Can't Loyce just be made a mod already? It's obvious to me that they know their stuff and are making the biggest effort out of anyone else on the forum to deal with spam in the altcoin sub forum.

Excluding existing mods of course.

You might be right but this would also have negative effects on the currency and adoption. For it to be successful and reach mainstream as some people are looking for it to do it would require investment and trading. If everyone held Bitcoin it just wouldn't work as there's not much demand. It no longer becomes a currency but an investment to sell on later if there's no daily trading of it.

No. If it's already been removed then you can't reclaim it again from a different wallet. Otherwise you could duplicate coins and effectively destroy the Bitcoin Cash market. It's probably a visual bug and if you try and withdraw any of the coins there will be an error.

If not and you can withdraw coins then you need to report this bug as soon as possible to prevent abuse.

World currency is a little too far in my opinion. This hasn't been achieved before as every country has it;s own currency. What I do think we'll see is new countries being founded which accept Bitcoin as their official currency. Maybe then in the future we'll see existing countries adopt Bitcoin as an official currency.

When Bitcoin gets closer to being completely mined I think we'll see Bitcoin become more accepted as a collectible rather than a currency though. As more and more coins would of been lost due to personal errors then and get deleted from the system. eventually following this pattern all coins will eventually be lost. Making the remaining ones more valuable but in the very long term dwindling it's existence.

No in our life time. The closer we get to the coins being mined completely the more stable in theory it should get.

You had it exactly right within your first sentence. Bitcoin will continue to be volatile and unpredictable until all coins have been mined. So basically what we are saying it that within your life time you won't see a stable and predictable Bitcoin.

Almost all data that you come across will be to some extent inaccurate. Data also depends on the amount of people they actually took the data off. Obviously the more the better and closer percentage you get.

50% isn't to unrealistic if you think about it and if it's conducted in a city where there's more wealthy people then your likely to have more investors.

It's evident that FlyingHellfish is the most appropriate for the job. It shows in the reports and to have that many reports just in that sub forum is quite impressive. I don't think Vod has enough time to commit to become a moderator and doubt he would be willing to ignore scams from the point of view of a moderator.

It may not be paradise but it's a surely better than some of the third world country prisons you come across there's some very nasty stories about how the prisoners get mistreated or even run the prison themselves. In the latter case that means the strong feed off the weak and the more serious criminals are likely running the place.

I would argue that some inmates don't want to leave prison. Sometimes it's because it's what they are used to and what they've grown up in. People often call it "being institutionalized". Some of course were sent to prison when the roads were much quieter and there was only a few cars around and the world being as it is right now with qualifications are needed for pretty much everything you can understand that they may not want to come into a society which they aren't used too and will get shunned because they have a criminal record. It's quite well documented that prisoners that have been released prison commit a crime just to get back in because they can't fit in. This was shown on Shawshank redemption. It may only be a movie but it takes it's influence from real life stories and if I recall it was based on a true story.

That isn't selling merit though and I don't think selling or trading merit is the problem here. If there's a plausible reason why you've merited someone and you don't continue to do so then I'm sure trading merit to someone for helping you with a problem is fine. Unless it's a really simple problem and then it could become fishy but that's why it's very difficult to enforce merit being rewarded. People are going to give others merit who help them with their problems. By the way that response that you merited looks okay too me.

But the act of selling/trading merit out of gain should be banned for all members and not just merit sources.

They are using the awful reputation that Russia has been given over the years to make claims without backing them up. Let's just have a look at their bullet points and try and answer them without being too bias here.

This at face value looks pretty bad on the Russian behalf. However I think we are forgetting that no one was caught in the act of this and this may have been obtained another way. Just because a nerve agent is only developed in one country doesn't mean that the formula isn't known by anyone else. Okay so maybe they've traced it back to Russia via other means and have evidence that they aren't providing that it came from Russia. But they haven't presented that so all we know is that Russia is the only known location that this is developed and it's likely that's where it came from. This doesn't prove that Russia used it.


This is bullshit. I'm not sure what they are talking about the capability to pull something like this off but it seems pretty amatuerish to me. Someone has poisoned a family with something which is traceable rather than dealing with it through other means which wouldn't be so easily traceable. Why would Russia use something which is developed only in their country.

Motive? There doesn't need to be a obvious motive or even a motive at all. People murder each other every day and it only takes someone within Russia to not take a liking to the victims to try something out. This doesn't mean it was sanctioned by Russia.  

