When it comes to money in general (and when related to this forum) I am in no doubt many members would join any campaign they want but the fear of being ostracised and then having their account rendered useless has stopped reputable members from participating in their signature campaigns.

Well, Jollygood.
Considering how infamous they are around here in the forum and probably on other places on internet dedicated to gambling, it would make sense they could be running low in Hero and Legendary participants. Luckily not many people around here would ruin their personal reputation to join this nefarious campaign, so in the context of lack of "quality" participants, the manager would be willing to turn a bling eye to some using alt accounts to spam and shill this casino to the infinity and beyond.  Roll Eyes

Least surprising thing about a scam casino. Imo

Oh, man....I can't tell you how many one-time use accounts I've seen all over the forum (actually you probably have as well), whether it's to troll someone, make a scam accusation, or like you mentioned to spam and all the other reasons.
I have seen several of them during my time here too. Many of those types of accounts used for trolling or one time anonymous scam accusations fade away never to be heard from again.

I also think a lot of accounts that got created during the various bull markets went dormant once bitcoin started to slide, and the late 2017 to early 2018 period comes to mind immediately.  There were a ton of new accounts created to participate in the ICO bounties, and I don't think many of those people stuck around to the present day.
I would not be surprised if the biggest spike in the number of members signing up in the forum occurred when ICOs were at their peak. It was an absolutely manic flurry of activity when investors were lining up to part with their cash to invest using ETH and the bounties were attracting people from across the spectrum.

I didn't think there were 'only' 58k active accounts, but when you think about it that's still a pretty high number for an old-school discussion forum.  If signature campaigns went away, though?  I bet that number would drop off a cliff in a heartbeat.
If an active member was categorised as one on the basis they last logged in 28 days ago the number would be different to say that of members signing in 90 or 180 days ago. That definition of the word active is something that does not have consensus therefore can be misleading. I would still look at that alleged 58,000 active members as debatable.

In principle what you say is correct but looking at the bigger picture things are not as straight forward as that. For example, there are DT members that are abusing their position by using their feedbacks and exclusions for revenge purposes (and there is the matter of cliques). I think that part of the scenario has not been mentioned nor discussed in a wider manner in this thread because it probably has and still does play a part in both new member and old member retention.

DT Members opression    - 8 (23.5%)
Well as for this, I really think the DT final verdict is based on consensus. So therefore if there be any judgement passed, it must have been scrutinized by the DT members thoroughly before it is enacted but if their is anything else, they should be able to come up plane to say it.
1504  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Alert] Someone sending emails "Donate to Bitcoin Forum" on: May 23, 2023, 08:28:57 AM
I did not receive any such email either but the scam attempt is probably one of those in which the scammer sends a message to a group of email addresses in the hope of getting even one from the lot to send him some Bitcoin. It is almost akin to a hit and miss type.

I have also never received such an e-mail, which only goes to the fact that someone is using the database of accounts that were hacked somewhere around 2015, and considering that many changed their e-mails after that and that many from that period are no longer active, I think that this "hacker" just wasted his time.

In addition, everyone who is active on the forum should know that donations of this type are no longer possible, or it just seems to me that I read that somewhere?

As has been suggested it would be advisable to edit the title of the thread to include the updated information including the fact you have received the funds you were owed. May I also suggest you lock this thread when you next visit here because there is not much for anybody to add here.

I got all the money back.
I have no complaints, the main problem is that you have to wait more than a month for your money and it greatly affects the plans.

Throughout all the scam accusations and all the problems that have been created by the 1xbit/1xbit1 team, they have managed to retain the services of some loyal campaign participants (which unknown to them some are operated by a puppeteer pocketing fees from multiple accounts)

Thank you @1xbit_official for update of signature campaign spreadsheet and payments! 👍

I have a suspicion the OP will not be returning any time soon to provide clarification. I would not say either way whether ethercrash scammed the OP or not but how many times have we seen scam accusations from newbies which are unsubstantiated (or unclear to say the least)?

You would at the very minimum expect someone making a scam accusation to provide some sort of evidence to back up their claim.

