Did I give you this idea?

The quote is the wrong way around now.
1563  Other / Meta / Re: Is the altcoin section the biggest (in the amount of storage capacity needed) on: September 16, 2018, 06:25:36 AM
Excluding quotes, I count about 60 MB and 50k+ posts per day on the forum as a whole.
Take this as a ballpark figure, my guess would be the forum take a few times more space than the full Bitcoin Bockchain.
1564  Other / Meta / Re: sMerit participants – a worrying descending trend (!/?) on: September 16, 2018, 06:09:30 AM
What is a big question mark for me is what could happen with all the sMerit from the initial airdrop that has not been put into their first circulation at any point. The quantity of such is way above what has actually been awarded in total so far, so that is a potential pool of merit abuse that can be slowly leaked into the system at any time… or not. It’s just that there is a lot from the airdrop that is stalled, and you never know how it could be played with if at all.
This is interesting, what do you have for stats on this? By quantity of dormant smerit and % of accounts that have just never used their smerit?
Less than 1% of all 2 million+ accounts has ever sent or received merit. Theymos said about 600k sMerit was airdropped, and currently just over 200k has been sent. This partially came from sources, and generated another 100k+ sMerit.

My guess, since must users only spam for earning money, is that most users don't care about sending it to quality posts. Even worse: I'm pretty sure they don't even bother reading anything in their click farms.

Burning Bitcoin offline is easy. Transfer to a Drive and destroy the drive. Same with paper wallet, there you will actually get the satisfaction of burning it.
How will you prove your didn't make another copy? The only way to prove nobody can access coins ever again is by sending them to a burn address.
1566  Other / Meta / Re: Partially decentralised moderating on: September 10, 2018, 07:42:27 PM
This will at best create a few percent less reports. That won't take a significant load off the Mods, while it's more work to implement than just adding new Mods.
1567  Other / Meta / Re: Vote for new moderators who deserve it. @theymos please take a look. on: September 10, 2018, 05:25:58 PM
I would have thought that I had the fewest.

That's what get for ignoring so many users! Even I have more:

Let the record state that I didn't vote for myself. But I had to vote to be able to see the results.
1569  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: ICO. ChangeNOW.io has failed to list or exchange their own NOW tokens. on: September 09, 2018, 04:56:13 PM
You have the rank of Newbie and the only message about ChangeNOW.
This can be said about you too. Do they pay you to shill for them?

They have red trust already.
Of course an unknown exchange can't just create tokens out of thin air and expect it to have $40 million market cap! Tokens are only created to earn the creator money.
I love the irony of an exchange that needs other exchanges to trade their own token.
1570  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Iceland bitcoin price on: September 09, 2018, 06:23:18 AM
just 1 btc
That means you'll lose just $5000.
Don't be a fool to get scammed.
1571  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Buying from bitcoin.com? on: September 09, 2018, 06:12:36 AM
What is Bitcoin Core? That's one currency they are selling. Is Bitcoin Core just Bitcoin?
This is exactly why you shouldn't use that site, they try to make a new name for Bitcoin, and try to trick/scam people into thinking they buy Bitcoin when they sell and promote their own Forkcoin Bitcoin Cash.

This had led to many new users sending their coins on the wrong chain, and losing access


To buy Bitcoin, user a reputable exchange.
1572  Other / Meta / Re: [New Feature Idea] Saving avatars - new forum, or current SMF on: September 09, 2018, 05:47:01 AM
What you're suggesting will mainly benefit bounty spammers. Someone who can't set his avatar on his own should probably not be posting at all.

I think all avatars are archived somewhere anyway for every user (I might be wrong though). A lot of users seem to have images stored on ip.bitcointalk.org that they bring up and that must've come from their avatar as I can see no way to upload images directly to this forum (unless I'm missing something).
You're missing something: bitcointalk acts as a proxy for all images. This was implemented after a user created a "tracking pixel".
1573  Other / Meta / Re: User nominated names of possible moderators for forum. on: September 08, 2018, 08:57:10 PM
What's your good report percentage? I bet it's 99 or 100, in which case having a mod re-verify your work is probably pointless.
Its 99%, but the forum rounds up.
1574  Economy / Economics / Re: 44 % of startups/ICO still active 120 days following the end of their fundraise on: September 07, 2018, 03:10:32 PM
Is it really surprising though? I reckon that it's completely expected.

These projects are essentially made for the sole purpose of raising money. Once they've done that, most of the ICOs will just end their development or just stall with no progress being made.
The 44% surprised me big time, I would have expected no more than 10% to be left.
I can only assume they keep the project open for more money grabbing, either in that project or in the next ICO they started.

What I'm more curious about is how many of those 3500 ICOs and $12 billion produced anything real and worthwhile. If be surprised if it's even 10 projects.
1575  Economy / Lending / Re: 0.018 loan for vps hosting fees on: September 06, 2018, 07:46:09 PM
You've been away from the forum for 2 years. Asking for a loan isn't a good way to come back.
1576  Other / Meta / Re: 3 connected accounts (1 of them found plagiarism). How about ban all of them? on: September 03, 2018, 04:36:59 AM
I think adiebitsler should get the benefit of the doubt. It's impossible to prove he doesn't own the other accounts, while it's a fact that account farmers or just spam bots copy data from other users.
Anyone can post a Bitcoin address that I own. That doesn't mean they are me though.
1577  Other / Meta / Re: 3 connected accounts (1 of them found plagiarism). How about ban all of them? on: September 02, 2018, 06:40:12 PM
Idirben hasn't been active since July.  Has he already been banned?
yes
1578  Other / Meta / Re: 3 connected accounts (1 of them found plagiarism). How about ban all of them? on: September 02, 2018, 11:03:50 AM
The right order is to report plagiarism, that gives a ban. Next, if the alt accounts keep posting, report them for ban evasion, which deserves a ban too.
1579  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Unable to use the seed from a wallet file to make any transaction on: September 01, 2018, 03:20:25 PM
Does https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3383265.0 help for importing private keys?
1580  Other / Meta / Re: Is having an alt account a crime ? Why red trust for having one ? on: September 01, 2018, 05:40:40 AM
I honestly don't see any connection between nikjain422/predito422 and the other supposed alts.
Me neither! Collecting evidence is terrible on a phone, but I'll give it a shot.

Quote
Note: can't comment on the supposed merit farming between the two 422 accounts... It doesn't show on the 120days merit report and no one archived it
Several people archive the merit history, see http://loycevsbasement.privatedns.org/Merit/history/1277719.html for example. It confirms sending 1 merit to his alt.
I wouldn't call this farming, it's just 1 merit. That means the second part of this statement isn't true:
yahoo62278 identifies nikjain422 and preditor422 as being alts... both give each-other merits here and here
Abusing the same signature campaign isn't contested here, so I assume that part is true.
