Nisam ni ja gledao novi TopGun ali sumnjam da će biti dobar.
Mislim da to dosta ovisi o tome da li ti je prvi Top Gun bio dobar. Ako je (meni je super, iako znam da je to obicna propaganda), vrlo vjeropjatno ce ti biti dobar i nastavak jer igra na nostalgiju. Dosta frendova ga je pogledalo (svi fanovi originala i 40+) i apsolutno svima je film bio super tako da i ja ocekujem isto.


60-godišnji starac Tom Cruise nakon mnogo plastičnih operacija ponovno leti, nije mi realno, isto kao i starci Schwarzenegger i Linda Hamilton u filmu Terminator Dark Fate Tongue
Film je sniman 2018-2019 tako da je Cruise bio par godina mladji a cak i da je sniman ove godine, 60 nije prestaro za vojnog pilota (recimo nas Selak je do 57 godine bio vojni pilot). A sto je jos najbitnije, Tom Cruise je u brutalnoj formi, covjek je totalni manijak kad je u pitanju fizicka sprema tako da je garant fizicki spremniji nego 95% ekipe mladje od 40 godina koji uglavnom skupljaju mast pred kompjuterom/tvom te bez problema moze proci kao netko od 50 godina. Svi znamo za Cruisa da je cudak, ali vec dugo godina nema veceg filmskog profesionalca od njega, stuntovi koje on radi rijetko tko od glumaca bi se usudio izvesti.

Tako da, usporedba Cruisa sa Svarcijem (koji je imao 70 i nesto kad je sniman zadnji Terminator) i Lindom koja se skroz ofucala bas i ne stoji.

 
Da znam za sva ta swapanja, ali posto nisam citao strip niti namjeravam, to me ne pogadja. Da sam fan, e to bi bila skroz drukcija prica i vjerojatno bi popizdio na to ali ovako me nije previse briga dok god serija funkcionira.

And for me traveling to a place where you can transact anything with bitcoin get me so curious to fly there and give it a shot on how bitcoin environment built there. It's a curiousity that makes people like me could splash the money to travel to el salvador to feel the experience by myself.
Fair enough, but how many bitcoiners like you know, that are willing to travel to another country just to experience spending some bitcoin directly? From my experience, not many "bitcoiners" actually spend bitcoin even when they can and instead they chose to rather spend fiat so I doubt that El Salvador can attract many bitcoin-tourists that way.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind going to some country where I can spend bitcoin directly (as a matter of fact I did something relatively similar to that few times, going for a vacation to a foreign country and paying everything with crypto debit card only) but that location should offer me more stuff than just having bitcoin as a legal tender.

3083  Other / Meta / Re: For mods - be a little more careful when handling reports on: August 08, 2022, 06:06:00 PM
I'm not aware of how reports are handled, but there could be a possibility that a mod makes a mistake while trying to take action on a report, marking it as bad rather than good. Such an oversight could be the reason for the obvious wrong calls.
Mistake I saw happening the most often (at least to me) is that every once in a while report gets marked as good, while no action is taken. Since all this is done manually, no surprise that every once in a while mods forget to delete the post.


Great, that's a mini reassurance for all of us.
Lucius may now sleep well tonight Grin
I don't think that few reports marked as bad was a major concern for Lucius, but the fact that Bitcoin Discussion board is full of topics and posts that shouldn't be there.

A ja sam bio sam zabrinut da si prestao gledati filmove, ali u pravu si kad si rekao da nema ništa posebno dobro za gledati.
A da, lose ljeto. Ja cekam da ovaj novi Top Gun dodje u "videoteke", kad vec nisam isao gledati u kino.


Gledao sam Prey, i nije loš ali mislim da je mogao trajati kraće, i opet malo guraju novu priču o jakim ženama i slabim muškarcima, ali nije loš kontrast sa Schwarzeneggerom.
Dugacak film a traje samo cca sat i 40? Sta je toliko dosadan da se cini dug? I da, ocekujem da se gura woke agenda i u tom filmu.



@Trofo pogledao sam prve cetiri The Sandman epizode i za sada mi je dosta dobro, meni osobno najbolja ekranizacija necega od Neila Gaimana. Nisam doduse citao strip tako da nemam pojma koliko je vjeran originalnom predlosku ali meni bas sjeda, a pogotovo glavni lik koji mi je ugodno iznenadjenje jer sam ocekivao nesto skroz drugo kad sam vidio neke slike na IMDbu.
3085  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador claim bitcoin attracts tourists right or wrong? on: August 07, 2022, 05:08:08 PM
Do you think 15 bitcoin worth of transaction is a small figure with respect to USD, when you do the conversion you will discover that it's a reasonable amount at least on just a single entity made for transaction.
I think that you misunderstood what @Accardo  wrote; that hotel owner didn't have 15 BTC worth of transactions, but overall 15 bitcoin transactions which is entirely different thing and far from impressive.



