I would very much like to grow in the forum and raise my level to Member etc...
When I look at your profile it seems like you want only to rank up to member for posting more and more bounty reports.

Just finding it a bit unpleasant with the merit system, do I have to look for posts where people have many merit just to get noticed?
Reading the Merited post are ok, but I don't think you want to be noticed for getting Merits. Don't bother about being noticed just read before posting and try to be helpful for other forum members.

Quote
Doesnt seem right... I post and discuss what I know about or interested to know about without having to fake my way but it looks like Merit wont rain on people who do that?..
Don't fake your way and always try to be yourself and post what you think which will helps for the other members while gaining knowledge for yourself.

Quote
Would like an opinion or two, cheers!
Best openion is read before posting and try to use search function as much as possible. Another thing try to avoid those underworld Bounties at least few months.

I hope following threads will helps you. Smiley

You should add "Arbitrage trading". If you are interested, i've made arbitrage monitoring panel, where you can recive trading signals and then trade between exchanges. Here is the link: https://blockchainmuffin.com/arbitrage
Thanks mate I will looking into that and update my thread.

 I am putting those articles in my bookmarks because this is definitely worth of merit. I'm wondering why I am not that damn good learner as you are Sad
Thanks for your pleasant complement and for the underlying part, what do you waiting for Wink (just kidding)
285  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto Trading Strategies for Beginners... on: July 23, 2018, 03:15:27 PM
this was a decent topic apart from the following part which you even start the whole thing with:

Quote
Most straight forward and easiest strategy is HODL. That means buy some coins and don't touch them, forget about them few years. Hopefully if everything goes right, it will be worth pretty penny once you revisit them after waiting for a long time. In that way you don't have to worry about any crashes, don't have to worry about going to the moon, keep on "HODLing".
everything about this is just wrong!
"forget about them for a few years"? depending on what coin you have this can be the worst decision of your entire life. for example these days a lot of people are bag holding ethereum but they forget that it has unlimited supply. in a few years when you come back instead of 100 million ETH, there will be 1 billion ETH in  circulation and that has already killed the price.
Thanks for your valuble information and I will update my thread. But I want to know are they going to move POW to POS through Casper protocol ? Rumors are there but don't know the exact dates. If so don't you think they are going to capped the supply of ETH?

Quote
"Hopefully if everything goes right"? that just shows he investor has no  clue what he is doing. when you invest you shouldn't 'hope" you should analyze and make an educated decision.
Agreed Wink
286  Other / Meta / Re: merit system question on: July 23, 2018, 02:51:01 PM
This is a total off-topic answer and also you are spreading a false rumour.
Theymos just made an exception in an exceptional case, so do not begin to spread false rumours, this is not a gossip TV program.

Sorry for my mistake and I am hoping those rumors will become true Wink
287  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Abortion is a God Given Right of Females like the right to bear Arms on: July 23, 2018, 09:22:08 AM
One last question to clear my clouds is what will be happened if husband and wife getting agreed for making a baby and wife got pregnant, then suddenly wife changes her mind for an abortion, but the father still wants that baby where they agreed on the first place. So bodily autonomy of a woman exceeds the fathers will? (I'm not talking about the unplanned pregnancy scenarios). "Bodily autonomy" can we take as a right?
288  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Abortion is a God Given Right of Females like the right to bear Arms on: July 23, 2018, 07:42:33 AM
- Do you believe since the world is overpopulated, women should give the licence to abortion?

Women should have access to safe, legal abortion, regardless of world population.
That's what I thought too, we didn't want to drag the "world population" problem into "abortion". Those two problems should be addressed separately. Can I know your honest opinion as a doctor, Is it required to safe access for abortion without considering the root cause of pregnancy or other reasonable exceptions?

Quote
- Do you believe humans have "unnatural reproduction behaviour" and is that the ultimate reason for the world destruction? So, is that final answer "abortion?"

World population is growing exponentially, so yes, one might call that "unnatural", and it is certainly putting a strain on worldwide resources. The answer is better sex education, better methods of contraception, better access to contraception, and removal of religious influences from these areas.
Agreed. Those are the steps what we should be adopted rather going for the easy options. That might be not easy, but at the end of the day, it is the right thing to do.

Quote
I'd love to see a world with very few abortions, but until we can get there by doing all the things I just mentioned, I won't be trying to remove half the population's bodily autonomy and basic rights.
I have doubts whether the fetus also has the same autonomy(my belief is women has the greater bodily autonomy than a fetus) and if not, what extent that the fetus has similar rights?



