Bitcoin Forum

The first 4 posts were deleted quickly after I reported them, but I feel like it's not enough. Considering the recent hype on text-spinning AIs, and considering how easy it is for shitposters to produce massive numbers of posts that take some time to read through to realize it's bogus, I'd like to see them banned quicker. Maybe we can still stop this before it reaches massive volumes.

Just after I reported 4 incoherent offtopic shitposts [...]

Although some have claimed that the record ranchers may mishandle it, it will essentially make things harder for them, therefore we should be grateful for that!
Currently, all I need to do is come up with a few awesome presents to help me reach 150 legitimacy in the next two months, at which point my actions will raise my status. Tongue

Happy about the adjustment, perhaps there won't be as many postings about novices learning about ICOs in a string for a mineable coin with almost no ICO.

It may be abused by the account farmers as said by others, but it will make it harder at least for them and that is a good thing!
Now i just need to come up with some high quality posts to gain 150 merit in the next two months when activity would rank me up :P

Happy for the change, maybe there will be less posts of the type newbie asking about ICO in a thread for a minable coin without any ICO :)

I'd appreciate it if someone could make a plagiarism report (I would do it myself, here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895), but I'm late for something, and have to run).

reach 150 legitimacy in the next two months, at which point my actions will raise my status. Tongue

First offence: 7 days
Second offence: 14 days
Third offence: 30 days
Fourth: Permanent ban

1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. [1][e]

2. No off-topic posts.

If an AI is able to consistently create content that doesn't break any of the forum's rules (good quality, on-topic, not just a padded word salad, no plagiarism, etc, etc), I, for one, welcome our new machine overlords (https://youtu.be/8lcUHQYhPTE). Otherwise, content that violates the rules, AI or human produced, can already be dealt with with our current rules and policies in mind.

I wonder how difficult it really would be to add a captcha requirement for every post. I know some boards have them, sometimes even multiple ones. I don't know if it hurts legitimate posting

When barriers to participation are too high, then the best people often just won't go to the trouble of joining, and the people who are willing to jump through the hoops are often people who aren't good for the community: people with nothing better to do, scammers, get-rick-quickers, etc.

Hard NACK. Sometimes I have a hard enough time just loading in the forum to read it via Tor, captchas, cloudflare, etc., let alone make any posts.

Rather than making things more difficult for real users, we should just try actually enforcing the rules for a change and ban the spammers. It's not a difficult thing to do.

Or do you go the other way but no more temp bans for things like that. Using a word spinner you get the boot and that's it. Too harsh? Not sure.

Seriously, it would be a patch at best to slow it down but other then reporting we have no other option.

IMO it's just a really difficult balance, you want a free and open forum. But you want to control the spammers as much as possible.

Using a word spinner you get the boot and that's it. Too harsh? Not sure.

So...
NotATether, ETFbitcoin, o_e_l_e_o, LoyceV are all against my concept of a captcha.

Let's compromise and do it my way :-)

Word spinning should be an instant perma-ban. I cannot fathom why it isn't.

I believe that the user in question is likely to be an alt account; I can't find any other reason a newbie would make such a large amount of posts in such a short notice.

I wonder how difficult it really would be to add a captcha requirement for every post. I know some boards have them, sometimes even multiple ones. I don't know if it hurts legitimate posting or not, but I don't see as much spam on them vs those that do not. One car board I am on has a quick and simple one like what is 2 + 7 and that is followed by the 'pick the image' one. And there is very little spam. The other is more like here where you can just post and does get a lot more junk posts.

Don't know how much work it would take to put one in.

But, the AI / chat spammers should just get a permanent vacation.

-Dave

Combining those 2, I can think of a legit reason for word spinning: to avoid identification by using forensic linguistics (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1171059.0). But that's not the case in any of the spam-cases we've seen.

CAPTCHA can block fully automated bot which automatically select thread at random, obtain text from AI (such as chatGPT) and then make a reply using that text.

My guess: he's trying to earn that one Merit needed for a Jr. Member signature for bounty spam.

CAPTCHA can block fully automated bot which automatically select thread at random, obtain text from AI (such as chatGPT) and then make a reply using that text. But it's unlikely it'll stop people who copy text manually from website which provide AI service.

Wasn't aware that there are bounty campaigns in the altcoin section have such low requirements.

