I wish we could have more of such post than posts where people are fighting for forum power all in the name DT.
It's called politics beside their fight adds more fun to the forum. To view more of this type of posts you need to visit the right boards. Meta and reputation isn't the right board to learn more about Bitcoin and other blockchain related stuff. Spend more time in Technically discussions board and other boards that can be used for learning like Alternative/Bitcoin discussion, B&H etc. WALLETS THAT SUPPORT IMPORTING AND SWEEPING • Electrum * • Electrum ** OP you did justice to this issue thanks for that. I notice you listed Electrum twice in wallet that supports sweeping and importing any reason for that or it's just a mistake?

Here's just the fact, we're all humans and most times we do things unconsciously. You can't take out the fact before you consider a post as a quality one you have to see it as one too. That been said, when you're active on a particular board and always come across repeated quality post from a particular user or selected few, you unconsciously become a merit fan of that/those user sending them merit almost daily. Take DdmrDdmr as an example, I'm so used to his quality posting that if I had the power all his post deserve at least 1merit. Don't think he has ever made a shitpost.
That been said if the users you mention above are sending themselves merit via quality posts, I see no crime there.

Considering the rate at which guyz are so expectant. I thought, what if the bull refuses to run? What will guyz do? What else can we do, it's too late to quit. Personally I'll continue being optimistic remembering those who bought bitcoin in 2009 and HODL until 2017 saw massive profit and the possibility of that repeating itself is there. Also the technology behind bitcoin is the reason i do have faith in bitcoin becoming more successful.

If you don't know, most of the gambling millionaires quickly lose their money, I don't know but some people say that money out of gambling is a curse.
Not a curse but more of an easy come easy go process. If you have participated in ponzi related business you'll understand that money you don't work for goes easily without been used usefully. Lack of planning is the reason those millionaire become poor in future. When they don't have plans for their money before it comes they spend it thinking that's how more will be coming. You can succeed as a gambler by investing in yourself, make useful plans for your money before you receive them. In gambling yesterday's success doesn't determine tomorrow success.

As a Nigerian i can't say no to this. Even if we can't get our own local board, the Other languages/locations board should be opened to new topic so user who don't have local boards especially africa countries can make use of it. I have sent PM to board moderator asking why board was locked and if it can be reopened but got no reply.
Africa is one of the continent embracing the blockchain technology, theymos please look into this issue. Give some Africa language (country) a board especially Nigeria or reopen Other languages/locations so we can start new topics.

This has given the possibility to gamble even to countries where the goverment is repressive about gambling.
That's very true, i watch a documentary once on how crypto gambling is breaking barrier in Africa country like kanye and uganda the youths can now gamble freely wthout the fear of getting arrested or traced. The blockchain technology in collaboration with cryptocurrency makes everything it get applied on looks more attractive, easier and dencentralized, gambling is benefiting from that.

Therefore, users who distribute my photos without my knowledge have such status as thieves. They stole it and now use it in their messages, edit it, etc.
Funny reply, so what about those using trump's image without his knowledge all over the internet?. If you want people to stop using your photos on the internet without your permission then you need to stop posting them on the web and better still avoid using the web. Like previous users have said, i don't see any of the claims above as plagiarism, when you commit plagiarism you steal people's work and claim it as yours and fair use of your picture isn't plagiarism period.

To join the previous list, you had to send the amount of sMerits which is much more than the amount of merits you received.
For you to send more smerit than earned merit that means you have to be a merit source or hoard smerit received from current month and then merit user in the next month so your smerit sent will be more than your merit receive that doesn't sound fair to me and as for the merit sources aspect, it is more of a duty. Don't you think the formula needs reviewing?

This January stats isn't correct, for starters I'm not included in list when i sent out about 50+ smerits I know that because currently I'm out of smerits and at the start of January I had just 56 merit but now have 168merits that means I received 112merits and 56smerit and I have sent all. Don't enjoy hoarding smerit I see them as iability.
With this stats I have provided, you mean I don't have a spot in the most generous users giving smerits? I doubt so.

Maybe it's not very bad suggestion, but I just don't see how it would be beneficial. Not everyone wants to show how much BTC they sold, bought or escrowed. Many people don't write amount risked and leaving feedback without these numbers.
The idea behind this suggestion was to help fight false comment and btc risked feedbacks. As of current the risk btc feedbacks doesn't affect your account that much so people tend to leave false feedbacks there but with this my suggestion it'll force users especially DT members to leave accurate figure or risk been blacklisted and red tagged too. The option to disable it from showing on some board could be enabled for privacy reasons but it'll always show on your profile. Not saying the idea is that great but i am seeing some positive outcome.

Trust has its own meaning in the bitcointalk forum class in Bitcoin transactions or nouns so that trust can state the name of a person, place, or all objects and everything that. Here is clearly a difference of opinion: There are two different things, (green): Meaning, Belief assumption or that something that is trusted is true or real and belief (will be honesty, kindness, and so on). (Red): meaning, belief in presumption or no belief in the sense of guilt. so it could be wrong if given like this symbolic BTC.
Lol this is the funniest post i have read today, what are you even saying?. After reading everyone replies i believe the suggestion isn't welcome by majority although this user below gets it. It's a good idea its just hard to implement at all...
Yeah maybe a better explanation is what the nay sayers need to understand better. If it can be implemented and managed properly it'll add more value to the trust system Still need escrow service provides to drop there view though.

i respect all your decisions. Note: For risk amount to show on your profile it has to be from a DT member not just any forum user and if DT member are caught giving false risked bitcoin amount they'll be blacklist from DT and get red tagged by other DT members. Multiple tagged from the same scam won't count toward risked btc value
These might help reduce the level of false feedback from DT members and those tagged can alway appeal their cases if the risked btc value is a false one.