I'm more than happy to know what is the NadiaHel's answer for my previous two questions since I already answered hers.
289  Other / Meta / Re: merit system question on: July 23, 2018, 05:00:53 AM
There is so many answer all over the forum about your question. Actually merit system was implement to prevent spam from the forum. So on spammy post no one will send you merit. Thoes are send that's called merit abuser.
While we will not be directly moderating this, I encourage people to give merit to posts that are objectively high-quality, not just posts that you agree with.
Now it has been changed mate, "theymos' has been done one reversal of Merit abuse since it was identified as a clear-cut case. So watch out Merit abusers. Go and hide somewhere Cheesy

The typical way of easy-debating: you choose those words of the other one that just fix with your own argument, even if it is decontextualized, and then you build your own nonsense-speech.
How can I know some part of your arguments are decontextualized. Then it is better to avoid those words in the first place without wasting other person's time.

Quote
You forget I`ve also wrote that:

Besides, it is your point, it is how you see to become a father -you can`t imagine what a mother is. And I respect that. I love when the people around me have children. But then, why I can`t be respected if I don`t want one? Why is your opinion more important than mine?

Then you completely forgot what I've posted:


Who says that you're not respected, I'm not the one who spelled it. I don't say my openion is more important than yours, but I just only want to say don't generalize the your problem with others whose actually wanting babies not murders.

Quote
Besides, you can`t even answer the central question:

So, in conclusion, and with the aim of returning to the original question: do you agree with women being forced to carry and give birth to an undesired son?
No, I'm not. However, that undesired part must be clearly defined. I already told that there are some exceptions where we should be allowed "abortion", but not like an excuse for just being simply irresponsible and carelessness.

Quote
I don`t think that most of the women should stop having children. I just think that women should have the right to decide for themselves.
And ... jajaja, no, I am not  a man!!
yeah, I know that you are not a man. I'm answering for o_e_l_e_o which I believed man by highlighting two quotes of yours. Cheesy

I have answered yours. So now can you answers mine?

- Do you believe since the world is overpopulated, women should give the licence to abortion?
- Do you believe humans have "unnatural reproduction behaviour" and is that the ultimate reason for the world destruction? So, is that final answer "abortion?"


P.S. - How do you even know the undesired fetus is a son? We need around 20 weeks to decide babies gender.
292  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Abortion is a God Given Right of Females like the right to bear Arms on: July 22, 2018, 10:46:46 PM
I think you're not seeing the whole picture of pregnancy. How about picturing your first kick of child, first baby shower, how you're going to play with your child, how he/she will be growing up with time...instead of being pessimistic all the time. Even though I'm a man, I know how it's being pregnant.

This is one of the most ridiculously condescending things I've ever read. A man explaining to a woman he has never met and does not know, and having no idea whether she has ever been pregnant, what it's like to be pregnant.

I`ve been always questioned about why I don`t want to get pregnant.

I have never had the will of being pregnant, I don`t want to be a biological mother, but, again, everybody seems to have an opinion and they just can`t shut up, they feel aways entitled to advice me about how "beautiful" is to become a mother.
The way she is expressing her ideas it's obvious man. Oh no now she confirmed too. You're saying that father's are  not capable of explaining about pregnancy to a another women who actually didn't want to get pregnant at all,even though that father's are gone through with their wives pregnancy period together.

Of course, they see a starving child and see to the other side, or, as much, they give a "like" in Facebook to a movement against childhood hunger, at the same time they give a "like" to all the anti-abortion platforms.
I'm not a total "anti-abortion" member.

Why you think you can lecture her about what she can and cannot do with her life is beyond me.
I'm not lecturing her about what she can do and cannot do, she can do whatever she want. I just want to share my view regarding her thoughts about "abortion" thing only. If you read carefully about her posts that you will noticed how many times she has explained followings.

-This is my body and I can do whatever I want( I didn't questioning about her decisions but her attitude towards mothering)
- This world is over populated( do you think abortion is the answer?)

I have fully respect about her decision that not wanting to become mother, but not the reasons that she gaves to justify that her decision while generalizing her decisions with other women's who actually loves mothering. Don't you see she is seeing most of the women's should not get pregnant since world is over populated.

