1641  Other / Meta / Re: Can Bitcointalk Adopt the Web3 System? on: June 25, 2023, 02:43:27 PM
Currently, it seems that sites that implement web3 technology are popular. This site connect wallet to login. Is it possible if bitcointalk also adopts such a system in the future?

But I don't know if a bitcoin wallet can do something like that. most sites that adopt the web3 system use the ethereum network
Why do you need web3 login when there is no need for it if you know the proper ways to avoid scammers. What people are still looking forward to is the two-factor authentication which might be done before this year get to an end.

Web3 login is not what is possible yet for bitcoin wallets, there is no bitcoin wallet using web3 for bitcoin because web3 is not in bitcoin protocol and likely will not be there.

If that can happen, the marketplace system will also be easier to use. I think the marketplace system here is too conventional. Not bad, but prone to fraud
If you want to trade with someone on this forum, you can ask for the person to sign his bitcoin address which have already been used on this forum before.

If the person has PGP public key, you can use that as prove also by sending him an encrypted message, telling him to decrypt the message.
1642  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Teacher and Classmates Labeling Bitcoin as a Ponzi Scheme or a Scam on: June 23, 2023, 03:01:19 PM
You need to let him know that this life is a scam if someone does not know what he is doing. Example is holding fiat for 10 years in a fixed deposit account because of 10% APR. Is that not scam in countries that are not developed but hit with inflation? The fiat will decrease in value even in countries that are developed.

Let him know that he suppose to understand something before he can call it a scam. A business that the business owner collect Peter money to pay Paul is what that is called ponzi. Is bitcoin like that? No.

You know what is bitcoin, you know how volatile it is, you know that you can either gain or lose, unlike ponzi schemes that the business owners are lying to make investors to invest.

However, I don't know how many merit sources there currently are, or how active they are, but I'll betcha it'd probably help things if Theymos added some new ones.  Speaking of that, I haven't seen any new applications to be a merit source in quite some time.
There are 110 merit sources.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=sources

There are many people (at least four or five people) that have applied for merit source but no one has been selected after the last selection.

I don't know if you're for real... But if you are: you just posted a big advertisement for scammers...
Personally, i'd disregard all mails arriving at that address from now on cause everybody looking for an easy victim will be mailing you.
There is nothing more tht he is doing, he is only inviting scammers and that is just it.

Everything about bitcoin discussion should be done openly on this forum. Take time to learn about bitcoin yourself if you do not want anyone to scam you.

Start to read about bitcoin paper online. Paper like this ones:

Yes fillippone is active in his thread and it has being meriting people seriously but the thread is having more pages because people is submitting application everyday, the least application that come to that thread a day should be ten or eight (10: Cool applications daily either he needed more smerit from theymos to distribute more in that thread.
Anyone that needs more merit should use the LoyceV thread that I posted, there are merit sources there. Quality posts are often merited there. You do not necessarily need to be the one that has the posts, you can also report other user's posts for merit.

The Sceptical Chymist: is the list I made for one of the users that is distributing Larger merit to people, and I observe that The Sceptical Chymist distributes like thirty, twenty five to fifteen (30 -25 - 15) merit at once, and that is helping for merit circulation. For the thread I Skip, I don't know that such thread is existing, thanks for bringing it to my knowledge, i will add it
The Sceptical Chymist do give up to 50 merits to people that deserves it.
1646  Other / Meta / Re: fillippone merited thread need more support of merit source. on: June 22, 2023, 08:31:32 AM
I think this is the first of its kind and where some other merit source focussed on: [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source. You did not include the link, which means you may not know the thread is existing on this forum.

The last time I checked that fillippone thread and I have applied there before just ones many months ago likely more than a year ago, he is actively meriting the qualified users there. He is not complaining that he needs more merit source to join him or is he?

If you are posting good on this forum, many of your posts will be given merits and your account will grow in rank.

Like you said, Ratimov has his own merit-given thread about merit too which is another one. Is that not enough? I have noticed Ratimov distributing merit to qualified users that are about to rank up.

Also The Sceptical Chymist is distributing huge amount of merit to people. Are those not enough?

How can i understand Bitcoin more ? I mean it has no use for it yet, it is not producing profits for companies ?
You mean that bitcoin has no utility? Are you in this world, or probably you do not know much about bitcoin. I do not expect anyone to come up with something false that bitcoin has no until.

I want to invest good capital but dont understand why I would do this on something made out of thin air. Sometimes seems like its a lot of fanboys just wanting it to go up and up so they can then sell to retail
This is the reason you have not be buying bitcoin, you think it is made out of thin air and has no utility. You think like a bitcoin critic that is now seeing himself missing out of opportunity that increase in bitcoin price would have offered.

Go and learn about bitcoin limited supply and increasing demand. Probably you will be able to know why bitcoin is an asset and why the price will still continue to increase than decrease.
1648  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who is to be blamed, the gambler or the betting agent on: June 21, 2023, 02:54:39 PM
Since the gambler will be at fault and receives the best embarrament of his life from the agent he should then be blamed for taking the risk of what he knows to be uncertainties to either win the bet or get the money for repayment back to the agent, the agent i think try his best by being considerate enough maybe due to their familiarities being together over a long time but he also made a mistake of offering a loan knowing that such shouldn't be allowed or permitted when gambling, this equally means he will be in full responsibility for the refundment if the gambler defaulted.
The betting agent should be blamed, he should know how gambling is and how addicts can borrow money to gamble or use the money they supposed to use for something else to gamble. I see the betting agent as an inexperienced person and he should learn from his mistake. The person he borrowed money too is not a rich person, and the betting agent will know that. Then why borrow him money? I can borrow someone money if what he wants to use the money for is not risky, unlike gambling that I know can take more from addicts. I will also blame the gambler because he is not disciplined but borrowing money to gamble, that is foolishness that can lead gambling addicts to dept. So I will blame them both. I blame the gambler for not discipline himself and I will blame the betting agent for not knowing that he should not borrow any gambler money.

