Are you still going to keep DT1-strength.txt updated in the future?
Yes. It gets weekly updates.

Personally that data is a lot easier to deal with as is only around 250 rows, whereas the other being 1000+ is a bit exhausting for myself + laptop.
I know the feeling, spreadsheets aren't very cooperative when creating graphs out of large tables.

If you want an update for the full DT-data in the future, just post. I don't do automated updates for the full DT-data because it takes hours to process the millions of individual HTML files. It works, but the way I store the data wasn't designed for this.

The feedback left for you is because there are some good reasons for me to believe that you conducted my clients personally and suggested not to hire my service because I have negative feedback. Which was totally immoral and unexpected. You were not able to prove it that you did not do that.
I can't prove I didn't do it. See my point? You can't disprove a negative.

After all considering, I gave you a benefit of doubt
That was long overdue, but it's a good start. Now let it go.

efialtis    2022-06-22    Reference    Promoting and even being part of a shady crypto casino. Poor management, poor excuses with various withdrawal requests not having ever been executed for weeks.
This was all true. I think I've said it before: You fucked up! But, I also hope you've learned from it: be less trusting and more careful. And there's this:
All that being said, I still discourage retaliatory ratings, and with these changes I encourage people to try to "bury the hatchet" and de-escalate rather than trying to use any increased retaliatory power you now have. Also, it's best to make your own custom list, and you must do this if you want to be on DT1.
@JollyGood: I think you should consider theymos' quote too.

- Leave negative ratings if you actively think that trading with the person is less safe than with a random person.
Let's not stir around it: you're talking about JollyGood. I took a random number between 3 and 3.5 million: 3302703. You can't honestly believe trading with JollyGood is less safe than trading with m.wizinger!

Anyway, OP, you better take these trust things patiently and not get too emotionally involved. I'm telling you from experience.

There is a Thick-Skinned Gang Leader on the forum that we should all learn from in this regard, me included.
This is what I told OP:
My advice: stay out of the forum drama.
He's doing the opposite.

Dishonest = not trustworthy.
Everybody lies, it's part of social behaviour. That doesn't necessarily make someone untrustworthy.

Like LoyceV said in the other thread, no one can stop you from leaving any kind of trust you want, but in doing so you can't expect other people to agree with your interpretation of appropriate use of the trust system.
Let me put it this way: if OP reaches DT2 and still abuses the Trust system by then, I'll exclude him.
2784  Other / Meta / Re: censoring foul words. on: September 07, 2023, 07:46:14 AM
According to loyceV "If you can be offended by someone online, it means you're doing something wrong" .
I'm afraid I have to disagree!
People might have a different point of view or argument on a matter. You will find another group of people who do not respect your opinion and then start insulting you. The problem is, when you get bullied because of your opinion, you want to say something back, and it ends with exchanging some hit words, and then sometimes it goes to the extreme level when one person calls another a pedophile. For this reason, I believe you can get offended without even doing anything wrong.
You're missing the point: if you choose to give someone the power to hurt you through your screen, you're doing something wrong. If someone calls me a pedophile, he's an idiot. It's that simple.
2785  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin mempool reaches 600K transactions on: September 06, 2023, 06:25:42 PM
is it possible that if the blocks are not confirmed, then the halving will be delayed?
Yes. There is no halving without 840000 blocks. But that has nothing to do with mempool, nor with transaction fees.

I'm just asking, so please think before bashing me.
You deserve some bashing Tongue You've been here for years, you should know the difference between blocks and transactions by now.

Look what I found: Advanced Profanity Filter, available for different browsers. Of course, use at your own risk: this add-on will get access to everything you have in your browser, but hey, if that helps protect your feelings, good for you Tongue

I'd like to see the opposite: turn all the "carefully selected words" back into their true meaning. It should be called "The TMAN Filter" Cheesy
2788  Other / Meta / Re: censoring foul words. on: September 06, 2023, 03:19:14 PM
How about if the admin filter some keywords(foul words), such that when you use them, you will be handed ban.
It's always amazing how people volunteer to give up the freedoms they've been given. It's truely scary, not only online but also in real life.
Bitcointalk is the only forum I know that allows freedom of speech. If you don't like it, go to SJW forum.

What the f*ck, do you think censoring *BEEP* is going to make the forum any better? I miss TMAN, go read Poetry, by TMAN.

If I'm offended by someone online, it means I am doing something wrong by being offended by someone or I did something wrong to attract an attack on me?
If you choose to be offended by something an anonymous person says on the big mean internet, you're doing something wrong. Why would you choose to give someone such power over you?

