But in the end what is the percentage of those who are really interested in BTC in terms of technology and not exclusively earnings?
I did not focus it only on merit, I still centered it on authentic posts which is the aim of this forum, if newbies checked authentic posts on this forum, there is no way he will not improve about bitcoin in terms of technology as well. The more newbies research, learn and post authentic contents on this forum, he will know more about bitcoin even in term technology and the more he will be given merits and the more he will rank up else no merits no ranking up.

8502  Other / Beginners & Help / What I have learnt so far, my advices for newbies. on: June 29, 2020, 12:14:24 PM
Introduction
I have noticed some new members on this forum are unable to earn merits, merits are important as they are used in ranking up from brand new member to legendary, most new members are unable to rank up because they did not posts quality contents, there are certain hidden things  but not hard to know about this forum to helping in ranking up. So, I decided to use this time to tell you some of these.

Before you can be qualified to earn merits on this forum you need to possess certain qualities, bitcointalk is not for everyone but for quality members, quality members are those that contribute to this forum in one way or the other, as a newbie that needs to rank up, you need to contribute, you need to have excellent knowledge about bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies and others sections pertaining to the forum, with this you need to posses these qualities:

Diligence
Even, without hardwork nobody can make it in life, some people are just here for money and got nothing because they do not know the forum is about learning and contributing knowledge, all they know is how to get money forgetting life is one step after the other. This forum are not for lazy people but for hardworking people, today can be tough but tomorrow will be better.

Patience
If I am not patient, I can not get to the full member position because I earned nothing but only posting on the forum, people only thinking about the bitcoin part but not about the contributing parts, you have to be patient because signature campaigns are not for newbies and it takes time before ranking up.

Believing in opportunities the forum can bring
This will be your fuel to make quality posts. I believe opportunities, but opportunities runs towords people that work for it. Work hard, be patient and opportunities will come, this is how someone can be one of the established members of this forum.

Admitting to corrections
Newbies are newbies and should admit to corrections,  I thought I knew all when I joined this forum but later knew I have known nothing, there are people here that read, sleep, wake up and everything they like doing is bitcoin and crypto related and for many years, that is why I always admit what high ranked members say and I later noticed they are always right, especially the legendary members.

Learning about the high ranked members
This is so important, learn what highly ranked members and merit sources do comment about, knowing how they comment and what and what exactly they comment, if you post or comment to posts like them, they will like your post and merit it.

Optimistic
This helps me a lot, I know with patience and hardwork I will get there one day, always thinking of better tomorrow, I have aims and goals of joining this forum and I know it will be done because I aim high and so you can do also.
 

How to rank up
Newbies do complain about one thing, that there posts are not merited, some will sign up all to ask how they can earn bitcoin or money, instead asking about the purpose, the aims and objectives of the forum rather than how to earn bitcoin and merits or to become a lengedary. Before newbie can earn bitcoin through signature campaign here, he needs merit to rank up gradually, and there are three main reasons your posts can earn merits.

Learning about the forum
The first step to earning merit is to learn about how the forum works, knowing what kind of posts can be merited, also know other things about the forum. Checking about merited posts is a prerequisite to earning merits because checking merited posts gives more information about how authentic and excellent the posts merited are, this really helped me.

Giving authentic information
No spamming, no plagiarism, no falsification of information to prove a point or write up,  no misinterpretation of valid points, reading from a legit and right source are requisites to earning merits, your write up and replies must be constructive, coherent, free from grammatical blunders and typing errors, it should be qualitative and useful.

Excellent in work
Do a thorough research to get valid points, giving no room to execuses. And excellent work will contain only authentic information. With this, some smerit givers will merit your posts. If your post is not merited, you will still be confident to report it in a thread created for unmerited posts.


