3301  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][WEBD][CPU][POW&POS] 🌍 WebDollar - Currency of the Internet | in browser on: November 06, 2020, 07:56:07 PM
Earlier this year (in May) I saw a WebDollar price estimation for this year. I waited for the time to pass, in order to see how it does not come true. The estimation circulated on various FB groups back then. Curiously, now it can be hardly found all over the Internet, as the author carefully deleted it from almost all the places. Don't know why. I managed to find it though on a FB group named WebDollar - Cryptocurrencies in your Browser. Let's see it.



The prediction states a ridiculous price of 0.0003$ for 1 WEBD in August (which did not happen), 0.0045$ in October (which also did not happen) and 0.01$ in December (which will not happen). Actually, according to CoinMarketCap, WEBD reached a top of 0.00019 in August and 0.000085 in October (a value lower than in August).

Interesting, the author wrote back in May also a Medium article about his estimation. For unknown reasons (/s), the article was also deleted.



But who is the author though? Now things become even more interesting hilarious.



Apparently, the author is a barber (yes, that's correct: a barber), working as a barber and also as a part of WebDollar development team. So all the hopes are in a barber. All good.

Now the question is: why the barber Blockchain developer isn't listed on WebDollar's website? Is the team ashamed of having a barber among the other members Huh Searching for the barber on Google turns a few results, saying that he is actually a WEBD investor, not a WEBD employee. Was the barber fired by the team for the ridiculous estimation? Is the barber still working with them, but underground?

The truth is out there...

I think the "Term" for 777Coin and Bitvest campaigns should be changed from "p/2w" to "p/4w". It's already been 5 months now (since June) since lightlord makes the payments once at four weeks. Although the campaigns' topics aren't updated, this is how the payment works. I hope this helps.
3305  Economy / Digital goods / Re: [WTS] Bitmain coupons 1/2 price on: November 05, 2020, 10:02:03 PM
If you obtain more coupons in the future, please let me know. I'm interested in all Bitmain coupons you may have. All kinds, all values. Thank you.

Thanks @GazetaBitcoin, but it seems like Meow survived both of our reports. Since it's Meow coin, I guess it makes sense that it has nine lives  Tongue

Report marked as "Good" but it's still there and still being spammed. I'm gonna report it again, let's see what happens this time.

Looool true! My report looks the same. Being serious now, I think sometimes it takes a while until a good report (flagged as good) gets action done towards it (either it means a post gets deleted or a topic gets locked). Sometimes nothing happens towards the good reports, but other things happen toward the author. I remember I had a few hundreds of good reports made for a guy (I hope I remember this well as I can't verify in my report history anymore, as more than 30 days passed and the reports are gone) but they were never deleted. However, the author got banned. So maybe MeowCoinCommunity got banned? Or his account is in course of being banned...? Just wait a few days prior making the new report, this is what I would recommend. Not hurry with it as it may get flagged as bad this time, if it's made prior the action per se is taken for the previous report.

Indeed, it's also possible that the mod forgot to delete / lock the topic, but we can't know if it's that or if it takes a while for seeing the action taken against the topic / author.
3307  Other / Meta / Re: Wall of fame / shame. Shit posts so bad that they are actually funny on: November 05, 2020, 09:18:09 AM
The below user has such a slow connection that his application inside a campaign (made while the campaign was open) was posted on the forum 15 days later (when the campaign became CNFP). I didn't see such slow connection in the dial-up era. It must be hard for him to use Internet. Sad story.

the time I read the post of the campaign manager, I have already posted my application [...] I have a slow connection maybe.

Lol, wait, what? So you imply that you saw OP's post announcing a free slot from 21 October but until your application was posted the date switched to 4 November due to your slow connection?? Jesus, I saw slow connection in my life, but not that slow lol. Your message was posted after 15 days due to your slow connection?! So you mean you posted while the campaign was open to new participants, but until your application was posted 15 days passed and the campaign became CNFP? Curiously, your recent messages are posted faster, not in 15 days.
3308  Other / Off-topic / Re: Share Good Movies Please? on: November 05, 2020, 08:21:22 AM
I just updated the Moviemaniacs Gang with all the contributors from last month. We have 3 new members, reaching a total amount of 172 members in our gang! More details here.

As you can see, there is a big drop of the number of new members, compared to previous months. This is in part because I made the October update (which was supposed to count new members joined in September) on October 13th, meaning that now it was less time to count new users until the end of the month (the November update, counting new users from October, actually counted the new users which contributed after the update from October 13th). But also, the reduced number of new contributors is determined by the anti-spam rule instated in OP recently, which means the rule works and it really is useful. As you see from the last posts, all those which did not respect OP's rule were deleted (or they are in course of being deleted) and all the correct ones were more useful, giving more information about the suggested movies.



