<…> We are waiting for the DdmrDdmr data dump to see your result in the background.
Are you referring to the data in the first 4 tables of this thread?: Nº días necesarios para llegar a 1K, 2K, 3K y 4K méritos (in Spanish, but the tables are easy to interpret). I’ve just updated all the tables on that thread: - The first posts display the amount of time an account took to reach 1k and/or 2k and or 3k and or 4k earned merits. Here I’m considering as a starting point the most recent date between the date of the Merit System kick-off, and the date the account was created (not first merited on). - Subsequent tables on posts number 8 and 9 display the shortest time interval than an account took to reach 1k and/or 2k and or 3k and or 4k earned merits, from any point in time. In both cases, I’m counting the number of distinct days needed (disregarding the time). I readjusted the content of the first 4 posts accordingly, in relation to prior calculus updates, so as to be aligned to the remaining tables (+1 day). According to my data, @bullrun2020bro is the sixth quickest to reach 1k earned merits (259 days since account creation in his case), although the shortest period of time to gain 1k merits was 245 days (2020-01-24 .. 2020-09-24) – 20th fastest 1k earned interval.

Datos a fecha 25/09/2020
He procedido a actualizar, los datos de los posts 1..9, con los datos más recientes de hoy.
A modo de recordatorio:
a) Las tablas de los posts 1..4 muestran, para cada miembro del foro que ha logrado llegar a los 1k y/o 2k y/o 3k y/o 4k méritos ganados (no procedentes del airdrop inicial), el tiempo que ha tardado desde el arranque del sistema de méritos o de la creación de su cuenta (el que sea más reciente de estos dos valores).
b) Las tablas de los posts 8 y 9 buscan el intervalo de tiempo menor, en el cual el usuario obtuvo esos 1k y/o 2k y/o 3k y/o 4k méritos ganados.
- Los días los cuento por días UTC distintos, sin contemplar las horas.
- No estoy manteniendo traza de los cambios por ahora, pero con esta actualización me consta la inclusión de 4 o 5 miembros del foro en la lista de 1K méritos ganados, entre los cuales figura @bullrun2020bro (principio de la primera tabla) y @d5000 (final de la segunda tabla).Tambien hay una entrada nueva en la tabla de los 4k.

Esto parece ir al hilo de lo que has ido comentando estos días, y está recién salido del horno a modo de Preguntas y Respuestas: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/QANDA_20_1685https://www.eleconomista.es/mercados-cotizaciones/noticias/10789144/09/20/Bruselas-se-lanza-a-regular-criptoactivos-como-Libra-o-bitcoin-y-quiere-hacerlo-a-lo-grande.htmlSegún se desprende, el horizonte temporal del marco que se está forjando es el 2024. En el texto arriba indicado, destacaría: - La necesidad de que los Exchanges y otros servicios custodios tengan presencia física en la UE (con todos los requisitos de turno), y separar sus activos de los de sus clientes. Tendrán a su vez requisitos de IT para evitar ciberataques y hackeos (bastante al respecto en el documento). - Mucho énfasis en la regulación de los stablecoins, con controles y supervisión de los mismos. - No pretenden cargarse el efectivo. - Pagos en la EU más efectivos y económicos, con un sistema que tienda a no hacer que Europa dependa de los grandes actores globales. Bitcoin sólo e cita una única vez (para decir que no está respalda por nada … en contraposición a los que lo son por fiat o bienes). Creo que realmente no añade nada sobre lo que ya referenciaste, si acaso el formato Q&A, y es más sucinto en alcance explicativo.

