Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Second Phase – Cleaning

on: May 27, 2019, 05:44:23 PM

This topic is not about merit. Since mukhang successful naman na tayo sa ating first phase which is magkaroon ng new merit source and to have more quality posters here sa ating local board. cabalism13 is our new local merit source, I think we still need another source at sa nakikita ko ang pwede is si crwth, hope na ma-approve din naman siya. Para naman sa ating second phase, I present to you mga fellow Filipinos "Reporting or cleaning our local board/bitcointalk" Meron tayong Guides: English Version: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4519248 Filipino Version: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4857368 Sa phase na ito hinihikayat naman natin na simulan natin linisin ang sariling local board at kung maaari ang buong bitcointalk na din, sa nakikita ko meron pa rin mga rehash lang na post dito sa ating local at bitcointalk as a whole. Kung i-click niyo ang guide sa pagrereport halos andyan na din naman lahat ng kailangan ninyong malaman, I will just add up ang mga experienced ko at to showcase na rin nang reporting stats ko dito sa forum (hindi ko nilalagay sa meta ito at gusto para sa mga Filipino na muna). Kung gusto mo magkaroon ng Your report history para makita ang history ng iyong mga reports dapat ay magkaroon ka ng sapat na reports, at least 300. Pag na-click mo na yan, mapupunta ka sa below image (sample nang aking reporting history). Sa image above, makikita niyo ang kulay ng yellow, red, and green. Which has corresponding names na unhandled, bad, and good. Yellow - ito yung mga pending na reports mo, pwede siyang mapunta sa bad or good reporting. Meron din mga times na magiging unhandled lang talaga siya depende sa decision ng staff na maghandle nito, kung hindi sila sigurado sa pwedeng magiging habang ukol sa iyong report. Red – ito yung masasabing wag kang magfocus, kasi lahat naman tayo nagkakamali may mga reports ka na nadelete pero nilagyan naman ng bad reporting, oo, to tell you all magkakaroon ka ng times na disappointed ka or frustrated ka kasi bakit siya nadelete ibig sabihin dapat good reporting siya di ba? Sasabihin mo sayang lang nang time ko dito nagreport ako tapos nilagyan lang ng bad reporting. Ang deleted post ay hindi mo na talaga pwedeng mareport pa ulit pero yung iba na hindi pa nadedelete ay pwede mo naman siya i-report ulit. Example image below: Sa nakikita niyo sa image sample ko, naging good na siya for the third time, ito yung first time image and discussed on Meta ---> Re: [Competition] Report spammers and pseudo-goodposters, ayun sa global moderator na nakausap ko, dapat daw kausapin ko or find out who are the moderators ang naghandled nyan at mukhang obvious naman na copy and paste lang siya bakit naging bad? You can view the sample bad reporting sa link above. Kaya advice ko sa inyo wag kayo mawalan nang pag-asa, lahat tayo nagkakamali even moderators or staff nagkakamali kaya report lang nang report at sure ako magiging good reporting din yan or mapupunta yan sa taong my knowledge sa reports mo. Actually, lately dumdami na yung bad reporting ko simula nung pagbalik ko, kind of strange na dapat ko pang ulitin siya para maging good lang. Different staff ay merong sariling decision pero minsan kasi siguro busy lang sila kaya napipindot nila ibang key. Again, wag niyong isipin ito masyado ang importante alam niyo na tama yung nireport niyo at pwede mo naman siya ulitin hanggat hindi pa siya nadedelete. Green – ito naman yung mga good reports na hindi na kailangan ng mahabang explanation at makikita niyo naman sa guide ang mga procedures na pwede niyong gawin para magkaroon kayo ng maganda accuracy, iba pa din yung nakikita mo na 100% accurate ang iyong pagrereport mas nakaka-engganyo, d ba? Ginagawa ko, parati akong nag-chechek ng Patrol, dito mas nakikita ko yung mga spam post at click ko yung mismong reply para macheck ko din kung dun sa topic na yun ay meron pang ibang spam posts or any unwanted posts, hindi agad ako nagdirect report to moderator. Marahil merong magtatanung sa inyo kung ano nga ba ang benipisyo ng pagrereport? Nasa guide na po ang mga list ng benefits. Bilang kumita lang ang purpose dito, ano ang kikitain ko dyan sa pagrereport? Pwedeng mawala ang pinagkikitaan mo kung hindi ka tutulong sa pagrereport. Kung puro spam na lang ang bitcointalk wala din silbi ang kumita dito at wala nang magkakaroon nang interest magbasa dito kung puro lang naman paulit ulit ang sinasabi sa forum na ito. Pwedeng mawala ang isang forum dahil lang sa spam. Kaya bilang isang member ng community na ito, responsibilidad natin na panatilihing malinis ito. Huwag na wag kayo gumawa ng ikaka-ban nang inyong mga account at ito ay ang personalidad nyo sa forum na ito. On a personal note: Marahil nagtatanung din kayo kung bakit hindi na ako active magpost dito at mapapansin din nang mga staff na mukhang kumukunti ang reporting ni theyoungmillionaire, I’m suffering from financial problem as like you guys, I’m also human. Hindi lang sumagi sa isip ko na darating sa point nang buhay ko na magkakaroon ako sa chapter na mag-struggle sa finances. I’m depress, but, life has to move on. I never earned sa forum na ito at wala naman ako signature campaign, d ba? Kaya magtatanung kayo bakit ko pa ginagawa ang magreport at pilitin ayusin ang Filipino image? Bakit ka nag-aaksaya nang internet, electricity, at laptop usage mo? It is not just about me and I never think na mas mataas ako sa mga tao dito sa forum, you haven’t seen me na nag-brag or nag-celebrate na meron ako maraming merits or ito reporting ko mas madami sa inyo. Ngayun ko lang pinakita ang latest reporting history para makita ng mga Filipino na kinaya niya nga maging 66k reports at the same time magkaroon ng maraming merits, tayo pa kaya na dito tayo kumikita? I just want to see or maging part nang forum na ito for a long time, nakikita ko na ito na ang future natin, cryptocurrency na or bitcoin na ang tatanggapin nating currency. Kung mawawala ang forum na ito paano na ang next generation natin, hindi na nila makikita ang makasaysayang bitcointalk forum na founded by satoshi himself. Let us start our second phase.

Just seen this post My account has been banned.... and noticed that plagiarism has now 30days and signature banned for 2 years duration (not sure if this is newly implemented). Is this only applicable to current plagiarism case? What about users who are banned more than 30days? Will this help our forum on addressing plagiarism case (talking about newbies and old shitposters copy and paste case)?

Economy / Scam Accusations / Be Aware of those Dodgy Exchanges Support telegram account.

on: February 18, 2019, 02:50:52 PM

This just happened to me on telegram. Exchange support asking for deposit to earn bonus. This is to inform all to be vigilant, specially those exchanges support account on telegram. Upon knowing such dodgy scheme, I immediately message Kajetan Mackowiak (Coindeal.com Founder) to confirm if the said account is one of their employee. Scammers used fake exchange support telegram account as they know that people trust them on handling issues with regards to exchanges. Without awareness, exchange users can easily be manipulated by fake exchange support account. Instructing them to do something is easy, users want their problems to be solved immediately, so, they will do anything as instructed. Be aware – I am vigilant.