Perhaps we are looking at it the wrong way. Ban the campaign managers and the projects that hire them if they use people who are using spam bots and give everyone in the campaign a warning that they were working with spammers. After a certain number of warnings you would get a ban. Would that be too harsh?

If you are running a campaign and it becomes blatantly obvious to Staff that you are doing little to nothing to stop spam on your campaign you will be issued a PM warning by a Global Moderator that you need to make immediate improvements to curb low-quality posts. You will have 7 days to remove low-quality posters and respond to the message detailing what you are going to do to make changes to your campaign to reduce the amount of spam. If improvements are not noticeable within 21 days of that and Staff do not believe you are doing enough to prevent low quality posts your signatures will be blacklisted from the forum by an Admin and you will no longer be permitted to advertise here in such a way.

So...
NotATether, ETFbitcoin, o_e_l_e_o, LoyceV are all against my concept of a captcha.

@LoyceV can you check and test this tools I found for detecting AI bots?

Since it can have both false positives as well as false negatives, I don't think it's worth the effort.
Also: what are the odds those "detectors" only use the current AI chat for their own publicity?

If you find more of this, please post them here as examples.

Seriously, I use the altcoin section for a few things and would not be put at all if it went away, so it might be a harsh point of view, but to me it looks like most of the bounty campaigns are a lot crappier then they used to be.

It gives you percentage that shows if some text was potentially generated by AI bot or not.

If one member gets repeated high percentage of AI generated posts I think this member should be banned or temporary banned.

I tried that in another topic. Conclusion: I'm a bot :P Since I'm obviously human, the detection is unreliable.

Based on a third-party tool? I doubt it.

You didn't say what was the percentage showing text was AI generated on all 3 websites...

How do you think we are detecting plagiarized text by other members?
We certainly don't have super powers, and I was always using two website to detect source and PERCENTAGE of plagiarism... it worked well most of the times.

I found another user that looks like a generic chat generator spammer:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3524806;sa=showPosts

Another chat bot spammer?

Running a pruned node has downsides for users.

In the event of a dispute, it can be more difficult to prove the validity of your transactions.

My question to everyone who advocated banning them is, how would you know that the reply is being done using an AI or a topic is created using the help of AI?

I'm thinking about neutral tags for chat bot BS.

Few AI has invisible watermark[1] which can be used to identify whether a post is written with AI or not, although i doubt moderator would bother use tool to detect such invisible watermark.

Perhaps when there is a difference between the paid and free versions, this supposed watermark will appear in the free versions.

So spammers can pay to remove the plagiarism marker? Sounds like a great business model!

EDIT:
Here is one test I did with this post from member Techdev generated by AI (it was later deleted by moderators after my report):
https://ninjastic.space/post/61619530

GPT-2 Output Detector is showing 99.98% that this is AI generated:

https://i.imgur.com/0VHlTqC.jpg

GPTZero is saying that text is most likely to be AI generated:

https://i.imgur.com/xvjZQnS.jpg

Current predictive models more or less generate texts word for word. Simplistically put, at each point there's a list of weighted candidate words, one of which is stochastically chosen (according to some distribution). The weights can be gently adjusted with a "fingerprint", so that the algorithm balances similar words with a statistically detectable frequency (the "fingerprint"). In texts with more than a thousand words, the probability that this would occur randomly is low (depending on how strongly the "fingerprint" was allowed to alter the weights).

GPT-2 has a loophole! You only need a spin writer on the text that has been generated by Chat GPT or any other AI content bot and it will not be able to detect. You might be only finding those members who do not have any knowledge of the English language. Those lazy buggers who know the language but do not want to write on a topic that they think can be posted here cannot be tracked. I would not rely on a free tool to check AI-generated content. There are some paid ones but it is not worth investing in as long as the content makes sense and does not break any rules of the forum.

Prices are per 1,000 tokens. You can think of tokens as pieces of words, where 1,000 tokens is about 750 words. This paragraph is 35 tokens.

OpenAI is already being paid for! It should now reduce a little this type of behavior here in the forum.

Either way, the price isn't too high: $0.0004 / 1K tokens (low cost); $0.0200 / 1K tokens (high cost).


https://openai.com/api/pricing/

Apart from OPEN AI, there are other projects that offer free AI on a trial basis. I do not wish to reveal their names but the trick is to use them for free is just register using a different email address whenever the free period expires. These content writers are also very good and effective. If you think this behavior would get reduced then you are wrong. I say this because of my experience in the teaching profession I know how and through what my students have been submitting assignments.

