My friend also had this situation last time. I heard some advice from an old friend who has a full member rank: if the appeal has no response within a week then you should make a new account on different IP address and this time learn on your mistakes don't ever do what you did that causes you for being banned. A simple tip: Just Follow the Rules.
Please don't act smart when all of the members can read what you are posting as they will make you look dumber than you are used to. Creating a new account while your old account is banned is prohibited, what you are doing is simply called ban evasion. What you are saying about creating a new account with a new I.P. address clearly shows that you want to create an account undetected by the forum admins. If you really want to stick with your word here is the link for the rules in the forum, want to know more about Ban Evasion? Go to Forum Rule # 25.

I guess I was wrong about the Celtics. They just proved that even with an unexperienced team with a good young talents can potentialy win against a strong opponent. They just played very well, and I guess we'll gonna see different team in the finals.
You can't count out the Cavs since they are going home to clear up this series.
I can't believe they lost with James get 42 points tonight.
Seems like he is doing all the work while the others are just standing around watching him play. Undecided

I couldn't believe it either but what a fantastic turnaround from the third quarter by the Celtics. They totally outclassed the Cavs even after Lebron's heroics and i think they have a lot of work to do now that they are down by 2, that is if they have any chance of making it to the finals .
Lebron James is now also down from this point on of the series. Not unless he will want to have some kind of wake up call by not only himself but by other players in the team they won't defeat Boston Celtics. I mean come on Hayward and Kyrie Irving is not even in the roster, yet it looks like Boston is schooling the Cavaliers, don't hate me on this one but that is the reality we are seeing right now.
3063  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-05-15] German Bank Uses Bitcoin’s Blockchain for International Loans on: May 15, 2018, 04:57:18 PM
I am not aware of the name of such bank. But with further readings I decided to visit their own website and find out that it is indeed registered in Germany but this "banks" is of course available to foreigners. I can't officially call it as a bank because only the loaning service is made available to the public. Unlike real banks where they offer cash and checking accounts, Treasury and cash management services, and Credit Card availability BitBond does not, I can't even call it as a real bank.

Also the fund they are getting is from people who are interested in investing in their platform, which they are offering 25% per annum, Which is really big to be given buy a bank, the numbers are really big and is almost unsustainable in the future.
3064  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: The Law of Blockchain: Beyond Government Control? on: May 14, 2018, 03:09:47 PM
What I care about more is how they will established the laws related to the technology and you must be tackling two kinds of law here namely international and domestic laws and the former is the important one if you really want to set some kind of standard for the Blockhchain technology.  Right now we are only seeing individual countries creating some laws to affect only their country if the U.N. formed some kind of treaty on setting up some kind of standard when it comes to Blockchain and a lot of countries are involve then this countries can individually create a framework based on their signed treaty. With these standards taken place this countries will now know what to do.

Sent an account recovery email almost two weeks ago and havent heard back. Any updates?


I have also been waiting for a respons from admin about my account, haven't been able to access it for a while now
If you have sent emails on both tech support emails without getting any reply for some time then the next thing you can do is try sending a personal message to SDmod he is officially working with SafeDice and the recent problems are handled by him, although there is no guarantee that you will have a reply from him either as he is also not active in the forum.
3066  Economy / Speculation / Re: John McAfee Reiterates That Bitcoin with get to $1 million MINIMUM by 2020 on: May 14, 2018, 10:34:34 AM
He said around 2:39 - 2:44 of the video that:
Quote
I promise you 1 Million Dollars is the lowest it can possibly be, I'm gonna win this bet

Talking about self-confidence, this man is predicting numbers without any good basis and saying early on in the interview that this is his "most safest bet" which I don't know what that means, his made up basis was "working backwards starting from 1 trillions $" which he thinks that the lowest outcome is 1 million $ per BTC. I don't think that he is reliable when it comes to predicting prices as his last attempt at 2017, he predicted BTC to end 2017 at a price of 5,000$ which is way off from the real price (16,700$), the bad thing is he used his wrong prediction to create a "new model" predicting that BTC will go up to 1 million dollars instead.
3067  Other / Meta / Re: 100 Days of Merit on: May 14, 2018, 08:34:05 AM
I think that the decrease in merits receives is due a lot of the non-merit source users have exhausted their sMerits to give while some are still keeping their sMerits as like what you have said earning Merits is now pretty hard. During the first few weeks of the ongoing system we saw a lot of users sending 30 to 50 sMerits (which is the maximum a member can give to another user) to worthless post but the bright side of that is they become a suspect for cheating the system and was tagged immediately by some DT members.

Even with the lack of merits to give I do still think that there is no need to add more merit-sources for now as we still need more time for the merit system to do its thing which is to reduce spam and create more sensible post.

Hi, for some reason my account keeps saying invalid log in when I try to log in, I even changed password and still saying it, and using my google authenticator, please can someone help?

