3. What jobs?
Out of everything, this is actually the one which is a good alternative (if you have the required skillset). There are projects out there in search for skilled developers, designers, moderators, support etc... All these could be a good job for which you can get a decent crypto income. Providing your own services for crypto is also a good option though. |

There are a lot of broken imgur links. How do you think this should be resolved? I've come up with these possible solutions:
1: Do nothing. People will have to edit past broken images and use different image-hosting services going forward.
2: Make it so that all past imgur embedded images show up as a clickable link instead of as an embedded image, as if the poster had just posted the imgur link instead of using the [img] tag. I could also maybe make it so that if you click the link, it will JavaScript-expand into an embedded image (using the specified width etc.) without going through the image proxy.
3: Exempt imgur links from the image proxy so they all just work. But this has privacy implications, since imgur will see forum users' IPs. Also, imgur has apparently banned a lot of Tor exit nodes etc. as well, so imgur images won't work for everyone.
4: Exempt imgur links from the image proxy as above, but prevent using imgur embedded images in any future posts, to sort of phase it out.
We never know what additional restrictions Imgur may impose on us and therefore, I believe that we should avoid using it in our future posts. My ideal choice would be to exempt the previous posts and restrict the use of Imgur for future posts. Fortunately, we have Talkimg by Joker_Josue, which is an excellent alternative for hosting images. Additionally, the script by TryNinja has helped many of us to replace our existing images with the ones hosted on Talkimg. So we do have that option as well for the previous posts. |

Of course, I set the parameters correctly with a freshly generated API from a new account. I finished uploading every possible image to talkimg, only a few left above the 2MB threshold, so I wanted to have a second round with imgbb. Apparently still the uploading error I had the other day [Error] Origin https://bitcointalk.org is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. Status code: 502
Error 502 means that there's an error from the server side. When I digged up I found that we get this error when appropriate CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) headers are not set on the domain. So the API request in the above script is being blocked by the browser and there are only two solutions for this. 1. The server side configuration has the appropriate CORS headers set and allows requests from bitcointalk 2. Get a proxy or server side endpoint which allows us to bypass CORS restrictions So I guess it won't be possible on imgbb since we don't have anyone from server side to allow the above configuration. May be joker_josue can help in here to increase the max limit size for the uploads or provide specific endpoint which allow increased max limit size to specific users. |

I get the same error messages after a half dozen pages:
A new error with imgbb.
May be because you are using imgbb to upload the images. I just completed all my uploads using the script and it was flawless. I changed the providers to talkimg and then started uploading and in few minutes it was done.
// options
const startPage = 1
const provider = 'talkimg'

That was my surprise when I last time read this. This was a few months back when I read in one of the local newspapers where they mentioned around 4 million Bangladeshi people use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I didn't believe in that stats but today once again I found the same stats on another website namely Triple A, I have no idea about them. According to them, 2.4% of people are holding cryptocurrency in Bangladesh which I think is impressive. No matter whether most of them have invested just because they are greedy. Still, it's a piece of great news in my opinion. Bangladesh is one the countries where using Bitcoin is declared illegal by the government. But this number/stats say something we are going to get in the very near future. There was a discussion regarding cryptocurrency between some employees from Bangladesh Bank. They were hinting Bangladesh may legalize Crypto within 2/3 years. Maybe finally, it's happening. Interesting news. I didn't know my neighboring country has acquired some bitcoins as well. It's good to know that 2.4% of it's population are into crypto and I wish the number keeps increasing every year. Bhutan has also been into crypto under the hood and is mining bitcoin [ local board discussion] While India has been into crypto and declared 30% flat tax on it many individuals have stopped using crypto yet the number of people using it remains significant. I hope the tax rate decreases which will further boost the use of crypto in India. |

The administration of the site could also come in and play that game. I collected those satoshis for 6 months, and why did I play in dice, what senseless reasons, God.
 Are you serious about it! Your complaint is completely funny now. I'm using Freebitco for almost 7 years, but I have never faced such issue. Why the administrator of Freebitco will play the multiply BTC game with your account balance? Perhaps, you or someone from your home have accessed Freebitco from your device and played the multiply BTC game. You aren't admitting it. Perhaps, since he had collected it for 6 months and decided to try his luck in a game of dice, losing made him stubborn enough to deny the fact that he actually lost it gambling. We have seen such people in the past who completely denied that they gambled and lost the money themselves and were here to debate with TheQuin. |

Is it just me or the font color of the text in the image is actually blurry. I mean we have to pay more attention to it to see it clearly. It would have been more easier if the font color was black rather than grey. If @bitmover could do this change it would be great. Great efforts though. Congratulations.  |

CSK wins the toss and choses to bat first. CSK is taking it slow at the the current run rate and has hit 65 runs in 9 overs.
I think CSK will win this match even at this run rate. What do you guys think ?

