It seems fairly likely that Stolfi went to a place in which he would receive a better reception to his various absurd and insincere arguments.. And from the start, he did credibly indicate that he was participating in this wall observer thread because he perceived this thread to have a decent following and with an ability to get his message out there in a broad way... and so in that regard, it seems that he may have concluded that he gets his baloney message out there in a more effective and broader way by posting in other locations (outside of this particular thread).

I could give a ratt's ass about the various disgruntled comments regarding either my style or content.

Further, if you had been paying any kind of attention Torque (even in a minuscule way), you would likely have noticed that Stolfi and I are quite different substantively in our viewpoints regarding bitcoin and our approach to investing in it (or not, supposedly, in the case of Stolfi).  So, if you, or anyone else are getting caught up in style and/or length of post, and believe that those factors indicate any material substance, then you (and those like minded superficial posters) are a bunch of fucking loonies.      


Regarding the activism of Stolfi, he does seem to continue to be fairly active in a variety of bitcoin forums, and surely, he still participates here from time to time and on a seemingly sporadic basis.  Recently, I also heard him being interviewed on Bitcoin Uncensored.  Personally, I think that they gave him too much benefit of the doubt in terms of his "genuine" analysis of bitcoin, because really he seems like a disingenuous sophisticated troll to me, but that is fine, his bitcoin uncensored interview was still informative in terms of covering a variety of current and ongoing bitcoin matters.

Edit:  Regarding Stolfi, I see that Elwar beat me to it, and provided a decent substantive post regarding such a matter.  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16392254

There's virtually no USD involved with Poloniex. It's not really any more valid than chucking a Chinese exchange in there.

If not considering the volume taking place on chinese exchanges today Poloniex is the leading exchange (USD).

But Bitcoin is dead, who cares?

Run Bitcoin Run!

I do wonder about these megatrolls. What an astonishing waste of life it is to write and agitate about something you hate. It's not going to change anything and you're throwing your precious life away while doing it.

Ah, Stolfi. Thing about him was, he was totally sincere. Can't even remember what his arguments were really, but he really believed them.

Stolfi is a celeb now. He even has his own following, most of whom don't even know they're being trolled.

Stolfi is living on r/Buttcoin now and has done an interview: https://soundcloud.com/bitcoinuncensored/buttcoin-vs-bitcoin-with-jorge-stolfi-of-rbuttcoin-king-of-the-butters

You mean like Stolfi?  Maybe JJG and Stolfi are one and the same?  (JJG, if you are not Stolfi, then dude - just take a hint and get to the point faster, quit rambling, and drop the condescending attitude.   )

Speaking of which, where has ol' JorgyPorgy run off too?  I really miss his long-winded, diatribe-like, innane ramblings about how Bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies are completely doomed to fail. /S Paid trolls are so much fun to spot, because they are so obvious.

that's really funny

kudos

is bathsaltwater the only "traditional" NLC account left in here?

I gave up long time ago with most of his "blocks of text." ... The guy is just insane, pure batsh!t crazy! ... I wish sometimes he had a bit of empathy to make his text more readable from the readers perspective. I can tell... because I write as a hobby and when reading other people's work... I tend to get inside their mind very quickly and that annoys me. And when it comes to JJG ... he writes most of his stuff from a self centered perspective. And that makes it hard to read... its like trying to listen to a song/track with/composed of blackboard/chalkboard screechings.

Hoping for the price to increase quick in oktober I think the prices will be going up by quite a lot looking at the past.
Staying around this grey area of 600 for a while now and no Idea where the next jump will be to.

I wasn't sure there for a while but he won my heart with steadfast determination and a ruthless penchant for mesmerising blocks of text.

The JJG character is a real tour de force for NLC/BMB.

The dedication is very impressive.

Going to lose some mountaineers on the arduous climb to 1000, but the sweeter the victory will be for those who persevere.

You come up with interesting synopsis of what you deem to be relevant facts in order to support your weak ass conclusions suggesting that bitcoin is supposedly in some kind of an emergency and needs some kind of blocksize limit increase...   it would be funny if it were not so lame, misleading and erroneous.    




This poster who goes by the username "Andre#" will unlikely be happy no matter what happens... He appears to selectively chose facts and to complain about a problem that does not exist as if the problem actually did exist.

The core meeting notes from 9/22/16 (contained in the last link) show apparent progress, no?  

In essence, Seg wit is getting closer and closer to going live, and apparently version 0.13.0 went live on 8/23/16, and seg wit support is likely going to be contained within version 0.13.1

Diff seems to be increasing in quite big steps.
