9542  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why does having a LinkedIn profile mean you're legit? on: January 22, 2020, 04:25:58 PM
This has puzzled me for years, in the crypto community having a LinkedIn profile seem to be the communities way of saying "Yep you're a legit person".

It certainly doesn't make you 100% legit. But I had quite similar dilemma at some point in the past when 21.co allowed people withdraw only if they link their LinkedIn profile.
Which was odd to me because although I am real and legit, I managed to live until now without LinkedIn.

So as said, LinkedIn can most probably be also faked, but also probably most won't do that since they don't see any reason to do that. Except the scammers...

I said I'm really bad at writing them. Couldn't think of anything better that was 7 syllables... 🤣

I've never managed to make a haiku. Ever. So don't feel bad, many (me included) are far behind your performance.

Darkstar needs much more pressure

There may be something between mercy (he has plenty of things to check anyway to choose the few "winners") and fear ("don't upset him")  Smiley

Especially those without haiku-composing talents.

This gives hope for more progress in the future. Smiley This is what what I've been thinking for quite a while. They(government officials) can be stupid themselves but they can hire smart advisers. And that's what they are doing already, because those of them who aren't, have small chances of surviving in the long run.

I wouldn't be too happy too fast. You cannot know what are their plans and next moves. I wouldn't be surprised they'd use this knowledge for favoring banks keep their current monopoly.
I think that playing the card of "Bitcoin is no threat for banks" ("We come in peace") is better, safer and not untrue.

See if the transaction is "known" by the network.

If the transaction is known/seen, check the number of confirmations and if the recipient address is the one you expect to be.
9547  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Is double spending easy to do? Burguer king accepting zero confirmation transact on: January 21, 2020, 02:41:26 PM
I never heard about such case (or i forget about such case), do you remember which payment processor did it?

I had to research a little.. It was BitPay.
I've found some links somehow related to that too, but not 100% what I was expecting:
https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/4p4ruo/bitpay_no_longer_accepting_zero_confirmations/
https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/91rau3/0confirmation_payments_are_they_safe/e307f0m/

Most of those 100 sat/byte are probably done by exchanges and shitful wallets which don't let users control fees, artificially inflating fees to benefit miners... literally abusing newbies lack of knowledge.  But that's another discussion..

I expect that some were set up in the late 2017 to this kind of values and were never fixed.


About the 0-confirmation transaction, first thing I see is that the writer doesn't tell what wallet was he using. I've seen at least once a payment processor accepting 0-confirmation transactions, but only if those came for a certain custodian wallet.
If that's not the case, it may be that the payment processor took some risk simply to get onto this market and allow payments fast enough for a place like Burger King.
9549  Economy / Reputation / Re: ChipMixer applicants on 2020w3 (19Jan2020) on: January 21, 2020, 10:23:33 AM
I liked this topic because he is showing where the users earned their merits.

Some of those users got 99% of their merits in some local board. Others got  on 2-3 different boards.
I think his stats are useful for dark star to find who posts where he wants.

That's correct. Good point.
My main point was to also try different other ways of sorting the users too. It could reveal much more interesting aspects.

Edit: for example to see the merits/stats of the top 30 posters
9550  Economy / Reputation / Re: ChipMixer applicants on 2020w3 (19Jan2020) on: January 21, 2020, 09:53:42 AM
Although the number of posts, number of merits are not first things to be considered in the ChipMixer campaign, but I think earned merits somehow help us to have a raw overview on contributions of users.

Probably it's not the thing most would like to hear, but I find, especially in this topic, the merit quite overrated. At first I thought it helps you .. but you are also not in top 4 so I don't know  Cheesy
So I hope you'll get this as constructive criticism, not only criticism  Smiley

I think that for example the number of posts should have taken a more important spot itself, since the advertiser will want to see its banner on many places - new and old.
I don't deny that there are many valuable applications, but going only by merits (and maybe started topics) you seem to be missing something important.

This whole topic is now more about merits than ChipMixer applications however  Smiley Quite a lot of work, I won't deny it, but one and only one direction...
For ChipMixer I'd have been expecting also sorting by number of posts, statistics on posts and subforums, ... things like this. It's still time for that, however  Cheesy
9551  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin moves like Gold? on: January 21, 2020, 08:05:14 AM
But is this still enough to say that Bitcoin moves like Gold?

There were attempts to match Bitcoin market movements with gold, silver, stocks, whatever.
On long term the result was always the same: the models kept proving that the analogies don't exist, the movements are decoupled and whatever rule is found, it's either incorrect, either happens for a small period/subset (which doesn't make it a rule)

9553  Economy / Economics / Re: USD / Crypto Pairing question on: January 21, 2020, 07:53:45 AM
That doesn't change the fact that there is only only 3 BTC buy order for it does it?

If I understood it right, I think that this may be the "error".