But these systems have a lower quality level than OpenAI, making it easier to detect text created by AI. Now, of course, it will not eliminate this situation, but the fact that this system is paid now, will at least reduce the most difficult cases to detect.

Yes, free access to ChatGPT will still be provided. By offering this subscription pricing, we will be able to help support free access availability to as many people as possible. See our general ChatGPT article for more information on our free offering.

ChatGPT Plus is a pilot subscription plan for ChatGPT. It offers availability even when demand is high, faster response speed, and priority access to new features.

This is the reason why they have started a subscription plan.


I agree the other AI content writers that are free are not as good as OPEN AI but if you know the trick then you can create content just like a human writer. I have seen many papers submitted to me and I would not say that I was able to catch everyone but I know how things are after these AIs have been released.

I forked someone's ChatGPT cli (which I put at https://github.com/ZenulAbidin/gptchat) about a month ago, and I've been using that to run the Davinci-003 model, and because of that, I can still access it even when ChatGPT is down. I don't know why it's called ChatGPT if it's just using davinci-003 to be honest, but it does magic for me. I've used it to write multiple scripts to parse several different data distributions like tzdata and the CLDR, for example. It can also document programming language classes.

It's not using ChatGPT but speaks a lot similar to it. I can't really tell them apart.

My January bill for my Davinci bot was almost $10 - half the price of ChatGPT Plus. So I think I got a very good bargain by making my own API key and moving past ChatGPT.

Cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, are known for their high volatility and price swings, which can make them a challenging option for businesses. However, there are several benefits to accepting Bitcoin as a payment method, including:

1. Lower transaction fees: Bitcoin transactions often have lower fees compared to traditional payment methods like credit cards.

2. Faster and more secure transactions: Bitcoin transactions are processed almost instantly, and they use strong encryption to ensure the security of funds.

3.Access to a wider customer base: By accepting Bitcoin, you can reach a global audience of people who prefer to use cryptocurrencies.

If you're considering accepting Bitcoin for your business, there are a few initial steps you should take:
1. Research: Before you start accepting Bitcoin, it's important to learn as much as you can about cryptocurrencies, their benefits, and their risks.

2. Choose a reliable wallet and payment processor: To receive payments in Bitcoin, you'll need a cryptocurrency wallet and a payment processor. Do your research to find a reputable and secure option that meets your needs.

3. Consider security: Cryptocurrencies are vulnerable to theft, so it's important to take steps to secure your funds. This might include using multi-signature wallets, keeping most of your funds in cold storage, and regularly backing up your data.

4.Be prepared for price swings: Bitcoin's price can be volatile, so you need to be prepared for short-term price swings. You might consider converting Bitcoin to your local currency as soon as you receive it, to minimize the impact of price swings.

By taking these steps, you can help ensure that accepting Bitcoin is a profitable and secure option for your business.

This question touches on the current political and regulatory landscape surrounding Bitcoin. With the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies, governments and central banks around the world are starting to take notice and consider their stance on this emerging asset class. Some countries are taking a more hands-off approach, while others are implementing regulations and restrictions. The discussion around this topic can lead to interesting perspectives and debates on the future of cryptocurrencies and their interaction with traditional financial systems.

The issue of spam and misinformation on online forums can have a significant impact on the user experience and overall credibility of the platform. In the case of BitcoinTalk.org, it's important to address these issues in order to maintain a safe and productive environment for all users. Here are some steps that can be taken to better address spam and misinformation on the platform:

Implement stricter moderation policies: This can include increased monitoring of posts, removal of spammy or misleading content, and imposition of penalties for repeat offenders.

Use community reporting and flagging: Encourage users to report spam or misinformation when they see it, and have a team of moderators who can quickly review and address these reports.

Use technology-based solutions: Utilize tools and algorithms to identify and remove spam and misinformation automatically. This can include things like spam filters, AI-powered moderation systems, and machine learning algorithms.

Educate users on spotting fake news: Provide resources and tips for users on how to identify and avoid misinformation, such as checking sources and looking for multiple perspectives.

Foster a culture of critical thinking: Encourage users to critically evaluate the information they encounter on the platform and question the sources and motives behind it.

