Does this still working?
The Merit system works fine. The fact that you didn't earn any Merit proves it Tongue

Seems like even posting quality posts, you still will not get merits
I wonder why.

I noticed Newbie iyayow Banned! when he complained about Merit. Please ban him for plagiarism:

So after we added email confirmations for withdrawals. It came out that many accounts which are only chasing freerolls daily, dont have access to their provided emails.
Many alternative accounts got banned. All detected alternative accounts will be banned.
Lol, nice side effect from requiring email confirmation. But it'll only be a temporary solution: next time, they'll use real email addresses.

Though in the past I hosted 5-6-7-8 I don’t know how many games... all in speculation Roll Eyes
I've seen many free raffles in Collectibles too (example). Moving those topics to Games and rounds feels like killing those very nice community giveaways, it doesn't justify the effort and money someone puts in without expecting anything in return.

In my opinion, Games and rounds is a great board for commercial games, such as promoting a casino, but not for community "games".

You guys remember Bitcoin died every weekend in 2017/18? I think its the first time in this Bullrun we have this sentiment. And I am not hearing it as often as in 2017/18 and before.
Bitcoin has been very high for months now. From all former ATHs it crashed within days. I can't believe going sideways for months is the new top, it's just part of the bullrun up.

I put the wrong address but this address is mine
You're wrong here: if the address would be yours, you'd have the private key. A deposit address on an exchange is owned by the exchange.
11308  Other / Meta / Re: Don't you think some people in the forum are giving too much importance to Elon? on: May 17, 2021, 11:27:20 AM
He pumps prises, then dumps. He manages prices the way he wants. It means that Elon has a huge influence on people and they blindly follow the Elon Scam.
This sounds like work for the SEC, but they're usually quite slow. So if anything's going to happen, it'll be months from now.
11309  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Deposit USDT to my BTC wallet on: May 17, 2021, 11:23:36 AM
Your mistake is just a collateral gain for them which maybe they don't want it either.
It's only a gain if they recover it. If that's the case, they can just as well return it.

I can think of a solution: every few years, an exchange can replace all deposit addresses by new ones, and give each user the private keys to all addresses they've used. But that would lead to other problems: some users will still keep using the old address, and many people can't handle private keys in a secure way.
So I get they're not very forthcoming about this.
11310  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Deposit USDT to my BTC wallet on: May 17, 2021, 10:59:17 AM
Unfortunately CoinList and all other exchanges will not be able to provide any secret keys to anyone as it might case security breaches.
This is correct. After so many exchange hacks in the past, any decent exchange now doesn't have a single employee with access to private keys. Although technically it is possible for them to recover your coins, it's risky and expensive for them to do.
Some exchanges have done it, some charge you for it, and some just don't do it at all.

if the amount is huge then you can take legal action against them.
I've never seen legal action taken in such a case. I like to compare it like this: you go to a bank, and drop a valuable coin on the floor. It rolls into a crack in the floor, and you can't reach it anymore. Now you want the bank to break open their floor to recover your coin, and even worse, their safe is right under it so they risk their security.

It makes me wonder how much money was lost by people using made-up tokens on the wrong chains!

As I wrote 3 days ago:
If you guys want to ignore the troll from that small battery car maker: why is he mentioned in all of the posts on this page?
Don't feed the troll!
Too many people care for the BS this billionaire troll posts on an unimportant website. And because so many people seem to care for no reason at all, all his BS turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Or as I also wrote:
Bitcoin doesn't care about that small car manufacturer.
I've seen FUD from so many different directions (China, bankers, governments, trolls), and every time people start dumping their Bitcoin. At the same time, other people buy their coins at a discount. FUD is meant to trigger stop losses and make people sell their coins.

I'd love to have a -Elon -Musk -Tesla filter on Bitcointalk, so I wouldn't even see this topic and wouldn't have posted here.



As for the topic title: Clearly Cheesy
People shouldn't believe a multi-billionaire shares their interests.

