To be honest I don't know how it works in detail, but if it's resource intensive it really wouldn't make sense to have the forum's stats functions to run the same queries every time any user visits the stats page instead of once in a while and otherwise showing cached info.

Evidently whatever money you brought them over the 20 years wasn't high enough compared to what they reimbursed you with. If I were you I'd be happy the losses amounted to a suspended eBay account.


Fraud is a crime so police report is all that should suffice if the fraudster hasn't done enough to cover their tracks.

The forum never was nor aimed to be a traditional business in the first place, and for the first couple years transparency wasn't a bad thing when the funds raised from selling Donator, VIP titles and donations were being used to pay for the development of the new forum. Forum mods themselves are always free to mix their coins as they please.

Of course, but that's irrelevant to everyone else. I doubt if even Cyrus can see it, it's the accurate tracking part that is resource intensive and clearly didn't scale with forum growth, not page requests. If it did not get fixed to this day I imagine the effort to make it work must be disproportionate to perceived utility (and a lot things get tracked by other users anyway).

There are sections visible only to Staff members, and one made for Donators/VIP.


No, it was disabled for performance reasons, similarly to the global forum stats page.


At least as far as his name goes, theymos has publicly disclosed it himself a very long time ago.

And the 'same' browser can display BB code signatures significantly differently between different operating systems, even if the fonts used by the browser are supposed to be the same. The Chipmixer signatures look nicer to me on Windows than on Linux.

The vast majority get paid less than that, depends on their activity and whether they're Global mods or not (the latter are paid more per action, IIRC). Current forum funds also amount to >1250 BTC: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155000.0 (I'm writing this number here in case someone still failed to follow the link.)

Which means the forum will never have any problems to self-sustain financially.

4.5 sat/vB right now. Sure, gotta look at mempool traffic first, just threw it to give an idea how cheap transactions get to be when traffic is smaller. I bet even at 10 sat/vB whatever his transaction was the final fee would have been a hell of a lot more palatable.

Nagrody od adamvp i cygana otrzymane, wielkie dzięki, teraz jeszcze czekam na info od Flanglera:


PW poszło.

edit: otrzymane, thx.

You can create your own offers and wait for others to buy into them getting better rates than at an exchange but it's definitely for patient people.

Or forget the whatever the suggestions they offer and set the fees yourself, as low as 1 sat/vB if you're spending many UTXOs (or otherwise trying to send a heavy transaction) and aren't in a hurry.

Dzięki za kolejną edycję konkursu, PW poszły.

Jak dobiliśmy do ATH, które było bardzo blisko mojego typu to nie byłem pewien czy utrzymam się na prowadzeniu. I edycja 9. miejsce, II edycja 3. miejsce, III edycja 1. miejsce

I know all about that, he was also very active here on bitcointalk, but with the updates and when he came back it didn't sound like his guilt was certain. Could have been the wrong person at the wrong time.

Nie ma nic za darmo. Szybko, tanio, bezpiecznie, wybierz dwa. ETH jest też bardziej zcentralizowane od BTC i będzie jeszcze bardziej.

Jak ktoś cokolwiek orientuje się w kryptowalutach i mieszka w Polsce to pewnie chociaż o niej słyszał. Poza tym to bardzo mała giełda, założona ledwie dwa lata temu, obsługująca zaledwie kilka walut i ze względu na regulacje środki >1900 EUR muszą być wypłacone w ciągu 1 dnia roboczego. Takie wymogi bycia polską firmą i tzw. małą instytucją płatniczą. Gdyby przenieśli się za granicę to mogliby to ominąć, ale wtedy trudniej o konto PLN i więcej by potrzebowali kasy na rozwój (przy ich obecnych obrotach mało zarabiają).

You're wrong. Almost from the start custodian businesses (e.g. exchanges) were one of the major buyers of these services. Chainalysis gets talked about a lot because that's part of their marketing strategy and they were one of the first to market (not sure if they were the first or not).

Has he actually been convicted and was he actually guilty? When the story first broke of his arrest it seemed he may have been a scammer but there was no certainty about it.

Are you serious? No, I was correcting his and the OP's faulty estimation of the amount of forum funds which are over 10x higher.

I have noticed that both number have increased since your post and no one seems to have started divesting yet. Do you remember what the numbers were at the beginning of March? (latest change to commissions?)
