Bitcoin fork shills tend to get red tagged.
That's what I'd call an "improper use" of the trust system. Shilling a shitcoin does not make you a scammer. A "shitcoin" is not an objective criterion. Some may call Bitcoin "shitcoin", according to their priorities.

I see Lauda had left several such red tags on people who supported Bitcoin Cash. I wasn't around when Lauda was active, but I know she (or he?) was somewhat established and respected. I didn't understand this line of thinking, to be honest. If someone is a scammer, it is better to describe the specific actions that make them a scammer, rather than labeling them based on ideological differences. (Unless it is clearly evident that the project is a scam)

IMO trying to trick people into believing a bitcoin fork is "The Real Bitcoin" is dishonest and worthy of red trust. As we all know there is only one "real bitcoin" and it is Bitcoin. Years back there was a few people who came to the forum to complain about buying BCH thinking it was BTC. This was because of dishonest marketing at bitcoin.com. Maybe some people (such as Ver) truly believe in their heart they are shilling "the real bitcoin", but I wouldn't trust flat-out lunatics to provide sound financial advice either.

It's crucial to clarify a misunderstanding: signing a key does not conclusively prove one's identity as Satoshi Nakamoto.

Its a hell of a lot better than the route you are now attempting to go. Here's why we all know you're full of shit: If you had anything of interest at all to present, you would have opened with that instead of your low-brow PGP party trick. As BlackHatCoiner pointed out, anybody can forge anything, except for a message signed from satoshi's actual PGP key.

You picked the wrong place to try this imbecility -- you should have started at a BSV forum.

Sure, grab some popcorn! Would you like to see signed blocks? Is that what everyone wants? If so, what would you prefer to sign them with or say?

Only if you want to continue to waste everyone's time.

I signed the message you posted, "Anybody can put satoshi's email address in a public PGP key... his actual key is here. Would be much more impressive if you could sign a message from it. So far, you haven't provided any sort of proof of anything."   Wink

C'mon man. You signed the message using the key YOU generated on March 22, 2024 -- not Satoshi's actual PGP key as I requested.



This is Satoshi's PGP fingerprint: DE4E FCA3 E1AB 9E41

My key with Satoshi's email address is from Dec 2023... guess that means I actually control it and not you  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Really, who do you think you're fooling? We're not exactly spring chickens around here. Give up the grift.

Yet more AI shitposts from Hopila, even though I already tagged him, what's he trying to achieve by sandwiching/prefacing the AI with manually-written nonsense/nothingness.

For me I think,It's important for new traders to use the social sharing features as educational tools rather than solely relying on them for trading decisions. By observing how experienced traders analyze the market and interpret signals, new traders can gain valuable insights and improve their decision making skills. However, its crucial for new traders to combine this knowledge with their own research, analysis, and risk management strategies to make informed trading decisions.because sometimes following  signals without understand the reasoning behind them can be risky .

Like you said,One aspect that developers may choose to remove from Bitcoin is transaction malleability. Transaction malleability refers to the ability to change the unique identifier of a transaction before it gets confirmed on the blockchain. This issue can lead to potential complications and vulnerabilities in the network. By removing transaction malleability, Bitcoin could improve transaction reliability and overall security.

Well.The decision between day trading and hodling ultimately depends on your personal financial goals, risk tolerance, time commitment, and knowledge of the cryptocurrency market. If you have the expertise, time, and willingness to actively trade, day trading can potentially generate faster profits. However, if you prefer a more passive approach, long-term holding may be a suitable strategy to capitalize on the overall growth of the crypto market.

It's important to conduct thorough research, consider your financial situation, and possibly seek advice from financial experts before choosing between day trading and long-term holding in the cryptocurrency space. Remember that both strategies come with risks, and it's essential to invest only what you can afford to lose.

You could always go the Inscriptions route.

Seems to be working for the new Bells, which is a cloned version of Billy Markus' pre-Doge coin.

Sir what is the meaning of "inscriptions route" and how can IXCOIN do this? Thank you.

I didn't see this before, but basically its assigning values to every satoshi of IXCoin. Even if ur chain doesn't have SegWit, you can store non-standard data in transactions, such as image files or whatever. In Dogecoin, for example, it is accomplished by chaining several transactions-worth of data into a single file.

I think there's the same challenge to solve than in my proposal: The "miners" would have to be rewarded in some way to incentive them to store the correct contents. But how can you be sure that they store the correct content, and not some randomly generated fake posts which would take them probably less time than to scrap the forum?

Maybe it would be possible to assign forum contents to be "mined" in a block to a hash, and if the contents don't match the hash, the block is invalid. Of course, posts can be updated, and are continually edited or removed, so there'd have to be a very scientific, precise way in which the hash is calculated. And whichever miner calculates the correct hash first receives the block reward.

