This meme is really fit for you

Although you've got negative feedback because they're think you've mismanage your old project e.g. bitlucy and casino critique, but I think you're already in good track since you've manage a lot campaigns and you're not scam any users. I don't see any intention if Royse777 could cause a financial losses due to his act for being honest as possible.

But only Poker Player can change his mind to revise the feedback, I hope there's will be a solution soon.

There's no reason for me to access this forum using phone because it's not friendly, hard to quote anyone posts and doesn't comfortable to write due to small keyboard.

Access this forum using device also not good for my privacy and security, anyone shouldn't use public internet connection or access this forum in near of your friend or stranger, they might know this forum and recognize you're a Bitcoin holder.

There's many ways to learn about Bitcoin, you just need to choose which one you're interested.

You can learn Bitcoin through video https://www.youtube.com/@aantonop
You can learn Bitcoin through books https://aantonop.com/books/iom/
You can learn Bitcoin through articles https://coindesk.com/learn

IMO it's better for you to learn the difference between Bitcoin and fiat first, when you're already know the reason, you wouldn't regret to invest in Bitcoin.

I still holding my coins and keep accumulating until the next bull run maybe at 2024-2025, after that I might sell half of my coins and then wait until bear market happen and then keep repeat it. Bitcoin is still become the most unique currency and there's nothing can replace Bitcoin for short time, so I expect the future will be on Bitcoin side regardless governments ban or not.

Today football's rumor transfers:

Goncalo Ramos to Manchester United
Jorginho to Napoli
Marcus Thuram to Chelsea
Matteo Guendouzi to Aston Villa
Formose Mendy to West Ham
Vincent Aboubakar to Besiktas

Only Aboubakar rumor is seems high likely will come true while the other the probability is still unknown which mean they might be interested with the other clubs.

I've collected a list about cyber security that the moderators often move the topic to off-topic board. I think those threads are deserve to be placed in new board either cybersecurity or hardware and software security, it's really bad to be placed in off-topic board where it's full of non sense thread like what's the best music, how to live longer, do you have pet etc.

1. Password managers or passwords from memory
2. Bitcoin and Antiviruses
3. Computer and Phone Security Questions
4. How to detect fraudulent websites.
5. I think google is spying on us ,when our phones are in the room
6. The best note taking apps for Windows?
7. LastPass - Notice of Recent Security Incident
8. Recommended 2FA app for Windows 
9. What do you use for generating strong passwords?
10. Is my iPhone hacked?
11. Hackers exploit critical VMware flaw to drop ransomware & miners
12. What about a smartphone keyboard 
13. Are they set a broker in my pc and stealing my data ? 
14. [Warning]: Password Manager LassPass has been breached, accessed customer data 
15. Probably a childish question 
16. Privacy frontends for popular services (yt, reddit, twitter, fb, insta, etc)
17. I Always Use 12 to 20 Characters Long Password 🔑 For my accounts
18. Do not rely on your OS security 
19. Hackers stolen Last Pass users passwords and sensitivw information
20. Copy link to clipboard - Nifty app for android 
21. Passwords - 8 characters at least, lower, upper, number, symbol

Sometime I think rather than this topic get moved to off-topic board, why it's not moved to serious discussion board?

To be honest there's many threads in serious discussion board are full of non sense thread and many people doesn't care with it since the signature isn't visible, so the board get less traffic.

Rather than serious discussion almost get abandoned, I would say it's better for the administrators too enable signature space on that's board, so it will increase the traffic and moderators can just increase the minimum quality or strict rules just like Bitcoin technical discussion board.

Although I'm not a moderator nor admin, but I think maybe it's because you're asking graphic designers to join your contest while you've quoted their name on your post.

I think they're aware with the contest but they just choose not to join it.

Thanks @OP I'm not aware if this forum has such feature, also hide user's avatar and signature too.

For me, turn off the new replies isn't good because posting in this forum isn't a competition to create the fastest post, you're need to create a high quality post and if there's user who beat you above, it mean you need to review his post and if he wrote something wrong, you can correct it.

I think if there's above member who have same opinion with your post, you're shouldn't to post it since it just make spam in this forum.

Does "first come first serve" is a culture in bounties? it's really bad since it just proving the manager don't care with the user's quality post and other thing before choosing him to promote the project.

