Eh?



Why is the date mentioned as of April, 2019?

Bruno I think you should see this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5239632.0
That isn't real... i can assure you I'm live in the flesh
This really surprised me, I thought you died because a tumor, Or are you just another person using this account, just guess   Cheesy


Ha, no. you can email me if you like or telegram contact
bitcoin100@yahoo.com or any of my other contacts Smiley

Then where are the funds that were donated to you to fulfil your last wish? Where were they moved (if ever they got moved at first)?

Something off-topic: You looked like Ranbir Kapoor in your younger days. Check the link by clicking on his name. Smiley

hahaha, i wish i still looked like that,

the fund's that were donated were used on essentials and the recovery of my health.

I'm quite pissed off that somebody is claiming I died.

Probably a BFL Hater

With literally thousands of nonprofit agencies seeking funding worldwide, and many conducting numerous successful and yes, unsuccessful, fundraising drives, there's no reason, at all, for not having several--eventually hundreds--of them incorporating a Bitcoin donation option, complementing their current income stream.

In the offering up of this beneficial solution to augment selected nonprofit organizations, I propose the following: Bitcoin100:

Bitcoin100 is nothing more than at least 100 supporters pledging then, hopefully, honoring at least 1 BTC prior to each time a charitable organization expresses interest in embedding a Bitcoin donation button, or acceptable equivalent, onto their website.

At first, there'll be no need to necessarily donate Bitcoin. What's desired, at the onset, is more than 100 individuals stating that they'll pledge (without having to gift at this stage) at least 1 BTC to Bitcoin100 then, eventually, honoring that pledge toward only causes they're most comfortable with, for this endeavor to fully function accordingly--as I currently envision it. The reason for requiring a minimum of 100 supporters is to guarantee, optimistically, that at least 100 BTC rests in the initial wallet when charitable organizations are ultimately approached.

So, to get started, simply state that you would like to pledge to Bitcoin100 and your name will be added to the supporter's list above. As we approach the 100 BTC mark in the wallet, we'll collectively vote on which organization we want to target first. Once over the 100 supporters threshold, the requests will go out to those on the list, to begin honoring their at least 1 BTC pledge. When the at least 100 BTC goal is reached, Bitcoin100 approaches the voted upon charitable organization with Bitcoin in hand. If they decline our gesture of goodwill, the next charitable organization is approached with the exact same offer, and so down the line, until one eventually accepts the simple terms, thereupon transferring the already funded wallet to their nonprofit corporation's Bitcoin account. After the first prospect comes aboard, success will become easier during the pursuing of others.

Ideally, it would be nice if each person who pledges to Bitcoin100, does so with the knowledge that they may be donating to at least 100 charitable organizations during the upcoming year. But it's not a deal breaker if one pledges only 1 BTC now then, at a later date, only exercises the honoring of said commitment. I firmly believe that after the act of simply building the supporter's list for Bitcoin100, the rest will take care of itself.

Gaia willing, when Bitcoin re-bubbles, you can always adjust the at least 1 BTC donation option, thereby better suiting your financial position and resources.

Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor
by
Phinnaeus Gage
on 01/04/2020, 23:00:38 UTC

I decided to take some time out of my day to write a thread about the main account of the most prolific member on the forum. That account is Phinnaeus Gage, and that man is Bruno Kucinskas. Initially I was going to do a compilation of all the scams Bruno has exposed over the years, but that in itself wouldn't do his contributions to the forum justice, so I decided to dedicate 3 separate threads to his 3 most famous monikers (this being the first).

First, a couple of mind-blowing statistics. Across Bruno's 3 main accounts, Phinnaeus Gage, Gleb Gamow, and YuTü.Co.in, he has amassed a total of 44,776 posts and started 1,628 topics.  Shocked  He possesses 2 accounts currently in the top 10 members by number of posts, making him far and away the most prolific poster on the forum.

To say Bruno is a man of ideas would be an understatement. He spent years formulating ways in which Bitcoin could be improved, better marketed, and more highly utilized. He dabbled in everything from improving security to increasing adoption to hosting various giveaways and challenges in order to help spread the word. As such, Bruno is a true ambassador of Bitcoin.

In addition to the sheer number of hours Bruno put into helping Bitcoin along its path to global recognition, he provided a lot of much-needed entertainment in a space that was otherwise relatively dry in terms of humor. Over the years he penned countless poems, odes, jokes, theses, news articles, mission statements, wanted ads, contests, riddles and even screenplay pitches. He also loves goats.


The Greatest Hits of Phinnaeus Gage


First Bitcoin Charity

Bitcoin 100: Developed Specifically for Non-Profits (11/11) - the first bitcoin charity project, and perhaps the biggest held on the forum to date, raised 681 BTC and distributed donations to 83 Non-Profit Organizations.