OP sorry to say this you will have to edit this post and properly give in details proof and incidence of how it occurred because what you have posted here is not factual but errors. Try do the needful as to avoid further confusion.

Currently we are at 34 votes in the poll and again it another unfair reflection as to addressing the subject title of the thread. Without a doubt there are innumerable factors that could contribute to members not participating in a vote but seriously such low numbers are indicative of a regular pattern.

Start a thread looking campaign participants and it will be flooded with hopefuls trying to get selected yet something such as important as this is virtually overlooked when using as a comparator.

Inter Milan take on Manchester City in the Champions League final in a game that will define Guardiola as a manager. I am quite confident Inter Milan will win the game because as usual he will make peculiar substitutes and put out a non-regular starting team. His tactics will backfire on him again as Inter Milan will probably allow Manchester City to possess the ball but will not let them press and will also catch them on the counter-attack.

What are the latest odds for Manchester City winning the treble this season?

What the OP should have done was to at least post back after creating the thread. If others can post here to comment on his OP then surely he can return to read replies and post responses to what is being asked.

I think the op just picked up the wrong txid

RESULT:

Newcastle United 0-0 Leicester City

In an amazing turn of events Newcastle United have secured Champions League football for next season by guaranteeing a place in the top four this season. It seems as though Manchester United will finish the season in 3rd place and Newcastle United will finish in 4th place. As for Leicester City they received a point today but they are in a struggle with Leeds United and Everton because two those three teams will face relegation.

In one of the future posts I will upload the Premier League table soon to provide a visual because goal difference will play a role at the top and bottom of the table.

1512  Other / Meta / Re: Forum Menbership- 3.5m registered only 56k members survived?..... Why? on: May 22, 2023, 09:06:37 PM
Thank you for starting the topic and inviting for an open discussion to take place. Since finding this thread I have been pondering what to write especially after reading many excellent opinions already posted. To some extent I am surprised it is being discussed now when it should already have been discussed in great detail such is the importance of question surrounding the actual number of real active users.

This is merely an opinion, I would say that DT oppression to some extent does take place yet it is only part of a wider DT related issue. Cliques, groups and gangs working in tandem also could be part of the issue.

I believe merits play a huge part in retention of newbies in the forum. I am not going to say whether the following is an appropriate course of action but I have seen frustrated members complain about why their regular/consistent efforts in the forum by virtue of medium to high quality posts have seen little or nothing in either recognition or merits whereas far too many merits have been given out for what a neutral observer would probably conclude did not deserve the merits received. That could also put off members especially when they create a thread about it and do not receive much sympathy.

As for Bitcoin low adoption (as you put it), would it be fair to say that stacked up against nation countries fiat based currencies Bitcoin has always been low adoption since the day it was created in 2009 and even though the numbers increase in adoption month on month it will always remain low adoption? I cannot see a valid reason a newbie to this forum would leave (just after signing up) on the basis there was low adoption.

I rarely use the BPIP website but when I do I have to say it is informative with all the scraping of data. Having said that I would advise to use multiple sources to try to ascertain statistics related to user and forum activity.


unfriendly environment for Newbies/users ?

DT members oppression ? ( so much red than green these days)

The merit system (high demands for quality) ?

The moderation/rules ( using the ban button more often) ?

Low Bitcoin adoption ?

Lets Talk... Cool

@JollyGood I’m disappointed because Real Madrid surrendered the match too easily and I hope that they focus on rebuilding their squad if they want to win the champions league next season. Also while City will definitely be the favourites but I would yet support Inter because I’m a Manchester United fan and I don’t want to see City win the treble Grin.
I would have put Real Madrid as favourites to win the tournament again this season but well done to Manchester City for making it to the final. Regarding the treble, Manchester United play Manchester City in the first ever All Manchester FA Cup final therefore they do not have to rely on Inter Milan if they are trying to stop Manchester City winning the treble  Grin

Yup it seemed like it was gonna be a close match just basing it on the first leg and to some extent on paper.  But I don't follow the La Liga and I have no idea on what trajectory Real's momentum was before the match.  They prolly had a couple of tough matches before travelling to Manchester?  They all looked slow, fatigued, tired out there and never really had anything, any threat against Guardiola's squad.  
Real Madrid have suffered 3 losses in their previous 5 La Liga games and have allowed Barcelona to race to the title but that cannot be an excuse to the miserable display and loss. There is a mix of youth and experience in that team but they will need to buy more players if they intend to make an impact on the domestic and European scene next season.

