I take this occasion to send my sincere congratulations to fillippone, the winner of this year's contest. Bravo and chapeau fillippone!

This achievement is even more amazing, as fillippone comes from pizza's motherland, and I always wondered, in past years, how is it possible for a natural Italian pizza to not win Finally, this year it happened!

I am also more than pleased to see that my vote actually counted in establishing the winner. Furthermore, it also helped in establishing the runner-up which is, as far as I see, icopress. I take this occasion for congratulating him as well, and also all the other participants of the contest. Mixing passion for Bitcoin with joy (no matter what type of joy it is -- be it preparing a pizza or buying an anvil) is really extraordinary and I am happy to see so many people acting this way.


And, nevertheless, long live fillippone! Long live the new pizza king! 

OP, I am very happy to hear that the advice you received here actually helped you in your quest for obtaining your money back.


This is even more great news! However, this amazes me, in a way. And this is because I would never believe that our local Police is capable of such investigation or they would ever pay attention to such kind of a theft. Obtaining crypto funds back, after a theft, is something difficult allover the world. But it's even more difficult in countries where local authorities don't even understand what they're dealing with. And I was almost certain that our Police would not give a damn for your complaint.

Seeing though that they really involved in your case; seeing that they identified the thieves; seeing that they went even further, to collaborate with Binance send a subpoena to Binance, in order to seize the thieves' funds (funds which, in fact, belonged to you) -- all these made me to see our Police in a total different view. I am not surprised by the fact that Binance accepted to seize the funds after receiving the subpoena; I am amazed by the fact that our local Police managed to go that far.

Probably, what I'm saying here may surprise many readers, which may think "Why is Gazeta so surprised? For Police it was the natural thing to do.". Such questions are perfectly normal to pop in mind. But I know how our Police works; I know how, many times, the victim is seen as the attacker; I know how, many times, they do not care for even more harsh abuses; and I know (or, I thought I knew) that our local authorities (including Police) have no idea what Bitcoin is. This is why I am so impressed by what OP managed to reach so far, with the help of Police...

OP, whenever you can (and whenever the law will allow you to), please let us know about the further proceedings. Good luck!

Bine ai revenit Deci OP traieste! Poate vedem mai multa participare in cadrul propriului topic de acum incolo.


Eu unul, nu. Nu stiu despre ceilalti.


Deci sa intelegem ca nu esti nici bot de traducere, nici vreun strain care a ales un nume de utilizator romanesc, ci chiar un utilizator roman, get-beget?


Multumim pentru explicatii, OP. Dar sunt mai sus niste intrebari la care nu ai raspuns inca. Aceasta ar fi una din ele:

Chiar ma intrebam daca e tradus sau scris "pe bune". Si numele user-ului e romanesc -- madalinaa. ma gandeam ca, daca apare vreun bot care sa faca o traducere pe aici, cum au mai fost cazuri, nu s-ar fi ostenit atat de mult, incat sa si aleaga un nume romanesc... Mi se pare foarte interesanta chestia asta.

Oricum, si daca e un roman care face reclama la IC / Hackathon, si daca e vreun bot care a facut o traducere (destul de buna) si a facut si efortul de a crea un utilizator cu nume romanesc -- tot aia e, in ambele cazuri. Mai mult ma intriga ca a creat acel cont doar pentru acea postare si apoi a disparut. Nu vad chiar niciun rost sa creezi un cont pentru o singura postare...

Initial ma bucurasem ca vad o figura noua pe aici, apoi am inceput sa-mi pun semne de intrebare, vazand ca OP nu mai e online din aceeasi zi in care a si postat acest topic. Alt semn de intrebare il reprezinta topic-ul in sine; nu m-as fi asteptat ca un membru Brand New (acum Newbie) sa vina direct cu informatii despre hackathoane, "SocialFi, GameFi, Metaverse si NFT-uri, Defi asincron, binele public / impact social si “blue sky” o categorie deschisa la orice tip de idee". Eu unul nici macar n-am auzit pana acum de SocialFi, GameFi, DeFi asincron (asincron?!), si nici de "blue sky". Dar poate nu sunt eu la curent nu coutatile si e absolut normal ca orice Brand New pe forum sa le stie totusi


In afara de asta, OP, vrei sa faci reclama la hackathon? Sau la Internet Computer?


