I said, THEY DID NOT DELETE MY MESSAGE MY POSTS. Understand now? They are in the thread for everybody to see.
Did I ever say they deleted my posts??? NO! Please read before writing your nonsense here!

Then who did this? who is making nonsense things here. Roll Eyes

All they do is delete any criticism in their thread, that has been going for months now.


Seems like this demo guy can't read. I am not on their ignore list, why would I be.
You can be on anyone's ignore list even without any reason, any member can put you on ignore and welcome to mine as well. Tongue

Meriting a post is highly subjective and I am agree with that but you feel that any good post deserves 50 merits from a person? Very rare exceptions to such amount of contributions.
Putting a merit per post limit to 2 merits in total is very different from allowing a single user hand out 50 merits at once. We can discuss whether or not a post deserves 50 merits, and if it's fair or not to award so many merits for that post, but I doubt anyone would vote for having a 2 merit per post maximum. That surely doesn't sound fair.

There are thousands of posts that can be used as an example, but here is just one I remember from yesterday because I used it as a source somewhere.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5184169.0
With such a rule in place, the work wwzsocki put in to create this thread would be worth (at maximum) the same as a potential 1-2 liner that someone finds useful or entertaining. A slap in the face.     
Having merit cap per post is the idea and 2 was just an example, if community thinks that 2 is not enough then we can consider 10 for a good post as cap merit to be received.And as I said there are some exceptions which deserve 100s of merits but we are giving chance of merit circle to get formed on most of the occasions where the post is definitely good but don't deserves 50 at all.

I don't think there will be any tweak in the merit system from theymos in the merit system even he said that there may be some changes if it was needed when it was implemented but so far so good the system works but still it can made to be better for everyone deserve to be encouraged with merits if they are having some worthy contents.
3724  Other / Meta / Re: Meriting a user who just merited you on: January 30, 2021, 04:29:45 PM
only 2 merits can be rewarded for a post with two people awarding one merit each or just 2 merits from a person so even if someone want to merit that post it is not possible to do so.
If I understood your proposal correctly, you are suggesting that no post should be able to receive more than 2 merits in total? So if I awarded this post of yours with 2 merits, and a second user wanted to give you 1 more merit, that wouldn't be possible because the merit cap of 2 merits/post has already been reached Huh

I don't think anyone would support such a change. And it would be unfair to new users who are good posters and can theoretically get 20, 30, 100 merits per post/thread if enough people like what they wrote. I don't think abuse should be fought by limiting the entire community like that. That is why I am always against proposals that would put additional limitations on newbies, based on the fact that many are spammers or share malware and scams. I think that 1 legit newbie who wants to become part of the community is worth the 10 idiots that get banned for various reasons. And because of that 1 quality newbie, he shouldn't be treated unfairly.

Merits are transparent. You can always check who sent what to who. On top of that, it's a subjective decision. If I feel like something is worth just 1 merit, that's my right. If the member next to me feels the same post is worth 10 merits, he has equal rights to award those merits to the same post. And a third user can think it's not worth a single merit.

Merit abuse should be proven the same way alt accounts, ban evaders, and scammers are proven. On a case by case study.
   
Meriting a post is highly subjective and I am agree with that but you feel that any good post deserves 50 merits from a person? Very rare exceptions to such amount of contributions.

IMO, meriting a most in a thread is just to highlight that particular post among the others because it contains some information for the newbies or to the community that is why I think 2 merit cap is enough, we no need to pour merits on a single posts because this leads to the circle formation so the merit get distributed into a closed circle not to the entire active members.

If we have low merit cap per posts then it will encourage people to merit more posts so more newbies can rankup! Smiley

They know about my issue, look at the thread, I wrote about unanswered emails several times as well as giving a time to answer before I create this accusation.Those posts are there for everybody to see. Obviously you just comment without looking.
Check the time of my posts and check when they have been online the last time, coming to a conclusion? I make it easy for you, they are aware and still they give no statement, just like to all the other things many players complained about lately ( 3 rake increases in 6 months, the incident with xgoodfella who stole 2k from some other players, chat bans for no reason, swc employees that play at the site, and so on ).

Why do you reply anyway? Until now what you wrote is just some nonsense so please stay away. You even wrote about " the amount staked on the bets" , what is wrong with you?

If you have no clue just dont reply, thank you.

What if you are on their ignore list?

I saw your all the posts on their an and as well your post history, Can you open your eyes and see I quoted another newbie also posted the same which is not possible without going through multiple pages! Roll Eyes

Why can't you prove that they deleted your message, can post the screenshot to make your claim valid!



