And few people really need funds if all of us stop then those needy people will face a lot of problems that's the main reason for lending. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but in most cases I don't think you help people who have money problems by lending and making them pay interest. They're only digging a deeper hole, instead of saving up once and being ahead for the rest of their life. It seems to me addiction is like gambling. I didn't expect this answer. I guess it makes sense, if both gambling and lending are turning a loss in the long run. |

Thanks again for your flawless timing!

Advertising != endorsement. That's the tricky part: even though I agree, many people don't think that way. Just like they think Merit is an endorsement. |

I guess an asterisk was easier to patch than isolating just one post? It does mean the server has to look up (up to) 20 posts for each request, but I guess that's tiny compared to the rest of the page loads. One question: will the resulting page also show the topicID somewhere? If so, I can work with this and add the (couple of thousand) missing posts to my archive. Thanks for writing this! Please, theymos…  ^What he says^ |

Is this really a scam case? Even if there are currently no victims, the site still allows deposits while withdrawals don't work. |

Though the anonymity mining should have been whirlwinds first red flag and I am very surprised they got away with that, without a question. If you read back, you'll see there were questions. There were some answers, and it sounded plausible so they got (at least) the benefit of the doubt. Just based on these posts and all the other garbage I'm reading, I'm starting to think there is something bigger and more shocking at play here. Do tell  |

I'm not 100% sure, but I think whirlwind once confirmed that his note is still funded. Either way, stormbounty will have to talk to the escrow instead of complaining here. |

remotemass doesn't hide that he uses AI. I'm a little confused. What should we do in such case? Just report it as "Insubstantial post/topic". Even Off-topic is supposed to have "Other topics that might be of interest to bitcoiners.", not lazy copy/paste text. |

Yeah, I generally don't really care about people shitposting, I would just report and move on. I've reported the post, but it's in Meta, and Mods are very lenient there it was deleted. I wanted to post it in Royse777's campaign thread, but figured this is a better place. Getting kicked out of a campaign hurts much more than having a post deleted. |

he can't prove that he didn't receive the funds back because he doesn't have either the private key of the note or the withdrawal LoG. All he has is a deposit LoG. But, given the current situation, even if he is lying, and actually has the private key of his note, he is no longer able to withdraw his funds.
Now, I'm not exactly sure who should make the call here, but I'd suggest giving the guy his money back, if anything's left in escrow, regardless of his mistakes. After all, his money ended up with whirlwind, and it's not like the casino situation where folks knowingly gamble away their money. You may be on to something. One of the reasons he couldn't get a refund, was because if he's lying and still has the private key, he could claim it twice. Or someone else could show up with the private key. Since the site is gone now, the only possibility would be if he withdrew already while complaining here. But if that would be the case, wouldn't WWM have noticed that and called him out on that? |

Can you upload GIF here? I haven't tried it yet as I don't usually add images in my post unless needed. If not, I hope you can add that, that would be awesome. The OP literally says you can use GIF. So to sum it up: Latviand asks for something that's already there, which he doesn't need, but hopes to be added anyway. He's clearly only posting to reach a target, without reading anything. He received feedback from ranochigo 3 years ago: User has absolutely zero idea of what's going on in the thread. It's still the same. @Royse777 Are you sure you want this shitposter in your campaign? |

Isn't there a simple version?

Of course, there is a risk if they expose the private keys before my death. You said it  That's the risk you should avoid. I never had or used any will. So I don't know if they are secure or not. Here, you'd have to use a notary. They're supposed to be trusted, but they're also human. And it would be impossible to prove if they used your private key, so I wouldn't risk it. |

Did you try asking for a refund from the whirlwind collateral per this message? Stormbounty was told to ask for the escrow's ruling months ago. Not sure what LoG of withdraw means but since you don't have a note, maybe if you can prove by block explorer that you sent money to a whirlwind address, then you might be eligible for a repayment. He couldn't prove it. |

Instead, I'm talking about a valid suspicion (to the best of my knowledge) that someone might scam, even before the actual act of scam occurs. I suspect that anyone can scam at some point, just like anyone can commit a murder. But we shouldn't tag everyone, just like we don't jail everyone "to prevent crimes". We can warn people, but that's where it stops. Negative feedback loses it's "power" if everyone has it. |

ive seen the security bounty page before but i thought it was denominated in grams of Au instead of USD? That was changed years ago. |

or at least preventing them from having the power to include links. This applies: The things on the forum which encourage spam are allowed mainly because it's part of the forum's mission to be as free as possible.

Limiting newbie participation is very harmful for a community. ~ When barriers to participation are too high, then the best people often just won't go to the trouble of joining, and the people who are willing to jump through the hoops are often people who aren't good for the community: people with nothing better to do, scammers, get-rick-quickers, etc. If spammers can't post links, they'll just spam a bit more until they have enough Activity to edit their old posts and add spam links. But a new user with a technical problem who can't post a link will just give up. |

I get that, but I can't really find an "optimal" UTXO size... Some say the larger the better. Some say something around 100k sats is the best... Anyway For what it's worth: at one point in 2017, 100k sats wasn't enough to pay for the transaction fee. It really depends on circumstances. As an example: this transaction with 33 inputs of 100k sats each resulted in only 800k sats being sent, the rest went to miners. |

I also don't think it would achieve much if people would agree to act more preventively with the trust system That would be very bad. See eddie13's post, he wrote it much better than I can. |
