3201  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: Pregled Bitcointalk Signature-Ad kampanja on: June 13, 2022, 08:01:59 AM
A evo, trenutno to imamo mi i CM. Ako uvede još par kampanja - možda i postane pravilo i promijeni se paradigma.
Osim vas i CMa, i dvije icopressove kampanje takodjer nemaju minimum tako da se stvari pomalo poboljsavaju. Ja sam svojedobno planirao preporuciti i BC kampanji da uvede to pravilo, iako je kod njih minimum dosta nizak, samo 10 postova.


Ovako lijepo platiš šta valja, ni oni nisu toliko ljuti jer dobiju većinu love - a za dalje pišu bolje i kvalitetnije jer žele punu zaradu. Totalni win-win, iako je menadžerima više posla.
Mislim da je ovo boldano jedini razlog zasto nema vise kampanja sa takvim pravilima.


Još jedno pravilo koje me osobno smeta je uvijet minimalno x postova negdje. Uopće ne znam kako je to dozvoljeno po pravilima foruma ako ne smiješ recimo plaćati postove u točno određenom topicu. To je po meni malo grey area. Šta nije puno bolje odustati od tog pravila i jednostavno izabrati postere koji sami po sebi već pišu u sekcijama koje su klijentu interesantne?
Uzrok ovog pravila treba traziti u tome sto ima jako malo genuine gambling board postera te je vecina njih vec bila u top kampanjama pa su onda manageri novih kampanja bili primorani natjerati ljude da tamo postaju. Nakon nekog vremena i hrpe takvih kampanja naravno da sada imas dosta ljudi koji pise u gambling dijelu, iako hrpa njih kurca pojma nema o sportu o kojem pise ali jebiga, kampanje to zahtjevaju tako da su se ljudi prilagodili.


Mi smo imali sreće da je naš klijent stvarno razuman pa su odmah prihvatili sve takve prijedloge. Ili da bolje kažem bili smo dovoljno uvjerljivi u prezentaciji naših namjera za kampanju.
Govorim napamet, ali mislim da je 90% toga do managera i kakve zahtjeve postavi a druga je stvar sto neki manageri rade samo po spranci jer im je tako najjednostavnije voditi hrpu kampanja i mislim da je to glavni razlog zasto nema vise fleksibilnosti.

3202  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: Pregled Bitcointalk Signature-Ad kampanja on: June 13, 2022, 07:02:13 AM
Nije sve u novcu, i to što bih negdje drugdje mogao zaraditi možda i duplo više, ne igra mi presudnu ulogu, ako me razumiješ.
Ma naravno, bitni su i uvjeti a iskreno meni uvjeti u toj kampanji bas i nisu nesto, dosta je sve rigidno (moras napisati punu kvotu da bi bio placen+ gambling postovi) a uz to i ne placaju bas najbolje. Bar ja tako nekako gledam na tu kampanju.



Dobrodošle promjene i Roobet kampanji, možda malo i zbog nas Grin

Drago mi je vidjeti da je i on prisiljen zbog vas i jos par novih kampanja mijenjati malo pravila ali tesko da ce to puno pomoci. Puno bolja promjena bi bila da si placen koliko postova napises, bez tih minimalnih zahtjeva i fakat ne kuzim zasto i on ne uvede to pravilo. Da sad trazim novu kampanju to bi mi bilo na vrhu liste prioriteta jer mi se neda forsirati postanje u preiodima kad nemam previse vremena.
3203  Economy / Exchanges / Re: [List] Crypto exchanges with financial problems on: June 13, 2022, 06:44:12 AM
I didn't very much follow the whole Coinbase IPO  thing, but I guess not, so many people would want to buy stocks that are just dropping nonstop. People want to make profits, and this includes even those founders.
Well, I wouldn't say that Coinbase stock price is dropping non stop, but more that is following the crypto market which makes sense as their profit depends on the amount of people trading there. Chances are that once we enter bull market again their stock price will start rising again so yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if their founders are buying the dip.



