561  Other / Meta / Re: Ninjastic.space - BitcoinTalk Post/Address archive + API on: November 24, 2023, 08:33:55 AM
I do not know about that. However, for the experiment I did, Ninjastic only displayed my unedited posts. Maybe ninjastic doesn't record edited posts or maybe ninjastic takes longer for edited posts to be recorded.
It is, but only after 5 minutes. So if you edited your posts so many times at least 4x before that time (5 minutes), then probably the last thing it will record is the post content after 5 minutes.

- Check the unedited/archived posts along with their edited version made up to 5 minutes later.

Exactly. Basically, the site only does two scrapes: one when the post is made, and another 5 minutes later.
Everything that is done between 1 second and 5 minutes is not recorded, only what exists in minute 5. Any edits made after minute 5 will not be recorded.

I think there are cases where OPs would make sense to do more scraping, even if it was through solition. But, I understand why this is not the case.

That's right.  Bitcointalk has so many posts that scraping all of them continuously is not feasible and  you're right - With millions of new posts popping up all the time, it's impossible to keep track of every single edit made on every single post. Essentially, any edits made between scrape A and scrape B would be missed.  And anything edited after the most recent scrape would be missed too.

What would happen if it turns out that I really have all those profiles, from fxsurfer to this one? <snip>

As I already mentioned, the point is that you've brought these claims in the past and folks have disputed them all and here you are raising them again.  I'm sure you feel strongly about your perspective.  But gotta be real - it's been 6 years.  Things didnt go the way you predicted back then.  So what's the point of making new accounts every few months to rehash it all?

What exactly are you hoping to accomplish at this stage? Im listening if you've got new insights or ideas to share.  But if it's more of the same I'm not sure what good it does at this point.  The world has kept on turning these last 6 years.  Time to catch up!

You don't get it. None of the units - such as the ones written on banknotes, bank deposits, casino chips, or gift cards,... are eatable, drinkable, wearable, etc. But their issuers redeem them. <cut>

Their issuers redeem them... until they don't! What Was the Zimbabwe Dollar?
Can you find me just one teeny-tiny instance in the whole, albeit relatively short history of Bitcoin when it wasn't redeemable? But according to your narrow-minded definition, the Zimbabwe Dollar is money, while Bitcoin is not? Give me a break!



You have a stalking agenda on that dude - fxsurfer or whatever, and you came here to accuse me that I am that dude. Basically, you're trolling this thread with your personal fantasies.

Cut it out with the nonsense! That "dude" (you) got the boot back in 2019. How can I stalk on someone who's been kicked from a forum?

As for the arguments. You haven't even address them in my previous thread. All you did is talk nonsense about aesthetics of invisible things.

What arguments? That invisible things cannot serve an aesthetic purpose? That's not a valid argument; it's just a reflection of your ignorance about things in the real world.

Finally, crypto units cannot be drunk, eaten, built into products, worn as jewelry, viewed as a picture or movie, or listened to as music. In short, they do not have an intrinsic value that creates a certain amount of benefit through the fulfillment of human needs, for this benefit to serve as a reference for the value of these units.
 
Is it possible to drink or eat fiat, or incorporate it into products, or wear it as jewelry, or watch it as a picture or movie, or listen to it as music???!!! Please stop this nonsense. Huh

The same stupid argument you present as evidence against Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is the same as evidence against Fiat and banks. What is the real value of Fiat? They are just worn out pieces of worthless paper.

What's also worse is that you talk about debt bonds for banks as if they are the greatest invention in human history. These bonds are just stealing people's money in a legitimate way.

You make an excellent point.  Fiat currencies like the dollar or euro are also built on shared belief systems when you get down to it.  Their value comes from the trust and agreement people have that these pieces of paper or chunks of metal are worth something.  With Bitcoin, it's a similar story - even though you can't physically hold a bitcoin, people believe it has value and usefulness as a digital currency. 

I mean, gold is always cited as having intrinsic value but at the end of the day it's just a shiny rock and  its value comes from perceived scarcity and societies placing worth on it.  Cryptocurrencies might seem intangible, but they have features like decentralization, security features, and innovative technology backing them up.  So in some ways thats where their value comes from - the functions they can serve in our increasingly digital world.

