False. I've generally stopped following forum drama and was not aware of the "affair" until now.
They claim you did it because of that, therefore it started because of that. Good clarification. You should be on point about these matters, but assuming you don't employ neg. rated or controversial members who shitpost only when paid (Kalemdar and Vispilio being prime examples) then you will be fine without knowing anything.
Hope now our Turkish friends can stop blaming people about "opening of topics against them during
lucrative signature bounties."
@Kalemder and others. I have posted this only for awareness on the issue especially regarding the off-rail accusations of a few people about DT-1/ ChipMixer/ Blockstream etc. Its misguiding to new people and bad for bitcoin in general. You selectively posted in your reply that I trust Lauda because I participated in a signature campaign. This is typical of the selective morality employed by your other friend who has been deleting my replies in local section. Let me quote my full reply where I have explained why I have Lauda in my Trust list.
My reason for trust is that they have been consistent in coming down heavily on forum abuse related to account manipulation, alt-accounts etc. This was due to the significant damage that was going on during the time of bounty abuse in the 2017 ICO craze. Over the years they have grown a very low tolerance to these penny scams where people invite a bunch of other people to post on this forum and they all together see it as an earning opportunity, enrolling in multiple bounties and pyramid posting.
That used to happen a lot and people like Lauda, Pharamacist, Hilariousetc spent much time and effort in tagging such accounts. This was before scam-and spam busting became a favorite activity for people here. These earlier incidents created a strong bias amongst what you refer as the "DT clique" for any activity that reeks of such "common socialized efforts". They actively tagged such farming accounts and this brought these people a lot of bad publicity and reputation threads. Most of them stopped doing it very publicly. Lauda is the only one that still sticks to the same principles and i respect that despite their terse and sarcastic language at times. I also participated in a signature campaign for a few weeks ran by Lauda when i was just a full member and never had any problems in receiving timely updates as well as the BTC. So I have my reasons from trusting them. They have been through a lot of drama but the thousands of accounts tagged by them during the bounty-hunting, shitposting days should not come back.
From that whole explanation, your friend wolwoo pointed out that small part in your local trying to portray me as another alt or inspired by money. Just because some people cannot think beyond monetary gain doesn't mean others cannot. To Turkish members , I only request that at least call out those who try to portray everything as a conspiracy. Not only are these guys attacking DT-1 and the forum but now even bitcoin.
Having someone on my trust list simply means that I trust their "judgement". When a person by virtue of their constant effort on the forum ends up being trusted by multiple people, they may come on Default Trust. Now, it is natural that people on DT-1 can surely have some differences of opinion amongst themselves. Yet, I strongly believe that they should be uncompromising on a few basic tenets.
1. They should be more than account-farming, bounty hunting shitposters whose only concern in the forum is "lucrative signature bounties".
2. They should agree on the bitcoin phenomena and not feed conspiracy theories propagated by marketers like Roger Ver and fake actors like Craig Wright.
3. They should beware of actors that want to scam/ hack people out of their bitcoin holdings.
Those would be the basic qualities I'll expect from a DT-1. Ask yourself what you want.
