There are a lot of people working on great projects, but there are also people working on junk and marketing it as Bitcoin.
Bcash is the most hostile fork. It's not about to chase anyone out of the community if they don't hate on BCash with the same fierce fiery hatred. Take the example with others forks...It's just how the Bcash community is trying to misappropriate the Bitcoin brand.
Other than that, people are free to do whatever they want, you don't see the Bitcoin community chasing the others +1500 altcoins communities
You said Bcash is cancer and a useless coin with no future. (I still have a screenshot somewhere, I can search for) This is a reason I used to say your comments are controversial...
It's funny you say this but you should also add:
a smear campaign organized by people associated with Roger Ver against Blockstream using @bitcoin on Twitter spreading vicious rumors and posting fakes screenshots from Blockstream website, (or telling during conference Bitcoin kills babies...)
back on the topic (because I wasn't looking for a BTC vs Btrash battle)
You must be kidding, there is a difference between someone interested to know how the domain names of the Bitcoin community are safe from Roger Ver army and someone waiting for the next "enemy of Bitcoin" to show themselves. I can go on Twitter without waiting a minute to find someone from bcash to troll. I also perfectly know how money can be used to buy people opinion. But I'm going to believe in your intention towards the Bitcoin community

Just wondering... Cobra turned into a Bitcoin Cash fan. Don't think I am trolling, but....  Wasn't the "Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin" tweet an April Fools prank? That's his last tweet (from today): Very strange, but it seems the @Bitcoin account was suspended, and then deleted by Twitter, and somebody registered it just now completely fresh. I hope the new owner supports the true Bitcoin, and recognises that Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin Cash, not Bitcoin! https://twitter.com/CobraBitcoin/status/982980460526690305It was a "subliminal message", if I can say, and not really an April fool prank I find some of his claims are controversials, you can find some contents from him telling how "Bitcoin is great" to "There was a long need for a blockchain good for payments, that makes certain tradeoffs to achieve that, and I think from a UX point of view, Bitcoin Cash has much better chances of winning the upcoming payments war than LN." |

Who has the full right to the domain names Bitcointalk and Bitcoin.org Who control the registrar accounts?
Theymos or Cobra?
And the same question about the database/servers/etc.
And finally, what is the role of Cobra regarding Bitcointalk and Bitcoin.org
I am sorry if it's something private and so I will understand not getting an answer but I am just interested to know for some reasons

The irony is you joined 2 weeks ago and your posts type is "I joined the airdrop,, nice project" "Very nice project, i hope this project will succes very soon and getting a huge community by Airdrop program"
In fact, all your posts are like the ones I posted above. (or at least 50% as I can't see most of the section in the forum. Do you know the adage "Look at yourself in a mirror"?
You are the type of people who join this forum to grab the free money and make it their cash cow, without getting any interest in crypto (other than cheating, scamming for money, making garbages here and there)

With P2P or things like Purse, fraud is really common, so I'm looking for a reputable reseller like Gyft.
With Purse? How? If you're talking about the possibility to get a buyer using a stolen card, then, I am not going to say it's impossible, but it's very hard now. They link your IP to a card, if you try to use a card you usually don't need, they will make the life hard for you. So hard that even if you're the legit owner of the card they won't let you use it easily. Not even talking about using a prepaid VVC |

@rfkinline
Banks don't have the same interests in cryptocurrencies than the population.
The major reason banks are looking after the "crypto technology" are about the secure transactions, saving on costs (up to 30% according to studies, so multiple million dollars saved per year).
Notice I say "crypto technology" and not "cryptocurrencies" because 1) they can't issue a currency not recognized by the country and 2) they are more looking to get their own tech and their own ecosystem (note: JPS Morgan has its own ERC20)
The population is thinking differently.
You can see a part interested in for the speculative point (making money with their speculation) This part is not so interesting. And you have another part concerned, as it allows them to get banked (millions of people worldwide are unbanked) OR to get unbanked. Many people are just tired with banks since a decade and they only want a system allowing them to live without the need of a bank account, and without any control from govt (directly or not)
This is why the cryptocurrency system comes. The real roots are in the anarchist and cypherpunk groups

Did you know that what you are suggesting already exists? Bitcointalk isn't the only forum on the w.w.w.

@RGBKey I own a Ledger and believe me I didn't know it is possible to use on a smartphone device and have no idea how to do since it needs a USB cable (?) @BitMaxz Yeah, but we must give a chance to any new service/product, more we have more it makes the crypto adoption possible. Most of the people find not easy to use Bitcoin so providing a friendly product help with this. @karel88l I searched for but didn't find a photo of the prototype, but apparently, it's a project that started in December 2017 and it was taking pre-orders beginning in Feb 2018. So I am going to believe if it was to set up a scam they should have started already and we would have heard about Tip: Add hole for keyring https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DVQP4RIV4AEoCE_.jpg@HCP I hadn't read this. I'm confused, it's contradicting Anyway I will buy it still to test, I'm looking for a new toy. |