Other / Beginners & Help / Meet Than and Then

on: February 11, 2019, 03:40:27 PM

Sorry, not a then DT1 member or greater than new DT1 member(s) topic. I have noticed some members who actually have some enough merits misusing than and then. They used then when in fact they meant than when opening a topic or replying to a topic. I’m not a major in English professor and not my native language, but, I hope this topic will help newbies and other members to make some improvement regarding these two commonly confused words, especially when instructing or opening a topic that is worth reading. Searched bitcointalk about this kind of topic, didn't find any. If there are already topic like this, kindly link it here to be added. Than and then There's nothing more embarrassing then correcting someone's language only to realize that your correction contains its own error. Did you see it? That harmless little four-letter word then. It should have been than. That’s one example when using than and then. Then has two meanings. 1. Then usually refers to time, meaning "at that time." Example of then meaning "at that time" 2. Then can also be used as a transition to mean "in that case" or "therefore." Example of then meaning "in that case" or "therefore" Than is used only when comparing items. (Then is never used in comparisons.) Examples of than used to compare items • Expect it to take a little longer than usual for Electrum to be ready. (Correct) • Expect it to take a little longer then usual for Electrum to be ready. (Wrong) • I don't think it will be less than hundred. (Correct) • I don't think it will be less then hundred. (Wrong) • I would rather eat than sleep. (Correct) • I would rather eat then sleep. (Wrong) So when did this pair get so confusing? Turns out they've always been that way. Linguistically speaking, they're identical twins. In Middle English, they were the same word; both spellings were used for all the various meanings. It's been a few hundred years, however, since English has treated them as distinct, which means we have to too. We could go back to Middle English, but we think that would be harder then—um, that is, harder than—mastering these. TIPS: Apart from thinking about the meanings of than and then, another way to get the spelling right is to remember that then is like when: both are spelled with an ‘e’ and both are used to talk about time (which ends with an ‘e’). Than is used to make comparisons. Both than and comparison have a letter “A” in them. Summary These two words are very close in their appearance, but than vs. then have very different uses. Then is commonly used to express a sense of time or what comes next or used to be. Than is used to form comparisons between two things.

Local / Pilipinas / Paano gumagana ang isang double spend 51% attack? Paliwanag at mga halimbawa.

on: September 27, 2018, 09:01:08 AM

Paano gumagana ang isang double spend 51% attack? Marami sa atin dito ang naka-experienced nito sa mga exchanges, lalo na pag magdedeposit kayo at magbebenta ng token niyo para gawing BTC. Itong topic na ito ay makakatulong sa inyo upang maintindihan kung anu nga ba ang double spend 51% attack. Si BTCurious ay ipinaliwanag ito nang maganda sa ibabang pangungusap: Quote from: BTCurious on November 20, 2011, 06:23:33 PM Kung mayroon akong 51%, maaari kong i-mine ang chain ng mga blocks kung saan inililipat ko ang lahat ng aking mga coins sa aking personal na wallet. Gusto ko i-mine ang chain na ito nang 10 long, ngunit hindi sabihin sa iba pang mga network. Kasabay nito, ini-convert ko ang lahat ng aking coins sa dolyar sa exchange at i-withdraw ang mga ito. Nangyayari ito sa normal na blockchain. Pagkatapos ng pag-withdraw ng aking transactions, ang normal blockchain ay nasa 9 long lamang, habang ang aking blockchain ay 10 long. Ipinahayag ko ang lahat ng aking mga blocks sa network, at pinatutunayan ng network na ako ay tama. Ngunit hindi mababalik ang dolyar! Kaya ang exchange ay magkakaroon ng loss. Quote Monacoin, bitcoin gold, zencash, verge and now, litecoin cash. Hindi bababa sa limang mga cryptocurrency na kamakailan ay na-hit na may isang atake na ginamit upang maging mas pantheory kaysa sa aktuwal na, lahat sa nakaraang buwan. Sa bawat kaso, ang mga attackers ay nakapagtipon ng sapat na kapangyarihan sa computing upang ikompromiso ang mga mas maliit na mga network, muling ayusin ang kanilang mga transaksyon at abscond sa milyun-milyong dolyar sa isang pagsisikap na marahil ang crypto katumbas ng isang bank heist. Gayunman, higit pang kamangha-mangha ay maaaring ang tinatawag na 51% na pag-atake ay isang kilala at mapanganib na cryptocurrency attack vector. https://www.coindesk.com/blockchains-feared-51-attack-now-becoming-regular/ Ito ang mas malawak na paliwanag: Kapag ang isang tao ay kumokontrol ng higit sa 51% ng power ng pagmimina sa isang coin network maaari nilang kontrolin ang konsensus. Ang attacker ay magrerenta (Miningrigrentals.com o Hashnest.com) o gumamit ng isang botnet upang makakuha ng maraming hashpower. Halimbawa kung ang mainnet ay may 25 Gh ng hashpower isang 51% na pag-atake ay maaaring gawin sa 25.5 Gh ng inuupahang power ng pagmimina. Na kung saan ay madali at hindi masyadong mahal. Paano gumagana ang pag-atake: Gamit ang isang lihim na pool gumawa sila ng isang pribadong chain na mas mahaba kaysa sa pampublikong chain. Halimbawa: Sabihin magsimula sila sa block 100 000 Sila ay magtatayo ng mas mahabang pribadong chain kaysa sa pampublikong chain. Ang pribadong chain ay may mas maraming hashpower kaya makakahanap ng mga block nang mas mabilis. Ang pribadong chain ay maaaring nakatagpo ng 10 blocks habang ang pampublikong chain ay natagpuan lamang na siyam (9) sa panahong iyon. Ang Double-Spend Sa sandaling simulan nila ang kanilang pribadong chain pupumunta sila sa isang Exchange o merchant at gumawa ng isang malaking deposito. Paggamit ng 10,000 GLD bilang isang halimbawa. Ito ang mga broadcast sa public blockchain sa block 100,001. Ngunit hindi nila i-broadcast ang transaksyong iyon sa kanilang pribadong chain, tanging ang pampublikong chain lang ang broadcast nila. Sa kanilang pribadong chain gumawa sila ng isang transaksyon na nagpapadala ng mga parehong 10,000 GLD sa ibang address ng wallet sa block 100,001. Ito ang bahagi ng "double spend" - ginugugol nila ang parehong GLD nang dalawang beses. Paano sila kumikita Nakikita ng exchange ang 10,000 deposito ng GLD sa pampublikong chain at pagkatapos ng 6 na mga blocks ng mga kumpirmasyon na tinatanggap nito at ang balanse ay inililipat sa exchange ledger - ginagawa itong available para matrade Ang mga pondo ay ngayon ligtas sa exchange wallet - tama ba? Dahil ang network ng coins ay nakumpirma na sila ay naroroon at available na. Lumilitaw sa block explorer bilang isang tamang transaksyon. Pagkatapos ay sinasalakay ng attacker ang 10,000 GLD para sa Bitcoin sa mga presyo ng merkado at agad na inalis ang Bitcoin. Ang exchange ay sumang-ayon (approved) sa Bitcoin withdrawal at ang attacker ay mayroon na ngayong mga nalikom sa BTC. Sa ngayon, kami ay nasa block 100,008 o 100,009. Sa lalong madaling panahon na ang BTC ay lumabas ng exchange - aalisin ng attacker ang kanilang mahabang pribadong chain ng 10 blocks, na ibinabahagi ito sa pampublikong network. Ang kanilang mas mahabang pribadong chain ay pampubliko na ngayon. Sapagkat ang pribadong network ay may mas mataas na power ng hashing (higit sa 51%) at mas mahaba kaysa sa nakaraang pampublikong chain ito ay tinanggap na ngayon ng pampublikong chain bilang totoong record. Ito ay tinatawag na "Chain Reorganization." Ang 9 na mga blocks na dati sa mainnet ay naulila (orphaned) at ang 10 bagong mga blocks ay inilalagay sa lugar bilang bagong mainnet. Ito ay kung paano malutas ang anumang mga paghihiwalay ng chain sa protocol ng network ng GLD coin. Ang mga coins na tinanggap na origionally ng network sa exchange wallet ay tinanggihan na ngayon bilang hindi wasto sa pamamagitan ng network ng coin. Ngunit ang exchange ay nakapagbigay na ng mga nalikom na pagbebenta ng mga coins (proceeds of the sale) para sa BTC papunta sa attacker - meaning natransfer na nila sa mga hacker ang pera (in BTC). Habang ang kanilang wallet ay may 10,000 GLD ang network ay nagbabawal sa transaksyong iyon at naaprubahan ang pribadong chain bilang "tunay na chain". Ang pangunahing istraktura ay hindi kasama ang orihinal na deposito ng 10,000 GLD sa Exchange pabalik sa orihinal na block 100,001 ngunit isinama nito ang paglilipat ng mga 10,000 GLD sa sariling wallet ng attacker mula sa privately-mined block 100,001. Sa bagong bersyon ng chain ang attacker ay hindi kailanman nagpadala sa mga ito sa exchange ngunit ipinadala nila ang mga ito sa kanilang mga sarili. Kaya ang attacker ay kumuha ng 10,000 GLD halaga ng BTC mula sa exchange, at hindi na nila ibinigay ang 10,000 GLD sa Exchange noong una palang. Maaaring nagbabayad sila ng maraming pera para sa lahat ng hashpower na iyon, ngunit ang GLD na kanilang ninakaw ay nagkakahalaga ng higit pa. Ito ba ay hack? Ang blockchain ay hindi na-hack. Ngunit ang desentralisadong coin node network na nagpapatakbo ng blockchain ay nakuha exploited dahil ang network ay walang sapat na hashrate upang maprotektahan ang mga ito laban sa mga ganitong attack. Noong Mayo, si Bittrex ay biktima ng isang 51% double spend attack sa network ng Bitcoin Gold. Ang mga nag-develop ng Bitcoin Gold ay inaalok lamang sa bahagyang pagpunan ng Bittrex para sa mga pagkalugi at pinili ni Bittrex na alisin ang Bitcoin Gold sa halip. Ang iba pang mga coin na na-target ng 51% attacks ay kadalasang binabayaran ng exchange para sa kanilang pagkalugi. Kung ang isang coin ay may sapat na hashrate upang ma-secure ang kanilang network ay halos imposible na isagawa ang isang 51% attack. Ang ilang mga coin networks ay nag-try sa merged mining o nagpapakilala ng isang hybrid ng POW at POS para maiwasan ang ganitong attack.

