Even if the moderator does not take immediate action against such users, you can monitor their behavior in the future, and if they continue with the same behavior, report their new posts to the moderator once more. It is also a good idea to leave a neutral tag on their accounts with a reference to a post containing evidence, just like this one.


If you have some solid evidence that these are alt accounts, it is definitely a good reason to slap on a negative tag because that is an abuse of the bounty campaign rules.

I think DaveF may be the closest to the truth with his explanation. It is a known fact that many banks do not like anything related to crypto.

@OP, since the banking app issued that alert, not your antivirus, it is possible that it is a false positive. What you can do is try restarting your smartphone and launching the bank app first, before any other apps. It is possible that the warning occurred because the Exodus app was running in the background, and the banking app detected it in the phone's memory.

Bitcoin does not use addresses when sending coins but rather an unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs). It does not matter how many different addresses there are; the only thing that matters is that there are UTXOs available that can be used as input in a new transaction and that your wallet has access to the private keys needed to sign the transaction. So, when you want to send all your coins to a single address, your wallet will consolidate all the UTXOs into a single transaction. After this transaction is confirmed on the network, a new UTXO will be created at the destination address, representing the total amount of coins you sent.

It depends on your definition of Bitcoin cloning. You can copy (clone) the entire software and even the entire blockchain and run your own node, but that does not mean you can make alterations to the blockchain or the software. As soon as you try to change some things, it will no longer be Bitcoin but rather an altcoin.

I would not say he is an idiot, but I do not agree with many of his statements. But that does not mean that man is in the wrong all the time.

I have read that saying many times already (not with the same words, but the same meaning). I think it goes as far back as Aristotle (an Ancient Greek philosopher):
"Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work."

Steve Jobs said something similar, too:
"The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle."

Keep in mind that some hardware wallets may have an internal battery, so their memories can store information for a probably longer period.
However, when it comes to preserving information for the long haul, there is nothing quite like the reliability of good old-fashioned paper. Or even better, a sturdy piece of metal with an engraved message.

Ah I see! The OP has been inactive for almost five years and only recently got a new negative. I missed that fact.
Well, I wasn't around back then, and I do not know what the "climate" was like at that time, so I will leave this case for you seniors to discuss. I do not have an opinion on the OP either, and I do not recall ever interacting with them, so I cannot say whether he has changed or not.

Of all the negatives on your profile, it is only JG that bothers you?


So, you also lied about this?

Neither Shishir99 nor BoXXoB have created custom trust lists, so you cannot really use that as an argument. And, unless you have a crystal ball somewhere, there is no way to predict who they will trust or distrust in the future.


So, if I understand correctly, you did not actually ask him to unlock the thread, did you? In that case, there is no evidence of censorship on his part, and this topic was completely unnecessary.


As others have already pointed out, everyone has the freedom to open or lock their threads whenever they feel like it. If you want to add your comment, you can always shoot a PM to the OP and request an unlock or just start a fresh topic. That is how forums work and it has nothing to do with censorship.


You've got it all wrong. I never suggested that everyone should explain their trust lists to the public. My point was simply to understand why you added me on your distrust, so I can address any inaccurate or inappropriate trust actions if they exist, like any other DT member should. However, it appears you are not interested in that, which confirms my suspicion that you might not be using the trust system correctly.

Totally agree. There are some members who could really benefit from using the Ignore feature more often. But judging by the way things are going, it seems like the Reputation board is going to continue resembling a bunch of kids squabbling on the playground.

It is still an improper use of your trust list, much like this case involving LoyceV. Surprising that, despite your time spent on the forum, you still do not know the difference between Trust Feedback and your Trust List.

Take another look at what theymos wrote at the top of the Trust settings page:


and also, I recommend reading LoyceV's Beginners guide to correct use of the Trust system.


I will ask once more: have you noticed  any "inaccurate or inappropriate trust actions" from me? If that is the case, I am more than willing to go through my trust feedback, address any concerns you raise, and provide explanations or corrections where needed.


nutildah, along with other DTs, excluded you because of your Trust system abuse, and since you continue to do so, I am going to exclude you as well, at least for the time being. This will reduce your chances of getting anywhere near the DT.



So, you want to do the same thing you are accusing JG of doing? You will lock the thread when it didn't go the way you hoped.

Just to be clear, I am not particularly interested in the whole BenCodie vs. JG drama, but did you ask him to unlock the thread so you could share your final thoughts? It is a bit absurd to talk about censorship without at least giving it a shot.

People here are not being rude; they are just exceptionally skilled at detecting BS topics like yours from miles away, so they get straight to the point. 

You say you did not know about signature campaigns? That is kind of amusing considering you were well aware of them five years ago! So, what happened? Did you suddenly forget everything in the meantime or what?


But, even if you genuinely did not know or had a momentary lapse in memory, the senior members here have kindly reminded you a few times, like here for example, to do a little digging yourself before launching a new topic for every question that pops into your head. So, are you not reading their advice, or are you just ignoring it and continuing with your question spree?

This reminded me of this thread: "How much longer will JollyGood take to reverse his feedback?"

It did not end well for you back then. Why do you think it will be any different this time?

Sorry OP, but I do not think it was an honest mistake. After you created a topic with plagiarized content, you applied that same post to be merit assessed by fillippone (merit source). You even declared the post as an "opinion", despite the fact that there is not a single word that originated from your own thoughts; it was entirely copy-pasted. This indicates a clear intention to present someone else's work as your own and earn merits to boost your forum ranking.

So, their newly invented "open source" license is called "Source Code Accessibility License" (SCAL)? It looks more like "Source Code Accessibility Misconduct", or better known as SCAM. 

OP had a topic about something similar back in July and also in October last year. Not exactly sure what they are up to, but it is a bit strange that they keep coming back every few months looking for forum posters. It is like they are hiding something or trying to pull off some shady deal they do not want to discuss publicly.

He does not.

A quote from that thread to prove the point:


He removes members from his trust list not because of their feedback but because he did not like their opinions. When asked about it by LoyceV, he provided some bullshit explanation and later changed his mind, claiming he had "given it more thought." 


This is what his trust list looks like now:

---

@BenCodie, I do not mind that you added me to your distrust list; it is your right to do so, but could you please explain why? You are the only member of the forum who has done this, and I am open to reviewing my trust feedback if there is an issue.

Also, why you distrust BoXXoB's judgement? His last use of trust feedback was over three years ago, and I do not see any apparent issues there. Similarly, Shishir99 hasn't even used his trust feedback, so I am curious about your reasons for distrusting them.

Who says I identify as a boy? Did it ever occur to you that I could be a girl? Or maybe non-binary? 
And if you decided to end the argument, then stop arguing! I have not decided anything of the sort.


So your brilliant idea is to create yet another totally useless piece of crap that make no sense at all? I mean, some of these memecoins out there at least have a fanbase, a sense of humor, or they ride the wave of social media trends. But your shitcoin? It doesn't even have that going for it. You are trying to pass it off as something serious, but it is nothing but a comedy show.


Oh, to whom? Only to you? Well, that should tell you something.

Requests are not important, the receiving address in the actual transaction is important. If your friend sent to the wrong address, it is important to act quickly, before the transaction is confirmed on the network. He still has the option to cancel the transaction using the RBF feature. First of all, you need to identify whether the recipient's address is part of your wallet or not.

In my opinion, the very first and most important piece of advice I can give is to be extremely selective when choosing a casino. It is the cornerstone of staying safe when gambling.

Check out the site's reputation and reviews, ask around, and see what other players think of it. A well-established, reputable casino is more likely to keep your funds safe than a fly-by-night operation.