Do not trust anyone that is not trustworthy, see the list of escrow providers on this forum:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2439910.0

Check for the ones that are still active on this forum like Hhampuz.

Well, it depends on what you are buying? But you can reach out to me.
You have no reputable yet on this forum and you are saying he should reach out to you. That is not right. Have a good reputation before you start escrow service on this forum. You are not even on the list of escrow provider.

1 sat equals 0.1 nBTC.
1 sat equals 10 nBTC. It is uncommon to use nBTC.
That was a mistake from my calculation, you are correct.

I think it will get too complex to use milli- or pico- as prefixes to the Bitcoin logo. I'm just going to have to stay with "SAT" until there is a new standard. I don't think that I'll be adding any alts, but I mauy have to add the new CBDC when it arrives. I'm tempted to include gold or silver, but I guess that would mean sovereigns.
Satoshi do not need a symbol, it is better for bitcoin to have only the symbol pertaining to bitcoin, representing it in 'sat' will be very perfect.

No symbol is needed than the BTC logo in orange color. 1 sat can be represented in 10 nano bitcoin (nBTC). People will just need to be acquainted with that.

We have mBTC used very well day. Followed by μBTC. For bitcoin amount small like sat, it should be represented in something like 1 sat equals 10 nBTC.
1656  Economy / Reputation / Re: Does The Spammer Tag From actmyname Stick Forever? on: June 19, 2023, 07:32:55 AM
Stop generalizing it's just a neutral tag, if you get tagged with him, I believe your chance to get accepted into signature campaign is lower than other users. Not to mention few campaign managers will kick you immediately after you get tagged.
It is just a neutral tag like I said before, not that the person is involved in a scam or cheating on a campaign with alts.

You can read this further explanation:

Yes, anyone that leaves a positive, neutral or negative tag can also remove it. Some people do open a thread if they think they are worthy of negative or bad neutral tag removal, discussing it with other people in the public on this same reputation board to give their opinion about it to be removed or not.

But actually it is not a bad tag, but seen as bad by the people given the tag.

Just a neural tag that the people given can work towards a way for it to be removed.

I have seen many of the people that were tagged but got into a campaign. Some of them are not even still having quality posts enough.
1657  Economy / Reputation / Re: Does The Spammer Tag From actmyname Stick Forever? on: June 19, 2023, 07:05:11 AM
Can it be removed by actmyname? But I still see people have that tag and they have good posts. Does that mean they didn't ask actmyname to remove it?
Yes, anyone that leaves a positive, neutral or negative tag can also remove it. Some people do open a thread if they think they are worthy of negative or bad neutral tag removal, discussing it with other people in the public on this same reputation board to give their opinion about it to be removed or not.
1658  Economy / Reputation / Re: Does The Spammer Tag From actmyname Stick Forever? on: June 19, 2023, 06:47:31 AM
It is just a neutral tag, not red tag.

To tag someone is very easy if found to be a spammer, but it is not easy sometimes to remove the tag if the person is not very well noticed to becoming a good poster. If anyone noticed that he has changed, or you noticed that the tagged person posting is becoming to have quality, unlike before, they can report themselves to actmyname in a PM, or anyone else can help do the report. He can look into the account and check if it is true that the person is no longer spamming.

But I will say that prevention is better than cure, they should nit spam so they will not receive the spammer neutral tag.
1659  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What makes Bitcoins valuable? on: June 19, 2023, 12:10:40 AM
3. Bitcoin has become accepted as a store of value
Most individuals believe gold is a store of value. When Warren Buffet says gold has intrinsic value, he means the asset itself is valuable.
It is better you speculate the price from bitcoin price history and what is going on, for you not to buy at the wrong time which can make you wait for years again before the price that you bought it is reached and increase more to all-time-high. What I am saying is that bitcoin is a store of value in long term but not in short term investment.

4. Bitcoin is anonymous
Nobody wants anyone looking into their finances. Your finances are your business. Bitcoin is anonymous, meaning although Coinbase might know who you are, they don’t know why you made the transaction.
Which Coinbase? Coinbase.com is a custodial wallet and they also have an exchange. Any transaction sent to your Coinbase account is well known to Coinbase which can let anyone like the government or third party to know you.

Bitcoin transaction is semi anonymous or pseudonymous if you use noncustodial wallet with Tor or use a full client for privacy.
1660  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can someone please ELI5 what is spot Bitcoin ETF that BlackRock is trying to... on: June 18, 2023, 03:40:43 PM
I mean if one can buy BTC from an exchange why there is a need for a spot BTC ETF?
It is like saying 'why is derivative trading (future contracts) trading existing on crypto exchanges when there is spot trading on the same exchanges.

Bitcoin ETF goes beyond crypto exchanges, it is also existing in other trading platforms that support bitcoin derivative trading.

With bitcoin ETF, you do not need to buy bitcoin directly, but buy it using future contract.

But for investment, it is better to buy bitcoin directly rather than to use future contract to buy it. But some people prefer to use leverage to trade, those people can go for derivative trading.
