If the ban was received precisely for these messages, then they were written back in 2017
Should when an offence was committed matter when its consequence is being dealt out ? I think a big NO.. The fact that they were posted in 2017 doesn't change the fact the it was a stolen content/opinion. However, I doubt anyone will spend much trying to dig into user's posts as way back as 2017 to find plagiarism if his/her posts have not being found fishy(or guilty) in recent times.
8182  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Would you use this app? on: December 02, 2018, 08:42:40 AM
Yes, I'll be interested in using such app, I currently use a telegram bot to get notification about transactions on my wallets. Just a few questions where the app be drawing it price informations from because there can be relevant price difference across exchanges, will the application be an open source ?

At least I'm glad to see sMerits are being put in good use by the few people who send them !  Cool
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=3

It's been only 8 years since his/her/their last activity!

In my opinion an educative/quality post can't be outdated.
If a plagiarist is or an unworthy post is found after 10 years, wouldn't he/she be banned or the post get deleted ?
It shouldn't matter how long a post has been so far it is considered helpful or merit-worthy, and moreover as a user I guess I've barely read about 0.1% of the thread on here and should I come across a post that I learn something new from or find helpful I shouldn't give it merit simply because of when it was posted ?
8184  Other / Meta / Re: Report plagiarism (copy/pasting) here. Calling for Mod action: please permban on: November 29, 2018, 12:41:10 PM

Here comes a scenario I have been looking forward to, I don't know if this would be considered as plagiarism, If the OP is indeed the owner of the medium account just as the Username and The Medium blog page suggests.
8185  Other / Meta / Re: Reporter Statistics on: November 29, 2018, 12:10:48 PM
I'm interested to see what happens when metameritsnafflers cotton on to OP's seeming policy of "a merit for a reply" on this thread.
Not for me thanks mate, I'm good.

I doubt it is such a bad idea, IMO if this is what users get merited for then it's quite worth it and each user would rather be aware of the chances that their unworthy posts will get reported.

Seeing the statistics here, I most probably still have a long way to go  Shocked

maybe if the government supports bitcoin I think it's a pretty good change and certainly follows the development of the era and technology which is certainly growing too

The last thing bitcoin needs for now will be government supports, as I'm sure that will bring about new rules and regulations for bitcoin adoption and practices as well for hodlers or traders in their respective countries, If that should come to place a lot of adopters will lose trust in bitcoin.
8187  Other / Meta / Re: Original account hacked - help restore on: November 28, 2018, 07:43:22 AM
Sorry mate but in the next time use 2FA ,  recently i'm begun used it and sleep calm.

2FA ? Let me guess, It's either you probably don't know what 2FA means for you to think you can use on it Bitcointalk or You're just shitposting for the sake of your signature.

OP, I wish you luck with your account recovery.
8188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Crypto Currencies today ! on: November 27, 2018, 04:51:25 PM
Like other traders, I'm curious as to why the Crypto market is as bad as it is today, is there a particular reason?

I doubt there's a specific reason, some factors could have had their own effect on the market ranging from suspended ETF's approval, Bakkt postponement and BCH hard fork hashwar, all these might have had a negative influence on the market but it's also possible these are mere coincidental events with the bear market.
8189  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should I invest to Bitcoin or Ethereum? on: November 27, 2018, 12:52:53 PM
Bitcoin and Ethereum are cheap now, they are still top best coins and you should invest in both now.
Yes, I agree with you on this one, diversification is the best way to prevent or reduce investment risks, no one could tell when or which coin will become more valuable. If I'd rather have my invest in one, then I'd prefer to invest in bitcoin instead of ethereum.
8190  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you still believe in crypto? on: November 26, 2018, 07:50:47 PM
Of course, I wouldn't be here If I've lost all my trust in cryptocurrency. Just because there's a down trend of value doesn't mean my perspective has to change as well. I'm in for the longer game not just for a temporary time which is my I'm unmoved by the current situation of the crypto market.
8191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will you cash out your bitcoins for Black Friday? on: November 25, 2018, 01:14:44 PM
I thinks theres nothing wrong to cash out our bitcoin on black friday as long as we can gain good profit theres nothing to worry about

I 'm pretty sure people who bought BTC at a rate of above $12,000 will also agree with you on this ? I mean, why would Someone cash out of an investment that would result in relatively high amount of loss just to buy some items of 10-50% discount, and moreover, considering the discount wouldn't even amount to 20% of investment loss.
8192  Other / Meta / Re: [Suggestion]To draw more attention to the rules! on: November 25, 2018, 07:59:12 AM
My Suggestion:

1. Create a Forum Rules Button on the Top Buttons Bar and when you click on it you get to the Forum Rules.

2. Since usually in every subforum the rules are pinned, one could highlight the font in color so that the thread becomes more attentive to the rules.

