i have followed all the procedures by inputing my form username, UID and select yes to get notified for both merits and mentions [~snip~] but still not get notified even as u just mention me on this reply. I don't really what is the exact problem.
Did you go to /menu and checked whether mentions, merits and deleted posts are all enabled? If they are, next step would be to ask in the bot's topic, maybe your non-standard username causes problems.

Hello, Fillippone. Sorry for bumping this thread, but I'm having trouble receiving notifications for mentions and merits on my Telegram bot. I'm not sure why, and I've followed all of the proper procedures. Please assist me further; perhaps the bot has been upgraded. @BTTSuperNotifier_bot, while with this one @BitcointalkProjectBot, i can check my merit in last 120 days and my current merit, but i dont get notified whenever i was mentioned or i recieve merit, pls any help @fillippone.
Maybe this helps: what I'm using is BTTSuperNotifier_bot Even more, you can "talk" with the bot. I use now and then /menu for various things (like ignoring users). The full list of commands is: Commands: /start - to start the bot or unstuck it if anything happens. /menu - shows the cool menu. /alt X - set an alternative username. /setMerit X - corrects your cached merit count.
Maybe you go to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5248878.0 and read more, maybe I've missed something. Also: make sure it works first on your Telegram (on your phone), seeing the notifications on the smartband is a second step.

Since I've seen that everybody comes up "knowing better" what this forum may be needing, I'll try my shot too. I feel like the forum could use one more mod in the Dev&Tech sub. I have a feeling that the current mods, although highly technical, don't really have the time do "house cleaning". I know that in most of the cases there's not so much garbage there, I also know that global mods may look in there now and then, but lately I've noticed that at least this topic got derailed pretty bad and I guess that some "kicks" here and there would be useful. ... or would somebody just take the patience and report a bunch of posts? Would be that enough?

Who are all these people in the photo?
Since the plaque also writes "Donated by the Jacksonville Bitcoin meetup", I would expect that the people from the picture are Jacksonville bitcoiners, not actual Papa John's staff (which I see in the background working and not caring about the picture being taken).

I propose to mark all exchangers who require or may require AML or KYC as possible fraudsters!
We can do that, but then we will be left with basically no centralized exchanges; at least none of the big established ones. The problem is that KYC/AML is not imposed directly for crypto. It's imposed in order to access fiat. The fact the exchanges tend to overdo that "just for sure" is another (sad) story. Tagging those exchanges as possible fraudsters is not a good way to go. The normal way is to tag a scammer if it's proven to be a scammer. What we can do is to educate people don't treat lightly the KYC requirements and go for decentralized non-KYC exchanges. And this is an already ongoing process.

As we see BTC was down before Russia Ukraine war. But it effects mostly BTC and BTC not recovered till now.
Actually when the war has started Bitcoin price went from ~39600$ to ~48200$ (in about a month). So you're wrong. But we are in crypto winter part of the 4-year cycle, then the overall world crisis (and also COVID, war, energy) makes the markets look bad. Imho we will see only in a couple of months how badly is Bitcoin price affected. Shiba inu will be effected if above tension come true. And many more token will be effected.
Sorry, I don't care about all shitcoins and shit tokens. You'll learn over years that most don't deserve any attention. As Taiwan is a China Territory.
I guess that you've failed the geography classes. Taiwan is an independent country, no matter what various politicians claim. Indeed, its other official name can be confusing, still , Republic of China is one and People's Republic of China is another thing (another country). My question is that how many others coin will affected if above said thing goes straight.
Usually a war start can make bitcoin prices go up, since it can be seen as a store of value for those fleeing from war, for example, then they stabilize back to "normal". But this is for Bitcoin. For the shitcoins I don't know.

If it was your sister would you buy it now and gift it down the road out of love or would you take the hard stance?
It depends greatly on the relation with the sister. Even more, that relation can change over time. So I will not give a direct answer. However, as stated, she has kids, she is clearly not doing great, and you know that the main rule is to invest only you afford to lose. I will add that even if you award her bitcoin and you teach her everything, she may try to sell when she gets into deeper hardship or she sees the price falling and gets scared. Maybe you make a plan and give her the access to those bitcoins when the kids get to a certain age when she needs/they need more money for their education. So you'll make a present not for her, but for your nephews. It can sort out your dilemma.