Got some extra cash (after buying some major coins) from selling all my altcoins found in my alt ETH address thought about lending them on forum or use a lending site. For the past 3hours i have been searching through forum for the best escrow to use. It took me sometime to calculate how many BTC each escrow have successfully handled then this suggestion came into my mind, What if the forum displays the total risked bitcoin amount on users profile so it'll be easier to choose who to transact with based on amount. Example; Positive= Trust: 150: -0 / +20 BTC: 250 Negative=Trust: 50: -5 / +0 BTC: 0.5Yes i know the amount can be manipulatd, so is the trust scores too but we still use it. Showing the total risked amount on profile will make it a little easier to decide if to trade with that user not just because his trust scores is green but for his total risked btc amount. Although theymos advice not to depend totally on the trust system i.e always carryout personal research that been said, displaying it on profile adds more colour. What do you think? Edit: Note: For risk amount to show on your profile it has to be from a DT member not just any forum user and if DT member are caught giving false risked bitcoin amount they'll be blacklist from DT and get red tagged by other DT members. Multiple tagged from the same scam won't count toward risked btc value
These might help reduce the level of false feedback from DT members and those tagged can alway appeal their cases if the risked btc value is a false one.

I laugh at my continent when foreigners call us poor. You make a statement online about the continent or any country in it and the first thing that comes to people mind is "That poor country or poor continent". Who is to be blamed for all these, it isn't just the leaders anymore but the people are to be held responsible because they voted those leaders into power. The image below shows you how wealthy Africa is and if she wasn't being raped she would had been the richest continent on earth. What my continent have failed to realized is that power won't be given to you unless you fight for it. If the world was a fair one most African countries would had been among world leading country but instead we get treated like slaves and our wealth is been enjoy by other continents. What a shame From the marvel movie "Blackpanther" i believe the solution to the continent (Africa) problem is to act as the past Kings of wakanda did with their natural resource: Vibranium, they should learn to manage their resources themselves and later they can sell finish products to the outside world.

For protection, I can't leave names of those I disagree with before I end up on their blacklist.
it is your right to do so, you shoudnt be afraid to publicly expose your thoughts this is your freedom to speech, stand up for it. Just FYI, I don't endorse leaving anyone a neg because of a differing opinion and I don't think I've ever left one out of sheer anger, politics, or just a disagreement. @The_Pharmacist, I got no issue with your feedbacks that's why you're included in my trust list. @Gunthar I'm not scared of getting distrusted, I haven't even left that much of a impacting feedbacks to be distrusted. Still new to the trust systems and I'm taking my time to understand. About speaking out, isn't that what I'm doing? I choose not to mention names unless it's really necessary. When elephants are fighting as an Ant it's best advice to stay on the sidelines and observe not jumping right into such a fight. That's exactly what I'm doing. When the time is right I'll jump in. For now just like the Ant don't think anyone will take me seriously for what I have to say. I'm still new to the system. Reading their feedbacks you'll discover they're letting their emotions get the best of them so what I was saying is, I'm trying to stay safe who knows I might anger them then they leave a negative feedback of wrong quoting or not starting my sentence with capital letters Anyways the trust system is improving and we'll get there someday.

Hate is such a big world although, I don't just agree with some of their feedbacks but again the trust system isn't moderated so one may say you're free to not trust another user for any reason but for me if it isn't a trust related issue it isn't worth the RED TAG.
For protection, I can't leave names of those I disagree with before I end up on their blacklist. When it comes to the trust system, we aren't there yet but OK is a good word to describe it.

So, to make this a short story, this is our concern about asking for donations, and we welcome the community's input: A scammer can make a deposit to our donation address and accuse us that this was a bribe/extortion money, and to avoid all that hassle we have stopped asking for donations on our website.
Very true, that's a valid concern although you guys have created a very strong reputation for your team that anyone from forum will believe such an accusations but inexperienced guests of forum could. When a fund is sent to a donation address it's considered as a donation irrespective of what the motives behind the transaction was. So again, scammers who'll try to take advantage of the donation address for wrong accusations will just be wasting their time and it'll earn them more RED TAGS.

Personally I'll say it's appropriate to red tag user because from your topic and his OP he looks untrustworthy. He opens a service thread bump thread and locks it, asking interested customers to PM or chat him on telegram thereby taking their transaction off the public space isn't a trustworthy practice and has scam written all over it. Next he already has negative feedback although they're untrusted ones that doesn't mean they're wrong. This could be people he has already scammed through the PM's and on telegram. I'll say you should go ahead and tag user to prevent potential scam. OR You can leave neutral tag, asking forum users not to trade with that account and ask him to defend his negative feedback and carryout his transaction openly on the forum also PM the users that have already left feedbacks for valid reference if they were scammed. If he's not found guilty and agree to carryout open transaction then all tag should be lifted, in the spirit of this - You should be willing to forgive past mistakes if the person seems unlikely to do it again.
When someone copying their own thread on multiple boards,it is also plagiarism an needs to be banned. Note:I reported people for copying their own thread and got banned as well.
That isn't plagiarism but spamming and i bet moderators didn't ban that user for plagiarism (for that particular post) but could be for spamming or any other offends after investigating the account but since they dont give direct reason we can't conclude. This is what plagiarism is Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work. Source The key word their is "another author" can you steal from yourself, answer is NO.

Simple answer, No. They shouldn't be ban for using well know proverbs or sayings without providing reference. Most communication in this forum uses informal writing format therefore users shouldn't be ban for not using a formal format of writing such as providing reference to famous quotes. Although "giving credit where credit is due" is something that should be encourage on the forum.