Religious attitudes, like should have more babies even though you cannot feed them is another problem that we shouldn't get mixed with abortion thing. It must be addressed separately by their own religious teaching. In fact I'm with her in that argument of people should not giving birth to many children if they cannot feed them.
293  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Abortion is a God Given Right of Females like the right to bear Arms on: July 22, 2018, 05:27:44 PM
Yeah, sure, because you can`t be fired because getting pregnant, because your life is not in danger, because you want to be a father -which I respect.
No, we want to become parents and giving birth to our child.

Quote
But, I don`t want to be a mother,
That's up to you and you only. So don't generalize the problem of that you don't want to become a mother with others.

Quote
and I don`t think anyone must have the ability to force me to become one.
Of course not, I don't think you're ready to take responsibilities of a mother.

Quote
Can you feel this first kick? I don`t think so, man.
Absolutely yes I missed the first kick but not the second one Wink

Quote
Oh, no dear, in fact, a fetus is just a "something" because it has not yet any nerve system, no feelings, no thoughts.
How you so sure about that fetus doesn't has any feeling or no thoughts? Are those facts taken from ever  changing science researchs? Are those research are giving us the absolute truth regarding fetus? Sometimes people choose to classify babies with beating heart as "fetus" to make people feel better about abortion. But murder is always a murder wether science proved or not that baby cannot feeled it when abortion take place.

Quote
, this is just another animal with unnatural reproduction behaviours, and it is actually destroying the planet
Do you think abortion is the answer for that "unnatural production behaviors?" Can you tell me what you taken as natural reproduction behavior and where you draw the line of unnatural?

Quote
So, no. I can`t see why I must be obliged to carry a child if any accident happens to me.
No you shouldn't, that's why I earlier said that there can be few exceptions where we actually want to consider about abortion.

Quote
Besides, it is your point, it is how you see to become a father -you can`t imagine what a mother is.
Yes I can and I lived with that feeling(being a father) by sharing thoughts with my wife(how she feels after becoming a mother). Do you?

Quote
. But then, why I can`t be respected if I don`t want one? Why is your oppinion more important than mine?
Who says that you're not respected, I'm not the one who spelled it. I don't say my openion is more important than yours, but I just only want to say don't generalize the your problem with others whose actually wanting babies not murders.

Quote
By the way, I`m sure my parents will be the first in being agree if I decided to abort. So, then, I am right?
No you are not, I just give you an example what will happen if everyone beginning to think like you.

Quote
What a nonsense you wrote, dear. Nonsense.
It is subjective dear, can we leave it to decide other members who read these posts. Wink

Quote
I love children.
I doubted.

Quote
, a poor family is allowed -and encouraged by their religion- to have as many children as they want, even if they don`t have any food to carry to their mouths. How can it be fair?
That's an another problem relates to only one religion actually. I think you know what I mean. I'm not fan of that thing too.

Quote
However, I am a woman. You don`t get pregnant. You don`t have a single clue of what pregnancy means to a woman`s body, to a woman`s life.
Do you???
294  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Abortion is a God Given Right of Females like the right to bear Arms on: July 22, 2018, 03:00:36 PM
Men in the thread: try to picture for a second what to be pregnant means: to feel sick, to grow something inside of you, to feel depressed, tyred...
I think you're not seeing the whole picture of pregnancy. How about picturing your first kick of child, first baby shower, how you're going to play with your child, how he/she will be growing up with time...instead of being pessimistic all the time. Even though I'm a man, I know how it's being pregnant. Because I don't believed that women's are the only one who gets pregnant. Because when I know about my wife's being pregnant, the feeling I had at that moment will never can be erased throughout my life. It's like something that I cannot express by words. So I didn't thought any seconds that she got pregnant instead what I thought and what I told is we got pregnant and we can go this pregnancy period with together.

Quote
I don`t believe in God, I can`t see a child as a god's gift, but as a circumstance and as something having a place inside my own body.
I also didn't believed child as a God's gift and didn't like the way you called a unborn child( actually human being) as "something". That word is not having any love at all, it's like a physical thing that didn't have life. But actually is it? No way. It's the beginning of life.

Quote
Really, guys,  do you really want a creature growing up inside your own body? Changing your life fo-re-ver? Because having a baby is not only to deliver the new creature into an overpopulated world -by the way. Is the task of taking care forever for another person.
Don't even think about that way. Can I know how you interpret "life"? What do you mean by "changing your life fo-re-ver?" Is that mean the happiness, joy that brings up with babies or changing your body shape, changing your lifestyle. Giving a birth to a child and rising up that child is not a task but a most responsible job in the entire world. That job you didn't get paid, didn't even have any leaves. But you have the utter satisfaction at the end of the day. I didn't mean that is only duty of women's but the men's too. Trust me now I'm feeling that satisfaction by being a father.