Because when you get merited by X, it will increase the possibility you merit him back even though his post is just common sense or have same point with the other user. I don't think I'm wrong with this, anyone can easily spot it.

That's why I said it's need a decision from administrators or mods, but I don't think they will want to handle that because "scam" didn't even get moderated in this forum.

@OP although it's better if we don't know which user send his own sMerit and people also doesn't know which one send him merit, but it will increase of abusing merit.

Example: you have 5 accounts and then you share sMerit with your each alts, does anyone know if you're abusing the merit system? No. Only theymos and Cyrus might know since they're an administrators.

It will increase the administrators work, so I don't think they will keep watching and moderating the merit flows between each account.


It doesn't make sense to have thumb up and merit in the same time, someone need to click thumb up and giving merit which is double work for merit sources.

If you mean thumb up is merit and thumb down is demerit, there's few people have made proposal about it, but it seems really hard to implemented, abused etc.

If you see a good post and don't have any sMerit just create report in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5093271.0

Thank you very much, I've add, delete and do some modify on the BBCode

Lol I don't expect any user will create such kind thread to be honest since there's no rewind 2021, 2020 and older.

Thanks for your input, it's done

Yeah it's maybe one of biggest case in this forum because AFAIK there's no case about charity that run by trusted users, but since it's happen on end of the year 2021, I didn't include it. Here's the thread Bitcointalk Charity and its funds.

I hope you will get your local board in the next year, so I can add it on my Rewind 2023 thread

Honestly I don't have a strict rules to count it as a "big event", but I take a consideration through combination of few criteria like:
1. Received a lot of merit.
2. Has many pages and the discussion has carry some weight.
3. A new thing and development to the forum.
4. It has a relation with Bitcointalk users.
5. Popular and trusted user or service that operated in this forum.

Thanks for the suggestion, if I have a free time I will try to improve it

First I want to say Happy New Year for Bitcointalk fellows, it's already 2023 and we need to be better for every year. However last year there were many things happen in this forum and I want to compile it in this thread especially the big events. Maybe you guys were forget what's happening on this forum in 2022, so I would like to make you remember about the past events. Here I will present: Bitcointalk Rewind 2022!

January 31, 2022	|	It's started from Unofficial report badge created by mprep where theymos have a plan to create it since 2018 but there's still no official implementation about the reporter badge.

February 7, 2022	|	Ratimov have been revealed if he already made 100,000 good reports from July 2019 to Feb 2022, it's really a big numbers and I wonder how he can be very active to report those bunch of low value posts since it would be time consuming. Although he get 562 bad reports, but his statistic is 100% which mean very close to 100% so the forum rounded the amount. Would be Ratimov become the next moderator?	|	My contribution to the fight against low-value posts

March 13,2022	|	LTC Casino is a scam casino that allow their gamblers to play without KYC and using VPN. Many people was welcome about this casino and interested to gamble because most of casinos in this forum are licensed, not allow VPN and mandatory KYC. Based on my observations, users in this forum are have high privacy, so they're trying to avoid gamble on KYC casino. But bad thing happen on this casino after someone create accusations thread and the money they scammed is really high for 1496 LTC or worth for $15,000 at that time. The casino block the victim account and they said it's under investigation, but provider of the gambling said they found nothing. Although it's already resolved, but it took for around 6 months to solve it.	|	LTC Casino Resolved

Now there's an on going voting for community awards 2022, so for users who haven't vote, you should vote ASAP before it's already closed (including me ).	|	[Results 2021] Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆

March 26, 2020	|	The forum seem to littered with congratulatory threads marking success of attaining a new rank. BitcoinGirl.Club thought it wise to create a mega thread to reduce the increasing number of users who create new threads for every new rank they get.	|	Announce your rank up, merit or any achievements that makes you feel great!

April 1, 2022	|	April fools'! merit implementation isn't really perfect way to combat against shitposter, now theymos require IQ testing to make it's more strict and only a good poster who can complete this verification. Based on the statistic not many users can able to reach 160 points, it's mostly a Chipmixer participants who able to reach it.	|	IQ testing now required before posting.

