However, I suspect the people that actually care about privacy won't use Amazon anyway, and the people that don't care that much about privacy have already had all their private data leaked by Facebook.
Everybody should care about privacy where Bitcoin is concerned, shouldn't they? Of course that is the major reason wallets generate addresses after addresses after each transaction. You don't want moggers/hoodlums/bandits tracing you to your home because of a purchase you made on any shop, not even from Amazon. I think this Amazon technique will backfire. It is an innovation thought in error. Of course they should, but many do not. The bitcoin community certainly has a higher-than-average proportion of people that care about privacy at the moment, but as we go more mainstream, that proportion will fall. You only have to look at the huge number of people who are quite happy to share their entire lives with Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Instragram, Twitter, etc. so long as they can continue to post selfies with plates of food and share cat memes. Which leads me back to my original point that you quoted. |

It doesn't matter if they re offend or not. It doesn't change the fact that they've murdered at least one person which is justifiable to spend the rest of their life in prison. I'm against the idea of capital punishment and can't believe that some countries still use it when it's been proven to not work. It doesn't act as a deterrent because people are still murdering others and it doesn't always bring justice because innocents have been killed.
If you kill someone premeditated then you should spend the rest of your life in prison. If you killed someone by self defense then many factors would have to be taken into consideration. Completely agree with you to here. Just because you killed someone that entered your house without your permission and was waving a weapon around doesn't mean you have to kill them. If it's a baseball bat for instance then he not likely to kill you with it and you wouldn't have to use lethal force either. It almost all self defense cases there was a better option Completely disagree with you here. You can kill someone with a single punch. You sure as hell can kill someone with one swing of a baseball bat. If a baseball wielding lunatic breaks in to my house, the safety of my family comes first and I should be allowed to use whatever means necessary to protect them. If that requires lethal force, then so be it. |

What the fuck is the internet?If we are making merit a crypto, I would like to volunteer to organise a coin burn to make merit even more valuable. Send all your excess merits to me, and I'll make sure they are burned. Here's a (/s) just in case anyone honestly thought I was being serious.You want a serious answer though? If you make merit a crypto, people can buy it, and it therefore defeats the purpose of merit. The end.

My issue with charging to post (in whatever form it takes - sign up fee, fee per post, etc) is that I don't believe it will end spam. Signature campaigns already pay people to spam. What is to stop them paying people slightly less to spam (and we all know there is no shortage of people willing to spam the forum for pennies) and using the money saved to cover the fees the forum will charge?

Sure, why don't we just send it to space. There, boom, problem solved.
We could also just nuke it and it will evaporate right? You are overthinking it! Just get everyone in the world to drink an extra glass of water a day, and boom, problem solved. Everyone knows that water you have drunk disappears forever, just like water that evaporates. Rain is fake news! |

I would like for Blazed, saltyspitton and hilariousandco to make a statement regarding the above. All of the above have lauda on their trust lists.
-snip- It is my genuine, humble request to stop it. Please find something better to do with your thoughts and actions. ... Please find the will to leave this obsession and do something really worth your while. |

You definitely cannot do anything in which users have administrative power over others. The red-trusted scammers would have a field day just using the system against the people who had sent them the feedback. Pretty much this. Under this system most of the default trust network would be banned within the hour as all the scammers and spammers they had red-tagged retaliated against them. |

That's why I said it had to be x number of different members, where x is greater than 1 (and less than, say, 10), and that the temp-ban could be appealed in meta - if a moderator/admin looks at the offender's post history and sees that they are not, in fact, shitposts/scams/etc. then it would be those who unfairly reported the posts that get the ban. I still don't think this would work. There are a number of members with large numbers of alt accounts who could still easily abuse this, and mods are busy enough as it is without having a bunch of fake bans to review. Okay, so you don't like my suggestion but didn't suggest an alternate approach yourself... Forgive me if I don't take your rebuttal too seriously, then. Providing an alternative is not a requirement for disagreeing with someone's point of view, and not providing an alternative does not make my argument any less valid. Your system is too open to abuse and manipulation. |

