It got hacked by some scammer. There were a whole bunch of accounts hacked around the same time then. I didn't use a very strong password as I felt a forum wasn't a particularly critical website, but still sucked.
Did you even attempt to convince theymos or other admins to recover your account? I agree with you and recall that there were quite a few accounts that were hacked during various periods, and it seems that that mine, Adam's and quite a few others were hacked in late 2016. Was yours hacked in 2017? I think that there were a large number of usernames and passwords that were stolen (a kind of data breach, if I recall? but it may have also been related to the Yahoo data breach or another one that caused access to info that was also used on the forum?) I got mine back within about two weeks, and various kinds of attempting to prove my account, which were a bit lame, but it seems that I provided a sufficient amount of info to recover my account. My second screw up was when I got locked out of my account from a screwy way of trying to recover my password.. I think that was November or December 2016, and I was unable to use my account for over a month.. with my continuous petitioning, but finally admin gave me back my account. Last legit post was August 3, 2017. Hacker started posting August 5th, 2017. I didn't have a private key of a staked bitcoin address, which they required for me to prove I owned the account. In any case, that account now also has negative trust and is marked as a 'scammer', not sure how I would go proving that that wasn't performed by me, so not sure how desirable it is to get the account back. They froze the account though, so it's not active anymore. My biggest regret looking back was not reporting the hack earlier. Had I not procrastinated, maybe some people would not have been scammed out of their money. |

Also, how does seeing words like "digitized assets" not trigger 4000 scam alerts in people's brains the second they see them? Seeing words like that is a complete joke to me. Even a "mortgage backed security" sounds more legit. Humans do not live in the fucking matrix. There's no such thing as a "digitized asset". Assets only exist in the physical plane. This is all scammer kike-speak.
Today I learned electrons are not a part of the physical universe, and software has no value. Will continue to follow the teachings of my angry guru to obtain fully raged enlightenment. |

pity your old account is gone (how did you lose it?)

I didn't use a very strong password as I felt a forum wasn't a particularly critical website, but still sucked. There but for the grace of god... Chucked you a bunch of merits, if you stick around and post a little more often you will reach a level you can wear the hat before too long. Thanks (and xhomerx10 as well) ! |

Guess I need to finally pick an avatar so I can get in on hat mania. I'm feeling left out lol.
I've always had trouble posting pics. Can any of my kind brethren help me with posting one from my phone gallery? Not 100% sure if this is what you are asking about, but one way to go is to upload to an image uploading website like imgur, then for posting on this forum put the url between [ img] insert url here [ /img] (lose the spaces between square brackets for the code to work). |

Sounds like someone is insecure and overcompensating.
Sounds like someone doesn't know their memes. Whoa! Nice hat Yefi! Gotta love this thread. |

Guys is this the right time to invest? Please let me know. I need money fast.
Personal responsibility, look it up. |

There is a fair chance this is a way to check if he can launder some "dark" Bitcoins... That has nothing to do with the fact that he proved he does indeed control the Bitcoins.
I had not even considered this. Similar to maffia guys buying up winning lottery tickets, you just say: I won this in a puzzle competition. An interesting concept to consider. EDIT: Then again, the puzzle was out there, the private key was free to be extracted by all for over a week. Would you really risk that chance if you are just trying to launder money? |

I’m not sure how they account for transaction batching in the NVT calculation, as the number of transactions is falling due to batching. Thanks, makes sense. I found some useful info here but it dates from May 2018. Key paragraph: 3.4 Has transaction count become an unreliable measure of Bitcoin’s usage because of batching?
Yes. We strongly encourage any analysts, investors, journalists, and developers to look past mere transaction count from now on. The default measure of Bitcoin’s performance should be “payments per day” rather than transaction count. This also makes Bitcoin more comparable with other UTXO chains. They generally have significantly variable payments-per-transaction ratios, so just using payments standardizes that. (Stay tuned: Coinmetrics will be rolling out tools to facilitate this very soon.)
More generally, we think that the economic value transmitted on the network is its most fundamental characteristic. Both the naive and the adjusted figures deserve to be considered. Adjusting raw output value is still more art than science, and best practices are still being developed. Again, Coinmetrics is actively developing open-source tools to make these adjustments available.
I lack the knowledge to see whether and if so, how this would impact the NVT Signal. The questions are whether NVT Signal looks at transaction volume and whether batching would distort that metric (not necessarily but that depends on how NVT is calculated of course). Google is not giving me articles with conclusive direction. Willy Woo seem to confirm that batch transactions do not impact his NVT ratio: https://twitter.com/woonomic/status/973708939714965504I am curious. Just speaking for myself, I use less transactions now than before. I did use bitcoin for fun little purchases once in a while, but I stopped doing that after the fees skyrocketed. Until LN is in a sufficient mature state, I don't plan to make purchases in bitcoin again, only using it as a store-of-value and speculative instrument. |

I would hodl (anyone who isn't an idiot would) and post dick pics all over the forum. Not even the small winners have come forward. Until I see the 310 btc solution I would say there was never 310 btc. The smaller amounts, sure. Maybe.
BS, he provided a signed message which everyone can check. If it was fake, he would have been called out on it immediately. The only thing you might think is that he sent it back to his own address, but I highly doubt that. |

Yeah, crap, I just learned about it today, started working on it for a bit. I found the line at 310, but that's about it. Then saw in posts that people were way past that already. Don't think my knowledge, skills and intelligence would have been sufficient to find it if I heard about it from the start, so probably a personal time-saver that it was found today . |
