This is the most stupid scam attempt I've ever seen.  Angry
If anyone asks you to send him bitcoins,that's a scam.It doesn't matter what's his excuse or reason.

Happy birthday to all mods and members of Bitcointalk!
I hope the forum will survive the next 100 years.
4963  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I Just Love the Game of a Totalitarian State on: November 03, 2019, 07:47:12 AM
The level of totalitarianism can be partly determined based on whether they accept crypto or not.

What does that supposed to mean?
So the totalitarian country is good,when it adopts crypto/blockchain and it's bad if it bans them?
If they accept crypto they are more liberal,if they don't,they are more totalitarian?
All I can say is freedom for Hong Kong. Smiley
4964  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the advantages and disadvantages of BTC/LN and BSV? on: November 03, 2019, 07:43:00 AM
But how can we get more and more real world merchants accept BTC with a transaction speed of 3~7 per second?

We can't.Bitcoin will remain as a "digital gold"-store of value.
No cryptocurrency will become widely adopted by the merchants anytime soon.
4965  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: More Debt, Buy Bitcoin on: November 03, 2019, 07:37:14 AM
Bitcoin isn't the panacea for the global debt problem,because the global debt actually pumps the bitcoin price.
What you are suggesting is a bad advice.
4966  Economy / Services / Re: CryptoTalk.Org Signature Campaign [Yobit Panel] on: November 01, 2019, 01:51:03 PM
I also agree with the above. Even 1 dollar per post or 1.5 depending on the price of Bitcoin is huge money if you're paying for shitposts like some of the members of this campaign have produced. Even if a spammer gets kicked he's still paid by Yobit for what he got before he got caught. This is an enormous waste of money if we count in people who were copying old posts, bumping threads as old as 10 years, and spamming games and rounds with one liners and making more than $20 a day doing so.

A quality post that gets merited and quoted by others is worth more than 20 spam posts and Yobit could easily get a quality post per every dollar spent.

I'd like to play a devil's advocate if I am going to hire an excellent poster with 200 posts and a member rank and a legendary average poster with 8000 posts, who do I hire? I'll go for a legendary average poster with 8000 posts,
This is 8000 posts showing visibility of my ads, people are not only looking for relevant topics but people are also looking for an answer to their queries whether it is a 5-year-old post.

Yobit people want advertising I don't think they will settle for 50 excellent posters they want 300 or more average posters, they want visibility.

This has the trade-off of being an exchange or just a service with a low reputation. As DiamondCardz has mentioned, even though you write a good, instructive, discussable reply, as one person sees the Cryptotalk signature it automatically gives you the vibe of being a potential spammer. On the forum, you mostly see the signature first, then the reply and finally the person who actually posted the reply. If one thread has a billion people with all being Cryptotalk signature members, it sometimes gets annoying. Especially when more than half of those members are just shitposting. If they want visibility. So be it, lower the reward for lower ranks and increase it for higher ranks, put a merit limit and (maybe) include special bonuses?

So far, since the beginning of October, I've reported a lot of people to Yahoo due to violation of rules or just straight up abusing the campaign. A considerable number of them were Sr. Members. Although it will definitely cut the number of people participating, if you were to take out the Sr. Members from the campaign and just double what you are paying to Hero and Legendary members, I definitely bet you that the overall post quality will improve. Having a Hero or Legendary accounts is not easy. Especially if you weren't one before the merit system.

Your idea of paying a person who has 8000 posts might be viable, however, the posts would most likely be outdated, in random threads, on page 295 of Services or any other reason. YoBit also needs "activity" there are hundreds of threads being started every single day, which is basically the dream for shitposters.

I think according to the latest thread of suchmoon is that there are now more than 510 members in the campaign. But how many are actually "worth it"? I know that long posts aren't really the key and one short answer to a good question might be worth 3 long posts, but there are a lot of people who aren't even "posting" or "replying" to me, some posts are no different than "thank you, you're the best" which adds no constructive criticism, thought, idea. Nothing, nada.

