I asked myself the very same questions some time ago; from what's the purpose of having such board to why even bother to tag them in the first place since that board is made specifically for that reason.

Then again, the member who promotes  ponzi on Investor-based games child board might try to conduct the business in some other parts of the forum, so I think that other forum members should be aware of that, therefore tag & flag is warranted.


I do not trust anyone who promotes ponzi scheme, as simple as that. And how else to express untrustworthiness other than leaving feedback? After all, that's what trust system is for.

Even if by some miracle you get consensus from all bounty managers (or at least reputable ones) not to accept bounty campaigns if funds are not escrowed, project owners could simply circumvent that by hosting bounty campaign by themselves, so I don't think that there is an easy solution to all that due nature of altcoin bounty campaigns. The only way that can be done if forum itself get involved in regulating that, but I doubt that will ever happen since even outright scam are not moderated here.

What baffles me more than anything ( even more than the fact that bounty hunters keep getting into those altcoin campaigns while chances of them working for free are pretty high) is that these altcoin campaigns are still a thing here. I mean, bounty hunters follow each other on social media platforms, articles they write are copy/paste material from whitepaper so what is their actual reach among potential investors?

Hey @El duderino_, I think that you somehow forgot to include my prediction, so here it is again

Evo i BestChange ima par slobodnih mjesta, pa navalite. Vjerujem da glavne uvjete svi znate, pogotovo onaj dio da se ne broje domaci postovi, ali eto  kome to nije problem, nije lose prijaviti se, fina lova je u pitanju. A i pravilo od minimalno 10 postova je u biti super, jer ako nemas vremena ili volje, stvarno ne moras forsirati da ispunis punu kvotu.

Since only forum mods can see how reported who, I see no reason not to report post made by some high ranking member in case of  shitpost/offtopic/whatever. I did my share of such reports, and in most cases mods deleted/moved not just posts, but the whole topics.



Agree on this, ignore button is seriously underused here, but that's not just specific for bitcointalk, but on the many other forums as well. People simply like to argue, write nonsense and respond to trolling, no matter whether they are paid for such posts or not. On this forum they do that (especially repeating what's been said before) a bit more than on the others, but what 20 years of forum activity taught me is that its just how it goes on these discussion platforms.

Thing is, even if @CryptopreneurBrainboss insisted on getting tokens escrowed, it probably wouldn't change the outcome; owners of that project would simply find some other bounty manager who wouldn't ask for escrow, and would probably done the job much worse than @CryptopreneurBrainboss. So in the end, bounty hunters would get screwed too. But even if tokens are escrowed, there are still ways to screw bounty hunters, like issuing new ones making old ones completely worthless.  It is true though that manager would protect himself in this case, if he insisted on getting tokens escrowed.

As others have said before me, that's simply a risk of being a bounty hunter, and it's up to them to decide whether or not to join non escrowed bounty campaign.

Decent amount of shitcoins there, but ETC at the 3rd spot really sticks out like a sore thumb (not that BCH at 5th is much better). Isn't that like a half dead project, with nothing really going on and on top of of that they had several successful 51% attack in the last few years?

Whats the catch, as I just can't wrap my head around it.

In case you didn't know, account buying/selling is highly discouraged practice here on the forum which will end up with you getting tagged, and probably even scammed by fake account seller.

I would advise you to rethink all this, and in case you want to remove some newbie restrictions like being able to post images, get Copper membership instead.

That looks like a logical answer, but doesn't necessarily have to be the case.

Let's say that you are just an average guy, working some job for an average salary, can't afford much and spending few hours a day browsing the forum, talking to others and while doing so, getting some pocket money via signature campaign. Then suddenly, through some dumb luck and meme shitcoins pumping, you end up having 10 million dollars. You may wanna travel around the world ( maybe not during this covid19 crap), start your own business etc. With money, you get the chance to do many things that you couldn't afford before and you only have so many hours in one day, meaning you will have to cut some things.

I don't know if has been mentioned (probably not) but Toni Kukoc, one of the best European basketball players of all time will finally be introduced to the NBA Hall of Fame. Several years later than he deserved, but better later than never, as they said.

For those NBA fans who weren't old enough to see him playing, closest comparison I could think of is Jokic, in terms of BBIQ and style of play, which was strongly focused pn playmaking & shooting 3s. Unfortunately, when he came to the NBA he was forced to buff and wrestle under the rim with physically much stronger players. Bull basically ruined him, but despite that he still had pretty good NBA career, winning 3 NBA titles with the Bulls during that golden era. Player with his qualities would probably dominate the NBA today.

Just to show what kind of player Kukoc was; back in 1987 during u-19 World Championship, Yugoslavia beat United States in the group stage, with Kukoc shooting 11/12 for three points. Yugoslavia beat United States once again in the semifinals and eventually won the Champioship, with Kukoc being voted MVP.

It's true that chances of signature campaigns getting removed is very low, but that could still happen, meaning it should have been included in the poll, imho. Even more so as we know that big part of the forum activity is the product of the ongoing signature campaigns so it would be interesting to see how many would vote for that option.

