I think there's a problem with the current signature design (it doesn't look like it should be). I'm using Google Chrome, and the other signature ad designs look fine. Only the cryptoplay.io signature design looks different. Here's what it looks like from my perspective: 
In the signature campaign OP thread, it looked like this:  You got that issue with Google Chrome but on PC or on mobile? On my PC device, I saw signature display as the second screenshot shared by you. On my mobile, yes I saw a signature display as the first screenshot you shared. There are visual differences between PC and mobile for signature displays and community reported those differences in some campaigns. |

I always hear that, when the market is buying there will be an increase in price of bitcoin and when it is selling there will be a decrease in the price.
The market works with a Supply and Demand principle in general. Sellers sell bitcoins and buyers buy bitcoin. If selling pressure from sellers is bigger than buying force from buyers, price will fall. If buying force is bigger than selling pressure, price will take off. However, in this market you must know about leverages, margins, futures and forced liquidations that can make price crashes or rises a lot. Many people lose money by forced liquidations when they want to gamble in the market. |

One fund, multiple assets:  The screenshot is interesting so can I use it to discuss about stable coins too? Stable coins must be backed by fiat currencies like the US. dollar. If they are backed by volatile assets like gold, Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins, they might lose their pegs anytime. Attacks from whales and market markers can kill stable coin pegs very quickly. A massive crash of Terra and its algorithmic stable coin is example of bad managed treasury can be easily attacked and broken down. |

Can you tell us why I trust Electrum or why it's better than any other wallet?
Don't say it is better than all other wallets. It is good because it is open source, non custodial and you own the wallet private keys, mnemonic seeds. You control your bitcoins by using Electrum wallet. That wallet software is available for Android, mobile and you can use Ligthning Network too. But it can be your best choice but not best choices of other people who can buy hardware wallets or use Bitcoin Core with full nodes. The paranoid user's security guide for using Electrum safely. It's an useful security guide to use Electrum wallet and helpful for not only newbies. |

Some basic features of forum are written in Help page. I noticed you mentioned some good points but you missed forum privacy page and IP address page. A first one is useful if you want to limit your IP retention time and a second one is helpful to detect suspicious log in with strange IP addresses. https://bitcointalk.org/privacy.phphttps://bitcointalk.org/myips.phpYou also missed "All" to show all posts in a thread. |

Gold is mostly being used as a hedge — not something that would make you rich. Like, I don't think anyone in the right mind would think the latter. Bitcoin on the other hand — could become a hedge in the future, but it's still in its early stages hence its high growth(and high risk) nature.
Gold can help you rich if you hold it very long time like 10 years or better 20 to 30 years. Its value increases with time but gold value increase comes from many factors like fiat currency inflation, war and political problems globally that don't usually occur. Bitcoin can help you rich during shorter period because its design with 4-year halving gives people more emotion to be late and they feel more reasons to hop on before it is too late. In addition, the convenience from Bitcoin blockchain is surely better than physical gold bars. Even people can trade gold, they will have to rely on banks, vaults that less secured than Bitcoin blockchain.

I think that so far, the service has fulfilled its purpose, despite this inconvenience for some users. Therefore, I would like to understand how many users use Tor, so I can make a decision on the matter.
I really think that your free service is already well enough for Bitcointalk members. I mean as a free service, it is good enough to use. You can not satisfy all members and I know your image uploading service is created as an alternative for Imgur.com. That website disallowed uploading images from Tor along time ago but people still used it until their latest serious change against proxy from Bitcointalk months ago. I think if I am serious about my privacy, avoid or reduce uploading images from third party websites is my best choice. For your next upgrade to serve Tor using demand, because of high cost, I believe you can only deploy it if you receive more donation from community. It is not about benefit for your service operation but I don't think it makes sense to host it with more expensive cost just to satisfy minority with Tor-using demand. |

Do you consider this important? Usually when we request some payment in bitcoin, we don't care where those funds comes from. But what happens when some of us try to cash out that balance through some CEX to your bank account
Use different receiving addresses for different sources of your income. If anything is wrong with one source, you will only have issue with that income source and one receiving address. If you use only one receiving address for all income sources, that address will be tainted even you get income from other clean sources. https://www.bitcoinwhoswho.com/tagshttps://insight.is/ |

