Does anyone know where to find info?

Yes, everyone with the tiniest amount of initiative whatsoever. As that doesn't seem to include you and you failed to find the most active thread on this board, here you are https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0

It is a way to distinguish the people who are too lazy to find the most active thread on this board and read the OP before starting another pointless thread.

Here you go:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0

Edit:
This suggestion from TMAN looks better and better the more threads like this I see.


How about anyone below the rank of full member who uses the word merit gets nuked? could be automated.. would remove 5 billion threads and posts.

Do you have a pair of eyes to go and look for yourself?

Yeah, HE only means you are going to lose your money faster on average. You may choose to play at freebitco.in because you like it for other reasons.

And I think the lottery tickets and reward points they give you when playing the multiply game decrease HE, am I right?

They don't change the house edge in a statistical sense but when making a comparison between sites you need to factor in the giveaways and bonuses. Reward points and lottery tickets have a value, then there is the multiply bonus and free roll bonus as well. Some other sites have jackpots, deposit bonuses etc. Just saying 'don't use this site because it has a high house edge' isn't taking in to account all factors.


I'm still suggesting people don't gamble with deposited money on this site until they reduce the house edge. Because on each roll you're losing almost 4% extra money directly. Those indirect benefits are not very attractive for the amount people pay to a site. In the lottery, unless you win those lottery tickets are waste. Based my experience there are plenty of people still waiting to win at least once since they introduced this lottery system. So those free lottery tickets may not be worth for the 4% amount you pay for each roll.

I'm suggesting that those benefits are direct and that people should take them into account and come to their decision as to where they want to play.
4785  Other / Meta / Re: Should Legendary/Hero/Sr Members be de-ranked? Additional user ranks? on: March 06, 2018, 06:48:40 AM
I don't think it would be reasonable to put users on a monthly probation of earning a certain amount of Merits to stay within the rank, and get demoted if they fail. The Merit system itself is good enough to control the ranks and promotions where you can't get promoted unless you acquire a certain amount of Merits, no matter how much time you spend on the forum.

However, de-ranking old users sound to be a really interesting idea to me. And I think, it would be even better to de-rank users according to the Merits they have earned until now. I mean, if a Hero member is to be de-ranked, and he has 600+ Merits (100+ gained after the Merit distribution) by the time, he should be de-ranked to Full member, as we know that 100 Merits are required to reach Full member rank. All members should be de-ranked accordingly. And from that point, everyone will need to put equal efforts to reach a higher rank. Hence, there will be no one spared by the affects of Merit system.

P.S: satoshi should be excluded from the list of users to be de-ranked.  Tongue Grin

I have a better idea. Anyone not a full member, with less than 30 gained merits and who cannot sign an address with more than 5BTC should be IP banned.

That's about as stupid an idea as all these de ranking ideas, worry about yourself guys

At first I didn't think it would be possible to come up with a de-ranking system that would work but after sleeping on it I think I might have got it.

The forum should hire in addition to moderators a new elite group of Shitpost Scrutineers (The SS for short). It would be their job to monitor all sections of the forum but focus on the spam megathreads and award -1 merit for every shitpost they find. Any account would be instantly demoted to the rank their new merit count earned and if they reached a negative merit count they would be nuked.

I'm with jet Cash on this one. This is a forum to discuss issues related to Bitcoin. If that is what you use the forum for then the following are true.

1) You will earn plenty of merit.
2) Your rank will not have any impact on your ability to use the forum.



Or you could simply implement a minimum merit/month feature to maintain your current rank, if you don't earn a certain amount of merit within the month you drop to the previous user level......

Seriously dude, do you think satoshi's account should get demoted because he doesn't use it anymore?
4788  Other / Meta / Re: [List] Suspected users that are abusing merit 3.0 on: March 05, 2018, 04:29:32 PM
You guys are all really killing it here. I just hope that theymos makes it so that we can see the merit sent/received forever by/to a user. Because anyone that slips thur the cracks, and 120 days later unless someone manually clicked on their posts it would be very hard to see the merit they received

I don't think that's going to happen from reading this post:

Here you go: https://bitcointalk.org/merit.txt.xz

Similar to trust.txt.xz, it'll be updated weekly. It will show only the last 120 days of data; someone else should archive the old ones if you want them.

I am especially interested in analyses of this data which could point to sub-communities where the initial sMerit is exhausted and new sources are necessary, and people who might be good merit sources.

Edit: Note that for a little while I had user_to and user_from as names, but I decided to change it to IDs.

Seems this lottery is fake.
ive never seen any old user (based on id) win any award. list of winners only includes new users

1) That would not mean it is fake.
2) You didn't look very far.

HI Smiley
whether it is possible to withdraw money from the exchange to a bank account.
1. how much money
2. How long does it take to withdraw money to the bank?