Below is a screenshot of Bitcoin 100's now depleted coffer, bringing an end to the era  Cry of the first, and perhaps most successful cryptocurrency charity/NPO to date, endowing a total of 84 mostly venerable charities priorly not accepting bitcoins et al. as a donation option till such an option was introduced to them. The exact number of NPOs which Bitcoin 100 endowed was 83, adding Jason King's Unsung at the very end, along with endowing The Water Project a second time thanks to their continuing noble efforts of supplying clean water to those in need in hard-pressed Third World countries: https://thewaterproject.org/how-we-work

Bruno administered several other charities during his time as Phinnaeus Gage, never taking a penny from them for himself, always insisting that excess funds - or funds promised to him by others - be given to someone else.


Scam Research

Bruno is one of the first and foremost scambusters on the forum, and its safe to say nobody has come close to matching his tenaciousness and output over the years. He had a lot of run-ins with folks at Butterfly Labs, who eventually doxed him and forced him to give up his anonymity. Here is his first comment that I can find on his career as a scambuster, from a thread entitled "Attention All Scammers!!!"

The time has come to try to put a stop to all those who think they can come here, pull the wool over our eyes, and leave with bitcoins in hand. From this day forward, I will do everything in my power to expose you bastards.
...

As a scambuster, Bruno was no fan of the trust system, preferring instead to confront the scammers head on and ground them into submission, until they could no longer take the beating and just leave the forum.

Here is a list of some of the scams he helped research and uncover under the P.G. moniker:

Bitcoinica - one of the first web-based bitcoin exchanges, and the first to perform an "exit scam" on its users while blaming their problems on a hacker.

Bitcoinica's "Hot Wallet" loaded hours prior to the heist? (6/12)
Connecting the dots or coloring outside the lines? (7/12)
Dr. Kevin Lim PhD = Zhou Tong ~ Not a conspiracy theory! (8/12)
Bitcoingate (8/12)

Trendon Shavers / pirateat40 - user pirateat40 ran a giant Ponzi scheme that collected several thousand BTC to be put into a secretive "Bitcoin Savings & Trust" program which promised huge returns to its investors. Shavers was the first bitcoiner to ever serve time for running a Ponzi.

Trendon Shavers/Pirate ~ New Info (9/12)

Butterfly Labs - an early miner production company that was notorious for delaying shipments of miners to long-waiting customers. Josh Zerlan, BFL CEO, is the originator of the now-famous expression, "in two weeks", as a reference to how long customers should expect to wait before receiving their miners (which frequently came much later, if ever).

BFL's days are numbered. You've all been warned. All those who come a cryin' later will be laughed at. A real investigation is in the works, for I've personally have had two agencies contact me. What's puzzling is I ain't got a clue as to how they got my contact information. Odd! But, I guess they have their ways.

BFL ignores their own customers/investors on their official forum. (7/13)
Hosting BFL miners at J Morgan & Associates? (7/13)
In their defense, BF Labs Inc. has excellent Customer Service. (8/13)

Black Arrow - another mining hardware company that pulled a BFL-style scam, delaying shipments of most miners infinitely.

The official "Black Arrow is most likely a scam" thread (2/14)
Black Arrow [blackarrowsoftware.com]: All Things Considered - Divulged (2/14)
Black Arrow is definitely a scam! (2/14)

AMT - yet another mining hardware company based out of America that made big promises, accepted money up front, and failed to deliver hundreds of miners.

Joshua Zipkin steals millions with his AMT/Advanced Mining Technologies scam. (5/14)

MtGOX & Brock Pierce - we all know about MtGOX, but what is interesting is the Hollywood child star Brock Pierce's connection to it, of which Bruno is not exactly a fan -- especially after Pierce became a member of The Bitcoin Foundation.

Random

The First Bitcoin... (8/11) - a long list of several Bitcoin's "firsts"... probably the first list of Bitcoin firsts, which would render it perhaps the most accurate...

Topic: Bruno vs Roger Ver (1st Bitcoin Match) (10/12) - in this thread, Bruno challenges Roger Ver to an MMA fight, with the proceeds going to charity.

The Mega Thread that Feeds People in Need (9/13) - in this thread, Bruno collects donations for Sean's Outpost, which was a bitcoin-based charity that provides meals to the poor -- he collected enough BTC to buy 2,703 meals.

An Interview with Bruno Kucinskas: The Anti-Scammer - a candid, off-forum interview with B.K. about his career as a scam buster and his days as P.G.

(there's plenty more threads that should be added to this section, but I fear I may have already warn out my welcome considering the current length of this post)

Here's one final P.G. post that encapsulates his humor and unique way of viewing the world that I leave everyone here with.

Yesterday morning I stopped at a cafe, oppose to the dinky service station available at that exit, for a cup of coffee for the road and to take a shit (apologies to the non-coffee drinkers  Roll Eyes). I asked the pretty petite girl donning the usual metal, once only saved for earlobes, if they took Bitcoin. She replied no, but said she heard about it when I asked her. Then I told her who I was. Come to find out, she has visited BitcoinTalk, and her sister is a big Bitcoin fan, of which is probably a member here. She asked for my autograph, of which is going to be given to her sister as a Christmas present, having to now no longer worrying about what to give her.

