Edit: since the case was solved, we would request to withdraw the flag @nutildah, @AHOYBRAUSE, @Mahdirakib
done Just for information - we received this email 13 hours ago.  Wow, thats kinda fucked up. I don't really know who it could be but I don't think they would succeed. Even if they did, they wouldn't go unnoticed for too long. The message suggests that someone has control or influence over at least 3-5 accounts on DT, but there's also a chance theyre just bullshitting you. I never really follow up what happens to flags I supported or opposed. Probably should. |

What's the verdict on Newbie Assiduous? I noticed this post on the tech board, but I think this is even more obvious chatbot verbal diarrhea: Classic AI BS. But I can see how it could be debatable as some of his older posts seem AI but are actually just bad. Crypto analyst Josh said in his latest analysis that Bitcoin is still showing a short-term bearish signal.
Good 'ol Josh. It seems like it may be an instance of someone using an AI translation method as some post analysis results come back as "mixed" in GPTZero. In any case, the example brought up by LoyceV is definitively AI: #1 There are several facts that make it clear that Salomon Brothers is no longer under Citigroup.
The mentioned website is neither official nor authentic. There are many reasons to be suspicious about it. Even though the salomonbros website looks official, the domain was only registered recently, in 2023. A quick check shows that Scam Detector has given this site a score of 48.9/100, which means caution is needed when dealing with it. Although the site displays an official-looking address under the name “Salomon Brothers Inc.,” this does not prove that it is part of Citigroup.
Salomon Brothers was originally a powerful investment bank on Wall Street, founded in 1910. Later, in 1997, it became part of Travelers Group, and from there it was merged into Citigroup. However, in 2003, the Salomon Brothers brand name was formally discontinued within Citigroup.
Therefore, as of today, there is no active or functional unit under the name Salomon Brothers that belongs to Citigroup.

What a great first game. For me. Well for my team... gaining a bit more confidence now. It could have gone either way and that was probably due to the fact that one of the Eagles' best defensive players was ejected after the kickoff for spitting in the face of Dak Prescott. How stupid.
Other than that, well I was pretty stoked when Hurts got not just 1 but 2 rushing TDs. Dallas wasn't as terrible as expected, and their kicker got some good action, which also added to my score. I'm feeling pretty positive about the season so far... just let me enjoy it while it lasts.

This is ridiculous! How can you entrust such a huge amount of money to a third party exchange which can not be trusted,. They can not be trusted as there has been complaints from members about their activities and how they were treated. This exchange does not have any good record to compliment their existence, neither do they have conscience.
You don't have the first clue what you're talking about. Bitstamp is one of the oldest and most trusted Bitcoin exchanges around. Please don't comment in threads if you know nothing about the service being discussed. As far as OP's complaint is concerned, there really isn't much we can do besides try to help them figure out how to get an answer from Bitstamp. First of all, do you have any kind of screenshots that prove you made a deposit to Bitstamp? You can blur out all personal details and addresses, but as of now you haven't really provided any kind of evidence that you made a deposit at all. |

People were taking WR in rd 1 which I don't think I have ever seen and the trend continued into rd 2. It kind of threw me for a loop and put me in a panic as quite alot of good WR were gone by rd 3 when I went looking for 1.
The top ranked player was a WR, but yeah, RBs typically fetch more points per season. I did want Puka so I went with him in Round 2 indeed. What I did differently this year compared to most years prior was waiting until Round 4 to draft a QB, and then concentrating on high-performing RBs & WRs as opposed to picking up multiple TEs or QBs. I would have liked to have waited until Round 5 to pick up a QB but I don't think Hurts would have been available then. In any case, I'm decently excited about my prospects this year. My first opponent just happens to be the toughest - the damn Moon Coiners. We're about neck-and-neck projected score-wise. Go Eagles! |

