I always feel some sort of pleasure whenever I get back here. Signed up back in 2015, been off PrimeDice for about two years.. coming back 5 years after my registration and still finding most of the people I used to talk to in the chat is amazing. They've done an extraordinary job at keeping their customers loyal to the website.

I used to spend all day long just betting and chatting with others.. back in 2015 we had people tipping an entire Bitcoin to other users, or rainbot tipping 20k coins to each user.. it was amazing, I don't think I'll ever see those 10-20BTC bets in the high rolls again. Gold times.

You either have a clipboard hijacker or you're trying to get attention. The cursor in your video randomly skips right after clicking the search box at 0:31, jumping right to the Buy button. It looks like you paused the video, copied the other address and then resumed it.

If the video is indeed legit, this isn't a normal action that happens on a PC so get yourself a thorough virus and malware check. But there's no point in calling it an Etherscan scam - it has nothing to do with their website, why jump straight to the accusation?

A big difficulty in adding the Bitcoin payment method to a website is volatility, confirmations, the number of customers using this payment method and the fees. Most websites will not go through the headache of adding Bitcoin payment methods to their platform due to the small number of people willing to pay through it.

The number of people using Bitcoin always peaks when the price is the highest. That's when the craze starts and then everyone goes silent until the next market ride. Therefore, it's just a hassle many websites consider they don't need. If Bitcoin will ever become a true payment method and adoption will be on a significantly higher level than it is today, adding it might become an option for website owners. Until then though, it's going to probably stay the way it is.

This is my last reply to you, because there's no point in debating this subject with users like you. The point we're trying to make is that this forum is filled up with crap like what you're posting, which is just copy-pasting articles you consider "useful". Time has proven to all of us that explaining what's good and what isn't here to the spammers has no positive ending to +90% of the cases. To your knowledge, I have busted a ring of almost 60 members here that have actively spammed the forum with their Crowdholding and publish0x shitposting just a few days ago. If you believe this is what BitcoinTalk is for, no offense but GTFO. It's becoming annoying as hell, but busting them feels good, man.

"I share exclusive content that explains what's up with crypto" It would've been different if you were here to actually participate in the threads you're posting. Again, if everyone would do what you're doing here, the forum would literally become a Paste button for all articles one might find interesting because "whether or not to click the link is really up to the community".


Good, let's do it!
According to google, the definition of spam is "irrelevant or unsolicited messages sent over the Internet, typically to a large number of users, for the purposes of advertising, phishing, spreading malware, etc". The fact that +95% of your posts were published on BitcoinTalk with links to Forklog proves our point that you're just spamming the forum. Now let's take some reference from the unofficial list of official rules BTCTalk moderators have used to moderate the forum:


Rule #24 speaks for itself and answers all your contradictions.

Let me also quote theymos:


Now before you call us bounty/witch hunters/fighters, maybe you should take into consideration the fact that it's the forum vs you. Just because you think what you're doing is okay doesn't make it okay. Take care.

Edit:
By the way,
I'm still wondering how you're not benefiting from sharing only Forklog posts when in your own post you mentioned the collective pronoun "our". This makes me conclude that it's not about just you finding the articles, it makes me conclude there's definitely more than that to it. The fact that you've ignored our question until I said it and your response was "I ain't gonna elaborate more in this situation" just proves our point again. I'll put the quote above right next to the quote below and voila! You've just basically busted yourself. By "our", you've basically admitted you're part of Forklog one way or another.

"Our goal".. "I share exclusive content".. These two "kinda" link, don't they?
And then, FINALLY, because I've wasted enough time debunking all this situation, I had a quick Google lookup of the "exclusive" articles you've posted and the same quantity of information can easily be found on a lot of websites. By "exclusive" I understand insight information you can't find somewhere else.

I will leave this user CoinTrendy here as an addition to the OP list.

His second page of posts and half of his first is filled with this website: http://archive.fo/kE9dJ

At least he does respond to the feedback coming from his readers. But his first posts are completely useless, just his link spammed everywhere.

First of all, I'm not a bounty hunter. Nor is suchmoon or o_e_l_e_o. In fact, they are both part of one of the best and longest standing BitcoinTalk campaign where the members with highest quality of posts on this forum "fight" for open spots. So this alone makes your statement nonsense. They're high quality posters. They're a big value to the forum.

And then, there's a difference between having a promoted website in a signature and constantly spamming the forum with the same website. The latter cannot be changed unless you delete your threads and posts, while signatures can.

Or are you saying that you'd rather receive advertisements and links constantly from a friend on WhatsApp rather than seeing his website or service promoted in his profile pic?