Conclusion
You will have to work hard because this forum are not for lazy people, many newbies not getting ways to rank up because all they think about is to make bitcoin, but this forum main aim is to learn and contribute to learning which is the requisite to ranking up and earning from signature campaigns, that is why the most frequent saying of highly ranked members to newbies is that this forum is not about making bitcoin or money but about learning and contributing to the forum what you have learnt and experienced about bitcoin and other things pertaining to the forum.

8503  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who got the 10.000 bitcoins for the 2 pizzas? on: June 29, 2020, 10:56:03 AM
The name of the person that sold pizza for bitcoin was Jeremy Sturdivant (jercos),  Laszlo Hanyecz even thanked him on this forum for the successful trade of bitcoin for pizza





https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Jercos
Jeremy Sturdivant (jercos) was the counter-party to Laszlo Hanyecz in the first documented purchase of a tangible good or service using bitcoin. On May 22, 2010 Laszlo Hanyecz famously declared success in his four day quest to trade 10,000 BTC for “a couple of pizzas”, posting on a bitcointalk forum page:

“I just want to report that I successfully traded 10,000 bitcoins for pizza. Thanks jercos!”

According to jercos the transaction was finalized over IRC chats. Jercos was 18 at the time of the transaction. At one time in late 2013 10,000 bitcoins was worth over USD$12million.
8504  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to be your own cryptobank, earn interest, and cash out anonymously on: June 29, 2020, 10:01:47 AM
From the link
Code:
Additionally, by being your own bank with DAI stablecoin, you can participate in decentralized lending pools to earn anywhere between 1–10% interest on your DAI per year, significantly more than a typical bank account.

People will be thinking of earning 10%, but what is the chance that you will not earn as low as 1%, and this is annually/yearly. This is not profitable for my likely at all, Dai is a stable coin and no means of it to even increase like bitcoin.

Instead, I will wait carefully for bitcoin price to decrease and invest on bitcoin instead of believing in such annual unprofitable for professionals that will seem profitable for novices.

This made me hate Luno exchange, their withdrawal charges is high compared to Remitano, complicated verification system. Linking BVN to any organization in Nigeria is risky, so can we trust Luno?  Remitano has good volume, Nigeria naira wallet for easy transfer of fiat currency at any time including Saturdays and Sundays. Consider using Remitano and gone appreciate this thread.
In fact, if high level of privacy are to be maintained, p2p exchange that require no such verification is better, I will also prefer  Remitano because it support more coins, it supports, Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP),Tether (USDT). Binance coin(BNB), Cardano (ADA), EOS, Stellar's Lumen (XLM), and Tron (TRX for swapping).
8506  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Be careful of shitcoins on: June 29, 2020, 08:14:58 AM
This is the best call and all your words are most powerfull. Yes, we should advice all to invest in BTC and stay satisfied with it. As we can know from the previous history , all altcoins dump when btc is starting to make a rally or make a little dump. So, altcoins are nothing but just a exchanging things in exchanges and worthless without any exchange. But some of the altcoins have uniqueness and they do good in every markets. So, everyone can also take a look into those.  Cheesy
Not only bitcoin is the coin to invest on, ether, litecoin and EOS are all good coin someone can invest on too, but for people that do not know about crypto investment and trading, bitcoin is a good choice for such people, but investing in some altcoins are profitable for good traders, you can not see any good trader trading only bitcoin, that is not possible. But, it is easy to learn and less risky to invest in bitcoin than altcoin but not that altcoin can not be proftable excellent analyzes.
8507  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to easily buy and sell Bitcoin in Nigeria. on: June 28, 2020, 08:12:48 PM
The highest amount to deposit in Luno is N200,000.
The deposit limit depends on your verification. There are three verifications on Luno for deposit and withdrawal
For level 1: Phone verification: You can deposit/withdraw up to 200,000 naira
For level 2: ID verification: You can deposit/withdraw up to 500,000 naira monthly
For level 3: Proof of residence:  You can deposit/withdraw up to 10 million naira monthly

Luno charges N 150. For trading fee and N 200. For withdrawing directly to your bank account.
For makers, trading fee is free on Luno.

