There should be a special Bitcoin discussion section that one can gain access to by signing a message with an address with at least 1BTC.

This section would enable bagholders to talk without signature spammers, trolls, and newbies crowding the discussion, as well as make trades with others.

What do you guys think? Feedback below would be appreciated!
What scammers usually do?

They collect info about other peoples funds.

Go away.
4342  Other / Meta / Merit Bug on: February 07, 2018, 01:19:02 AM
I have found merit bug.

This shitposter user https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1134109 was full member earlier today.

His activity dropped to 51(however his activity should be 0 because he is spammer) and he become Junior member(user was Full member and if I am correct mod trashed his 80 posts), however his "merit activity" remained the same - 100 merits, and I honestly think that his merits should drop to 0.

I think this is something you should look at.

I read that as porn addiction, clicked the thread and was really disappointed.
I wonder how many members are actually addicted to porn, cocaine, weed or wanking? maybe we should ask your "source" QS. That would be about as relevant to anything as this thread
It is not fun at all to make fun of sex addicts. I am sex addict. My wife is "nymfo" and she is also sex addict. Not fun at all...Damn you TMAN, now you made me to have sex...again....for third time today...all I can think is sex sex sex...not fun at all to have so much sex...

4344  Economy / Reputation / Re: HEROcoin (PLAY) https://www.herosphere.gg - Missing ICO allocated Tokens on: February 07, 2018, 12:13:00 AM
Well, my conclusion is: some random guy complained about enforcing KYC https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2141510.msg23909635#msg23909635 and this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2141510.msg23917019#msg23917019.

Then herocoin.io announced here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2141510.msg24042823#msg24042823 [1] that you can claim bounties.

You complained after 20 days: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2141510.msg25114691#msg25114691 about it.

Bon3s90(herocoin team member?) told you that you are 2 weeks late to claim bounty https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2141510.msg25130340#msg25130340
And then you asked where it was stated that you need to do KYC https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2141510.msg25181246#msg25181246 and it was stated in [1] link.

It was announced here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2116864.msg21664642#msg21664642 that all unsold tokens will be burned, and bon3s90 said here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2116864.900 that unsold tokens were burned and also here it was stated that you can claim your bounty https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2116864.msg24181122#msg24181122
And somewhere it is stated that 99% participants claimed bounty rewards.

So, how did you miss this announcement? You were waiting for tokens and you didn't read 1)bounty thread and 2)ICO thread?
OK, I get it, you didn't read bounty/ico thread because they were heavily spammed.

But in case you missed it bounty manager should have contacted you, like my signature manager contacted me because I never read bounty thread and if he hasn't contacted me I would have been kicked out of FJ campaign. SO I understand.

I agree that this information should have been written in bounty topic but there is nothing you can do now.
Tokens were burned, at least they claim that they burned tokens. You were late to do KYC, that's it. Nothing much you can do here.

Edit* sorry, just to add this. FUCK KYC. This is crypto.

4346  Other / Meta / Re: Merits as requirement. on: February 06, 2018, 04:08:59 PM
Good Day to everyone.
Good evening.
I would like to know if it is a must to add merit count requirements when participating into a campaign
No.
I mean is it better to hire applicants with merits or by basing on their quality post?
No. IMHO It should be based on their post quality not merits.
I have seen yahoo62278 start to come up with the idea of accepting applicants with merits for high payments  but also accepted applicants without merits since the merit feature is fresh.
He can do whatever he wants to do, he is signature campaign manager. He can kick you without any reason and he doesn't have to explain anything and he doesn't need to explain rules of his campaign to anyone.
For clarification, do managers have to hire applicants with merits in a must or not?
No. But if they do - their campaign their rules.

But with so many members competing, we can see merit as requirement as well for participating in signature campaigns.
Competing? You guys really don't get it, do you?

The merit will help judging the best with those who actually make irrelevant or off topic posts.
No it won't. You can write hundred shitposts and create one nice and constructive topic and receive merits for it.

i have video of them changing seeds and there not provable fair
Are you sure that you understand how provably fair system works?

