In my continuing quest to play a little at just about every casino that is on bitcointalk I popped in here for a bit.
Graphics are great but a bit CPU / GPU intensive on lower spec machines.
Had a good time, dropped some coin was up a bit and cashed out with no issues.

Why don't you mention the names of the people you entrust to add them to your trust.
No need, with the next update via LoyceV trust list, you can easily identify who he added or removed from his custom trust. OP just want to point out that, this is a virtual world, an individual could be trustworthy in the real world but isn't on the forum, vice versa. Nevertheless no one has the right to tell you who to or who not to add to your trust list, the choice is yours to make. Choose wisely though as you're not indicating their feedback as trustworthy but also giving them your vote for DT. Said much better then I did. I was just trying to get a feeling of additions. -Dave |

There are a few people here, that I have had dealings with in the real world, with 0 interactions here. Not even posting on the same boards. They are mostly altcoiners. Do I add them? I know ‘IRL’ they can be trusted and have good judgement. Here, is a bit more difficult. Have they left any feedback on others? If so, you can use those to assess their judgement on others. If you agree: add them to your Trust list. Have you seen my Trust list viewer ( direct link) yet? You can use it to see who others have on their Trust list. Theymos' Trust list could be a good starting point. And: Don't confuse your Trust list with Feedback though: - Feedback: people you trust (or don't trust: red)
- Trust list: people who's judgement on others you trust (or don't trust: ~)
I have seen it and I get what you are saying about feedback vs. trust list. What I am getting at is, picking on the 1st name in your trust list. Why do you trust dooglus? Have you seen his posts here and trust his judgement on others because of it? Have you had trades with him and see how he treats others in trading and how he responds to them? Is he generally a useful person on the forum and helps out others? OR have you known him as a tech geek for 10 years and think he is great person, even if you have no real idea how they are really behaving here? Remember, he is your friend, you are much more likely to give the person you have known and hung out with for a decade the benefit of the doubt if he is generating a bit of spam and pumping some alt coin then you would give to me an unknown person on a forum. That is just human nature. I have somewhat not kept up on what they are doing here because they just have different interests in crypto then I do. We really don't discuss it when hanging out. Since I only had my trust set to the default it didn't matter now it does since someone may take a look and / or be influenced by who I put there and I am trying to get a feel for it. Which also, just tripped a thought across my brain. How many people here know and interact with others on a regular basis? Might be interesting to find out. -Dave |

So, more of Dave’s ramblings but with an interesting twist. As I mentioned in another thread, it’s only recently that I have changed my trust list off of default trust. Most of the people I have added I have had some interaction of some sort on the forum with. Others I have seen their posts and their actions and added them.
There are a few people here, that I have had dealings with in the real world, with 0 interactions here. Not even posting on the same boards. They are mostly altcoiners. Do I add them? I know ‘IRL’ they can be trusted and have good judgement. Here, is a bit more difficult.
In the end it probably does not matter. But yet again, it’s something we probably have to think about and might warrant some discussion.

I would also say there is a 5th reason for faucets (similar to #1 to test sites) but to test new games.
Before I send over some BTC (or any type of money) because they put in a new game, let me play it for a bit 1st.
I can stand in a real casino and watch a table game for however long I like to try to figure out if it's for me.
I can look at a real slot and watch other people play and get the same feel.
Just a new game on my monitor, it's tougher to get a feeling for it.

Lets face it, if their account wakes up they may or may not be the same user that they were back then. Some old users, like guitarplinker, I've trusted for a long time. He's on my Trust list because I value his ratings, even though he's barely been active in the past years. If you're afraid someone is going to be someone else when the accounts reactivates, he shouldn't have been on your Trust list in the first place. I'm fairly certain the users on my list are unlikely to sell their account. Barely active is not the same as not active. I'm talking last login back in summer 2016. That's who I was looking at to add to my list. Someone who from 2012 to 2014 was active and here every day helping and posting. From 2014 to 2015 was somewhat active and posted here and there to help people and trade And by mid 2016 had done 25 posts for the year and then stopped. No idea why, possibly something in life. Possibly someone here pissed them off enough to leave, could be anything and everything. -Dave |

Well that's kind of backwards. You get to guess for your first few hundred reported posts, then we tell you what we think is good and what we think is bad. I would like to think that after 300 good reports I would have figured it out. Ah, well off to report some more. -Dave WooHoo up to 200 good reports. Yeah, it's not much compared to some of you but still I added a lot in the last 30 days. You have reported 203 posts with 99% accuracy (200 good, 3 bad, 0 unhandled). Do not worry about your accuracy too much; one accurate report is worth many inaccurate reports. -Dave |

BPIP loads very slow all day long... Is it just for me?
Slow for me too, I actually thought it was my laptop so I didn't say anything. Slow at home on cable. Slow at work on our fiber run. -Dave |

Bumping this because in the 11 days since he has left another 15 negative feedback's for people who supported the flag against him, or spoke out against him.
Yes, I know stop feeding the troll.
But I really think it's time to get some mods on board with a nice ban for him.

What art you trying to do / why do you need 2BTC of testnet that you can't do with .2 or .02 or .002?

I can't really speak to online books, but in LV and other physical books it used to be easier.
The internet / tech has made the lines move, for lack of a better word 'smoothly'.
-6 to -5 to -4 etc all the way to -1 at times, as more data is processed by the people making the lines and more data on the best coming in is compiled.
In the old days, you saw a line at -5 it could stay there for days, then overnight it's a -1 and you are standing there going WTF?
So now, yeah it's probably still POSSIBLE, it's not going to be EASY.

