Yes I think I understood what you said the first time, I just didn't realise that your crypto is still on the blockchain even when in your wallet.
"Crypto" is a broad term. There are tons of different cryptocurrencies out there, some working in slightly different ways. Let's just stick to Bitcoin. That way, we can answer your questions more precisely. In simple terms, wallets store your keys, which are essential for accessing your coins on the blockchain. Anyone who gets their hands on your wallet and its keys can also access your coins. It's like losing your apartment or car keys – if someone finds them, having another set hidden away won't help. I was wondering: if your crypto is on the blockchain wouldn't it make sense to encrypt your personal details to ad to your assets so no one could steal them?
That way this crypto would be yours forever until sold? All good wallets encrypt your personal data (private keys). That's why you have to enter a password or pin to unlock it. How come then Ledger Nano X were hacked??
How come anything gets hacked? There is no such thing as absolute security. |

Losing does really sting, even if it's something small. I think we all wanna come out on top - it's just human nature. But losing money gambling can really do a number on you mentally and it makes you second guess everything you did, and leaves you feeling pissed off and defeated.
But you made a good point about keeping your cool. Flipping out won't make the money magically reappear. What works better for me is taking a breather to calm down, then looking back at it all realistically. Learning from those screw ups helps me be better prepared to play another day.

Please let me know what you guys think, im really positive about it and maybe you guys are the same or think: "Nah not a good idea". Please let me know  Nah, not a good idea! Just kidding! It's good.  At first glance, I like the design. Clean, modern, unobtrusive... As Aeroplanino already mentioned, maybe you could consider sorting options for those terms, and maybe introduce some categorizations for those who don't know exactly what they are looking for. By the way, is that "Browse" menu item for future use or what? It doesn't seem to be doing anything right now. |

Putting my gambling stories out there definitely isn't all sunshine and rainbows. I guess you might think some unfortunate person might read about my errors and dodge those bullets. but let's be honest – most folks see these kinds of cautionary tales and say to themselves, "Psh, that would never happen to me", but next minute they're back at the slots.
Only gamble what you can afford to lose, seriously. Proper budgeting matters most, not wild stories after the fact.

PowerGlove, you seem to know a lot about the custom SMF front end, so let me ask you a question:
When you open the HTML source of this page for example, there are a bunch of "shadow" posts under the OP. These are invisible posts that have the same HTML structure as real posts, but they don't have anything inside them. There is usually a random amount of these displayed, anywhere from one to three. So what is the deal with that, and where do they come from?
There is a topic where this was discussed a bit: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5474601As shahzadafzal explained, there is something in the backend that generates these "dummyPosts" and could be related to forum ads. Only theymos can answer this, but I think it has something to do with the "ad", this bitcointalk ad that appears on every page after the first posts. Because I see there's a pattern, although the number will change as the ad changes, but the ID of this ad has something to do with these posts and this number.
Also, sometimes this post appears once, sometimes twice, or maybe three or four times in a row. It can be above the ad, or sometimes it's around the ad.

[/table] 01/04/2024 | | | | | | A new system has been introduced to discourage shitposting and to reward good posters. Specifically, posts with fewer than 15 characters will result in a merit deduction, and posts of higher quality will earn you merit increments. However, the catch is that the merit you receive does not add up to your smerit, which means you will not receive any smerit to send out. Don't worry, it's all part of the April Fools' joke.

I think your description of this year's April Fool's joke is wrong. According to theymos and from what I observed, we will not lose merits due to posts shorter than 15 characters, but quite the opposite - for every 15 characters we post, we will lose one Merit point. The joke is that the system actually penalizes long posts, and encourages writing short replies to reduce "shitposting". Another thing you didn't mention is that there is a system whereby you will earn a bit of merit just by reading posts. |

What is your educated guess relating to the end of year BTC price?
The end of the year is still many months away, and bitcoin is famous for its crazy ups and downs. Now, the talk of 79k GBP (100k USD) - that's definitely on the optimistic side, but not impossible! Historically, we usually have a cyclical bull run about every four years, which occurs in the months after each halving and peaks in the year after the halving. If I had to speculate, I expect that by the end of the year we could trend towards (or potentially reach) the $100k mark, especially if this bull run continues as predicted. But of course, nothing is guaranteed. External factors can always disrupt the market. |

Zar nije Theymos prošlih godina za 1. april uvijek imao neku šalu na forumu? Nisam siguran ali mislim da nisam primijetio ništa takvog ove godine.
Provjeri stanje svojih merita nakon svakog napisanog posta. Ako budeš stvarno dobar možeš dogurati i do "Certified Shitposter" statusa, poput ovog 'shitpostera' :  Više o tome možeš pročitati ovdje: Adjustments to Merit calculation |

I'm too smart for that. Tell me how smart are you? I have a PhD in math and science and shit, and I'm the smartest one here and you're all stupid and you should bow down to me because I'm so smart and all and I know stuff. -Fat Van Fork Ph.D. |

my merits are mysteriously disappearing as I type, so I can't talk much... Why? Let's talk! How's life? What's going on? Tell me everything! Take your time! I see what you're trying to do, but it won't work. I'm too smart for that. And you, sir, are a certified shitposter, so I will report you to your company manager! |

Let me know what you think of these adjustments.
It looks good. Leave it like that! We are sick and tired of shitposters. |

Someone should send him 3 btc to that address just to see if he sends it back. This will confirm whether it is an April Fool's joke or not. Who's going to do it?

You're at the wrong place. Why are you looking here? What were you hoping to find?
I have no idea! Apparently, I've also been permanently banned and my merits are mysteriously disappearing as I type, so I can't talk much... |

He then opened an account with Roqqu. I wanted to know if him creating a Roqqu was the right choice.
As far as I know, Roqqu provides an exchange and custodial wallet service for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. This means they hold the private keys to customer funds, making the service easier to use but placing trust in Roqqu for security and customers do not have full control compared to a non-custodial wallet where they hold the keys. If your friend wants more control and independence with his Bitcoin, he may want to consider moving it to a non-custodial wallet that gives him sole ownership of the keys. However this also transfers all security responsibility onto him. |

I've seen this happen before around here. Folks seem quick to cry scam when things go south, even if it's just a run of bad luck. And when it's the same person catching flak over and over, it does get suspicious and hard to believe someone could keep running into bad luck, especially when it seems so systematic. Usually, there's more to the story.
Anyway, nice job double checking things instead of just believing the accusation. We need more of that.
