3021  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Transfer from binance.us to binance.com on: June 13, 2021, 03:26:18 AM
If I understand, by users, you mean you have two separate accounts on the two platforms and wish to know if you can transfer between them?
Are you a U.S citizen, cause I remember U.S citizens had their binance.com account blocked and needed to transfer funds to the U.S based platform.

Can i buy crypto in binance.us and send them to binance.com without issues? Is it recommended?
Yes, ideally transfers can be made between both platforms as normal.
3022  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The Culture Around Bitcoin and Liberty on: June 13, 2021, 03:11:30 AM
But I need to notice that, in the war of "U$" against "Them", in a war for freedom, we need a strong culture. To conquer it and keep it.

I'm proposing that we take a closer look on this subject. It's quite hard to fight tyranny with just a feel, and people with social knowledge, with philosophy, ethical and legal skills are required.  
Bitcoin already has a strong culture, or something related to it. A community where everyone is free to make their own choices and use it the way they like. There is no group of elites who can make decisions or create sponsored learning groups. Bitcoin is already a global topic and anyone who desires freedom would gravitate towards it.

The best place to start is probably the whitepaper or wiki pages ( eg the bitcoin wiki at bitcoin.it and normal Wikipedia år epretty good for giving simple, to the point but useful information on topics and links the provide external references/information).
The Bitcoin whitapaper may be a bad place to start. It contains lots of complex information and calculations that would be gibberish to a complete noob. Bitcoin wiki would be helpful, but the user would also benefit from being a part of a group, like this; where they can freely ask questions and learn from discussions.
3023  Other / Meta / Re: RECOMMENDATION FOR GENERATING FUNDS on: June 12, 2021, 07:41:49 AM
I believe if the above recommendations is implemented, the forum will have enough fund in maintaining this forum.
Asides the fact that these ideas are pretty bad and goes against the ideologies behind Bitcoin, the forum has enough funds and the donation option has been disabled for a while now, cause the forum does not need donations.

You've made quite a number of threads about how you feel the forum should be run, I understand this is a community driven forum, but allow the admins to do their job and focus more on the purpose of this community; a platform for discussing Bitcoin and crypto related topics.
3024  Other / Meta / Re: How to delete an account from dashboard on: June 12, 2021, 06:00:28 AM
This happened to my friend that he created an account on forum and when he got in, there is a red note on top of his page means banned and needed to pay some btc. I just told him to create account not using their wifi and create somewhere else then boom he got an account that isnt ban.
This example doesn't show that the evil points decayed, as it happens very slowly and your friend would be waiting a long time to be able to freely open an account. As you said he switched from using a public WiFi to a more personal connection, which means changing IP address, so he simply moved from an IP with evil points to one without.

Note that evil points associated with a particular IP reduces with time, but when an account is already created from that region and associated with some units of evil, the user needs to pay to enable posting as the evil points linked to an account does not decay with time.
3025  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What prevents someone from "giving" themselves more Bitcoin? on: June 11, 2021, 07:43:12 PM
but let's say I have a cold wallet with 1 bitcoin on it. Could someone somehow change the code in a way and make it into 2 bitcoin? Like to me it just seems like a number that represents the number of bitcoin you have.

Thank you for bearing with my stupid question, but it's been bugging me for a bit.
No question is stupid and everyone always has something to learn from every discussion.
About changing the protocol, this can not possibly be done by any single person, if it could, then Bitcoin would have little or no value as everyone can create their own. Each coin is immutable and non fungible.

Changes in the protocol are possible, but it's first out forward as proposals and requires consensus to be valid and to reflect on the Bitcoin chain, otherwise a split chain might occur.
Each transaction is first validated by nodes to ensure the inputs involved are valid, before becoming available for miner's confirmation.
3026  Other / Meta / Re: How to delete an account from dashboard on: June 11, 2021, 05:18:36 PM
I think your creating account not able to posting anything. Because this forum banned for your country.
Saying the forum is banned in a country is wrong. Evil IP works to restrict users from creating new accounts if they get banned, so if an account gets banned, a certain level of evil is assigned to the IP address to discourage newer accounts being opened, this units of evil also affects neighboring IPs so nearby users may need to pay a fee to post on the forum, but a whole country does not get banned, it could simply be that a large number of people from a region has been using the forum wrongly.