Local / Others (Pilipinas) / [Filipino Guide] Ang Bitcointalk Merit System

on: June 25, 2018, 08:33:27 PM

Napapansin ko na maraming mga Filipino ang hindi pa alam ang Forum Merit System, sa pagsisikap na mahikayat ang Filipinong komunidad na maging maayos at maging maganda ang kalidad ng kanilang post na sa tingin ko ay magresulta sa isang mas malinis na Philippines local board, kaya nagpasya akong gumawa nitong guide at lahat ng pwedeng katanungan about sa Merit System. Inaasahan ko na ito ay magiging malaking tulong para sa mga Filipino para madagdagan ang kanilang merit at kaalaman sa mundo ng Bitcoin. Sa tingin ko ito ang mga posibling rason bakit walang sapat na kaalaman ang mga Filipino tungkol sa Merit System:

- Kakulangan ng kaalaman sa mga alituntunin ng forum merit.
- Sapat na Oras.
- Hirap ang iba sa pagbabasa ng English.
- Tamang post lang para makahabol sa limit nang signature campaign.
- Hindi alam ang importansiya ng merit system sa kanilang rank at paglaki ng kita.

Umaasa ako na ang topic na ito ay tutulong sa mga Filipino forumer. Bukod dito, ang mga nagmamalasakit sa Forum ay umaasa ako na ang ibinigay na impormasyon sa thread ay magresulta sa isang malinis na Philippines local board.

Disclaimer: Bawal ang hindi constructive na reply dito, ang lahat na sa tingin ko ay isang shitpost reply ay i-dedelete

** nagpapakita ng pinakamababang average na merit na kinakailangan bawat buwan upang tumaas ang ranggo sa pinakamababang oras o panahon.

Activity
Paano kinakalkula ang aktibidad ng forum?
Kinakalkula ang aktibidad sa pamamagitan nang formula:

Code:

activity = min(time * 14, posts)

Ang aktibidad ay tumaas sa pamamagitan ng pagpapanatiling naka-log in o sa pag-post at ina-update tuwing tatlumpung minuto. Mayroong maximum na 14 na aktibidad na puntos bawat dalawang linggo.

Merit
1. Makakakuha ka ng mga merito point kapag may nagbigay sa iyo ng ilan para sa isa sa iyong mga post. Bukod pa rito, kapag may nagbigay sa iyo ng mga merito point, kalahati ng mga puntos na ito ay maaaring ipadala mo sa ibang tao.

2. Ang ilang mga forum users ay itinalaga bilang "merit sources". Maaari silang lumikha ng bagong merito mula sa wala, hanggang sa isang limitadong bilang bawat buwan (na naiiba sa bawat pinagmulan). Hindi ilalabas ang mga pangalan ng merit sources (upang ang mga tao ay hindi masyadong mangulit sa kanila), bagaman malalaman mo sa lalong madaling panahon kung sino sila kung maging mapagmatyag ka lang.

3. Sa kasalukuyan ay walang ganoong bagay bilang "demerit". Pwedeng idagdag ang demerit kung kinakailangan itong ipatupad.

4. Para sa kasalukuyang mga miyembro, ang inyong unang marka ng merito ay katumbas ng minimum na kinakailangan sa iyong ranggo. Ang isang tiyak na halaga (mas mababa kaysa sa karaniwang kalahati) ay maaaring ibigay sa ibang tao. Ang halaga ng spendable merit ay kinakalkula batay sa iyong kasalukuyang ranggo at ang bilang ng mga puntong aktibidad na kinita mo noong nakaraang taon. Ang isang Legendary na miyembro na hindi naka-post sa nakaraang taon ay magiging Legendary, ngunit hindi magkakaroon ng anumang spendable merit.

5. Kung ang isang tao ay nagpadala sa iyo ng 1 merito, ang 0.5 sMerit ay hindi nasayang; hindi lamang ito ipinapakita hanggang makakuha ka ng isa pang merito point.

6. Makakahanap ka ng buod ng isang tao sa pamamagitan ng pag-click sa link na "Merit" sa kanilang profile.

Paano mag-aplay bilang Merit Source

1.   Maging isang established na miyembro.

2.   Mangolekta ng SAMPUNG mga post na nakasulat sa huling ilang buwan ng iba pang mga tao na hindi nakatanggap ng halos sapat na merito para sa kung gaano kahusay ang kalidad ng kanilang ginawa, at mag-post ng mga quote para sa lahat ng ito sa isang bagong Meta thread. Ang punto nito ay upang ipakita ang iyong kakayahang magbigay ng karapat-dapat na merito.

3.   Titingnan ang iyong kasaysayan at baka pwede kang gawin na isang merit source.

Lalong nagnanais na magkaroon ng mga merit source sa mga sub-komunidad tulad ng mga lokal na seksyon o local board.

Merit stats

•   Recent merits. Dito mo makikita ang mga kasalukuyan o bagong galaw ng merit. Kung sinu at ilan ang binigay nilang merit sa isang tao at kung anung topic na iyon.

•   Top-merited recent topics. Dito mo naman makikita ang kasalukuyan o bagong top-merited na paksa. Tumatagal lamang ito ng isang buwan simula ng pagkagawa sa isang topic.

•   Top-merited topics, all-time. Makikita mo dito ang pinakamataas na mga paksa, all-time, kung baga ito yung all time na paborito na paksa. Wala pang tagalog na Paksa ang nakakapasok sa level na ito, pero meron nang topic na ang Author ay isang Pinoy ang pasok sa level na ito.