Regarding the title of this thread, I am not so sure that we can say Coinbase has financial problems just because they ended one quarter in negative as probably every other exchange experienced the same thing in the last quarter, its just that others are not publicly traded so we have no idea what's going on there. One positive thing I can see from this though is that some people will get scared and  maybe start realizing that their money stored at Coinbase is not as safe as they think it is.

The most fascinating thing is how the forum frowns at scams and cheats.
While this forum has plenty of capable scambusters and its not easy for a scam to go unnoticed (at least not for a longer period of time), its important to mention that scams are not moderated here meaning scammers aren't banned, no matter the evidence so I would suggest you to thread carefully.


I hope you all won't get tired of my questions. Thank you all
Asking the right question is often more important than pretending to know it all (common newbie mistake). And yeah, welcome to bitcointalk .


3205  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What's been your greatest challenge on BTT ? on: June 12, 2022, 07:55:06 AM
Forums like what? I'm a heavy forum addict and the only other forum that I could think of that people take too seriously is probably BlackHatWorld (because posters promote their online service/business through signatures as well).
For example, couple of Croatian forums (general type of forums). On one of them I am active for ~20 years and while you can't make any money via signature campaigns, people do care about their own status to a ridiculous degree. 11-12 years ago member of that forum organized the real life meeting in some club and it was hilarious to see how forum veterans were full of themselves, and even trying to pick some girls that way, thinking that they will be impressed how reputable they are on some forum lol. Situation is not as serious as here, but people generally tend to take things way too seriously if they spend a lot of time doing something, that's how it goes and I've been guilty of that in the past as well.
3206  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What's been your greatest challenge on BTT ? on: June 12, 2022, 07:37:55 AM
While I love Bitcointalk and I enjoy conversing here, I think some people take it a bit too seriously as if Bitcointalk is some company and that they need to climb the corporate ladder on.
While this is more noticeable on bitcointalk due obvious reason (being able to make money) I noticed similar behavior in many other forums. After some time people start to substituting real life accomplishments with the virtual ones so bitcointalk is not an exception really.



It's just the reality of this forum that people join it for bounties and sig campaigns, because they have heard about their friends or someone on the Internet earning coins here. And the only way to change it is to ban paid campaigns, which theymos is not inclined to do for now.

Banning signature campaigns would basically mean end of this forum and theymos knows that so I don't expect it to change, no matter the negative aspects. It's just reality of this forum, whether we are like it or not. I mean, even with signature campaigns going on, number of posts (and quality new users) is consistently going down and now imagine what would happen if you remove that.

Sve dobre kampanje, dobro plaćaju a i manageri su korektni i ok.

Cudi me da ti ne riskiras malo i odes u neku bolje placenu kampanju, s obzirom na trenutnu situaciju 60 dolara tjedno i nije bas puno. Pa evo ova nasa "domaca" kampanja placa skoro duplo bolje, a ima ih jos par takvih tako da mislim da bi bez problema upao.