If you are absolutely sure that you sent the coins to the correct address as provided by Cryptopia, and you can see that the transaction has multiple confirmations, then the only people that can help to credit the coins to his account are Cryptopia themselves. You should visit their support page at https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Usersupport. |

There is a stickied post in the Beginners & Help forum entitled Newbies - Read before posting. Inside, you will find a link to a much larger Terminology Thread. But I'm sure you know that because everyone reads the stickied posts like they are supposed to. (/s) |

Was only a matter of time, probably. Will be interesting to see if they follow Binance's model of using their coin to reduce exchange fees, or KuCoin or COSS's model of paying dividends to holders, or something else entirely.

I'm curious as to how this will work in practice. Sure, Amazon could link my real data to a bitcoin address if I bought physical goods from them and paid in bitcoin, but why would I ever need to use that address again? With the existence of bitcoin mixers and coins like monero, I can easily anonymise some coins and send them to Amazon from an address I'll never use again. All they could link me to is that one single payment.
However, I suspect the people that actually care about privacy won't use Amazon anyway, and the people that don't care that much about privacy have already had all their private data leaked by Facebook.

First it was JP Morgan, then it was Goldman Sachs, now it is Barclays. The next in what will be an ever increasing list of big financial institutions that disparage crypto before changing their mind and getting involved.

The random start number during PIN entry is a neat feature... pretty much like Trezor's randomised PINPAD... it effectively neutralises the "keylogger" vector. I've been using this feature for a few months already. Looks like they made it mandatory for everyone - a good move. I am on step 3 (Uninstall applications). I do what the instructions say (to click on the “trash” button) and after confirming on my ledger nano, nothing happens, try again and the same, so on. And by the way, at the same time there is a notice "New firmware available". Of course there is a new firmware, if you didn't do it so complicated I would have already upgraded! There are some easy to follow instructions here: https://support.ledgerwallet.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002731113. If you are having trouble uninstalling apps, try disconnecting your Ledger, restarting your PC, and trying again. If that still fails, uninstall the Chrome Ledger Manager App and reinstall the latest version from the Ledger website: https://www.ledgerwallet.com/apps. |

P.P.S. I just saw that 7 of those merits came from a post where you took the new merits requirements seriously and wanted to calculate them, another 9 from a post where you elucidate methods to obtain merit... No wonder you are fixated; I do want merits too; but I doubt if I'll ever flaunt them around or take to boot licking to earn them... I didn't realise he was the same guy. The joke went totally over his head in that thread too. |

Regarding ETH,I am not sure is it possible to recover your wallet with just using seed and Ledger is have this solution Restoring your Ethers (ETH or ETC) without a Ledger Nano S, but this must be done offline on 100% clean computer because in this way your seed can be compromised.After this you can get private keys for ETH and import them to some ETH wallet. Myetherwallet will also let you input your 24 word seed directly in to their website and access your Ethereum and ERC20 tokens that way. Obviously, that is horrendously insecure, so you should only do it with the view to immediately moving your coins to a secure wallet. |

Hey look, we are both full members. We both got given 100 merits for free when the system was first put in place. Since then, I've earned a bunch more. You've earned zero.
Maybe, just maybe, the problem isn't the merit system - it's you.
Edit:
The merit system was introduced on 24th January. I see your last post before this one was 26th January. Therefore, you can't be angry at the merit system regarding this account, as you haven't even tried to level it up. I can only assume, then, that you are angry about merit because you are trying to level up alt accounts so you can cheat bounty campaigns. Proof that the merit system, although not perfect, is working well.

If you want to collect 500-1000 merits now, forget it man, Satoshi himself (disguised) would not make it. Somebody should tell the users that have already earned >500 merit... |
