7801  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When will the bull market start? on: June 28, 2018, 08:35:19 AM
bull market will happen if bitcoin cryptocurrency there is good news that could trigger a bitcoin price increase because it will not happen if there is no supporters of some news that is spread in the international media.

There are a large number of supports of bitcoin and crypto on the internet. The fact is ther number of people who are calling it a bubble are far more than the supporters. Moreover people are scare of their money going downhill and thus they panic. All this and the associated FUD makes the market bearish and the bull run will take some time.

I do not think bull market will happen this year because I see a market that is still down to this day, although many predict that the end of the year the market will recover but I'm not sure about that
How long has this bear trend been? Like 1month and you are seriously thinking like this? The year still has 6months left. Generally the bullish trend coming in 1-2months. Lets wait and watch.
7802  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Frustrations: Losing Streak on: June 28, 2018, 08:31:43 AM
At first I got a big win in sports betting and after a few days I played again with a crazy parlay system, day by day I kept losing until I ended up running out of capital and frustration increasing.
Well the fault was theta you fell for the parley system of wins. Having a large green streak is not always possible and thus you are bound to lose one or two in a parley if you have several bets lined up there. The thing you should have done is that you should have stopped betting after some time in order to recover by other means (not by gambling).

Quote
Basically dealing with frustration depends on the personality of myself, I happen to have no blind emotion and I can still fully control my emotions as the emotions increase, so everything is still okay.
Frustration is an emotion. Hence not being able to control it shows you have no control over it. This is common and you can overcome it with time.

7804  Other / Meta / Re: [SUGGESTION] Minimum Merit Required for Signature Campaigns on: June 27, 2018, 03:22:20 PM
Using merit restrictions is an easy way for a lazy manager to appear to be doing his job. Smiley

Actually this topic was brought up a few weeks back and I specifically remember Hilariousetc stating that having a minimum requirement for joining will only encourage people to buy/trade merits.

My take on this is that there are a large number of people who post meaningful content but they dont get merits either because they post in sections where merit sources dont patrol or the merit sources ran out of merits. Bottom line is that we need an increased number of merit sources patrolling every section of the forum if we are to make merit as a "criteria" of being selected as a "good poster".

Due to the subjective nature of merit - this is almost impossible to counter.
7805  Other / Meta / Re: Incentive to the Merit Sources to Achieve their Quota? on: June 27, 2018, 03:16:43 PM
I think your idea is good, it will encourage merit circulation increasing to reward the good post in high quality classification.
The idea is bad and is evident by the discussion and points raised by other people here. Do you even read the replies before you post (or shitpost)?

Quote
But that should be specify the privilege since as merit source also is the privilege for them.
Stop coming to this forum to shitpost to get paid or trying to asslick others in "failed" attempt the beg for merits. It makes you look like a dumb baboon who says "Great project sir" to every ANN and says good to everything they see nodding their heads in unison.

GTFO this forum and find a new home.

some of them will only misuse merit source only to get incentive only
Being a merit source is itself and incentive - like a new role in shaping the forum. In my opinion no other incentive is needed and hence if there is no so-called "monetary" incentive, how will misuse happen?
7806  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crash recoveries are not moons on: June 27, 2018, 03:10:05 PM
I am not satisfied the current market situation because there is no nice argued  decision to buy BTC as well as there is no the similar decision to sell.
The market does not exist to make you feel "satisfied". If you dont like trading simply stay away from it and dont bother buying or selling. In fact that is the best thing to do at the moment. Hold the coins till the bear run completes and bullish wave starts. Then you can think of selling or crying because you did not buy more at the bear run.

Quote
I hate such a state of market because it is possible to mae many mistakes whne market is in a stagnation.
That is the fault of a naive trader. Others should be happy of the mistakes by the naive population.

