you can't protect everybody everywhere, this could bring more harm. Welsh gave a better explanation of what i had in mind

There's not much point to this. The thing is with trust is that people tend to judge users on their trust feedback, and therefore may dismiss valuable information. Guests will not be trading with users without registering an account. Therefore, they do not need to see the trust score of users as it would just affect their perception of the user by their trust score.

the main "issue" with the "trust" system is that it's not regulated by any means, people get positive/negative feedback for every kind of reason one can think of, most newbies or guests will probably not even bother read the reason for the tag. the moment they see those red warnings they will think whatever information there is bullshit and as Welsh said it will be dismissed.

rather than showing the trust score on that board, Mods should do their job by not allowing any selling/shilling there, and members should report those posts right away, the only board that members are allowed to trade is the Market place, and that's where you need to worry about trust, aside from that , i think everything should remain as it is.

Well I don't know if this is even important you can still go around and look for a merit worth post and merit it

here

the problem is this, i only go on a few boards, i don't have the time to roam around all of them, and some good posts might be there somewhere, so it would be easier for me to spend my Smerit this way.
7344  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: New firmware antminer S9 overclocking 17Th air cooling on: January 14, 2019, 07:40:24 PM
how do you know it's 7%? any way to check this? 1.5~7% is a huge difference.

you can simply monitor the hasrate on the pool side, a graph is usually presented. something like this



those ugly green arrows point to time periods that the dev fees were taking place. while this is not 100% accurate because a few other things aside form dev fees can show the same results ,but overall this is a highly accurate method to determine dev fees with little to no efforts.

take 24 hours of mining , sum the total "flat" time periods and get the percentage by doing a simple calculation.

do this for the first 24 hours if fees are higher than what you willing to pay > ditch it
if fees are fine , make a longer duration based test. maybe 72 hours. some devs are smart liars, they don't take the fees straight away,so you monitor the firmware for a few hours, and you say waw , this is it , only then they start to screw you , you just need to dig a bit deeper to be 100%.

the kernel log can also show you the results, but using the graph of your pool is usually the easiest way.



paying 7% for dev fees can be very stupid. simply because

assuming you went from 14 to 17th , then that's about 20% more hashrate, impressive right? but take a look at the power cost , it has increased, and you are paying 7% of your net-profit before paying for power. so at the end you might end up making just the same profit but risking your miner to failure by pushing it to it's limits.
7345  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The forum is more knowledgeable than you could Imagine on: January 14, 2019, 07:09:23 PM
the forum is packed with knowledge, but the problem is the labeling/organizing of the content is terrible, this is not particularity an issue with bitcointalk, it's a problem with all forums.

so what happens is this.

people who post for money on (youtube,steemit,blogs etc) usually take their content from this forum.
The content is usually a sum up of a few posts that might contain posts with poor English , typos or grammar mistakes, they take that knowledge/content , rephrase it , put it in a better form and post it or make a youtube video on it.

unfortunately there is nothing much we can do about this.
7346  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to post more effectively and get more Merit. on: January 14, 2019, 06:45:23 PM
What I said in answering the first quote applies for this as well. The size or length of a post depends on the nature of the topic being discussed, and as long as your post makes some sense and is properly constructed, no matter how large it is but it would still get the attention it deserves.

in theory yes , in real world I am 100% that extra long posts get ignored by default, once i have the time I'l use piggy's data to determine post-words-count relation to merit " or i hope someone else can do it as i am kinda slow in this" 

and before that is done , i am willing to bet that the majority of merits go to "medium" length posts, too long or too short usually does not get merit, this of course changes in technical posts , but a general rule of life, nobody is willing to read long-ass posts.



7347  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I have 10 merit to give for Jr.Members and newbies on: January 14, 2019, 06:36:25 PM
Posts prior to this one have been reviewed.  users who got a merit for this post should not post anymore, those who have not can post another post again.

Good luck.
7348  Other / Meta / Re: DefaultTrust changes on: January 14, 2019, 01:40:06 AM

My question is, let's say a hypothetical user with 10 earned merits has two users on their trust list, and both these users are one vote away from becoming DT1. How does the system decide who gets it?

simply put, the user with the 10 earned merit will decide to whom his vote goes to, regardless of how many users are on his trust list and how close/far they are from becoming DT1.

this could be done by giving the vote to whoever is at the top of your list ,indeed after the current sort-by criteria is changed to allow full control of ordering.



the hard part with be " assuming this is accurate"

I assume both can be used in full, i.e. using the 250-votes doesn't reduce the number of available 10-votes (or maybe I should call them "ballots" to not confuse with the person getting the votes).

what if i want to give my 10 merit vote to someone while giving my 250 vote to someone else?

