Ma nije stvar u tome što će kasino/kladionica profitirati od toga što će ljudi izgubiti dio love koja im je isplaćena, nego što će samim time što im se članovi kampanje malo zakockaju postati možda postati malo bolji gambling posteri jer će automatski imati više materijala za pisanje.
Pa im onda neće svaki post biti o tome tko je koga pobijedio neko će povremeno i napisati neki kurac o klađenju i kocki. A dodatni bonus je što će dobiti još kojeg korisnika, što im je uostalom i cilj oglašavanja ovdje. Uostalom ko zna, možda se netko od članova kampanje navuče i krene igrati jače i ubacivati svoju lovu.

Eh da nam je domaći moderator pa da prebaci sve ovo u odgovarajući topic.

But why would they do that, what would be the benefit for American film industry to "improve the film world"? Oscar is first and foremost American movie award, and one of the purposes is to award and protect American film industry. And later it developed into what we see now, with finally non-American movie winning a Best Picture award.

Don't get me wrong, I would like if foreign movies have the same chance of winning like American ones (good example of that Roma which is a vastly superior to Green Book, but latter won the award nevertheless) but I also understand why they are doing it that way. Less American movies winning award means less money poured into American movie industry equals less money for actors, directors etc and exactly those people vote for the awards (afaik 80% Academy members are Americans).

He is aware of it, we talked via PM about the issue.

 
Since they showed no remorse or willingness to sort out the whitepaper (and other plagiarized content), I don't see how that campaign could be reopened.

Tehnically it is allowed to run a bounty for a project that plagiarized whitepaper/had fake team members or any of the other major red flags because scams on bitcointalk are not moderated. Thing is, by doing that you are risking your reputation and getting tagged by other members.

I can't speak for other DT members, but unless Royse777 doesn't stop their bounty campaign, he can expect getting tagged by me but I do hope it won't come to that.

Beside some other red flags like having anonymous team while conducting ICO and generally looking like very little effort and thought has been put into this project, you are right, the reason why MetaMallVerse account got tagged and flagged is due plagiarized whitepaper. Combine those two things and its pretty obvious how this is going to end up.


Its been a month since they got caught having plagiarized whitepaper, and so far they haven't done absolutely anything to sort that out. They didn't rewrite those parts, or maybe even included reference links for copied part and everything stayed as it was month ago. To me that tells that they absolutely don't care as they are here for a quick scam. I can't imagine a legit project that is here for the long not doing absolutely everything that they can to clear their reputation.because if


The right thing to do here is to stop the bounty campaign immediately and I hope he will do that.

FYI, there's been a bounty campaign going on from the day one (for more than a month) hosted by Royse777. Did anyone warned him about the existence of this scam accusation topic? Anyway, I just sent him a PM and lets see what he has to say about it.

Bounty campaign round 1
Bounty campaign round 2

First of all, I had no idea about this MetaMallVerse plagiarism case (you can check that I wasn't active in their scam accusation topic) and even less about Royse777 hosting their bounty campaign. Or you think we should all be aware about each and every scam accusation case?

I am surprised to see that no one in MetaMallVerse scam accusation topic mentioned their ongoing bounty campaign and warned Royse777 about this situation as it looks like a clear scammy shitcoin project with anonymous team and plagiarized whitepaper. Anyway, I will contact him and let him know about it and if he still continues with bounty campaign he will bare the consequences. Although I don't understand how he missed that project he is promoting for a month has been tagged and flagged.


I guess you are an alt account of MrCrank? Since at first it looks like you were only the bounty manager there, stopped bounty campaign upon discovering plagiarism and didn't have previous tags for something else, I will look into it a little bit further and if everything checks out I might change negative to neutral.

Well, based on the list you provided I see only a few accounts that were created after pumpkin contest started.


If that's what they needed in order to get into signature campaigns then I don't expect them to be very successful staying in those or getting into new ones, or reaching higher ranks.

You are mixing two very different things. First and foremost, Cannes is a movie festival (like Sundance, Berlin, Venice, Karlovy Vary etc) whose goal is not to give awards for best movies made in some specific year like Oscar is, or BAFTA, Golden Globes etc. Now that you mentioned France, their sort of equivalent of Oscar is Cesar Award but it only gives awards to French movies (+for best international one) so I think that Academy is doing by including bunch of foreign movies in their award is a good thing. After all, Oscars initially started as an award for American movies only, but later developed into what it is now.

I don't know if you guys noticed but a couple of days ago PlanB started his own YouTube channel. So far he only has few interviews made by other YouTubers but he said that he is currently working on his first video. Anyway, here is the link https://www.youtube.com/@PlanB_Bitcoin

So what exactly is the problem here if they ranked up through the contest? Sure, there might be some alt accounts there that saw an easy way to get merit (like in all activities where bunch of merits is shared) but in order to reach higher ranks they will have to write decent posts.

