Bitcointalk signatures are nofollow, which means they are useless for SEO

Only do-follow links help with SEO because they tell the search engine to process the website being referred to in the link, which can boost SEO. However, sig campaigns, and by extension all Bitcointalk signatures, do not benefit from this, because do-follow is turned off by the administrator/forum software to prevent spam from being promoted via Bitcointalk.
Post covid I put the link of one of my old website again in my signature and some days later ahrefs score of my website went up. It wasn't life-changing but the difference between old and new score was significant. There are some threads that have very high rank because they are included on some very famous websites and I have posted in such threads. Btw I remember that those links were dofollow from bitcointalk. Idk if theymos changed that recently.
682  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your view on abortion? on: October 09, 2023, 04:18:41 PM
Now, listen to me, this is the topic that I have seriously discussed many times in real life.
According to religions, abortion is a sin but life is farm from paradise.

1. If woman was raped and got pragnanted that way, it's definitely up to mother whether she wants to give a birth of do an abortion, no one can blame her because she was impregnated forcefully, without her will.
2. If Doctor tells couples that their child will have birth defect, then it's up to couple to decide whether they want to dedicate their life to that kid or do an abortion. Personally, I think that no one can blame mother for abortion in this case because child with birth defect usually makes life pure hell for parents and child also suffers from defect, some of them include pain, disabilities and etc.
3. If mother got pregnant accidently via one night stand and she doesn't want baby, then abortion is probably okay, probably, because child will suffer from growing up without loving parents and most likely she will be abused by a mother or stepfather. But this part is very debatable and I don't have fixed opinion about that. There are cases when mother doesn't want baby but grandparents take it as their responsibility to grow them, so, it's very debatable.

Though I believe that if this rules are carefully and effectively applied to our gambling and betting each and every day and time we gamble, it will indeed make us responsible gamblers, and not just responsible, but may also make us win much more than we lose.
Your win to loss ration can't be positive when you gamble, especially when you gamble regularly. No advice can stop your loses and increase profit, absolutely none, the only way to minimize loss is to minimize the number of coins you deposit, the frequency of deposits you make and just gamble as little as possible.

Btw the best deal is to only gamble for fun. Look at gambling like a commision you have to pay to play games. Never chase to win jackpot or increase your deposited amount. Just chill, relax and get some fun. Personally, I get fun from playing live casinos, it's a great experience when you play blackjack and interact with dealers at the same time.
684  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: How does the bitcoin mining industry work? on: October 09, 2023, 03:25:24 PM
Because mining is a very small market. Intel tried and then got out because the profits were just not there. Lack of profits was not the ONLY reason, they were doing other corporate changes but if it was making money or they thought in the short term it might, then that division might have been kept around.
Is it really that small? I'm sure you remember that in 2017 there was a boom of GPU mining and people were buying so many GPUs that Nvidia and some AMD graphics cards were not only out of stock everywhere but it had crazy prices too. I wanted to change my old GPU and buy a new one for gaming in 2017 and I simply couldn't let myself to pay thousands of dollars in a graphics card.

Btw big mining companies were mostly mining via ASIC and individuals were mining ethereum and nicehash via GPU. There was a time when Nvidia was out of stock. I don't know if their manufacturing quantity is very low because that's strange if Intel found no big demand but probably if their business model will be like, one miner per person and this miner will have normal ROI, then they may find big interest.

If that same $9000 miner can get you $12500 TODAY you sell it and use those funds to build more. Perhaps you keep that one and sell the next.
That's a good point, especially if rumors that Bitmain creates miners, uses them for a while and then sells them as new is true. If that's true, then that's a perfect profit. But still I don't understand, a decade has passed and we don't have other massive ASIC miner manufacturers on market.