•   Top-merited recent replies. Makikita mo naman dito ang kasalukuyan o bagong top merited replies at kung anu ang sagot nila sa isang paksa bakit sila na bigyan ng ganung karaming merit.

Ito yung mga merit na kung saan ang bilang ng merit ay magsisimula noong ipinatupad na ang Merit System hindi kasama ang minimum requirements na free nung unang mga member. Kung ang merit ay equal sa profile ng isang user ang ibig sabihin nun nagsimula siya sa zero, wala siyang libreng merit na nakuha.

•   Merit sources. Mayroong 83 merit sources na may kabuuang husay na hanggang sa 19100 sMerit bawat 30 days.

Paraan para makakuha ng Merit

1.   Pagbutihin ang iyong wikang Ingles, ito ay hindi lamang spelling at grammar, ito ay kasama ang paggamit ng mga salita tulad ng Sir at Mr, bilang Filipino ito ay tanda ng paggalang natin sa ibang tao lalo na pag hindi natin kilala, ngunit sa ibang lahi dito sa forum ay ayaw nila tawagin ng ganito at gusto nila pantay pantay ang turingan sa forum na ito.

2.   Gumugol ng oras na mag-improve ang iyong Written English, magsimula sa youtube, mayroong higit sa 3002 iba't ibang mga video tungkol sa pagsusulat ng Wikang Ingles.

3.   Gumawa ng isang watchlist para sa mga boards o mga posts na gusto mo, at bisitahin ang mga ito ng madalas para makakuha ng idea at matuto.

4.   Magbasa ng ilang mga aklat sa wikang Ingles, maaari mong i-download ang libreng Ebook bilang isang starter, tingnan kung paano ang mga pangungusap ay nakabalangkas na karaniwang mga salita atbp.

5.   Maghanap ng mga paksa na may ilang mga reply. Ang ilang mga katanungan at mga paksa na nilikha ay talagang madali lang sagutin. Ngunit kung gusto mo maaari kang magbigay ng mahusay na mga sagot sa mga tanong na iyon! Maaari ka ring matuto habang sumasagot sa isang madaling tanong.

6.   Tandaan na ang kalidad ng post ay hindi kinakailangang isang mahabang post, gamit ang mga salita na nagpapaalala sa iyo tulad ng iyong kinain ng isang buong thesauras ay hindi makakatulong sayo para makadami ng merit. Kahit kaunti lang ang reply mo at nasa punto pwede ka makakuha ng merit, maliban na lng kung gumagawa ka ng isang guide tulad nito.

7.   Basahin din ang mga panuntunan sa forum, NO spoon-feeding dapat matuto kang magresearch at ito ang magbibigay sa iyo ng maraming kaalaman. Kailangan mong matutunan na gamitin at pindutin ang search button, sa sandaling napagkadalubhasaan mo ang pag-andar ng forum search button, magagawa mong suriin kung ang iyong paksa ay nai-post na dati pa.

8.   Ugaliing magcheck ng mga profile ng mga members, lalo na yung mga merong matataas na merit at kumuha ng idea sa kanila. Kung magbibigay ka naman ng merit dapat dun lang din sa mga quality poster para maingganyo naman sila na gumawa pa ng madaming magagandang post at magiging rewards to sa kanila lalo na ang mga newbie. Naging newbie din ako tulad ninyo na merong zero merit, kayang kaya niyo yan.

9.   Huwag over quote, kung gagamitin mo ang quote para sa isang topic or reply dapat yung specific na gusto mo lang sagutin at bigyan nang punto/idea. Bigyan mo nang halaga/respect ang reply/comment mo at mga taong nagbabasa ng replies, kung puro quote lang nakikita nila nawawalan sila nang gana magbasa at mostly nilalagay ka sa ignore list ng mga members na meroong merit. Isang dahilan ito kaya hindi nakakakuha ang ibang members ng merit kasi nasa ignore list na sila. Isang sample ng tamang pag quote: Quote

Additional tools

•   Grammarly add-on for Firefox (mayroong isang bersyon para sa sneaking Google Chrome browser) – Ang add-on na ito ay maganda. Ito ay mas mahusay kaysa sa browser native diksyunaryo, dahil ito ay gumawa ng mahusay na mga mungkahi na lampas sa spelling mistakes. Ang pangunahing problema sa add-on na ito ay ang buong bersyon ay hindi libre.

•   Pro Writing Aid . Libreng bersyon ng Grammar ay medyo basic, at ang bersyon na ito ay mas kumpleto. Ang nakakabagabag ay kailangan mong ilagay ang iyong post sa website na iyon, gawin ang mga pagwawasto, at i-paste muli ito sa bitcointalk.

•   Microsoft Word. Ang salita ng Microsoft ay mas mahusay kaysa sa native diksyunaryo ng browser, dahil gagawin nito ang mga pagwawasto na lampas sa pagbabaybay.

•   Google Translator. Ito ay simple at madaling gamitin kung nahihirapan ka intindihin ang isang statement sa English.

•   Duolingo May ilang bagay para sa maraming wika. Kung ang wika ng isang tao ay wala doon, dapat na gawin nila ang isang simpleng paghahanap sa Google.

•   Bitcointalk Merit Dashboard. Useful tools para makita ang buong overview ng merit system na ginawa ng aking kaibigan na si DdmrDdmr.

Pagbigay ng Merit

i-Click lamang ang +Merit sa gusto mong bigyan na paksa or reply ng isang tao. Walang tinatawag na standard para sa isang merit kasi nagdedepende ito sa mood ng isang tao at sa kung sinu ang meroong hawak nito, pero dapat kalidad ang paksa o reply na bibigyan mo.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Ano ang Merit?
Ang Merit ay isang bagong sistema na nilikha upang gantimpalaan ang mga kontribusyon na kalidad sa forum. Ngayon, upang tumaas sa pamamagitan ng mga ranggo ay kailangan mo ring makakuha ng Merit bilang karagdagan sa Aktibidad.

How do I receive merit?
Ikaw ay iginawad ng merito ng mga tao ng komunidad kung nakita nila ang iyong post na kapaki-pakinabang o nagbibigay-kaalaman.

Ano ang pagkakaiba ng Merit at sMerit?
Mayroong dalawang uri ng Merit. Hindi mo maipadala ang iyong mga merito, sMerit lang. Para sa bawat Merit na natanggap mo ay magkakaroon ka ng 0.5 sendable merit. Ang merit ay hindi pwedeng ipamigay, ang sMerit ang pwedeng gamitin para mabigay sa isang Quality Poster.

Pwede ba ako manghingi nang merit?
Hindi na kailangang gawin ito at ang pag-uugali na ito ay karaniwang makikita bilang “merit begging” na kung saan ayaw ng bitcointalk community at maaaring humantong sa iyong pagtanggap ng mga negatibong feedback. Patuloy na gumawa ng kalidad, nakabubuti na mga post at tiyak na gagantimpalaan ka sa paglipas ng panahon.

Pwede ko bang ibenta ang merit?
Hindi pinayagan ang pagbebenta ng merito.

Pwede ko bang bigyan ang aking alt accounts?
No, ito ay ayaw ng kumonidad at tiyak na humantong sa iyong pagtanggap ng mga negatibong feedback kung natuklasan.

Mayroon bang limitasyon ang pagbibigay ko ng merit?
Oo. Maaari kang magbigay ng max na 50 na merito sa isang member tuwing 30 days.

Kahalagahan ng Merit

1. Requirements ito sa pagrank up mo dito sa bitcointalk forum.

2. Pinipilit ang mga tao na mag-post ng mga de-kalidad na bagay upang mag-ranggo. Kung mag-post ka lamang ng basura, hindi ka makakakuha ng kahit na 1 merit point, at hindi ka na magagawang maglagay ng mga link sa iyong signature, atbp.

