Yes those are alt accounts of his..

@rdnkjdi
Tell me what would you think if i said.. oh my ICO launches soon ?
Because that is exactly what Shelby said.

He also railed on WITH ME trashing Steem.. then ran around here posting Steem links all over for profits.

that is the tip of the ice berg of his hypocrisy.
He feels exempt.
And it is people like you defending him with comments like that fuel his inflated ego and related problems that arise from it.

One of the key reasons i have always said ICO's are bad is just because of that reason.
They are an exploitation.
Unfair and violate the ideology.
Ideology that exists for a reason which i hope does not need to be explained ..yet again.

Why did guys in the old days bitch & whine about a 2% premine ?
Maybe because money corrupts ?
Corrupts like when you scream Steem is scammy then start supporting it for profits ?
Or..
When you run around here saying ICO's are bad..
Then YOU LAUNCH ONE ?

I've been watching too..
And i can name on 1 hand who has not been taken down or exposed as a hypocrite.
Staff removed for extortion.. escrow guys caught being a fraud.. Shitcoin haters exposed as scammers.
Everyone wants a piece of the trillion dollar ICO game.
Money corrupts and no one is exempt.
..not even Shelby.  Roll Eyes

Mr Bitcoin was launched by US 3 letter agencies as a part of some grand conspiracy by the "TPB"
Which may be but he has never posted a shred of proof.


Reality:
I am not trying to save stupid.
I am posting history because it is largely forgotten.. posterity if you will Wink
I won't be ashamed for being the voice of reason.
I am an ex-con and am the last guy who should be handing out morality lessons.
So when it's me that is saying it you all should realize how fucking pathetic you are.
It's the equivalent of Satan saying hey guys.. you are being *too* bad  Cheesy

I also have been saying all along i come here for my own amusement.
I have said "I told you so" here so much i have google searched it lots many times over the years to tally it up. (it's lots)
I am always right and people here are idiots.

All i have ever heard is why do you hate crypto and why do you hate Altcoins and why do you have profits ?

I say over & over like everything i say *repeated.. i don't.
I just don't support pure garbage for profits.
Why ?
Morality ?
Fuck no.. i don't give a shit about that crap.
I say what i do because it is in ALL our best interest.
The path to success is paved with good intentions and sincerity and hard work etc.
I say what i do so it will get some of our coins adopted and used and some money in our pockets in the process.

Pieces of shit here say ohhhhh why do you hate profits ?
They have the gall.. no the nerve.. not the mother fucking audacity to look me in the eye and pretend there is no distinction between legit coin profits and scam coin profits.

Fuck you all.
This forum is a vast ocean of sleazy back stabbing fraud.
I know because i sent Paypal here years ago ratting you all out.
I would probably rat you out to the cops too.
And i don't take being a rat lightly.. but you profiteers deserve it.

You know what sums it up (off the top of my head)
When CoinMarketCap lists LEO Coin.. a confirmed MLM scam coin. (or why ETH has no asterisk)
Why ? you tell me..
And it goes on and on.. from Shelby posting his Steem links to Coindesk shenanigans to other news sites advertising fraud schemes. and on and on and on.. scam central.

Oh and the asterisk at CoinMarketCap is there because of me.
I suggested Gliss do that or something else.. on the CMC topic here and Gliss and his cheerleaders pounced on me with insults calling me a Troll claiming i was posting FUD then later silently added the asterisks as i fucking said !
And no i didn't get an apology or even credit for it either. Roll Eyes

Cryptsy loved to cite.. "User Demand"
Later Big Vern fucked you all.
I half think it sucks and i half think it is funny because many deserved it.

You all signed up at RawX ?
Ya you are.. the new random guy that showed up claiming to want to resurrect McxNOW kept crying FUD and posting how he is re-coding it etc and asking us to sign up.. later he said he had a database dump so he has your old logins from McxNOW.
I think 1 guy went on the record backing me up saying it was scammy bullshit.
And as predicted the fucker waited a while talked some shit, cried FUD.. then ran off.
Ref Link:

Why am i here ?
To pull the mask off your faces.
And give kidiot brats a history lesson.

