It was a pleasure  


Hehe, welcome! I am glad you remembered our discussion. And yes, I did it at your suggestion! Thank you for your opinion and also for offering yourself to help! I appreciated that!

On the other hand, take into account that yahoo62278 was nominated at four categories, which only very few members managed to achieve. Indeed, one of these was "Miss BitcoinTalk" but it is what it is... He received 6 nominations at "Craft master" (ninth place), 3 nominations at "BitcoinTalk ninja" (ninth place) and 14 nominations at "Golden feather" (sixth place). And, of course, 3 votes at "Miss BitcoinTalk" (ninth place) -- here he got just one vote less than LoyceV

Loooooooooool!

---

Oh boy!

Did you have that feeling only yesterday? Or are you feeling everyday that Royse is a woman?

---

No, we're not. I said at many times in the past:



What? 13 inches?

It feels like a gang war is preparing nutildaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah are you filming this?

Thank God I am not using pineapple on pizza and I only eat traditional Italian style pizza  



I hope I'm safe based on my neutrality.

Multumesc frumos pentru gandurile bune!


Intr-adevar, fara niciun fel de modestie, ai reusit ceva mare! Eu unul oricum aveam de gand sa te nominalizez la "Descoperirea anului", intrucat pe mine m-ai impresionat de cand ai aparut aici, in sectiunea romaneasca, cu merite suficiente de a fi Hero si - mai mult - pornind de la zero! Dar m-a uimit si pe mine faptul ca ai avut si acele doua nominalizari de la ceilalti membrii ai gastii puiului de vulpe, care sunt, totodata, si cei cu cele mai multe merite de pe intreg forumul! Felicitari si din partea mea!


Combaterea spam-ului este, intr-adevar, o activitate care necesita timp. Sa stii insa ca nici eu nu o fac permanent. Am uneori cateva luni libere si atunci "rup", cu minim 500 de raportari pe zi, dar si (multe alte) luni la rand in care nu fac nicio raportare. Eu unul iti tin pumnii, indiferent de directia pe care o vei alege

Sa nu uitam, totodata, ca si NeuroticFish a avut nominalizari! Ca urmare, putem spune ca "toata partea activa a sectiunii romanesti" a fost nominalizata 

Asa este, confirm! Tin minte sigur ca, in urma cu cativa ani (prin 2018 cred) am cumparat personal de la un ZebraPay. Aveam vreo 30 lei sau ceva de genul. Nu m-a interesat comisionul, eram doar curios sa vad cum functioneaza sistemul. A fost frumos, elegant, fara KYC...


Clar! Pana la urma, stim ca peste tot sunt camere montate. Si in oras, si pe strazi, si in magazine... ne-am obisnuit cu ideea de supraveghere permanenta, cum spunea si Orwell. Dar e diferenta de la a sti ca esti filmat alaturi de multi altii, prin oras sau printr-un magazin, si a sti ca este o camera orientata fix spre tine, pentru a te inregistra doar pe tine.


Poate ar fi o idee buna sa incercam sa ne interesam fiecare, in limita timpului, sa vedem daca mai descoperim alte statii de plata similare. Poate ca mai exista si altele de unde se poate cumpara bitcoin si care sa nu solicite KYC.

---

Ca idee, daca doresti sa cumperi crypto in provincie, sau daca ai cunoscuti care doresc dar nu vor sa treaca prin KYC, BitcoinRomania are o retea de 86 de aparate in toata tara. Alternativ, cred ca ar putea fi intrebat si Razvan, daca are cunostinte in alte orase. Fiind vechi in bransa, cred ca ar mai putea recomanda pe unul sau pe altul.


Nici pe mine nu m-ar mira...

I am able to provide you a team of professional translators for Romanian, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Greek, Turkish and Indonesian languages. It's possible that soon to be able to come back to you for being able to translate in some more languages. All the users from the team have Sr. Members, Hero and Legendary ranks, all have a good reputation inside the forum and they are also experienced with translations.

Please check your PM for more details.

SeeBiscuit, I could not stop noticing that all the offers you received so far came from Newbie accounts. While I don't want to point the finger at anyone, I would advise you to be very careful with new members or users without reputation / background / positive Trust score, as you don't know anything about them nor you know if they will do a proper job or not, unless you have a method to verify their work (e.g.: have a native of respective language to check for you if the translation was done using Google Translate or it was done in a professional manner).

Besides, translations made with automated tools are breaking forum rules. To be more precise, according to Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ:

Whoa! So many participants at the quiz today! I just gathered the last posts of those of you which are limited by your ranks to post pictures, in order to help you have your scores displayed in full pictures.


