What is the title segwit and how it is created please help
To know if someone is using segwit (and lower fees) you just need to look at their addresses: if it starts with 3 or bc, it's segwit. If it starts with 1 it's not segwit (legacy)
mikeywith has posted a very nice guide about how to verify if a BTC address starting with 3 is segwit, because it's not always SegWit if it starts with 3, can also be multisig: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5133475.0

Bin da in so ne Telegramm Gruppe da sagen sie der wird Mal mega werden. Deswegen fragte ich Mal lieber hier.
Wahrscheinlich sagen die das da, weil das Team ein paar "Teilnehmer" Telegram Accounts besitzt, um ihren Coin zu pushen.  Wink

Habe mal noch etwas weiter gesucht und es ist wirklich ein klassisches MLM, das seine Kunden mit der "werde-schnell-reich-Strategie" das Geld aus den Taschen ziehen will. Funktioniert diese Strategie? Für die Teilnehmer nicht, aber für die Herausgeber von Kalacoin.
Hinter Kalacoin steht die Plattform Nui, die es in der Vergangenheit offenbar schon öfter mit MLM versucht hat bzw. von der alle Aktivitäten ausgehen:  

- Der CEO von Nui ist auch der CEO von Kalacoin.
- Es gibt diverse vermeintliche Vorteile für Kalacoin-Besitzer, wenn man sich kostenpflichtig auf der Plattform Nui anmeldet.
- Die Kalacoin Miner werden von Nui vertrieben.
- Man kann Kalacoin Miner bei der Plattform Mintage Mining hosten, die Firma Mintage Mining gehört auch zu Nui, mehr zu Mintage Mining (ebenfalls ein MLM) hier: https://behindmlm.com/mlm-reviews/mintage-mining-review-nui-goes-full-ponzi-with-mining-package-opp/

Also kann Mann sich ein paar für 1 Cent kaufen.
Würde ich von abraten, besser in BTC oder gute Altcoins.
Und da Nui laut BehindMLM in Utah (US-Bundesstaat) liegt, liegt es im Wirkungsbereich der SEC und kann von dieser jederzeit geschlossen werden.

Quote
Nui is a US company being operated out of Utah. Any securities offered by the company would require registration with the SEC, of which there is none.

Yes, all of them are connected but how are they connected to the accounts mentioned in OP by coinlocket$? If you have a valid proof we can tag them but as far as I can see there isn't a proof connecting them yet to the other accounts...

Hallo was haltet ihr von kalacoin lohnt der sich ? Steht jetzt bei 2 Cent?
Wie hoch kann der steigen bei 21 Milliarden?
Der wird tendenziell eher fallen, bei 2 cent wäre die Marktkapitalisierung bei 21 Millionen (0,02 Cent * 1.000.000.000 Token) und das wäre Platz 175 (etwa so viel wie Grin).

Nui Starts New Kala Mining Crypto MLM After Cease & Desist Securities Fraud
Quote
In order to start mining Kala it is possible to do it purchasing mining hardware or via cloud mining. The cloud mining service would allow users to invest in Gigahash or Terahash contracts. According to the official press release, by paying a monthly service fee, users can see their Kala grow.

The GIgahash contracts promoted by the company start from $50 with $15 a month fee. Then, it is possible to purchase contracts of $100, with $30 monthly fee, $500 contract with $42 monthly fee, and $1,000 contract with $57 monthly fee.

However, there are even bigger offers for those interested in mining activities. The Terahash contract cost $4,000 with a $115 monthly fee.

Nevertheless, according to Behind MLM, this company is clearly fraudulent. The report mentions that the Gigahash contracts offered by the company pay a direct referral commission and also a team commission that is divided into ten different levels.

Kala Token – People-Powered Inherent Value Cryptocurrency ICO?

Quote
Kala Token Conclusion

The Kala Token website has a number of red flags. There are stock images of cheerful families playing on a beach. The company frequently mentions the fact that you can achieve “financial freedom” (i.e. get rich quick) through their system. It also seems like you can make money by referring other people to the platform. Plus, the website and whitepaper are filled with vague, flowery language. All of these things suggest you’re dealing with a multilevel marketing company.