Posting for posterity, so we can all reflect and laugh, as is tradition:  Just for fun, I had Grok generate a second opinion by feeding it the full draft results and asking it to come up with grades for each team. Its weird that some of the grades deviate from Yahoo because it is not using any external sources to come up player rankings for its grades. Just thought some of y'all might find it interesting. BurrowheadStrengths: Elite RB1 in Barkley with solid complementary backs like Cook and Harvey for a reliable ground game. Strong WR core led by Brown, with Pickens adding upside. Dual viable QBs provide flexibility and injury protection. Andrews offers a high-floor TE option. Weaknesses: Later-round picks like Skattebo and Downs carry risk due to unproven roles or lower rankings. WR depth thins out quickly after the top two. Two defenses dilute bench spots that could have been used for more offensive depth. Overall value is middling, with several reaches in mid-rounds. Overall Grade: D Eli-2 Brady-0Strengths: Exceptional WR group headlined by Chase and Hill, with depth from emerging talents like Smith-Njigba and Flowers for consistent high-scoring potential. Strong RB tandem in Achane and Taylor provides boom upside. Serviceable TEs and a mobile QB backup in Fields add versatility. Weaknesses: RB depth drops off after the starters, with Tuten as a speculative pick. QBs are solid but lack elite ceiling compared to top-tier options. Late defense and kicker picks are unremarkable, potentially requiring waivers. Overall Grade: A Bit BowlersStrengths: Deep RB stable led by Robinson and Hall, with veterans like Jones and Etienne for reliable production. WR corps is balanced and high-upside with Nacua and Harrison as anchors. Hurts brings dual-threat QB value, and Kelce remains a top TE despite age. Weaknesses: Single QB leaves no backup, risking issues during bye or injury. Later WR picks like Jennings and Pittman add depth but lack star power. Kicker and defense are average, not standout.Overall Grade: A Moon CoinersStrengths: Stacked WR room with elite talent like London, Thomas, and Waddle for massive weekly potential and trade leverage. Gibbs leads a capable RB group with Hampton as a strong RB2. Daniels offers high-upside QB play, backed by Purdy's efficiency. LaPorta is a premium TE. Weaknesses: RB depth is thin beyond the top two, with Bigsby and Croskey-Merritt as boom-or-bust options. Secondary TE and late-round specialists are serviceable but not elite. Overall Grade: A+ Hueristic's BarbariansStrengths: Dominant RB depth with McCaffrey, Williams, and Kamara as a powerhouse trio, offering matchup-proof options. Solid WR starters in Higgins, Adams, and Olave for consistent scoring. Weaknesses: QB is a major liability with Nix's unproven status and lower ranking. Late WR picks like Thielen and Godwin lack upside. Kicker is a low-ranked rookie, and overall bench lacks high-ceiling flyers. Overall Grade: D Howdy NabersStrengths: Premier WR corps led by Lamb and St. Brown, with high-upside rookies like Egbuka and Hunter for depth. Jackson provides elite QB rushing floor, and Bowers is a top-tier TE prospect. Solid RB volume eaters like Conner and Pollard. Weaknesses: No kicker drafted, forcing a waiver claim and potential early-season disadvantage. RB group is middling with injury risks (Dobbins, Harris) and lower rankings overall. Backup QB Maye is developmental. Overall Grade: B ChiBitCTyStrengths: Deep RB rotation with Jacobs and Walker as anchors, plus volume shares from Montgomery and Warren. Jefferson headlines a promising WR group with young talents like McConkey and McMillan. Weaknesses: WR depth is limited to four players, risking exposure to injuries. QBs are mid-tier without elite upside. TE Njoku is inconsistent, and specialists are average. Overall Grade: C Ayahuasca BrewersStrengths: Robust RB core with Henry's power and Pacheco's explosiveness, plus depth options. Top-end WRs like Collins, Evans, and Smith offer reliable production. Mahomes provides QB stability. Weaknesses: TE Warren is a low-ranked rookie with uncertainty. Later WR picks like Shakir and Coleman are speculative. No major steals in value, leading to a balanced but unexciting roster. Overall Grade: B PsilonsStrengths: McBride anchors TE with high potential. RB starters Irving and Brown offer youth and upside, while WR depth is plentiful with veterans like Diggs and Kupp. Weaknesses: QBs are lower-ranked and lack dynamism. WR group is crowded but mid-tier overall, with injury risks (Kupp, Rice). Limited RB depth beyond the top three. Overall Grade: C Vitalik Strong BodyStrengths: Loaded WR stable with Nabers, Wilson, and Metcalf as a dynamic trio, plus depth for flex plays. Allen is an elite QB, and Kittle provides premium TE production. Jeanty leads RBs with breakout potential. Weaknesses: RB depth relies on recovering or unproven players like Williams and Sampson. No QB backup increases risk. Specialists are middling. Overall Grade: A
Of course, quite honestly, its really all about how teams handle injuries that make or break a season. I'd put this skill as equally important as the draft, TBH. |

