People get tagged from starting this kind of threads.
This for example, is just a "one-questionnaire" which can be answered through the search function or by reading stickies.

So, better lock this topic now or else.

-That was a joke, but locking your answered threads is a good practice-

It's already April 2, Let's sum it up!
Threads like this can easily sort out people with broken sarcasm-meter.

Theymos' thread New new Rank Requirements' title is obviously a joke too! No one says "new new" with a straight face!
Even without the April Fools culture, members that "got it" the first time they saw those stats deserve a round of applause for having a healthy working brain,
otherwise, you need to see a psychiatrist.

Hi, thanks. can you please requote and verify using brainwallet, please?
Quoted and Verified using Brainwallet.
For the record, you are the second person that I quoted a message without an address in it.
Brainwallet however, can verify (find) its address just from the signature, there shouldn't be a problem in the verification.
5745  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Ten years have passed, and nobody has figured out a way to use blockchain on: April 02, 2018, 03:28:04 AM
Roughly it's just 10 years since the introduction of Blockchain technology, we got Bitcoin and Ethereum which utilizes it.
With these two, new different innovations are carefully added layer by layer and it surely takes time. For me BTC and ETH aren't designed for mainstream usage, they need a next layer of services to expand.
Give it 20 more years for mainstream version of blockchain-based technology to surface, or non-cryptocurrency applications are maybe on the way because of today's fame.

Technology isn't always fast-paced in development, except if there's competition over a scarce market.
In Blockchain related technologies like Bitcoin, people are making money without even helping the development, developers aren't gaining any profits from improving the code (only a sense security) and there's too much money involved that any revisions and additions must be meticulously tested that takes a lot of time.
This isn't smartphone's GPU/Processor Technology that are "sold" to customers then "forget them" aside from warranties.

-snip-
Or utilize the now-available technology "Smart Contracts" for voting.
Different Tokens are distributed to voters (through airdrop) which they will use to send to their pick using a specialized client (which theoretically cheaper and more secure than those available today).

-snip-
I have spare risers and MOBO. I took the AMD's off line and it hasnt shut down yet. Its not blowing fuses because I've checked and the power outlet is still on.
Is the "newly added card" AMD or Nvidia?
If it is one of the NVidia Cards, It strongly suggest that it's either the Riser, the GPUs wasn't properly distributed between the two PSUs or the PSU can't power an additional card.

If it is one of the two AMDs that you took off, you just basically reset your rig to the "no problem" state.

No, it doesn't makes things more difficult, but more complicated.
In fact, getting merit is now easier than before, check out my post here (and read the OP): Ultimate guide to ranking up as fast as possible (ABOVE LEGENDARY IN 7 WEEKS)!
5748  Other / Meta / Re: Ultimate guide to ranking up as fast as possible (ABOVE LEGENDARY IN 7 WEEKS) on: April 01, 2018, 07:18:19 AM
Coming from a person with 1 Karma point, I wouldn't believe this shit.
If a person with 0 karma, 100 pts of politeness can confirm this, it would be great.

By the way, I've done my research on how the new fMerit works!
Every 100 fMerit you got is equivalent to 1% chance that Merit sources will +merit your posts (even one-liners can be merited).
You can get more fmerit by removing your current signature and replacing it with "I am a good member of Bitcointalk"
using the formula:
Code:
(time(minutes)+coins/80)[merit+(politesness+virtue-karma)+Rank(newbie=1/Legendary=7)]

Happy Merit~ing!


This line is not a part of this thread's discussion, just for reference of a "might-be-deleted" merited post. (the OP's author is a newbie)
Start: If you're looking for the deleted merited post above this, I archived a copy of the thread here: https://archive.is/KRMqI#selection-3585.0-3585.2

5749  Other / Meta / Re: New new rank requirements on: April 01, 2018, 07:02:34 AM
I got 22 points of imagination. It doesn't seem right.
57 pts politeness is quite underrated, I sometimes troll in "non-formal/professional" boards like speculation, but I'm totally honest with my responses.

This new system needs to be be polished asap!
April Fools, Bitcointalk!
5750  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Spending from paper wallet. on: March 31, 2018, 08:38:17 AM
Thanks!

Im only claiming, from my empty paper wallet.
If they (those empty addresses) didn't have any balance before the forks (which is obviously none for an unfunded paper wallet),
will not get any forked coins at all.

I assume that your post was a reply to the top post before that reply.
Otherwise: wait what?  Huh
5751  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Rig keeps shutting off on: March 31, 2018, 08:20:01 AM
Tried sorting out the problem through deduction?

If you can afford to halt your operation, remove all the cards, one PSU and their risers.
Plug the newly added card to the best "working" riser and mine using only that card.
If the rig shuts down again, it's a bad card, if not, it's something else.

Better if you have a spare MoBo w/ components and a PSU for testing.
5752  Other / Meta / Re: Report Sufficiently Answered Topic(s) to Lock on: March 31, 2018, 07:45:15 AM
I'd just be happy if there was an auto lock after x days with no posts system and the OP could reopen if they need to. I always want to check threads I've posted in for replies directed @ me and it is a real pain when dead threads are bumped for no reason.
The problem with this is: threads that are needed to be locked are the ones which receives regular posts, thus, those will not get locked.
Using that "auto-lock" feature will help necro-posting but not the spam problem.

Together with automatic or moderated "report spam" and...
Including the Author's Rank, Last Active Date and new Poster's Rank to the basis might lessen the harm on thread locking automation.