Like most multilevel marketing companies, most participants in Kala Token’s ecosystem are unlikely going to make money. The vast majority will lose money – despite the company’s claims of helping you earn “financial freedom”.

That being said, Symatri has a much more detailed plan than other MLM-led cryptocurrency schemes we’ve reviewed online. The company has a 44 page whitepaper that explains its goals, its timeline, and its future strategies.

Neuer Stoff für Diskussion Smiley

Mein Steuerberater hat mir erklärt, dass Bounties und Airdrops nicht beim Erhalt versteuert werden müssen sondern erst beim Verkauf.

Somit wurden die bereits verkauften Bounties in der Erklärung steuerlich geltend gemacht und die nicht verkauften nur aufgeführt als Info, was aber laut des Steuerberaters nicht nötig gewesen wäre, da noch nicht verkauft. Das Finanzamt hatte dazu keine Einwände. Der Bescheid kam kürzlich.
Hey, danke für deinen Erfahrungsbericht, dass ein weiterer Steuerberater das so sieht und auch danke für den Erfahrungsbericht, dass dein Finanzamt diese Sichtweise bestätigt hat. Ich sehe es auch so, dass Altcoin Bounties und Airdrops erst bei Verkauf mit dem dann erzielten Preis versteuert werden um diesen zweifelsfrei feststellen zu können, mehr dazu habe ich hier geschrieben (alle Angaben wie immer ohne Gewähr):

Meiner Meinung nach sollte das bei jeder Signatur Kampagne geben, wenn es keine obere Grenze gibt verleitet das rein nur zum Spam. Hoffentlich wird da eine Regel eingeführt mit max. Posts oder es wird zukünftig allgemein härter durch gegriffen...
Ja, das kommt denke ich hauptsächlich daher, weil sie keinen professionellen Manager eingesetzt haben. Könnte natürlich auch die Strategie gewesen sein, absichtlich Spam zu produzieren, damit diese Scam Exchange hier in die Schlagzeilen kommt...

7434  Other / Meta / Re: [Experiment] Do shitposters care if someone replies to their posts? on: April 22, 2019, 07:43:51 PM
In my experience, most threads that are titled with a question, especially those that can be answered "yes or no" will not have a lot of meaningful discussion. Looking at the other threads you (I assume 0xmiau is you) posted in, I am not especially surprised you didn't receive a response.  
I've chosen the replies where I can ask a good question that someone would reply (normally) and where it's not likely that while I'm typing another user submits a new comment. 0xmiau is me, I didn't want to confuse them if I make comments with 1miau there.

I had always assumed most signature spammers have at least a very basic understanding of bitcoin, but this is perhaps not true (anymore). Ever since I saw this thread, I have suspected some of the bounty hunter spammers are being paid by a third party, and the same forum account may not even be used by the same spammer from day to day. If someone does not even have a basic understanding of bitcoin/crypto currencies, they are not going to be able to engage in a conversation with you -- if they try they will look (more) stupid.
That's awesome, Nobel Prize for shitposting.  Cheesy



Again looking at these users post history you can easy identify those shitposters (mainly posting because they are paid to) even though their post have some little sense to it, they just move around the forum replying in any board they find discussion they can contribute to but the average none shitposters post history are always similar in regards to boards and sometimes threads he/she posts in.


how does what they chose to post on an indication of being a "shitposter"? wouldnt it be more of the content of what they post? and isnt that what we are doing? moving the forum finding something we feel we can contribute to? and im a little confused are we speaking of the author being a shitposter or the commenter?

(sorry for the so many questions just trying to contribute  Cheesy)
I think CryptopreneurBrainboss means that they are searching threads where they can submit their low-quality posts without any effort, there are several topics like "will BTC die?", "when will the bear market end?", "when should I buy BTC?", "is gambling risky?" or similar.



Stake campaign has a really silly rule in that worsens this issue:

3 posts per thread maximum (you can of course do more but they won't count towards the campaign)
Yeah, that's when the campaign is managed by the project itself and they didn't bother to hire a professional manager.  Cheesy



Surprised you got one!
I was also surprised and thought of giving him a Merit  Cheesy


And you expect to have a meaningful conversion or even a reply each time you post something? Get real!
Of course not, in most cases that's not possible and I'm only going to respond if there is really need to do it. Same like if I start a new topic and ask for opinions, it's impossible to reply to all of them.