You seem to answer and contradict everyone but you're ignoring the question we've all asked: what do you mean by the fact that you are "kinda related" to the website you're spamming?

Allowing to input addresses through the smartwatch by typing them would be a bad, bad idea.

The best thing that could happen is eventually a wallet that lets you send funds to a preset list of addresses. But then again, security becomes a concern.

I don't necessarily have a problem with the KYC law itself either. It's not the governments abusing it, the platforms are. When they freeze your funds unless you provide documents, the KYC law basically lets them take your money if you don't send the necessary documents. If they consider it's not enough, you've lost everything.

There probably needs to be a lawsuit though and then things would change. What I meant by all that wall of text is that through all these laws and measures they're just slowly taking more and more little pieces of our freedom and privacy. I am anti-terrorism and anti-illicit activity, but I think there are way better ways to stop them than being able to read our texts.

Yeah, hilariousandco + John's guides gave you really good tips. Only 238 merits away from becoming a Sr Member! Did this finding inspire you to make more time for the forum or?

This is stupid already. First, threads of users inspired by other users. Then, users inspired by the threads of users inspired by other users. Now, threads of users inspired by guidelines. What's next? "Inspired by the forum name"?

OP makes it sound like you have to pass a damn Harvard final exam to start writing quality posts on the forum. Have you contemplated creating a PowerPoint presentation or a documentary for this purpose too?

It's my daily cardio routine. I always sweat when I have to write quality..



Seriously now, if you think it's hard to earn a merit then I will have to suppose your purpose here is just ranking up. Is it that hard to write a bit more constructive and actually helpful posts?

There's always going to be a way out for the terrorists, child porn traffickers and all the other criminals. Meanwhile, we, the legit ones, are being scammed thanks to KYC laws being abused by stupid websites and apps. When will proper action against THESE guys be taken? They basically allowed a law companies can abuse of and they're calling us criminals for using Bitcoin. What?

First we've seen Bitcoin concerns due to "a large part of transactions being used in illegal activities" which was and still is a false idea to begin with, and now they're using child porn as an excuse to stop end-to-end encryption? You could as well stop me from abusing my wife by forcing the installation of security cameras all around my house, it's the same shit. Privacy? None.

Govs are pushing the limits imo. Like come on, if we put together all these measures they're taking "against crimes", it's ridiculous and turns into exactly what I feared years ago: we're heading towards total control.

Because the same excuse can be used in any scenario:
- Need to buy Bitcoin? You need to share your ID to make sure you're not a terrorist.
- Need to talk with someone? Let us read your chat logs to make sure you're not sending someone child porn.
- Need to browse the Internet? Let us see what you're browsing to make sure you're not buying drugs.
- Need to take a photo? Let us see these photos to make sure you don't own some child porn.

And the list could go through hundreds of examples. Where does this end? Well, it doesn't. It only gets worse, actually.

As I keep saying, our privacy is in danger. It's getting shrank down as days go by, and they're taking steps so slow we don't even notice them.

I can't feel safe knowing the government is spying on my texts, listening to my calls and looking at what I'm browsing. At this point, it gets pretty scary because these are like actions a communist country would take. Is North Korea our idol or?

I read "crypto portfolio" and this popped up in my mind. A smartwatch app for cryptocurrency portfolios would be a good idea. There'd be no information at risk except balances.

Now regarding the Bluetooth part, I am very curious to know how vulnerable a smartphone with Bluetooth turned on is. If you're using some smart gadgets, be it airpods or a smartwatch, you always have to keep your phone's BT on. But I guess phones' security can not be compared to a smartwatch's..

The ignore button works very well for me and I don't see it as a hard work to do. You just use that button when you see an user shitposting.

Of course, if you're going to specifically look for those shitposting through threads and ignore all of them, it's gonna take a loong time and will probably be boring as hell.

But if you take them out one by one randomly when you're posting in a thread, they'll all be ignored in no time and you won't even notice the effort you're doing.

Most gambling websites (at least most of those I've joined) require KYC anyway, so creating a new account isn't an option. But self-control should come from the individual betting, not from the website.. that's why it's called self-control..

The best thing a casino can do is to add some sort of timeout the user can set.. for example, they could let you choose not to be able to bet for X minutes. But again, if one wants to play their money out, they will anyway.. so it's useless

I don't think it'd be very secure due to the connection method (Bluetooth). When you have your smartwatch connected to your phone, you have to keep the bluetooth permanently on. Watches can be exploited and other devices could pair with it if the smartwatch has the option to deny access to unknown devices turned off. I'm no security expert but I am sure that even with all security options turned on, they still pose a risk.