I did significantly more prep in terms of mock drafts this year. It was kind of addictive. I've been doing 2 a day for the last 3 days. My strategy is gonna be completely different this year. I have no idea if its gonna pay off or not so no point in sharing yet. Its probably more in line with what a lot of people have been doing this whole time, lol.
Anyway, good luck to all, and I'll see you in about 40-50 minutes.

You do understand that this isn't actually "proof" the company does mining. Its just a dashboard. Anything, or nothing at all, could be behind the numbers being shown. It could be 100% legit or it could be a front for a ponzi scheme. For some people no proof will ever be enough, why in the world would I lie?
I don't know. I will just assume you are telling the truth about being a customer. To be honest the whole thing screams scam, that's my takeaway from having looked at these types of operations pretty intimately for 5+ years. The action I am taking is stop investing with them, but I have no choice but continue to be a customer for the 70+ miners running in 3 hosting centers.
If I was you I would withdraw everything now, while there's still a likelihood of them paying out investors. |

Two People Collect Full Spells of Genesis SetsThis is a feat that had only been accomplished one time before. Spells of Genesis is universally regarded as the 1st digital trading card collection on any blockchain. In addition, it was one of the first attempts at blockchain-based gameplay, where certain cards increased a player's performance in-game. Truly an innovative project & a cornerstone of the Historical NFT movement. https://x.com/g0barry/status/1962219630027510189 There are 287 cards in total, but only 37 full sets can ever be created. The cards were launched on the Counterparty platform, with the most iconic ones ( FDCARD, SATOSHICARD, DOGECOINCARD) released in 2015 & 2016. Spells of Genesis continues to operate as a game today, although it will take you a lot of time and cost a pretty penny to cobble together a full set of your own.

We are at 9 right now, we all kind of slacked off on doing any recruiting as we waited on seekr and southpark too long, that was my bad.
If we can get 12 last minute that would be a miracle!
I can see about getting a couple guys to jump in but wouldn't be too known on the football thread but that will get us to 12. Oh, my bad. I thought we were at 11 struggling to get to 12. I'm perfectly happy with a 10-man league. I did PM homer, hopefully he replies positively. He's an all-around good guy with a great sense of humor (trying to butter him up in case he's reading this) and would fit in perfectly with our cast of characters. So we have 3 people trying to recruit at least 1 player each. If we are successful that will put us at 12. But like I said, 10 is fine with me if that's what it comes down to. |

I just wanted to report that I finally had time to take a look at my Merit Poker deck by ibminer and I am blown away by the amount of detail put into this set. Its absolutely an amazing bit of Bitcointalk history that I will cherish forever.   Luckily I have 2 sets, so I can play with 1 and keep the other sealed. I love the little hexagonal chips, I should order like 100 of them to use for real play. Thank you so much ibminer, you are da man! One of my favorite moments of the whole Merit Poker saga was how there was initially no lower limit set on chip balances, so you could gamble on infinite credit, lol. I'd never seen that in a poker game before and will never forget it as it was funny as hell. |

We should both listen to what the other has to say, I have indisputable data that contradicts some of your statements, it complements others.
Would you mind presenting some of it? Anybody can say they have anything, but without proof, it means nothing. You're just asking us to take your word for it. I personally found some obvious manipulations which make it appear oneminers are lying about owning anything outside of a PO box. They seem to have a good marketing budget which they use to tour actual mining farms and take a bunch of pictures to pretend they own them. A lot of the information they provide just doesn't add up. In the end we agree, oneminers is not to be trusted, but our reasons are quite different.
My concern is that fraud and lies are so deeply engrained in the policies and culture at oneminers that it is hopeless.
Regardless of how correct me or ABCbits are, my view is this is just another reason why nobody should support oneminers or send them any money. |