I think Shelby may be back (not positive, just a possibility).  I was digging thru some of his Steem articles, noticed his comments on Tezos STARKs (I'm most certainly average intelligence but feel a little bit better that I generally wind up interested in the projects he's commenting on before I stumble across his analysis).

Hopefully he's back.

@rdnkjdi . He has been sending me messages with links and quotes of what he has said in the forum over and over. I am starting to think the he is on drugs like meth.

Sometimes he talks about very random things like the vitamins he took for that day and vaccines for his father in law.

He is both ingenious and insane.  Way back in the day I was in contact with him on bitmessage.

Often the people who are genius enough to pull off something great are absolutely insane.  Somewhere on the board he was posting dick pics asking about some type of disease and it caused an uproar.  But honestly there are only about 5 people on here I feel like provide valuable information - and most of them post less and less.  I mean this place isn't even about scamming anymore.  It's spotniek trying to uphold his reputation of noob Jesus by saving them from ICOs.  Three people trying to scam.  30 people asking "is altcoin #581 going to pump?" with absolutely no idea if it has any type of innovation - and no reason to care.  

The majority of the posts are by people leveling up accounts to sell to scammers I assume.  So tell him I said I wish he'd come back or keep blogging on steem or whatever.  I ran into his post on Tezos the other day about STARKs.  And also a very recent political post (although I'm more interested in his crypto analysis than political - just because that whole side of the world has exhausted me to the point of not being able to afford to care anymore.)

Glad he's still around.

@cryptohunter
..you are full of shit buddy.
I called them out first.. all of them.
Try Ethereum or Steem or Ripple way waaaaaaaaaaaaay the fuck before Shelby did or anyone else.
Ideology bud.
Something Shelby pretends to adhere to when i actually live and breath it.
He says Steem is scammy as he posts Steem links for profits all over the forum.. hypocrisy to the highest order !
I am the one who went after Carbon Coin and HYP ..first.
I am the one who created the first scam topics on BlockNET and ETHEREUM in 2014.
And i took the punishment for it too !
You got some fucking nerve bullshitting and trying to attack me like that when i can prove you wrong infinitely.

I have caught Shelby red handed many times saying one thing and doing another.
He eventually says Steem is scammy then later posts links to Steem stories all over for money.
How fucked up is that ?

First ?

Read my topic on Ethereum being a scam i posted as it launched..
I can rattle of lots of examples ..that was just off the top of my head.

Anyway.. you are an idiot.
I have no idea why you waste so much effort defending the maniac here.

Mr ICO's are horrible but i will launch my own guy ahhahahhahaha
Mr A good coin can not be launched with out pre-funding in the millions of dollars range guy.

What ?
Did you already invest in Shelby's ICO ?  Cheesy

This topic is done.. i finished it.
I put a fork in his ass a dozen times.
I buried him so bad here there is no coming back.. especially not with out theymos' personal approval.  Cheesy

Reality Check:
I am not on trial here.
I relayed the info because i read the other topics and watched a lot of it play out before my eyes.
Shelby is.. because he claimed to already "HAVE" the Bitcoin Killer and claimed it would be posted in early 2017.. his words.

He's banned because he's a brat.
What's to defend ?
All he had to do is tell theymos i will follow the rules and he would be here.
HE CHOSE NOT TO !
Like a defiant stubborn child.
And you come after me over it all ?
Gimme a break..

I posted what i did here to inform people as to what went down.
If you disagree then just look at the links i posted with proof and read it yourself.
I posted because people were asking and are STILL asking..

And a couple key criticisms aside i wish the guy best of luck and i was rooting for him to stay.
Don't blame me all mad because he let you down..
I also told him to stay when he created a grand farewell topic.. remember that ?
Back when he said he had his main account banned for an i quote "Ethereum FUD"

Guess what..

I INVENTED ETHEREUM FUD  Grin  Cool

Oh and when he was last here.. he had me on ignore like a baby he told me.

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?
Let's not forget he was the only person with the skill set needed to review new projects that took the time to do so so that the rest of us had any idea what we were getting into.

Board lost more with him leaving than if 99% of the rest bailed. There are a handful of people here that will push progress in this arena the rest of us are here to profit and improve our lifestyles if possible.

