Anyway I'm quite interested in finding out who satoshi wasn't, in my much longer effort to figure out who satoshi was.
I think that majrority of us at some point contemplated and tried to "figure out" who Satoshi is (me too) but once I realized that bitcoin creator being anonymous is one if its strengths, I stopped with that.

Regarding Hal Finney, I wish he was behind Bitcoin, but unfortunately I don't think that he was.
4262  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Countries Where Bitcoin Is legal or banned. on: September 18, 2021, 08:10:46 AM
Where is Nigeria? I could not see Nigeria. Bitcoin and other decentralized currencies are banned by the CBN in Nigeria but not by any of the three arms of government (legislative, executive and judiciary), especially the legislative arm. The rate of bitcoin and other crypto adoption in Nigeria was never negatively affect by the CBN ban.
There it is, i don't know how you missed it. Still baffles me though that Bitcoin has such an undefined status in Nigeria despite the popularity, unfortunately, instead using this to improve your country and maybe attract more capital with favorable crypto laws.

Countries where Bitcoin is neither legal nor illegal

- Nigeria: In Nigeria banks and other financial agencies are not allowed to deal with cryptocurrency but bitcoin have not been targed legal or illegal in Nigeria.

Edit: OP beat me to it by 20 seconds

Goldario is a digital share based Token, which is going to Launch today in Crypto Exchange on 15th September, 2021, the block processors were not a hefty scheme or committed as profit return with 200%, Goldario had always mentioned it as an extra benefit or reward to earn for token holders until Token Launches in Exchanges.
Nice launch at the XT.COM by the way lol. By the the looks of it, you performed classic pump and dump which I am not surprised you did. After all, you hired thread bumpers t fake the interest in yoyr yur project (thread has been deleted now but archived version can be found here https://ninjastic.space/topic/5234514.

Healthy and organic looking chart, no questions about it. Cheesy

Well, welcome to the club, mate! Smiley Let's hope we were both wrong, and all those merits and good wishes were well deserved by OP. But implementing Lightning Network within 24 hours with "4 different persons"? I wish it was true. At this pace we'll be using Lightning Network all over the world in no time! Smiley
Yep, the bolded part is a major red flag. as we all know how rarely Lightning Network is used. I know bunch of people in real life that are into crypto and maybe 2-3 ever bothered to test LN, let alone bough something with it(talking about people that are into crypto for 4-5+ years, now some newbies) ,and now OP sets it up in his store and basically the same day 4 people used it to buy something.

Pure bs if you ask me, but as we can see people are happy to hear anything positive  and not stop to think whether it makes sense or not.

Dream team 100%. Smiley
Počeo sam se ozbiljno brinuti za Spamkovica ali je nekako upao u zadnjoj sekundi, a menadzeru je ovo kobna greška što ih je obojicu prihvatio u istu kampanju, ali barem se mi ne moramo brinuti za lokalnu aktivnost dok traje kampanja.
Potajno sam se nadao da ce se njih dvojica opet prijaviti u Bitvest gdje bi njihov skill najvise dosao do izrazaja i od kojeg bi nas board imao najvise dobiti, ali dobro, nije ni ovo Cheesy



Napravi neku svoju gambling temu, nemoguće da mena ništa zanimljivo za tebe.
Mislim da je Rikafip pisao za filmove i oskar u istoj sekciji.
Da, moze se fakat svasta utrpati u tu gambling sekciju, samo moras uklopiti i gambling dio u cijelu pricu, da ne bi tema bila premjestena.

Damnnnn, the sassssss.
The very first post on this forum, and you are promoting crypto exchange (wrapped up in a thread) and yet you get offended by being called for doing an obvious thing. Hell, you even said it by yourself that you are Coin Corner marketing executive. You are just doing your job I guess...but much learn you must, young padawan.


4269  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How has Bitcoin Changed your life? on: September 14, 2021, 03:18:40 PM
lives change when you have some BTC and its price shoot to mars. if you only have few, your life still change since you have something to watch out and pray for the price to go up.

coincorner is a philippine btc company, what is your role there? kaibigang naomi, any position available to apply for?
Her role is to promote Coin Corner exchange on bitcointalk via opening threads on Bitcoin discussion board and engaging people. By the looks of it, she is succeeding in her role Cheesy
4270  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My hardware store now accepts Bitcoin! on: September 14, 2021, 02:59:44 PM
Well, that would be very unfortunate if you were right, but I'm afraid that was exactly the case. The guy was last active yesterday here, but he didn't respond to any questions in this thread.

I didn't give him any money or merit, and yet I feel scammed in a way.

Please, OP, prove I was wrong.
Another interesting thing is his merit history and the only account (so far) he sent merit to, newbieexcro. Check his post history and you will find some similarities like @excro claiming to own small electronics shop, while wnet owns hardware store, both applying to same merit giveaway threads almost one after the other etc.

edit; reading this post again, bitcointalk got me really paranoid. I mean, I am naturally suspicious to everything, but this this forum brought me to a completely new level Cheesy

4271  Other / Meta / Re: Did you notice that forum have fewer trolls in 2021? on: September 13, 2021, 05:47:19 PM
If we take a look at stats in last few years we can see that usage of that word is also declining compared to year 2020, 2019 and especially 2018.

Year 2018 has 23,431 mentioning of word scammer.
Year 2019 has 16,982 mentioning of word scammer.
Year 2020 has 14,052 mentioning of word scammer.
Year 2021 has   5,384 mentioning so far and we only have 3 months left in this year... does it mean there is a less scam and scammers in forum?
Since there is constant decrease of forum activity, its kinda logical to assume that number of scammers will decrease too, as they have less potential victims, and as you said they are moving onto more "suitable" platforms like Telegram.

