Read the topic title, that post got 35 Merit 2 minutes and 40 seconds before you posted here  Oh, what I mean to say is of course: thank you for pointing that out. I saw your post in that topic, so I took theymos slightly out of context again: But undoubtedly some people got screwed by this, and if they have decent posts, by all means, give them the 250 or 500 merit that they need to rank-up. Eddie13 now looks like a Legendary who didn't earn a single Merit Update: suchmoon and Foxpup jinxed it |

Bump! Another victim: Thank you for taking care of the forum and fighting the scammers..
Actually, I started following the malicious advice as soon as I obtained the message through e-mail notification.
This way, nervous newbies like me can miss flags/trust scores etc.
I hadn't realized this before, but indeed, if a user follows a link in the email notification, he doesn't see negative feedback or flags! (Unless this is already included in the email, but I have no emails from negative trusted users to check) |

Are you sure about that? I don't think I've seen a new topic on the front page of the ANN board yet since the bumping change. You may be right, the new topic I saw was from a user with high Merit earnings. |

Cryptohunter vs theymos, always a good read whenever theymos engages:
Exhibit AMy opinion is that I'm not going to waste time reading your huge, rambly, low-content posts which you post everywhere. theymos 01 - 00 cryptohunter
Exhibit BWhich mod deleted it? I did. Feel free to rant all you want in your own topics, but quit derailing unrelated topics. - 00 cryptohunter
Exhibit CWe see you doing this over and over again. There are 61 good reports against you in the last 60 days. You're going to get banned if you keep this up. theymos 03 - 00 cryptohunter
Nobody except theymos and our selves may post on this thread. Sue me!
Wow this is Legendary, my 10000 th post   |

they're using the hash of the block which immediately follows the block containing your bet transaction Thanks for pointing this out. Until now, I overlooked the possibility to store the bet itself in a block too. I haven't checked if they really do it, but this takes away my concern: it is possible to do this in a provably fair way. |

Probably before real mass adoption, I would love to see a real change of trend here. Unfortunately, Bitcoin currently can't handle that: With 328,284 transactions per day, 20 million people could each make only 6 transactions per year. A large increase in user numbers is only possible if an off-chain solution, side-chain or custodial wallet reaches mass-adoption. |

What is Recognition?. How it is calculated? Don't worry about it. Plagiarism, that's what you should worry about! Update: https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=Serj88: 9/13/2019 2:51:58 PM Changed to Archived status Autoban user |

I think that the auto-stabilization property I described actually is desirable, though, so I changed the system to provide it. Now your super-bump power is: b*(1-0.15*s/b), where b is your base power and s is the total bump score you've contributed via superbumps over the last 30 days. This gives the same result as the previous algorithm except when any 30-day period overlaps with another. I made a graph to fully understand what this means. With 1 Super bump per day, it takes a couple of months to stabilize to a certain Super bump power. 
Just a thought: New topics still show up on top, so I can imagine someone creating the same topic every day, while archiving the last one.Update: I was wrong  |

The professional bumpers will always win with this complex procedure of bumping, because they will create large merit farms that the small promoter doesn't have time and resources to create Merit abusers have been called out by the community since the introduction of Merit, and eventually the abusers will run out of sMerit to send to their own accounts. To earn large amounts of Merit (from large Merit sources), they'll have to create actual good posts. If "professional bumpers" start posting quality content to keep their business afloat, I'd say that's a win for the forum |

It's contradictory that bump score sorting is forcedencouraged by being the default but
it can't be selected manuallly. Just click the navigation under "MY MESSAGES": Announcements (Altcoins) brings you back to default sorting. Or edit the URL: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0;sort=last_post Remove the last part to go back to default ("bump") sorting: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0 |

In the meantime 800 GB ($16000) is spent every month on a silly lottery. I enrolled a long time ago, but got demotivated witht he bad odds if I refused KYC, so I never checked back. There's a very small chance I won, but since my wallets are in a VM and probably need an update, I didn't check anymore. I'm just posting here to test Bumping changes on some boards. |

Hi, the scammer deleted his thread, so I make a new one. Here's a copy of his post: http://loyce.club/archive/posts/5242/52426205.htmlSo i funded escrow there and he wrote on localethereum, that he sends 5,007 XRP.
You notice, that looks very similar to 5.007xrp , but is 1000 times less. It's really about time planet earth agrees on what to use as a decimal sign! |

For now, I am intentionally not making it public who bumped each topic, since that way you can't prove that you bumped anything, and this may prevent people from selling their bumps as easily. I don't particularly object to making the approximate bump scores or bump powers public, but I didn't do this yet. I would be more happy if bump scores or any kind of proof that you bump a topic would remain private indefinitely since people will just take advantage of it just like whaf they did with the merit system. And you are right allowing a public data on this kind of system would just give members a chance to sell it as some kind of service just like what some other redditors are doing now on selling their upvotes. This works both way: even without showing who bumped a topic, someone could still sell a bumping service. For example, someone could say: "Pay me $10 now and you'll see the topic bumped within 2 minutes". That would be enough evidence for the buyer to know the seller can deliver, while there's no evidence for spam-hunters to identify which accounts are being used. If bumps would be public, it would at least be obvious which accounts are used, and unlike before these changes, bump services can no longer use worthless Newbie accounts. Once caught, they stand to lose their limited supply of accounts that earned Merit. |

it's a thread here in the bitcointalk forum, isn't it? so it would also be good if questions were answered here and not in telegram Instead of answering my question, Cherkez tries to distract from the subject by changing the topic and answers something completely random. Therefore, I've opened a thread in Reputation: vipgame.io claims to be fair but can't prove iti'm glad about the test + short report of LoyceV here. because it's the official thread and therefore everything may be collected here. I honestly don't know why any self-respecting casino would ever post on the Investor-based games board. Everyone knows this board is mainly used for Bitcoin doublers and similar scams. |

