What's roach talking about now? How great the sunshine feels on your face when trekking through the great outdoors? How he loves the faces his puppy makes when he gives it a bath? Probably something equally as pleasant, I'm sure.

Tulsi Gabbard or Yang are our best hopes for a Crypto/Bitcoin friendly president in 2020. Tulsi bought bags of ether and litecoin and Yang accepts Bitcoin for donations. I like Tulsi's antiwar ideals. Havent paid much attention to Yang past his freedom dividend which is the most insane piece of money printing any candidate has proposed yet so that would take us to the moon and beyond if by some miracle he pulled it off.

Trump is a hero in terms of printing money and devaluing the dollar which is Bullish, but a money printer in chief who was friendly towards Bitcoin would be the ultimate Moon bringer.

All paths lead to moon, even if I am still a bit short term bearish(short term as in next month and a half or so).

https://www.ccn.com/us-presidential-candidate-tulsi-gabbard-bought-crypto-at-height-of-bull-market/

Also for bonus points Tulsi is the only presidential candidate now or in the past off the top of my head that I would smash. If we are gonna have a woman president one day ffs she should be smashable, not a grizzled old war-troll.



I've long thought that a Bernie Sanders / Tulsi Gabbard ticket would be the dem's best chance for success against Trump. Apparently it would also be the best combo for bitcoin as well.

Of course Bernie doesn't know much about bitcoin -- he's never said anything about it. But that's besides the point.

Just another copy/paste masternodes coin with a white paper heavily plagiarizing the original Darkcoin white paper. Wonder why they felt the need to open a new self-moderated thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5164357.0

Completely devoid of any originality of chances for long-term access. Hard pass.

I spend the majority of the month with 0 source merits, and spending largely from my own supply, which is usually sitting in the single digits. I often find myself deliberately rationing my sMerits so I have some to award in the coming days. I am also very aware that since I quite like to merit lower ranked members, I end up skipping over very good posts by more established members, which I would ideally like to merit as well.

If theymos is adjusting source allocations, I would like to humbly request an increase. Smiley

Yeah me too! I would merit your post but I am also out of source merits and want to save my stash for people with, well, less earned merits than me, for starters. I started out with a piddly amount of monthly source merits. Its a special day when I see one pop up when I go to send a merit. I'm thinking about hoarding them all till the 1st so I know when they expire again.

Harry Connecks Jr., Expert NXT Developer

I don't think your ICO team has the blockchain expertise. How about some real professionals:

Harry Connecks Jr. has necks level experience when it comes to conneckting regular people to the blockchain. He's really sticking his neck out by helping us advance our project to the necks stage.
6906  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: TETRA CRYPTOCURRENCY - SCAM - FAKE TEAM on: July 11, 2019, 04:33:53 PM
Was looking at the team pictures without scrolling down, trying to determine which one was fake. Then I saw the chick and I thought, yep, she's way too hot to be working on a shitty, half-assed ICO project, who I doubt even has the money to hire her to fill a role.

Look at Michael Quintero.. He looks just fucking pleased to be here. Just beside himself in happiness and joy.

I forgot to add to my list of fake ICO team members I've seen:

- models
- dating profile pictures (not from this ICO but from another one)

Good job again OP.

How do you recommend we report them? Specifically accounts that belong to thread bumping services?
Thread and/or report message that relates to the thread bumping service.

Archives are very useful for showing duplicate deleted posts as well as any edits after posting.
A thread is not needed but should make it more accessible to look over the information. A much more organized method thereof.

I have done that a couple times:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5160199.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5120454.0

but with the newest time around, they create accounts faster than I can list them. The Vitor Services people bought a huge batch of zero-to-low post aged accounts from 2013-2016 instead of creating them. None of them have a single merit, all are Newbies. Don't know what they're hoping to achieve by doing that exactly.

Medium bodied in character, it has subtle hints of robustness with a dense complexity.
It rolls off the tongue and finishes with a somewhat musty fragrant bouquet with racy acidic overtones....

