The reputation of the community and the ecosystem is very damaged. You have noticed that correct? The BTC ecosystem/reputation obviously needs repairs, do you have an opinion on how/what to do ASAP?
I don't really agree with what you're saying here. I'm not convinced Bitcoins reputation actually needs any "repairs" or anything - I mean, on what grounds are you saying that's obvious it does? Seems to me its reputation as a secure way to store value is still pretty solid. Sure, there's stuff like scalability that's tricky to figure out. But the basic ideas behind it are still good. Going on about repairing its reputation doesn't seem that productive really. Scams are still way more common with fiat money than with Bitcoin. |

(BTC Reputation Upgrades) Can This Be Done With Bitcoin Without Using Any Altcoins?
Hello, The following "flow of ideas" *can* be done with Smart Contracts and Altcoins.
Please Note: I am not proposing or promoting a specific project in this discussion. The outline of details is just an example, seeking the answer: "Can This Currently Be Done With Bitcoin Without Using Any Altcoins?"
* Starting Point = Bitcoin and the community has earned a horrible mainstream reputation with an endless flow of scandals, alleged hacks, and other major thefts.
* Many early Bitcoin users were idealists who wanted to actually help "the masses" have sound money.
* What if (for example) people could safely pool money (BTC) in a way that massively helps improve our reputation?
* Do you think (at least some) some of the super-rich, old-time idealists (and many other people) would be interested?
Here is a quick example of something very positive which can be done with smart contracts and altcoins - and possibly (?) using only BTC:
Bitcoin For "The Masses" Super Bowl 2025 ads!
* Super Bowl ads are relatively expensive, and can be worth the money by creating a Huge Positive Buzz.
* The ad(s) can educate people about the original goals of BTC idealists and how great the future can be!
* The smart contracts used would specify funding targets, and other vital details.
* The first 100 (or 500 - for example) donations all earn the right to be (optionally) participating in a trustee group (DAO = cannot be done with BTC / possibly vote in the forum?)
* The Trustee group and/or exact details in the smart contracts, specify a clear path to securely releasing/converting the funds and buying the ads.
Questions:
The above optimistic, exciting outline can currently be done with smart contracts and altcoins. Can it be done using only BTC?
The BTC ecosystem/reputation obviously needs repairs, do you have an opinion on how/what to do ASAP?

"Christmas Vacation" For all our Staff and Students! 1) All development and publicity efforts are being 100% shut down for at least 36 to 48 hours, and probably several days/weeks after. 2) No payments (zero) have been accepted for any of my current efforts. At this point that is a good thing. No refunds to do, or other related issues. Why? * I have two close family members facing surgery soon, and will be moving " Home for the Holidays" right after packing and making travel plans. * When I make it back here, some of you really will not want to miss out. Please don't "let yourself down" by forgetting the future is created by people who jump ahead of the crowds. The future can still be bright! Sponsored by +++ Positive Coin +++ Happy Holidays :: (This is an interesting, non-promo thread) Do You Know The First Times Bitcoin Ever Had Real World Value? ps. Remember, every one of you has great potential to succeed - and/or what do you lose by trying... ...lol?* There is a talented dynamic group here, and many of them are interested in a co-op effort to become certified Blockchain & Smart Contract Experts.
* That alone, has great future value.

#Please pay attention to the simple and valuable details here. I have over 45 students/staff eagerly waiting for a modest amount of early funding. We don't need to "move the crowd" right away. We only need ~1 to 10 savvy individuals who understand, when I finally break through you do not want to be left behind by failing to act today, thank you. As deaths of homeless people rise, L.A. to appoint new leader to tackle crisisHomeless Token ( HOME) Fast Facts: * Homelessness is currently a huge problem in many parts of the USA, how are things in your town? * Standing alone this project doesn't sound like a source of Massive New Wealth, but as a small piece of a very Big Picture how does it look? * Our community and ecosystem has earned a terrible reputation in many areas of the mainstream world. We (some of you) earned it with an endless parade of scams, and most of you know this is true. * Imagine a successful Ten Seeds network with (literally) a Super Bowl Ad showing how much we help some of these people. The great publicity would be worth much more than the cost of the ad + actually helping some people before they literally die from suffering in cold, horrible conditions. # We are developing a decentralized Massive Global Escrow, so Ten Seeds can be powerful and trustless* network, and enjoy a reality where "Almost Anything Is Possible." *Trustless in Crypto: The concept of trustlessness is a core element of blockchain, crypto payments, and smart contracts. “Trustless” means that you don't have to trust a third party. More details on this project provided later: For now, the forward-thinking people we need can please start here:

