Maybe it's related to declining activity on the forum, so even those spammers are seen as a necessary evil to keep the forum active. Beggars can't be choosers.  If theymos wanted spambots to keep the forum active, he could just as well make them by himself. I doubt he's into that. Why even bother replying to this topic? Yet, it has over 40 pages of replies. Spam megathreads work great for reaching post quotas. That's 800+ posts about nothing, read by nobody, but all being paid. |

I'll make my own index, but it's not going to be a scale:
Fear: 100
Greed: 100 Hmm, So that's a constant, which means accumulating and holding BTC regardless of any market price? Let me put it this way: I don't panic sell when the price drops, and I don't sell everything when the price goes up. My point being: "fear" and "greed" are not one scale that can move to one side or the other. On a personal level, there should be 2 scales and they can move independent of each other. TBH that's not for everyone, At least on the forum only 5% of people can bear it. If you can't handle a 85% drop without panic selling, Bitcoin isn't for you. But that doesn't mean I don't fear it  I prefer the Bitcoin Rainbow Price Chart, I like how it puts the current price into a historic perspective. |

Mempool Space now allows anyone to pay for and accelerate any transaction they want. You don't need to register an account and get whitelisted. There are a few customization options. From what I can see right now, there are three options where you can pay between 51k and 60k sats. When you choose how much you want to pay, you will see a QR code with an LN invoice. Of course, RBF and CPFP remain the better options than paying Mempool space for the acceleration. So that's why they never got back to confirming my account. It's a good service, but right now it looks a bit misleading: Reducing expected confirmation time to within ~9 minutes
~
Your transaction will be prioritized by up to 39.0% of miners. The first statement is incompatible with the second statement. I like that they're promoting LN instead of shitcoins for this. |

I mean I did insert the new address in the message I signed before You're right, it looks like I wasn't fully awake yet. Sorry for that. Post deleted. |

So, let me get this straight. Anyone who promoted a mixing service that facilitated money laundering, or provided liquidity to that service, is considered a criminal, in your view? That's like saying everyone with a bank account is a criminal  |

anyone can create this fear & greed index, then make the index zero (extreme fear), it has no impact to me or educated people who know the reason they hold Bitcoin. I'll make my own index, but it's not going to be a scale: Fear: 100 Greed: 100 Done! |

I have read that Kraken withdrawal fee is cheap but I have not used the exchange before. I do not know about the trading fee. The trading fee on Kraken is 0.25% to 0.40% (for maker or taker). The withdrawal fee is 0.0002 BTC. If you deposit 1000 GBP, that means a market buy costs you 4 GBP in trading fees. You'll get about 0.02259 BTC, after withdrawing you'll have 0.02239 BTC in your wallet. Total cost for 1000 GBP: 0.4% trading fee and 0.9% withdrawal fee. The withdrawal fee gets relatively cheaper when buying larger amounts. For small amounts, withdrawing costs a large percentage. |

It's gotten to the point where I'm very tempted to start up a thread in Meta about the decline of post quality forum-wide I'd say: "do it!", but I already know that's not going to improve post quality. I find it harder and harder to empty my Merit source. I now have 200+ source sMerits remaining, and it increases by the hour. members using AI to write the most bland, generic shit possible I really don't get why the obvious spammers get such a soft treatment nowadays. my discouragement has led me to do less reading than ever before, and that's not a good thing. Even the tech boards get shittified by chatbot diarrhea. Call me old, but I don't like it. |

Hahaha...satoshi of all people? It's called making a point  hoarding it for several months doesn't serve the forum any good and neither will it reflect the good intention of theymos on this. Don't you think theymos accounted for a certain percentage of sMerit to never be sent, when he decided how much sMerit each source can send per month? It was even adjusted a few times. I'd say the total number of sMerit sent is more or less okay now. |

While this might work efficiently for PC/laptops/desktops, the case is different when it comes to iPads/notepads/mobile devices. You still get to scroll manually to where you need be. On phones there are much bigger issues than the location of this rarely used feature. |

due to the amount of images that it had I had to scroll for a while before I reached those options. Press CTRL-End. |

Btw: I am a hero member now after waiting for so long... Congratulate me, or promise me something in return. Congrats! I remember the day I turned Legendary. Theymos has his little ways of torturing people, it took amazingly long to finally reach it. It really gets to you, not knowing when it's going to happen. You'll know the feeling soon enough At least you're almost there with Merits. I had 0 Merits when I became a Hero Member. |

- And the big change, now you can verify your letters of guarantee. My first thought: that's bad, never upload it anywhere but verify it locally! Then I saw this: This verification tool runs locally on your browser and does not fetch data or even scripts from other servers. That does make it convenient, especially since (I tested this) it also checks if the correct address is used for signing). But still, the user can't easily verify whether or not anything gets uploaded, so I'd still prever to verify any signed messages in my own Bitcoin wallet. |

Stop promoting this custodial wallet! Nobody should use that crap in any country, and this has nothing to do with bitcoin.
This is how ''friendly'' chivowallet website is when you are trying to open it with Tor browser. It took some time, but after that it loads fine in my Tor browser. I don't have a problem with custodial LN (for small amounts), but I don't like installing apps so I haven't tried this. If it can send LN to a normal LN request, I'd say it has everything to do with Bitcoin. If it can't do that, then I'd agree to avoid it entirely. |

They are also a B*tg*t shill I count 931 posts (more than 80% of the spam posts listed) since this spam suddenly started on April 27. Before that, it was never mentioned, and it hasn't stopped since. |

Do the author want to tax the holders? Is he mad? It sounds just like someone wanting their 15 minutes of fame. And it's working. |

Bitcoin ain’t going PoS. This (crazy) idea is the opposite of PoS. |

yes but there are some financial principals that are best left intact. one of them being that the transaction fee needs to be based the value being transferred. Anything that ignores that is in trouble from the beginning. And it's just a matter of time...before problems pop up. That's my opinion anyhow. I'll end this futile discussion by saying I trust Satoshi's vision a lot more than yours. imagine being a bitcoin miner and watching people send 10 bitcoins worth $600,000 and they only paid you a $5 fee. Imagine a Bitcoin miner mining empty blocks, and luckily someone wants to pay him $5. He'll take it. If he doesn't like it, he shouldn't be a Bitcoin miner. Just like you're not a Bitcoin miner. |

look around you in the real world. Bitcoin was created to break with the old financial world, not to reproduce it. but i know how money transfer services work and how fees are levied. you are not going to send $10,000 with western union and pay the same fee as someone only sending $100. That's because there's a physical transaction involved. Securely shipping $10,000 to a remote location costs more than shipping $100. If you prefer to pay more for larger transactions, by all means, use Western Union. |

because someone sending a large amount of money really should be paying a larger transaction fee than someone sending a smaller amount. you could make the transaction fee a percentage of the amount being sent. one of those things that bitcoin got wrong... You're trolling again. i thought bitcoin miners were people who run nodes but also mine blocks. So you have no idea how a mining pool works. |