Sure he was up and down  and I realised he does have a slight issue in dealing with normal people.  I think it is a lack of patience and frutration that others don't automatically get things straight away that he says.

Overall very useful person lost. No point talking about it really, when and if he wants to come back I'm sure he will. YOu can ban a username and ip but not a person. If he is not back he simply does not want to be back as yet.

If anyone one person can design a bitcoin killer I would have thought he is one of the handful that could have a chance. Time will tell.

Why did he leave? Was he banned?  Is he working on a digital currency project?

Banned. He is still working on Bitnet (along with other projects, I believe). He is on steemit and github.

MY RED TRUST LEFT BY SCUMBAGS - READ MY SIG
Satoshi may have been a bad room-mate but he followed the rules here didn't he ?

Let me remind you all he was as I PREDICTED almost two years earlier over & over..
prepping himself to launch his own ICO.
While simultaneously calling them all scams ..riding on my coat-tails again.

I eventually got him to admit it too.

It was yet ANOTHER case of his arrogant ego.
Where he railed on endlessly how YOU are not to make an ICO.
But it's ok if HE does !

Later he even was quoted saying it would be posted in early 2017.
Then we never did see 1 line of code or even a white paper or even a vague concept.

You can't ignore the fact that he spouts of a whole hell of a lot of shit (see politics section)
So that matters when it's time for him to come and claim to have the Bitcoin Killer.

He kept demanding this topic be locked.
I said why ?
The OP here was asking the community a question.
Then he said it was "Distracting" vs him staying away writing code.
I told him so fucking what.. it's not for you buddy !
The OP was asking all of us.. does he have the Bitcoin Killer ?
So we all answered.

And like i just FUCKING SAID ..he did claim to have it ..but he doesn't !

He was banned because he acts like a bull in a China shop here.
A lack of respect to the users and to the staff and to the site owner.

Let me put it this way.
He CHOSE to snub theymos's offer for getting unbanned.
You may think ok well maybe he did that so he stays away and can focus on his coding.
Ok well why have people posted that he simply went onto other sites and continued posting then ?
See ?
It's not about making a smart decision.
It's about his childish stubborn defiant arrogant inflated ego.

The reality is all the shit he has been roped up in does in fact related directly to his claims of working on the Bitcoin Killer.
And we are all giving him credit when it's due.
It's just that some of us are willing to take the full context into perspective here on this.

Did Satoshi feel the need to rail on about how there should be no forum rules ?
No he shut his fucking mouth and wrote code.
Kind of hard to write code when you sit here shooting your mouth off.
I know i have been guilty of that myself before.

I'd see this as saying i plan on making a Windows killer.
Yup my new OS will blow all the other ones out of the water.
And.. i will do it on my own.

I started working on a PC game in C++ using the Valve source engine way back.
Eventually i quit.
I realized the logistics of it was simply too much.
It was just to much work for one person to accomplish the goals i had set out.
That is being real.
That is something an arrogant cocky loud mouth will fail to see.

I am not tacking on another disclaimer here either.
He gets criticism because it's deserved.
It has nothing to do with belittling him personally or his accomplishments or skills.
I wish him the best of luck with things.

Since we don't know who satoshi is then we are unable to comment upon how he behaves under his new handle if he has one. Or what he is like at all.

Also regarding your up thread comment which i must have missed before and essentially calling me a liar...

Let's get serious - you have never called out a big scam project first.
You rode my coat tails ( i dont like saying things like that since it seems like seeking some kind of recognition which is not and should not be important only trying to stop the scams are important not who does it) on the original and first dash scam thread then did a 180 and started promoting them when they paid you off. I have posted the corroborating evidence for this in the spot thread I made to call you out after you were taking things too far with your dash pumping/cheerleading. Which demonstrated you even going as far as inverting specific arguments you used previously. If you want that bumped to the first page again let me know.

You then think after this to start raving on about your scam hunting and legitimacy. Get real. You're lucky I'm generous and don't simply reference that thread in every post you make. You then sully my feedback with fake and unproven crying and lies about me promoting xmr with no evidence and no corroborating events. You sold out and are lucky you are not hounded on every post. I would not start lecturing about others here and calling me a liar again with no evidence. When i say I have read his opinions on several new projects and he has commented on their design that is what i mean. BB, mrai, sia, steam,eth , dash (didn't he point out some vital flaw they had to fix) and several others that I had been interested in at the time. Of course I am not suggesting he vetted every new project how many novel designs are there out there?

