Speculation thread != Monero. If you want to criticize me for my actions on the speculation thread, whether or not I agree with you, that is legitimate. If you want to criticize me for the actions of others, that is not legitimate.

Not everyone no, but some people are pieces of shit, and when they are I call them out and reference the evidence documenting it.

If you want a nice fun time gambling on nonsense, with no one being challenged (other than maybe some friendly ribbing) when they fuck up or held accountable for their own actions, stick with your Friday night poker game or office betting pool.

This is that "we are doing it decentralized" philosophies that is very important to your ethics.

Okay but I just want to remind you that you are the dicktator in chief of the Monero Speculation thread that is bumped every 6 seconds.

Dicktator != decentralized.

Good reply overall except for that part. I'm not "managing" any community, I'm part of one (actually many, some overlapping). I have no say over what people do, nor who supports Monero and what they say or do about it. People are responsible for their own actions.

Lol. In my opinion the problem about the Monero community is that smooth himself is one who tells everyone that they are a piece of s*** and delusional meglomaniacs and what not. You paint him innocent. He's insanely guilty.

Lol. Do you know what it feels like when you have a eureka moment, then share it and have noobtrader and MoneroMoo tell you that you are piece of shit that never accomplished anything and you are delusional meglomaniac and other kinds of other nice words.

And then when I refute ArticMine's Communist defense of Copy-left licenses, smooth protects his community by deleting my posts. I mean I am in the middle of a debate and he censors it. I understand the dilemma he has. But I would never, never had put up with a community like that.

If I end up with a community like that, I will disown them! I'll kick them out on their ass to go join my competitor. Even Linus knows troublemakers are not worth it. You keep the people who can help you succeed. Let your competitor have the riff raff, lol.

Seriously though the altcoin scene is a rollercoaster of male menstruation cycles.

Basically the community I am shooting for are those who are helpful, pleasant, insightful, critical in an amicable way, and of course the big prize is the huge community of 6 billion people. I don't expect to get them all into a forum. I have to reach them with technology. So this forum is kind of irrelevant in a way.

Yes smooth paid me out of his own pocket. I thought I had an agreement with Monero but I guess there isn't really any official "Monero" so it wasn't quite clear who would judge if I deserved any bounty. It was a mess.

And smooth out of the kindness of his own heart, paid me afair 2.5 BTC.

The BCX incident is difficult to explain. I thought I was helping and as smooth says I did find one insight, but in another way I unwittingly perhaps helped BCX short Monero or whatever he did. I am not really even clear what happened.

Any way smooth never bribed me. Smooth knows he doesn't own me. Lol. I flip him middle finger in PMs sometimes (rarely and almost always about the community he is managing). Seriously though, smooth is an ethical person.

Your issue with smooth is not his ethics. The issue is smooth believes in community very much. I just want to point out to smooth that a community of Linux developers is not the same animal as a community of gamblers who are not communing about coding.

Smooth and I would be happy campers in a forum of like-minded programmers talking tech shop.

My guess is Smooth seems to believe in enforcing ethics and creating a community for Monero. I think this is where the boundaries get blurred. It is not that smooth is incorrect in his logic. But there are different perspectives and feelings in play. And different vested interests and all valid from their own right. I think perhaps we just need to admit the altcoin arena is a Wild West that doesnt want a Sheriff.

Any way, he is free to do it his way. Smooth has very little influence over me. He has influence over me in terms of explaining realities in the altcoin scene that I wasn't focused on. But I also work through the logic on my own and eventually perhaps come to a different perspective over time.

This can only happen here on Bitcointalk!

What I think funny is that the same day TPTB_need_war (as sockpuppet1) calls Monerian's communists a real sock puppet calls smooth an imperialist who bribed TPTB_need_war to say nice things about Monero. Too weird.

@Spoetnik
could you please come into this thread and share your detailed opinion on the present matter with us?

LOL no. We offered him a bounty for identifying weaknesses in Monero in 2014*, which I paid him and he has written about on the forum many times since. Nothing has been kept secret.

Nice FUD though.

* This was in connection with the alleged coin-stealing vulnerability in the crypto BCX claimed to have, and which TPTB claimed to have found, but which turned out to be nonexistant FUD. What TPTB found had nothing to do with BCX but was still a valid contribution so I paid him anyway.