Guardiola found a way out against Ancelotti's classical simple strategies and this resulted in a huge win for Manchester City. Courtois really tried to keep them away by a couple of solid saves but he couldn't hold the door against Manchester City any longer after that. Manchester City played a dominant game just as they did in the most part of the first leg but the main difference was the effectiveness at finishing this time.

The interesting thing is that Haaland couldn't contribute with either goals or assists. However it was still not a hindrance for Manchester City to get that comfortable win. This is a really important point because it shows that they aren't fully dependent on him all the time.

By the way, it was unlucky for Haaland at the same time. After he was replaced with Alvarez the guy just scored a goal in only two minutes.  Grin
Haaland has been phenomenal in his first season at Manchester City. I have never seen a player managed by Guardiola that sees very little of the ball throughout 90 minutes yet consistently manages to score and assist goals.

ETH or BTC? And the Etherscan link shows multiple transactions from a Coinbase address to elsewhere.

This happens to be one of the many cases where a scam accusation is made yet those reading it are confused as they cannot understand anything. I would advise the OP to post back with complete clarity otherwise he will not be able to gather any support from members.

You are not being clear in this scam accusation, or am I missing something?

You said you deposited 1 ETH which was credited to your account and then made another deposit of 1 ETH which was never credited to your account. But the proof of payments you just shared don't show anything like payment/deposit of 1 ETH

First TX ID - shows 0 ETH value
Second TX ID  - Shows a transaction of 2.03539659 BTC (~ $54,734.24). You never talked about depositing BTC in the scam accusation. So how does this come about?
1515  Economy / Reputation / Re: How much longer will JollyGood take to reverse his feedback? on: May 21, 2023, 08:44:26 PM
I think this might just be a wee bit off-topic, but I took a look at Zilon's recent posts and they're not only quite numerous but most of them are generic crap that I see a lot when I'm doing post history reviews.  Nobody can read minds, but I think it's pretty obvious when someone is posting just to get paid.  Lack of effort and thought put into posts really sticks out when you're reading closely.

And back on topic....hasn't this issue been put to rest already, even if it wasn't to OP's satisfaction?  I'm not sure what the big deal was, since JollyGood left a neutral, which I think is entirely appropriate.
All the effort the OP exerted trying to drum up support via this thread (in order to have a neutral tag removed) was by all intent and purposes both pointless and counter-productive. It was pointless because he should never had felt the need to stress over a neutral tag and following on from that, it was counter-productive for him because various alt-accounts are now definitely connected whereas some are assumed to be connected.

I am also going to leave a red tag on top of the neutral but I wanted to see what more drama will be added here by the OP as he puts forward counterclaims in the hope of getting tags removed.
1516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2022/2023 on: May 21, 2023, 08:29:45 PM

Bournemouth 0-1 Manchester United
Fulham 2-2 Crystal Palace
Liverpool 1-1 Aston Villa

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Arsenal

Thursday 18th May
Newcastle United 4-1 Brighton and Hove Albion

-------------------------------------

^  Meh..  All the 'mathematically stuff' the football journos like to throw out there is just an attempt to keep our attention and get us still interested in the season.  It's pretty clear that City has it in the bag.  The books prolly have City to win the league lined at 1.10 or something...  Maybe less.

The more exciting question is if Guardiola could win City a treble.  In the EPL era, only Man United has ever done it.
I would say it had to be less that 1.10 at the stage before they won the Premier League title and it is difficult to argue with the way you raised the point, Manchester City did have the title in the bag so to speak Grin

Manchester City is like an impenetrable wall, considering the significant points gap from other teams, their chances of winning the league seem almost certain unless Arsenal wins the upcoming match and earns a substantial number of points to close the gap with Manchester City. Arsenal must perform at their best and make significant improvements to secure a victory. However, it will undoubtedly be difficult for Arsenal as Newcastle, who has a similar points tally, has been performing well and consistently winning their matches. So, it remains challenging to catch up with Manchester City. This club has already secured the certainty of becoming the champions of this league.
I disagree, Newcastle United and Arsenal do not have a similar points tally. It is Manchester United and Newcastle United that have a similar points tally. Having said that Manchester City were excellent throughout the season and had only a few bumps here and there.

