1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Decentraland turning into SHITCOIN! SHITTIEST SHIT OF THE SHIT! MONEY LOSS 100% on: Today at 02:44:05 PM
I have a LAND there which I can't sell. Because nobody needs this shit. I'm stuck there forever

I'm sure you could sell it, you just have to list it on their marketplace below the floor price for similar tiles.

While just about every "metaverse" project has been a disappointment in some way, I think Decentraland has come a long way in the past few years and still has the most potential to "make it." People are building stuff there every day. Having said that, I won't be investing in MANA or land tiles any time soon. It is fun to roam around and see peoples' creations though, no doubt.

I really don't get why the obvious spammers get such a soft treatment nowadays.
Maybe it's related to declining activity on the forum, so even those spammers are seen as a necessary evil to keep the forum active. Beggars can't be choosers. Tongue

I don't think the forum necessarily needs any activity at all... But the bar for what passes as 'conversation' is so low on certain boards, singling out certain posts as "spam" almost seems like a futile effort.

Spam megathreads work great for reaching post quotas. That's 800+ posts about nothing, read by nobody, but all being paid.

Its truly a weird phenomenon that it is still somehow deemed a good idea to pay such posts... I don't completely understand the intricacies of it.

Honestly, I really want to rank up here for many reasons like credibility, trust and networking.Sometimes I observe and realise that higher ranks often come with increased credibility and trust within the community.This can make it easier to engage in meaningful discussions and have their opinions respected.
I acknowledged that participating
actively, providing valuable insights, and helping others, these elements can be gradually ranked up but yet I can't enjoy these benefits.

My first recommendation to you would be to stop using AI to write your posts for you. This is not the way. You can't grow an account with this behavior, trust me.

I agree with you that sound financial management requires a balance between investing and building emergency or backup funds. Investments like Bitcoin can be tempting to try for quick savings, but maintaining financial stability and security through backup funds is crucial. This approach may slow down savings, but it provides a safety net in times of emergency, ensures long-term success and protects against investment volatility. Patience and backup funds are key to a sustainable and safe investment strategy.

I appreciate that age doesn't barrier but knowledge is the crucial for investment in cryptocurrency.Bitcoin's lack of age requirements and the autonomy it offers can be seen as both strengths and potential risks. While it empowers individuals to manage their own finances and participate in the global economy, it also requires a high level of personal responsibility and knowledge.Balancing Freedom Bitcoin provides the necessary education and security measures to ensure young users can safely navigate the world of cryptocurrency.

Post #3 (a few spaced added after periods, between sentences)

"Buy the dip & hold" is a popular investment strategy in the cryptocurrency market as well as traditional financial markets. The basic idea behind this strategy is to buy assets at low prices and take advantage of price declines or recessions by holding them for the long term. Buying the dip allows investors to purchase assets at prices lower than their recent highs. This can potentially increase the overall return on investment if asset prices rebound later. Holding assets over the long term, even during market downturns, allows investors to benefit from the potential growth of assets over time. By sticking to the "buy the dip and hold" strategy, investors can avoid making emotional decisions based on short-term market fluctuations. This can help reduce panic selling tendencies during market downturns, which often lead to losses.
"Bye the dip & hold" can also be combined with dollar-cost averaging where investors regularly buy a fixed dollar amount over time regardless of price. This can help smooth out the effects of market volatility and potentially lower the average purchase price over time. Buying the dip and holding assets is aligned with belief in the long-term fundamentals of the asset. It implies confidence in the underlying technology and the potential for future adoption and growth.

Cryptocurrencies, in particular, have shown significant growth over the years, making them attractive for long-term holding strategies. I love this strategy and always suggest it to everyone.

✨ Billionaire Pantera CEO Dan Morehead ignoring the FUD and buying #Bitcoin   , exactly 11 years ago.

He bought 30,000 BTC for $65, and is up 80,000% – all because he bought the dip 👏

How many accounts do you have, where you just copy/paste stuff from Twitter in a lame attempt to get merits. You should really focus on just developing one account instead of 10.

Its a bitch when you buy an account and then it gets tagged, isn't it. But why let the merits go to waste.

I think I'm going to, if only because I'm a cranky old curmudgeon who'd discontent with the way a very old-school internet discussion forum is being corrupted by AI after already being massively corrupted by incentivized posting.  I like to bitch until steam comes out of my poor listeners' ears, but as I said I also have a fondness for bitcointalk and see its decline and possible end coming sooner rather than later.

I feel the same way except I don't think Bitcointalk will ever disappear, at least not before Bitcoin itself fades into obscurity, which is gonna be a long while from now, with any luck.

Satoshi's posts are too important to the internet for this forum to fail, and even though there's been controversy due to the URL change (among other things), this is the best place to view them... in their original context, just as they were 13-14 years ago.

