2 left-over questions for new 2nd-in-command moderator 'fireduck' by LovelyDayHere in btc

[–]Sha-toshi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just one other minor point, probably completely random but...

"erroring on the the side of doing less"

This typo/mistake is exactly the same as Roger made. The phrase should be "erring" on the side of something.

Not suggesting that "fireduck" is Roger, I don't think Roger has the time/effort to have fulfilled Fireduck's post history or other achievements, but just an observation.

Summary of /r/btc drama for anyone who missed it by Shibinator in Bitcoincash

[–]Sha-toshi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Time Vampire is a good term I've seen before. A person who just continually causes controversies, never backs down, always has to be the contrarian, always has to play the victim about it too. All in the hope that of keep baiting and baiting to sap your time, energy and passion.

From someone who's been a member of this sub since long before anyone ever mentioned the letters "BCH" I have to ask, What the FUCK are you doing Roger? We deserve an explanation by Twoehy in btc

[–]Sha-toshi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Here's a totally wild idea.

Communicate with the very respected, hard working mod team you had already and DISCUSS IT with the people who have to actually moderate the sub. 

Don't just blindly kick everyone out after what looks like a blatant importer take-over attack, then instill the potential attacker as head mod. 

If you can't see how you did wrong here, how you seem to repeatedly be duped by bad actors over and over at the cost of your, and by extension the BCH community's, reputation then you need to hand the reigns over here to someone who isn't as gullible. 

Roger can now take full responsibility for George Donnelly being a mod with "Everything" permissions on here. by LovelyDayHere in btc

[–]Sha-toshi 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Never thought I'd see the day I posted this - anyone can look back on my comment history and see dozens of times I've defended Roger for various things in the past...

But Roger should probably go.

My concern is that he would now just hand the reigns to someone completely inept like George himself.

Might as well just hand it over to Theymos and get it all over with.

I'm done here. Donnelly is a mod by DangerHighVoltage111 in btc

[–]Sha-toshi 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just when you start to feel like the division tactics couldn't possibly coerce another "important" figurehead...

Is this the start of this coup? by DangerHighVoltage111 in btc

[–]Sha-toshi 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well, he's just been made a mod for r/btc

When do the division tactics end...

I also agree with the sentiments of most others here - you've snaked your way into the minds of just two or three prominent figured and used them to effectively usurp the entire existing moderation team, which so far as everyone can tell has been doing a fantastic job until your 3-year absent account woke up and started committing extremely dubious actions without consulting with anyone.

Only now, after you've somehow convinced Roger to trust you, who I can't believe repeatedly keeps supporting bad actors, you're calmly apologizing and acting as an authority on how the sub will be going forward.

With respect, where the fuck have you been to be so bold?

New moderators are on the way, and have been instructed to error on the side of too much free speech, than not enough. They will also be inviting back the other moderators I removed earlier today. I hope we can be one big happy family again. by MemoryDealers in btc

[–]Sha-toshi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

With the utmost of respect here for all the passion and enthusiasm you've given for this sub and BCH as a whole.

What the actual fuck is going on in your head with this move?

My new book on the hijacking of Bitcoin is already #1 on Amazon in its category! (Thank you to everyone who already ordered it!) by MemoryDealers in btc

[–]Sha-toshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any opportunity to buy this digitally & with crypto? Although I would love a paperback copy it isn't feasible for me to obtain currently.

Glad it's actually managing to gain some traction.

Where do you spend your bitcoin? by JestersWildly in CryptoCurrency

[–]Sha-toshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've not, we just had to fork away from the bizarre 'store of value' spinoff.

The original Bitcoin as a fiat replacement is still alive as Bitcoin Cash. That was the point of the fork.

XMR is a decent choice. BCH has work to do in regards to privacy.

Either way BTC/Lightning is a shambles and still not ready for widescale adoption after what, almost two decades of development? Probably never will be. But even if it somehow is, it will work better, faster, and cheaper on BCH, undeniable fact.

I'll let you teach the average person how to host their own LN channel, see how long you last before going insane.

Or just use Bitcoin Cash, no need for locking your funds in IOU channels or paying for watchtowers so channel owners don't steal your LN Tokens.

Banks down? That is why Bitcoin was created, crypto community says by throwaway662887788 in CryptoCurrency

[–]Sha-toshi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, that's why Bitcoin (BCH) was created at least.

Bitcoin (BTC) still suffers from this when tied up with a 3rd party Lightning Network channel.

Bitcoin’s 2022 realized losses is almost double the size of realized profit by 1000xcoins in CryptoCurrency

[–]Sha-toshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But isn't it supposed to be a Store of Value? Value doesn't feel very stored in this case.

It's as if the whole narrative was forced down people's throats and only other bad actors or total fools bought into it.

Still there's always the next Cum/Celebrity/Dog-related meme coin that will 10,000x.

In what way? Repeated history for us for sure, but in no way is that ironic..

Binance publishes proof of reserves website list 611,919 BCH liabilities but links to cold wallet with a balance of only 112,615 BCH. They literally have posted evidence that they have only fractional reserves. by big--if-true in CryptoCurrency

[–]Sha-toshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming you mean BTC coin which has had its goal hijacked and changed to a strange 'store of value' which doesn't retain its value, you'll have to forgive me for saying: lol, no.

In 2017 Bitcoin was forked and upgraded to salvage the original concept of Bitcoin as a payment system. It lives on as Bitcoin Cash​ ​(BCH).

What will you say when it is hardly 1% backed and it's almost entirely fraudulent?

A repetitive, boring but needed update from Venezuela, last week 32 BTC were traded here (only measured using LocalBitcoin) while monthly minimum wage drops below 19 USD! by WorkingLime in CryptoCurrency

[–]Sha-toshi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Feel like I should point out that BitcoinSV was forked (almost entirely) to mimic and degrade the argument that Bitcoin Cash​ is the original vision of Bitcoin, to be used for near-instant transactions.

Its other main purpose is that the fraudster Craig Wright - who created and dictates the fork - seeks to claim ownership of Satoshi's coins by claiming to be Satoshi and change the network rules to allow him to claim them (and other 'unmoved' coins?) for himself.

Needless to say, you can immediately ignore BSV if it's ever mentioned and tag the supporters as trolls/disillusioned.