I wonder what is the cost of one Bitcoin withdrawal?
Easy, just go to any Bitcoin ATM site listed on https://coinatmradar.com/ and check their current Buy conditions. Mind you, the information may not always be up-to-date, so a complementary check through the ATM’s contact information may come in handy before actually going to one of them. Does the number of Bitcoin ATMs reflect the number of people using this service?
There no circulating information that I’m aware of on the actual number of TXs per Bitcoin ATM, and their value per site or territory. I guess that ATM vendors do provide some sort of background when they pitch a sell, but it’s not something I’ve seen around. In Germany, illegal ATMs were dismantled. What about the above Bitcoin ATMs, are they completely legal?
The information con CoinATMRadar is basically collaborative, where by people voluntarily relay information on these Bitcoin ATMs (i.e. https://coinatmradar.com/submit/). They do not validate the legality of the installations themselves.

Since tomorrow we receive the new Merit.txt file, it’s probably better to wait for that update, in order to have the most recent version. It should therefore be ready tomorrow (max. Saturday). I’ll let you know when it’s done, and I’ll trim the information on child boards from it (leaving the granularity at subsection level again).

Las criptomonedas, que nacieron con espíritu de tener un uso operativo, no especulativo/inversor (pero es dónde estamos hoy por hoy), son elementos de riesgo inherente dada su fluctuación en precio. Ahí también está la ganancia, pero es impredecible ver qué va a suceder con certeza. Toma por ejemplo Bitcoin. Si compraste el en 2016 (por no irnos muy atrás), su valor puede ahora darte una ganancia de x20. Si comprase en cambio a finales del 2017, ahora estarías con pérdidas (conceptuales si no lo vendes) del 50%. https://coinmarketcap.com/es/currencies/bitcoin/Hoy he leído que cierto token DEFI había perdido el 99% de su valor en este último mes (ej/ https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/news/defi-is-not-ready-for-mass-adoption-as-it-is-too-risky-and-complicated-gartner-reports-202009240824). Por tanto, debes ser muy precavida en qué inviertes, si diversificas o no, conocer tu tolerancia al riesgo, y tener claro que puedes llegar a perder una buena parte de la inversión (o puede que todo lo contrario …). Si te lo estás planteando en serio, me tomaría un buen tiempo para leer, leer y leer al respecto, y nunca, en todo caso, confíes en nadie que se ofrezca a ayudarte de manera directa a manejar la inversión. Desafortunadamente, hay una buena proporción de maleantes agazapados tras el semi-anonimato de internet y las criptomonedas.

Their play though, may often lead to an automated human social network reaction, leading to the followed to follow back the follower. That will help to build-up the scammer’s base of contacts and, at some point, start a 1-to-1 (or 1-to-many) scam campaign. Blocking them is the good move as you state, but many people will unfortunately just get excited and follow back (social media stunts such as likes, followers and merits, tend to cause a splash of dopamine), thus exposing themselves to their own gullibility being stimulate and tested by the scammers.

Amazing, just four posts in, and you’ve already been caught plagiarizing part of a post, adding some trailing lines that do not belong to the original source, denoting intent. So much for uniqueness …. Note: The forum, as well intended as people may be, is bound to be prone of incorrect information here and there. In general terms, it’s up to the reader to determine it something of interest is correct, by cross-referencing the information with other sources of information (be it posts here or information elsewhere), especially if they intend to act upon it. Posters may or may not have done that beforehand, and people learn more facts overtime (meaning that the learning curve will likely render imprecise information, reflected on people’s posts). Many posts are opinion based, and as with arses, everybody’s got one …

