Oh look, another guy who is so worried his wallet.dat might drop in value that he'd rather defend a proven fraudster and hide all of it than having the truth be known.

I don't have Bitcoins atm, mining i0coins and sc (see stats Coinotron).

Ah ok, one of those who eagerly abandon bitcoin to go mine any other fork that gives them momentarily more profit. And you worry about what a witchhunt might do to bitcoin? It's people like you who cause more damage than anything, so gtfo.

I didn't say I'm worried about what a witchhunt might do to Bitcoins. Don't fill in the words for me.

I did say:

Did you hear the rumor? He drinks Pepsi...

Now we better stop this witch-hunt?

I'm just mining other currencies to make profit and sell them back to Bitcoins at a later stage.
No need to sell them for Dollars atm, just collecting and wait for prices to go up

Another part I had is sold for Dollars, so I don't have BTC atm (except for a few left in my wallet).

But not a mob of people selected by themselves Wink

You won't hear me say Bruce Wagner is innocent.
But I don't think we are the people to "hang 'm high".

You're right on that point. I'm convinced he's guilty, and there's just too much afoot for me to not have the strong opinion that the guy needs to stop trying to be the Bitcoin Jesus.

As to whether or how he's punished, that should be up to a court of law, and/or any higher power or universal force (i.e., karma) that takes an interest.

A bunch of geeks on an internet forum is apparently qualified to judge but we shouldn't be considered qualified to sentence. Cheesy

And yet, a court of law clearly is a mob of people. Grin

But they swear an oath! That changes everything!

Oh, wait. Congress swears an oath too and look at them.

Never mind.

A witch-hunt indicates that a mob of people is trying to burn an innocent person. Bruce Wagner is not an innocent person. At least not according to a court of law.

please remember that i did not say that we should ignore him, or forget about him. but use our energy on something more productive.
tell new people what bruce is, and tell people that you dislike him for being a Bad Thing for the bitcoin community. and then stop.

Are you fucking kidding me? Do you know how many -OLD- people are STILL saying the court documents don't prove he ever meant to scam anyone and crap like that?

and...? they don't proof anything, i don't know what bruce intents to do scam or not, only he knows. i don't care. bruce's time as front figure for this project is over. i don't actually care what he did, just that his bad reputation is damaging the community.
and if you people keep talking about him, and making a huge mess, instead of doing something good, bitcoin is likely to die.

No it's not. There's nothing about Bruce on the first page of Google results for Bitcoin. The first result is bitcoin.org and second is Wikipedia. The third result is an article from The Atlantic titled "The Bitcoin Economy Is Collapsing With No Sign of Recovery". I'd probably be more worried about that one.

I'm sure half the people defending Bruce just worry about what Google says about Bruce. I mean, really, his bills are probably due soon and he has a multi-hundred-thousand dollar judgment against him from a New York court. He needs more ~~suckers~~ clients to ~~steal~~ make some money from so he can ~~skip town and avoid the NY court judgment against him~~ pay the rent.

Bad things do not go away by not talking about them. They try that tactic in almost every dictatorial regime and it fails time and time again.
Bitcoin does not get harmed by talking about scammers. Bitcoin gets harmed by allowing scammers to go unnoticed, unspoken of and unattacked.

It is people like Magneto who are harming bitcoin more than his so called "witch hunters".

bruce got noticed. he did harm the community.

AND now you are harming the community too, by making alot a post about bruce, so that its the first thing you see when you search "bitcoin" on google. and thats not good for the community.

true bad things does not go away, by not talking about them. BUT bruce had been talked enough about, there is nothing more to talk about. seriously i don't want to hear more about him. but i want to hear about good projects from the community.

bruce bores me. and he sucks.

I'm building a Bitcoin Community Center with basketball courts and other activities to help keep the youth off the streets and away from ixcoins.

Smart idea. There's a flaw in how the ixcoins "fix" is set up, and I figured out how ixcoins can be basically killed. It's not exactly hard, and I'm sure someone else will if they already haven't.
