Good summary of BTC-e Tok. It's certainly an institution (of sorts).
I spent quite a bit of time on the BTC-e troll box in the early part of this year and, in fact, found my way to Darkcoin because of the negative comments about it on there. They often refer to it as DORK. It's truly a fascinating study in human nature to spend time on there and witness the blatant lack of balance and the never ending mis-information that's thrown around (peppered with ad nauseum "arise chikun" and "to da moon" posts....mournfully imbecilic doesn't come close to describing it). It's like the BTC-e troll box is representative of all the issues, anomolies and flaws of crypto in general and you can find dozens of Shojayxt's on there....it's quality central (not!) but it's certainly educational to go on there for a bit.
That was a pretty good summary,
I met Shojayxt on the Polo Trollbox, promoting XC & XMR and fudding DRK 24/7...
His mates Pookielax and Lifeing covered the shift 24/7 and ensured there was always someone online to steer people away from DRK. It definitely was my first experience of a co-ordinated team to steer n00bs in a particular direction...
TrollBoxes certainly are a baptism of fire and you wisen up pretty fast to the sophisticated techniques used to influence people.
I came to the conclusion that if you hear some advice on an exchange chat box, do the opposite...
It is called a trollbox for a reason.
For the record, I have no affiliation with Pookielax and Lifeing. It's possible that we were all in agreement in the trollbox but that's the extent of my involvement with either of those two characters.
Also, I never promoted XC at all. I've never been invested in XC for any significant amount. I managed to ride one of the early pumps and make some BTC but that's about it. I've never promoted or posted anything regarding XC.
As for XMR, I was an early supporter basically due to the fact that I was mining the coin when nobody else was even looking at the archaic command line interface coin called bitmonero. I had EC2 instances mining that shit the first week. I mined tens of thousands. Because it was an entirely new protocol using Ring Signatures I knew it would pay off and boy did it ever. I'm still holding some XMR and will continue to do so. As far as cryptonote coins go, I do hold a significant amount of BBR. I also mined that in the beginning but not at the level that I did XMR. I purchased the majority of my BBR with BTC made from the selling of XMR. My reason for reducing my XMR holdings were due to the arrival of a self appointed king that actually lives in a castle and started dictating the way forward for XMR. Unfortunately his money and arrogance have done more harm to XMR than good.
I write this only so that you and others can have a better understanding of who I am and why I do the things I do. It's not much and it's not required but since I apparently elicit anger, frustration, resentment, hatred, and annoyance in so many people, I feel somewhat obligated to provide some of my background. I'm really not the villain some try and make me out to be. Like I stated, I allowed personal conflicts with a few individuals to spill over into attacks on Darkcoin. You were one of those people. Now you can continue to attack me if you want. It's up to you.
My focus now is on Darkcoin and doing what I can to support it. If you're still worrying about me you're wasting your time.
Anyway, for now I'll just sit back, run my masternodes, and buy some more DRK while it's cheap.