I voted for several "Age, family, life, and/or personal problems prevent me from being active." since it was the closest one to the reason that could get me away from the forum, and its simple boredom. There are forums that I am active for at least ~20 years, and every 4-5 I got fed up and take a break so I guess it could be the main reason for leaving this forum too (at least for some time).

Posto mene osobno zanimaju takve stvari (jebiga volim chartove i brojeve) a @SuperTA koji je to prvi poceo raditi kod nas je u jednom trenutku otisao AWOL,  ja sam to nastavio raditi te je to nekako postala i tradicija, jednom mjesecno objaviti to i vidjeti kako stojimo, a jos se malo i zajebevamo na slackovicev racun

Pocelo je bazicno a sa vremenom  je preraslo u malo veci pregled, koji je mislim ipak malo pomogao da se aktivira ovaj nas lokalni board. Recimo, kad sam tek poceo raditi te preglede te kad sam prvi put napisao da nas board ima manjak merita, neki konsensuz ovdje je bio da ga ima sasvim dovoljno, (iako ga je bilo upola manje nego sada, a i sada ga je malo s obzirom na kvalitetu boarda) pa kad sam pokazao kakva je situacija na ostalim boardovima, to je rezultiralo time da se dkbit98 prijavio za merit sourca, kojeg i dalje cekamo.

Skroz kuzim ekipu kojima je ovo glupost i besmisleno trosenje vremena, al eto mene zabavlja to napravit jednom mjeecno a vjerujem da i nisam jedini koji voli vidjet te brojke. Osim ovog radim i opci pregled lokalnih boardova, koji je postao prilicno popularan te se cesto shera okolo na drugim lokalnim boardovima, a ekipa mi i zna slati PM i pitati kad ce novi.

U biti je tocno i jedno i drugo. Sto si veci rang, povecava se kolicina kampanja u koje mozes uci. Jedan Full Member sigurno nema izbora kao Hero member. A merit pomaze i kod upada na kampanju, jer manageri cesto i to gledaju kao jedan od bitnijih faktora. Ne svi, ali vecina.

Let me check my crystal ball and I'll get back at you

Joke aside, I don't think that we will see anywhere close to the 10k. Going down to 30k wouldn't surprise me at all, but I don't think that its going to fall down pass that. Even if that happens, all that means is that we will have an opportunity to acquire more cheap BTC. Either way, its a win!

So after having Bitcoin Discussion board spammed with topics about Elon, we are on the way to get the same thing in Meta  

Crypto community in general is paying too much attention to Elon and his shenanigans so I am not surprised to see it here too, but I think that's the usual case on Bitcoin Discussion board, to talk about whatever is the hottest subject at the moment. So one day is Elon, another day is something else etc so business as usual I would say.


Bolded part should be done more often. If more people report duplicate topics, I am sure that mods will react and do something about it.

Pa nije tu problem sa placanjem poreza kad se ide deset puta dnevno u istu poslovnicu, nego je mjenjacnica duzna traziti dokumente ako ti isplacuju vise od 15k kuna dnevno ( nek me netko ispravi ako grijesim). Ako ti odes 10 puta u jednom danu, znaci da su ti isplatili 150k kuna bez dokumenata, sto znaci da su oni u prekrsaju. Boli briga inspekciju sto je klijent mijenjao odjecu, mislis da ce im to biti valjano opravdanje ako popuse prijavu?

Ili ako mislis da njih boli briga za to, odi u bitcoinstore 2 puta zaredom u roku od 15 minuta pa svaki put trazi isplatu od 15k kuna te javi jel proslo. Po tvojoj logici skrivanje uopce nije potrebno.

Sta mislis da bi se dogodilo da ovu tvoju taktiku pocne ekipa masovno koristiti, presvlaciti se i ici 5-6 puta dnevno u jednu te istu poslovnicu? Pa nisu ljudi koji rade tamo slijepi, skuziti ce kad tad sta se dogadja te ce firma da zastiti prvenstveno sebe mozda i ukinuti tu mogucnost povlacenja para bez dokumenata, jer se zna da nase inspekcije samo cekaju ovakve prilike, da nekom oderu kazne. A di ces bolje od kripto biznisa.

Jebiga, treba imati neku mjeru, a ne zbog kratkorocnog osobnog interesa sjebat i ostale.

Keep in mind that by revealing scam busting techniques you are also educating others who may not be interested in scam busting, but may use some of things when evaluating whether to invest their money into something/use some service etc. So if all those evidence and techniques are unavailable to an average forum user, we would miss some serious educational opportunity.

For example, during this bull run one friend told me about some "promising" altcoin project, asking whether I am interested. First thing I did was reverse image search as team looked dodgy, and of course team was fake. Now, if other more experienced scambusters didn't reveal some of those techniques I would think that team is legit, as Google didn't find anything. Only here I learned about Yandex being much better for that purpose, which is my first choice now.

Opet malo kasnim sa mjesecnom analizom, ali eto bolje ikad nego nikad

Kao i uvijek do sada, podaci za chartove su preuzeti sa @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboarda

Broj postova  u periodu 01.4.-30.04.

