I looked at the first four pages of it and was looking for a flat-out denial from PrimeNumber7 that he isn't an alt of Quickseller and didn't see anything of the sort. Quickseller even posted in it and also didn't deny it. That says a lot, and that's in addition to the evidence you presented in the OP of that thread. So fuck me, I got snookered.
Is that how you judge if something someone says about someone is true? They didn't deny it, therefore it must be true. That is an interesting way of judging people. Normally, it is up to the accuser to prove their point, not the accused to prove their innocence.
Anyway, I am happy to see PN7 reach the rank of legendary. I would drop some merit on the OP, but I don't want to have drama involving allegedly giving merit to myself, so I will find other people with good posts to give my merit away to.
You know, you could just quietly have an alt that you were trying to start clean with but you insist on flaunting your "accomplishments" in a rather dishonest manner. Right from post #1 you were sucking up to theymos, which is a signature move for you:
theymos accepting Grin is symbolic more than anything.
Grin doesn't appear to be accepted for ad auction payments, which leaves payments for Copper memberships and proxy bans (I am unsure if the later accepts payment via Grin).
There are less than 680 copper members wearing their copper membership title. The payments for these memberships could fit into one Bitcoin block, and the copper membership has been available for years.
How can anybody believe the person who posted this is a newbie, this being their first post?
Not only that, but this:
(I am unsure if the later accepts payment via Grin).
That's weird, PN7 seems to have misspelled "the latter." Who else in the forum regularly makes that mistake:
...There have also been other situations in which someone received a questionable tag from Vod, handled the situation poorly, and subsequently received additional tags after trolling and/or deciding to rage quit. The later is especially bad for the community because it effectively removes people from the community really for no reason.
...IMO the later should be viewed much more harshly, and should not be tolerated.
Well surely a lot of people make that mistake and QS probably never did that before PN7, anyway, right?
...
The incentive to attack an implementation that is used by 10%-20% of the Bitcoin network is much smaller than the incentive to attack an implementation that affects 90% of the network. The further would be a minor hiccup, while the later has the potential to actually steal large amounts of money, and cause serious disruptions.
OK so he did. So they both misspell the same word.
Big deal.
