Currently, I have only 9 reports with 89% accuracy.
When you are about to report a post, there is a message there that says you shouldn't worry about the accuracy of your reports, as one accurate report means more than many inaccurate ones, so 89% accuracy from 9 posts is acceptable, and as long as you are not reporting posts that clearly do not break any rule, then you're fine.
If it is scam, just report 'scam'
I don't think the moderators are going to do anything with such report because the forum does not moderate scams.

If mempool is less congested, using decentralized exchange will not be a problem. But I do not think it will get to the extent that all exchanges P2P will be banned from Nigeria. I hope Nigeria government will be able to handle this appropriately in a way Nigerians will not suffer from their stupid actions.
The way things dey go now for Naija, decentralized exchanges fit become our only option of converting Bitcoin to Naira, and for the people wey never use am before, nor do they have an idea how it works, they have to start learning about it right now, and e make sense well well, based on privacy matter. I know say our government fit no end up banning all centralized exchanges, but e dey better to start preparing ahead by learning how to trade in decentralized exchanges.

I think next rally would be AI centered. Who knows maybe sam altman tweets and it pumps. Thats my hope.
Stop buying shitcoins, i know that you hope they would pump so you can make a huge amount of money, but the chances of that happening is very slim. If you are hoping for a tweet from someone for a coin to pump, then you are dealing with pump and dump coins that have no utility and is moved by only hype and nothing else. Look for coins with utility and are sustainable for the long term.

Financial stability and freedom of finance is achieved when no one depends on you and have built your circle to be like you also.
You are not compelled to help everybody, neither can you successfully set up everyone around you, that's basically impossible, like i have said earlier, if you take up too many burden, it will be counterproductive and affect your own financial life and stability.

Mind you that you cannot make someone rich by giving them your own money, you can only teach them how to make money and direct them to finance books that would help them boost their financial knowledge, if you give them money when they have no financial knowledge, they'd keep coming back until they drag you into financial problems.
106  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Dollar rise: EFCC continues crackdown on cryptocurrency platforms, others on: April 21, 2024, 07:31:18 PM
I want to understand something how does cryptocurrency itself affect the price of dollar against naira, this is funny, a country that has failed to do what's is right keeps making the same mistake all the time
The CBN and SEC believe that traders/speculators in centralized exchanges are to blame for the naira losing value against the dollar, dem believe say na these speculators dey artificially increase the price of the dollar against the Naira in these platforms, but of course, i no believe dem, as it is not possible for that to be the sole problem. I been talk am say after Binance, they will go after other centralized exchanges, and as things be now, na only a matter of time before that happens.
107  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Stay alert and keep suspect of when someone is helping you out of your wallet on: April 21, 2024, 06:22:32 PM
Do things yourself then, you have the internet and Bitcointalk to help you, ask questions here and search online to see if you can get a guide to help you solve your problem. If you grant someone access to your wallet, they can steal your seed phrase and import your wallet into their device and then steal your coins.

The wallet you are talking about here is an exchange wallet. Though you should not keep your assets in a centralized exchange, but the person helping your out cannot steal your seed phrase, because you do not have any when you use an exchange wallet, they can only deceive you to send your assets to a wrong address that they control.
108  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to be more visible in the forum as a beginner on: April 21, 2024, 03:43:58 PM
Btw, the more a user contributes to technical threads/topics the easier it is to be noticed, what you do with this information is up to you  Cool
There are newbies who have known about Bitcoin for a long time before they created an account on this forum, but if the beginner is also a newcomer to the Bitcoin network, just as they are to the forum, there is no way they can contribute to discussions concerning the technical aspects of Bitcoin, and if they try to, it would most likely be spamming. It is good for newbies to visit the technical boards, but only to read and ask questions, after sometime they would build up their own knowledge and be able to contribute and help others.

In addition, anyone has a same chance to report his post to [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source.
Merit giveaway topics like these do not solve the problem, if the MS's who run these giveaways are not interested in posts in the trading board, there is a high tendency that they would ignore submissions from the trading board for merits in their giveaway thread. Theymos is also not considering adding new merit sources anytime soon, so the best solution is for users' who frequent the trading board and have a lot of smerits to send merits to posts of high quality made in that section, and this can increase merit circulation there.
110  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do not forget your Bitcointalk account password!!! on: April 20, 2024, 10:33:21 PM
I would suggest continuing to remember the passwords that we have, when using your passwords regularly so that your memory of the passwords becomes stronger and you won't be afraid of losing your passwords if you format your laptop or PC accidentally.
An average person who uses the internet has a lot of accounts and all these accounts require that you set a password, how do you remember it all, and if you are using the same password across different accounts, you are doing it wrongly and run the risk of being hacked in different platforms all at once. Do not try to memorize passwords, use a good password manager or you just write down whatever password you set.
111  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Do you not think those land borders should be opened again on: April 20, 2024, 08:07:28 PM
I believe the whole idea of this was to actually give our local production house a boost of confidence
Come to think about it ehn, i no think say government gats close our land borders to help local production, they can support local producers and leave the borders open for competition. Wetin i believe be say competition dey help businesses to grow and improve and e dey also help to control the prices of goods, so whatever we go dey import through our land borders, we go also dey produce locally, leaving the market open for competition.
112  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Make sure to avoid wasting BTC for too high fees – step by step guide (Electrum) on: April 20, 2024, 06:49:47 PM
I assume that most will just avoid buying bitcoin but the worst part of it is the damage that it does to the overall adoption of it.
That's correct, even people who have been in the network for many years cannot make transactions on the network right now because of how high transaction fee is, now think about a newcomer, it is enough reason for them to lose any interest they have in Bitcoin. I am pretty sure the fees would drop after sometime, so it is essential for us to tell newbies that transaction fees would not stay permanently high, when the congestion lessens and the spammers go away, fees would become affordable again.
113  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will altcoins ever cheap again? on: April 20, 2024, 03:23:57 PM
So what do you think? Will altcoins ever cheap again? Or you are buying overprice altcoins?
There are so many altcoins in the market, so you have to be specific on the altcoins you are talking about, there are quite a lot of altcoins that are cheap and some more established coins that cost more. That being said, you shouldn't be looking at only the price when you want to buy altcoins, what should concern you is its utility and long term sustainability, and not its price.

