Hes really a big help for busting out scam projects accurately.
Which scam? Here's what I found he appeared to accurately spot from a cursory scan: Cryptsy, everything concerning that Leroy guy, GAW/Butterfly Labs, maybe 5-10 other tiny ICOs I'd never heard of and never seemed to gain much steam
Things he spewed vitrol about but is still undetermined: Legends Room (although he's calmed down on them now that they seem close to potentially proving they aren't a scam), Bitland
And things he predicted wrong: Bitgold/Goldmoney (he attacked them similar to us, and they're still kicking and seem legit 2 years after all of his trolling), AMT(oh wait, he apologized for that one after a few months of trolling)
I personally wonder where he was when I was still in the scam spotting business. I don't recall ever seeing or hearing about him or his primary alter-ego (though I don't keep track of his 20+ sock puppet accounts). He has actually "spotted scams" very few times, because he mostly sticks to only a few different projects (Leroy was his favorite) and off-topic posts. Seems all he does is try to dox whoever he somehow finds out about (seriously Gleb, who tells you about these projects? Why only these projects and not the many other obvious scams on BCT that you've failed to warn the community about?), cherry pick anything he can find on the internet supporting his case, makes ridiculous assumptions, then posts it all in his humorous ranting style with lots of memes, and finally alerts his friends/sock puppets that he posted so that they can back him up and legitimize his assumptions. I guess the upside to his trolling here is at least he's been fairly clean in this thread and not talking about raping people like in his Leroy and (pre-apology) AMT threads.
First off, I think you forgot about my Phinneaus Gage account busting scammers. Secondly, theymos has my permission to delete all 76 accounts of mine on this forum if he finds evidence of me ever alerting a user so to post after I post. The ONLY two/three exceptions that I can think of over the years is that I have (2/3 times) PM a user(s) to make him aware of a recent post of mine, but they were already active in the respective scam threads.
earlz, your post above is virtually identical to what previous scammers have penned about my scammy ass, all of which are no longer part of this space (hopefully).
In re The Legends Room, I attended a Vegas meetup over the weekend, and all of the ~30 attendees know damn well to stay away from that outfit, with voices larger than mine leading the pack in the convos, I mostly sharing my findings, thus the discontent didn't stem from me.
The Legends Room thread is deleting ALL posts proving that it's a scam.
Please inform your base that you're not sticking up for Leroy Fodor, else that would truly be Qtum's demise. The raping you've alluded to stemmed from a lie that Leroy Fodor posted, all documented.
Surely you don't think that Marshall Long is a good guy, do you? I nailed his cupped balls to a tree long time ago. NOT A SINGLE person I've met in person has anything good to say about Marshall, not even Brock Pierce.
Did you forget about Black Arrow? Read all my posts in that thread proving beyond a shadow of doubt that they were a scam. Several others concurred in the same thread. FUCK ME! I just remembered that ALL them posts were deleted by Black Arrow.
Here's your contribution to the Cryptsy scam:
http://earlz.net/view/2016/01/16/0717/analyzing-the-56-million-exploit-and-cryptsys-securityWell, good to know Gleb is an expert in China and all modern Chinese culture and social media practices. Remind me again, how many weeks have you spent in China to get all this knowledge?
Anyway, for those not in the know (including myself to some extent), WeChat is pretty unbelievably big. WeChat accounts for 30% of all mobile internet time spent in China, and Chinese people spend on average 90 minutes per day on WeChat. It has ~800M daily users (most of which are Chinese)... For a western comparison, Facebook has 1.2B monthly users (couldn't find a good daily number). Everyone here talks about how Facebook wants to become the portal to the internet, but WeChat has already successfully done that in China. WeChat has mini-apps and such, as well as handling money etc. If you have a phone with only WeChat installed in China, you're prepared for about 95% of what life throws at you. Most people in China don't bother with laptops, it's all about phones and mobile access. I've tried learning some Chinese (both speaking and typing), and it blew my mind how easy Chinese is to type out on a phone. To me the Android and iOS Chinese keyboards are a lot easier than a traditional PC keyboard (with Window's built in pinyin thing). Anyway, all this to say that trying to understand the culture from outside without having seen how people there interact and without having learned any of the language is difficult. I know when I visited there for the first time it was an absolute culture shock, even with all the reading and such I did beforehand.
Our plans to integrate smart contracts with WeChat is also driven by how large it is, and we think this will ultimately propel us into mainstream usage in China, allowing app developers to integrate blockchain technology into the readily accessible WeChat mini-app market
Okay, I concede that you got me on that one, for I haven't spend one nanosecond in China like you have to amass such knowledge on WeChat in comparison to Facebook. I, sadly, have to admit that I, as old man sans a job living in a van with four flat tires down by the Colorado River, has to resort to Wikipedia to perhaps come as close to you in knowledge of said subjects, earlz.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WeChatWeChat had over 889 million Monthly Active Users in 2016 90% of whom were Chinese. For comparison, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp (two other competitive international messaging services better-known in the West) had about 1,000 million Monthly Active Users in 2016 but did not offer most of the other services available on WeChat. In 2017 it was reported that more than half of WeChat's users spend over 90 minutes a day on the app.
That's odd! Wikipedia didn't depicted a
good daily number either, else I'm sure you would've gleaned that as well, also adjusting that number somewhat so to further cloak your newfound knowledge, alluding to your experience of residing in China for a spell.
See how easy it is read through you lyin' pieces of shit? It took me longer to pen this post so to inform the readers than it did to uncover your bullshit.
Please try harder next time, for you're makin' my non-job too fuckin easy.