I don't see any good reason why anyone would do this when there are free alternatives like IPFS.

Because there's no motivation/incentive for anyone to continually archive the forum, forever. We are currently reliant on the goodwill of TryNinja and LoyceV to properly archive forum posts.

Show me the programmer that estimates they could pull off a task like that, and 999 times out of 1000, I'll show you someone that doesn't really understand the problem.

I don't doubt it  Cheesy

I can envision a system where 10-minute batches of posts are "mined" in a new PoW chain that stores the forum database. Of course it would have to come with a "premine" of all the old posts. There are certain sections of the forum that I would omit entirely, including (but not limited to):

- Marketplace
- Politics & Society
- Off-topic
- Archival
- Marketplace (Altcoins)

Cutting out these sections - along with all images - would reduce the initial database size by at least half, I'm guessing. Would be a fun project; if I had all the time in the world I'd probably try to launch it.

Its simply stunning how everything you try to shill immediately dumps afterward. I mean wow, it's beyond luck. You're possibly the worst trader I've ever seen on this forum. You can take guesses about me all you want, but the proof is in the pudding about how clueless you are -- all anyone has to do to find out is read this thread  Cheesy

$1508.78 worth of trades in the first week of our Uniswap listing.

That's actually far less than were sold on the Dogeparty side, as strange as it may sound.

I learned a few important things about how liquidity pools work, at the cost of about $800... Its been quite a boot camp, "out of the frying pan, into the fire"-type experience.

Current liquidity pool stats

Total SHIT: 285,473
Total ETH: 0.082

The hardest part is marketing to the ETH people, and watching massive price differentials open up between the Dogeparty and Ethereum sides. You'd think this would create some kind of arbitrage opportunity and spur SHITCOIN holders into action, and indeed a few bridgers did take advantage of it. Would be much more compelling to ETH people if the price on Uniswap actually dropped lower than on Dogeparty, even if it wipes out all my ETH liquidity in the process.

Anyway.

This is kind of interesting, 8 UFL players have been signed to the NFL since the conclusion on the league championship game, last Sunday. They are:

Jalen Redmond (DE) - Vikings,
Gareon Conley (CB) - Cowboys
Willie Harvey Jr. (LB) - Cowboys
Liam Fornadel (G) - Patriots
Daewood Davis (WR) - Panthers
Jake Bates (K) - Lions
Kohl Levao (OL) - Jets
Jacob Saylors (RB) - Giants

Not a whole lot, but it goes to show that the UFL is fulfilling its role of acting as a "minor league" for the NFL.

It looks like the league will indeed be back for a 2nd year in 2025.

The ONLY Legit coin besides Bitcoin is Monero and that only because it has privacy tech that was slated for Bitcoin (as can be easily researched by reading Satoshi and Hals posts) that was never implemented and if bitcoin ever implements that tech then even Monero will become worthless.

That might be true but there is a CORE TEAM that manages Monero. The Core Team is a close group where new one can join through invitation only. Though they on website that Core Team doesn't get any financial incentive, one need to believe that fact if he thinks Monero is as decentralzied as BTC is which I think is not true.

Nobody is saying Monero is as decentralized as Bitcoin. Besides, Bitcoin also has a "core team" of developers. Its extremely difficult for a random developer to get a commit added to the Bitcoin Core GitHub repository.

Its far more likely that Bitcoin would eventually adopt MWeb ala Litecoin than use Monero's CryptoNote & RingCT.

Obviously nobody was going to lend that amount. Almost makes you wonder why the negatives are necessary. Now he will make a new account as he’s been advised, try to come up with some sort of fake collateral, and try again asking for a lower amount while being trained how to be a more efficient scammer. It’s a case of people thinking they’re protecting the community from accidentally loaning a newbie over a million dollars, when in reality they’re educating a scammer who had 0 chance of ever getting the loan to begin with.

Nobody's gonna lend even $15 to a new account...

Hello, yesterday I tried to contact a new member of technical support, in the main discussion thread, since I don’t have the opportunity to write to him in direct messenger. At this moment I have not received a response. Compensation has also not been received until now.

Now you're a Jr. Member, so perhaps you can message them now.

I know the events are being blamed on the user, but there seems to be much more to it than that, like perhaps some kind of hacker (whether an insider or outsider, we don't know) was able to insert some malicious code into the website & cause people to send coins to addresses that weren't theirs.

If that's your criteria, what about Litecoin?

forgetting to write a solution

The solution is to understand that nobody will ever give you a loan here. Think about it for half a minute: would you ever loan hundreds or thousands of dollars to someone you never met & has no history or reputation to speak of? If you wouldn't, why would somebody else?
