The last mixer I saw that claimed to use coinjoin, didn't use coinjoin. In this case, I see many red flags: despite being a brand new website, they claim to be able to coinjoin 100 Bitcoin. Doing that would require several other users to coinjoin the same amount at the same time, which isn't realistic.
@OP: can you sign a message proving ownership of anything close to 100 Bitcoin? My gut feeling tells me the most likely scenario after someone deposits 100 Bitcoin is an exit scam. And it will happen at much lower amounts too.

Did you come up with this BS on your own?

"The blockchain is insecure"

I don't think that's a bad thing. Local board users won't get any votes from the majority of users who don't read that board, so it's good that some votes reach the local boards if the user is the best match for the category (from your perspective).

For next time, post in this topic:
The link to my topic is also shown to proxybanned users in your screenshots.

I've been accused of being a scammer many times, by people who ask to be whitelisted. It's understandable: I don't know of any other forum that asks new users to pay before they can post.

Technically, paying to remove the proxyban doesn't whitelist them. Being whitelisted has more perks (such as less time between posts and higher PM-limits).

I consider myself serious about Bitcoin, and I would never pay to join any forum.

Volunteer

That's not good. Kids can and should sleep in their own bed, and if you don't do that early enough, it'll be hard to change later.

I don't know. Luckily, they're not very efficient, so chances are that stops them from collecting too much information.

"This guy has money on a Swiss bank account" makes him less of a target than "this guy has money that can't be frozen".

The logging should be for their own employees, not the rest of the population.

Large text files aren't meant to be "opened", it's meant to search. If you tell me what balances you're looking for, I'll get you a smaller file. If it has to start with "1b" (case insensitive), I'll leave out the rest.

If anything, Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source shows that not many good posts are unmerited.

There are many times more users with high Activity and no earned Merit, than Newbies who earned 50 Merit on their first post. It's a rare thing. I have enough sMerit to create 48 96 Newbies, give them 50 Merit each, and vote for myself in the "Fail of the Year" category. And if I do that, it'll be blatantly obvious. So I don't think this is likely to be abused in this way.

If you notice irregularities, you should post them here.

For most people reading this, it's probably too late already. Since I started with Bitcoin, I kept my real identity away from my online identity. But still, I wish I would have been more thorough, such as using Tor by default. Once your privacy is compromised, you'll never get it back.

In my experience, exercising your right to privacy in real life is generally considered to be a nuisance. It makes you the exception, while it should be the other way around. Most people are so used to it, they don't even understand how dumb it is to say "I have nothing to hide". If everyone would value their privacy, social media wouldn't exist.

That's not my experience. In many cases, "flexing their wealth" is more like faking their wealth.

That's actually a danger to crypto owners: I am required to report my finances to taxes, but the tax agency doesn't log which of their employees access what data.

Be very careful there! I don't know how you get pure H2SO4 in your house, but adding water releases a lot of energy > heat > splashing.

If you show me a high ranking member who hasn't earned 50 Merits, I'll show you a member who's either been offline for years, or who's posts aren't worth reading.

So all the bounty spamming Newbies with countless accounts with 1000 Activity and 0 Merit can influence the voting? Activity is easy to farm, Merit isn't.

That's true. And if it's discovered, they'll get tagged for it.

Users like Abutaleb628 (882 Activity) or Semar Mesem (1148 Activity) have no business voting.

I'm not using it myself, but that's what I mean.

I'd like to see the same test, but with multiple washers tightened together by a bolt. Can you still separate them after they've been red hot and cooled down?

What exactly did you use? Pure H2SO4 isn't very corrosive to steel, try diluted H2SO4

Thanks for the correction. Now it's 95.62% and 94.82% Super bumps, which is more in line with my expectations. It also shows that bumps from posting are very small compared to bumps from clicking the bump button.

The act happened in 2018, not 2022.

It's always been like that, if all you know is someone's Bitcointalk username. If he doesn't come back, there's nothing you can do.

If OP creates accurate Flags and posts evidence in this topic, I'll Support the new Flags.

It's important to keep the Flag system accurate, so it doesn't end up like the mess the rest of the Trust system is. See:

He didn't just remove this Trust exclusion, he wiped his entire Trust list.

This was his first post this year. My guess is he moved on to another account by now, to get rid of his own negative feedback.

You're right, this is Flag abuse. I've Opposed both of htem.
@NeuroticFish: can you reconsider your Support for these incorrect and unproven Flags?

That's 12.88% Super bumps.

That's 22.41% Super bumps.

Thanks for sharing statistics. The results surprised me, I would have expected the Super bumps to contribute more than the Mini bumps.

DO THIS

That's not entirely true: this scenario still protects you against a $5 wrench attack: the password gives you plausible deniability if the Trezor also shows (much smaller) funds when used without password. But indeed, the password doesn't protect you against an attacker who finds your backup if it's on the same piece of paper.

If Dave could find your password in a few hours, I'd say your password isn't strong enough.

Take a look at how Mycelium creates a Single Address Account: it gives you an encrypted PDF that you can email (and print), and shows the 16 character password on the screen. That still requires your device to be secure, but your printer can be in public.

I've never used those lockers, but I assume Amazon designed it so that you can pickup your item, after which it's locked for the next customer. So you can't open it again, and I don't think consumers can send packages to those lockers either (that would enable drug dealers to use them). An anonymous one-time use "post office box" would be really cool for anonymous deliveries though!

Ledger doesn't even offer tamper proof packaging:

Look up the definition of discrimination, it has nothing to do with voting. Not all requirements are discrimination, it simply means some users don't qualify. The reason is pretty obvious: it's easy to create new accounts, so this restriction reduces abuse.

Let me put it this way: the users with dozens of alt-accounts spamming the bounty boards are not the most intelligent and useful users.

Like I said last year:

I'm straight, and my version is much more fun