A 2015 test by Hewlett-Packard (HP) resulted in 100% of the smartwatches successfully exploited.
If that's too old, a 2018 Kaspersky security research on smartwatches ended in negative results too.

Smartwatches are cool and all, but they haven't been around long enough yet imo to be considered secure enough to have Bitcoin wallets on them. An idea I would go for though would be an app that would display QR codes for addresses you'd input from your phone on a list. The only risk you'd be exposed to is having your public addresses exposed to a hacker.

If a wallet would be released for these devices, they would become the next target for hackers. And as today I don't think many hackers are focusing on smartwatch vulnerabilities because there isn't much to be extracted from them, such news would make them turn their focus 180 degrees straight to the smartwatches.

We've been used to the third-party asset storage. It's hard to change that and it's even harder for someone to familiarize with Bitcoin, third-parties vs controlling your own funds and it's very hard especially for a new crypto owner to differentiate between owning your funds on a centralized, server-sided wallet vs a client-sided one.

Every wallet tells you they do not own the private key to your wallets, and people almost always confuse that with decentralization. If a wallet tells you they are not going to hold your private keys, it doesn't mean you're safe. But again, that's part of the crypto adoption challenge and people will hardly get used to it until next generation grows up ..

I never knew Satoshi was Nostradamus.. How the hell did you manage to relate Satoshi to the ideal price prediction?

Speaking of Nostradamus, I am waiting for the next "Nostradamus predicted Bitcoin will spike to $10M!" spree of articles. Like come on, every time a new predictor comes up with a successful tip there's alwas that "After successfully predicting a $1 price increase of Bitcoin, ..." kind of paragraph at the beginning of an article to give him some credibility.

In 7 years of crypto I've seen enough to not believe in any prediction anymore. These guys just come and go like the wind. If Tom Lee's prediction doesn't go as planned, another price prediction will pop up from someone else.

I wish there was a rule that would forbid these kind of actions. The forum isn't a clipboard, it's a community where you talk and speak your mind, way too many are using it as a "Paste" button to their crappy articles.


20 out of your 21 posts (I've excluded your replies to accusations) are copy-pasted articles from forklog. That's equal to more than 95% of your posts so far being copy-pasted stuff. If this is what you believe belongs on BitcoinTalk, I guess we're sorry to say you're more than wrong. Imagine if everyone did the same thing you're doing on the forum. It would become home to a sh*tload of copied articles. It's like every time you try to talk to someone, they pull out a magazine and start reading out loud from it. Contribution to the forum is appreciated, what you're doing is not.

If by "kinda related" to forklog you mean you're working with them by promoting their articles (or writing articles for them), go get some paid advertisements. This forum is no home to free ads.


It's an easy answer he/she is trying to avoid. It's very simple: you either are affiliated with them or you're not.

Justin met with WB to pump Tron. Just like he bought Poloniex and DLive just to pump his shitty coin. When he decided to delist DigiByte from Poloniex and gave 0 real reasons they made that decision (it was obviously because the founder of DGB had a little beef with Justin), it became clear for me. And then he added some other shitcoins.. he lost all his respect in my eyes.

Because he has the money, he has the ability to promote his coin as if it's the best of the best. The coins ongoing through his token are mostly known as ponzi scams.

He had $70M raised through the ICO. I doubt these $4.5M he's paid Warren Buffet came out of his pockets. He has most likely paid from the wallets of his supporters. In fact, last month TRX unlocked 33B TRX tokens. That's over $750M at the current price of TRX..

They're working on providing you a signed address with 19BTC.. what don't you understand, TMAN? They don't have it, they're working on it.

There's no way this will go in their favor. But unfortunately I don't think there's much to be done here by us - if MegaDice was innocent, they would've publicly provided proof that the allegation is false and newalias did not win the 19BTC. It's in their best interest.

Even if they were right and newalias was lying, this entire thread shows how much they respect their customers. These idiots are ruining Bitcoin's reputation because new people always fall in their traps..

I don't get how people still care even a bit about Justin Sun. He's done the worst crap for the Bitcoin community, including taking over Poloniex. Turned a great exchange into literal shit.

Why would this photo of him and WB affect the crypto markets? That would show how immature the markets still are. Meeting WB doesn't mean anything.. he paid $4.5M just for a lunch. I'm sure the information he has received is priceless, but that does not mean anything positive/negative for cryptocurrencies. Makes no sense & I can already imagine how full Twitter is of "Justin Sun met WB! TRX moon!" tweets..

I would've rather met with someone who's interested in developing something huge for our community. Could turn into potentially creating a revolutionary platform or idea instead of turning $4.5M into a dinner.
