it made me think of a cool solution that I am sure LoyceV or someone like him could easily tackle by building a tool something along the lines of:
> Scrape all sent feedback left by people who were once in DT1 and got removed due to inactivity only
> Find all members who currently aren't painted red out of this feedback
> Current DT1's can go through the list and add a feedback if they choose to.
Been there, done that. See [PRISON BREAK] Full list of users who lost their DT red trust from Lauda

Thoughts?
It was a lot of work. You can't tag 2000 accounts just because someone else did the same, you'll have to actually check the evidence and decide per case whether or not they (still) deserve it. I'm not going to do that.

Of course, it would be a lot of work to filter through each one...though I'm sure if the data I described (not just for Lauda) was there, DTs or even non DT members would do their bit in ensuring that known scammers/farmers/etc. were not able to roam free.

I do wonder many accounts that were once tagged are currently active and roaming right now.

An interesting question how many have been set free to do more harm/ I am thinking 10 to 23 are now free.

maybe loyce can figure that out.

I really did not believe it til 2017.

I got in 2012.  I have made money but not as much as I could have.

Maybe 200k in profits since 2012 but if I held more I could have made 2 or 3 million .

Do you know why it is recommended to hold bitcoin for the long term while hodling altcoins for short-term use? It's because of the sort of negative event you spoke about. A coin's value could drop tomorrow even if it was performing well years later.

That appears to be the main issue with all altcoins. They always behave like pump-and-dump coins with a brief price recovery in the crypto market.

That's why it is advised that don't rush to invest in altcoins out of FOMO or for a long period to expect huge profits to happen. Invest in them but it's for the short term and make sure that you don't get carried away by forgetting to withdraw your profits when you ought to.

the theory would be if crypto succeeds BTC will certainly be the leader and should hold price well and grow over the next 10-20 years.

The only  POW algo that can really challenge BTC sha256 algo  is LTC/Doge Scrypt  and if it does well it can last for the next 100 years or more due to the structure of Doge payouts.

Most other coin are bs especially Eth which is basically an unregulated bond run by one guy.

For me as I am a bit older I do 3 coins

BTC + LTC + DOGE.  based on the hardware that mines them is very solid and there is a lot of it.
3504  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Knowledge vs hodlings on: September 19, 2023, 10:19:17 PM
Life is a time game.  If you are kind of lucky you make it to 60 or 70 or 80

I am 66 with normal luck I will reach 84.

So this means I got 18 years to go.

the young you are the more time you have in general.

This means DCA and hodl for 10-20 years if you are 20-40 years old it is not hard to do.

If you are 66 like me a 10 year DCA is not that attractive.

BUT NOW YOU SAY  hey I am 29 I want to do a 10 year dca .

you decide $20  a week is a number I can dca.  well that is 52 x 20 x 10 = 10400 usd saved via the purchase of btc.

It is possible that the average increase is 10x so you have 104,000 usd worth of btc in ten

years.  How do I do this? How do I make sure to buy it. HOW do I make sure to hodl it. lastly how do I make sure I do not lose access to the asset.

 well that is the question.  I can be sure about buying it or earning. holding it is hard.
3505  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It is only Bitcoin and nothing else on: September 19, 2023, 10:03:24 PM
I was going through coinmarketcap today to see some of the cryptocurrencies I was involved in when I started, I was so surprised to see that a lot of them have even been delisted. I was heartbroken seeing that some tokens who raised millions of dollars, had huge community and were trending even in various platforms just died. I wanted to not mention any particular token but I have to mention PumaPay that raised about $8 million yet could not deliver anything and got investors holding a bag of shit.

If one can turn back the hand of time, and assuming I joined this forum early when I started my crypto journey, maybe the concept of shitcoins would have dawn on me and that would have made me convert those worthless bags to Bitcoin when I could.

I know there are other who would have similar experience too and there are still others caught up in the euphoria of getting rich through one token or the other. Well, if it is not Bitcoin, it is not worth holding.

I think you are kind of wrong but some what correct.