As a side note, for some reason, the images uploaded on Ibb could not be shown in full picture. I don't know why that happened, as I did not encounter this issue before. The ones which had problems were BountyProgram, Cuking88, Web$$$ and Kb2. For you I made an effort and I uploaded your pics on imgur, in order to have them properly shown. Thank me later

The Italian Brotherhood
Supreme Leader: fillippone, which is involved also in other shenanigans with Merit Cycling Club
Known members and adulators (wannabees): gbianchi, giammangiato, bitbollo, turtlecute, conilmionome, Paolo.Demidov, babo, Plutosky, hymperion, duesoldi, mendace, creep_o, Lillominato89, and the rest of the clan.
Reputation: in my opinion, the greatest brotherhood can be found inside Italian board. This gang looks so fearsome that even The Supreme Leader of The Thick-Skinned Gang said it's scary.
Activity: more research needed. The gang was just exposed, by an accidental mistake, and now it needs to be investigated properly in order to find out what interests its lieutenants have.
ANN: none.
First mention: February 4th, 2034, 16:40:34, when LoyceV exposed them (most likely, this was possible due to a fatal mistake of their leader, which mentioned their local mafia in plain sight).
Misc: their war cry is the following one: "3,2,1 all’ Italian mafia… si accettano scommesse…". In the end, wolwoo was right when he said that "the forum is run like a family, like the Corleone family"!
Emblem: none.

When you said above that you prefer to have your phone searched I believed that you mean that, in case you are stopped at the border for a device check, then from all digital devices you carry you'd prefer to have the phone searched -- and this intrigued me Why the phone and not the tablet, for example.

However, what you just said now put things in a totally different perspective Yet even when having to choose between a cavity search or a phone check, based on the skills earned during last years inside the foxhole, a cavity search should not be a problem -- but the opposite: a pleasure

Now that's a great gang indeed! I'll think about a nice description and I'll come back with it!

Perhaps I did not understand well what you meant above. I thought you are saying that there is no limit for the money which someone can carry with him when crossing the border, not about a cash limit for a transaction.


I understand what you are trying to say. You examples are sound and coherent. But I believe they are true only if you talk about fiat money. Since crypto raises suspicion in the eyes of authorities only by hearing this term, I am afraid (like really afraid) that declaring it may raise even more suspicion, out of no where. What if you don't have (even at home) proofs like KYC for your funds? Maybe you simply received 1000 BTC in the age when it was 1$ or less.Will you declare you are carrying 23M$ in BTC and, if you'll be asked for its provenience you'll say that it was a gift? Do you really think this would work?

La revedere

Looooool! I am sure that no country shows that kind of statistics


Now you made me curious. Why is that? 


I also thought about that: how many employees they need in order to search everybody's phone digital device. I assumed they certainly don't have many enough for this, nor they have time enough for properly checking even the devices they are checking. I guess the action can be seen as a tryout: they may have a predetermined number to check each day -- let's say 10 devices. If they find anything suspicious then hooray to entire department; if not, that's fine too.

Great job, ibminer! I checked the new implementation and it's there and fully functional! I am glad that my suggestion was helpful


You mean this one?



If yes, I can confirm that it also works. However, I just noticed something: the name of the section (and also of the new menu entry) is "Most posted profiles". It sounds to me like... a bit of forcing English language. Maybe this section should be named "Profiles with most posts"? Or any other way you find feasible, but make sure it won't force the language?

I'm not sure if this is intentional, but I can not see any card generator anymore Oo

I take this opportunity to share some more interesting and funny facts I noticed during voting period. I hope you'll all enjoy!

• Most united local board: Italian, by far. In my opinion, the greatest brotherhood can be found inside Italian board. This is because their members voted mostly for other Italian members, encouraging each other. I observed such behavior inside German board, for example, but Italians seems to be the ones best at supporting their people. Respect to that!

• Most weird / creepy vote:

• An interesting debate: Sarah Azhari trying to convince yahoo62278 that he may be a girl

yahoo62278 seemed to take this possibility seriously, thus he made some plans in case he'd actually find out that he is a girl:

• Most philosophic explanation for Antihero category:

• The sad user:

• An interesting suggestion:

• The new discovered girl:

5Ksana_HandMade. As far as I know, this user has never been nominated before.

• Sexism against men:

• Insights about The Sceptical Chymist's cloths + trolling theymos:

• A very aesthetic vote:

• Funniest vote:

• The man closest to win at Miss BitcoinTalk category:

BitcoinGirl.Club ended up on fourth place, at one vote distance from third place  

• Another interesting debate:

BlackHatCoiner trying to convince o_e_l_e_o that he is a man

• The endless debate about our Supreme Leader's gender:

(Note: these are just a few examples, but the discussion lasts for years now  )



Guys, those of you which are so curious should know that our dear fillippone made a comprehensive list with possible genders of Foxpup

Congrats to all three of you for completing the quiz! I awarded each of you with a merit which, given the fact that both of you met a long time ago the activity criterion for Jr. Member, will promote you to this rank. And, since from now on you'll be able to post pictures yourselves, make sure you learn how to do it properly. Always set height=300 to your pictures, thus you won't fill the entire screen. Use this command:


Also, make sure you use the guidelines from the topic I created for uploading pics on the forum - How to post images from imgur (Jr. Members and up) -- Revamped.

I will upload now both your scores as full images and, when your rank will be upgraded, you'll be able to do it yourselves.

---

Ahan$, you have a pretty big score for a Newbie... I hope you did not cheat

It's not very low, you still answered correctly to almost a half of the quiz And your next one will certainly be better, since you already know the questions now, lol. But you can search the forum for other quizzes, as there are also some quizzes made by others.