Since I am now wearing the mintdice sig I figured I would come back and try again.
No issues this time with the excessive CPU use, so it was either a transient thing or they fixed it.
Played for a while, had a good time.
Smooth games, nice interface.

Besides, the weather is so nice and my motorcycle is back up and running...
Which is wayyyy more important then anything here. I'm on a 2007 VFR 800, what are you riding? -Dave |

Or the farmer could work with other account farmers, the more accounts involved, the harder it would be to detect them.
Yep, and the other "issue" would also be sig campaigns like the mintdice that I am wearing now. For a hero, it's $2 / post but max 25 posts week paid. 5 of which are supposed to be in the gambling sections. Hate to say it, but although some people think limiting # of posts cuts down on spam, it just makes farming easier because the bar is that much lower. I hit the 25 posts, get my $50 then switch to the next account say with bitdice get my 30 posts for another $85 for 30 posts and then sports bet for $100 for 25 posts. So 80 posts a week in my 3 "real" accounts gets me $235 Total that up it's $12,000 /year for what can be considered part time work. Adding in the "Stupid" accounts making 80 shit posts that the 3 accounts are talking too does not take up too much time because they are not what you really care about. Double that you are at 160 real posts, say 160 fake posts and $24,000 a year. Using those #s you have 320 posts a week, / 40 hours is 8 an hour. Assuming you hit the 160 fake posts, which is a lot. Because you can respond to other low thought posts and the ones in that are just replies in the gambling forum. I have no idea why LoyceV chimed in here but look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5176404.0Newbie question, about $1 million USD of BTC from 2014 worth 30x that today, just does not scan as a "legit" post in my opinion but it has a lot of responses. Take a look at what I replied to earlier today: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5176435.msg52189597#msg52189597 I really had to think before replying to it. Is this legit, is it not? In the end I replied because it is asked a lot in the HW sections so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Probably a waste of my time, but I can at least defend it to a certain extent. Take a look at 1st post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5170721Hmmmm, newer account asking about setting up an exchange. Seen that a lot, no big deal. Everyone want to get rich doing something like that. Now, look at his post history. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2532622;sa=showPostsYeah..... Thus ends my Saturday night incoherent ramblings. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. -Dave |

At this point, I have no idea. Was considering dropping some of the domains... they do add up. :/
Could you at least point the DNS someplace else?Or just null them? The stratum ports are still active so people who have forgotten to change out their backup pool might still be wasting hashes / electricity mining here. -Dave If the ports are still open, I assume it's working most likely. Maybe just not enough hashrate to find blocks?
No idea what type of node it's talking to but it's not a synced BTC node:
[2019-08-17 18:57:06.001] Pool 0 difficulty changed to 4095.9
[2019-08-17 18:57:06.078] Network diff set to 5.65T
Possibly, or it's talking to a node that is not properly synced, or it's been compromised in some way and mining who know what, etc. Since WK has vanished, there are no front end stats, etc. I just figured that since you had control of the domains it would be a "good for the community" type thing to help prevent wasted mining. Since we don't know I would err on the side of caution. But, also as I keep saying, we are not and this forum is not your mom. It's not the forums job to stop you from doing something stupid, like mining to a pool that may go nowhere. -Dave |

Anyone know where can I get the Whatsminer M3 custom firmware that can ignore the fan speed check? Or I can only use the fake fan rpm sensor for immersion. Thanks for the advice.
1) You should move this to mining support. You might get more help there.2) This question comes up a lot. https://www.techidiots.net/notes/fake-fan-sensorIf you are going to do an oil immersion just do a quick board like that. There are a few on pre-made ones ebay and other places. -Dave Thank you Dave. I've seen this page before. The only thing I curious about is the M3 control board has 3pins slot. If I plug in the fake fan RPM sensor, will it be working like antminer S9. https://imgur.com/TIriaM9I've post new thread in the Mining support section and will delete this one soon. Thanks mate. As far as I know it will be fine, if you look at the picture it's just 3 wires. + and - and speed https://www.techidiots.net/pictures/projects/fake-fan-sensor/20150213-213225.jpg-Dave |

I didn't realise the 3 day activity requirement, that kills my point in another post - I'd better editit.
I still think it would be handy to have a trading trust ranking, rather than a forum policeman ranking.
I posted about something similar: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5154576.msgTrust for trades and nothing but trades. Keep the other data points, just add one more for trading. Did not seem to gain much traction. @LoyceV with all the data you have scraped, can you do a venn diagram with people who are active in meta with the people who are active in the marketplace (and the sub forums)? Just wondering how many of us are active in both places. If you are here but not there you don't care as much, and if you are there but not here, you never saw the thread. -Dave |

If you ask me, if a user is trustworthy, and has received good trust from users in the past and for some reasons is probably off the forum for a while, leaving them with positive trust for their past actions and trades is actually a good idea. The right to to distrust them would be if such account wakes up and proves dishonest or not worth trusting anymore, probably if it's proven the account was hacked or stolen No one would mind leaving satoshi positive trusts even though he's not been here for years.  Yes, satoshi and others are the exceptions. We are talking average everyday user. Had good trades, had good dealings, went away for whatever reason and now they are back. And DT1 & DT2 people have them in their trust list. This gives them the benefit of the doubt. I am asking if that is a good thing. I know I have said it before, we are not your mom, it's not our job to protect you, do your own research. On that same note, if people are actively telling people that "this person can be trusted" when we have no idea after that long if they can be because it's been years. As I said, just my ramblings. And trying to get a feel for a trust list. -Dave |