Examples:
  • The threads of a Newbie-Member account which last login date was a year ago needs to be "soft-locked" after X period of time, only Full members or above can post a reply triggering "unlock" to the thread. That way, necro-posting newbies cannot revive an old thread, only established members can.
  • A thread of an active Full Member was reported as "spam thread" (can be automated or moderated), the Author will receive a notification about a request to lock his thread. Since the Author is active, he can receive and respond to that notification, this can apply to active newbies and members as well.
  • A thread of an inactive Full Member was reported as "spam thread", the thread will be "soft-locked" but will not be automatically locked.

In regards to the notification, it could be a warning for a read-only or ban-able offence in extreme case scenarios.

Still, the best way is to get this moderated by responding to "lock this thread" reports, but that's much of a hassle for Moderators.
5753  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Business Model Question: Is it ok to use Crowdsale to obtain Wholesale Discounts on: March 31, 2018, 06:17:43 AM
As far as I know, ICOs offer investors discounts or rather bonuses for the "early birds" and it works wonders.
Experimenting on gimmicks like extra discounts are a good thing, the wholesale discount can be a good addition if you use it well.

The truth is, ICOs aren't totally trusted by the crowd, what they trust is each-other's decisions.
People want to join an ICO which is "selling like pancakes", one reason is, they could be thinking that "it's a good one because the fund is growing faster than anticipated"
With the early bird bonus, the crowdfunding can achieve a boost at the start of the fundraising that is most of the time displayed in the Webpage, which is an eyecandy for potential investors.

With this, offering a wholesale bonus together (do not disregard the "usual") with the earlybird bonus can help the success of the ICO.
Although, the usual early bird bonus is good enough, another gimmick wort hunt.

Keep in mind that the most success-driver for crowdfunding is its offered services or end-products, not the bonuses.

Regards.

Lol, I clicked the youtube link hoping that it might be a documentation of your rig or your calculations, thinking you might gone wrong.
Anyways, this video might help you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ  Wink

Shhhhh DONT TELL THEM THE SECRET  Grin
The secret is, buy an ASIC.
5755  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Will it be possible to user bitcoin core without downloading whole blockchain ? on: March 30, 2018, 10:02:06 AM
You can also store blockchain in a separate hard drive and make sure that it is available every time you run the program. Read more ----> https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/43636/how-do-i-relocate-my-bitcoin-data-in-bitcoin-qt-to-save-space/43637#43637
I underlined a phrase from your reply that got me think twice to consider running a node.
Is that means that I need to re-sync the whole node everytime I close it if I use bitcoin core with pruning activated?
5756  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Incomplete send from Electrum to BitPay card on: March 30, 2018, 09:41:39 AM
If I broadcast my transaction now, more than a week after the BitPay invoice expired, what will happen?  

Will my btc go into limbo and then be returned or Huh
Their address will receive it but you will not get credited from it.

If you didn't already broadcasted the signed transaction, you can Select the Saved Transaction
from History->Right Click->Remove to delete it.

It will remove the "displayed" deducted balance from your address and return to its actual value.
5757  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: CryptoSamaritan - mental health resource for crypto-related addiction/depression on: March 30, 2018, 08:43:28 AM
Sorry to say but, I believe that those type of addiction cannot be directly linked to cryptocurrency.

For example: "Cryptocurrency gambling" is Gambling Addiction, fiat replaced by digital currencies doesn't necessarily means that the addiction was related to cryptos.
But don't take this the wrong way, your initiative is good and seems like the "general idea" is also needed by the non-cryptocurrency related addicted persons.
Perhaps, you can widen your Target Market? by including them in the assistance program.

5758  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: When new coin mined, if some address receives share of it on: March 29, 2018, 03:33:56 AM
You're talking about a "mining pool".

Originally in major coin blockchain's design, the block reward will be generated in the block discoverer's address in whole.

Pools are designed to "gather" multiple miners and mine using their total Hashrate.
In pools, they have an API which "mince" the reward, split it among the miners who joined the pool, the amount they will receive will be based depending on their share (individual hash rate).
5759  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can make specific people only can mine to some coin? on: March 28, 2018, 05:42:13 AM
I don't know if IP check is possible and if it was, the blockchain will be designed to choose which miners to accept?
I sorry to tell you that, any device can be easily configured to mimic that specialized hardware if someone like Bitmain (ASIC manufacturer) wants to step up their game.
That was Crytonote and Scrypt promised years ago.

Funny thing is, the only option for any coin to be ASIC-proof is to become unprofitable for them to avert their eye on your coin... or be centralized.

With that, what's the point of making A Coin as a decentralized digital currency if you're going to choose the miners and discard the rest of the community?
5760  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can make specific people only can mine to some coin? on: March 28, 2018, 05:08:28 AM
Ok, so you don't want to decentralize your coin but to prevent ASICs from joining.

That would be hard, anything that a GPU/CPU can compute can be [r]renovated (into ASICs).
A newly developed algorithm will only solve the issue temporarily, as seen in the past ASIC-proof coins.
As a Cryptocurrency, it's impossible to select specific hardware while blocking others.
This is pretty much what you're implying.

As for the hardware, if you managed to make a "your-coin-specific mining hardware/GPU" and other GPU and ASICs can be easily outperformed by it, that is still a temporary isolation/solution.
If even your coin became profitable and famous, the chance that ASIC manufacturers to make an ASIC based on your coin can be high.
Even if your hardware is different and unique, it still has a "processor" which solves an algorithm that can be [r].
