OP, tell me about it. I have been reporting all the low quality and spam bait threads I see in the first page as soon as they are bumped for days. But I believe it'ss a lost cause. There are too much spammers. Check this thread with 16 pages. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2850560.0"BITCOIN CAN CAUSE DEATH?!" I want to share a story about a friend's experience. He is a bitcoin heavy admirer, every day spending time just playing bitcoin. To the extent that he forgot about his health, until one day he suddenly suffered a heart attack and died. According to doctors he was tired and did not pay attention to his health.
And my question is: how to set a good time to stay healthy and keep playing bitcoin.
Thank You. Hahahaha! Presented without comment: Too Much Bounties Will Kill You? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3030618.0 |

I saw this dude's shitposting in about 20 threads before finally reporting the crap to the mods. I have never reported anything, but this is just disgusting. I have been on these forums a lot and I have yet to see anything like this...hopefully his account will be banned soon and the scam spamming can stop.
Always report something like this as soon as you see it. They are usually Newbie accounts and the moderators will 'nuke' them as soon as someone brings it to their attention. If we all just wait for someone else to deal with it then there is a chance nobody will. |

I've just deployed an update that makes a few changes: - The dilution fee has been lowered from 10 % to 1 %. Investors that have paid more in dilution fees than they have gained have been refunded the difference in fee rate.
- The maximum leverage has been lowered to 3:1.
Cheers Daniel. My tiny investment got busted out early on and now have some bits to gamble with. How much leverage did you use? My 0.1 BTC onsite + 1.9 BTC offsite didn't bust, and that's a 20x leverage. I went all in and did the max 50x leverage. I figured I needed to be that aggressive to make back the 10% dilution fee. I knew it was a very risky investment so I only put 0.01 in, more for fun than anything else. |

OK, if you don't think it is the -mempoolexpiry can you explain this another way? I've just taken the following screenshots immediately after a block has been found. earn.com jochen-hoenicke.de The earn.com mempool has 601 transactions queued at 171+ that the mining pools are ignoring. jochen-hoenicke.de mempool has only 4 transactions above 170. If they factor in 600 high fee transactions that the mining pools are ignoring then obviously that is going to inflate their fee estimate. The -mempoolexpiry is the best explanation I can come up with, can you think of a better one? |

I would not be so quick to say such a thing. I have seen countless Sr. Member, Hero, Legendary accounts that do not have any additional merit. Honestly, I think it has to do with the fact that somebody might think that 'they don't need it and so I don't need to give it to them.'
Next time you see one of those accounts have a quick look at their post history and you will soon work out the real reasons why they haven't received any merit. Most of them are simply posting in spam megathreads and nobody is ever going to read one of their posts let alone give it merit. |

How can even referrals determined you are going to win or not? This is really ridiculous thing to say, referrals is the only way to support your income, although it is not much and you can't do anything too due to their inactivity. Not many of them are going to play faucet, some of them even try only to buy lottery without claiming their faucet as well
in the end it depends on the type of referrals you have and what you did to get them. most people advertise their links as a way to "make money" by claiming faucet for example, so you get that type of referrals where they claim faucet a couple of times and go away. but if you get someone who invests, claims faucet, plays the gambling game,... then you make real commissions. and it is true about advertising any referral link. you have to find the correct audience and find the best person that can give you the most amount of money. This is very true. You only need to find one or two good referrals to make much more than 100's that only use the faucet. You can just get lucky as I have a few times but if you can get someone who is interested in gambling and give them the link directly that's much better than just dropping the link all over the internet. |

I don’t see why. Spam is spam; and social-media spammers won’t be earning any more merit than forum spammers.
Becuase they don't need to rank to Member to get a signature to spam Twitter and Facebook they just need to buy some followers and 'friends'. If they are just posting links to Twitter and FB in those bounty threads at least they aren't polluting the rest of the forum. |

Is there a subforum here or a subreddit where bfx support answer questions? Like for Kraken there's a support agent answering questions in their official topic here on Bitcointalk. Is there any place like that for bfx? I've opened a ticket two months ago and have exchanged a few emails but my deposit is still missing. I'd like to speed things up because it's getting ridiculous.
They do have active representatives on r/BitcoinMarkets and you can also try to @ them on Twitter. |

These days we've got whole towns in Asia coming here just for the campaigns, and they are all shitposters and they all sound alike. So it's too damn bad that these noobs won't rank up. They shouldn't be able to, and the merit system is near perfect for ensuring that.
Lmao! Man you crack me up at times. "Whole Towns in Asia" - It literally gave me an heart attack while spilling the food from my mouth as I was at the dinner.You know signature campaigns is an old trend now.The trend heavily is shifting towards bounty campaigns.You will find accounts that literally have no posting history but only links for the bounty campaigns. There are 2 types of bounty campaign though. The ones that pay shittokens to spam social media and the ones that pay shittokens to spam this forum. The merit system should help speed up the transition to the former. |

