I will not be responsible for anything else anymore for bitlucy on the forum.
You may want to update the OP with this information.

Spend 1 hour helping us, and we will pay you $100 in BTC
I can spend an hour on this Smiley

If it's related to this:
We have an amazing stable coin idea and everyone we talk about said it’s a game changer.
I usually don't believe the "game changer" or "disrupting industry x" claims. And I don't easily trust people/companies who make such claims.

All DT Members Review and Give Red This All Account
Why? See:
I've said before that I think tagging Newbies for "bounty abuse" is futile. Accounts with high Activity and 0 Merit have nothing to lose, because they can easily create new accounts. Worse: it makes negative feedback very common instead of reserved for scammers, which leads to more and more people (including bounty/campaign managers) ignoring the warning. So I don't think tagging them makes the forum better.

If you think someone deserves negative feedback: do it! See LoyceV's Beginners guide to correct use of the Trust system. There's no need to wait for DT-members to do the dirty work.

add to all this the possibility that Koil (in case he finds MiLkz's address) comes to him and personally asks for positive feedback on the Bitcointalk forum.
Sounds like a keyboard warrier.

Saying someone to kill himself can't be consider as death threat anywhere
Isn't this illegal? Where I live, it's not allowed to help someone commit suicide. One could argue that makes encouraging someone to kill himself illegal too.

I followed this drama a bit, and it's just that: drama. My TL;DR: Koil kept asking MiLkz for positive feedback, MiLkz eventually named a ridiculous price (which sounded like a bad joke to me), and Koil went slightly crazy after that.
7566  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: June 15, 2022, 08:34:52 PM
Suppose my total saving is on $20K and I have $10K in BTC which is about half BTC at this moment. My yearly income is about $20K/year.
At the same time, An veteran member's Total savings is $200K and he has $100K in BTC which is about 5 BTC at this moment. His yearly income is about $200K/year. In my opinion, Both of's pain is the same here. If you are a billionaire, $100 is nothing to you. at the same time, If you are a millionaire, You care about $100 but $10 is nothing. The example may not make much sense, But, What I am trying to say is, If a billionaire loses 50% wealth, and a millionaire also loses 50% of his wealth. Both are in the same pain. No matter how much was their loss. It's about % and who you are. A Billionaire would not much care if he lost $100K. But, A millionaire will definitely care if he loses $100K.
You're missing an important detail: the billionaire's life won't be affected if he loses 50% of his billions. He won't lose his house, and won't eat anything less because of it. It's definitely not the same pain if someone who ownes $100 loses 50% of it, which means he may not eat that week.
And that's why rich people can take bigger risks than "normal" people.

border guards or the airport guys will find your seed.
~
Edit.  If I think about it, it actually makes no sense to create a brain wallet, even for temporary fund storage.  You could simply create a seed and print a poem containing the seed words on a T-Shirt and this is a MUCH safer way to store your coins.  Forget brain wallets.  Not worth the risk.
Even easier: memorize the 12 words, and cross the border. If you forget a few words, drive back and dig up your seed word backup.
More realistically: the average person carries at least tens or even hundreds up to thousands of GB of data with him all the time. There's no way anyone is going to find the 12 words they're looking for in there without spending a very long time searching.

I noticed it too (why did I check his profile?) today, but wasn't sure if the date is real (I'm born April 1st, 1337 according to my profile).

If real: congrats!

Being a merit source is not a sacrifice. Reading shitposts is, and thankfully the Merit system reduced those.

Merit threads are so 2018.
So true Tongue Meta is awefully quiet these days.
7571  Economy / Reputation / Re: Should we not get negative feedback for expressing our views? How about me? on: June 15, 2022, 02:47:52 PM
@Loyce there must be a way to know on the bitcointalk server no?
Probably. But I doubt Admin is going to tell you. I couldn't find the exact date on BPIP.org either, and I don't know any other external tools that keep track.
7572  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can a brain wallet be trusted? on: June 15, 2022, 02:43:19 PM
in a situation where one chooses seed phrases that are hard to memorize, what do you advise he does if the wallet is stolen or lost .
If you don't trust your memory: write down your seed phrase.
If it gets stolen: you lose your money.
If you lose the last copy of your wallet: you lose your money.

"Be your own bank" comes with responsibilities.
7573  Other / Meta / Re: Bump locked topic, should this be allowed? on: June 15, 2022, 11:45:46 AM
Since when is trolling not allowed in forum?!
Since as long as I can remember:
3. No trolling.

I think we are giving him to much attention, and he probably gets more energy from that, like vampire.
I know that reference Cheesy
The Energy Vampire is amazingly effective into getting under people's skin. Especially online:

It's surprisingly simple to get total strangers completely furious.
So true Cheesy Except for the Thick-Skinned Gang, of course.

