2481  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: Pregled Bitcointalk Signature-Ad kampanja on: April 20, 2023, 07:00:18 PM
U Sinbad signature kampanji opet ima slobodnih mjesta za nekoliko pozicija.
Royse777 gleda da popuni pozicije koje se bolje plačaju. To su tzv. Green Zone članovi koji su plačeni više od običnih članova. Npr., Legendary Green Zone članovi dobivaju $6 po postu, dok obični Legendary dobije $4.

Menadžer nije precizirao koliko ima slobodnih mjesta već samo da ima za sve rangove.

Officially we have open slots.
First priority is to find some Green Zone members. Please apply.
Any rank can apply. If your standard is qualified for the Green Zone area then I will add you directly there or you will get position based on the current rank you have.

I am surprised that this thread never got more attention, and no staff members said anything about the proposal.
Having an "ignore this thread" option can help in boards you don't ignore by default but there are loads of discussions there you aren't interested in. For example, I post in the gambling boards occasionally, but I don't care about the hundreds of ANN threads I see there from hundreds of casinos I have never used or will probably never use in the future. Sure, it's mostly one user = one casino, and ignoring that user would do the trick, but you get my point. Ignoring those that keep popping up at the top would allow me to see something that interest me more.   
2483  Other / Meta / Re: How to add your Bitcointalk profile to your homescreen on: April 20, 2023, 01:15:10 PM
Thanks to the op who shared a nice idea on this forum, though it's a little careless for one to do so but I have to tell those that are not satisfied with the idea of the op that is a nice thread because their are many of us who are not regularly coming to this forum and even those who are in a signature campaign and sometimes based on their monthly jobs they forget to do their activities on the forum.
Adding Bitcoin talk to your cellphone or a PC will constantly remind you that you have an activity to take on the forum, I don't regularly come on forum and I know is because I don't have the forum on my home screenen.
Jesus Christ. You know that you can use the full stop key, right? It's not illegal, and makes it look like a sound human wrote the text. So you can't remember to visit the forum because there is no Bitcointalk logo on your phone? How do the rest of us manage it? Change your home screen, by all means, before you forget about Bitcointalk completely. I am just worried you will forget to use the bathroom if you do it, and then do poopy in your pants.

Imagine a scammer changing your recent transaction history in your regular banking app.
The history was not changed. A new entry was added to it. Everything that happened before is still there.
 
I copy paste previous receivers regularly because I trust that the history was not changed.
Bitcoin and crypto is not the same as your online bank. And if you blindly copy transaction data from your bank app's history, such a thing could happen to you with your online bank as well. If I sent you $0.01, and my transaction was the most recent one in your history, and you copy my bank details and send me $1000 instead of to your brother without checking any of the details, whose fault is that if not yours? Do things properly and you wont have to face any consequences. With traditional banking you can revert your mistakes, with bitcoin you can't. It's not a weakness, it's an integral feature.   

But scammers being able to change the transaction history in an official app goes very far, in my opinion.
No matter how many times you repeat it, the transaction history wasn't changed. It got updated to show the most recent activity. No one altered your old history to point to other addresses. And even if they did, it wouldn't matter if you used it properly.

I'm not very tech savvy, that is true. But I'm not some dumbass.
I hope you aren't for your own sake. Don't copy transaction info from transaction histories and blockchain explorers. There is a right and wrong way to do it. Whoever got affected by poisoning scams did it wrongly. It's that simple really.
2485  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Coinjoin on Trezor Suite on: April 20, 2023, 12:31:34 PM
I wouldn't use Coinjoin operations in Trezor until they decide to choose another coordinator (if that is even possible to do so).
I don't think the problem is creating a new coordinator, and I am sure Trezor could have done it by putting in some more work. The problem is getting enough liquidity and users willing to switch from zkSNACKs to your new coordinator. The best option would have been to do nothing at the moment. The way things stand now, you have to choose between two evils. Using the pro-censorship zkSNACKs coordinator or running a new one no else is/will be using. 

Quote
How does the coinjoin coordinator choose inputs?

Since your UTXOs will be sent in a transaction with other users’ funds, the coordinator checks that no individual UTXO has caused a recent coinjoin to fail and is not on a list of known high-risk UTXOs. This keeps your coins private without affecting fungibility. Owning a high-risk UTXO will not prevent other UTXOs in your wallet from being coinjoined.
Ohh, how cute. Bless them. Maybe they can share these infamous lists with us and tell us what constitutes a "high-risk UTXO" and who makes the decision which ones those are!?
2486  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: 15% Discount on the Trezor Model T on: April 20, 2023, 12:15:08 PM
It's time for the crypto community to think about creating their own open source HW devices that can be assembled like a kit (hardware and software separately).
There are already a few hardware wallets and signing devices that you can assemble yourself. Maybe you are aware of dkbit98's thread with open-source HWs. At the bottom of the OP, you can find links to several such devices. The biggest problem is with the individual hardware components that aren't always open-source. You can also 3D-print your own cases.

2487  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / 15% Discount on the Trezor Model T on: April 19, 2023, 06:41:08 PM
Seems that no one mentioned this here, so here it goes.