I used to stick up for you in the past but since once you were a valuable poster, still even now some of your knowledge is useful but starting to get on your high horse about stuff is completely ridiculous. Stick to posting facts not bullshit like you asked me for details of these project reviews but never received any answer. Where is the PM i never got one. Where is the post? All or the majority of his reviews are on this board. bb, sia (met the dev head on for a discussion) steam and dpos designs he has given his analysis many others. I have not read them all since I stick to reading about projects I am interested in.

Anyway I am not here to stick up for anonymint anyone who has read many of his posts will be sure he knows his stuff. I've given my opinion on him but you are wrong that he has not analysed many new novel designs in the past. You have also never asked me for references to them which I would not spend time looking for anyway since they are all on the board for anyone to find.

The best thread or contribution you made was predicting the cryptsy demise well before hand. I give you full credit for that. Hence willing to view the dash cheerleading as a blip or desperate move. But getting on your high horse after that is unthinkable. Saying you asked me for these reviews is also a lie. Stick to posting the truth and facts and you can't go wrong.

I simply pointed out the truth many of you want to pretend doesn't exist.
I have urged him to stay lots.
Whether we are on good standing or not.. many times.

He left because he wanted to.. he let you all down.
Not me and my "FUD".

You think he is special enough to basically give theymos & staff the middle finger and say i don't have to follow any rules ?
Doesn't that seem a bit childish & silly ?

He showed up here and created a bunch of accounts clicking AGREE to the TOS.
So he can make a reasonable effort to follow the rules or yeah i don't blame staff for booting him.
And i would be on Shelby's side more than any staff here too.
I've butt heads with them lots before also and who knows they may be gunning to get rid of me soon too.
I just don't see how Shelby can expect any other result with his behavior.

He pressed their button and they hit the ban button.
He had a chance to fix things and he snubbed his nose up at it.
I should defend him because he's "special" ?

All the fucking guy had to do is agree to quit braking the rules and he would have been unbanned.
How many people get an offer like that from the site owner who has to manage 1+ million accounts ?

Anyway..
I have no idea if theymos's offer is still on the table.
But i would urge Shelby to try and work it out.
I voted for him to stay here all along and it's up to him ultimately.

Love ya buddy.

Probably the only person ever to scam no one and receive a -8 trust rating just because people hated you ruining their scam fun.

He abandoned you here guys because he felt after all these years he was entitled to break the rules when he feels like.

He's had more than one account perma banned too.
His 2nd to last one (IamNotBack) was banned for what i quoted earlier.
And he claimed the staff banned him because of "Ethereum FUD"
Then they give him another chance and he does all the same shit again..
And once again he railed on with conspiracy etc.

He has never understood in his infinite wisdom WHY things happen.
Yet is willing to quote himself ranting away 5 times in row all over.
His self quotes here were HUGE !

But he let you down cheerleaders.
He CHOSE this outcome.

theymos himself said if he was willing to say he would stop doing it they would unban him.
He said NO.

Oh c'mon sponiek.  He was the only one who hated scams and ICOs as much as you do.

And he was as crazy and flamboyant with a different shade of troll too.  He made this place ... special.

MY RED TRUST LEFT BY SCUMBAGS - READ MY SIG
@stereotype..

Whilst there are indeed some elements of truth to what you say I just see it differently.
If he can come up with a ground breaking design then money and collaborators will come flocking. I also do not believe it will be essential to have a huge team. I notice a few projects that are certainly not run of the mill are single dev projects both in design and implementation.

If he can bring a groundbreaking white paper then to be part of an almost certain multi billion or greater opportunity will have collaborators kicking his door down and investors shoving their btc in his face or loading in on exchanges depending on distributional method.

On top of this we should not forget he is very very ill. Most people suffering such a debilitating illness at senior(ish) age would not be anywhere near as active in any form as he is. I agree sometimes he is difficult to get along with but under such circumstances i think we can empathise a little more. If he was in full health and not suffering from days without sleeping i think you would experience a much improved far more patient and less frustrated version of him.