November premieres: unfortunately, I have nothing on my list for this month. But I'm looking forward for movies suggested by others Smiley
3309  Other / Off-topic / Re: [ANN] The Moviemaniacs Gang on: November 05, 2020, 08:16:15 AM
Update (November 05th, 2020): just added the contributors of last month to OP.

Here they are (3 new members): oHnK, Simakura, Stalker22.

Welcome to our gang!

Congrats Coolcryptovator! You are a legend now! And you are a pure legend, as you started from 0 merits. I think this deserves even more appreciation, as very few users managed to do that (Ddmr can confirm Smiley ).

Keep up the good contributions, do what you do best and I wish you good luck for reaching other precious milestones inside the forum!

2. Spambuster.......GazetaBitcoin, Yoshie

Thank you Coyster for the nomination! It seems that my continuous work for eradicating spam did not go unnoticed.

Discovery of the Year: Ratimov, GazetaBitcoin

Oh well, oh well! It's a great honor to see my name nominated to a section by Capo di tutti capi! Smiley Thank you Foxpup! Seriously: I really appreciate!

At OP: giving the importance of this vote, I think it should weight at least as 20 other votes Smiley

Can someone else report that thread please for organizing giveaway in exchange for comments? Maybe then thread will be nuked.

Jist did it! As always, have no fear, the cleaner is here!

Now lets's hope that mods will take action. Report is done.
3313  Economy / Services / Re: LoyceV's Avatar for Rent [first 🦊YEAR🦊 (85 weeks) rented out] on: November 04, 2020, 07:56:33 PM

Actually, it never happened.

As Major Briggs clearly informed agent Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks, the owls are not what they seem. Be aware! The log lady also confirmed this...



Later edit: it seems that the disruption of space-time continuum spreads among the forum. The user below made a post on Best Change campaign on October 21st, while the campaign was open to participants, and when the application was actually posted the date changed to November 4th! That's amazing. He says it's due to his slow connection the reason for having his application posted after 15 days, but I think it's the space-time continuum disruption the real cause...

the time I read the post of the campaign manager, I have already posted my application [...] I have a slow connection maybe.

Lol, wait, what? So you imply that you saw OP's post announcing a free slot from 21 October but until your application was posted the date switched to 4 November due to your slow connection??

Yep, what I was thinking is happening.



Last week, Foxpup played with the wrong capacitors or, even worst, she divided by 0. In case you are not aware what this means, see below:



Space-time continuum was disrupted and things will never be the same again.

I think we're doomed.

3315  Economy / Reputation / Re: The shameful Romanian translation of Bitcoin white paper from Bitcoin.org on: November 04, 2020, 03:52:26 PM
Yes, the translation is correct (1). And yes (as I already written), the first so-called translation is really bad (2).

Thank you for confirming my allegations, NeuroticFish!

However I advise you don't follow this person's "translation" and make your own from scratch. If you do this I believe that you'll have the chance to get even better wordings since you won't have to follow his structure. For now I feel like you still kept a bit more than you should have done from the bad text  Cheesy  (for example you fixed at least twice "cel platit" with "beneficiarul", but you've missed at least one; this most probably would have not happened if you would have not been trying to fix)

So ... leave the crappy one. Just do your own. I am sure it will be much better if you even stop thinking about the previous garbage.

Hehe, thank you for the confidence. Yes, I'll do a new translation from scratch, as I said before:

Thank you for correcting the link, NeuroticFish! But first things first Smiley I'll let you all know when I'll finish the translation made from scratch.

[...]

I will let you all know once I finish a new translation for this very precious document which, sadly, was humiliated by Nea Sandu and goanadupabitcoin.

what's important is for all of the accounts related to him be identified so that people can avoid using him in any kind of translation service as he provides a terrible job at it. You did a great job on connecting all of them considering that he is found in different areas.

Thank you, Harlot! Yes, those clowns should be avoided by all means. What's sad though is that their tons of shillings are still on the forum, filling the space with their shit posts. But I guess this is the result of being acquaintance of Cyrus. You can spam the forum all the way! It's also sad that Cyrus himself didn't intervene in the discussion, as he didn't intervene in the topic linked by me in OP where I stated that I publicly asked why my reports for their shillings are unhandled. I'd really like to see what he would have to say on this matter, but I doubt he'll ever answer.
3316  Economy / Reputation / Re: The shameful Romanian translation of Bitcoin white paper from Bitcoin.org on: November 03, 2020, 06:52:54 PM
@OP if you don't want their names to be seen by others you might want to blur out some things in your "small preview" post.

To be honest, I do not care. The white paper is a public document, accesible by anyone worldwide. That name may (or may not) be true. From my side, I used (wrote) only their forum nyms. That girl I was talking about also has a name but I didn't say it anywhere. I just stated that she uses the account goanadupabitcoin.

