I guess this is the best place to learn about bitcoin.

Never limit your knowledge source to one point (i.e. this forum). One platform which you should check out, is Reddit which offers a vast of different subreddits, or subforums to check out on the latest news and how-tos.

Posters who plagiarized and were banned need to have very good contribution history to get ban uplift. It not happens too often AFAIK. If they get a second chance, some sort of reduced account restrictions will be implemented, as replacements for permanent bans.
- Signature ban next 1 or 2 year. I don't remember a shorter period of such signature ban (6 months, probably).
- Signature ban and temp ban (can not post for a while).
- No restrictions at all (it is rarely to see)

[TIPS] to avoid plagiarism

I really pity those that plagiarized during the early days but eventually contributed loads to the forum and the ban suddenly fell out of nowhere. I recalled seeing some thread about it but I highly doubt there would be changes to the current stance on plagiarism, and with theymos hardly commenting on these kind of things.

I'm pretty much happy with Bitcoin, we don't really need another token. Plus, it's Bitcointalk for a reason Cheesy


I know some people have digital collection (such as virtual cats on CryptoKitties), but i doubt it'll be popular.

That thing was so huge in 2017 and one cat was apparently traded for 6 figures in ETH.

By the way, it's better you close this thread now since it's served its purpose before other members start spamming on this thread with more congratulatory messages (unless you really want that to happen).
3985  Other / Meta / Re: Is this a bug? on: September 17, 2020, 04:27:25 AM
I think this could be solved by disallowing the topic title to be changed. After all, it doesn't serve any purpose besides occasional fun/ trolling attempts.

I agree with the "Contributor" title, and the BPIP logo added as a nice tie-in Cheesy

You can bet any amount. But the profit you make in a single bet cannot exceed 20 BTC.


I wonder... if anyone has made such a bet before.

That's what I thought, but I was looking on Amazon, and they didn't mention WiFi or bluetooth.

Do you have a link to any of those products? I'll go take a look.

When I reached my 100th Merit, I held a giveaway thread but some members actually posted had good feedback which I took into consideration.

Rather than holding them, reward posts that are deemed Merit-worthy. That way, those participants won't feel compelled to come out with one (often redundant) topic or thread just for a measly Merit or two.

After all, it's all paid entertainment.

I have the same feeling as what mttewndew said. Why would I play a game if I have it already in PC?

But the enjoyment is way different from playing it with consoles like XBOX or PS. Now it got me thinking if I'll be good purchasing xbox or ps' latest releases.

Multitasking. With the PC, you could game and switch windows in seconds. And then there's the control. Mouse and keyboard combo is still the king when it comes to fast-paced RPGs and FPS.

Nevertheless, it's nice to have a console as a backup for enjoying some exclusive titles and a multimedia system.

What's your take on this new development in my country?

While it's a good start, I feel that this pretty much applies to every other country that have regulated/ legalized the circulation of crypto.

For those relying on scams, they should be afraid since their activities could be tracked but for us, what is there to hide? If we're mainly trading, that shouldn't raise any red flags.

The government has brainwashed us into thinking anything they don't approval isn't or can't be used as a means of exchange but that's false. Everyday we make exchange with items that aren't officially recognize as currency per se yet the government seems not to do anything about it. You know why? Because they don't feel threaten by those other means of exchange like previous metal, natural resources etc but with bitcoin that has the potential to downplay all they have worked years for sure you don't expect them to just seat down and watch their years of fouling the general public go to waste.

With their definition bitcoin isn't a currency but guess what, bitcoin has been a better and real currency for it's few years of existence than the whole fiat currency have been. Bitcoin doesn't need some centralized approval to function as the community is all the approval bitcoin needs.

They're just worried about money laundering activities. Unlike fiat, which has serial numbers assigned to every note.

Once they start embracing e-Wallets, adopting cryptos would be pretty much a piece of cake.
3994  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has a Bitcoin Transaction ever been censored? on: September 15, 2020, 07:09:17 AM

I think that you have misunderstood it.
The network doesn't care about the source of money. 99% sure the miners also don't care.
The recipient of the money, a company, may however do censoring. That's the "beauty" of custodian wallets  Grin

If you do a search for account closed gambling wallet site:bitcointalk.org you'll find that some exchanges / wallets may not allow money coming from gambling.
Also the wallets known to be related to known hacks are being watched and most exchanges may seize those coins.


I think that this is the censoring Charlie Lee was talking about, not about actual transactions.

I experienced it first hand, not pretty. Wasted nearly 3 weeks on two failed attempts because one came from Freebitcoin and the other from a gambling site. And those were for withdrawing from the custodian wallet.
3995  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fun Facts about Bitcoins on: September 15, 2020, 07:04:25 AM
this is actually a list of great facts, if we manage to know bitcoin when the thing was not famous like this time, we would have been the richiest person at this world. i mean 5 btc for every claim on a single faucet is fucking insane. the amount compared to now is really disgusting and it is not even worth it today because of ads and the delay between each claim

Every man's gotta eat. Because of faucet abusers, that's why we're seeing tons of ads and redirects. Also with the fierce competitions elsewhere, gaining standing out from the rest poses a challenge.

Latest Iphone models in Singapore can cost you around SG$ 1600 to SG$ 2200 depending on your phone storage and RAM. Latest Iphone 11 pro max can cost additional SG$ 150 on price of Iphone 11 Pro.

You guys have upgrade plans that are cheaper from the Telcos, right?

My relatives living there are mainly using iPhones.
3999  Other / Off-topic / Re: Xbox Series S for 299! on: September 13, 2020, 10:24:04 AM
I am a PS user and i don't think the cheaper price will lure gamer to transfer in Xbox since majority of them now are using computers to satisfy their desire in gaming.

and i don't think that the price matters if you are a true gaming fans,even if they dont sell for this price as long as a player loves xbox games then He will buy it no matter what.

It boils down to the titles. While PS wins hands down in terms of exclusive titles, Xbox has its own great lineups too like Forza.

And then Microsoft is making a step into the right direction with the Game Pass so gamers can play their titles on a subscription basis.

I'm sure a lot have a transition from working in a corporate world into freelancing and being a virtual professional.

It's a way to sustain living if someone has lost his job. That could be a very reason why the freelancing world is one of the best marketplaces for professionals and it's sustainable if you find a very good client or boss.

AFAIK, those working in the IT sector are the luckiest since they can just WFH. Wake up like 10 minutes before starting the day Cheesy