Soon, I'll be able to charge $400K USD for speaking fees, along with charging 1 BTC for lap dances at bridal showers. I've noticed more and more people staring at me in public now ever since Bitcoin started to enter the mainstream. I don't know what my future agent will be charging for commercials, but the first one I'll do free minus expenses since I'm a nice guy.

I look forward to the girl that received my autograph as a Christmas present to post here and state how happy she was/is.

If after reading all this you feel at all compelled, now would be a great time to show your appreciation for Bruno. You can find out how to do so by visiting his latest thread.

From the bottom of my heart, thanks Bruno for everything you have provided the forum over the years.

But the saga isn't over yet -- stay tuned for part 2 of our 3-part series, featuring Gleb Gamow, when we return from this extended commercial break.

It feels like the whole time I've lurked in this forum, you've been around. I always loved that Phineas Gage reference. I'm sending a little something as well.


Is it some crazy coincidence that you picked this name for the forum almost 10 years ago? Do you feel like your personality has changed because of the tumor?

yes

Thank you for contributing, bud.

Brother, I am speechless to see all these and learning all these about your condition. I just sent a very small donation in BTC and I hope more people come forward to show love for a Bitcoiner. I will see you on the other side brother. It was an honer.

Thank you for contributing to my exit scam.

For those not versed, here's the reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage.




Definitive proof of hospitalization depicted in the images below:






Spoiler alert: End of this thread is a solicitation for donations.

I have Glioblastoma, given ~2 months to live. I am currently at Nathan Adelson Hospice in Las Vegas, in quarantine for two weeks.

Been in the hospital three times with no options for chemo etc.

For those are not versed is who I am ...

April fools!

I was surprised (and laughing) at how many people took this seriously. I thought that this was way more obvious than last year, but I guess not.

 - Politeness was how many times you used "please", "sir", "pardon", "apprecia*", "may I", "thanks", and "thank you" in past posts. This is poking a bit of fun at the people who are unnecessarily polite like this.
 - Imagination was how many times you posted an image tag in past posts.
 - Coins was how many distinct "coins" you mentioned in past posts. A coin was reckoned as any three-letter acronym (so Satoshi got several from things like "FYI" and "CIA"), as well as any word ending in "coin" (like "Bitcoin"). It was distinct coins, so if you posted the word "bitcoin" 100 times, that'd still only count as 1.
 - fMerit was calculated according to the posted algorithm. That algorithm is, as nullius pointed out, the min of three runs with different seeds of a linear congruential pseudorandom number generator using the glibc constants.
 - Virtue was the edit distance between your name and "Lauda". Wink
 - Karma was as described.
 
Part of the joke with Conway's Game of Life is that since the game is turing-complete, figuring out whether a given configuration terminates equals the halting problem, which is undecidable in the general case. (Though it's maybe not actually undecidable with only an 8x10 input board.) The other part of the joke is that it's just so ridiculous to decide rank in this way, but I guess a lot of people didn't pick up on that...

I had kind of wanted to actually have a running game-of-life board in JavaScript on everyone's profile, but I didn't have time.

(BTW, when are we getting Conway-GoL-Coin? It's Turing-complete! Wink)

Here in Canada we've stopped publishing "recovered" numbers, since that recovery test could be used to diagnose. 

Bruno, if you need a positive spin on your situation - you have a comfortable place to die.  Soon thousands of your countrymen will be suffering slow terrifying deaths alone.  Sad

Stay free everyone - virus free.

Shit man, I'm not sure what to say... first I'm learning of this. I couldn't believe it until I saw your post/picture from January.. Sad  very sad to hear. You were a big inspiration to me back in the BFL days, and continued to be one throughout the years. I had a bit of an issue with the account selling stuff but I got over it, on a personal level. Keep your spirits up Bruno. I wish you the best.

Now, let me rehoist you back up on our shoulders and parade you around the forum in a pink tutu. Smiley

Oh God  Cry this is the saddest thing I've read today. Perhaps it is helpless when death exists before our eyes that we cannot do anything else. I really do not know anything to help you, praying is not a good thing, it will not help you. Instead, I think it would be better to continue living happily, for example traveling. But in this situation, you can't even travel. Damn virus  Roll Eyes
This is the first time I've seen someone with this disease, hopefully you can overcome it to continue living happily  Cry

Can we please have a sensible discussion of this issue and any solutions to identifying UID's that fall silent during this period and are potentially hacked/brought back to life later?

For the purposes of the forum, I don't see how this would differ from business-as-usual handling of the issue. You're making too many assumptions. If there's mass extinction, I guarantee you we'll have more important things to worry about than whether bitcointalk accounts are hacked or not.

Sorry to hear that bud.  Hopefully you pass peacefully, and in peace.

I forgive you for anything you ever did to me (although I can' think of anything).
