Feedback isn't moderated. The only one who can remove the red feedback is the person who gave it to you. Try sending them a PM with your appeal.

Can i pay for fee and remove those post.. I think i should bbe warned for the first time. I am really sorry..

People are typically warned for unknowingly making low quality posts. Copy and pasting exactly what someone said can't really be considered a mistake. Bitcointalk doesn't really have that many rules, creating your own thoughts for discussion is however one.

A physical Bitcoin monopoly board game would definitely be something I would purchase. I have enjoyed playing monopoly for years from family times to a 6hr game with the Misses (and some beers!)

Just imagine the properties like owning 3 exchanges and charging X trading fee when someone lands on one of them!

Better yet, when you land on an exchange, you have to put money into it, and every turn there is an X% chance that it gets "hacked" and you lose all of your money. Would be pretty realistic.

Heres a MS69 one that sold recently for 2.2BTC.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1625916.0

If I'm not mistaken, OGNasty was selling a 1 BTC silver (not gilt) Cas that was ungraded for 1.9-2BTC recently.

Ebay prices aren't really dependable for comparison of anything Bitcoin related be it collectibles or miners. The scam potential on Ebay is ridiculously high, plus there is typically a pretty large Paypal/credit card > BTC conversion factor that is included in Ebay listing prices.

*edit* Comparables:

Accounts cannot and will not be deleted. As others have said, change your password to something that no hacker could ever get, make it so difficult that you forget it if you want. Make sure your security questions aren't set or are also set to something impossible to guess, delete your posts if you want (they can be recovered by admins) and your Bitcointalk presence is then gone. Unless there is reason for admins to restore your posts.

This is a bitcoin forum, your prices should also be priced in bitcoin... Just saying....

Looks good....

I'm assuming the prices listed are pinned to USD to be paid in BTC. The materials, time, and labor have fiat value, which is accepted in BTC at time of sale.

That said, I'm pretty impressed with the quality from the pictures shown. I'm trying to justify getting something for myself, but I dont really go around showing off my affiliation with BTC. Until I offer you a sale, you will have to make due with my compliment.

If you do want a Bitcoin ticker so it displays your asking price in BTC at any given time, this is the ticker/widget I use

Is this for a physical board game, or something played online? Is it going to be like Monopoly (to avoid license infringement) or do you mean having the game produce by Hasbro like the billion different Monopoly (insert theme) editions?

I enjoy monopoly, but I have a hard time finding someone else to sit down for a couple of hours to play. None of my friends or family like me enough to stick around long enough to play.
948  Economy / Goods / Re: Swim asks: Any interest in Natural Tobacco leaves on: October 08, 2016, 04:19:35 PM
you know why that is? Because there is 1% of dickheads ruling this world. Monopolizing people's rights till a point a normal life is not possible anymore.

Just like Big Pharma, who is allowed to kill multiple times the amount of people Hitler did a year.

But what you say is true. Some people just didn't want to become dickheads, but maybe we all have to due to this struggle.

Look, if the tobacco companies would pay like some you'd know they roi over 5000% to kill people with state's support.

Oh yeah, that's what you stated in your post already

Swim told me it was just curiousness

There are actually a lot of reasons. First and foremost is tax reasons. Second, is its actually relatively easy to do a lot of harm to people with improperly stored tobacco. At this point since your thread is just theoretical, "would people be interested in..." its not an illegal topic, but I'd highly recommend against trying to sell tobacco. The ATF isn't an organization you want to mess with.
949  Other / Meta / Re: Is it just me or has the quality of this forum dropped immensely on: October 07, 2016, 02:41:14 AM
It depends on what you mean by quality. I joined this forum a little over 5 years ago, and I'd argue that the quality of discussion was higher, but that means a lot of things. I speculate that conversation was of higher quality because Bitcoin was more technical at the time. People came here to have discussions on the technology and how to use it. The fact that that isn't necessarily the case anymore in my opinion means that the technological barrier is decreasing. The userbase is now more diverse, and their #1 question isn't, "What steps must I take to avoid corrupting my Bitcoin wallet and losing all of my money", instead it is "I bought Bitcoin, what do I do with it now?".

Of course the discussion is going to be a lot higher quality between fewer members with the same interests that respect each other. If there were only 1000 Bitcoin users world wide, I believe that would still be the case. Now, we have people who barely understand Bitcoin, but use it anyway. Take the good with the bad. Bitcoin user's interests aren't a monolith anymore. Some people are interested in the technology, some are interested in mining, some in Alt coins, some in shopping, others in business, some in scamming, and some in spamming.

