I guess everyone knows that what is cursor means which is the term used for mouse pointer and text blinking bar on a computer.Today I found that my mouse cursor moving on itself from one point to another,I noticed this happens for the recent days.I thought it could be accidental touch on the mousepad on my notebook but I visually saw that today the mouse cursor moving itself without any touch from myself and this also happens with 'caret' the text blinking bar which misplaces while I am typing something (even now).

I would like to know how to fix this and what could be the reason for this?

wrong forum to start with.

2122  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi Nakamoto, here's an idea for you (if you are still out there): on: October 29, 2019, 06:11:15 PM
The idea is a good one as people would get interested and open up a bitcoin wallet just to get an airdrop of about a dollar. Everyone loves free money.
And as they get used to using bitcoin and have an idea about it's future, it would certainly increase the adoption.
But I don't think that would even be possible for a coin as decentralized as bitcoin. Even satoshi can't force anyone to go through it unless we have a huge consensus.

For a cheap fun, I'd travel to Singapore, China, South Korea and Japan. These are near to each other and has one of the friendliest crypto economy. Bitcoin is readily accepted in many part of these country as a payment and you can get by by exchanging bitcoin to cash when you need it.

Another viable option could be Europe, Baltic nations are one of the friendliest crypto economy.

Of about 50 co-workers in my office, just four of us hold any significant amount of bitcoin. A dozen of young people know about blockchain and how bitcoin works.
Due to bitcoin in news, almost all of them know it as a cryptocurrency.
People here mostly look at bitcoin as an investment opportunity and as it's debate of legality makes people hesitant on holding it. It's illegal to trade crypto here but nothing said about holding.

There used to be a never ending rise and fall of multi level marketing scheme and pyramid scheme in the past and blockchain technology has eased that up.
Such scam grow in the expense of gullible investors who lose their money due to greed. These type of ponzi projects are prevalent in one form or other in almost every part of the world. There was even a ponzi that gave a certificate of ownership of it's coin rather than actual coin.
2126  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Market is Not Ready for Libra on: October 28, 2019, 07:52:55 PM
It's actually Facebook (Libra) that's not ready for the market. Market demands change, it demands new technologies, it demands freedom.
Facebook on the other hand is a money oriented company, whatever their motive be with Libra, they hurt another large money oriented business of politics.
Politician has been creating this fake sense of authority over people using oppressive laws making it a business. Libra is just a collision between two businesses.
If Facebook really want's to create a crypto, no one can stop them.
2127  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency usage will boost economy or make it worst ? on: October 28, 2019, 07:48:46 PM
What if all those big corporates and businesses starts using crypto as a mode of payment just to avoid tax which will cause a direct loss to the government which uses tax for the betterment of the country. This might not affect corrupt countries as it doesn't matter because tax money goes to politician's coffers but what about developed nations?

Crypto would actually get rid of different middlemen whether that be an agent or a government and in the process make international and national trade more efficient increasing the productivity and decreasing cost. It would certainly take away the income of some people and taxes from government but that would in long term make us more hardworking and our government more capable as taking away the money both from producer and consumer is not a job but a crime.

We may not know it but everything we see and hear are influencing us to same extent. It would be safe to assume all of us are filled by larger amount of propaganda and lesser amount of truth.
In order to know the right things, we should always keep our mind open to every new and uncomfortable ideas. Listen to everyone and verify every details yourself.
While judging things, we should always provide bias towards the voice that is less heard. By default, the people in power tends to misuse it.

2130  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it Possible To Mine Bitcoin with Supercomputer? on: October 28, 2019, 12:32:43 PM
These Russians were jailed for attempting to mine bitcoin at a nuclear facility. Would they really have gotten coins mining with a supercomputer? https://www.cryptoinfowatch.com/russian-nuclear-engineer-jailed-for-mining-bitcoin-at-work/

There were news of NSA employee mining bitcoin from NSA supercomputer a few years ago. They might have had a good profit.
Super computer are not an efficient mining hardware but they surely perform better than a PC with GPU.
With so much of ASIC mines, I don't think supercomputer would have a very impressive output in today's time.
I just hope google would try mining bitcoin with it's quantum computer and care to share the hash they get.
2131  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do people still create new ERC20 tokens/projects nowadays? on: October 28, 2019, 10:50:57 AM
I was wondering if ERC20 tokens are still useful today and if people still create projects around them? I know the ICO 'feast' is kind of over and that was the main purpose people were launching these tokens for.

Greetings to the community,

Liviu

They certainly do. But the numbers are drastically reduced. Almost all of ICOs are not being able to deliver a profit for the invetors for quite some time. The people looking for ICOs and interested investors.

This list used to contain hundreds of ongoing ICO projects but now there's less than 100.
2132  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase New Phone 2FA Issue on: October 28, 2019, 10:41:42 AM
I created a coinbase account a long time ago.  I used an iphone and i verified my account with my sms phone number.  I don't remember if my 2FA was google authenticator or sms number.  It can be either right?  Because last time when i tried to log into my coinbase account on computer, i could not do it. 



