Looks like Last of the V8s is trying to emulate Peloso: (Hot on the heels of giving me distrust simply for asking him what his thoughts were in wanting to be a merit font).  Not very trustworthy behaviour.

"Giving you distrust"... what does that mean? If you mean he added you to his exclusions list, he did that before you confronted him about it in his merit source application thread.  Roll Eyes

What's so hard to understand about creating and keeping your own private keys to all your Bitcoin addresses? I guess some people just have a fetish about devices.

"Paper" wallets FTW.

And +1 WOmerit.

A paper wallet generated and printed offline is infinitely safer than any online wallet or hardware device. I mean, of course you need good ink and paper. And I would store it in a plastic sleeve of some sort. But it will never run the risk of being hacked or corrupted.

Does playing 4D chess require lying, defrauding, swindling, doctoring documents, and impostoring? Because he's losing, and no one is playing his game.

obviously he is playing against himself. thats why he thinks he can win. as he is a half wit, one half will win.. right?

WTF!

I decided to take another try at trying to find out the history behind that 80000BTC dormant account tracing back some of the inputs.... and... Does that address belong to the EFF?!?!

that would be cool

I doubt it though, usually good stuff like that doesn't actually happen.

Well, I will try to expose my steps at tracing it back to reach my conclusion and let's see where is the mistake I (probably) made:

- Address with a balance of 80000 BTC that hasn't moved since march 2011: 1FeexV6bAHb8ybZjqQMjJrcCrHGW9sb6uF

- Addresses that funded that balance in one single tx at 2011-03-01:

I now assume all that addresses belong the same person. I guess this is not mistake.

Ok, now look at the last of those addresses:    1EC7bX9TucqzKL4aCRQb5UhsgdxdSn2w4z

It was funded with 6679BTC  on 2010-12-25. Thats its only funding, so again we assume all the funding addresses belong to the same individual. Maybe the mistake is here.

This are the funding addresses:

1Gq6YyhbJpeJyLewQ1kRuMS6cXkuHZGjyt

Well, we can assume all that addresses for sure belong to the same "person" even if it not the same of the 1EC7bX9TucqzKL4aCRQb5UhsgdxdSn2w4z one.

The amount is around $1700 at the time.

And... here is the interesting point... who is this "person"?

Well 1MCwBbhNGp5hRm5rC1Aims2YFRe2SXPYKt (cgt ) is the old EFF donations addresses. It is assumed all the other also belong to them.

So..... Either the 80000BTC belongs to the EFF too.... or to "someone" the EFF would donate $1700 on 25 december 2010. Wait a min.... Maybe Wikileaks/Assange?!?!?

Close... MtGOX

https://www.reddit.com/r/mtgoxinsolvency/comments/7q9kar/i_found_79k_of_stolen_mtgox_coins/

Your post is what comes up in Google when searching for addresses related to the MtGOX hack in 2011.

Reading through the email convos listed in court documents, Jed McCaleb was pretty furious with Karpeles all the way back toward the end of 2011. Amazing that Karpeles hung around there for an entire 2 years afterward.

Ooh. A new challenger enters.

Do you believe everything Mark "falsifying data to inflate Mt. Gox’s holdings by $33.5 million" Karpeles tells you?

Do you trust his expertise gained from years of running an amateur-hour-shitshow-exchange so easily hacked?

Yes. Not only do I believe every Mark Karpeles has ever said, I believe everything that has ever been written on the internet as a general rule of thumb.  Roll Eyes

Ok but really: let's delve a bit into the situation, just for fun.

The address in question: 1FeexV6bAHb8ybZjqQMjJrcCrHGW9sb6uF

has been the subject of much scrutiny for several years.

It was noticeably mentioned in a court document in a lawsuit by Jed McCaleb:

https://www.reddit.com/r/mtgoxinsolvency/comments/7q9kar/i_found_79k_of_stolen_mtgox_coins/

The address was empty prior to its receipt of the stolen GOX coins. The transaction took place on March 1st, 2011:

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/e67a0550848b7932d7796aeea16ab0e48a5cfe81c4e8cca2c5b03e0416850114

It was mentioned in the chat log between Karpeles and McCaleb on the day that the attack happened, waaay before Wright claimed ownership of it or even began his whole Faketoshi saga. Its been associated with MtGOX for years.

What's more likely? Karpeles was lying to McCaleb, who never questioned his findings, or that Faketoshi got caught in yet another lie?

I think usually what happened in those cases (if not always) is that the guy had the activity and post requirement pre-merit system, then after he got his 1,000 merits, deleted a bunch of posts which made him move back to Hero Member rank. Either that or the mods deleted a bunch of his posts. Or a combination thereof.

4510  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Digital Collectibles: Topps launches Garbage Pail Kids NFTs on WAX on: June 12, 2020, 01:16:08 PM
Just to add a bit here:
WAX is not a clone of EOS. EOS, WAX, and quite a few other chains are built on the EOSIO protocol. Unfortunately, only EOS took the name and fame and now people keep mixing it up.  Grin
WAX is geared towards e-commerce, mostly focusing on no-coiner adoption. As they did with this GPK release using their cloud wallet that allows users to interact with smart contracts without handling keys or anything.

OK I think I get it a little better now. But just to clarify, WAX's blockchain is completely separate from that of EOS's, correct? I didn't know anything about EOS before learning about WAX. I still don't understand why people need EOS for anything. At least WAX has a functional use case. EOS has a lot of casino dapps, and that's fine, but not really that interesting IMHO.