Its pretty much the same situation in scam accusation board which is way less active this year than it was in 2020. Unless there are less scam busters this yeas and that's the cause of sharp decline in the amount of posts. (I know I am way less active on that front than I was before).





4272  Other / Meta / Re: [CLUB] The SpamBusters! Busting rule-breakers constantly. on: September 12, 2021, 08:09:10 AM
@mods that are following this thread.

Yesterday I reported low value thread called 7 crypto acronyms you need to know as it was just a copy/paste of an article without providing any personal opinion. Report has been marked as good, but it's still there so I guess that you just forgot to delete it. Looking at @Nathrixxx seems like that is his MO, and more of a rule than an exception.






4273  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My hardware store now accepts Bitcoin! on: September 12, 2021, 07:18:21 AM
OP haven't responded with detailed information in any of his topics (I take it with a grain of salt), that's why I asked.
+1

I don't want to be a party pooper, but whole this story about him owning a hardware store and implementing LN payments in a couple of hours seems like a bullshit to me. On top of that, allegedly people immediately started paying via LN.

I wish all this is true, but this looks to me like this guy knows what people here want to hear and fabricated this story in order to squeeze some easy merit. Wouldn't be a first newbie doing that..
4274  Other / Off-topic / Re: 7 crypto acronyms you need to know on: September 11, 2021, 09:33:50 AM
@Nathrixxx  Not a single word in your post has been written by you, as you just copy/pasted everything from that article without properly formatting the text and without adding anything of your own. Classic low value merit fishing shitpost that has been reported to the mods.
4275  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM] ETHsun- cloud mining ponzi on: September 11, 2021, 09:09:57 AM
I feel like you should include this account too hyx7788(or at least a negative tag). I am pretty sure that the two accounts are owned by the same person. first she claimed that she personally visited the company and invested/bought one of the company's  investment offers.
You are right, hyx7788 deserves both tag and flag as its obviously an alt account of the @Ethsun so that has been sorted. And yeah, that story is a complete bullshit, very similar to the ones that can be found on Ethsun website.


So, here is the Flag Type 1 on @hyx7788, please support  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2833
4276  Other / Meta / Re: [CLUB] The SpamBusters! Busting rule-breakers constantly. on: September 11, 2021, 09:03:25 AM
these two accounts(most likely created by the same person) hyx7788 and Ethsun are an obvious shills of "hkethsun"(a cloud mining platform). they are spamming their website and pretending to be different person creating threads and talking to each other. the platform is most likely a scam too.
Yep, that's an obvious shilling of a scam website, and pretty bad one. I see that hyx7788 posts have been deleted already (afaik not nuked yet) while I tagged and flagged @thesun for a scam promotion as he still has one active thread in which he promotes that ETHsun website.
4277  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: The fairest mining machine investment platform on: September 11, 2021, 08:35:14 AM
An obvious scam with fake photos, fake customers, fake year of establishing etc, unreasonable high ROI promises etc (~300% ROI in 6 months). @Ethsun has been tagged and flagged by me, and you can find more info about it in this scam accusation topic.
4278  Economy / Scam Accusations / [SCAM] ETHsun- cloud mining ponzi on: September 11, 2021, 08:26:42 AM
What happened: Ethsun is just another ponzi scheme pretending to offer cloud mining service. Everything about it its fake; from the year they claim to start working, pictures of their offices and "server room" to their profit model, which is unsustainably high

Then they have pictures of their offices, buildings, mining rigs etc while those are all stock photos. Just one example of their office

 


But most ridicoulous of all are testimonies of satisfied customers Cheesy

My name is James, I am an ordinary cab driver, one month, I found that many customers who took my car went to one place, that is EthSun company, they gave me the feeling of being very rich, which made me feel very interested in this company, so I came to this company to visit, came to this high-end building, let me feel that everything is very extravagant, under the guidance of the company staff Under the guidance of the company's staff, I understand a lot of content that I did not know before, wealth just by hard work is not possible, but also need vision, I applied for an account, bought 500 $ mining machine, through their share profit way, I referred a person to get 15%, the first I got 75 $, and he also referred a friend, I did not expect, I also profit 37.5 $, after the success of the account, I recommended to my colleagues are I applied for an account, just a few days, I made a profit of $5000, then I bought another $5000 mining machine, this month, I successfully made a profit of $18000, in the future, I can get more, but I have never had the income, thanks to my choice, thanks to EthSun!

All in all, pure scam, that should be avoided. Therefore, OP tagged and flagged!







4279  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: KNOWLEDGE IS BETTER THAN MERIT on: September 07, 2021, 05:18:03 PM
Newbie account talking about knowledge>merit, which looks to me like yet another merit fishing attempt.

@Joy_learns_crypto is there any connection  between you and EzeBitcoin2002, another newbie that came to Beginners & Help section looking for some easy merit, and plagiarizing while doing so. It's just that after I called him out for plagiarizing, he suddenly disappeared (probably expecting that I will report him which i forgot to do) and your account was created.





Dunno, maybe I am wrong and I am just too paranoid, but I smell BS here.
4280  Other / Meta / Re: Could the merit system demotivate lurkers? on: September 06, 2021, 07:18:00 PM
If merits are not "needed" to participate why have them?
Reason for merit system is simple; to prevent spammers and shitposters ever reaching higher ranks as before that all you had to do is write 14 posts in two weeks and eventually you reach higher ranking account that you can sell. Rinse and repeat.

Or, this is how theymos put it

I'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by:
 - Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc.
 - Highlighting good posts with the "Merited by" line.


By the way, I was a lurker here for quite some time before I registered because as an introvert I like to observe things first before joining. Eventually I reached the point where I was lurking for hours on the daily basis so I thought to myself "might as well register and start actively participating".