For a moment there I thought you were talking about roach, but then I noticed you said "racy" and not "racist."

I always thought that would be a great job: writing those pretentious, extravagant wine descriptions you see on the labels of red wine bottles. Here's one for you I made just now, could probably apply to 100 different wines:

A light hearted frolicking of the gustatory senses, Kyuubi Valley Hodler conjures up reminiscings of first love in the fall, dewey meadow fields blanketed by a late afternoon sunshine and crisp autumn air. With delectable notes of cherry, plum, dandelion, sage, dry oak and a hint of saffron, it finishes with a velvet cake-like chocolate coating which stimulates dopaminergic neuroreceptors in a manner not unlike a good whiff of New Jack City era-crack cocaine. The perfect companion for a white meat, fish, lobster, or abalone.

Drinking Lambrusco is pretty much on par with drinking urine, isn't it? Take pee, dilute it, add sugar and carbonate it. Yuck.

What's next? Sparkling rose?

It's an offense to even call it wine.

I didn’t check personally, but I would prefer Lambrusco, for sure.

Having lived in California for much of my life, I miss a good red wine. I moved right when I was becoming a mature enough adult to really value the complex notes and subtleties of a slightly aged cab. In Asia, almost everything wine-related is a generic "red" or "Shiraz" from Australia, which is kind of a shit grape.

As far as "wine" goes, real men drink soju, or sake if you're Japanese.
6911  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: SCAM: Bitcoin SV (BSV) - fake team member and plagiarized white paper on: July 11, 2019, 02:17:09 PM
Who is going to call him a hero? Most people don't like him other than BSV fanboys and most can see through his bullshit. His deception may fool those that don't look close enough but once it's pout under the magnifying glass his evidence is soon exposed for what it is.

Well, according to Google News, Coingeek is a legitimate source of news... (vomit emoji). The news serves 2 purposes:

- attempting to sweep up and convert a few of those who are attracted by the hubbub and genuinely don't know any better
- reinforcing the beliefs of BSVites and reinvigorating their cult with some positive propaganda

BSVism is looking more and more like a cult with each passing day. They are having to block out more and more of the world around them in order to continue staying firm in their belief that Craig is Satoshi. Eventually the house of cards will collapse, but it may hold out for a while. Even Scientology still has members.
6912  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: TradeSatoshi locking out users to steal funds? on: July 11, 2019, 02:02:56 PM
Are there any more complaints from new users about being scammed by Tradesatoshi?

They seem to be selective scamming new users rather than longer established ones.

Yep, new complaints about old problems in the Twitter comments every day:

https://twitter.com/TradeSatoshi/status/1149227186504605698

Here's one of my favorites:



Too bad they didn't have a high-profile signature campaign for other DTs to lambaste... cough cough  Roll Eyes They've scammed dozens or hundreds of bitcointalk users, yet still no flag for them.. Whatever.

Peter McCormack lays out the hard truth:

The reason you haven’t had an alt season is simple. You all know that alts are junk and aren’t worth shit.

You’re hoping for more clueless morons to pump this shit but they aren’t here. 2017 was a one off, we were all clueless.

Buy Bitcoin, go long, STFU!

Hmm... maybe #1 is Red Lobster (?)

- Boromir

I'm not hip enough to get this reference.
6915  Other / Meta / Re: Conversation Bots on: July 11, 2019, 10:35:23 AM
Common theme, and there are multiple people on the internet selling this sort of bumping as a service. Charging some obscene amounts for it too. Unfortunately they are always with lower ranked accounts, and don't care about getting nuked, and will just make a new account, and post again. 

How do you recommend we report them? Specifically accounts that belong to thread bumping services?
6916  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Livecoin.net Scam on: July 11, 2019, 10:15:47 AM
It is pretty clear that i meant there was nothing to be done "after" the attack was finished. I still stand by it, if you disagree to simple technical facts , then that is your problem.

