Quote from: BTCforJoe on March 14, 2018, 11:59:21 PM This forum needs more moderators. The existing ones are doing a great job, but the forum has grown immensely since most of them have been hired, and there are more shitposters than ever. I'm not sure, I've reported a few posts and they end up getting deleted pretty quickly. Quote from: squatter on March 15, 2018, 01:31:04 AM The irony of this thread? It looks like everyone in support of the OP is wearing a paid signature ad. Many of the people you will be penalizing are not. That should be the first sign that you're barking up the wrong tree. Why should someone lose signature privileges because they don't post very often? Or because they're inactive for a while? Or because there's not enough merit to go around? Or because they're not in a social group that customarily merits each other (like Default Trust cliques, the Wall Observer regulars, etc)? How do you even know that merit distribution is adequate to begin penalizing those who don't earn it? If some posters aren't receiving merit, it doesn't necessarily follow that post quality is the determining factor, either. I've seen no change since I said this one month ago: Quote from: squatter on February 11, 2018, 01:08:56 AM Quote from: yahoo62278 on March 14, 2018, 11:07:01 AM Something like users must earn 5 merits a months for their account to display a signature I really hope theymos doesn't stand for this kind of bullshit. I suggest prohibiting signature campaigns entirely as an alternative. That definitely would work but it would be the nuclear option. I think that as soon as you're paid to post it would become very difficult to not drop your post quality. Maybe if people were limited to something like 5 paid posts per month it would improve things.

With Barclays my transfers are free and take a day or two to show up on Kraken. Natwest. But this was a long time ago. It may have improved since then or I selected the wrong type of transfer. Like I said it was at the peak of 2013 madness so the slowness was probably at Bitstamp's end. Yeah I've made the mistake of picking the wrong options and not reading it afterwards. Once I paid a £50 fee on a £20 transfer, ouch.

But it can cost £30 from my bank and the one time I did it to Bitstamp it took 5 days to be credited, but that was during a peak. Which bank are you with? With Barclays my transfers are free and take a day or two to show up on Kraken. Quote from: gentlemand on March 14, 2018, 04:29:10 PM Brits need to let go of the Stockholm syndrome of dicking around with EUR, Revolut and Fidor and be jolly that here's an option that'll allow you to deposit and withdraw in the space of a few minutes. No wires, no exchange rates, no third party quasi banks. It's what the rest of the EU enjoy right now. Yep, that would make things much easier.

You must consider that London is one of the most preferred locations for worldwide rich men... Because there are no practical exchanges and there's hardly anywhere to spend it. In mainland EU you can SEPA to Kraken or Bitstamp, Bitonic or Bitcoin.de for free in an hour or two. There's nothing stopping you from using SEPA from a UK bank account.

I'm hoping that the positive merits alone will be fine. I could add demerits pretty easily later on if necessary, though. Maybe it's time for demerits to be implemented. I think that if a demerit subtracted merit from the sender too, or cost twice as much sMerit it would minimize abuse. I think that is a terrible idea as it will just be used to demerit posts that people disagree with and as part of personal vendettas. I suggested an alternative that I don't think has these disadvantages. Do you have any comment on it? I don't think that it would solve the problem. The spammers would just send themselves (or buy) one merit point every two months. Maybe if somebody received a large amount of demerits they could have their signature rights revoked, or maybe an increased cooldown between posts.

Quote from: 1Referee on March 13, 2018, 09:58:00 PM I however have read various articles stating that Barclays alongside HSBC and Llyods was planning to prohibit crypto-credit purchases, but have not heard anything from it again. How has that played out? I can't speak for HSBC or Lloyds but I've had never had an issue with Barclays after a few years with transactions to various exchanges. Quote from: gentlemand on March 13, 2018, 10:05:40 PM I'm not sure what the score is with credit cards at the moment. The fact they still allow you to deposit to gambling sites with them tells you all you need to know about that. Bittylicious will sell you Bitcoins for credit card payments, I'm not sure if they've ever had any problems.

Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Public permissioned blockchain

on: March 13, 2018, 09:40:06 AM

Quote from: normensky012 on March 13, 2018, 06:34:08 AM I have seen one blockchain based startup that raised funding via private sale. I forgot the name, I will try to recall it and tell you when I remembered it. The blockchain company is building a blockchain for shipping industry and logistic industry. But the clients don't want their logs and records to be available for competitors. Because they think when competitors know their logistics record via open blockchain, the competitor company could use this against their business model or could affect the operation and trade secrets. As you all know, almost any data now is crucial for business, hence the "data is the new oil". This blockchain startup is building a permissioned blockchain. Where any businesses could use, but only certain individuals could only access their own records. Company A, B, and C could use this blockchain. But only approved individuals can access data from for specific company, employee 1 can access it's own company A blockchain records, but there's no way he can see the records from company B and C. That's how they put it. Sorry for long post. I am still catching up the whole blockchain thing. I don't understand why you'd use a blockchain for that purpose. It just seems like people are using it as a buzzword that means "[centralized and proprietary] immutable database".

Quote from: puwaha on March 12, 2018, 04:26:22 AM The other Cryptonite coins are not considered super profitable. The other CryptoNight coins are usually significantly more profitable to mine than Monero. https://www.cryptunit.com/ offers a nice comparison.

How does a private, permissioned blockchain exist? What is the incentive for a miner if they aren't rewarded with anything? Surely at that point it'd just be a centralised database.

on: March 10, 2018, 02:38:43 PM

There are some privacy concerns as the service could link the transaction with you (well, your IP address), but it's no worse than using a web wallet or Electrum with a public server.

Quote from: nullius on February 13, 2018, 01:54:39 PM I’ve also been seriously mulling ideas for an online service which finds “vanity tweaks” for a private key held by a user—essentially, convenient results from rented time on powerful CPUs in the “cloud” (much though I loathe that word). I’m curious as to how popular such a service could be. Anybody interested? I'd be interested in a service like that. Please could you PM me if you ever get round to doing it? Thanks

Quote from: ingo49 on March 04, 2018, 03:32:08 PM Many new accounts here are defending monero for some reason. Quote from: ingo49 on March 05, 2018, 02:16:01 PM I'm surprised by the trolls creating new accounts trying to FUD this. Why are you so obsessed? I'm defending Monero because I use it almost every day and have for the past few years. Quote from: ingo49 on March 04, 2018, 03:32:08 PM At last we are seeing a fork that actually moves the needle with regards to improving the forked coin. You really think so? I think it's just a way for the 'developers' to make a quick buck. Monero has an excellent group of developers and researchers, and the MoneroV developers currently have nothing to show for themselves. Quote from: Mine24-7 on March 04, 2018, 07:36:23 PM Quote from: owlcatz on March 04, 2018, 07:27:22 PM What do you all think of this? This is the linked article in the post - https://medium.com/@tweetingpauls/beware-of-non-native-forks-of-monero-6f5a0bf1fccf As long as you move your XMR to a new wallet AFTER the fork, but BEFORE you claim, your XMR is perfectly safe. This is the first thing you learn about when claiming forks. If you don't know this simple fact, you shouldn't be claiming any fork of any coin. Your XMR will be safe, but it can hurt your privacy. There's a patch prepared for Monero which fixes things though. Quote from: majika on March 05, 2018, 05:36:27 PM What drawbacks? Drawbacks from whose perspective? Monero is a perfect coin, project. I don't think that Monero is perfect (yet). Scaling is a real issue because of the transaction sizes, bulletproofs will help things but it'll still be behind Bitcoin and most other coins.