7807  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling in the crypto market on: June 27, 2018, 03:05:08 PM
Owners of gambling casinos are no doubt some of the rich persons of their society because they are earning a lot of money every day as many people come to casinos for gambling.
No doubt about it. They are running a profitable business and people are getting addicted to the casino who end up giving away a lot of money back to the casino just to curb their greed for more money. However the casino owner never forced anybody to gamble. It is the choice of the player to play or not.

Quote
Not only the people come for gambling but also there are some people who have taken memberships of these casinos because they are regular gamblers.
I think this is applicable more to the land based casinos than online casinos. Membership also would need some personal identification which goes against the ideals of crypto altogether.
7808  Other / Meta / Re: Incentive to the Merit Sources to Achieve their Quota? on: June 26, 2018, 02:46:13 PM
Given that there are reports that the current actual number of merits given in the past months did not meet the expected merits for circulation, please let me propose an idea.
Give an incentive to the Merit Sources for them to be proactive in achieving their quota.
Being a merit source is already a method to make them proactive. There is no need to "push them" in order to get other people ranked up. Let them work at peace.
Quote
An incentive can be a form of payment (bitcoin?), special privilege (additional feature on their profile?), or anything that is beneficial to them.
No.
Quote
What do you think?
In my opinion there was an initial craze about the merit system till last month which has decreased now and initially I thought it was because of the dearth in number of merit sources but it seems that its not so. Maybe if they stop meriting and start becoming inactive, theymos would have to actually look into the spamming of the forum and redesign the merit system. Currently the spam problem will not be controlled without increasing the number of mods.
7809  Other / Meta / Re: information support for newbie on: June 26, 2018, 02:40:58 PM
i don't need merit in here. i think it does not have value

Stop shitposting and get lost from this forum. Previously when merit was first introduced we used to have one thread everyday popping up and ass-licking the merit system in a way of pseudo begging in order to get some merits under the blanket cover of "I am a good boy" type of thread. This trend has deceased now that mods are taking strict action.

if you see this post is null.You can delete it!
You are breaking the rules of 1BUMP/24hour. Thus your thread will get trashed soon. Roll Eyes
7810  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which trading platform do you use? on: June 26, 2018, 02:36:58 PM
If you looking for exchange that listed many pair of crypto with USDT,  I think these exchange is Okex, Huobi, and Gate.io because they offer that pair with many potential crypto. They also has friendly interface and also has big trading volume.
Did you learn about these exchanges because you have been hunting some bounties and then they got listed on these shit-exchanges? Talk about exchanges the first few that should come out of your mouth is Poloniex Bittrex and so on. Not some etherdelta like looking scum exchanges where shitcoins get listed after ICO stage.

Personaly i used more than 2 different exchange but mostly i like Indodax exchange because they offer many altcoin paired with IDR, this my national fiat currency so make easy to make withdraw to my bank account anytime i want.
This is a good example of an exchange - because its local it will help you in making fiat deposits and subsequently conversions easier to perform.
 
Quote
Other exchange i used is Cryptopia because they listed many coin that still undervalued.
Cryptopia often lists some shitcoins so I guess thats why you often need it.
7811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any gambling site that uses bitcoin? on: June 26, 2018, 02:30:00 PM
How can you earn from gambling if you cant even know how to find a gambling sites that fits for you?study he forum first before trying to play gambling here
Seriously I hate it when newbies make threads trying to shitpost and convert the thread into a place for shitposters with such vague topics. If they dont know about crypto and the crypto gambling industry they should not step into it. After all gambling is not a method to earn money. It should be kept to as a method to have fun and as entertainment where there is chance of making money.

There are casino's mate that are accepting not bitcoin on their service like what I said that those two coins are the popular coins for altcoin gambling. Like the usual crypto casino, dice games, etc. the coins accepted are the only change on them. I don't know how many of them are there but I've seen some.

