I was already Legendary when this new system began and slowly, little by little, the number of merits I receive has dwindled. Not because I don't contribute - far from it, it's just the "gangs" control the merits due to increasingly poor choices by @theymos and others surrounding who should be a merit font. Having said that, I'm now at 598 merits received and my merit circle score is 378 giving me a "rank" over on BPIP of 78. Such scores should be taken into consideration when theymos or others either review merit fonts to remain in as merit sources, or, replacing them with more inclusive applicants so as to avoid situations such as this golden shower by merit sources.

but bitcoin doesn't have the middle men to do the clogging up
This is true - it's the miners who are clogging the system up by only cheery-picking the cream transaction fees all the while leaving the lesser paying transactions to wallow and even fall out of the mempool because of how much better bitcoin is to allow transactions to be ignored for so long. How many times have we heard about the blocks with very few transactions (which incidentally are the highest paying for their ride). Do you imagine banks would remain open if they told their customers they didn't feel like processing transactions at the moment? (Or, until the recipient of the transaction then on spent those funds and paid a higher fee to do so?)

My first five bets for round two of The Maharaja of Bitcointalk are on the Academy Awards to be held on the 25th of April, 2021 as follows: https://nitrogensports.eu/sportsbook![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F05%2F16%2Fblob4ee9c76103bbe364.jpeg&t=663&c=ykh5e0J-b31r8w) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F05%2F16%2Fblobeb0bb4711d96369c.jpeg&t=663&c=faXg6cbKmAp9QA) I'll advise what my starting pool is a little closer to the starting date.

My picks: Best Actor: Chadwick Boseman (Ma Raineys Black Bottom)

Bump! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) The offer is still available. Feel free to post here or send me a PM ( please include some decent photos.). My Father was selling those cards at the Fortitude Valley Markets (Circa 2010) and before that at the now defunct Redbank Woolen Mill Markets circa 1998-2005. I'm heading over to his place on Sunday and see what he's got left (I know he's got NRL & AFL & ?NFL cards too, but am uncertain which are sets Vs singles. As to 1st Edition etc, that I don't know, but will post pics next week.

I never really noticed BenTheAnonMod in the past so it means he was not doing a good job being the public face of Cryptopia if many members here have no recollection of him but if he was an employee surely he could post here with empathy. He was last online here in January 2020. Here are the Cryptopia creators Rob Dawson and Adam Clark promoting their now failed Cryptopia exchange. I wonder if their roles in to the collapse of the exchange will be looked in to again by New Zealand police. Maybe they will be interviewed under caution or simply by being asked to voluntarily make statements about what happened back then that led to the closure of Cryptopia. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsmartoptions.io%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F07%2FCryptopia-Scammers-Rob-Dawson-Adam-Clark-1024x578.png&t=663&c=yS4o_fBs0kKC7Q) What are the chances the founders of Cryptopia will be dragged back in to this issue with a view to some law enforcement agency finding them negligent and hold them responsible criminally?
Have you noticed how silent "self proclaimed" employee BenTheAnonMod has been over the last twelve months? Or the two other "official representatives" of Cryptopia that Trolled this thread until very recently? (I wonder why they've been so quiet eh?) You may not have seen that I've been collecting articles on Cryptopia from the net as documented in this thread: [Cryptopia] ONLINE ARTICLES related to hack &theft of funds 2020 (non discussion)(Note: that thread is not intended to be a discussion thread).
From the OP links to other sites (including the NZ Police) where you can find more pertinent information:

What if those time travelers were smart enough not to go to the party because they might cause a rift in time and space because there was a change in the past. But considering the recent time travel paradox, if the time travelers were to go to the party then they will cause a change in the future which is going to change the timeline where the time machine was invented earlier or later which means that they didn't really went to the party resetting everything.
Funny how Stephen Hawking never said who the invitations were sent out to - he refutes time travel but knows Time Travelers enough to be able to send them invitations? That's got to be a paradox. Of course it might just be no-one wanted to go to Hawking's' party.

I need a bing account that has been fully verified. The payment method was also added.
I need Audrey Hollander to serve me Alcoholic Beverages distilled through her kidneys all the while she's wearing stunning PM wear with stilettos and fishnet-stockings before we head out for a night on the town, but that isn't going to happen either. Why don't you just fill the form out and verify like everyone else?

It was changed (unannounced IIRC) a couple of years ago. I'd given six or seven trust feedbacks to Quickseller and a similar number to suchmoon then discovered the new five post limit. If you've given more than five you now can't give more. Delete one you still can't give more until the total drops to four or less trust feedbacks.
Realistically speaking saying someone is a tosser only needs to be in one post, but I digress...
The length of the posts has also diminished as well, so those rambling ones left on my trust feedback page are mercifully a thing of past.

How many accounts do you have? You will know what is the reason I don't use the main account. It doesn't really matter how many accounts they have - as I said to one - they'll never become a "Legendary" member of the Forum having established themselves with honest discussions. They just can't do it.

I hope you can find someone who can help you time travel in the past, can you please pm me in 2013 and tell me to sell everything I have and buy Bitcoin, you can screenshot this message, before going into the past, I hope and wish you success, maybe you are the one who can help us trace who is Satoshi Nakamoto.
There's an episode of the 1980's version of The Twilight Zone where a yong man goes back in time in the hopes of meeting Elvis Presley - as he travels he finds no evidence of that person and gets swept up in singing the songs and in effect becomes the persona Elvis Presley (the story concludes where "Elvis" shoots the T.V. in the hotel room while melancholy reflecting he became Elvis). In the credits, it turns out the story was approved by the Elvis Presley Estate. Perhaps our intrepid OP is Satoshi?

@Timelord2067: I believe the standard P2P port is 9560 and according a quick grep through the sources 9561 is the default rpc port (I have it set to that explicitly in the conf but can't remember why I did that).
Hi and thanks for the information.

What's the RPC and P2P ports? I've found 9561 and 3338 but am unsure which is which? (Nothing in the OP either)
