4521  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in-$200 FreeBTC⭐Win Lambo🔥0.2BTC DailyJackpot🏆$32,500 Wager Contest on: March 29, 2020, 03:39:37 PM
Can we multiply this x3 reward points with extra reward points to get it maximum? Usually in casinos when there is promotion it says that no promotion can be on top of other promotion. However, I just wanted to make sure since there was no warning about that one here. I could use my reward points to increase my reward points and simply took x3 times whatever reward point I use and reach to like x15 if I want to, is that possible?

Because if that is possible, I will literally stay awake for 24 hours and just grind the hell out of this in order to reach to that 100k reward points, that seems like the only way I can actually reach, it has been so hard to get there. I want to use the reward points for something but nothing I can afford is actually worth anything so I rather go to 100k.

There's a difference between Free BTC bonus and reward points bonus.

In free BTC bonuses, we have 1000% bonus, 500% bonus, 100% bonus, etc. Since the bonus depends on the base reward, the website says that the bonus only increases the base reward. It means that even if you are giving more than the base reward, only the base reward is multiplied.

In Reward points bonused, we have 100 RP, 50 RP, 25 RP, etc. Bonuses are fixed and they don't depend on the base reward. So, it doesn't matter how many reward points you get in every free roll and there is no need to a warning like free BTC bonus warning.
Therefore, you will get 100 RP for every roll if you redeem 1,200 reward points. It doesn't matter there's a promotion or not.

As it is already said in previous posts, first you should extract your seed phrase from blockchain wallet and import it into Electrum. Then you can use Electrum to extract your private keys.

Note that private keys must always be kept private. You must be the only person in the world who know private keys.
Blockchain wallet is not open source and we don't know whether you are the only person who access those private keys or not. They might have access to your private keys too.

I recommend you to no longer use Blockchain wallet.
Instead of importing your blockchain wallet into Electrum, create a new wallet in Electrum and then send all your bitcoins to the new address Electrum gives you. In this way, you can be sure that you are the only person who access those private keys.


4523  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain Watch Only on: March 28, 2020, 09:38:29 PM
First of all I recommend you to use non-custodial wallets like Electrum instead of blockchain wallet . But if you are going to continue to use blockchain wallet for any reason, I recommend you to backup your seed phrase before anything bad happens (You lose your password, the website become unavailable, etc.)

Select "Security Center" at top of the page.
Scroll down and  click on "backup" button. You will get 12 words which is called seed phrase.
Save them in a safe place. If you can't access your blockchain wallet for any reason in future, you can use these words to access your wallet through other tools.

As o_e_l_e_o said, we don't know if they have access to your seed phrase and private keys. But having the seed-phrase can decrease the risk at least.
4524  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] GOLD - First 100% Liquid Stablecoin Backed by Gold on: March 28, 2020, 08:50:51 PM
Till today, I don't understand why the average people become a victim if there are other alternatives for doing the same investment. The GOLD CFD in Metatrader is a widely used financial tool for trading and smart traders can make money with the increasing value of GOLD. Why believe in the new project and ignore the old methods?
Your question is like asking why we need bitcoin while Fiat is accepted everywhere.

People can use gold tokens to be able to trade it with other cryptocurrencies very fast. You can exchange your bitcoin to Gold tokens when you think bitcoin will fall and exchange them again to bitcoin in few seconds whenever you want.
As I already said, one of another advantages of having gold in form of a cryptocurrency is that you won't have to pass identity verification. Your privacy is protected and you won't risk to give your personal documents to third parties.
4525  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: JAXX liberty WALLET on: March 28, 2020, 07:57:35 PM
this is what i want to do, change my wallet, but first i must transfer my coins from jaxx to another wallet where the receiver adress is not a BC1.............. one
As mentioned by TryNinja, in order to have addresses start with 1, you should select "Legacy" when you are creating your wallet.

But instead of sending your coins to a legacy address (an address which starts with 1) in Electrum and then sending them to a Segwit address (an address which starts with bc1), you can import your jaxx wallet into Electrum and then send them to the segwit address.

If you do so, you will spend less fee. Because you won't have to make a transaction to send your coins from Jaxx to Electrum.

