The Escrow-status for PlayYourBet should be Y/N instead of Y. The campaign manager is holding funds by himself.

If you're looking for a bigger forum, Reddit will be the next stop instead of Facebook. And I don't like Reddit already.
You can't have an active forum with 500 million active users, and still be able to find useful topics.

Oooh I'd love targeted ads. Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone's signature ad was based on the contents of their PMs.
Let me set up a bot to PM myself about Victoria's Secret

There are probably some privacy issues to consider before we can make all ratings public.
This may help:
Trust ratings are not moderated, and their value/accuracy is dependent on the viewer's trust network being reasonable. So they definitely shouldn't be indexed by search engines, at least: exclude it from robots.txt or use <meta name="robots" content="noindex,noarchive,nosnippet" />

I can't currently think of any other issues resulting from mirroring them if they're excluded from search engines.

Can I add a request to your work load? I've been thinking about a "DT feedback changelog" for a while, but when I tried I quickly gave up because theymos' feedback HTML ("everything on one very long line") is a pain to deal with from a script, and I currently don't have the time to figure it all out.
It would, however, be really nice to have! I imagine scraping all DT sent feedback once a day, and highlighting in chronological order tags that are removed or newly placed.
I'm not sure yet how new or removed DT-members fit in this schedule.


This would probably end up being a new source of drama!
15806  Other / Meta / Re: [TELEGRAM BOT] Merit, Trust List, etc. [INFORMATION] on: February 11, 2020, 11:25:11 AM
Example:
"You have been added to the Trust list by xandry."
or
"You have been removed from the Trust list by xandry."
To avoid confusion, I suggest: "In the past week, you have been .....".

More greater than the graph would be the person to offer this as a service. A 1$ a day sweep, oh boy how that could snowball
That's something you can arrange when a brick and mortar bank starts offering crypto services. Paying a dollar (okay a euro for me) per day is easy to automate, I can do it for stock, it would be great to do it for Bitcoin.
There's no point in withdrawing a dollar worth of Bitcoin per day, but twice a year would work.

QS has returned the bitcoins back to me, as requested by me on mutually agreed upon terms. Here is the relevant portions of the email exchange.
What is the trans ID?
If both parties involved in a trade confirm it's concluded, I see no reason to publish the TXID. This can remain private.
15809  Economy / Reputation / Re: Is this user tried to steal members password? Very suspicious. on: February 11, 2020, 06:50:20 AM
I also saw it a few days ago, and in my years in this community, I never bother to join such offers. And it you looked closely, there's a lot of red flags,

  • a newbie account
  • payment is too good to be true
  • no escrow
The majority of those won't pay indeed, but not always: I've seen Newbies who are true to their word, even when they offer something that could easily be called "too good to be true".
And that's probably the reason why people still join those offers.
15810  Economy / Reputation / Re: Is this user tried to steal members password? Very suspicious. on: February 10, 2020, 08:48:53 PM
It's a random Newbie who can abandon his account at any moment. It's suspicious, but it looks like the story ended already.

I think people should by now know not to use the same password on more than one website.

I hope this isn't Cryptohunter/The-One-Above-All back from his fantasy vacation.
It sure looks like it. I'm not taking any chances: I'm ignoring the troll before this turns into a 12 month drama again.

I got the idea for this graph in Investing 1$ every day in bitcoin over the last five years, but the graph I created doesn't only include the last 5 years until today. It includes every consecutive period of 5 years in which Bitcoin had a dollar value, until yesterday.

I don't know if anyone ever made a graph like this before, but I think it adds a nice perspective.

Results:
Image loading...
Data source: https://coinmetrics.io/newdata/btc.csv
Note: I had to use a logarithmic scale to make the graph readable.

Details:
The first 5 year period starts on July 18, 2010, when Bitcoin is valued at $0.08584. On this day, $1 buys 11.64958062BTC.
After spending $1 on Bitcoin every day for 5 years (I used 1826 days), it's July 17 2015.
July 17, 2015 is the very first data point in the graph: the most left red and blue dots.
The last data point (the most right red and blue dots) represent the investment period that ended on February 9, 2020, and started 5 years before that date.