But, if you want to get replies, I'll give you a hint Tongue
Go to the alt section and look for topics that have very low views/post ratio, the bumping bots there would love some fresh blood
Yes maybe I will ask them "when moon?". xD
There are indeed some spammer services offering "real" questions (most likely because the "great project" spam posts are deleted immediately.)

BitcoinTalk Bump

$4.50

Buy as many bitcointalk.org comments (bumps) as you wish, and provide us with the link to the ANN thread and the amount that we should do per day. No need to send the texts as well, but if you wish you can do that. A big advantage of these is that we usually ask questions. So if you’re answering them, each bump will actually transform into two bumps.

Please don’t buy less than 15 BitcoinTalk bumps. We waste a lot of time informing ourselves of the projects in order to formulate good texts.

Hier mal etwa unerwartet erfreuliches:

Es gibt doch noch Projekte, denen der Aufbau einer Community wichtig ist und denen es nicht bloß darum geht, den Leuten das Geld abzunehmen und davon Lambos zu kaufen und Grillpartys zu veranstalten. Da dort die eingesammelte Menge Geld im public sale sehr wenig war und im Vergleich dazu im private sale sehr viel, hat sich das Team von Aerum dazu entschieden, den Kunden die investierten Kryptowährungen zurückzusenden, während diese ihre erhaltenen XRM (Aerum-Token) behalten dürfen. Finde ich eine nette Geste zwischen all den Scams und Regeländerungen bei Bounties um so viele Teilnehmer wie möglich die Belohnungen zu kürzen.

Quote
To protect our company from legal risks related to ICO/ITO fundraising activity and given the fact the absolute majority of raised capital comes from corporate investors and not from public, we have decided to cancel our ITO and refund all public investors. It means we will send back the ether they contributed to their respective accounts in next 14 days. As we do that we will leave them with XRM tokens as gratitude, free of charge. We will issue a technical bulletin with regards how to proceed for every method of contribution that was available.
https://aerum.com/blog/aerum-the-road-ahead/


Das klingt für mich eher nach einer rechtlichen Sache. Vielleicht hat die SEC oder ein Anwalt Aerum darauf hingewiesen....gab doch in der Vergangenheit schon einige Fälle, wo die Projekte eine Strafe an die SEC zahlen mussten und teilweise die durch das ICO erhaltenen Coins zurückgeben mussten.
Sorry für die späte Antwort.

Ja kann sein, wobei ich rechtliche Gründe eher nicht vermute, die Teilnehmer durften die Token ja behalten. Laut ICObench ist Aerum auf den Seychellen registriert, die SEC ist damit nicht involviert (zumal Investoren aus den USA nicht zugelassen waren).

...
Bei 200.000.000 Token für den Airdrop wären es ca. 20.000.000 Dollar den der Airdrop Wert ist. Natürlich stockt jetzt der Airdrop und steht bei angeblich 198.000.000 Millionen vergebenen Token fest. Das schon etwa 2-3 Wochen. Nix tut sich so recht. In Telegram schreiben sie das viele ihre Task nicht erfüllt haben und daher die 198 anstehen.
Aber zu meiner eigentlichen Frage: Haltet ihr es für möglich das dieser Airdrop jemals ausgezahlt wird ? Ich kann mir so etwas nicht vorstellen.
Ein wenig Zweifelhaft ist dieser Airdrop schon....oder sehe ich es falsch ?
Ich kenne diesen Airdrop zwar nicht aber dass jemand einen 20 Millionen $ Airdrop macht, während die Exchange 34 Millionen $ "Wert" ist, halte ich für fraglich. Vielleicht nur ein Angebot zum Kundenfang, damit sich diese auf der Exchange registrieren. Aber wie gesagt, ich weiß über den Airdrop nichts, kommt mir nur sehr seltsam vor.

Und wenn layer1gfx eine Scam Anschuldigung aufmachen sollte, würde ich mich gerne an einem kritischen Beitrag zu YoShit beteiligen.

Well, it's also late here, so I'll keep it short.