First, you need to backup your seed phrase in Jaxx wallet. Below is the guide.
How can I get my 12-word Backup Phrase?

After you backup your seed phrase, go to Electrum. Instead of selecting "Create a new seed" select "I already have a seed". Then enter the seed-phrase you extracted from Jaxx wallet.
In this way, you will access your coins without any need to make an extra transaction.

Yes, he has been banned. https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=game-protect
The modlog shows no info about the ban so it wasn't done in the last few days. Maybe we will see a thread by him in Meta complaining about the ban.

Game-protect was banned on March 3.

Perm-ban, right? And temp-bans are not shown on BPIP?
Yes.
BPIP extracts all data from modlog.
As modlog only shows permanent bans, BPIP has no info about temporary bans.
4527  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin Block confirmations, Why do they lag at times? on: March 27, 2020, 10:06:26 PM
Each block has a proof of work problem.
Miners compete with each other to find the solution of this mathematical problem. (the solution is called hash).

Sometimes, a miner can find the solution (the hash) in few seconds. And sometimes, it takes more than an hour until a miner finds the solution.

Why we say the confirmation time is 10 minutes?
 
That's only in theory.

After every 2016 blocks the difficulty is adjusted. In simple words, when blocks are mined in more than 10 minutes, that mathematical problem becomes easier and when blocks are mined in lower than 10 minutes, that mathematical problem becomes more difficult. This adjustment is done every 2016 blocks.
When total hash power of miners increases, difficulty needs to increase. When total hash power of miners decreases, the difficulty needs to decrease.
These adjustments are done, so the average confirmation time is close to 10 minutes as much as possible. Even the average confirmation time is not exactly 10 minutes. Because the total hash power is always changing.

If that post has been deleted by moderators, it should be marked as good. I guess those posts have been deleted by the poster.
You can visit modlog to check whether the post has been deleted by moderators or the poster.
If a post is deleted by moderators, it should be listed in modlog. Simply, Ctrl+F and search for ID of the poster.


According to following post made by Halab, if a report is handled and the post is deleted, all other reports for that post are also deleted and they all are marked as good.

I do not know how mods see reports for one post which is reported let's say 20 times?
In this case, we have 20 reports.

Quote
Do one handled report for such post solve all other reports?
If the solution is to delete the reported post, yes all 20 reports are deleted.
If the solution is to move a topic, the mod must click 20 times on 'handled' after moving the topic.
If the 20 reports are considered bad, the mod must click on 'bad' 20 times.

According to what Halab said, only if the report is bad, moderators should click on "Bad" for all reports. So, when a report is good, all reports are marked as good automatically.

Using Loyce.club, I could find the deleted post.

http://loyce.club/archive/posts/5409/54096393.html

I think the reason is that you had made two posts in a row.

You had made a post on 21:39:04 (CET), March 25
Then you made another post in a row on 02:47:15 (CET), March 26
Moderators deleted the first post.

Making multiple posts in a row is against the rules.

A same thing is happening in ILCOIN ANN thread [1] and Crybet ANN thread [2].

[1] Fake volume in ILCOIN ANN thread
[2] 15 accounts hired for bumping the Crybet announcement thread?

In my opinion, such topics should be locked. But since it's difficult to prove that they are using bumping services, moderators don't do this.

I created a topic to suggest locking such topics. (Visit the link below)
Fake volume in ANN threads. What's the policy against them?
4533  Other / Meta / Re: Fake volume in ANN threads. What's the policy against them? on: March 26, 2020, 05:46:17 PM
Since I was the one who opened the ANN almost a year ago, I'm locking it. It's the least I can do to stop this spam
Thank you.
So one of best solutions (which I didn't do that) was to send a personal message to you.
But unfortunately that's doesn't always work. ANN threads are usually created by newbies who become inactive after a while. 
4534  Other / Meta / Re: Fake volume in ANN threads. What's the policy against them? on: March 26, 2020, 05:36:11 PM
It mostly causes temp babe on participants who spam and bump. If there is no clear evidence of bump service, there will be no nuke  punishment. I also remember nuke is only for newbies (someone mentioned it but I am not sure because I have never read a rule about nuke.).

According to a post by Halab, only newbies who have low activity can be nuked.
Below is the post made by Halab.