BitFury, The Foundry, ViaBTC is just the pool and luckily they got more share in fact BitFury was also asic manufacturer back couple of year ago, but now they are focused on mining.
They are not just pools. Bitfury, for example, has one of the biggest mining Datacenter in my country with lots of bitcoin miners, so that made me question, if they get miners from Bitmain, then why is Bitmain selling its miners in large quantity to competitors and if they manufacture it themselves, then why don't they sell it like Bitmain does.
686  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [Oct 2023] Fees are lower, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs on: October 09, 2023, 08:13:55 AM
one of the problems is viabtc.com altered the free boost it used to be if you paid at least 11 sats a byte  it would do any size transaction.

now no matter what you pay per byte the limit size trans action is 500 bytes.  these are very small size so there are now always a lot of free accelerations available from them but very few people have a tiny enough tx to use the free one.
Back in 2016 or 2017 I could accelerate any transaction almost anytime, then some months later it got flooded but still I was able to accelerate my transactions if I was fast enough to click on button quickly but then one year later, it was really impossible to accelerate transaction because the 100 limit was immediately reached. Probably, someone or some people were using bots and were immediately accelerating their transactions. Btw ViaBTC had no other option but to use different limiters and requirements in order to get rid of abuse of its free service. I wouldn't return old ViaBTC's accelerator in today's world.

if in the next cycle I hypothetically wanted to pay for something worth $2,000 I guess there won't be much difference between 1 and 4 inputs as far as fees are concerned either, no? How do you see it?
I wouldn't count in dollars, but in Bitcoins. And I remember the days in 2017 when each (legacy) input added about 1 mBTC to the total fee. No matter what the Bitcoin price is, that's a lot, and 1 or 4 inputs would make a huge difference.

My take: It's a lot like cash money: $5 is convenient to buy a coffee, but it gets annoying already to pay for groceries for the week. Paying with a $10,000 bill would raise questions, and I wouldn't want the barista to know I own those ancient bills. So a bit of everything works for me.

Disclaimer: I've never seen a $10,000 bill. I do own a $10 bill though.
Let's say I don't have bitcoins and wanna buy them with my green dollars. I wouldn't be able to count in bitcoins but in dollars if I had to pay my personal $2000 cash.
687  Bitcoin / Mining / How does the bitcoin mining industry work? on: October 08, 2023, 05:46:14 PM
When we talk about Bitcoin Mining, it's impossible to ignore Bitmain. They manufacture one of the most popular asic miners and if anyone starts a mining business, they start with bitmain asic miners, at least it was like that before, can't be confident about today's situation because things have changed and only big corporations profit from mining today.

There are companies like BitFury, The Foundry, ViaBTC and many more who share a big volume of total hashrate. These companies have datacenters all around the world and run their miners to generate coins. But I want to know, do these companies manufacture their own asic miners? Because I don't see them on market, I mostly see Bitmain miners. If these companies manufacture miners, then why don't they sell it like Bitmain does? Or do they buy miners from Bitmain? And I can't understand, why does Bitmain sells miners? Isn't it more profitable to use the investment in asic for only your own benefit and mine with every single equipment instead of selling them?
688  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: October 08, 2023, 09:21:41 AM
The stupidity in “blockchain technology” land. But this is very BULLISH for Bitcoin. Headlines like this is an example that more dumb money will go to shitcoins, then Bitcoin. Buy the DIP, and HODL.


Cardano will probably is not the next Bitcoin because there are better options there but Cardano is not a shit coin. Shit coins are coins like Dogecoin, ShibaInu, Internet Computer (ICP) coin, etc...

Because we are not merely “investing”, and if you ask me, HODLing Bitcoin is something every individual should do “just in case” you need to utilize Bitcoin’s main value proposition. Censorship-resistance. It is something you think you might not need, until you are forced in a situation that you might need it. Cool
What's the point of HODLing bitcoins? Do you think that if we all hodl, the value of coin will go up? Why do you expect increased demand on bitcoin in case of hodl when there are alternative cryptocurrencies? There is no point to hodl money, money has to be in circulation in order for new products to be created and for services to be done. That's how this world works and functions.
689  Economy / Gambling / Re: Crypto Sportsbook to handle large bets? on: October 08, 2023, 08:21:10 AM
I have iver 45 million wagered with stake and 20 million with bc, im looking to switch to a new sportsbook is there any on here that can handle decent limits, i contacted rollbit and a few others and they claim the provider increases them as they wish and theyre legit $200 for NCAAF lol
The only two crypto sportsbook that will 100% handle large bets are Sportsbet.io and Stake.com. Stake is owned by Primedice team. Other casinos that will probably handle large bets are Fortunejack and Bitsler.com because these are two one of the oldest casinos (FJ started business in 2014 and Bitsler in 2015 and FJ still has an ongoing campaign on this forum). But keep in mind that you'll probably have to deal with Know Your Customer documents.
690  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 9 years ago today, an epic battle played out on bitcoin exchanges. on: October 08, 2023, 07:00:41 AM
A whale was played out by a FUD, unbelievable, I mean, we all are humans and make mistakes, but I never heard this story and it is totally new for me. I never heard any relevant story as well, where a whale fell prey to FUD sentiment and sold that much amount of BTC. That's a huge amount.
That man luckily bought bitcoins with his savings when the price of one coin was 8 dollars. I predict he wasn't rich and either way he didn't want to become poor and after all the fud and negative campaigns run by Roger Ver, he decided to take 9 million dollars and leave the game.
There is a big difference between the guy who holded 30K bitcoins in 2015 and there is a huge difference between guy who holds 30K bitcoin today. The one that ownes 30K bitcoin today is no ordinary guy.