Hi anyone can help? I have emailed support a couple of times too!
I think no one can help you as their current representative  in the forum which is wetsuit, also is the owner of the site, hasn't been active for a while his last active log in from Bitcointalk was on March 31, 2018 and only he can give you the right answers to your problem. We the members here can only guess what you are experiencing which in my opinion is that your account might be banned from the site.

Millennials Are Buying Cryptocurrencies to Save For Retirement

Among millennials, the cryptocurrencies investment trend is gaining momentum for retirement purposes. Moreover, as tech-savvy millennials are shunning traditional banking methods, innovative startups are creating new retirement solutions powered by blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies.

http://bitcoinist.com/millennials-are-buying-cryptocurrencies-to-save-for-retirement/
I can relate to this in my school it is pretty evident that more and more young people are getting into investing not only into stocks but also into the new cryptocurrency market. It must be due to them becoming self-aware on the realities in life that school loans are big, being unemployed is a possibility, and in general money is not easy to be earned. But most of these millennials always think of putting their money into something without the patience and plan to come with, most of them even start buying cryptocurrencies first before even learning how to trade, some of the hodlers even cut their losses on the first sight of red in their portfolio.

This is one of the bad things for tech-savy millennials they will believe everything they will see in the internet, that is how they have started investing in cryptocurrencies but this could also be their end. A lot of them will join Facebook groups and telegram channels believing that every buy recommendation is true without even confirming with themselves because they don't have that ability to do so.
3070  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What address type should I choose? Segwit? on: May 13, 2018, 02:49:30 PM
I'll still go for the Legacy Address as of the moment as currently the network fees are way more cheaper compared to last 3 months ago but if the fees becomes unreasonable again then you can simply shift your payments using your segwit wallet. The desktop version of Electrum allows you to have several wallets whether it is Legacy or Segwit.
But why would you do that?

What are the disadvantages of using a Segwit address?

I do only know one: Claiming shit forked coins.

Although they impose quite a huge risk of losing any holdings (i.e. 'newcomers' trying to claim then without any security in mind), they are still very popular.
A few bucks seem to be worth more than security and privacy.
I am not saying that SegWit addresses have a disadvantage but in my current situation where I am not a big and frequent spender I don't see myself benefiting from transferring all my holdings to my segwit wallet, I do keep some BTC in my segwit wallet even before the network fees got ridiculously high.

.. but if the fees becomes unreasonable again then you can simply shift your payments using your segwit wallet.

The reason you want to have your BTC on an segwit address is that you have them already there when fees got 'unreasonable' again.
If you still have to move them to an segwit address you do have to pay the higher fee. This fee would be even higher if you didn't consolidate your UTXO's by then.
I won't have this problem as I am still keeping some BTC in my SegWit Wallet, so if ever the fees got high again, I'll be using what I stored in my SegWit Wallet.

3072  Economy / Economics / Re: 7 REASONS WHY: which one are you? on: May 13, 2018, 11:02:00 AM
I agree to what other members have said earlier, The ability to pay Bitcoin directly from address to address is merely incidental to my main point of keeping Bitcoin. I used Bitcoin mainly to earn money from trading other cryptocurrencies or BTC to USD or Vice Versa and the benefit of sending Bitcoin is like just an option or added benefit of keeping Bitcoin for me. I know it is not the purpose of Bitcoin in the first place but I will be dumb if I didn't take advantage of Bitcoin's price movement. Money can be made just by trading and I don't want my money to lie idle in my wallet.
3073  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 13, 2018, 07:19:01 AM
Is it just me or Bitcoin is forming a big cup ad handle pattern? At the 4 hour chart the Cup started around March 12 (9,815$) and ended on May 5 (9,850$) and now we are currently forming the handle. Bitcoin is looking very bearish right now and the cup and handle is the only thing I am seeing as a bullish sign in Bitcoin. And speaking how the way it looks where the cup is not well rounded as it should be forming  and with the candles forming like a "W" shape as a based I don't think even if we break out this up trend reversal won't last or will it even break the 11,700$ resistance. A Good Cup and Handle patterns should follow the well-rounded shape where the candles won't stray away from the formation which in this case is not.
3074  Other / Meta / Re: Theymos Doesn't love the Forum Anymore ?? !!!!! on: May 12, 2018, 05:39:21 PM
Can any OG member or staff or moderator answer the following question? If posts are reported in sections that don't have mods, how are those posts handled? Do they go to a global queue of some sort for other mods to handle these submissions? If so, then would it be beneficial for users to report posts in these mod-less boards, or would their reports be pointless?
These are either handled by Global Mods(Grue,Hilariousandco,Salty ,rickbig41,mrprep) or by admins(theymos,cyrus). Though these reports may not be handled immediately but they get handled soon enough(I am totally assuming the end part based on what I have read  Lips sealed).