I know quite a few bitcoiners in real life who regularly go to exotic locations and I never heard any of them wanting to go to El Salvador just because bitcoin is a legal tender there and I gotta say that fact would be very low on my priority list when choosing for a next vacation location. So yeah, I don't think that bitcoin attracts many tourists there.


3086  Other / Archival / Re: Scamfari - Report a scam and earn money on: August 07, 2022, 08:49:49 AM
Hmm, getting a bit concerned that everyone is talking about the money, hell, nobody got paid for the thousands of reports in the Scam section, and nobody got paid for thousands of posts reported on this forum, why focus on the money?
Well, that's not entirely true as majority of scambusters are in signature campaigns so in the end they are getting paid for their activity.


NFT period got nothing on ICO period when it came to scams that were being reported here.
Key word is "here". The only reason why less scams are reported here than before its because less scammy projects are making announcement threads here.



Scamfari report system looks very easy to abuse with fake reports (you create another Telegram account and then just make bs conversation using new wallet that you created just for that purpose and if i learned something so far is that if something can be abused for personal gain, it most certainly will.

You are right, he is banned now, but he asked a question, he can just browse this forum online and check this thread to know the right the to do. This thread can still be helpful for him.
Seeing that he got banned for multiple plagiarism, this topic was probably a merit fishing thing and not a genuine interest so I doubt that he really cared about the answers here.

@Pmalek nisi pomijesao, to je druga sezona. Samo bilo bi dobro da maknes spoilere jer mozda ima onih koji jos nisu gledali zicu (ma kako nevjerojatno to zvucalo).
3089  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is the Coinbase wallet safe? on: August 06, 2022, 08:07:19 AM
Are you really serious about asking about Coinbase wallet, I think the answer to your question is easy.
If you go to google about Coinbase wallet, there are hundreds of reviews that say as below.
Just because Coinbase is well known and used by many, it doesn't mean that people shouldn't be careful and asking questions as if learned anything from crypto so far is that no exchange is too big to fail, including Coinbase. I am not saying that Coinbase wallet is not safe, but imho there are safer options out there.

You could do the same for Celsius and results would be very much similar, everyone thought that it was perfectly safe as it was heavily regulated and we know how that ended up. So yeah, better be safe than sorry.

Mislim da Rikafip i ostali članovi spavaju i ne gledaju više filmove  Smiley
Ma gledam ja filmove redovno, nego nisam pogledao nista u zadnje vrijeme da me toliko izulo iz cipela da bi mogao preporuciti ovdje.  A Prey ce se uskoro gledati, iako ne ocekujem puno.


Prije dosta godina sam pogledao legendarnu seriju i jednu od najboljih koju sam ikad gledao The Wire.
Zica je meni osobno nabolja serija ikad snimljena, pravo remek djelo. Gledao sam ju najmanje 5 ili 6 puta do sada i svakih par godina pogledam iz pocetka i svaki put mi je sve bolja i bolja. To se posebno odnosi na drugu sezonu koja mi je na prvo gledanje bila najslabija (ali i dalje jako dobra) da bi mi trenutno to bila najbolja sezona uopce.








3091  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is the Coinbase wallet safe? on: August 04, 2022, 05:38:27 PM
I've been allocating some savings to BTC. I keep seeing exchanges fall, and not your keys not your coin. I've been using the Coinbase wallet app. Is that safe?

 If Coinbase goes down am I out?
 I need to look into a cold wallet but for right now am I good?
If I am you, I would rather store my BTC on a open-source non-custodial wallets like Electrum until you get one of the hardware wallets (which I suggest you get as soon as possible, especially if you already have decent amount of BTC).



