Any admins here that would like to hire me to a job that I can get a reward with merits? I guess giving of merits will not composed only on posting constructive post rather it could also be base on performance. I am public high school teacher here in the Philippines and i am wondering if i could do a job here to improve the bitcointalk forum and be able to impart my knowledge and skills in teaching. Hopefully i could get a positive reply on this thread and bumping in even at least 1 merit will do. Thank you in advance.
Note: I could not elaborate more on this topic about meriting to a performance based as not to annoy you here reading my thread.
I will propose you something much better for you than what you're proposing. Study hard, as you would like your students to study (you said you are a teacher). You can start with this open source book https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook/releases/tag/second_edition_print2Go to the bitcoin technical discussion and beginners and help boards and post your doubts and summaries there. Pm me when you have some good posts that I will give you 2 merits. I am sure you will get 20 merits very fast doing this. |

Everyone knows that Bitcoin is still the King of Crypto Coin. If you are asking about Cryptocurrency, the first thing to think about is Bitcoin. With a fantastic price and many people who became his fans. But, what if one day Bitcoin popularity declined for a reason. For example, the price of Ethereum beats Bitcoin and everyone moves on Bitcoin and Investors are also moving to Ethereum. What will happen to the Cryptocurrency world when that happens? What will happen to Bitcoin forums? What will happen to this Forum? Will it be Ethereumtalk? Give your opinion.  In this unlikely situation where ethereum has larger marketcap than bitcoin, nothing will happen to bitcoin or to this forum. Bitcoin is a global decentralized currency, ethereum is not. They are not competing. |

In the Blockchain, all transactions are publicly announced to all nodes, as there is no central authority who validate transactions. The validation system is called Proof of Work.
This paragraph is somewhat misleading. The POW isn't used for validation, it's there to prevent double spending and modification of the chain. Validation of transactions in the block is done via cryptographic signatures and has nothing to do with POW. I would emphasize this more, as it's abit unclear from your post what is the purpose of POW in Bitcoin. Yeah, I just learned about that reading some posts on some other threads. I will review this text soon. Thank you for your observation. Can you explain about 6 confirmations needed for a transaction to be finalized?
It doesn't need 6 confirmations to be finalized. Bust many exchanges and websites will wait for 6 confirmations before accepting it, as a transaction is only considered irreversible with 6 confirmations. |

From what I've been checking, it really does seem that there's some sort of agreement around members' merit points: while most members I've seen below 120 activity have only a couple merit points, most that have already reached 120-140 are pretty close to or have already reached 100. The merit sources probably wait until you've reached the activity threshold before starting to invest their smerit in you. But that's just my guess...
You are likely accusing merit sources of meriting only older users. That's not true. And they have a hard job trying to find good posts in this forum. But as you stay more time in the forum, you will learn more about BTC and crypto and you will get more merits over time. But if you make some effort you can get merits now, just need to research and make good quality content. |

I’m just here for the pizza, but looks like everyone forgot to bring it.
Jerks.
Oh, and good job, bitmover; I always light up a bit when it comes to reviewing your posts on a weekly basis, and to watch the progression of merit growth for your account has been pretty phenomenal. I’ve said it before and I will continue to say it: this forum needs more members like you!
Here’s to the next 100 merits!
Thanks you for the pizza BTCforJoe!! I am very grateful for the reception I had in this community |

Help me please. Half a year ago I installed the Electrum on the PC. Created on it a purse with 2 x factor authorization. I wrote a seed and I have it. He transferred money to him and was pleased. Recently, a problem happened with the PC and I had to reinstall the OS. Month 3, I was calm, because I knew that I have a seed. But recently I decided to restore the purse and I did not succeed. Enter the seed in the line for it, but the "next" button is not activated! When I try to restore my two-factor wallet with the help of usual when entering the seed, it's the same problem, but if you choose bip39, then it seems like the process goes on, but the purse created is empty, without any history of translations! What do I do friends? I really hope for your help.
What do you call seed? Is a group of words, the mnemonic phrase? How many words do you have?? If your wallet was originally created in Electrum, your mnemonic phrase is not BIP 39. There is another option to recover your wallet from the mnemonic phrase without clicking bip39, that must be the problem. Electrum uses it own standard. |