What is your understanding of freedom of speech? Do you know that there is an unofficial rule that says "No trolling?". If freedom of speech is what you think it is, why will such a rule apply?
Calling an idiot an idiot is not trolling. A bit more context:
However, trolling isn't allowed. If a user is habitually posting obviously false nonsense ("obviously false nonsense" to an outsider, NOT to someone who follows or is involved in the discussion) just to stir up trouble, then it's considered trolling, which is prohibited. Such cases should be thoroughly documented in the report though (There are tons of reports that just say "trolling", but moderators don't have time to look through each user's post).



To quote myself on the subject:
Just recently, I saw several posts saying: "I hope I'm not offending anyone", and it's been on my mind for a while now.

I only recently realized why this is so common in English. In Dutch, "offended" and "insulted" are the same word ("beledigd"). But lately, it seems like people treat the word "offending" as if it's "insulting".
I'd say insulting isn't needed and makes you look bad, but being offended is a choice of the receiver, and honestly I'm offended by people who want to limit their own freedom of speech out of fear that someone might get his feelings hurt on the internet! Oh noes!

It's okay to offended people! Offensive jokes are often funny. Don't let SJW decide what you're allowed to say or even think!

Trying to be nice doesn't hurt you, but don't let someone's made up feelings stop you from speaking your mind.
I can't agree with you. You can also gently criticize a person. To insult is only to insult, nothing more. And it is not right to talk about freedom of expression while insulting a person.
I am insulted by the very fact that you think you can have freedom of speech without being allowed to insult someone. So by your own definition you're not allowed to say that!
Luckily for you, you actually have the right to say pretty much anything you want on this forum. And as a Thick-Skinned Gang Leader, I can handle anything you throw at me.

Quote
For example, I insulted you and you did it to me. What's the matter here? What did the forum gain from this? When viewed from the outside, the forum is seen as a place where racism, neopotism and swearing are falling.
It's the internet, I couldn't care less about your race. You can claim to be a Smurf if you want too. It can't be checked anyway, so why do you even care?
I think I'm usually pretty friendly, and I usually don't try very hard to insult people. But I can understand why others do that, and I highly value their right to do so. If someone, especially in an anonymous environment, treats others badly, it tells you a lot about them. But how you handle it says a lot about you.

Quote
Don't you really see these kinds of statements make the forum look bad?
No. It's what makes this forum great and unique! If you don't like it, you may want to go to a heavily censored SJW forum where your fragile feelings are protected. Bitcoin is about freedom, and you can't have freedom to say what you want without other people having the same freedom to say what they want. Grow a thicker skin or choose to have a fragile ego hurt.
I'm pretty sure there are already texts that you don't like embedded in the Bitcoin blockchain. It's okay. You don't have to read it. Why would you even bother to read things on a website if it insults you?



How about if the admin filter some keywords(foul words), such that when you use them, you will be handed ban. Such as 7days ban, few days signature ban, read only mode etc. This will promote peaceful co-existence and curtail to the barest minimum any form of bullying, unfriendliness, acrimony or as the case may be.
I'm offended by your suggestion. Now you deserve a 7 day ban Tongue



You should spend 2.5 minutes to listen to this guy: the only proper response to someone who says: "I'm offended!" is: "I don't care!".
2789  Other / Meta / Re: DefaultTrust changes on: September 06, 2023, 10:20:43 AM
For pretext of what I will say following; I know that the use of the trust system seems to be something widely agreed on, however I am someone who looks at things as they are, excluding the politics and general consensus, and making my own judgements
That's okay. It's how the Trust system is designed. But it will also mean your feedback won't show up by default.
So it's really up to you: do you want your feedback to mean something to the majority of users, or do you want to use your own interpretation of the Trust system?
2790  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: List of VPN Service Providers - 2023 on: September 06, 2023, 09:59:38 AM
Personally, I would use Tor over VPN, i.e. would run Qubes OS with tails and route Tails traffic through VPN. Safe VPNs to my mind are Mullvad and probably IVPN too.
Short version:
Generally speaking, we don't recommend using a VPN with Tor unless you're an advanced user who knows how to configure both in a way that doesn't compromise your privacy.