By taking these steps, we can help to reduce the impact of spam and misinformation on BitcoinTalk.org and create a more trustworthy and productive platform for all users.

I am not sure why you copied or worked on a model which does not even exist as written by you " a month ago". BTW, OPEN AI was free before you did that and it is still free but you won't get access to it whenever you want to! I am not sure why you started promoting Davinci-003 (which I have no clue about) as there are many ways to get access to a premium AI content generator. I know such a thing as I am aware of how my students are getting things done.

This looks like another generic AI chatbot spammer: Sandra99 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3533251):

Actually, davinci-003 was launched sometime in late November: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33780720 and I started using this cli in January.

The reason I switched to a model that will charge me bills is because I kept getting gated by Cloudflare's bot captcha, and it was detrimental to my ability to access ChatGPT through a browser.

I haven't been in that position, but I can think it would be difficult. Leaving a higher-paying job might be tough if you've worked hard to get there, but our happiness and health should always come first. Thinking about and weighing the decision's potential long-term consequences is crucial.

Here are some tips to keep in mind before making the switch:

Assess your values and priorities: What do you value most in your career and in your life? Are you prepared to forgo a portion of your financial security for a career that matches with your principles and makes you happier?

Consider the impact on your lifestyle: How will the change affect your income, your bills, and your overall finance?

Research the new opportunity thoroughly: Make sure you have a clear understanding of the job requirements, the company culture, and the earning potential.

Get advice from people you trust: Talk to friends, family, and career counselors to get a different perspective on your decision. Forum like bitcointalk is also a wonderful source

Create a backup plan: If the switch doesn't work out, what will you do? Make sure you have a plan in place in case things don't go as expected.

The choice to switch job is ultimately a personal one, and it is essential to do what is best for you. Whether you decide to continue with the higher-paying job or transition to a field that provides you more satisfaction, be sure you've taken the time to weigh your alternatives and make the best decision for your future.

Typically, it adds as much words or phrases as possible to make the post or message sound longer and better. << See what i did there?

"values and priorities"
"in your career and in your life"
"that matches with your principles and makes you happier"
"your income, your bills, and your overall finance"
"the job requirements, the company culture, and the earning potential"
"Talk to friends, family, and career counselors"
"weigh your alternatives and make the best decision"

How about Legendary slapper (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=300712)? He caught my attention because of the large number of posts he produces (https://loyce.club/active/7d.html) while barely earning any Merit. It looks like chat AI spam to me:

Sometimes it can be difficult to tell if a text was written by a human or an artificial intelligence (AI), especially if the AI in question is well-trained and sophisticated. However, here are some tips that may help you identify if a text was generated by an AI:

Consistency: AI tends to be very consistent in its choice of words, phrases, and sentence structures. If a text seems very uniform and lacking in variation, it may be a sign that it was generated by an AI.

Speed: AI can produce large amounts of text in a short period of time. If a text seems to have been produced in an abnormally short amount of time, it may be an indicator that it was generated by an AI.

Accuracy: AI tends to be very precise and detailed in its descriptions, but may sometimes make errors due to limitations in its training or programming. If a text seems very precise and has no obvious errors, it may be a sign that it was generated by an AI.

Coherence: AI is generally very coherent in its choice of words and ideas. If a text seems to have an unusual coherence or is very well-organized and structured, it may be an indicator that it was generated by an AI.

However, it's important to remember that AI technologies are always evolving and becoming more sophisticated. Some of the most recent and advanced text generation techniques can be very difficult to distinguish from human writing.

<Snip>

You could just google how to detect if a text was written by a bot or something similar. I wanted to see if ChatGPT could recommend some sources to scan if content was written by a bot and it suggested a few sites:

Nowadays i can summerize 4 main cons of polygon

Lack of differentiation: Some people might argue that Polygon doesn't offer enough unique features or benefits compared to other cryptocurrencies or blockchain platforms. They might see it as just another digital currency in a crowded market.

Lack of mainstream adoption: While Polygon has gained a following among the Ethereum community, some critics might argue that it hasn't yet gained enough widespread adoption to justify investing in it. They might argue that it's too risky to invest in a relatively new and unproven technology.

Concerns about decentralization: Some critics might argue that Polygon's reliance on Ethereum as its underlying technology means that it's not truly decentralized. They might argue that there are other blockchain platforms that offer greater levels of decentralization and security.