Yeah and its pretty clear you are continuing to ignore the fact that things could be and were done. "Simple technical facts"... Monacoin COULD attempt to solve its difficulty retargeting bug and Monero DID patch the exploit in their wallet. If you disagree with simple technical facts, well I'm sure you already know the rest.

Everything to be said here has already been said at least 3 times. I'm also wrapping up my involvement with this thread.

Edit: I found the Github entry where Monacoin did indeed patch their difficulty retargeting bug, it was in their last update:

Quote
This fixes an issue where a 51% attack can change difficulty at will.

So the idea that "nothing could be done" is utter rubbish.
6917  Other / Meta / Re: my 2011 bitcointalk Hero account hacked on: July 11, 2019, 06:38:11 AM
It's so saddened for you to lose such account (hero member) by hackers. I believe something can be done to recover it back. Never lose hope, keep sharing, Theymos will surely do something about it. This not what you will keep mute or sober about it. Keep pushing until you retrieve your account

Meanwhile 5 days ago:

Thanks Everyone, I finally got back my account by following those guide.
This thread can now be closed.

This is why its important to read the entire thread before commenting and not just respond to the first post.

OP probably won't lock the thread as he's off to enjoy his old account.

6919  Economy / Reputation / Re: Koshgel Sold Account - Abusing Trust System on: July 11, 2019, 05:17:07 AM
This person decided that the trust system is a tool to punish people for disagreeing with them. Why should I give them a courtesy they don't give me? I didn't go looking for him, he found me. You are the last person who should be commenting on this. Furthermore, if this was something I did exclusively for retaliation you would have been flagged a long time ago hypocrite. Thanks for proving my point salty boy.

Because you shouldn't let it bother you, but you let everything bother you. You missed my point entirely about retaliatory feedback. This is why you are unfit for DT.

You did try to get me tagged already and you failed spectacularly. What happened instead was you were kicked off DT1 again and racked up even more exclusions thereafter. Now its your turn to cry about this being a "politburo" system, and that's why nobody likes you. Historically speaking this is your next go-to trick that you pull out of your bag of about 2 or 3 tricks.
6920  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Livecoin.net Scam on: July 10, 2019, 02:48:49 PM
They were the victims of thieves who took advantage of weaknesses in the coins' respective code

Wrong,they were the victims of their own weak security and lack of seriousness in protecting their clients' funds, every POW coin is subject to being attacked, there is a little to nothing that can be done about it on a code level , some methods like the "delay function" proposed by zen may make the attack a bit harder and that's all about it, the biggest part of responsibility is on the exchange itself.

I feel like you just jumped in without reading much of the backstory on Monacoin's implementation of Lyra2REv2 because you just parroted what has been said ad nauseum already. Its like, no shit, they should have been on the lookout for irregularities in the blockchains of the coins they are trading. There's lots of things that can be done -- for starters, the Monacoin devs could fix their faulty calculation of difficulty retargetting, yet they never did. From Reddit:

Quote
The bug is the quite similar as Verge had a month ago. Increasing block age for deposits will not fix it, but increasing the block confirmations actually secures you from the attack aniway. Exchangers and online services should increase it above 100. (There is difference as in Verge the timestamp itself was faked - here a different algorithmic error plays role, which the developers must first find).

Monero DID make changes to their wallet software after a theoretical exploit was confirmed to exist and reported to developers by Livecoin. So what are you talking about "nothing to be done"...? Your statement is 100% inaccurate.

(stuff not worthy of response deleted)

tl;dr IMO Livecoin is not scam per se, but when investors lose their funds due to terrible security measures, it does not matter how you label them - they are as good as scammers, one does not have to directly steal your money, locking you out of your funds for saying stuff about them on Twitter or being too bad in protecting your funds are some great ways an exchange can follow to be considered a scam.

It really does matter how you label them. That's what labels are for. Despite the fact that OP is a prick and had months to withdrawal his coins (except for MONA, as nobody can), I still agree that's not a good excuse to lock him out of his account. I've said this from the very beginning. Don't know why you're again just repeating what has been said since the start.