Yes, it is possible if you have a verified account. If you need to get your account verified it will likely take about 5 weeks.

https://support.bitfinex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004405873-A-Beginner-s-Guide-to-Bitfinex
Quote
Fiat currencies

To withdraw fiat currencies (USD or Euro), your account first needs to be verified. After verifying your account, simply make your way to the withdrawal page, pick a currency (USD, Euro) and fill in your wire information (name, address and banking details).

The fee structure for withdrawing fiat currencies is 0.1% of the amount withdrawn, with a minimum $20.00. Standard withdrawals are processed within 7 days.

Express fiat withdrawals are processed with 24 hours (or 1 business day), at a fee of 1.00% of the withdrawn amount.

A signed message from an old bitcoin address is a standard procedure to prove that the account belongs to me.
I would not know how else I could verify my account. I can talk to you in German if it helps you (just kidding  Cheesy).
As I said, this account has never changed the owner and will never change the owner!

A signed message is a way of retrieving a hacked account. They can hack your forum account but not your Bitcoin private keys. There is no way of proving account sales one way or the other because the seller can provide everything you need. I'm not accusing you, I'm just pointing out that it's not something that can be proved.
4793  Economy / Reputation / Re: Wrong accusation! Please confirm my signed message. on: March 05, 2018, 10:38:48 AM
I do not even know why I need to explain myself AFTER I've posted an SIGNED and a verified message from an old btc address.  Roll Eyes

Because account sellers sometimes will offer an account with the private key to an old address included. Your account has its email recently changed and has been inactive a long time so it looks suspicious. I'm not saying you definitely did buy the account just that isn't really proof.

In addition to the activity points, merit points (click for more information) are required to advance your ranking.

4795  Other / Meta / Re: Upgraded to SegWit on: March 05, 2018, 09:56:20 AM
Is it possible to sign a message using a SegWit address now that the core has updated to 0.16.0? Last time I researched, in January, I had not found a conclusive answer. What is the best way to prove ownership of an address?
There does not yet appear to be a largely accepted standard for doing this yet. If you want to verify ownership/control over a SegWit address, you will need to be somewhat flexible in what you are willing to accept.
The only major wallet software supporting 'bc1....' addresses that I am aware of is electrum.

Just to clarify this you can sign and verify messages from bech32 addresses* using Electrum but not using Core. As Quickseller said there is no standard yet but Electrum have implemented their own method.

* Messages are actually signed using public and private keys, not addresses.

Out of respect for everyone that follows this thread for information about Bitfinex please stop acting like a five year old child and post in your own thread.
4797  Economy / Services / Re: ★☆★ 777Coin Signature Campaign ★☆★ (Member-Hero Accepted) on: March 05, 2018, 08:43:43 AM
I joined last month but they never added me to the list and never paid either. I havent gotten to remove the signature yet but I will remove it soon.

That means you never joined. The campaign manager would inform you if your application had been accepted, the fact they didn't means that it was rejected.

I'd advise you to stay away until they are explicitly accepting new members.

The campaign is accepting new members and I would advise you understand how things work before commenting.

Go back to the opening post of this thread, open your eyes and read it, follow the instructions to become a Copper Member. Then stop making pointless posts like this to avoid getting banned for spamming.

Tether/Bitinex went from printing $100 million a day to $0 a day over night. No new Tether printed in over a month. Are we supposed to believe demand dropped 100% or is it more likely there was never any demand in the first place?    Grin


Bitfinex and Tether = the same fraudulent company

You already have your own thread for this. Please stop trolling this one.

Please, people, start your own thread about tether. It's going on and on, over dozens of pages of posts now.
I am very aware of tether, its volume, dubious audits and critical voices by now. And also that there is no proof whatsoever that tether or its USD backing is foul.

Please cut it off, I want to read about stuff concerning bitfinex directly here only.

Thank you.

I'd be really interested now to see also how much of that 30% is native Segwit. I'm seeing bech32 in every block I've viewed, and I wasn't expecting that either.

If I have understood this correctly these charts show the amount of BTC stored and the number of UXTOs for each.

Native Segwit (bech32 addresses)
https://p2sh.info/dashboard/db/p2wpkh-statistics?orgId=1&from=now-30d&to=now

Nested Segwit (3 addresses)
https://p2sh.info/dashboard/db/p2wsh-statistics?orgId=1&from=now-30d&to=now

Legacy
https://p2sh.info/dashboard/db/p2sh-statistics?orgId=1&from=now-30d&to=now

Not exactly the same as % of transactions but it does show clearly the switch to Segwit and increase in bech32 in the last few week.

* That's a big if BTW so you might want to check I've got it right.

Edit
Try this one instead, it has been added since I last looked at the site.