There are more than 1 POW coins that are worthwhile.

I made more profit on Doge than any coin including BTC.

But the truth is there are over 9000 coins at the moment and 8000 maybe 8500 are garbage .

I peg about 10 pow coins with a bit of value and possibly ripple which is a pos coin.  The others are fairly trash including eth.

But each of us have an opinion and we are able to voice them freely here on bitcointalk thanks to theymos.

Thanks for posting this, I'm actually increasing the size of the image, so that all can clearly see what has happened to that beautiful girl.

WTF

What are we supposed to do about it exactly?

Any amount of time you spend thinking about this and any space that it occupies in your mind is entirely too much.

There's far worse injustices in the world taking place on an hourly basis. This one is just the manufactured newsbyte that is currently trending now.

I know you guys think you're making a point but all you're really doing is revealing who has been more successful at brainwashing you.

Destroying children is not injustice enough for you? wow.

You are not even aware how big this woke cancer already is -especially in the U.S- because you simply ingore it and taking the shortcut blaming the goverment which means you are just another blatant conspiracy theorist.

How big is it?
10 a year under 18 in the usa?
100 a year under 18 in the usa?
1000 a year under 18 in the usa?
10000 a year under 18 in the usa?
100000 a year under 18 in the usa?

and what are the numbers for the rest of the world?

I do not think anyone under 18 should do it.
I think 🤔 if they are interested they need to wait need 18 and do 3 years of evaluations before the cut at age of 21.

They are are full adults then and they can do what they want.

But I would love to know the real numbers for the usa and the rest of the world.
3508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ouch, today someone made a transaction with over $500k fee. on: September 19, 2023, 04:44:49 PM
Despite the majority voting against it, apparently they did the right thing and returned that fee anyway:
Who's to say it was the right thing to do? Whenever the average user makes a mistake and over pays their fee, they simply have to wave goodbye to their money. Why should it be different for Paxos?

Depends on your morality (or lack thereof) I guess. To me it's pretty clear. If you know that someone paid you too much in error, and it's practical and possible to refund them - you should.
If you sold a car to your friend and they accidentally wired you $20k instead of $10k, you wouldn't use "other people make mistakes and lose money permanently" as an excuse, you would send it back (I hope).

Would be an ideal world 🌍.  The problem is there are so many crooked people it does not happen enough at least in this case it was fixed.

And my small pool I am in did not need to face the issue.

3510  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paxos recovers its $500,000 'fat finger' Bitcoin transaction fee on: September 19, 2023, 12:51:30 PM
That's very strange. What if I owe some money to a friend? Should that transaction be equally taxable with realized profit from an investment?
Actually stock and paper gold market investments are tax free here to save the government from bankruptcy, and other financial transactions require evidence and justifiable reason for the banks to process the transaction, it's related to FATF rules, the gov refused to join international FATF, but they are enforcing it's rules domestically.

If you are buying a car, you need to provide the bank with official documents of the deal to let you transfer the money to the seller, they charge the tax for such deals before registering the car to your name. And if you owe a friend, you can't send more than $4,000 per day without officially approved docs. It's a circus in general, the laws of taxation.

In the case of paxos, I believe that pool has to answer to it's government wherever they are located, and all the documents of all financial transactions globally goes to FATF headquarters for assessment. The new universal rule of finance; everyone is a criminal doing money laundry unless legally proven otherwise with evidence.

I have to agree with this attitude in a lot of countries it seems like the governments enforce that way.

Ties in with soldered batteries in a cell phone so that is is always a spy device in the name of anti-terroism.

how about hockey (if you ever played): here is an interesting article about this "issue" in sports and hockey in particular:
https://www.nydailynews.com/2016/05/31/righty-or-lefty-what-you-dont-know-about-shooting-a-puck-in-the-nhl/

goaltender. we played street hockey. I used my right hand for the stick hand. left hand was the glove hand.

But I could switch with zero issue. The reason I played that way was I used a baseball glove for a right handed thrower.

It was a lower middle class neighborhood so ice hockey was not played.