3. Para linisin ang bitcointalk forum sa mga shitposter and spammer.

4. Matuto ang mga tao na maging constructive forum user at tumulong sa mga tao lalo na ang mga baguhan sa forum na ito.

Makikita ang mga post na merong merit sa pamamagitan ng "Merited by".

on: June 05, 2018, 07:02:44 PM

Ang mga scammer ay dumarami na - makikita mo ba ang pagkakaiba sa dalawa? https://www.cryptopia.co.nz at https://www.cryptopía.co.nz Mag-click sa mga ito at makikita mo ang pagkakaiba. Ang ilang mga exchanges ay walang app ng telepono - MOST advertised apps ay mga pandaraya Maging lubhang maingat sa pag-click sa mga link mula sa mga search engine - ang mga tanyag na search engine tulad ng Google at Bing ay may mga site ng scam na nakalista. Karamihan sa mga palitan ay walang numero ng suporta sa telepono - ang mga numero ng telepono na na-advertise sa mga site ng third party o mga forum ay karaniwang mga pandaraya Ang mga opisyal na Twitter account ay madalas na spoofed - Tiyaking ang Twitter account ay TUNAY at hindi isang scammers CLONE. Ang mga pagkakaiba ay kadalasang napakalinaw. Ang Cryptopia ay WALANG 2FA sa pamamagitan ng SMS - ito ay isang scam Karamihan ng exchanges ay gamit ang kanilang email na nakarehistrong domain - anumang bagay ay isang scam. Ang BinanceSupport@gmail.com ay hindi tunay. Tiyakin din na ang email ay hindi spoofed - maaaring mukhang tunay ang nagpadala nito. Huwag mag-click sa mga link sa mga email. Ang mga BOT ay mahusay ngunit nagdadala din ng panganib - Kung gumamit ka ng BOT maaari kang makakuha ng scammed. Ang mga libreng BOT ay madalas na isang scam. HINDI hihilingin ng Exchange staff na kunin ang iyong password o 2FA - pagbinigay mo ito sa isang tao paniguradong scam yan. Ang LIGTAS na paraan upang malutas ang isang isyu sa support ay sa pamamagitan ng tiket ng support sa site na mayroon kang problema. Ang tulong sa social media at forum ay hindi ma-verify nang ligtas. - Hindi mo alam kung sigurado kung sila ay kawani o isang scammer. Ang mga social media account ay na-hack at pekeng mga account ay na-verify sa pamamagitan ng twitter. Kailangan ng mga tao na kumuha ng higit pang mga pag-iingat sa seguridad: 1. Gumamit ng google Authenticator o alternatibong DYNAMIC 2FA. Gumamit ng isang email account na may 2FA pinagana at ginamit ang pinakamataas na setting ng seguridad na hindi ginagamit para sa anumang bagay bukod sa exchanges. (gmail o protonmail) 2. Huwag gumamit ng apps sa iyong telepono kung ginagamit mo ang iyong telepono para sa Crypto o ang crypto email. Tinatarget ng mga scam apps ang mga gumagamit ng crypto. Maaaring ikompromiso ng iba pang apps sa iyong telepono ang seguridad nito. 3. Wala kang mga crypto wallet sa computer na iyong ginagamit para sa access ng iyong exchange account. Mag-ingat: Ang ilang mga personal na wallet ng coin ay naglalaman ng mga virus at keystroke logger na maaaring magnakaw ng impormasyon mula sa iyong computer. 4. Magkaroon ng isang firewall, anti virus at anti malware mula sa isang kagalang-galang na provider. 5. Huwag mag-click sa mga link mula sa mga search engine o iba pang mga site upang pumunta sa iyong exchange. Palaging suriin ang sertipiko ng seguridad ng site. 6. Huwag gumamit ng mga bot maliban kung ikaw ay 100% tiyak na ang bot ay ligtas. Limitahan ang pag-access ng bot sa iyong mga pondo sa pamamagitan ng pagkakaroon ng maramihang mga account. Karamihan sa mga na-advertise na bot ay mga pandaraya at nakawin ang iyong crypto. Tanging kumuha ka ng iyong bot mula sa isang sikat na vendor. 7. Iwasan ang WiFi - pampublikong wifi at hindi secure na WiFi ay hindi ligtas. Lahat ng WiFi ay vulnerable. 8. Huwag maki-log sa mga computer na hindi mo pagmamay-ari o may ganap na kontrol. 9. HUWAG kailanman ibigay ang iyong password o 2FA sa ibang tao. 10.Gumamit ng iba't ibang mga email address at iba't ibang mga password para sa iba't ibang mga exchanges. Ang mga scammer ay gumagamit na ng DODGY ng mga sertipiko ng seguridad. Tiyaking ang sertipiko ng seguridad ay mula sa tamang certifier. TROJAN ALERT: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/evrial-trojan-switches-bitcoin-addresses-copied-to-windows-clipboard/ ay isang virus na trojan na nagbabago ng anumang cryptocurrency address na nasa iyong clipboard sa ibang address - Laging mag-ingat upang matiyak na ang address na ipinasok ay ang iyong binabalak na ipadala. Ang paggamit ng pin para sa 2FA ay hindi inirerekomenda. Madali para sa isang hacker na gumamit ng keystroke logger sa iyong computer upang makakuha ng access sa iyong password at pincode. Ang ilang mga bagong coin wallet ay merong mga keystroke at mga virus na kasabay. Para sa kadahilanang ito hindi ka dapat magkaroon ng mga coin wallets sa computer na iyong ginagamit upang ma-access ang isang exchange. Ang isang exchange ay walang paraan ng pagtukoy ng isang magnanakaw kung gumagamit sila ng mga kredensyal sa logon. Ito ay tulad ng kapag ang iyong bank card AT PIN ay ninakaw - ang ATM o bank ay walang kasalanan. Kung bibisitahin mo ang isang site ng scam na mukhang iyong exchange binibigyan mo ang scammer ng iyong email address, password at 2FA, ito ay hindi pag-hack - ang tawag dito ay phishing. Ang exchange ay walang paraan ng pag-alam na ang isang scammer ay may alam ng lahat ng iyong VALID login cerdentials dahil hindi mo sinasadyang ibinigay ito sa kanila. Para sa kadahilanang ito dapat kang kumuha ng matinding pag-aalaga sa pagpapanatili ng iyong mga kredensyal sa logon na ligtas. Para sa dagdag na seguridad gumamit ng isang natatanging email address na ginagamit mo lamang para sa isang exchange. Magkaroon ng 2FA na naka-enable din sa mga email address na iyon. Ang SMS reset o SMS para sa 2FA ay hindi partikular na ligtas. https://haveibeenpwned.com/ -Maaari mong i-check dito kung ang iyong email address ay naka-kompromiso sa mga na unang hack Sa kasamaang palad kung ang iyong account ay na-phished, ang mga scammers ay aalisin ang mga pondo sa loob lamang ilang minuto. (Maliban kung ang iyong limitasyon sa pag-withdraw ay humahadlang sa kanila sa paggawa nito). Ang lahat ng pag-atake sa phishing ay dapat iulat sa pulisya. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/metamask/nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn Ang Metamask chrome (available din para sa firefox) maaaring balaan ka tungkol sa mga site ng phishing. IMPORTANT: Kung ang iyong email ay na-hack o ikaw ay na-phished mangyaring gumawa ng tiket sa support kaagad. Baguhin ang iyong password at 2FA kaagad sa iyong exchange account AT baguhin ang email address na iyong ginagamit para sa exchange.

