Don't know how could you be so sure if those pictures are AI-generated. The facial features you pointed out seem just about right like a normal human nothing uneven there, at least, according to me. They could be using a fake team but the proof you have posted about the images being computer-generated isn't solid enough. Unless you can point us to an algorithm that confirms your logic?
There are AI generated images detecting software available on the Internet and they are really good at it. That is the aim of the AI generated images, to create an image that truly resembles a real person in the naked eye.
2322  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAmWATCH] NFL Jason Verrett Twitter Hacked; Promoting Elon Musk Scam Site on: March 27, 2021, 03:30:58 AM
It seems that the social attack is what makes many people have their account hacked, but this does not explain the question and the persistence of attackers obtaining a lot of verified Twitter accounts that are used in scam.

One of the problems with Twitter is that verifying accounts has become easy. I know many people whose accounts have been verified and they are directors of institutions or public joint-stock companies and they have only a few thousand followers.
The reason for the persistence of attackers is the effectiveness of the first step which social engineering towards the people that they are targeting and when it is compromised, they sell those accounts depending on the status of the person that owns the account in this case Jason Verrett. I think the verified status doesn't really mean a lot besides being able to distinguish your account from other possible poser accounts.

I checked the website and I have to commend the fact that they really look like a really legitimate website because they have put some effort in making the website, I can't confirm that it is a scam but I am leaning towards, I checked their About Us and I don't find any teams behind the website or the operation so maybe it really is a scam, congrats OP nice catch.
2324  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion about Merit Pop up on: March 26, 2021, 10:34:28 AM
Personally, I don't think that it is necessary that they change the place holder for the merit because this could easily be solved if you are just alert and your head is not in the clouds when you are meriting someone, not to mention that there is a button to press before you can finally send merit which means that you can still review whether what amount that you put there is right so there is close to zero chances of accidental unintended merit amount being given away.

Books on Libertarianism Everyone Must Be Forced to Read
Too bad the basic platform and premise doesn't force people to do anything. Now if we could get Dems and Reps to force THEIR people to read these...
In a free world, it should be an ideal thing that we choose what we want to read. Dems and Reps aren't going to read these because they are allergic to things that are not in line with their interest so anything that can help people, they will be experiencing anaphylactic shock also if someone aligns themselves to this political party or any political party in the world, I automatically assume that they have a low reading comprehension or they don't know how to read.
Lol! If you notice I said "social communism", I'm not talking about communism as in Stalin's time
If I remember correctly, during Stalin's time Russia is called Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) which means that socialism is just another form of communism.
2326  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What are the best ways to get your hands on Bitcoin without spending thousands? on: March 26, 2021, 09:17:25 AM
You were very advanced small boy if you mined BTC at 12 years old. Unfortunately those days when anyone can mine BTC on old equipment and get BTC almost for free had gone forever. Now you need to work hard to earn BTC. News that Elon Mask is “giving 10 000 Bitcoin (BTC) to all community!" is scam! Don’t believe in such news. There is no such thing as a free lunch. If you have no money to invest in BTC look through bounty campaigns here on Bitcointalk, choose one of them and participate in signature campaign for instance. That can bring you tokens without investments.
As if OP is going to be accepted in bounty campaigns and the time of paying bounty campaigns has been gone a long time ago, there is only a few that is doing good and most of the time the team behind do not pay their participants. OP's story is a bit sketchy but I don't have any proof so I think OP might be a sharp guy because OP is mining bitcoin at that age. To answer the title, the only way I can think of that will work for you is buying bitcoin by the hundreds and investing it into something or offer some services.
2327  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Merit "trading" - buying and selling Bitcointalk merit on: March 26, 2021, 08:35:41 AM
the 'merit' system is great IMO...
Just imagine if there was no 'merit' system then we would see tens of thousands of spammer become legendary. The 'merit' system is perfect for getting members to enhance their posts.
I think that was the purpose of Merit system in the first place because back then there were a lot of spammers in the forum and they find that merit is a good system because it filters out the people that spams from the one that does quality post, although there are those that got away because they had been spamming a lot even before the merit system. Buying and selling merits is such a scummy way because it is unfair to those that were trying to go up through honest work.
2328  Economy / Services / Re: !!!(PAYING) NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN CLONE SITES on: March 26, 2021, 07:46:47 AM
I am pretty sure that cloning websites is a pretty scammy thing to do. Hey OP, if you don't mind answering, may I ask for an example of websites that you want to clone because there are a lot of scam websites that are operating like this and most of the time they are cloning legitimate websites or other busted scam websites.
2329  Economy / Services / Re: desperately need work on: March 26, 2021, 07:01:25 AM
A sob stories has no place in a good resumé.  If you are truly looking for work I suggest you post a list of your skills and your accomplishments.  It helps to include examples of previous work.
Plus OP's sob story could have been prevented easily because it isn't a tragedy, it was addiction which only needed some form of intervention from OP's loved ones but it seems that wasn't the case in this one. I agree with posting the work, maybe try to build a portfolio of your works because it helps you get more clients or a job because people will see your skills and they will hire you for that and not because they pity your situation.
2330  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Does this kind of project exist? Trying to find a bitcoin lottery ticket on: March 26, 2021, 06:25:59 AM
Why not solo mine and engage in a lottery where 1) you aren’t attempting to steal from someone, 2) you have an actual chance (albeit a small one) of getting a substantial amount of BTC, 3) you are helping secure the network instead of trying to break it?
I think that it is too hard for OP to do that, I mean OP blatantly asks if there is a project where the main purpose is stealing someone's wallet which means that OP isn't here for the honest to God work but the easy money.
2331  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: what do i need to learn to be a good blockcahin developer on: March 26, 2021, 05:37:31 AM
Youtube/Reddit is the place that you can learn any thing.

