An entire year to wait for finding out what they have instore for their fanbase!
Probably closer to 2 years... They will likely release it in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2025. GTA - Nov 1997 GTA II - Sept 1999 GTA III - Oct 2001 GTA IV - Apr 2008 GTA V - Sept 2013 I do remember seeing someone playing the first GTA on a computer in college and thought it was hilarious... Carjacking cops? Running over pedestrians & getting points for it? Finally you could be the bad guy in a video game, and it was funny as fuck. Life is a series of Grand Theft Autos.

Hello, Did you encounter any issues with our app?
To be honest with you, I would never consider using your app. This is due to the countless horror stories I've heard over the years from your users. It must be a very profitable business model for you to just seize any user's coins you see fit, and then only sometimes release them after the victim has complained very publicly and loudly about the theft. For people looking for a good multi-coin wallet, I would gladly recommend Trust Wallet for mobile devices and Exodus for desktop. I know there's others but in all my years in crypto I've never had a problem with either one of those.

They respond with a vague update three and a half years later ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) What a joke. How their website has not been taken down yet by their host is beyond me. Someone at the top must have directly received some feedback from people quoting any of the many, many scam reports against them that have amassed here over the years. Freewallet.org is truly one of the worst & hardest-to-remove stains on crypto.

Well, the best solution to the problem is to write some posts that people find useful, informative, thought-provoking, or at the very least, funny.
I find myself giving a lot of merits to Legendaries - which is in a way kind of pointless, other than helping them to refill their sMerit stash if they aren't sources - but there's some truth behind the idea that the reason why they're Legendary is because they write good posts. Of course this isn't always the case, especially when it comes to bought accounts or accounts that were dormant during most of the time since the merit system has been introduced.
Actually you've inspired me to keep an extra eye out for non-Legendaries who write good posts and are often overlooked.

These are always fun to look at. Makes a lot of information easily digestible. I like how its possible to break groups ("gangs") of DT1 down into clusters.
For example:
- The lower-right is the Collectibles cluster, (minerjones, krogothmanhattan, geophreigh) - The upper-middle is the Mods/Staff cluster (hilariousandco, achow101, Cyrus, gmaxwell) - The left is a Scambuster cluster (lovesmayfamilis, Rikafip, Jollygood) - The lower-middle is a 'Jacks-of-All-Trades' cluster (yahoo62278, DaveF, Sceptical Chymist) - There's a smaller-sized Italian cluster in the upper-right (fillipone) - There's also a small Russian cluster in the lower-left (imhoneer, KTChampions)
You can get an idea of how much interaction and overlap there is between the different groups.

In the case of Sinbad, it appears that the entity is a group of hackers funded by a government or organization, so they were not able to do much, especially since the service is a renaming of a previous mixing service that was operating on the forum. Let me see if I understand well what you meant: are you saying that FIODNederland is a group of hackers? Not a user created by Dutch authorities? No, he's saying Sinbad appears to be government funded. And it's not the Dutch government ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I can't be positive its not but I don't think the US government would do that as it would be considered entrapment. Its true that they (US + Netherlands) briefly took over Hansa market after AlphaBay was shut down - perhaps the most famous of all bitcoin/darknet "honeypots" - but they only used evidence gathered to prosecute vendors on the market who were already active. By setting up a brand new site and enticing users who may not have otherwise wanted to mix their coin, the feds run afoul of entrapment... certain arrests wouldn't hold up in court, and thus it would be a waste of money/resources. Who knows for sure though, anything's possible, and I'm no legal expert.

Yo, I read the whole ANN and don't really understand what it is you are offering... This is not meant to be a diss on you or your project, but to lessen confusion I would start by saying what it is you are hoping to accomplish at the very top of the thread. State what the project is all about & how you hope to accomplish this at the beginning. Good luck! G.B.L. is an acronym, so when our projects are famous like AI, people will drop the extra dots and simply type GBL. What does it mean? What are the exact three currently existing English words which make up GBL? This is probably wrong but I'll go with Great Bitcoin Life

I'm very curious what will happen to all the folks who have been benefitting from advertising money laundering here, even as it became obvious that the government was arresting those involved in such operations.
Nothing will happen to them. When even a forum pretending to be all about free speech has to ban advertisements from an entire industry, you know it's absolutely the shadiest thing you could get involved with.
You don't see how this statement is at odds with the first? Regardless, I could name some far shadier things that have taken place on this forum. I think the fact that both you and Vod are constantly shitting on theymos - yet you and Vod hate each other - means that theymos is doing as balanced a job as possible.