Problem je što se prijavi Legendary iz solidne kampanje i misliš to je to, prođeš kroz postove a ispadne lošiji od Sr. membera koji nije u kampanji.
Trenutno skoro da i nema kampanje koja nema bar par shitpostera kojima ne bi dao da pisu u altcoin kampanju, a kamoli btc signature kampanju. Ali jebiga, sellers market je, hrpa kampanja a nedovoljno kvalitetnih clanova i onda se moraju raditi kompromisi da se ispuni kampanja. Uglavnom sretno, vjerujem da nije lako izabrati.
3209  Economy / Speculation / Re: Would you be willing to support anyone who gives the most accurate predictions? on: June 11, 2022, 03:36:53 PM
-- crypto ones though, tend to all do badly in bear markets (no surprise) though they perhaps to limit losses and help people not throw away everything. They're certainly not on this forum =D
Vast majority yes, but not all. After all, bear market is when you can see a difference between those who know what they are doing and those who are just riding the bull market as I think for a pro trader bear or bull market doesn't make a big difference when it comes to profit, all they need is some volatility. That's how I though that I was a good trader back in 2017 when I was buying various shitcoins that were all pumping but then 2018 came and I realized that I have no clue what I am doing and that trading is not for me so I switched to hodl mode and never looked back.
3210  Economy / Economics / Re: Global bitcoin adoption to hit 10% by 2030: Blockware report on: June 11, 2022, 09:24:18 AM
I am surprised to see that bitcoin adootion is not yet up to 10% of the world's population. See the blue arrow, where we are in 2022, very not close even to 5% of the world adoption. With bitcoin presently at $30000 and having over $500 billion marketcap, I thought the world's adoption would have been more, but not, but an opportunity for people to buy bitcoin.
Its always interesting to hear people being kinda disappointed with current bitcoin adoption as I think its quite the opposite and that we should be very happy with the current rates. I am pretty sure that Satoshi and handful of enthusiast and early adopters  couldn't imagine this success in their wildest dreams. Keep in mind that bitcoin has been around for barely more than decade and went a long way from being traded among few cyperhunks for a fraction of  a cent, to situation that we have now. On top of that, big percentage of people are not interested in self-governnace and everything else that bitcoin represents.
3211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: PayPal allows users to withdraw Bitcoin to external wallets on: June 11, 2022, 09:10:07 AM
Like for example, I am a paypal user but won't buy crypto on their platform. I can directly buy it from exchanges which are offering better deals. It is good that they are changing their services for the benefit of its users.
I haven't really bothered to check their rates as I stopped using PayPal 4-5 years ago after couple of my friends got their account banned due buying/selling crypto, but do other exchanges like Kraken or Coinbase offer better rates? I mean, what's the difference, percentage wise?


^Probably from what I have understood, they realized that no one buys BTC from them because it cannot be withdrawn but now you can transfer it to the external wallet.
I am not so sure that's the reason as I read somewhere that approximately 20% of the Paypal users in the United States bought/sold crypto. That number seems a bit too high, but even if its only 1/4 of that its still a big amount as PayPal has ~230 million users there. I think its more about PayPal realizing that majority of people won't withdraw bitcoin to their wallets, so why not offering that option for some good PR.

3212  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Can Someone Explain This Scam? on: June 11, 2022, 06:09:23 AM
Be wary if you are added without your consent to a group, its one of the signs that a group is a scam, legit projects will not add without asking for your approval first, I have been added so many times in groups and these are mostly related to ICO, trading, and airdrops you can hit report spam and leave once they added you, don't communicate with these people they are good with words to compel you to invest.
Why don't you disable that option to be invited in other groups without your consent in Telegram settings and change it to your contacts only?





I literally waste as much time on telephone scammers as I do with such things on Telegram myself, good points raised as well ofc...
I used to do that as well, thinking that I am saving someone by wasting scammer time, but the amount of scam messages I receive on Telegram is so big that eventually I stopped. I may still play that game if I see an interesting approach, but in 99% of the time I just use block&ignore. The big difference between phone scammer and Telegram scammer is that latter can chat with many people at the same time (and they probably do) so its questionable how effective that stalling technique actually is.
3213  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bounties and Airdrops on: June 11, 2022, 05:55:17 AM
The true airdrop is you're only need to give your address in order to receive the distribution, nothing more. Most of airdrop now required to follow, like, share, shills, and give our personal information in order to eligible for the airdrop. That's not an airdrop anymore, but a bounty task.
To be honest, it makes way more sense to me that you actually have to do something in order to get the tokens, instead just giving tokens without any requirement other than giving your address. I know that approach was very popular during 2017 ICO craze, but the way I see it, only the absolute shitcoin project would give tokens for nothing in return.



