anyhow if this idea is ever implemented, a dialog box for confirmation should pop-up, we don't want to add random members by mistake
I think a simple checkbox will do:
  • trust
  • ~distrust
  • remove from Trust list

I am in 100% support.

Having an easier way than going through a song and dance to add or remove someone from the trust list will be nice.

I barely got my list set up in the last month or so;  and would like to keep it updated... but often don't have the time to do so or couldnt be bothered..

You should let him go.

Just this once.

My theory on account sales is as follows.

It is legal don’t punish any above board account sale.

Instead mark the sale as account sold on date it sold.

It must show that and it is not a tag offense.


Hidden account sales = ban the mofo.

This encourages all sales to be marked and shown.

What we do now encourages hidden sneaky sales.

And a do to doot person gets burned.

While a sneak does not.

I understand why you marked him but I think my solution is what to do. Mark a sold account as sold.

100% agree.

The Pharmacist is an asshole,he will do everything to give those new folks a negative even if its not against the rules.You broke the rule thats why this abusive wont forgive you,ask him and he will laugh at you like what his colleagues are doing.

I have noticed many people don't care about offending others, as feelings are your own problem sourced from your own perceptions.

I have been called out on many things in the past, and keeping a cool head and being curt and straightforward has both earned me this same type of response, as well as myself being straight and curt has been the way I respond to such things... To myself, I feel this has earned me the respect I deserve.

Civility breeds itself.    Incivility gets exponential faster than civility.  

Knowing this:  be careful on how you approach people with preconceptions on how you think someone should be or act;  as everyone is just in their own feelings and has no right to push them on others.

Ask me a question and then answer it yourself. Cool! Live, artisanal strawman crafting! Then ad-hominem attacks based on the weakness of the argument that you just crafted on my behalf.  You don't even need me.  You could literally do this with a tree and it would be exactly the same.
.... *snip*

Its called asking a question while giving ones own perspective for congruence and creates less useless back and forth talk.  

Please... drop the attitude... it doesn't help your case.

A simple answer goes a long way.
264  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Socialism is so bad that it allows poor people to live. Horrible true story on: July 14, 2019, 01:46:53 AM
Unless I'm talking about something new, I almost never cite sources during informal discussion.   I thought it was common knowledge that the US spends more per capita than any other country.  I also thought it was common knowledge that the US has a low life expectancy relative to other countries with similar wealth.  With that said, I admit I have a problem thinking too many things are common knowledge and don't always cite things when sometimes they should be cited.

The problem with TECSHARE is that he doesn't even believe in widely accepted truths.   When I have cited psychology literature, he writes it off because the entire field of psychology is a farce to him.   So is Science.  When you are talking to someone who has  embraces pseudo-science, and simply writes off scientific 97% of scientific citations, there really is no point in citing anything.  There is no getting anywhere really.  To him, anything that doesn't support his point is deconstructive postmodernism grounded in the same ideology that caused a drought in Ukraine almost a century ago.

"widely accepted truths", often times known as a lot of dumb people in a room reassuring each other. It is a fact that psychology is the least scientific of the accepted sciences, because by their nature they lack empirical requirements such as controls, repeatable results, and direct observation among other things. Your sources had failed methodologies such as being based on surveys. I dismissed your surveys because they are not only a wildly unreliable source of information, but one which is easily manipulable, not just because "psychology is a farce". The point was that even if everything you presented was correct, it would still be of the lowest forms of evidence available. You don't cite anything because you don't have the capability to competently review your sources, and you know that I do. Everything I don't support is not, "deconstructive postmodernism" (its deconstructivist btw), just the vast majority of what you have to offer. Are you insinuating that Holodomor happened because of a drought now? And I am the pseudo-scientist?

TECSHARE is actually extremely on-point.

I really think the subject of this thread should actually read: "Socialism is so bad that it allows poor people to live in poverty. Horrible true story";  because historically, and presently:  This is the truth when seen from an objective eye analyzing past and present data.  Many countries that have some socialist policies that people like to mis-represent as socialist today; are actually not socialist, and haven't been for some time.

For instance in California;  people actually believe the last "drought" [when it was actually just a water shortage] was caused by "climate change/global warming/etc..."  when in fact California simply ran extremely low on water reserves because they local government decided to flush all stocks of water from pretty much all of the reservoirs in the year and a half prior;  there was very heavy rains in the preceding years, and they assumed it would continue as such.  

These people are driven by the same mentality that the sea level should/will never change;  not being understanding of the fact that elevation is based on sea level, and not the other way around....   As a professional land surveyor;  I can attest to the face that the ground moves;  a LOT more than you would expect.  

Not to mention: that pumping mass amounts of water out of the ground for drinking caused the city of Palo Alto to sink pretty far below sea level, and the water district continually pumps mass amounts of water back into the ground to offset and keep it from sinking further.  Go ahead;  look it up.