Whether it's old-school fiat or new modern cryptocurrency, it's often more about perception than physicality.  As long as people trust in the worth of a currency and agree to use it, that creates value.  The intrinsic value label gets thrown around a lot, but when you peel back the layers all currencies rely on social consensus to function.  Crypto simply represents a new form of agreement in the internet age.




You are now doubling down on your stalking agenda. No one cares about your theories on forum users. If you have nothing to say about the topic at hand just move on.

My stalking agenda? Do you have any evidence of that? As far as I'm aware, that was my first comment in this thread, and before that, we had some back-and-forth in your other topic. You can hardly call that stalking.

The point is, we've talked about this before on the forum, and your arguments? Debunked every single time.  I get that you feel strongly about this, but if you can't bring something fresh and actually convincing to the table, spare us the theatrics of creating new accounts and rehashing the same old script.  Your same old claims from 6 years ago are still as baseless as they are now, and guess what? Things didn't exactly play out in your favor - if anything bitcoin's value has skyrocketed.  So clearly you missed the mark there. 
565  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: The story of Betnomi.com (Exit Scam) on: November 22, 2023, 03:21:33 PM
All I know is that there was only one name mentioned in forum all the time and that is Sorsis.
Some people said he was bragging that he earned money by stealing credit card information, so he always claimed to be a good with computers or good hacker.
I cant even imagine Sorsis hacker being scammed and tricked this way by some other guy who was allegedly above him in Betnomi.
Other people worked for him and this is not a secret, but I dont know the real numbers.

He admitted to being a scammer in the past, allegedly making good money from credit card fraud.  I don't think people like that ever truly reform.  Sure, some may change their methods or targets, but the core motivation remains the same - to deceive and exploit others for personal gain.  Once you've made peace with that it becomes a way of life. 

So while he may put on a show of turning over a new leaf, I'd bet money the old ways still lurk beneath the surface and  hes just better now at covering his tracks and keeping up appearances.  But a scammer will always be a scammer deep down inside.  This latest act is nothing but smoke and mirrors as far as I'm concerned.

Six years ago, you were spouting the same nonsense under the now-banned fxsurfer account. Since then, you've been on a marathon of creating countless accounts – Snowshow, Antikvark, Antithesis, niwrad – all to cover your tracks. Yet, despite the effort, your ignorance remains impressively intact. Time to break the cycle, maybe?

Relevant thread: Ban evasion (account fxsurfer)

So, you're stalking forum users critical of bitcoin and then accuse them of being some banned dude. Hilarious.

I'm not stalking forum users, especially not someone like you. Why on earth would I bother? You keep coming back to this forum of your own free will. Unless, of course, someone's got you on puppet strings. I wouldn't know that.

I'm just laying out the facts relevant to the discussions. If you're so keen on pretending to be someone else and hiding behind a constant trolling spree with new accounts, well, buddy, that's your mess to sort out, not mine.
567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has anyone been able to make steady income with gambling ? on: November 22, 2023, 11:12:18 AM
Gambling's definitely a gamble (no pun intended).  The odds are always in favor of the house and the house usually wins.  Sure, you can make some cash gambling, no one denies it, but it ain't exactly a "reliable source of income".  

And I feel what others are saying on trying not to repeat stuff thats been talked to death on here already.  Sometimes an old topic deserves a new perspective, but OP, just maybe do a quick search next time before posting to see if the ground's already been covered.
568  Economy / Economics / Re: this makes a huge impact on the economy. on: November 22, 2023, 09:14:00 AM
Do you also find yourself spending more on you payday?, or you approach your expenses differently?

As for me, I don't really have set shopping routines.  When the checks roll in every month, I usually knock out the regular bills first and  groceries and whatnot I just buy when I need to, spreading it out over the weeks.  I tend to watch my budget pretty close not overspending just because I got some extra funds that week.  But I also dont deprive myself either - if I've covered my bases, a little treat now and then is nice.

Some people go nuts when they get paid, while others prefer to save their money.  Comes down to personal money situation and preferences, I guess.  At the end of the day, we all handle our finances differently.  Businesses need to understand that if they wanna connect with customers and meet their diverse needs.

