I am mostly thinking here about a good project that has great and transparent team excluding all the ones that just try to build a project for exit scam.
Finding such projects is like looking for a needle in a haystack, I think it's time to forget about ICOs and move on with the bitcoin, except of course one wants to keep taking stupid risks that only spell the obvious in the end.
but we need to change members behavior to get involved as a community and contribute into marketing development.
The odds are 99% You'll(we'll)only end up marketing scam projects to people, not just worth the risk.

Placing a credit freeze on your account is another bold step to protecting yourself, most especially from impersonators hanging around to steal your data and open up fraudulent credit accounts in your name or with your private information.

It's pertinent to explore almost all security measures you can lay your hands on, and freezing your credit would hide your credit file which contains where you live, how you pay your bills etc, from scammers and they will be unable to steal such Info.
It costs absolutely nothing to freeze your credit and less than an hour to unfreeze it, it's a no brainer if you ask me

5863  Other / Serious discussion / More reasons why you shouldn't use libra on: August 14, 2019, 10:55:25 AM
Facebook has a history of privacy breaches, and this is the reason I no longer use facebook app, it's either you're discussing with a friend in real life about a particular product, let's say Nike shoes, only for you to be inundated with facebook sponsored ads about Nike shoes for the next few weeks, it irks the hell out of me. I once met someone for the first time, had a chat and exchange of numbers with her, only to get home and she pops up in my notifications as people you may know. Their privacy breaches sucks.

The more reason I was a hundred percent disinterested in the news of the facebook Libra coin, cryptocurrencies are meant to forster anonymity but facebook coin would encroach all this privileges.

Last week it was confirmed facebook uses third party contractors to listen to users audio without their notice, this has cast doubts in the mind of cryptocurrency enthusiasts if Libra would act in line with the tenets of the world of digital currencies/blockchain technology, if their private information will be kept secret(anonymous),since they can give out users audio to a third party, why wouldn't they give out informations of cryptocurrency enthusiasts who use their coin and wallet.
I wouldn't use libra because its transactions can be reversed, plus it's basically a centralized coin, no different from fiat

Your analogy is a bit too strange, religion and the bitcoin have no relationship in common, Infact religion is another major cause of problems and lack of direction in the world today, just as Karl Marx says:"it's the opium of the masses"

Nakamoto is no savior nor lord, rather he's an individual who put in an enormous amount of effort and technical brilliance to create what today is the bitcoin, alluding him to a form of "spirit" is uncalled for and would make his efforts seem supernatural and unappreciated.
"Thou shall not use fiat $cam money"
I've never come across this in the bitcoin whitepaper.

The advises mentioned by you are not easy to implement. I cannot create a self moderation thread on my every query / discussion.
You do not have to always create a self moderated thread, what was suggested was simply measures you can take to curb spam attack on your thread or topic immediately without waiting for a moderator to act upon your report of a spammy reply/replies

Create a self mod thread, if you want to keep things a hundred percent "civil" on your topic as you can easily truncate/remove irrelevant replies and on your threads or topics anywhere around the forum that aren't self moderated, then always report spam posts/replies to the moderators, they'll act on it.
5866  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: {WARNING} Another web pretending to be exchange to steal your private keys on: August 14, 2019, 09:27:37 AM
"if it's not your private keys, it's not your coin/funds" we've become inundated with this phrase, and i think we would not stop saying it until it sinks into everyone's mind.
This scammers are more creative everyday, you need to always be patient and read thoroughly the process of registration on any exchange or cryptocurrency project.
Ask yourself if the information they are requesting is one that can give someone else an open door to get access to your coins, if it is, don't do it.

Never be in a hurry to register on an exchange, always read carefully what you're requested to do, then you'll easily spot fishy moves.
5867  Other / Meta / Re: Persecution and Deleted Posts on: August 14, 2019, 06:24:05 AM
but why would a mod delete something like this:
Your post may not have been off-topic, but not only off-topic replies gets deleted,.
Your bot looks too good to be true, and the services you claim you it offers is to an extent suspicious, so the mod who deleted probably felt the need to warn others(the unsuspecting ones) from falling for such by removing it.

