Start listening at around :14 mins if you want to hear the part about censorship and theymos

Vitalik Buterin of Ethereum said much the same thing regarding Bitcoin at the recent London Meetup. It was hardly a veiled remark.

Theymos fucking off or getting ousted will be a big relief like when gox went bust

I hear this name Theymos a few times. Other than he's the moderator of /r/bitcoin, how big is he in the bitcoin space in terms of # of bitcoins held, etc.

[–]coinaday 13ポイント14ポイント  (6子コメント)

He also operates bitcointalk.org. And bitcoin.comorg iirc?

He's not significant as a hodler, or a developer, or as anything else. His significance is that he's sitting on top of the most important sites for Bitcoin and is using them to strangle progress on the block size.

[–]DIGITAL-not-Virtual 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Not bitcoin.com (which came later), but bitcoin.org (which is the original Bitcoin site).

Ah, right, I knew something felt off about that! bitcoin.com is Ver. Thanks!

What's in it for him?

[–]coinaday 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I only have speculation. Like most of the people on the "1MB is no problem" side, he quite possibly does actually believe it. He has argued that a "controversial hard fork" is dangerous, which is reasonable, but seems unaware that he's a major factor in making it controversial (resulting in a self-fulfilling prophecy that Bitcoin can't increase its capacity).

One might suspect that perhaps he's additionally financially incentivized by a company which has made a habit out of throwing money at prominent people who support their view that 1MB is A-OK until they decide it isn't, but there is no evidence for that, and it would appear to break Reddit's ToS if so, thus I'm sure that can't be the case.

I'm sure Thermos also holds a very large number of bitcoins. He collected thousands for bitcointalk.org forum software upgrades which never happened.

[–]coinaday 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

My personal guess would be that he's long since dumped most of them, but that's just my speculation based on his character.

[–]bitwork 11ポイント12ポイント  (6子コメント)

He scammed a few million usd off people in the message boards after he took it over.

They weren't worth that much when he scammed them.

[–]frog-believer 1ポイント2ポイント  (3子コメント)

I think he also sits on IRC #bitcoin as "midnightmagic" The handle seems derived from Theymos name IRL.

A regular Goebles this guy.

[–]aquentin 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

That's an interesting claim. I'd be fairly surprised if the two are the same and I think midnightmagic has been doxxed. You're welcomed to expand on your statement though.

[–]approx- 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

No way Theymos would let himself get doxxed. I've talked to him in the past and he might be the most privacy-aware individual I've ever met.

[–]allonething 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Theymos has been doxxed, actually, though I obviously won't link to it here.

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

i can't believe this shit hasn't been worked out yet.

[–]lightrider44 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Fuck theymos.

The thermos of muffled speech!

[–]Fergulati -1ポイント0ポイント  (8子コメント)

We are making a shirt about Theymos. https://twitter.com/thebtcpodcast/status/722785816355844096

[–]coinaday 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

Way to sound like a 12 year old with that text! That's really going to strike the fear of god into him!

You could at least have gone for humor and done something with a thermos.

[–]PettyHoe -3ポイント-2ポイント  (0子コメント)

loosen your tie a bit, man.

[–]SundoshiNakatoto 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

lmfao

[–]ibrightly 3ポイント4ポイント  (4子コメント)

Very few are going to buy/wear a shirt like that. You'd be much better off with an anti-censorship message with a secondary reference to theymos.

[–]PettyHoe 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

You are right, very few will wear that shirt to work. We plan to make other shirts that are "office friendly" that relay the same message.

This, on the other hand, is funny in our opinion, and is a shirt we want to wear ourselves. It also succinctly displays public feeling about theymos, he's a bitch.

[–]Annoying_guest 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yeah I would buy a shirt like that but I want something I can wear to work

[–]shludvigsen2 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Get a t-shirt friendly employer?

[–]overtmind 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

t-shirt

More like unprofessional and profanity friendly

[–]BIGbtc_Integration -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

Theymos is irrelevant. Theymos is irrelevant. Theymos is irrelevant. Who cares about Theymos. All you're doing is validating Theymos when you put his name in the headlines. How about Andreas heading up a competing forum instead of fighting a losing battle. One last time Andreas, Theymos is irrelevant. Roger is on the right track but already has issues with censoring.

[–]sojellyfish 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Seriously. People need to move on. Anyone that doesn't already know about Theymos and r/bitcoin are a lost cause