To mark this sad day of Trezor joining forces with Wasabi and Chainanalysis, the company has decided to offer a 15% discount on Trezor Model T purchases.
The price will be discounted from 19 - 26 April 2023. Instead of $219, the Trezor T now costs $186.

There is no need to enter any discount code. The new price automatically applies to all Trezor T orders.

I was looking for experiences of specific users. This guy lost 25 000 to address poisoning, which seems new and therefore could surprise more users like him.
Are you telling me that this did not happen in the authentic ledger live app?
My goal is to raise awareness, not to spread panic.
Your understanding of it all is too superficial to spread awareness. Address poisoning is a social engineering scheme designed to trick you to send scammers your coins. The victim is the one doing the sending, the scammers just set the traps. Those who know how to use bitcoin and crypto properly and how to work with different wallets, have no reasons to be worried. Those who don't, should learn before it's too late, and they lose money to whatever trick scammers come up with next.

Address poisoning is not the fault of any software or hardware wallet manufacturer. It's a feature someone learned to take advantage of due to the way the underlying networks for certain coins work.

Nine pages of nothing else but bounty reports and authentication posts to apply for bounties. And then suddenly he starts creating threads showing a high English proficiency. Very suspicious indeed. Someone who doesn't share a single thought for over a year is now asking what new subforums need to be added. Among the suggestions, he would like to have a dedicated board for mining. I wonder why the admins never thought of that. Grin 
2490  Other / Meta / Re: This gets me worried, I think the 'Brains' in the forum should look into it on: April 19, 2023, 01:08:05 PM
Really? But I stand to be corrected if I'm wrong. So how about bloggers who pay content writers on Fiverr to write a full blog post to be posted on their news blog. Will you consider that as plagiarism? Because they actually didn't write the content, but rather paid someone to do that for them?? (i.e following your definition of plagiarism)
The writer is not the primary concern here, the content is. It makes no difference if the owner plagiarizes content or whoever works for them does.

If I have a site and you write for me, I don't need to tell the world that I employed you to write the text. I can post it in my own name or have an editor do it. Copywriters even sign contracts stating the content belongs to the site. If the text you/me/the editor wrote is plagiarized, it becomes a problem. And again, the world is not going to care if I wrote it, I asked you to do it, or one of my neighbors did.   

But I think for the fact that I had no source and can't be found anywhere on the web online is a reason it ought to have been non plagiarized content, because I'm kind of curious to have someone break this down.
AI bots don't come up with their own content. They have a library of information they can refer to and pick what you asked them. A bot is a search engine writing content that has already been written somewhere before. It can't do things that have not already been done. Or in this case written. It can come up with variations, but based on some originals it has in its memory.

You don't have to post an actual link to an article you copied/paraphrased from. Naming the service is the next best thing. Source: Google, Chat GPT, Twitter, YouTube Live. No one can accuse of plagiarizing if you do that. Always post a link if you can, but since we are talking about bots here, it's not possible.

Hidden fourth option: Use a CEX that respects you as human being, and doesn't switch to KYC for easy bucks.
That's like saying use a CEX that will never get hacked and will always be up and running. We can't possibly know what will happen in the future and who will implement what. If we consider the fact that too many people don't care about KYC on crypto exchanges, giving up custody, or paying high withdrawal fees, why should they respect you? The minority cares, while the majority agrees to everything. CEXs will just go with the flow and try to trick you that their way of doing it is the best.

I'm referring to Robosats.
It's not a traditional CEX in any sense. Plus the trades take place over the LN which might not be that appealing to many traders.
2492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: April 18, 2023, 03:41:35 PM
Let's always take things as it were from each perspective, a normal gambling casino will never want to advise that gamblers should gamble with caution or responsibly.
It's your job as a player to gamble responsibly. All the casinos have to do is provide the necessary tools to achieve that and respect your decisions. The Curacao authorities aren't as strict as regulators from Malta or the UK, so who knows how much they pay attention to Responsible Gambling mechanisms. A quality casino does.

But a properly licensed casino allows you to self-exclude yourself and put various other restrictions on your betting account. That includes deposit limits, loss limits, time limits, etc. You can't lose if there are tools that prevent your from transferring more money than you configured.

As I have said many times when the topic of tainted bitcoin comes up: The correct response to some centralized service stating that your coins are tainted and they won't accept them is not to modify your behavior and sacrifice your privacy to acquiesce to the arbitrary demands of said service. Rather, it is to find a better service which does not enforce such absolute arbitrary nonsense.
The problem here is that if you use a centralized service which isn't as restrictive today, that can change tomorrow. And when it does, it can negatively impact a lot of people. For example, I have heard many people recommend ByBit as one of the best CEXs that don't request KYC right now. Sooner or later, that will change when they tighten the grip. History shows us that many have, and there is no reason to think ByBit will do things differently. 

The choices we have:
1. Use absolutely no CEX, today or tomorrow.
2. Use a CEX but never submit KYC, leaving the possibility of having your coins confiscated if you don't meet their terms. 
3. Use a no-KYC CEX and be willing to undergo identity verification and accept their demands when the time comes.

