I don't know why, but the first time Twitter gave me an error. Twitter is being weird That's because all those Tweets that Jemzx00 shared as proof have been deleted, while I managed to find few that haven't. What I don't know though is whether kudosinitchi was covering his tracks or tweets were deleted by Twitter as it looks like classic bounty spam but in the end that doesn't really matter.

I personally did not understand what you wanted to say with your post. Two different Twitter accounts, and the @kud0sinitchi account doesn't exist. And all the links to Twitter posts from the iamkud0 account don't work. Such posts do not exist. What kind of ban evasion can we talk about in this case?
He should have found better links but it does look like he is right and kudosinitchi and autumnleaf share the same twitter account, its just that twitter account had name changed. If you check any of the tweet links below, you will see that it leads to the same account autumnleaf is using.

I think the gov should give waver to them for they help themselves and the country - I am impressed the way Nigeria and Philippines has worked on the crypto - they have helped the locals and locals have helped bringing the revenus to the country
Nigeria government helped locals when it comes to bitcoin adoption? If anything, they made it harder for people to use bitcoin,but adoption there happened despite their efforts, not because of them. Regarding Philippines, situation there ain't perfect either as they have no tax up to $4500, and after that its 35%. The information is still not clear enough, if this is valid in the exchange between currencies or even if it is for a stablecoin. As of this writing, it is valid for all cryptoassets, which includes everything.
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies, so it shouldn't matter whether its BTC, ETH, USDT or DOGE.
Overall, not a bad deal for Portuguese crypto hodlers, but I think my country is even more hodling friendly as at the moment we pay only 10% tax (+surtax) and we don't have to pay tax at all if we hodl for two years.

But to play the devil's advocate, they "accept" Bitcoin "payments" through a centralized third party?
Of course. If they were accepting it directly they wouldn't need Coinbase. Technically they're not truly accepting payments through Bitcoin. They're merely accepting payments through Coinbase, like they accept payments through PayPal.
True, but its important to take one step after another. I don't think that it is realistic to expect from such a big company like Google to start accept bitcoin directly P2P. I mean, it would be great of course, but even this is a positive thing. Slow and steady wins the race so who knows, in a few years they might start accepting bitcoin directly.

As the title says, Google plans to start accepting crypto payments for their cloud service early next year via partnership with Coinbase. No matter what people think about Coinbase and centralized exchanges in general this is a good news and a step in the right direction regarding crypto adoption. Google (GOOGL) will start accepting crypto payments for cloud services early next year, according to a press release.
Announced Tuesday at Google’s Cloud Next conference, the tech giant said it will receive crypto payment via an integration with crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN).
Crypto payments will initially be rolled out to a handful of customers involved in the Web3 industry. Google will also user Coinbase's custody service, Coinbase Prime.

True, but still signature campaign posts are not counted as a real job as there are no hard skills involved, besides filling in the weekly quota. Maybe for you (and me), but for some people coming from 3rd world countries having this as the only source of income this "job" is as real as it gets and it even demands some hard skills, like being able to write in a foreign language. I mean, there's bunch of altcoin bounty hunters who see that as their job, so I am not surprised at all when people come and ask questions like OP did. If the employer decides to press on further, I can imagine OP having a hard time trying to convince what he/ she could bring to the table: ....
Haha this made me chuckle and is spot on how it would look like if someone mentioned it in his CV and then employer started asking questions.

There might be other names in the list that might be very disappointing to see for the bitcoin community if the data are true. Does anyone know Jason Lowery? I saw him being mentioned in social media as a laser eyes, there is no second best, never touching shitcoins type of holder. Well, according to info from that website he only had bitcoin on Celsius, so I guess he didn't touch shitcoins. It might only be a person with the same name, however. We cannot be certain with less known people.
I found this screenshot in social media. A similar search would give only $0.55 lost.
He confirmed it on twitter that it was indeed him, but he also said that $56k amount was a wrong calculation and that he actually had only $0.56 worth of bitcoin on Celsius. https://twitter.com/JasonPLowery/status/1579587441799106560

It looks like the website calculate the loss based on recent/current coin price. It's possible some people lose more since coin price could be higher when they make deposit or obtain the coin.
Yep, number is constantly changing. That guy on the top has ~2080 BTC in there, which means that his total deposit was much higher at one moment, USD wise. To think that someone would send that amount of bitcoins to a third party platform for a measly 9-10% APY is beyond me, but I guess he thought it was easy money so why not and few of my friends thought the same. Oh nice, so this is the website they are using to post tweets about money they lost. Someone decided to make it easier for tax service and those who plan $5 wrench attacks. Ex-Rich list is big, and there is even one Japanese guy I sure hope that they didn't put their whole portfolio there and that is just a fraction of what they own, but I saw some people having like 10-15 different cryptocurrencies deposited there so some might have used Celsius as a cold storage.