Not many people are tuned into the old threads, and < an hour ago a posted a topic inviting people to learn more about the deep history here, and study some of the old threads. Seeing your topic was a surprise so soon after.  Hey, as you all may have known Bitcointalk literally has been around here for over a full decade! That's crazy. With that, there's quite alot of history here....
The craziest event? Shortly after the peak of the first Bull market (after quickly going from under $1 to over $32.50!) the market was already heading lower, and our "attackers" picked the perfect time to strike. A group of people - coming from the site 4Chan - started a thread called " THE PRICE OF BITCOINS IS CRASHING SELL SELL SELL", and they were far from finished. As a team, they worked together to bump that thread repeatedly for several hours, and post similar negative topics designed to "belong" in quite a few sections of the forum. Every time someone clicked on the "show unread posts" list all they saw was a massive wall of negativity during the ~4 hours that Bitcoin was now crashing even harder. They temporarily had a huge influence on this forum, and it made the Bear move much worse that day. Oh well, many people do not ever learn "Buy low, Sell high", and back then most of the community was really young, so they were literally scared kids panicking. Did most of them ever "grow up" and stop panicking... ...lol? |

I used to write php apps to breakdown and improve strategies for turn based games.
But it has been more than a decade since I've touched it.
With recent trends toward dynamic pages and html5.
And more recently web3, meta and defi.
Is there still a good niche for php development?
This thread is a good resource if some of those old-timers are still active, and I was curious about your question, "Is there still a good niche for php development?" source = https://www.quora.com/Is-PHP-still-relevant-to-build-websites-in-2023Yes, PHP is still relevant for building websites in 2023. Despite the emergence of new programming languages and frameworks, PHP remains one of the most widely used and popular choices for web development. Here are some reasons why PHP continues to be relevant: Large and Active Community: PHP has a vast and active community of developers worldwide. This means there is extensive documentation, resources, and support available for PHP development. The community continuously contributes to the improvement and evolution of the language. Extensive Frameworks and Libraries: PHP offers a wide range of frameworks and libraries that simplify web development tasks. Popular PHP frameworks like Laravel, Symfony, and CodeIgniter provide robust features for building scalable and secure web applications. These frameworks follow best practices, provide efficient routing, database abstraction, and handle various aspects of web development. Scalability and Performance: PHP is known for its scalability and performance. It can handle high-traffic websites and has built-in mechanisms like caching, opcode caching, and data optimization techniques to enhance performance. With proper coding practices and optimization strategies, PHP can deliver fast and efficient web applications. Ecosystem and Integration: PHP has a rich ecosystem with numerous third-party packages and integrations. It integrates well with various databases, web servers, and platforms, making it versatile for building different types of websites and applications.... Not exactly about a "niche", but it shows PHP is still very popular. |

Several altcoins are great for making small payments with almost zero fees, so they have a real reason to own some. Others will be around for a long time, even if they are way down from their all-time highs - Solana (SOL) and The Sandbox (SAND) are two examples which are alive and heading into the future.

Most of you have heard of Bitcoin Pizza day originally on May 22 2010. At that time mining was still so easy that virtually no one paid cash for Bitcoin. Another historical milestone happened a bit later in 2010 > I started here in April/May 2011. This next info I learned from an old thread which was discussing an even older thread, I've lost those bookmarks now, but might find them again someday. One amazing thing about this forum is the really old threads, have you ever studied/looked at any? The first ever "record" of someone <~exact quote from the thread>"selling Bitcoin for Paypal(!)* payments and keeping records on a spreadsheet" was also in 2010. That's right, BTC was still so close to free, it was safe for "the only guy doing it" to accept Paypal (lol?), despite the obvious risk of reversed transactions. The price he was selling them for will be a big surprise for some of you: The discussion in the old thread was about him selling BTC at the price of 300BTC/dollar! This actually happened in the real world, so how does the math look? To make it a bit more believable let's go with "only 200 BTC"/$, a half a penny each. Now, I'm not saying many people bought that low and held on all the way. Let's say you invested only $100, then proceeded to eventually spend, give away*, and/or gamble away 95% of your long-term stash. Now you have only 5% of your original amount left. * (people were extremely generous back then, and no crime here either) 200BTC/$ * $5 = $1,000BTC! If you where one of the lucky people to sell near the current all-time high how much would you have made? Even at "only $20k/ BTC" :::: 1,000BTC * $20,000 = $20,000,000! If my math is off, please let me know. At 200btc/$ every One Dollar turned into 4 Million, you do not see that many times in your lifetime, but that is what actually happened with Bitcoin. At $40k that same person has $40,000,000 today, and near the all-time high you are looking at $70 Million coming from only 5% of a $100 investment. We can all see there is often an "high - sometimes insane - level of greed" in this community. People are often trying to find the next thing which will produce huge profits. One reason I Love the old threads in this forum is the way people helped each other "figure out the hard stuff" with no motive of short-term profits. The alpaca socks kidOne more early Bitcoin milestone, related to internet eCommerce was the alpaca socks kid. This guy's parents owned a small farm and made alpaca socks. He talked his parents into accepting BTC. That family is so rich now, they probably had to relocate to someplace they "were not so famous." History class in school can be really boring, but BTC history is amazing! Have a great night.  Thomas-Soellner/Getty ImagesOne great thing about this forum is the really old threads, have you ever studied/looked at any? |