Post of the month award goes to you , the first laugh i had in 2 hours.

the only thing you proved so far is that you are an account seller.

with that being said, bring a "real" evidence that user scammed you  , and likely they will be tagged by some DT member/s

too bad, well on my shitty D3s sometimes increasing the volume and/or lowering the frequency helps, but usually when a board starts to act funny this way, it's only a matter of sometime before you lose hope and send it to the garage to sit next side the other wasted bad boards.
7351  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Bitmain will be releasing S15 and T15 on 8/11/2018 on: January 13, 2019, 11:37:46 PM
it's quite the opposite, high speed require more current therefore more resistance and less voltage.

the more "power" your miner "takes" the more drop in voltage you get

in more details.

assuming your voltage reading "unloaded" 240v.

if your miner needs more power , it asks for more current from the source (volt) , the more current that moves thought the wires, the more heat it generates, the more heat the more the resistance, the higher the resistance the less the volt.

so your miner needs 5 amps 240v might drop to only 239.
but if it needs 7 amps 240v might drop to 238.
if it needs only 1amp it might stay at 240.

all the above numbers are nothing even close to reality, but just an explanation, you could have your miner at full load and it may still fail to generate enough resistance that is capable of dropping  the voltage by anything measurable.

The gear says 200-240.   So if 243 kills them. What would 195 do?

low voltage can damage your PSU , the psu has an ideal rated power of Volts * Amps it needs to keep it at x value
if the voltage drops it will try to cover up by drawing more amps (current) , and as explained above this will cause more heat , most of the times more heat than what your PSU can handle and that = psu damage.

but usually those psu come with voltage protection, which indeed is not perfect, but i am pretty certain it can handle at small drops and spikes.
7352  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: T9+'s Chain/Card Problem on: January 13, 2019, 10:42:25 PM
there are a few possible causes. will list them from most likely to least likely

1- the board is dead ( could be fixable but chances are slim)

solutions :

this could be a hex related issue, can be fixed using this great guide > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5032987.0

2- a falling PSU

solution : try a different PSU

regarding the error message you get upon flashing the firmware, looks like the firmware is bad, try using a different one, also make sure you using the T9+ and not just T9 firmware, also a hard reset could solve your issue.

* posting the kernel log will help troubleshoot your problem

why not be more direct/detailed?

who is the Local moderator that you think needs to be replaced ? and why ? and who are you proposing instead? and why ?

post those points in details , and you never know , theymos might make it happen and you wake up tomorrow with a different moderator.
7355  Other / Meta / Re: Escrows and forgotten sections on: January 13, 2019, 08:37:14 PM
Have you ever traded anything on bitcointalk ? i guess not

bitcoin escrow is great, a few highly trusted users but most of them are either very slow/picky or expensive to be honest, and this is one main reason that some people prefer to use some other "almost" instant escrow services. " don't PM me to ask  what are those , i don't want to be accused for shilling anything, DYOR".

if both parties agree on trusting a unicorn to be their escrow then why FORCE them to use forum escrow?

edit:

indeed , there is avery good chance scammers will suggest other fake-escrow and refuse to use the forum's escrow for the simple reason of scamming you, but this is not a good enough reason to "FORCE" anyone to use any particular service.

7357  Other / Off-topic / Re: Pump and dump discord groups (how to protect yourself & profit) on: January 13, 2019, 08:24:13 PM
for every pump and dump that happens, a few people make profit , many others lose

those group's admins make the money,while the majority of the members lose.

those groups are nothing but pure scams, what they do is simply buy the coin before telling anyone about it, and then post on their groups and dump it on those poor kids, you might get lucky once or twice, but there is no way to stay profitable using such a scheme if you are not the initiator.

also depending on where you live and what law/rules applies on you, you could get yourself in trouble if you were caught doing this shit.

7359  Other / Serious discussion / Re: No crypto Blockchain on: January 13, 2019, 07:43:24 PM
you seem to confuse yourself a little, blockchain and crypto are two different things.

blockchain technology was first introduced in 1991  > https://www.anf.es/pdf/Haber_Stornetta.pdf

that is a link to a reference used by satoshi in bitcoin white paper, ditch the names, the basic idea is just the same.

satoshi however was the first person to make a real use-case of the blockchain technology that bitcoin is based on, and if anything that bitcoin has proven to the world is the success of using blockchain.

now this give us a simple point that states, blockchain does not need crypto while crypto needs blockchain.

if anything i am sure of is the adoption of blockchain, in 5-10 years blockchain technology will be very widely used, while there is no guarantee of ultimate crypto success.
7360  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Selling bitmain coupons on: January 13, 2019, 05:57:12 PM


he does not want to use escrow because he is attempting to scam, he is trying to sell something that even bitmain does not have,  i know bitmain coupons inside out. you can also email bitmain to verify my claims if you can't trust my words.

i left this user a negative feedback, i will only remove it if he manages to prove he has a 220$ , which he will never have , except for a photoshoped proof that is easy to spot.
