I am glad to see that Indonesian local board is slowly recovering after several bad months. When I first started doing these overviews Indonesian board was one of the most active, both post  and merit wise and out of sudden, your numbers dropped significantly, for whatever reason.


It is true that Indonesian board has one of the lowest merit.post ratio among all local boards while year ago it was completely opposite, your ratio was several times higher than it is now. For an example, just look at the merit/post ratio for March 2020 (first post of this thread) while Indonesian board had similar post count as it had last month. It is a huge decrease, going from 0.7 to 0.14.





That's the question only you and members of your local  board can answer as only you knows what's the posting quality there and how many good posts get unmerited etc. If you think that's the case, member of your board can apply to become merit source, or you can report good under merited/unmerited posts to Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source.

Iskreno, mladji clan koji nije vec godinama na nekom drugom forumu pa nije naucio na ovaj nacin komunikacije, nema sta puno naci na bitcointalku jer se velika vecina stvari u kripto svijetu dogadja mimo foruma, pogotovo ovaj DeFi i NFT hype koji privlaci najvise ljudi. Osim ako mu nije cilj upasti u neku sig kampanju pa tako zaraditi koji satoshi.

Osim na ovom ja sam aktivan na jos par foruma i slicna prica je svuda, ovakav nacin komunikacije nazalost polako umire.

Ma nema straha od toga. Ovi stariji ce me ispraviti ako grijesim ali sumnjam da je bilo slucajeva ukidanja lokalnih boardova. Pa jos su zivi oni na kojima se godisnje napise par desetaka poruka tako da nema straha za nas pa makar aktivnost jos doddatno pala.


Pa da, mislim da nece stetiti da ta tema bude otvorena bez obzira koliko se ljudi budu cesto prijavljivali. Osim ako je @Daniel91 tlaka cuvat merit za slucaj da se netko prijavi.

Evo i mjesecne analize, sa malim zakasnjenjem jer u zadnje vrijeme imam dosta nekih stvari sa strane pa vise nemam vremena za forum kao prije.

Podaci uz pomoc kojih sam napravio chartove te screenshotovi su preuzeti sa  @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboarda. Tko zeli gledati detalje, nek baci oko na taj tool.

Broj postova  u periodu 01.2-28.2

U navedenom razdoblju u nasem boardu napisano je 730 postova sto znaci da se nazalost trend smanjivanja aktivnosti nastavlja, unatoc bull runu. Iskreno mislim da ce kako vrijeme ide forum sve vise gubiti na relevantnosti. Em sto novije generacije nisu vise generalno sklone forumima, em sto razvikani projekti vise uopce ne fermaju forum ni 1%. Nekad je i Vitalik bio aktivan ovdje i promovirao svoj projekt, a sada ovim novima tipa Polkadot brijem da ni ne pada na pamet uopce dolaziti ovdje.

Ali unatoc svemu, ipak je ovo forum koji je napravio Satoshi te gdje je i sam bio aktivan tako da ce uvijek imati svoj znacaj.



A ovako se to kretalo kroz mjesece. Onaj pad u 12/2020 treba ignorirati jer je uzrokovan obrisanim postovima i premjestajima tema




Usporedba svih lokalnih boardova. Opet Turci predvode listu, a za njima standardno Rusi i Njemci. Unatoc padu mi se i dalje solidno drzimo

Analiza merita za period 1.2 -28.2

U navedenom razdoblju kod nas je podijeljeno samo 52 merita sto je nas daleko najlosiji rezultat u zadnje vrijeme, ovoliko malo merita nije podijeljeno jos od 9/2019. Iskreno slabiji rezultat ni ne cudi jer je stvarno bilo manje tih kvalitetnijih postova u koje je ulozeno nesto truda ali nekako ipak nisam ocekivao da ce pad biti ovako veliki.

@Daniel91 znam da nije bilo previse interesa u onoj tvojoj temi u zadnje verijeme te si ju zato odlucio zatvoriti, ali nadam se da ces se predomisliti i opet ju otvoriti. Imamo i dalje ponekog membera koji bi sigurno bio zainteresiran da ponekad shera svoj post tako da mislim da bi tvoja tema i dalje bila od pomoci. Sjecam se da je meni osobno jako pomgla, a kasnije sam prestao prijavljivati kad sam presao 1000 merita jer nisam htio zakidati one kojima je stvarno potreban merit za napredovanje.



