Update-
The scammer has changed their name into theymos now with username of @theymoss, he had cleared the message history but still is in my chat list. I was looking for a PM and found that theymos is in my chat list too  Grin

Haha. This is hilarious. Thanks for letting people know.

I got a random PM a few days ago from somebody asking if I was on Telegram -- good for them for asking! Far too many people don't think to confirm the person they are chatting with is the same person on the forum.

If anything, I should have freaking grabbed that screen name before somebody else did, knowing how frequently Telegram is abused by scammers.

not that anybody cares, but the whole crypto-complex, led by bitcoin, cleared $1tril for the first time ever tonight, according to CMC.
btc would do it on it's own at $53,783.68 (if it happens right now).

I think gold parity for Bitcoin is something like $500k.  May have to wait for next cycle for that one.

gold has grown too, now at 12 tril, so more like 570K (if counting from the current issued btc, not 21 mil) and yes, most likely next time, unless...

If you go by this: https://companiesmarketcap.com/assets-by-market-cap/

At today's supply of both gold and BTC, BTC would have to reach $657,534 to achieve parity with the gold market cap.

This all ties these accounts with his banned account HumberRoll which means these accounts are evading ban.

This is great work but since the last step relies on your screenshot I don't think it will be enough for the mods to ban ManchesterCityFB. Nevertheless, it earns him a tag and flag.

There are DT Trolls who will try to intimidate you to silence you reporting this sad chronic gambler (including one DT UID who reportedly claims to "know" the user from a gambling site, but has never said anything about warning the scammer off), but just put them on ignore.

This is a crazy story. You're saying LoyceV is going to intimidate the OP to silence him? Why??

We don't have to make memes anymore. Trump is the meme. Everything he does is memeable, so there's no longer a point in capturing individual moments of his absurdity.

Well, accepting only 0.02 BTC after almost eight years is mighty generous of you. Turning a $359 profit on an eight year loan is much smaller than sticking with your original terms of 5%, even non-compounded, interest a day, which would have yielded 2.133 BTC after 2,844 days, which is ~$77,000 at current prices.

Good catch, I have supported your flags and will tag these accounts. They appear to belong to long-time scammer Humbertin19_, aka SupremosKaiosama.

He even used HumberRoll as an alt account name, which means that he is also ban evading.

Username:Humbertin19a

Username Humbertin19x

ManchesterCityFB is now using the name "ser1ck" as a casino login name, which was also the name of one of his other accounts.

United States

username ser1ck

user ser1ck

ser1ck logged in as recently as Dec 24th.

Here's a few threads linking his various alts:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5090870.msg48975564

I'm sure there's a way to connect the screen names he used for his banned HumberRoll account with those of his newer accounts... It just takes a bit of moving the puzzle pieces around.

Happy new year degenerates!

C'mon February ... I believe in you!
What will you do if the BTC price don't crash down to sub-$3k in Feb as you forecasted?  Will you dare to eat your own c**k live on TV like John McAfee said in 2017?  Smiley

I just spoke with his publicity manager and he assures me sgbett has agreed to be whipped in the nuts by a cricket ball in a sock on national TV if his February prediction doesn't come true. We've already signed the contract, so it's a done deal.

YOBIT ARE PROMOTING FAKE TOKENS ! ! !

Well, he's not wrong.

You say "YoBit trollbox mod seems a bit unprofessional". But I did not find anything there has the professionalism in indications.

You're right about that. Perhaps a more accurate choice of words would have been to say "the YoBit trollbox mod is unprofessional."

Something about this bull run is bringing out the crazies  YES U WANT SUPPORT SCAMERS!
SCAMERS ARE EVERYWHERE BUT GOOGLE HOW YOBIT WILL SHIT ON U LATER IN 2021 AND 2020 U WILL SEE CHAT 0F SCAMERS, SPAMERS, AND THOSE WANT SUPPORT YOSHIT 4 SAVE YOSHIT.NET .IO .ORG .COM .SHIT

It sucks that you lost money there but I would move on -- they're not on the forum and they don't care what people write about them here. The best solution is to just stop using YoBit.

Yes you are write because i have seen the same message in other crypto forum as well 

Well, there's a 97% chance that you're a spammer; who knows if this will be your last post or if you will go on to become a Chipmixer campaigner some day. But you brightened my day by bumping this thread -- it's a little side alley of forum history that I was previously unaware of: the time Leroy Fodor tried to open a dice site and was immediately shut down by Bruno.

Al Michaels just called the Washington Football Team the "Redskins," for the second time.  Then he said "That's two bitcoins I owe to the producer."  Lol, bitcoin is mainstream now!

Ahh... that's what he was talking about. I swore I heard him say "2 bitcoins" but I had no idea what it was in reference to.

Washington Football Team... Super Bowl champs! You heard it here first!

J/K.