How do you (personally) decide when Bitcoins are a buy? - gut feeling, just DCA to a certain amount, only buying below 25,000 or ...?
I will start with the fact that Bitcoin value is different (and imho way bigger) than its price. Now, to your question. I don't really buy Bitcoin, my accumulation "scheme" is to sell less or more from the coins I earn (from signature campaign or other tasks). So I sell less, pretty much based on my gut feeling and the needs of my household (for example last week I couldn't save anything, but a couple of weeks ago I've saved the full amount of the signature pay). Of course, in crypto winter I try to save more.

people are starting to realize the benefits of bitcoin and the freedom it offers. because even today the local currency is affected by inflation and subsequently by a recession as the value of the euro continues to decline towards the dollar.
It would be overly nice if this would be real. But unfortunately it's not. People are far from realizing the full benefits of Bitcoin and most of the few who are interested in bitcoin are only in for the profits. I wish that people would start realizing how evil the fiat is, I wish that people would realize how important their freedom and privacy are. But sadly we're not there yet. The "going up" was just a small and normal fluctuation, that's all, unfortunately.

And you won't have someone accepting Bitcoin in a town where there are only two bitcoin users, so this is why big cities win all the time.
Yeah, this pretty much sums it up, however, as The Pharmacist mentioned, it's not normal that also the online services are extremely limited yet. And we're back to the electric car dilemma, there are no electric cars because there are no stations to charge them and there are no stations to charge electric cars because nobody is buying electric cars.
You're correct, although the electric car dilemma is a bit more complicated (people may be willing to even charge it at home and would buy if the battery would be big enough for get them to wherever they go for holiday) and it's also somewhat handled by EU (by giving out shitloads of money to set up charging stations)

Is it possible that we can run our household expenses with gambling ?
I am asking for those people who don't have any skill or job ?
You've completely misunderstood what gambling means. You've read this or that and thought you've found the goose with golden eggs. No, you didn't. Most of those writing earning scenarios want you to play under their ref link so they can earn. So, if you have some money you want to throw in and try your luck now and then, that's perfectly fine. That's gambling. If you want to earn by gambling you can easily lose money you didn't afford to lose and get into troubles/drama. That's a big no.

Do you have access to online retailers, and in particular ones that accept bitcoin? There aren't even many physical businesses in the US that accept it--that pizza shop and the computer place are kind of anomalies, but online is a different story.
There are a few online stores, but they're only selling IT&C stuff. There was a car retailer, but I think they've given up (and buying a car with 7% premium is a bit much). I guess that could buy pizza if I'd live in the capital city - a couple of hundreds of km away I would love to use a LN wallet instead of a crypto card, but we're not there yet. I do expect, however, the things are somewhat different in US, still, US covers a huge lot of land and, again, you cannot compare a small town with a big city.

and would lead the reader to believe that bitcoin can't be used to purchase things
The problem is that the world is not America, the world is not western Europe, the world is not the bigger cities ... you got the idea. In many countries there are so few places you can actually pay with bitcoin they almost don't deserve to be mentioned (they do, but they're, again, painfully few). Even more, they use payment processors getting pretty high fees over it (so high it's cheaper to use ATM and convert to fiat first). I know, the things are moving in the direction of getting to pay directly with Bitcoin, but slowly and... not where I live / I need it. And don't get me wrong, I did pay with bitcoin directly for goods and services. But the list is so awfully small...