Though during altcoin season new projects can pump very high and if you want to gamble, you can buy a few of them irrespective of their utility and see if you'd be lucky on some.
114  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Do you not think those land borders should be opened again on: April 19, 2024, 10:53:09 PM
From wetin me i understand, the purposes wey make our government shut the borders no dey work, dem shut down the border for security and economic reasons, them been wan stop people from smuggling arms and weapons into Nigeria through the borders, and them been wan stimulate local production. But as Naija dey now, insecurity and economic hardship still dey.

E get one big problem wey our leaders dey get, and it is that dem no dey gree say their policy don fail, dem go still stick to am. I believe say every good leader suppose to dey flexible in correcting their mistakes and that includes reversing a policy that is failing and causing hardship to people, rather than stick to it and promising them future gains, which we are never sure of in this country.
115  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where best to enjoy this forum... on: April 19, 2024, 10:24:26 PM
I've browsed the forum from my mobile device for a very long time now, and at this point i am so used to it that i can't really complain of anything, even though i must admit that it was not all "fun" from the beginning. We have been waiting for the new forum software for ages now, it is expected to have a mobile version, but you'd get used to using the forum from your mobile this way, sooner than we'd get the new forum software (if ever Grin).
116  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Advantages of Bitcoin halving on: April 19, 2024, 06:02:42 PM
If person wan sell their coins when Bitcoin halving dey very close, because dem wan put the money for altcoins, then dem no really know wetin dem dey do. Hodling Bitcoin as halving dey very close is a no-brainer and anybody wey don experience past halvings go make sure say dem hodl their coins. This year fit even bring something wey dey unprecedented as Bitcoin spot etf's were approved in the United states, so coupled with Bitcoin halving wey go soon happen, the price suppose pump very high, but make we see wetin go happen.
117  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Benefit of non additional charge on: April 19, 2024, 05:26:59 PM
Additional transaction fees may not be much of a problem for those who have a large amount of investment, but for small investors or mid-level investors, additional transaction fees are a problem.
There is nothing like "additional transaction fees" for sending Bitcoin on-chain, additional transaction fees sounds like there are extra fees or charges when you send Bitcoin on-chain. What you pay is transaction fees and it can vary for a few reasons, if the mempool is clogged like it is now, you are going to pay a higher fee, and your inputs as well as your address type can also increase or decrease fees you're going to pay.
118  Other / Meta / Re: Why is merit not common on trading discussion board on: April 19, 2024, 04:29:52 PM
maybe if Theymos should later consider adding more sources, it may help with the circulation as expected.
More merit sources would increase merit circulation, but i read in one user's merit source application topic that Theymos is not considering adding any new merit sources, so this is not an option right now.
When talking about the trading board not getting enough merit, there are also other boards that get few or no merit so I assume it is just lack of quality discussions in those sections.
That is your own subjective believe and that of others who think the same way. If there are good posters who post there, they would definitely be asking the same question OP is doing, even though i don't think it is going to yield anything.
119  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Person wey get money no fit spray the money again? on: April 18, 2024, 09:33:22 PM
Cubana Chief Priest was bailed with ₦10 million with 2 sureties. A court case that will lead to ₦5000 fine supposed not to lead to ₦10 million bail I think. This is Nigeria.
Lol, yes, i think the whole bail conditions is stringent to make sure say the defendant go return to court when it is time for the next hearing. Dem also make sure say the defendant submit him international passport, i just think say all these na part of the process.
This is just part of what is happening in Nigeria that only awareness and some strict actions can be effective against but they are not doing anything than going to celebrities. It has no sense because this can not stop naira mutilation.
Na true wey you talk, i no think say e make sense as dem send Bobrisky to 6 months in prison, e dey very harsh. Naira mutilation don dey happen for Naija for a very long time now, e get better ways wey dem go fit take create the awareness say na crime, rather than going after only celebrities.

Maybe too many merit sources do not do not visit the trading discussion board and the non-merit sources who visit the board only post but do not bother to read the posts of others to give merits to quality posts. If there were a few merit sources who visited that board often, more users would earn merits from the posts they make there.
If you feel you have good posts in Trading discussion board, you can apply your posts in Merit sources' merit giveaway topics.
If they are not interested in posts made in that section, then even if you submit them to their giveaway topics it might still be ignored, so that is not the solution. A merit source for that section is a more viable solution.