“Sabong” or the placing of bets on live cockfighting is an established tradition in the Philippines that dates as early as three thousand (3,000) years ago. The gaming activity is essentially placing two roosters/cocks in an arena and betting on which between the two comes out victorious. I do not think it is what they even accept as gambling is Philippines by some people. But if it is accepted as gambling, it is stated in the news that it was legal before when the man was involved in it. If the government legalize gambling, anyone can be involved in gambling. But countries will have their own rules about government officials to be involved in gambling or not. If sabong is cock fighting then with e-sabong I think they are putting the cock fight online That must be funny though, watching cocks fighting online. LOL. I did a search and found it's actually real. There are 2 e-sabong which shows cock fights and accepts bets on those. source: https://www.businessnews.com.ph/who-owns-legal-e-sabong-or-online-sabong-companies-in-the-philippines-20210510/ |

This is very accurate. Newbies and I will suggest Jr.member also should be restricted from posting in Lending section.
Just 2 days back I went to Lending board to see how it works because even I wanted to start lending out money but I was disappointed.
All I could see was newbies asking for loans and getting tagged in return. It was all that I could see and no real benefits from lending.
If newbies can get away with it so easily by creating new accounts then there's no point for them to make posts in the section at first place.
If there were more real lending posts out there then it would have interested not only me but many others.
Further more, moderators would have to spend lest time moderating this section.

Thanks for this work around. How do I set a specific folder for these legacy images?
I decided to go ahead and get things started. I swapped out the API for the one I have on my account. After 185 pages without any activity, this happened:  ...and the script stopped. How did you get the API key ? I tried to search for it on the site and even tried to register but couldn't see any options for it anywhere on the site. I tried running the script in OP but it didn't change any of the images although the script completed without any errors. So I thought of registering on the site and using it's API and then try running the script. |

PBKS has set a target of 168 runs for Delhi Capitals. I think they could have done better but lost 7 wickets through 20 overs.
I must say Prabhsimran lead his team to the score with 103 runs in 65 balls. Very well played.
Let's see how Delhi Capitals perform and if they are able to beat the score.

This is just the basics, but anyone should be aware of it: Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it. Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider. Avoid drugs / drink as much as possible, they will make you loose some control innevitably. Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone. Anything else anyone can think of? Like... read this post before gambling?  Self awareness to getting addicted should be the main advice. Every gambler should pay attention on his gambling habits. If at any point the gambler does something what he had not planned on to do then the chances are higher that he is slowly getting addicted to gambling. For example: Playing more than the allocated time for gambling or increasing the budget for gambling out of the blue are some incidents to know your gambling addiction has increased. |

Sadly many secondary images on other posts will be lost forever... But I can't go on each of them recovering the images manually.  Allow me to quote myself here: It would be really cool if someone could write a program to move all of the imgur images to talkimg instead. I guess that would require superuser access to the board though. I'm currently downloading about 800,000 images from imgur, using 3 4 servers (and 1 second delay between requests). According to logfiles, I have 3 days, which won't be enough. If I get a substantial number of pictures, and if joker_josue wants to deal with ~200GB, I'll ask if theymos can update all imgur-links to talkimg.com. It would be nice if the forum doesn't lose that many images. Server #4 is downloading without a delay in between requests, and is currently downloading 9400 images per hour. I only have unedited imgur-links, and some are messed up (for now), but at this rate, I'll manage to preserve most images before they're deleted forever. Restoring the images is beyond my powers, but at least it won't be gone. Is there anything we could do to help you achieve this faster. If all of us work together on this we can download all the images in a day or may be less. Unity is the key. We would just need a way to connect our device to the internet so that we can increase the processing power to download more images in parallel. If not if we can contribute by sharing our computation power like how miners use a mining pool then may be can download all those images faster. |

