Well that charts explains that how crypto world is divided under centralised and decentralised control and only bitcoin and Monero are the coins with true decentralisation control and all other are shitcoins trading in the market in one way or other.

The crypto word is commonly derived from cryptography and encryption they use but most people confuse bitcoin and all other cryptos alike but there's lot of difference in them and only bitcoin is the coin giving your freedom of funds without any third-party involvement but people fail to understand it.This chart tells the categorisation but there's lot to learn about how the market is controlled if people can see it.

The heat conditions are bad in most countries where summer is at peak and device heating up is normal and in your case it's old laptop which can't withstand turning on continuously and have to be turned off due to heat they produce.But maybe you are lucky in some of slots that could help you to have a new gaming laptop 

So do you want to drop thousand dollars worth of giveaway on twitter that is 4-5x our McDonald's bill even if we eat too much? It's not one time giveaway and they are dropping out at frequent basis like other casino and we can't say this is not enough.The team needs to have proper fund management to survive in this market.Those who will win are lucky and happy while others will be not.

The businesses want to expand their customer base for more profits and each casino works in his way and we can't expect same from everyone and have your other casino raised the amounts Rollbit have through NFT sale? So they are not upset at all man.

In recent years there have been many complaints against Ledger wallets especially with the Model X and there are many accusations against them and as you have mentioned the main problem is battery issue as it's not charging properly like you can see in this video and just search for ledger battery issue and you will find lot of videos for them.

The security comprising is another issue like storing user data on third party software can lead to user information leak inviting scammers to them and cause phissing attacks eventually so avoid Ledger X model at the time.

Keeping them on CEX is like giving away your funds to them as you trust them but there's a miscommunication among people that if so many people funds are there they are also safe but the exchange have control over your funds and it's not safe at all which they need to realise.They act as bankers restricting you from using your funds and track you on government orders so what's the anonymity you are looking for with all the KYC norms? But still they like to keep them but keeping them on non custodial wallets is far better that don't have access to your funds directly.

As others have already pointed out that there's no way you are having the access of that account without signing the message and thread is also locked by your employee who was managing the account here on the forum.

But my question is if you have not made updations in five years what's now? If the employee is no longer with your company you have not taken the account access from him? Have you tried contacting anyone on the forum before through PM as you said trying to contact someone from here?

So the best way is to make the new announcement thread only as you have no option to have that account back and this is forum safety rule like assume it you have to prove ownership of the account you want back.

This topic has been discussed earlier also and the answer is the same that we can't accurately tell that based on gender proportion because you can't verify the information and we don't have tools to exactly find out this information.

If you have used search function you would have come across many threads like this one : Re: Stats question - Females in Bitcointalk? which will tell you the some of the ways you can find out this information.

You can check More stats of the forum although not sure they are updated or not or the post by DdmrDdmr in the thread mentioned above.

But suggestion is to use search function before creating the thread and simple way to do is :


Exactly and that's enough to bind us all as strongest bitcoin community so don't need to investigate about gender ratios and these don't matter at all.

There's always a big fish seems true in this case as for many you are going with quite a pace and for you merits brrr like @o_e_l_e_o quads are getting stronger being in cycling club 

There's only 1235 merits difference there and you can surpass him if he stops cycling at some point to relax  but don't worry you are right behind him.


So what about us? We might be reaching your current merit score at the same conditions seeing the future progress of the forum.

What merit cycling club are you talking about? Is it some sort of secret club ?

He will spend the merits in helping some more low rank members to reach their next rank but if those chips could be good to directly share your thoughts if you can't move your hands :

The bot army setup from people make it hard for the people to win but as the rule are simple of like and rt only trying is worth it because we are not spending or wagering something that we fear to loose but don't loose hope as you could be lucky at some point where you get your free amounts from these giveaways.

Yeah that's what I was also explaining above that you can use same things in your artwork but there's no possibility that the two artwork would be identical unless you try to copy someone's else artwork to present your entry.This is just a competition and try to be creative and submit whatever you have in mind and no need to be high profile artist to participate in these contest.

Congratulations on joining this 4k club but you are going with some very fast pace as you are going to have 4100 merits and only 13 are left and all this achieved in single day is pretty appreciable man.So take timely Screenshot for your 4100 merit tag or I willl try to accomplish the job.

So here is one more record and it's for our forum tech bitcoin geek and member of merit cycling club @o_e_l_e_o who has managed to complete another milestone and having these really cool numbers on his profile after @LoyceV :



11111 merits look really amazing and he has managed to reach these numbers really fast and with most earned merits on the forum so congratulations to him for the same achievement.

The same translated article was just one post above and he should have taken a look on the same page but as he said he might have overlooked it and posted his work and now have made announcement here about his translation.

So make a rule that every member who is going to translate any of your topic should make an announcement on this thread beforehand to avoid any confusions and they should be looking at the @OP to check in how many languages the article have been already translated as it's lot of work and double work should be avoided.

The Twitter account hacking is common practice we have seen in recent years and especially they are promoting some crypto related malicious links or scams to empty your wallets.Like in previous years we have seen Elon Musk account hacked and giving double doge for your deposit or Apple official account was promoting this add :



And if you want to see more then here is the list : Twitter account hijacking 20202

But the security at your end should not be compromised at all like :

You should not fall for such scams easily and do little research first of all

Don't be greedy like getting double amounts of what you submit to those addresses as there is nothing like this in world

What you see on the internet might not be true so try to find out the reality first of all.