Seems you lost your mind or simply wanted to waste the time of others, he can't even understand that I am trying to help. Tongue
3726  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scam accusation against SWC poker, outstanding refunds on: January 30, 2021, 03:08:15 PM
First , it says " the amount staked on the bets" not staked bet amount. But anyway, makes no sense.  Undecided
Second, of course its bad for their reputation because what they do is bad. I asked them 2 times in the thread why don't answer emails, no reply. Other people have the same problems. I also warned them if they ignore me again I have to open this thread, no reply.
No reply to emails as well. All they do is delete any criticism in their thread, that has been going for months now.

Somebody else posted this thread in their thread as well and they have been online, no reaction.

I just want my refund, it has been 4 weeks now. Ignoring your players is not the way to go. I will create a flag as well if after this weekend this hasn't been solved, what else can I do?

Welcome to the internet where we can't expect the formal English all the time!



I saw that their ANN is self moderated so they can choose which post wants to be deleted on their own but atleast you can post the deleted notification PM which confirms that they know about your issue but don't want to get any attentions



Seems no one interested in your case, why am I the only one replying here? Huh
3727  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scam accusation against SWC poker, outstanding refunds on: January 30, 2021, 12:50:42 PM

I am not a newbie, I am in this forum for over 1 year. Maybe I am not posting but I am reading. Wink

Anyway, still no email and no statement from the bitcoin talk account although being online several times. Me and and other guy posted the link to this accusation in their thread, they have been online since, no reply. Email also no reply. What a joke.

Please read before posting, it has nothing to do with bets that vanished, this is a poker site and I was registered for 2 games.
About the proof of accusation. Please tell me how I can proof that I was registered in the tournaments and I will. They can check it for sure but they are not responding.

Probably they put you on ignore because it seems you are trying to ruin their reputation with your words, oh yeah its just my guess.



I think you should read it clearly, "staked bet amount"! Huh

First of all Kudoos to the people who invest their time to expose their scammers because I know tracking the address is how much time consuming, tiresome and annoying job because sometimes I tried myself few times and didn't find anything even after 3 hours of continuous tracking.

Asking out of curiosity, do you guys use any special tool for this?

There is nothing wrong with exposing such guys, even they can abandon the exposed one and create a new account to do the same but it is going to take atleast few months or years (thanks to merit system).

Exactly you are paying taxes whenever you complete a trade. So you don't need to worry about tax.
Can you explain how exactly a trader paying his taxes by completing a trade?

There are different type of taxes even for the crypto trader and it varies depends on your country. You are not paying any taxes whenever you complete a trade, you have to file all your earnings from the trade at the time of reporting your income tax.

It seems the amount staked on the bets vanished due to the loss of domain and it never get refunded into your wallet, am I right?



You said that you didn't get any replies to your mails over 3 weeks now but you posted this issue about 5 days ago precisely but its still a lot of time to get answer from their representative, hmmm I am not having much experience in it but if you are saying the truth then they should be given nagative tag for not answering any questions from you.

But you also didn't provide any roof to claim your accusation. Roll Eyes



I guess swcpoker just plans on stealing my 4k chips? I emailed a dozen times,I messaged via twitter and posting here ,what gives swcpoker?
Also why ban my chat on seals just for bringing this up there ?

I am 1up1 on swcpoker

Another newbie claims he didn't received his chips but no response to it as well, ignoring questions is not a good behaviour in my opinion.
3731  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can you identify if an address is a Coinbase address? on: January 29, 2021, 08:55:02 AM
Hi, I am currently going through my old crypto wallets to do some tax calculations and I have an old wallet address which is either an electrum or a Coinbase address.
I know it seems strange but it would be helpful if I knew which it was so I could give up trying to contact Coinbase support
So, is it’s possible to tell from looking at an address if it’s a Coinbase address? Long shot I know!
Thanks!
Its not possible to say whether the address is actually from Coinbase or electrum but can track it down for sure. when you just have the address but if you used them in the past then you can get all the used address for your deposits can be found on the addresses which is possible if you logged into the coinbase desktop site.

Even in Electrum you can see all the addresses used in the past. Smiley

I agree that 50 merits for a single post is too much.  If there were a lifetime cap though, it wouldn't matter so much and would eliminate a serious problem.

Only 2 merits on a post seems a bit low to me.  Some posts, like my escrow, nastyfans, minted seats, and green energy mining threads have led to years (soon to be decades) of work and tens of millions of dollars exchanged (billions of dollars in BTC at current USD/BTC rates).  Limiting those posts to only 2 merits seems a bit strange.  A lifetime merit limit addresses the issue of merit cycling forever, but a per post merit limit does what exactly?
Some threads really deserves lot of merits for their contribution to the forum and also the whole crypto community but this has been taken as an advantage by the people who you call is farming circle and just keep spending them in between  posts.

