Scamming is not moderated on the forum and would not get anyone banned. You can get trust flags and negative feedback from the community, but the mods do not act on scams.
Thank you, I learned that scam does not equal ban, however, this type of regulation has to be reviewed, I mean scam and still be on the forum walking freely, that's a crime under the law, but who am I by the way, my opinion doesn't count.

Trying to be a suckpuppet or a people-pleaser doesn't sound appealing either, I've noticed some members here have grown tough skins and would not mind a bit of trolling as long as it's constructive. Share your opinions bluntly, but be open-minded and respect the opinion of others.
Anyone who negative trusts those who upset them, shouldn't be on any default trust list.

This isn't about being an asslicker, there are so many judgments made on this forum that I believe aren't adequately ironed out, but what can I say? I know a DT member whose judgement is always irrevocable, those he tags and gives negative trust, he will never change it even if others find you guilty, he will never alter his mind, all because of the immunity they claim.
Rather than being hunted here and there, I shall remain mutual and impartial to everyone who will cause me unneeded difficulties with my profile.

Plagiarism has been the topic of intense debate since the beginning of this week, and I have chosen an intriguing controversial perspective that we normally disregard as well as myself. I've learned something in and out of this forum, and every other member will agree with me that not everyone will rule for what you say here, there will always be criticism to everything you do in life, and the sooner you accept that the less trouble you'll have and the less entertaining your arguments will be.

I came across a topic titled The forum culture is to kill all newbies? When the OP was talking about how higher rank members constantly degrade beginners, and I just had to quote another user for complaining about how Pokapoka124, who has always been one of the tough members, had been hard on him, making a ban appealing.
  • All you do is tell us that the "newbie" is to blame for the plagiarism and not you.
  • All you do is try to outshine us with your "alleged" achievements instead of appealing

I'm not going to go into detail about how he was banned, but I would want to highlight some of the factors that usually led to our bans, which the newbies, like myself, refused to accept.

You see, Bitcointalk is a faceless forum, which means you don't know who is behind a particular moniker unless they expose their identity, and the forum's goal was to assist everyone grasps the notion of Bitcoin. It was done with the intention of spreading information and understanding the significance of bitcoin, and as a result, everyone will always have an opinion on everything.
So, instead of becoming upset or irritated when someone says anything opposite to what you write, you either respond if you believe you are correct and provide further proof to back up your argument, or you ignore; you must not respond to every critic. This happens all the time, even outside of the forum and in academia, as long as there is a concept and our techniques of processing it aren't the same. You should always embrace them, they're a part of life, and you shouldn't be frightened by anybody.

Many people have abandoned the high rank you are so eager to get because they want to live, many have reached it and were banned due to certain mistakes. Anyone can be a beginner if they lack understanding about that subject, so don't be offended if they tag you as one. However, I have also got to realize that not every newbie is truly new, some may open an account and ask a specific question and that's it, you will never see them again in the forum.

You shouldn't regard any high-rank members as demi-gods simply because they are there, they all worked hard to get there. I personally don't get irritated by being bullied; you can say whatever you want, knowledge is more important, and you shouldn't feel bad when they correct you, it's part of the process. Even in an academic setting, your teacher will correct you not because he feigns ignorance.

We have always focused on how to rank up when we joined the forum, which is not a bad thing, but there are some things we don't take seriously, and that thing you are ignoring today may bring you down, it scares me so much that I hope I don't get involved even by mistake. If you fail to learn these things, you may just wake up one day and realize that your many years journey on the Bitcointalk forum is a wasted effort.
The rules that govern Bitcointalk are extensive; I will attempt to emphasize the ones that I feel are essential to me and any newcomer on the forum.

Plagiarism: copying and pasting other people's work on this forum is like signing your ticket to hell, plagiarizing is frowned upon. There is some level of plagiarism that is accepted in certain places but zero on Bitcointalk. So, My Friend, the sooner you join this forum, the better for you to accept this. Don't wait until you've accumulated hundreds of merits.

Scamming: It's the same as carrying a pistol and standing on the highway, you should never be tempted to loot from others, and don't claim to be someone you're not, it will only take a millisecond to obtain an immediate ban. negative trust.

Don't troll anyone, learn how to cohabit: There are some extremely reputable members on this site who, if they suspect you are trolling them, will not hesitate to give you negative feedback. So, while you are on the forum accumulating merits, don't upset anybody since negative feedback may cause you a lot of trouble.

In summary, bitcointalk.org is governed by rules and regulations; this is what has kept things in order, and I believe that when there are rules, one must follow them even if they are unpopular.
There is no sin where there is no law, but since this is a lawful community, don't go against them.