Watch this if you have basic background of Python ----> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KARxDX5DTgY
You can also learn at codeacademy.org, Udemy or Khan Academy. I recommend the programming language above because it is easy to learn AFAIK and you also have to learn other programming languages like Java, GO, C++ and C#. You have to learn the hardest one of the programming languages first so you aren't that intimidated with the other languages.
2332  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Made a Crash predictor and need beta testers before selling it! on: March 26, 2021, 04:51:28 AM
Nonsense. Don't you people get tired of trying to scam gamblers in this manner? This silly scam won't work since I have observed similar threads like this one advertising crash predictions come and go in recent times.

Even if you legitimately found an exploit in Roobet, taking advantage of it is illegal and helping others take advantage of it is illegal too. Don't fall for this crap people.
This is the first time I have heard of a scam like this and from the looks of it, it has a similar scam format as the ones that provides those trade signal scams. Also, if there really is a legitimate exploit, I don't think that the person or group that has discovered that exploit is just going to show it to the world, I mean you just discovered an exploit that makes a lot of money, why would you want to share it to other people unless it doesn't work.
2333  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Donate crypto to help Ian Freeman, one of the crypto 6. on: March 25, 2021, 08:12:25 AM
Based on these reports, it appears that he has a lot of bitcoin and money.

I am not aware of the details of the incident, but I believe that we must support the person from a position in the case and not because it has benefited the community.

If you intend to donate, there are many charitable projects that need more support

Quote
Free-Keene leader Ian Freeman has accessed $1.66 million worth of Bitcoins and had $178,000 in cash in his safe when his house was raided by federal authorities this week, prosecutors said on Friday.

