I have been working for a long time but now I am having trouble working because of my position, so please help me.

Yeah... spamming the forum non-stop for months with your quote pyramids and social media links doesn't constitute "work".

I'm putting you on ignore for begging for merit. Try reading something for a change.

They are currently flipping back and forth and have been for most of the day.

XRP has overtaken ETH several times before, most recently in January this year, and then again in May last year. And then of course for the first several months after ETH was first launched when XRP was in the number 2 spot.

And I can't understand why they opened Bitcoincashtalk.org.

For the exact same reason they go around calling "Bitcoin Cash" "Bitcoin", and calling "Bitcoin" "Bitcoin Core". They know they can't stand on their own merits, so they have to piggy-back on a successful project.
15244  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: UNICEF is now accepting donations in Bitcoin and 8 altcoins on: September 21, 2018, 12:35:55 PM
You are a little wrong. They also accept all tokens on Ethereum (ou tokens ERC20)

This is indicated in the list. It turns out they take thousands of currencies and believe in their future)

Accepting donations in a currency =/= believing in its future. I would call it a stretch to say that UNICEF "believes in the future" of all ERC20 tokens when the vast majority of them are trash.

I mean, I doubt they'd go through the trouble of accepting these things if they thought there was no future in them. There's no reason to go through the trouble of accepting cryptocurrency if you think it's a fad that will die in a year or two.

I was talking specifically about ERC20 tokens, not all cryptocurrencies. However, if you have an account with Binance or any other major altcoin exchange, it is trivial to accept most cryptos regardless of whether or not you believe in them. You can accept trash like BCH and scams like EOS, knowing full well you can immediately sell them for Bitcoin, which is actually worth something and which you can actually use. Same goes for the vast majority of ERC20 tokens.

Most ICOs are scams and most altcoins don't have a working product or a feasible route to getting one. Spending your money on these projects is simply gambling - they aren't worth anything, let alone the millions of dollars some are valued at. You are relying on future newbies to sell to in order to make a profit.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, is a working product and is used in the real world. Its price is based on growth and adoption, not pure speculation. It's the best bet, rather than throwing away your money on some scam.
15247  Other / Meta / Re: Latest drivel on bitcoin.com about bitcointalk.org on: September 21, 2018, 09:13:21 AM
I know in the past they have become upset that their posts about their trash altcoin have been moved out of the Bitcoin section and to the Altcoin section where they belong. In their world that is "censorship" because BCH is "the real Bitcoin".  Roll Eyes

Is explicitly told the reason he was banned.

Starts a new topic asking why he was banned.

Just newbie things.

Many of your list, including all 6 of the top 10 who aren't merit sources, appear on my list of likely abusers here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5031341.

Please report any other suspicious users on that thread.

Is it possible to just split this patrol page for Bitcoin board and for everything 'Other'?

See my post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5032923.msg45916146#msg45916146

It's not quite what you're asking, but you can see all recent posts from the Bitcoin board only.

This is happening pretty much on a daily basis now. This is one of the most amateur projects I think I've ever seen. You would have to be insane to continue to buy this coin.

If you've seen advertisements or forums about bounties, they probably sound like you are searching for treasure like a pirate – but in a way, that is almost true. Bounties are simply jobs, tasks, or projects that have usually been created by coin developers. If you complete the job, then you will receive a reward in coin form.

It's bad, even he can plagiarize just to earn a merit to get promoted, unacceptable

He's been banned. Report the thread for locking.
15254  Other / Meta / Re: Plagiarism is on the rise - be vigilant. on: September 20, 2018, 11:26:36 AM
Saw a half decent post from a newbie that wasn't plagiarism - or at least, I couldn't detect it. Before I merited, decided to do a quick check of their post history. Their very last post before that one was plagiarism. Sigh. I think I'm on about 20 plagiarism reports just this morning.
15255  Other / Meta / Re: Does enhanced newbie rule give the expected result? on: September 20, 2018, 11:24:21 AM
I checked your posts - 3 pages of bounty shit before I got bored..

so as a previous bounty fuck, you were just on the forum to make money, yet you can put a post like this together.. My question, why didn't you try this hard before young Pajeet?

He's a plagiarizer. Archived and reported here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.msg45938003#msg45938003

Seriously, when will these morons learn to stop drawing attention to themselves. Enjoy your ban, OP.

Here are three reasons why Bitcoin could be a great investment today:
*Instability is good for Bitcoin. In general, political unrest is not good for the stock market -- whose value is tied to established companies that depend on government services, stable financial institutions, a dependable workforce and so on. However, unrest is good for Bitcoin, which is resilient to political unrest because it is not a government-backed currency. There's evidence that recent unrest in Asia contributed to the Bitcoin price surge. If you think the future holds more instability for governments and traditional banks, you might find Bitcoin to be a compelling investment.
*It's easy. Investing in Bitcoin in the hope of taking advantage of future price increases is as simple as buying Bitcoin on an online exchange. Bitcoin transactions are subject to few regulatory oversights, which makes transactions fast and headache-free.
*It's low-cost. Bitcoin exchange fees are minimal -- usually on the order of 0.2% of the value of a transaction. By comparison, U.S. banks usually charge about 3% in fees when you use a credit card to buy something in foreign currency. If you want to speculate on currency, Bitcoin offers a cost-efficient way to do it.

Accepting donations in a currency =/= believing in its future. I would call it a stretch to say that UNICEF "believes in the future" of all ERC20 tokens when the vast majority of them are trash. But if they can sell them for Bitcoin or fiat, then sure, donate away.

They also provide links on that page so you can mine on their behalf.
15258  Other / Meta / Re: Plagiarism is on the rise - be vigilant. on: September 20, 2018, 11:02:46 AM

Thanks for that. I usually take a sentence or two from the post and just drop it in to Google surrounded by quotes, but there have been some posts I'm 99% sure are plagiarized that have given me no results. Just tested your site on the last 4 or 5 reports I made and it picked up every one - I'll use it in the future.
15259  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hacker stole $200k from an application on the EOS blockchain on: September 20, 2018, 10:49:37 AM
The second EOS hack this week, after $600,000 was stolen a few days ago: https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2018/09/another-smart-contract-hack-eos-dice-game-pays-single-user-600k-over-36-hour-period/

And there was another EOS hack just a few days before that: https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2018/09/10/eos-betting-platform-hacked/

Honestly, EOS is a joke. Apparently it's not bad enough to just be a centralized scam entirely designed to make profit for the Block Producers, but it's a completely unsecure centralized scam at that. Seriously, who is still buying this trash?

It would seem that many of the deranked newbies, instead of learning a little bit about the forum and trying to make a single good post, have just resorted to frank plagiarism instead. Can't say I'm surprised. I've reported (and mods have banned) 10+ new topics in just the last hour or so, all from newbies with 200+ posts and 0 merit, that were just straight copy-and-paste jobs.

I would encourage everyone to turn on "Show post count" (Profile - Forum Profile Information - Show post count by posts). If you see anything well written by a newbie with lots of posts and zero merit, be suspicious of plagiarism - if they had been writing well for hundreds of posts, chances are they would have been merited by now. More often than not their entire post history is one-line spam and bounty reports until 2 days ago.
