The fact is that the absolute majority of users (with a few exceptions) engage in plagiarism at the very beginning of their journey on the forum, having a rank with which they are not accepted into signature campaigns.

Are you sure about this? It certainly wasn't my experience for the first 4 years I was on the forum. Sure, most people registered after 2017, and to join a campaign of some sort, but a good chunk of them probably never even wrote posts outside of bounty applications/reports.

Therefore, it is wrong to talk about financial interest.  Secondly, very few people who come to the forum, hurry to familiarize themselves with the rules of the forum, so they make mistakes because of the banal ignorance of the rules of the forum. And people tend to change, and there are examples of this on the forum.

They change because its in their financial interest to change. I'm sure its quite annoying to have an account banned for plagiarism and then have to start all over again, which I'm guessing most of them do, but that's how the lesson of not to plagiarize becomes ingrained... not because they are committed to becoming a better person.

As we're seeing now with ChatGPT, the same people who would have plagiarized before are now using AI to do their work for them, which is just a more sophisticated form of plagiarism.

It would have been better if they found somebody who had a copy of the original blockchain and synced it from that.



The coin and the blockchain are still abandoned. This is a clone of a 10-year-old coin. Cool, fun, and even educational -- but the tweet author didn't mention that people would be mining on a new blockchain. His thread gives the impression that people are mining on the original blockchain -- they're not.

If you want to mine or buy old-ass coins where the original blockchain is still in use, I recommend 42coin. That's a fun one because there will only ever be 42 coins. Launched Jan 2014, died in 2015, revived in 2016 with the original chain.

The first time I heard about Bitcoin was in 2011 on an NPR podcast I used to listen to. They didn't do a great job of describing what it was, but the hosts did a test investment and saw their investment rise over 100% in a few months. It sounded like real nerd money. Was not something I was interested in at the time.

Then I heard Andreas Antonopoulos talking about it on the Joe Rogan Experience a few years later. The way he explained it, it sounded like it was going to be the next big thing and revolutionize money. And indeed it was, and it did. I bought my first BTC in early 2014, unaware of what was happening at MtGOX. I didn't understand what you were supposed to do with it as it wasn't really accepted for anything anywhere, and it was getting boring just watching the value go down.

That's when I discovered altcoins, and then I found this forum. My first questions on the forum were all about altcoins. Super glad to have discovered Counterparty back in those first few months. Since then, Bitcoin has transformed my life. While somewhat scary being detached from the old ways, Bitcoin offers a great deal of freedom over the traditional financial system, and I have completely embraced it.

Unreal... things are even worse now.





I haven't seen it this bad since the end of 2017. This is the main culprit:



Its interesting that image inscriptions have pretty much died out -- it is not feasible to pay for a transaction with a large size containing the image data nowadays. Its really not feasible to use Bitcoin for anything at the moment. Sucks but true. Reminds me of the Yogi Berra quote: “Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.”
730  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Vulnerability that allowed Ordinals to exist now has its own CVE code on: December 15, 2023, 02:02:55 AM
Everyone is just trying to create some useless JPEG "art" that they can inscribe, hope some sucker appreciates the "value" of such a drawing and then buy it at a huge loss.

Not "everyone," but yes it would appear the majority of it is highly grifty and most people are in it for the grift, as are 99.9% of BRC-20 token makers/minters. Here's one such exception - this is cool AF - a working chess game as an inscription:

https://ordinals.com/inscription/d412d1aa997583ec5c558bee031291bac78f9f9a8acb2edccd2b6e19df64c9bbi0

There's a lot of innovative stuff happening on ordinals but we don't hear about it cuz there's no money in marketing it.

If some centralized digital trading cards company were to launch and make this exact same trading model but without blockchains, it is almost guaranteed that everyone will just go there and the Ordinals hype will dry up. Just like how they ditched NFTs for Ordinals.

They have already... Topps, which was at least at one time the biggest sports card company in the world, started releasing cards on the WAX blockchain. It flopped and they moved to their own private ledger system.

An Ordinal is an NFT, as defined by their common users. Name registrations on Namecoin and fungible tokens with pictures are also NFTs. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Ordinals users are already blockchain users. They're not moving to a private system. That's for newbs still making the jump from physical to digital.

Hard to say for sure. Though there's a strong probability this account changed hands, its impossible to know with 100% accuracy.

lol funny post. If I don't use bitcointalk I break the rules?
I remember about it when I need something and you will be surprised that people can speak different languages. Personally, I know 4-5 for B2 at least.

We can settle this pretty quickly. Can you sign a message from either of these addresses?

I see, thank you. I'll get to investigating and see if there are any other untrustworthy or suspicious users.

I wouldn't bother as there's no way you could possibly be able to do this if the story you provided in the other thread was true. Its unwise for a new member to dive straight into reputational matters on the forum. There's a lot of nuances of which you are unaware. Plus it makes you seem like you're not actually a new member.