For privacy sake, I will prefer p2p exchanges like LocalBitcoins, Remitano or Paxful. It is also said above, cryptocurrencies  are legal in Nigeria, and you can purchase directly from exchanges that support credit cards like Binance.


P2P marketplace and Bitcon ATM is the best answers to buy and sell Bitcoin without submitting KYC
I do not know much about bitcoin marketcap in Nigeria but there are p2p exchnages like paxful, it is frequently used by Nigerians, but someone needs to be careful as some people use it for scam purpose, they must not release the bitcoin from escrow until they receive the money for bitcoin they are selling like you said above.

This may also interest you
Nigeria is among one of the countries that show huge growth interest in cryptocurrencies, according to coinmarketcap.

This forum is about cryptocurrencies, build your account here is better. This forum is where you can get access to true information rather than the channel you created.

Or, better still, establish your account to certain rank here before making such move.

People should also be careful of channels on telegram, scammers can be the brain behind it.
8509  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Authentication: Types, Risks/ Attacks, Advice on: June 27, 2020, 01:06:28 PM
It is true. I never ever use qr code when storing 2FA secret codes. I'd rather use the code itself and write on a paper for example or store it on a flash drives then you can keep it safe from leaking. It seems you are using google authenticator. Is it because where you can sync your account from the current device to other device which in my opinion is good but it also have disadvantage where the company that create that platform may have access to your credentials which is bad. I have been using google auth and Authy for 2 years.
You still do not give valid reason why QR code is not good for 2FA backup.

or store it on a flash drives then you can keep it safe from leaking
This method is not good enough, you can  write it down on a papar like you have ones said, you can laminate it for more safety.

When the map is broken, you have nothing to recover your 2FA but with secret key, if one of characters is blurred or broken, you still can guess it from the leftover of broken character.
When backing up QR code, the secret code is included.

Man Utd have only won the FA Cup once in the last 16 years - so it's about time they got it together.

I just had to check wiki on this because I was sure you were wrong here but no, you’re right. That’s crazy, I think because Ferguson won trophy after trophy after trophy I assumed they’d have won the FA Cup more frequently.

FA Cup
Winners (12): 1908–09, 1947–48, 1962–63, 1976–77, 1982–83, 1984–85, 1989–90, 1993–94, 1995–96, 1998–99, 2003–04, 2015–16
(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_United_F.C.)

DeathAngel is right, he said Man United have only won it ones in last 16 years which means from 2004/2005 to 2019/2020. It is only just only ones Man United won which was in 2015/2016. The last they won before 2015/2016 was in 2003/2004 which is seventeen years ago.

But it not yet certain Maybe united will win this season because strong clubs are still there to compete and other clubs can be surprising. This are the next matches.

Today
Norwich City ? - ? Manchester United

June 28
13:00Sheffield United ? - ? Arsenal
16:00Leicester City ? - ? Chelsea
18:30Newcastle United ? - ? Manchester City

Some people screen shot the 2FA backup QR codes including the backup words and characters, some also store the back up on their phones note, this is a poor and a non recommended way to back up 2FA, instead, you should do the paper printing, laminate it and put it in a place safe from damage and intruders(hackers)

We need to also be careful of hackers. Any device our wallets or our 2FA apps are installed, we need to make it safe from malware, trojan horse is able to reveal the 2FA code, also are some malware like rootkit that can reveal detail informations stored on your device, in this way, it can steal the 2 FA backup screen shot.

Make sure your device is free from malware, and do a paper printed 2 FA backup.

There is one also I will like you to include, andOTP 2 factor authenticator, it is also good and open source.