Oh ffs...and I was even thinking why is he already counting votes if its not over yet. Procrastination is a serious sickness.

There is a simple solution for that: if you have issues with something gambling related, simply create a topic about it and people will help. Gambling is not a rocket science that needs a whole child board just for that.

Just a small correction, I won Scambuster award narrowly beating marlboroza by 4 votes, and not the Spambuster one.


I just realized that I totally forgot to vote so gonna do that first thing tomorrow so thnx for reminder.  

Hm I honestly haven't seen such rumours and I just checked I didn't notice odds changing dramatically in its favor. I initially thought that maybe Academy will want anti-war movie to win best picture award due ongoing war in Ukraine, but bookies think different.


Like you I am also tempted every time I browse Netflix but so far I've been avoiding it mainly because I am a big fan of first version from 1930 and I doubt that it can surpass that one which is for me one of the best antiwar movies ever made, even though its been made more than 90 years ago. I will probably watch it before Oscars as I do plan to bet on that category and I can't do it unless I've seen at least couple of favorites. So far I've only seen Decision to Leave and Argentina, 1985 and I am leaning more towards the latter.

Mislim da bi ovi najpopularniji manageri mogli dosta utjecati na to da se gambling ocisti, samo izgleda da im to i nije bas u interesu. Naime, da manageri kod biranja clanova uzmu samo one kojima apsolutno svaki post nije tipa izvjestaj sa utakmice i tko je kako odigrao nego i rasprava o kvotama/kladjenju/kocki opcenito te bi time smanjili kolicinu spama. Samo kako traziti taj uvjet kad jednostavno nema dovoljno clanova koji se klade/kockaju, sto dovodi do postepenog snizavanja kriterija a rezultat toga je ovo sto vidimo.

Iako, znajuci kako se spammeri prilagodjavaju, vjerujem da bi onda srali o kvotama ili cemu god da je potrebno da upadnu u kampanju tako da dok god ima puno vise mjesta u gambling kampanjama nego sto ima natural gambling postera kao sto si ti, situacija ce biti takva kakva je.

Mene takodjer cudi kako vise ovih kockarskih kampanja ne isplacuje lovu direktno na njihov sajt (dobra ideja kod kampanje koju vodite ti i frka je bonus za kampanju u vidu free spinova) mi je nekako logicno, jer bi valjda htjeli da oni koji nose tvoj signature nekad malo i zakockaju/oklade tamo. Ja sam svojevremeno nosio Bustadice sig i lova nam se isplacivala direktno na njihov sajt te sam ne jednom tamo zakockao a vjerujem da bi i dosta drugih clanova to napravilo.

For some its simply because of greed and they are willing risk it all for a couple of %, even though they are aware of the risk. Then there are those that don't want any responsibility when to comes to storing crypto and will rather chose someone else to do it for them. I mentioned before that I know a guy (friend of a friend) who is an old school stock trader so naturally he wanted to profit from bitcoin too but instead buying it by himself and storing it in his wallet he rather invested via Grayscale. I naturally asked him why he doesn't want to own his own Bitcoin, he said that he just doesn't want that responsibility.

If bitcointalk is the only place where you communicate with people that are into crypto you may get impression that's how it is in the rest of crypto community while in reality vast majority don't really care about being your own bank and the rest of the things that Bitcoin is all about, therefore such situations like the one with FTX.

 
And that matters how exactly?

Yep, as expected.

I (reluctantly) started replying to his post, but when I reached that part about no country in the world (let alone "severely underdeveloped Europe") can compare to Iran when it comes to "energy, infrastructure and development" I realized that there's no point and just deleted the unfinished post.

Except that you are mixing apples and oranges. You just shared electricity price increase for business in France while he shared nonsense about increase of gas price for households in Germany. But I guess guy from Pakistan knows situation in Germany better than those who visited it few weeks ago and have family there.

Situation could be better of course, but unfortunately there's midget in the east who never got over the fall of USSR so that's where we are at the moment.


Oh damn. I honestly thought that situation in Iran regarding gas must be peachy considering their natural resources and how obsessed he is with prices of gas in Europe and our problems in general. I wonder how many schools in Germany were closed this winter for weeks in order to save the gas and electricity.

Users should protect themselves by not giving custody of their own coins and stop treating centralized crypto platforms as banks because they simply aren't.


Certain percentage probably removed their money after everything that has happened in the recent period, but majority will just continue business as usual. I know people who lost money on both Celsius and FTX and they still are still staking significant amount of money on Binance, being absolutely sure that Binance is safe and nothing will happen. When I asked them can they be really sure that same thing won't happen with Binance, they told me that even if something happens to Binance, prices will go down so much that it won't matter anyway.  And those people are not newbies at all.
