Moderators are people who make mistakes, so even if the report is visibly handled as good, its status can be wrongly marked as bad. I don't have a lot of bad reports, but at least a third of them are due to the moderator's mistake when they marked the report as bad, when in fact it was handled positively. Reports of the same post from different users will never result in only the first report being marked as good and the others as bad, but they will all be automatically marked equally.

For a specific case, you can also contact the moderator who is a handled post, because in the case of a merged post, you can see who exactly edited that post. I'm not sure if anyone except admin/global mod can change the status of reports, but recently it happened to me that the report was corrected from bad to good without me asking for any intervention.

If you really think that someone is posting some important information about Bitcoin on social networks, then you have not learned anything in the past 11 years. You can read everything important that is happening on this forum, and considering that you are not interested in trading, the speed of obtaining information should not be too important to you.

Maybe you should look at the selection of various apps for smartphones that, in addition to the price, also have news aggregators so that you can always be up to date with what is happening. However, sometimes it can be quite irritating because you will be bombarded 24/7 with a bunch of news that will not have much sense and meaning.

I find this story of yours quite unconvincing, because it's hard to believe that someone can deliver something to you, even though it's more than obvious that it doesn't belong to you. Such valuable packages are not driven around without proper documentation and without a tracking number and delivered to random addresses. I would never receive such a package, and every honest person would do the same, so let the company that delivers the packages deal with that problem.

It's up to you to decide what to do, but I would personally return it to the company that delivered it with a written request that the package not be delivered to you anymore because it doesn't belong to you.

It makes sense, considering that you are promoting an altcoin - in case you change the campaign, you might spend more time on another boards

I have almost 20% of my posts in the Bitcoin discussion, and considering the past, even 10% in Micro Earnings as well as in Beginners & Help.

It could be a great board for everyone, if only there were more members who would use the "report to moderator" button more, considering that a significant part of the content on that board actually has nothing to do with Bitcoin or are low value topics.

The price may be too high, but considering that the venue is in Amsterdam, I believe that most people can afford to pay 250 EUR for three days, if we take into account that in the same city a pack of cigarettes costs around 8 EUR, which means that the average smoker smokes at least 50 + EUR per week if they smoke very moderately. Of course, from someone else's perspective, such prices seem absurdly overpriced, but the prices of some other things are not cheap either - for example, you won't be able to watch a live Champions League match for less than 70 EUR, not to mention the prices for the concerts of some popular singers.

In addition, the organizers do not target those with shallow pockets - otherwise they would not have held such conferences in cities such as Miami or Amsterdam.

No matter how hard you try to call it some kind of special operation, what Russia is doing is ordinary aggression with more than evident elements of ethnic cleansing and will always be treated as such in history. Bitcoin is (and will be in the future) decentralized regardless of what happens in Russia, China or the US, and your idea that decentralization is paid for with death and destruction is more than disgusting - no normal person would want such a bloody Bitcoin.

Instead of writing nonsense, you could hurry a little because your time is running out, and you haven't even pushed the price up to $25 000 yet.

Such great dependence on someone or something is never good, because you never know when that someone will change the rules of the game and leave you stranded. The Russians planned everything long before they occupied Crimea, and regardless of all the warnings from the US that an even bigger war is coming in the future, the EU did nothing to become less dependent on Russian oil and gas.

If someone wonders why they pretended to be blind, then part of the answer lies in the fact that some of the most powerful people in the EU were deeply connected to the largest Russian companies, such as the former German chancellor Gerhard Schröder.


Unfortunately, this information is correct and it will be another big blow for my country, which, according to various independent experts, could not have chosen a worse moment to enter the Eurozone. However, the politics led by domestic politicians is fundamentally anti-national in all segments of life, and the people do not ask anything because it is easier to send a man to the moon than to hold a referendum. A few days ago, the finance minister resigned irrevocably for unknown reasons, and I don't find it strange considering that joining the eurozone will be an even bigger blow to the standard of all citizens - who would want to sit in a hot seat when everything goes downhill...

You have proven that your posts are not part of a natural process, but that you use various suspicious methods that lead you to these situations. Personally, I don't think that you are the only problem with such behavior, the bigger problem is those managers who take you into their campaigns in order to fill all the spots.

Do people realize that such a way of storage is highly risky, or were they just scared of what happened to various companies that began to sink after more than obviously bad business practices fell on their heads? There's that old saying "every evil for a good", so if some have finally realized that the only right thing to do is to be their own bank, I wish them success in that.



If that were the case, the price would be a little different than today (in a positive sense), so I wouldn't really say that money is flowing into Bitcoin in such a volume. Maybe it just seems that way to me, but the increase in the cost of living has forced many to change their strategies when it comes to finances - in other words, inflation has taken away from many the part of the money they used for investments.

According to statements that can be read and heard these days, central banks have started sending warnings about a very likely recession in the next year, which should not surprise us considering how the situation in which the EU finds itself when it comes to oil and gas. Today I read an article in a local newspaper that in Germany they have already started to implement energy-saving measures by turning off public lighting and traffic lights, reducing the heating of water in public swimming pools to the point that in some districts they have completely turned off the hot water in schools and gyms.