307  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / The introduction of NFT has made the world become selfish, called it adoption on: September 05, 2021, 10:50:49 PM
I wasn't an early cryptocurrency investor, but I recall many horrible things during the 2018 bear market, such as how the market was hopeless and how media news here and there were hurting all investors who had all gone into different alts, including those with a real use-case and those with a shady use-case. The big tech companies were all afraid of what bitcoin and altcoins would do to them because they feared losing customers, the media wasn't helping with their negative portrayal of cryptocurrency, it was so difficult to approve an ordinary ETF in the US that was rejected many times, which has now become the norm, and the SEC was never too friendly with cryptocurrency.
The rise of Non-fungible tokens and because of the large sums of money involved, the originality of artwork into NFTs has captivated everyone's interest, they call it adoption since they could easily use the corporate influence to produce paintings and auction them at a high price for art lovers, they call that an adoption, isn't that awkward and betraying?
This demonstrates that these firms only go where there is free money to be had from their consumers,  and I continue to find NFT uninteresting.
They are working hard to promote NFT as a trend, but I believe it is overhyped.

So, I tested positive for COVID-19.

Good times.

Feels like I've been absolutely smeared by an 18 wheeler.

Have not ever experienced cold or flu symptoms this harsh before.

I'll recover fine. No respiratory congestion at all so far, but Rick said his congestion started on day 3 of the infection, so, we'll see how things go. However, I think Rick did himself no favors with his infection, and ended up contracting secondary conditions because he was working, and not resting.

Thank you, China.

Assholes.

At least we'll both have natural immunity after I recover, so that's nice.

Bed-rest for me for at least the next week.

Have a great Sunday, friends.



I'm just scared of this shit and I am also scared of the vaccination due to reported cases of side reactions. I will soon be going for mandatory youth service as I'm done with undergraduate studies and everyone has to be tested  Huh Huh

There is no way to know your limit height in life if you never attempt, yet there is always a boundary to what an individual is capable of doing in any situation.
To enjoy your wealth, you must be physically and emotionally fit, not the other way around. Nobody enjoys his or her money unless they are in good health.
It is your primary responsibility as an investor to look after your health; investing in cryptocurrency should never put your life at risk; your investment should always prioritize your health because selling your properties, life savings, and everything into crypto is a foolish thing to do. What happens in a bear market, and then unanticipated health issues arise? How do you deal with this? It's sweet to invest in cryptocurrency because of the enormous return, but you can only enjoy that as a healthy investor; you can't enjoy your Lambo if you're sick.

I was reading through a thread on one particular board, but I couldn't find the link to the thread where the OP stated that no matter how hungry he was, he would not sell his bitcoin. Yes, he may be correct; that is the true power of diamond hands; however, this should not come at the expense of your health. I'm not saying you should sell all your bitcoin and eat healthy food, but I am advising you not to go hungry because it lowers your good health rate.

There are many unusual things we do that are harmful to our health; avoiding these will not only improve your health but will also help you maintain your physical and daily activities. These are the irregularities that we used to overlook in this space.

Not getting enough sleep: After staying all day, staring at your computer screen, trying to determine the next market movement, burning all of your energy chatting the trend with many lines and trying to explore the next thing that will double your portfolio, but failing to get some sleep after the daily routine, you are not only pushing your health to the wall, but you are also slowing down your immune system.
Getting adequate sleep sharpens your intellect, boosts your mood, and keeps you calm when making crucial decisions.

Not eating well: This is part is very crucial; food is an important part of life and having a delicious brunch and a balanced diet won't cost you much. You don't want to stay at your table all day sipping coffee; instead, have some nice, high-quality meals after work. You don't want to seem thin like a cancer patient.

Take a stroll and exercise: Some individuals are naturally introverted, so getting out might be difficult for them. However, this should not prevent you from exercising; sitting in one location for an extended period can make your job uninteresting and inefficient.

Don't quit your main work: so you invested some money and made a lot of money in a short amount of time and you chose to quit your job is a stupid decision. You might be lucky in a bull market and gain a lot of money, but the same can be lost in a bear market, leaving you with the option of holding with a loss because you need that job to survive the winter, and winters are always long. Make no steps that will cause you to second-guess yourself.

Stay healthy and keep learning.

312  Other / Off-topic / Re: Traditional Banks Vs Ponzi Schemes. on: September 03, 2021, 03:11:53 PM
One of the factors that defines a ponzi scheme is; Ponzi scheme have no plans of paying all their investors  incase they request simultaneously.
When signing up for a legally binding agreement, everyone used to ignore the terms and conditions, as well as the policy. Every bank has a policy that all customers must adhere to and obey. This is what keeps them out of consumer trouble.
Ponzi schemes, on the other hand, will make promises but then disappear with your money. Banks may be criminals, but Ponzi schemes are the true devil.
   
Quote
 -The Banks:
The entity called Bank has no money of her own, rather it is the peoples money. What will be the fate of the bank if all her depositors, including pensioners request their money same day. Will it not collapse as ponzi schemes do?
 A ponzi scheme do not have a product. Even if it has, It does not pay the investors from their profits, rather they pay older investors with the funds of newer investors.