Perhaps because investors and speculators spend money on the gold market to protect their portfolio and aren't really looking to make a high return on investment. For exemple I did but I will be happy even with 0%. Weird but true because even with 0% I win. While with the crypto market, they're looking to make a 'big' R.O.I. I would say it's a different audience or a diversity (a golden rule while investing)
The thing is with the crypto market, we're including the capitalist system and all the problems that come with it. The same problems that the cypherpunks criticized decades ago. Hence the creation of various alternative currencies (as you know Bitcoin is not the first). So people blame capitalism but reproduce the same errors with the decentralized finance. People claim for a decentralized currency but use every thing centralized (exchange platforms, custodial wallets, BTC cards and everything else). I find it harder to find "true bitcoiners" compared to some years ago
With the gold market, it's rather difficult to jeopardize the market. I don't know.
I don't think that the speculators' expectations (a ROI) matter that much. I mean that nobody (from those invested in) would mind if gold price skyrockets. But it doesn't. I think that the fact the market is young and not properly regulated everywhere (allowing market manipulation) do create this volatility. I think that the even younger businesses (and scams too) relying on Bitcoin price - altcoins (yes, let's not fool ourselves), DeFi, whatever - do affect the volatility big time (just remember Luna buying, and also Luna crash). I think that this kind of things are related to the volatility, not speculators' wishes. I expect though that in the future it will be shifting though from a very volatile asset to a more traditional store of value, where people won't have to wait for 4 years to be pretty much certain they're not losing. But it can't happen until Bitcoin is massively adopted. When I say massively I mean much more than a dozen of countries and institutions. And nowadays, people are rarely interested to use BTC for real use cases. All they want is to join Binance, to be KYC'ed as soon as possible, and to make the most as they can. Even if they need to buy an altcoin full of non sense Indeed, here we're on the same page: this can happen only when it's widely adopted, also meaning that big corporations and banks will all be heavily invested into bitcoin. But I think you're overrating trader-gamblers who are risking their lunch money to get some more pennies.

I agree, you should explain a bit better your case.
While OP indeed didn't really explain his problem, it's a known one: there are many users whose winning were not paid by that casino, just look for the feedbacks, flags and complains already existing. Still, unfortunately people come to write onto bitcointalk only after they've god scammed. And they don't read the feedback already existing here. And, from what I've heard, the casino has filled the internet with (fake?) positive reviews, so their real face is basically visible only here.

Food prices are climbing. Partially due to the cost of shipping and transportation rising on fossil fuel overhead.
Well, electricity prices are also bound to continue rising in the near future. From what I know, at least in Europe, a big bulk of electricity is generated from natural gas (basically they've replaced one fossil fuel with another). So financially electric cars are no longer a great business now. And the rather long charging time + rather small number of km one charge holds make the electric cars okay only for those having one car for long distances and another card for the daily use. This is an old problem and won't be solved unless a much better battery system is developed (either much faster charging, like 1 minute for each 100 km added, either a battery that easily lasts over 1000 km).

Have you seen any significant drop in gas prices in your area?
From what I know, in Romania the price has dropped some 10 eurocents (maybe even less than that) from the price we had some 2-3 weeks ago. But, also from what I know, the drop in the international prices for oil is seen here in the gas prices some 10-14 days later, so let's give them a little more time. Will oil drop even further, despite the ongoing war?
This is hard to tell, but I would expect that OPEC strikes some deals and adjusts the flow in a way the prices stabilize at the levels agreed (between the members of OPEC and big players like US). While they do want to earn as much as possible, they also know that if they ruin everybody, then they won't have customers on the long term.

If OP can properly set up a cold storage (maybe with Tails?) it would be much better to move the coins to a new address, so the owner has a better chance to notice something is wrong. Disagree. By far the most likely way that these coins will be recovered is simply by the owner realizing their paper wallet is missing and accessing a different back up to move the coins. If you move them to a new address, then you completely prevent this from happening. If you want to move the coins so the owner notices something is wrong, then sending them back to the same address is the best option. Add in an OP_RETURN output as mentioned above if you feel life it. I think that you are overly confident in others' knowledge. The transaction to itself is a clever solution, I won't deny that, but I do expect some will only notice something is wrong if their funds are missing. On the other hand, I also expect most people don't keep duplicates of the paper wallet, maybe not even duplicate of the address for watching its content online. The truth is that the chances of finding the real owner are not great.
