Speaking of Merit Sources does anyone of you here knows what happened to QuestionAuthority? The last merit he has sent was on August 14 which was more than a month ago. Sorry if I had to bring this up over this topic but I think it is related to what is happening as QuestionAuthority is one of our top 3 merit senders and he suddenly stopped sending merits for some time now and it might have somehow affected your results.

This also shows how merit sources (especially the top ones) are important to the community as they are really the ones who are sending most of the merits to new people and although they are not obligated to flush out all of their new merits it shows here how it affects the whole community as a whole.

The funny thing about this one is you will never know how much one thing is important to you not until you lose it. You will not appreciate what money is doing to you not until you loss considerably. You'll never know how much your hands is useful to you not until you lose just even one hand. This is the hard truth people never see the importance of one thing not until they experience to lose it. This you will see that if something is missing in your life, what you are used to doing is changed because of it.
2683  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: KYC and AML Compliance can help cryptocurrencies to earn legitimacy on: September 13, 2018, 04:44:07 AM
Basically as a consumer I really don't care for Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies to be recognized by our government as long as there is no word of prohibition I will freely use my cryptos in some of my transactions that needs to be paid in crypto. But putting myself in the shoes of producers I know that being recognized by the government as a totally legal way of paying something I will consider that as a green light for me to accept cryptocurrencies as payment in my business, legality is one of the concerns why big businesses are not accepting cryptos as a mode of payment.
2684  Economy / Speculation / Re: What strategy we should take when Bitcoin price fall on: September 12, 2018, 11:08:44 PM
For me I would stick to holding when prices drops. I believe that there is just no point in selling my holdings of I can't earn any profit out of it. I never give in to fear and go panic selling like everyone else does. If I have also the resources I would buy bitcoins during price drops for they are mostly cheap and add them to my holdings.
Well you can always short what you are holding if you think that it will still fall down, by doing so you have the chance of buying what you have been holding for a cheaper price therefore getting more quantity out of it. Another way to earn while the orices are falling down is of course exchanging what you are holding to another cryptocurrency, with this way you are looking for an altcoin where its falling faster than what you are holding. The greater the price dominance of what you are holding to what you will buy the bigger you will get in return.
2685  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Canelo vs. GGG 2 Discussion Thread, WHO YOU GOT? on: September 12, 2018, 05:59:18 PM
If Golovkin will still be able to take the haymakers and power punches of Canelo Alvarez while also giving some solid punches of his own I think GGG will now win this time. The problem I see here is Alvarez' punches might be more powerful this time and GGG's chin might not take it anymore as he almost got knowdown during tge first fight. Gennady Golovkin really needs to win this fight as settling for a tie won't identify who is the best in their division.

Am a Junior member and i have been working very hard that one day am gonna move to the next level (Member) at my 60th activities but instead, even with my 71 activities my rank is yet to change from a Junior member to Member. Please what am i not doing right?
You call what you are doing working hard? Because after seeing just even a glimpse of your post history it seems to me you just have waited to raise your activity by posting worthless piece of crap. Working hard means your posts are either helpful or well thought out before posting it in order to positively contribute to the forum. And other members might have agreed with my opinion towards you because up until now you haven't receive any merits from other members. Try to think before you post something because posting generic crap really isn't enough to be called working hard.
2687  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-09-12] Bitcoin Dominance Eyes 60% as Ethereum Price Flounders on: September 12, 2018, 03:46:59 PM
The price dominance of Bitcoin is giving a wide gap between it and other cryptocurrencies that even if they are all falling down in the market it is pretty tempting to exchange your BTC to the likes of Ethereum or even XRP. The price margin being bigger is ideal for people who have not shifted their money to Fiat and is still currently holding a falling asset like BTC because you will still get more cryptocurrencies in return as the price dominance of BTC is bigger compared to other cryptocurrencies such as ETH which is falling down at a much faster rate.
2688  Other / Meta / Re: Some topic should sticked. Moderators please check & consider if possible. on: September 11, 2018, 09:20:01 PM
Since there's too many stickies already I think it is better to create One thread where all the topics you mentioned are there. First, short explanation about [Guide] Reporting effectively and then the link of the thread so they can open these thread located in a single thread same as second thread with short explanation with thread link and the third with link. Here's an example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4544266.0.
This won't be as effective as pinning the topic itself on top of the board as threads like this one often becomes long and the topics combined are not always related to each other. And can you imagine putting up a title "Important threads and their links" as a topic title"? Could you imagine a newbie member reading that topic? Because from what I know newbie members are already ignoring pinned topics what more if this topic gets lost on the 2nd or 3rd page?
2689  Economy / Gambling / Re: BitPot.io the first Bitcoin live jackpot ! FREE FAUCET on: September 10, 2018, 04:53:26 PM
You are not the first gambling site that offers this kind of genre from what I see and read your game is pretty similar to freebitco.in where they have lottery rounds which you need to buy a ticket in order to participate, the only difference is they have a lot of winners for the prize pot and their lottery round last for days before the draw. Although I forgot their exact web addresses there are a lot of other gambling sites that offer this kind of game and they are pretty similar to one another.
2690  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Considering about to collect tax about crypto currency on: September 10, 2018, 12:13:40 PM
I think setting an international standard is good but the problem I see here is most of the countries have their own version of the taxing system in their country and an international standard will create a lot of concflicts with their local taxing system.

