For anyone interested, here in Brisbane it was a cloudless day, not overly hot day, but tonight (it's after eleven local time) it's very hot and humid. There's a severe storm forecast for Sunday. Originally storms Saturday evening through late Sunday, but now just Sunday.  If it keeps being this hot and cloudless, then it'll be a corker of a downpour (brief, but heavy).

Together with the number of players injuring themselves and the storm having the potential to delay things (and both teams in Covid lockdown in the same hotel (think late night revelry)), I'm seeing the fourth test being a draw. (Even if Warner stops mucking about and starts playing)

On my tablet device if I log into freebitco.in then switch to another app then come back to the browser app I find I have been logged out and have to log back in (including 2FA) which doesn't happen on the PC.

Most strange.

I'm struggling to envisage a scinario to justify an in-between rank such as the one you suggest?

AFAIK the entire forum is open to all from the moment you register onwards. It's not as though you need Senior member just to even *see* certain sections of the forum.

Get writing, be creative. Start a useful thread or two and earn merits.

Good Luck.

Since the Merit system began I've amazed enough non-airdropped merits to have attained the rank of Hero Member along with the required posts to go with it.

If a user wants to rank-up it's usually with the intention of joining a Signature Campaign (there's little other reason to level up - not really).

Too many people want to start the working life in the executive suite instead of working their way up the corporate ladder.

Perseverance.

You don't suppose the Tax Office were too busy laughing that someone was bothering with the Bitcoin FUorked coins and decided to give not you a break?

That user would have to unblock the 95% of the Forum and actually be less selective in the handful of favourites they merits on a regular basis before such a comment from them could be taken to be creditable...

Some other threads are calling a correction at the end of March which would make sense given those who have come in during the end of year run will probably be reaching for the smelling salts in about a month's time when they beging to wonder why BTC hasn't gone up to $60k or higher.

In six weeks time I envisage early dumps will start, then by mid March people will see the slump for what it is and drive the price down as they recoup their losses.

(And yes, down sub $20k)

It wouldn't be something like the One Satoshi quasi spam that occurred during the Sochi Winter Olympics a few years ago? IIRC it was either a tracking attack (actual terminology name escapes me just now) or it really was just a cleaver marketing ploy...

Either way I seem to recall hearing that "feature" has now been disabled.

I can only speak for the tax situation for here in Australia:

In the first example a person buys $2000 worth of crypto and sells the entire amount 24 hours later for $3000, they have made a "profit" of $1000. Because the sale occured less than one year from the time the purchase was made, the user pays Capital Gains Tax on the entire $1000 at the applicable tax rate determined by the user's other taxation lodgement details.

In the second example, as with before, the user buys $2000 worth of crypto but then holds it for more than twelve months before selling the entire parcel for $3000. Although the "profit" is $1000 because the user held the asset for more than twelve months, the CGT is worked out on half of the profit amount (half of $1000 is $500).

I've rebroadcast your tx 3a0cec97eb432d5a24401e620594767a3d6170ae602973a077006bafb2d176f7 to over a dozen links from the list that can be found here:

It's not hard to do once you know what you're doing.

Regards,

There's certainly examples of merit/trust abuse where two or more users gift each other merits on the same day e.g. ten sent then five received back around the same time.

For me personally I tend to hand out the merits to as many people as possible which is reflected in my merit circle score of 355 which gives me a ranking of 80.

Merit me and I'll pay it forward.

When you contacted @Yatsan prior to starting this thread, what was their response? I've come across other UID's that have changed their passwords seeming too often, but certainly not as frequently as this person has.

I've been using TOR for a couple of months now and find around the fifty minutes of use mark everything grinds to a halt. I either have to shut all open windows bar one, or, change the connection.

Nice work @invincible49, if I recall correctly four of the five were banned (three were ban evasion) with just Lrshohag having avoided the ban hammer. Not sure why that particular UID avoided being banned? Perhaps theyll go this time 'round.

You've got to admit it's been quite a meteoric rise in price since November 2019 when the price had come off of the boil in about April/May of the same year. The price charts for the last three years makes this Moon Shot look like a cliff. You may find during the next few months the ask price is unsustainable when people want to buy BTC to make transactions with it slowly pushing the price back down as new coins are minted (don't forget those miners have overheads to cover).

Why does Australia continue to pin it's hopes on players like David Warner, out for a duck (or close to it) then he's hurt his arm/shoulder fielding a mediocre slow ball.

I picked up odds of ~3.4:1 for the third test ending in a draw.

Could've, would've, should've... Didn't.

Am I missing something here? You were going to place a bet then withdrew it in favour of a smaller wager.

Hmmmm...

Brand new user lauding Lauda... I don't think so...

Instead of reaching for the smelling salts people should be reminded that plagerism is a banable offence, so if any alt of Lauda were to be exposed, then that would be ban evasion.

QED.