Then they bring up past "malign activity" that Russia has done/been apart of and try to suggest that there is a pattern. No there is no pattern in that whatsoever. I'm not going to defend Russia in any of these because let's be honest a lot of them were incredibly awful. But has anyone noticed that they've included the poisoning of sergei and his daughter in this little image? Yet I don't see 100% proof here and more speculation because of the origin of where the nerve agent comes from.

I'm sorry but we as the public should not accept assumption and should demand that a proper investigation is taken out and that EVIDENCE be provided instead of being spoon fed what they think happened and what is plausible. They haven't provided any evidence and are using the public perception of Russia to paint a picture and get the public to dislike them further. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas why evidence hasn't been given and we've been given this very brief (in terms of context) briefing.

Bitcoin has already changed our future. How? Well there's multiple ways but here's one; It's encouraged hardware manufacturers to come out with specialized equipment for mining Bitcoin which in turn has resulted in an advancement in technology in terms of computing power. Let's also look how the blockchain is being implemented by many different businesses there's been talk that several top level universities are going to be hosting public records on their own version of the blockchain.

Without investing it's quite hard and normally requires luck with the free rolls on a lot of the gambling websites. If you have nothing to invest at all then you need to look at the skills that you have. It's quite obvious when you have programming skills that you can offer those to people. But there's also other things that you could look at. Maybe you are a lawyer and could offer legal advice or you are a fitness guru and want to share your progress which you could make a blog about and then sell workout routines for Bitcoin.

Something that everyone can do though if they are part of this site is earn via writing articles about anything via steemit: https://steemit.com/

Basically you write articles that other people can upvote and the more upvotes you receive the higher the amount you earn. It becomes really addictive once you start getting people following you and upvoting your content. 

I like the way you are thinking about this rather than just agreeing with everyone else on the matter of anonymity. Personally though I would probably disagree with your point that some things just need to be public and others private. I value coins which have as much privacy as possible.

Yes it does have it's draw backs but there's ways of countering this. Only deal with registered businesses which the identity of the person is known. In many countries it is now law to register any businesses whether that is a Bitcoin businesses or one trading in other currencies.

Developers can't do everything for it's users and requires diligence from it's users and them making their own decisions.

It might be a more popular opinion than your leading on here. It's not limited to privacy advocates but at the end of the day Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are normally used because they are transparent in that they are traceable via the blockchain but don't give away any personal data which I think is something which should be encouraged in all fields.

Drops are to be expected with any coin. Bitpbay has always had these drops and much more significant ones in it's history. It's a shame that this sub forum has gone haywire with spam because this is being drowned out by the rest of the garbage posted here.


Besides icos only bring in people looking to earn a quick buck and will cause much stability issues which could cause the project to lose it's value that it's worked so hard to get.

the merit system shouldn't discourage users to share their view on things either. You make thing someone may not agree with your post? Do not worry it's not like down votes are a thing in this forum yet. As long as you are posting up to date relevant information and most importantly original content then you should expect to pickup merit points along the way. You shouldn't expect to gain several hundred merit points in a small time frame unless you have contributed greatly.

The merit system it working as a whole although it has caused a few little problems here and there like for instance many people are copy and pasting older topics or older replies and trying to pass them off as their own. This is quickly being regonised and dealt with either by defaulttrust or the moderators.

maybe what we should consider is a system where people who do not have merit can flag a post up for review by a merit source. I think this way merit sources wouldn't have to worry about finding posts actively and can rely on the rest of the community to find them and their job would only be to distribute them fairly.

The name "Provably fair" means it's already been publicly disclosed that their code is fair and therefore proved that it is fair. Now I'm now sure how this is checked and how we can assure that their code hasn't changed since releasing this information but thats why I would only ever recommend gambling on registered companies or sites like stake.com

Yeah I only ever read topics about alternate currencies and Bitcoin. I don't own an account there I just read by visiting the page. I'm guessing only members who have earned on the site can up vote topics? I'll consider looking into it and participating myself.

I guess this can't be used as a full time wage but more of a hobby which pays so if you enjoy writing informative posts or anything of that sort then it could be beneficial.

Users can write articles about cryptocurrency and possibly other topics and receive money per view? I think it's per view but could be mistaken there. Generally people post guides on how to do things but I think reviews may be allowed too.

It's a good little earner if you are good at writing and have a good knowledge of the subject.
