Account selling would certainly be profitable and likely actually very lucrative, but I don't think this is what he's doing because it's far too much time and effort to involve yourself in and all it takes is the account sale to go bad or someone finds out that the account was sold and then bye-bye account and months upon months of your time has been wasted and for what? A thousand dollars or however much accounts are going for. I suspect QS just wants another account not related to him to earn from it in whatever ways he can and build up a bit of trust, and also if you're lucky enough to get one on Chipmixer then you can earn that 1k a month from as long as you're on there which would obviously be very lucrative to anyone.


I'm sure many wouldn't care but all it takes is the one or two that do to ruin his rep beyond all repair so he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't and QS is smart enough to know this. If he admits the account is his then he's lost the game as all doubt would be removed and those who want to get one-up on him would surely pounce on that. If he says no then people will accuse him of lying and claim therefore he is not to be trusted and tag him for that so he can't really win. In this situation there's nothing really QS can say to try prove otherwise so it's wise for him to ignore this really even if some others will make their mind up based on that, but again, it's lose-lose.

Well sure, there are lots of similarities in the way people use language and words and phrases, but the odds of someone using the same very unique phrases or spelling errors is astronomical and the more similarities we see the more likely it becomes that one and the other are the same and I've spotted a lot of alts like this. Basically, we all know that you're QS but there's obviously no smoking gun so you're going to try hide behind that. It's like knowing someone committed a crime because it has all the hallmarks of that person and they were spotted at the scene of the crime and have the motive, but there's no DNA evidence to seal the case and certainly not enough to stand up in court so they go free on a technicality.

BTW, I always had an inkling you two were one and the same as you just start to see these things when you spend so much time on the board, but it was all but confirmed for me when I noticed both you and QS reporting posts with the exact same phrasing. The odds of that happening between two random people is very rare and obviously not something someone else can mimic. QS also does a certain thing on all of his accounts as do you which I'm not going to give away because it's an easy habit to change but it's always the first thing I look for when I see one account that has all the hallmarks of QS. I honestly don't know whether you just see this board as too lucrative to leave it alone and do your best to try rank up an account to maximise earning potential here from whatever avenues you can, or there's something more sinister going on and you've always been trying to build up to a long con or something. I'm sure many others here wouldn't have given a shit about any other accounts you had and you could have easy rebuilt your reputation over time but the way you behaved and tried to take anyone and everyone down just because they had someone you didn't like on their trust list turned a lot of people against you and makes me not trust you at all and that's why most people here are unforgiving of you.


Most people have words they get wrong frequently even if they're native English speakers, and especially just turn of phrases and mannerisms that you pick up over time. It's actually hard for people to register themselves but others often notice it and over time things start to stick out even more.


It's really not just the words though, it's the overall behaviour amongst other things. Users who sign up here and head straight to Meta and and get involved in forum politics always stand out as likely being alts and often people blatantly having knowledge of things that you would only know from being here a while sets alarm bells off. The words and phrases are just another piece of strong evidence, but yes, one or two similarities wouldn't mean much but when you put it all together it becomes pretty compelling. I wasn't even aware of the things that have just been presented in this thread but I always suspected they were the same just from other things I observed. Sure, probably technically not enough to condemn someone over but I'd bet a bollock they're the same.


Well it's pretty obvious. Money and probably trust. It's also not that hard to rank up if you know what to do and where to fish for merits, much like mday was doing, and PN7 is doing pretty well in the merit and rank stakes. Sure, it takes a bit of time and effort but the outcome can be very rewarding, especially if you can get on a high-paying campaign and I'm sure he has his eyes set on the holy grail that is Chipmixer.


The people who he's attacked seemingly give a shit. I don't really care either either and let him have that account for all I care, but I don't blame them for attacking him any chance they get either because that's exactly what QS did and he launched a pretty merciless attack on anyone who he felt wronged him and they're seemingly returning the favour and unwilling to let it go like he did.

I would just say move on to both sides but I don't think either will be wiling to do so so this sort of tit-for-tat will likely continue on for ever.

I never bet these. Far too hard and too much to expect of the team even if it's Liverpool. The odds are never that great as well and often all it will take is one goal from the opposition to screw it up and that wasn't far off yesterday. You've always got to account for penalties also.