Get a flat scrap metal, write your private keys on it with a sharp/strong metal
What you're looking for is a letter punch. You can buy them for a few bucks, and all you need is a hammer.

Just don’t tell anyone that you buried Bitcoin in your garden, otherwise you might hear some weird noises in the middle of the night, and when you look out the window you see a neighbor with a metal detector looking for hidden treasure in your garden Cheesy
Once in a while, I see someone roaming around with a metal detector. Usually they search in public spaces though (look for coins or rings), not people's garden. Unless they know what to look for.

If you bury it in private ground, say the crawlspace under your house, you can just as well hang it on the ceiling of your crawlspace. Who's going to look there for treasures anyway?

If you bury the metal, you don't need to worry about the melting point. Don't bury it on a volcano.

Last quarter Tesla sold more than $500 million worth of carbon credits.
~
Enter Bitcoin miners, Elon Musk trashes Bitcoin for its energy use, at the same time promoting Dogshitcoin, helping Bitcoin price to fall. Then offers to solve the problem by offering to sell Bitcoin miners the spare carbon credits.
Wait, did he really try to sell carbon credits to Bitcoin miners?

If Tesla gets paid to sell carbon credits, doesn't that make them liable for the actual emission?
Let's see how much carbon credit costs: Opisnet:
Quote
The auction settled at $17.80/mt
Let's assume this is a reasonable estimate for the price. If Tesla sold more than half a billion dollars worth of credits, that means Tesla "covered" 28 million tonnes of emissions in just 3 months. Tesla only sold 185,000 cars during this time. Does that mean they can sell 150 tonnes of carbon credits for each car they sell? Let's assume their average car drives 250,000 km during it's lifetime, that makes 600 grams CO2 per km, which is about 5 times the average emission of new cars in Europe.

So: is my math wrong? Or is Tesla liable for much more emissions than even the most inefficient gas cars or all of Bitcoin mining?
11314  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase and stuck funds, BTC depleting! Plz help on: May 16, 2021, 06:01:11 PM
I don't use Coinbase, so I'm just guessing here: Isn't this hold period meant to prevent people from buying Bitcoin with hacked bank accounts? It sounds like a safety feature for new users.
11315  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Btc recovery on: May 16, 2021, 04:38:26 PM

11316  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Btc recovery on: May 16, 2021, 04:20:12 PM
Any idea why it says that 0.049btc is required to make $524,845.02 to be available to your bank account.
That's easy to answer:
This sounds like a scam.

If someone tells you to send him $2,000 to get $500,000 in return: it's a scam. It's that simple.
If you even consider anything else, you're the perfect victim for these kind of scams.
11317  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Btc recovery on: May 16, 2021, 01:10:59 PM
Above is a screen shot of my blockchain.com
It doesn't show the URL on the screenshot. How did you get half a million dollars in your "blockchain" account? That doesn't happen out of the blue. It sounds like a scam, but I'm not sure how it works yet.

Update: So it's a photo showing an email with a screenshot in it?

11319  Other / Meta / Re: speculation freeroll game issue, moved topic, deleted posts..WHY????? on: May 16, 2021, 11:58:37 AM
I opend a thread in speculation, this topic is about what willl the price be at a certain date, there is some reasoning and TA and speculation etc...
I've seen threads from Collectibles get moved to Games and rounds too. I guess Mods consider it a giveaway.
It's slightly weird though: if you'd open the same thread without giving away money to the best prediction, I don't think it would be moved out of Speculation.
11320  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [May 2021] Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs! on: May 16, 2021, 11:49:46 AM
I believe they are also looking back to see what fees have been needed recently. Just looking at the mempool doesn't account for what happens if there is a long gap before the next block.
Maybe they're aiming at (say) 98% certainty of being included in the next block. I can imagine that takes a higher fee.
But the fee to be confirmed within 10 or 25 blocks is also very high, and that doesn't depend on just the gap between 2 blocks.

I just made a 1.8 sat/vbyte transaction, which confirmed within a few blocks.