I really don't have much to say concerning the new merit system which might be implemented in the future.In my own opinion,I don't think this demeriting system would affect newbies that are spamming the forum with garbage,rather it's going to affect high ranked members that doesn't earn merits consistently.
You're right, newbies can't be affected because they don't have any merits. A lot of "high ranked members" are just bought or farmed accounts run by multi-accounters. These accounts will be affected more than people who only have 1 account because they're not used to spending the time necessary to construct good posts. If you can't get 1 merit for every 10 posts, I don't have sympathy for you. so you think implementing this rule would stop newbies from hunting peanuts on airdrop token?
No, and that has nothing to do with anything. Its not aimed to discourage bounty hunters so much as shitposters who know they are doing nothing but posting shit. |

The users who would have used copy/paste plagiarism are now using AI, it's also a form of plagiarism if you think it through, because in fact-related topics, it has to extract information from somewhere.
Yep, this is 100% the way I see it as well. I mean, peeps that engage in AI shitposting are doing the exact same thing plagiarists are doing: implicitly taking credit for content they didn't create. And its largely for the same reason, which is to avoid having to use one's own brain. Posting AI material is perhaps even more offensive than plagiarizing IMHO. After all, any idiot can do what these people are doing. Meaning, any idiot has access to ChatGPT or Grok and can feed it a post to respond to or ask it to generate a summary of this or that topic. |

OK guys it's settled.
I'm not wasting another second on sleeper.
We have a slot available.
Hmm... I don't really know anybody outside of the usuals in this thread. What about xhomerx10? He might be interested as I recall him commenting on games from time to time. I will send him a PM. I think if no-one has an issue with it then we can Plan on Wed night 9pm EST ?
Sure, that works well for me. Have my first draft tomorrow. I can ask in the other NFL thread if anyone is interested...there are 3-4 guys who follow the league. I'm also willing to cover their entry fees.
Sure, please do. If we can't come up with a 12th player by draft day, someone will have to voluntarily back out. Hopefully that won't be the case. |

It does seem like the issue according to Rollbit has shifted from multi-accounting to AML, which is weird. This casino safety summary by Casino Guru is quite telling:  They are categorized as a "very big casino" yet still have a high value of withheld winnings in relation to their size, lol. As Rollbit does have a presence on the forum, the least they could do is address the issue in this thread. However, that seems unlikely to happen. It also seems unlikely that they will respond on Casino Guru either. https://casino.guru/rollbit-casino-review#tab=js-tab-reputationThis casino refuses to assist in resolving any players’ complaints. All of our previous attempts to establish any cooperation were overlooked. Therefore, the majority of newly submitted complaints are marked as unresolved and have a negative impact on the casino’s rating. OP you can open a type 2 or 3 flag on Rollbitcom which will cause a warning label to be displayed at the top of each page in their thread once it is active. This won't necessarily help you get your money back but it will make anyone visiting that thread think twice before depositing funds at Rollbit. You can use this thread as your reference link in the flag. They currently have 2 inactive flags. |