I will quote your score in full picture below, as your rank does not allow you yet. And, as I wrote with other occasions as well, make sure that in order to post images you have to write the URL of the image between a "img - /img" BBCode sequence, not just the URL. This topic may help you: How to post images from imgur (Jr. Members and up) -- Revamped.

---

Congrats for the score. I will also post the full picture of your score and I recommend you too to read the above mentioned topic for learning how to properly post images. Since this merit I gave you will promote you to Jr. Member, you'll be able to post images but you also need to learn how to properly do it.

Congrats! This is a good score I also gave you a merit and it'll promote you to Jr. Member. Good luck in ranking up!

Also, take note that for posting images you have to write the URL of the image between a "img - /img" BBCode sequence, like the one below. Also, make sure to set an adequate size to your picture, for not filling whole screen. In order to do that, add a "height=300" after "[ img ]".


I also posted your score as full screen, since your rank-up to Jr. Member did not occur immediately after I sent you the merit.

---

Every member needs to know the questions? Then where would be the fun? Perhaps you meant the answers, not "the questions".


That's because icopress and I did an intense brainstorming for finding questions really difficult to answer, thus incentivizing participants to explore in-depth the forum, in order to find the answers. The purpose was to help them learn as many things as possible about BitcoinTalk.


If you want you can check the forum for other quizzes too. There have been others in the past and, if you find them, they would be interesting to complete.

Here, let me help you with posting the full image of your score, since your rank does not allow you.

Ohhhhhhh got you now! And I saw it, you are right! I confirm, the link is there and it's accessible.


The "?" are indeed on the home page. Maybe they can be extended a bit, though? Of course, if code allows. Regarding the place of the link for Most posts, at the moment, the description shown when clicking on the "?" of Activity looks like this:


Maybe you can insert the hyperlink for Most posts on the "posts" term highlighted by me? Alternatively, there is an empty line between the last line (the one with highlighted "posts") and the term "registration". Maybe the line with "posts" can be placed on this empty line from above, thus in the text box last line will be empty and you can add there something like "For Most posts click here".


Yes, it makes sense.

This is interesting, as it shows how agile if the mind of a web designer and coder

Awww, merci frumos! Chiar daca nu era ceva ce mentionasem anterior ca mi-as fi dorit neaparat, ma bucur pentru premiu oricum Si, in special, ma bucura faptul ca am putut participa la aceasta editie speciala a tombolelor lui krogoth. Ii scrisesem si lui, in topicul tombolei: nu stiu cate concursuri au mai organizat altii, dar sunt sigur ca niciunul nu se apropie de cate a aranjat el. Incredibil!


Multumesc frumos! acesta este un premiu special pentru mine. Pe de-o parte, ma bucura faptul ca am putut petrece atat de mult timp curatand forumul. Pe la finalul lui 2021 si inceputul anului trecut am avut o perioada de vreo 4 luni, daca nu mai bine, in care faceam zilnic minim 500 de rapoarte. De multe ori ajungeam la 1000. Dar stateam de la 8 dimineata pana la 6 seara. In perioada aia nici nu prea mai postam pe forum (poti sa te uiti la postarile mele din acel interval, sa vezi cat de putine au fost).

Pe de alta parte, ma bucura faptul ca oamenii au apreciat munca mea, in conditiile in care, de cele mai multe ori, nu prea este observata munca celor care curata spam-ul si a celor care expun teparii. Nici theymos nu a ajutat prea mult in acest sens, intrucat anul trecut nu a mai postat obisnuitul topic cu statistici ale reporterilor din anul anterior. Asa ca am apreciat foarte mult sa vad ca am fost si eu apreciat.

In sfarsit, in cazul acesta, premiul este mai putin important. Titlul acela insa atarna greu

RickDeckard both agreed and refused

Inside his soul he accepted the prize. However, as he has a big heart, he proposed something else: he says he wants to make a charity topic inside Collectibles board, where to donate the amount won at this giveaway for icopress Ukraine donation address. And also see how much he can obtain for this card, if I understood well. And donate this amount too. And have me send the card to the winner.

Now I know about our giveaway rule and I have a solution for not breaking the rule and also support RickDeckard in his noble gesture. As I have more than one card of this kind (I have a set of 5 cards, from which I already sent one to gbianchi), I will co-sponsor your next giveaway with another card and also help RickDeckard and send a card to the one he'll tell me to do it

Is this okay with everybody?

No, what I had in mind was to have a link somewhere on home page for the ladders of Most posts and Most earned merit. From what you said above I understood that two more columns won't fit the home page, therefore I suggested that, maybe, even two links written on the home page, redirecting to these two ladders may help.

A link could be named "Most posts" and the other one "Most earned merits".

And I suggested that they could be placed at the left, respective righ side of the "M" and the "R" from "MATR".

They would be just two links to the ladders, indeed, and not the entire ladders, but the advantage would be that these ladders could be also accessed from home page. Does this make sense? I hope I explained better now what I had in mind