Regarding goanadupabitcoin.ro's website owner, I stated that his nym is Nea Sandu (on the forum) or Ike. As you can see, the translation was posted by IkeGDB, which is another nym he uses. Regarding the name stated un the translated document, that is not my concern anymore - at least forum-wise. I know in reality if that is (or is not) the real name of Nea Sandu aka Ike but I did not state anything here about that as this is not the focus of the topic. It's his responsibility for writing that name there, not mine. OP is not doxing anyone. Just exposing two clowns and their masquerade.

Hey there! Still interested in selling the coupons or are you another fake seller trying to scam? I sent you 2 PMs already, none being replied. I want to buy. Do you want to sell? I'd expect more interest if you really have the coupons and if you really want to sell them.

2. SpamBuster .............................. GazetaBitcoin

Thank you for the nomination, QueenVera. Again, it was unexpected by me and a very nice surprise Smiley Thank you once more!
3319  Economy / Reputation / Re: The shameful Romanian translation of Bitcoin white paper from Bitcoin.org on: November 03, 2020, 10:16:13 AM
Same with the Bengali translation. Recently I have read the Bengali version a few pages and found the translation is a total shit. The way sentences were presented was looking like automated translation or translation from people who have very little idea about bitcoin.
I have planned to translate the white paper and submit it again. I think you should do the same, forget everything else.

Great finding, Little Mouse! Good luck with this translation. I'll do the same.

Based on my prior experience of working with you on your volunteer translations of Bitcoin advocacy essays (plus my political manifesto!), I have confidence in your own work.

Thank you for the kind words, nullius! Indeed, I put lots of efforts for each translation I make, this is why it takes me way more hours compared to other translator, but I'm a very methodical and meticulous person and I always want to ensure that the final product is in an exceptional shape from any point of view, including that I make sure the translations are also idiomatic and they contain all Romanian diacritics. And this takes time. Not many translators spend their time to write also with diacritics (ă, â, Î, î, Ș, ș, Ț, ț) and they use simple characters instead (a, i, S, s, T, t). Besides, an idiomatic translation requires to really put your brain at work in order to come up with expressions from the respective language. Oh well, GDB's translation is not idiomatic at all.

And if you were to create a translation, you could create a PR (Pull Request).

I should elaborate [...]

Thank you for all the thorough guidelines, nullius. I also read your forked topic. I wish I could merit you, but the forum doesn't allow me as I already sent you 50 merits in the last 30 days... I'll start with the translation first and when the time will come I'll reach to you in case I won't understand exactly every detail.

An independent translation would probably be less effort than trying to fix somebody else’s mess; and why should an incompetent translator retain byline credit for the result of painstaking line-by-line corrections?

Yes, I came to this conclusion as well, also taking into consideration that you and other members suggested the same. I'll present below a corrected version of actual translation which contains the Abstract, Introduction and Transactions parts, as I managed to correct these meanwhile. However, what you'll see below represents just a correction for the actual translation and not the way I would translate these parts. Basically I corrected the text written incorrectly, the alignment issues, typos and the words which made no sense. But I do not agree at all with this translation, be it corrected by me or by someone else. And that's because (1) each translator uses his own style for translating a text (the words can be translated with various other words, depending on translator's consideration for which "sound" better) and also because (2) this translation is not idiomatic. It looks like it was made because it has to be made. It does not express Satoshi's thoughts; the reader does not feel the same as he would feel when reading Satoshi's document. But again: actual translation wasn't made by someone knowing what s/he's doing: it was made by someone which is an illiterate and which doesn't understand anything from computers field, at general, nor from Bitcoin, in particular.

Github is not very friendly for newbie, so take your time GazetaBitcoin. Follow nullius advices.

Yes, I'll proceed as advised, bitmover. Thank you for the suggestion!


Thank you for correcting the link, NeuroticFish! But first things first Smiley I'll let you all know when I'll finish the translation made from scratch. Meanwhile, I kindly ask you to confirm / deny if (1) the corrected text below is err.... correct Smiley ; (2) the text from the middle of the pictures sounds absurd in Romanian (in part) and looks like it was written by andulolika or even worst someone who used his / her feet instead of brain. I know you already confirmed for the first selection I presented above, but I also kindly ask you to confirm for this selection as well. Prior getting to the decision to not finish correcting the entire text I correct a part of it and I'd like everybody to know that what I'm stating is true.





Ok, here we go. So I continued to correct the actual translation for a bit and I made again some screenshots, presenting the corrected text (at the left), the actual text (in the middle) and Satoshi's text (at the right). I also added Satoshi's document in order to show that the actual translation, except that it is shameful, it doesn't even respect the formatting of the text used by Satoshi (including, but not limited to: spaces between rows; the "Abstract" section indent; the missing page numbers; the incorrect alignment of the text (centered vs. justified) etc.). I didn't count anymore how many mistakes I found so far, but they are hundreds. The pictures are not truncated with height=400, for better visibility over the text.

If anyone still doubts or has questions, please let me know.








I will let you all know once I finish a new translation for this very precious document which, sadly, was humiliated by Nea Sandu and goanadupabitcoin.
