ima takmicenje za najbolji alt portfolio u 2023, postave se cetiri altcoin-a, jedan mora biti izvan top100, i onda se za narednu novu godinu vidi ko ima najbolji portfolio, ima jos par sitnih napomena, ali eto procitajte uvodni post, ako hocete da uzmete ucesce
Hvala za info, odigrao i ja. I to skoro maksimalno konzervativno, da sam mogao i vise staviti u stablecoin, stavio bih jer od 2023 ne ocukejm da bude ista bolja od ove. A ako moje predvidjanje bude jako lose, onda vjerojatno znaci da i godina nece biti toliko losa.  Cheesy

SBF allegedly cashed out $684k from Seychelles exchange while being under house arrest. So much about having only $100K left lol (not that anyone believed it anyway). At first I thought he surely isn't that stupid but then I remembered all the stupid things he did lately so I wouldn't be surprised if he tried something like this.

According to BowTiedIguana’s analysis, SBF’s public address (0xD5758) on Dec. 28 sent all remaining Ether to a newly created address (0x7386d). BowTiedIguana noted that SBF took over the address that was originally owned by Sushiswap creator from Chef Nomi in August 2020.

Within hours, 0x7386d received transfers totaling $367,000 from 32 addresses identified as Alameda Research wallets, with an additional $322,000 coming from other wallets. All funds were sent to a centralized crypto exchange in Seychelles and to the crypto bridge RenBridge, according to the DeFi analyst.

has any moderator so far explained exactly what is crucial in approving the deletion of reported posts?
I guess its all about how obvious is that post reported broke one of the forum rules.


on only 3440 reported posts, I have 14 bad, and 14 unhandled. although I'm pretty sure all unhandled absolutely deserve to be deleted.
That's very low amount of unhandled reports considering how many you reported, and i am sure all of us think the same about our unhandled reports.  Grin


I would really like to hear the moderator's opinion on why they left it unhandled. not only in my case but in general for everyone, especially reported by users who have a high percentage of accuracy.

I believe there was already a discussion about this, but I haven't seen the mod's confession until now.
I remember seeing mods discussion it so I looked it up a little bit and this is what I found and its pretty much as I thought it is. So instead giving us bad report in the end, they rather chose to let it stay unhandled so it doesn't affect report percentage.

Yeah, definitely borderline reports are more likely to stay in unhandled status than straight forward cases. I'll need to come up with some examples, which I was struggling for the other day. I was going to do it for my reporting effectively guide I made a few years ago. There's just some instances were a soft bad is more appropriate than handled it as a bad report, and it's usually something along the lines of a borderline case.

One example would be malicious links or distributing malware. While the moderator might agree that it looks malicious, verifying that can sometimes be difficult, and hence they can sometimes go unhandled, which isn't ideal, but verifying something like that is rather difficult. There's a lot of work involved actually verifying whether something is unsafe. Users reporting tend to rely on online virus checkers, but they routinely false flag mining programs as an example.

Yet another "London based exchange" (that should be sign of legitimacy I guess) that is not listed on either CMC or Coingecko (being listed there doesn't mean that exchange is legit, but not being there at all is a huge red flag) and with inflated (~10%)  BTC/ETH/any other coin prices in order to attract users (read victims). This looks like a straight up scam to me.

Another thing, like in a recent Kufrux exchange case they copied the same TOS text. Might even be the work of the same group of people.

Sorry, some caching issues on my end. Try now.
Yeah I can see now Nigerian board, thanks once again! And no worries, I wasn't in a big hurry as I can't start with the local boards overview before year is over anyway.


After NYE, I'll see if I can scrape what's missing (posts/merits) and maybe look at bypassing CF. Wish me luck. Sad
It would be great if you could somehow add posts written in their original thread.
2547  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as Legal tender plan by Fiji's new prime minister on: December 29, 2022, 10:17:26 PM
El Salvador is a first country which makes Bitcoin as legal tender. Fiji even makes a same thing, effect should be smaller. Because there is a first nation made it. In addition, in bear market, effects would be smaller too.
Being first in this case doesn't really matter. What matters is doing it the proper way and actually being successful at it and that's something all countries imho failed so far.


That lord from Tonga is already old news, and every time he appears in the media, a new date appears when Bitcoin will be legal tender in his country - and now he has decided to use a politician from another country, calling him a Bitcoin pro-bull, even though no evidence has been presented that he even knows what Bitcoin is.
I haven't had a pleasure of hearing about him before, but one look at his Twitter is enough to see that guy is full of shit. I like how he is all about bitcoin, and then upon checking him a little bit closer you found that he is behind some DeFi crap known as DeFiWallet, "one stop shop for Web 3.0 enthusiast. Swapping, staking, yield farming, AR-bsaed NFT marketplace all under same roof".  Cheesy

Middle class people do not have that EXTRA money WHICH THEY CAN"T AFFORD TO LOSE.
Middle class people that do not have extra money that they can invest in bitcoin/stocks/land/whatever and are living from salary to salary aren't middle class at all.


