It is not about ban evasion that is detected by YOSHIE but you can read [TIPS] to avoid plagiarism and check back your post history to figure out your probability to have a second chance. I guess you won't get a second chance (not yet mention your ban evasion).

If your plagiarism was made after then rule on plagiarsim was applied, your chance will not exist.

In some ban appeals, I see users can get their second chances if their plagiarism was made years ago or even before the rule on plagiarism is here and how many times you plagiarised.

Globals can now issue sig bans so it'll happen more often but isn't going to be a let off for everyone (so if half your posts are copy and pastes then forget about it but people who are getting banned for one or two posts from years ago will likely be shown some mercy).

Just help you know but your ban appeal can be closed already.

However, I am glad that some users still listened to my advice and started using quote in a completely different way, so their posts look much better and clearer.
Use quote is not a different task. The problem can be not yet know how to quote properly or being too lazy to quote it properly (spammers don't care about what they write so they don't care about how to quote).

For real members, they should read and practice with their posts (if they quote, quote properly).

I know a video from Steamtyme on the Post formatting. Video link on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NHfaViknzM&feature=youtu.be

Although this thread is made for newbies, I think it can come in handy for some older members as well.
Thank you and I am happy to know you feel about it like that.

(*) Sometimes, mods/admins may take into account the poster’s history and the post’s content to infer the non-intent, but that in not a likely outcome by a long shot.
Posters who plagiarized and were banned need to have very good contribution history to get ban uplift. It not happens too often AFAIK. If they get a second chance, some sort of reduced account restrictions will be implemented, as replacements for permanent bans.
- Signature ban next 1 or 2 year. I don't remember a shorter period of such signature ban (6 months, probably).
- Signature ban and temp ban (can not post for a while).
- No restrictions at all (it is rarely to see)

With the bull market, and the crazy greedy DeFi, more new exchanges will be born. Big exchanges need to be born and build up their exchanges,volume, and reputation but new exchanges have more risks than old big, reputable exchanges.

It is normal to see more new exchanges in bull market, and they are more easily to list new coins or new tokens (that we have too many latest months). You can see how DeFi tokens are listed. Many of them will be listed on new exchanges.

New exchanges, new coins, new tokens, I warn you that risks are multiplied x2, x3.  You must be aware of risks from scam exits from new exchanges and new projects.

Generally, risks are existing on all exchanges and you never should use your account on exchange to store all of your crypto.


It is time to seriously protect your capital. Manage your way!
2386  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Satoshi Nakamoto is alive? Today he posted on p2p foundation. Your opinion? on: September 13, 2020, 08:10:34 AM
If Satoshi is alive, I doubt that he does simply observe the bitcoin and blockchain developments. He probably contributes to the developments in his ways, anonymoulsy certainly.

I doubt so because when a person loves something, nothing can stop the person to keep doing what he or she truly loves. The disappearance of Satoshi years ago does not mean that Satoshi is dead. I believe he simply wanted to hide himself, to keep his privacy and anonymity.

What he loves is blockchain, decentralization and not restricted on Bitcoin.

When real gold becomes a flatliner there is not much to talk or to be excited about and we can see that discussion slowed down a bit in this thread.

So I thought, I will start a new one on the topic: What keeps institutional gold investors/traders from using tokenized gold instruments like GOLD token?


https://goldprice.org/gold-price-chart.html

This is the beauty of GOLD token and Digital Gold project that it follows the real gold price no matter what, additionally, being fully backed by real gold.
Thanks for publishing the price chart of gold. It is the right time for a bounce, isn't it?

The global population and human civilization change to the Digital era. The creation of bitcoin one decade ago is a true catalyst for the digitalization growth. From paper cash to digital cash or more advanced with decentralized cryptocurrency. From physical gold to digital gold.