But people never wish to factor in aspects that go against their perceived notions when it comes to studying a thing in the first place.   Statistics are only as good as the datum inserted and the parameters formed by the person with an objective for a particular result.

Now im not quoting or linking citations, but at least i'm being extremely clear about what is and isn't; in an extremely easy to verify way.  It is courteous to do such when speaking in such a manner.

yeah, i was drawn away from those style of boards because you are adding more points of failure to power distribution; more contact points, cables, etc....

This is why I loved the D8P soo much;  aside from the 8+4.

even if they dont have a signature, you can usually dig it out by looking at one or two of their post history pages....   but you cant base it off of a sig because most farming begins to build up to that point so its a catch-22.
267  Other / Meta / Re: [FARM SUPPRESSION] Clearing the Horde of Spammers on: July 12, 2019, 02:45:03 AM
yep, 35 reports here 100% accuracy... and growing.... but in the past i have been extremely careful about throwing people under the bus.


I try to do my best;  as spammers are the main reason I no longer get a stipend from my signature... which was very nice initially... but the flack from just having it in the end;  definitely outweighed the benefit.


I still post the same amount in bursts as I have always done....   the larger empty periods of no posts/activity from me are generally related to my disability.
268  Other / Meta / Re: Do you consider this as a SPAM? on: July 12, 2019, 02:40:05 AM
its not plagiarism, but it is spam;

go in to those posts, and click the report this post button for all 3 posts and in the comments field, use something like "spam poster, see topics #xxxxxxx #xxxxxxx and #xxxxxx" replacing the x's with the topic numbers.  he will be banned and his posts removed.

regards; someone has a valid configuration for 7970 or rx280 the most I get is 400 h / s

sounds about right for the older cards...

do you mean R9-280?

I run a RX560  and see at most 380h/s but typically ~320.

check https://www.xmrstak.com/  It is the place people post their configs.

You may need to mess with the AMD.txt file and fine tune your particular cards.

Hopefully it will help; but clicking the report button and typing in a description is the proper action.
What I understand that we can report posts, but not an user. As I said, I reported some of his last posts. But, to report the user, I created this topic.

be sure to add notes about the type of report it is.   it is the responsibility of moderators to pass this down the chain of command if its that type of person.
271  Other / Meta / Re: Requesting Mods to check post history of this guy on: July 07, 2019, 09:54:22 PM
I just reported him myself.

Hopefully it will help; but clicking the report button and typing in a description is the proper action.
272  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Socialism is so bad that it allows poor people to live. Horrible true story on: July 07, 2019, 01:25:53 AM
no worries whatsoever... sometimes I have to be the proponent of evil to get a little more paint on the picture so to speak.... hopefully nothing was taken personally.

Anytime I see some sort of lacking statement/statistic, I take the time to go in and attempt to verify the validity of their statements....   and it kinda rubs me wrong people dismiss things so easily... no matter how farse they can be... not unless you actually know the details about what they are obviously incorrect about.



As a prime example;  people are all up in arms right now about the citizenship questions on the national census....

You search for census forms, and all the major search engines give you results that seem to back up the claims that they weren't asked in previous years, and that its crazy and racist or whatever the #@$% that the question of citizenship is being asked....


But if you were to find the actual historical forms; you would see all the questions that are omitted from the PDF's that are commonly returned in search results [today] for lets say the year 2000....  these newly drafted 3 page PDF's are presented as original;  but they are recently created.    I actually have filled out the census form many times in the last 10+ years personally.   These questions are indeed on them, and here's the prime example of the real census forms that were sent out and filled out on 2000-2002: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/methodology/questionnaires/Quest00to02.pdf?# As these are the real forms.

Trying to find those actual forms... took me quite a bit of work;  which I totally feel for you because that's the exact position he was putting you in to... but it doesn't excuse the need to verify claims regardless of the citations if you are truly intent on understanding the other side and not just pushing your perspectives onto them in a one sided argument/discussion on your end.
273  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Will this setup work for my first mining rig? (Diagram included) on: July 07, 2019, 12:18:03 AM
Dude I am Phil from Queens😀

Born in far rockaway.
Grew up in Ozone Park

Got my degree from Queens college.


Back to your post.  Try six GPUs to start.

Do no go server route.

Buy extra risers as they tank a lot.

I prefer using EVGA or Corsair.

Corsair rm1000x refurbished costs 139.99 I have 5 or 6 of them they run very well

Honestly 8xGPU setup is a sweet spot, mixed with server PSU or LC1650 mining edition


This can't be conveyed more heavily.

When you get dense rigs, it is nice having fewer objects to handle;  but when one goes down, you lose a LOT of hash compared to smaller rigs.    Also;  The semantics of getting the 8+ GPU's to play friendly (usually a mix of AMD/Nvidia)... is too much for someone just starting off.

Extra risers for testing/diagnosis/failure replacements are a must.