Longer version: see TorPlusVPN.
2791  Economy / Reputation / Re: LoyceV's notification bot (7 days retroactive) on: September 06, 2023, 08:26:51 AM
Strange because I use your bot frequently and for sure i have used it in last week, so after it was switched to CloudFront and always worked fine, just to let you know, maybe it will help

I am also using Free VPN Proton maybe this is causing the problem, also started to use it recently because my yearly subscription on ExperessVPN ended, sometimes I have problems to open some web pages
I looked at AWS' troubleshooting, and it may be I blocked some of CloudFront's own IP addresses. Can you try again if notifications are still inaccessible?
I blocked IP addresses to stop agressive scrapers. It may have caused some unwanted side effects.
2792  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin mempool reaches 600K transactions on: September 06, 2023, 07:06:08 AM
EG most spammers respend within an hour so THEY should be charged 12x more then someone who waits 12 hours. where everyone else just pays a lesser rate
It's trivially easy for a spammer to wait 12 hours, or to create multiple inputs in one transaction and then wait 12 hours for many cheaper transactions. It won't solve the problem.

4. Congestion caused by "sophisticated" spam attacks
This is the newest form of attack and the worst type since the solution is not yet agreed upon. Specially since there are still people who don't want to admit this is a problem.
The latest example is with the codename Ordinals. In this type of attack they create an incentive for the regular users to spam the network themselves, in this case by exploiting the protocol. This is more harmful and harder to fix because for example to prevent the Ordinals attack there needs to be changes in the protocol which nobody seems to be interested in!
The worst kind of spam is the kind that's profitable. They have no reason to stop.

Problem is it takes several hours to run before showing me the error message.
Have you created a (backup) image of the drive yet? It's old, and you don't want it to fail during those runs.
2794  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin mempool reaches 600K transactions on: September 06, 2023, 05:50:21 AM
simple solution..
its very easy for a node to check which block the UTXO is being spend from. to know the age of the coin being spent. so ifs its a young age (under 12 hours old) then economic nodes and pool nodes can just avoid relaying or adding such tx to a block unless they pay a premium
That would mean someone can't use the Bitcoin he just received as his salary to buy something, it's like forcing people to HODL for a while.

Quote
code creates rules. and bitcoin relies on code and rules. so the solution is code and rules
Currently, miners can even include zero fee transactions. It's going to be a huge complication if consensus rules include checking how old an input was to see if the miner was allowed to include it.

The real solution is for people to stop paying for BS scam tokens made up by someone to get richer, but there's always a new fool who hasn't learned the hard way yet.

Still trying to get a graph for most inclusions / exclusions but having issues for some reason, unless there's already been a list made?
You mean this one? I can get you an update if needed.
Oh yeh, that. Had forgot about that. An update would be useful though cheers, that's the data I should logically be using for overall DT inclusion/exclusion.
It's updated (reading millions of data files took hours. I'm looking forward to your graphs Smiley
2796  Other / Meta / Re: DT1-strength of 211 users in 113 weeks (weekly updates) on: September 05, 2023, 05:49:33 PM
Updated data file (up until last Saturday's Trust data dump):
See: loyce.club/trust/DT-strength.txt. I named it "DT-strength", because it includes both DT1 and DT2.
It should now include all these requirements:
So, to summarize:
  • All users who have ever (since week 6, that is) been on DT1 or DT2
  • No users who have never reached a positive inclusion (or just 0, when the number of inclusions and exclusions are equal)
  • Those users can reach negative strength too (at DT1 or DT2 level)
2797  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin mempool reaches 600K transactions on: September 05, 2023, 04:34:25 PM
It is due to the Bitcoin Ordinals and most of these transactions are dust transactions, I would approach and If any Bitcoin Core Developer is here, please try to prioritize less for these Dust transactions as they are blocking the way for other people who really want to use Bitcoin Network for something important, like paying for something with Bitcoin etc. These Ordinals guys need to go somewhere else, BTC Network isn't made for these things.
I don't think Bitcoin developers can do anything about this, miners will go for maximum profit. I miss the days those scam tokens were all on shitcoin chains such as centrally controlled and premined Ethereum. Weirdly though, I think Ethereum profited big time from the "popularity" it gained from hyping the scam tokens. That really gave it it's name. Bitcoin on the other hand already made a name for itself, so I don't expect anything good to come from this.

2800  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I recovered a bitcoin wallet from 2013, why didn't I find the corresponding bit on: September 05, 2023, 01:46:33 PM
First: move (bottom-left) this topic to the altcoin boards.

Then: I assume you used a Bitcoin wallet to recover your funds. A Bitcoin wallet doesn't support Forkcoins, you're going to need to use the respective Forkcoin wallets. I wrote a topic about this years ago. The prices in that topic are outdated, but the warnings are still valid. Move your Bitcoins to a safe new wallet before doing anything Forkcoin related, and learn what the lack of replay protection means before doing anything else.