Exchanges are pure business models different from Mi**ers, why do you make them look like same?
Who owns Si***ad to make him accountable? But where is the former CEO of FTX now? Is he not being made accountable? Who is making the Si***ad owner accountable?
The asterisks are wholly unnecessary. Theymos didn't say you're not allowed to use the word "mixer" or "Sinbad." You're just not allowed to advertise for them or post their links. If I want to talk about Sinbad, the 90s comedian, pretty sure that's also still OK. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fthefilmstage.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F01%2Fsinbad.jpg&t=663&c=ZkOqanxbkn4rGQ) Well, this is the obvious outcome, we can't talk about m***s because they might be involved in c****l activities such a m***y l*****g, and other t*****t f*****g, so to not get banned we should obviously censor everything that my led to the forum being seized, that's why I won't mention g****g, d****s and w****s, and I will stay far from any w***r topics. Of course it will become annoying to talk about services like M***m or m****t, one being a m***r the other being a company formerly lead by B**l G***s (insert GDPR law here) but it's way safer for everyone to do it like this, you never know, especially since M*****t was ordered to pay $25 million in a criminal charge investigation.
For some reason this looks really angry and dirty.

It appears that everything that can be done using the blockchain under the sun has already been done, or attempted, or at least had fundraisers for it.
So untrue! So SO untrue! ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) Crypto coins have had every service examined, but the future of blockchain is just starting! I like your optimism but I'm not so sure about that... Its been 14 years and we can still hardly even get people to accept cryptocurrency as payment for goods & services -- and I'm talking about goods & services outside of the crypto industry. Online merchant penetration has hardly budged in a decade. There's a reason why blockchain tech is often referred to as "a solution in search of a problem." Outside of being a borderless currency, the best use case I've seen for it thus far is digital transmutation of physical items, meaning its a way to prove that somebody owns a digital item that can't be forged/duplicated/altered. This applies mainly to collectibles and the gaming industry but there are many other areas where this could be useful.

by the way my avatar is also familiar, right? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) you can check that researching elon coin is also a type of meme coin, it has also been listed on several exchangers of dev's choice ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Your dev started out owning 100% of the coin's supply. He has slowly dribbled it to others and into other wallets, but one wallet still holds 45% of the supply... I'd venture to guess he still personally hold 80-90%. Anyone who "invests" in this is basically just making a donation to Lightlord, and is NGMI. Pretty much the only thing he did right so far is not buy Twitter followers.

Well that didn't take long for you to post a contradictory statement...
He was not talking about the forum itself, he's talking about DT. And you edited his quote to leave out the "trying to be" part. DT1 is (trying to be) a democracy. You can't step out of the democracy and still expect it to work.
Except for the randomness of who makes the cut each month - in addition to the blacklisting for obvious trust system abuse - it pretty much is a democracy. Everyone in DT1 (who are voted in by other members) has an equal vote on who else gets into DT1. Its not a perfect system, and neither is democracy itself... Its the worst system of government except for all of the others.

If this battle is lost, then a dictatorship will begin.
The forum is already a dictatorship. Most internet discussion forums are. Where is the right to self-determination?
You can always determine whether or not you want to keep using the forum, and what you want to do on it, within the context of the rules of the forum. Can't we discuss mixers?
Yes, you can. Theymos has already stated that a couple of times. Then came the end of freedom of speech.
Just as it is on Twitter/X - despite Elon's claims otherwise - 'free speech' here is just an illusion. There's really no such thing as free speech on the internet -- not so long as you are using somebody else's platform to do it. It really just means you have the right to say what you want to say in public and that the government won't stop you... even that has its limits. How about starting a petition on the forum?
You are free to do that.

Did you read what theymos wrote? "If Bitcoin is banned in the United States, I'm closing down the forum," That's a very big "if"! I quote, "no danm shit about other countries and Bitcoin." His dear country is what matters to him. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) If the US bans Bitcoin, you can't really blame theymos for not wanting to be an outlaw. Whether we like it or not, we still have to follow the laws of the country we live in. I couldn't believe he said either one of those things, and indeed he didn't; the exact quote was: Maybe Bitcoin will be banned in the US someday, and then I'll have to either shut down bitcointalk.org or find a way of moving it to some remaining territory of freedom in the world.
Given the mass accumulation of Bitcoin by Wall Street and the impending Bitcoin ETF, I don't think this would ever happen. Those behemoth funds like BlackRock will make sure that it doesn't happen -- they are too invested in Bitcoin's success. If any "ban bitcoin" legislation ever arises, they will deploy the appropriate lobbying tactics to make sure it never passes. What we will see is the move toward regulated services, which we can see already taking place.

This solution is incredibly stupid. This will kill the entire forum ecosystem ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) Hardly. There's obviously a lot of butt-hurt and other signature campaigns will get more competitive; as a result some of the people who are only here to shitpost for a campaign will leave. If anything this will lead to an overall increase in the quality of posts on the forum. I rather all signatures be disabled globally, no links allowed, but never see a Bitcoin service banned. No banning of discussing Bitcoin services.
We can discuss gay porn, and porn in general, but we can't discuss a Bitcoin service? Welcome to new north korea.
He's not banning discussion of mixing services, only advertisement of them. I suspect you know this already but this is a pre-emptive measure to ensure that the forum itself doesn't get taken down. As a repository for Satoshi's writings, the forum is bigger than all of us. Theymos is simply trying to get one step ahead of the curve here.