I think you will agree with me that the minority won't forget about the convenience of CEXs, and an even smaller number of users will just leave their money and not do everything the service demands to get it back. 
2494  Other / Meta / Re: This gets me worried, I think the 'Brains' in the forum should look into it on: April 18, 2023, 01:16:16 PM
actually I disagree I do James Joyce stream of conciseness  on purpose and I have done it for years.
I am not familiar with the concept, but I can figure it out based on this sentence of yours I quoted. You overdid it a bit, though. I don't remember seeing such posts from you. At least, not to that extent.
Nevertheless, you don't qualify as a shitposter, stream of consciousness or not.

I would argue any correction made via a google search or a spell check simply does not need to be listed as a source.
Of course not. Google suggests corrections based on its dictionary anyway.

So if I write all of the above and ask an AI to polish it up am I cheating?
It's a delicate matter. I would say both yes and no. First of all, a shitposter doesn't know about stream of consciousness or James Joyce. Your average Bitcointalk shitposter doesn't know much about bitcoin or crypto either. The fact that you know and can switch between the two styles as desired removes all doubts. Doubts that didn't even exist.

Not every use of AI is immediately plagiarism. I see no problem in having an AI, Google Translate, Grammarly, or something similar correct the mistakes YOU WROTE. It's a problem if you ask the AI to create something for you because you can't write it yourself and then you present that and take credit for it. 
2495  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Recommendations to store my seed phrase!! on: April 18, 2023, 12:49:37 PM
This is like modifying each seed column by adding a passphrase letter, so that the seed will be longer and if someone else finds this seed, it can never be cracked, unless the original owner knows the clues to unlock it.
Well, never say never. The passphrase that extends the seed needs to be complex enough. A "1234" as a passphrase provides very little in terms of additional security. I remember that Andreas used to recommend a sequence of 5-7 English words. I think Trezor's can't accept more than 8. I guess it's similar with other manufacturers but I didn't test it.

I don't think using AI generator is plagiarism...
Of course it's plagiarism. Plagiarism tools might not detect or classify it as such, but AI-generated content fulfills both conditions to be considered plagiarized.

1. You are using text that doesn't belong to you and which you didn't write. A bot wrote it.
2. You aren't posting a source from where or what you got the information from.

That's why it's plagiarism.   
2497  Other / Meta / Re: why bitcointalk don't advertise anywhere. on: April 17, 2023, 01:09:46 PM
Bitcointalk most likely isn't planning on profiting from every user that registers, it's a free forum for whoever you are so admin don't advertise it.
They can't profit from anyone currently. Members can voluntarily help in reporting or distributing merits, if that counts. Others can become moderators or eventually admins, but in that case, the forum pays them according to their performance.

Even if some people have to pay a few bitcoins for a malicious IP, this is still a free forum that doesn't need advertising.
There is a solution for that as well. Theymos appointed a few trusted members who have the power to whitelist users who got caught up in the evil IP storm.

2498  Other / Meta / Re: Can a permanently banned account recieve a PM? on: April 17, 2023, 12:58:07 PM
You should be able to receive PMs even if you are banned. Obviously, you can't reply to any of those PMs. You can't post of edit your previous posts or merit other users. I remember someone suggested a while ago that the forum should warn users who are about to merit a post by a banned member (we can already see that by 3rd-party scripts anyways). I was against it at the time and still am today. Just because someone got banned it doesn't mean they didn't have a history of quality posts that don't deserve to be merited if someone likes them. A warning that the person is banned would affect that in my opinion.
2499  Other / Meta / Re: This gets me worried, I think the 'Brains' in the forum should look into it on: April 17, 2023, 12:44:40 PM
I am sure we already have and will have even more shitposters who use AI-generated content in the future. I don't like seeing it, and it's plagiarism. Cheap merits and ranking up are the reasons people will use it. Thus, it's cheating. It's not always going to be easy to differentiate someone with excellent English skills and a person who uses AI bots. A sudden change in the posting style is a dead giveaway though. Until they figure out that they better create brand-new accounts that post post only AI-content. But even then, they will make mistakes sooner or later.       
2500  Other / Archival / Re: WasabiWallet.io | Open-source, non-custodial Bitcoin Wallet for desktop on: April 17, 2023, 12:26:25 PM
Are you then saying we should still mix/tumble the outputs?
It depends on what you want to to with those mixed coins in the future. If you never intend to deposit them into a centralized service that might set its own rules on what is clean and dirty or suspicious and not suspicious, don't do it because of the potential of your coins getting confiscated or you having to explain things to them. If you don't even go near CEXs and services that are pro censoring, do it.     

Isn't the original problem, "what if a user mixes his/her coins through WasabiWallet's CoinJoin, and the exchange still freezes his/her account because of the mere fact that he/she used a mixer"?
The whole point is that the imaginary green checkmark that blockchain analysis companies give you means absolutely nothing. It's made up nonsense that site A might respect, while sites B to F have completely other standards, and so on.
