Well, maybe a chatbox that only allowes the Heroes / legendaries and Full members to chat. MAYBE then it'd work. Or maybe there could be a Merit gate as in you require at least XX amounts of merit to be able to use the chat box. The Merit system is already weeding out the spammers that way the forum would get it's very own dedicated troll box.
I miss a proper troll box ever since btc-e went down.

This should not be in Crypto marketplace ... considering there is no crypto involved at any stage.

Not safe to do it. Especially considering you are a newbie. It's best if you sell online.

I have given solar a thought but I am not sure how reliable it would be.
The majority of power problems arise during summer when there are storm clouds almost all the time. And it is primarily during these times when the power goes out.

On the other hand I do have a high speed dsl broadband.. but when the grid goes down, the server station also goes down with it, taking away the connectivity with it.

Anyone (even I) can easily setup a SMF forum for you, if you want to make the next best thing then I suggest you first visit the alternate forums that already exist, try to follow what they got right that Bitcointalk got wrong.
Some of the top alternate places in my opinion :
Bitco.in
Cryptocurrencytalk.com
Cryptointalk.com

A generator is loud, and not that suitable for a residential area.

We used to have one. Lovingly called the Newbie jail.
I suggested an alternative Merit Jail as well.
I think there should be more mods but that's my pov. I am pretty sure the forum can afford it. It's a matter of will and consensus.



He recently did that with the Politics & Society admin picking thread.
What if it could be a paid gig? Each time you report something that is legitimately BS, you get paid a small amout of btc. Kinda like a faucet.
But not everyone can do this, maybe a select group of people who are not biased against signature renting but do not have paid signature spots themselves.

Makes sense?

So no one in this forum actually finds them in the same spot as I?
Am I the only one living in such conditions?? 

LBC is a VERY safe option.
So is Localethereum (yeah its a thing)


On the contrary, getting a foreign bank account is very easy, if you're willing to travel.
You cannot open a proper bank account offshore by sitting at home. (unless the trick mentioned in the article below actually works)
You can open a regular foreign bank account in Georgia very easily, the time taken to process your application can range from half a day (or less) to 2 days at max and you also get an international visa / mastercard debit card.

And there's this trick you can try out; that I read about couple of days ago - I mean after all the RBI fiasco started happening : https://www.sovereignman.com/finance/a-simple-shortcut-for-a-foreign-bank-account-1384

I haven't tried it out yet but I'll give it a shot.

The world moving on from Bitcoin? Not going to happen.
An interim relief is not a victory at all, it is just an 'interim relief'. The deal with any economical movement in a country involves the legislation first and then a governing body is formed and then the action is taken. But here the thing is reversed in case of Bitcoin, we were always standing on pillars of sand with no legality defining our existence within the country. To terraform those pillars or sands into the shoulders of atlas we'll need to form a political body that can 'lobby' for us. Buy the gov. like multinational corps bought this BJP gov & put it to power.

Such a ban - if you can call it that, was necessary, we will now get our act together and take the right steps that we should have taken way back in 2011.

You know what I think? You're just spewing a shitpost to meet your minimum post count.
There are other posts already discussing the same thing, what purpose does your half assed post really serve? Since you are just parroting a common rhetoric.

And
Let me know when you find out which country on this planet does that.

Technically, if they are actually able to process bank withdrawals / deposits, then in the absence of the 3 giants of cryptos in India : Coinsecure / Unocoin / ZebPay, they may very well be the next big thing. But take that with a pinch of salt.

The stupid and most obvious thing is, the same RBI issues that plague the giants, should also be affecting these guys. Unless .. they switch to a pure crypto exchange like Binance.. which is unlikely because they are claiming to process IMPS on their site.

So remind me again, why are people calling this Ver guy an expert if he has no clue about what he's talking about?

Crypto from day one has been poised as a disruptor and for the first time in India at least, it is acting like it. They have finally stopped looking the other way and turn their heads towards crypto, but they fail to realize that they are almost a decade too late to make any real effect. If anything this will (and has) only cut back their revenue from taxes.

As far as stay order is concerned, petitions have already been filed and you can expect an interim stay order would be affected on the first day of the hearing or at least within the first month of the hearing start date. As far as I know that is the common procedure in such instances, look at the Aadhaar case for instance.


Didn't notice this before. But signed. Also glad to see you still around and kickin'.

When I started out with my tech adventure about two decades ago I thought I had this shit under control. Back then there were no UPS's so my father hooked me up with an inverter and a car battery, mind you this was back in 1998-ish so this was expensive here in India to acquire an inverter.
Ever since then I've had some form of power backup or the other, if not for everything then at the least my computers. Hey! It's my bread & butter.
But since the last one and a half year, my luck has been sucked dry like the juices of all my UPS' batteries.

And no, UPS is not United Postal Service.

In just the last one month I have lost more projects here than I'd like to admit. I take one project, boom storm hits, and I'm out for about 3 days up to a week sometimes.. I come back, salvage my rep and go for another project and some weird shit happens and I'm taken out again.
I have two UPS backup systems but they do not protect me for more than 30 minutes. The most stupid thing is once my power goes, so does my internet connectivity, as my broadband is connected through an externally powered modem. The cellular data is very poor in my area, I'd be lucky to see a single whatsapp text message get sent in 5 hours!

So are there any suggestions out there? Have any of you got any suggestions on how do I deal with this relentless streak of load sheddings?

PS: I can't leave the area / city / country, so do not tell me to do that.

reserved to counter these dumbfuck opinions/answers

Stop tailing my topics with all your shit posts.

This is the quintessential example of spreading fud from an individual who is mentally dud.
Banning exchanges does not equate to banning cryptos. There is NO way to ban cryptos.

In India we have banned books, movies and dresses just because they offend our retarded mentality. Its nothing new and such things cannot stop the widespread adoption of cryptos in India.

If anything, even people who didn't know what it was, would now come to know about it.

On the hindsight, if I were to write a parodical sketch about the issue, I'd interpret what they're saying as;
"Crypto bad, you get rich, we get no tax, so we no allow you crypto. But we make our pavitra crypto, buy our crypto, you stay poor, pay us tax, we get rich"

Not sure if sarcasm or appreciation so I won't bite. 

I did a transaction last day, went through in hardly 30minutes on high priority. Even then, the majority payment here is in IOST.
Whatever the problem is, MadZ being too busy and not available for discussion is making the participants somewhat nervy; I guess...



I am a somewhat of a regular trader on Binance so I had traded some IOST on Binance before. So I recognized it from just the name. So to answer your query, yes, the token being paid here is directly tradeable on many exchanges including Binance. But don't go dumping your earned coins. Hold it, this will sound like a broken record but IOST will boom a lot more before it starts to dip.