Associate with the good, ignore the bad, and try and have discussions with the people who are interested in the same aspects of Bitcoin as you. Especially the spammers, please create a single thread and spam with each other. Also be sure to take role, record your names. *grabs the ban hammer*
950  Economy / Goods / [WTB] Germanium ingots/chunks on: October 06, 2016, 11:24:04 PM
I'm sure this is a real long shot since I'm having difficulty finding it myself, but I'm sure there are people around here with industrial ties to an industry that uses a lot of germanium. I'm hoping someone like that could help me source some. I need at least 3 9s. (99.9%) so home made scrap germanium from old transistors probably isn't sufficient, unless there is a very high quality purification method easily available. If you know a method, information would be highly appreciated.

Spot price is apparently ~$55/Oz however from my research its very clear to not expect to find anything quite like that. I'd prefer it in 1 troy ounce or smaller increments. Gram or partial gram increments would be fantastic, but I'll limit my desire to anything smaller than 1 troy oz.

Any information is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Wow I'm dumb, locking thread, found some for ~$5/gram not outrageously expensive.

Toast..... good

Bitcoin.... better

Bitcoin Toast..... Oh man!!!! Cheesy

This is a pretty cool little item.

You should consider adding lazers or UV.......  Tongue




If your toast has something on it that can only be seen under a UV light, I probably wouldn't recommend eating it. Unless you are into that of course.


On topic, I'm assuming you are making these yourself with a 3D printer? PLA is food safe, but what about the tip of the 3D printer that melts the PLA? Aren't they treated with all sorts of lovely chemicals?
952  Other / Meta / Re: Forum database compromised? on: October 05, 2016, 03:39:48 PM
This is all in relation to the 2015 database leak, there hasn't been any compromise lately:
Quote from: theymos
Passwords are hashed with 7500 rounds of sha256crypt and a unique salt per password (roughly equivalent to bcrypt with work=12.8). This is very strong. But nothing's going to stop extremely weak passwords from being broken.

Theymos has mentioned the possibility that other Bitcoin related sites and services may have had their databases leaked as well, and those with the same emails and passwords as here would have been compromised. As he said above, the passwords are encrypted pretty well.

The explanation is good, but its in contrast to the results in the paper of OP. Are they a fraud? Did they mess up the experiment?

I actually found a review of the experiment linked in the OP by the ACEBR

http://acebr.uow.edu.au/index.html

Here is their official statement, of course you can read it all on the link above, but for those who don't want to follow the link.

Quote
An overall consideration is that the NTP release does not contain sufficient information to enable adequate review. For example, without detail of other endpoints tested it is hard to correctly interpret the statistical analyses. This is pointed out by Reviewer Dr Lauer, from the National Institutes of Health, who writes

“Why aren’t we being told, at least at a high level, of the results of other experiments (i.e., male and female mice, tissues other than heart and brain, tumors other than glioma and schwannoma)? Given the multiple comparisons inherent in this kind of work… there is a high risk of false positive discoveries. In the absence of knowing other findings, we must worry about selective reporting bias.” Dr Lauer states “I am unable to accept the authors’ conclusions”. Indeed as pointed out by the NTP Associate Director Dr Bucher at the NTP press conference, about 20 to 30% of the scientists within NTP who examined the report did not agree with the conclusions; an indication that more thorough scrutiny was required. Without such thorough scrutiny the conclusions cannot be taken as more than the provisional positions of the authors, rather than a scientific contribution.

However, even given the limited information provided, there are a number of issues that stand out and question the relevance of the NTP report to public health. These include both methodological and interpretational issues.

There are also very... very... basic methodical errors also listed.

I could tell you "Bananas don't cause cancer, they are yellow and this color doesn't cause any sort of cellular damage". Please post experimental results, this is not a religious debate.
OP posted link to article with some results on rats, it's more convincing than one liners.


I'd agree with you that bananas don't cause cancer. That doesn't change the fact that Potassium 40 a beta emitting isotope of Potassium is present in Bananas. I'm not entirely sure how to link a source for my in progress Masters Degree in Nuclear Physics, but I did explain the energy emission of cell phone waves vs the energy emission of Beta decay.


Well, there were many inventions before which were totally safe - and later when science evolved suddenly they become totally dangerous.
Cigarettes are main example - for the first half of 20th century they were advertised as a cure for stress.