The most logical way is for international exchanges to cooperate locally on countries they have customers by providing trading transaction records set by the customer. This would be enough transparency for them to have a correct audit when needed. This is being done right now by Coinbase as a help for the US government to identify their citizens who are not paying the right taxes.
2691  Economy / Economics / Re: Which form of investment has highest ROI? on: September 09, 2018, 05:12:17 PM
My opinion is that real estate can be that one,since my grandfather used to be like buying and selling the lands and made tons of money in his life time but I didn't do that such kind of traditional invetment.
It is safe to say that if you are buying real estate you won't get anything less than how much you bought it for assuming that you bought it near its market value during that time. The only problem with real estate investment is not everyone can afford it and not everyone can be qualified for a loan to be used in real estate investment. So the next best thing you can do is try and risk your money in the stock market it will be slow on most bluechip companies but if you are willing to risk more believing in a growing company is worth the risk.
2692  Other / Meta / Re: @theymos, we want those sections back to us, new moderators? on: September 09, 2018, 03:10:12 PM
I think we should also take into consideration of adding another mod in the Trading Discussion section. Because a considerable amount of members here are creating threads not related to the section itself. They often post here topics related to Trading in terms of Buying and Selling cryptocurrencies not trading in the sense of what this section is meant for. Also the topics of trading (buying and selling cryptos, investing in cryptos) already have a childboard under Economy which is the Speculation section.
2693  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BITCOIN NOT SO ANONYMOUS! on: September 08, 2018, 11:50:39 PM
As a Bitcoin user I think that this should be common knowledge for us now. BTC is not as anonymous as we think as our transactions are leaving a footprint online as well as our BTC addresses can be link to our names. Even the government authorities of US openly admited that BTC is not being use in criminal activities as often as before because they know how it could easily be tracked and the criminals are now using other cryptocurrencies known for its anonymity.
2694  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-09-06] ‘A Huge Step Forward’: Bahrain Minister Hails Blockchain Technology on: September 06, 2018, 07:23:14 PM
Personally I don't see a good or bad news about this one because he is a speaker in a Blockchain related conference, you are not expected to talk trash when you are a guest speaker. He is also a Minister of Electricity and Water Affairs which I don't see any connection on how he can support Blockchain technology in his country when he has no direct authority to do so. To be frank the conference's organizers might just even invited the minister because he is a political figure and events like this one can be more moving if the speech is being delivered by a person with a position in the government, he is also not known as a supporter of blockchain technology which really tells a lot.
2695  Economy / Gambling / Re: CryptoBlink.com ★ Micro Lotteries ★ Promos ★ Player Referral Program on: September 06, 2018, 06:26:16 PM
Honestly, I think the best for you would be to take the website offline now.
So you work on your website, make it social, community-friendly, and only then when it's all done, make a big party and relaunch it. Cheesy

