Gambling is prohibited in many countries. Again it is not prohibited but regulated in some countries. Overall this is the setting of the physical casinos. Bitcoin casinos (nowadays) are getting registered properly. But some are there which prefer the anonymity that crypto provides and not get registerd. Being registered only brings in more trouble. Taxation, legal problems with customers and all.


No. A lot more than that.

It is not a question of making anobody "unhappy" or "hurt" and in true sense everybody knows that emotions have got zero space in the internet. If someone trolls you either get with it or move on. I am happy seeing the merit system make a mess of the organised shitposting spree that bottomfeeding scum had going on in this forum for several years.

Again I am no happy seeing the threads coming up in "Meta" being a cry baby about merit.

While I do appreciate TMAN's effort in trying to help out potentially good posters get merits which I why I watch this thread, I hardly give my sMerits to any of them simply because they dont deserve a single sMerit.

You must be joking. The number of shitposts in this forum is so huge that merit sources would actually have to be ninjas to actually be able to merit all worthy posts and not overlook any.

I have no idea what you mean by "scale-able" in this context though.


Merit sources are increasing. There is a method to apply as merit source as well. Also theymos has advised local board posters to apply as merit sources so that people who post in the local threads will also have a chance to earn some merits.

True the distribution of merit sources patrolling is having a lower "exposure" - but only time can tell how it will go.

Its not encryption market. Its crypto market. Arggh stop visiting the site using a translator - it makes the posts utter non-sense to read - equivalent to shitposting.

Yes crypto market did fall a lot and if you have lost money through it then nobody can help you. It was your decision to buy crypto and thus you have to deal with market fluctuation profit/loss. If you believe in those coins which went down - hold them till they rise again and then sell when they appear green from your buying point.

Overall patience is what is lacking in the younger traders.

What the hell do you mean by "Bitcoin is a lot of people" ? Bitcoin is a currency for heavens sake and not a group of people. I believe you are using a translator to view and post in the forum which is why you posts seems to be non-sense jumbled up. Better for you to learn English first before posting.

You are correct that in future the adoption of bitcoin will increase and this will actually make bitcoin scarce even if the supply is being done by miners. This does not mean that bitcoin is "growing" - it shows the economic liquidity of bitcoin and that new traders are coming into the market.

But parents wont want their innocent kids to kill each other while playing would they? They need to impose some restrictions or at least some sort of marking system in order to mark those who are potential scammers and since bitcointalk is the ground for signature spammers; shitposters and account farmers as well.

Those who buy/sell account do it for either of these purposes:
1. Scamming by hiding under the "Elder Rank" that the bought has. Gullible newbies often fall prey of them.
2. Shitposting to get paid from campaigns - the "who does not like free money" is the root cause of this forum garbage.

Even if you try to teach the gamblers some morals of life - they will never learn or get over their habits. They understand that its bad for their time money health and their family. But still they will gamble until they are stretched thin and even in debt. They realize that the house will win in the long run and they are wasting their resources trying to run after the jackpot but it of no use telling them.

Possibly they have become resistant to people giving them advice on how to be a "good" gambler.

Demand is when new people enter into the crypto market. They are willing to buy bitcoins and altcoins and thus putting in their fiat money into the crypto economy. Supply is constantly from the miners and is deflationary in nature. Thus the future prices are bound to increase as long as there is a steady demand of coins.

Again new people entering the market will be less experienced and thus it is the opportunity for the old traders to cash out some money while they buy.

Classic example of the third world nigerian shitposters in the forum trying to make a few bucks for "weed money". Get a life and get out of this forum. Nobody is going to spoonfeed you like a babydoll. All the answers are in the forum threads and stickies.

First rule in becoming a member of any forum - reading the rules a 100 times before making your first post. But then what are mods for? We will shit in the forum and mods will nurse and clean us.

You have been marked with red with reference to : Found some members selling, buying account

Accounts sales are going on in the forum and outside forum but this allows shitposters and scammers to enter into the white coats of a known/reputable person who sold their account. In other words its shady AF and thus DT has to mark them as red to prevent others from getting scammed or to render the account useless for shitposters.

Also I am not on DT but I mark account sellars with red because it matters to me since they are not be trusted. For now you only have to deal with it because account selling and all are non-pardonable. What matters to you is the rating Lauda gave which I am sure will never be removed.

