It seems that LL has a history of being slow to pay, potentially going back to 2013. He sent a positive trust rating to Nolo indicating he sent a bonus for Nolo having to wait.

When you are running a business and doing business with other businesses, one fact of life is that you will not always be paid on time.

I remind you that the feedbacks we have left are not for not paying. They are for late payment. When a person takes longer than promised to pay you, you never know if he will finally pay you until he does.

Not sure what drugs Quicksy is on today, but being consistently late for long periods of time is contrary to sane expectations in a business deal. Having an eight year history of that kind of behavior is not a good thing.

Gotta say though I'm happy to see that some red trust ratings cured lightlord of whatever his illness was.
SSRIs are working quite fine. Thanks for the concern.

Trading partners are well aware of his tendency to change at late. He pays extra when he pays late. Late payments are common when dealing with businesses.

LL pays late but he also compensates for the late payments. If a late payment is a concern, you can look at his neutral trust.

Any negative trust he receives should be removed once he catches up on payments.
I disagree with that, since this is the second time his campaign participants have had serious issues with payment.  It's just not acceptable behavior, and I thought I was being generous last time by changing my negative to a neutral.  This time I think he's earned a neg, regardless of what reasons or excuses he has for not paying out and not communicating.  Enough is enough with this guy.
If he pays his debt, there is no reason why he should have a negative.

Here I agree more with The Pharmacist. I have left Lightlord neutral feedback for the moment, but I think everyone who deals with him on money matters should be aware of how he behaves.

I am still owed money by Lightlord, Quickseller, I said so on the first page.

The fact that I do you a service and you, who have promised to pay me next week take 4,5, 10 weeks to pay me or more, seems to me at least morally questionable and at least makes me doubt whether I should leave him negative feedback as The Parmacist has done.

Since he's supposedly sick, I'm going to do what I said, wait a couple of weeks and see how it goes.
Well this has been an issue for a while, people have known this is an issue and have continued doing business with him anyway. When he is late paying, he compensates those that he owes by paying extra. I am not sure what else you could ask of him.

In any event, it seems that lightlord has resolved the issue as he has agreed to keep payments in escrow.

I am plenty fun at parties.

I think it is fair to say that aysg76 was genuinely interested in how DdmrDdmr sends merit so quickly. So I explained it to him.

Post Mortem Analysis:
This represents an average of 2.04 merits per second and 1.07 TX/S
How in the hell is he that fast like seriously 2.04 merits per second? It usually takes me 4-5 minutes to find out a good post on the forum which is worth meriting

He uses a script to actually send the merit. He also uses a database query to get a list of posts he has previously sent merit to that meet certain criteria. The output from his database query is used as input for his script.

If negative ratings remain after someone has honored their commitments, why would someone repay a delinquent debt, but more importantly, why would someone complain about a delinquent debt if doing so will mean the debtor will receive a prominent negative rating?
I don't know, QS, why do credit rating agencies keep people's FICA scores at 600 for years when they don't pay their credit card bills?  Why are men being fired from their jobs for mere accusations of sexual misconduct?  Why do people earn reputations as being unreliable, or liars, or scammers?  Why do we tag anyone on this forum for scamming?  Those are all questions as good as the ones you're asking, yet those things happen.
Lenders will treat potential borrowers differently if a potential borrower is currently delinquent on a loan, compared to a borrower who was previously delinquent, but is now current/paying as agreed. 

IMO being fired for a mere accusation is inappropriate, but a substantiated accusation of sexual misconduct is obviously more serious than not paying your bills on time.

Tags are given out as a deterrence to scamming. A flag for a contract violation should be opposed (and support should be withdrawn) if the damaged party has been made whole. The statement that is made when supporting a contract violation reads, in part:

[user] did not make the victims of this act roughly whole, AND it is not the case that all of the victims forgave the act

The threat of a negative rating is a primary reason why many honor their debts, and the potential for a negative to be removed is a reason why someone will pay a delinquent debt. If negative ratings remain after someone has honored their commitments, why would someone repay a delinquent debt, but more importantly, why would someone complain about a delinquent debt if doing so will mean the debtor will receive a prominent negative rating?

I agree that the behavior is unacceptable, but is not something that warrants a permit negative. He is compensating those who he is late paying with a bonus.

You will most likely need to run an implementation of an etherum node that accepts RPC calls. The specific calls you will have to make in order to create/sign a transaction will depend on the client implementation you are running.

Depending on the values involved, you may also consider crediting tokens to a database balance for the user, and allowing the user to withdraw upon certain criteria being met. Anytime you move a token to a user's ETH address/"wallet", you will have to pay a gas fee.

Problem: I have a position in loss, position size $100, x5 leverage, -50% PNL,  Binance.