Well I hope so. I put a bet on them to win them both before the season started. The CL isn't going to be as easy as the PL though and there's a long way to go. I think they're probably one of the favourites but it's a different story when you start coming up against some of the European bad-boys but Liverpool are probably playing better than most of them right now.


Lol. I still love how Allison was the first player to reach him.

If campaigns want to pay me more for my avatar then they can go ahead as I won't complain, but I think it all comes down to the size of them and also the fact that they're not clickable. If they were then I think companies would pay a lot more for them as they would be more lucrative. They're good exposure as merely an advertisement, but the fact that you can literally direct someone to your site with a click of a button in your signature is very effective, and that's why avatars are only really an afterthought for most campaigns as the little extra exposure isn't really worth that much hence why they don't command as much. It would be interesting to see if anything would change in regards to monetary reward if you could click avatars.

Got the correct score in the Liverpool game in Kloppage time  . Nice assist from Alison and great run and composure from Salah. Surprised that nobody went for the Burnley win. Another one goal ruined my correct score.


I'd bet if it included a draw  . I just don't really see any team being that much of a threat to them right now, but I can see them slipping up on a draw. I don't think them playing Wolves away in the next round will be easy. Looking at Liverpool's fixtures they don't really have any big teams coming up until the last handful of games at the end of the season and Liverpool will likely have already won the title by then.


I'll lose a lot of respect for him if he runs off and cries to another team just because they didn't win the title. He should just go again next season.


Too bad you changed it. I had it down at 1-0 but changed it to 2-0 once I saw the line-ups. Could have been 3 or 4-nil though as Liverpool had two goals disallowed.


Well it's Sky's highlights so they'll only have the rights to show it in the UK. Just search for it and I'm sure whoever has the rights in your country will come up.

What a shame The-One-Above-All left. He could have grabbed a spot.

Well unfortunately only two were draws out of the ones I picked. A fairly late goal in the Arsenal game costs me my perfect score and nobody got the result right on the City draw. I was one goal away from getting the result on the Southampton/Wolves draw as well. Would have got points on the Norwich game on the draw if it wasn't for the penalty that was given for the blatant defender hand ball. Did anyone see that? It was quite en epic save: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-qrmXXLr-c

At least they've found their reserve goalkeeper now  .

Also went for 1-1 on the Newcastle game and narrowly missed out on that with the surprise 1-0 win. Wasn't expecting that. Gone for another draw today in the Leicester game. Leicester should win, but I'm not so sure after last weeks loss so hence the draw. As for the Liverpool/United match I'll wait for the line-ups before I commit. I'll be watching that game for sure.

I'll probably go for 2-0 but I'm waiting for the line-ups to be announced and whether Rashford plays. I think Liverpool could stuff them if he's not playing, otherwise it could be a little closer.


I've gone for a lot of draws this so I'm not that confident about this round. Hopefully I can pick up some points on the home wins I've gone for.


Well except if they don't. Arsenal went an entire season without winning and there's no reason that Liverpool can't do it this season, though obviously it's very difficult to do, but I think this Liverpool squad is probably better than Arsenal's prime. I wouldn't put money on it either way though but I think it's probable they will drop a point somewhere but I don't think it's going to be against United. Maybe Liverpool might come out with a draw or something when the Champions League starts again if they decide to rest players for that.

It's really already happening in Sweden and there's been lots of attention on the fact that it's becoming mostly cashless and likely will become the first fully digital economy fairly soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe-j5D9CNPY

 Ikea already don't take cash and they stopped accepting cash for their public transport recently. Most are already in favour of it but as I mentioned above some of their old people aren't liking it but they're not going to be around forever so it will gradually become more prevalent and make cash obsolete. A lot of the arguments from the elderly seem to be based on really naive views like smartphones are too expensive etc. Sure, a brand new iPhone might be but you can get a decent smart phone for hardly anything these days. Cash is a dinosaur really and it is going to extinct whether people like it or not. It's only a matter of time and fighting it is futile.