Rank holds too much importance

...Buying an account is practically the only way to get anywhere now a days, and yes I get again that a lot of these "thresholds" are put in place to prevent scamming and such, but it's not really helping...
That's not true at all. Ok, maybe if you want to accumulate dozens of accounts to start shitposting or selling them to make money but if someone is at least a little bit interested in contributions to the forum, ranking up will be no problem at all. You don't even have to know much about crypto, learning step by step is always the way to go. We have a few new users in the German section and there are no problems for them, no harassing by high ranked members and they also receive some Merits if their content is somewhat useful. There is still a lack of Merit sometimes, yes I don't deny that, but it's not that bad how you are describing it.

I'm around here for a year now and can tell you that everyone has the possibility to rank up if he puts a little bit effort into it. My online time is 16 days and that's not much in my opinion. If I had more time I would be online more often but that's how it is. Even as hobby participant it's possible to rank up, so don't tell me the only solution is to engage in account sales and buy an high-ranked account to cheat everyone willing to contribute here and rank up the legit way.  Roll Eyes
And then, it's no crime to wear a paid signature, like your accusation sounds like. The problem are poorly managed signature campaigns, the good ones don't make any problems. And ironically, another problem are the account hackers / sellers offering accounts for spammers.

Your various buzzwords we know from previous discussions like "Misuse of Trust", "Ranking up is impossible", "Generalizing that all Signature campaigns are a problem" or "Hate towards Newcomers" let me think that you are just continuing what has already been discussed.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that there are no problems but that will just be another discussion like so many before.

7439  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: {Facts} Disadvantage of promoting signature campaigns that encourages spamming. on: April 22, 2019, 01:55:43 AM
Very good points, I hope the participants in spammy campaigns will read your post (but I doubt it).

The biggest problem of such signature campaigns is that people are forced to make a high number of posts per week / per day to get the amounts in BTC compared to campaigns where the posts per week are limited to 40 - 60 posts per week. And whenever someone is forced to make comments that he won't make normally, the outcome is not useful at all. If they are forced to make their number of posts per day they'll make replies about things they are possibly not experienced in. The post quality will go down drastically and the posts won't help anyone, just adding another post to the topic. Those replies are not only not helpful, they are ruining the discussion and causing spam-megathreads.
Same like if someone tries to participate in a gambling signature campaign and as requirement they need to make posts in Gambling but they normally don't comment there. The replies won't be very useful.

I don't want to generalize everyone in the YoBit signature campaign as a spammer, there are also a few good contributors and even the best posters on the forum can make more than 100 posts per week without producing useless spam as a result. But the overall impression is like CryptopreneurBrainboss explained very well in his OP, it won't work for most members because they try to earn as much as possible.

In addition, such campaigns tend to ruin the posting history. A good posting history is always mixed with longer or shorter posts. No need to write always essays if you can say your content only in a few words. But for my experience the worst posters are those where the post lenght is always the same (a few lines) and that's a pattern that most spam posters have in common.
7440  Other / Meta / Re: [Experiment] Do shitposters care if someone replies to their posts? on: April 22, 2019, 12:50:29 AM
I can assure you that the "shitposters" very much care if someone replies to one of their posts. The reason they care is because if you reply to their posts, they can respond to what you said for another easy/quick post.
Then, I would have gotten much more replies.

I think there may be a couple of reasons you received so few replies:
1 - you posted in fairly large threads in which it is difficult to even a "normal" person to find a response to what you say. These "shitposters" want to spend as little time writing each post as possible, and going back multiple pages to look for a response takes time. I suspect you would get different results if you replied to these users in a smaller thread.
Maybe, but I had the impression that also smaller threads start to get more pages very soon if you can't get a first page reply.

2 - There is a 20 post per day limit as to how many posts each account will be paid for. I don't think many in this campaign will make much more than 20 per day, or even look at the forum from that account once they make 20 posts that day. If you wait a day or two, you may see a couple more responses
My experiment took place way before the YoShit Signature Campaign (April 11 + April 12) and is not related to it. It migh be a strange coincidence that YoBit starts their spam campaign just after I started to do the experiment.
And I've waited 10 days for their replies if you look at the date of my posts in the OP...
