Good luck.

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.
7485  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.

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.
7489  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.

7491  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.

7493  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.
7494  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.
7495  Other / Meta / Re: Some thoughts about the old-new trust system on: January 13, 2019, 05:33:14 PM

Let's imagine for a moment that we have some user (not a new multi-account for bounty or scammer) is registering on the forum who wants to learn something new about this wonderful, and at the same time cruel crypto-world, wants to buy BTC for 10-20 bucks in the equivalent of its local fiat currency.

The question is, why this user have to be subscribed to DefaultTrust? Why a new user should “trust” unknown users from the first second of being on the forum? And what about one of the main principle? -- “Don’t trust. Verify.”

take a look at the market place "digital goods" > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=93.0

i am willing to make a "blind" estimation that the majority " more than 70% of the sellers there are scammers , anyone with an IQ above 0 knows this already.

most of those people are tagged by DT members, this reduces the chance of the new coming users you talk about getting scammed.

the trust system is not perfect at all , giving the fact that you do not know or trust any of the DT members, but it's more like viewing a hotel/restaurant  reviews before visiting them, while a lot of the feedback could be wrong/fake you seldom see a very good hotel with more negative reviews than positives, everyone looks for reviews before buying any goods, booking a hotel or a dinner table, you probably do that yourself, while you do not know/trust any of the reviewers their overall feedback usually means something.

TL;DR > the default trust with all the shit it has is differently better than nothing, even if there was a single honest DT member many good souls will be saved.
7496  Economy / Reputation / Re: DT members, attention please. on: January 13, 2019, 12:14:11 AM

yup, along side with bolg1 , cpmzin , YoutubeTV and every other scumbag with a locked or self-moderated topic on the digital goods board.
7497  Economy / Reputation / DT members, attention please. on: January 12, 2019, 11:53:56 PM

Lovehacked account  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=877764 has been either hacked / sold to


Skeptical One  > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=696473



Lovehacked "This user recently woke up from a long period of inactivity." seems to have been a legit member back then, he got some positive feedback as well as 1 positive feedback from a curennt DT member.

so the Skepcital one " a known scammer" is no longer selling whatever "Lovehacked" used to sell but now sells the same shit he sells using his main account/s


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4709161.0



https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1674707.0


not surprisingly, he uses the same telegram account on both accounts now.

ok now that i got your intention, please do everybody a favour and tag everyone with locked-self-moderated topics on the digita-goods board.

after the new DT update some scammers now probably have a clean profile, just do us all a favor and paint those profiles in red , the more the better.
7498  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Selling bitmain coupons on: January 12, 2019, 10:57:00 PM
I am currently looking for 240$ coupons.

Do you have any of these available? I prefer using the forum to communicate.

I would want to use forum escrow or you send first. Either way is fine by me

Min buy worth 50$ note! That means the sum of coupons has to be minimum 400$.

Yes I have 220$ coupons. ESCROW ain't fine for me, time spent and no wins.



quoting this before you delete/edit it.
7499  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Need help to create dapp on: January 12, 2019, 10:43:07 PM
i think you have a misunderstanding of what dApps are.

there is a long explanation, but i will try to sum it up.

a Dapp is the migration of an existing/working application/system to the blockchain.

in other words, you need to have an already working "thing" that works on a classic environment such as a server or your computer.

once you have that at least in a complete set of an idea that can be directly transformed into code, then you enter the dApp discussion phase.

to do so, you need to learn Solidity "something very similar to the boring Javascript", that will be the translation tool of your working IDEA to be put on the blockchian and to be called a dApp.
7500  Other / Meta / Re: Show your trust list! on: January 12, 2019, 10:19:08 PM
What I do not understand is why DT 1/2 users remove each other from their lists, but some have positive ratings to each other or no negative ratings to each other. Is this a game for them lol.

-Just because you trust Bob and Bob trusts Alice, it doesn't mean you have to trust Alice, you could very much distrust Alice while still trust Bob who trusts Alice.

-if you trust Bob and he doesn't trust Alice, it doesn't mean you can't trust Alice.

-just because you had a successful trade with Bob, that alone might not be a strong enough reason to trust their judgment.

and the list goes on.