Yes, i invest in bitcoins but it is not EXTRA money and I am afraid I can't afford to lose. Do you have that EXTRA money that you can afford to lose  Huh
Well, you are playing a dangerous game but at least you are aware of the risk since you are not new to bitcoin. To answer your question, I only invest the amount I can lose, meaning part of my salary goes to the savings account and I use only part of it to buy bitcoin. I could invest more, but I don't wanna get into situation that I need to sell bitcoin with a loss just because I need cash asap.
2549  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as Legal tender plan by Fiji's new prime minister on: December 29, 2022, 03:43:46 PM
I am happy to hear this news,, one by one countries are starting to recognize Bitcoin as a legal tender Wink
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I can't find anything in this article about Fiji prime minister saying anything publicly about making bitcoin legal tender. As a matter of fact, it looks more like a clickbait article based on a rumour started by a Tonga politician who claimed Fiji PM is pro-Bitcoin.
2550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 Oscar Awards betting and discussions on: December 29, 2022, 11:57:32 AM
But the film was a box office disappointment, and despite a budget of close to $40 million it could only gross around $10 million. Now I want to see whether the jury has courage to select a film, that has been rejected by the audience.
I don't think that box office success is high on the Academy priority list when choosing winner for the best picture award. Its more about lobbying than anything else tbh, and every once in a while the best movie in selection gets the award.


I haven't watched the movie yet but I watched the trailer and I really think he deserve the Oscar I am sure that I will be placing a bet on that one.
How can you say the he deserves Oscar based on on a 2 minutes trailer, and without seeing at least few other performances from other actors? I haven't watched the The Whale yet as it hasn't arrived in my country, but from the performances I have seen so far, Colin Farrell has been the best. But in the end it all depends whether odds given are good enough to place the bet (if odds end up being like 1.2-1.3 on Brendan Fraser, I will pass).


Assuming that he won the Oscar, wouldn't that be awesome as it's been around 20 years when he do his last movie and I really admire his movie when I was a little bit young.
While its been that long from his last big success, he made a couple of  movies in recent years, its just that none of them were very good and he didn't have a lead role.
2551  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitcoin debit card, no kyc on: December 29, 2022, 08:49:19 AM
I think that the title of your post is misleading because from what I could understand they don't offer debit cards but instead prepaid/gift cards and there's a difference between those.


As far as I know the days of no-KYC bitcoin debit cards are over.
There are still some attempts, but even if they are legit, I don't expect them to keep working in the long run.

Our Sam remains silent, he was online earlier today and certainly was aware of this current situation, but didn't choose to say anything.
Yesterday I sent him PM as well so there's no chance that he missed all that. My guess is that he decided that money he got for promoting them on bitcointalk is worth more than his Member account so he decided to just continue with it.

Regarding those who joined their signature bounty campaign, last night I contacted all of them, and from what I can see only 3 still have their sig on but as expected those who are doing social media part of the campaign keep joining in, not caring about flag & tags.

2555  Other / Meta / Re: Request: New Local Board for Pakistan (Urdu) on: December 28, 2022, 04:49:43 PM
Since 2015, i have seen only Nigerian board being created recently. I am not aware if any other board is created since that time.
Few more local boards have been created since 2015 (excluding Nigerian ofc), you might wanna check History of local boards.


Lots of discussions and active participation can be one of the reasons for the creation of a local board, don't think a lot of merits should be the criteria or it can be if we are looking for quality.
Where exactly I mentioned merits in my post as one of the criteria for a local board? Quality>quantity" has nothing to do with merits btw.
2556  Other / Meta / Re: Request: New Local Board for Pakistan (Urdu) on: December 28, 2022, 04:12:19 PM
I really don't see what the drawback or issue for the forum admins on not creating the board. Maybe they have to do a bit of programming to set up the board and assign a moderator for the board. Fail to understand the exact reason for delaying board creation???
Imho, the main reason why those in charge are not so easy with creation of new local board is because many of them are now either semi-dead or dead (take a look at Japanese board whihc was the last created before Nigerians got their own) so they want to be sure (as much as possible) that the same thing won't happen with new ones too. Regarding moderators assignment, I don't think that's an issue as some other local boards don't have their own and function pretty good even without it.


Waiting for days and weeks seems reasonable but Pakistan local threads do not deserve a wait for years. I am saying this because we are very active in our local community and deserve a local board sooner.
While I do think that you deserve local board sooner than later, you should be prepared for a longer wait and you shouldn't get into pessimistic mode if you don't get it within few weeks or even few months. Imho, you should have started this topic years ago but better late than never.


Once we get the local board, it will increase the activity also and I am sure it will turn out to be the most active local board.  Just like we stand out among local threads, we will show our impression among local boards also.
Quality>quantity.

Thank you for the warning. It has been added!

That was quick, cheers!

edit: Hm, boards there are sorted by the date of creation right, so Nigerian should be at the bottom? Anyway, for some reason I just can't find it so I don't know if its just me being incapable or if it will take some time to actually appear?

2558  Economy / Reputation / Re: 5000 good posts reported - we can all do it too! on: December 28, 2022, 03:33:41 PM
If the admin/mods did their jobs we wouldn't have to report anywhere near as many posts which, like previous posters, go "unhandled" seemingly through indifference.
I don't think that "unhandled" means indifference, its more often about mods/admins not wanting to mark report as being bad, so they leave it unhandled.

Beside admins/mods being way more strict, the other way to reduce amount of reports needed by other members is forum has more of them, preferably each board having different mod so they can browse through every new topic and moderate it (the way its been done in some other forum I visit). Since mods here are paid for their work, I don't think that's going to happen.

Hey @TryNinja

I don't know if you noticed, but new local board (Nigerian) has been created so when you plan to add it? I have to start working on a new monthly overview and I can't do it without you updating ninjastic.space first. Cheers! Grin

Yeah we know, OP mentioned it in the first post.


I hope those promoting this project will stop promoting this project I'm sure they will be made aware of this after they see the red tag of their manager.
The only ones who may stop are higher ranking members that are part of signature campaign, and only because I sent them PM explaining what will happen if they don't remove it. Other than that, I am sure that majority of other bounty hunters don't really care whether something is scam or not as long as they get their tokens. In this case they probably won't get anything and then they will come here to cry how they did "hard work" for nothing.
