Why would I sell if I don't need the money and if I didn't "invest more than I can afford to lose"?

Oh come on, don't be a spoilsport and just play along like the others man

Nice try but there's a 't' in illegitimate (edit: in "Merit" as well, so no Merit guys ), so that's not possible, otherwise it would be there already (errrmmm I suppose ).

"The biochemicals were blown on the 11th anniversary of Bitcointalk" is still a completely acceptable (also very plausible) possibility, though!

OK if no-one else kicks this off, I will do the honours:


edit: errrm who's next??

You mean well, mate, no doubt.

I suppose you already know you shouldn't feed the trolls.

Well, this time you haven't fed the trolls, you've fed nullius. May the gods have mercy on your soul.

(edit: on second thought, I think you really love getting attention  )

Selling is not my concern right now. "When can we buy more?", is what I'm thinking atm

Coming to think of it, did I already mention I love Ron Paul? Oh and by the way: #nohomo

Yeah, I know, it's a cliché, but I picked this one as my favorite, for one very simple reason: this is a story that is not only legendary for this community, but it's extra special because even my friends, family etc who haven't got a simple clue about bitcoin and how it works (yet), nonetheless all know this story. Now that BTC's mass adoption is growing on a daily basis, I'm sure this story will soon be part of history (it probably already is):

I'd like to get 06 and 66 please and oh my gawd isn't this a cute gadget, man! Alles Beste and thx for this raffle for the community!

6 bitte und hoffentlich habe ich dieses mal mehr Glück - wünsche allen aber bonne chance ;-) und wieder vielen Dank für dein Gewinnspiel OP. Ich wünsch mir, dass die Niederländischsprachige Community ebenso aktiv war wie hier bei euch...

I've put all science, math, TA and FA together and one conclusion I can make with certainty, is that vapourminer's snooze button sucks.

A lot of interesting reactions, and a bit of nonsense and bullshit, too, here and there...

Copy-pasting and plagiarism are not synonyms.

I don't see why literally thousands of posts and opinions have been wasted on this subject. This is not something to have an opinion about: either it's plagiarism, or it's not.

That doesn't mean it's easy to prove (because if it's intentional, it's an offence, and if it's not intentional, it's not an offence) - and yes, the discussion about "intent" offers plenty of room for discussion - but the concept/definition of plagiarism is not open for discussion, not even in a cultural context. If you intentionally pretend the works or the text or the photo etc. to be yours - while they're not - there's plagiarism, no matter which country or culture you're in. So there are no different interpretations between cultures and nations, there are only differences between people who understand what (intentional) plagiarism is, and those who don't.

Read this a bit, because I don't know how clear it has to be made, before this discussion finally ends: https://www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/guidance/skills/plagiarism

So yes, posting a text or a photo which is not yours might cause copyright issues (which is using someone else's intellectual property without permission, but has nothing to do with the famous nr. 33 of the forum rules), but as long as you're not pretending it's yours, there's NO plagiarism offence.

And for instance, text spinning CLEARLY is an offence of plagiarism, because you're actively and intentionally working to pretend having written someone else's text, of which you're even trying to hide its traces - doesn't get more intentional than that, right?

Posting a photo without source, might have copyright consequences, but if you're not pretending the photo is yours, it's NOT a plagiarism offence.
Posting a text without source, exactly the same thing: might have copyright consequences, but if you're not pretending the photo is yours, it's NOT a plagiarism offence. There's no logical reason at all why photos and text posts would be treated in a different way?
It's not nice and quite stupid to not mark at least the source (not to mention the copyright discussion), but if there's no intent, it's NO plagiarism offence.

So imho, the only relevant discussion that should be had on "the big plagiarism debate" is reduced to this simple question: is it (proven) intentional or not?

By the way, in the plagiarism thread, I'm not saying there's an intent in every case, but in any case, all cases I've seen passing by on the thread were intentional. However I can imagine there's a probability that people have been banned in the past for copypasting something without pretending it to be their works. Not saying it happened, just saying it's probable. As this offence is punished with forum death penalty, I presume mods take in-depth look at every separate case before deciding to ban, temp or perm.

QED

I concur and obviously nothing stands in your way of simply opening devoted threads for it in the Altcoin section. I'm sure it won't be difficult to keep these threads alive, provided that enough people are interested in the subject of staking a specific coin, of course.

Taking in account the number of reports being made every day, I think the percentage of mistakenly deleted posts is probably still extremely low. These mods are not robots, so from time to time, there will be some posts deleted by mistake, or because the context wasn't completely clear etc.

I don't really see why you absolutely have to open another thread about this, and it hasn't made you a bit wiser about the subject. No, your post was not low value, and yes, it was probably deleted by mistake. But let's not act as if you have spent hours writing it. If you believe your reply is so essential, write it again and that's it.

So you're saying... You think it was... #notgay ??

Mouahahahahahha......

Als een of andere ambtenaar daar bij 't ministerie van Justitie die private keys een beetje laat rondslingeren, kan het nog vuurwerk geven.

I tried it yesterday (around 17:00 Berlin Time), but maybe I was too late to get the promotion? No bonuses visible at all in my dashboard (it only says "You do not have any free spins yet"). Anyway, it was an impressive action and a great step for BTCGosu, OP. Hope I'll get it next time. Wish you viel Erfolg for the future!

Unless I'm mistaken, the name of the gambling site is not mentioned in OP's article on FOX News, otherwise we could look up the conditions of the bet immediately. (not 100% sure the bet was placed online either, of course)

I wonder where Paypal's BTC backup guarantee is coming from. Did they buy the March dip, or do they get an early Black Friday IOU offer from Venezuela's or Iran's Central Banks?

If this ignoring nullius thing becomes a widely supported "popular" "mass" action, chances are he'll take it as a compliment...

Had no idea the option existed. Same goes for the very small "quick edit" button in the right corner under the message. Hadn't even noticed that one before someone mentioned it a few weeks ago in some thread.

Anyway: I click "reply".
And to edit: I click "edit" next to it.


When making a quick reply, does it also show a warning when a new post has been added in the mean-time? (Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.)

I think that's quite useful to not post the same reply, or to not post a question that has just been answered by "the guy before you". [edit: as did just happen with LoyceV's post ^  ]
