Husires, I hope you have the courage to admit that you are a "plagiarist" and topic duplicates abuser. The curtain.

You make yourself ridiculous, if you search a little you will find that I am writing:

This is exactly what the bot will do.

Step2:  Bot summarizing news and articles. I've been doing this manually in the threads that were mentioned above.

I was thinking of making a bot that would do a news feed, where it would be automatically created in press/Economics board and summarizing some good articles from Binance academy/Reddit/Quora.
The source of the news will not be RSS updates, topic will be summarized in txt file, pass to Step1 and created automatically.


Do you want to apologize for this part?


especially for those merit sources who sent merit to newly created duplicates of old topics (I was one of such sources)

 misleads other users who send him merit, write posts in his topics, and he just does these the topics are inactive,






@Husires, you should test your bot only on the archival or off-topic or even better: install SMF on your machine and make your tests there.

[i]just my 2 sats[/i]

I think the reason here is the paid signature. I do not take posting seriously and post from time to time (1200 posts from 2018) so I use my main account.
Today I created this bot account. @Husires_bot

Two wrong do not make it right. Besides, something seems wrong to others don't need to be wrong for you. If you are doing this for the purpose of the bot then just continue. Don't bother of the discussion here.

All I'm looking for is an apology, if not for the whole topic, I hope Ratimov will be brave and apologize for this part, which has been proven wrong. Smiley

especially for those merit sources who sent merit to newly created duplicates of old topics (I was one of such sources).

Contact them using Reddit, I have some friends those who had the same problem, and it was resolved after about 15 days, contact the support team or create a new ticket.

Most of the stories I've heard relate to changing the IP address, deleting cookies or logging in from a new browser, you have a more convincing argument that you've checked out to an address that you know before so the problem will be solved.

so they said that they have a 100% bonus on the first deposit. I did not look for information about them before making a deposit but did not find a response that they are fraudsters. There was one comment that they demanded a high turnover from the player, but that he did not see a lot of money. I wanted to open an account on this site through them https://www.365ibet365.com/  Are there any reliable sites that offer dark bet365?

The problem is not only that they are scammers, but the design of the site indicates a lack of professionalism, note this page https://topbetbroker.com/faq/ If you are a beginner you will realize that they do not have any technical knowledge in designing pages and therefore even if they are honest, it is easy for hackers to find a bug.

Sorry for losing your money and thanks for warning.
2825  Bitcoin / Legal / DUBAI LICENSES BINANCE AND FTX on: March 19, 2022, 07:34:26 AM
With this license, “Binance will be capable of function inside Dubai’s ‘test-adapt-scale’ digital asset market mannequin as a base for growth into the area,”

Much like Binance, FTX defined that the license permits it “to function inside Dubai’s ‘test-adapt-scale’ VA market mannequin which has rigorous regulatory oversight and necessary FATF [Financial Action Task Force] compliance controls.”

Quote
Cryptocurrency exchanges FTX and Binance have been licensed by Dubai’s Digital Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA). The regulator was established final week when the primary regulation to control crypto property was adopted in Dubai.

Binance introduced Wednesday:

We now have been granted a digital asset license from Dubai’s Digital Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA).

Source: https://www.metaverseprofessor.com/2022/03/19/dubais-new-digital-asset-regulator-licenses-crypto-exchanges-binance-ftx-regulation-bitcoin-information/

  • Binance activity has entered the Middle East and North Africa region, and Dubai is fast in adoption.
  • we may see more institutional users who may rush to adopt cryptocurrencies in that region.
  • I see that the competition between FTX and Binance has begun to increase, which is a good thing.

It's not about the post got paid or not, but you create those thread intended only to earn merits for applying a campaign.

So why do I locked it and move it directly to the archive? I hope that the administrators have access to log time of moving topics, but the number of views proves that no one has seen them, so how will I get merits?

Quote
No, actual number is 13, I earned 667 Cheesy
Where 13 is came from?
[/quote]
your number: 49
There are 21 I miscalculated and so on for the rest of the points.

49-21+3-8-5-2-3=13

But suppose you are correct and i earned 49 out of 667, how will benefit me by joining a signature campaign? Note the number of signature campaigns I joined from the date my account was created.