This isn't a matter of carcinogens or other effects on the human body by substances, its a matter of the laws of physics based on energy. Cancer from radiation is caused by ionizing energy from high energy waves causing damage to the body. The RF spectrum we are talking about isn't considered ionizing as the energy is too low. It is entirely possible that we don't understand the true causes of cancer, and for that reason Cell Phone signals could cause cancer. But in order for that to be true, sunlight and such would cause 100,000x as much damage as cell phones, (as sunlight has 100,000x more energy) still making them have negligible effect.

*where my numbers figures come from

The solid evidence is in the basic principals of wave/particle physics. No scientists even question whether or not cell phones are dangerous. If you have a banana for breakfast, that is technically one trillion (10^12) times more radiation than from cell phone signals. The energy of a wave = plank's constant * the frequency. 6.63x10^-34Js * 2x10^9Hz (2Ghz) = 1.2x10^-24 J. On the other hand, the Potassium 40 in your morning banana is a beta emitter. Beta emitters give off around 1x10^-12 J. Something else to keep in mind, FM Radio is around 100Mhz, compare that to Cellphones and the energy isn't much different. We all know Xrays are dangerous, well they start around 3x10^16 Hz. Visible Lights is 430-770 Thz (4.3-7.7x10^14 Hz). Cell Phones, Wifi, Bluetooth, things in the Ghz range are 100% completely safe. There is absolutely no reason based on science that non ionizing RF radiation is detrimental to human health.

Long story short, sunlight and bananas are doing trillions of times more damage to you than that call to mom.

To my knowledge, the recent DDOS attacks were just annoying. I haven't heard anything from Theymos about a security breach or potential security breach. If one had happened, or even if there was the slightest suspicion that someone could have gained access to any forum private information, Theymos would have warned everyone and asked that they changed their account details.
956  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Mobile phones and cancer. on: October 04, 2016, 06:52:40 AM
well there are no solid evidence yet, some of the scientist claims that it was fine, the others claims that it was dangerous, the one that i knew is the radiation from cellphone is not good, because it can cause headaches, but developing cancer or tumor still got no evidence

Cellphones don't cause cancer. The wavelength of cellphone frequencies is too large to cause any sort of cellular damage. They are very low energy waves at that, so there's no risk what so ever.

I have no idea how the rumor that cellphones could cause cancer started. There is absolutely no scientific backing or even plausible pseudo theory to explain why cell phones could cause cancer.
958  Economy / Goods / Re: Selling Silver and Gold Bullion at Low Prices! Updated 10/3/16 on: October 04, 2016, 03:08:57 AM
lol damn didnt know they cost that much i never did check the price and i was think it would be about the same price as the rabbit you have

The 1st Lunar Series in particular can get crazy expensive. It wasn't until late into the series or the beginning of the 2nd series that they really became popular. By the time there were 50,000 buyers lined up for each piece, they were all left fighting over the limited number produced. I looked up the mintage of all of the pieces of the series by metal and size, funny enough, they have 1KG pieces that they minted about 1,000 of. Some of the gold coins only have 2 minted per year.

Now Perth produces a pretty large amount of coins to keep up with demand, but going back and finding the older coins at a decent price is tough.
959  Economy / Goods / Re: Selling Silver and Gold Bullion at Low Prices! Updated 10/3/16 on: October 04, 2016, 01:32:19 AM
yeah if you find a 10 oz or kilogram 2012 lunar dragon at a good price lmk, did they have bigger ones for 2000?

The 2000 Lunar Dragons come in 1/2 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz, 10 oz, and 1 Kg. The 10 oz and 1 Kg are exceedingly hard to find, at least at a decent price, as under 10,000 were minted. If I recall something like 7500 of each were minted. The 1/2 and 2 oz were something like 50,000 made, and the 1 oz around 100,000 made (again if Im not mistaken)

APMEX is definitely not known for having the lowest prices, but just to give you an idea, they are selling the  1Kg dragon at $1300 cash price, and $700 cash price for the 10 oz. I can certainly find better, but what I mean is don't expect to find a $1300 piece for spot value or anything near that.

I'll keep a lookout for the 10 oz and kilogram 2012 dragons. Are you interested in any of the 2000 dragons or anything else?
960  Economy / Goods / Re: Selling Silver and Gold Bullion at Low Prices! Updated 10/3/16 on: October 03, 2016, 07:51:07 PM
yeah i got all the 1oz ones not the bigger ones tho

Are you looking for the 2/5/10 oz or kilogram 2012 lunar dragon? I'd be happy to keep an eye out for whatever you'd like. If I find one at a good price before I order again, I'd just link you to the source.