Technical issues: Like any technology, Polygon is not without its flaws. Some critics might point to technical issues or vulnerabilities in the system as a reason to be cautious about investing in it. They might argue that it's too early to know whether these issues will be resolved or if they will have a long-term impact on the technology's viability.

If you are not afraid of these minds, you can obviously try to invest and make money from it.

My 6th sense tells me that this user - Rarakun (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3537147) is using ChatGPT to generate his content

This is not a financial or investment advice, but a general tips on how to increase your profit if you are a crypto trader. Always make your own research and continue to increase in your knowledge

    Research and Stay Up-to-Date: Cryptocurrency markets are constantly evolving, and it's crucial to stay informed about the latest developments and trends in the industry. Follow news sources, blogs, social media influencers, and forums related to cryptocurrency trading to keep yourself updated on the latest market conditions.

    Develop a Trading Plan: It's important to have a clear strategy and plan in place before trading cryptocurrencies. This includes determining your risk tolerance, setting entry and exit points, and using stop-loss orders to minimize losses.

    Diversify Your Portfolio: It's essential to diversify your cryptocurrency portfolio to minimize your risk exposure. Invest in a mix of different cryptocurrencies to spread your risk.

    Use Technical Analysis: Technical analysis is a method of analyzing market data such as price charts and trading volumes to predict future market trends. This can help you make informed trading decisions.

    Use Trading Tools: Utilize trading tools such as bots, signals, and indicators to help you identify potential trading opportunities and automate your trading strategy.

Remember, cryptocurrency trading is inherently risky, and there are no guarantees of profitability. It's important to do your due diligence and make informed decisions based on your own risk tolerance and financial goals.

Well... maybe we have to start questioning that statement.  ::)

LoyceV you have to start giving more proof that you are really human.  :P

Another example of what it looks like when a bounty hunter (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2243938;sa=showPosts) decides to be smart with the help of AI.

Q: Explain the main advantages of bitcoin over fiat money, try to keep within 500 characters when answering.

A: Bitcoin has several advantages over fiat money. It is decentralized, meaning it is not controlled by any government or financial institution. Transactions are also faster and cheaper, as there are no intermediaries involved. Bitcoin also offers privacy and security, as it is based on cryptography. Finally, its limited supply and deflationary nature make it a good store of value and a hedge against inflation.

Q: If bitcoin offers privacy, why do we need bitcoin mixers? Keep answering as concisely as possible.

A: Bitcoin is pseudonymous, meaning transactions can be traced on the blockchain. Bitcoin mixers can increase privacy by mixing transactions with others, making it harder to trace the origin or destination of funds.

Q: How do you assess the prospects for accepting bitcoin as a global reserve currency?

A: Currently, the prospects for Bitcoin becoming a global reserve currency are uncertain due to its high volatility and lack of widespread adoption. However, if these issues can be addressed and more countries and institutions begin to accept and hold Bitcoin, it could become a viable reserve currency option in the future.

Q: How can we solve the problem of bitcoin price volatility?

A: The problem of Bitcoin price volatility can be addressed through increased adoption and market liquidity. As more individuals, businesses, and institutions begin to accept and hold Bitcoin, its price stability could improve. Additionally, the development of more sophisticated financial instruments, such as Bitcoin futures and options, could also help to reduce volatility by providing investors with more ways to hedge against price swings. Finally, increased regulatory clarity and mainstream acceptance could also help to stabilize the Bitcoin market.

Another thought I have on this subject was the following scenario: Someone use ChatGPT to translate a text.

I, for example, normally use google translator to write my posts in English. If I ask chat to do this translation, maybe it will translate a little better. Does this cease to be my text? I don't think it is any longer, but it could certainly make the text more likely to be detected as a false positive.

It is really not easy to detect what is or is not 100% AI-created text.

27. Using automated translation tools to post translated content in Local boards is not allowed.

I think this covers it:
It's allowed on the English boards. I think you're okay: It's plagiarism if you translate someone else's text and don't mention the original. By that logic, it can't be plagiarism if you translate your own text.

Yes, I'm perfectly comfortable with that and I know I'm not doing anything wrong.
I'm just reflecting on the fact that AI tools can certainly translate better than Googel Translator, and this can generate even more doubts for AI text detectors.