Just imagine what happened if your mother thought the same way that you're thinking, when they knowing about their pregnancy.

Quote
give me the chance to decide what to do with my own body at least.
It's not your own body, thats the end product, years of sacrifices of your parents. As far my believes "abortion" is not a thing we must rejected, but we need to think about twice before we adopt it. Sometimes when we consider about situations like getting raped , illness of the mother which inability of taking care about her child, when mother's life in danger if she delivered, can consider about abortion. But in other scenarios I don't think it is a good thing to practise. Then it will automatically become a thrend which is not good for the developing society too.

They might not have necessarily been deleted by a moderator. If the user deletes their posts then it will also say this.
I doubted that scenario in these highlighted cases (I don't think anyone would be deleted their posts tagged with merits Tongue)

Quote
I think if a post is removed either by staff or the user themselves then the merit should be removed also as it can be used to hide abuse.
Those posts were merited before 20th of July 2018. So users normally didn't try to remove those posts since Merit abuse isn't moderated by the forum. But not now, go and hide somewhere dear merit abusers,
"theymos" has started to take actions regarding Merit abuse cases. (but not mere abuse scenarios)

Link>>>https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4708873.msg42558257#msg42558257

Quote
I have seen QuestionAuthority (amongst others) merit posts that have in fact been copy and pastes before. It would be quite easy to copy someone else's very informative or helpful post or article from elsewhere then just delete it once if has been merited and get rid of the possibility of the abuse being uncovered at some point.
Merit sources also not the machines but normal human beings, their judgments sometimes can be wrong(since plagiarism is all over the forum and hard to identify). But since so much of Merits have been wasted, Merit sources also better to think twice before meriting so much of Mertis. I think "theymos" should give authority to do the reversals of Merit transactions where source identifies a clear violation of forum rules even after he/she merited.
296  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Understanding about Hash functions on: July 21, 2018, 09:52:18 AM
I do not have source but I remember to read that it is very rare scenarios but it is possible that 2 different input can have same hash.
When we compare to the SHA-2 series of hash functions(SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA 512) has strong collision resistance. so it is hard to find two inputs having the same hash. I think you're talking about MD5 hash function which is vulnerable for collision attacks and also a hacker can produce two colliding hashes in no time with higher CPU power, but not with the SHA-2 series.

With SHA-256 function, almost all the time we cannot get Hash(A)=Hash(B) if A≠B


<...snip...>

I have created a thread regarding Hash function which I believed helpful for you Smiley. This Hash calculator is a very good one for reference with different hash functions.
297  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Environment on: July 21, 2018, 07:32:17 AM
First, we have to look at what mining involves," adding value by dedicated computational resources to verify transactions in a public ledger called a 'Blockchain',". For those dedicated computational resources are normally called an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) hardware. Those ASICs consume lots of energy when mining cryptocurrencies. Studies show that total annual energy output of all the dedicated mining machines worldwide at 35 terawatt hours which is approximately equal to the level of energy consumption in Denmark. Normally bitcoin transaction consumes around 100KWh where credit card transaction 0.2KWh. The problem is the fact that a large proportion of the electricity used is generated via fossil fuel burning. Actually, most of the large-scale miners are from China where more than 60% of electricity produced by coal(world largest coal consumer). Coal is the major contributor to the man-made climate change(Anthropogenic effect). This is the process of how the mining of cryptocurrency relates to the environment.

So what can we do? I think there are two options. One is to develop and optimize mining equipment and the other one is to move towards the renewable energy progressively.

No, you should probably not interpret it as that. This was reversed because theymos was able to verify that the account was compromised.
Okey my mistake. But I think theymos will spell it out sooner than we think Wink isn't that great if it happens?

I suspect those merits have been sold, we have a new kind of merit-trading-hacking activity around here.
I remembered a poem of "Emily Dickinson" which I learned for literature at school and I made few changes for that (just for fun).

"I'm Merit abuser! Who are you?
Are you - Merit abuser too -?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! They'd ban us - you know!
"

Actually they don't Cheesy

Merit abuse isn't moderated by the forum.