If you didn't have your keys while storing your crypto on that wallet which means not your coins.  All centralized exchanges aren't ideally good for storing our crypto assets in a long term, all of them are prone to scams that might end up shutting down.
He is not storing his bitcoin on Coinbase, but on their wallet which is a non-custodial.
3092  Other / Meta / Re: Report plagiarism (copy/paste) here. Mods: please give temp or permban as needed on: August 04, 2022, 05:29:59 PM
I found the relax rule on image plagiarism rule considerate. Image plagiarism does not generally have a strict consequences like the word plagiarism in the secular world compare with academics, so I find the relax approach accomodating. If we may care to know, how many images do we find on the forum?. Asides quoting the source, paraphrasing is not allowed in image, we should not stress this except in signature plagiarism.
I agree with the forum's more lenient stance when it comes to sharing images, but I still think that there should be some punishment for explicitly claiming ownership of the image like some people did. People were getting permanently banned for copying one sentence while some were creating the whole topics about images that are not their own and even making bs stories about putting up for sale, and nothing happened and that is just wrong.
3093  Other / Meta / Re: NFT subforum? on: August 02, 2022, 08:29:16 PM
Yeah but our intention was to clear to make some order in our local forum, making it better and cleaner.
Those asking for NFT subforum probably have the same intention. Anyway, my point was that people shouldn't stop asking for new subforums/features/merit source positions as sometimes those requests are approved.


With NFT board I would expect mostly spammers posting their new ''art'' projects.
Probably, if that subforum gets moderated the way rest of the altcoin section is. Imho, altcoin section should either be completely closed or properly cleaned and reorganized because at the current state it doesn't serve any purpose. As I said in my previous post, I do think that bitcointalk is missing opportunity to attract those who are more into altcoins and turn them into bitcoiners.
3094  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance Visa Cards Are Now Available in Europe on: August 02, 2022, 08:16:00 PM
I just noticed that Binance enabled using spot wallet as a sort of backup when you don't have enouygh money on funding wallet. I don't know about the others, but I like the new feature as it happened to me a couple of times to get card rejected because I forgot to move more funds, and then I couldn't use the card until I get to my computer.


When your Funding Wallet balance is insufficient to pay for a transaction, the system will automatically use the funds from your Spot Wallet to pay for the full amount of the transaction. However, if your Spot Wallet balance is also insufficient, the transaction will be declined.
The system will deduct assets from your Spot Wallet using the same sequence of spending currencies you set for your Funding Wallet.



By the way, how's everyone satisfied with the card lately? I don't know what Binance did, but I don't remember last time (it has to be at least 9-10 months) I got the card declined so at least for me it looks like that they sorted that issue that was very annoying as you always had to have a backup card or some cash with you.
3095  Other / Meta / Re: NFT subforum? on: August 02, 2022, 05:48:30 AM
I have read people suggesting features to be added, requesting local boards and others requesting to be merit sources. So, of recent has theymos granted any of such kinds of requests or applications. If yes, please comment and provide me links.
Year and a half ago we (Croatian local board) got a new child board after creating request topic here in meta so its not like nothing can be done or that people shouldn't ask for features or new local boards. And same thing regarding the merit sources, as theymos introduced new ones year ago and there will certainly be new merit sources in the future as merit system is constantly adjusted.
3096  Other / Meta / Re: NFT subforum? on: August 01, 2022, 05:35:08 PM

NFTs are probably responsible for drawing a bigger crowd into crypto than any other single factor (aside from pure speculation, I assume).
I think that this forum would benefit from sorting out the altcoin section instead just leaving it in a mess that currently is. Whether we like it or not, new crypto users mainly invest in altcoins (NFT included) before they start looking at bitcoin (usually after getting rekt) and by getting them here there is a good chance that instead of wasting their time and money on shitcoins, they start using bitcoin instead.


The idea of NFT’s was dumb to begin with and now proven worthless .
Just because NFT market is currently dominated by overpriced JPEGs doesn't mean that they are worthless or useless as they can be so much more.

3097  Other / Meta / Re: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity on: August 01, 2022, 04:16:41 PM
I had a memory of that.
I think I will stick entirely to Merit Dashboard, I haven't the energy to juggle between two different sources.
Thanks for the clarification!
At first I was using ninjastic.space only for Russian board, but then I started using for all others board as well, to be more consistent. It takes more time though, as in Merit Dashboard I had merit/post ratios already calculated and now I have to do it manually. Honestly, I considered reverting back to Merit Dashboard for all boards except Russian, to make my life easier and sicne I don't have as much time as I sued to have.