The thing is that Alien MaaS is like a middleware base for other crafty criminals to use as they see fit into their subsequent developments, potentially being implemented into an array of fake apps, and used to execute one or various of the malignant features listed in the referenced article in the OP, which include (I think it’s interesting to make them explicit here): • Overlaying: Dynamic (Local injects obtained from C2) • Keylogging • Remote access • SMS harvesting: SMS listing • SMS harvesting: SMS forwarding • Device info collection • Contact list collection • Application listing • Location collection • Overlaying: Targets list update • SMS: Sending • Calls: USSD request making • Calls: Call forwarding • Remote actions: App installing • Remote actions: App starting • Remote actions: App removal • Remote actions: Showing arbitrary web pages • Remote actions: Screen-locking • Notifications: Push notifications • C2 Resilience: Auxiliary C2 list • Self-protection: Hiding the App icon • Self-protection: Preventing removal • Self-protection: Emulation-detection • Architecture: Modular
A less technical article on the topic would be this one: https://www.zdnet.com/article/new-alien-malware-can-steal-passwords-from-226-android-apps/One worrying feature stated in the above article is that Alien provides native inbuilt capabilities that serve as a basis to create fake login pages from multiple banking entities, aside from social sites, besides Coinbase, Blockchain wallet, Mycelium, Luno, Spectrocoin.

There’s probably a clash of platform cultures here to factor in: The forum is more verbose prone, with posts that tend to be longer than a short one-liner, and this requires therefore more thought, than say, social network platforms such as Twitter and Telegram, where short dynamic answers are the grounds for communication. Those heavily into the latter may find it harder to earn merit here, unless they adapt their style.

A finales del 2019, Coinmetrics estimaba la cifra de Bitcoins perdidos en 1,5 Millones (ver re:Total Bitcoin lost to date?). Esa cifra, la del 1,5M estimada, parece una suerte de umbral inferior, que contempla lo conocido y los más probable, pero no hace una estimación de las pérdidas irreversibles en el día a día como hace es estudio de Cane Island. Otros estudios daban entre 3M y 4M los BTCs ya perdidos (ver https://unchained-capital.com/blog/geology-of-lost-coins/ - del 2018), pero lo interesante del estudio de Cane Island es su cálculo en el impacto del año a año, donde, efectivamente, la pérdida supera la generación de BTCs por día.

Lo que sucede es que la media móvil de 200 semanas te permite aplanar el efecto de las variaciones semanales, a fin de ver la tendencia con cierta perspectiva (larga) histórica, pero no puede reaccionar como modelo ante un cambio súbito del precio por acontecimientos. De hecho, la curva tardaría un tiempo notable en reaccionar y doblegarse al son de bajadas sostenidas, por el peso de las 200 semanas de datos. Recuerdo haber leído en el 2018 sobre modelos de predicción de precios, en este caso a un dia vista ( https://towardsdatascience.com/using-recurrent-neural-networks-to-predict-bitcoin-btc-prices-c4ff70f9f3e4). El problema es que para cuadrarlo no basta contemplar los datos numéricos del precio, sino que se deben ponderar factores externos como el sentimiento, el buzz, la regulación, etc., factores que son actores esenciales, pero que originan modelos muy complejos. En el caso que cito, las predicciones tenían pinta de parecerse a la realidad, pero no lo suficiente como para poder apostar tu inversión sobre el modelo. Ahora, no dudo que hay gente modelizando todo esto por doquier, y más aún si va a entrar dinero institucional en masa …

One fellow got lucky yesterday because I was messing around with code and added the wrong message Id to my meriting experimental code (missed a digit when manually typing the message id in the code): <…> Today at 11:39:46 AM: 1 to salsacz for Re: Nxt marketing & promotion :: Enjoy Nxt on Bitcoinwisdom (erroneoulsy awarded)
A screw-up on my side, with a stroke of luck on the other end (although the receiver seems to be an abandoned account). Joke’s aside, it’s rather more a question of having enough time and will to post than anything else. Of course, there is a complementary bag of goodies that contribute (expressiveness, non-repetitiveness, promptness, arguments, and so forth). By " will" I mean actually trying to get the post to be averagely meaningful. Note: Mods have little to no saying in cases of Merit abuse per se, since sMerit awarding is not moderated. Historically, DTs have tagged accounts on either end for actions of the kind, but it’s rather controversial and subjective, and not strictly in line with the Trust core spirit (commerce related).

