Has obviously drunk too many shots of pudding. Paying somebody $100+ USD to troll online is... Well, that person deserves to get trolled if they do pay you that much per month.

The only way out for you is to show how you construct that mental "barrier to entry" so that it's not what I say it is. Go ahead. All the rest is really a waste of my time, which is valuable.

Your time is NOT comparably valuable, for the record, so before you shit all over your april2013noobface again, read a lot more of my posting history than what you've tried so far. Starting perhaps with April 2012.

I like the new avatar ironcross.

We've been losing good members for months now.  The post about a dismal level of discourse is telling.  If things do not change in these forums we will continue to lose smart contributors like Jason.  For those of you who do not know what Jason did for the community let me tell you.  He, along with Gusti and a small group of other engineers, tried to develop a public mining asic chip.  While they didn't complete their task the effort was nothing short of amazing.

When I arrived on the scene almost exactly two years ago it was a small and fun community of computer geeks.  Like half of you we came to mine bitcoin.  We were mining on deepbit and slush's pool and using the brand new cgminer, it was awesome.  People were helpful and kind and it was a community.  But things have changed.

Part of the problem comes from the traffic.  The admins claim they just do not have the time to manage all the noise.  With more than 100,000 registered members and sockpuppets their task must be daunting.  But that's why people gave them money, right?  It recently came to light that Theymos is now paying the moderators and that he is distributing the $600,000 worth of bitcoin the forums have collected from donations in addition to the $130,000 per year the forums generate by running BFL ads.

Now I'm not here to tell Theymos what to do with HIS money but I'm tired of the lack of support from he and the team and the fact that they hold more than 1/2 million dollars and are doing little to improve the forums is embarassing so I'm calling them out and starting a new forum.  


So I am calling for a group of volunteers to help design the next version of this forum, bitcointalk 2.0.

If you want to volunteer or you have an idea to improve the forums in the next iteration please post it here.  Any and all are welcome to post.  If you do not want to reveal your main avatar feel free to create a new account just to post in this thread.  With no rules here, no privacy policy, no terms of service, sock puppets are encouraged and that is, imho, half the problem.  

What would you do different if you were in charge of this forum?

Fixed it for you blackmailer.

What do you mean "what is 10mB to me?"? You said to name a price, so I started with what I consider a reasonable price for the service you suggested.

What kind of interest are you offering?

I Loooooose!

I would hire you to troll somebody, how about 10 mB a month, but I stop paying if your ignore button turns orange?

stopcoin. It's designed to seek out and destroy altcoin miners physically. Both the hardware and the owner. Also it's not a coin, it's a missile. But eh, close enough.

I guarantee if you can troll this post you'll receive accolades for your trolling prowess:

That would be... trollception.

I offer 0.5 BTC.

I think you're looking the wrong charts, there was no FTC crash.