What are you talking about? All the crypto gambling sites accept at least if not anything else, bitcoin for deposits. Some even have shapeshift integration to allow altcoins.
7812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 5 Mental Responses That Will Make You Lose Money on: June 25, 2018, 01:19:06 PM
Believe in yourself but don't ever think that you are an expert or anything like that.
You can believe in yourself to be an expert in everything except gambling or any other luck based games. Because of the EV- nature of gambling and sometimes EV+ games as well, nobody can be 100% sure that the match will be in their favor. Its all a 50-50 chance and if you want to risk the chance then you should consider that money as gone, if it returns then you are lucky.

raising bets does not always make us lose money .. let alone we have and unlimited with big bet bets ,, I think it will be profitable in the long run .. especially if we gamble in casino roullete .. with some strategies that have been in stacking with mature, I think it will grow victory

Raising the bet only makes the person lose more money - because in the end the house will always win. Roll Eyes
7813  Other / Meta / Re: with bitcoin price collapsing why not start transform this forum? on: June 25, 2018, 01:14:48 PM
bitcoin has now reached another low at 5800 and many of those that are more educated, have a broader economic understanding beyond IT tech,
Its temporary. Just like every other rise and fall this is just another spectrum of that cycle of money that keeps on occurring in the market. Whats new in that?

Quote
know that this kind of speculative cryptocurrency cant be the future.
It IS the future.

Quote
this forum however is still bitcoin fixed, and there could be a goodupgrade if the altcoin section would be transformed into a serious cryptoeconomic related board.
That wont happen unless there is some radical change in the altcoin sections to prevent shitposters from vomiting out half-English posts every week to get paid for.

Quote
considering that bitcoin would then crash and start being forgotten like netscape navigator (first browser) this forum might have a future then
Like I said already. Bitcoin is the future.

If your suggestion is implemented in any case, the staff should keep a back up of current forum. It will save a lot of work when bitcoin price recovers in future.
Keep dreaming because it wont happen. Forum will remain as it is.
7814  Other / Meta / Re: How long I can have sMerits? on: June 25, 2018, 01:08:55 PM
No no no, You didn't get my point. It's not like I'm not sending sMerits, I'm not being able to send merits.
Maybe you dont have any merits to send.

Quote
Let me tell you what happened here with the last merit I got. I am fairly regular in Bitcointalk. But for some reasons I didn't logged in for 2-3 days. When I got back, I had seen that I received a Merit but it shows I have zero sMerits.
When you receive one merit - you receive 0.5 sMerit which does not show and is not spendable. If someone gives you another exactly one merit, you will get another 0.5sMerit - which will add up to 1 sMerit - then it will show up and will be spendable.

Quote
I couldn't send that sMerit even if I wanted to.
You cannot send fractional merit.

Quote
Something similar happened the last time when I received 10 merits for one post. Merit system was totally new at that time. Well, maybe sMerits decays after 2-3 days or so. That's what I wanted to know, if they don't decay like this then what happened with me not being able to send sMerits?
Till date sMerit does not decay. Thats all I can say.
7815  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When will the bull market start? on: June 25, 2018, 01:01:01 PM
Idk when the bull will start but one thing for sure it will be happen someday in the future. All we can do is just to be very patient to wait that day will come again.

That is a vague assumption. Of course a bull market will happen and it will happen in future. But your post adds nothing to the discussion nor does it explain your view on the current market scenario.

I think it's time to start worrying about the end of the bear market. I wish I could tell exactly when the bull market will start but I hope in this year.
Nobody can exactly predict when the market becomes bullish. However carrying on with the market trends we can hope for a bull run sometime around the end of June or in July. It will happen as soon as whales start pumping the market.
7816  Other / Meta / Re: Starting threads to try to generate meritable posts on: June 24, 2018, 08:55:49 AM
I've just started this thread on the beginners board -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4522043.0

In it I ask posters to describe the dangers inherent in using 3rd party wallets. Do you think that it is a good idea to start topics like this? I'm a bit reluctant to start threads asking for the submission of meritable posts, as I'm not sure they contribute to the forum, and they can lead to a form of begging. Hopefully the topic I've started will be of benefit to new members, and it may also lead to some of them searching for information about wallets.
Be careful of copy-pasters. Many shitposters would just copy paste articles from the internet to get merit. Such is the low-life.
Also the thread will become redundant in a certain amount of time. You have to think of another topic soon. I will give you an idea - follow this thread up with a new thread "Good and Bad experiences of using 3rd Party wallets"

