So, how come Chinese cybersecurity company Qihoo 360 can guess there are 109,000 bitcoin mining IP addresses active and the Chinese government, authoritarian as it is, does nothing?

I understand that most will be trying to camouflage via vpn or Tor but if that company can do that estimate I find it hard to believe that the Chinese government can't do the same and act accordingly.

Hi. That's nice of you.

How is the compilation of all transactions going btw?

crwth has updated the charity thread, as he promised.

I wish to clarify one thing. Earlier naim027 has replied to abhisheksag96's thread exposing his plagiarism and I have given him a merit.

After that, I thought that since it was a plagiarized OP surely the moderators would delete it, and I see that it has indeed been so.

I wanted to make it clear because we were already accused once of being alts and alt abuse, which I was able to show was not the case in this thread:

Do you think Poker Player behavior is acceptable?

Just in case anyone finds it odd that I gave him a merit in a thread that has already been deleted.

On the other hand, naim027, if you find plagiarism better expose it here alone, otherwise it could be considered double posting.

So said crwth before a typhoon swept through the Philippines. The typhoon seems to have affected the areas where cabalism13 and bL4nkcode are, but we don't know if it affected crwth's area. He might come around here and say something, because he committed to give data yesterday, and is still posting regularly on the forum as usual.

That's because he is not human. He is a bot:

[FUN] Is DdmrDdmr even human?

As for mentors, I see he has not been mentioned, personally I would choose LoyceV. I doubt I will ever be 50% as helpful as he is to this forum, but since he helped me rank up, I have become a better forum member, he has many helpful threads to learn so much about Bitcoin and about the forum. I take into great consideration the things he says (which is not to say I agree with what he says 100% of the time).

Good thing I don't bet on crypto sites because I'm seeing too many scam accusations lately.

OP, for such an accusation to be credible you should provide proof of some kind, like screenshots of messages.

After they canceled your withdrawal, is your money still in the casino account? See if they have wagering requirements or a mandatory timeout between last deposit and withdrawal.

Hi congratz!

I see you have a bit more merits that activity, which is a good sign.

I also note that you are from (or live in) Nigeria, which is a major community on Bitcointalk, with assets like CryptopreneurBrainboss, Charles-Tim and others. Keep making good use of the forum and in the future you will become a great asset to the community like them.

Hi Lucius, I don't want to get into a polemic with you either, in any case in a reasoned debate.

As I was saying, in these reputation threads it is normal that sometimes it gets personal because over time, some of us interact with others and develop a certain empathy, as I think is your case with cabalism13 whom you say you got to know better after donating small amounts to the charity.

So, when someone you have some empathy for is accused, you usually want more time or more evidence to be given by the accusers, rather than thinking that he is the one who has to provide evidence.

In my case to cabalism13 I did not know him at all, in fact I did not even know his nickname, and I want to explain why I think the red tag I left him is more than justified.

It's not just the $500, which in itself justifies the tag. It is also this:


This alone, without the addresses being public, would have justified red tags in its day, but I guess it went unnoticed, as well as the division of funds between three people, funds that should have remained in the custody of the escrow, and this escrow issue is what makes me believe that 80% of me will end up leaving negative feedback to bL4nkcode (20% I think I will leave a neutral tag).

Probably cabalism13 (and the others) is in general a good person and has done good things, but it is clear to me that he has crossed a line he should not have crossed and therefore I would not trust him to donate to his charity or for money deals in general.

As for giving it time, yahoo62278 gave it a week before opening the thread, and in the only response cabalism13 has given it has left much to be desired to put it mildly. Even people who have empathy for him recognize that there are things that have been done wrong. Therefore, my red tag and that of the others who have left it, is more than justified.

Now it remains to see the other two, who also have good reputation, have people with empathy towards them and even are part of my signature campaign, which I consider as a family, because we are only 25, quality posters, many with good reputation and in DT and some merit sources.

But if as a result of the thread I see that I would not trust them for money deals, I will leave it reflected in red tags.

Hi, great thread.

I like this kind of posts to learn more about the history of Bitcointalk, but:



I didn't have to look very hard to find this. In fact, I think I read that thread and odolvlobo's response at the time. Anyway, with all the negative feedback, I don't think he will scam anyone again in this forum.

When you create a thread like this, you'd better put some source. I've googled the title and the only thing it appears is:

NEW 0% Tax in Bali-Indonesia for Digital Nomads & Foreigners

Regarding the news, I am glad that more and more countries are opening up to the crypto world little by little, although I would like this kind of measures to be taken by the most powerful countries, but I think that, if it ever comes, it will take a long time.

Hi, LoyceV.

