I plan to send out more 28 smerit soon. It is a matter of time when I finish the plan.

It can be construed quite easily that gifting merits is part of a plan to manipulate the trust system, so err on the side of caution if planning anything.

You need extreme luck if you want to win big money from small bet, ...

True, but having an inkling that someone (or something) is going to win is sometimes the driving motivation behind placing a bet with a remarkably high return.

e.g. The Brisbane Broncos Rugby League team have lost five of their last six games, and there's no confidence they will win tonight either.  Do I bet on a seemingly sure thing (not winning), or take a risk they will win a game?  Either way the longer they loose, the higher the odds become which makes it more worth while placing a small bet for a big return.

Last month I has my 78th birthday, is there anyone here who is older than me. I can still remember snatches from the air raids in the second world war, and it is interesting how some things make such an impression on children's minds.

Happy Birthday @Jet Cash - my own father turned 80 on Monday so I've spent the week away from BCT whilst doing things with him.

Having been born in 1940 in England he's always told us stories of the bombers going overhead (both ways) as well as once being in school when a bomber came down (about to crash) pulled up at the last moment, went up over the school then crashed on the other side of the school.  Yes, it's true childhood memories of the war have left an indelible mark on my father's whole life.

I've found people my own age just don't get the sciences or technology in general - they know how to swipe up or down (or left and right) but aren't interested in behind the curtain (and I weep for the generation that's come after me for wanting someone else to do the swiping L-R U-D for them), so I take my hat off to you for being of an earlier age when all people wanted to know about the world around them.
3885  Other / Meta / Re: Do you check the merit history of users before meriting them? on: July 24, 2020, 03:04:42 AM
I pretty much send merits out as soon as I get them.  Increasingly I'll utilise Loyce's merit stats pages for the recipient and also my own to ensure they either haven't received merits previously, or, the ones I have sent don't surpass just two merits.  My early merit giving hadn't considered merits would run out (not sure why but I thought after time _everyone's_ merits restocked - always read the label).  Typically, the merits I gave out were usually to people who don't really need them (given it turns out they are merit fonts or some other reason).

I saw also that post when he requested to ask for deletion and that is only few days since someone posted this observations means he managed to delete that so fast.

Another option would be if the UID in question had contributed numerous times to a mega thread that has since been removed taking a fair chunk of their posts in the process.

Hello again;

I was wondering if I could get a loan from you:

Code:

Amount: 0.01 BTC
Loan duration: 10 days
BTC address: 3MbgTnmcU5mzL35rFGCCb9tBMRnsmKRVNC


Thanks in advance.

People peddling in account sales would advertise that an account had "potential" activity.  One of our mods/admin even had a website where you could calculate said potential activity.
I remembered that recent months there is a member user post another lively sheet but I don't know who he is and where it is.

That one is an old one: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12saLhlUoqIdairxzuSPu6EYGrt7FN2lOstO1yDjCEbA/edit#gid=1012758442. I get if from TIL Activity does not work on precisely 2 week intervals + interval timings

There's a few too many blanks on that Google Spread Sheet so I can't decipher it.  I haven't seen it before, or anything quite like it I'm sorry to say.

At least that would be helpful, I think it's more important than any kind of medicine as that's what vaccine do, to get rid of getting infected.
people who got sick can still be treated, in fact, we have a lot of people who were still able to recover after getting infected with the covid-19.

In the early weeks of the Covid-19 pandemic the fatality rate was up to 21% of those infected (Source: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ ) now that fatality rate is down to just 6% which is more the earlier case's statistics' dragging down the overall case numbers.  Subsequently, Doctors have been able to study cases and can see trends and patterns, more specialised care can be given which is keeping the fatality rates down.

...

Has anyone gone through and looked to see if the posts are one every fortnight?  If that's true then as a sold account a new user could just rank up by posting via the potential activity - a typical ploy that was around a few years ago.

People peddling in account sales would advertise that an account had "potential" activity.  One of our mods/admin even had a website where you could calculate said potential activity.