Huh, people are getting creative with that file so someone made a website that shows how much each person has (had) on Celsius and even made leaderboard according to which top loser had ~40 million USD. https://celsiusnetworth.com/

Did he plagiarize after the post you quoted? Yes, all posts reported by @morvillz7z were made between June 10th and June 18th, meaning more than 2 months after he advised people not to plagiarize so he obviously knew what he was doing. Have you seen his signature? I don't know what he wore before, but at the moment he isn't posting for money. Yeah I saw that at the moment he is not getting paid for the signature, but he did apply in a couple of signature campaigns few days ago so this is just something temporary while in between two campaigns.

I think most people who bought Bitcoin at $55,000 already cut loss since Bitcoin price doesn't increase over than $22,000.
That mainly depends whether that person bought bitcoin for the first time, or its a seasoned veteran who buys bitcoin in regular intervals, no matter the price ( I fall into the 2nd category as I bought some bitcoin around that price but I also bought it when price was only few thousands. I think that situation is different compared to 2018 and even newbies are more willing to hodl bitcoin through bear market as I know a couple of those who bought bitcoin for the first time during recent bull run are still (afaik) hodling so people are slowly realizing that this is just temporary and that there will be another bull run and that they will profit if they suck it up.

I joined long time back on 2017. still member. i am really ashamed about it.I want to increase to legendary. please help what should i do?
For the beginning, start posting outside of altcoin section because from what i can see, 90% of your posts were made there. Another thing, stop with those mindless one-liners as even if you start posting in other section where there's a lot of merit, you want get far with that approach. Forget about signature campaigns and weekly quota, simply start communicating with others (which you haven't been doing in 5 years since you joined this forum) and post only when you actually have to say something and merit will come, and therefore higher ranks. By the way, you wouldn't be the first altcoin bounty hunter managed to change and who became an asset to this forum, so there is a chance for you as well.

I knew I will get this question. So, I immediately started searching for the post. It takes 50 Minutes to find this post. Here it is,
Thanks, I appreciate the effort! I'd say it makes a lot of sense: people shouldn't get banned if they corrected their own mistake.
While I do agree that people shouldn't immediately get banned for plagiarism (imho signature ban is more appropriate, at least for the first offence), I disagree that they should plagiarize without consequences if they are fast enough to delete reported post which ain't that hard if you are using notification bot. While certain percentage of plagiarism is probably done due ignorance (people being on the forum for the first time etc) or it was an honest mistake, I think that vast majority is intentional, like in @Mr.right85 case. Just few months before he started plagiarizing he was talking about it in his self-congratulatory post, meaning he knew what he was doing and what were the consequences of his action but he went with it anyway. Imho, in his case signature ban could be enough, but not to go without consequences like he did. Never be in a haste The need to earn merits and rank up is certainly one of the major goals of most newbies on the forum and also, this goal has proven to be the major reasons why most newbies have seen there end rather too early on the forum. Being too hasty makes you want to seek out shortcuts. Shortcuts that makes you want to break the rules and go into acts like plagiarism and spamming. The next, you've succumbed to laziness which develops on you and discourages any form of creativity within you. Unfortunately, the forum rules never bends for anyone and as it is with law breakers, you eventually get caught and is shown the way out.

Well, you're not wrong though, the above post me proves it all. Btw nice catch YOSHIE, i wonder how much time it takes before you get those info but doesn't matter anyway, good job. Hah yeah, it was pretty obvious that he is not a genuine newbie but instead someone whose sole purpose is to leech off this forum and I even managed to guess that he has alt accounts in bounty (kudos to YOSHIE for a nice catch!). What's worrisome though is how easy these shitposters like @fennic farm merit, which is probably caused by lack of new members so every time someone new shows up, people shower them with merit. Well, at least many of them don't have brain to remain undetected for too long.

