Aspettiamo fiduciosi i grafici di @Rikafip, che inserirň immediatamente, come al solito, non appena saranno prodotti, nell'eterna lotta tra la produttivitŕ e la pigrizia e impastare pizza! (ne so qualcosa, se non si fosse notato!)
Sarai felice di sapere che sto finendo la mia panoramica mensile e che dovrebbe essere pubblicata domani mattina. Grin

P.S Un'ottima panoramica, come sempre! Probabilmente farei qualcosa di cosě dettagliato per il mio consiglio locale se non fossi cosě pigro.
3362  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you own 1 Bitcoin? (2022 edition) on: May 28, 2022, 06:15:34 AM
Is it too embarrassing to say whether you hold 1 BTC or not ?
or Is it too embarrassing to tell that you can't afford to hold at least one Bitcoin ?
It's not about being embarrassed but wanting to avoid any chance for $5 wrench attack in case your identity leaks out.


As a Bitcoin lover and investor you should be open minded to these type of things.
That doesn't mean that you should shout around how much bitcoin you have. All my close friends and family know that I am into bitcoin but I don't share with them how much I have exactly, even though I live in the part of the world with very low crime rate but why even take any chance?


3363  Other / Meta / Re: What is the proper way to address a noun with a pronoun with Satoshi and others on: May 28, 2022, 05:49:45 AM
Yesterday, it occur to me that I don't know Satoshi gender, nobody does, it could be a person or people but in my previous thread, the first paragraph, I was looking for the right pronoun (he/she/they) and I couldn't get any as a subject to avoid the repetition of the noun in my thread. If Satoshi is a single person, what about the gender? is it a he or she?
Following the below mentioned rule, for me its a "he" and honestly I haven't spent a second thinking which pronoun should I use when mentioning Satoshi.



Another question is, how do you also address other objects like names in the forum with a pronoun when you don't even know who you are conversating with, You could offend a lady by calling her bro, there is gender in all profiles but for sake of privacy, many don't use it. How do you address other members without calling their names multiple times?
There is an old rule that says that everyone is male on the Internet until proven otherwise and that's the one I follow. I always address everyone online as "he" unless that person tells me its a she. As simple as that.

Sorry my friend, but you just took this picture http://clipart-library.com/clip-art/18-182277_pepperoni-pizza-png.htm, adjusted some colors, add a BTC, scroll some settings and hit done. This is less than 5 min work in MS Paint or photoshop online. While others spend at least an hour to buy ingredients, rinse them, cut them, organize everything on dough and spent 10-15min cooking.  

If you just want to share this picture, then there can share it in Pizza Day 2022 topic for example. If you have posted it to get merit, then you should have tried more.
In the previous two pizza contests Cyrus explicitly said that he has nothing against people submitting images of the pizza. You could even just buy pizza and post the image of that and it would be accepted so anything pizza related goes. Of course it makes more sense to make pizza by yourself, but until rules regarding that change, this will be seen as a valid submission.


I can't cook! so i tried this on photoshop...
If you want your submission to count for the contest you will have to share it in Discord too.
3365  Other / Meta / Re: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity on: May 26, 2022, 06:29:37 AM
I don't know if it has been commented in some of the 17 pages of the thread, has the activity on local boards increased lately?
Nope, haven't noticed any increase lately. If anything, numbers are going down (for majority of local boards) but that's not just local boards issue as English part of the forum is experiencing the same thing.


I say this because I see that there are some signature campaigns that pay to write on the local boards, about 40/50% of the total weekly quota, we have been commenting on the subject in the Spanish section, and at least I remember years ago it wasn't like that, I don't know if this could have had any influence.
I just checked and out of 16 active signature campaigns only 4 don't count posts written in local boards so yeah, situation does look good regarding that compared to some previous times. Then again, I don't think that local boards are affected much with this rule as I think that people will write in their local boards whether posts count or not. For example, (until recently) I've been 2 years in signature campaign that doesn't count local board posts and that didn't stop me from being active in my local and I think its the same thing for majority of other members.



Come on! You are pulling excuses. We both know we aren’t talking about sickness of things to do at work! Grin Grin Tongue
As we say in Croatia, "dobra izlika zlata vrijedi" or "good excuse is worth in gold".  Cheesy

Hey @Rikafip. Stop Slacking! Where have you gone? How comes that it is almost the end of the month, and we both haven't published our graphs (yet??)
You are absolutely right, I am seriously slacking. First I was procrastinating at the beginning of the month when I had plenty of free time but then things got really hectic at work and on top of that I got sick. But as they say that kick in the ass is one step forward so thanks for the reminder.  Grin I will try to publish the charts this week and if not, hopefully by Tuesday (May 31st).