Other / Serious discussion / Anonymity

on: May 12, 2018, 10:17:50 AM

Bitcoin known as anonymity, but there are a lot to talk about being anonymous, a harmless and safe technique of creating & receiving payments without compromising your identity and your activities (lawful, illegal &/or illicit). We believe that bitcoin is anonymous, but if you check back in history like the "Silk Road" and latest articles about its anonymity, you tend to question things surrounding its “anonymity”. Some articles that are worthy of reading: https://theintercept.com/2018/03/20/the-nsa-worked-to-track-down-bitcoin-users-snowden-documents-reveal/ “Though the documents leaked by Snowden do not address whether the NSA aided the FBI’s Silk Road investigation, they show the agency working to unmask bitcoin users about six months before Ulbricht was arrested, and that it had worked to monitor Liberty Reserve around the same time. The source of the bitcoin and Liberty Reserve monitoring, MONKEYROCKET, is governed by an overseas surveillance authority known as Executive Order 12333, the language of which is believed to give U.S. law enforcement agencies wide latitude to use the intelligence when investigating U.S. citizens.” https://www.cyberscoop.com/bitcoin-tracking-zcash-monero-cryptocurrency/ https://rroyselaw.com/technology-transactions/cryptocurrency/time-to-hide-your-bitcoin-wallet-how-the-irs-is-tracking-your-virtual-currency/ https://siliconangle.com/hacking-team-found-a-way-to-track-and-trace-bitcoin-transactions-and-the-software-is-now-in-the-wild/ https://www.techspot.com/news/74246-amazon-granted-patent-tracking-bitcoin-transactions-selling-data.html https://www.ccn.com/researchers-unmask-anonymous-tor-users-tracking-bitcoin-transactions/ https://news.bitcoin.com/irs-crackdown-tracking-bitcoiners-with-chainalysis/ "The IRS will no longer target a wide-range of Coinbase users via its information request, which it filed on Coinbase back in March. Instead, the agency made concessions to seek account data of individuals who transacted — meaning they bought, sold, sent, or received — $20,000 worth of bitcoin in any transaction type." Actual contract between the IRS and Chainalysis: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3935924-IRS-Chainalysis-Contract.html As specified, that all bitcoin sales & purchased amounting to $20,000 or above, are reported to the government and all details involve are shared. The ownership of Bitcoin is not actually the problem here, spending them is. Buying for products/goods, have transported or exchange them, we can easily be track & identify. Let's say these are true (for discussion purposes) & bitcoin is less anonymous, which is different from we believe in. How can we decline the chances of being recognize as holder & increase our security? Sample, I have 150BTC which is equivalent to $1.2M as of the moment & I would love to convert it to fiat money, what are the methods I can do to be safe and anonymous? I think that exchanges/mixing will not answer these. If I sold it to a person via hard wallet, with large BTC in it, it will not help. When the FBI or any government institution seizes that person, he/she will just cooperate and tell the details of your transactions: the place of transactions, security cameras, describing your face, and parking lot cameras can captured your license plate or any form that is relevant to capture your identity. Your thoughts on protecting your anonymity using bitcoin?

Local / Others (Pilipinas) / [Bitcointalk] Dagdag kaalaman sa mundo ng Bitcoin

on: May 08, 2018, 07:34:18 PM

Since dumadami na tayo dito sa Bitcointalk, ibibigay ko sa inyo ang mga historical na post at mga maalamat na tao dito sa forum. Una[#1]: Satoshi Nakamoto's bitcointalk profile Bago siya naging anonymous, siya ay andito sa forum na ito at nakipag-ugnayan sa mga tao bilang isang mortal/ordinaryong tao lamang. Maaari mo ring basahin ang kasaysayan ng kanyang mga mensahe, ang huling beses na siya ay nasa forum noong Disyembre 13, 2010. Pangalawa[#2]:HODL Ito ay hindi isang profile, ngunit ang paksa sa forum, kung ikaw ay interesado sa kung saan nagmula HODL, ito ang source, Ang karaniwan na sitwasyon, hinawakan ng isang lalaki ang wiski at gumawa ng isang typo na salita sa post, nagpapaliwanag ng mga pakinabang ng HOLDING bago ang pagsimula ng daily trading niya. Lasing lang si dre. Pangatlo[#3]:pirateat40 Maraming nakaka-alam na si Satoshi ay may 1,000,000bitcoins sa kanyang wallet, na kung saan ay hindi pa gumagalaw, ngunit may isang miyembro ng forum na nagkaroon ng 500,000bitcoins, ito ay "pirateat40", ngunit ang pera na ito ay hindi sa kanya, tulad ng alam ko siya organisado Ponzi pamamaraan, nagkolekta bitcoins, at pagkatapos ay ligtas na nawala, iniwan niya lamang ang kanyang profile. Sa panahon na iyon, ang mga pagsusuri ng bitcoin ay humigit-kumulang sa $ 5 milyon, ang SEC (Ang U.S Securities and Exchange Commission) ay naghahanap para dito ngunit sa hindi mapakinabangan, ang mga bitcoins ay napalampas sa mga site ng mga mixer. Sa pamamagitan ng paraan, "A Pirate Looks At Forty" ay isang kanta na ginanap by Jimmy Buffett. Ang kanyang pangalan ay Trendon Shavers, siya ay nasentensiyahan sa isa-at-kalahating taon sa bilangguan. Ngayon sinusuportahan niya ang kanyang sarili bilang isang cook. Sinabi ng mga taga-usig mula 2011 hanggang 2012, ang mga Shaver, na nagtataas ng hindi bababa sa 764,000 bitcoin, na sa panahong iyon ay nagkakahalaga ng higit sa $ 4.5 milyon. Grabe ito isa-at-kalahating taon lang ang sentensiya niya samantalang si Ross ng Silk Road ay panghabangbuhay. Pang-apat[#4]:Hal Finney’s post. Narito ang isa pang kawili-wiling post na ginawa ni Hal Finney, kung saan sinabi niya ang kanyang kuwento, ang taong ito ay kabilang sa mga unang nagsimula na suportahan ang network ng bitcoin, malamang na ikalawa matapos si Satoshi, habang sinasabing nagsimula siyang gawin ito mula sa ika-70 na block, kadalasan nauugnay sa tagalikha ng bitcoin, karamihan sa mga sulat ay tungkol sa mga bug, mabilis na inalis ni Satoshi ang mga ito, natanggap din niya ang unang transaksyong pagsubok ni Satoshi ng 10 BTC, pinananatili lamang ni Hal Finney ang network sa loob ng ilang araw, ngunit pagkatapos ay napagod siya ng processor overheating, at ang mas cooler na ingay, kaya't pinatay niya ito. Pagkatapos ng 2010, narinig niya ang tungkol sa bitcoin muli, at nagulat sa halaga nito. Sa kasamaang palad, si Hal Finney ay may sakit na wala nang lunas. Nagpasiya siyang i-freeze ang kanyang katawan sa Cryopreservation, sa isang pagkakataon nang nawala siya ng pagkakataong makipag-usap sa iba. Sa legal, siya ay idineklarang patay. Nagsimula siyang gumastos ng bitcoin sa oras na ang presyo nito ay umabot sa $ 100, ngunit hindi nagbebenta ng lahat, ipinagkatiwala niya sa kanyang anak ang mga naiwan. Pang-lima[#5]:Two pizzas post Marahil ang pinakasikat na kuwento ay ang tungkol sa pagbili ng dalawang pizzas para sa bitcoins, noong 2010 isang lalaki na may isang palayaw sa forum na "laszlo" ay nag-aalok ng 10,000 bitcoins sa isang taong mag-aatas sa kanya ng dalawang pizzas. Kinabukasan, tumugon ang user na "jercos" at iniutos sa kanya ang dalawang pizzas, kung saan natanggap niya ang ipinangakong 10,000BTC sa kanyang wallet. Sa anumang kaso, hindi ko ito tatawaging isang ganap na tangang pagbili, yamang sa panahong iyon ang 10,000 bitcoins ay nagkakahalaga ng humigit-kumulang na $41. Ito nga pala ang transaction ng 10,000 BTC: https://blockchain.info/tx/a1075db55d416d3ca199f55b6084e2115b9345e16c5cf302fc80e9d5fbf5d48d Pang-anim[#6]:TradeFortress The user with the lowest rating Ang TradeFortress ay lumikha ng isang libreng online na bitcoin wallet (Inputs.io), ang wallet na ito ay na-hack, 4000 bitcoins ay ninakaw noong Oktubre 24 ng 2013, ang TradeFortress ay walang mga bitcoin na nakaimbak sa isang cold wallet.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / The Silk Road seized and the downfall of Mt.Gox