8512  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What will happen to Bitcoin after all 21 million are mined? on: June 26, 2020, 11:47:18 AM
These transaction fees could potentially rise to many thousands of dollars or more per block as the number of transactions on the blockchain would eventually grow.
It will still take more than a decade before all bitcoin will be mined, we do not really know what could happen, but I do not think the transactions fee can be as high as thousands of dollars because:

First, bitcoin transaction fee may increase to an extent that more people will prefer to use lightning network which makes the transaction faster and at low fee charges, this could be one of the solutions to increasing bitcoin transaction fee.

Second, there could be another bitcoin improvement proposals that could gain bitcoin community interest in such a way to reduce the increasing bitcoin transaction fee.

But I am not disputing the fact that bitcoin transaction fee will increase, it will surely increase because the adoption of bitcoin will increase, the price will increase and this will results in transaction fee inceease, but increase to as high as thousands of dollars will discorage people which I believe is not possible.
8513  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion: Make it just a little more difficult to create a new account. on: June 26, 2020, 02:07:39 AM
In my opinion, the merit system is enough to shapen this forum, even  creating two accounts will be hard for newbies to develop, it takes time to even develop one account to Hero rank not to talk of Legendary. Most of the new accounts are for bounties but if not for bounties, it will be hard for a single person to develop two accounts.

I like this forum because we are many, if our population is reduced to thousands from the present millions, this forum will actually not be in balance, many signature campaigns will leave, many people will not be able to join or register for bounty campaigns, in a negative feedback, many of us will leave, the members will reduce until Bitcointalk fold up.
8514  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is this right on: June 26, 2020, 01:37:34 AM
Yeah it's perfectly fine and recommended to do stuff like this.
Preferably the user should point to parts of the text that are relevant to them/the topic but it doesn't violate anything imo.
Okay. Thank you, I just want to be sure, I am still not stale on this forum and this is so new to me. That means we can copy and paste articles from another site but we should include the source link.

8516  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which coins are bad to invest in on: June 26, 2020, 12:55:26 AM
I am wondering how one can find a hidden gem of a coin that has a lot of potential to grow in the next 5 years or so.
Nobody knows tomorrow but analyzing coins individually and patiently can really help, no other ways to know than to analyze the coins, using indicators, especially RSI. Buying the coin at appropriate time is very important, buying at low price,  you will have to wait until the coins fall in price greatly, even to a certain lowest level it was in 6 months time to a year.

I'm thinking of a long term investment of sorts. How does one differentiate from scam coins versus legitimate coins that will grow in the upcoming years?
New projects can be pumped but subjected to manipulations because of its low marketcap, it can easily be dumped. I will advice you to invest on coins with high marketcap, the coins should have been existing for a long time so you will be able to analyze it and also not to fall victim of a coin that will be dumped. So, bitcoin is a good example, ether is another good example. Some altcoins can even be more profitable but they are also more risky.

New projects are mostly scam coins that will be pumped and dumped.

Hello, guys. Please I'm looking for a loan of $1000 to start up a business,selling clothes so I can support my family. I'd be sure to pay back in six months. Please help me as to how I would be able to get this loan. Please anyone🙏

Post quality posts rank up and be a legendary or an established member to easily receive such kind of loan, else look for other means.

I need a reputable webpage to buy bitcoin with a credit card..I am from Japan and binance doesn't support my country, i also tried some Swiss exchange and Estonia exchanger they turn out to be a scam, i need really quick webpage to buy btc and i also hate simplex..

i would appreciate your help...

I do not know about that, it is surprising that you can not buy bitcoin from Japan on binance, but you can try other exchanges which you can use to buy bitcoin directly from Japan, you can use localbitcoin, or coinmama for the purchase. You can read more about this on https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/japan/.

You can also use bitfinex but they have low reputation after it was hacked in 2016, 120,000 btc was stolen from the exchange.

This is not hard, how are you sending to fiat before? Is it through bitcoin, ethereum, ripple or any other coin? You will have to give the person an exchange tether address, telling him to send you the tether through the address. You can use good exchanges like binance or kucoin for that or any exchange you use and like. You can convert easily to any of the coin you do receive fiat, it is as simple as that.