Even if Lauda is removed from DT, other people will take their place and continue marking them with red.

PS. This thread should be moved to "Reputation".

In order to stamp the said accounts as alt-accounts possibly controlled by the same person, you need to gather enough proof to show that they are the same person. Like same bitcoin/ethereum wallets in their control, same social media accounts and so on. Without such proof you cannot declare them as alt-accounts and/or bounty cheaters.

Once you gather all the necessary proofs make a post here in the proper format.
Known Alts of any-one - A User Generated List Mk III (2018 Q2)

DT member Lauda keeps an eye on this thread and marks all those alt account bounty cheaters with a red mark if proven beyond reasonable doubt. Good Hunting!

Price is effected by both supply and demand. The second part of your comment is an assumption - that you have and possibly you belong to that group of people. Demand for crypto will never decrease - because of the deflationary nature of the supply. Every minute some bitcoin when lost the others holding coins have their coins worth slightly increased.

Again fear is a common thing among every investor. But they should learn to mitigate the risks - which can be done by different methods.

Improving your English has nothing to do with Merit. Posts are merit-able according to different factors based on the subjective nature of the merit sources. Now a badly written post will obviously get less merits or not merits at all. Again in your Local Boards - non-English posts will get merited too.

Shitposters come from every portion of the world (and beyond) so nobody is to blame if the 3rd world people or the 1st world people are complaining. TMAN is being very lenient with Merits but if you shitpost like this then forget about getting any "exposure" 

Crypto society is not another uptopian or cyberpunk society. It is the same as the normal society that you have grown up in. If you mean to say that because of signature campaigns and bounties in this forum - there is an increase in price of crypto then my friend you are grossly mistaken. This would be a good topic of disucussion but this is not the place nor time for that.

Bounty "politics" will not change - and even changing then will bring up a lot of uproar from the shitposter mobs in the forum. So get used to it and stop complaining.

The "bounty hunting" (lol) scumbag merit-hunters dont deserve a single merit on any of their posts. Let them make half-English vomit posts and be a cry-baby if then cant accept and move on.

That is quite "OK"
If thats what you idea of "quite ok" is then you are a part of the shill bumper cults in this forum - scum of the forum who should face the ban hammers.

Yeah and thats why this good project's ANN in the forum went to the shitposter garbage-can. All bunch of third world shitposters joined in the grab some "free cash" bandwagon. Makes you a part of the lists above. Also I need to update those a bit because its been about a month since the last post I made here.

Ironic isnt it?

So how does that matter? If they dont make quality posts then are not going to be awarded merits - thus they wont rank up. Having a high activity but zero merits is what is going to render their shitposting farming attempts useless. One of the reasons why merit system is Successful

Irrelevant because BUMPs are definitely not meritable. Also new bumps, if done, then previous bumps need to be deleted and there are restrictions about bumping a thread - once per 24hours.
So how does that matter at all to Merit system?

Because of people like you who make comments without having a basic understanding. Your post would be a shit-post and worth getting a demerit (if it existed) if you ask me.

I dont know why you are not able to understand what I said in the post I quoted. But I will make it even simpler. Being good or bad depends on what is good or what is bad. If we talk about being good in gambling - then its a bluff because in gambling long term profit is negative. Being a good person is different.

A person can be a good human being but a gambler at the same time. The latter does not make the person a bad human being unless their gambling habits take over their better half.

There is a difference between new traders and old traders. This is knowledge that the old traders have gained. The mentally resistance stance that they have while new traders are going to panic sell on a single line drop in price. This is not a comparison between traders of today and yesterday. The yester-year trading was simply buy and sell - when bitcoin had not become popular.

Again investing today does not mean a good return tomorrow in every case. Its relative and depends on how much time you can give for holding or stop/loss.

Why dont you create some bot for countering these bots and then we can all be happy? The forum has some bounty managers who check posts/tweets using bots. I dont know if its ethical or if it reduced labour at all but its there. Then we have bot-posting shitposters - they quickly get nuked though.

A lot of things have been thought out by many people in the forum for its development. Have you seen the beta.bitcointalk - I believe that is the correct link, where a lot of changes have been done since epochtalk migration will happen - but nobody knows the ETA.