Slažem se s tobom da vjerovatno treba voljeti tu vrstu filmova da bi ti se svidjeo The Northman.
Da, to je jednostavno tip filma koji nije za mase. Niti prethodna dva od istog redateslja nisu bila takva, a tesko da ce i slijedeci biti klasicni mainstream film.


Jedan film koji je meni isto bio uvrnut a tebi bi se možda svidjeo je Natural Born Killers. Film je iz 1994 i radili su ga Oliver Stone i Tarantino. Htio sam da vidim kakav je zbog Woody Harrelsona i Robert Downey Jr-a. Poslje nekih 20-30 minuta sam ga isključio. Jesi gledao i jel ti leži ta vrsta filmova?
Gledao sam sve sto je Stone snimio  tako da sam naravno gledao i ovaj koji si ti naveo (mislim da imam negdje i DVD, jos iz vremena kad sam skupljao filmove). Meni taj i nije bas bio nesto posebno uvrnut i pogledao sam ga bez problema. Doduse ima sigurno 20 godina da sam zadnji put pogledao.  Ja mogu probaviti skoro sve vrste filmova ali imam i ja par redatelja koji mi jednostavno ne leze: Lynch (ne valja mi nista osim Dune i Straight Story), Bunuel, Jodorowsky etc, znaci sve sto ide previse u surealno i bizarno nije moja salica caja. 



Mislim da mi je ovo bio rekord, 4 dana bez ijednog posta na forumu.

Ladies and gents, here is my entry. I planned to make pizza on 22nd, but I got sick on Saturday and today I finally felt good enough to bake the pizza. It's pretty much standard one with ham, cheese (the ones used for letters is Milner as its less fatty therefore it doesn't melt too much) and mushrooms.

3369  Local / Off-topic (Hrvatski) / Re: Kutak za kulturni trenutak on: May 21, 2022, 09:25:06 PM
Gledao sam film The Northman koji traje preko dva sata i nije ga loše pogledati, ali ja nisam impresioniran, možda zbog engleskog jezika s lošim vikinško-nordijskim naglaskom.

Sigurno je bolji od popularnih filmova kao npr Doctor Strange i sličnih gluposti koje se vrte ovih dana, ali valjda sam ja očekivao nešto više nakon Vikings serije.
Pogledao i ja The Northman i meni je bio dosta dobar. Ja sam veliki fan Roberta Eggersa tako da sam otprilike znao sta ocekivati i da sigurno nece biti neka klasicna vikinska makljaza, njega taj pristup ne zanima. A i ovaj film ne bi usporedio sa Vikings serijom jer su dosta drukciji; The Northman vise vuce na tu art briju (koja je ipak pod kontrolom) dok su Vikinzi ipak cisti mainstream tako da ako netko ocekuje nesto u tom stilu mogao bi se razocarati (moja zena bas voli Vikings seriju a Northmana je jedva odgledala). Ako bi Northmana usporedjivao sa necim vikinske tematike to bi onda bio Valhalla Rising. Tako da, ovaj film bi preporucio samo onome za koga znam kakav mu je filmski ukus, inace gledajte na vlastitu odgovornost.


Poceo je i star trek: strange new worlds - jos nisam poceo gledat, vjerujem da su opet crnci, lezbace i naravno deseci izvlacenje iz nemogucih situacija.
Ja sam za sada pogledao jednu epizodu i cini se dosta solidno na prvu. Cini mi se da nece previse pushati tu svoju agendu kao sto su radili u Discoveryu koji je bio tesko smece, ali treba imati na umu da je Star Trek oduvijek bio progresivna serija.


Mene samo zanima sto ljudi koji imaju vise servisa rade i koliko love placaju zato. Preskupo i preglupo.
Ovo za streaming servise sam cuo od najmanje 5 frendova, dok nisu napokon kupili svoj prvi smart tv i uzeli Netflix da eto probaju. I sad im je Netflix zakon. Ja trenutno imam Netflix, Amazon, HBO Max i Apple i sve skupa je mozda 40 eura max, sto i nije neka cifra, to je doslovno jedan rucak za dvoje u restoranu. Glavni razlog zasto meni nije problem placati te servise je zato sto znam da ta lova ide na produkciju kvalitetnih serija.  A kome su skupi streaming servisi, uvijek moze podijeliti sa nekim pretplatu tako da ispadne jeftinije. Iako, kako je krenulo ovo sa stancanjem novih streaming servisa (dobar primjer je Disney Plus koji je maknuo sve od Marvela sa Netflixa) na kraju bi se moglo dogoditi da se ljudi jednostavno vrate nazad na torrentiranje.