P.S.: try to take some syrup for that cough, it's not a good sign. I remember that TimeLord also coughs very often.

Maybe its tuberculosis, they should probably get tested.

There are good Bitcoin NFTs, they just aren't on Ordinals.

734  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Finally Bitcoin Devolpers planning to kill Ordinals and Inscription on: December 14, 2023, 04:22:10 AM
how could you not expect images, audio and maybe even short video clips to appear? wouldn't that logically follow? i don't think there's been too much storing of audio and video but there has been some. people never stop at just text. i'm sure you know that.  Grin

In retrospect, we can see that it did logically follow. However, almost nobody was thinking about using the blockchain for anything other than payments for its first several years.

Story time:

Nobody had the foresight to use Bitcoin for digitally recreating physical items outside of money, such as trading cards or artwork, until 2015. There were the famous BitLen / Ben Bernanke ASCII images that was embedded into a transaction in 2011, but they weren't transferrable.

The first time a piece of art was embedded in Bitcoin and associated with a transferrable, Bitcoin-based asset was August 2015, when NFT pioneer JP Janssen made a Counterparty broadcast containing a HEX-encoded thumbnail-sized image for his OLGA token. This was accomplished by splitting the image data into multiple outputs, which were eventually spent.

JP also created one of the first wallets that made it easy to transfer & organize Spells of Genesis tokens, which is widely considered to be the first digital trading card collection:

Just released a special version of CounterTools; Spells of Genesis Edition - https://youtu.be/f9mUWeXpaoc

How many people reading this have heard of any of these things? Outside of knowing about 'BitLen', I'm guessing not many.

The point is, virtually nobody had the foresight to use Bitcoin for image storage until well after NFTs were a thing, and it was only recently enabled because of Taproot. Before that it was limited to postage stamp-sized images.

Here's a really good article that covers all these early experiments:

Should I send rookie cheater busters to you if I see them? Maybe you could expand the business by taking in some extra help if things are complicated and maybe you could even give them something, I'm saying this because just now I saw a thread on rep board. So wanted to ask if we should direct them your way or not?

No, that's OK, thanks. They can ask me questions outside of this thread. This is reserved for campaign managers who want to save money/tokens and/or improve the quality of their campaign.

Two of these accounts likely deserve negative tags. I am going through them thoroughly and will start a thread for them in Reputation if its warranted. Will update this post with links to the threads when its finished.

I decided that I will only be publishing the connections if it results in a red tag. If the evidence isn't substantial enough and the connected accounts aren't in the same campaign, I will just send a PM to the manager to let them know my findings.

I don't have another account here at this forum. This username was actually made since Rollbit Razer fucked me out of what's around $6,500 (was $4k initially but inflation) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5471380

I was told that I'm allowed to have the chance at possibly participating in their Rollbit Campaign to earn the lost money back if I'm at the proper ranking so I guess this is my new side goal or something.

One of the weirder stories I've heard around here recently but OK.

Lauda is dead.  Theymos sent her a PM demanding she remove her negative trust on OGNasty, and she knew she would never get a fair chance around here.   RIP

Vod you need to be more like Queen Elsa from Frozen and "let it go." Nobody cares. You're not going to "win". You're just continually picking the scab off an ancient wound.
737  Economy / Reputation / Re: Goodbye, world! on: December 14, 2023, 01:30:10 AM
At first glance when reading your reply I thought she was actually dead and was surprised for a moment. If the information of the conversation is public may I see where this PM is at?

What happened to your main account?

Speaking of transparency, who's "we" in this context?

He doesn't know, he just pastes what ChatGPT spits out for him. Pretty much every post he's made since September is AI-generated. Several of his posts have already been reported, and some of them deleted. I haven't gotten around to reporting the ones where he weaves a mention of his business into the AI text but I will shortly.

Hey @coinremitter, hard to take you seriously when you can't be bothered to even type your own thoughts. If you're wondering why your posts are being deleted, this is why.
739  Economy / Reputation / Re: AI Spam Report Reference Thread on: December 13, 2023, 01:01:24 PM
coinremitter was identified by lovesmayfamilis a few days ago, and they continue to post AI garbage. They are doing it using a bit more sophisticated of a prompt now, but still reads like spam, cranking out shitposts rapid fire.

Indeed, the issue of Ordinals and Inscriptions causing network congestion and high fees has been a concern for the Bitcoin community, especially for smaller holders. It's positive to hear that Bitcoin developers are addressing this problem and working towards a more efficient and cost-effective blockchain.

As a community, we understand the challenges faced by both project managers and members due to the associated high fees. This move by the developers could potentially lead to a smoother experience for users, making Bitcoin more accessible and user-friendly.