Dammit. Can't believe the Titans gave up some many points. Oh well, at least they're going to the playoffs, blah blah blah... yadda yadda yadda.

Bizarre watching the Eagles be the better team against Washington, at least this quarter.

FJ has already provided a reasonable response:

Generally speaking, the majority of the Sportsbooks do change the odds all the time, that’s not an unusual event to be occurring. However, the casino as a whole is responsible to remind the player in advance about the upcoming change to the on-going bet slip. So did our team, after the odds had dropped from 2.6 to a 1.2-1.3 favorite.



In addition to notifying the user beforehand, according to the General Provisions of Sportsbook Terms and Conditions, the company does reserve the right to cancel coefficient in case of any technical or mechanical fault. In the concrete, the odds of the match that @EpicChamp chose, was mistakenly supplied by the official partner of our betting data services, betradar. Right after, our in-office specialists received the message regarding the technically / mechanically typed out odd, including the recommendation to straightaway cancel the on-going bet, our team had to as well take immediate action of terminating the bet slip and removing the remaining balance from the account.

Here’s the screenshot of the email briefly explaining what, when and how the odds mistakenly displayed on our end, sent by the team of in-office bookmakers, that in charge of regulating the markets.



Just imagine FJ didn't have the cash out option -- your bet would have been returned to you in full. This is about how things ended up working out for you. Just because the cash out option exists it doesn't render your bet valid, as the bet was based on incorrect odds supplied by their provider.

If it seems like we're taking FJ's side, its because they're in the right here. You don't have to like them or use them anymore, but your case isn't going to move the needle on the community's general assessment of their reputation.

Again If one is spinning the text, changing one word from seven to avoid plag, still it needs to be credited otherwise it will come under the theft category.

I suppose crediting it is better than not but text spinning still comes across as lazy and insincere. Though if done sparsely it doesn't come across as plagiarism.

Especially with Altcoin ANNs and white papers: I've always thought that if a project can't be bothered to describe itself using its own words, how much effort are they going to put into the actual project? The same thing goes with general posts: I'm more inclined to think a user is sincere and genuine when they express original thought.
3616  Other / Meta / Re: Plagiarism | what %age should be allowed? on: January 03, 2021, 08:24:01 PM
That's why there is 10-15% plag is allowed as one can not change/edit some common and technical words/ phrases.

Let's say a post or any text is 700 words long. If the text is all original, except for 1 sentence where 7 words in a row are taken directly from another source, and that source isn't credited -- that's plagiarism. Even if its only 1% of the total words. If its a technical explanation where no words should be changed, then it needs to be quoted and sourced.

The easy way around this is to just change one of the 7 words, pretty much anywhere so long as 7 words in a row aren't the exact same. Doing this once or twice is OK. Doing it across an entire article is "text spinning," however.

Wonder when the day will come when it's reasonable to consolidate all the dust transactions into one address.

Loyce has a thread where he mentions when fees are low enough to perform such a feat:

[Jan 2021] Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs!

Mempool is currently as clean as a suntanned asshole (6 sat/byte recommended)... unreal.
3618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: January 03, 2021, 03:29:38 AM
In any case, are the Dolphins a good team to be given only +2.5? Should it be not +7?

I want Miami to win but I agree with you here. It's actually down to +2 and +1.5 in a few books. AFAIK Bills are starting Josh Allen. They might ease up a little now they clinched their playoff spot, whereas Dolphins will be coming full throttle. I still don't think it will be enough and project Tua will choke under the pressure (though I hope I'm wrong).

My only bet I placed for tomorrow was Titans -7... seems like it should be easy enough for them.
3619  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency on: January 02, 2021, 10:08:58 PM
I've always known Dash Community as the most toxic community in the crypto space.

You clearly weren't around when the Monero goon squad was out in full force. They've since calmed down, but back when the privacy coin war was beginning in 2014 they were utterly ruthless in their mission to destroy anything that wasn't Monero. It was a disgusting display of greed and insanity at their digital peaks. At least by forum standards.
3620  Other / Meta / Re: Plagiarism | what %age should be allowed? on: January 02, 2021, 09:59:44 PM
I think 10% is too high. The criteria for plagiarism should be based on how often 7 or more words in a row are copied from another source (it should be never).
Is that 7 word limit based on more common phrases, such as "not your keys, not your coins" or "don't invest more than you can afford to lose"? I'd say both are common enough not to need a citation anymore. I reproduce them by heart because I've read them so many times before.

Those phrases are so common they don't even need quotations. I don't agree with trying to bust somebody for plagiarism for usage of overtly common expressions. Are those particular examples attributable to particular sources?

Leaving out quotations when quoting less common or uncommon phrases, even when sourced at the bottom, should be discouraged.

7 words in a row max is a general guideline for unsourced quotations; 5 words is probably too strict for the purposes of the forum.