You see, they are using provably fair system which I honestly don't like because I have to manually change client seed every few bets - but that doesn't mean they are cheating.

Which means: They don't use nonce. That's why server seed change every bet. And your client seed too - unless you write your own client seed in that case ONLY SERVER SEED WILL CHANGE every bet.

I would really like to see nonce - because with nonce there is no room for cheating, which means you will write your client seed which will remain unchanged, they will provide their server seed which will remain unchanged, nonce will change from 1 - n. But that is also double edged sword for casino - because whoever catch their server seed can take all balance and there won't be any way for them to prove that, also that is very long shot but possibility is still there.

i love how all the shill posted within 45 mins

bought accounts by bitvest
You are just another delusional monkey who is running around forum and accusing every casino for scam without proofs and without understanding how provably fair system works.

As owner of a gambling guide - Bitcoin Gambling 101, I am curious as to how the crazy December and then January price changes affected your gambling wins/ losses?
Well, I have certain percentage of bitcoins which I can afford to lose. So my bets were the same in bitcoins while their value in dollars was different.
And I've used litecoin few times when network was overloaded because I didn't want to pay huge fee for bitcoin transactiion.
4351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why not play games online instead of gambling? on: February 05, 2018, 02:14:21 PM
Many but not all gamblers are claiming they gamble for fun and pass time. I was just thinking. If it is the reason why people gamble then why not play online games? There is a lot of good and challenging onlne games wherein you can interact with other people online?
Why don't you sell your computer and buy a bicycle, then you can drive around with your friends instead of spending time here?
So many nonsenses in this gambling section, and most of this nonsenses comes from people who never gamble, what an irony. And you people come here to teach us what is better to do, what a bunch of idiots you are, yes idiots because you are trying to teach others how to live. You have your own life, watch that you f. moron's.
And just for the record I love to gamble and to play online games and what will you say now?
How many stupid people there is in this gambling section, I said yesterday that I will start to report your stupid comments! And I definitely will do that, if you don't gamble go to off topic section and there you can post your girly topics.
I don't see why do you think anyone(OP) want to teach you something. OP is obviously curious person and he doesn't understand why lots of people say that they are gambling only for fun while gambling is game with purpose to win money. Probably you didn't understand topic.

I'll quote part of one very interesting post posted recently(I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING  Wink):
Quote
You don`t have many gamblers on this forum, you have more people that like to talk about it and get paid for that talk rather then gamble
So, there is no reason to be angry on OP.  Wink

Beside that:

Whoever disagree with you = don't have his own life = moron = deserve report to moderator because of disagreement?
I don't think so.
If you don't like to discuss about certain things then you shouldn't even reply to this topic. Also your assumption is wrong, OP didn't say whether he is gambling or not, so you can't really say "people who never gamble are posting".
However you can report topic as a duplicate.

EDIT just to add this:

There are literally hundreds studies about certain...things...and if you do some research you will find many studies on this topic so it is not really shitposting.  Wink

They just don't know how to properly use sMerit system. I guess they see it as Facebook Like, they give Merit to what they agree with or what they like... That is just wasting of sMerit.

That is not correct. You see, pugman made very constructive post. You just have to read between lines:

Quote
Fucking shut up!
Please stop complaining, only thing you guys are doing are complaining about merit and you can't write single constructive post.
Quote
Go away from this forum if you can't read anything or don't know what is going on.
Merit system was introduced because of users like you, I am sorry for telling you the truth, but that is how it is, besides, your all posts are spam 2-3 lines post burst and some of your posts are plagiarism so you will probably be banned from using forum, and whoever is banned is not allowed to come back so I would suggest you to find another forum.
Quote
And FYI ,a member,I repeat a member:- nullius has received way more merits than 99% of the users here.
I will give you example how you should post constructive posts if you want to receive merit, check nullius's posts and you will see that he is posting high quality posts and you should try to be at least half constructive he is and because he is writing high quality posts he has received more merit than any other junior member here.
Quote
So again,GTFO.
So again, to repeat, if you don't like this forum, this merit system and you don't like forum rules I can only suggest you to use other forum without merit system.