Here's a 2018 account that came back to life after a nearly 4-year absence to start threads with the help of AI. sohidulsk99He only has 7 posts since 2021 but they are all AI-generated. Here's 5 of them: #1 I think the idea of Bitcoin as protection against economic collapse is both interesting and complex. On one hand, Bitcoin provides something traditional finance cannot: a decentralized and borderless asset that cannot be printed or inflated at will. For individuals living in countries with high inflation or strict capital controls, Bitcoin has already served as a lifeline.
On the other hand, during global crises, we often see Bitcoin’s price move down together with stocks and other risk assets. This suggests that in the short term, it may not act as a “perfect hedge” but more like a highly volatile alternative asset.
Perhaps the real protective value of Bitcoin is not in short-term price stability, but in the long-term guarantee that its supply cannot be manipulated by governments or central banks. If the traditional financial system keeps moving towards more debt and money printing, then over time, Bitcoin could indeed stand out as a form of digital protection.
The real question might not be “can Bitcoin save us from collapse today?” but “how much stronger will Bitcoin become after each crisis exposes the weaknesses of fiat money?
Sapling: 100% Fake Copyleaks: 100% AI generated GPTZero: 100% AI generated #2 It is indeed fascinating that Satoshi mined over a million Bitcoins yet never moved them. This act alone separates him from almost every other figure in the history of finance and technology.
In many ways, the untouched coins are more than just a mystery — they serve as a symbol. They remind us that Bitcoin was not created for personal gain but for a larger vision of financial freedom and decentralization.
If Satoshi had spent or cashed out those coins, the narrative of Bitcoin might have been very different. Instead, by walking away, he ensured that the focus remained on the technology itself, not on the creator.
Sometimes I wonder:
👉 If one day those coins were ever moved, would it weaken Bitcoin’s legend, or would it make the network stronger by proving that even Satoshi must ultimately rely on the same rules as everyone else?
Sapling: 100% Fake Copyleaks: 100% AI generated GPTZero: 100% AI generated #3 Bitcoin was designed to be censorship-resistant, but governments still have power to regulate exchanges, restrict banks, and control internet infrastructure.
It makes me think:
If several major countries coordinated a strict ban, would Bitcoin transactions still remain strong through peer-to-peer networks?
Could users shift more toward decentralized exchanges and privacy tools if regulations become too harsh?
Or would such actions simply push Bitcoin underground, similar to how some banned technologies still survive?
👉 I am curious about the community’s thoughts — would Bitcoin survive and adapt under a global ban scenario, or would adoption slow down significantly?
Sapling: 100% Fake Copyleaks: 100% AI generated GPTZero: 100% AI generated #4 Thanks for sharing the full list of matches, it looks like a very competitive week.
From my side, a few games stand out:
Liverpool vs Watford → Liverpool at home is usually very strong, so I think this should be a safe pick.
Feyenoord vs PSV → This one feels tricky, because both teams are in good form. For me it looks like a game where both teams could score.
Arsenal vs Manchester City → Probably the most exciting match of the list. City has the quality, but Arsenal at home with their current form can make it difficult. I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends in a draw.
Overall, I think making a multi-leg parlay this week will be tough because too many close games are on the list. Safer picks might be Liverpool and PSG, but the rest look unpredictable.
Sapling: 100% Fake GPTZero: 100% AI generated #5 Bitcoin’s base layer is designed with limited block size and block interval to maintain decentralization and security. However, this also creates scalability challenges when transaction demand increases.
Layer 2 solutions such as the Lightning Network are often considered the best approach to scale Bitcoin without compromising its fundamental principles. Yet, questions remain:
Can Lightning (or other Layer 2 protocols) eventually handle the majority of Bitcoin transactions securely?
What are the technical limitations that still need to be solved (e.g., routing, liquidity, channel capacity)?
If Layer 2 becomes the main medium for transactions, will the base layer primarily serve as a settlement layer, similar to how central banks handle reserves?
I am curious to know the community’s technical perspective on whether Bitcoin’s long-term transaction scalability will depend mostly on Layer 2 solutions, or if significant base layer changes may still be necessary in the future.

I think this is more of scaring newbies or people away from this forum since there are many laws that governs the forum.
OK but how many different accounts do you have on the forum? Going by your post history, its pretty obvious this isn't your first account. Your 2nd post is an in-depth critique of signature campaign managers, even though your account has never actually been in a sig campaign. Did it ever occur to you that if you concentrated on "growing" just one account you'd be more likely to get merits and rank up beyond the Member ranking? |
|
|
|
How about a new rank "Shitposter" that is skipped when ranking up, i.e. can't be reached by "normally" ranking up? But you can be de-ranked into it! This rank, once reached by enough shitposting with PowerGlove's proposal, would put severe limitations for those who become de-ranked into it. The details of such limitations are tbd.
I like it. Instead of saying the normal rank, it just says "Shitposter," after someone has written something like 100 meritless posts in a row. It would make it pretty hard to join a signature campaign. The special title could be removed after they receive at least 1 merit from 5 different accounts within their next 100 posts. Quite honestly these all sound like April Fool's implementations, lol. |