But a newly paved street was decent surface to play on.

I was pretty good at stopping pucks.

3514  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin kwoledge is not complete without bitcoin investment on: September 19, 2023, 12:51:53 AM
You are just confused at the start which is normal for an investor because if you don't doubt an investment then you are not a wise investor. You did great and what you bought is decent for a starter. But, like other members said, there's really no hurry when it comes to buying Bitcoin. Learn more and keep all those lessons that you will receive from good platforms like this forum. I do suggest avoiding social media fake analysts and FUDsters though because most of them are supporting another coin and they want to pull out Bitcoin investors in their midst.
Pick who you will follow, it's better if they are only posting knowledge about Bitcoin and analysis with facts to back it up. Learn, learn, learn and you won't worry about anything afterwards.

Personally, I get the sense that OP is on the right track in spite of a seemingly overwhelming number of members responding and telling OP that he is fucking up by jumping into bitcoin too soon.

There is a hurry in bitcoin to get the fuck started.

The reason that we have ONLY less than 1% of the world's population investing into bitcoin is because the overwhelming majority of the world either does not know what bitcoin is or they think that they know what it is and have failed/refused to take any action.

OP did the right thing by taking action, even if he admits that he is still learning, but he's got several of the basics right already.  He figured out some kind of an amount that is reasonable for him, which is taking part of his income stream that he believes that he does not need, and he also thinks that he will be investing around 10% of his income and for 10 years or longer. 

What other perfect case for getting the fuck started do we need?  Op is going to get started in a modest way and he is going to learn and he is going to be ahead of 99% of the rest of the world, and I am not even sure if he is being too wimpy or too aggressive in his bitcoin investment amount, because he is in the best place to make those kinds of decisions, and he has explained his approach pretty well.. at least outlined what his approach is and that he is willing to learn more.

Sure, his opening post had seemed to be a bit overly exciting, and so likely he has to make sure that he does not allow his emotions to get in  the way of his investment approach, but shouldn't any of us get excited by both learning about bitcoin and getting started with a relatively modest approach that he says that he is going to try to continue to follow and to learn along the way.

Regarding his choice to share his actual purchase amount (quantity of BTC), that is not completely irrelevant, and many of us have made several of those kinds of disclosures over the years, and sure it probably is not really necessary for him to provide a screen shot or to even argue with other members about how there is already so much information out there, so why not put some more out there, even though in the end, it is within his discretion how to frame his discussion and his personal disclosures, and maybe it would have been better for him to describe with a bit more vagueness, which is what a lot of us have learned to do over the years. 

Sometimes we speak in terms of a range or in terms of hypotheticals, which are all great ways to attempt to employ some plausible deniability... because sometimes forum members could end up being found out and some of their transaction could be linked.. yet remember back in the good ole days when a lot of members were sharing these various kinds of transactional information, but many of us have stopped doing that because it seems to be that we learned that it can be problematic to have too many pieces of information out there.. even though there is still some information and some members still do share quite bit more than others, and maybe some of those members may have ended up getting themselves into trouble with some of that oversharing... so sometimes we don't necessarily know what we do not know, so likely OP should at least attempt to consider the extent to which he wants to retain some plausible deniability and maybe just say that he bought a certain amount rather than showing a redacted picture of it.

Yeah the ten year dca plan or longer is good even if you are in your 50s

starting it at 52 and wrapping it up at retirement when 65 is still viable at this moment.

Even if btc does only 20x from now till 2036 it will almost certainly out do cash 💷.

3515  Other / Meta / Re: Merits in WO on: September 19, 2023, 12:41:26 AM
This is great. Thanks for doing this. I'm guessing the unconnected dots means those accounts received merits from accounts that never received merits in the WO...

I don't mean to be bothersome but is there any chance to make this type of chart for merit sent in the WO thread (as opposed to received)? If its too much work, which is understandable, its no problem.

I can do it. I will post here in a few days.