...

There are other instances I've seen where a user's rank has gone backwards after posts of theirs were deleted.

You know and I know that Op is lying, simple as that.

True.  But we're letting the OP know every aspect of their story just doesn't check out.

Quote
Btw a spot in a sig is not locked and you can lose it especially if you get a negative or see your account banned. Cry

I'm sure you're meaning the OP - like all scammers they'll get the message eventually.




Since I joined the SigCamp band wagons, my merit scores have gone up from ~50 per 120 days to ~100 merits per 100 days, I've picked up a sixth flag against me (feel free to support it or oppose it here).  With the bitcoin I've earned I've been able to open numerous lightning network channels via both Eclair and Zap Technologies while researching their usefulness - I have no idea what others are using their payments for...

The BTC 0.0071 I earned last week works out to be $ 66 US$ or in terms of Euros is € 58.00 - more than enough to feed the OP for ten days - each week.

Next error I've found,

Dude, there were only six days left of being the 20th day in the 20th year.   You just wasted one...   

 Tongue

Quite the contrary - I've been quite active out and about.  Check my posts over the last week, I've barely checked in to post a half dozen times.

Neither owner of the site will respond, so I'm flattered you've wasted your own Canadian 20/20 day to reply on their behalf.




My door is always open to anyone who wants to talk.

It is what you meant: [SAD] I delete your account.

That looks to be the thread yes - it seems some people just want to leave the Forum and be "forgotten" just like the EU's laws that they (the EU) are enforcing.
3894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Las Vegas Casinos are open - end of the Pandemic era. on: July 21, 2020, 11:38:11 AM
in about 36 hours time in the Greater Melbourne City and the Mitchell Shires to the north east of Melbourne it will be mandatory for all persons to wear facemasks in public places so it'd be interesting what people would be expected to do at the Crown Casino Melbourne (or any banks for that matter) if they were open instead of in a six week lockdown (week two so far) due to a second wave of infections due to unacceptable security breaches of recent arrivals/persons in lockdown.

Las Vegas will be hit hard with a second and third waves of Covid-19 through a lack of social distancing as well as PPE (facemasks etc).  The USA is edging closer to 100,000 new cases per day.  It isn't a sustainable number - think in terms of critical mass.
3895  Other / Meta / Re: Hope that karma gets you on: July 21, 2020, 11:21:29 AM
The OP's car must be parked out in the suburbs to avoid any congestion taxes or inner city parking fees - then there's fuel (petrol or diesel) costs - not sure what the going rate of either in African Nations or continental Europe where the Euro is accepted.  Then there's recharging the cell phone/portable device.  Either a solar panel, or the car battery (which would mean burning fuel to recharge the phone).

Then as suchmoon and others have pointed out, this isn't a charity.  Joining a SigCamp will bring in some bitcoin and you have the minimum five merits in the last six months most require.
3896  Other / Meta / Re: This member has weird stats. on: July 21, 2020, 11:16:15 AM
Not sure what to make of all of this (other than my previous post in this thread) but I have seen a couple of users asking about ways to delete their accounts.  I do recall that shorena had a "service" where they would "clean" a UID - quite literally by deleting each and every post.  I'm not sure how shorena was able to delete any threads a user would start (unless they were a mod/had help from a mod) but that would be a sticking point for anyone wanting to self delete rather than be nuked.

As to sabotage, that would be a possibility if a connection were made to the recipients of the merits handed out recently.

This is their last post after a few hours have passed:



BobLawblaw is showered with merits quite easily.




The very next post:

<merit dump>
Well that was unexpected and generous.
Thank you kindly, Bob. I will endeavor to pay forward to worthy posts.
Cheers and good luck.

Over the last few days they've given away quite a few of their earned merits:



which occurred *before* they changed their password:

BPIP still hasn't even picked up the email change has occurred:

https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?id=569455

Can't find it on seclog either:

https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php?all

Try https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5249591.0




Conclusion:  UID hasn't changed hands.