For the EU (especially some countries), the euro is now proving to be a bad solution, and the ECB is under fire from all sides, even from the German central bank and their governor.


I look at the whole situation from another perspective, which is that exactly what is happening now is part of the war being waged in Ukraine - and that the EU will pay dearly for all the sanctions. I will not say that it should have been different, because one should always side with the one who is attacked and who is weaker, but such actions often have a high price, and it seems that everyone will have to pay it.

Telegram, airdrops, shitty tokens, and the desire for free money = a perfect opportunity for every scammer... The best way to ensure that something like this never happens to you is to not believe in fairy tales and not think that money grows on trees. Save everything valuable you have in the best possible way, preferably not online, and do not share sensitive information with anyone.

I wonder if they all managed to get away with it, because who knows how long that scam was online before the OP noticed it. Half the world may be sleeping, but the other half is awake at the same time.

I didn't want to open a new topic, but this is really strange behavior - because if someone in the same topic makes an identical post only 2 hours apart, then he/she are really lost in space/time, or is it a consequence of handling many alt accounts?

I understand the need to promote your project/website, but if you're already doing that, then at least make your post suitable for everyone to read by posting images in the appropriate size - people with limited/slow internet and small screens also use this forum.

As for the retirement attack, it's not something that's impossible - but that's why we don't keep all our eggs in one basket, regardless of its quality. In other words, it's stupid to trust only one wallet, whether it's a desktop or hardware wallet, you should always expect the unexpected and think about how to stay one step ahead of danger.

Why open a thread like this when there is a topic where you could have asked your question about the specific event -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5405252.0

Bitcoin is completely irrelevant in this story, as it has been countless times before, because ransomware has been around since 1989 and has never been exclusively linked to Bitcoin. Hackers who ask for a ransom in Bitcoin are not very intelligent, because the anonymity they obviously want to achieve is actually the way they will be caught sooner or later.

I thought that he was only known for his murals, which are really something that decorates the streets of many cities and I personally like them much more than the art paintings that someone buys and keeps in his private collection. I remember this artist because he has a profile on this forum and I know that I posted in some of his first threads.

Besides Hal Finney, there are identical portraits of Dorian Nakamoto & Nick Szabo.

How many people do you think are interested in Bitcoin because of the reason why Satoshi invented it? If that percentage is at least 20%, I would say that it is too much, considering that most people will never be able to escape the influence of a centralized system built over hundreds of years. You are right that most are waiting for the right price and their exit point, and in the end Bitcoin will become something that will be controlled by the richest if they find their interest in it.


A society that has become completely materialistic cannot perceive things around it in any other way than through value - so the most expensive things are the best, while the cheap ones are less attractive. This was also reflected in Bitcoin, which is a very good and positive thing when it is in a bull run, and in the moments when it loses its value, labels of Ponzi schemes, multi-level marketing, and environmental destruction begin to be attached to it.

I was hoping that all these companies would fail, which would be the best sequence of events regardless of the negative impact on Bitcoin in the short term. However, as things stand, this crypto circus will continue and people will continue to believe in fairy tales after all - because irrational behavior during the pandemic has become even more pronounced than before.

It's probably still something that a lot of people use (crack software), but if you're already going in the direction of getting something cheap - then why not choose a license for certain software that is sold for just a few $ for the OS or most AV? In this way, you cannot infect your computer because you are not downloading any file, and you are downloading the program from a legitimate website.

Security can never have too high price, but I understand some kid who doesn't even have money to eat a decent meal every day, and tries to get some software for free - even though it often turns out to be the most expensive way. When I was young and inexperienced back in the days of dial-up internet, one such crack cost me (actually my parents) a lot. I got infected by a dialer who called some exotic location and got a bill that was enormous - an expensive school from which I learned a lot.

Did anyone expect that it would be less or more if we talk about the percentage of those who are currently not interested in anything related to cryptocurrencies? In general, we can conclude that the majority invests only when we are in a bull market because they are caught by FOMO - now there is no great possibility of short-term profit and there is an opportunity for the famous BOA to announce some negative news when it comes to crypto.

For those who are not familiar with the past of this bank, I'll just say that they used to close every account they suspected of having something to do with cryptocurrencies - I'm not sure if anything has changed in that regard, but it's strange to me that they even report about such things.

If we assume that your figures are correct, it is still hard for me to imagine that they would go with such a high consumption only to show in the future that the consumption is even more than x3 less. In global energy consumption, Bitcoin mining is almost unnoticeable even with 180 TWh per year, not to mention only 55 TWh - and I don't understand how those who talk all the time about Bitcoin as something that is destroying our planet are not already destroyed with the facts that are saying the exact opposite?

In addition, with increasingly efficient mining devices and the fact that by the end of the decade, 99% of all Bitcoins will be mined - doesn't that mean that the number of crypto miners will decrease, and with it, energy consumption?
