I cannot tell this to every new user, really..
Please check who gave you the negative. (Well, I did. And a Legendary from the DefaultTrust is not somebody I'd call "a random guy").
Then go and ask him nicely if you can work this out, 1 to 1, maybe you have a chance to get the negative trust removed.


However, since you are still a newbie, this negative you've got is not a huge loss. Try to learn from it. Really.

Oh, indeed, this is the one!
I played to set it by hand.
If I set it to 3, our guy has -30, as you stated.
If I set it to 4 (max), he has -4093: -12 / +3 

Maybe the trust depth increases with the rank and that makes amiryaqot have trust depth 3 while I have trust depth 2?


But it's known that current trust system is in trouble. I guess that the big hope is that we move quick (yeah...) on the new forum software and there maybe this is better thought/done.

Do you have anything special in your trust settings? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust

As long as nobody from the default trust list bothered to give him a negative, he's as good as new
Maybe you can ask Vod to do that, he use to be rather eager to spread negatives (which in most cases is very good actually).

I tend to accept such theories, no matter how strange they are, as theories.
However, if somebody tells that he found out something new and better, I tend to be careful with what is done and what is proven.

The proven levitation is simple these days, all you need is (natural) magnets and electro-magnets. Maglev has all that. (Powerful air stream is another way, but that's not on this subject.)
What these guy do is, however, not very clear to me.


Maybe I've missed something, but those metal items may be the key. You know, with metal and electricity, if the positioning is right, you have just the same tech as maglev, nothing new, nothing spectacular.
Also it's not stated if that kettlering is made of metal or not, maybe it's something special. Maybe it's a magnet or magnetized material.
Human body and nature can also build electricity, but not enough for this.
So it's not clear - at least not to me - what they did and how.


It may not work like that. You know, I count what remains. And if we repeat the process infinite times, it still remains more than 0.
It's a sequence: 1, 0.66, 0.66*0.66, 0.66*0.66*0.66, .... (sorry, En is not my main language and I am not great on explaining)

I'd like in the future tests, for example, to also see them done somewhere they can't possibly have electricity / electromagnets.
I'd like them to prove that the kettleball doesn't contain any kind of magnets.


However, it's an interesting subject. I'd like to have something proven for real. It could help on lifting and transportation, maybe even make something cheaper than Maglev.


Now.. antigravity is a more hazardous subject and I don't think that they did that. And that's also harder to prove, I think.

230 was the normal of my liking, but yeah, it dropped a little. Actually now is just above 230 again. And, despite all the FUD, the price is rather stable lately.


My experience from alts tells that the bubble - if it will actually happen - it'll be shortly before the halving and it will not last long.

The Core client has that much work to do because the chain is big. And this is a sign of a healthy coin.
The core client is not for "now and then" use. I have MultiBit for that. And there are many other choices.
Your advertising for NXT only tells that NXT chian is tiny. How old is NXT? And is anybody actually using it? (Sorry if this is too harsh).

The campaign is still open. However, he never paid. If any of you would read up, would find that out quickly.

You should be also careful who you do business with from the default trust list.
That's because if the user is "kicked out" from the list, your shiny green trust may become black again.
And lately that (kick) happened more than I'd expect.

If you have the 2FA codes, the times sync has to be the issue. I've had it too in multiple occasions.
There is already a good post here on how to sync, read it. However, I'd suggest you try what I write here before and, if it didn't work, after time sync too.


If that also doesn't work, try to press the enter after the 2FA key at different "times". It's rather hard to explain. Basically the other site's 2FA generator may be a little bit out of sync too. It happened to me too.
I will give my examples:
1. site 1: there I have to enter the 2FA key in the first 75% of the time before it expires (on my android). If I do it later than that, it's invalid.
2. site 2: here, iirc, I had to enter the 2FA key in the last 25% of the time before it expires, else it was invalid. That was rather hard to use, so I switched back to SMS auth.

Though I sync my Google Authenticator from time to time, I still have such problems.

Good luck!

Make a secure enough environment and generate on it a bunch of paper wallets. Print them all.
A piece of paper with all public and private keys would do. And keep only a file with the list of public keys.
Pick one of them and start parking bitcoin there. When the amount looks good / big enough, move on to another paper wallet.
You can check your amounts at any time on the block chain related website you like more (blockchain.info, chain.so/BTC, ..)
Whenever you'll want to access your savings, you just redeem one or more of your paper wallets.

Obviously, store the paper wallets somewhere safe.

Background:
1. (Online) computers are easier and more susceptible to break in than your house, for example.
2. If you don't write "here are my valuable bitcoin paper wallets with shitload of money on them" a thief will see them as a piece of paper with strange writings on it, so you are safe

Stock market, Forex, name it. Everywhere pumps and dumps can happen. And if they don't, it may be because of the regulations and the high volumes.
Bitcoin market is not regulated and it's full of newbies. Anyone that has enough money and know some psychology and trading techniques can take profit really.
And then there are the huge mining facilities which, frankly, work to gain fiat, not bitcoin.

Imho Facebook is a much weaker project than bitcoin. Facebook stocks are also traded, they also have better or worse times and some know how to profit. And yet, I didn't hear voices telling that FB is just a pump and dump.

US dollar. Just ask around how much you could buy with 20$ some 50-70 years ago. Now its value is greatly diluted. Is USD just a pump and dump?

Done.

If you use debit card, you are actually not anonymous anymore.
If you want anonymity, use cash. I have Payment processor "ATM"s in my city and I buy from those, for example. That's closer to anonymous.

I am greedy enough to gamble - now and then. I think that gambling feeds the greed somehow. If I would be smarter I'd use that time to work and actually earn money.
Also fortunately I am not rich enough and I use to play with pennies, most of the time not even with my own money.
The feeling is good when you are on a winning streak, but that can never last. So yeah, I mostly lose

Bitcointalk is just a small part of BTC world. There are many other forums, there's reddit and there are also bitcoiners which don't care to read any of them.

Received the payment, all is good, thank you.

Just as fyi, that week started with -1 posts but I don't complain, I guess that one of threads I posted in was moved.

No. It was a solid project, not a pump and dump.
People don't have the patience to wait this much for a scam. If it would have been a pump and dump, Bitcoin would have become dust even before the first altcoins came to life.

Hmm, I was expecting more from the devs of the mighty Bitcoin. Yet one more disappointment for the day.
I somehow hope that we are missing something. Maybe they'll conclude together in a reasonable time and Gavin just did this act of "bad politics" with a good purpose.