* Edit: "I/We do not need a big response at first, simply a small group who wants to be a forward-thinking success, instead of a "scared sheep loser."
* I did not accept any payments.
* This is temporarily shut down, but far from over.

Ha! You sneaky fuck. I'd rather have 3 Dogecoin than 100 Shitcoin thank you.   Ah but what about 10,000 Shitcoin for 300 DOGE? What about now huh? See what I'm saying?? Shitcoin 3.0 is the Holiest of Shitcoins. It harkens back to a simpler era, when men were men, dogs were dogs, and cats were cats. Legend has it there is a lost book of the Old Testament which depicts Moses listening to the divine oration of a Grand Shitcoin, perched upon a great mountaintop. The Grand Shitcoin warned Moses about the folly of man, how man would underestimate the true power of Shitcoin. Then it told him how to get out of the desert. The exact quote as legend has it was, "Take thine left at Albuquerque." I liked your entertaining display nutildah, looks like you are a creative person, have a great day. |

[ANN] Positive Coin ( +++) A Fun Project Which Is Honestly Hard To Say Anything Negative About. Positive Coin * Positive Coin will be an independent blockchain, related to a Massive New Network of projects called Ten Seeds. * Positive Token (Not yet announced) Many of you know, it is common these days for assets to place their value on more than one network (i.e.) ETH and Polygon is a popular example. Our early-seed participants will benefit from a "planned, early fork/split" of the positive project. All the early-seed Positive Coin value you hold at the time of the split will be doubled when the Token goes live. That's it for now, nice and brief. FYI: We have the Genesis of our Ten Seeds ecosystem up and running Live. [align=center]  [/align] The Current Ten Seeds EcosystemOur Current Ten Seeds Ecosystem is only a small part of a much bigger picture. It can be a challenge to teach people things which are "ahead of the curve", but we will be the source of many fun surprises this holiday season. When I finally do make a breakthrough, finding the right people who can see what is being offered, then Almost Anything Is Possible.[ANN] ANN Party: Fun + Blockchains = A Massive Source Of New WealthAnn Party has never been seen anywhere before, you are literally the first. Positive Coin and the Massive Ten Seeds Network have exactly what you need. The Time To Be Bold Is Now!"Fortune favors the bold means that taking risks and being courageous can bring you success, good luck, or whatever equivalent you're after." ~ grammarist.com Thank you for a small amount of your time today. This was a really brief intro to the potential of Positive Coin. Blockchain BuzzwordsBlockchain Buzzwords can be found in my much longer post, where we are having Satoshi Day! for Ten Seeds and several of the projects. In that Epic thread you will find a plan for massive new wealth with literally No Competition. Making a large amount of Fun, Honest Money is much easier when you enjoy having No Competition. In the longer thread I mention seeking ~10 Founders/early partners, instead of only one. Since many people are "sheep", and need to see others moving first, I am open to sharing Positive Coin and several other projects with only one or two early founders/Big Players. Brand New Coupon Code SB7J72WS The first two brave people to use that coupon on a Founders upgrade will never forget how much this moment changed your life. Welcome to 2048: The World's First Long-Term, Paid Study of Bitcoin Users. // Ten Seeds Network, ANN Party, Today!

What do you actually want to learn what's here or what is your vision journey 2048 please explain all details.......
Wow, it really amazed me that you have been here for a very long time when the price of Bitcoin was still on a scale of 1 to 7...impressive!
Honestly, I've been long for this particular post for a while now and I so much like the way you construct your words.
It would be a pleasure to be among the lucky ones benefiting from this project. I was hoping to see a link where I could read more about your project...any?
Bushdark & SPARE, thank you for asking, and the nice comments also. I just spent over 3 hours on the Full Version, and have to get some sleep. There will be a Major update today, thank you! |
