protip: guy threatening to jump off the bridge and slowing down your commute? just throw pennies at him. not the nickels and dimes or quarters. you need those for turnpikes, so hodl on to those.

if it's not a bother this would be cool because it would mean that buttcoin is a better journalistic outfit re: bitcoins than literally everybody else

Fuck the cowboys. Unf. Fuck em hard.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Andreas_Antonopoulos
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andreas Antonopoulos

The result was No consensus. This AfD debate is, as observed below, a disaster. There are lots of SPAs participating (on both the delete and keep sides) with ridiculous arguments '"this is good for Bitcoin"). The sources in the article are insufficient to establish notability. However, several editors in good standing claim that such sources exist and I would suggest to them that they should add those as soon as possible. I close as no consensus, because there are also well-argued delete !votes from established editors. I have ignored all of the SPA !votes and the opinions not based in policy. If better sources are not added within a reasonable amount of time (say, 1 month), no prejudice to opening another AfD at that time. Randykitty (talk) 11:29, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

lmao, gmaxwell is also a wikipedia admin
he posted some gold in the antonpopulous afd debate:

Gmaxwell posted:

Delete I'm one of the developers of the Bitcoin reference software (and a long time Wikipedia editor) and probably wouldn't know who this person was outside of using reddit; the result of the relative obscurity is that the Wikipedia article is pretty much guaranteed to be inaccurate and misleading. For example, the article falsely claims that the subject served on the board of the Bitcoin Foundation (he never has), it also falsely claims that he contributed to several software projects (bitaddress, ethereum, etc.) which he has not. etc.


quote:

It seems to me that, barring some strange circumstance, this article is going to be kept due to lack of consensus. I think I've added about eight sources, including places like the NY Times, just in the past hours. Deletionists can possibly argue that bitcoin isn't an important area, but it's difficult to state that Antonopolous is un-notable in bitcoins because there are articles all over about him. If bitcoin is important, then Antonopolous is important, and if bitcoin is "marginal," then Antonopolous is as well. Quintin3265 (talk) 01:04, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Yes, you've littered the article with "sources" which aren't even about the subject of the article. :( And along the way there is _still_ a bunch of misinformation (with helpful 'sources' which are themselves incorrect or misapplied, giving a whole air of truthyness to the misinformation), even after I specifically pointed it out. I don't mean it as an insult, but this is actually a perfect example of the kind of subject matter that wikipedia is not structurally equipted to handle, and exactly why there is a bar for inclusion. --Gmaxwell (talk) 01:21, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

If you perceive problems with the facts, then why not change them yourself? I tried to follow the sources as closely as possible, but if you see something that is wrong, then you should correct it. There are still issues that need to be fixed with it, but I have to manage my mining pool and I'm not supposed to be a one-man editing team. Look at the article as it read at this time yesterday and see the progress. Something in the article being wrong isn't a reason for deleting it; multiple editors exist to correct each other's mistakes. It seems to me that it would be a better use of time simply correcting the mistakes than pointing them out to people here. Quintin3265 (talk) 03:05, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

I just went to my grandmas funeral and she's Mormon so they put her coffin within a giant gold coffin.

but my dad is orthodox Christian so after everyone left and before they closed the gold coffin and lowered it he sprinkled dirt on it. I thought it was kinda disrespectful. and at every opportunity he did that cross thing whee you tap your forehead, then abdomen and shoulders, which they don't do in Mormonism.

I hope you like my post
