Someone else started a Bitcoin shitlist:
http://bitcoin-shitlist.com

And btw, Goat is on it... which he perhaps deserves due to the part he played in the whole Pirate thing.
You can read more about that here Pirate accomplices
and no doubt find more questionable/untrustworthy members... see Vladimir's list there for example, and the follow-up discussion.

And given recent events Matthew N. Wright should be near the top of your list.

And if you are going to maintain a list like this you should keep your first post ( the OP ) updated so people don't have to read through all the posts and pages to see all the names.

Great idea!

Forgot about that one. Jerk had some of us actually feel bad for him and some weird situation with a 'street' insulin purchase.

I think this was his attempt to manipulate us.
Only the bitcoin community was scammed out of $20000
But more people were scammed IRL (his rommates for example). Someone mentioned shakaru andrew nollan moved and continues to scam people, I wish I lived closer to him.

"Never whistle while you are pissing"- must try that, how hard can it be?

It is not a question of difficulty but of integrity, authenticity, and being 'in' the world and not 'of' it...

Quote from: Hagbard Celine

If you whistle while you’re pissing, you have two minds where one is quite sufficient. If you have two minds, you are at war with yourself. If you are at war with yourself, it is easy for an external force to defeat you. This is why Mong-tse wrote, “A man must destroy himself before others can destroy him.”

I for one, thing that this is a useful thread. I don't have anything to contribute though. Is there a thread of particularly reputable BTC users? Might also be useful (and might invoke less acrimony!).

That's a great idea, I'll keep my eye open for those who seem to be the most reputable and if no one else beats me to it I will start a thread when I have a few names...

Trust no one.

There is actually a stickied post called that. The top one... the first one newbies should be reading...

Yes, I recently posted in that thread suggesting that it should be stickied on top of EVERY sub forum. I'm sure non-newbies have lost much more than newbies to the various scam artists. Maybe people need to be reminded occasionally.

Its somewhat disappointing that in addition to teaching people about Bitcoin we also have to teach them basic life lessons as well. I suppose we have the nanny state to thank for that.

We need another list...

Don't run with scissors in your hand
Always wear clean underwear in case you are in an accident
Don't play with yourself or you will go blind
Don't give your money to strangers
Never whistle while you are pissing
Don't mess around with Jim
...

Who do YOU know that's dirty...?

Add Shakaru a.k.a. Andrew Nollan to the list.
You'll find a few more here:

Good list, btw. C4, you should participate if you are at all serious in your motivations here with this.

Well, all things considered, even if DonShrents is NOT pirateat40 and IS just a troll, his username STILL belongs in this thread as someone who is not to be trusted, which REALLY IS the point of this thread. So, I'm done arguing semantics, trust him or don't, your choice.

i thought this thread was about 'Questionable BTC user', not 'Untrustable BTC Users'?

Pretty much the same thing there, sport. Either way one thing this thread is not here for is to argue semantics, so go troll elsewhere...

Since you're obviously incable of reading my subtle hints otherwise, I'll spell it out for you. You're thread is useless, a waste of space and holds 0 value being posted by someone who themselves cannot be known to be 'questionable' or not, Sport.

A few names for the GOOD USERS thread, if one gets started, in no particular order:

Patrick Harnett

Goat, he does what he says, but you have to make sure you read the fine print because it might say he is taking all your money. Cheesy

Nefario, despite the nefarios handle, he runs the GLBSE and is one of the most trusted and respected members of the forum.

Theymos (do we get extra points for sucking up to the admins?)

Senbonzakura

Gavin Andresan (sp?)

If I can get a couple senior members to confirm these names as trust-worthy I will start the new thread with their names =)

i dont know Senbonzakura but i do trust the rest

Alright, see if I can get just a couple more and I will start the thread

What does anyone being able to choose any nickname have to do with anything?

He's saying there's no reason to assume the user here is Don Shrents. Given it was only registered a couple weeks ago it's far more likely it's a troll.

But the lesson has been taught that unless you have 100.000000000% proof you cannot say that anymore! Even 99.9999999999999999999999999999% proof is not enough.

"more likely" ha don't be silly it is not how it works anymore.