YoBit has revived the signature campaign and posting on Bitcointalk, but I am not sure if it's in a good way, or bad way. They can always fix it though. All they have to do is read suggestions and listen to Yahoo.

The owners of this sig campaign will evaluate it's efficiency after the campaign ends.
Having such a big campaign on a forum like Bitcointalk is a very aggressive marketing approach.Paying 10 BTC per month for advertising is insane.Those guys probably know how to get a good ROI from such investment.

i can't see any bad reason to post just to be paid by the campaign? i was not interested in this forum anymore, until i saw this campaign

If the only reason for you to post is the sig camp payment,then you will make shitty posts that add ZERO value to the conversations on this forum.Stop complaining and move on.
I'm blacklisted by yahoo for burstposting and I don't complain. Grin

Do You think its coused by inflation? 

Do You personally feel that Fiat Currrency losing slowly puraching power?

You are asking stupid questions.Off course that the inflation causes prices to do up and the money to lose it's purchasing power.Just read more books about macroeconomics and finance.Fiat money are designed to lose their value,because they are just debt.The only protection against inflation is just to make more money and diversify your portfolio of assets.Bitcoin isn't an "easy solution" against inflation.
4970  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-09-29] A Dangerous Bug in Bitcoin’s Lightning Network Has Been Fixed on: September 30, 2019, 06:31:22 AM
However, I shake my head on how the Lightning network can quickly transform bitcoin as secure money into bitcoin, the unsafe money.

LN has never been secure. For example, you're forced to pick between run a full node (expensive), use watchtower (privacy loss) or custodial wallet to make sure another party won't cheat you by broadcast earlier state of channel.

There's no reason for drama.At the end of the day,nobody is obligated to use Lightning Network.Everyone should use LN at their own risk.Nothing is 100% safe and secure in the digital world.The good thing is that LN has an active team of developers,that handles such issues.

Again, I am not ASKING for such a service.  I am saying I know one and I want to know if people are interested in it so I would share it!
I’m interested would you mind sharing her mate?

And I believe that all of us will be interested because anonymity is what the reason why we all are here .



Atleast this is not upon using Mixing service ?

No lol not a mixing service, I don't believe in them at all and I really think that BTC is tracable using btc mixers only..so not a really safe way to deal with btcs

The question is: am I allowed to share it here or is it against some sort of rules on bitcointalk? I'd like to share it without getting banned or anything lol

You have a newbie account.Why are you so afraid of getting banned?It's not a big deal.People post shady links on the forum all the time and don't know how many of them are actually banned.If the service you are suggesting is legit,you won't get banned.If you are suggesting a scam,you will get negative feedback and probably a ban.
4972  Economy / Speculation / Re: I wan't to believe on: September 29, 2019, 06:50:31 AM
This is BS.
Back in 2017,some people(even the so called "crypto gurus") were expecting a 100K bitcoin price at the end of 2018.It didn't happen.The market prove them wrong.Nobody can predict such long term price pattern.
Don't believe this "86K USD bitcoin price after one year" BS.I would be happy even if the bitcoin price reaches 15K.Let's not be so greedy. Grin
4973  Economy / Economics / Re: Venezuela's central bank is holding Cryptocurrency! on: September 29, 2019, 06:38:16 AM
According to the latest information from Bitcoin.com, they have reported on this. I don't know if this is a bad effect or a good effect on the market? Everyone can make a point here.

So you think that bitcoin.com is a legit source of information that posts real news?I think this is fake news.
Wasn't bitcoin.com ruled by Roger Ver and the BCH supporters?
If this is really true,good for the central bank of Venezuela,but I doubt they will buy and hold bitcoins.
4974  Economy / Economics / Re: K-POP Company owners are joining the train hype of Cryptocurrency on: September 27, 2019, 12:13:26 PM
SM Entertainment, one of the top entertainment company in Sout Korea is planning on making its own blockchain network.

