Update: Marlboroza has now stolen in an industrial center.

He was seen drunk driving a forklift out of a cement factory with a pallet of Quick Lime, headed toward a residential center. He was shouting obscenities in Spanish at a 4G phone as he drove off, wearing what looked to be a pair of vibrating panties on his head. Estimated total value of theft: $65.

Disclaimer: this report is 80% speculation and 100% untrue.

Ah, what have we here, another bump bot added to the list. I'm up to 22 of you so far. Impressive to all be controlled by the same person.

if I were an investor I would steer clear of projects which have to hire fake conversation makers in order to promote their project.

evidence coming soon.

Did you know that you're talking to a bump bot?

Doesn't it get exhausting talking to yourself all day long? Surely your "job" of bumping threads must be madness inducing.

Which part is false? That those girls are under 18 or that Calvin Ayre isn't disgusting in general?

The point is SV is backed by and attracts some genuine douchebags.

Yep, really dumb to accept a zero confirmation tx at a BTC ATM. Or for any purpose, really, unless you absolutely trust the sender. Is that really even a crime? I guess taking the money without paying the BTC is, but I wonder what they are actually going to be charged with (if caught).

The forum allows promotion of scams up to a fault IMHO.

He already got thickly red painted. Not much more anybody can do.

I think if a scammer has been proven in court to have broken laws and convicted, then their account could be banned and even deleted. Up to that point, accounts are never banned or deleted for scam promotion.

This member was convicted of running a Ponzi scheme and served time in prison, and his account can still be found on the forum. Not sure if he was banned or not but I'm going to guess "yes."

If anybody wants to know the most recent status of the petro (though it seems to hardly be relevant any more except for its association with cryptocurrency), chances are high it doesn't actually exist.

Somebody recently uncovered an account with a huge negative balance (equivalent to about $21 million), suggesting it doesn't use a blockchain at all.



Too bad for all the Venezuelans that got caught up investing in it, though it couldn't have been very many, and I suspect most investors were run-of-the-mill crypto people, some of them from this forum.

I think Maduro has bigger problems to worry about the moment.

That's hilarious. It would be great to be able to send bitcoins you don't have, wouldn't it?

The only way this could happen is:

1. Their code is severely fucked.
2. They aren't using a blockchain at all.

Fair point. I just have a personal aversion to the term as its usually associated with "get rich quick" schemes on the forum.

There's really no such thing as "passive income." There's legitimate income and then there's income from scams, like MLMs and Ponzis. With investing and lending you still need to exercise extreme diligence in order to make a profit, so I wouldn't call those "passive" either.

The whole point of using Lightning is that its faster and cheaper than on-chain transactions. If you set your channel fee too high people will bypass it and you will make less income than you did by setting a low fee. If the cost of doing a lightning transaction supersedes that of an on-chain transaction, people will simply revert to transacting on-chain.

Also, its not overly simple to set up and maintain your own lightning node (though it is a lot easier today than it used to be). Maintaining a consistent internet connection, having to pay for that and the electricity of running your computer also need to be factored into the overall cost.

This may be the case but for whatever reason CMC has decided to re-include HitBTC volume. Yesterday the total volume was ~$2,500 and today its back up to $129,651.

In addition, JPM Coin will _not_ be redeemable anywhere else other than in this JPMorgan universe of financial products. You can do all the things with it you would a dollar, except use it anywhere else.

How's Bohol treating you Mic? I'm getting antsy, I'm afraid your beach pictures made me jealous -- will probably do some exploring tomorrow. Run into any other Belgians in your travels?

Thanks for the sagely advice. I have 2 of the 3 things going for me, so far so good. There's really no getting around bad neighbors besides moving, you're certainly correct about that, and you can't very well wait for them to move first.

To OP: you hit the nail on the head. I stayed in school for as long as possible to avoid growing up, but alas it is inevitable. Don't discount your chances of making it out of the rat race. Also, just remember that money isn't everything. There's plenty of people that have it made and are still completely miserable (a lot of them are on this forum, lol).

You basically copy/pasted this information from the Cardano.org website. Why?

Original source:


Meanwhile the block explorer shows ADA is still transacting roughly 2 transactions a minute on average. Pretty weak sauce for a multi-billion dollar coin.

Obviously you're allowed to talk on this thread but to whine about your losses every single day in huge red font is either suspicious or a sign that you're crazy.

Nobody is taking you seriously with that tactic.

You can't blame a larger loss in ETH and BTC on them -- its not like they are controlling those prices.

As for the price of the NIM coin -- most coins are down 90% since the beginning of 2018. That's just the way the cookie crumbled. If you keep repeating the same FUD every single day you are actively diminishing the chance of recovery of your investment, I hope you understand that.

What does it matter to you if they do or not? You're assuming that lightning will cut down miner fees, which are only a small portion of the block reward. Lightning isn't meant to take away from what is currently in place, its meant to accommodate future growth. In addition, as I mentioned and you glossed over, block rewards won't disappear for over 120 years.

So your whole narrative is bogus.

I don't know if you get paid to do this or you do it for fun, but I sure hope its the latter. If not, your employer isn't getting their money's worth and should up the quality of their troll standards.

Mined by AntPool... chances aren't looking good!

Lightning is an extremely tiny portion of the total transaction volume. This is a funny narrative that you've constructed to shill your fork of an altcoin, and nobody believes you. Mining won't come to a stop due to lightning because for as long as you and I are alive there will always be a block reward. The last bitcoin won't be mined until 2140, so its not really a problem to be concerned about for the next 120 years.
