1  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Which Linux distribution would you use now? on: November 28, 2023, 11:26:42 AM
Look for an LTS version, they are supported for 10 years usually after being released. In case you are using a bit old laptop, look for a lighter distro like XUbuntu to make the best out of your resources.

"In order to be successful, you have to find out what makes you excited. What makes you wanna get up each morning and go to work? If you love what you do and dedicate yourself to your work, you will gain that momentum and each success will create another success. Never quit, never give up. Do something you love. When you do something that you love, you'll never fail. What you are going to do is give it a shot again and again and again. You're ultimately going to be successful." - Donald John Trump

Some say he's an Idiot but something he says sometimes makes sense. LOL. What do you think about it? Is it some way to manipulate people or that's the right thing to do?

Not everyone has the luxury of doing exactly what they like. For instance, if you like to tell stories, you can't go and pick some random person and ask them to listen to your story. Yet, you can associate it with other things and make yourself unique. You can help people or brands to build their brand story, or make a boring presentation interesting by composing the bigger picture into a story. I believe that anyone who is happy with whatever they are doing is rich. Your unique abilities can bring you to the next level.

Sometimes thought like "what happens if you are attacked and while trying to defend yourself, the person dies", flies through my mind and I just wonder if I can live with the consciousness that i have taken a soul.

I mean it will be as if the person will always come and hunt me in the dream.

I respect all the military men out there.


If it's not intentional, professional therapy might be helpful. However, such a situation can disturb you deeply, leading to mental disorders sometimes. It's always best to try to make your life guilt-free. The fact that even such thoughts disturb you means you have a good heart. Continue to be good, stay positive!

As an investor, i did a lots of invest in altcoins. Those were suppose to be good that time with having good hype, good team and community. But with having all of thats, most of altcoins scam after a time! I wonder for some altcoins, they were suppose not to be go but they scammed without any reason! And hundreds of altcoins are in my wallet, which are turn into dead shitcoin now.
This will happened to every altcoins. If you are investing on long time, it is better to invest in bitcoins. If you are short time investor, you can invest altcoins, but you have to take profits end of the market cycle. Otherwise it will be huge loss.

How to identify the shitcoins?

1. Unlimited supply
2. no usecase
3. No major development from the project side

Even shitcoins perform so well during bull markets. You need to analyze many parameters like token distribution, project deliverables, developer team, etc. in addition to the parameters mentioned above. The process is fairly difficult, yet worth it. Else, it's best to exit while you have some profits.
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Time to invest AI coins? on: September 25, 2023, 07:12:02 AM
Ico, ieo, defi, meme, nft and so many altcoin trend came,  created hype and then end. I notice, when a new trend start, then trend Related new altcoins are getting lots of investor and become profitable! And seeing such success ratio, scammers also launch their token and destroy the trend and hype with scam. Now Ai coins are in trend. FET, AGIX and OCEAN are suppose to be good for investment. What do you Think? Time to invest AI coins or you avoid?
It's always good to see that the newest technologies get involved in the use cases of new projects. What I personally believe is all the projects should have saved space for upcoming technologies so that they can keep upgrading for good. However, it doesn't change the fact that not all projects bear fruits, there could always be shit projects. Calculated risks, thorough fundamental analysis, etc. can help manage the risks involved with investing in any project.

For some reason, the adoption of many projects does not seem well no matter how good the use case is. It might be due to the human nature of being comfortable with the existing solutions despite diving into something completely new. Still, a bull trend can have a considerable impact on milking such projects.
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which cryptocurrencies should gain broader payment gateway acceptance soon? on: September 22, 2023, 02:08:47 PM
Cryptocurrencies have been gaining significant traction in recent years, with an increasing number of businesses and individuals adopting them as alternative means of payment. As this digital revolution continues to unfold, we want to hear your thoughts and preferences regarding which cryptocurrencies you'd like to see more widely accepted by payment gateways in the near future.

In this discussion, we aim to explore the cryptocurrency landscape from the perspective of everyday users and cryptocurrency enthusiasts. We invite you to share your views on specific cryptocurrencies that you believe should be integrated into mainstream payment gateways and why you think they deserve broader acceptance.

Whether you're a seasoned crypto investor, a casual user, or someone just beginning to dip their toes into the world of digital currencies, your input is valuable. Join the conversation, voice your opinions, and help shed light on the future of cryptocurrency adoption in the realm of digital payments. Together, we'll uncover which cryptocurrencies hold the most promise and potential for widespread acceptance, offering insights that could shape the future of finance and technology.
As someone coming from a software background, it is a costly process to add a new payment gateway. For instance, imagine you are integrating a new payment gateway into an existing commercial platform, you need to create a brand new payment gateway, update the particular commercial platform to include the new gateway, and perform multiple rounds of testing such as usability testing, load testing, etc. Additionally, the existing payment gateways usually do not charge anything from the customer's side for using their gateway, the merchant pays a fee for every transaction made. All of these costs including the considerably higher gas fees will have a heavy impact on the forthcoming crypto payment gateways.

Inevitably when it comes to the business world, any business will consider the return on investment of such a process. Personally, I think it will take a while for crypto payment gateways to get widely used and normalized.
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can NFTs last forever? on: September 22, 2023, 01:38:23 PM
All of the NFTs you know and love today, have their data stored their on centralized servers (images, video, etc). What is only stored on the Blockchain is just the properties of the NFT itself. While you're basically the "owner" of the NFT, you could lose technically lose it if the centralized server hosting the content of the NFT goes down.

So, what's the point of investing in NFTs if they can disappear in an instant? Unless all of the content is stored on the Blockchain itself, I don't see how NFTs will be able to last forever. Are there already solutions in the works that I'm not aware of? Please enlighten me on this. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Smiley
I always had questions about the usability and business value of NFTs. They all seem appealing at the beginning, yet the usage is either super limited or questionable. Imagine that you purchase an NFT that is super specific to a particular state of a game, how would you guarantee that the value would retain? It's a bit difficult to find reasons for me to invest in NFTs.

Issue resolved. He'd be more careful I guess. Appreciate your response.

Banned on: 27th August
Banned reason: commenting on an on-forum "ATA Lira" altcoin giveaway
Banned Duration: 7 days

Is there a way to recover his account or remove the ban?
