I do not see a good reason why Bitcointalk should be decentralized. Wait a minute, is there anything like that when it comes to forums? Do you mean that there will not be a host or third party for the security of the forum? Even the admin will have to surrender their power and accesses?

Well, you are a joker, and in a situation like this, you see a lot of advice to the extent that those who don't fit to advise you will start advising you. Satoshi was not foolish to have made Bitcoin decentralized but the forum centralised with .org, so let it be.

This is a community, we share vital and clear information, not a secret society. What are we even running from? The forum is not lawless and I believe that the admin will continue to abide by the rule of law where applicable. So I don't see how we can be decentralised and why we should even be decentralised as it is of no use.

Shame on you for calling the OP for having a perfectly valid argument....If BitcoinTalk could be decentralized, it should be. It'd be good for theymos to take forum responsibility off his back, and it'd be in line with what Bitcoin is all about, no central control. In fact, this forum being centralized is contradictory, and ironic.

The forum is nearly at a state where it works perfectly. Merits, Default Trust, all of these functions are serving their purposes and are improving. While not perfect, governance by the community in a decentralized way is more than possible at this point and these functions can work if they were coded into a decentralized infrastructure. It might not be able to be decentralized today, but I would say that if this became a goal, it would potentially be a viable one that could be built rather quickly given all the groundwork that is making this forum work today.

Who is saying to make this forum more exclusive, or like a secret society? If anything, it being decentralized will make it more accessible, and more censorship resistant.

If the forum was decentralized, it'd be up to users to be lawful and rules could still be enforced via decentralized governance and built-in moderation powers. Moderators would be voted on by the community, and power levels would be too. Just because it would be decentralized, it doesn't mean there would be no governance.

I have promised to maintain my cool on the forum henceforth, so I will let this annoying attitude of yours pass. Alts are not difficult to know.

For your information, I don't have any reason to read your lamentation anymore since your first statement has condemned you and shown who you are. I know your silly type, it is never worth my time.

Calling out shame in a strong term because someone expresses his opinion shows how trolling and immature you are. But I am not the type that you express your ignoble attitude towards you this immature brat. Nonetheless, I return your shame back to you and your generation in multiple folds.

Welcome to my ignore list...The very first since I joined this forum!

I've never ever seen someone on this forum pick out the first 10 words of a post and respond to nothing else.

I am completely fine with being on your ignore list simply because you are uneducated - you clearly have no idea what decentralizing the forum means on a technical level, and yet you are so confident in judging others, like calling the OP a joker and then making such a large post just because I said, "shame on you" for calling the OP a joker.

Good luck to you and your forum journey. Keep up that attitude and you're bound to make a lot of friends Roll Eyes