With the fierce stand against plagiarism on the forum, one would think there would certainly have been a repercussion of some sort when someone commits the heinous crime of taking credit for someone else work. Heinous crime? Plagiarism sucks and I reported my share of those, but lets not exaggerate here. The post has been long deleted so I can safely assume that not all users on the forum gets the same treatment when found out for plagiarism
That's a known fact for a long time, nothing new here. And I see nothing wrong if someone who is net positive to this forum gets signature or temporary ban instead permanent one, unlike some shitposter who is probably an alt account of previously banned account. Ps. Mods doesn't choose who to ban or not. They ban all the users who was verified that plagiarized, if you think why they are not banned yet. Of course, they with a lot of people posting in the forum they wouldn't be able to filter it out that's why there's a board for that so some users who caught users plagiarizing content can report it.
Situation is not so simple as you presented it. If mods ban all users who plagiarized, @Mr.right85 would have been banned already but as we can see, he still hasn't been banned so when it comes to plagiarism its case by case scenario. To get someone banned, The plagiarized post must be available on the forum. Moderators do not consider Post Scraping links like Loyce.club or Ninjastic. This is not my statement. One of the Mods said that, but I cannot find the Post now. First time I hear about this and honestly doesn't make much sense to me. Can you please (or anyone else) find the source of that claim?

Whatever the case is, it is not an isolated one - I caught another one who does something similar, although I leave a grain of doubt that maybe he is the author of the article from the link. The doubt is really small because his second post is nothing different... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5416497 ( archived) It is somewhat different case, and he might be the original author after all as Pmalek pointed out to same mistake in the spreadsheet regarding Ledger, and he replied that its been fixed, which it is if you check the spreadsheet and the article. If he has the rights to edit those then he is behind it after all. Unless that's been sorted before and then he jumped on it to sort of prove that he is the author. Hi, I am the article/spreadsheet author. You are right, I fixed that on the article and spreadsheet. Thanks !! I noticed that you listed Ledger among those hardware wallets that support a Bitcoin-only firmware. Ledger doesn't have that. It's possible to only install the Bitcoin app on your Nano device and no other apps, but that can't be considered as a Bitcoin-only firmware. Is this a mistake or is there a reason why Ledger is on that list?

I'm still very new here and recently I saw a one line post with 4 merits from 3 different people. And let's be human please and admit that that alone is a major discouraging factor in the forum as getting 4 merits from a one line post and you, after taking out your time, maybe after a stressful day at work to make a post that seemed quality to you, only to see that it has no single appreciation, that most times isn't fair. If anything, that should encourage you that getting merit ain't that hard and that you don't have to write bloated wall of text in order for someone to see your post as quality/helpful. and you, after taking out your time, maybe after a stressful day at work to make a post that seemed quality to you, only to see that it has no single appreciation, that most times isn't fair. Just because you think that your own post is quality or helpful, doesn't mean that others do the same. One of the problems in this forum is that members regurgitate what's already been said a couple of times before in the same topic, so naturally their chances of getting merit for that are slim to none.

Member LagOutLoud copied gmaxwell's topic word for word, for whatever reason (probably merit fishing). I am copying just a small portion of the text and that should be enough to nuke him since he is a brand new member with this being his first post. Archive https://ninjastic.space/post/61088147As many are aware, the infamous faketoshi scammer Craig Wright has been on a campaign to use harassment, intimidation, barratry, and fraud to attempt to steal some 1.1M coins that belong to Satoshi and others.
In furtherance of this scheme his company just published code for directing the seizure of third party coins in the BSV blockchain. BSV is a scammy bitcoin knockoff that is proprietary software controlled exclusive by Wright and his agents. Users of BSV are only permitted to run the software he approves so they're able to foist their coin stealing code onto their users which would be impossible for legitimate cryptocurrencies.

Aren't you afraid of adding a second point of failure (for instance from a $5 wrench attack)? You're the first point of failure, and if you make a terrible mistake, you lose your coins and have only yourself to blame. But giving someone else the same access is a huge risk, even if they don't take your coins on purpose.
I think that risk of giving someone else the access heavily depends on the person you choose. In my case I would even say that it is safer with that person than it is with me as he lives in a rural part of country, and is ex-military who is very cautious and security oriented because of the job he did. On the other hand, if you give it to someone that is close to you and who you can trust not to steal from you but is not really cautious and doesn't care about safety, then you are asking for trouble.