I think this suggestion indeed will bring some attention to the forum rules,
I'd also suggest that after registration, users be redirected to the thread Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ. With this being the post everyone first get to read after sign up, we can then be sure that users willingly chose to break rules if found guilty.
8193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you make up for the huge loss. on: November 24, 2018, 09:16:21 PM
If you're still in possession of your assests, it shouldn't be considered a loss until you've sold them for less than the value you purchased them for. Making up for huge losses is easier said than done but if you believe whatever assets you've invested in still has a chance of becoming valuable again, I'd advice you hold them and (If you've spare funds you could use)  try to invest more into them now that they are cheap to reduce your average price for the assets.
8194  Economy / Speculation / Re: Would Bitcoin become irrelevant or remain the King? on: November 23, 2018, 09:05:23 AM
Bitcoin had already set a pace for which others are following, and so far, none has even come close but, should eventually any coin surpasses bitcoin (Which I find very unlikely, at least not for the nearest future), Still bitcoin wouldn't become irrelevant and will still always be reference point for how the whole cryptocurrency came into play.

The price drop isn't showing that great either!

As for the price fall, that has nothing to do with bitcoin dying or becoming irrelevant; It is all due to the big players at their game, it will all be over soon.
8195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH: Deep crash before going to the moon? on: November 22, 2018, 07:50:22 PM
Yes, maybe that's the current phase of the crypto cycle we are stuck in but, until there happen to positive changes, no one can say for sure how long the so called "moon" will take to arrive that's if it eventually come around to Ethereum, because I'm quite sure some coins in this deep state will never get to see the earth surface again let alone think of going to the moon.
8196  Economy / Economics / Re: Sick and tired of the cryptocurrency bullshit!!! on: November 21, 2018, 06:35:39 PM
As the saying goes, "It's you go hard or you go home",  No one said you'd have it easy here and no business is always fair, not even in the real world, You can't always win or have things go your way or however you might have wanted it to go, Every market has it's manipulative factors or parties. Understanding what are you're venturing into is paramount, and you can use it flaws to your advantage.
8197  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: would XRP be the Standard in the future? on: November 21, 2018, 01:59:33 PM
I wouldn't imagine XRP being a standard in the future simply because, the main purpose of the of cryptocurrency is to provided decentralization and no regulation from central body or authority, regardless of XRP's recent popularity and market cap accumulation, it has been proven that ripple is actually getting more centralized over time and for the fact that "Ripple Holds Most of The XRP"

Quote
With most digital currencies, the tokens are mined by people or rather miners who validate transactions on the network and are then awarded block rewards. However, Ripple avoided this structure and pre-mined all the XRP, which are about 100 billion in total. The firm kept 60 billion XRP and released the rest to the market. They later pledged to lock away 55 billion XRP and could only release a maximum of 1 billion coins if they needed to finance their projects. However, the company has never come close to that, and the most they have ever released was 300 million XRP. The biggest concern in this strategy is that they could dump all the coins which would negatively affect the XRP price, but that is highly unlikely. - Quora.com

The highlighted bold part states it is unlikely, not impossible! Why would we want such cryptocurrency to be regraded as the standard in the future ? That would mean a total deviation from the cryptocurrency goal.
8198  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC 4000$ and ETH 100$ Now, what happened in crypto market? on: November 20, 2018, 12:31:30 PM
There are so many controversial news/events surrounding the market and as such made it fall beyond redemption at least for this year, that's my opinion. Hopefully we could have a significant change in the 1st quarter of next year and that would subjected to if there aren't as much controversial news surrounding the market as we are currently witnessing.
8199  Other / Meta / Re: [Review] Bitcointalk App by unknown user on: November 19, 2018, 11:39:20 AM
Thank you for sharing this. I already have created a thread in B&H regarding this since newbies will be the victim at most.
Don't use bitcointalkapp!!!
Oh, I had no idea a thread has been created already, I searched in the wrong section, perhaps. I'm sure the OP chose to post in the Altcoin Discussion section simply because it will be less filled with knowledgeable members.

I barely think this app will be something worthy for us.
That was my notion too, but a BTCitcointalk app would be very useful to users to have the site on the go with have to go through the stress of zooming in and out to read a post, and it will also provide more security to users, I guess on the cons it will be too resource (the forum has) and time demanding for updates and bug fixes.
8200  Other / Meta / [Review] Bitcointalk App by unknown user on: November 19, 2018, 10:59:02 AM
I stumbled upon this thread
link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5070230.msg47952058#msg47952058
OP profile link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2474646

Hi guys,
we have just finished the beta version of bitcointalk app
you will be able to use bitcointalk.org on your phone now!(both Android and iOS are supported)
try it out here
https://bitcointalkapp.com
Hope this is what you guys needed!

I'm not trying to criticize the OP or his/her work as it would be of great benefit to the forum at large but, I doubt the app or website can be trusted just yet as there hasn't been any form of verification of it being malware free, or just a mining app that could compromise users phone and considering the OP is a new account makes it more likely to be either, maybe both.

Hopefully we could have well knowledgeable members here verify the app and website.

PS: I don't know if this is the appropriate section for this thread, Mods should move it to the right section.
