This challenges has now make registration of bitcointalk account difficult mostly for the newbies and thereby also causing limitations to the population of people wishing to be long to this lovely ecosystem.
I Suggests if account registration can be done without VPN or either if the related problem above can be Minimize.
I guess you meant about evil IP points. Check a few topics
If you don't want to pay a registration fee / evil IP fee, you can try your luck with another account. Obviously, you must do it at other places, with different IP addresses.

If you love the username of restricted account, you must pay the fee that is not expensive. It is a privilege to join this amazing community in which you can learn a lot of valuable things. A small cost, if you are unlucky is not wasteful.

but why? the Donators and VIP members didn't donate in dollars but in bitcoin.
Good point!

Indeed, companies or tools that get earning in cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, Ethereum or whatever else don't lose if they use what they receive as payments or donations.

I understand the value in fiat currencies will be big, obviously and undeniable but as said, for donators, they have huge money and if they are companies like above, they can donate if they want to contribute.

If you know the last donator (with 10 BTC) is Claymore, it makes sense. In 2017, Ethereum mining is very hot and Claymore is the mining tool for Ethereum miners.

The same goes for Bitcoin tumbler services like Chip Mixer.
The same goes for your trading fees: If you trade Bitcoin to USDT, pay your trading fees in BTC or USDT. If you trade ETH to BTC, pay your trading fee in ETH or BTC. Exchanges earn such money, depend on your trading. They earn more if you trade BTC, less if you trade shit altcoins. Trading fees are not fixed in fiat or stable coin.

Difference is officially from taker and maker fee (%), not from trading pair but in fiat value, trading pair makes sense.

I see how he has extra fans installed on the rig. I will probably do the same once I get some bucks back. Since I don't wanna rush spending from my own savings now, I will await some payments and then go for the modifications.
You should not feel serious about the cost, financially. Those fans (or exhausts) are very cheap. They are not expensive and will give you almost same cooling effects but at very cheaper cost than air conditioner.

Disadvantage: They are a little noisy.  Grin

Do not know what it pays or if it pays but it would be okay by me to do either one.
Yes, they will get payments but their payments will be decided by levels of things they handle on the forum.

Like I said,,, people have no jobs and no money, anything they can get they are spending on food and even earning second incomes and third incomes to pay for bills. It is not that they do not want to save in Bitcoin it is about not even having money to save and even eating their current savings already. So no, I cannot see how pandemic is good for poor people to buy BTC.
The pandemic has impact on Bitcoin but it does not give the poor chances to get rich. They have many other things to solve every day and with them, investment is something out of hands.

Firstly, the pandemic brings more QEs from big nations that in turn help people are more aware of the instinct (hyper)inflation of fiat currencies. They are more attracted to the fixed supply of Bitcoin.

Secondly, the halving in May 2020 comes in time, 2 months after the pandemic announcement from World Health Organization. It hep to amplify the impacts from the pandemic.

Lastly, the massive participation of institutes and their investments amplify Bitcoin more among the crowd.

Together, those factors contribute to the mini bull run for Bitcoin.

You did not say clear in this sentence but based on your topic title, I guess you talked about Bitcoin.

Please $10k is not calling, so forget $3k. I see you change your price calling in every of your topics. If Bitcoin falls to $3k, you will call a price at $1k.   Grin

I pay attention to your air conditioner.

  • It is right that the air conditioner should be directly aimed at your rigs, to cool them down, not the whole room.
  • It brings more direct effects for your rigs but in generally, the overal temperature of your room is somewhat stable, a little bit higher than around the rigs.

I see temperature on the chart and see it is not low. With a temperature around 60 to 65 Celcius degree, it is not perfect if you use air conditioner in the aspect of power cost.
Alternatives
  • Install more fans for your rigs
  • Keep your mining room as opened as possible for better ventilation.

Have you tried to install 2 or 3 fans (exhausters) for your each of your rigs. It will give you similar temperature but with cheaper power cost. Wink

Similar set up as same as in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4M7isj3c80

I don't know how long have you been in crypto. If you are both newbie in crypto and on the forum, please learn about Bitcoin first. It is the Bitcoin forum, for talk (discussions) about Bitcoin. There are other things here but main purposes and main parts are for Bitcoin.

When are you more knowledgable about Bitcoin, you can help other newbies or other senior members but don't have enough knowledge about Bitcoin.

Honestly, in the past, I participated in the Livecoin exchange's signature campaign, because I believed it is not a scam. Last year, Livecoin did a scam exit.
It's not your fault they did so, nor could you have predicted it. You participating in a Livecoin campaign before they turned evil isn't the same thing as putting on a signature by 1xbet and not caring that there are hundreds of users who got scammed and had their winnings or deposits stolen by that same casino.  
In fact, I did not participate in that campaign in the first phase that was managed by Hhampuz. After Hhampuz stopped managing it and the community separated about Livecoin is scam or non-scam, I joined it because I believe they are not scam. That's it. It is my tough decision honestly but I do not regret because my understanding is inaccurate for that case.
3450  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BitCoin: is it really finite? on: June 07, 2021, 12:26:06 PM
Why is Bitcoin’s supply limit set to 21 million?
Quote
According to an email purportedly shared between Nakamoto and Bitcoin Core contributor Mike Hearn, Satoshi reasoned that if 21 million coins were to be used by some fraction of the world economy, 0.001 BTC (1 mBTC) could be worth around €1. This prediction came true back in 2013, when Bitcoin first broke through the €1,000 price point; today, each mBTC is currently worth closer to €8.25.

