Paper wallets are fine, as long as you know what you're doing. That includes knowing that almost all websites that offer paper wallets will scam you. Even when you use them offline, they can produce a compromised private key if the source is compromised.

I never caught that part, while I've quoted Xynerise's post many times.

He didn't say it like that

It's my interpretation of theymos' post:

Part of the reason I created that thread was to prove not many good posts don't get the Merit they deserve, but another part of the reason was to actually find those users who deserve it.

On-chain morning coffee is a thing of the past, unfortunately. But you can still pay on-chain when you order an espresso machine It's all about making the payment worth the fee, and $0.50 fee per coffee adds up quickly. I'm much more worried that opening a LN-channel will be too expensive too at some point. Even though I'm not against custodial LN, I wouldn't want that to be the only viable option. If it costs 0.001 BTC to open a LN channel (that's how expensive a transaction was at the peak in 2017), you need to open a very large channel to be worth it.

In a way, Bitcoin has always been a niche payment system

That looks okay. See this post for the differences:

Did you try to create a New Wallet in Electrum? File > New > Next > Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys > "your private key"?

Good point. As far as I know, there haven't been any valid accusations so far.

At least this confirms his escrow service is still active.

From what I've seen over the years, getting rid of obvious spam makes some of the spammers switch to something that's much harder to detect.
When plagiarism got busted, they switched to a homograph attack. When that was made impossible (by theymos), they switched to word spinners. Now it's AI-spam. The main problem is: it becomes less and less obvious what's spam, and more time consuming to detect.

Marketing has always worked like that. Many specialized shops sell items at several times the price of other shops, but people still buy them. I'm not judging them, it's totally fine. Supply and demand is a free market, and people love to buy "the idea".

Why waste time clicking individual posts, if you can Ignore everything from that user with one click?
If you want to share responsibility of hiding posts, it may be better to bring back the glowing Ignore button. It was removed before I joined, and I guess it was abused, but it might work in combination with custom Trust lists.

It's more like 5000 posts per day, and not all of them are shitposts. But, instead of automatically hiding them, why not hook up with MindlessElectron to remove them

If it's redundant, why not report it to be deleted?

If it takes 10 or more "hits" to hide a post, I'm not going to waste my time tagging them. It would be much better if it's linked to the Trust list, so based on the user's who's judgement you trust already.
Barely any user has more than 10 negative tags, it's very unlikely a single post will reach that much. Plus, it means at least 10 people have to actually read a redundant post, which is a massive waste of time.

In my experience, human interaction is replaced by a cheaper system. Some companies now have a computerized phone menu when you call them, and many of the options lead to a dead end where you don't get to talk to a human. It's cheaper, but not helpful.

To clear his conscience?

That's a lot of money just to make it look nice. It's not as if you can use it to show off, so I'd rather go for a much cheaper hammer and letters.
Worse than the price is that the seller knows exactly what you need it for, unlike when you buy tools at a hardware store.

They should be confirmed by now, mempool is empty for the first time in almost 2 months (ignore the drop on April 10, I think Johoe's mempool got reset).
My transaction that I created on March 4 just got confirmed! I guess this means the ordinal spammers gave up their little ponzi.

You're not making any sense. And a quick look at your post history just convinced me it's a waste of time trying to help you.

Thanks again for your flawless timing!

I don't know if Newbie nani culi is banned already, but he should be:

As much as I like Bitcoin, I think just using it in a movie fits better than making the entire movie revolve around it. I remember watching The Blacklist, where the bad guys were demanding ransom in Bitcoin, but the goodies turned the tables and made their own demand in Bitcoin. It's just a short gimmick, but enough to remind a large audience that Bitcoin exists.

OP has discovered how to create New topics this month, and I bet he's hoping to earn Merit. So far, the only Merit he got was for advertising someone else's topic where it doesn't belong. It got him a spot on my ignore list.

On-topic: New boards are usually only created when there's a lot of posts on other boards that can be moved there.

How many of those members have a genuine question, and how many of them are just posting to either get Merit or at least Activity? The user you took as an example in your OP (cafter) is opening topics at least 10 times faster than me, and I doubt he's really interested in the answer. If he was, he would have just Googled it. It's not as if the answers are hard to find.

Think of it this way: first, personal human interaction was replaced by electronic communication, and now we risk ending up only talking to electronics. Call me old-fashioned, but I don't like it. If I want to interact with a computer, I'll use a Search Engine or spambot myself.

That would be against one of these forum rules:
Depending on how you're planning to do it, those rules cover it. It's better to report those posts.

I've whitelisted it, because you (NotATether) don't need those limitations. But that doesn't mean I like it

J.A.R.V.I.S is on my ignore list already. I can't get myself to read this generic AI crap. It uses far too many words to tell nothing I didn't know yet.
