28, 2013, 02:46:56 PM

Quote from: Pteppic on March 26, 2013, 12:23:31 PM

a well-backed UK exchange that could meet the regulatory burden would probably be successful. But without one, there are not enough UK users to justify setting one up.

Thankfully, you're wrong on the second part.

There are a huge number of UK Bitcoin users, we just buy and sell using MtGox, Virwox, BTC-E and various others. We'd prefer not to have to pay the extortionate transfer fees, and when Intersango still had free deposits via bank transfer, the majority of their deposits came from UK accounts for that reason.

The market is wide open for a decent UK based exchange, and I wish all the luck in the world to SBC.

Hero Member hxtop

From 2011 until 2018 'hxtop' commented mostly in Chinese and never wrote in Turkish in that period. (Archive)

BPIP.org website shows that the profile 'hxtop' woke up and changed the password on May 2018: https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=hxtop

Legendary glendall

From 2013 to 2016, glendall didn't write a single message in Indonesian, but after a 1-year break the profile holder has began to write in Indonesian and his/her posting style changed noticeably after that.

It must also be said that the original account owner lived in Canada:

Quote from: glendall on June 04, 2013, 04:21:16 PM

hi ChaseD , I'm a fellow Canadian. I was wondering if I could pick up untis & deliver chips to you in person, in order to save mailing costs and delays. Is this acceptable?

Hero Member pieppiep

Two reasons why I think that account 'pieppiep' changed owner:

1. In 2012 pieppiep claimed that he is from Netherlands and he was writing comments in Dutch. But after 3-years break (in the posting history) pieppiep has began writing in Bahasa Indonesian.

Quote from: pieppiep on October 10, 2012, 12:07:08 PM

Ah, so no problem for me, I'm from the Netherlands and use euro's.

Cheesy

(Archive)

2. Despite that the pieppiep's registration date on Bitcointalk is 2012, "he" writes that he learned about bitcoin in 2015.

Quote from: pieppiep on January 09, 2018, 04:49:34 PM

I came to know about bitcoin in the beginning of year 2015 and at that time price of bitcoin was around $250 and it was my friend who told me about bitcoins or else I would have never come to know about this great currency and he also helped me in showing how to earn bitcoins for free from faucets sites and by joinig signature campaign as at that time even payouts from faucets sites was really good but now faucets have become waste of time but in past there were many faucets sites that were paying even 1 btc or more in a day.

Hero Member humanitee

Between 2012 and 2017, among 2000 of the humanitee's comments, there is not a single message in Indonesian, but after a two-year break, humanitee began to write mainly in Indonesian. (Archive)

I believe that the original profile holder was a US resident on a number of grounds:

Quote from: humanitee on April 08, 2013, 05:39:36 PM

Why? I can buy a house, car, any electronics device, anything on any website that Bitspend accepts, so pretty much anything besides groceries that can spoil.
At the moment I am gaining on my savings, whereas in any bank account in the US I would lose. Dollar averaging will make my savings fine all the way down to $20.

Member Werner

Sr. Member Impaler

The reasons why I believe that account 'Impaler' has changed owner and need a red tag:

1. There is a 3-years break in the post history, between August 2015 and August 2018. (Archive)

2. Profile 'woke up' in August 2018 and changed password after that: https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=Impaler

Code:

8/6/2018 4:13:13 PM woke up
8/7/2018 4:11:06 AM password changed

3. The quality of comments after the break has visibly worsened. For example, comparison of the new messages with the previous posts from 2013 year:

Holding is just not supporting one or some specific coins. It's about support the whole ecosystem. And at this moment there is many holder around this ecosystem. I think we believe in the market as long as some project. And we hope that this market will recover one day. Just keep calm don't panic and hold that it .

Quote from: Impaler on June 04, 2013, 11:59:04 PM

Anyone claiming that their ideology is value free is either ignorant or ashamed of the values it actually carries. Nothing made by man is free of value judgments, especially economics. You would have to be the most blindly obtuse person ever born to think that Marx-vs-Adam Smith or hard-vs-soft money or the Keynes-vs-Hayek debates are value-free, it is saturated with value judgments. These are indeed some of the most pivotal value debates that have existed in the last century.

Quote from: Impaler on May 23, 2013, 11:06:25 PM

As of right now we would need around 250 GH/s to reach target blocks and networks running at around 50-60 at the moment. So we will see blocks just under an hour apart and every 8-9 hours we will get a difficulty drop that will push profitability higher and attract more miners. As we saw a rebound in FRC valuation back to the .0004 it had been at just before the hash-crash the profitability is right back at near 100% relative to BTC. Price stability has been quite impressive over this difficult period with a drop of only about 25% which has now been fully recouped.

4. The original holder of the 'Impaler' profile lived in US apparently:

Quote from: Impaler on November 15, 2013, 05:30:35 AM

Great news!

The Chinese famous platform btc38.com want to add Boolberry to their crypto-currency library. Which means BBR is more close to btc38 now.

Any suggestions for the chinese name of BBR?
For xmr, they called "门罗币".
Since bool in chinese means "布尔" and berry in chinese means "莓".

Is "布尔莓" ok for Boolberry or any other good suggestions like "数莓" etc.
