Well just to be sure batty gets nominated, here's my vote.
Because you know, any troll who can sustain a completely nonsensical, ridiculous thread for 4 plus years, well, he takes the cake. (thread started on April Fools day which obviously is no coincidence and is sadly, one of the longest running threads on bitcointalk, so yeah, the general public who stumble on it just got their suspicions confirmed that bitcoiners are all lunatics)

Thnx.
I'll be watching. Sometimes I'm in need of a mood fix. Grin

I won't go digging years back, just mentioning current ones:

notbatman the nazi flat-earther
r0ach/realr0ach the nazi (seems like a pattern) metalist
cryptohunter the undead legend, could be a nazi too

I wouldn't call BADecker a troll. Despite being a lunatic he doesn't seem to be aiming to anger or provoke other users. There are some better candidates in P&S but on the other hand I'm fully aware how those topics make people say stupid things IRL, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they're just opinionated idiots, not trolls. Perhaps "involuntary trolls".

...And as an added note, that pious delusional, anti-vaxxer, evolution denying idiot, BADecker, gets honorable mention....

I remember Adam always offering to give him BTC which he always refused. The most bizarre of all is that he's still there on Reddit plugging away as dedicated as ever despite the relentless mushrooming of Bitcoin. The amount of time he's put in means he could've been a millionaire using that time to mine with a pencil and paper.

He must have put in thousands, or tens of thousands of hours in by now.

I nominate Spoetnik and BitcoinEXpress even though he deleted many of his posts. They haven't posted since 2018 so I don't think they are going to feel validated.

How about winner gets a post limit per day. like 1 post per day , so they can selectively troll , and put extra thought into it.

I'd say the top 3 get to stay and post as usual but all other nominees get banned. We should raise the standards and allow only the best trolls to keep trolling.

1. BADecker - Logic and arguments give way to magic and false conclusions when he is losing.
2. TECSHARE - Been stalking me for four years since his opinions became irrelevant by default.
3. Notbatman - Trying to create the longest thread by constantly lying about reality.

I won't go digging years back, just mentioning current ones:

notbatman the nazi flat-earther
r0ach/realr0ach the nazi (seems like a pattern) metalist

Sorry guys, I can only accept your first two entries due to strict enforcement of the arbitrary rules I set up in the OP, even if I agree with all of them being enormous trolls. I've updated the confirmed nominee list, and these are the other nominees which are currently shy of the 2 vote point minimum:

rebal15 1.5
alevlaslo 1.5
JorgeStolfi 1
digaran 1
King Scorpio 1
notbatman 1
Quickseller 1
Anonymint 1
B1tUnl0ck3r 1
Phinnaeus Gage 1

This is fun, it feels like a raffle or one of micgoossens prediction games, but unfortunately the only prize to be won is shame.

I nominate Bruno - YuTü.Co.in aka Phinnaeus Gage aka Gleb Gamow.

He trolls the trolls and is good at it. It is actually funny to watch and not detrimental to the forum.

The others that troll the trolls well are BobLawblaw and Tman.

When it comes to advanced level negative trolling some of the Russian trolls are expert at that. Usually it results in an eventual ban.

I nominate this twat....mentioned in my post here (it's the op of linked thread)
Everytime  he pollutes or creates a thread with his wall of text lunacy, he more often than not, obsesses over something I won't mention.
Not sure if he has mental health issues. (or is something that I won't mention.... again)

I'm going to nominate Quickseller just because no one else has yet.
I'm also going to nominate Anonymint/iamnotback/anunymint/Shelby_Moore_III etc, etc, etc. Although, he is obviously intelligent, sometimes his posts are a bit hard to follow and required much research on my part just to understand where he is coming from. Someone who keeps coming back after being banned has to be a troll. (He now has other members communicate for him on his behalf when he is moved to say something.)

No point in nominating Roach: he's already sure to make it into the list. Gembitz is a nuisance, but rising to real trolling seems to be too far above his head. Long gone members (NLC, Stolfi, etc.) also make no sense as nominations. Proudhon is still active, but his recent, infrequent posts border on autoirony. This would disqualify him as a troll at present.

Therefore, I nominate alevlaslo and jonoiv. Each in his own way, they have that kind of obtuse single-mindedness that elevates a nuisance to troll material.

The-One-Above-All (most likely cryptohunter’s alt)


https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/the-one-above-all-2580400


This has been confirmed by Theymos here


Note that olcaytu2005 is banned on his request.