If your "magic" bot is legit, you do not need to worry about it getting deleted or arguing with users over it's potential, just go ahead and use it yourself alone,they'll be the ones missing out, won't they? Wink Grin

Bounty Hunters should also make research about a project before promoting it.
Other than the risk of promoting a scam project, they need to promote the project with some sort of decency that would attract people to want to click on their signatures.
If the need ever arises for me to use a bitcoin mixer, I'll not think twice to use chipmixer, the amount of good posters on that campaign is enormous,and they promote the project/company in "good light", and it's somewhat a sign the company itself does a good job.
Just so they have something to fall under if ever bitcoin does a nosedrive.
We've moved from 3500 to 13000 in a matter of months, if it were to be ones only source of income, you must be driven into FUD and panic sales, and would miss out gaining big returns.
Newbies/bounty hunters need to learn this

That's a bit shocking, can't understand how 99% of them have no use XD explain more, please.
The network is decentralized, and it allows anyone the opportunity/liberty to create a coin, with the amount of greedy individuals in the world today, you know what that means for them?, they just create coins they know have no use case or worth, just to scam people, enrich themselves and watch the coin sink deep into the pit of shitcoins.
Stick with the big coins with real-world use unless you want to gamble in the market.
Let me rephrase @TryNinja: Stick with the bitcoin

5870  Other / Meta / Re: [SUGGESTION] Drafts Page on: August 13, 2019, 10:55:34 PM
I think that a better draft platform will incentive posters to elaborate their posts and topics more carefully.
You may have a point here, but I think 7 days span is enough time for one to make changes, elaborate and proofread thier topics or posts, for me the draft system works pretty fine as any post that probably can't be edited and made ready within 7 days should then be saved elsewhere,(outside the forum) then whenever ready can be posted on the forum.
5871  Other / Beginners & Help / It's not a job on: August 13, 2019, 10:37:41 PM
It's far from new to see a post/reply which culminates or summarizes this fact: "Trading full time or full time "bounties"(no real life job)".
Posts/replies such as the aforementioned go miles in misleading newbies, they are hence either hell bent on spamming the forum through bounties or forsaking real life skills to engage in trading. Such acts which in the long run poses an enormous threat to their financial development(situation)

What do you take the forum as?, a work place, a leisure centre, an education arena etc, every newbie needs to question him or herself on this.
If you take the forum as a job you need to change that mindset, or else you'll simply be struggling between meeting up with bounty requirements, you'll find it extremely difficult to read threads you do not wish to comment on(which is useful in garnering knowledge), you will simply make the required number of posts and off you go till next weeks task.
This sort of back and forth activity would lead to you gaining no knowledge, never ranking high up and miss out on discussions that matter.

The most appropriate thing to do is to get yourself a job in real life, and not depend totally on either earnings through the forum or trading.
Failure in trading when you have a real job that pays you isn't as fatal as it is when your do not, it's a blatant truth.
If you're on a bounty, it's not a license to spam the forum or limit yourself to only the specific boards for the campaign, explore your horizon, Join in discussions,read without always commenting, and in no time you'll see that you'll no longer struggle to meet up with your weekly post, and even if you don't, it's fine, it's not a job afterall.
5872  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Why 20% profit in crypto is TERRIBLE. on: August 13, 2019, 09:54:42 PM
Crypto doesn’t have to be hard or complex. It’s about understanding it.
Can the market really be understood?, up till now I still do not know the reason, or rather the cause of a rise or fall in price, and I guess no one does, except you simply wanna speculate, which i also can afford to do.

You make it sound like its a get rich quick scheme, and it bothers me when I see posts so as this, I understand you're trying to point out the possibility of big profits which we all aspire for, but you're also forgetting big losses which is also another possible factor.
Whether it's a 20% profit or a 2x profit, as long as no loss was incurred, then it's not bad trading at all in my opinion.
5873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: August 12, 2019, 06:03:42 PM
because I have faith in this team for this season.
I have no faith in Chelsea this season to be honest with you, I think they've got s shallow squad bereft of depth, not any quality on the bench whatsoever, I'll love to see how they brace themselves up for their next game against Liverpool in the super cup.