Well tax evasion is surely then the biggest reason why the powers that be will want to change it to digital. Cash is far too anonymous for them and that's why criminals favour it. There's even been talk in some countries of getting rid of things like the 50 or 100 denomination notes because they're the notes of choice for criminals. I think it was only a few years ago that I first saw a £50 note in person because they're that rare. Many shops wont even accept them because they're that suspcious of them and they're the most likely note to be counterfeited given their value. That's why I think it's inevitable we will eventually transition to a blockchain based system because govs can track exactly how much you're earning and also what you're spending it on, which is slightly scary and Orwellian but I think that's the way we're heading. I think most bushiness that deal with cash or the self-employed probably diddle their taxes or misreport their earnings in some way and it's very easy to do when there's no records or you're the one that's in charge of keeping the records in the first place and a public ledger of all transactions would likely put an end to that pretty swiftly.


This doesn't really make sense and seems to suggest the opposite of what you're claiming. What power would criminals have to keep the government making cash?
If the government stops issuing it then there's nothing they can do unless they invent their own paper currency. People complaining, and especially criminals, isn't really going to make a difference and I don't think that would be an issue as cash will just become obsolete gradually over time naturally so it's inevitable it will disappear eventually as people will just stop using it and criminals wanting to tax evade obviously isn't a reason the government will keep printing and minting it.

It's football not psychological warfare  . I think you're giving him too much credit and are looking too much into it.



I personally really wouldn't back Spurs away at Watford. No Kane and Watford are fighting relegation and are on a bit of a run currently and Spurs are coming off two losses in a row and have only won one in their last five games and that's why I'm going for the draw on that game, but a home win wouldn't surprise me either.


Doesn't really matter what his contract is as they'll probably fire him after a year or so if he doesn't change Spur's form around. They never should have sacked Poch in my opinion. The culture of sacking managers after a handful of poor results needs to change and bringing in a new manager regardless of whether he's world class or not doesn't make a difference 9 times out it 10.

This would only be a temporary fix as if this happened and people started using bitcoin in such a way then they would just change the law to include limitations on large-scale bitcoin purchases. It seems very harsh threatening people with prison for merely using cash though and they should go after the people who have obtained the money nefariously rather than blanket restrictions and threats on all big cash purchases, which is what I'm guessing they're scared about here because I'm sure a good percentage of people using such large amounts of cash are doing it because the money was obtained in some illegal way, but obviously not all. I think a better way would be for large cash transaction to be reported to the IRS and then they can choose whether to investigate any potential wrong-doing if it looks suspicious or your taxes don't add up and this already happens in many countries, for instance if you went to buy an expensive car regardless of whether you paid in cash or not that purchase would likely be reported to the relevant government body that is responsible for looking into any financial shenanigans.

I'll also leave just this post below here what I just posted elsewhere because I think it's relevant as just because cash is on its way out or being restricted it doesn't mean that is going to boost bitcoin but rather other payment methods will likely be used instead:

Digital payments are the future, but probably not bitcoin. Cash will almost certainly be obsolete within our generation and one of the only complaints I've seen from people against getting rid of it are old people who still use cash because they fear or don't understand the tech, but in 20-30 years when they all die off they'll likely be no excuses, but this all doesn't mean that people will be flocking to bitcoin. Have you ever seen anyone using bitcoin to buy anything in the real world? Nope. It's rarity unless it's a niche shop that accepts bitcoin and people go out of their way to find it or shop there. People mostly just use their debit/credit card or phone apps these days and that's what they'll continue to use, though I guess we might see bitcoin integrated into these payment processors eventually as they become more popular/prevalent and the merchant just gets the cash equivalent. Eventually there might even be things like RFID implants or other sorts of devices that include them (bands or rings etc) that people will use to pay with but I think phone payments will eventually reign supreme because lets face it, nobody really leaves the house without their phone on them.

Contact support as they're obviously the only ones that can help you unless there's some option like on Facebook to reactivate your account but I'm guessing if there was you would have done that by now.


Well the keyword here in well-known. I'm sure well-known youtubers have direct contact with youtube staff and will get given priority. I'm sure if you had a small channel i wouldn't be as easy or as swift.

