If you think you've seen this before it's because you have.

This is a new bet that originated here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5208356.msg64575392#msg64575392

Contract:

Code:

suchmoon's address: 18pTKHyCFyr5Gk3LHN4wKke1hUaT3wUnjb
Poker Player's address: bc1qlqawpy5yl7t3z9vfusuyxk9h0n42r8y8jwrd9s

suchmoon agrees to pay 0.01 BTC to Poker Player if Donald J Trump wins the 2024 US presidential election, and Poker Player agrees to pay 0.01 BTC to suchmoon if Kamala Harris wins the 2024 US presidential election.

Decision logic:

Election result is considered decided by the Electoral College meetings. After the 2024 US presidential election, if the Electoral College elects Donald J Trump then Poker Player wins this bet, and if the Electoral College elects Kamala Harris then suchmoon wins this bet, except for the draw conditions listed below.

Conditions for a draw (neither side pays the other side):

    If there is no presidential election in 2024.
    If neither of the candidates gets 270 or more Electoral College votes by midnight January 31, 2025.

Additional terms:

    EC vote total is final regardless of popular vote, pledged electors, unfaithful electors, Congress being mobbed, etc.
    No presidential election in 2024 (martial law, martians invading, etc) means a draw.
    If Donald J Trump is elected but doesn't get sworn in (dies, goes to prison, moves to Slovenia, etc) Poker Player wins.
    If Kamala Harris is elected but doesn't get sworn in (dies, goes to prison, moves to Haiti, etc) suchmoon wins.
    If a third candidate wins or gains enough EC votes to prevent both Trump and Harris from reaching 270 EC votes - it's a draw.
    Loser pays transaction fees.

Local rules: this particular bet, as well as betting on 2024 presidential election in general, and discussing the election itself is on topic. Everything else, including the usual P&S bullshit (you know who you are) is not.

test

I mean this is so fucked up that he must have some sort of special ability.

It's impossible to have any kind of discussion on P&S without him derailing it. He just goes through every thread and posts off topic nonsense. Reported about a million times, nothing ever happens.

Most recent replies in P&S right now:

Since no one seems to handling reports there anyway, even plagiarists are still happily plagiarising.

And yes, I do realize that removing the link might be too much of a hassle for the extremely busy staff, so maybe just put a piece of tape over it or something.

Edit: see stompix's post below, the 12% drop might be questionable.

https://www.newsweek.com/bitcoin-price-down-federal-reserve-interest-rates-kazakhstan-bitcoin-mining-1666203

Part of the article is about the price drop due to fed minutes but that's already been discussed all over the Speculation board etc. The second part of the article seems more interesting:

Meanwhile, Bitcoin mining—the process by which new Bitcoins are created—has been affected this week by a large internet shutdown in the central Asian country of Kazakhstan.

The network blackout came amid political turmoil and protests. For Bitcoin, this meant that one of the world's biggest mining communities took a hit.

It is difficult to know exactly how much of all the world's Bitcoins are mined in Kazakhstan, Fortune reported, but Larry Cermak, a researcher at cryptocurrency news site The Block, tweeted on Wednesday that there was a 12 percent drop in Bitcoin's "hash rate," which is a measure of how many miners are involved in the Bitcoin network at a given time.

This comes after China banned Bitcoin mining last year and some of that hash power moved to the neighboring Kazakhstan but it wasn't a particularly smooth process. Quote from another article about a month ago:

In October, Kazakhstan faced a shortfall of electricity after the country’s largest power station had to shut two units for maintenance with a combined capacity of 1,000 megawatts, roughly 5% of the country’s power supply. At the same time, electricity demand was surging. In the first nine months of the year, the country experienced additional power use during peak hours equivalent to the Almaty region, the most populous part of the country. Much of that came from the miners.

There are about 50 registered cryptocurrency mining data centers; as of October, they were consuming almost 700 megawatts of power. There are also unregistered operations, known as gray miners, that needed an additional 250 megawatts, the Energy Ministry said.

Electric grids require a precise balance between demand and supply. With so much generation unavailable, Kazakhstan began to target the miners to prevent the power grid from suffering blackouts.

Kazakhstan's energy ministry considered issuing an order to restrict power consumption by new cryptocurrency miners, but after public discussion in October dropped the plan. It amended existing legislation instead, allowing grid operator Kegoc to limit or reduce power supply to digital miners in the event of a power deficit and to avoid emergency situations.

Two months ago:

The Kazakh government plans to crack down first on unregistered "grey" miners who it estimates might be consuming twice as much power as the "white" or officially registered ones.

