"minor" bitcoin edits

Hello. You recently removed some reference citations from the bitcoin article and marked the edits "minor." These citations supported the text and you've given no reason for removing them. Another editor then stated on talk that, post removal, the text was unsourced. Also this should not have been marked as a minor edit. I have replaced the references. Thanks.

Digital currency and safety

You are removing information from the Digital currency page. Specifically, you removed the safety section with [1] this edit. I've restored that section, as per the talk page. Please don't remove large chunks of information like that without discussing it first. Particularly, as it isn't spam. If you have a problem with that section, use the talk page to explain it. **** you, you ******* ****. (talk) 23:30, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

David Chaum

Aloha. I'm a little late to the party, but I noticed you recently nominated David Chaum for deletion and removed a lot of material from the article. May I ask what compelled you to do this? The material you removed appears to be solid and easy to source, and Chaum is a highly notable person in his field. The reason I'm asking is because I would like to understand where you are coming from and see if we can both get on the same page. No hurry on a reply, take your time. Viriditas (talk) 04:37, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Agreed. As one example, you removed a sentence stating he invented blind signatures. You justified the deletion under original research. The sentence linked to the article about blind signatures, where the first line states it was invented by David Chaum with a citation. Instead of deleting obviously correct statements, it would be more useful to copy the relevant citation back to the Chaum article. 134.117.225.80 (talk) 18:38, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Bitcoin intro

Hi there. There's a problem with this text in the article about bitcoin: "Similar to other currencies, illicit drug and gambling transactions constitute some of its commercial usage." As is, this seems to imply the most noticeable usage of such currency is illegal actions, and the first part "similar to other currencies" seems to be begging the user to pardon this fact, since other currencies have the problem as well.

The way I had edited it, I wanted to emphasize the other ways Bitcoin's currently being used so as to leave a more balanced image to readers: 24/365 international transfers, tax-refuge, avoiding the government taking your money, etc. Sorry for omiting the references, I planned to continue editing the article on this week - besides a lot of journalistic articles on Bitcoin mention these other usages.

Reverting bitcoin page canges, as it was misunderstood as a promotion material

Hi Kyle, XBT is newly proposed ISO standard currency symbol for bitcoin; actually, it is quite a bit old. This will be used in exchanges and other official documents. This currency unit is too fine to be used in day to day usage (1000 XBT = 13 cents). My reference link may not be appropriate, and that change.org petition was not created by me. This is no way a self promotion. I will try to provide the best link possible now. I can refer to a tweet from jon matonis of bitcoinfoundation.org. You can consider this as the most authoritative. So, I will go ahead and put that changes back. --V4vijayakumar (talk) 02:56, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Bitcoin infobox

Please don't modify the Bitcoin page infobox without first reading and adding your opinion to Talk:Bitcoin#The infobox

I see you reverted my reversion of your reversion. I won't participate in edit warring. I'll leave the infobox in its degraded state and await your constructive contributions to talk page.Chris Arnesen 20:37, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Curious, are you Kyle_Landas? Also curious, are you at the keys when @Herecomestherooster: types? Seriously, I'd like to understand you and your kind a little better. You see, I've been a long-time Wikipedia reader, and have only recently dipped my toes into editing. It's been an incredibly frustrating experience because I've worked so hard to put my time in on the Talk:Bitcoin page, soliciting feedback and laying out my argument, only to have some random dude or dudette roll back any changes I make to the actual page. So I'm trying to understand who you are, random dude / dudette who feels justified to stand in the way of progress on an article without actually weighing in and making a case on the Talk page. Part of me is jealous of you, because I feel compelled to lay out my case in detail on the talk page, and in the end I don't end up making much actual progress. Part of me wishes I could just make changes and preserve them by edit war without feeling like I'd done something wrong. Anyway, I'd love to better understand your position and motivation. Feel free to email if you'd rather not continue this discussion on your talk page. Regards, Chris Arnesen 05:40, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Bitcoin infobox

There is an ongoing discussion about the Bitcoin infobox here. Please read and participate instead of continuing the edit war. --Laser brain (talk) 20:24, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