on: May 02, 2018, 07:20:05 PM

The Silk Road seized and the downfall of Mt.Gox Silk Road is the first modern darknet market. Derived from a historical network of trade routes, which started during the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD) between Europe, India, China, and countries on the Afro-Eurasian landmass. Started in February 2011, a booming online marketplace, and founded by Ross Ulbricht, a darknet market operator, known alias “Dread Pirate Roberts”. Ross as some article say American former drug trafficker, some people say he is a visionary who wants anonymity, maximize political freedom and independence, emphasizing freedom of choice, voluntary association, and individual judgment; they believe in every individual rights. He also has some business failures before Silk Road. It produced millions of dollars in revenue, secret was simple: ensuring the anonymity of its buyers and sellers. You can access it through Tor, software that renders anonymous on the internet and as a tool for uncensored communication to Internet users. Primarily, buyers could register free, but there were a limited number of new seller accounts available; new sellers had to purchase an account thru an auction. Later, a fixed fee for each new seller account to mitigate the possibility of malicious individuals distributing tainted goods, the site had 10,000 products for sale by vendors[read]. Bitcoin is the primary mode of payment, fiat to bitcoin then btc to Silk Road account, if there is a transaction the buyer’s btc will be escrow; when the buyer confirmed the legitimacy of the purchased, seller’s account will be credited. Despite its highly anonymous features, in October 2013 the U.S. Government shut it down. Intersection between the Bitcoin housed on the site, valued at tens of millions of U.S. dollars, and a key crime-fighting tool: the federal asset forfeiture program. As soon as the United States seized Silk Road, it also, by virtue of technological fiat (and, apparently, some clumsiness on the part of Ulbricht), seized the bitcoins housed therein. This included Ulbricht’s staggering personal bitcoin supply (about 150,000 BTC), accumulated through the healthy commission Silk Road took from all sales, as well as all of the bitcoins held by its many users or housed in the aforementioned escrow accounts (about 30,000 BTC). This meant that if a drug-seeking Silk Road user tried accessing the site after the shutdown, he would, to his likely dismay, be redirected to an FBI-generated shutdown notice. In addition, all of the bitcoins he may have stored on Silk Road would also be gone, seized by the government as part of efforts to forfeit all of the bitcoins held in Silk Road accounts. Short discussion by the federal asset forfeiture program[read]. Silk Road Seize lessons: Ross was just clumsy: agreed to be interviewed by Forbes, under the show of the Dread Pirate Roberts, in the summer of 2013, revealing enough of himself to law enforcement to pierce Silk Road’s veil. As Michael Neilsen suggests, the claim that Bitcoin can be used anonymously—the claim that drove the very formation of Silk Road and other marketplaces that specialize in illegal goods—is a myth. “The block chain is public,” Neilsen argues, and “although Bitcoin addresses aren’t immediately associated with real-world identities, computer scientists have made a great deal of progress figuring out how to de-anonymize ‘anonymous’ social networks. If FBI agents can trace the flow of the Silk Road bitcoins—or, simpler still, exploit civil forfeiture to make such tracing unnecessary—proponents of Bitcoin (particularly those who seek to use Bitcoin to facilitate criminal activity) will be forced to adjust accordingly. By virtue of the blockchain, the backbone of the Bitcoin ecosystem, Bitcoin may never be as anonymous or untraceable as it purports to be. Ironically, as Neilsen aptly suggests, Bitcoin is “perhaps the most open and transparent financial instrument the world has ever seen.” The Silk Road episode stands as evidence that existing legal structures such as asset forfeiture currently have the power to contain Bitcoin. U.S. Marshalls auction off the bitcoins from the Silk Road forfeiture, we are left to question whether this newfangled crypto-currency is any different, from a legal perspective, from an old fashioned pile of cash. MtGox downfall. MtGox was a bitcoin exchange based in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, as the largest bitcoin intermediary and the world's leading bitcoin exchange. MTGox stands for "Magic: The Gathering Online eXchange” founded by Jed McCaleb, now the most controversial figure in cryptocurrency and hated due to its issue with XRP. The exchange handled millions of dollars’ worth of transactions a day, just like a traditional “forex” trading platform. When BTC is sent from one public key address to another (sender used private key), funds cannot be retrieved unless the receiver physically sends the funds back (using own private key). This feature of Bitcoin is the core of its almost-totally protected transaction system, while MtGox’s exchange system avoided this security feature for the sake of accessibility and speed. This arrangement, called a web wallet, is the similar as Silk Road, meaning the private keys is with MTGox, and the only thing keeping MtGox from stealing the funds was, ironically, the prevention of legal action on the basis of contract law or criminal law. It is considered “the worst of both worlds” since it joint the irreversibility of BTC transactions (once you sent your BTC to MtGox, only MtGox could ever send it back to you) with none of the highly developed regulatory protections of the traditional financial services system. Even though users “owned” the BTC they had sent to their MtGox wallets, their claim to ownership was secured only by a simple contract—the user agreement. In early 2014 it dramatic collapse. In February 2014, Mt. Gox suspended trading, closed its website and exchange service, and filed for bankruptcy protection from creditors. In April 2014, the company began liquidation proceedings. The disappearance of more than $400 million worth of bitcoin from MtGox, and its subsequent collapse, many Bitcoin users left with no option other than to trust the traditional legal system for relief. Whether the collapse triggered by hacking or mismanagement, its effect on customers is the same: they are unable to retrieve their funds. Mizuho had been trying to shut down MtGox’s account for months before the collapse, and now that it is theoretically liable for the exchange’s errors, other banks who deal with Bitcoin businesses are proceeding cautiously. Bitcoin’s largest exchange and its customers have become involved in legal actions is clear evidence that the traditional legal system will continue to dominate dispute resolution for Bitcoin users. Like Silk Road case, it proves that current legal tools like asset forfeiture can be adapted to Bitcoin’s supposedly cutting-edge usage, and MtGox case displays that bankruptcy and class actions can be applied to Bitcoin denominated business disputes. Some developers are moving forward with systems based on Ricardian contracts (“smart contracts”) and multi-signature cryptography, application of these technologies would be a peer-to-peer exchange. Bitcoin, in order to continue its challenge to our old financial system, it must cope up with and react to our traditional legal structures; either that or it must progress beyond them. As Bitcoin grows in popularity, so does the law’s interest in being able to reach it just like Silk Road and MT.Gox. Your thoughts?

on: April 30, 2018, 11:15:28 AM

I have done some research regarding bitcoin within my community, and have noticed of many frauds about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. The old “easy money” scheme still catches people’s attention. Lack of information and lack of discipline among community members were the primary problem encountered. The common mindset in terms of bitcoin is “investing without working” you just need to give money to us (so-called traders) to amass your net worth. How bitcoin investment work is not known in the community. Information dissemination of its importance is not properly implemented. Implementation should start with: Community/General Public. Public should start their research first before joining any bitcoin investments. Awareness on how to invest in bitcoin should reflect to economic, social and political as well as community development. Educational Leaders. Leadership effectiveness of school curriculum, university administrators/faculties should include the needs and problems of bitcoin. It is high time to guide faculties in scheduling of daily lessons that will help develop student’s knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Teachers/Professors. Thru curricular offerings together with the applications of knowledge and skills achieve in universities professors promote growth and development of the youth for the improvement of cryptocurrency community life. Proper education will surely help us in building cryptocurrency revolution. Parents. Family is the very foundation of an individual in our community. Most of our members here in bitcointalk are students. Parents are the ones providing the financial needs of the students. They believe that their children will gain enough knowledge and skills to become useful, productive and responsible citizens in the future, so they give support to school programs to meet their expectations. I am sure universities will have enough funds from parents if they implement bitcoin awareness in their curriculum. What about your community? Any suggestions? Your views on this issue.

