I know someone who uses BitMex and he is yet to receive any spam/scam email, probably it's on its way though. Exchanges are always prone to one taint or the other, it's either hack issues, maintenance issues and now it's the email of users being circulated around.

This is further indication that one should not totally trust any exchange, do not leave your coins there, and if you're going to be giving them any vital information, make sure the exchange is really a reputable one.
This thread is good to stir up the consciousness of BitMex users so they do not fall for any scam attempt.

One of such news could be that Ole gunner Solskjaer just confirmed that three of his key players are doubts for tomorrow's game against Bournemouth, Rashford, Maguire and Lindelof, though it's not yet certain they'll miss the game, they are to undergo late fitness tests to see if they'll start or play a part in tomorrows game.

I think with or without them Manchester United would win this one, they seem to have picked up a little bit of form and they'll be looking for that to continue, I'll be going for a first half win for united in this game.

Cryptotalk participants aren't forced to meet any requirements, there is just a maximum payout of 10 posts per day(And it isn't compulsory to make), which they would pay for, and I do not think that is too much, I can comfortably make ten posts a day without the slightest hint of being called a spammer.

Some campaigns require 25-30 posts per week to get paid, but cryptotalk participant could make 10 post a week and still get paid, what this shows is, it's not the campaign that's solely to blame, users can decide to be spammers whether they are on cryptotalk or not, it just happens so many(spammers)are on that very campaign as the number(participants)is so high.

Yes, there are no restrictions to join the campaign, but yahoo with the effort of the community are breathing down the necks of the spammers, you can join in on the act by reporting a spam post when you see one.  

If you want Maxwell impeached as a forum moderator and at the same time you do not want to go into details as to why he should, neither do you want to deliberate with the community based on facts as to why he should step down.

Then I think you should send a private message to theymos, he is the only person who can act on such request, also you need to lock this thread because when you bring forth this sort of argument to the community, you need to go into details, argue on it and try to prove beyond reasonable doubts the facts you'd have presented, but obviously you've presented none.

I think this is the thread you're talking about, you actually made this thread in the off-topic section, and I must tell you few people visit that section, your thread just took me there for the first time in many months. Many thread there aren't really "off-topic" in relation to being outside of cryptocurrency, they are threads to be discussed by a group of friends discussing over a meal, not on a forum.(stuffs like "your favorite meal", "favorite food" etc), it isn't just appealing.

Not everyone loves to read long threads, I myself do not like to read messages that are too long, except they interest me, are about merit statistics(i love those threads), or if it has an arresting beginning. Honestly not everyone would read a really long thread by a newbie, worse when that thread is posted in the off-topic section, that should be the reason you thread lacks more than three replies as of the time of posting this.

I had a really terrible experience with an exchange, I would rather like to withhold the exchange name for some reasons, firstly they made me go through hell just to fulfil their KYC requirements, I had to give up personal documents I ordinarily wouldn't have loved to do, that was during my first few years as a bitcoiner, I managed to successfully open the exchange and stored some of my coins there

After quite a long time, I hadn't logged in or followed up with the exchange, I then decided to login and check my coins only to find out that my account has been disabled due to maintenance and upgrade of their site(well that's what they claim), I tried contacting them, but it proved abortive, I lost quite some coins there, but it taught me a good lesson, as I have only operated with reputable exchanges since then, and I haven't had any issues, as I hardly leave my coins on exchanges anymore for more than necessary.

Whenever this question is thrown at me, cavalcades of answers troop into my mind, I'm entering my second year as a cryptocurrency enthusiasts and really there was just one reason I got involved in cryptocurrency, but once I got in, I now have over a million reasons to stay put. I got into cryptocurrency simply because I heard it could make someone rich...i decided to probably join in on the party, I got a few coins, obviously I had no knowledge whatsoever in trading, it was a terrible experience then(you can't imagine how bad).

But the moment I started to understand that the bitcoin transcends far more than that, I picked up bitcoin books, read files online, joined this forum etc.. I understood I could have financial freedom, I could actually control my wealth, store my assets as well as use then as payment options when I deem fit, now I'm exploring all the advantages bitcoin and cryptocurrency can offer, not just instantaneous wealth.

I'm thinking next week inter Milan goes top, currently as its stands I think juve are topping inter with just a single point and hell juve have been struggling with picking up three points lately, though I must add that they do know how to find a way to win in the end.

I'll be hoping Torino at best hold juve to a draw in this game, so inter could go top, that's if they win their own match, they blew their chance the last time. I've never followed the Italian seria A the way I'm doing this season, I'm loving the competition, and I want my man conte(inter)to come out on top when the curtain is drawn.

