Elad Cohen RIPE mailing list fun
As it is relatively quiet on LowEndTalk, I can recommend the RIPE membership discuss mailing list for entertainment, this Elad Cohen is pure fun.
Unfortunately, the mailing list is not publicly available, so only RIPE members have access to it. But I think there are serveral RIPE members here on LET.
I have never seen it happen like this on the RIPE mailing list. It definitely made my weekend more enjoyable. What do you think? Is Elad Cohen an entrepreneur, does he want attention, or is he crazy?

Are you ingesting some sort of psychotropics? What kind? What dose?

I had to mute the list, it was too annoying because of this spam.
Oh damn, this is great. The multiple "unsubscribe" / "unsubscribing" threads too. On that note:
Where to invest in IPv4+ address? Is like bitcoin?
seems like no providers on LET support IPv4+. very low quality. anyone know some low-cost provider with good IPv4+ support? I need IPv4+ for sneaker bot mining. on the sneaker bot blockchain.
Edit: looking forward to the DDoS solution that he said he would post today.
Threads regarding that person and this IP heist has traversed across APNIC, ARIN, and RIPE mailing lists.
TLDR; for others: https://extensia-ltd.com/2019/09/02/the-big-south-african-ip-address-heist-how-millions-are-made-on-the-grey-market/
I'm waiting for IPv6+
Lol yea Elad's musings and rants has been popcorn worthy almost X)
Looks like he is more of a ... shady person based on some background investigation they had on him, and this is some sort of election campaigning. For certainly i would have not known his name before these posts -- now i do, and will be sure NOT to cast my vote to his direction.
lol he actually promised that?
He must be on "something" to be that easy to manipulate. I'm sure whoever posted that on the mailing list made it as a joke
EDIT Just catched up, got a few good laughs out of it X) Shame the mailing list does not come with popcorn included, you need to supply your own popcorn
Everytime someone says they're "investing" in bitcoin I am irritated.
You can't "invest" in bitcoin. It's like saying you're investing in Euros or the Japanese Yen.
His proposal makes more sense than waiting for everyone to go to IPV6...
Has he posted his nonsense DDoS solution yet?
He reminds me a lot of stophaus, just many years too late.
Not yet, unfortunately. Apparently he doesn't post anymore to the mailing list
Please don't spread this lies. He said on the mailing list several times that Spamhaus is spreading lies about him:
He made his proposed DDoS solution
Only needs him elected to guarantee every single even EOL BGP router gets software upgrades and doubling of all bandwidth and cryptography with presumably no cost to the operator 
Fellas, get your popcorn!
Had a quick read through it. The guy is either 12, high as fuck or both.
Just a reminder that Elad Cohen has been hijacking a /14 for a long time and he's generally an incredibly shady person.
"This list showed to you that anyone related to IPv6 will resist IPv4+ , an idea can implement changes that will hurt people enjoying from the current state (such as IPv6 deployers)."
IPv6 deployers are bad, it cuts into Cohen's profits of making money off hijacked IP space.
It's worth reading the nanog archives too. For example this thread.
what.
He seems crazy.
But... that's just displaying four bytes in a different format. It doesn't give you extra IPs 🤔
That ends up being completely irrelevant as he just goes on to say that a reserved bit in the header could be used to specify if it's an "old" IPv4 or a "new" IPv4+.
Except you have a whole heap of new routes to add to the already massive routing tables?
And he doesn't explain how this would have any advantages over IPv6...
Also he says that IPv6 is bad because it's not backwards compatible (https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/members-discuss/2020-April/003706.html), yet he wants to introduce some new IPv4 protocol that's not compatible with today's current IPv4. Big brain thinking.
Uh, that's a thing. You're entitled to be irritated for any reason, you'd also be wrong.
Claims to want to improve spam filtering and just sent his nonsense to every person in the RIPE DB. He's really doubling down on his dumb ideas.
On the one hand sending out loads of spam might actually get him elected - I'm sure most members cba voting and his nudge might do it. On the other hand, anyone googling his name for years to come is going to see some shady stuff hahaha
But muh Rent-seeking.
Make IPv4 great again.
He is whining about Spamhaus via a spam email. What an idiot. Gladly reported as spam.
A few people were way ahead of you,
https://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/query/SBL485326
https://www.spamhaus.org/query/domain/netstyle.io
I don't know, I think we should hear him out.
This was a great read: http://ipv4.plus/
Needs more coconut though, an actual coconut would be prem.
"Welcome to Netstyle Support Center. My name is Elad. I will be assisting today."
Do you know how expensive coconuts are? The lower-budget films use actual horses instead instead of 2 halves of a coconut to produce such a sound.
I've heard they need at least two swallows to carry a single coconut.
He even translates his spam now. I received a mail in German from [email protected] =D>
Aswell received spam from this email.
Also in combination what he is saying about Spamhaus makes him look very sketchy to me now
Enjoyed reading it so much the first time I set myself a Siri reminder to read it again tomorrow.
We have received an email from this individual.
While I have zero sympathy for Spamhaus and other wannabe whiteknights I had a good laugh at the rants of that guy. He's actually achieving the opposite of the sought goal.
If he had done his homework he would have had much more reliable arguments against that organization. It is not that difficult anymore to demonstrate their shenanigans.
in the words of Elan, it makes sense he is the only person who offered to fight with a spam house so why people don't want to support him?