I think I will stick entirely to Merit Dashboard, I haven't the energy to juggle between two different sources.
Thanks for the clarification!
Since you are only making overview of your own local board and probably don't have huge amount of posts deleted like Russian board, it definitely makes more sense to stick to Merit Dashboard. I would do the same if I was still making only Croatian board overview as our board is very clean with low amount of spam posts deleted so Merit Dashboard numbers wouldn't be skewed



_Ragnarok is a troll from the Russian locale who stuffs posts in sections without moderation, and all his posts do not concern cryptocurrencies. It seems that he confused the crypto forum with some kind of social networks, where he just talks about everything and nothing, as if he has no one else to talk to. Its productivity, in terms of meaningful posting and crypto-orientedness, is zero. By the way, he was recently banned for plagiarism. But this is unlikely to stop him, since he will soon be reborn again, in his arsenal there are already more than 30 banned accounts, since 2017.
Thanks for the clarification. As a matter of fact I had a hunch that might be the case as I haven't noticed his name before and he appeared out of nowhere.
3098  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: Novosti on: August 01, 2022, 04:04:59 PM
Zato sam i rekao da je jedini dugoročni način da se to riješi, na obostrano zadovoljstvo svih, tako da koristi ima i država i mi, sastanak predstavnika lokalne kripto zajednice i ministarstva financija i porezne uprave, gdje bi im objasnili kripto problematiku i predložili zdravorazumska rješenja.
Jednostavno država odnosno porezna ne može preslikati pravila sa klasičnog trgovanja na kripto trgovanje i smatrati da je time sve riješila, i oprati ruke od svega.
Znaci neki zakon na tragu onog sto su Slovenci prosle godine predlozili, gdje bi se izbjegla potreba da se pregledaju ogromen kolicine transakcije koji jedan trader ima u godini dana i umjesto toga se samo rokne porrez na 10% kad se kripto pretvara u fiat (bar mislim da je tako nekako islo). Jedino ne znam da li je taj prijedloga usvojen na kraju ili se o njemu slovenci i dalje raspravljaju.

Steta sto Skoric nije vise aktivan na forumu da nam kaze da li su on ili ljudi iz UBIKa pricali sa poreznom o takvom nekakvom pristupu koji bi doveo do toga da vise ljudi placa krip[to porez, sto je na kraju i cilj porezne. Kad vidim ove trenutne propise odmah dobijem proljev od pomisli da idem prijavljivati porez...

3099  Other / Meta / Re: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity on: August 01, 2022, 03:50:23 PM
I see a different value from @ddmrddmr dashboard in the "Merit per Post II (Chart)" tab.



Probably, the difference must be from the account of deleted posts.
Yep, huge amount of old deleted posts in Russian board was the cause of that heavily inflated merit/post ratio. That's the main reason why I switched to ninjastic.space when it comes to counting posts and calculating merit/post ratio as month after month Russian board had the same issue.


@_Ragnarok is the best only because our local champion from Croatia is currently without a campaign and on extended vacation
Haha yeah, him being out of the campaign will certainly be noticeable on the next month's overview.


I think it's time for some of them to get their own Local boards from theymos and moderators, but they need to be more active and update their request topics in Meta (if they have them).
They are consistently being active for some time, even more than other local boards that exist for a long time, so I am giving them my support.
Imho, at least two out of three (it wouldn't be wrong to create 3 local boards either) communities that are included in my overview are active enough to get their own local board and I am surprised to see forum staff so hesitant to create new local boards. I understand that they are reluctant considering how many local boards went dead or are barely active, but still some of those communities have really respectable numbers (both posts and active members) and I think that their numbers would even go up once they get the local board as it will be much easier to have conversations compared how it is now when everything is in one topic.  Anyway, I hope they remain active, vocal and don't lose hope.


I know it's summertime and everyone is a bit lazy but I think some people are addicted to your reports like junkies Cheesy
Yeah its slowly getting out of hand.  Cheesy


I had said that in June I shouldn't be in first place.  Tongue
Now, losing first place by just 2 posts is frustrating! I could have really gotten first place.  Cool
True, you were right this time, but you were very close nevertheless and still had a respectable number of posts written.  I expect you retake the first post in July.
3100  Other / Meta / Re: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity on: August 01, 2022, 11:09:47 AM
I would like to ask you one question: why did you not consider the Russian Board in the merit/post ratio?
The result is relatively high according to @ddmrddmr merit Dashboard, but I cannot see any particular reason for this.

Hm I can clearly see it in the chart, their ratio for June was 0.2 which was below their 12 months average that is 0.31. That decrease is probably connected with Ratimov not sharing merit in his local board.

Edit: even though Russian board is thee in the chart it looks like I miscalculated the ratio as it should be ~0.28. Will be corrected as soon as I get on PC. This what happens when I rush with the overview Cheesy

Edit2: there was no miscalculation, its 0.28,on the chart already but that 3rs digit is not properly visible.