April 24, 2022	|	There's a hacker who attack chipmixer.com, transactions on April 24, 2022 may get compromised. However it's already resolved and the site back to online, but the site is only for information to use Tor network to prevent from possible kind attack in the future. There's nothing should be worried until now, as long as there's no sanction from U.S. to mixer.	|	Attack on Chipmixer.com

May 22, 2022	|	It's already become a tradition in this forum for users bake their own pizza to celebrate Bitcoin pizza day on May 22. What make it different than the previous years is, the winner will get pizza badge and share of 5 mBTC. The top 5 winners are fillippone, icopress, EFS, Phoenix Anka, and xzone. All of them got pizza badge, but it seems only fillippone will carry the badge for a year, while the others are only short times.	|	[Bitcointalk Party - Discord sv] Bitcoin Pizza bake-off contest!

June 11, 2022	|	Bitlucy is a casino get promoted and handled by reputable manager in this forum, they run a signature campaign and run a free bet promotion too. Many people welcome in very positive since they feel the casino wouldn't scam since the manager is risking his own reputation. But there's many complaints towards this casino especially the withdrawal delay, after that it turns the casino is scam and the manager who promote the casino also get scammed since he has no way to access the bankroll. In this matter there's a drama between Royse777 vs JollyGood and yahoo62278.	|	Bitlucy withdrawal problem, does this acceptable?

July 17, 2022	|	Gianluca95 as a campaign manager promoting shady site e.g. shaker.finance where the representative self claim it's a trusted Bitcoin mixing service. However based on some research it found the representative can't give a proof if they're trusted and continuously attacking users who disagree with their opinions. But based on the signature campaign, the manager wrote if he doesn't have affiliated with this site, so he doesn't get red tagged	|	Green trusted user vouching for shady site.

August 8, 2022	|	It was started from Bitlucy case, but there's a heat between BitcoinGirl.Club and JollyGood since they have different opinion about it. First BitcoinGirl.Club leave red tag to JollyGood and then JollyGood leave red tag to BitcoinGirl.Club, since BitcoinGirl.Club think he doesn't deserve to get red tag, he open a thread to ask to the communities. However the result is JollyGood revised his feedback from negative to neutral while BitcoinGirl.Club still stand with his negative feedback	|	BitcoinGirl.Club vs JollyGood drama.

August 22, 2022	|	Most users using Preev to convert their Bitcoin to fiat, it's simple and real time based, so it's very useful to send Bitcoin with the most accurate amounts. But Preev has been down for two times in this year and then a user in this forum create Pnnv that work iike Preev. However Preev is already back online, honestly I don't know if people that usually use Preev is migrating to Pnnv or still stick with Preev.	|	[ANN] Preev is down, Im happy to announce the official launch of Pnnv.com

September 9 2022	|	Probably the best forum improvement in this year since we can easily distinguish between the original poster and forum posters, usually an original poster will make a post which like moderation and trying to keep the discussion on topic. Usually I'm more focus to read the @OP replying rather than the whole posts because original poster only replying to a new opinion, so I only need to read few paragraph to sum the conclusion rather than read the same opinions over and over.	|	Identifying the OP at a glance (SMF patch).

October 7, 2022	|	The first Bitcoin pumpkin carving contest, this is a creative idea to celebrate Halloween day and there's many users are very talented in carving, it's not easy since pumpkin's skin is really tough.

October 7, 2022	|	There's many articles spreading FUD about Bitcoin Proof Of Work since they claim Bitcoin mining used a lot energy and it will increase pollution, so they're suggest to change POW to POS. But Proof Of Stake will kill 100% Bitcoin decentralization, also Bitcoin mining doesn't really use a lot energy and cause a lot pollution, because there's a renewable energy can be used. However there's a forum user, name NotATether has an idea to create this excellent project to combat against the idea to change Bitcoin protocol. It get a lot support by add this project to forum factoid and a charity signature campaign.	|	Do you want a BitcoinCleanup factoid?

But after he's back, someone found him if he's a complete liar since he's connected with his alt account that already get banned.

November 22, 2022	|	Because of the FTX bankruptcy and people are still holding their coins on centralized exchange, so a petition about withdraw your coins on every exchanges is really important. No doubt people are still leave their coins on the exchange because they think wallet and exchange are same, also there's an exchange offer SAFU or insured funds which they think their funds will be safe. But I think sooner or later every centralized exchanges will bankrupt, the difference is only about the time will happen	|	[PETITION] Create a "Get your funds out of exchanges" in Important Announcements.