"I think we will have the directive (limiting power to unregistered miners) issued before the end of this year, because this issue cannot be delayed any longer," Deputy Energy Minister Murat Zhurebekov said this month.

He did not explain how authorities planned to locate "grey" miners, whose farms are often hidden in basements or abandoned factories. But sources say their heat signatures could be detected by satellites.

If you're wondering why Bitcoin miners have remained in Kazakhstan throughout government crackdowns and energy blackouts:

Real virtual metaverse ..

Pure spam.

OP not the dumbest spammer out there though, later added this line:

[...]
Maybe forum can create a special space for discussion about the metaverse.

Apparently this makes it immune and the thread can stay in Meta.

Come on now. That shit should be deleted regardless of what fluff it's padded with. I can (sort of) understand why some trolly walls of text often don't get removed from Meta, too much work for mods to read them and figure out their utter lack of value. This is 5 fucking lines though. Not rocket surgery.

User "Binance Coin" appears to be a troll/impersonator and not a real Binance account.

I'd love to be wrong about this one because it's really not a good look for this forum to allow that kind of shit.

But here are some red flags:

• Self-mod threads.
• Absurd and trolling posts.
• Russian accent when the post is not a copypasta from Binance website/twitter/etc.
• Sole merit received from korner's alt (korner is the troll behind "Bitcoin SV" account that pretends to represent the coin of the same name).
• No proof that the account actually represents Binance. Edit: dkbit98 confirmed with Binance that they don't have official accounts here on Bitcointalk.

This is a reference thread for a flag. I will update this if the account can prove that they represent Binance.

Edit: Binance Coin deleted posts referenced in this thread. I have replaced the links with archives.

Edit 2: clarified the title and added some context.

Inspired by our dear P&S celebrity BADecker:

I must say I have some doubts about this statement. Let's have a quick vote and set the record straight. Obviously only vaccinated people can vote because we can trust only first-hand experiences. So if you have been vaccinated please let us know if you're still alive or not.

[how you robbed Vod of his ownership stake in BPIP as a result of his mental decline]

Trying to save this thread from derailment.

Whenever I mention the truth of why you started your hate campaign against me or how you robbed Vod of his ownership stake in BPIP as a result of his mental decline, you can't even quote the text you are in such shame over your actions. 

How the F did I miss that happening?  I usually read most of the drama threads but don't recall anything about bpip's ownership being transferred to suchmoon

Just to make it clear: there was no drama about this and OgNasty is making up the "robbing" part. I can't believe I have to state this explicitly but he keeps repeating this shit. In December 2019 Vod had a hard drive issue and wanted to shut the site down. I asked ibminer if he wanted to partner with me to keep it running, he agreed, and we reached an agreement with Vod, where money/databases/code/domain changed hands. Myself and ibminer are 50:50 in control of BPIP now. Given that Vod hasn't brought up any issues about that deal should make it obvious how full of shit OgNasty is.

Not to mention that while the site gets some greatly appreciated donations, it costs a lot more to host and maintain, which I'm lucky to be able to afford thanks to ChipMixer and Foxpup, but it's utterly absurd to think that it's worth "robbing" or otherwise cheating to obtain it. It's a service to the community, not a miner that ibminer stole... oh wait, that was also OgNasty's lie. I'm sensing a pattern here.

Local rules: this thread is about OgNasty lying, and he's welcome to stop by here and lie some more. If you want to talk about someone or something else you need to do it elsewhere.

I was gonna say "Trump holds the Republican party by the balls" but it obviously doesn't have any.

As if there ever was much doubt where this is heading - albeit some here on this board seemed to think that Trump is fading into irrelevance after the Capitol riot - this headline is one of the best reflections of reality:

https://www.businessinsider.com/pence-declines-cpac-invite-as-trump-and-allies-take-over-2021-2

Mike Pence will not be attending the CPAC conference this year, an organizer confirmed.

Instead, Donald Trump is the highest-profile guest, alongside many of his allies.

Just think about it for a minute. Pence. Not nuts enough for the CPAC. Amazing. Can't blame him though for not wanting to be in the same room with a guy who sicced a mob of lunatics on him.

Good news - Trump is not creating a new party. He already has one.

[81]

To avoid further derailing LoyceV's thread...