The obvious
Early adopters had the best bet. Nothing new here!
Investing a total of $1826 in Bitcoin, for 5 years, with a dollar per day, would have gotten you $10,000 or more at the end of your 5 years, no matter when you started!
The amount of Bitcoin you can buy using "dollar cost averaging" for 5 years in a row has continuously been declining. No exceptions!
The dollar equivalent seems to have touched a bottom at $10,000.

Investment advice
I don't do that! This graph is based on historic data, if I'd know the future, I'd be rich!

Thanks! I've used the full data, starting at the first day they show a price for Bitcoin.

Time to remove the red trust system and rely upon flags.
Let me guess: your main account has negative feedback, but no Flags yet?

There's a lot wrong with the Trust system, but one example of 1 user changing something won't make it in my Top 10.

I closed all Testnet Lightning channels just minutes before reading this. I've opened a new one in Eclair Testnet, but that takes a while.
Feel free to PM LoyceMobile a Testnet payment request.
15816  Economy / Reputation / Re: Is Lauda still on DT? (taking requests!) Update: added Changelog! on: February 10, 2020, 07:45:34 PM
It turns out connection problems lead to "0 exclusions on DT2" in the Changelog. It's a bug, but I won't fix it. Let's say it can be used as a log of connection problems.

Do you also want this for previous weeks? That's a bit more work, so I'll only make it if you're going to use it.
I think that'd be useful in the long run but let us first deal with this one list.
Before I continue, a question: Take http://loyce.club/trust/2019-08-10_Sat_06.04h/1207446.html for example: the user doesn't appear in theymos' data dump for that week, but you can still link to this as the latest version, because it still contains useful information (namely: he's being removed from someone's Trust list).
My previously created file user_ids.txt contains the exact same userIDs as theymos' data dump

Showing the current version of user_ids.txt is easiest, but I think the other version is better. Agreed?
15818  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BPIP] Bitcointalk Public Information Project [Back in Action] on: February 10, 2020, 03:35:48 PM
Thank you for the data collecting and analysis you are doing!
My pleasure Cheesy

just put user_ids.txt in the appropriate folder as indicated by latestversion.txt and that should be ok. That way we can figure out on our end which week is the latest available for each user.
Done: http://loyce.club/trust/2020-02-08_Sat_07.44h/user_ids.txt
I haven't tested the weekly updates yet, but it should work.

Do you also want this for previous weeks? That's a bit more work, so I'll only make it if you're going to use it.
15819  Economy / Reputation / Re: [Cult of Lauda] An historic peace: Rome’s treaty with Carthage on: February 10, 2020, 12:37:18 PM
As far as I know, Lauda is the first person to call me "Switzerland", and the name has grown on me. I've disliked the fights between veteran members on this forum for a long time, and I'd love to see it stop! I'm pretty sure most users can find something they like or dislike about almost anyone, and in most cases that only warrants neutral feedback.
I also never expected to see this happen, but I appreciate it. I think most of what caused QuickSeller's negative feedback happened "before my time here", and I've seen valuable posts from him since then.

Ever since I was a Newbie on Bitcointalk I've had the feeling anyone can easily get tagged for almost anything. That doesn't make the forum look very friendly from the outside. To grow, as a forum and as a coin, we need adoption from more users. It would be great if at least veteran users can get along a bit better Smiley
15820  Economy / Reputation / Re: Am I obliged to share reason behind my distrust list? on: February 10, 2020, 12:19:30 PM
One of the reasons I made Reference topic: Why are these members excluded on trust lists?, is so I don't have to remember the reason. Looking back at my list, I haven't interacted with most of them since I excluded them.
Then again, I just like open data. But I also like freedom: you're free to do almost anything you please on this forum.


I sometimes wonder why someone is excluded by someone I trust. It makes me wonder if there's "incriminating" information I don't have.