Napokon sam uhvatio vremena i odgledao prvih 8 epizoda nove serije Bosch: Legacy u kojoj nastavljamo pratiti dogodovstine Harrya Boscha. Prethodna serija Bosch je jedna od najboljih policijskih serija uopce (meni odmah iza Zice) a ova nova nastavlja u istom stilu, tako da velika preporuka. A i ima na Amazonu.

E da, probao gledati i hvaljeni Everything Everywhere All at Once i prekinuo sam na pola, jednostavno je preveliki cirkus za moj ukus. To je onaj tip filma ili ti je super ili negledljiv, nema izmedju.

The snowshow started to spam my topic in the Croatian part of the forum about Buffett, so I had to lock it in the end.
Yeah I saw, that was a good move.


I hope he will leave us alone now, but unfortunately I am not very optimistic  Grin
As long as people keep trying to have serious conversations with that troll he will keep coming back and spreading this bullshit. Just look at this thread for example; he is trolling people there for months and that topic has 19 pages now so ofc ourse he wont stop as that's what he wants, attention. Worst of all, everyone already knows that he is ban evading troll yet they keep trying to have serious conversation with him. Some are probably doing it out of boredom and as some sort of exercise while others are using him to fill their signature quotas.



I do like the fact that this forum has way less strict rules than any other forum I've ever been part of but that means that there is no effective way to stop trolls like fxsurfer.

Have Cardano actually done anything yet? Last I checked (which admittedly was a while ago) they had been vaporware for like 4 years.
Nope, still the same old thing, Charles Hoskinson selling a pipe dream to army of his lemmings. AFAIK bunch of shitcoins based their projects on Cardano to benefit from the hype while ADA was pumping last year (I just checked and it managed to surpass 2018s all time high) but due their constant delays and false promises they had to switch on other blockhains.


Marketcap of billions without even a working prototype.
Their followers are even more zealous than BSV ones so no wonder that they are still in top 10 mcap wise.

I saw there are already two pizza competitions on the discord channel and it was voted through discord, does the third competition will be held on discord too?

Yeah, there was a bitcoin pizza competition for the last two years and this year it should be on Discord as well.


I'm so excited to taking a part, however @Cyrus not yet made an official announcement when the competition start and ended
It will probably be announced tomorrow. Iirc competition usualy lasts for a couple of days, and then members have few more days to vote.
3373  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is diversification into different coins really a good advice for Newbies? on: May 21, 2022, 06:30:29 AM
Most famous Altcoins of 2017 / 2018 didn't even set a new all-time-high again in 2021 / 2022:
The one you are missing in that table is ETH and it managed to set a new all time high in this bull run as back in early 2018 ETH was at $1448 while in November 2021 it was $4815. I am not sure about Cardano, but I think that it also managed to surpass the old all time high during this bull run. Those are just few exceptions that confirms the rule though and probably the same thing will happen with all these new altcoins that are recently popular like Solana, Polkadot, Chainlink etc.
3374  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Pizza Day 2022 on: May 20, 2022, 12:46:55 PM
Interesting to see pizza day in a day in the bitcoin bearish phase and the price falling so some newbies were doing panic selling at lower prices while they can hold and all they need to do is to be patient and don't fall into the emotional trap just like happened on the pizza day. The guy who owned this amount of bitcoins and sold bitcoins because he didn't truly leave on it and couldn't hold it, I believe a few years later when the price reached much higher price the people who sold their asset at price will have the same feelings of the guy who traded bitcoins for a pizza.

Laszlo is quoted saying "To be fair, the pizzas were pretty good." Haha, so I think he has no regrets!
Also, it is important to note that Lsszlo didn't buy pizzas with bitcoin because he couldn't hold bitcoin or he was afraid, but because he wanted to prove that if you can buy food with bitcoin, its as good as any other money. And he indeed proved that

What I was trying to do was make it clear that I didn't want somebody to send me a Papa John's gift card, or a Domino's credit or anything like that - I wanted food and I wanted to pay Bitcoins for food. Because if I can buy food with it, then it's it's as real as any other money, right? Food is a basic necessity -- if I can eat from Bitcoin, I can live off of Bitcoin.