OP, ce sunt serviciile cu adevarat descentralizate? Cele actuale nu sunt "cu adevarat descentralizate"? Intreb si eu, nu dau cu parul... Imi amintesc de faptul ca bietul Satoshi inventase si el un serviciu, despre care spunea ca este, printre altele,



Sa inteleg ca bitcoinții, cum spun unii, nu implica "cu adevarat" descentralizare?

I also opposed the flag. For one reason, at least, this being the following: once OP used FortuneJack's services, he agreed to their Terms and Conditions. The terms may be incorrect, as LoyceV emphasized, but since OP used the services he also agreed to the respective Terms. Maybe he did not properly read them, but this is irrelevant.

Dura lex, sed lex, Latins used to say - The law is harsh but it is the law. Same thing applies to a contract (or, in this case, FortuneJack's terms). If OP signs a contract with someone, and he agrees to work for that person 8h / day, 40h / week for next 40 years, with no payment for his work, then he has no right to complain afterwords, nor to say that the contract is incorrect towards him, as he previously agreed with contract terms, when he signed it...

If that is true, then mine is also an A.I.

Other than that, after our Supreme Leader's fame exceeded BitcoinTalk's realm, on CryptoTalk being also discussed the Merit Cycling Club (sadly, I can not find that post anymore), it seems now that our Supreme Leader's fame crossed the borders also IRL.



This is a graffiti, most likely showing Foxpup, which I found by pure chance, painted on a building close to the one where I live.

Seeing that Foxpup became notorius also in Romania, all I can say is that I bow down to such power and that I feel the need to adapt Lauda's worship phrase (may Lauda forgive my sin):

The Queen of Foxes guides us. The Queen of Foxes teaches us. The Queen of Foxes protects us. In your light we thrive. In your mercy we are sheltered. In your wisdom we are humbled. We live only to serve. Our lives are yours.

Al treilea premiu consta in doua monede: una era Doge si una era bitcoin, facuta de casascius (cea rosie). Deci nu cea Doge era facuta de casascius, ci cealalta


Eu am zis "sa fim vigilenti", dar mi-a intrat pe o ureche si mi-a iesit pe cealalta Cand ai postat primul concurs imi faceam somnul de frumusete. Pe al doilea l-am vazut abia acum... Evident, cu toate locurile ocupate. Dar nu-i bai, are balta peste

Hello UniJoin, thank you for the reply. Please find below my answers to your questions.


The issue happens to me on Firefox browser, on any version of it (I am usually keeping it updated). The issue also happened on Tor browser. If it matters, desktop resolution is 1920x1080. Please see the pictures below for more information.


This image shows the missing Chinese flag and the corrupted "N" from "CN" on Firefox browser, clear web address of UniJoin.


This image shows the missing Chinese flag and the corrupted "N" from "CN" on Tor browser, .onion web address of UniJoin.

As you see, in both cases the right vertical bar ("|") of the "N" is barely visible and its color is pink.

I tried again today and it seems that the issue does not reproduce anymore. The counter is displayed:

Other than that, please also see my comment from the other topic started by Royse, also dedicated to UniJoin reviews. Maybe you will find that one useful as well

Marcel, do not hide the truth! We all know you are a cruel man! At last, someone had guts and exposed you!





Lol, now it figures... Somehow I missed this detail. Probably he needed to make further explanations, about how each month is divided in weeks, how weeks are divided in days, how days are divided in hours (and so on), in order to obtain the 8 merits. But like that, explaining just how the year is divided in quarters, it's not 8-merits-worthy at all.

Este cu baietii! 


Premiile sunt foarte tari, mai ales moneda aceea creata de casascius, caruia organizatorul i-a pocit un pic numele (Casascious). O astfel de piesa este o raritate, indiferent daca vorbim de o moneda "incarcata" cu fonduri sau nu... e piesa de muzeu.

Nici celelalte premii nu lasa de dorit. Si setul acela "be your own bank" este dragut.

Chiar ma intrebam daca va aparea vreun concurs cu ocazia Pizza Day Si s-ar putea sa mai apara astazi si altele, cine stie. Sa fim vigilenti!