I'm not even surprised by the quantity sold. Many who started early in Bitcoin managed to collect many coins, and many also sold them over time.
I remember back in 2016 how one guy lost 20 bitcoin on dice in 5 bets. I had possibility to chat with him and he just said that he is a early adopter and has enough coins not to worry about 20 bitcoins.
691  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain Exchange holding my funds (1.25 BTC) hostage for 45 days already on: October 08, 2023, 06:22:58 AM
Does anyone know what will happen if I deposit coins on blockchain.com wallet and then I receive a message that my funds are locked? Does this deposited money goes in their pocket or are they obligated to donate confiscated coins to government?

By the way, this is for anyone who is going to use blockchain.com wallet. I created BC wallet in 2016 or 2017 and one of my wallet become problematic immediately. When I was logging-in, I would receive email to confirm my login but when I would click on confirmation, it was writing it's successful in green colors but wallet still couldn't load and then there was an error message. I don't know why that could happen but since that day, I think their system doesn't work well technically and it's very dangerous to even use them.
692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: One seed, One casino game. Superstitious or Not? on: October 07, 2023, 12:04:07 PM
I was kind of curious about it so I want to ask the gamblers here.
Do you use the same method? One seed, one game?
Is this just some kind of a superstitious belief or is it really working?

You probably mean client seed that's used in provable fair system. There are casinos that force you to change your seeds once in a while, for example Bitsler does that. I have tried to frequently gamble with one seed for about a week and then I tried changing seeds 3-4 times a day for about a week and what I can tell you is that I still lost and didn't notice any improvement in outcome from bet.
By the way, games are purely based on luck and it doesn't matter whether you change your seeds or not, it doesn't increase your winning chance.

694  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress] on: October 07, 2023, 07:45:21 AM
Most surprising is what the man who was UK defense secretary throughout most of the war (in office until Aug.31st of this year) had to say about the status of Ukraine's forces. He called for Zelensky to enact a different policy and to essentially inject younger blood into the fight.

"The average age of the soldiers at the front is over 40. I understand President Zelensky's desire to preserve the young for the future, but… just as Britain did in 1939 and 1941, perhaps it is time to reassess the scale of Ukraine's mobilization," Wallace wrote
Kill your men, left women without men at first and then bring hundreds of thousands of black people in your country to pleasure women and have babies and ruin ethnicity. What a solid plan man. I sometimes think that it's done for purpose.

The US is losing its direct power over the world. This is being shown by the fact that Russia has bypassed the sanctions. Even the US is purchasing Russian products indirectly, from other countries who purchased them from Russia.
War is a business where the product are people and weapons. I woudn't say that the US is losing its power. If the US manage to destroy ethnicity of Russia and Ukraine, left them without men, then America is the winner.