A evo i liste onih koji su dali i poslali merit, koja naravno takodjer izgleda "mrsavije" neg inace




Kad se usporedimo sa ostalim boardovima, ne cudi da smo opet u donjem dijelu ljestvice, a da nisam ukljucio i ove koji nemaju svoj loklani board bili bi na prakticki samom dnu. Listu kao i uvijek predvode standardna imena, nema tu nekog iznenadjenja, iako je i tamo generalno pad podijeljenih merita.




I za kraj merit/post ratio chart, na kojem ocekivano imamo najgori rezultat od kada ja radim ove preglede. Nadam se da ce ovaj mjesec biti bolji po tom pitanju

Let me check my crystal ball :p

Joke aside, I don't really think that we will see bitcoin again at $10,000 any time soon, or ever for that matter. To go down from these levels (~60,000) to $10,000 it would mean more than 80 correction, so something like we saw back in the early 2018. Situation is different now, big names are now buying BTC so I don't expect panic selling like before even when it goes down. Another reason why I don't see 10,000 happening is because 60,000 is definitely not the top of the bull cycle. So more we go up, less chances to see BTC at $10,000. I personally don' think that BTC goes below 20k.

The only way for us to see 10k BTC ever again is imho some major fuck up or some widespread ban on everything BTC related.

Yep, it is fake wallet, different logo doesn't mean that they are not fake. Just look at the screenshot below, on the left its the MEW wallet description that you shared and on the right side it's the original. They are obviously impersonating the original wallet, even claiming that its "Ethereum's original and most trusted wallet" while we know that's obviously not true and that they are lying.I reported the fake app and will be added to the list.




Good find by the way as this fake wallet has more than 10,000 downloads.

Four days passed and ANN thread is still locked meaning no answer form Polkasocial team. From my experience, them ignoring this completely means only one thing; team is completely fake, and not just the founder photo, but the rest too. No legit project would wait for so long to answer to these accusations. I mean, how hard is to make one lousy video and remove all doubt?

Worst of all, seems like people are buying those tokens, if those are legit investors on Telegram asking about token distribution, but  sometimes scammers fake that too in order to attract legit ones.

What a coincidence, another person that was allegedly scammed by MyCryptoMixer for the exactly same amount  as another user reported few weeks ago.

Let's say for a second that it really happened the way you described it; why on earth would you send such a big amount of BTC to the service that you never used before? Why not start with smaller amounts first?

Really looking forward you providing some evidence like letter of guarantee.

You are right, Croatia is not in the Euro zone yet ( we are in EU though) but I am currently visiting one Eurozone country and that's where I tried using ATM for the first time. But from what I heard about conversion rate from some people that tried using card with ATM in Croatia, exchange rate was pretty good so it seems like Binance is not trying to rip off people so I will continue to do that (if needed) when i get back to Croatia.


Glad to hear everything working perfectly, it was same for me. No preparation, no procedures, I literally started using card half an hour after i got it and since then no issues whatsoever. I don't see why it shouldn't work with Google Play too.


Haha it does look cool indeed! They must have thought "who is that big shot"  

Are you absolutely sure that it happened? Maybe you just remembered wrong how much merit you had. Imho that is more likely than getting your merit removed.

Thing is, merit removal is extremely rare and  and even when that happens as far as I know it  should be visible on your merit transaction history and there is no sign of that.

Welcome!


I honestly had no issues whatsoever with Binance card for now. I've tried buying stuff online, using it at the supermarket and just the other day I used it for the first time to take some money out of the ATM and it worked like a charm. This ATM thing was the best part, as it turns out that it is the cheapest way I know to cash out. All I had to pay was 2.5 euro fee at the ATM and that's about it. Afaik, daily limit is 290 euro so it may take a while if you are cashing out bigger amount of money, but  for sure beats BTC ATM (that was my standard way of cashing out ) and its ~6% fee.

All in all, I am very satisfied and it became my go-to card for daily use.


Yeah that would be a bit too much I think, to expect cashback on ATM withdrawals.

All those that understand Croatian/Serbian shouldn't have any doubt whether Lauda is a male or female. Among other things, we have  genders for verbs in past tense and adjectives. In his posts made in Croatian board,  Lauda always used masculine gender. I remember some time ago I was so bored that I actually tried to find posts where he used feminine gender, to no avail.

Just an example from one of his posts. Adjectives and verbs are bolded, all masculine gender.