Other / Off-topic / Who Wants To Prolong Life?

on: April 29, 2018, 05:50:45 AM

I’m a fan on how to prolong life. I want to live forever, but I know my body cannot, only my name will. I always believe that someday science will find a way to prolong life and can stop aging (bitcoin did not excess, look at it now). I am doing so much in life, grinding night and day to live a life that I wanted, and thinking it will soon end is somewhat unsatisfying. News: Scientists keep alive brains of decapitated pigs to prompt ethics debate: A system developed by a Yale University team is leading to suggestions their work could be developed for humans. A team at Yale University have experimented on up to 200 pigs' heads, taken from an abattoir roughly four hours after the animals' slaughter, by connecting them to a system called "BrainEx". Using the system of pumps, heaters and bags of artificial blood, Prof Sestan described how billions of individual cells were found to be healthy and capable of normal activity after circulation was restored to the pigs' brains. Prof Sestan suggested use of the system, dubbed "brain in a bucket", would probably not be unique to pigs and was likely to work in any species, including primates. The study is likely to provoke ethical questions, such as whether the work could be developed further to preserve human brains outside a body - an area explored in sci-fi and horror movies. Prof Sestan said: "People are fascinated. We have to be careful how fascinated." Currently, those hoping to prolong their life after death have resorted to having their bodies cryogenically frozen, in the hope medical science will be able to bring them back to life and cure their conditions at some point in the future. "Hypothetically, somebody takes this technology, makes it better, and restores someone's [brain] activity. "That is restoring a human being. If that person has memory, I would be freaking out completely."

Of course, for our daily needs, have you think about all the things that you have right now. All the hard work will soon go and just stay in these shadows of the earth. How many of you by chance think of living forever? Not only do many of the super-rich want immortality, but a good number of them are doing something about it. The likes of Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, Larry Ellison, Co-founder of Oracle, and investor Peter Thiel are all putting money into ventures that are focused on extending the human life span. A multitude of approaches being taken are aiming for immortality…or, at the very least, a much longer and healthier life. There is the idea of merging artificial intelligence with humans to avert death. By transferring your consciousness into an artificial brain, you will continue to live even though your body is worn out. Cryogenics is being seriously considered. Here they freeze your body and, at a minimum, your head until the field of medicine advances enough to bring you back. Source: Who Wants To Live Forever?

Local / Pilipinas / [It's more fun in the Philippines] Welcome Crypto Economic Zone!

on: April 27, 2018, 06:18:48 PM

Philippines Welcomes Crypto Economic Zone Just WOW News! It's more fun in the Philippines. Welcome Crypto Enthusiast!!! After hemming and hawing in its strange relationship with cryptocurrencies and the businesses they imply, the Philippine government decided to make room for a set aside economic zone. The scheme is offered in hopes of generating more tax income, employment for its people, and perhaps a dedicated crypto university. Philippines Allows Crypto Companies to Operate Economic Zone Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA) spokesman Raul Lambinos told Reuters, “We are about to licence 10 platforms for cryptocurrency exchange. They are Japanese, Hong Kong, Malaysians, Koreans. They can go into cryptocurrency mining, initial coin offerings, or they can go into exchange.” Exchanges providing onramps to the nation’s fiat money, on the other hand, are encouraged to launch offshore to avoid running afoul of Philippine law. Such zones offer advantageous tax regimes in the hope of creating more employment for Filipinos. Early this year, the country legalized such zones for crypto, which appears to be more welcoming to digital assets than other countries in the region. Local authorities estimate over two years crypto companies will invest more than $1 million, with ten percent of that going toward building a tax base. Ambitious plans also include a possible blockchain-based financial technology university to help feed workers to surrounding businesses in the zone. Acceptance, however, of an economic zone for crypto is a positive first start for the industry, and might signal a slight change of heart on the government’s end.

Other / Serious discussion / North and South Korea War Ended. How it will affect bitcoin?

on: April 27, 2018, 04:28:21 PM

Another historical event happened this year 2018. North and South Korea ended its 65 years Korean War. I am curious on how it will affect bitcoin. I read that South Korea accused North Korea for hacking their exchanges from 2013 to 2015. See below filtered important details: North and South Korea vow to end the Korean War in historic accord: The leaders of North and South Korea have committed themselves to the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and pledged to bring a formal end to the Korean War, 65 years after hostilities ceased. Then, the two leaders left their officials behind and struck out side by side through the DMZ to a footbridge that was recently repainted the same blue used on the Korean Unification Flag. Unexpectedly, they talked for 30 minutes, without anyone taking notes and with cameras at a distance. The contents of the conversation have not been disclosed. "Seeing Kim Jong Un live, chatting easily with their president, will no doubt have been jolt to South Koreans and remind them that the North Koreans are the same people in many ways, in language and shared history if not their political or economic structure." Near the DMZ Thursday, 51 people from the Korean War Veterans Revisit Korea Program had gathered to remember their relatives lost in that conflict and support peace and reunification. "My father Karle Seydel was killed December 7, 1950 in the Chosun reservoir," Ruth Hebert, who was from San Diego in California, told CNN. His body is believed to be still somewhere inside North Korea. Hebert said she had spoken with South Koreans who had lost family members in the war and been separated from relatives by the partitioning of the Peninsula. "We hope and pray that ... this starts to really change," she added. "There's a hope with Japan, with Korea, with the Americans to recover remains. There may be a few (prisoners of war) alive but mostly now it's down to remains." A formal end to the war will involve more than just the Koreas. Both China and the US, under the flag of the United Nations, were massively involved in the conflict, and would have to be signatories to an eventual peace treaty. Source: https://edition.cnn.com/2018/04/27/asia/korean-summit-intl/index.html North Korea Accused of Hacking South Korean Exchanges: North Korea, a nation that has previously been accused of mining bitcoin in order to flout sanctions, is suspected to have hacked a number of bitcoin exchanges in South Korea. The country allegedly stole “100 million won ($88,100) in bitcoin from 2013 to 2015 as part of its efforts to increase the country’s hard currency,” according to reports. A Silicon Angle article quoted the police as stating that “the hackers sent 10 emails to 25 workers each at four different bitcoin exchanges, disguising themselves as officials from South Korean public institutions such as the police, prosecution, Seoul city government or Financial Security Institute.” The police stated that the attack methodology was a “spear phishing” attack. North Korean hackers pretended to be government authorities and servicemen. A story published by Silicon Angle states that the hackers targeted exchange workers by sending them emails loaded with malware. One intelligence firm, Record Future, has published Google-backed data providing analysis of North Korean internet activity. The data suggests that North Korea began conducting bitcoin mining on May 17. If this is true, and North Korea has also conducted hacking attacks on exchanges, it could mean North Korea is attempting to weaponize bitcoin. Source: https://news.bitcoin.com/north-korean-hackers-accused-of-hacking-south-korean-exchanges/ Now that the conflict in Korean Peninsula has ended. What will be the future of bitcoin in the Peninsula? Will the Korean Peninsula hold the highest rank in the Cryptoworld? What are your thoughts? Peace.