Note that the level of evil decays overtime.
3027  Other / Meta / Re: Why no Admin do something against this fucking bots? on: June 11, 2021, 01:59:38 PM
From your topic do mod now give preferential treatment to some users like senior members than the newbies? Maybe newbies are restricted as a result of an abuse of it.
To an extent newbies are restricted, because due to the ease of creating an account on the forum, spammers and bots can scale through and post on the forum, this group makes up a number of new members. Forr this reason, posting/pm limit is reduced and newbies are restricted from joining campaigns.
This does not mean they are less preferred, any member who joins the forum for the purpose of learning would not be bothered about the restrictions, which reduce with time and increased activity.

I've not noticed any abuse against newbies, since newbie jail was removed the admins has made efforts to make the forum welcoming to newer members. Maybe more merit sources in designated boards are needed as well as the newbie welcome message, but there's no stringent restrictions.

You are right if exchanging low amount of Bitcoin, but bitmover mentioned buying $200000 worth of bitcoin, this is what can be bought easily on binance with high trading volume, but it might be difficult on Bisq.
This is not a problem with bisq or any other P2P network. It's rather a result of people's choice to more frequently use centralized platforms with growing user reach, limiting decentralized exchanges. If more people used such platforms, it would increase market acceptance.


What if someone want to buy $500000 worth if bitcoin.
It would be unfavourable and difficult to sell such amounts on low volume platforms.
There are also OTC options on centralized exchanges.
3029  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Privacy enhancing strategy on centralized exchanges possible? on: June 10, 2021, 10:40:07 PM
I know that anyone can safely send 200,000 usd to binance and buy many bitcoins there. But would you trust any forum member such a high amount? Many trusted members may just get Val and exit scam. Binance won't,  because that isn't much for them.
Trusting a third party to mediate between Bitcoin transactions goes against the idea of a trust less system which Bitcoin was created to be. Binance has a good reputation like some other centralized exchanges, but functions almost like a bank;
• Requires user data,
• Answers to the government and can submit your details to them,
• Can restrict users from transacting at any point in time, etc.

Platforms like bisq which are decentralized does not need any form of trust, you simply need to understand how Bitcoin works and what a multi sig wallet is.
3030  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Unpopular Opinion: Invest in Alt Coins to Accumulate More Bitcoin on: June 10, 2021, 08:08:27 PM
These projects with sound principles are your key to getting that full Bitcoin. If it is not feasible for you to save enough cash to get an amount on your own, this is an incredible option.
No one needs to save enough cash to get a full bitcoin, you do not need to save in fiat at all, DCA is an ideal strategy to build up your Bitcoin stash according to your income rate.

but for many of the people I know, obtaining 1 full coin with cash/income alone won't cut it.
You do not need to get one full bitcoin, it's a target people like to talk about, but when investing you work with your available capital using risk management. If Bitcoin goes up 50% every one holding Bitcoin regardless of the fractional amount gets 50% growth in their investment.
3031  Other / Meta / Re: Need help on: June 09, 2021, 09:25:47 PM
Did you click on the - icon besides the meta general board. Clicking that would hide all the boards under 'other', such as meta, beginners and help etc.

You'll have to click on the + sign to restore it.

You could have also changed your settings to hide meta board. To change this setting, go to your profile, click on 'ignore board preference' and untick meta. Although, I believe in this case, meta would not show up in forum searches.
3032  Other / Meta / Re: Should some Bitcointalk's rules change now? on: June 09, 2021, 04:36:38 AM
this has been discussed in the previous years and members are saying that it wouldn't be fair to the people who donated 50btc or 10 BTC to get the donator or the VIP status and besides I think the status has become a perk for the early donators of the forum.
I agree. It could be seen as perks for early adopters who were very influential in supporting the Bitcoin network to get to what it is today, lowering the bar to accommodate more people is not ideal and not necessary in my opinion.

