Or you could read the post right above yours that gives the real reason:

This is a lie. Faucet sites have been around for many years, and sites trying to make money from referrals aren't new either.

Faucets will never give "maximum returns". It's crummies at best, and a waste of time in general.

This is not what Bitcoin is about.

Another lie. You're promoting a site that selectively scams it's users.

I think there are much better ways for anyone to start using and understanding Bitcoin. You're just promoting your own referral site.
Did I say promoting? I mean spamming:

Yes.

Stake doesn't care who they hire, as long as they post a lot (of BS). Their spam was called out 5 years ago, and it's still going.

A signature can be a very good first indication whether or not a post is worth reading. If it's Stake, chances are the only thing I do is click Ignore. It's very rare to see one that's worth my time.

He earned 182 Merits for 399 posts. That's not bad at all, some people seem to appreciate his posts. I quickly checked his post history, and don't even want to read it. Could this be a local board thing, where too much Merit flows towards posts that aren't objectively high quality?

Bitcoin Core doesn't do that. Your OS might kill it though, when it's out of memory.

She's whitelisted now.

I can't tell, I've never used The GIMP for automating anything, but I use ImageMagick a lot. I mentioned it because it may be worth looking into.

You're welcome Having more options is always good

You're not on DT.

The DT1-status on my Trust list viewer is wrong. I'll look into it.

Okay, here's what happened: I fucked up Last week, there was a problem with my usernames scraper, which means I reset and restarted my Trust list update. The week before that, a name change messed up my update, after which I reset and restarted my Trust list update. And this is where I forgot to copy back the DefaultTrust changes. So, in short, the DT1-status on the last 2 updates of my Trust list viewer are outdated. I'll leave the previous week untouched, and I'm currently running an update for the last week. I won't change the time stamp on that week, since no data other than the DT1-status will be altered.
Thanks for noticing this, even though you thought the error was with BPIP.

The fact that it's not even mentioned says it all: it's up to the community. And that's the only way: there's no way for Admin to check who makes what deal in private.

I wouldn't mind. You can't have selective freedom of speech. Freedom of speech comes with campaign managers having the same freedom. If you don't like it, don't join the campaign.

Don't get me wrong, I agree. But that doesn't mean the freedom to do so shouldn't exist. I think we disagree on how much freedom anyone should get on this forum, and I always think of theymos as a bit of an anarchist, so I'm pretty sure he's not going to restrict this freedom.

Interesting question, I've actually thought about it before. I think I've never lied, but I'd instantly have to add a disclaimer: at least not intentional. But that doesn't mean I answer all questions. See this interview for example.
On the other hand, lying is a social construct. Everyone lies many times per day, and most people wouldn't like you if you're always brutally honest.

I'm not saying it's right. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed. The longer I'm here, the more I appreciate theymos' "hands off" approach. Who's going to decide what's right or wrong? There will always be edge cases, and it can quickly become a slippery slope.

No. But we don't live in an utopian world. I'd love to see 99% less advertising in my life. My browser alone has literally blocked millions of ads.

Great questions! But let's keep it up to the community to find an answer, while "upper management" gives us the freedom to choose.

No.
See Coinb.in's Bitcoin Fee Calculator, and play around with the sliders.

Thanks, the word exists But as a non-native English speaker it sounds like "you own cents".

Even if testnet3 ends, nothing is stopping the Ordinal spammers from keeping the chain alive. Or, more likely, they'll find a way to charge their users for bridging their BS to another chain.

I like the idea, but the name doesn't make sense. 10 Bitcoin makes you a satoshi billionaire. Is there even a word for owning 100 million?

Wait a minute, I did that: LoyceV's Topic Details: highlight deleted and edited posts (forum wide) But It's been "temporarily" out of order since 2021. I never bothered to fix it, the problem is my "old" and "new" scraping methods differ. Let's test anyway: https://loyce.club/archive/details/topic_5121375.html (this links to an old archive that isn't updating).

I noticed something else: many Testnet blocks are full! They're close to the maximum "Weight", which means there's a massive number of testnet transactions being created. It's still better than on-chain Ordinal spam on the real Bitcoin blockchain of course.
I also noticed most blocks take slightly over 20 minutes, which is the maximum time on Testnet before the difficulty drops. I think that means barely anyone is mining Testnet with sufficient hashrate anymore.

Correct. It's not forbidden.

Maybe. But if their loyalties can be bought, I'd argue they were never honest to begin with.

I don't think OP was talking about himself.

That's up to you. Lying is allowed on Bitcointalk.

Of course. They can choose who they pay or don't pay.

You could just say nothing.
I've often seen the opposite argument too: if you say the thing in your signature is good, people say you're shilling. It's a fine line, which is why I don't want to adjust my posting based on my signature.

I try not to. That's all I can do. I'm glad no one wants to pay me to say Hamilton Beach mixers are better than Kitchenaid mixers

In the real world, advertising influences pretty much everything around you.

I'm curious: HOW? I always thought those "accelerator" threads were this BS, but this low-fee transaction was actually confirmed by ViaBTC without using CPFP. If that's you, that means you have some "tricks" us mortals don't have, and if that's the case, you don't get nearly enough credit for it. So tell me: how do you do it?

It's possible some malware Fork wallet already stole your Bitcoin. Why would you "switch wallet" instead of create a new wallet and keep the old one?

This doesn't make much sense. If you stored a seed phrase on your computer, you'll have to look at all files containing text. Or maybe even images. You can have given it any name you wanted, so there's no point asking us.

You need to organize your files And take a look at [overview] Recover Bitcoin from any old storage format.

Now you got me curious But I'm not taking the bait, I don't have time to re-read 80 pages.

Look harder

I also see his posts everywhere. It's his legacy on Bitcointalk.