The pandemic shows the fact that working online as freelancers is the best for people. People can work everywhere that has good Internet connection. The rest are knowledge preparation, practice and join the online market. Honestly, I like the way our world changes last decade. I don't have to go to jewelry stores to sell my physical gold bars. And with digital GOLD tokens, it become more easily.

Brave browser is not the browser to use. It is worse than Chrome and Chrome is from Google so I don't use it. There are many bad things on Brave browser and they broke their slogan and their reputation. People use it because of they give away BAT to their users but users have to do KYC to get BAT. Not good.

2391  Other / Meta / Re: Why does the hyperlink button create a hyperlink in that format? on: September 11, 2020, 01:10:44 PM
That is true, but clicking on the hyperlink button doesn't bring clarity where the link or anchor text is supposed to go.
I did not know how to quote, how to add anchor to hyperlink but it is not an impossible discovery task. I did not notice and care about how to do that, it is a shameful acknowledgement.

When merit system was on, I paid more attention on posts of others and look at text inside quotes when I quote. Finally, I know how to do that and I made the topic Guideline on posting images (with size adjustments), hyperlinks. It was made on May 2018, 4 months after merit system was on.

Anchors help to help readers guess on what hyperlink presents. If I leave hyperlink to your topic as https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5275075.0, no one can guess what your topic is about.
2392  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Blockchain.com Phishing Attempt on: September 10, 2020, 04:43:05 AM
majority of them are using the very huge database that the ICO scams have been building over the past 3 years. that was part of their earning method specially during the end when people weren't falling for any of those and they started asking for fake KYC. all of that information has been sold on dark net multiple times already.

that is why we see this type of targeted scamming meaning it is very rare that a person who has never been into cryptocurrencies receiving such scam Emails.
With ICO bounties in 2017, 2018 and IEO bounties in 2019, many bounty hunters submit application forms with email addresses and scammers can use it to abuse when they finished their scam projects.

In bounties, they have to finish KYC to receive bounty payment (not all bounties require KYC but after the AML enforcements, more bounties require to do that). The bad thing is scammers can sell database or use it to send phishing emails later.

Why KYC is extremely dangerous – and useless

- Send 0.005 BTC first to receive airdrop (a warning).
- No amount of airdrop BTC is mentioned Huh

I wonder how they would get your 0.005BTC. They're just saying "you need to have at least 0.005 BTC in your Blockchain Wallet..." They're not even providing a BTC address where you will make a deposit.
When they do phishing attacks, they will have links to direct to their phishing sites. If they don't include phishing links, why do they send people such emails? OP can answer and give more details. When OP does it, please add phishing link with code (people don't click on phishing link with code line)
Code:

2394  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Blockchain.com Phishing Attempt on: September 09, 2020, 01:58:36 AM
Thanks your the warning but I wonder (and you should too) how your emails is attacked like that. Did you arbitrarily share your email address publicly somewhere? It is a big risk when you or anyone else do so.

For my accounts in crypto, the email addresses I use are only used for crypto things and I don't share those email addresses to anyone else.

For entertainment things: gambling, social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook - I did not use Facebook last 2 years), online shopping, etc. I use other emails.

I want to be safe from any risks of attacks: phishing, malware, spam, etc. Even I am aware of such risks, don't click on links, I don't want to see my email inbox receives such risky emails.


The email (in image) is a joke:

- Send 0.005 BTC first to receive airdrop (a warning).
- No amount of airdrop BTC is mentioned Huh

It is even worse than scam giveaway on Youtube, Twitter.

2395  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China Can Reverse Bitcoin Transactions? on: September 09, 2020, 01:43:07 AM
Well, another point why we should trade things made / said by Ripple with caution. I think this is just a way to get publicity for their shitcoin XRP.

It's simply impossible for Chinese government to "take over" enough miners. They even failed to shut down large facilites when the government considered to ban mining: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-cryptocurrency/china-wants-to-ban-bitcoin-mining-idUSKCN1RL0C4
They did not try in the end most likely because the government knows very well that an attempt would fail.
Government can not take over all needed big mining pools at set up at the same time to dominate the network hashrates to do replay attacks and reverse transactions. Basically, the longer your transaction was confirmed (confirmations) the harder the government or anyone else can dig very deeper to past layer of blockchain transaction to reverse yours.