But how would you enforce that? And besides, I like using it for other stuff. People also often use them as part of their sig campaign or to put a ref link in there or something. I think the only links I would possibly restrict was in the feedback section and links to bitcointalk threads only should be accepted as I've seen a few users use them maliciously and spam advertise or link to things they shouldn't be there.

What have you gone for? A surprise 5-0 shock away win for United?   I'm sure the pool picks from everyone will be quite varied. I wonder how many if any at all will go for the draw of even the Man U upset?


It's probably the only game I'll watch this weekend (except for the early QPR/Leeds game in the Championship). I'll obviously be backing Liverpool but I'm really not sure what score to go for. It could be a narrow home win or an absolute drubbing. Would be funny if United got some points from it though.


I'm not sure I'd bet on this game. I expect Liverpool to win but a shock result or specifically a draw wouldn't exactly shock me either. I'll probably wait for the line-ups though and as you say Pogba and especially Rashford being out really isn't good for them so a strong home win will probably be likely.

I doubt it's a priority and from the quote above it doesn't look like it's a quick/easy fix to remove them, but them being there isn't really an issue. I don't even notice them to be honest and I even had to check that they were publicly displayed if you hadn't filled the details in. You could even use them to put some other info there as there's not much space for additional info (contact or otherwise) and others have done this in the past. I'm sure on the new forum there will be ones for all the current big socials and if not I'm sure they'll be added at some point.

Why not? If you've paid for it then you might as well use it. Some people like to show that they've purchased it, which is often one of the reasons they donate in the first place.


This is a prime example of why I think we should include new and reasonably-priced donator ranks. I think a lot of people would purchase them for a few perks.


This is why we need Silver/Gold/Platinum/Lamborghini Member memberships. Copper does seem a bit silly when you're already a higher rank but Gold and Platinum memberships would look pretty nice. I know these would be very in demand so it seems silly no to implement them really because they have numerous benefits to the forum which would include putting an end to account farming. We could even give all the money to charity if the forum doesn't "need" the money so even more good would come of it.

Nah. Both are trolls but PG is more intelligent and entertaining as annoying as he may be. Cryptohunter is a special type of moron who has gone full retard. I think he actually goes way past being a troll and actually has some mental issues that have either been caused or certainly exacerbated by this forum hence his need for validation from everyone here and his desperate over-compensating. Whilst I can see why you suspect them as going awol and another account signing up the same time is a bit suspicious, if we were going by that then there's lot of other accounts that you could link, but that alone isn't enough proof especially given the lack of anything else tying them together and dates of users registered/going awol can be deceptive and misleading. I used to think that Big Boobies talkinDoubleD and Nigerian CocoPalm Farmer belonged to the same group of trolls as The-One-Above-All/Cryptohunter but that was very likely not the case as other evidence presented itself over time:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2579977 Big Boobies talkinDoubleD     April 11, 2019
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2580397 Nigerian CocoPalm Farmer April 11, 2019
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2580400     The-One-Above-All     April 11, 2019

They all had a beef with signature campaigns and made the same sorts of threads complaining about mods and given their registration dates it looked very compelling. The-One-Above-All's first post was even a response to a thread Nigerian CocoPalm Farmer created: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5130756.msg50561852#msg50561852

But it was just a coincidence and they were actually a separate group belonging to this guy that was exposed eventually: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5184777.msg52461972#msg52461972

I'm not so sure about the Tottenham match, but these are the games where people can grab some points from the others. It's away and there's no Kane and given Watford's pretty good run of three wins I'm thinking of the draw here. I definitely don't think I'll be backing the Spurs win. Watford getting a win against Man U is pretty big for them and they managed a draw at Sheff United which is also a big result this season given how well they're doing and are only two points behind Manchester themselves. They could even overtake them this week as I doubt Man U are going to beat Liverpool but I'm not sure Sheff will beat Arsenal away. That's another game I might go for a draw on though maybe the 1-0 home win is tempting.

Brighton/Aston Villa and the Norwich/Bournemouth are another couple of matches that you can't really split and ones where I might go for the draw or another narrow home win but draws are looking more appealing to me right now. I'll wait for line-ups before I commit to anything though.


I see a couple let you down. I suppose it was worth the punt at those odds.