571  Other / Meta / Re: Understanding Multiple accounts (newbie) on: November 21, 2023, 02:39:45 PM
from your explanation it means the rule is self contradicting and should be looked into for a rephrase. Because if its not illegal to own multiple accounts then banning all multiple accounts linked to a faulty user should be put in view. The rule can be rephrased to say one account to one user and owning multiple accounts at owners risk. Otherwise this rule is just self contradicting and should be open for review.

It is not the rule that is contradictory, but your understanding of the rule. The rule doesn't prohibit having multiple accounts; it prohibits using them when one is banned.

Quote
Ban evasion ( using or creating accounts while one of your account is banned) is not allowed.

What part of this rule is unclear to you? To clarify, YES, you are permitted to have more than one account on the platform. NO, you are not allowed to use them as long as one or more of your accounts are banned. YES, you can continue to use them all after your ban is lifted.

I'm still on the fence about whether he actually misused the trust system, but even if he did, it's related to his DT status. When it comes to his merit-source status, we should only look at how he's using merits. Is there any evidence that he's leveraging his merit-source status to push a political agenda?

Unfortunately, the Search Personal Messages function only works with received messages in your "Inbox", not with "Outbox". So, I don't think there is an easy way right now, except to manually go through all the pages in your outbox and use the search function in the browser (F3) for a quick keyword search.

575  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there an option for automatic conversion of a coin if we set fluctuation ? on: November 20, 2023, 02:00:06 PM
Suppose, I buy XRP and set limit of 15% fluctuation. The coin should immediately be converted into Monero if this happens. Is there any exchange which offers this function ?

How do you define a 15% fluctuation? It depends on the timeframe you're looking at.  I'm guessing you want to set some kind of alert or trigger if the price jumps around that much.  The more advanced trading platforms let you set stop-losses and take-profit orders and stuff like that, so when the price hits whatever target you picked, it'll automatically sell or buy or whatever.  Thats probably the easiest way to automate what you're talking about and  

However, if you need something more custom, you'd have to set up your own trading bot.  It uses the exchange's API to check the prices and execute trades programmatically based on the rules you set up.  So yeah easy way is use the platforms built-in orders.  If you want full control, make your own bot.  Just depends how sophisticated you want to get with it.
576  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: BTC not showing up on Blockchain.com wallet--been 10 hours on: November 20, 2023, 12:46:32 PM
I have been using this wallet for last 2 years,never had any issues,so I dont think its a fake one

So, how do you explain the problem you're facing? It doesn't have to be that you're using a fake wallet, but if you can't access the funds on your wallet even though other independent blockchain explorers show that the transaction is confirmed and you claim that the receiving address is correct, the only remaining explanation is that the problem is with your wallet.
577  Economy / Reputation / Re: [Discussion] Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆 on: November 20, 2023, 11:12:38 AM
I think keeping things simple makes the most sense here.  Just sending the prize money directly seems easier and avoids extra hassle and,  let's be real, many members probably won't love sharing personal info just to get a reward.  Giving prizes to voters could mean more cheating attempts, too, which isn't ideal for the contest's credibility.  But I guess if it gets more people pumped up and involved that's a plus! Having clear rules on who can vote could help limit fake accounts messing things up.
578  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is your solution to pay less Fee ? on: November 20, 2023, 10:32:47 AM
When you want to pay a lesser fee as bitcoin charges is high, I think best slow is to swap your bitcoin litecoin and send across any wallet you want and mostly exchange and after swapping it there you can swap it to bitcoin,

This is useless advice in the conditions of high fees on the bitcoin network. It just makes things more complicated by adding extra steps and fees when the goal is to pay less in fees.  I mean, jumping through hoops only to end up in the same spot but with higher costs? Makes no sense.  If the aim is lower fees, then forget the pointless crypto swaps and look into simpler, practical options.

When people first start gambling, they get caught up dreaming about scoring it big.  But let's be real - the casinos and bookies are the ones who end up benefiting in the end.  Most of the time when people lose, they try to forget about it and only focus on those rare wins that keep them hooked and  we've all been there before, chasing those wins.  Everyone's got their own tale when it comes to gambling.

I've been gambling for a while now, longer than I'd probably like to confess.  It's been several years since I tried betting with bitcoin, so even if I broke even, which I doubt, Id still be down in dollars.