Is Tman still around? I haven't seen him posting for ages. He didn't strike me as the sort of guy who would hide himself away. Smiley

People tend to get tired of the bullshit in the forum and get busy with other stuff going on in the world and their life. That would be my best guess. He is available on other platforms and the forum if you want to contact him.

and I see his post history is mainly in Economy section recently.
"Collectibles" precisely. TMAN is a collector of different bitcoin collectibles and art - He has a huge Kialara collection which he takes pride in.
7817  Other / Meta / Re: Can someone answer a quick question about the activity system? on: June 24, 2018, 08:48:36 AM
So I have posted a lot recently. I have 28 activity points. I have not gotten more activity points in a few days. I thought you get one per day if you post that day. I was proven wrong by this but now I am more confused then ever. When will I start getting activity points again?

How is forum activity calculated?
Activity is calculated with the following formula:
Code:
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
Activity is increased by staying logged in or by posting and is updated every 30 minutes. There is a maximum of 14 activity points every 2 weeks.

This should answer your question. If you have any other question feel free to ask. But dont forget that sometimes reading the stickies in the forum boards helps more than asking the same question which has been answered several times in past. Wink

Also you wont be rank up until you get enough merits for the next rank. Since you were so eager to know activity increments my best guess would be that your next thread in Meta will be asking about the merit system. Tongue
7818  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crash recoveries are not moons on: June 24, 2018, 08:40:30 AM
Still, the percentage of Bitcoin's dominance in the market does not decrease, but it grows, so investors buy up Bitcoin, in the hope of growth and will soon raise the stakes to fix profits.
Those market metrics of coinmarketcap are not necessarily correct. Still it can be assumed that every time the net capitalization of bitcoin decreases, investors are pulling out money and then whales may charge it and pump it up to a 5-figure amount. They are not the point of interest for small cap traders.

To some they are, probably because when they entered the trading world they bought the coins at a certain amount and when it increases like a minimum percentage they would think it is mooning. You can’t seriously blame them for thinking that, just educate them if you know better instead of saying things they maybe barely able to understand.
OP is not talking about such things. What OP means is that small increments should not be considered as btc to the moon.
New people watching the market will get elated at every small rise of price - if they dont watch the prior market scenario.
7819  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any gambling site that uses bitcoin? on: June 24, 2018, 08:27:43 AM
Majority of the crypto casino's does have bitcoin on their option. But I've seen also some casino's that is mainly focused with bitcoin cash and ethereum.
Crypto in the first place is bitcoin and because bitcoin has the biggest amount of SEO in web hence it will always the marketing ingredient of any casinos. Altcoins will also be there but they will be secondary to bitcoin. Of course if a casino is branded to be an altcoin casino then altcoin will be primary.

Most of the gambling websites will mostly for Bitcoin as the manor currency for gambling but i dont know about the offline because i never went to those casino. For online gambling, they will ask bitcoins for sure.
Most offline casinos accept fiat deposits. Though crypto is gaining a ground but its still not become that much mainstream or adopted by common gamblers. Online casino does not imply that they accept crypto. They can accept fiat too - which is the major.

Hello! We ask our community to leave a comment and their opinion about ROOMDAO. Is it forbiden ??

Quoted for reference.

It is forbidden to incentivize posts in your thread. Also known as ANN Shill bumping. It is considered as tagworthy by DT as well. Possibly the account(s) associated will also get banned from the forum.

Quote
Why you think its a problem?
Because you are creating fake buzz around our thread where people are coming to see it every second because it is being bumped in a shady manner. This is a good method to "Trick" investors into thinking that the project has a lot of potential while in reality it might not be so.
