That's what we have been doing, and some of our locals helping us do it. But as you know, there are always some people who promise to stay with us but they leave our local thread once they rank up to their desired rank. I am the person to blame for that. I have been vocal against some of their abuse and since then, most of them stopped coming to our local threads and do not write there anymore.

I have been translating useful threads for a year now and some of our locals also help guide newbies including DS, LM, Crypto Library, and a couple of more users. I have also written many original contents but since we are just in a local thread, most of the posts were buried. Sometimes I feel awkward to talk high-ranked members because they were supposed to know better than us.

আমাদের বিগত মাস গুলোর তুলনায় একটিভিটি কমেছে, কিন্তু আমি মনে করি না আপনারা কেউ এই ব্যাপারে হতাশ হবেন। দুষ্ট গরুর চাইতে শুন্য গোয়াল ভালো। আমাদের থ্রেড এর কয়েকজন নিয়মিত মুখ এখন আর বাংলাদেশ থ্রেড এ দেখা যায় না। এখন আমি যদি তাদেরকে সুবিধাবাদি বলি, আপনারা কেউ কি রাগ করবেন নাকি? আমার তো খালি চুলকায়, উচিৎ কথা না বলে থাকতে পারি না। ওনারা এক প্রকার আমার অত্যাচারে এই থ্রেড থেকে বের হয়ে গেছে। অনেকে দেখলাম আবার গ্লোবাল বোর্ড এর পোস্ট এ গিয়ে মেরিট লেনদেন করছে। বেশ কয়েকটা ম্যাগা থ্রেড ইউজ করে মেরিট এদিক সেদিক করছে। কয়েকদিন আগে একজন আমাকে মেসেজ দিলো মেরিট দিয়ে হেল্প করার জন্য। ৮ টা মেরিট দিয়ে পরের রেংক এ যেতে হেল্প করলাম, ওনাকে মেসেজে বললাম যে ভাই আমাদের লোকাল থ্রেড এ একটিভ হোন। কিন্তু এর পর থেকে আর একটা পোস্ট ও দেখলাম না ওনার। সবাই ব্যাস্ত থাকতেই পারে। কিন্তু এভাবে পারলেন আপনারা?

Usually, I take a little longer than average time to complete the translations because I don't want to feel pressured. Moreover, I am too busy with my new start-up and I am doing the translations only when I have some free time.

Let's get back to your post. I understand your whole point. I also agree that writing 10 posts a day isn't spamming. But, when you see a particular campaign participants doing it for ages and you do not see those participants out of some specific boards, you might have a negative thought about them and I don't think everyone will disagree with me about it.

Yeah, I have noticed that you have removed some participants for spamming. One of my local was removed from one of your campaign due to a neutral feedback and that is something I should appreciate. If campaign managers act accordingly like this one, the forum would have less spammy threads and posts.

I understand your point too. Some newbies create accounts and go ahead and create a thread without checking anything. Either they are just spammers who want to get some attention, or they do not know how the forum works. If a newbie creates a topic and wants to know more about it, there shouldn't be any problem. But I have also seen some random users who create tutorial threads with wrong information. But that is very rare. Not too many newbies create tutorial threads when they need to learn. So, when we refer to newbies, it should not be the forum account rank but it should be the person's knowledge and experience. It could be a crypto newbie, tech newbie, you name it.

I am not only talking about the violations that are in the forum rules. Some other things are not listed on the forum rules but these are frowned upon. There is a thing called ethics and we all should be ethical. Let's talk about how our locals react when they see someone violating forum rules. Let's say a newbie just registered and wrote something that violates the forum rules. Usually, we don't report that post. We try to correct them instead because I believe not everyone reads the forum rules before they register here. But if they continue doing it by ignoring our messages, we report them.