Pad aktivnosti naseg boarda se nastavlja i ovaj mjesec, i to sa 745 napisanih postova u 3/2021 dosli smo na 687 u 4/2021, sto je pad od otprilike 7%. U biti pad i nije velik, ali je konstantan pa se kroz par mjeseci nakupi solidna cifra. Ali dobro, slicna situacija je i na hrpi drugih boardova te na forumu opcenito, tako da nismo mi tu neka iznimka.

Tko zna, nakon sto prodje ovaj bull run i kad ekipa ne bude imala nista pametnije za raditi, mozda se aktivnost opet poveca.




Evo i podsjetnika kako je to izgledalo od 2017 pa do danas. Ako ne brojimo pad u 12/2020 koji u biti nije odraz stvarne situacije te je uzrokovan otvaranjem novih child boardova te micanjem topica, ovo nam je bio najgori mjesec jos od 12/2019 godine kad smo bili usred bear marketa.




Ovako to izgleda kad se usporedimo sa ostalim boardovima, znaci i dalje cisto ok iako bi bilo finije vidjeti nas koji mjesto desnije. Turci i dalje pisu kao nenormalni te su i ovaj mjesec vodeci, a clanovi jednog od najaktivnijih boardova mi prigovaraju sto sirim paniku medju njihovima redovima, dok im clanovi nisu sposobni razumijeti napisano te uzimaju ove chartove kao sveto pismo.

Analiza merita za period 1.4 -30.4.

Unatoc padu broja postova, zadrzali smo slicnu kolicinu podijeljenih merita, tj cak smo imali i solidan rast, sa 96 merita u 3/2021 na 105 u 4.2021. Zvuci malo, ali je ipak rast od ~10%, tako da je to ipak poziitvna vijest. S obzirom na broj postova te opcu manju aktivnost onih koji bi mogli napredovati, taj broj merita uopce i nije toliko los.




A evo i liste onih koji su dijelili i dobivali merit. Jedan od nasih novijih clanova strsi na listi, nadam se da ce ih biti jos u buducnosti. Iako nemamo na raspologanju merita kao neki drugi slicno aktivni lokalni boardovi, mislim da svatko tko se malo potrudi moze napredovati, sto se vidi iz prilozenog.




Uspredba nas i ostalih lokalnih boardova, u kojoj smo tu negdje kao i kad se usporedjujemo po broju postova. Ima i puno boljih od nas, ali bome i ima i dosta gorih, pa cak i medju aktivnijim boardovima. Situacija se nece drasticnije promjeniti dok god ne dobijemo jos jednog merita sourca.

Iskreno me cudi sto theymos ne pregleda situaciju bar jednom godisnje te prilagodi broj merita. Mislim, mozda on to i radi, ali ocigledan je nesrazmjer izmedju pojedinih boardova, pa kad dodas na to da ima vec i solidan broj jakih merit sourceva koji vise uopce nisu aktivni, uopce ne cudi pad merita na forumu opcenito.




Chart koji je tradicionalno najneugodniji za nast, post/merit odnos, na kojem stojimo standardno slabo, ali eto moze se tjesiti da ima i aktivnijih lolalnih boadova koji su gori od nas

Lista aktivnih clanova u periodu 1.4-30.4

Kao i uvijek do sada, koristio sam ninjastic.space od @TryNinja

Za ovaj mjesec sam mislio navesti sve nase aktivne clanove, bez obzira koliko postova napisali, ali sam se neugodno iznendaio kad se broj zaustavio na samo 35. Naravno, ne treba uopce pogadjati tko je prvi na listi

Ma jok, nema sanse nitko sa ovog boarda ako je to glavni kriterij a nekako mislim da bi to mogao biti netko aktivan u ruskom ili turskom boardu. Da sam bookmaker ovako bi nekako stavio kvote:
Rus 1.3
Turcin 2
Ostali 10

Trofo kao gambling ekspert bi vjerojatno rekao da je to losa oklada, da nevalja risk to reward ratio

Iako povisice nisu bile mozda onolike koliko smo ocekivali, ipak je situacija bolja nego prije godinu-godinu i pol. Ako nista, bar se lako nadje mjesto u kampanji koja normalno placa.

Iskreno, nekako mislim da smo se svi ovdje na forumu razmazili sa isplatama, dok je realno i 200 USD mjesecno sasvim pristojna lova za malo piskaranja na forumu, a da ne spominjemo one jace kampanje. Da mi je netko prije par  godina rekao da cu za neko piskaranje na forumu dobivati 2500-3000 kuna mjesecno, rekao bih mu da nije normalan. Pa jebote, osim na ovom aktivan sam na jos par foruma, svake godine tamo napisem tisuce postova totalno besplatno, a ovdje me jos placaju za to. Tako da, naravno da bi isplate mogle biti bolje, ali mislim da ponekad treba malo staviti stvari u perspektivu te mislim da cemo za par godina plakati za ovim ciframa koje sada dobivamo.