Also;  when you are putting these high current draw miners on an electrical circuit;  lets say a 15A circuit;  you want to utilize 80% of that circuit safely if you are planning on having a consistent high load on a single circuit.  That would give you 12A to play with.   Running a 15A circuit at 15A will lead to failure and quite possibly a fire.  Nobody wants that... It may be rated to handle it;  but the wires will heat up, and you never know the quality of wire that was put into your walls a lot of the time.


Running dual PSU machines;  can be tricky, as one PSU usually starts up a little before the other.... sometimes even when they are the same model from the same batch (could be narrowed down to the variance in the current inrush limiter on the PSU giving them different startup times);  So in the event of a power failure, you must be sure they both start up at the same time, or the one that starts up second is the one hooked to the motherboard's ATX+CPU connectors.

Using a modified server PSU is a valid thing;  but It is smartest overall to not deal with any of the mess that could add to your potential problems when you are starting off and figuring things out.

reflexiontoken:   Have your known partners provide proof that they are indeed partners with you; and maybe the accusation will be retracted;  but these accusations don't come lightly; and are for a VERY good reason if you do your research like I just did.

If you are willing to issue a project with a newbie account:  you should be willing to accept the flak and skepticism from the veteran members of this site.  Expect to have to prove yourself heavily to become trusted.

If you can't deal with it in a calm and concise manner;  you are in the wrong business and should rethink your life choices right about now.

Anyone had a problem with gpu that works on 50% core clock instead 100%,in this case instead working on 1600mhz it works on 800?faulty gpu or something else?

at first notion;  it sounds like a damaged gpu; but even a driver can cause this type of problem....  might wanna open up a thread about it....

same sentiment.


PM me a bubble wallet address;  Ill send you 1k to stake.

It ain't much;  but its something.


If you wanna send some BTC for it afterwards, that's your prerogative, but id like to not be one of the only 3 doing it Wink
277  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: What to do with all the old s-9s. on: July 05, 2019, 02:55:08 AM
This is actually pretty cool...

If only the shitmain controller wasn't needed;  it would be very nice for the people wanting to put a little gear here, and a little there.

I have a friend in Australia that wants to send me some S9's or S9SE's...  So I may end up doing this in one form or another.    I am rather limited on the power I can use at home, but if I get my hands on the stock of panels that I have been promised several times;  it shouldn't be an issue to make several mini satellite machines to stick at the random locations I get free power/network use.

The thing that had me sold on the R606 was the <400w and quiet.....   This is also in that realm.

Will be interesting to see how far sidehack will get the efficiency when he begins to salvage the s9 chips to build a new generation.
278  Other / Meta / Re: Typical Spammerisms on: July 04, 2019, 11:46:55 PM
Should I be flagging these sorts of posts/people?
Flagging via the flag system? Abso-fucking-lutely not.

Flagging as in reporting either privately or publicly via a thread/forum post/PM to a moderator? Absolutely.

The issue with the altcoin sections is that over 99% of posts on them are spam.

I can attest to this because I have literally reported entire consecutive pages and actually increased my reporting accuracy from 97% to 99%.

This was over a sample size of about 1800 reports.

sorry;  poor choice in words....

reporting should have been the word.....


I guess i should just use "serial spam nonsense comments, nothing useful submitted by this user" in the report reason field?

I am pretty sure that account is using either a crappy bot to formulate a response, or is just forming an answer or blind comment based on the context of the subject field only.


I am considering making a few posts with incorrect topics; and have the discussion be 100% about a different thing (but still relevant to the section).... Just to try and pick out these types of posters....  Maybe a moderator might think about doing this themselves.

Who would you recommend I pm about people like this?    I think the "report this post" link posts it to the section moderator;  which in this type of instance the poster needs to be reviewed;  not the post.. so im wondering if that type of report will go to the right place if you understand my thinking.
279  Other / Meta / Re: Typical Spammerisms on: July 04, 2019, 09:51:08 PM
Speaking of spammerisms: Look at this guy's post history...
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1142904

I mean;  language barrier... maybe... but...

What have his posts really added to most topics?  They seem....   unintelligible....  and all of his comments seem to rotate around the thread topic, and not other peoples responses.  His comment in Phil's thread about the new threadripper made me want to look into him.

Should I be flagging these sorts of posts/people?
280  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX Processors. Has any one ordered it? on: July 04, 2019, 06:07:57 PM
yeah, i've been eyeballing one for when my truck sells;  I too have never had state of the art, but have always ended up with 2 generations old top of the line.....  This little i3 ive been on since I received it can only do so much =)

It's hard to justify spending 2K on a motherboard and processor, but I figure I would not need to replace them for at least 6+ years..... that makes it worth it to me.


80mb cache.... that's really where it hits the home run.    Most people can't imagine the difference between a 2Mb cache and a 10Mb cache intel chip;  until they actually experience it..... it's a night and day difference.

My downside is I would be footing for a MB, CPU and a cooler; which I definitely will not be doing air since AIO's are so efficient and easy on the wallet these days.


If I did get it;  Ill definitely be putting it towards cryptonight in its spare time.    It would be a waste to not.