Edit: Damn it jackg,you beat me to it Undecided
But I do not think that Global Mods can handle unmoderated local boards effectively (not unless they are multilingual), First of all every local boards use the language of their own country, reporting a post which is not an exact copy of another will make it hard for the global mod to know if that reported post is plagiarized or not. The language barrier itself won't make the job easy for them as this job must be handled by someone who can write and speak in their native tongue.
3075  Economy / Gambling / Re: BITDICE - 🎲🎲🎲 Treasure Chest Is Back! 🎰🎰🎰 on: May 12, 2018, 06:47:22 AM
Is there any chance CSNO will get listed to another (hopefully bigger) exchange?  It isn't trading up to its full potential on HitBTC imho.  It needs more volume.


The listing fees on some exchanges are pretty ridiculous so I wouldn't consider it worth it investing huge money on that to be honest. We haven't been discussing other exchanges for now but perhaps in the future.

I just realized CSNO is only one one exchange. That is into that good. Since exchange can close from different reasons.  Fees on some top exchanges are big, but I am sure on some smaller exchanges are not. Integration of ethereum token is one of easiest.
I agree some Altcoins being added too major exchanges like Binance or Poloniex help the Altcoin increase in both traded volume as well as its price, but let us remember that it is hard for the developer's side as well on looking and setting up to be listed on several exchanges. Some ICO's even after a month or two after the end of their pre-sales are not even listed in any exchange. 
3076  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: [GUIDE] Main information about the most popular exchanges! on: May 12, 2018, 04:48:38 AM
You have a good list however I recommend you to add more information to help your fellow members more on picking their exchage. I have included some things you might consider adding in the list.
  • Account Limits - Minimum and Maximum Withdrawals
  • Commissions and Charges per transaction
  • KYC - Yes/No
  • Verification Limits - Yes/No
  • Bank Wire option - Yes/No
  • Accepts foreign traders
This are some information that if you chose to provide it will certainly help newbies pick what exchange is suited for them as they will see the difference of one another.
3077  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-05-10]Extreme Hodling - $10 Billion Worth of Bitcoin in Underground Vaults on: May 10, 2018, 07:45:41 PM
I don't think its in any way extreme as I see it necessary to what they are holding which is 10 billion dollars and it is not to be kept around online or desktop storages, you want that kind of money to be isolated in a secure place. Remember if anyone can be online and has access to what you are storing the chances are they can steal what you are storimg away. Protecting our valuables is practiced way before even this happened that is why we have metal doors and safety deposit boxes as we all know there is no such thing as extra security when it comes to our valuables.
3078  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think the whales are manipulating the markets on: May 10, 2018, 06:53:46 PM
The answer to your question is sometimes, whales are not the only reason why the price of Bitcoin is moving they are just the ones who can make big pumps and dumps happen. When you are observing your trading platform on occasion you will see some Bid Walls being broke down and Ask walls being bought up quickly, this is due some whale actions doing in that exchanges. They can quickly pierce to buy and sell walls at ease, but the problem I am seeing is we cannot accurately know what the whales are exactly doing or what is there next move. We only have our charts and trading platforms to see if there are some big changes happening which we can link to whales.
3079  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 10, 2018, 05:58:44 PM
Now what?
Now we HODL. No doubt that this will happen the bulls failed many times going above 9,400$ which is our first roadblock on going back to 9,600$, definitely people have seen the hourly ascending wedge formation and by completing it we had a break down and drop by 150$ in just 15 minutes, this is just a small drop as even the volume is not there to make a significant dent on the dip. Our next move is of course to spot the next bullish signs and formations that Bitcoin will make.  
3080  Other / Meta / Re: Why is reference to "bitcointalk.org" triggering a filter in Wikipedia? on: May 10, 2018, 01:56:58 PM
The good thing about this is Bitcointalk can be removed from the blacklist of Wikipedia as stated in their Blocked External Links page. And if you really want to add Bitcointalk as a source for your edits you must follow this steps as stated in the article, but I do think that a forum admin or moderator has more weight on the request based on the Bold text below.
Quote
Request that a site be removed from the blocked list entirely
If the site is on the meta blocked list, you must make your request at m:talk:Spam blacklist. Requests here will be summarily closed.

If the site is on the local blocked external links list, then add your request here. Please provide the following details:

1. The web address of the site you would like removed from the list (omit the http and www parts)
2. The reason(s) why links to the site should be allowed, and would benefit Wikipedia
3. The article or articles on which the links would be used
4. If you are connected to the site, then please declare this at this point. Failure to do so will, if discovered, be treated negatively.

Also in my opinion I do think that Bitcointalk is blacklisted as it is a forum site (a lot of forum sites are listed on the blacklist of wikipedia) and forum sites tend to have a lot of spam as well as unreliable sources that can't be used as sources (at least that is how Wikipedia views it). Just like why wikipedia is blocking off many blogspot sites as their information tends to be unreliable and is not worthy to become a source.