As soon as I have a little time, I will do this test and comparison, for our more detailed analysis. ;)

I don't know about other language translations but I'm pretty much sure that in terms of translating English to Bengali, chatGPT is the worst. Google translator does a better job than chatGPT. I had a test, just to check out and the result was horrible from chatGPT. Maybe in the next few years, chatGPT will form itself better but when I checked last time, it was a really bad experience.

That doesn't surprise me.

Good translation software is much more complex than one might imagine. Normally, it involves years of development for the result to be minimally decent. Google Translate already has many years of development that allows you to get better results, especially in less common languages.

You should exercise caution if your Bitcoin address contains any typos because doing so could result in the loss of your money.

You can attempt to fix the missing characters in your Bitcoin address by following these steps:

1. Look through your files: Look through any files you may have containing the address, such as purchase receipts or notes, to see if you can locate the missing characters.

2. Experiment with variations: If you're unclear of the missing characters, you might attempt several address variations. For instance, you can try adding various letter and number combinations until you find the right address if the last few characters are missing.

It should be noted that all investments are associated with risks, including cryptocurrencies. Therefore, when deciding which cryptocurrency to invest in, you need to take into account not only its growth potential, but also its risks.
Regarding BTC and ETH price growth forecasts, it is worth noting that all such forecasts are only assumptions and cannot guarantee future results.
ETH has its advantages over BTC, as it is not only a cryptocurrency, but also a platform for building blockchain-based decentralized applications. Also, unlike BTC, ETH has a hybrid protection model that provides greater security against attacks on the blockchain.
As far as portfolio diversification is concerned, it may be a good idea to reduce the risks. You can consider investing in other cryptocurrencies such as Litecoin, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, etc. However, before investing in any cryptocurrency, you need to do your own research and evaluate the risks and potential returns.

Algorithms using RingCT and Dandelion++ technologies allow for simultaneous transaction privacy and protection against traffic analysis. Let's consider various types of transfers: P2C (from an individual to a company), O2O (from one individual to another), B2C (from a company to an individual), and B2B (from one company to another).

For P2C transfers, it is recommended to use simple wallets that do not require the involvement of third-party services such as exchanges. Users can buy BTC directly from another individual, giving them cash, and then receive the coins on their private wallet. Alternatively, a user in the Dominican Republic can sell their coins to another individual for cash.

For O2O transfers, simple wallets can also be used, but in this case, users can exchange coins directly without using third-party company services.

For B2C transfers, companies can use specialized wallets that allow for more complex operations such as multiple inputs and outputs. This can result in higher transaction fees, but can also reduce risks for the company.

For B2B transfers, it is also recommended to use specialized wallets that allow for multiple inputs and outputs. In this case, depending on the specific needs of the companies, different algorithms and technologies can be used to ensure transaction security and privacy.

The mathematical solution can be based on an analysis of transaction fees, which may vary depending on the type of wallet, type of transaction, number of inputs and outputs, address types, and other factors. To choose the most optimal solution, the costs of fees and the risks associated with using third-party services should be evaluated.

You're spot on. The safety of your coins depends on keeping both your seed phrase and passphrase secure and in different locations. If you lose either one, you won't be able to access your coins.
When generating a new seed phrase, it's advisable to use a trustworthy and secure wallet that has undergone rigorous testing and auditing. Also, be sure to verify the wallet address you're using to avoid being scammed by phishing.

Downloading the blockchain isa resource-intensive process that requires a lot of bandwidth and time. Doing so over a public WiFi network increases the chances of the download getting interrupted, resulting in wasted time and bandwidth. and also could potentially violate the network's terms and service, which could lead to legal consequences.

It is very important to note that you should only discard your old wallet once you have you confirmed that ll of your funds have been successfully transferred to your new wallet. You should also make sure to securely erase any sensitive information that may be stored on your old wallet to prevent unauthorized access.

Make sure to store your passphrase in a secure location, such as a password manager or a physical safe, to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.

I hope he'll be banned, but just in case I've left neutral feedback. Spammers should stay away from the tech boards!

what is the final consensus for the members who fill us with AI-generated content?
In addition to spam and considering that the content they present to us is not originally written by them, whether the red tag is appropriate in such cases? or even a request for a ban?

The system is for handling trade risk, not for flagging people for good/bad posts/personalities/ideas.

