Notability not established. Amir Taaki was one of the few bitcoiners willing to give interviews when Bitcoin was new and exciting, that does not make him notable. Wired frequently writes about niche topics, an article in wired is not a proof of notability. Blogs on Forbes are not actually written by Forbes staff, so they do not indicate notability. SourceForge can not be cited. Conference videos on YouTube can not be cited. Ysangkok (talk) 02:03, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment the article is badly WP:REFBOMBed, the refs need cleaning out first - there's a lot of cruft, and a lot of the RS coverage is actually passing mentions - David Gerard (talk) 11:55, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I don't know about this one... this subject has quite a bit coverage. He was labeled "notorious" in the Bitcoin World by Quartz. See: P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs)
 * media like Quartz will call anybody "notorious" just to have a more exciting article. Why not look at actual amount of reliable coverage instead of simply trusting some random source when it calls somebody "notorious"? --Ysangkok (talk) 18:01, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Please see: . Also your claims about Wired being non-reliable are incorrect, although it is an industry source: WP:RSPSOURCES. Also multiple articles from Wired solidfies the subject's notablity. I disagree. Best,P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 18:11, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