Although Satoshi compares the price of Bitcoin to the Euro in his email, some simple mathematics indicates he may have had a much grander vision for Bitcoin—better explaining why the 21 million maximum figure was chosen.

At the time of Bitcoin's creation, the entire world's money supply stood at approximately $21 trillion. This figure, known as the M1 money supply, is made up of the total value of all the physical money in the world, including cash, coins, travelers' checks, and more.

If Bitcoin were to grow to become the single world currency—replacing all those that the M1 figure is comprised of—then each BTC would be worth $1 million. Because there are 100 million satoshi in each Bitcoin, this would place the value of each satoshi at $0.01.

Another explanation is simply math

Quote
Calculate the number of blocks per four year cycle:

6 blocks per hour
* 24 hours per day
* 365 days per year
* 4 years per cycle
= 210,240
~= 210,000

Sum all the block reward sizes:

50 + 25 + 12.5 + 6.25 + 3.125 + … = 100

Multiply the two:

210,000 * 100 = 21 million.

Or just look at the graph:
...
Obviously it won't ever cross (or even reach) 21 million.

I am on the forum not so long ago and have little knowledge of the previous rules. For 2 years of being on bitcointalk, I constantly read posts that moderation and trust are two different things, that scams are not moderated and moderators do not interfere in proceedings regarding scams.
Neither scam not trust are moderated per (un)official rules
19. Possible (or real) scams and Trust ratings are not moderated (to prevent moderation abuse).
Additionally, each moderator has own perspective and own way to interpret rules and handle specific cases.
Quote
23. When deciding if a user has broken the rules, the staff have the right to follow their interpretation of the rules.[e]

Quote
So, after all, the scam was moderated before, or was it the arbitrariness of a particular moderator, who in fact did not have the right to make such changes to the topic name and in the topic itself?
I think the rule 19 says clear enough.
  • Sometimes, the fact can not be found too easily.
    • A good service can be a scam until proofs are clear. Honestly, in the past, I participated in the Livecoin exchange's signature campaign, because I believed it is not a scam. Last year, Livecoin did a scam exit.
    • I did not regret about my participation and my wrong belief in their service. I did not say they are scam and participated in their campaign, LOL.
  • The forum is not a court of justice and proofs here can not be enough per local laws. It also does not make sense if the forum tries to be a global court for all services, companies on Earth.

Same for the request or unofficial votes from community for special account title, such as Memoriam. theymos emphasizes that he does not want to involve in such cases too much or make it as a traditional process when one member passes away. It is hard to verify that one person actually dies.

You can see it in the profile that he/she just registered not long ago. Let's guide this member and have more people to contribute in this forum.

Definition of tokens. Theymos made that topic in 2017 when the crypto market is flooded with ICOs and ERC20 tokens.

I quote the important explanation, if you want to understand more with examples, please visit that topic.

Quote
👉 A cryptocurrency is self-sufficient, not relying on any other cryptocurrency to function (not including merged mining), and requiring its own software.

👉A token works like a cryptocurrency at a high level, but relies on some other cryptocurrency's infrastructure in order to function, and often (but not necessarily always) lacks its own software.
3455  Other / Meta / Re: BTC Clock - Block Time tracing in each Post (additional too Date and Time) on: June 06, 2021, 04:12:25 AM
For example: If you and me discuss about a specific block (or a specific block happening like Halving) than it is clear for all readers if a post is made before or after the block that we discuss about.
It's unnecessary.
  • If you want to mention about a specific block, two ways to do so
    • Leave that specific block number
    • If possible, add the link to block explorer for that specific block.
    • You can mention about Genesis block as follows
      • It is a discussion to the Genesis block
      • It is a discussion to the Genesis block

You may prove right in the long-term. but a short-term crash may be the "end of the road" for those having leveraged positions or trading with borrowed money or newbies who have never seen a serious bear attack.
Traps are set to kill you, to liquidate your stupid positions. So why use leverage if you are not smart enough or don't have enough experience with crypto trading?

I don't offend you but the questions are basics and you will have to pay precious cost if you don't understand it. Greed leveraged traders deserve to be killed.
3460  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Chart - Is Bitcoin About to Break Down? on: June 05, 2021, 11:37:17 AM
The chart looks bearish. Bitcoin is staying below 200 DMA and has formed a triangle.

If the lower trendline is broken, bitcoin may crash.
The chart is bearish technically but your forget the basics. The market will not have bullish time if it does not have a bearish time before. Bearish periods can be big or mini ones. Same for bullish periods that can be big or mini ones.

Not my financial advice but my opinion is the best has yet to come. The market is in a mini bearish period and will experience a few moths with side-way. The next is a big bull run.  Tongue