Logging on to the Toppsgpk website for the first time, it was the most nocoiner-ready platform for blockchain stuff that I'd ever seen. It's great that they and the Wax Cloud Wallet site can introduce non-crypto people to crypto using baby steps. That's what it's going to take to onboard the old-school physical collectibles types.

I reported those two threads from my post, first one has been deleted. For some reason nothing happened yet to the other one, not deleted or locked so far. Reported that topic you shared as well (and posts) so let's see what happens.

The thread is down to 2 and 1/2 pages now -- most of the spam has been removed. Its an awful shitcoin with no redeeming features but not a scam. From the quote you posted from theymos, it sounds like locking the topic only applies to threads specifically pertaining to a giveaway.

Also, it could be argued that because the dev is only rewarding people for making "constructive posts", its a bit better than "insubstantial posts"... IDK... In any event, absolutely nobody joined, could be because of my threats to tag their accounts, LOL.

I seem to have noticed a bias in betting odds for US presidential elections, which I feel is the result of international "ignorant voting influence."

If you strongly believe that betting odds are "biased" then you should capitalize on them by betting against the bias.

However here, maybe the dynamics is different. To check this, I went to the Las Vegas betting odds, figuring that LV odds were more US-centric.

https://lasvegassportsbetting.com/2020-US-Presidential-Election-Las-Vegas-Odds_P14398.html

Here you can see a trend in which Biden did seem to have an advantage, but that has now vanished.

Actually the reverse is true -- Biden has been the underdog up until this week. Its the first week his odds switched from a + to a -. This means betting on him pays less than 2:1, whereas it pays exactly 2:1 to bet on Trump.

For whatever reason, a bet on Biden in February would have yielded 20:1 odds -- now they are less than 2:1; that's quite a shift!

I think Trump was 500:1 at one point during the last election cycle.

Okay. What evidence do you have that ActBlue is illegally funneling money from their charity arm to their PAC?

I suppose it only matters when Republicans do it?

Again, the ActBlue Charities money doesn't go to the ActBlue PAC. The two divisions have different sets of accounts. Again, you linked the OpenSecrets page for the ActBlue PAC which is a separate division of ActBlue that has nothing to do with the BLM donations. The BLM donations go to the BLM Foundation via ActBlue Charities. They do not go to the PAC. The two are separate divisions of the same organization.

ActBlue is divided into 3 different components. The BLM website sends its money to ActBlue Charities, not ActBlue PAC.

I find this to be quite sensible. However, my question to you is, do you really think Floyd needed a knee to the neck for 8 minutes after falling to the ground while handcuffed? Was he really fighting the cops at that point?

 NO.  When the fight stops, the force stops. But you always need to be ready to re-engage. As they often start fighting again after a break.

But you don't know if that knee applied downward pressure, or was just there as a reminder to Floyd that he shouldn't try to get up.

With excited delirium, the rule is 'contain and restrain' til EMS arrives and can sedate.

I highly doubt Floyd "fell to the ground while handcuffed."  More likely that he fought and resisted until the cops took him to the ground. Taking a combative criminal to the ground is standard control techniques. Once on the ground, they needed to control him til EMS arrived.

In the security camera footage, it doesn't like he is being at all combative, but its hard to say for sure why he went to the ground here (watch this video from about 5:20 until the end):

https://youtu.be/VDd5GlrgvsE?t=320

I don't think he ever got back up off the ground after this, but I could be mistaken.

In any case, I appreciate your sensible viewpoints and its good to get some insight into the matter that the rest of us don't necessarily consider.

There are already 3 easy to follow solutions that everyone involved in this incident failed to follow:
1. cops failed to follow the rules taught for positional asphyxiation (sit em up, or put em on their side)
2  criminal failed to follow the Nancy Reagan rule, don't to drugs.
3 criminal failed to follow the rule of common sense, don't fight the cops.


Apparently the cops and criminals in Minneapolis are all too stupid to figure this out.

Then, if you are ready for even more education, go to the Black Lives Matter website.  Click on the donate button.  You'll be redirected to ActBlue who will accept your donation. Then take a look at where ActBlue sends the money. ( a simple google search reveals everything).

Not quite. The money goes to ActBlue Charities which gives solely to 501(c)(3) non-profits. ActBlue PAC is the PAC and does not receive donations from BLM.

ActBlue Charities is a pass-through organization created to facilitate donations to left-of-center 501(c)(3) nonprofits. It is the 501(c)(3) affiliate of the 501(c)(4) nonprofit ActBlue Civics and 527 political action committee ActBlue.

ActBlue is a fundraising platform composed of three separate entities that was created to service left-wing nonprofits and political action committees. ActBlue Charities was formed in 2015 as a complementary platform to the liberal fundraising platform ActBlue designed to provide fundraising services to organizations organized as public charities.

If the money collected by ActBlue Charities was found to be going to ActBlue PAC, then yes, that would be a violation of campaign finance laws.

This one went wrong, as they can easily do.

That's the problem. Solutions need to be found in order to lessen the potential for things to go wrong so easily.

So what happens when a person misses a week or more.

If some one is on the list 60 days with a 10 he would have 600.

so do you do. 600/60 = 10.  or 600/68 =   8.82

The spreadsheet data is by week, and the tally counted towards the average skips the blank fields (weeks which they were absent from DT1).

Every account has varying amounts of weeks in which they were on DT1, which are used to calculate the average.


Also, since a few accounts skew the average quite heavily, I decided to calculate the median, which is 5.