My take:
-neutral tag
-report (some get banned, some don't)

I don't disagree with your opinion, but what do you think about their cheating purpose. Apparently, they use AI to write for them, and its purpose is monetize bounty campaigns. Is this equivalent to using multiple accounts to cheat? You know, if you only use one account, it's not necessary for you to use AI to write instead, although it may not be relevant, but the possibility of them using AI to cheat with multiple accounts still exists. What do you think about this issue? I want to know more about your opinion  ;D

Thoughts on this? I'd say it looks like generit chat AI diarrhoea:

Red parts: I suspect he added those typos on purpose.

If you have impregnated a girl, it's important to take responsibility for your actions and handle the situation maturely and respectfully. Here are some steps you can take:

Have a conversation with the girl: Talk to her about the pregnancy, how she is feeling, and what her plans are. It's important to listen to her and take her feelings and wishes into consideration.

Discuss your options: You and the girl should discuss your options for the pregnancy, which may include keeping the baby, adoption, or termination. It's important to make a decision that is right for both of you.

Support the girl: Pregnancy can be a difficult and emotional time, so it's important to support the girl in any way you can. This may include attending doctor's appointments with her, helping her with household chores, or just being there to listen and offer emotional support.

Take responsibility: If you and the girl decide to keep the baby, it's important to take responsibility for your role as a parent. This means being involved in the child's life, providing emotional and financial support, and being a positive role model.

Remember, having a baby is a big responsibility, but it can also be a joyous and rewarding experience. By taking responsibility for your actions and working together with the girl, you can create a positive outcome for everyone involved.

anyway i think it is easier to notice the posts generated through AI since the answer to some topics are somehow inconsistent to some extent so it is much easier to spot, also adding those overly excessive usage of grammars and too much flowery words.

tsk tsk people really nowadays are searching for ways to be more lazy.

On this part, it's not a good idea to ban someone from using AI to write, I agree with LoyceV on this point. Everyone has a different way of expressing themselves, so we cannot catch someone else's fault through words, nothing is 100%. I'm emphasizing the point, these people can use AI to cheat with multiple accounts, and I want to know LoyceV's view. It's certainly not a strange thing, cheating always has a purpose  ::)

I found another AI chat shitposter: Edcrypto91 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3529940):

Question: Has this become a rampant problem here?  I've seen several threads dealing with AI stuff, but I don't have a feel for how it's being abused or to what extent.

Even before the creation of these GPT, there are posters that use excessive grammar and flowery words as they call

Jeez, am I reading the situation correctly, that these apparently AI-generated posts are getting "better"? 

Lowering the average Bitcoin block confirmation time could have several potential effects, both positive and negative:

Faster Transactions: The most obvious benefit of a lower confirmation time is that transactions would be confirmed more quickly. This would allow users to send and receive Bitcoin more efficiently, which could improve overall transaction throughput and user experience.

Higher Transaction Fees: A lower confirmation time could lead to an increase in transaction fees, as users may be willing to pay more to have their transactions confirmed more quickly. This could make Bitcoin transactions more expensive, especially during times of high network activity.

Increased Risk of Double Spending: A shorter confirmation time could increase the risk of double spending, where a user spends the same Bitcoin twice. This is because a shorter confirmation time gives attackers less time to launch a double spending attack before the transaction is confirmed.

Increased Network Congestion: A shorter confirmation time could also lead to increased network congestion, as more transactions would need to be processed in a shorter period of time. This could lead to longer wait times for users, higher transaction fees, and a higher risk of transaction failures.

Overall, lowering the average Bitcoin block confirmation time could improve the speed and efficiency of Bitcoin transactions, but it could also lead to higher transaction fees, increased network congestion, and a higher risk of double spending. Any changes to the Bitcoin protocol should be carefully considered and thoroughly tested to ensure that they do not have any unintended consequences.

Jeez, am I reading the situation correctly, that these apparently AI-generated posts are getting "better"?

Full Member zanezane (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1047251) returned after 2 years, and changed from short posts to excessively detailed posts. He's suddenly "answering" many questions on the tech boards.

Thoughts on this? I'd say it looks like generit chat AI diarrhoea:

Some of my replies are opinion based

I am trying to research also just to add my knowledge about the topic

and learn from people's experience. Sorry if u think me that way. I am not sure if you guys can understand my grammar from some of my replies. I dont know everything so I research. Im just making myself clear. Thank you

As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, there is no specific information available about "Ordinal NFTs." It's possible that Ordinal NFTs may have been created or introduced after my knowledge cutoff date. NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are unique digital assets that are recorded on a blockchain, typically the Ethereum blockchain. They can represent various forms of digital or physical items, such as artwork, collectibles, virtual real estate, and more.