Most bounties today cant be as lucrative as before so I will say not profitable anymore, airdrops are more profitable if you are qualified on every snapshot from being an active users of their dapps just like Uniswap, dydx, if you want to try then you have to be an active users on many dapps/dex on different chains like eth, atom, solana, you need to spend money on this one like being a liquidity provider or atleast a previous transactions on this chains.
That's what people are doing nowadays, they trade on all those DEX that haven't had airdrop yet, hoping that one day there will be one, like Uniswap had. I have a friend who made pretty decent amount of money that way. Its not easy though as you often have to use some obscure exchange on not so popular blockchain and that is usually pain in the ass.

3214  Economy / Economics / Re: Food crisis coming? What's wrong about it? It could be good on: June 10, 2022, 03:45:03 PM
The only ones who will suffer is Africa from what I have seen in the news.Zelensky the Ukrainian president is saying that they have 22 million ton of grains in their silos and they have just started the new harvest,if things do not change that means in Autumn they will have like 75 million ton of grains stuck there.
Poorest will always suffer the most in the situation like this. That's why wealthy EU bureaucrats that have 10k+ euro monthly salary call for even harsher sanctions and telling crap how all of us have to make a sacrifice, perfectly knowing that they won't have to sacrifice anything and that won't achieve nothing.



I wonder who still believes that fairytale about people coming together when at the first sign of panic a lot of countries have banned food exports to protect their own, in case of a famine happening money will dictate everything, the ones that can afford to pay one cent more will get their loaf of bread the ones who can't have any other hope than somebody who can pay will donate that food to them and not to somebody else.
Hah yeah, some people think that in case of a global crisis people gonna hold their hands and sing kumbaya, while in reality its gonna be every man for himself when/if shit hits the fan.
3215  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: 📝[Discussion topic] Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns📝 on: June 10, 2022, 03:28:50 PM
Actually, I make exceptions for such nuggets ... for example, for n0nce, when he was a full member, the designer created an individual signature.
Good to hear that you are willing to go extra length for a quality lower ranked member, even though finding another member of n0nce quality won't be an easy task.


Also, if you know names that I should look out for, feel free to post them here.
Can't say that I noticed someone extraordinary lately, but if I do I'll let you know.


What's more, I'm currently reviewing other campaign spreadsheets and adding names to my draft to send out invitations. I don't think there are many managers on the forum who care so much about the prestige of the campaign.
Kudos for the effort. Since you are on the lookout for a quality members, have you tried doing the same for lower ranked ones via The future of Bitcointalk: Low Ranking Top Merit earners in the past 30 days. Majority of names there are probably merit farmers, but there might a couple of genuine talents.
3216  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: 📝[Discussion topic] Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns📝 on: June 10, 2022, 02:08:05 PM
So guys.

Within 24 hours I will announce a campaign that will last four weeks in test mode, (rather large and on behalf of a fairly well-known brand). I would like to hear from you guys what, in your opinion, the conditions of the campaign should be in order for it to be ideal. Please be objective because we live in the real world.
Looking at the rules of the campaign that you are already running, you covered almost every complain that I have when look at many other campaigns (no minimum quota, no forcing to write in certain boards etc) but one thing that I think would improve your next campaign is to open it for lower rank members too, more specifically Member and Full Member ranks.

I know that there are no many quality new members that are climbing up those lower ranks, but I am sure that there would be at least few good ones that you could get on board. You don't have to set up a specific quota on how many of those can join, but it wouldn't hurt to keep it open for them, just in case some hidden gem appears. Tbh, I am surprised that more campaigns are not allowing lower ranks, seeing how hard is to fill campaigns with quality high rank members.