If we have merit restrictions per posts then it might be helpful to restriction their actions and will encourage them to merit more posts than single post with huge merits.

It isn't an issue in small amounts in my opinion.  It's the users that have exchanged hundreds of merits back and forth that are a real serious threat to the system here.  I've gone on record multiple times as saying there should be a 50 merit cap on what any 1 user can send to another over the lifetime of the account.  If you look at some of the highest merit earners on this site, they have literally exchanged hundreds of merits between each other.  I'm pretty sure this isn't what the merit system was created for and it should be stopped with a lifetime merit sent limit between users.  

It is also abundantly clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that massive merit abuse took place in the first couple weeks of the system.  I think in addition to a merit per user lifetime cap, rolling back merits received in the first month of the system as well as merits over 50 sent to any one user by another would make the system much more honest and make the merit whores have to go through the additional steps required for alt account signature spammers.  That's if we actually want an 'honest' system instead of a 'who can befriend the most abusers' system we currently see in the trust and merit networks.
Kind of agreed with the statement but not with merit cap per user for a lifetime may not work but it will be better to limit merit per posts like

only 2 merits can be rewarded for a post with two people awarding one merit each or just 2 merits from a person so even if someone want to merit that post it is not possible to do so.

Most of the community members agreed that awarding 50 merits for a post is too much, BTW I didn't see any post received 50 merits from a person in the recent days.
3734  Other / Meta / Re: Meriting a user who just merited you on: January 28, 2021, 04:57:39 PM
If someone is meriting back the user who just merited them then it is called merit farming which I never appreciate among our fellas.

But sadly it becomes a reality, people making it as habit to merit them people who is giving merit them which should be changed, just merit the post which gave you some new information to you or atleast it will be helpful to someone in the future.

I don't really care about the user who I am meriting, if I feel it deserves and got merit on hoarde then I will just go for it.

I request everyone to do the same which will increases your merit cycle.

It's not that easy. If he bought on a registered exchange, especially if it was Coinbase or Gemini which report your every move, it's still possible for the government to track his sale and prove that he tried to avoid paying tax. The only way he can be safe is if he also bought on p2p or f2f from someone and sells for cash.
I did say that OP should try to go for a P2P, or maybe put the amount the OP wants to sell to a cold wallet and sell that wallet for X amount of cash. If its not that big of an amount I don't think that the government will bother you for taxes, you are already paying taxes some way or another anyway so I do not think that it is anything that they should worry about.
IRC, every peer to peer trading plaftorms stopped personal trades so the only option for US customer is like choosing a non banking payment method and common payment method on LBC for US customer is Paypal and its only suitable for amount less than thousand dollars.

Ugh sorry 1st post rookie here!  I am in the USA.  So it sounds like the moment I sell and make a profit I will be taxed even if I don't cash out.  It's not a huge amount if that matters.  (around 30k)
Yes you need to pay taxes for your capital gains because IRS treats cryptos as property so the capital gain tax rate maybe charged upto 37% under the current tax rate.

But there are people who is paying less taxes than actual with filing taxes so you need to find a professional and ask in detail about it. But if you are filing tax as single status then there will be no capital gains upto $40K.

3739  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BETA] BTC Mempool Fees Extension/add-on for Firefox/Chrome browser on: January 27, 2021, 06:58:07 PM
General question:

What do you think are the best API sources for estimate Bitcoin mempool fees and is there something better than three sources (mempool.space, bitcoiner.live, blockchain.com) we used for showing sat/vB fees?

Well, this is the problem.

All of those fee estimators are just trash imo. They overestimate fees. I have seen the mempool empty, transactions with 1 sat/byte being confirmed and electrum (which uses the same estimators from those sources) recommending 100 sat/byte
I am using Mempool space for a while and it is not over estimating the fees to be honest, only ETA feature in the electrum is doing it.

But it is not actually possible to find the lowest possible value to get included in the next block better use the actual recommended value and I have been doing it. Stopped making any transactions when the fees were pushed to higher value even when there is no need and this is actually happens due to the overestimation of fees from the wallet providers.

In countries like Africa, yes it is going to help a lot for the unemployment rate because their daily wages are less than a dollar as far as I know so they can make few dollars with very small capital everyday but it is going to help the everyone in Africa? I don't think so.

One who enters into the market earlier and utilizes it more will be making profits but in the next few years the bitcoin will be out of reach for unemployed people.