Ominous signs are brewing up for Frankie, Chelsea have a history of making use of the axe(sack)and i hope he isn't chopped off before he even gets started.
5874  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Failed Withdrawal on: August 12, 2019, 02:20:06 PM
Due to the fact that you didn't have the sufficient gas to complete your transaction, your transaction failed, as miners cannot complete your transaction without the sufficient gas required, but it's nothing to worry about as your ETH would still remain in your original wallet as the gas was inadequate to complete your transaction. Try tracing the eth through etherscan, and you'll find out its still there.

But note that the gas used up for the failed transactions would not be returned back to you, it'll be kept by the miners.

If you posses tokens or coins you can always sell, use or hold them. As crypto pioneers if you want to convert your holdings into something else I prefer use the coins instead of selling them. Try to find a way to buy goods or services with crypto instead of selling your asset and buy goods or services with fiat
The use of crypto isn't as widespread as that of fiat currencies, we(you included)all need fiat currencies to carry out day to day transactions and dealings, whether it's boarding a cab, picking up items at the grocery store etc, thus until crypto is used as a medium of payment in almost every work of life, the need to convert cryptocurrency to fiat will always be there. Our own contribution is to patronize the stores that are proactive enough to be accepting cryptocurrencies for payment.
If you are selling to get fiat to buy goods or services you also push a sell pressure to the coin or token and pushing the price down but if you use them as a payment you are increasing a value of that coin.
It depends on the coin in question, if it's some shitcoin(ICO token), minor dumps can be suicidal to the life or survival of the coin, but the bitcoin with its enormous trading activity/volume, it's always balanced and minor dumps cannot affect the price drastically, the more people sell bitcoins, many others buy/purchase.

Another amazing game played by the players of Manchester City today, I think it is quite bad for West Ham to be playing against Manchester City for their first game in this English Premier League season, the players of West Ham might be demoralize as they were totally thrashed by Manchester City in front of their home fans. I believe West Ham will not have an easy game against Brighton in their next match, as Brighton have also managed to beat Watford today.
I've not had the opportunity to watch the Brighton Vs Wattford highlight, but I watched the city-w.ham game and w.ham are not actually pushovers if you ask me, the first half was so shaky for city as w.ham made quite a good name for themselves, just that they couldn't find much space to make their efforts count, and yiunust have to forgive them, they can upset against best team on the land(England)

I feel West ham would beat Brighton by 2 goals to 1, I think I'm going to place a bet on this, I feel this would be the scoreline.

After all, with no incentive to post, we won't get horrible replies to useless threads. Smiley
I do not think this is true in any way, there are a whole lot of users who are still newbies and a lot(member to legendary rank) who are not on a signature, yet they come up with "useless" and low quality thread.

Signature isn't entirely the problem, even if it may contribute to it to an extent, but with the example above it's clear it's not wholly the cause of spam.
It's in the nature of humans to speak on issues they have paltry knowledge on.

Hat trick for Sterling too, Pep is developing him really well, he seems to get better & better every season. I wonder what odds you can get for him to be the top scorer in the PL this season. Might be worth a small bet Smiley
Raheem has developed into the player we all thought(knew)he will become, and a whole lot of credit must undoubtedly go the pep guardiola, the way he sets up his team favors sterling quite well, and he has so much faith in the lad, he plays almost all the games and hardly ever gets substituted.

I think sterling would top city's goal scoring chat this season, except of course if kun Aguero has something to say on that, on raheem being the epl top scorer, it's really worth a bet, though the competition would be stiff, salah, mane, Kane, Aguero, let's see how it unfolds
5880  Other / Meta / Re: Does this post deserve 10 merit? on: August 10, 2019, 05:16:12 PM
as a gift,...
< a gift to someone >
I do not quite agree with this, I do not believe that merits should ever be given as a gift. One of the definitions of what a gift is, is: "something gained incidentally without effort".
And effort and quality are two indispensable factors that ought to be present in one's post before such person should be merited, except it's a merit for something being comical or witty, then it's understandable.

But gifting out merits for absolutely nothing whatsoever, post lacking quality, effort, or isn't in any way witty or interesting. Then I think it's not just cool, it may not be wrong in the rules, but it just feels wrong to do so.