Some? How about the others?

That's not worth it, my friend. It's not like it's an exam. If you are not sure about something. Just let it slide, or read what other members have responded. If you don't understand the input. You can always ask.

You are not being crucified here because of your grammar. It's just a suspicion that you could be using an AI to generate texts based on your posting history. Worst thing is that you are trying to respond to topics that you have less info about.

Here is also a very suspicious user MIner1448 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2132496). His posts look too much like the text that AI generated. If you look at his list of posts, almost all of his recent posts are a product of AI. At least it seems that way to me. I could be wrong. But it's very beautifully written.

Example


You need to ban such people.

Germany is implementing a plan to phase out nuclear energy, adopted back in 2011. The last three nuclear power plants in the country were due to close at the end of 2022. But the situation was changed by Russia's full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. Russian gas deliveries to Germany stopped, and there was a danger of an energy crisis. As a result, Chancellor Olaf Scholz ordered to extend the life of the nuclear power plant until mid-April 2023.

The decision to phase out nuclear power was significantly affected by the disaster at the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant in Japan in 2011. Therefore, such a decision of the government was made taking into account security and combating the consequences of global climate change in favor of the transition to "green" energy.
However, as the survey showed, about 65 percent of Germans are against the complete cessation of all nuclear power plants.

Full Member Ozero (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1170893) caught my attention by posting detailed events, names and dates without any reference:
This user suddenly switched from short Russian posts to longer English posts the moment he applied for a bounty campaign (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2620095.msg27590790#msg27590790) 5 years ago.

I'd like to see a second opinion on this user :)

Yes, I'm familiar with Libbitcoin. Libbitcoin is an open-source C++ Bitcoin library that provides a variety of functionalities for developers to work with the Bitcoin protocol. It offers a set of tools, APIs, and cryptographic primitives to interact with the Bitcoin network and build Bitcoin-related applications. Libbitcoin aims to provide a flexible and modular framework for developers to create their own Bitcoin software, ranging from lightweight wallets to full nodes. It supports various features such as key management, transaction creation and validation, scripting, networking, and blockchain analysis.  :D

I want to ask about this software, does it use CPU or GPU? or can use both? can i contact you further?  ;D

Behavior of this user similar with user icynote_original[1] which i reported few days ago[2]. And that post actually is plagiarized[3], although i can't report since it's already deleted.

Love your optimism, not going to happen. Even blatant plagiarists aren't getting banned, let alone word salad shitposters. This would require actual engagement from moderators - like reading the board they're responsible for and deleting/banning without waiting for reports. I haven't seen that happening since frodo was cleaning tech boards and FH in P&S.

How about ICYNOTE2023 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3564055)?

This user also posts "questions" everywhere, which is a low-effort method of pretending to be interested, straight from the Newbie spammer handbook:

I've left neutral feedback.

LoyceV, I also want to note that this is the alt account of the user icynote_original, who also spammed using the chatbot and was banned recently for plagiarism:


These accounts were registered at the same time and use the same style of writing in their posts:

LOOK AT EVERYBODY,
SHE LIKE THE OWNER OF THIS FORUM.
DROP ME. WHEN I AM THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM, NOT HER.
Hi MODERATORS. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR POST NUMBER HERE. IF NEED, EVERY POST I DO NOT NEED YOU TO ADD BECOME A NEWBIE, MEMBER OR ANYTHING. HERE I WANT TO LEARN, NOT TO ADD POSTS.

There are services like ninjastic and Loyce.club. His post was preserved there, anyway. Isn't it possible to provide a link to the post from these archives as proof?

And I also wanted to ask, is not the person who used similar to someone else's account name, imposter? I think they can even get banned on the forum for such a thing. No?

 :D

This idiot writes me a PM from every alt accounts where he pretends not to understand why he got a negative tag. I once warned him not to write to me again, but he is apparently very stupid, he doesn’t understand the first time. If he writes further, he will receive the same in response, I blacklist all his alt accounts in PM.

Lol, does anyone else doubt that these are all alts of the same person? :D
