First of all... Holy mother of necros!

Ok, that out of the way... In the years that this forum has been operating Theymos has failed to pull of any scam that caught our attention. I am sure opportunity has stared him in the face many times. I declare him to be the most inadequate scammer I know.

Not scamming when presented with opportunity to do so generally shows a person can be trusted, though it is no guarantee.

Theymos is unlikely to be Michael Maquardt. There is no info available on the net of that name.

Theymos is not anonymous.

A quick search will give you his name and other info about him. He is also working on other projects so is probably very busy with them. He does have several websites that he runs eh twitter so it is probably best of you contact him directly to one of these accounts.

We already know what Theymos' name is :3

Trade Fortress doxxed him, if anyone was quick enough to read the dox, they'd know who Theymos is.

Why do you want to know who Theymos is? We should respect his choice of privacy!

Trade Fortress actually doxxed Theymos.
Not quite, AFAIK he just compiled info which was publicly available.

He attempted to post to where in the blockchain Theymos' dox is. It didn't allow him to post an autobanned him instead. But doxes are allowed Roll Eyes

I see this as somewhat an accusation to Theymos.  Shocked
I think it would be crazy for someone to actually put  same password for your bitcointalk account and your hot wallet. That would be a crazy thing to do the fact that anyone who is determined to really access the forum server can always do, be it by force or not.

TradeFortress is a different story.

Trade Fortress actually doxxed Theymos. That's why he's banned.
Fairly sure he just posted an existing dox which was on the internet, but was just banned from this forum.

I think he paid for donator just to change his name, lol Cheesy
TF has been donator since long before I even joined, probably at least 3 years at this point (if not more).

Theymos is pretty much known as Satoshi's first mate
Eh, I'd say that Gavin got closer to Satoshi as he was entrusted with continuing the project as a whole and with the Alert Keys to the project.

he's basically the admin of bitcoin.
He's the admin of a lot of the Bitcoin community (BCT & r/bitcoin), not Bitcoin its self.

IIRC Satoshi chose theymos because of his technical know-how, and maybe that he trusted him. But I don't think satoshi would've thought that the forum would grow into what it currently is
Edit:
he's basically the admin of bitcoin.
Owh hell no

Has Theymos (the person who runs this forum) ever revealed any personal info about himself? Do we know his name, where he lives, etc? Is the real person behind the Theymos handle an active member of the community apart from on this forum and on reddit?

Gavin Andresen follows him on twitter.  One tweet.  Come on Michael, some more effort would be nice https://twitter.com/theymos
who is the one guy He is following ? @Simpsonsvault , I doubt it is an imposter made it in 2012.

It was a Simpsons streamer.

that doesn't excuse theymos's behavior. he knows what I'm talking about Wink but maybe he has an explanation.
Seems legit

false can easily be used to drop price by 25% or more.

It'd get picked up instantly on the dev IRC and handled promptly, refer to what happened in march.

And even if it didn't, the price wouldn't drop in five minutes by some random number you just pulled out of your ass. People actually reading the notification, seeing past the bullshit would see an opportunity to buy the coins dropped by the clueless panic-sellers.

Lurk more, think harder.

sell before alert
send alert
buy after alert before price rebounces
claim you were hacked.

well written copy. pick your choice

1) backdoor found in windows binary of bitcoin-qt
2) bitcoin core devs arrested for assisting money laundering
3) ECSDA attack found, all bitcoins unsafe.

this will drop the price instantly, good well written authentic copy will do tons of damage.

now theymos be accountable and explain why you read so many PMs without a legitimate reason for reading them
If you don't answer with a good response and apologize, I will post evidence and it's not going to be pretty

little bit of proof.. be more honest about justmoon/moongate's admin account password reuse on another forum Wink