There is too much to fix "on the go" and people won't notice small changes. Better deliver something finished and polished. Smiley
The suggestions you have given will be nice additions to the gambling site but I don't think that it is necessary to shutdown the website temporarily, as it is possible that they update the website while maintaining operations with just one maintenance update just like what other gambling websites are doing. This is also a better way as even shutting down temporarily will provide discomfort to players. Their website being re-designed is really a must as the only thing I see missing is an attractive website and a well designed ANN thread here in BCT.
2696  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Faucets profitable? on: September 06, 2018, 05:42:25 PM
Your profitability in your faucets will depend on a lot of factors and you need to have the right mix in order for you to avoid flushing your own money down, and some faucets who have amassed loyal users actually got lucky as they are still profiting up to now. These are some factors you need to take into consideration in order to know if you will profit or not from your faucet:

  • Traffic
  • Bitcoin Ad Network (A-Ads, Mellow Ads)
  • Type of Ads you are showing (CPC, CPM)
  • How many banners you have
  • Faucet Payout
  • Payout Threshold
  • Referral Commission

Besides what I have mentioned I know there is still a lot of things you need to put into consideration, but I think this are the most important things you need to focus on. Some faucets don't really last long as they can't keep up to the payments they are giving to their customers as they are overwhelmed with the referral commission they have set and their payouts from the ad network is too low compared to what their members are being awarded. Some actually really start a big capital and sacrifice early losses in order to build up their reputation as one the best faucets still existing.
2697  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Buy for another person on: September 06, 2018, 01:58:38 PM
Never ever do sketchy personal favors which is not covered by your work as an employee who knows you might be involved in a much deeper situation you don't know about, your boss (if he is really your boss) is obviously avoiding KYC as well as AML that is why the transaction is done with the help from you. I cannot provide anymore help as I really don't know how the law system in California as well as UK works but what I do know is you can respectfully decline the favor/task your boss is asking from you as buying him BTC in localbitcoins is definitely not part of your job as an employee and there is nothing he can do about it.

Another thing that concerns me is you still don't know if he is really your boss, he might be impersonating someone else (which is common) in order for you to be convinced on doing some favors for him. Try to confirm if this man is really your boss as its hard to be connected to someone you really don't know.
2698  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Problem with Ledger Nano S Manager is I need 64 bit pc to download it. on: September 06, 2018, 12:27:02 PM
btw this pc ,under windows " about"  it says its 32bit X 64 bit processor. Some said I could partition it and use it as 64 bit.
Has anyone heard of that ?
Just to clarify... does it say "32-bit operating system, x64-based processor"?

If so, then you have a 64bit capable CPU, but have 32bit windows installed. Your options are:

1. Backup your important date, wipe the computer and install a 64bit operating system (Windows or Linux)
or
2. Partition some spare space on the hard drive (you'll want at least 100 gigs) and then install a 64 bit operating system (Windows or Linux) on the new partition and dual boot the PC
Bitmover has the best solution as ledger nano s is also compatible with Electrum (Click the link to see the tutorial). Upgrading your Windows PC to its 64 bit version is a good long term solution but for the purposes of installing one program I don't think it is worth the time and effort for you to do so if you have a more easy alternative. Plus the problem here about installing a 64 bit version of Window in your "Ancient PC" is it still has hardware requirements you need to satisfy, one of it is you need to have at least 2 GB worth of RAM in your pc.
2699  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin can decrease economic development on: September 06, 2018, 09:35:37 AM
You are basically saying that farmers should stay as farmers and fishermen should stay as fishermen. Which means you don't want them to move up in this world, but I never see how people who came from the bottom and had an imrprovement of lifestyle can disrupt the whole economy of the country, simply because we know that one way or another someone will replace them to satisfy the demand that was left out by them. Additionally governments have projects and laws to cover with that kind of changes and they won't let their economy down because one if their farmers have move up into their ranks.

Good thing that you are providing promos constantly in your website but I do think you still need to focus on improving your website's design as it is really not appealing to some people including me. If I would give a fair comment to your website, it looks similar to poorly designed hyip sites I come across once in a while. If you don't want other visitors to have the same impression as I have try to make your website look more better to make it look more trustworthy in their eyes.