If a transaction is confirmed after one month, it is impossible to reverse it. This topic and this question reminds me the importance of keep a part of my bitcoin investment in off-line status. Off-line keep it safe from attacks and it does help to increase the total confirmations it has over time. Together, it help my bitcoin is safe enough.

One way to think about the blockchain is like layers in a geological formation, or glacier core sample. The surface layers might change with the seasons, or even be blown away before they have time to settle. But once you go a few inches deep, geological layers become more and more stable. By the time you look a few hundred feet down, you are looking at a snapshot of the past that has remained undisturbed for millions of years. In the blockchain, the most recent few blocks might be revised if there is a chain recalculation due to a fork. The top six blocks are like a few inches of topsoil. But once you go more deeply into the blockchain, beyond six blocks, blocks are less and less likely to change. After 100 blocks back, there is so much stability that the coinbase transaction—the transaction containing newly mined bitcoin—can be spent. A few thousand blocks back (a month) and the blockchain is settled history, for all practical purposes. While the protocol always allows a chain to be undone by a longer chain and while the possibility of any block being reversed always exists, the probability of such an event decreases as time passes until it becomes infinitesimal.

In a different story, total full nodes in China is small compares to other nations:
- Total full nodes: 8086
- US: 2264
- Germany: 1514
- France: 587
- Netherlands: 389
- Canada: 279
- SG: 272
- Great Britain: 247
- Russia: 197
- China: 180

Another fear that repeatedly raises is risk from quantum computing on Bitcoin. It is another joke and is used to create FUDs.
2396  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading without setting stop loss (Risky or Not)? on: September 08, 2020, 03:53:13 AM
If you are discussing about trading, yes setting stop loss is a must thing. Without stop loss, you put your trading orders into risky. Supports can be flipped and become resistances. Bitcoin Support and Resistance for dummies

Stop loss orders help you to reduce your loss when cascade effects happen on exchanges. It is more important if you use leverage tradings. Stop loss is a weapon when you trade.

One of the Best Weapons in Trading

The fee on Ethereum network (average fee) is lower today. If you have intention to sell your Ethereum (I guess not because it is cheap now) or your ERC20 tokens with coming rallies, today is a good day for you to consider moving them.

Tx Calculator shows the average fee is 88 Gwei. 4 days ago, on 3 September 2020, it was 372 Gwei.

To make sure that the Gwei you use will satisfy your need on speed of transaction, you can check the % of transactions are accepted by network in last 200 blocks at Tx Pool Report. To get cheap and acceptable transaction waiting time, you need to plan your movements.

This is a good guide for long term investment in bitcoin.

I don't know how LoyceV considers a rise is large enough for him to take profit with small percentage of his bitcoin. 20% or 30%, you can choose yours from your tasty favorite.

Me? I choose to take profit at the rise with 15% to 17%.
I hold my Bitcoin and I need help of someone who get me idea about when I can sell my bitcoin
I sell a small percentage each time Bitcoin goes up by a large percentage. This way I never sell everything, so I don't miss the party if Bitcoin ever reaches mk4's upper value.

I always wonder How Cryptocurrency rates especially BTC Fluctuate so quickly? I mean is there any system on which there rates are decided? If so, what is it?
Because there are no limits of changes within a day like stock market. There is no circuit breaker for the market to stop panic. Crypto market now is a free one, free of limits, free of circuit breakers. Price can move up or down without any limits.

Price in turn changes fastly because of price manipulation and news. People invest in crypto but most of them don't know what is bitcoin, and what are waiting for them in crypto market. Then when bad news come they panicly sell and good news release they buy with joy of FOMO. They should do opposite as the saying goes "Buy the rumors, sell the news".