Although I don't agree on choice of his words, but I know what he was trying to say and to be honest I am not sure why OP isn't banned already, he likes to copy articles which are not his https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2876260.msg29591360#msg29591360, unless OP is CEO and CO founder of an exchange which I highly doubt.. Roll Eyes


EDIT
@eternu, was my post constructive enough? I spent some time writing it and I pointed hidden meaning of pugmans post. I even used bold and italic.
Would you show to the others how to properly use merit system, because it is not Facebook Like and you are giving merits to constructive posts only?
4354  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🌟Bitvest🌟 - Investor Plinko, Dice, Slot, Roulette, Bitspin | ETH/LTC Launched! on: February 05, 2018, 01:32:16 AM
they change player seeds on one large bet and i know this as a fact as i changed the seed before hand because it was a big bet

also 1btc is a lot of bets and many more bets placed all pretty good volume

its about house edge and lies they say
As I said you should provide screenshot or something and to repeat we don't know HOW did you bet. You could have played 1000 small bets and 1 big bet and to be honest it's not so hard to check, before your every bet you can see server seed hash and after each bet you can see the same hash, which is changing together with your client seed every single bet(unless you write your own client seed in that case only server seed change).
If you don't trust their fairness checker you can always check bets manually, you can even check slot reels https://bitvest.io/img/slot/reel0_l.png. Unless you can do all that you shouldn't spread FUD like this.
the site is provably fair -their provably fair tab explains it all and shows you every roll's hash before the roll,you can verify your bet result
They should add nonce.

No, I didn't. You said:

You don`t have many gamblers on this forum, you have more people that like to talk about it and get paid for that talk
Didn't I say in topic "whoever is gambling"? I bet I did. I didn't say "WHOEVER IS PAYED TO POST IN THIS THREAD".
Why are you obsessed with others people lives? You don't have yours so you like to talk what others like to do?
"Why do people say that they are gambling for fun" = obsession with other people's lives? I don't quite understand this. So, when someone start thread should run away and never come back? Undecided
To be honest you posted your reason several times on forum already, so I am not sure that I understand why "gambling to win/earn money" become "gambling for fun". I didn't say that it isn't fun to gamble, yeah, thrill excitement, entertainment, fun is part of gambling but I don't think this is final goal - which most people are saying - gambling for fun and entertainment only.
Besides, why do you think I don't know what I am talking about? I am pretty sure I do. Maybe you missed my point. I don't know.What is your goal? Fun or money? I am not sure why you are so angry. You shouldn't be.  Undecided

4357  Other / Meta / Re: Merit & new rank requirements on: February 04, 2018, 04:41:56 PM
I did some research last couple of days.

What I noticed so far is large number of accounts which are posting farming as usual and then all of sudden they post very constructive post just to receive merit, often paraphrasing articles and/or just copying articles here.

On the other hand, it is not really hard to post 50 short lines in off topic or games and rounds and after that to post 10 high quality posts at right place and point them to right people.
I don't think current system will decrease number of farming accounts, spam or account sales and honestly I think 10 merits to rank up to member rank is too low, because people will just create hundred accounts, do exactly what I said above and abuse signature/bounty campaigns, giveaways etc.

For every 10 Smerits received, junior member can easily send 5 Smerits to other account, from that account 2 Smerit to third account and so on - and repeat with many accounts.

So, in my honest opinion this system need little improvement:

RankRequired activityRequired merit
Jr Member300
Member6050
Full Member120150
Sr. Member240300
Hero Member480550
LegendaryRandom in the range 775-10301050

Raising merit requirement by 50 points will make difference and should solve most "merit" issues, account farming, account sales etc(or at least make them so hard that people will give up doing it) and won't affect on number of merits required for full-hero member to rank up because older users will need the same amount of Smerit to rank up(members will need 100 SMP*, full members 150 SMP, senior member 250 SMP and hero 500 SMP) and it will actually force "new users" to write better posts from first day, which isn't the case at the moment.