Let's hope for a successful implementation of these changes, resulting in a reduction of spam and an overall improvement in the Bitcoin network's performance. This could positively impact not only the speed and cost of transactions but also contribute to a more favorable environment for projects utilizing the blockchain.

Looking forward to witnessing these developments and their positive effects on the cryptocurrency landscape.

In navigating the intricate landscape of Bitcoin and its potential adversaries, it's crucial to recognize the various forces at play. While bias is inherent in any discussion, let's analyze the potential biases that might shape our perspectives.

The first contender in this arena is the realm of Altcoins, attempting to mirror and emulate the groundbreaking features of Bitcoin. Some argue that these alternatives dilute the essence of the original cryptocurrency, posing both challenges and opportunities.

On the other flank stands fiat currency, a powerful tool wielded by governments. Some view fiat as a potential adversary, as it has been used historically to counter the growing influence of Bitcoin. Governments often see cryptocurrencies as a threat to their control over traditional financial systems.

And then, there's our beloved Bitcoin, the pioneer in the crypto space. Its flexibility in engaging with both fiat currencies and Altcoins has sparked debates within the community. Some praise this adaptability, while others question if it compromises the core principles that Bitcoin was built upon.

As we draw our swords in this intellectual battlefield, it's essential to engage in a thoughtful discourse. Understanding the nuances of each perspective can lead to a more informed and resilient Bitcoin community. Let's collectively dive into the pools of Bitcoin's potential, learn from the conquerors of the past, and unite to overcome the global economic challenges that lie ahead.

Absolutely, it's fascinating to delve into the early days of Bitcoin and witness the unconventional beginnings of its real-world value. The journey from the famous Bitcoin Pizza Day to the first documented instance of someone selling Bitcoin for Paypal payments truly highlights the unique evolution of cryptocurrency.

The daring move of accepting Paypal for Bitcoin transactions back in 2010, despite the inherent risks, adds a layer of intrigue to the narrative. It's a testament to the experimental nature of those times and the uncharted territories Bitcoin was navigating. The price mentioned in the old thread, 200 BTC per dollar, serves as a stark reminder of how early adopters had a unique opportunity to acquire significant amounts of Bitcoin for what seems like a minuscule value today.

Your breakdown of the potential gains for someone who invested a modest amount back then, even considering the subsequent dispersal of 95% of their stash, is eye-opening. The exponential growth from a $100 investment to potentially tens of millions at today's Bitcoin prices is a testament to the extraordinary journey Bitcoin has undertaken.

The mention of the alpaca socks kid adds a charming touch to the narrative, showcasing how Bitcoin was embraced in real-world transactions, even for alpaca socks. The unforeseen wealth generated from such humble beginnings is a captivating aspect of Bitcoin's history.

The community's pursuit of the next lucrative opportunity and the historical collaboration witnessed in the forum threads, driven by a genuine desire to understand and share knowledge, is indeed a unique characteristic of the cryptocurrency space.

Bitcoin's history is indeed a remarkable tale, filled with twists, turns, and unexpected fortunes. Thanks for sharing this insightful trip down memory lane! If anyone has additional anecdotes or insights from the early days of Bitcoin, it would be great to hear and reflect on them. The rich history of Bitcoin is a testament to the resilience and innovation of the crypto community.

All of these user's posts since September are AI generated and they should all be deleted... Total spammer.



This account appears to have been temp banned between June and October. When they came back, they first posted gibberish that I have no idea where they got, and then started posting AI crap again. I'm pretty sure this warrants a neutral tag. Pretty much all the posts they've written since October should be deleted as spam.

Gah, none of these posts have been deleted. WTF. This guy is among the worst. He'll get paid for these posts before they get deleted.
740  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Vulnerability that allowed Ordinals to exist now has its own CVE code on: December 13, 2023, 10:09:23 AM
And as i said previously, people who own ordinals generally don't care how "ownership" works. Few of them even use Ordinals only to store arbitrary data on Bitcoin blockchain. Although in case reference software[1] change how ownership work, people will resort by keep using wallet and website which use old "ownership" system.

Its not a decentralized protocol like Bitcoin, and nobody ever claimed that it was. Participants agree to the set of currently-established rules, hoping that it will continue to be enforced and not change (or if it is changed, its to resolve some kind of recurrent problem). This is how all Bitcoin-based protocols work. And it hasn't been without its hiccups, but to say it flat out "doesn't work" like franknbeans claims is a straight up lie.

Although Monero community took Ordinals problem seriously by adding limit size on TX_EXTRA[2].

I skimmed through the "How It Works" section on the website I linked and it seems like there is potentially some deanonymization of the sender at risk each time a send is performed. But outside of adding to (comparatively mild) blockchain bloat, regular users of Monero remain unaffected. I don't see it catching on.
