I would advise against ignoring those with differing opinions than yours. Especially on bitcoin security threads.
If I've learned anything from the Labcoin fiasco (where I lost 200+ btc), it's that I can't let cognitive dissidence cloud the perception of the validity my investments. There were an increasing number of what turned out to be valuable dissenting opinions that I simply ignored (and encouraged others to ignore). This more than any other is what I regret most about my time on this forum. Not because of the lost btc, but the fact that my vocal ignorance most assuredly caused others to lose money as well.
Though sometimes tiring and repetitive, dissenting opinion is valuable and should be considered.
That being said, you need to understand that there are competitor trolls on these forums that spread FUD on every thread but their own. They generally dedicate an entire account to each thread so that they can keep their arguments straight. You can easily spot them by looking at their post history... if this is the only thread they have ever posted in then you can be pretty sure it's simply a competitor.
At this point I haven't made my mind up on Darkstone2. He seems singularly committed to espousing the negative aspects of PETA while being completely immune to the possibility of success. At this point I'm just trying to ascertain his motivation.
I agree, but with the 2 here that I have let myself get drawn into "battles" with, neither seems to acknowledge the responses by those offering the other side of the argument.
I know how FUD and pump and dump crap works. There are only a few threads I monitor here, and likely as soon as petamine is @ or past the 700th mark and the dividends are drowning me, I will likely fall away from this thread.
I put darkstone on ignore because I am wasting time reading and responding to his posts, and that might be his goal, somehow he gets off on time we waste scrolling past his huge copy/pasta just to post 2 or 3 lines of BS.
As I have posted before as well, those that I would deem troll clearly have no clue how businesses work. If they did, they wouldn't be asking the questions they are, or at the very least they would be wording them differently.
IE, Cryptx: Can you clarify where the funds came from for the jump to 700th and the development of PCBs.
To me that information is not make or break for me, in fact I don't really care.
The fact that we can see their hashing on eligius and they gave us the reinvestment address is enough for me.
I don't personally care what funds were moved where and when to pay who for the design of pcbs or whether cryptx is "selling" electricity and hardware to petamine at some unknown profit margin.
My bet is that cryptx is using the purchasing power of the petamine to acquire hardware for their own mining, they could be building a private mine = or > the petamine and as long as I am getting paid what they say they will pay in dividends I don't care one way or the other.
