I'd tell any 5 year old to ask their parents if they really want to know about Bitcoin.

I'm more thinking of 21,000,001 Bitcoins. By then my account is worthless anyway. Disclaimer: I saw this "offer" from an old account a long time ago, so the idea isn't mine but I forgot who it was.

That's totally allowed, but heavily frowned upon. Almost as much frowning as you get when you buy an account.

Bitcointalk is a community. Account sales and meriting your own post are like cheating the community. It's up to you to choose which path you want to walk.

Can you make this +50 minutes, to account for the increased delay between scraping Coingecko?

Before doing all this for data analysis, have a look at these topics:

That sounds like bypassing the wordfilter:

A bit, but I'm not celebrating yet. I've felt like this a few times before in the past 3 months. More tests later this week.
Thanks

Welcome back. Real life can be unimaginably difficult

I prefer to add Reference links with compelling evidence.

It's allowed (as anything is), but I wouldn't call it correct use of the Trust system as it's not very interesting for others. Use User Notes if you want to keep a diary.

When I tag someone with negative feedback, I want it to be convincing for others. It wouldn't be very Switzerland of me to start tagging people for "maybe".

I'd say: add it when you can. Check my Sent feedback: the few without Reference link either can't have one, or don't need one.

I wouldn't worry about DT too much: just add users with good judgement.

Thanks again for your flawless timing and lightning fast on-chain confirmation!

Seriously though, it's up to any potential trade partner to make apply their own judgement of the feedback on an account. I used neutral so it's a warning without harsh consequences. That may change in the future, but I wouldn't be surprised if Ratimov doesn't return.

I'd say: "it depends". User yogg went from +32 / =0 / -0 a year ago to #  +13 / =0 / -43 now. This means the majority of DT removed their positive feedback.
On the other hand, there's this account, where RHavar left positive feedback in 2016, and negative feedback in 2019. This way, it shows a timeline of events and going from trusted to untrusted.

It's more that I don't think the old feedback still applies.

Agreed I love democracy

Neither. There is no such thing as being "overly bullish" when it comes to Bitcoin.

I considered it, but I also try to be conservative with negative feedback. For now, I think 2 DT-negatives are already a strong warning for anyone not to deal with the account.
We'll see if the sponsorship-thing turns into a Flag by one of the winners next month. If it's created, I'll probably Support it.

That's change, and that's normal. But: your transaction included 3 inputs. If you would have used Coin Control, you could have picked only the largest inputs instead of consolidating all of them. That would have lead to a smaller transaction, and saved money on fees. Coin Control means manually choosing which inputs you use. You can do this for instance in Electrum or Bitcoin Core.

It depends: you could save on the transaction fee, at the risk of not getting through. And ViaBTC counts bytes instead of vbytes, which means 3 inputs may or may not be above the 500 byte limit already. It won't be faster than paying a high fee, but it will be faster than waiting for fees to drop if you paid a low fee.

No. Paid transaction accelerators are a last resort: it's definitely (much) more expensive than paying a high enough on-chain transaction fee, using RBF or using CPFP.

Don't believe everything you read online. That would make it over 200 million people, which is 4 times more than the number of funded Bitcoin addresses.

I don't know.

Only if you move them in one transaction. It sounds like you should learn how Bitcoin transaction inputs work, looking around on a block explorer may help.

You're late to the party. At current fees, it's not the right time to consolidate small inputs.

Spammers already pay $40 to create dust transactions. How high do you want to set the minimum fee?

I left Ratimov (now Symmetrick^*) neutral feedback:
I had to squeeze it to fit the 600 character limit.

For anyone who left Ratimov positive feedback in the past: Let me put it this way: would you trust Ratimov again now? I think "trading with this person is high-risk" applies at the moment, and for that, changing historic positive feedback can help protect others.

^* Normally, I respect name changes for privacy, but in this case, I don't think it's right to change your username right before you abandon the English boards and shortly after that stop posting entirely.

Side question: why do you use it if it's not recommended?

My advice: get a wallet that supports Coin Control. If possible, select an input that doesn't require any change.

That being said: if you have 0.0016 Bitcoin in your wallet, you should probably not spend it at all if fees take up 20% of that amount. Just wait for better times.

You are correct. I noticed ViaBTC's accelerator availability indeed varies during the day.

It can be changed, there's a tickbox:

The sites will be banned from Bitcointalk, which means [banned site] covers it.