I don't get it Tongue
Maybe it is active only for few seconds to minutes when it scraps everything, and then it gets back to sleeping hibernation.
Regular members could stay logged in for hours, and some even for days.
I forgot I don't login for most of my scraping, but still, LoyceBot now has exactly the same "time logged in" as it had when I posted here 3 days ago. I assume there's a certain threshold for "time" to be counted, and my next assumption is that can be abused somehow. Or there's time travel involved.
7575  Economy / Reputation / Re: Stay away from scammer => RivaTNT on: June 15, 2022, 07:13:29 AM
Leave him negative feedback and/or create a Flag against him.

I don't get why people still fall for this: What made you think sending money to a Newbie with a self-moderated topic was a good idea?
7576  Economy / Reputation / Re: Should we not get negative feedback for expressing our views? How about me? on: June 15, 2022, 07:05:31 AM

Based on this, it is obvious that he opposed your flag back then
He couldn't have Opposed it last year, the Flag was created on 2022-05-08. Unfortunately, I stopped daily updates for my Trust Flag viewer, so I can't tell on which day the Flag was Opposed.
7577  Other / Meta / Re: Bump locked topic, should this be allowed? on: June 15, 2022, 06:24:21 AM
The last example is from the user Koil with his threads:
You could argue he's trolling now, which isn't allowed. But I don't expect him to be banned for it, and I don't expect the bumping rules to be changed (again). So my advice is to just ignore him, he has enough negative warning tags already.

maybe a locked topic to loses bump power and automatically goes to the second or third page
I like this idea! Not only for bump trolls (or the typical locked sales thread), but I've also often seen topics locked because they're no longer needed. In that case moving them down a few pages reduces clutter.

Short-term, central banks seem to rule the economy nowadays, but long-term, their money only loses value.
What makes you believe they won't win long term? They have more tools than we can imagine.
This is what "winning" looks like for central banks:

Bitcoin without proper use (e.g. Binance) - would be a trouble.
Bitcoin existed before Binance, and will still exist long after Binance is gone and forgotten. Bitcoin doesn't need Binance.
Proper use is explained in the title of the Bitcoin whitepaper: Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.

Quote
Clearly regulation is what most governments look for - but what if the entire economy will be digitalized like Bitcoin (yes, no more "Swift" for wire transfers) - and still the 21st Bitcoin so many talked about could bring the end of Bitcoin?
Who talked about the end of Bitcoin? And have you asked yourself why they feel the need to talk about it?

Quote
Then what do you have left? Ethereum?
Lol. Another centrally controlled shitcoin that abanoned their USP (Code is law) the moment it was convenient to protect their own interests.

Quote
The centeral banks cannot be underestimated, they are the ones with unlimited supply of cash to do whatever floats their boats.
And they truely fear Bitcoin's potential to take that power away from them.

Say you can get a Passport from some island across the ocean, but you can't use it at all, no country in the world would accept you with this Passport, not even for travel - then what good use can you make out of this Passport? (ask the same about Bitcoin/Binance etc.)
That's a bad example. Bitcoin knows no borders, and there's always someone willing to accept it.
Binance on the other hand: I couldn't care less. I don't use them, I don't like them, and clearly their own financial interests are different than the interests of the Bitcoin community.
7579  Other / Meta / Re: Can I create a self moderated topic on this forum? (in the gambling section) on: June 14, 2022, 07:53:07 AM
Is that even allowed? The sticky thread One thread per site ONLY mentions an exception in case you have to warn for a potential scam, but this topic is basically telling readers to read the Terms.
It literally says so when you sign up:
Code:
By clicking sign up, you accept our Terms & Conditions

The amount of BS in that article really annoys me:
Quote
The company said that “these pending consolidation transactions had a low gas fee,
There is no "gas fee" in Bitcoin! They do all they can to make Bitcoin sound like their shitcoins.

Quote
The company emphasized that users could still withdraw bitcoin on other networks
There they go again, that's a lie. It's never been possible to withdraw Bitcoin on other networks, and it will never be possible. There's only one Bitcoin, and there are countless shitcoins designed to scam people out of their Bitcoins. The sooner people understand that, the stronger Bitcoin gets.

Currently our faith in Bitcoin has gone downhill, the raise of interest rates + global rising costs / inflation would hamper lenders like Celsius and Tether (USDT) could be next
None of that has any power over Bitcoin. Bitcoin is fine, and long-term, a great hedge against inflation. But only if you keep it in your own wallet, so don't "lend it out"!
Short-term, central banks seem to rule the economy nowadays, but long-term, their money only loses value.

Take note it was Luna that started this downfall, and now Celsius, and if Binance becomes next then what would the future hold?
Luna gambled. Celsius (which I didn't know until yesterday) gambled. Binance should be earning a lot of money from facilitating trades. If they're gambling, they deserve to go under.

Quote
What if Tether (USDT) becomes $0.95 again (it happened when Luna crashed) and then it keeps on going south?!
If you don't trust a centralized company to keep up their promises, don't use it Smiley

Quote
Bitcoin is a great creation, but so was LibertyReserve, e-gold and probably others that no one has heard of ...
Bitcoin is fine. You seem to confuse it with all kinds of things people build around Bitcoin to make themselves rich.