Did anyone hear about this new hardware wallet for iOS, Android and mobile devices? It's brushed aluminium and weatherproof There is a third party exchange within the XEEDA App to exchange your coins as well a biometric scanner You can store Bitcoin but not only, Zencash and some others as well If any of you wants to gift me one, I will accept  https://www.xeeda.io/XEEDA is designed with a focus on accelerating the adoption of cryptocurrencies. XEEDA offers premium security without sacrificing ease of use. Your smartphone is something that you take with you everywhere. XEEDA is designed to easily connect to your smartphone and enables you to secure your digital assets. Unlike other hardware wallets that only work with your computer, you can make secure transactions anywhere and anytime using your smartphone and XEEDA.
In order to make a transaction in Bitcoin, you need to sign that transaction with your cryptographic key. Your cryptographic keys are stored in a secure hardware environment in XEEDA’s hardware wallet. Every time you want to initiate a transaction in the Bitcoin network, you can securely confirm the transaction using XEEDA.  |

The set up is currently fine. To enable less than 1 will just create a weakness to the system, and people will jump immediately on it to abuse the system, which so will become not effective as it supposed to be. ut many of them want to participate and say "thank you" to other users This is where members are confused. It's not a Facebook "Like" button l. The merit points are supposed to be given to posts you think "merit" some points. It is different than a post you like. I prefer to give some points to members who I think comment perfectly on a point, even if I disagree with their opinions. Instead of giving points to a member who comments with "to the moon sir" even if I agree/like with him/the post. if you make the system to allow for example half a merit, or 0.1 or 0.3 merit points like you propose, I am going to tell you, in 3 months people will ask for 0.00001 and so on. And to be honest, in my opinion, people who aren't happy with how it is today should blame their buddies, cousins, mother, father wife, grand ma' etc for abusing the forum during a long time. |

Malta is only geographically located in the EU. But they have very loyal tax legislation. We all think that Japan supports the use of cryptocurrencies, but it is not. Perhaps all cryptocurrency exchanges will be registered in offshore zones and this is the only chance for all bitcoin users to restore the popularity of cryptocurrencies.
I don't know much about Japan but It's not because a country is trying to set up some legislation that it doesn't support the topic. Regulation of technology is a trending topic, it's what we call "Regtech" Additionally "offshore", as we know it, doesn't exist anymore since Panama papers and even before. The banking privacy doesn't really exist anymore unless you use some illegal or not ethics values. |

3. the development is centralised to one team (distributed but not decentralised) They represent the majority. and 74% of the crypto users agree with. we can't have 1 million of dev. there is only 1 captain on a boat. Did you really think Bitcoin could evolve with consensus? do you think people like Roger ver have the mentality to use consensus? Do you know what he said yesterday in a conference? Bitcoin kills babies,  everyone was laughing. ridiculous, how do you want to debate with people like this. Look at GNU/Linux as well, so they should use consensus too, but look, nobody, agree with each other, one of the reasons we have +100 OS is because, at some point, a disagreement comes. And it's similar also to the community, you have the Fedora camp, the Archlinux camp fighting with the Debian camp, and so on... I think it's a popular problem with almost everything related to GNU/OPEN SOURCE But yeah we all have our own opinion, it doesn't hurt to debate. But I still say, Bcash is a hostile fork, and perhaps the only one in the Bitcoin series... LN is not the only thing , it needs to be considered. Increasing the block size, to get like 40 transactions per second, will do nothing compared with how many transactions per second Visa or Mastercard transaction can support (visa 25,000 per second, and can go up to 50,000) it's a solution for babies who plan to stay babies. What will we see in some months or years: scalability problem again! We need a 150GB block! But it doesn't fix the original problem, the only wise solution is layer 2 solutions. |

I am not sure what the OP is trying to say with "ICO script" I think there is confusion with his terminology. Your site isn't anything more that just a PSD template (with just 1 page, I can do the same with a Tumblr blog). Any generic template can be like this one, I mean there is nothing special, and there are many other better than the one you posted. |

Helping newbie investors to prevent scams can help our community because if they see bitcoin in their first invest are scam they would lose their trust in this kind of investment so as soon as possible help newbies to start in bitcoin journey. Bitcoin is a currency and can't really be a scam. What people are doing with is another thing. But perhaps if some people in the Bitcoin community could stop firstly to consider Bitcoin as an investment and their cash cow it could help. These same persons considering Bitcoin as an investment are misleading people and giving false hope. Nowhere on the white paper, nowhere from Satoshi you will see something labelling Bitcoin as an investment. This is the sad thing, from a currency you turn it into a speculative asset. Guess why you rarely see cryptographers commenting on Bitcoin?

Well, we are all humans and make mistakes from time to time and so we learn from it. But in his case, it was a really really big mistake.
As he said, he is a tech guy and not a guy for management and other things
Some people can't accept the fact that they can't do everything for the company and they need to rely on staff.
At least, he doesn't look really interested in crypto as for today and he is focusing only helping the MtGox bankruptcy

Yeah true, however, it's always more easy to deal using your keyboard than face to face. This is the first time I regret to not have an account there. He can't talk about everything as he isn't allowed to by the court and the current investigation. At least an "I am sorry" is better to read than an "I don't care" Can you imagine if the same happens here with Satoshi  |

This account is now managed by Bitwala GmbH, previously Safaru B.V.
What do you mean? Safaru and Bitwala isn't the same entity? Or does this company operate other subsidiaries and now Bitwala separates its activity from this branch? ...the services of Safaru B.V., a private company with limited liability... the services of Safaru B.V., a private company with limited liability It's what the T.O.S. are showing |
