I would report this as off-topic but its obvious Carsen Klock would just repost it somewhere else later, so let's dispel it now.
is that why some of the shitposter and trolls get paid directly by Bitcointalk?

From your article:
How do we know that those paid trolls are paid by Blockstream - Bitcointalk?
Simple, just looking at some history from some of the paid trolls, there is lot of evidence, like this..
https://archive.is/zLPbAHere nutildah is applying for a signature campaign, and he post this address
bc1qlcq2457w7sh50ucpzrsy5qs0xqkkx8tqcftp5f
It looks like he didn't check that he already used that address, or maybe he didn't care.
If you look at the history of transactions, you can see that nutildah is getting deposits from this address
17RTTUAiiPqUTKtEggJPec8RxLMi2n9EZ9
That address is Bitcointalk donation address
https://bitcointalk.org/donate.htmlWhy is nutildah getting paid by Bitcointalk?
Simple answer, He is a paid troll of Blockstream - Bitcointalk - Theymos and works directly for gmaxwell, thats why he created this post to ruin Microguy reputation
https://archive.vn/GiaIALOL. You got me excited for a second, thinking I may have had some spare BTC somewhere I didn't know about. I didn't get paid by Bitcointalk. Both me and the Bitcointalk sent BTC to the same address. Review the blockchain history.
As for the whole MicroGuy stuff -- that is all resolved from my end. I removed my negative trust from his profile and withdrew the flag on his account. I don't agree with many of his ideas, but I find him to be a very cordial and polite person.
As for you, there's more than enough evidence in the thread linked in your flag to support it.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5196899.msg53032162#msg53032162A nice summary by suchmoon (also on the dirty Bitcointalk black PR payroll I'm sure):
Paycoin Anybody?
Coincidentally another scam Carsen was involved in, and one I'm very familiar with.
For all you youngsters: Paycoin was a $10 million ponzi scheme (like 20k BTC at the time, which is... well, a lot of bitcoins) back in 2014 and Carsen built a scam site for them that promised to redeem worthless paycoins for $20 a pop. Obviously that didn't happen, the main scammer (Homero Garza) is now serving a slap-on-the-wrist federal sentence somewhere in Texas, and accomplices are claiming that they just did what they were told and bear no responsibility. There is also a related class action lawsuit involving a Wall Street banker. I hope Carsen's name will pop up in some court documents, maybe he'll even get his 3 minutes of fame on the witness stand.
Anyway, don't know why you didn't post this in the thread about you. It has nothing to do with ChipMixer.