You guys still don't get it, irregardless of the trezor i should be able to restore my seed in another wallet but it still doesn't work, honestly i don't care if the trezor messed up the update i just want my funds back, maybe i am using a wrong derivation path. Someone give me something i can do other than contact trezor support page, i have the right seed and that should count for something, i have only used the device twice and its just a month old.
-Did you buy trezor from the official store? If not, you should consider your hardwallet compromised and the seed originally generated could be someone else's Wallet. When you updated the firmware, your trezor was" fixed" and is now working properly. -Another option is to use de extended public key, this was already suggested before and did not help. The extended public key generates all possible public addresses for that seed. If the address is not there, the seed is wrong. -its possible that you misspelled some word. Raccoon or raccon for example. Here is a list of all possible words in English. Check each of your 24 . https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt-supposing your trezor is complety broken. have you tried to recover your seed in another wallet using these 24 words? This could solve. |

You don't have to trust them.
They are open source. So their code has been audit by thousands of devs and anyone could audit it by themselves.
If there was some backdoor in the code of ledger nano, for example, it would have already been spotted. They have huge rewards for bounty bugs either.
As mentioned before, as long as you hold your seed even if the hardware fail you can restore it in any other Wallet.

When that block is full of transactions, it is hashed.
This is not necessarily true. The block can be hashed even when empty or nearly empty. Miners immediately start to search for a valid hash, even before the block has any transactions. (I guess, the incentive to mine a new block is much larger than to collect the transaction fees!!) This was puzzling me too, but then I understood somewhat more, thanks to @DannyHamilton. Thank you butka. You showed me a very good post. I will review my explanation later. This is more complicated than I thought. |

Só gostaria de colocar alguns argumentos um pouco mais a favor a PoS (para equilbrar, não quero defender nenhum), o PoW como você mesmo disse é muito dependente da energia elétrica, e qualquer um pode competir comprando equipamentos mais potentes e evitar a descentralização, mas e em relação às asics ? eu sei que eles não eram algo esperado quando foi implementado, mas isso somado a fatores como o custo da energia em certos países torna o PoW um algoritimo que depende muito de "fatores externos inesperados", um governo pode simplesmente acabar com o suplemento de energia para mineração, deixando a rede instável de um dia para outro. E só ressaltando o ponto da energia elétrica, teoricamente o alto consumo energia não seria algo ruim, mas se existisse um outro algoritimo tão bom quanto, não seria sensato fazer a transição pelo bem do planeta ?
Agora sobre o PoS, novamente ressaltando o que você disse, tem o grande problema de que ele jamais foi testado anteriormente, fazendo com que tudo fique apenas na teoria. E o intuito de fazer com que "ganha quem tiver mais", pode ser explicado pelo fato de que se todas as moedas fossem inicialmente bem distribuídas, e um "atacante" quisesse comprar 51% de todo o montante, ele automaticamente ia tornar o preço dele tão alto (oferta e demanda), que ele simplesmente não conseguiria adquirir os 51. Por isso que digo que o PoS seria um algoritimo que depende menos de "fatores externos inesperados", pois ele depende quase totalmente do valor, posse e distribuição da própria crypto.
Como disse no começo não estou defendendo nenhum dos dois.
Legal. Eu vou juntar essas informações e fazer um tópico específico sobre esse tema, pois aqui é de hashgraph Criei um de Proof of work mas ngm deu bola, está na aba iniciantes. |