I will try to add something to filter users on the visualisation.  I need to explore flourish a little further

All these (and some previous) discussions were started in order to examine the justification of using merit in the WO thread. If you are already dealing with these statistics, wouldn't it be more interesting to see how much of the earned merits come from the WO thread in relation to the total number of merits earned? At least for the most active users.
Or maybe such statistics already exist somewhere  Undecided

I have   6357
I had     1000 air dropped
I earned 1736 on wo

so 3621 earned elsewhere.

and the dot chart may be out of date a bit it shows the 1736 from wo I am more say 1800 as a guess.

so say

6357
1000 air dropped
5357 actually given to me
1800 maybe and not 1736 wo
3557 elsewhere.

3517  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin knowledge is not complete without bitcoin investment on: September 18, 2023, 11:53:37 PM
I am not suppose to say this here but i want forum members to advice and tell me on how I can go with my bitcoin journey as a newbie and become successful in it without losing my bitcoin. My Dad is late and he left us a building which I and my siblings inherited. I rented my own apartment because I stay in a more civilized area. Whenever my tenant pays me my rent, I just keep the money in the bank and sometimes it stays there for more than six months in my account because I have a job that takes care of my responsibilities. This year when I joined this forum, after reading through topics and comments from forum users on bitcoin investment, I said to myself that it will be wise if i give bitcoin investment a trial and see how it will feel like holding a bitcoin.

Last week Monday, I recieved my rent, but guess what I was scared of investing it on bitcoin because I was having so many thoughts in my head telling me to invest and not to invest. I continued with my forum activities and kept on reading, at a point, I got to realize that what will I gain, if I have the knowledge of bitcoin and I don't invest in it to have the experience on using bitcoin and to also have the experience of holding in long term, so that i can talk about bitcoin from experience. This means that it is important for me to buy bitcoin to acquire more knowledge,and this will be an advantage for me  to buy bitcoin now that the price is dip, before it pumps back. Yesterday, I used 60% of the money my tenant paid me to buy bitcoin and I was relieved and happy. I have also created an electrum wallet which I have transfered my coins into, the reason why I chose electrum wallet because it is noncustodial with RBF and Ligthening Network features, which can allow you to double spend,incase the network is congested and your transaction fee is low,since sometimes bitcoin blockchain used to be congested with dust transactions.

I intend to hold by bitcoin for long, because I just started my bitcoin journey and, I know that it isn't going to be an easy one for a newbie like me. I will use 10% of my income to DCA every month, because I also noticed that fiat currency is depreciating due to inflation and that it is better that I save in bitcoin than to keep it in fiat. The moment my bitcoin reaches $1000, I will look on how to transfer my coins to a cold storage wallet for safety. I couldn't keep this to myself and I said let me bring this to the forum for advise from experienced members on precautions I need to take for me to achieve my bitcoin goal target.

If you haven't invested in bitcoin yet, you should try and do so, if you have the resources so that you can feel the vibes that am feeling right now.

Let's discuss.



knowledge of bitcoin means ?

How to code it?
How to spend it?
How to buy it?
How to earn it?
How to mine it?
How to trade it?
How to hodl it?

I suppose some of the things above are important

But ultimately If you are under 30 years do a 10 year dca and hodl it.. 

Then decide your next move with it.

So you  need to know:

 how to buy it
 how to hodl it
 how to sell it one day in the future.

Sounds like investing is all you need to do.

yeah. you should use  something like this.

first s9

pool          stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333
user          1PKN98VN2z5gwSGZvGKS2bj8aADZBkyhkZ.01
password    x


second s9

pool          stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333
user          1PKN98VN2z5gwSGZvGKS2bj8aADZBkyhkZ.02
password    x


third s9

pool          stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333
user          1PKN98VN2z5gwSGZvGKS2bj8aADZBkyhkZ.03
password    x


notice my method of .01 then .02 then .03

allows you to track many miners up to 99

note do not use that address that I used for a demo

And are any of the so called accelerators legitimate things or is that all just a scam? New to crypto sorry

the fee was 6.85 sats a byte. So viabtc will not accelerate it for free.