2827  Other / Archival / Re: Husires - Abuse of creating duplicate themes on: March 18, 2022, 02:43:17 PM
If you want to make your thread got interested, you can bump your topic every 24 hour and delete the previous bump.
No, I am trying to modify the script above so that you can create topics without being connected*. It's not about replies, but about creating topics.

Quote
Nope, but it's unethical.

Unethical? If I am aiming for merits, I will not move them directly to the archive.
Plus, most of these topics are not paid, I don't join a lot of signature campaigns, and anyone can check it out.
I hope that the administrators have a list of timing for moving topics, you will find that most of them are moved to the archive as soon as they are created.

If I'm doing this for merits, why am I locking the thread and archiving it directly? Look at the number of views in my topics in the archive and you will find that it is less than 20, is this the behavior of someone looking for merits? Huh


Check number of views


As you see, all my "duplicate themes" did not get merits for that same reason.

As for signature campaigns, I only joined 3 campaigns, and withdrew from one of the campaigns myself.
You can check the dates of creation of topics and you will find that most of them were not paid topics.

As for the reason why I do this, this is because i edit this bot AutoReply v1.0, and long topics are suitable for that im trying to do, is there a rule that prevents re-writing my topics?  Huh Huh

Economic crises can be good if you have the appropriate tools to buy things when they become cheaper, but the majority of people will not have enough tools to achieve the greatest economic benefit from these crises.
Let's go back a little to two years ago, on March 11, 2020, when the World Health Organization announced the pandemic:


  • Shares are down more than 50%.
  • Bitcoin is down even more.
  • In the coming months, oil fell to levels below zero for the first time in history.
  • Lots of governments give away money for free.

The initiative is good but the most important thing is to have people explain Bitcoin correctly and people with motives other than the quick profit of using Bitcoin.
The use of Bitcoin for speculation and future investment has become more than financial uses for it or as a currency for daily needs.

I found a list of places where you can talk or trade bitcoin but it looks like it needs updating:

Europe, Middle East, and Africa:


North America:

2831  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: new opening of Bitcoin monetary era on: March 18, 2022, 10:02:01 AM
What is the difference between them and central banks? Central banks print more money than they have in reserve and so do stablecoins.
The problem is when the bitcoin price starts a real correction down with more than 60% then the calculations and if these stablecoins fails to maintain the peg (1 stablecoin = 1 USD) the selling pressure will make those currencies unstable.


Any panic can happen and with our prior knowledge that most of these currencies do not own less than 10% of the currencies that they print, then we can say that these currencies are unstable and what makes them stable is the promises of obtaining a stable value, as soon as these promises are questioned, their value will collapse.

  • Buying $10 million is nothing but trying to gain trust in these promises.
  • Stay away from all stablecoins and if you are forced, buy only DAI, USDC, AND USDT.
2832  Economy / Economics / Re: Whats the talk about china new digital curremcy and de-dollarisation ? on: March 18, 2022, 09:45:53 AM
The term "de-dollarization" means to start using other currencies besides the dollar or gold to conduct international cross-border transactions, especially oil trade.

Since Nixon decided to abolish the link between the dollar and gold, USD linked to oil and the petrodollar was renamed.
Therefore, most countries (80%) of the world's oil is sold against the dollar, and the lack of this hegemony will affect the United States because domination in the world means economic, scientific and military superiority.



The stability of the dollar as a currency for trades between countries and its use of more than 50% for trade between oil and about 68% as a reserve will force all countries to be affected by inflation in the United States and thus ensure that all these countries share the burden of public debt, including ensuring the supremacy of the United States.


These reserves are still far from affecting USD, perhaps we need a III world war to reduce this effect, so "de-dollarization" is still dreams.
2833  Economy / Economics / Re: PayPal started working in Ukraine on: March 18, 2022, 09:26:39 AM
The problem in Ukraine relates to withdrawing money from banks and updating balances, as I believe that the government has imposed certain withdrawal limits, Bitcoin is an additional option, but the Ukrainian people will definitely not depend on Bitcoin.