Theymos could've solved this problem the time he created the merit system.. He could've easily given every member merits based on activity and not ranks, for example: A full member like you who has 250 activity should have been given around 200 merits to start with not only 100 (the amount needed for member rank).
But he must have his reasons not to do so...
He answered this in another thread. .....I considered giving merit proportional to activity, but I decided not to because doing so would probably give far more undeserved merit than deserved merit in total. But undoubtedly some people got screwed by this.....
I wouldn't agree with this reasoning but there it is. |

The problem is, we do not need different services using different formats all over the place. I see with the latest Bitcoin Core 0.16.0 that was released, they sort of singled out Bech32, so I reckon that is the way things are going to now.  This means I have to switch to wallets that use Bech32 or hope that my wallet provider makes the switch soon. I wouldn't phrase it as 'singled out'. By default Core 0.16.0 will give you a '3' Segwit address and you have to specify if you want to have a bech32 address instead. The most important thing is that Core will now let people send to bech32 addresses. So hopefully, that will lead to all the services allowing withdrawal to all address types and everyone will be able to choose which they use. |

Is there some error in the investment reporting or did someone really invest 4700 BTC for just 2 days and then divest it? https://i.snag.gy/ZIaz0k.jpg |

If you assume transaction volume drops off on weekends (and holidays), then changing the formula to only take 72 hours of data into consideration then transaction fee estimates will always be high on the weekend and will be too low on Monday/Tuesday, possibly to the extent using that fee rate will result in a transaction that won’t confirm (until the weekend).
That's missing where the problem is. From what I've seen all the mining pools are all using a 72hr expiry so earn.com is factoring in transactions that the miners will never include in blocks. That is what is inflating their estimation. |

Right now they are telling people to pay a $0.67 transaction fee when a $0.20 fee might suffice. Honestly, there is no scandal here. In both cases, transactions are basically free. This is true, their model is slow to adjust to changes so it lags when fees are heading up as when they are falling. Although my observation is that it is much slower to adjust downwards. That's what made me spend a bit of time trying to work out what is going on with it.
I think this has to do with the fact that fees declined faster than it increased. I wasn't suggesting that there was a scandal and I've stayed away from putting a tinfoil hat and suggesting that they do this deliberately. I started the thread because something seemed wrong with the way it is working and I was trying to find out what. Since then as I've watched more I've become convinced if they just set that -mempoolexpiry to 72 they would improve their fee estimation. Until then I'll just recommend people use other fee estimators. |

I still cant mine its been over 2 or 3 months for me on my main PC. Contacted support = no reply
It works fine for everyone else so it must be a problem at your end. As I already said antivirus and Windows Defender will block it unless you add it as an exception. Other than that your firewall may also be blocking it. |

Update on this. Currently, the mining pools are not finding enough transactions to fill blocks, the mempool is empty as far as they are concerned.
[...]
But bitcoinfees.earn.com is still showing many transactions in their mempool including a lot at high fees.
[img ]https://i.snag.gy/LWeEO2.jpg[/img] You are misreading that chart. The chart displays how many transactions have been broadcast in the past two weeks and past 24 hours, not necessarily what is unconfirmed in the mempool of a given node presently. I believe this is done to account for variance in both the number of transactions per second and in block times. That site is somewhat open to interpretation. https://i.snag.gy/FSAYyn.jpg The heading "Unconfirmed transactions" would indicate it means what is in their mempool. I've always taken "# OF TRANSACTIONS IN MEMPOOL IN LAST 336 HOURS" to indicate that they have set the "-mempoolexpiry" parameter to 336 rather than 72hrs most nodes use. Watching the site you will see the numbers reducing when a block is found which is consistent with that. The second heading "Transactions today" and "# OF TRANSACTIONS IN LAST 24 HOURS" doesn't specify but if you watch the numbers it does look like they mean confirmed in the last 24hrs. The numbers certainly increase when a block is found. If it really meant how many Tx had been broadcast in the last 2 weeks it would always be a much larger number than the number of Tx confirmed in that last 24hrs. That would mean the top bar would be larger than the lower blue bar, which it never is. . When transaction fees were skyrocketing in the past, I noticed that bitcoinfees.21.co would often underestimate required transaction fees. This is probably a flaw in the concept of the fee market than anything else.
This is true, their model is slow to adjust to changes so it lags when fees are heading up as when they are falling. Although my observation is that it is much slower to adjust downwards. That's what made me spend a bit of time trying to work out what is going on with it. |

To use Segwit you need a new wallet anyway
It shouldn't. I'm still trying to work out how to get a bech32 address.
Start with (or add to your bitcoin.conf) -addresstype=bech32. Or in the Receive tab, check the "Bech32 address" checkbox and get a new address from there. Thanks for clearing up my misunderstanding. I just opened with my old wallet and it all works. |