There are aspects of the trust system that are clearly less than ideal, some of which are probably solvable (and some probably not). But caucusing with people who have very clear and serious questionable behavior isn't going to help you convince people of anything. Anduck had a good case for the trust system being broken. You (cryptohunter) might've had some case for the trust system being broken if you had handled your initial trust issues with rationality and patience instead of absolutely losing your mind and throwing lies around, and even now I could imagine your red trust eventually being cleared if you were able to attain a stable mindset. olcaytu2005 on the other hand hasn't even attempted to defend himself against the accusations (from several independent widely-trusted members, based on publicly-available data) of knowingly assisting scams, so he does not have a good case for the trust system being broken.

I don't know if you can take that as 100% confirmation. He might have just been stating the blatantly obvious (like most of us can see).

I think Stolfi genuinely believed all the crap he used to spew. I don’t think that he thought he was a troll if you know what I mean.

Indeed. Which makes him a five bedroom, fur lined, twin turbocharged uber troll to the rest of us.

The most compelling villains in the movies are always convinced they're doing the right thing.

I remember Adam always offering to give him BTC which he always refused. The most bizarre of all is that he's still there on Reddit plugging away as dedicated as ever despite the relentless mushrooming of Bitcoin. The amount of time he's put in means he could've been a millionaire using that time to mine with a pencil and paper.

He must have put in thousands, or tens of thousands of hours in by now.

Sad state of affairs really, mate. Imagine spending all that time & dedication on something you’re not passionate about. It’d be like me on a train spotting forum telling them how pointless it is.

Well that's what makes them trolls. Imagine someone going to a Lamborghini forum and then just shitting on Lambos constantly. I think the people who come here even to troll about bitcoin are probably fans or are at least interested or invested in the subject in some capacity. In NLCs case I used to think he was either a person who had made a lot of money from bitcoin and could afford to just sit back and troll about it all day or the opposite and he'd either lost a lot of money or cashed out at the wrong time and that hundred thousand or so he cashed out was now worth millions and that pushed him over the edge.

Sad state of affairs really, mate.

Maybe discovering BTC, realising he hated it and deciding to tell us over and over and over again turned his life around. Perhaps it turned him into a tiger in the bedroom and a warrior in the classroom.

All the same I'd prefer it if Theymos had allocated him his own forum with bots to agree with him.

Something tells me we'll never get trolls from that era quite that deranged in future. I think many back then truly believed they could talk Bitcoin into its demise. Even the most deluded can't convince themselves of that any more.

2017's bubble pop attracted nothing like the same amount of mindless doom 2013's did.

They'll be back, but don't tempt them. Bitcoin is probably going to be going up and down for the foreseeable future and if we get a huge crash again the fear-mongers will return but we've been through these cycles several times over the years and rode the waves of trolls that came with them.

I'd suggest Game-protect too, but I really don't think he's a troll so that would be a hard NO from me.

I guess the people he effects consider him a troll, but I'd say harassment is just part of his business model as I previously addressed.

I do have another suggestion though, he isn't that active anymore, but every topic I've seen from him just screamed 'troll'.

RawDog:

Yeah, he's a troll. That RawDog guy was like some anti-bitcoiner youtuber but I don't think that's his actual account and someone created it just to troll with.

1. BADecker religious troll in P&S. Living in fantasy world, however I have never seen him cursing on anyone because he actually believes he's saving soul and doing God's work.
I don't really thinl that this guy is a troll, it's just that his way of hinking is beyond the normal ones, he's an alien that hides with a human flesh and be considered as morethan of a troll.

Aliens are capable of learning human languages, that's the reason why we are able to talk to him but his mind and thinking are way off the earth so arguing with him will bring you a miserable life 😂

Oh yeah, RawDog was a sociopath!

Yes, I agree, an excellent addition that I had completely forgotten about. His greatest thread was one complaining about the first private key "directory," directory.io. The name of the thread was "This asshole published my private key!"

Nominee list updated.

BTC + Crossfit, living life.
F*** I see r0ach as one of the biggest trolls as well, though I wouldn’t mind all the trolls to be gone BUT (don’t shoot me i’m f***ed up on rosé wine as we speak) I like r0ach to stay as the house troll of the WO I hope him to keep posting all the way UP etc............ and sometimes I do enjoy he’s outreageous posts Roll Eyes
One thing r0ach must change = he’s always same opening line on Some Posts (valueless tracking desingend govt token or something Roll Eyes ) but still many opinions on RL issue and woman etc sometimes make me laugh out loud .....

Maybe my to nomine’s and that F***ing gembitz are real trolls that bring nothing else as nonsense ....

I vote for digaran, strange that nobody haven't mentioned him. It was actually fun read his posts and miss him a bit. Lot of current trolls like cryptohunter, game-protect are just so annoying.
It's difficult to select second nominee, because there was/is so many trolls that I can't remember all of them, especially these who are inactive now or used new accounts to troll.
Probably I have to select someone from P&S section - there are quite many crazy people. But it's hard to understand who is trolling and who is just dumb. So, I select KingScorpio.