  • We will be lucky if 1% of Ukrainians use Bitcoin to make payments.
  • Paypal is more suitable for digital payments than buying from local stores.
  • I don't think companies like Western Union will do well, they accept cash withdrawals which is dangerous for a country under bombardment.
  • Purchasing with a visa will be the most convenient option, and making Paypal will facilitate that.
2834  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Gate.io banned some countries on: March 18, 2022, 08:59:19 AM
I checked the fees and they don't look attractive, their average fees are higher than many of the well known platforms. https://withdrawalfees.com/exchanges/gateio
The trading volumes are also much lower than the popular platforms.

  • I can understand why the US, Syria, Cuba, Vietnam, Iran were not included because of US legislation and the strictness of US regulations.
  • What I don't understand is countries like Canada, Malaysia, they seem neutral and most platforms don't ban those countries.

It seems that the countries allowed to work are few, and even those countries, the account can be frozen at any time

Trying to confirm that it's not a scam

Why are you trying to prove it's not a scam? The rule says it's a scam unless it proves it's a reliable site, has delivered mining equipment, and has a good track record, otherwise the site is a scam.

Note that if you scammed, all you have is a username in Telegram that can be changed easily, there is no commercial registration, website, factory, and other things.

Do not search too much, the site is a scam, no matter how positive you get, there are a lot of negative indicators, there are alternatives and there is no need to take risks.
2837  Economy / Economics / Re: Ukraine has legalized the cryptosector on: March 17, 2022, 02:13:39 PM
It is positive news, but it cannot return to being related to the war.

  • The government is looking for ways to finance and digital currencies may be a source of obtaining some aid.
  • It may also be imposing taxes or making companies operate virtually without having real offices in that country.
  • It is not as positive as accepting Bitcoin as legal tender but the legislation would be good for individuals.
  • A legal background can now be found for all fraud cases that may occur during current donations.

The government will now accept donations legally.

I understand that hacks do happen, but for a hack to go on for hours and nobody responds, it shows that this platform is probably run by 1-2 people, wunderbit claim to have 10k clients, which means they earn a large amount of money and yet don't hire enough staff to be available 24/7, in fact

I send a lot of transfers in BTC from my wallet and want to start tracking these payments by writing personalised notes on where the transaction came from or to as well as other information about the sender or receiver.

You can do this if before you send, some wallets provide such a feature, download electrum wallet and then add notes before sending those transactions.

Introduction


Let's imagine the following: The wallet is a private key that enables the user to spend money, Blockchain is a long belt of bags that anyone can look at and know their value, but only those who have the key can spend it.
When you want to send the money, you opens your bag, perform a new scan that indicates the old (which is then destroyed) and closes that bag, so the recipient can open it to spend and repeat the process.

By assuming the above, we can rename it as follows: private key (scriptSig) locker (scriptPubKey)
The outcome of combining the two gives us a tiny program, which each node check it.

A transaction is considered valid if the embedded script does not have anything to fail and the top stack item is True (non-zero).
Byte vectors are not allowed to be more than 520 bytes long, Opcodes be no more than 4 bytes long, except addition/subtraction (overflow a 5 byte.)

Script is a list of instructions recorded with each transaction, those instructions describe how the next person who wants to spend the transferred bitcoin can access it. it is simple, stack-based, processed from left to right, and not Turing-complete, with no loops. so is what governs the locking/unlocking mechanism.

Through it, a set of conditions can be set, such as providing multiple keys, there are no keys at all, adding a secret, a specific time and others.


Bitcoin stack, Opcodes, Locktime, and Unspendable/Prunable Outputs


Script is what’s known as a stack-based language, but what is the stack?
Think you have a vertical column, you stack the data (signatures, hashes, ...etc) down and add new data to the top, we have instructions (opcodes) that tell us to do something, we work on one or more elements starting from the top.


Opcodes is a list of all Script words, new opcodes can be added by executed softfork using OP_NOP1-OP_NOP10.

False is zero or negative zero (using any number of bytes) or an empty array, and True is anything else.

Locktime:

Code:
scriptPubKey: <expiry time> OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY OP_DROP OP_DUP OP_HASH160 <pubKeyHash> OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG
scriptSig: <sig> <pubKey>

Unspendable/Prunable Outputs:

Code:
scriptPubKey: OP_RETURN {zero or more ops}

Script examples:

Data to be pushed to the stack (enclosed in angle brackets), data push commands are omitted, Non-bracketed words are opcodes.
Non-standard scripts are accepted if they are in a block, but nodes will not relay them.