However, number of Smerits given to all members should remain the same as it is now, but i guess this is irrelevant because we all already received smerits.

*SMP - sMerit points

Merit shouldn't change your view.
I can't read your posts because I don't understand your language. Sorry buddy.

in the race of how to find out what was going on i have stumbled on many things and came the new merit system .. being here since july and my frst almost all posts wer intended to help i also wrote some in off topics as well..
trying to understand the system of merit more.. if i deserve it i will be glad and if u can possubly advise what we need to step forward and make changes.. soul purpose of this forum is to help and share good information i belive.
Most of your posts are one line spam burst in off topic section.

Can “it “succeed without Bitcoin? Possible in theory (if the objectives are twisted accordingly) but very unlikely in practice.

Originally, the blockchain is a new type of database that can be used and maintained without a central administrator.

Unlike a traditional, relational database, the blockchain is administered through a consensus protocol. Therefore, whenever the word “blockchain” is used, we should ask which “blockchain” is in question, i.e what is the protocol ruling said blockchain.

The original Bitcoin blockchain that lives on the global Bitcoin network has proven to be an effective and reliable tool over a period of more than seven years with a 99.99% availabililty.

The properties of the original Bitcoin blockchain can be altered, often deteriorated, by any seemingly inocuous deviation from the original Bitcoin protocol.

For instance, Ethereum deteriorates the security of the blockchain by adding (unnecessary) complexity, Litecoin deteriorates decentralization by shortening the block intervals, proof-of-stake protocols turns the “public” blockchain into a semi-private blockchain by merging two roles (users and miners), etc..

Specifically, the addition of one or more designated “administrators” defeats the purpose of the invention and leads to unclear benefits compared to a traditonal relational database.

So far there is no compelling evidence, other than expensive trials by big banks, that a “permissioned” blockchain is more cost-effective, practical or secure in the context of a private network.

Crucially, the value of tokens on a private blokchain is not a market value but a conventional value aggred upon by the network participants: these tokens are in fact IOUs recognized only by the parties.

The absence of bitcoins as “bearer assets” removes the option to use Bitcoin transactions as a trustless settlement mechanism.

I've seen at least one person already (unknowingly) give merit to a post that was copy and pasted from the internet, but checking every post before you give it merit is just going to be too time consuming and not worth the hassle. It's natural that copy and pasted posts will occasionally get merit but if they keep doing it the likelihood of them getting found out and perma banned just increases along with it so is it really worth the risk? All we can do is keep an eye out for it and copy and pasters usually get caught eventually but people trying to cheat the merit system in this or other ways are just something we're going to have to look out for.
I believe they will start to put sources in such posts, which is something either for press section or shouldn't be allowed in first place unless it is important for discussion/topic and/or someone wants to point something and in that case it should be either under quote or at least italicized. On side note I think I have good idea how to improve merit system, just have to write all things down.

Using real money is easy when played gambling, I think even you are rich or not if you are addicted in playing games with bet you can't stop yourself. In addition playing using money in actual games is easily to do, also you can easily make a tricks on how can you defeat your opponent if you play in actual.
I think you missed....forum.
gambling is a job and not for fun. and strongly agree that gambling is not for everyone. but gambling is only for those of us who have more funds and are ready in the face of defeat. where when we find defeat we do not need a headache and not too concerned with money lost in gambling
Gambling is not a job Roll Eyes.
I don't see anything bad with spending real money to have fun in gambling. Just make sure that money spent is really just your extra and not needed to pay for expenses.
Do you gamble because it is fun to gamble or because there is chance to win money and you see that as a fun? Question is pretty simple, this isn't discussion about is gambling bad or how to be responsible gambler.
