Taking off from diagran's suggestion:


I'm all for the forums being an open and friendly place to encourage new and old bitcoin users but the problem of spam has been getting out of hand (even after the introduction of activity and merit). What i'm proposing we discuss is the additional of a small fee that is required for users to rank up above the member rank. Many other forums implement this sort of payment system to regulate quality. This could be implemented in two (2) ways as listed below:

1. Fee be used to replace the merit system
2. Fee be used in addition to the merit system

Is this something that could be feasible? Fee could be low, subjectively enough to prove you are real. Fees could then be used to purchase better server hardware.

I find it interesting to see that top posters like aamph posted 28,854 times since his/her account creation in 2013. That could mean he/she posted approximately 26 times DAILY. Thats a lot of time spent on the forums assuming it's not just spam posts written in 3 seconds.

I would find it interesting to hear from these top 9 on how the forum has affected their lives. Hopefully it's been profitable or fulfilling for them to do so.

I understand the concern with locking some of the topics on your list because they are spam magnets.

Just a gentle reminder though, this is forum is a place to encourage anyone and everyone to participate and discuss bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. By aggressively banning posts like these we risk becoming elitist jerks to newcomers and potential bitcoin users. I believe topics like these come with adoption and is something we must embrace.

My opinion is that questions whether silly or intelligent should be welcomed. An option we could consider is to move topics like these to the "beginner & help" forum. That way they won't be counted in signature campaigns (which will hopefully reduce the spam posted on them) and at the same time not be as offensive (to the poster) as getting your topic locked or deleted.

Citing the source is one thing but copy/pasting should be assessed on a case-to-case basis.

I've seen some users simply copy pasting news articles on coindesk and pasting them here without any attempt at discussion at all. If this goes unchecked pretty soon you could have bots using forum keywords to search for online articles to copy paste here.

Hi bill, i appreciate your help with spreading the merits around. I was hoping you could review one of my posts as well:

Thank you for your time.

Technically, it should be able to. But i highly recommend that you not do it. PSU aren't supposed to be run at 100% of their advertised maximum load which is what you will be doing if you run 2 L3+s on a single APW3. Are you trying to save money? Because if that is your goal you will end up losing more money when your AP3 explodes. Just go and get 2 separate PSUs and not risk burning your own house down.

Good for you mate, good for you. You deserve a star.

Do not buy panda miners. They didn't tell you about the HIGHER power consumption.

That panda miner consumes about 1300W while bitmain's E3 consumes only 800W (and maybe even less when it is actually shipped). There is no logic at all in buying more expensive hardware that earns less money.

I was referred by your friend. I'm interested in this service.
Sent you a PM.

Its far from over gentlemen. Its all about holding. All your loses are simply paper losses anyway. You never really lose until you sell.

Don't get eaten by the whales. Its far from over.

The market is far from being stabilized. It is a well-known fact that cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile.

I would wait for a few more years before even any sense of stability could be considered.

I would sell all of those shitcoins and simply buy BITCOIN and ETHEREUM.

Can you explain why you bought those other coins? All of those are copy of the BIG 2.

This is OLD news. No need to keep spreading FUD about crypto. You are probably here because you have invested some. Help increase the value of OUR crypto and stop spreading FUD. This doesn't matter and does not affect development at all. Be part of the solution not the problem.

Is there even any shred of evidence that this is true? Do you even know what an ERC20 token is?

There are far too many shitty ETH tokens out there for this to ever be officially supported by coinbase.

Sharing information based on experience, that article is outdated. GPUs prices in Asia have already gone up.

3 months ago you i got a few VEGAs at around $450 USD. Looking at local prices now, they're going at around $800 per piece. Buying in bulk doesn't help as well because most of the incoming units are already allocated. The fact that we're in such a dump right now might help tho, I can imagine that some buyers have called of their orders. Don't see why you would invest in some many GPUs at this point in time anyway.

Do you also verify token source?
I'm particularly interested in having official links on etherscan.

One of the comments on this imgur set:

Don't pay any attention to him. But your house could probably do better with more windows on the side and a roof that extends past the walls. You know, like a normal house roof.

Why would i use this over claymore or phoenix?

Just because its "free" that doesn't mean its better and you haven't posted anything indicating this is better than what already exists.
In my opinion your incompetence with this thread post probably reflects your incompetence with miner's code.

The wallets in ethereum.org are downloadable wallets. On the other hand, myetherwallet is an online wallet you can use to receive and send ethereum. The nice thing is that you can even use it to transfer your wallet's "private keys" (your wallet password) into other wallets in the future.

Good job getting into Ethereum. You will surely earn a lot when its value rises.

I can confidently say NO, NEVER.

The essence of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is that everything is DECENTRALIZED. With a coin like Bitcoin Cash which is being manipulated by shady people like Roger Ver or Jihan Wu, it is like you are buying their currency where the value will be dictated by what they do.

Would you trust your life savings on a business man who is in it for his own profit? Uh, NO, NEVER.