Some other things are not listed on the forum rules such as merit abuse. Cheating with multiple alts and many more. Sometimes it's obvious that a account is alt account and who control that. But we cannot report without any kind of evidence. But, when something is going on for a long time and a big number of users joins that, we should do something even if we do not have any proof. I did what I wanted and luckily it worked.

I am sorry but could you please use some punctuation in your texts? I am not a native English speaker and do not know where to stop. Please use commas and full stops when necessary. Now I am giving you an answer based on what I understood. Yes, you could say that I am lacking of planning. But it's not true that I have invested ALL my savings INCLUDING unexpected needs. I feel like you never know how much money to start a business. Otherwise, you won't say that.

My business needs a couple of thousand dollars, and I have already managed a big portion of it. As of writing, 90% of my funds were managed without selling a single satoshi. Now, If you hate altcoins or shitcoins, that's your personal opinion and I do not care about it. If you do not respect others just because they said they have invested some money in shitcoin, you have very low moral. 90% of my portfolio is BTC only and the rest is alts. If you do not like having alts for other purposes, we can't be friends.

Good Challenge satscraper!

I have seen another challenge that was run by NotATether and I want to consider his challenge thread as a successful challenge because a couple of users have tried and Run a node for at least 14 days. Challenges that help improve the Bitcoin network, and this one which will increase the level of wallet security always should be welcomed and encouraged. I support your idea but I am afraid because people may abuse your challenge thread. Here is a friendly suggestion, before you merit them, look at their merit patterns so you can understand if it's an alt account or not.

Cheers mate!

I do not have any problem and do not see any problem if a newbie teaches me something that I didn't know. For example, let's say I don't know how to use the CPFP feature with my electrum wallet, and suddenly a newbie suggested to me the way I could do it, do you see anything wrong here? I joined this forum in 2022, but that does not mean I didn't know about Bitcoin before 2022.

So, What if I came to this forum and guided a legendary about how he should use a feature of Electrum wallet? Would you ignore my valid suggestions just because my forum rank is newbie? I have created a thread to discuss this thing a few weeks ago and a lot of people agreed with my point.

I have read this thread before, But I don't remember If I have ever commented on this topic. I agree with everything you have shared but look at this point. I always considered stake participants as spammers because they could write more than ten posts a day without adding any value to this forum and all they write on gambling boards. There was a time when I also wrote ten posts a day but not on the gambling boards. I used to write in the several boards of the forum.

Now the reason I have quoted this part, I believe two of your campaigns contradict this point. I don't want to mention the campaign name but those campaigns allow users to write up to 60 posts and they are going to get paid for all those posts. More importantly, Tier E encourages spam in the forum. You may have a different point of view. But, I believe this is also a fact.

Anyway, I have started working on translating this thread for my locals. I hope I will finish the translation soon.

Hi Dear GazetaBitcoin.

I will start working on it. Please consider this one as reserved. I will let you know once I am done.

Yes. That's why I took the risk. Even I am still accumulating my Bitcoin from my signature campaign payments. I do not plan to sell in the 60K range yet. I might cash out some profits in that range. But I won't sell all of them since my target is way bigger. I wish I could hold them till 2030 and see what happens. We may not see 100K this year.

I believe we may see another ATH this year which could be 80K or so. The 100K range is a dream target for many of us. 2025 could be a year for Bitcoin. After that, many of us will buyback again and start preparing for another bullrun.

I guess I have posted this several times in several threads. My only wrong move was to sell it for a cheap price. I bought Bitcoin before the last bull run and I was holding tight without realizing that the bull run was over now. I didn't understand when I should have existed in the market. I could have some little profit from there.

Later, when Bitcoin was moving sideways, I was still holding with the hope that the bear market wouldn't be there for a long time. Then the lowest price was 15K, but I had to sell my Bitcoin in the 20K range because I needed some urgent cash. That is my only wrong movement with my Bitcoin.

You should be afraid of it. Bitcoin is not legal here and if more people know that you have used Bitcoin before and still do, they won't think twice about complaining to the police and getting you arrested. Not everyone uses Bitcoin for investment purposes only, some people care about privacy, and Bitcoin is supposed to be for privacy enhancement.

