Yeah right.  And if Mr V vanishes what happens to ETH?

They'll just roll it back to before his disappearance.
2582  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: August 21, 2021, 03:15:30 PM
It says 4/7 so I'm guessing there's context?

Not really, he sounds like a shitcoiner - quite surprising considering he's claiming to be a dev of Blockchair, everyone's favorite block explorer - ranting about Ethereum and using Bitcoin as an example of bad "governance".
2583  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: August 21, 2021, 01:57:32 PM
What does he mean by here we are?

Here we are, knocking on $50k. Outrageous.

Again Meta serves as a trashcan. OP is a known troll, was banned once already, does not and never did have any legitimate moderation complain. Just put him out of his misery FFS.

Then process only the newer part. It is indeed tricky, just yesterday 46 posts from the same member where deleted from the same topic. But if you make sure you find at least several different lines that match in the same order, you can be pretty sure you found an "anchor" to use to decide which parts are new.

I know, it's so easy to add tasks to someone else's todo list!

Yes, I'm trying something like that - looking for "nuke" records (it's extremely unlikely that the same user would be nuked multiple times within a week) and thread removals (also unlikely if not outright impossible for the same thread to be deleted multiple times) and taking a couple of adjacent records.

A couple of things stand out:

As usual, the issue is keeping excessive amounts in hot wallets without adequate protection. We're 10+ years into this blockchain thing and we still haven't grasped what being "your own bank" entails.

Saying that wallets were compromised sounds a bit disingenuous and sends the wrong message to a casual observer, implying that it's easy to just hack a wallet remotely and steal coins. Most likely their database was compromised. Or some shitty script that they used to move funds. Or someone's sticky note with a password. Or some other poorly designed and sloppily implemented single point of failure. It's extremely unlikely that multiple wallets were exploited.
2587  Other / Meta / Re: Wall of fame / shame. Shit posts so bad that they are actually funny on: August 20, 2021, 02:17:51 AM
I've asked this before, but I don't think I've gotten an answer: are there more bounties/campaigns going on now than there have been, say, for the last year or two?  I'm just wondering because it really seems like there have been a lot more shitposts in the sections I frequent, and the forum had been pretty readable for quite a while up until recently. 

If you look at the list of campaigns:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0

And compare to a year ago:

http://web.archive.org/web/20200801021515/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0

Or two years ago:

http://web.archive.org/web/20190628000202/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0

There is an increase in the number of campaigns, but not much. On the other hand, that's just the ones that pay in BTC. Worst shitposters carry shitcoin signatures, like asrinur above. I definitely agree with you that there are more shitposts recently. Probably a combination of increased bounty activity (we're still in a bull market, sort of), lax moderation, and reporting fatigue.

The Bitcoin price has successfully touched the $46k level at the moment. if the trend continues to increase, Bitcoin has the opportunity to touch a new resistance level near $51,000.

Given the massive moves we are experiencing in the short term Bitcoin price, things are getting very foamy. I think we are going to have a big price correction in Bitcoin. Because I think BTC could drop to $30,000 to $20,000, which would be a 50% drop.

I think it looks like a bull market will increase BTC around the $40k level. It could also reach territory above $42k. If it does, it could hit $50K in the near future. Bitcoin price will continue to rise in the near future. Investing in the volatile crypto market can be a daunting task that becomes increasingly difficult for novice traders.

For reference the price was between $44k and $47k during the ~3 days so the first post kinda made sense, the second one is a bit schizo, and the third one is complete nonsense. I've seen accounts that lost their marbles after a 6-month break but never seen one going full noodle in 2 days.
2589  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BPIP] Bitcointalk Public Information Project [Back in Action] on: August 19, 2021, 05:36:20 PM
Bug: I've noticed before that BPIP's deleted post count is off, and stumbled upon a clear example now. User ebi_javanmard has 18 deleted posts on modlog (which I think is from the past week), but BPIP shows only 4 posts deleted by moderators.

modlog records are not uniquely identified (no record ID or even a timestamp) so when there are e.g. multiple posts form the same user deleted in the same thread it's a bit tricky to determine whether it's a new entry or not. I believe that's where the deleted posts get undercounted.

Still perplexed [...] @Suchmoon

Not sure why you're addressing this to me. You're the one saying that the US should keep stepping on the same rake over and over again.
2591  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Americans will burn in hell for eternity on: August 19, 2021, 01:23:13 PM
I think I struck a nerve with some of those replying.
Yes I believe the vast majority of Americans will burn in hell, save for a few exceptions.
They are trying to drag the rest of us down there with them.

Down where? Australia? I mean it's a bit harsh to call it hell.
2592  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Will Afghanistan fall into a prolonged state of war again? on: August 19, 2021, 11:52:58 AM
Because every danm American's life depends on it

Very dramatic. Also untrue.

You are world power do your job!!!

I don't think invading foreign countries should be in the job description but ultimately it's the employer (the American voter) who decides it.

Maybe a stupid question but I seems that I can't find the Add Temporary Addon in the about:debugging on Tor.
No need to mention that I was away for a while and Tor updated and now this...

Have you clicked on "This Tor Browser" on the left hand side on the about:debugging page?

Yeah it should be under there.

Bookmark this link:

Code:
about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox

(you'll need it every time you restart the browser)

If someone has that letter, please scan it and post it or send me a link.  Because as an ex-mailman, it makes me feel very bad to deliver these things to people.  And I will report it.  So should you.

This is a big motivation to other Islamic State militias operating In Africa, America must show strength.

It's not strength to invade foreign countries and blow trillions of dollars there with no net gain at best, and likely with a whole new generation growing up to hate the US. "Insanity" is more like it.
2596  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Thinking of joining the HEX campaign? Think again. on: August 19, 2021, 12:17:56 AM
Hex was launched complete with no expectation of profit from the work of others. HEX is not a security.

Boasting about profit and claiming "no expectation of profit" in the next post... nice. But if there is no "profit from the work of others" then it's clearly a ponzi scheme.

Imagine the horror, being sent a letter about the best performing asset of the last 2 years.

Small correction: mail fraud. Easiest way for stupid criminals to get caught.
2597  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Thinking of joining the HEX campaign? Think again. on: August 18, 2021, 11:25:20 PM
This spammer your referring to just raised over $28million dollars for medical research. Keep crying will hex makes new all time highs.

One bitcoin free claim worth of hex at the launch is worth over $4000 now and all you had to do was a sign a message from your btc address.  Bunch of you losers never claimed your hex or you did and dumped it as soon as you could.

Have the nice people at the SEC talked to you yet or are you still hiding from them?

Also rumor has it that the snail mail letters you're sending out to addresses stolen from Ledger are ending up with the FTC... those three-letter agencies are very very slow but when they catch up I hope you spend all your scam proceeds on lawyers.

Aren't you supposed to be banned for death threats or some shit like that, or was it some other similarly deluded dimwit.

I admit that I am doing all this only because SMZ is a friend, otherwise I would have given up for a while now!

You know what they say - with "friends" like these, who needs sockpuppets.

Ok, now you're just making shit up and peddling your conspiracy under the guise of a ban appeal. I will not entertain this nonsense here anymore - move it to the appropriate board.