As I have mentioned in my previous post HERE that I have seen this many times on Instagram, I cam across it today too. This time I paid more attention to it. What was really frustrating is that the ad was a sponsored ad. Basically, Instagram is really careless with what ads they are allowing for users to promote. This a huge concern because we don't know what will other users promote. It might end up scamming many. I have done my due diligence of reporting the ad though and request the same if any of you guys see such ads then just report them.    |

Snip~
So the bottom line is, invest what you can afford to lose in Bitcoin and other investments because the risk associated with investment is not only limited to Bitcoin alone but all other assets and investments. Let me tell you a real-life story, I have a friend from whom I received the same amount as payment for our overtime travel work sometime last year 2022, and when we wanted to invest the money, he optioned into real estate because he feel it more secure and profitable than bitcoin, but I used my whole allowance and travel payment to buy more bitcoin. At that time, the Bitcoin price was around 17k, but now, while my friend in real estate is waiting for tenants to rent his apartments, my own Bitcoin investment is already yielding of about 10 percent. Considering the current price your investment in bitcoin should be yielding 50% and not 10%. Choosing the investment option is all about belief. Your friend believes more in real estate and it's his choice. Also, if he would have already invested in bitcoin and then chosen real estate even then it's not a bad choice because that way he is diversifying his portfolio. Diversification is a good thing too. Now that he has an apartment to rent he can get that rent and invest in bitcoin periodically. That way he would be able to DCA his bitcoin investment and gain further more profits while owning an apartment. |

If the U.S. goes into default on its debts, what do you expect the reaction will be in the BTC world?
What about other crypto currencies?
My naive view is that BTC and other currencies should gain value.
US can simply print more money out of thin air and repay the debt and it as simple as that for them. But they won't do so because it will burn their economy due to very high inflation and interest hikes. They will probably do it slowly and gradually decrease their debts. Fiat will not be more sustainable at one point and I hope it comes soon. We are so in need of alternate financial system. Crypto has so much room to grow and needs to mature before we can finally use it as an alternative. |

I miss those telegram scammers. They are a great pass time for me. I used to troll them for fun. Whenever I message in any telegram group there are multiple people contacting me impersonating as moderators. There were few ladies too who were fun to troll Poor guys don't even know how mining works yet try to explain me how mining easily generates lot of income. |

I doubt it! My understanding here is that the source of your earning makes it harder. Since your source of earning is from crypto you would incurr a flat highest tax slab. I would prefer to talk to a CA or an expert in this matter. The person who can answer your question is @webtricks. I hope he can share some of his experience with regards to Section 80G. By the way if this works then it is a loophole within the tax system.
Yeah! Rather waiting for webtricks I would suggest checking it with someone who knows or has good knowledge with tax as I did. My intention for posting this topic on our local board was to create awareness. It is better to do your own research rather wait for someone to reply. If you have found an answer similar to mine or different then do reply to this thread as I am trying to find an answer here. It's good that you have made this post for awareness and it is serving the purpose. From my personal perspective, I think converting crypto to INR would incur 30% flat tax as announced by the government. After that, you should be able to donate the INR to a charitable organization and you should be able to claim tax benefits on that. Further more, not all relief funds are subject to deductions. There's a list of funds which has no deductions, 50% deductions and 100% deduction. The full list can be found in the link at bottom of this post. It also mentions that mode of payments are only cheque, demand draft or cash if the amount is less than 2000. Source : https://cleartax.in/s/donation-under-section-80g-and-80gga |

Wow guys, did not think I would see BTC go down this low again, but it has. I thought now US isn't going to raise interest rates things go back to normal plus there is worry of recession.
On the other hand nice to collect more satoshis, and I might get tempted to exchange my 2000 WOF spins if we see 10/11 satoshi again per spin hehe.
2000 WoF spins is a great number of spins to accumulate. I wonder how much time did it take you to accumulate that many spins. Now is a good time to monitor the market and claim the spins. If not all then you should consider spinning at least some of them. If the price goes further down then you claim few more. like DCA lol. The only issue is we just have the option of spin one and spin all. There should have been an option to customize the number of spins so that we could enter the number of spins we want to spin. |
