And it works with the portable version too, I use that pretty often.
I usually have a batch file (run.bat) with the content:

Quite bad if they care more about their "american things" than Bitcoin itself.



The problem is usually the trading/arbitrage bots for which the time is indeed critical. They trigger on every significant price change and cause a spike.

The wallets are indeed badly set, some of them even having some automatic big fee, especially services. Of course, they need to make sure the transactions go through in a matter of hours, to keep the service credibility, but the big fees may be also a mix of laziness and bad programming which cause everybody some loses (and bad publicity to Bitcoin too). Just they are used all day long without big effect on the mempool size, so the spike problem is not there.



I see LN still as a beta. I was over enthusiastic about it when it started getting used, but the time is passing and it's still not final/used at a big scale.
The next version of Electrum having it may (or may not) be quite a leap forward, but we are still far from paying in the supermarket with Bitcoin and LN (which is imho the goal).

I expect that most such wallets are either empty, either corrupted, so there's a very big chance you'll get, in a way or another, scammed.
With such a request you are basically asking for it.

The logic is quite good, although this is basically holding, not trading - the traders may prefer to lose a little now just to stay in the game. But I am holder, so I don't mind.
What I don't like in the logic is the USDT part. Holding is fine, but I don't trust USDT. There are a few stable coins which have proper 3rd party audit; I'd choose those instead of USDT.

He'll also need to get merit, for Jr Member 1 merit is enough, still it requires some useful posts to get it...

I understand your point very good, but you are not right.
In a forum like this, where quite a lot of things are permitted or seen lightly, bad language is not a real issue.

You can take it easy and move on, you can set on ignore the ones you don't want to see (in this case TMAN, but he's not the only one) ... or you can provide an interesting show to the popcorn fans. It's really up to you.
I think that you just take it too serious. And that's a mistake. Keep in mind that there are a lot of types of people in this forum.

The 3 causes for the high fees were the spam attack, the constantly big change in price (triggering various bots) and the lack of batching.
I remember that Coinbase and other "friends of Roger Ver" were accused to cause quite a problem (some have telling numbers of 70% or so for the transactions) by refusing to implement batching.. or at least delaying it.

Off-topic #1. BCash narrative is still sometimes based on "cheap fees" exactly because of this.
Off-topic #2. I don't know why bitcoiners still use Coinbase when they were known for favoring BCash and working against Bitcoin.


But I have to agree that excepting the spam attack period the mempool had its cooldown periods (sooner or later).
Even now a big variation in price causes a spike in fees, but it's smaller and it's usually getting absorbed within a day. We'll see what happens in the next FOMO bubble.

There are 2 possible problems here.

1. Sometimes a post was deleted by the topic owner in a self-moderated topic and there's a chance the user didn't do anything wrong, just the topic owner didn't like the post (to say it nice).
Maybe there's a different PM for this or some sort of differentiation and then it's not the subject of this topic.

2. There's some sort of contradiction that has to be solved. A post removed is clearly something "official", while the rules are .. unofficial. Maybe we should have an official set of rules first if we want your proposal implemented?



And a proposal, somewhat related to yours. If that message is to be changed/improved, some way of appealing that may be good too. Just because I've already seen topics on posts deleted for unclear reason.

This may be debatable. Indeed, for a small investor this may look bad/unfair (although in theory the price of gold should rise enough vs fiat to cover this), the gold has to be stored somewhere and that storage costs money.
For a big investor it is clearly a good business because he will not have to care about the storage and insurance.

Of course, they may have been able to find another ways to gather money (fees?) to cover these costs, but ... isn't the holders who cause the bigger amounts of gold need to be stored? Wouldn't be even more unfair to increase various transaction/transfer fees (on which they also have less control)?

The more interesting part is that exchanges are excepted from this fee rule, but I would not entrust exchanges for long-term holding my assets.



Indeed, the increasing number of very low quality "answers" from people not reading/following the thread and the fact the original question was already answered properly indicates that the thread should be locked.

People tend to avoid paying for you subscriptions because they tend to renew automatically (from the same card) and that can be a bad surprise.

PS. This is also a warning (like be careful) for the ones who want to do this "trade"

We have to have more patience than them. The bullets will deplete eventually.

Somebody may have reporting it, somebody may have made a mistake, ... there are also humans working there, you know. The best is to ask and clear up the situation. Just complaining may not really help.
As Vod said: did you try to PM any mod?

1. It doesn't matter if it won't surpass 11k this year. It will in some of the following years. Patience is the key.
(Also this means that the title is misleading by missing the "this year" part).

2. If, on the other hand the price will surpass 11k, then it's "just a small mistake" and nobody cares as long as the news was clicked by enough people.



I tend to believe that 11k will be easily surpassed this year. But even if it won't, it's not a problem. The current levels are already great.

As a promoter of GOLD token, you should have done your homework better.
@Bttzed03 has posted the relevant things and indeed, it's the daily fee you pay for the storage of the actual gold and it's probably coded in the contract of the token and done automatically. So don't worry, nobody is accessing your key.

I would add that exchanges don't pay this fee so if you want to HOLD and don't want to pay the fee, you can take the risk of keeping the tokens at an exchange.

Did you use an authenticator software for 2FA? Did you backup somewhere the data of this software, or the 2FA seeds?
(I am asking because I've read on another thread that somebody was keeping his wallet seed on Evernote and also lost everything.)

Some used to half-pay the local sections, some require a few or a lot of posts in gambling, some need posts in their ANN, ... I think that everybody has to take the time and read the rules of the campaign and no extra stars are needed for that. Most of such rules are not new.

I will not answer point by point since some did very good and you have the info you need.

I'll tell it short: different campaigns require different minimum quality, hence their requirements in rank, merit, exigences in deciding the posts to be paid are different. And different campaigns wants different exposure too, hence the different logic in selecting their members and boards to be paid.

I'll add something about trust rating. Positive trust means trading and most don't do that. But negative trust means something bad was done. Maybe at least the campaign managers should not have negative trust from DT though.


Although most campaigns are okay - meaning that they have pretty good "minimum quality" requirements, there were in history some quite well known exceptions, hence some minimal rules may not be a bad idea at all. And all campaigns and bounties should obey at least those. One example that comes to my mind would be that if a campaign encourages spam, the campaign itself is getting removed.
As the title tells though, they are common sense. But some may need to have them written down.

I've also done a small exchange (GOLD->BTC) and I was surprised by the big network fee they have been paying. Quite a waste imho. I think that something may not be well calculated/fine-tuned in the GOLD marketplace.



I was just thinking about this GOLD project and something interesting has occurred to me: real gold doesn't even have to begin to rally. Not yet. After everybody will recognizes this as a fair project, as soon as Bitcoin next FOMO bubble will begin to pop, this will be a wonderful backup for a store of value.

Yeah, they are .. doing what? Airing the infected phones to spread the virus? Makes sense.
Or it would make more sense it's something completely different, unrelated to the virus.

The Chinese government may easily cremate 1000s of people just because they don't agree their politics or to hide the real damage of the virus, but that movie doesn't prove anything.

The latest centralized info I know is almost one year old https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DRbTeMCzb4UeXI0YlAzBxMc2u2i0cN_17Ql6eMngK6E/edit#gid=0
Wirex and Advcash do work. In some areas TenX too. Crypto.com (ex mona.co) and Coinbase card may be also working.


Edit: the fees are not nice though. You can read for example https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5215053.0