If I had my own pizzeria, I would run something like an advertising campaign using bitcoin's theme that day. I would offer customers a pizza with a design similar to yours (that is, using bitcoin logo and a similar theme) with the option to pay only in BTC. A small bonus to bitcoin connoisseurs who know about this significant day for this community.
None of the pizzeria chains thought of this?
None that I know of and that's just tells you how far away are we from mass adoption. Looking at the bright side of that, it means that we are still early. Smiley

I want to say thank you for moderators to take care of this case and I wouldn't surprised if I see there's new account/low rank account shitposting on WO thread to earn easy merit Roll Eyes
Iirc there are couple of low rank accounts that had same M.O.; they both active in Bangladesh local thread and trying to farm merit in WO thread so maybe he already has an alt account ready. Keep in mind that an average monthly salary in Bangladesh is ~$150  and he was making almost double that in his signature campaign so if he doesn't already have an alt account ready, he is making a new one as we speak.

What are your plans for bitcoin pizza day this year?
Same as I've been doing for the last 4-5 years, gonna bake my own bitcoin themed pizza. That is, If I have enough time. Worst case scenario is just ordering the pizza, but its not the same thing as making your own.

My last two bitcoin themed pizzas

 
3377  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Crypto crash (LUNA/UST) on: May 20, 2022, 06:16:17 AM
Don't get under impression that because LUNA/UST is down 99% it can't go down even more as this is not the normal situation. A lot of people got rekted by trying to seize this "opportunity" and were buying the dip, thinking that it has to go back up. Well, it didn't and if they bothered to check why LUNA/UST is tanking so hard they wouldn't even try that. After all, there is an old trading rule that says "don't try to catch a falling knife".

My advice is to stay away from it and if you have urge to gamble, go to casino. You will have better chances there.
3378  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [unofficial] CoinDebit NO-KYC pre-paid cards? on: May 19, 2022, 05:24:34 PM
but they confirmed this service is only for United States merchants, so it won't work in EU and other parts of the world... scammers would sold me the card asap.
Well, even CryptoDebit refused some stuff, like selling reloadable debit cards so just because they didn't want to scam you immediately doesn't mean that they are legit. Smarter scammers tend to play the long game anyway.


You can start company in 2020 and register domain in 2021, I don't see anything strange about that.
Well, it would be interesting to see how they offered their service in 2020 without website. And as I mentioned, domain expires in about 2-3 weeks which is another red flag for me.



Terms of service are often times copy-pasted, but I suspect that first one posting this terms was CoinDebit and CryptoDebit later used their idea.
To be honest, I wouldn't even tag someone (at least not with negative feedback, maybe neutral ) for copying the TOS, if thats the only bad thing I could find. Yeah, its a lazy and shitty thing to do but it doesn't mean that some service is a scam as so many do that. And yeah I agree, due similar name and the fact that CoinDebit is older than Criptodebit chances are that they indeed copied from them.


Still, I am strictly unsupportive of projects that steal from others.
Same here, but imho its a different thing to copy/paste something as generic as TOS usually is, and to copy the whole idea and concept of some business/project, like classic scams tend to do.
3379  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [unofficial] CoinDebit NO-KYC pre-paid cards? on: May 19, 2022, 12:21:46 PM
I noticed similarities not only in the names of both projects but also in how they love stealing the content of other, more reputable, companies so that their own business would look more attractive and trustworthy to inexperienced clients.
Copy/pasting TOS is pretty much the standard practice, even by legit business. It sucks, but unfortunately that's how it is now.


Had they appeared on the forum officially, I would have redtagged them like I did in the case of CriptoDebit.
Pretty much this. That's why I said that they don't look any better than CriptoDebit and would most likely end up the same way.

Anyway I haven't any tool ready yet. I guess I will have to improvise, as I am terribly busy IRL in these weeks.

But I will come up with Something!
Yeah same here, also very busy this week. I was even contemplating about skipping this year's bitcoin pizza day but it would be a shame to stop this tradition. If nothing, I plan to make a regular pizza, without any fancy stuff.


If I remember Lazlo ordered an Hawaiian Pizza, which is out of question, for obvious reasons.
 
Hm I don't think so as he explicitly stated that he doesn't like any weird stuff on pizza, and pineapple is epitome of weird when we talk about pizza toppings.

I like things like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, etc.. just standard stuff no weird fish topping or anything like that.  I also like regular cheese pizzas which may be cheaper to prepare or otherwise acquire.