In your posting history, you state that you’ve got a 15 year Track of betting, having at some point reached a dire situation. One of your betting tips on your posting history states " #5. Only stake on sport you have adequate knowledge of and never add emotions to it". That kind of applies here too. Considering stable coins as a potential means of investment, rather than stepping stones, means that you still need to get to know what they are really for (besides the risks they may entail), and that it is mandatory to do some considerable legwork before embarking on risky cryto investments. No risk, no ROI though …

The survey (*) has some meaning to Huobi, but it does not mean that the results of the survey may be extrapolated elsewhere. Huobi claims to server 5M customers worldwide (on their LinkedIn page). The sample size (491 people) may seem statistically fit with say a 5% margin of error and a confidence interval of 95%, but there are things to consider which may affect the results noticeably: - The survey is answered by Huobi customers (which may have an intrinsic bias per se vs other exchanges, and certainly from an objective point of view). - The survey states that the respondents are "active users in emerging markets across Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America". That leaves out the habits for North America for example. What’s more, Statista claims that 41,8% of the exchange’s visitors are from China ( https://www.statista.com/statistics/944257/share-of-huobi-visitors-by-country/). This could introduce a regional bias in the underlying data (which we cannot see). - How the questions themselves are set (and the available set of answers), which we cannot see. The information is valuable though to the Exchange itself, as it profiles to some extent some information on its own customer base (as I said, not necessarily extrapolable). (*) I could not find the original complete survey. It seems to have been released by means of conclusions in a press release ( https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/cryptocurrencies-are-primary-investments-for-many-finds-new-huobi-survey-301134622.html)

<…> By the way, does coinatmradar.com also deduct from their count those ATMs which are already non-functional?
If we check the Growth charts on their page, we’ll see that they have lines that represent a downward drop in the number of installed ATMs. You won’t see that on the Worldwide chart not the US chart (since the overall monthly number has always been increasing), but the other chars do (i.e. https://coinatmradar.com/charts/growth/austria/). The downward slopes are recent, so it is been kept up-to-date to a certain degree. ATMs are removed (or at least changed to "closed" as status) in accordance to user reports as described here: https://coinatmradar.com/blog/check-and-report-bitcoin-atm-status/

Yo no lanzaría las campanas al vuelo. El Bitcoin tiene que pasar por alguna crisis económica global de peso (y puede que la oportunidad esté sobre la mesa ahora), y posiblemente alguna guerra, para ver el Do de pecho que puede dar como reserva de valor. Personalmente, me cuesta ver como reserva a algo no material en caso de situación muy grave y duradera. Para las no tan graves es donde quizás tenga mayor cabida, pero carece por ahora de un histórico y de una masa que lo ampare claramente como corriente de reserva de facto. ¿Te parece insuficiente la crisis provocada por la pandemia?
En su estado actual sí (estamos en su desarrollo). Hay que esperar y ver el desarrollo de la misma y el uso de BTC como refugio efectivo.

La medida parece claramente definida para implementar el control y registro de toda la actividad minera de BTC y Alts efectuada por parte de residentes en Venezuela. El condicionante adicional aquí es que el gobierno podrá estar encima de toda traza de dicha actividad, y eso no es baladí en un país como Venezuela. los mineros que no se encuentren conectados al pool de minería nacional; estarán sujetos a las medidas de infracciones y sanciones dispuestas en el Decreto Constituyente sobre el Sistema Integral de Criptoactivos; mencionadas en el Capitulo V del Decreto Constituyente; el cual estipula multas de hasta trecientos criptoactivos soberanos y hasta cinco años de presión. ¿Esto supone en la práctica que no se podrá operar fuera del pool nacional? Nota: Venezuela tiene aproximadamente el 0,42% del hash rate global de BTC (ver https://www.criptonoticias.com/mineria/venezuela-10-paises-con-mayor-presencia-mineria-bitcoin/), y aunque no es una cifra despampanante, la ubica en la décima posición mundial.
