You can add anyone you want to your trust list without needing to get permission from them. I have not traded with LoyceV but with their interaction here and little we have had in pm, I can assume the user to be trustworthy, but that's not what you factor in when adding someone to your list.

• Trustworthy; means someone you can bank on and comfortably enter a trade with with some assurance that they will see it to the end.

• Trus list user; someone who hasgood judgement and knows how to judge in cases of dispute, extra points if they are very interested in the trust system and gives feedbacks often.

A user can be trustworthy without having good judgement.

2% is a reasonable fee to be paid for most exchanges in the U.K and around the world. Remember that this is the fee paid on conversion from £ to Bitcoin. You will pay transaction fees to transfer the Bitcoin out of the exchange and into your wallet which you have custody of.
And for the amount you are buying you need to use a non custodian wallet.

Yes. Percentage means the fees paid can be higher or lower depending on the total amount being bought or sold.

There is already a contractual agreement to wear the signature and avatar for the duration of a week inorder to get the payment, so leaving in the middle of the week already breaks that agreement and means you will likely not be getting any payment for that campaign.

If you do stay till the end of the week and have already gotten another campaign which you need to wear their signature, you should notify the manageryo know if he can check your post history first and clear you for the week's payment so you can change your signature, this should not be an issue for most managers.

In the end it's all about communication between all parties to ensure everyone is on the same page

They will more easily lose their Bitcoin from keeping it on a third party custody service than from storing it themselves. The billions of dollars that has been lost to hacks or closures from custody service is very large compared to those who have lost their private keys or hardware wallets
When you consider that major hacks gets cover stories but users who are locked out of their wallets by the custody service are isolated cases and goes unreported the amount of lost or stolen bitcoins gets longer.

They are thinking very wrong.

So the New Forum Software then?
This has been in development for several years and is well past the expected deadline for it to be fully functional.

It should definitely be recognizable so we don't lose the feel of how the forum is now but get some of the features that is most requested by the users, like a mobile friendly version and some additional inputs.

There is very little talk about the new forum software now that I'm not expecting anything to come up soon.

The miner includes the transaction in his candidate block and this is done by all miners competing for the next block. Adding of a transaction to a block is not done after mining but before.

There is also no guarantee that a transaction will be confirmed even if you keep broadcasting it, but you're right that it will take far longer than an hour for it to be dropped from majority mempools, the most universal time is 2 weeks. The Bitcoin does not have to be returned to the wallet cause the transaction was unconfirmed and they never left.

There is an option to change the current theme on your profile, but the feature along with a few others is disabled now. It either was a security concerns or theymos could not manage to keep it updated.

There are several extensions and user scripts that can help to adjust the theme but no onsite option.

The extension has some other cool features, but if you're only interested in hiring avatars and signatures then there is a forum feature you can use to do that in Look and Layout Preferences section of your profile..
The downside there is turning on avatars turns of that of others and not the one at the top left corner, also turning off signatures does not include forum ads and factoids.

But it still serves pretty well without the need to use extensions or external scripts.

This will be hectic to implement here on bitcointalk. In discussions there are always multiple side conversations where one user can quote 2 or more users at a particular time, and a collapsible dropdown button will fail to capture the entire thread of discussion.

The current layout is also not terrible, it's just a matter ofbwhat you frequent. I am mostly on the forum, so when I visit Reddit which is sparingly I struggle to go with the flow of discussions there and end up not going further than the first lump of replies, same happens on Twitter to (except it's a really interesting conversation).

We definitely don't need more social media like elements.

Market your project to them.

Crypto investors are on different social platforms, you have to bring your project to them and show them why it is worth investing in your ultra innovative project.

Nite that you are competing against thousands of shitcoins and projects.

No, it means that the forum cannot effectively protect you from scams so you should learn to protect yourself proactively and not believe that there is a security cover which protects you from scammers, just like with Bitcoin.

I don't agree entirely with the idea and feel that a little more strictness on proven scammers and scam posts will help, but it's my personal opinion.

They are real but the service they offer is mistimed fake and for the most part traders should avoid their service.

• Do not give the scammers ideas. Even if there was some fictitious proof of certificate that does nothing to prove that the signals you are getting are worth anything.

• They do. Many of them are pump and dumo groups, they get a cheap position in an asset and the drop a signal prompting their subscribers to go and buy in and drive the price up after which they well and leave you holding your bags.

In reality about half of the countries in the world are experiencing some form of stagflation already and have been for several years now. This was only worsened by the recent economic events like the lockdown caused by covid-19 and crisis in different countries in the world but the issue has always existed for different countries and some of this countries supply wealth to their neocolonialists boosting their economy.

The next decades will be full of uncertainties but there will be good economies borne out of it while some others will slip further into inflation.

I will start to worry if the government and media houses stop fighting bitcoin with their constant propaganda.

They are aware of the real environmental hazards but they still try to use dubious means to rope in Bitcoin mining to something as controversial as environmental pollution to decrease public interest in it. This is because they cannot control or regulate it, so they find other ways to fight it.

That's definitely correct. Many will favour more comfort tailored social medias to The forum which seems to not be interested in your registration or your attention; it's either you want to be here or you don't.

This will not attract the majority, but in my experience anyone who I invite to the forum usually takes to it like duck to water without any interest in the financial gains that are available here.

It's honestly not that bad, just needs some getting used to.

That is pretty much still relying on votes from DT1 members and if you are positive to get 50% of them to chime into different discussions, how do you say that they do not care?

Your idea is one that can work and also help to reduce bias even though many believe that the default trust is already a broken system and encourages backscratching.

But in this case the transaction was broadcasted publicly and any miner would have been able to claim the block rewad. If anyone was looking to send money this way they will have only limited the transaction to their miner or directly minednit themselves but this was open for everyone.

People nowadays are far from smart and it is improbable (considering the amount) but not impossible that they didn't double check before sending.
One theory on Twitter, sorry X, is that the user mixed up the amount to send and transaction fees.

They do not really have to be hardcore members, even those who have a very basic interest in Bitcoin can pick an interest in the forum and build that interest from there.

The retro style can also serve as an appeal to those who are looking for something unique to be a part of.

Financial motivation is a very big reason why a lot of members use bitcointalk and that in itself is not a problem at all. We all have bills and real life expenses to pay, getting some income while doing something you love doing and have an interest in is something that comes very easy for everyone.

That being said this does not mean that we solely invite someone with the promise that the forum will give them an extra source of income if they do certain things right. We should only invite people who have an interest in Bitcoin or use this forum as a means to spark an interest for someone we want to get to know about Bitcoin.
This will reduce the rate of spam from members who are here just to join bounties and get rich quicky or at least make some dollars quick.

---

If signatures ever stopped more than two-thirds of the members here will be totally inactive and those who do remain here will either do it sparingly out of love for Bitcoin or in the hopes that signatures will someday return and they will have grown their accounts in preparation for that.

No world order lasts forever, not the Roman empire, not the British empire and not the U.S. All empires eventually get replaced with something fresh and different, although in reality they are all the same and they all seek the same things; power and control.

The U.S and the dollar has taken huge hits over the past few years but they are still a long way from being overthrown with BRICS posing s bigger threat than it did before. These other economies are not immune to hurdles too and will also take hits in the quest to changed the world order.