Indeed order has been restored and did anyone expect otherwise? Sometimes when the league begins, it usually takes a few games for the big boys to kick into gear and take their rightful positions, during this times smaller teams hold such positions and they start to dream .

Granada would definitely make it to Europe, but they can't for sure get their hands near the title, Madrid and Barcelona would very soon narrow it down to a two horse race, Barcelona are favorites, but hell they've won the title too much in the last decade, I want Madrid to lift it this season.

If you take a closer look at the replies above, you'll see that numerous users have said already that there's no real or definite marker to identify if a project is legit, most people who still partake in ICO projects do it as a sort of "try your luck" and I can say that in 2019 your chances of "good luck" are overtly slim.

ICO market is now more or less run by the scammers, they know no matter the tip off or warning, people would still be foolish enough to fall for their fake whitepaper, team and project promises, if you're not a prophet who can discern a true ico project, stay away from them .

Good info you have there, this has updated me on some facts and figures that have to do with bitcoin as well as the forum, looking at how far the bitcoin has come, you can only have praises for it and nothing more.

I'm so glad I'm here sharing this moment with this community, bitcoin and bitcointalk have been of wonderful benefit to me, through this community I can stand anywhere and discuss about the bitcoin without making a fool of myself, the knowledge and education I wouldn't trade for anything.
Happy birthday bitcoin!

I think if I read the OP correctly it's going to be an optional feature, you can decide to follow many users, few users or no user at all, it's not like you'll get notifications for users you are not following, that's when it's going to be annoying.

The feature would be a good one, may not be so great on the aspect it would look more like a social media feature, but it would keep users up to date with posts made by their favorite uses, which of course they will follow voluntarily.

You have a point, but would you put aside all his success with city simply because of one trophy, if city win the league this season, that'll be three in a row not to talk of if they add the league and fa cup, that'll be total domestic dominance and that's some feat worthy of note as well as something city wants, yeah the previous managers had various levels of success but I don't think any would be able to match peps success when he leaves.

The UCL is indeed a coveted title that city would be craving to win, pep wants it, the board wants it as well as the fans, and i believe city would push with all they have to get it this season, but if they don't and can make up with domestic titles, then it's a successful season I must say and I doubt if he can be called a failure.

When we take a look at the crazy transfer market this days, it's no surprise when certain price tags are put on players by their clubs, surely son wouldn't cost lower than that, and we all know Levy is a master in handling transfers/business, he knows how to get exactly the best deals. As for juve needing son, I do not feel he is the sort of player juventus needs, I doubt he'll even suit the Italian league/juve style of play.
He could be a nice fit in Manchester United, but the odds spurs would sell one of their key players to united would be so slim, except for a crazy amount.

I think that issue has also been handled, as far as I know Yahoo has been in charge of the campaign for some weeks now and the changes are visible all and around the forum.

cryptotalk is a very attractive campaign pay wise and I think they would not have had this much issue and eyebrows raised if they had hired a good manager at the initial time, they had to be banned before they could understand that the forum has rules, and they rightly adjusted.

I think so, OP sounds like someone who's aggrieved for being banned before, because his accusations are funny, this is probably his alt account I suppose.

Op have you been banned before? Are u ban evading?
We can help you if you tell us

This isn't a general reduction on the number of weekly posts to be made, this is two campaigns handled by the same user(Hamphuz)and probably based on his agreements with the project company decided on 15 posts, he could manage a bounty tomorrow and it'll be 25 posts, there's nothing fixed, the weekly posts for those campaigns could even increase in the second week.

If you wish to know why he reduced the number of posts per week, you can go to him via pm, as far as we are concerned there is no enforcement for the reduction of weekly posts in the forum.

If you intend to become a bounty manager, ill advice you move your topic to services, that's the section where users posts their intentions to become campaign managers, not on beginners and help.

I wonder who would hire a newbie with zero merits, and no activity, it'll probably take you forever to get a campaign to hire you.
Well as you're getting to it, do well to purchase a copper membership so you could be able to post images.

Is this even an option, making fiat obsolete would not be possible even in a million lifetimes, and we do not need fiat to be dated before bitcoin can be appreciated by those who lack digital knowledge.

Rather than opting for the impossible, the only way to do what you propose is to educate them, the ordinary folks as you call them have probably not been exposed to what the bitcoin offers, they need to be taught how to use the bitcoin, the advantages and opportunities it brings, how it can be used with their fiat, without one making way for the other, etc.
I think education still is the best means to make bitcoin more and more acceptable.

Nice concept and I think it's actually great you're trying something different and you also did it well. Your poem/song makes so much sense as it incorporates forum terms and language.

It is wonderful indeed that the community is joining hands together to celebrate this forum, and indeed no one can object to the fact that we indeed need to mark the anniversary of this great forum.