It's like I have been saying for a long time now. Consider the Biden regime in Washington. They said that the sanctions were designed to weaken Russia. And they showed reasons why. But do you think that they were so stupid as to not understand what the sanctions would really do? The whole sanction thing was designed to strengthen Russia, BRICS, and maybe a new Russo-Ukraine State that is about to appear.
Are you really sure that life is getting better in Russia and sanctions don't work? Are you from Russia? Did you feel the positiveness of sanctions on your pocket? Some of my friends are in Russia and they don't feel better since this war.
695  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you find new meme coins early? on: October 06, 2023, 08:09:36 PM
I'm a certified meme coin hunter, and my radar is always on the lookout for those hidden gems that might become the next Pepe. Speaking of which, I remember stumbling upon Pepe on Twitter when the buzz and sentiment were off the charts, and I just couldn't resist aping in, and it paid off!

Twitter is just one of the treasure troves, but there are plenty of other ways to spot those potential success stories. So, my fellow crypto meme seekers, I want to hear your strategies. How do you go about discovering those up-and-coming meme coins before they skyrocket? Care to share your secret sauce?
Just check coins listed on Coinmarketcap and Pancakeswap, that's how I found shiba inu but I wasn't smart enough to invest in that coin at a right time. Reddit is a strange source, you can't trust anyone but there was one coin that I don't remember, every redditor was commenting: we are going ape, ape to the moon, bla bla bla and it really went to the moon.
696  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Knowledge vs hodlings on: October 06, 2023, 07:13:06 PM
Personally I can say that knowledge in cryptocurrencies isn't very beneficial because ask yourself, why is bitcoin popular? And then compare possiblities of bitcoin to Monero. Everyone will tell you that bitcoin is decentralized, anonymous, etc... But then there is a monero. Logically, Monero should be the number one cryptocurrency and not bitcoin because monero is decentralized where every user is anonymous by default. Then there is an ethereum that offers a lot of features unlikely to Bitcoin but still bitcoin is number one currency. I can't actually understand it. I don't say that bitcoin is bad, no, it's great but I used to think that Monero and Ethereum had potential to surpass bitcoin. That's why I think that bitcoin hodling is more important than bitcoin knowledge.
697  Economy / Economics / Re: If They Can Pay off their Debts, Why Don't They? on: October 06, 2023, 06:13:29 PM
There are so many reasons for it, for example, if a country has some political clashes between their politicians or something in between their country's politics, then this should be also a reason.
The other reason is a relationship with different countries, which means if a country has a strong relationship with a country and between them there comes a clash, then the exchange of their export and imports between the countries stops. So, this should be also a reason.
The third reason is the country's increasing population if the population of a country increases then they don't want to pay their dept.
Because there will be more spending in a country on their health care, the security of their country, the pensions they are offering to its country's people, etc. So, I think these will be the reasons for the countries which have, but they didn't want to pay. There will be many more, but I have discussed some here.
When there is a strong economical relationship between countries, even if war starts, business still stays the business. For example, my country had war with Russia, lost its territories and people died but still, there is a very strong economical bond because we are neighbors and get cheap food and natural resources from Russia.
Btw I don't understand this debt thing: Greece, Italy and Spain have one of the highest debt burdens but people from my country immigrate to work in those countries while my country isn't in debt burden. This makes me to think that debt isn't as bad as they say. The only country where life is bad is Brazil from list.

According to this new policy they are only trying to protect customers from scam and fraudsters.
Do you believe this is the case or they have interior motives behind it to suppress crypto access?
They don't try to protect their customers from scams and fraudsters. It's hilarious how they decline crypto-related payments but at the same time they advice you to use another service provider but warn you that if you use them, you may lose your money and not be able to get back. Isn't this hilarious? They try to make people fear of crypto but hug their centralized service because it is politics, money and power that they want in their hands.

This title is funny to me because none casino will stop claiming that they are provably fair. That's the whole idea behind that, they lie and cheat to earn more money. Also, as far as I understood, it's possible to make your casino provably unfair while users won't be able to claim that it's unfair, there was similar case on Fortunejack if I am right.

This is really good that he does at least some good things along with manipulating the market but somehow in my mind I still think that he does this in order to increase his influence over people and strengthen his overall image, make himself appear cool, Elon the savior. This kind of intentions behind "kind" actions is what I really hate but it's better to do something kind rather than do nothing or bad.

I think if anyone truly wants to bring something good to this world will be to help the poor nations by giving them quality education that includes trade skills too, show them the European lifestyle to implement in their countries instead of huge corruption, nepotism... Then the hunger will be lessened hugely.
