I watched a lecture on that topic some time ago. It said that the main thing about password is in its length and the randomness of the used words. They said something like: sunnyflyuingpotatoesholiday is aslmost as hard to crack as the ones with symbols and numbers. Don't know if it's true, but the lecture was persuasive)
Adding some numbers, capitalization, and special characters is usually a good idea, see above graphic. |

Is the US dollar the real dollar, or is the Canadian dollar the real dollar?

This is useless without the password. I actually think selling encrypted wallets to newbies who don’t understand how impossible the task is should amount to being called a scammer...
Do not buy this. You’re better off trying to find the private key for a wallet with millions in it. For all you know the password on this wallet could be longer than a private key!
If anyone decides to buy this file, are you ready to provide guarantor services? File transfer and money? After I tell them they’re being shwindled, if they accept the inevitability of failure with the task and want to proceed with escrow, I would be willing to assist in a safe transfer for the buyer’s sake. However, my preference would be that the forum shuns this practice and going forward those attempting such sales are marked as untrustworthy. |

Thanks for your contributions Bobby. Can you shed any light on if the recent forum bullying had anything to do with this decision? Perhaps this could be a teachable moment for the community.

There isn't room for them to slide much further. With all the forked coins they're holding, it appears some of them may be selling for at or even below their value! With talk of BCH possibly forking soon, and people beginning to realize the value of legacy bitcoins, I suspect premiums have only up to go once the weak hands have finished folding (more true for the lower value brass coins than the others).

I know I am a newbie and my opinion doesn't mean shit, but I don't think this will work.
There are a lot of ways to get 1 or even 10 merits and after that no one even cares about shitposting or even getting their account banned. Cause they've done what they wanted to do.
This is my humble suggestion: :
Have a MAXIMUM number of activities or posts for junior and Member ranked profiles in Bitcointalk per week or month.
I see people with 200+ activities and only one merit that they probably bought/scammed someone to get. THESE accounts are the real shitposters.
This is an interesting idea. I don't think it should be restricted to only the lower accounts, but should perhaps be more focused on limiting the creation of new threads as opposed to responding to topics. There are plenty of higher level accounts spamming the forum with new threads in an attempt to garner attention and earn merit also. |

Why not use your musical talents to offer services in exchange for crypto?
Perhaps you could write/record little jingles for other services/websites around here?

People were paying 1.6 BTC for the 0.1 BTC silver cas coins not that long ago... Obviously premiums have dropped substantially in BTC terms. Luckily, valuing things in BTC over lengths of time is a fools errand due to the volitility. Using something like gold or fiat would tell the valuation story much more accurately.
At least for me, I thought they were a great innovation and I wanted to own them. Very few people have even been able to build on that innovation today. I can think of no Bitcoin memorabilia I’d rather own and in spite of the price in BTC terms falling, leading some to ignorantly proclaim losses, my Casascius coins are still one of the top 3 performing investments I’ve ever made. The only unexpected part to me, was just how valuable they would become so quickly.

While creating rules for bounty managers is probably contrary to the forum’s mission, theymos himself posted asking for more professionals to enter the space, seemingly acknowledging the need for higher standards and better accessibility. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4355524.0 |

Sounds like merit fines that could accompany account suspensions. An interesting idea, but I’m not sure it would be viewed as worth the effort.

An odd post as winter approaches... Go ahead and run your heater. I'll keep mining. I would agree that if you are mining strictly to sell immediately for a profit, you're gonna have a bad experience. However, if you're mining to get a higher return from an excess of electricity, willing to wait for the right time to sell, to produce heat, to earn BTC without registering for an exchange, or simply as a hobby to support the network, it is both commendable and profitable.
As I have said several times on this forum... The most profitable BTC I ever mined, was the BTC I mined when it was unprofitable to do so.

He won't be given one....for political reasons. That is not to say that he doesn't deserve one.
He deserves the developer badge, and he has it. He doesn’t deserve a VIP rank because he didn’t donate 50 BTC to the forum. I don’t think it’s political at all. I’m sure if he donated 50 BTC he would be given VIP status like everyone else. |

That’s the thing, it wasn’t a loan. He said he would sell goods and then disappeared once he got paid. After being given negative trust and presumably realizing he cannot get paid for signature campaigns, suddenly he repaid and demands to have his account trust restored.
This is not for the signature campaign, but I just want to maintain a good repo here. Then you should start with accepting responsibility for your actions. You continuing to proclaim your innocence here instead of acknowledging wrongdoing will never get you any sympathy from me. [ INNOCENT PROVED] This is a flat out lie. You are not innocent. You are guilty. Understand? You repaid the stolen BTC, but what about amends? What about the USD value of the refund? What about acknowledging that you deprived someone of their funds likely causing emotional distress and potentially turning someone away from our community? You keep trying to be the victim here, and you are not. You are the culprit who has wasted now hours of my time and other community members' time with this nonsense, not including the victim's time to bring this scam to everyone's attention in order to see that you are brought to justice. |

How many scams are these guys going to pull? Granted my memory isn't the best, I'm no Sheldon Cooper, but I believe this is at least the 3rd scam Dave Carlson has pulled and the second scam Giga (Adam West?) has pulled. This is just what I've noticed from being a forum member for several years. No idea how many other scams they've been a part of. In any event, why are people still sending these guys money? Can anyone just do an ICO making ridiculous promises they won't keep and become an overnight millionaire? |

I use Blockfolio for iOS. Never tried Delta mentioned above but I’ve seen others say good things.

Nikki Haley’s name is being thrown around after her mysterious departure announcement.
Not sure if serious or trying to be funny, but I laughed either way, thanks! The mystery though!  I honestly didn’t think anyone would notice. |

Trade safely! The above posts are just an example of some of the shenanigans that occur around here.