Perhaps it would be convenient if all Default Trust members had identification badges ( DT1, DT2) right under their avatars, near Trust link. That goes against the idea/wish/recommendation for all users to create a custom Trust list. |

Update: solved! See dooglus' post!
I'd like to get some feedback from established members. In my experience, when a website owner/promotor evades critical questions, it's usually a smoking gun. However, this is not a scam accusation (yet). Accounts involved: Jr. Member Cherkez ( thread archived) Newbie vipgame ( thread archived). I'll quote the relevant (public) posts about this (I've shortened some of the quotes, and highlighted my main concern in red): Q:Yesterday, I tested your site and went all-in (with my free 0.0005BTC). It produced an error. I clicked again, and I lost the bet. That error made me question fairness, it doesn't look like something a user can avoid, which means it can be manipulated. Question about fairnessVIPGAME uses the EOS transaction hash to generate its results, ensuring absolute fairness to all players.
EOS produces several blocks per second. I'm not familiar with using a blockchain as random input (it's the first time I see this implementation), so I have to ask: how can you ensure the bet uses the next block, and how can you guarantee I wouldn't just get an error if the result is in my favour? Or how can you guarantee you won't select one out of the next two results (in less than a second) after I click? The difference could be caused by lag, but it could also be manipulated. How can a player know for sure it's fair?
The result of VIPGAME is determined by HASH and cannot be manipulated. There may be problems with the network or display. You can join the telegraph group https://t.me/vipgameio and directly report it to the administrator. The result of VIPGAME is determined by HASH and cannot be manipulated. That's not my question. I'm saying you can easily manipulate which hash is used, and you're just repeating the same as the website says. There may be problems with the network or display. You can join the telegraph group https://t.me/vipgameio and directly report it to the administrator. Can you get the administrator to respond here? You're promoting the site on Bitcointalk, I don't care about "the telegraph". Your question has been processed, you can view the VIPGAME wallet Q:That doesn't answer my question at all. So I take it you have no answer, and you can indeed manipulate which hash you use for a bet. I don't believe any casino owner is dumb, so playing dumb makes me even more suspicious: A:Your question has been processed, you can view the VIPGAME wallet That doesn't answer my question at all. So I take it you have no answer, and you can indeed manipulate which hash you use for a bet. Each game result can be found and verified in the EOS main network section. Don't know why you feel that our results are manipulable? ! You can prove how we manipulate the results! If it's just because you lost, then I can't do anything about it. I can only continue to talk about the content on the website: How are the Winning Numbers Generated? DICE :The winning number(00-99) is generated from the next block of the block contains your betting record. For example, the player rolled under 50, the block that contained his betting information was 43116451. So the winning number comes from the next block: 43116452. BlockHash: 0291e7a49bd634fdb726c8b6f6a962b8959183aab4e929941f244b619f0506f7 Starting from the end, the 2 digits are 6 and 7. So the winning number was 67. None of this answers my question. The site claims to have "Absolute Fairness", which they can't prove. The only way to use a future block hash as random outcome for any bet, is if you can be absolutely sure upfront which block is going to be used. In this case, you don't know that because the block hashes are produced very quickly. |

Can we implement a deactivate button for the mini bump? For example I dont want to bump this thread when I post a comment if I'm able to deactivate my bumping feature and post as a newbie it would be perfect. Since you've posted there already, I have a theory for you to test. Based on this: Mini bumps
If you haven't posted in a topic in the last 7 days, posting in it adds 1% of your base bump power to the topic's bump score. Deleted posts count against the 7-day limit, but not the topic's bump score. The way I read it, you can delete your post so it still counts for the 7-day limit, but doesn't add to the bump score anymore. Then, you can post there again, and it won't add to the bump score because you've posted within the last 7 days already. If it works, this is a workaround I can live with Unless I misinterpret this, and theymos meant the bump score won't be reduced after deleting a post. |

Burstposting definition- A person that makes a posts then 1-5 minutes later makes another, and another, and another. I will not add someone here for burstposting if they have 1 post right after another every once in awhile. Sometimes a person reads the forum and makes a reply, then sees another topic they have a constructive reply for, but if quite a few of your posts are 1 right after the other, then you'll find yourself here. I think I fit this definition, but I'd like to think I'm not a spammer. Apart from just posting a lot, I often prepare posts for a long time, then post them all at once. But I assume you also check the quality of those posts, and in most cases burst posting indeed doesn't produce quality. |