Altu' cu necroposting... macar de ar fi citit fix doua randuri mai sus:


Eu nu inteleg pe ce criterii aleg oamenii astia sa faca postarile dar, din atatea topic-uri noi la indemana, le gasesc doar pe alea unde nu s-a mai postat luni de zile... Si mai baga si link de referral pe deasupra.

jon222, postarea ta incalca una din regulile forumului (iti recomand sa le citesti pe toate inainte de a te aventura mai departe:


Lista tuturor regulilor i regasesti aici: Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ.

Welcome! But there's more


Better talk to bot's developer. Probably you're doing something wrong. Excepting that, no mod, nor the admin will create a notification bar for you.


So there is no KPI involved, just subjectivity. OK, I understand now.


I believe that here you also imply just subjectivity and no KPI, right?


I am sorry, but I see absolutely no connection between the quality of translations made by some users for fillippone's topics and having a local board named "the best" based on that. For example, a local board may have a very low activity and yet, a user active in that board, to make a flawless translation for fillippone's topic(s). How would that make the respective board to be "the best"?

And what made you choose those translations to be the criterion for having a board to be "the best"? I am sorry, I do not understand. Furthermore: have you ever asked fillippone if he would agree with such decision? I highly doubt that he would agree, as he would see also no connection between a good translation and naming a local board as "the best".

And what does this "the best" actually mean? The best from what point of view? How do you define "the best"?

---

OP, you should be a bit more rational or logic, if you like to do a statistic like this. You need clear criteria for your fields.

Besides that, if you want to be taken seriously, you also need to spell the words correctly. Your topic and posts are full of typos and grammar errors (you use capital letters for some words, when it's not the case; you use double spaces sometimes between words; you spell wrong users' names; you spell wrong various words; you do not write dots (".") at the end of sentences; you use incorrectly the quote system etc.).

These are some examples:

1. Wrong use of quote system: in your reply to me you tried to quote me, but a part of my reply was quoted, while the other was not.

2. Double space (between "is" and "the") and incorrect use to capital letter (for "Moderators" -- this term could be written with low caps "m"):


3. Incorrect use of capital letters ("Mods", "Thread" and "Board") + missing logic at the beginning of the sentence:


Probably, here you wanted to write "Mods' evaluation is based on they way they respond inside threads, on their comments and on their activity inside their boards".

But the way you wrote the first part of the sentence makes no sense in English - "The Mod's that is response to Threads". What does that mean?

4. Spelling error:

The word is "their", not "thier"


Perhaps you wanted to write "permaban"?


Perhaps you wanted to write "tempban"?


Perhaps you wanted to write "plagiarist users"?


What does "Is the forum policies are active?" mean in English? This sentence makes no sense.


Modirators...?


His username is OgNasty, not ogNasty...


Here you used four dots, instead of three. The punctuation symbol "..." has only three dots.

---

Look, OP: again, don't take me wrong. But when you write a topic or a post, you should also re-read it prior submitting the post. Check your writing for proofreading; correct the typos; correct the various errors you may encounter. Never write a bunch of words and then immediately click on "Post", without checking first what you just wrote.

And when you are using the "Preview" function, you can see that the text editor underlines (with a red line) the words which are spelled incorrectly. Correct those ones, at least. Or use another text editor, with dictionary set to English.

Writing the way you do looks just like a mess, no matter if you even have a good idea. And, if you want to have the chance to be taken seriously or into consideration, you should present, at least, a correct text. If you'd read a book full of spelling errors, what would you think / do? Wouldn't you say "Who is the underclassman which wrote this junk?", then throw it away? What I want to say is that, if you write like that there are high chances that users will also not even read your posts. Who would lose time for reading some gibberish?

I understand that you may not be an English native (if you are, the situation is even worst, as you are supposed to know your own language); many users from here are not English natives as well. But they make efforts to have correct writings. At least to use the text editor from "Preview" function... You may never have a text typo-free. But, at least, if you have just a few and minor ones, you can show that you tried, at least, to write a good and correct text.

I think that you renamed them, OP. You should change these names with "CryptopreneurBrainboss" and, respectively, "fillippone". Spelling people's name incorrectly may lead to have them not being notified by bots for being mentioned but, above all, may also make people feel insulted.

DdmrDdmr is not a moderator, as far as I know...

---

Last, but not least:

How do you evaluate a mod's activity? By activity points...?
And how do you evaluate who is corrective? Or most educative threads? Or best local board? What makes a local board to be the best?

Don't take me wrong, but you need proper, objective and precise KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) defined for such evaluations...