I guess anything that anyone writes here is merely speculation. I am simply saying that if you had to pick just 20 people from this entire board that could come up with a ground breaking new design that would improve on btc and perhaps even be classed as a bitcoin killer then I would think quite a few people would have him on their list.

Many well known and recognised creative geniuses from the past and present were notoriously difficult to get along with and even considered pretty nuts by most of their peers and those that came into contact with them. I am not saying he has yet proven himself to be considered in their league in terms of creativity or achievements, but I personally as a betting man i could not write him off and say he could not as yet come through with something big here.

I guess there is not much further either person can add to this debate it is merely a matter of opinion at this stage... and only time will tell.
Again no offense to you personally with any of my comments. This is my view only based on what I have observed.

Proof-of-work coins such as Bitcoin, Monero, and Zcash will lose all their security in the coming crisis, because miners won't be able to exchange BTC for fiat to pay their electricity.

Board lost more with him leaving than if 99% of the rest bailed. 
Gone right off you sir. Thats an outrageous observation, and quite insulting to many here.

No need for anyone to be offended. I am talking in technical knowledge to this specific arena. I said clearly I include myself in the 99%. If you believe more than 1 in 100 here can offer more technical insight and assistance in explaining to the non technical here then you simply have a different view to myself. I have no idea if you are a skill cryptographer/coder/conceptual designer so you may find other areas of assistance more useful. That is my pov only.

I have made several quite good friends here and would not like them to think i was saying I couldn't care less if they left. I'm sure they did not take it that way and understood I meant.

I was simply saying if you want to ask for example about a new design. Let's say xby (not that I am advocating investing there since I have not been able to get anyone capable to explain to me if it is a useful design or not yet) who else can you ask for an analysis, who else will lay out the positives and negatives for people to read in more laymans terms? he was one of the only persons that seemed to take his time and review them for free for everyone to read.

I am not kissing up to him at all I am simply saying that in my observations and to the best of my abilities I thought when he got into debates in the past with people of proven technical ability (through their work produced) he held his own and even at times found flaws in their designs. I also notice many proven top developers took notice of his opinions and asked for his advice. That to me is enough to see that those here who are now suggesting he wanted to seem smart are wrong and that he actually was/is very smart.

Simple as that. No ass kissing, not hating. Just the observations I made of events that have taken place.

If you were talking just in technical terms, then ok, yes. He certainly appeared to know his subject. Im even on record saying he is highly intelligent. But, smart?? No way my friend. No no no. The very opposite.....clinically opposite, even!
Smart people do not need to shove shed loads of repeated text down peoples throats.
Smart people do not choose to suffer for many years, from a very treatable condition.
Smart people dont feel the need to belittle people with very ordinary differing opinions.
Smart people dont make claims to have something Bitcoin-killer-better, when they cannot show anything to substantiate.
Smart people understand the importance of bringing others along with you, on a project.
Smart people stay away from the distractions of this forum, when theres other things to get on with!
Smart 50+ year olds first learnt the above, when they were in their 20's.
I could go on...... 

I agree, being well informed on a technical level does not equal being smart in social and other life aspects. To me it rather sounds like some asperger/autism/emotional problems. Unless you solve/reduce them, you will not succeed with anything you do. And that is pretty much the definition of being smart: recognize your (own) obstacles and start removing them in a timely manner. For some people it is also called "growing up".
Agreed. Actually, i do believe it is possible to have all the socially inept character traits and ignored life-lessons that he possesses, and still be successful.....however, you're gonna need some very special people around you to support that. And thats the point here. Nothing meaningful can ever be created and maintained by this character because you just cant do what he claims to want to do, on his own. Collaboration is key, and it requires much input from much people to create something crypto-meaningful. It needs management skills he most definitely does not have. Did you notice on this thread how he choose to treat the very people who could have helped and collaborated with him, with utter disdain and disrespect. Dont think Gavin or anyone else, would have stayed very long, if Satoshi talked to people like Shelby does. He sees a threat, when he should have seen an opportunity, and his pathetic need to show all you how fuckin great he is, is the reason why there will be no Bitcoin killer. Whoever chooses to work with such an insecure 50 year old prick, deserves the biggest medal ever.