izhaqblues, Muito obrigado pela sua pesquisa. Fiquei até pensando sobre isso, postei sem pesquisar direito sobre as moedas. Na minha opinião sua pesquisa reforçou a tese que eu expus (que não é minha) de que toda moeda que propos "melhorias " ao código do bitcoin fracassou. Mas cada um vê o que quer. E outra, se alguma moeda fizer uma "melhoria" ao código do BTC, se for realmente uma melhoria, o BTC vai e implementa tb. BTC é o rei não tem jeito. rsrs Porque você não compra um pouco de Peercoin e Namecoin, se são tão bons? As duas tem na cryptopia e na Poloniex, boas exchanges  Em retribuição a sua pesquisa, irei responder com mais informações de qualidade. Acho que esse discurso de "tecnologia superior" não é o caminho certo, pois existe espaço para várias tecnologias nesse mercado. Assim como existe espaço para o Android, Windows, Mac, Linux etc, tb teremos espaço para o Bitcoin com Proof of Work, Ethereum Casper com Proof of Stake, Iota com Direct Acyclic Graphs... Cada um terá um propósito específico, embora no meio do caminho a maioria fique para trás, como já aconteceu antes.
bitmover entendo os seus pontos mas ao meu ver... os seus exemplos contribuiram contra o que voce disse. entao vamos ao meu ver onde voce falhou: 1 - comparar a Namecoin o bitcoin. o projeto namecoin senao me engano foi a primeira Cripto depois do bitcoin.. inclusive da pra mineira BTC e namecoin ao mesmo tempo, asics tem suporte nativo a isso... veja as características, não é clonagem? quanto ao projeto em si ao meu ver falhou devido a exigir extensoes para poder prover acesso no navegador.. enfim nao faz sentido hoje. mas devido a esse projeto ser "igual" ao bitcoin ele nunca irá morrer.. Cara esse projeto tá aos frangalhos, fala sério. Falei brincando não compre isso. Ele tem com 20 milhões de marketcap. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/namecoinEle propunha uma melhoria em relação ao bitcoin, com uma tecnologia superior a censura, DNS e tal, como está mostrando na própria imagem que você mostrou... Não foi pra frente.. 2 - conhece uma coisinha chamada Proof of Stake?
advinha qual foi o primeiro projeto a implementar isso??
sim o Peercoin:
dentre varias caracteristicas em comum como o btc a peercoin diferente do mostra a imagem abaixo:
-snip-
e outro ponto é que POS surgiu em discursoes no BItcoin core, tem inclusive menções disso no White Paper da peercoin...
entao essa moeda mudou a forma de alguns pensarem sobre criptomo, pena que cada um entende POS de um jeito.
A maior polêmica envolvendo PoS e PoW é o seguinte: - Quem defende PoW, fala que PoS leva a centralização, pois novos players só podem entrar caso alguem venda seu stake. Então se um clube tiver 51% das moedas, já era e ninguem mais tem poder sobre a rede a nao ser que eles vendam pra outros players.
No PoW mesmo que os chineses tenham 51% da mineração, a qualquer dia os Russos, por exemplo, podem comprar mais maquinas e tirar o status de 51% deles, mesmo que eles nao vendam suas maquinas.
Outra coisa, Proof of Work também é Proof of Stake, pois no proof of work você está apostando (Staking) energia elétrica e processamento de computação, ativo do mundo real de FORA do blockchain. Algo que tem valor intrinseco mesmo fora do sistema. Porém PoS não é PoW.
- Quem defende PoS diz que o PoS reduz o risco de centralização (como o cartel formado por mineradoras), reduz ganhos em escala, reduz custos com eletricidade, reduz custos de transações, e pode gerar deflação (o que não necessariamente é bom. Caso não saiba, Ethereum não tem nem Hardcap (limite de emissão de moedas)).
O grande problema em relação ao POS é o que o mesmo nunca foi testado em larga escala. As moedas que usam PoS nunca tiveram grande volume, o primeiro será o Ethereum, e ninguem sabe como nem quando vai sair o Casper. O caso do Peercoin é interessante, justamente pq propôs algo novo e morreu. Como falei, a descentralização do PoW pode ser combatida, mas como será feito esse combate ao PoS? Existem métodos citados nesse artigo que mencionei, mas e prática?? Quando Ethereum instituir o Casper, aí saberemos se PoS vai dar certo mesmo, ou se Ethereum vai perder o que restou de sua descentralização. Como vi uma vez Antonopoulos explicando, um projeto Centralizado pode parecer a mesma coisa no começo, mas com o tempo ele se mostrará diferente. Bitcoin nunca será PoS. Bitcoin precisa ser decentralizado. mesmo que Ethereum vire uma plataforma multi empresas e kct com marketcap superior, bitcoin é a internet do dinheiro. Moeda global. tem que ser decentralizado. |