I contacted coinbase on this and they said i need to create a brand new coinbase account with a different email address.  Then upload a selfie for verification.  Then tell them about the situation so any funds i have in that account will move to the new coinbase account.  I was skeptical at this since it meant creating a brand new coinbase account.




To anyone that lost their 2FA phone, is this the proper way to do it?

Is that the support that made you make a new ID and verify with the same document as the previous one? If yes, than you'll surely have your coins shifted to new account with the help of support. I haven't been through that process in Coinbase but had similar incident with Skrill. Mobile seems and network maybe untrustworthy sometimes, so it's best to use a time based 2FA and save the key securely in more than one place.
2133  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In 2019 over 40m cryptocurrency wallets have been created on: October 28, 2019, 12:02:38 AM
Even though they could be multiple wallet of single person, made specifically to claim that stellar airdrop, we could still see there's a large growth of people knowing and using bitcoins.
Personally I have helped a dozen of people about bitcoins and altcoins. I now have a larger local circle of friends who trade and deals in bitcoins. Most of them are still suspicious about its future but they are using it in one form or other.
2134  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Time to get back into mining? on: October 27, 2019, 12:33:36 PM
Since all this while that mining altcoins have not been profitable like before i don't bother to keep mining coins so i just lock my mining rig in a room and now that bitcoin halving is knocking on the door i think its a good time to start mining even if its not profitable? i believe if bitcoin surge over 30k altcoins will take the ride we've been waiting for, anyways, what do you guys think? good idea or bad ?

Bitcoin would probably rise with halving but that would not make its mining profitable from unprofitable overnight. Upto 20K or 20% in April 2020 would be my safe prediction for the rise in price. So, it's much better idea to buy some and hold. The bitcoin and bitcoincash mining are still industrial effort as all of other popular coins move away from mining.

Hope this time it's for sure. Baghdadi was previously killed by Iraq, Russians and US but still he lives. If he's really dead, it would be another great success in neutralizing religious extremism after bin Laden. A joint effort from Middle eastern governments, Russia and US.

Many good discussion here. But the first think government should make free to make a social equality is education and health itself.
If education and health are free, people can afford the meal they want. It has been seen that opportunities to education and health is what shapes the future of a kid.
They would be able to enjoy equal opportunity hence shape their mind on the field they prefer.
2137  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ❓❓❓ What the heck is Ethereum 2.0 anyway ❓❓❓ on: October 27, 2019, 02:53:05 AM
POS is a good move for ETH and this would also maintain the flow of new coins making the adjustments easier. Which could be the ultimate price booster for Ethereum.
There are other technical improvement that would boost the use of the coin itself. Sharding is something new and would require much testing before being implemented in Ethereum as there are many loopholes for hackers when you are not using the POW and a whole blockchain.
2138  Other / Meta / Re: Give moderators the option to demerit when a post is deleted on: October 27, 2019, 02:46:55 AM
The root problem is this:
The merit system appears (from what I can tell) to have been implemented after signature spam had been a problem for a long time. Prior to the merit system being implemented, there were many accounts with a high ranking (including many 'farmed' accounts) that, even today have not produced substantial content. These accounts were grandfathered into their rank when the merit system was introduced.

These so called "zombie" accounts have continued to both post nonsense posts and are participating in signature campaigns such as YoBit and many altcoin campaigns that do not care about post quality/substance.

Proposed solution:
Partially remove the rank grandfather --
If an account was a Full Member immediately prior to the implementation of the merit system, they will need to receive 1/10 of the merit necessary to achieve each rank, up to Full Member, and after they are a full member, they need the full amount of the merit.

As an example, someone who was a Full Member prior to the merit system being implemented, would need 1 merit to become a Member, 10 Merit to be a Full Member, 160 to become a Senior Member, 390 to become a Hero, and 990 to become a Legendary member. To explain, the first 1/10 of the 'air dropped' merit the person received is worth 10x, and each subsequent merit the person receives is worth 1x. This would only be for ranking purposes, and not for trust system purposes.

As another example for someone who was a Senior Member immediately prior to the merit system being implemented, they would need 1 merit to become a member, 10 to become a Full Member, 25 to become a Senior Member, 275 to become a Hero member, and 775 to become Legendary.

If this is too controversial, everyone could retain their publicly displayed rank, but those who are demoted, would only lose their signature features.

It's a better option to disintegrate merit with time. Take away 1 merit for every 100 posts. That way the user would be concerned about making good post to hold their status.
2139  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: How to Increase My faucet traffic? on: October 26, 2019, 05:08:29 PM
First create a working faucet. I checked your faucet, Wordpress faucet, it looked similar to what 99bitcoins had operated in the past.
Your faucet doesn't seem to be operating, I was not able to claim.
Secondly look for a better domain name, go for a full domain if possible or a easier to remember sub domain.
And the last thing is advertising, you can advertise it manually, if it pays in faucethub, you can list it on their faucet list and put it in their forum and chat ads.

The last quarter of this year has been very slow for the starting of any new project. Even the ICO rating sites and ICO news sites are not getting enough content. Most of the projects may be waiting for a favorable time before the issuance.
Most of the new projects are just exchanges. Bitwala is the only established company that have already went through pre sale is going for ICO later this year.