Whether the issue mentioned in the post was resolved in an appropriate manner is one thing, what cannot be overlooked is what you highlighted. I would go a little further and add that if they are paying for a signature campaign (therefore use the forum to display their services) they should probably consider being more active here too.

Does anybody know definitely if the issue was actually resolved?

Glad to see you solving things, even though I think that you can be more active here.

Here are no new complaints, so I guess this case is positively solved.

Hiperlink stopped working after about 36 hours after the beginning of the mix, it returns 404 now. But just after the transaction was sent the page showed me my transaction though with 0 confirmations. After the tx was confirmed I wasn't able to check the status.
I've added the link and the guarantee letter in the letter that I sent to your email (from the site): support*sinbad.io. Why can't you just check the inbox? All the relevant information is there.
I've already contacted your support by telegram either and still nothing.
It seems that you're not really interested in solving this issue? My funds're gone
1518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2022/2023 on: May 19, 2023, 09:41:10 PM
These are the games taking place on 20th May 2023:

Tottenham Hotspur vs Brentford
Bournemouth vs Manchester United
Fulham vs Crystal Palace
Liverpool vs Aston Villa
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal


If the mathematics are correct, Manchester City will be crowned champions unless Arsenal win at Nottingham Forest. Even though Liverpool find themselves in a mini-revival it would not be impossible for Aston Villa to spoil the party therefore Manchester United and Newcastle United may not have to do too much to ensure they finish 3rd and 4th at the end of the season and with that play Champions League football in the 2023/24 season.
1519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ FOOTBALL: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 on: May 17, 2023, 11:41:55 PM
It would have been almost impossible to have gone with a 4-0 win for Manchester City before the game started but yes congratulations to them. They are in the final again but are going up against Inter Milan who beat AC Milan 3-0 on aggregate.

I would not be surprised if Inter Milan win the final against Manchester City even they would be deemed to be underdogs by most bookmakers.

Edit:  I'm a dumb idiot.  Congrats to City.
1520  Economy / Reputation / Re: How much longer will JollyGood take to reverse his feedback? on: May 17, 2023, 11:34:01 PM
Even those proclaiming their reputation is under scrutiny because of a single neutral tag from me
If someone does claim this as the case, then clearly the neutral tag should not be removed.

In fact, such a case would demand the neutral tag's elevation to a higher status of negative feedback, in my opinion. Smiley
You have an interesting observation on elevating the status of the feedback  Grin

This is just like a few years ago when various UID's created threads that I had left them *neutral* trust feedback and they ran with it encouraged by a minority of DT Trolls who rinse and repeat to bang their thin skinned drums and wiggle their bonny fingers.  It will pass and as we've seen here, the OP is just one of many alts that are quickly exposed by many.

Next week they will find someone else to Troll and their throw away farmed account will be yesterday's news.

Another reason newbies shouldn't be allowed into some sections of the forum.
I am unfamiliar with the incident you refer to therefore I will try to search for it but were any of the DT trolls (as you refer to them) added on DT by an alleged alt-account? If you were trolled by a group over a neutral tag then that seems highly excessive but it is not an uncommon phenomena in the forum. Not that long as I was trolled by a group of 3-4 who were using any and every opportunity to troll me and even now occasionally it seems one or two of them from time to time have a small outburst but it does not bother me.

It would be interesting to find out the incident you refer to, is it possible to post a link to the neutral feedback you left?

Alisha-k is a 1xbit participant and already received numerous negative feedback, it's the time to say goodbye for Zilon and dbc23? Cry

It's interesting what the @OP will say about this Tongue
The OP has gone quiet on this and several other claims made in this thread but surprisingly he has not locked the thread.