I want to do DCA, what should be my limit order size so I can cover the current -50% loss? Cheesy
What exactly is your goal? When you DCA when the price is lower than your current average purchase price, you will lower your average purchase price but you won’t be able to make your trade profitable without the price subsequently moving in your favor.

If you are down by 50%, you can buy nothing and you will break even once the price doubles from where it is. You can double the amount of bitcoin you hold by buying an amount of bitcoin that you already own at 50% below your current purchase price, which would lower your overall purchase price by 25%, and you would need the price to increase by 50% for you to break even.

One of the staff tried this site 3 years ago and warned us here
It seems that this website has been in the wild for years already and could have caught a lot of victims:
The address the scam site bitcoinqrcodemaker.com is currently producing on their QR codes currently does not have any transactions, although it is likely that it has used different addresses over time.

This is one example as to why it is important to search for scams prior to interacting with any bitcoin related website or service, especially "free" services.

When I started with the campaign, there was already a delay of about 5 weeks in paying us, then it went up to 6, then 7. Someone who had been with the campaign for a long time explained that in principle the payments were supposed to be weekly, but it usually took 2 weeks to pay, then 3, then 4.

It has to be said that when he pays with a backdated payment he gives a small bonus. The longer the delay the bigger the bonus.
Just to clarify that although I am no longer part of the campaign, I am somehow involved because I have been owed two weeks for more than two months. We are quite a few people in this situation, we left the sig campaign when the rates went down about two months ago, but he still owes us money.
Are you still owed money? If so, you would have standing to open a scam accusation against Lightlord that should result in negative trust given that he is apparently 10 weeks behind in payments. Any negative trust he receives should be removed once he catches up on payments.

Given the "bonus" being given for late payments, I would encourage those owed money to remain patient. Although at one point I would suggest that participants leave the campaign until/unless payments are caught up.

I have made a mistake, how can I change my forum name?

You might be better off just making a new account and moving on.
Unless your current name is somehow going to lead to you getting doxed, or otherwise endanger you, the above is the right answer.

If either of the above applies, PM Theymos and he will likely change your display name (assuming you can document the above).

Welcome to bitcointalk. I am sure you will enjoy your time here, learn a lot and eventually help others learn about bitcoin.

My advice is to not look for “alt” accounts. Don’t be a forum “cop”. Instead, read threads that interest you and respond with questions about what is being discussed and add anything that you can add to conversations.

Forum police are very high profile, but over the long term contribute very little to the community on a net basis.

Find sections that appeal to you, read many threads in these sections, and post when you can make a meaningful contribution. Ask meaningful and insightful questions.

All other links allowed in a user's profile can lead to outside the forum. I don't see why an avatar link shouldn't be able to lead to an outside link.
True. Well, it'll just make things worse then.
All other links on a user's profile at least have the ability to have a description of the link. If you have a website link in your profile, you must have a website title, and any link in your signature must either be a "raw" link or have some kind of text if using the url= bb code.

If your avatar contains a link, there would not be any text, only an image.

Also, the forum has been hacked via the avatar system before, so I doubt that theymos is exactly eager to be making changes to the avatar system.

Anyone can also add a short link to their personal text. It would not be clickable, however it would be nearly as good as a clickable avatar.
336  Other / Archival / Re: Hyperlink under the avatar on: October 02, 2021, 02:22:32 PM
It's a nice idea, but only if the link is not outside the forum. Otherwise, it'll just be another attempt to make the forum a better place which will be then abused by bounty hunters.

If links must lead to forum threads/links, bounty hunters will simply have the link set to a thread for the project they are supporting.

You paid $8000 for two forum accounts? I’m sorry but there is just no way a reasonable person would justify that price. Circa 2014, forum accounts would go for roughly the amount they could earn in one month via signature campaigns. This was when trading forum accounts was more accepted than it is today, so there was little risk of receiving red trust when your account is discovered to be sold.

Also, you are claiming that you used escrow but never accessed the account. Did you instruct the escrow agent to release the bitcoin to the seller? If so, why? If not, did you complain to the escrow agent? What was the outcome?

It looks like the body found was Gabby’s, and the initial cause of death was homicide (source). It’s too bad, I was hoping she would turn up alive somewhere, maybe wanting some alone time.

We should find out more information about how she died soon.

She seemed like a pretty nice girl. She might have had some rough spots in her life, but appears to had been an overall good person.

I would not ban him for this post, but would see it as multiple low effort posts. It is clear that what he wrote was not his original thought and that he got the specific information from a single source. This is not something that was inspired by a source. He made changes to the syntax of what was written.

I would advise against accepting an account with tokens as collateral.

If you can withdraw the tokens, send them to a lender (or escrow) so they can sell them if you default.