When I look at cabalism13's profile both in the forum and in bpip.org, it appears to me with 3 negative feedbacks, but here it appears with 2. The last one was given by owlcatz on 12/17 and this list is from the following day, so I don't see why, since I think the three of us who have given him negative feedback are in DT: The Pharmacist (DT1) owlcatz (DT2) and myself (DT2).


To be honest, Timelord2067 I don't trust your hunches, because I can not call them otherwise, since they are based on sensations rather than on rational arguments of weight, and I experienced it in my own flesh when, after dkbit98 accused me and naim027 of alt abuse, you supported that argument with no other arguments than:



Which is bullshit and I already proved that we are two different people.

In the neutral feedback reference thread you prove nothing and nobody believed you.

Lol.

A crappy thread on Meta, based on total speculation, written by someone who was caught plagiarizing, was given a second chance and uses it to advertise a known scam site.

OP, the connection you make between Lauda and Ratimov is so poor that I'm not going to analyze it. If you really believe that they are the same person, I hope that you will provide some weighty arguments and not the speculative garbage that you say.

The only thing I hope is that, as lovesmayfamilis says, you don't last long on this forum.

Yeah, OK. I was waiting for your response and crwth's one but if there has been a typhoon affecting you I can wait as long as necessary.

Anyway, apart from the activities in a sheet, I think you should provide supporting documentation, if not for all, at least for most activities, and it remains to be seen how you justify that a charity in which you were escrow, went on to split the funds between three and accept funds in other cryptocurrencies in addresses that weren't public.


While I agree in general with what you say, I would not say that we have to loosen up because we have not tightened up. On the contrary, we are giving them plenty of time to justify and document something that, being the handling of funds for a charity, should be already documented and justified, publicly exposed in the charity's thread. I would say on the contrary that we are being quite benevolent and patient with the two of them. Another thing is cabalism13, he is no longer spared, and the last tag by owlcatz is quite expressive.

I don't get it. And from what little I understand, I don't buy it either.

So, you use it a 150 bankroll today. And let's say you earn 25 Doge. You put them in a vault. The long term expectancy for the 150 Doge is to turn into 0. So, when you lose that money, what you do? Yo use another 150 Doge? You are playing a negative mathematical expectancy game, no matter what scripts you use, so the long term inevitable outcome is 0.

As for the Doge you put in a vault, you won't lose them as long as you don't bet with them but if you use them to gamble the same will happen: the long term mathematical expected outcome is 0.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I have the feeling that since the trust system is decentralized, having a red tag is not so important, is that so? Apart from the issue of custom trust lists, which icopress mentions. For example, it appears to me that yahoo62278 has one red tag, but he has 36 in green, and it is not the only case that appears to me of highly trusted member with 1 or 2 red tags. I guess it is not that important.

The rules of my signature campaign, for example, say:


Taking into account that Best_Change also has a red tag (some time ago I could see two), I suppose that he will not automatically expel a member from the campaign for a simple red tag without first analyzing the case.

Well here the OP, who is partially right, starts from a false dilemma. The only investment alternatives are not DCA vs short term trading, there is also long term trading: people who buy a good amount now and buy or sell partially depending on whether they perceive that the market is overheated or bearish, rebalancing, as they say. There would also be long term investing without doing DCA: someone who buys a good amount of Bitcoin today for example, with an investment horizon of a couple of cycles.

But yes, the part you are right about is that DCA is better than short-term trading for the vast majority of people, and I would argue that any of the other investment alternatives discussed are also better than short-term trading.

Oh, OK.

Since I play poker on fiat sites, I wasn't thinking about that.

Of course, I realized that a long time ago. When you deposit, at least in the crypto casinos I have deposited in, you deposit in one address and when you withdraw, you get the money from another address which is the one they use to consolidate inputs. Normally if you deposit today and withdraw tomorrow, probably the money in the address you deposited will still be there, without consolidating.

Anyway, I think this excuse is bulshit, and even more if we talk about 300% of wagering requirements, so the probability of losing your deposit will be close to 100%, because we can say that some people use casinos to launder money in the same way that we can say that some people use mixers to launder money, and in case we want to investigate, we could follow the trail with the collaboration of the casino.

But how do you plan to do it? If what you think is that someone is going to buy the items before you send them the Bitcoin, I don't think anyone is going to do it. And I wouldn't recommend doing it the other way around either.

Let me correct you: there are many useless chart analysis...

I like to come to the speculation section because deep down we would like to be able to predict the future of the price but deep down we know it is impossible. If the prediction and the price coincide, in most cases it is simply because of statistics, with so many predictions that are made, one has to be right, but not because there is a relationship between the charts and the analysis and the final price.

Until now we thought we had a guide to base ourselves on, that this cycle was going to be like the previous ones, also the S2F, but at this point we should be much higher than we are, so we no longer know very well what to base ourselves on, but obviously we will continue to speculate.
