If anything, we need to spread out the motive that the average user does not need to understand how the underlying technology works exactly. They only need to know that it works. The same applies to the current monetary system, as I'm sure that the majority do not know how it works exactly. Even if we simplify the roadmap, it won't help much. An ELI5 to 'almost' every major change such as Segwit might help though.

Well, that was unexpected.

They barely understand what a lightbulb is.

Meanwhile, another attack in progress (notices high bandwidth usage for my node so went to check):

I don't think that will work either. Even if you just tell them, we're going to build X that will increase capacity to Y, they will start asking questions. If you keep answering these questions, eventually you're going to come to more complex ones that require technical answers. Such people will stop understanding somewhere along the way.

There is also this. Well, almost nobody.

Indeed.

I doubt it, there are only so many even today.

There have been various rank suggestions so far, but theymos does not feel like another rank is necessary at the moment. Maybe sometime in the future indeed.

I've heard this too many times. I do have to say:
1) Wrong section. Move such threads to the speculation section.
2) Calm down.
If you set your expectations to high you will surely get disappointed.

This would be a very 'stupid' "big event" You should not care about the identity of Satoshi.

Doge up 11%.

Well, I can't say for sure but I know that several suggestions (in regards to solving/mitigating the problem) have been declined.

Correct, I dislike the current situation as well. If you have any suggestions in mind in order to solve it without banning signature campaigns altogether, please do make a thread about it (@everyone).

That is definitely the wrong word.

Did you read the remaining part of my post?

Even if we could make these changes, we can't do it without approval. In other words, staff members can not do anything about it.

The staff can't really do anything about it (aside from "hunting" down signature campaign spammers, but this 'fight' has been going on for too long). The administration makes the decisions. I've even attempted to get signature campaign managers punished, but my attempt was obviously not successful. I'm pretty certain that most of the staff members are aware of the problem, the only difference is the stance that these members have towards the problem (some voice their opinion strongly, while others don't).

In some cases 'significantly lost value' is an understatement.

How about telling him to stop? Those thread are usually very useless and just a pit full of signature spam (i.e. posts that have near zero thought behind them).

So you're saying that the problem is inherent to "bitcointalkers"?

I concur. Sometimes this can be very 'annoying' as one can't even understand the other person at all. This makes one wonder why they even post in the first place.

What are you talking about, the manga? If you're talking about Nefertari Vivi then it does not make sense as there was no indication of her after Albasta.

While the forum might not be finished, it is certainly working. You don't know what you're talking about.

The envy is strong.

It is just money, right?

You're talking about Coinbase right? Well, theoretically it can happen with any exchange and I know of at least 1 case on Kraken. However, I would recommend Bitstamp. I've been using it for years and have never had any problems. As long as you don't act 'suspiciously' you should be fine.

You know what your next group buy needs to be, right? Seems like a decent amount of people already want these coins!

I say that this is false. It is mainly due to the fact that being ignorant and lazy is easier.

Correct. Bitcoin has proven itself to be working and currently unbreakable. Trusting the math behind it right now is no different than trusting that 2+2 = 4 (if one could phrase it this way). Besides, even if you'd explain the math to people, I'm certain that less than 1% would understand it.

Your post does not make sense. How about punctuations?

Two things:
1) Wrong section.
2) Wrong place in general. I don't think that you will find a good opportunity here, but you can try. I think that this thread should work in the services section.
If I understood this correctly, you're offering to host someone else's hardware rather than hosting their software on your hardware, right?

It depends on things such as the price and trust (e.g. how can one be sure that you won't manipulate anything at the hardware level?).

Reason: Duplicate.

You're asking a difficult question right here, albeit I could say that it is a good one. Basically, if you take a look at the speculation section for example you will encounter a lot of people that are really desperate for money (the altcoin section is worse, i.e. people that hope for another 'rise' similar to the one with Bitcoin). I can't give you an exact answer, but in any case you should not make a faulty generalization.

It has become horrible indeed. However, there are still some people that are signature campaign participants and make genuine posts.

If there is ever one for Europe, count me in. I'm interested in them as well. Posted just for reference.
