Let TS consider what he considers. Its your "opinion" that those in my trust list are greedy scammers. Similarly, in my opinion, the people i am asking TS to reconsider are greedy scammers.

You are so confident and troll these people incessantly because you seem to have been harmed some way by these people. You hate them personally or something. I don't know. You have been doing this from your CryptoHunter, TOAA days (the resemblance is unmistakable, i must say). I saw that the "extortion scam" that every one loves to talk about was the first one where this whole thing erupted between Lauda and others. TS also did not agree on the way it was settled. There is evidence that it wasn't done for scamming. Infact, the person it was intended for (zeroaxl, right?) himself said that no harm was done. Theymos got involved and lead to Lauda being removed from Mod/ Staff position. Lauda and a few others did over-exert their authority on the forum going so far as trying to be real-world sleuths and catch him for some "actual crimes" they thought he committed (including an exchange hack). This was the general over-zealous stretching of authority by Lauda. And, I agree that Vod also seems to do that quite a bit.

Yet, for someone like me who has only came to the forum in 2017 amid that crazy ICO bubble, I have seen that people like Lauda have been a net positive. I mean there was nobody else banning spammers and scammers so seriously till it became a forum hobby for merit-earning for a lot of people. That is why i trust their judgement. That Darkcoin conspiracy doesn't cut it. From the posts i can see that she said in the beginning that there was no instamine in the sense that "People with Linux could still mine". It ended up that only a few people had that capability at the time so ended up mining most of it. CH was particularly hurt on this because he indeed missed out because he was on Windows maybe.

An instamine would be one that automatically grants the founders lot of initial coins before a miner or any sort of hardware is out. it doesn't seem to be an instamine in that sense. 4 years later, Lauda seems to have changed her mind on a lot of Alts and while Alt-bashing she referred to it as an "Instamine scam". By that time, the ICO scams had all blown up pretty badly and the definitions for a lot of things changed. The hopeful brashness towards alts in 2014 had been replaced by a general consensus that they were mostly scams by devs looking to capitalize and exit scam. In 2014, people on the forum knowing and able to mine would not be called an instamine. By 2017-18, when Lauda made that statement, people had been making up ICO projects only on Telegram and ANN threads and just giving themselves the inital lots. That phrase "Instamine scam" covered a lot of things. The opposition to it not being an "instamine" in 2014 is technical, back when crypto was still mostly technical and had not blown up to the general public yet.

I am not talking about only the conspiracy theories they propagate about DT-1. Yet, from DarkStar_ saying that he did not know of the "trust inclusion" issue, it is clear that him not choosing Turkish posters has nothing to do with DT-1 conspiracy to corner all "juicy campaigns" etc. That is just ridiculous.
You seem to be only interested in the forum drama. I am also interested in Bitcoin. What do YOU make of all that bullshit about BCH, BSV, Blockstream conspiracy that those people are peddling in their threads?? Isn't this forum about bitcoin?? Its not about some scammer alt-coin. Members who aim to be respectable representatives of the community ought not be doing this just for promoting whatever scam-alt they think will give them most returns in the hopes of "flippening" or whatever peddled by Ver, Jihan, faketoshi. Forum drama aside, What is your opinion on that?


Mr. Jones, You are one of the few people in this forum who cannot blame anybody for "mish mash of weird ideas" and "slobbering". At least try to appreciate the effort it takes to get through your posts man.
