Miners can't force you to run their node software.
If other users don't run their software either, they won't be forcing anything on anyone.

Please help me, I need to access my BTCs, it is all my money.
Extract your private keys and import them into a wallet that is easier to use (and less secure). |

Performance reasons...
Frankly, the performance of this forum, at any given time, sucks.
Oh well, since it's been covered in other threads I'll just lock this.

Using the basic search box at the top of the forum I am getting the following response: Select no more than 5 boards at a time.
I dunno if this has been posted already or not, since I can't search properly! ;p

Oh... the outrage!
...over an OP locking his own thread.

Is Bitcoin Core synced to the latest block?
|
|
|
|
2247 Unconfirmed Transactions <- Is that a record low in quite some time?
Have anyone checked the balances of the well known exchange wallets to get an idea of what percentage of coins have been withdrawn? I don't think it is a huge percentage, just a feeling....
P.S.: Wow 939 Unconfirmed Transactions .... Basically we are up to date...
"Spam the network" ended a few weeks ago, where have you been? |

If you blame the drugs, you give these guys a free pass on their behavior.
I can assure you, it has nothing to do with marijuana and everything to do with their upbringing.

Bitcoin realists refusing to "fix" perfectly functioning system in the hopes of achieving unrealistic goals which could potentially destroy the very unique properties which make Bitcoin useful in the first place.
There, fixed that title for you OP. You're welcome in advance.

Hello Wall Observer, my old friend
I've come to troll with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while Adam was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Was a block chain
Within the sound of trolling
In restless dreams I trolled alone
Narrow threads in speculation
'Neath the halo of a monitor glow
I clicked a tab to bitcoinity show
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of an all time high
That split the night
And touched the sound of trolling
And in the all time high I saw
Ten thousand trolls maybe more
Trolls posting without typing
Trolls moderating without reporting
Trolls writing posts that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of trolling
"Trolls," said I, "you do not know
Trolling like a cancer grows
Read my posts that I might troll you
Take my keyboard that I might troll you"
But my words like unconfirmed transactions fell
And echoed in the wells of trolling
And the people bowed and prayed
To the Bitcoin god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of satoshi is written in the order walls"
We dropped our jaws
And whispered in the sound of trolling

The reason the WO thread is interesting is oftentimes because of the "garbage and idiots". The beautiful thing is, you can ignore the "garbage and idiots" that you don't like. There are quite a few users I've ignored specifically because of their posting in the WO thread, but some users who would most likely be moderated more often than not... *ahem r0ach*... are quite entertaining to me.
If this were to be applied in WO thread, it would have to be applied in the rest of the forum. I disagree with your suggestion. Unless there is some technical barrier, I don't see why the "on-topic" rule needs to apply to the entire forum without exception. The WO thread is often interesting because every post isn't about order depth walls on various exchanges (I'd imagine a very low percentage of them are). In fact, observing walls is pretty fucking boring, which is probably why the thread evolved into something else. One man's trash is another man's treasure. EDIT: (lawl) Special Wall Observer rules: bitcointalk.org moderators do not moderate the Wall Observer thread for multi-posting (except obvious spam), trolling, or on-topicness. Do not use this form to report those violations; instead, contact the thread owner. Reports of other rule violations are OK here. I only saw xhomerx10's post because you quoted him, I have him on ignore (possibly due to me ignoring pretty much anyone with a paid sig). The reason I'm pointing that out is because I'm compelled to respond to his post with the following: L2Ignore!
For the record: I have a lot of respect for sidehack and his contributions to the Bitcoin mining community. Mine is not a paid sig. Well... for the record: I did say possibly (I didn't bother to check). I could have also possibly ignored you because you were posting "garbage"or being an "idiot" somewhere, possibly in the WO thread!  |

I voted for Lauda.
That was obvious.
It has everything to do with free speech and also everything to do with order. Right now I can't exercise any form of speech in the WO thread because it is locked. The newly elected moderator is the first step to getting the thread unlocked. Also, I like a modicum of order; it makes the topic easier to follow.
It was locked because it did not have a moderator at all.
I like that when I get a notification of activity in a thread I follow that it will contain something topical and worthy of my time rather than a Nazi woman wearing Bitcoin symbol arm band and sporting flashing green lights for breasts. It's not funny, not entertaining, not offensive to me personally but mainly it's not topical. Then other people want to weigh in on that off-topic post with their own critiques, criticisms, shaming and various other expressions of "free speech" and the thread goes to shit.
Feel free to exercise your free speech by creating a new thread in the society section about whatever the hell you want and then let people decide whether they care to waste their time in there. Perhaps you don't realize the reason the thread was locked in the first place. It's those "free speech" off topic posts that created the censorship - we're still free to make our posts just not in the WO thread because it was "out of control". It became a headache for the administrator of this board; the easiest thing for him to do would be to leave it locked. This should lead any sane individual to realize that the WO thread WAS full of garbage AND idiots.
If you want free speech, put on placard and dance around in the streets - or - if you want free speech in here, open a new thread with your off-topic rants. When I say "you" I'm talking to all those idiots who caused the complaints that led to the WO thread being locked in the first place. This is not the end of the problem; it's a second chance and from what I see in this thread, we may be destined to repeat the same mistake. Free speech doesn't mean you get to say whatever you want and there are no consequences - it only means the government can't penalize you for saying it.
So you want free speech, but you want it controlled? You believe in 'order'. OK, I see. Maybe it was 'full of garbage and idiots', maybe that is an exaggeration. Maybe it was tiresome at times, maybe that disorder was part of its allure. However, candidates displaying a level of utter contempt for the WO by saying it was 'full of garbage AND idiots' are unlikely to find it is the best way to get people to vote for them to be its moderator. I only saw xhomerx10's post because you quoted him, I have him on ignore (possibly due to me ignoring pretty much anyone with a paid sig). The reason I'm pointing that out is because I'm compelled to respond to his post with the following: L2Ignore! The reason the WO thread is interesting is oftentimes because of the "garbage and idiots". The beautiful thing is, you can ignore the "garbage and idiots" that you don't like. There are quite a few users I've ignored specifically because of their posting in the WO thread, but some users who would most likely be moderated more often than not... *ahem r0ach*... are quite entertaining to me. There is a reason the un-moderated WO fork has won. Heavy handed moderation in the WO thread will certainly kill it. Self-moderation via the ignore button is the correct approach. I'm all for the "on-topic" rule everywhere in the forum, except the WO thread. Moderation in the WO thread should only be used for the really nasty stuff (threats or vulgar material, etc...). |

If you are asking here, no.
Do your own research until you feel comfortable enough to answer this question for yourself.

Hey, this thread is starting to get interesting. Maybe this can just take over as the new WO? |
|
|
|
|
I thought the new owner was supposed to be someone who is a "regular" in the WO thread?
|

Put a two post limit per day per user on the WO thread. That might incentivize a better signal to noise ratio.
*also no newbie accounts