Twitter has security for these accounts but you can see they take it down when there are some reports or they find something suspicious like account hack but you should be careful in these matters like why would British Army be involving in some NFT giveaway or crypto part as it sounds suspicious to me when I read it and that's security on your part.

Bumping up this thread after so many do many days to make the updations to the thread as there are lot of different merit stats for the members then yesterday also so now is the time to give you all an idea about how it's going.

Although I wanted to update this thread earlier only when our Italian bitcoin geek @fillippone surpassed @theymos in this race but didn't get time to make changes and observe the merit proportions due to some work IRL but today I got some spare one so decided to make this thread alive again.

So first of all congratulations to @fillippone for surpassing @theymos is this 10k merit race and now is 168 merits ahead of him in this race and going forward with the same pace very fast.See told you man that you would definitely be second one in this race and third one to sit on 10k merit throne keeping in mind @LoyceV also.

Now let's have some merit stats so the last update was 45 days back on 19^th May which is one and half month so there are lot of merit changes till then.

Merits gained by Members over past 45 days:



So you see how many merits all the contenders of this race have gained over past 45 days and leading them again is undoubtedly @fillippone with highest 518 merits in just time span of 45 days with an average of 11.5 merits daily which is amazing.

So here is list in ascending order for the members with their merits gained in these days :


So now you see how well the members are doing in this race but you see they are making effective contributions on the forum which is helping them to gain merits at such pace and you can all check their post history to find out the true picture.

Merits left to reach 10k mark:

So now how much they are lagging to dethrone that 10,000 merit mark and join that legacy on the forum and this can be shown with the image below :



It's just a matter of time we are going to get another member from this list which will soon be out of list achieving the desired mark and he is top contender ATM @fillippone who is just 124 merits behind and taking into account his average it will be this month only so best wishes to him and all other members along with him.

Will be having an eye on all of your merit stats so keep up your work all of you

Have gone through your merit history and have found out that he has merited you last on May 2^nd and in the last 120 days he has given you 4 merits in total.You have been re-merited on two post with additional one merit from him under his merit spree :


But as you are saying it's not correct as he usually re-merits the post he have done in the past or we could say recently and some past post along with the new one's and he might be giving again to you so don't worry about it and keep your post quality high.

Have used his dashboard to fetch the merit information many times and there are so many ways we can utilise it but we have to explore it little bit and there is lot of information we can avail through it.Like we could see his merit sprees and the accounts he has given making past comparison could tell us the answers.

Oh here comes the prediction contest for which many were waiting to try their speculative approch and predict the prices for the last of July.So will analyse the market conditions and further price movements and place bets in accordance with it.

The whales have huge funds to support them these big wagers like have seen some of them wagering like quite a lot of bitcoins and 1BTC is very small amount for them.But you see they have accumulated them early at cheap rates and don't fear losing them and they have much more with them.

The Asian countries have extreme temperatures and summers breezes can take the temperature above 50°C also so you see the old laptop could not support it and have only short span of running while the fan stops and they heat up.So it could be case but sometimes with over playing also they heat up so to avoid any problem he might have stopped playing not a big deal.

The casino can't always have the promotion running as they need to do them in planned manner and effectively manage it in intersting way and Rollbit team is quite active and good at this so we don't need to worry about their marketing strategies.

Like see this tweet is 4 days old and they are giving away $250 as giveaway to random who like/rt it and along with it you can participate in event of the week to win the prizes so it's cool according to me.Big promotion and bonus will also come your way.

The poll is still visible on my end and can also submit my vote along with view results so can say it's active and working fine on my end as reflected in the image below:



So it might be problem on his end only and also don't have an detailed idea about poll working as have not created them so don't know what problem he might be facing in it.

They will never compromise their profits as they have set up buisness for the same purpose so LN channels are obstacles as well competition for them as it avoids the fees structure and they have to spend huge amounts on setting up infrastructure to avoid any bugs as single bug could lead to the loss of millions of funds of the users.But you see they have huge customer base and will not loose it fast until people become aware that how these chains are not safe rather than risky to have the funds over there.

The last report by glassnode about exchanges bitcoin utilisation was also showing the increased adoption of segwit integration on bitcoin protocol and your latest report also shows the same :



With FTX and coinbase having 100% of utilisation while the others having less of it and most famous exchange are having adequate SegWit adoption as clear from the images.

This is the case most of them trust seeing many storing their funds over these platforms like Binance but this doesn't imply the fund safety but the fact is many didn't realise it and are using their chains and pumping shit tokens high with huge portion of supply with centralised control and making them billionaire but we see increase number of people with them.

So you are interested in buying which altcoin specifically could you tell us through kucoin? There are lot of listed there and you could choose any trading pair like with BTC but make sure you have the right choice of coins as you are investing £200 for each of them for long term :

So if you are interested in having the information you have the links above or you could check it on YouTube for such videos for step by step guide like this one

But keep in mind that if you don't want to trade them then keeping them on exchange is very risky so it's better to have hardware wallet for them like Trezor or Ledger Nano but depending on the coin they support so make sure about it.

There were recent rumours about kucoin becoming insolvent but the CEO denied the rumours about it just letting you know so if you come across this information.

If there are no more additional benefits generated to the holders they will be selling at low prices also to make sure they get something out of it as you said $200 also but the team needs to expand the sportsbook and generate more revenue to share them among V2 holders so they stay in line.