I don't know why it's too important to tell others that you have Bitcoin and you have made a profit out of it. Isn't it like you are showing off to them that you have Bitcoin? I have Bitcoin too and I don't know many people in my local area who use crypto. Probably there are hundreds of people are related to crypto but I do not know any of them and they don't know about me either. So, I don't know why everyone in your area has to know that you have used Bitcoin.

I know where you came from and I am sorry that I do not agree with you. You might have a different point of view, but don't expect everyone to agree with you. I saw the thread and the replies where you were discussing political things. If you care too much about how members behave, stay away from hitting discussion of be ready to accept criticism.

Some of my closest friends do not agree with me but I don't have to insult them. I don't want to impose my beliefs on them. If I try to impose my beliefs on them, surely they will act weird and I won't be surprised if they insult me. If you hurt someone's belief, do you expect them to talk with you nicely? It does not matter if they are some random newbie or what! they will act according to their feelings.

The post you referred to was written back in 2009. Probably it was on the same script (I mean SMF) but it was hosted somewhere else. At first, the website was moved to forum.bitcoin.org which is currently owned by Sirius where Satoshi has made this post. After a year, satoshi disappeared. After another year, on August 01, 2011, theymos were kind of forced to move this forum^[1] to a new host and domain which is Bitcointalk.org. In this sense, yes, satoshi didn't write any posts in this forum. Maybe he wrote in forum.bitcoin.org forum which later moved to Bitcointalk.org.

[1] Forum moved to bitcointalk.org

Signature Updated.

I don't know if OP was talking about altcoinstalks or not. I have joined that forum for over a month now and I have discussed Bitcointalk a couple of times. Even some moderators and admins were on those threads. They never said that I should not talk about other forums. So, I believe it is not altcoinstalks who tried to limit users from talking about other forums.

I know why people moved to Altcoinstalks. The word "moved" isn't correct. Because nobody left Bitcointalk. It's just like we are here and there as well. A person could be in several forums. There is nothing bad in it.

May I know which forum are you talking about? I saw such a limitation at least seven-eight years ago on a local forum where they did not allow us to discuss other online forums. But, I am not a member of too many forums except hack forums, nulled, cracked, Debian, altt, and this one. I don't remember if I have seen such limitations on those forums. I joined Altt very recently and I have mentioned the name of Bitcointalk a couple of times and no one asked me to stop discussing Bitcointalk forum.

Now, if you talk if this would be allowed or not. The answer is yes, it should be allowed. I don't think theymos want to censor the forum anymore. theymos is not afraid of the competitors. I don't consider any forum as a competitor of Bitcointalk.

Because locals always tolerate tiny mistakes. Let's say a new user registered today and copy-pasted some random article in our local thread, in the past days, we were used to asking him to edit it and add the source or delete it. Do you see the tolerance here? Global members would go ahead and report their posts and they would get banned without having a single chance.

We have tolerated many more things in our local thread and that is the reason they were able to abuse every single feature of this forum. Someone has to stand up against them, and I thought it was the perfect time to step up. Luckily it worked and they stopped doing what they were doing for a while.

Buddy, I know what I am doing 

Yes, I understand that maybe it's not good to invest all my savings into Bitcoin only. But I know what I am doing. The only reason is; that the bull run is ahead and I don't want to miss it. Since I bought a good portion of Bitcoin in the 27K range, I don't want to sell it too early. The thing is, I didn't take any loans to invest in Bitcoin. I did it with my savings. I had no savings three years ago.

But I have managed a couple of thousand dollars in Bitcoin, and I am good so far. I could sell it whenever I want. I am still in profit. So, I am regretting of what I am doing. I guess you understand my point. I wouldn't have asked for a loan if I didn't start a new business. But, I hope I will manage everything.