If somebody pushes the price up so badly the BTC buy orders will change, in a way or another:
* some will simply remove them
* some will change them and offer more for $SHIT
Obviously some could remain untouched, but they will be obsolete (too small the offer for now pumped $SHIT) and nobody expects them to be filled.

Now the "official" market price of $SHIT is 1$ and the old unfilled BTC orders won't change that.
And since USDT can be exchanged into Bitcoin easily, the old BTC orders don't affect / matter anymore. As I said, they may be superseded by newer and more expensive buy orders.
9554  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 3 smart ways to bet on the upcoming bitcoin halvening with options on: January 20, 2020, 03:51:10 PM
1. Turn your halvening bets into profit
2. Protect your crypto portfolio from potential halvening REKT
3. Think the halvening will be a non-event? Make your crypto assets work for you anyway.

So, to be short: "We don't care what you do as long as you use our platform and we get the fees".
I understand that you try to get people trade there, but you have to find some guys who can make proper speculation posts (like this example), most probably on shorter terms, but at least helping newbies try to understand what happens around them. You should have better luck on getting at least readers to that.
9555  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Peter Schiff Lost His Bitcoin on: January 20, 2020, 03:25:44 PM
Interesting article, but the skeptic in me is wondering if it's actually true.  Sounds to me like there might be a chance of him recovering his bitcoin if someone can figure out what the problem is.  It also sounds like a perfect statement to make if you wanted to slam bitcoin--by pointing out how easy it is to lose it.

You said too nice.
I also think that he just tries hard to find something to say against Bitcoin.

Did he have an account to an online/custodial wallet? Then he didn't "own" any Bitcoin from the first place.
Did he forget the password for his wallet and he doesn't have a backup of the seed? Then why he tries to blame Bitcoin for this?!

PS. People tend to remember forgotten password. Of course, some people will never admit that.  Roll Eyes
9556  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 20, 2020, 01:13:13 PM
My http://wallobserver.tk/ site shows the posts as they were within a few seconds after creation.

So indeed it can be used for checking the winners.

Now that the site is mentioned again: does anyone even use it? The domain is valid for another 8 months, after that it will expire (there's no way I'm going to pay by CC).

I check it now and then, but not often enough to justify (such a nice) domain name. Possibly about 5 requests / week.
9557  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 20, 2020, 12:20:24 PM

If I remember correctly, when you visit the forum without logging in, you see all the edits in the posts with the time of the edition.
The fastest and safest thing is for someone to quote the supposed winner quickly.

edit: Forget it, there are 10 minutes to edit the publication without seeing that it has been edited.

Yeah, that's exactly the problem. The grace period makes it difficult to really know if I a post has been edited right after being posted.

It seems no one really knows how to detect it.


Incorrect. You guys should ask LoyceV for confirmation, but afaik his bot is getting *only* the *initial* *unedited* version of the posts.

Edit: Congrats @bitserve !
9558  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: BEST WAY TO BUY AND SELL BITCOIN IN GERMANY on: January 20, 2020, 12:15:41 PM
As a second option, I would single out Bitstamp in my opinion, just because it is an EU company that has been in business for many years and has a solid reputation.

I've been using Bitstamp for quite some time now and I can also recommend it.
I don't remember their KYC procedure, which is good: it means it went smoothly, I didn't have problems with it.
9559  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Overview of trusted/recommended Translators on: January 20, 2020, 12:03:12 PM
Sad to hear guys... there still are reputable projects that pay in BTC and I have had the pleasure to work for some - also suggested translators for other languages, who have been paid just fine. So let“s just keep our eyes open and work together.

The number is rather small and not all of us are so lucky to live in "rich countries" where people have higher chance to invest and all projects want to be translated into their language  Wink
That's why we, the normal mortals, may start accepting tokens [which is a mistake!] and later simply stop searching...
9560  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin: virtual credit card on: January 20, 2020, 11:52:54 AM
Assuming that this is the right place to ask this question:
Is there a Bitcoin virtual debit card that can be used worldwide?
I am aware of this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1242788.0 which is useful but not anymore updated.
I am not asking about buying credit cards from a member here nor about services like BitPay which are restricted to some countries. Neteller is good but its mastercard virtual card doesn't support bitcoin...
Additionally, many used to be legit services are scammy now...
So any helpful idea? Thanks.

There used to be another list, but it's also not maintained well anymore: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DRbTeMCzb4UeXI0YlAzBxMc2u2i0cN_17Ql6eMngK6E/edit#gid=0
Basically in Europe there's Wirex, Coinbase, AdvCash and maybe others too.
In some parts of Asia there's TenX...
Other providers are also releasing or planning.

But your question is confusing. Most of those cards are VISA or Mastercard. So as long as you are a citizen of one of the supported countries, you'll receive the card (in the supported country) and then you can use it worldwide.
However, best is to start mailing/asking the support of those card providers  Wink


Edit: Hmm, the list should have been smaller [VCC only], partly fixed.