I found something interesting for this old question. This question really got my attention at the time it was first posted, but i didn't knew anything about it at the time. I just read about it in the book Mastering Bitcoin (Antonopoulos). As have nobody to talk about it I will post here. Okay. Here's my question:
Question 9.5: Pretend I own a large business that sells physical items, with all orders being sold online. Tell me about the benefits and drawbacks of accepting Bitcoin for my business. I reside in and pay taxes in Canada.
Now that I'm thinking about it, there are so many more drawbacks of running a large store that accepts Bitcoin... You've got my brain working in overtime now, and all these thoughts keep popping into my head lol. Automation, being one of them. You'd have to hire developers to make an automated payment and fulfillment system, such as the ones that are used by existing fiat payment processors. This comes with a high-cost, as you'd have to have a custom build, or use existing companies like BitPay or Blockonomics. Custom builds will cost thousands of dollars to develop, and you have to put a lot of trust in the dev not to backdoor your code. Using bitcoin payment processors, in turn, means that there are, in fact, fees for your bitcoin payment transactions. All of this talk can't be for no good reason. DarkStar_, do you run an online retailer that accepts Bitcoin, or are you thinking of starting one? I'm quite interested lol I was reading about deriving child keys, and then I found about Extended Public Keys (xpub). This may be pretty basic stuff but I just learned about them now. Extended Public Keys can be used to create child public keys (only public keys). This kind of key can generate infinite child public keys and public addresses, but none private key. In this case they are very useful. You can install the extended public key on a web server, online, and leave your extended private key in a offline wallet. If you are going hire developers, you could give them only the xpub, so there would be no way for them to steal your money. Antonopoulos even talks about Mycelium Gear (I never used it), a program which could generate an unique address for every purchase on the online store. I think the whole process of accepting bitcoin in a big store may not be so complicated after all. One additional step for security: Extended public keys can be used to generate private keys if a SINGLE private key is leaked. There is way to avoid this. There is also something called Hardened derivation. If xpub are generated from a hardened parent, the leak of a private key is not a risk anymore. I am still learning, just read about it. Tell me if something is wrong. |

That's why I think that the way of learning english or any other language is school is not that good. You don't learn to speak or write reasonable things. Back in high school we've learning to recognize tenses and whatnot, but whoever develpoed some talking/writing skilss, he developed them from movies, music, online videogames,etc... You'll learn more from that imo, if you just pay a little attention to it.
This i true. I learned a lot in videogames. I wanted to play RPG games when I was a kid and I needed to understand a least something lol Movies are also very good for listening skills... |

I think he should try this, but a new device may not solve the problem. The coins are not physically inside the device, but in the blockchain. and he doesnt know the private or the mnemonic seed. the best case scenario is that he knows the seed but the keys are in another address which he couldn't find yet. If that happens he could restore it in any wallet. If the words are incorrect, or if the coins are not in that mnemonic phrase's derived addresses for some reason, a new device will not help. |

bitmover,amazing initiative. But I really don't think alot of users shitposters are even bothering to read it. I would suggest you to change the topic to : " Earn merit for free,by doing this simple task",and just see what happens. Idiots would come begging to you  . Did almost what you said lol I think the topic name is more appropriate now |

Qual o critério para declarar melhor? Melhor aqui para o fórum local? Ou melhor do fórum inteiro.
A Lauda, simplesmente colocou um monte de gente aqui da aba local na lista SMAS (inclusive eu) só porque faziamos posts aqui na aba local na finada campanha da Bitmixer (que não tinha nenhuma restrição a post local). Felizmente o nem o próprio yahoo liga pra lista dela e me aceita nas campanhas normalmente, na minha opinião ele é o melhor gerente, nunca falhou em nada comigo. Continuando na Lauda, pode ver várias reclamações sobre ela lá na gringa, inclusive sobre ter várias contas alt e vender contas no fórum também.
O Luptin não posso afirmar nada sobre porque geralmente ele não aceita a galera fora do grupinho dele e está gerenciando até poucas campanhas por agora.
O meu critério é que elas simplesmente pagam mais, e pagam em BTC. E tem gerente confiáveis. Pra mim sao as melhores do forum inteiro. Pelo que vi rapidamente nenhuma tem restrição de posts locais, mas precisa de alguma quantidade la fora. Olha a chipmixer por exemplo. paga o dobro do que qualquer campanha de token, e ainda paga em btc. Todas essas que eu mostrei pagam bem... Nao vi nenhum aoutra que pague mais que essas, se souber por favor poste aqui. Mas de repente a pessoa prefere entrar numa campanha que pague menos e seja de um token que ela acredita que vá valorizar... Fiz um edit no post de cima indicando a minnha campanha atual, que é bem bacana pra quem quiser ir pras gringas escrever la. |

He has paid 0.05 btc to have his account reinstated. This means that he believes that he can earn far more than that from his membership, and that must be from posting low value spam comments. Somehow, we need to stop this destruction of the forum, and make it uneconomic.
I don't get how can someone pay anything to shitposters. This will not last long, this makes no sense. |