It is a very good looking educational website of a reputable forum member n0nce.
I thought about that user when I saw the domain name and it is truly his website because he lets it in his account profile pagee. Another member has an education website is NotATether with Bitcoincleanup.com. I was looking for websites like this for a while finally got one of them, please share anyone who knows this type of old school websites.
sharing here so newbie can know about it. because I was not found as a newbie than.
You can learn with two more websites. https://learnmeabitcoin.com/https://www.lopp.net/bitcoin-information.htmland Awesome Bitcoin Github. |

This has led me to research how to make a quality post, make a good reply to people's posts
To make quality posts, you must write less. Don't write if you don't have excellent knowledge to share or join a discussion to help OP of that thread to solve his problems. Read more and post less or even don't post if you self-feel that your post is not helpful. and also learn how to quote a general post as well as a particular sentence in a post.
Quoting is part of process when you answer other members in Bitcointalk and it is good if you don't quotes many posts in a pyramid scheme. It is a style of shitposters who don't care to quote succinctly. Bitcointalk - Post formatting. [Tips] Posting technique. |

My Salary is in GBP, so they convert it into BTC every time, buy that amount and send it to me. Does that address your concerns?
I don't know what you shared is true or untrue. My thinking is your company must have part of their financial treasury in Bitcoin. They have to buy Bitcoin and store it in their treasury or they accept Bitcoin as part of their business and use payments they received in Bitcoin then assign it as their budget for salary distribution to staffs including you. Because if they have to buy Bitcoin at time of monthly salary distribution, it looks odds with me. |

Hahaha SER! You can't merely just approach/talk to people, then make an introduction that you made wagers that totalled $65 million in two different casinos/sports-betting sites. Because even though you truly have wagered $65 million, I believe it would actually look more credible if you simply asked the casino how much their highest betting limits currently are for more serious punters.  To be frank, a serious punter might not want their total amount wagered be known by many people, especially in forums. You are only telling the truth. When people are richer, they care more about their privacy and it is true not only for whales in gambling but in Bitcoin investment or any area in life. I would like to add one more. Privacy can not be regained after you lost it. Like in forums, data will be archived by forum operators and even third party data scrapers can scrap data, posts and archive those information too. I agree with your about importance of don't publicly share information about wealth in any forum. People share it can be are not aware about privacy, don't care about privacy or just want to show their wealth to satisfy their ego but later they will regret because as said, Privacy can not be regained after leaking and losing it on Internet. |

I am surprised seeing this kind of post coming from a full member but wait how did you come about the merits on yours accounts because earning 100 merits means you should have some knowledge about posting here except if the account change hands or maybe you bought the account.
That user was a Full member before merit system appeared and received only 1 merit. You can check with BPIP and knew about that. I quickly had that guess after seeing account creation time is in 2017. Post history is in altcoin discussion board that is ignored by many users and merit sources barely visit that board. Those posts are one line so you have to guess about those post quality too. "Need advice on getting merits"? Please read two topics from theymos, OP. Merit & new rank requirementsWelcome message |

it's Metamask, Electrum, MEW, Trust, Coinomi, Atomic, or any other program you consider a wallet.
It provides the option to produce a seed phrase or private key when you install Metamask.
Other programs like Trust, MEW, and Atomic may all access your ETH if you use the same seed phrase across them all.
Therefore, the next time you download a wallet app, you won't need to create a new seed phrase; instead, you can import the one you already have to manage your current funds across different apps.
You seem don't understand importance of mnemonic seed, private key and risk when you import your private key or mnemonic seed. When you do it, do it offline. When you are considering to import your wallet mnemonic seed to a website, a wallet software, you must know you are leaking it to a third party if that website or wallet software has back doors. I advise you don't import your wallet mnemonic seed to any wallet software if you want to do it to have an experience or to satisfy your curiosity. It's risky. |