It was pointed out to me by someone - not throwing that person under the bus unless they want to - that OgNasty did some interesting changes in their trust list, resulting in this:

Last update:

    1. 18321: OgNasty (Trust: +81 / =4 / -5) (DT1! (6) 1080 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP)

Right now:

DireWolfM14 figured it out in ~20 minutes:

Trust score fortification (Self-Scratching) by DT1 member:

OgNasty came up with a feeble explanation that reeks of his typical weaselspeak:

Notice anything interesting? Merit for the first person to call it what it is. LoyceV can't participate for obvious reasons

Funny. It's like you think bitcointalk didn't exist before you joined it.  I do love how much you care about whose feedback I trust to include in my network and that you think me including older feedback is somehow nefarious.  I was harassed into removing older users from my network previously, so this move has actually been long overdue as all of the added users have highly valuable feedback left to members showing the length that some users have been trusted here.  I really shouldn't justify this comment with a response, but I want you to know I saw that you have a problem with my trust additions even though you can't point to a single controversial feedback left by any of them, and I don't value your opinion whatsoever (I do highly trust nonnakip's opinion and the fact he doesn't respond to trust abuse by Vod/owlcatz/TMAN reflects not that he couldn't leave them a DT negative, but that he chooses not to even though he has earned that right).  I also think that any lemming who would exclude me for adding users to my trust network should maybe give an example of a user that doesn't deserve to be included in my trust network...  

My response in the next post.


Local rules: OgNasty's trust self-scratching is the topic. Whataboutism and other fallacies are off topic. Walls of text are off topic. Anti-establishment rants are off topic. This is not self-moderated but if you even think off-topic thoughts you'll be reported to the authorities.

Just posting this here for posterity so that when it bitconnects the shit out of gullible idiots I can say "told you so":



I would have thought it falls under

anything that a person can be said to "invest" in

but what do I know, perhaps it's

ultra legit

I decided to accept Phore's bids.

Edit 2020-11-29: this is turning into a broader nullius reputation thread, given that he's picking a fight with everyone who looks at him "wrong". That's fine, you don't have to call nullius a cunt anymore if you want to simply berate him for his pettiness or perhaps praise him for having many words. Have at it.

Edit 2020-12-03: a shout out to forum's "Ignore" feature. You rock!


"Bitcoin Forum" told me to create this topic if I'm unsatisfied. TBH I'm not sure... I just poured myself a very pleasantly fragrant drink so I'm quite satisfied really but at the same time kinda curious what the fuck was the purpose of creating a thread mentioning me and then deleting my post from it LOL. I guess I'll never know.

No self-mod and no rules here other than your post must be about nullius' reputation or lack thereof.

A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by the starter of a self-moderated topic. There are no rules of self-moderation, so this deletion cannot be appealed. Do not continue posting in this topic if the topic-starter has requested that you leave.

You can create a new topic if you are unsatisfied with this one. If the topic-starter is scamming, post about it in Scam Accusations.

What the fuck is this shit. I get my name pinged and end up in a self-mod thread with three ignored posts LOL.

Pro tip nullius: mentioning my nick over and over again is not gonna trick me into reading your rants so you might as well give it up. Gotta implement ignore in my notification thingy now, thanks for wasting my time.

Edit - I just realized that "Bitcoin Forum" doesn't say which thread the deleted post was in... it's this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5293022.0

I for one welcome our new monolith-planting overlords.


Edited 2020-11-30 to fix a broken image

Seriously, what do you think this is? To me it seems like a harebrained idea of some hippie "artist".

From a helicopter, officers from the Utah Department of Public Safety spotted a large metal monolith — a single block of metal — last week. It was sitting in Utah's Red Rock Country in the southeast. Officials have no idea how or when it got there — or who might have placed it.

[from a locked thread]

What if I told you that there is a magic browser extension that does all this:

• Allows quoting posts from locked threads - full proper BBCode quotes, no gimmicks.
• Allows quoting trust ratings into BBCode as well.
• Provides shortcut buttons to include/exclude someone in your trust list.
• Sums up sent/received merits on your (or anyone's) merit page for the current day, last 24 hours, and last 7/30/120 days.
• Gives you a choice of alternative styling for Bitcointalk, including a dark theme.
• Adds links under the MORE menu that you wish were always there - forum rules, merit info, trust system info, BBCode tips, etc.

You would probably think that I'm shilling BPIP browser extension and you'd be right. The reason I'm posting this subset of the extension's new features here in Meta is that all of the above does not depend on BPIP or any other external services and every feature is individually configurable so you can install the extension and turn on only the stuff that you're interested in. You can even download the extension and pick it apart to steal borrow the code if you're so inclined.

More details and installation links here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5224821

Some screenshots:

This does exactly what it says... copies BBCode into clipboard from a locked thread.

Another BBCode-to-clipboard feature - for trust ratings (see the button on the right side). The result looks like this:

Options to include or exclude the user in your trust list. This screenshot also shows one of new themes created by ibminer.