Now let’s see if this rule is too harsh. As the price of Bitcoin gets higher and higher, it is getting harder and harder to reach this level.
But it's not really a rule, no one has to become a donator or VIP except they want to. Donations are also not needed by the forum anymore (partly due to early donation, besides funds directly generated by the forum).
3033  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The views of developed countries with developing countries on bitcoin on: June 09, 2021, 03:43:13 AM
That has been the definition of "government" all around the world. They just have different levels of dictatorship but they all seek full control and "oppose freedom". It is not specific to China and their government.
Fully agree, I didn't state that power greed was specific to China; control is a part of ruling a group of people. I was only trying to correct the idea that developed countries are receptive to Bitcoin as opposed to underdeveloped ones, cause there are many examples which proves otherwise.
3034  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where is giveaway thread? on: June 08, 2021, 09:00:18 PM
I want to earn free BTC
Earn is to acquire thorough your effort, it's basically what you deserve. Earn and free do not go together.
If you wish to earn Bitcoins then offering a service is the best way to go. Bitcoin is a valuable asset and people are willing to pay you for a service you can render. Signature campaigns are an option, but you need to offer value to the campaign you are applying for, this is by your posting habit.

To get free bitcoins, maybe join a giveaway contest, like the one you applied for in your most recent post. I would however advice you that looking to milk the forum straight out of the bat is a bad look and would limit you from actually benefiting from this forum.
3035  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The views of developed countries with developing countries on bitcoin on: June 08, 2021, 08:05:51 PM
Personally speaking, maybe yes, but what happened was not as expected, the Chinese state limited bitcoin because of the large amount of hidden data, so it was feared that many hackers would attack, due to increasingly powerful resources.
There is no hidden data on Bitcoin, all transactions and addresses are public and traceable. Governments which ban Bitcoin do so because they fear the freedom of the citizens and use money as a medium to control the public. Hackers and scammers can use other sources to carry out their activities.
3036  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Looking escrow that support accounts on: June 08, 2021, 04:09:30 PM
I will select only best reputation users.
No escrow with a good reputation on the forum would mediate account sales as it is frowned upon and would hurt his/her reputation. Account sales are discouraged and sometimes attract flags or red trust, there's also high risk of getting scammed as you will likely not get a reliable escrow.
Better to get a personal account and use that. If you need a higher ranked account to maybe post images or send higher number of PMs, copper membership would give those privileges
3037  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The views of developed countries with developing countries on bitcoin on: June 08, 2021, 04:04:03 PM
Personally, I think the distinction is not due to the level of development but rather the style of leadership (when it comes to Bitcoin). Developed nations like China, with one of the world's best economies is hostile to cryptocurrencies while far less developed nation's are very accommodating. This is cause the Chinese government is a restrictive one, and opposes the freedom and transparency which Bitcoin offers.

Governments which are transparent and progressive (developed or not) would create a welcoming development for Bitcoin.
3038  Economy / Reputation / Re: Forum made *Legendary Member on: June 08, 2021, 03:05:44 PM
Legendary member rank unlocked.
I had stopped paying attention to this thread for a while, but noticed I achieved the legendary member rank today after a couple of years on the forum. Rank doesn't translate to knowledge and there's so much to learn in the crypto space, so we're all kind of newbies (or I am  Grin), but it feels good to reach the highest forum rank.

Special regards to Cryptopreneurbrainboss and other members who considered some of my posts to be mrit worthy, and a for lower ranks members; I wasn't considered a single merit to be an irksome task, but if you can get one, you can get 1000.
3039  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Let's say you have a large amount of BTC and you on: June 08, 2021, 02:56:13 PM
I guess that he wanted to say diversify portfolio. I guess that there aren't many ways yet to buy stocks or properties with Bitcoin.
I guessed so. I wasn't quite correcting the OP, but rather the idea that exchanging other assets to Fiat is a form of investment or the pure form of all assets. Some people still consider fiat in the bank to be a form of investment.

That's not easy even with mixers. You just mix it with another bitcoin address but how will you go out to cash?
It's still the same. The trace will be the exit point where you would sell your bitcoin to another person and he would need all your details for that to happen.
Op was probably talking about how to convert without it being linked to the original source of the Bitcoins. If mixed into different addresses and spent in bits, there would be no link to the original transaction.

As you know, Bitcointalk doesn't have resizing buttons available when you create new posts.
I'm aware there is no specific button for resizing, but entering a text into the image tags would adjust the image sized, such as what k used in the image linked above:
Code:
[img height=120]https://i.imgur.com/Fssg7Uo.jpg[/img][hr]
Not sure if it's what you're referring to.


On bitcointalk, even if you prove image plagiarism, and plagiarist admits it, he still won't get banned
It could be the mods prefer not to interfere in image plagiarism as it's a grey area, so they rather avoid making a decision. It would be better to hear directly from a mod, if it's a ban-able offense.
