I hear he gets facial reconstructive surgery every 4-5 years so that nobody knows what he looks like

Waiting for Dark



... Taaki, meanwhile, took a more wayward path. He tried a career as a videogame programmer but left his job amid infighting among the open source developers. Disillusioned with programming, he wandered Europe and the Middle East for years, living off his winnings as an online poker player. He slept in squats, jumped turnstiles, and learned Esperanto. As gambling started to feel rote and mechanical, he began to imagine programming his own poker site based on open source code, exposing the cryptographic algorithms so that the games would be provably fair. As he explored ways to handle payments on the site, a mathematician friend sent him Satoshi Nakamoto’s bitcoin white paper, which in late 2010 still seemed like a theoretical moonshot. After several days of reading bitcoin forums, “suddenly everything connected and it was like, oh wow, fuck, a big fire in my head,” he says... continued

It's a good read: http://www.wired.com/2014/07/inside-dark-wallet/

lol @ esperanto

wtf genjix? jesus christ i guess he was kind of obssessed more with blind ideals than becoming successful and wealthy. I honestly dont think steal city wouldve signed up for this and would probably guess they had a falling out somewhere in the middle of their venture. I feel sad reading the article coz genjix was a normal internet teenager before going down this rabbit hole.

he was already showing signs of being some sort of rebel from my few chats with him online. especially when the topic was about cryptography and decentralization.

thru cryptography, trust based systems can be replaced by code based systems. which i think is awesome.

i hope not. it's potentially worth a lot of money.

not gonna talk about this guy... but I have met him and he have partied with me and my good friend (Steal City) .. and I'll just say that there is some bs in that text

on the other hand

Hi genjix wasup

im more concerned with the company he keeps in that article. that 3d printed gun guy just talks like he is a ton of bad news. ive seen the vice docu on him and he's really kinda creepy

How is there a lot of money in it if everything is open source and they are giving it away to anyone? Donations lol?

I always thought genjix must have stacked thousands of coins and then got rich the month they shot from 10 apiece to 1,000 apiece

But I guess not?

I agree with what they are doing though and I'm sure their group has the talent to make some money if they want. Sounds like that Wilson guy already has.

in order of recency, sort-of.

fwiw, I think it's easy to take the "man these people are crazy anarchists" route and ignore them. they're certainly in opposition to the new "mainstream" of bitcoin users being created, but it's impossible for what they're working on (darkwallet, darkmarkets) to not be relevant in the coming decades or whatever. blockchain tech is here to stay.

interesting times.

I think he really needs to work on his public speaking if he wants to be the face of this movement. Way too many "ums" and "likes" for me to take him seriously. His logic is sound but his way of presenting the information just makes it hard for me to want to learn more though I can't doubt his passion.