Code:
scriptPubKey: OP_DUP OP_HASH160 <pubKeyHash> OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG
scriptSig: <sig> <pubKey>

raw scriptPubKey:

Code:
  76       A9             14
OP_DUP OP_HASH160    Bytes to push

89 AB CD EF AB BA AB BA AB BA AB BA AB BA AB BA AB BA AB BA   88         AC
                      Data to push                     OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG

how each word is processed:



P2PK, P2PKH, and P2SH

Pay-to-Pubkey (P2PK):

From the name you can deduce that it is paying (locking funds) to a particular public key (without first hashing the public key.) in this case you need to provide your public key.

Cons:  longer payment addresses, and less protection (break in the ECDSA signature algorithm with the whole public key may enable the hacker to know the key to using quantum computers.)

Code:
scriptPubKey: <pubKey> OP_CHECKSIG
scriptSig: <sig>

Process:


Pay-to-Pubkey-Hash (P2PKH):

Pay-to-Pubkey-Hash (P2PKH) is now the most common type of transaction.
The ScriptPubKey and ScriptSig for a transaction is shown below:

Code:
ScriptPubKey= OP_DUP OP_HASH160 <Public KeyHash> OP_EQUAL OP_CHECKSIG
ScriptSig= <Signature> <Public Key>

OP_DUP:

Pops the first element, duplicates it, and adds both back to the stack.
The result will be: Perform an iterative operation without affecting the original

OP_HASH160:

Pops the first element, hashes it twice and add the result to the output.
First hash: with the SHA-256 algorithm.
Second hash: The SHA-256 output is hashed with the RIPEMD-160 algorithm.

OP_EQUALVERIFY:

Combines two other operators OP_EQUAL and OP_VERIFY.
OP_EQUAL: pops two elements and checks if they’re identical. Yes: adds a 1 to the stack. No: adds a 0 to the stack.

OP_VERIFY:
Pops the top element and checks. True (i.e., non-zero) is valid. else the transaction fails.



The public key is not disclosed when the recipient decides to transfer funds.

Pay-to-Script Hash(P2SH):

lock funds to the hash of a script without knowing anything about the details of how to set up security. Then the recipient may need the signatures of many people to spend this bitcoin, or a password may be needed, or any requirements that may be completely unique.

Addresses:
BIP 13 specifies the address format. P2SH bitcoin address formats begin with the number 3 because we have a version byte prefix of 0x05 (3 after base58check encoding,) instead of the 0x00 prefix (1 after base58check encoding) in P2PKH addresses.

locking script is replaced with a redeem script hash,hash derives from a redeem script. when a transaction attempting to spend the UTXO input must contain the PubKey Script (that contains the redeem script hash) and the unlocking script.

scriptSig is <2>, scriptPubKey <multiply by 2> <4> <check if equal> the following SHA-256 hash:

e145fe9ed5c23aa71fdb443de00c7d9b4a69f8a27a2e4fbb1fe1d0dbfb6583f1

P2SH output is:

Code:
OP_HASH160 <redeemScript hash> OP_EQUAL

redeemScript hash: From the name you can deduce how it works, hash of the script we need to provide to redeem the funds.
Changing redeemScript == scriptSig change.

redeemScript treated as an element But at some point,  it’ll be interpreted as instructions (you can make it anything.)


P2SH Advantages:

 
  • fund/pay any arbitrary redeem script without knowing conditions: It seems logical, you as a sender do not need to know how the future will spend the money in the future.
  • lower the transaction fees (for the sender): Fees are commensurate with transaction sizes.
  • SegWit compatibility: SegWit is a soft fork as we said, you don't need to know the terms so it doesn't matter if clients include them.

why SegWit is a backward-compatible soft fork?
We have  a scriptSig, a scriptPubKey, and a new field called the witness which represents scriptSig so scriptSig is empty.

witness data:

Code:
<signature> <public key>

scriptSig:
Empty

scriptPubKey:

Code:
<OP_0> <public key hash>

How does nodes that receives the transaction what to do?  based on the length of <public key hash> they calculate it and understand it as  P2PKH transaction.

How do nodes that did not upgrade deal? They read an empty scriptSig and some data so They don't know anything, but that doesn't matter as long as the transaction is valid.

coming soon.....