Global mods and mods can nuke a newbie, but this newbie has to have a low activity (25-35, I don't have the exact number in mind).



Report main thread wouldn't work I there is no enough evidence against OP that they hired bumping service. I have remember similar case and I had reported one by one users who are bumping thread with spammy reply. Their post had deleted without any punishments. I think moderators have some strategy to nuke or ban bumping spammer. They wouldn't ban just for single spam reply. So only solution is report one by one if you don't have sufficient evidence about bought bumping services.
That won't solve the problem even if I report all posts one by one. Even if they are banned, they will create a new one. If they ban for ban evasion, they will create another one again and again.
Generally you are right. As long as there is no strong proof, there is no solution. Moderators cannot lock a topic based on something that is not proven.  



Yeah, from what I know, topics are not locked or nuked for that. In order for topics to get deleted, you would need some hard proof, like screenshot or link  of  giveaway that is offering reward for posting in threads, or something similar to that.
That's usually impossible.
Everyone check those ANN threads understand that there are being bumped by a third party or their own accounts. But they always do this off-forum and they know that no one can prove they have hired a bumping service.
As you said, the only solution is to report and report.

So, my conclusion is that we can do nothing against them. We can only report their posts so they get deleted. They will continue to post until they find it useless.

A few days ago sujonali1819 made a post in Reputation board regarding accounts hired for bumping Crybet ANN thread. (Visit the link below)
15 accounts hired for bumping the Crybet announcement thread?

I also made a similar topic about another bumping group making fake volume in ILCOIN ANN thread (Visit the link below)
Fake volume in ILCOIN ANN thread

There are probably more topics and more bumping groups.

Both of these bumping groups have also been active in bumping other threads before making posts for their current projects. (Check their post history)
Some accounts have been active for more than two years without any problem.

I know with implementing new bumping system, those posts cannot bump the topic. But even the topic is in 10th page of the board, there will be some newbies think that the project is popular and trustworthy.
Some people might visit the ANN thread through the link in the website of project and doesn't matter whether the topic is in first page or 10th page.

I reported both topics and asked moderators to lock the topic.
My reports are still unhandled and I feel they will remain unhandled forever.

I think those topics haven't been locked because there is no strong proof that the volume is fake.
This is exactly why those spammers continue to spam. They know that no one can prove that they are linked together or they are paid to posts.
Even if they are banned, they can create new accounts and continue to post.

Don't we need a strict policy against them?

Shouldn't moderators trash Crybet ANN thread and ILCOIN ANN thread or lock them at least?

I made a google search
I searched for "Bitcointalk bumping service" and excluded bitcointalk.org results.

There are many services offering bumping bitcointalk ANN threads. They claim that they have several bitcointalk accounts. Shouldn't we stop them? (Edit: I mean stopping them by locking topics)

Is anyone on this thread aware of Goldmoney and that large company used to allow the transfer of gold grams between users.  

I had never heard of them. But I just searched for them through Google and visited their website.
In my opinion, there isn't any big advantage in buying gold through such websites.

One of the biggest advantages of Digital Gold over them is lack of identity verification.
I will never trust such websites with my personal documents.

Back a bit about freebitcoin, it would be great if they continued to expand their platform into sports betting  Cheesy Just a suggestion  Cheesy Sports betting always gets people interested, they can take advantage of it

There will probably be some developments in sport betting section.
Below is the post TheQuin made about two months ago.

We are indeed looking to add fixed-odds sports betting this year. It won't be a white-label, we'll integrate a 3rd party odds feed with our own front end.

With adding fixed-odds sport betting, I expect them to have more events in their website.

That post has been made before theymos post. So I don't think that's related to Stedsm case.
Theymos unbanned users after that.

Bitcasino had a 4-week giveaway. In the first week they gave away Litecoin, in the second week, they gave away TRON, in the third week, they gave away Ethereum and in the fouth week, they gave away bitcoin.
Mprep excluded those who had participated only in the fourth week.

I guess that theymos has unbanned users who had participated in http://loyce.club/archive/topics/523/5234241.html
As some users had participated in both of giveaways, some of users of the second list have been unbanned too.
Those who had participated only in http://loyce.club/archive/topics/521/5215256.html haven't been unbanned.