3217  Economy / Speculation / Re: Would you be willing to support anyone who gives the most accurate predictions? on: June 10, 2022, 06:18:34 AM
I mean If you find someone who could make you rich by accurately predicting the price of crypto for you and others to benefit from, will you support such person either by sharing part of your profits from your successful trades with him/her, or in other ways... Will you agree if you are asked to support him/her?
First of all, "accurately predicting" is nothing but a guesstimate. There are thousands of those predictions for any possible price and someone will simply end up predicting the correct price but that doesn't mean he knows what he is talking about or he knows more than the average person. I am not actively trading, but what little I know about is that it's all about possibilities and not about predicting the certain price.


Ask yourself this. If this person is so great at making predictions why doesn’t he just trade himself. You got 100x leveraged exchanges out there so there is no need to borrow money these days.
Some people are just so good and only want to help others Cheesy

Joke aside, there are legit companies that are trading for you and are very successful at it but those are certainly not contacting random people on the internet giving them price predictions.
3218  Economy / Economics / Re: Food crisis coming? What's wrong about it? It could be good on: June 10, 2022, 06:01:00 AM
If it will be a global crisis, I believe that countries will still unite to support each other just like what happened before. Our country experienced famine years ago and lots of countries have provided us with food supplies. I'm sure that the same thing would happen in the future.
On the contrary. If it comes to a global food shortage, countries will be less willing to help other countries simply because "global" food shortage means that whole world is affected by it  and not only a specific region like it usually is. With that being said, I don't expect a global food crisis. Sure, some regions will be affected for sure ( mainly the poorer ones, as always) but I don't expect more developed parts of the worlds to have big issues.




3219  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: PayPal allows users to withdraw Bitcoin to external wallets on: June 09, 2022, 07:19:09 AM
t direction.
I think most will continue to keep their BTC the way they have done so far, because if PP was their crypto bank, they will not see this option as an advantage.
I agree, and I think that's the main reason why PayPal introduced this change as they know their users and they concluded that even if they allow people to move crypto to their own wallet, majority will still keep it on PayPal, as usual.


t direction.
Still, maybe this opportunity will attract some new customers who know the benefits of controlling their private keys. If they were to pull off a smart business move, then they should lower the service fee so that they are competitive with those who still charge dearly for it.
I remember when PayPal first introduced thing thing, many people complained how that is not really good news as people couldn't move their crypto, but I've always seen PayPal as an useful idiot who will help the bitcoin adoption.


The information on Fees and Pricing has also been updated, being the following something to read with consideration:
Quote
The fee we will charge you is our estimate of the fee the network will take to process your transfer. The fee that you will pay to us may be higher or lower than the actual fee paid to the network, based on market conditions. If the actual network fee is higher, that amount is PayPal’s or its Service Provider’s responsibility. If the actual network fee is lower, PayPal or its Service Provider will retain the difference.
We can bet that it will be lower (in the above context) almost every time …
That's for sure, especially considering the fact that majority of their users are probably not tech savvy enough to check what's the actual fee, and that PayPal is ripping them off.
3220  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: PayPal allows users to withdraw Bitcoin to external wallets on: June 07, 2022, 06:34:57 PM
Crypto gives the ability of self custody, I always wonder why people still prefer to use custododial ways to keep their cryptocurrencies in a way they can never have complete control of their coins.
Because majority of people will never want that responsibility, to be their own bank. The more crypto goes into mainstream, the more people will use centralized exchanges and custodial wallets. It sucks, but that's reality and anyone who thinks that people will suddenly open their eyes and ditch all that centralized stuff is extremely naive.


Even if people can withdraw Bitcoin from Paypal they should know that this BTC will now be connected to their identity, in similar way like withdrawing from centralized exchanges with kyc registration.
I don't think that people who are buying Bitcoin via Paypal care much about that, as if the do they certainly wouldn't use PayPal to buy Bitcoin in the first place.


I think nobody really need PayPal,  but an alternative payment method might be good.
PayPal used to be quite useful back in the day when you didn't have much options, but situation is completely different now so I guess they have to introduce some changes to stay relevant.