Edited 2020-11-30 to fix a broken image

When you click the person+ or person- button on user profile it opens your trust list, adds the new entry to it, shows a message explaining what's going on, but doesn't automatically save it - you would need to review and save the change yourself. If a conflicting entry is found (for example you're trying to exclude a person whom you're currently including) the extension will not add the new entry and will show a message explaining the issue.



Edited 2020-11-30 to fix a broken image

Merit totals on each user's merit page.


And some extra links under the MORE menu that I wish were available to everyone. I realize that an extension used by a few dozen people doesn't really solve this problem but maybe someone will find this useful and it's not like you're paying extra for it


Edited 2020-11-30 to fix a broken image

I started reporting some threads to be moved from altcoin announcements to token announcements because they sounded like all the other useless tokens to me but there are so many of them that it gives me pause. Is there some exception for this new defi scam wave that I'm not aware of?

I'm talking about shit like this - it even has "[off]shi[f]t" in its name so don't give me any shit about it not being shit: [ANN] Offshift (XFT & zkUSD) Private offshore storage & DeFi protocol on ETH

I realize nobody can be bothered to care about altcoins but it hurts my OCD that we have two separate boards but no clear line between them.

Just leaving this here for the next merit sorcery realignment.

IXCoin - a horrible shitcoin by any measure, dead website, no volume, etc - has the most merited (in 2020) ANN thread on Bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5284439.msg55453820#msg55453820

The reason is Vlad2Vlad who claims to be "Lead dev and CTO and CEO of IXcoin" and happens to be a merit source sending large amounts of merit in that thread. He's also doing the same thing in own thread shilling IXC: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=317658

I know the post quality is quite subjective but this looks like a massive conflict of interest and not the best use of source merits. Perhaps a different merit source can be selected for the altcoin boards who would prop up more than one shitcoin thread.

[post count in 2020]

I was trying to figure out which altcoins are most popular here on Bitcointalk but I think I ended up collecting a list of altcoins that are shilled in the weirdest ways. Even though thread bumping rules have been changed about a year ago to discourage low-value posts, there still seems to be some of that bumping going on.

Here is what I did:

• Counted posts made in 2020 on altcoin and token announcement boards.
• Counted users who made those posts.
• Counted merits sent to those posts (again, only to posts made in 2020).
• Calculated top 100 of threads by post count (see below) and another top 100 by merit count (see the second post of this thread).

Not sure if we're supposed to have one mega-thread for bug reports but I'll post this a separate thread as this bug seems horrible enough.

I was testing epochtalk moderator functions related to this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5282883.msg55430312#msg55430312

So I logged in as a regular user (let's call the user "suchmoon", complete coincidence of course), opened two browser tabs (using Firefox; as I've reported previously it's impossible to open multiple tabs with the same user in Tor Browser), created a few posts. Then in tab 1 I logged out and logged in as an admin. A few minor things here: can't report my own post and seemingly can't just delete a post without it being reported, but that's not the issue here.

So I'm doing admin things in tab 1. Then switch to tab 2. Still shows me logged in as suchmoon. I click on a thread. I post in the thread. It still shows me logged in as suchmoon but the post's author is admin. I can report the post though so I do. I switch back to tab 1 and in the report queue it shows that the post was created by admin and reported by suchmoon. Keep in mind that both posting and reporting took place in one tab where the logged in user was shown as suchmoon. I have a feeling that there might be some API calls where the backend just trusts whatever user ID is coming through... or maybe not quite as bad, maybe just expired but otherwise valid authentication is being accepted. A bug in either case.

Edit - upon further digging it looks that the frontend sends the correct JWT bearer token in both tabs but the backend uses reporter_user_id from the payload. I don't know why that reporter_user_id is even there.

Let's try to have an election thread without the usual P&S garbage. So a few local rules:

BADecker, franky1, anyone else who can't stay on topic - I'm sure you can find many other threads to derail.

On topic: facts and discussion on early voting, turnout, exit polls, results, etc.

Borderline on topic: election issues as long as it's factual and about 2020 November federal elections.

Off topic: merits (or lack thereof) of candidates, political parties, political views, etc. Anything not directly related to elections. Personal attacks. Complaining about this thread (start a REEEE if you need to).

I will likely delete posts that are only partially off topic - don't take this personally, just edit out the off topic part and repost. There is definitely no lack of threads around here to discuss all that other stuff.

I'll start off with early voting numbers: https://targetearly.targetsmart.com/

Unsurprisingly the numbers are way way up. It's almost as if there is some off topic event or circumstance (I'm just kidding, it's the friggin' pandemic) influencing the turnout.