Due to the shareholder revolt and a falling stock price of the company they wanted to create this, in order for the Artists and the company itself be able to directly interact with the fans and be more engaged in the entertainment ecosystem.

What are your thoughts? Do you think this will have a "major" impact?

For more info, refer to these articles: Korea’s Biggest Entertainment Company to Launch Its Own Cryptocurrency and K-Pop Music Giant SM Entertainment Is Planning Its Own Cryptocurrency

Major impact on what?K-pop music?Don't make me laugh. Grin
We know that South Korea is one of the crypto-friendly countries,where the corporations show interest in blockchain technology and cryptocurrency adoption.Anyway,I really doubt that K-POP coin or token will be really successful.Building a new blockchain from scratch is pointless.
4975  Economy / Speculation / Re: Morgan Creek CEO, Mark Yusko Commented: Don’t Sell Bitcoin on: September 27, 2019, 12:09:25 PM
The veteran investor of hedge fund, Mark Yusko has said that it is not the right time for sell and Bitcoin (BTC) is only showing a buy signal. Yusko gave this statement in an interview with CNBC on 27th September.

It's sad to see that the confused newbies rely on such news in order to make buying/selling decisions. Grin
Unfortunately that's how market capitalism works.The people,who don't know how to manage their money(or coins)usually lose them and the money goes to the people,who do know how to properly manage them.
I don't care what Mark Yusko says.Panic selling is always a bad decision.
4976  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Making exponential gains trading on: September 27, 2019, 06:58:56 AM
Why are people obsessed with doubling and tripling their money?If you make a consistent 20% profit,you can double your money in 4 months.This is the so called "rule 72".If you want to double your money immediately,just forget about trading and go gamble(you will lose everything eventually).
ICO trading and 4-5times return?Is it 2017 again?I thought that ICOs are dead.
4977  Economy / Economics / Re: INFLATION IN THE UNDERDEVELOPED COUNTRIES on: September 27, 2019, 06:40:43 AM
The world economy keeps crashing with many incidence of inflation. What is happening at the moment is  a clear indication of a world that has failed the minority. Although the underdeveloped countries could partly be blamed for the high inflation that exists in their respective economies. Would things turn around for good  if underdeveloped countries start to add value to their natural resources themselves without selling to the countries with good economy?

Most of the underdeveloped countries have populist governments,that spend a lot more money than they can gather from taxation.This creates more debt and weakens their national currencies even more.
Another problem is the "poverty trap".There are too many young people and not enough money for education,so most of the young people grow up uneducated and therefore poor.
I don't believe that anything positive can happen in the underdeveloped countries.
4978  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin fell again, what conspiracy? on: September 27, 2019, 06:36:36 AM
I like it when people consider normal market behaviour "a conspiracy". Grin
The bitcoin price was staying at 10K USD for too long.It was obvious that there wasn't any support coming from new buyers to push the price up.Everyone was waiting for Bakkt to bring the new bull run,but that didn't happen so everyone is selling.That was explained many times on the forum,but the newbies don't understand it and they keep searching for a conspiracy theory.
4979  Economy / Economics / Your favorite Youtube channels about finance and economics? on: September 26, 2019, 11:42:58 AM
My favorite youtube channels about finance and economics are:
1.Graham Stephan-Real estate,financial advise,saving,making money(nothing about crypto).
2.Economy Explained-It's more about macroeconomics and why some countries are wealthier than others.

Which ones are your favorite Youtube channels about economics and finance?

rump banning bitcoin..common, let's be serious. He has no reason why, nothing to gain from and I'm 99% sure he doesn't really have a clue how it works.
His actions against the petro are only because the moron in Caracas managed to draw all attention on it and labeled it as the 128121721th dollar killer.

It's not Trump.It's his team of advisors or some congressmen in the US congress.They could easily pass the bill of banning bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies,if Wall Street or FED tell them to do so.
Even Trump can ban bitcoin.He's unpredictable,if he sees any minor benefit of a cryptocurrency ban,he would definitely go for it.