My previous reply still applies here, Policies


Quote
Banks do not have products. They also do not pay customers with profits, rather with others deposits. I have this feeling that if I save $200 with a bank, then I request to withdraw $50, there is no place that $200 is seated that $50 would be subtracted from. The bank quickly will merge me with any current depositor. This may sound silly, but I believe something worse than this happens at their backoffice. Banks are however glorified because most of her customers (investors) do not want interest or profits (unlike the known ponzi schemes)rather they want safe keeping of their money. This is an expression permission to reap all and return the devalued capital without thanks.

Sorry to mention that banks have products because you use their debit and credit cards to conduct transactions; you pay for using these cards at their machines and online businesses and don't forget that some banks charge monthly fees for transaction alerts sent via SMS and email. They may appear insignificant, but they will add up to a significant sum of money in a month from thousands of consumers.
They also provide loan and borrowing services; have a look at the interest rates they charge clients in the short term. I neglected to mention point of sale; banks make a lot of money from retailers, both physical and online.


Quote
Ponzi schemes last longer if there is no panic: It is only when there is panic due to suspicion, rumours of police investigations that investors will demand their money, hence the failure will be facilitated.
The bank is stable and will continue to be stable because they do not experience such panics. Even when they encounter a bit of it, government will quickly intervene by assuring the masses that their monies are safe.

It's not about how long they can stay in fraud; it's about how much money they have to settle the circle of input and output deposits of customers. This is where Ponzi schemes always go wrong; they make sweet promises, and by the time they realize they can't manage the system anymore, they exit through the back door.
Banks may fail due to pressure from the government, central banks, and politics, rather than a failure to pay their clients.

Quote
In conclusion,  I have this feeling that there are some extent or outrightly, high street banks(not the central bank that mints money) are ponzi schemes, manipulating depositors against one another either by themselves or in conjunction with fellow banks and the government. If this is true;
Thank you Bitcoin!

This might be true though.
313  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Stuck transaction fee’s too low on: September 03, 2021, 02:23:34 PM

If a transaction has been flagged as RBF (Replaceable by fee), it can be replaced by a new one paying a higher fee.
Unfortunately, your transaction hasn't been flagged as RBF and cannot be replaced.



How does a transaction become flagged? I know that a transaction itself expired in some chains which require one to rerun the transaction with a huge fee but the fee is always taking by miner, is that same applicable to bitcoin?

$50K is being such a tease right now.
What's your country coordinated Universal Time (UTC)?
Bitcoin has been trading around $48k and $49k range, I am curious where you got $50k.

Huh?

It was at $50390 USD per bitcoin a little after 14:00 UTC at Bitstamp.

You should have allowed him reply, I already seen the update when bitcoin ticked $50k range and wasn't long because of high resistance and selling pressure around that range, was noon in my place when that price action occurred. We have time difference that's was why I asked about his time.

If 14 utc today was yesterday.




Exactamente..

Even if Chartbuddy does not know about $50,390, he surely knows about supra $50k



$50K is being such a tease right now.

I'm still not sure if he checked before making that post. Check the time difference between our darling chartbuddy and his post. It was just 11 minutes difference on September 3 Forum time, hence bitcoin was trading around $48k.

320  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / There is difference between proof of stake and locking of tokens on: August 30, 2021, 11:52:47 PM
It has become a norm that new projects now used proof of stake or the common phrase "stake" to deceive token holders who do not understand the distinction between proof of stake (POS) and token locking mechanisms.
Proof of stake is simply a consensus technique used by nodes to confirm transactions and protect the network from attacks, and they get a reward based on the quantity of that coin they hold. To be a node, you really need a number of coins to be allocated to the network before you can be one, which is why you can either be a node or simply delegate your coins to a node and simply get a reward, but you may be forced to pay a fee by staking with a node for maintenance cost.

Locking of tokens on the other hand is just what the team used as a tool to reduce the number of coins or tokens in circulation.  When the demand for tokens is low and there appears to be a lot of pressure on token sales on the market, they have no choice but to design a smart contract that locks tokens based on the duration token holders desire to lock their tokens. I've seen 14 days, 30 days, 120 days, 180 days, and annually as the most prevalent. The Annual percentage yield (APY) differs depending on your duration, the APY increases as the lock duration increases.
However, there are things they wouldn't tell you about locking of tokens and this is where things usually get ugly for unaware token holders.
  • Once your token is staked, you wouldn't get access to them until the locked period is over, and when the market is dumping, you can't do anything either.
  • Don't get carried away by the huge APY, that 3000% depends on the total amount of token lock. So as soon you see high APY, they get slash down as soon as everyone locked their tokens and you may end up with an APY of 20% and in any case 0f market dump, that's the beginning of your nemesis, so don't be greedy.
  • You should also know that locking tokens on some networks doesn't worth it especially Ethereum network, you may end up spending more than what you locked because the fee is so high, so stay safe and be vigilant.