10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Shitcoin 3.0 Discussion Thread [Unmoderated] on: July 12, 2024, 08:58:59 AM
I just want to point out that the name of the coin should have been Shitcoin 2.0, as it turns out there was only one "Shit Coin" before ours. The second one turned out to be a hoax  Shocked  who would have guessed it. So we are actually the 2nd "Shitcoin" and the 1st token to ever be named SHITCOIN, on any platform.

We turn 10 years old next month. Here's our original announcement:

[ANN] Shitcoin 3.0 - First Parody Token on the First Parody Blockchain!

On Aug 15, our 10th anniversary, we'll be doing a SHIT airdrop on Twitter, so give us a follow over there:

https://twitter.com/Shitcoin30

Don't forget to create a Dogeparty address, which is a tokenization system for Dogecoin (also turns 10 next month):

So, who is still around, more than 10 years after launch?

Anyone from the old days who reponds to this post, I've got plenty of goodies (some high-issuance pepes, some rarer ones, some fun old assets) to give away!

To qualify:  you must have previously posted in this thread prior to July 2019 _and_ you must not have posted anything more recently.

Either post your Counterparty address here, or by PM.

I almost qualify... you might not have any takers as this thread is pretty dead as of late. Here's my first post in it:

What will happen if someone puts up an illegal asset? Has anybody raised that question yet?

Lets say somone anonymous creates an asset that infringes on some companies copyrights, called "Facebook" or "Nintendo" for example?
Or if I create an asset that makes money with illegal activities like DDOS blackmail or sale of drugs. Would a SilkRoad-asset be allowed to exist and is there any way to remove it? What is the official policy of the devs if they have regarding those cases?

Counterparty is an open platform, like Bitcoin itself, and no one (not even a dev) is capable of removing or renaming other users' assets

Hi PhantomPhreak,

I too am only a month or two into Counterparty and am fascinated by its capabilities and potential. Since SilkRoad was shut down do you fear websites like Counterwallet could potentially be shut down if there was evidence of some sort of nefarious activities (regarding copyright infringement or illegal goods) going on with the assets?

I am near certain a few NXT assets have been publicly exposed as more-or-less scams already, though to be fair one guy (NewNxtGames) did offer to repurchase all the assets he sold at their purchase price when his whole idea for making games based on the NXT blockchain fell through.

My apologies if you are already well tired of answering this question. I read all the CounterParty Protocol and Wiki articles and will dig into this thread before I ask any potentially silly questions.

Here's my main token collection address, as its already public knowledge: 1864jXLSdbZq319oQScCNG1m7nLYbGHuBX

Am always happy to pick up a new Rare Pepe. Would send you something old & strange in return.

For anyone who might be interested, here's where most of the action is happening when it comes to Counterparty:

https://t.me/Counterparty_XCP

Its good to see the old devs back at the helm, even if its stirred some controversy... any new attention on this platform is welcomed IMO.

Futures trading carries significantly higher risk compared to spot trading. With futures, you can potentially lose your entire investment, while spot trading typically limits losses to your initial investment. Setting stop-loss orders in futures trading may seem like a way to prevent losses, but you might hit multiple stop-losses until your position is liquidated.

I agree that investing in altcoins needs more research. It's smart to be careful. Although, some altcoins are less risky and easier to understand. For example, DeFi coins that support decentralized finance activities, or coins involved in restaking, can be good choices. Especially when they have strong backers, these altcoins can be safer investments.

They are also a B*tg*t shill
I count 931 posts (more than 80% of the spam posts listed) since this spam suddenly started on April 27. Before that, it was never mentioned, and it hasn't stopped since.

They were banned, probably as a spammer. So that's a nice development. It always makes me feel warm in my heart when a shitty account gets banned. It is a bit funny that they are also running a signature campaign, although I think it is being hosted outside the forum.

Ah... PayBase Honors $20 Paycoin™ https://web.archive.org/web/20150112061037/http://blog.paybase.com/paybase-honors-20-paycoin/

I remember the price reached $20 for a brief moment and dived.


"GAW is gonna make me so fuckin rich with this U$20 floor."

This is such an iconic thread. If I had more time I could probably read several more pages.

On the other hand, I have won hundreds of easy fiat from claims on this site: https://topclassactions.com/  and they pay off much faster, as all the legal judgements have already been adjudicated.  GL!

I2P is another option. Ever heard of eepsites? They're sites built on the I2P network using the .i2p domain. I've found this article online to anyone's interest: https://mhatta.medium.com/how-to-set-up-untraceable-websites-eepsites-on-i2p-1fe26069271d

Who knows if someone decides to build a decentralized marketplace or exchange on top of a decentralized network infrastructure in the future?  Roll Eyes

What's interesting is the 2nd version of the AlphaBay darknet marketplace used I2P in addition to Tor and one of the roadmap items offered by the dev (DeSnake) was to build a decentralized marketplace that could never fully be taken down. That turned out to be bumpkis, and DeSnake just disappeared off the face of the planet, but from a DNM user standpoint its not a bad idea, kind of like a highly illegal OpenBazaar (wonder what ever happened to them as well).