This is how it would look like if it was written using feminine gender




Maybe Lauda wanted to hide his gender right from the beginning, but somehow I think that he had just a bit of fun with people guessing it because of his name ends with an "a" or whatever else started all that, even though when I heard his name for the first time it didn't sound as a female name since it reminded me of a famous Austrian F1 driver Niki Lauda.

First of all, as you can see, this board is called "Bitcoin Discussion" so I don't think that this is appropriate board to talk about Ethereum and why it is terrible or not etc. You can move your topic by clicking "move topic" that is in the bottom left of your screen. Most appropriate place for this would be "Altcoin Discussion". Better do it yourself as if you don't, someone will probably report it so it may even end up being deleted.

Regarding the video, since its more than 40 minutes long, I need some time to watch it first before making any judgment.

If you want to risk more, then you can diversify between BTC and ETH but if you want to play if safe, just go all in on BTC. As simple as that.

Regarding that part on buying the dips, since I guess that you are new to all this, timing the market will be very hard for you, and possibly even frustrating (like being upset because you bought and right after that price went lower). What I would suggest you is to buy BTC/ETH once in a few weeks, preferably at the same date and keep on buying like that,so some sort of collar cost average method.

You are absolutely right, there was an error in that list of most active users in German local board! While copy/pasting from ninjastic.space I made a mistake and somehow replaced your link with another user. It's been sorted now and thanks for letting me know!

BestChange ima 3 slobodna mjesta. Navali narode i sretno onima koji se prijave!

Exactly. As I said before, it's perfectly legit to decide staying anonymous for whatever reason (even though I would personally never invest in such projects that asks money from people while not willing to reveal their identity),  but you can't have it both ways, and that's something that many try to do. And what's even funny, they like to use Satoshi as an example.

They all know that if they appear to having their real names and photos, people will be more inclined to invest and that's why having AI generated photos is dishonest as I'm sure that everyone thought that's their founder real photo.

By the way, any answer from Polkasocial team yet? To be frank, I don't think that an answer will be positive because if   they haven't answered by now as it's in the best interest of a legit project to clear any doubt as soon as possible.

Regarding the Polkasocial app, just yesterday it had more than 300 reviews that all gave max rating, and now suddenly all those fake ratings disappeared, meaning Google probably noticed strange behavior ( only 500 downloads and 300 reviews) and removed those. Just another proof that there is something fishy going on with Polkasocial and that it should be avoided.

I wish that you listened to some of the advices that were shared in this thread because you may have resisted the urge to make two low quality generic topics after you started this one.

Pro tip:don't abandon the topic once you started it as that's what you are doing. Out of your seven posts, six were new topics. So, if you create a new topic and you don't have anything to add on that matter later on, you shouldn't have even started it. Even if you are just asking for an advice.

Of course that is not a person lol. They said in that tweet "provide your details here: @akashethu" meaning they want bounty hunters to contact person with "@akashethu" Telegram username that I guess is their team member and provide  bounty details to him. So I asked if any bounty hunters contacted him, and what he said.

I don't think that OP denies getting the tokens, he even shared address where those 333,333  escrowed BNTX were sent. Thing is, those are old tokens and are completely worthless now, and problems started with the swapping of those previously shared bounty tokens and OP claims that Bintex won't swap those tokens and instead they will scam bounty hunters. That's the whole deal here.

Another problem, as I pointed out in my previous post is the swap ratio, as total supply of BNTX was reduced for 99%, meaning even if they distribute those tokens, bounty hunters will most likely get peanuts in the end.


For some reason they decided to remove that tweet. Any of the bounty hunters managed to contact that person they mentioned?

Yeah, sometimes it ain't easy at all to spot them, if job is done properly. Worst of all, those generated images are getting better and better so soon we won't be able to spot the difference. If it wasn't for reverse image search it would be kinda hard to prove "Spase Roth" is a generated image. I have a strong feeling that rest of the team is done the same way (especially "Andrew Kang"). I tried to find it manually on several websites with generated images but to no avail. Have you check other team members, if you can notice anything weird there?


Yep, I see no reason why legit project would do something like that. @irfan_pak10 asked team for a live chat so I am really curious how will they reply to that request. I like how one newbie defended Polkasocial there with that classic "so what if photos are not real" line.


What he doesn't understand is that it is one thing to say "we want to stay anonymous due xyz reasons" and to make whole fake identity of a team member, and not just some random irrelevant person in the team but of a most important person, founder of the project. He even went  one step further and used that generated photo for his LinkedIn account.