I backed it up long time ago but I change where I was staying and I lost the back up.
Making only one backup is not enough. You need more than one backup for a wallet and you already learned a lesson. How to backup a seed phraseBefore we get into any specific backup methods, the first question you should answer is: how many backups do you actually need? One may not be enough!
Consider the device (if any) that is being used to store your keys for regular use. Does that device allow you to export the seed phrase whenever you want? If not, you need more than one backup. Assume that you only have one backup - if that backup gets lost / stolen / destroyed / inaccessible for any reason, then you now only have one copy of your seed phrase and you may not have any way to create additional copies if your key management device does not allow exporting the seed phrase. As such, in this situation you would need to create a new wallet, backup the seed phrase, and move all of your funds to the new wallet - all while praying that nothing goes wrong with your sole remaining set of keys (such as the device breaking or getting wiped.)
Since I had the wallet on that phone, I didn't bother to redo the back up.
When you write down seed in your backups, you have to test accuracy of your writing initially. If you fail to recover your wallet from that backup, check typo and fix your writing typo. Later you should regularly check up your backup. If they are broken, make new ones to replace old backups. When you knew you lost your only backup, but did not mind to make a new one, it's bad practice. 2 days ago, the phone refuse to come back online, I tried everything I can but it never and I took the phone to a Engineer, he checked the phone and I was told the phone panel is dead.
It's bad news but you can also assume you lost your coin to the engineer as well. I don't assume the engineer is a bad man but when you give your device with bitcoin inside to someone else, you must assume you afford to lose it. |

Nobody expects quantum computers to be able to break cryptography by brute forcing 256 bit keys, which is what this picture demonstrates. We expect them to reverse public key to private in a non-exponential time (as with classic computers now), by algorithms like Shor's. Quantum computers breaking cryptography is not a FUD, it is just resolvable. Once the development of quantum computers has risen so much that working out private keys can be done in practice within a reasonable time frame, we will have long switched to a quantum-safe algorithm. Quantum computers are creating not only to working out Bitcoin private keys and it is not main utility of those computers. I think development and creation of more powerful computers will require more foundations from technological developments as well as costs spent to set up those computers. It requires more inputs than what developers have to do to upgrade Bitcoin protocol and algorithm to be safe from Quantum computers. Developing things with code is more easily and less challenging with things need to have physical things and rely so much on available physical equipment development and resources. |

That's a crazy number and I bet early adopters and even Satoshi couldn't have predicted bitcoin would be such a success.
He had his predictions for Bitcoin future, years ago. Right. Otherwise we couldn't have a finite limit of 21 million coins, because there would always need to be some minimum reward for generating. In a few decades when the reward gets too small, the transaction fee will become the main compensation for nodes. I'm sure that in 20 years there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume.
Do you feel great with his predictions? It is like making a prediction with two tails for Bitcoin future. Massively success or failure, he has great vision. To be honest, I don't know if anyone has been able to hold the bitcoins purchased since then until now, but I believe the majority sold out when bitcoin hit $1k and will buy back later at a higher price than. I really don't think anyone has the courage and confidence to buy bitcoin for less than $1 and not sell it until now.
Most of them bought Bitcoin at cheap prices like few cents and lost their coins because they did not seriously with what they bought, did not backup or just lost their backups. From on-chain transactions, there are actually people who still hold their bitcoins from many years ago. On Twitter, you can get alarms from some accounts that some old bitcoins are moving recently. Usually, those old bitcoin movements will be shilled on media and you will know about them. Usually those news are fud on the market when Bitcoin just top off and around its resistance or nearly to start losing its support. |

Forgive me if i am wrong, but the only answer you become in fact of Bitcoin Security was and is, "The time will change, when the Quantum Computering will be able to Brute all PK's" and this is far away.
There are many discussions about risk from quantum computers as well as fud to make people fearful about it. Let's take a look that this graphics.  How hard is it to brute force a Bitcoin private keyBitcoin seed security analysis |

20% seems very low compared to the volatile nature of crypto assets and I won't be surprised if many others say it's not enough but from an investor perspective this is something too good and if you manage to hit that value for the next few years then your capital will be doubled.
20% looks to be low and small ROI in cryptocurrency market where you can see many altcoins pump 100% or 200% or even higher within 24 hours or a week. However if it is about a long term ROI, 20% is a very good profitable rate from trading. Altcoin enthusiasts can x2 x10 their capital with one or two successful bets but after that, they can quickly lose their capital as well by falling in rug pulled projects and fiascos like Terra and FTX. I think you know well about risk of altcoins so the 20% annual ROI from OP's trading strategy is good one. It's just will it be able to work well in different market phases. But as I always recommend just go with a maximum of 30% as capital for your trading from your total crypto portfolio value and anything beyond is a huge leap towards risk.
With capital management and allocation for trading, I even self-limit it to less than 10% of my capital. The main part of my capital like up to 90% belongs to long term holding and most of them is in BTC, not in altcoins. |