Its a good idea in theory but was never put to much practical use. Several years ago there was an update to Mozilla Firefox that broke compatibility with the Namecoin plugin that allowed people to host websites under ".bit" domains. Last I heard there is still another way to do it, but its not widely used.

IMO the reason why decentralized domains never really took off is because Tor already does a pretty good job of allowing for uncensorable websites. The URLs just aren't as memorable as "nutildah.bit" or something.

With ENS, yes its great that you can just type "nutildah.eth" in an explorer or in Metamask and it will instantly convert to the ENS owner's ETH address. But AFAIK they aren't actually being used as website domains.

It's been a while because I was on vacation, but we got back on track. I wasn't sure at first, but some of their replies are spot on that they're AI written, others however, aren't. Any thoughts, I'm confident that it's a combination of an AI writer more fluent than ChatGPT, possibly humanizer and adding their own sentences, while spreading the AI through their posts so it's not that prevalent.

They are also a Bitget shill and got called out for it pretty hard in this other thread of theirs. Here's a few more examples of AI use:

Post #1

Hey everyone! I come from a time where AI is revolutionizing everything - from how we work and think to how we solve problems. Though mostly created by humans and comprised of code, AI is making our lives easier and faster. That's why I'm always intrigued by new projects, especially ones like VIRTUAL Protocol that bring AI solutions to the web3 space.

VIRTUAL Protocol enables the creation of AI entities capable of text, voice, and motion responses in virtual environments. Its main goal is to produce and market these AI personas effectively.

The protocol incentivizes individuals to contribute data and create AI models, while validators ensure quality and functionality, earning rewards in return. Integration into the system is simple for DApp founders, allowing for quick and cost-effective creation of immersive experiences. Content creators can creatively monetize their characters and stories. Exciting times ahead! What possibilities do you envision for AI in the web3 space?

Saw a tweet about interoperability protocols and it got me curious. From what I understand, an interoperability protocol is like a bridge that connects different blockchain networks, allowing them to communicate and share data with each other seamlessly. Think of it like a universal translator for blockchains!

In the DeFi space, this means that different projects can work together more efficiently, sharing resources and information. It's like having a central hub that connects all the different servers, making it easier for them to talk to each other.

I'd love to learn more about interoperability protocols and explore some examples. Can anyone share their insights or mention some specific protocols that are making waves in the DeFi space?

As a participant in the dynamic crypto space, I can't help but be in awe of the remarkable women who are leading the charge and shaping the future of this industry. Two names that stand out to me are Yi He, the co-founder of Binance, and Gracy Chen, the CEO of Bitget.

Yi He's story is particularly captivating – hailing from the remote countryside of Sichuan Province in China, she defied her humble beginnings to carve out a successful career in psychology and television before finding her true calling in the world of finance and technology. As the co-founder of Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, Yi He has demonstrated an unparalleled ability to identify and nurture talent, building a strong, diverse team that has been instrumental to the exchange's meteoric rise.

Equally impressive is the story of Gracy Chen, who has seamlessly transitioned from a successful career as a television host to becoming a trailblazing entrepreneur and now the CEO of Bitget, one of the world's largest crypto exchanges. As the head of Bitget, Chen oversees a team of over 1,500 employees, demonstrating her exceptional leadership skills and her deep understanding of the crypto industry.

The stories of Yi He and Gracy Chen serve as a powerful reminder of the immense talent and potential that women bring to the crypto space. These trailblazers are not only redefining the industry, but also inspiring a new generation of women to pursue their dreams and push the boundaries of what's possible in the world of finance and technology.

19  Economy / Reputation / Re: cryptomus_com why isn't the Sig+Campaign orking properly? What is their purpose? on: July 11, 2024, 02:59:06 AM
I will probably withdraw support for the flag, now that everyone has been paid, but what we have here is a fucking scammer who has run a shitty campaign with low budged, who has plagiarized and has been banned for it, who hasn't paid several members because he didn't want to, and who has only done so in the face of community pressure with the flag and red tags.

I call that high risk.

And by the way, does it make much sense for you to be concerned about the reputation of this scammer when he has been Autobanned in archived status?

They likely won't be back -- if they did come back, it'd be ban evasion anyway... And its probably a good thing as I have doubts about the legitimacy of their product. So yeah, I'd say their reputation here no longer matters. But at least most of the campaign members got paid.

Edit: How will the forum look at the fact that there is plagiarism in the manager’s story? You can check the creation dates of the site from which the post was copied. Is it necessary to block a manager for the fact that, at the development stage, the manager did not speak in his own words but copied them from another site? Previously, it sounded like a scam.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.msg64306824#msg64306824

Good find. The plagiarism issue should lead to a ban, and its usually not a good sign when a project/company copy/pastes stuff from other projects. Although to be fair I did poke around online and didn't see any evidence that it is actually a scam.