@Mitchell and @ralle14: I just noticed a small typo in your thread, which is a thread very useful to many users, and I am sure that many, like me, follow it for years now. I thought to tell you the typo, in order to fix it, and have the text typo-free.

In the above mentioned quote you should change "campaigns thread" with "campaign's thread", meaning to place an apostrophe (" ' ") between the "n" and the "s" of "campaigns". I hope this helps.

Da, e foarte interesanta cartea scrisa de Wendy... De multe ori, cand mai dadeam pe aici cate un citat, mai stateam sa recitesc parti din capitolul respectiv. Imi amintesc, de asemenea, si ca, atunci cand a ajuns la final, m-am intristat. Traduceam saptamanal cate o parte a unui capitol, in ordinea in care autoarea posta. Chiar aveam o asa-zisa "rutina de duminica dimineata" Ea posta in noaptea de sambata spre duminica, iar eu faceam traducerea duminica dimineata.

Cand a terminat lucrul la carte a fost si suficient de amabila pentru a-mi acorda un interviu. Pe langa surpriza de a-mi spune ca a vizitat Romania si ca i-a placut, am intrebat-o (aproape ca am rugat-o) si daca este interesata sa mai scrie alta carte despre Bitcoin. Din pacate insa, a spus ca se va opri aici...

Ca sa fac haz de necaz, bag si eu asta aici

Si inca ceva ce mi-a trecut acum prin minte: cu inflatie de 14%, ce incasezi acum ca salariu inseamna ca ai, de fapt, cu 14% in minus. Interesant insa este si faptul ca, atunci cand scade pretul BTC, pentru aceleasi postari (cel putin in campania de semnaturi din care facem si noi parte), primesti o valoare mai mare in BTC. Desi este vorba doar de o conjunctura, inca o data pot spune ca BTC > fiat

Hello Royse777, I studied this topic carefully for a while now. As far as I see, it's the same 99% the same as previous one. And, as you see, it's almost one month since you posted it and nobody replied yet. I believe there are 3 reasons for this:

- maybe users are not feeling incentivized enough by the 5$ prize, especially compared with previous topic where, for same request (meaning to leave a feedback / review), the prize was 20$
- at same time, there is chance that the respective 5$ prize to barely cover the fee for the transaction made. Depending on the price fluctuation, there is also a chance for the prize to not even cover the fee, or to be very close in value to the amount paid as transaction fee. Having this in mind, who would make a work for barely nothing (or even for ending up with a minus in their wallet)?
- other than that, it is also possible that some users to be disappointed by (1) UniJoin's lack of response to all previous feedbacks, (2) by the fact that they did not fix all issues reported in previous feedbacks or, (3) by LoyceV's feedbacks, especially his final one.

Having these in mind, maybe it would be better to talk to UniJoin and let them know that, after 1 month, nobody replied here, and also talk to them about what I mentioned here. Maybe they'll rethink this campaign, in a manner that it will attract participants.

Din ce am vazut, nu este nicio restrictie in acest sens. Conform regulilor organizatorului,



Asta este, mai degraba, o "restrictie impusa de tine", nu de ei


La treaba asta m-am gandit si eu, si tind sa iti dau perfecta dreptate. Chiar ma si gandeam sa-i spun si organizatorului, poate se schimba ceva in acest sens. Si este foarte posibil ca si altii sa fie de aceeasi parere, mai ales daca ne uitam la data postarii topic-ului, care este cu aproape o luna in urma... La 20$ mai era cum mai era, dar pentru 5 "coco" parca iti cam bati capul degeaba. Ca sa nu mai zic si ca, daca prinzi vreo fluctuatie de pret chiar atunci, poate ajungi sa platesti un comision mai mare decat suma oferita ca premiu...

Merci frumos, NeuroticFish! Sunt in a treia saptamana de cand au inceput lucrarile si cred ca mai dureaza alte 3-4 saptamani...


Thx

Asa este, tot ce ai scris este perfect adevarat. La fel ar fi privite, de pilda, si frunzele, daca oamenii ar face tranzactii platind cu frunze.

Intamplator, ideea a fost tratata si de Wendy McElroy, in cartea The Satoshi Revolution. O sa o citez mai jos:


In exemplul de mai sus, ea folosea scoicile ca exemplu.

In ceea ce priveste inflatia... nu mai zic nimic, ca ma doare inima deja...