Generally donating to individuals is not an advisable thing to do especially if they are prominent person that came from money, they will have a money to use for their case and I think that giving money to them is just patronizing them although it is debatable when it comes to a content creator or an average person. That bitcoin can't be accessed though which is problematic but at the same time a blessing for him because seizure of the bitcoins will be impossible.
2334  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Meeting about Bitcoin and inviting people to it on: March 25, 2021, 07:16:06 AM
Sounds like you had very interesting experience in promoting BTC. Hope you didn't overdo it because sometimes when people hear that somewhere in Internet exists a digital coin that costs a huge amount of money they frighten that this is a total come-on. So it’s better not to talk about its price but I don’t know how to talk about BTC and don’t to tell its price and not to explain people about its huge volatility that attracts investors in BTC all over the world to gain good profit. Think it’s still necessary to mention quietly and unobtrusively about this. That can attract people.
I think that in this situation, OP did a good job and the people that OP had a discussion with are intellectuals which means that they aren't that afraid to try it out. That is what I thought too, the price will definitely offset some people but in retrospect I think that it was an alright thing to do because it means that you are direct with what you are pointing out in the conversation and it is actually a good way to weed out people that are definitely not going to be a fan of crypto.
2335  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Time Magazine: Will start to accept crypto for subscription on: March 25, 2021, 06:42:29 AM
Time is one of the biggest magazines in the world and this is great news...
We know that Time has many competitors such as Forbes and business insider, I am sure that with this announcement, competitors from TIME will think of following them in order to protect customers.
That is the only reasonable thing for the competitor magazines to do if they want to get ahead of the game which will not be happening if they continue to neglect the idea that TIME did with their online subscription then they are going to be left behind and there is no way for them to progress but to adapt.
2336  Economy / Economics / Re: What's Next? After Bitcoin Passes The 60K Mark...... on: March 25, 2021, 05:52:00 AM
For now there really isn't a lot of real life uses for bitcoin like daily transactions but I think that it will change overtime because bitcoin adoption is steadily growing and with Tesla's announcement that you can buy a car from them using bitcoin, it only helped spur a new movement that is definitely going to influence other car companies or other companies to integrate a bitcoin payment system in their existing payment system.
2337  Economy / Economics / Re: You want to make money with Bitcoin ? Here is a Tip ...Psy... on: March 25, 2021, 05:11:03 AM
After 11 years Bitcoin has established itself as the most trusted coin you should not doubt investing as long as it has the trust of the majority, always check the market if the coin that you are investing still enjoy the trust, it does not mean that if the coin is dipping, investors are losing their trust, look in the overall performance of the coin that you are following, look on issues and feedback, and if they still have it go for it, profit is on the way, it maybe not later but it will be sooner.
The only one that is keeping people from investing in bitcoin is they themselves, they want to get in at a really favorable point to the point that they don't want to buy unless the price is going down but we really don't know when it is going down so we just have to buy as early as we can. You don't have to go for other coin, bitcoin in my opinion is enough if you want to invest early on, try to familiarize first before exploring other coin.
2338  Economy / Economics / Re: Powell (US Federal Reserve chair) - "does not want to rush digital dollar" on: March 25, 2021, 04:25:11 AM

I think the problem is that the more money you print, the more problem you create as well. Who would be willing to spend that much money? Most of that will be basically stored and that is why basically there is nothing that could be done about inflation. It would be great if everyone spent all their money all the time and money was in circulation, that's how it would be done.

Do you expect that the last trillions of dollars printed would be spent constantly? Changing hands all the time? I do not think that it would happen.

This is why I think it is quite obvious that we will not see that money, it will be in some banks vaults or just digital and nothing more. This is why I think it is quite obvious that we should not be happy about what we have with the fiat world, that is why people are moving towards crypto, because printing fiat and expanding can't be sustained forever.
What are you talking about? The title completely says digital dollar, and that is what I was referring too, if there is a digital dollar then there is less money printed and I think that it is a viable solution to what you are saying. Don't you understand scaling, a lot of USD is going to change hands everyday and I mean billions because US is a big economy not to mention that there is also the international part of that money circulation, they print money because they have to replace around 80% of old dollars in the circulation that goes back to them.

Telling the threats we will receive in the future, the hardships of staples, inflation, and extreme weather will never end but it is like walking in a dead end.  If you say that what is being improved is the current leadership order, it will take a very long time to give birth to a generation that really cares about the condition of society.  The economic crisis is very clear in front of the eye, the steps to save themselves are to secure the assets owned by preparing your best portfolio.
We really don't need that thing to take a long time, we just have to convince a lot of people to think and be smart as to who is the person that they are going to elect, I am not advocating the idea of waiting for future generations when we can do it in our own timeline. Not everyone can do what you are trying to advice, the only one who can have their own portfolio is those who have the access to technology and have enough money to build their own portfolio, not everyone can secure an asset because almost half or more than half if not of the population is dirt poor.
2340  Economy / Economics / Re: America stimulus support add strength to the dollar as investment increase on: March 25, 2021, 02:54:38 AM
Circulation is being made thru printing money of high value like the dollar. Though sadly this tactic will only work for short term and would end horribly in the long run as it causes hyperinflation and further depreciation of the currency's value. So I'm not seeing this green moment as a sign of the times but the calm before a horrible storm. Let us see how the US government works on to comabt this in the next few months of 2021.
If the bankers has a plan at hand as to what they are going to do with this one, I think that they should start now because as the quote above has said, money printing causes hyperinflation which means that if that were to happen, the people of USA are the ones that are going to suffer the consequences.
