I don't know for sure. I mean, some of my friends have seen me gamble in sports like basketball, baseball, and football. They have seen me play card games also and they probably learned a thing or two just by watching me. So I may be indirectly responsible if they started betting/playing after.
403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reputation at stake will you stop gambling on: November 19, 2019, 01:30:39 PM
The key there is that you only gamble "just for fun". You are not a notorious gambler or some gambling lord in your area.

You don't have to have because of morality, integrity, or reputation. You will stop because campaigning will also take a lot of your time away from gambling.

I have never involved myself in politics but if I were in the situation where opponents will use my being an occasional gambler against me, I probably would not bother defending myself and just tell everyone that it is accept a fact that gambling has been a part of many people's life and you are no exception.

lol I thought you were accusing ABBC of being a scam  Cheesy

With regards to the warnings or advisories, a lot of these types of scam attempts have been covered and exposed in either the beginners & help board or the scam accusation board but I guess another reminder to newbies would not hurt.
405  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum ERC20 Tokens Are Gaining in Total Market Capitalization on: November 18, 2019, 03:27:47 PM
I only consider BAT as erc-20 tokens dominating the market capitalization and it's not even in the top 10.

There are too many coins that moved from ERC20 like VET, KIN and many more. If being on ERC 20 can give them a boost then why would they build their mainnet.
Because they never really intended to be on the ethereum blockchain in the first place? Starting as an erc-20 token was the easiest or fastest route for them to gather funds and develop their own blockchain.

Mate, that user has been red-tagged by three different users already before you had a deal. Check his trust summary here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=28325

There is another thread opened today accusing him again of scamming https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5202346.msg53107435#msg53107435

Sorry for your loss mate but as mentioned already, these types of transactions aren't really moderated. Scammers who aren't violating the forum rules can only be red-tagged and flagged. Here is a flag created against bal3wolf https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=28325;page=iflags You can support that flag and/or you can create another one.

Since this post is in a beginner's section, perhaps it would be best if we inform newbies reading this post who are still unaware of the differences between a custodial web wallet and non-custodial web wallet.

In a custodial wallet, users don't have complete control of their private keys and funds. A good example is Coinbase which was mentioned in the OP.
A non-custodial wallet is the complete opposite of a custodial wallet where users have complete control priv. keys and funds.

Thanks for this. Giving less weight to orders that are farther from the mid-price in determining exchange liquidity could work. It's more difficult to game that formula compared to faking the volume. Exchanges can still beat it but it's much riskier on their end and they'll probably need to sacrifice more resources if they want to top the list on CMC.


410  Economy / Exchanges / Re: EXCHANGE LIQUIDITY: According to CMC's new metric, there ain't much. on: November 17, 2019, 11:58:14 AM
There's a huge difference if you compare the top 10 exchange by liquidity and the top 10 by adjusted volume  Cheesy.

And, of course, how can it be gamed?
I can only think of exchanges do some more sophisticated wash trading to beat the liquidity metric for now. I guess we will have a better idea once we see the methodology. As I said in my thread, link is still a blank page.
411  Economy / Reputation / Re: Coinmarketcap fighting exchanges volume inflation on: November 17, 2019, 11:37:04 AM

I think it's a good move for a number of reasons, which I outline in a similar thread that I started yesterday.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5202098.0
Thanks. Your thread didn't appear in my forum search, locking mine now.
412  Economy / Reputation / Coinmarketcap fighting exchanges volume inflation on: November 17, 2019, 11:16:34 AM
They've admitted that their previous metric isn't enough to combat the problem of volume inflation and that they are thinking/hoping that this "Liquidity metric" will be the solution.

In the past year, with increasing volume inflation, the volume metric started to lose its purpose as a reliable way to gauge real trading interest. Other solutions, such as handpicking only a few “trusted” exchanges or using unrelated metrics like web traffic, were non-comprehensive and did not address the root cause of the issue.

Our new metric will focus on what matters most to investors and traders: liquidity. With our Liquidity metric, we hope to provide public good to the crypto markets by encouraging the provision of liquidity instead of the inflation of volumes.

They mentioned the details/methodology here but it appears blank page when I open it. Here are the key highlights though:

To highlight a few key points:
  • Liquidity refers to the ease of being able to trade in and out of an asset, or in this case cryptocurrencies.
  • The Liquidity metric by CoinMarketCap takes into account a wider range of key variables from the order book, such as the distance of the order from the mid-price, the size of the order and the relative liquidity of the asset in question.
  • The metric has been designed to measure liquidity in an adaptive manner and the calculation is made by polling the market-pair at random intervals over a 24-hour period and averaging the result. This takes into consideration differences in global time zones and the fact that order-book depth changes constantly due to immediate market conditions.

What do you guys think about this move by coinmarketcap? I would guess it's a move to salvage their losing credibility/reputation and bring back serious traders to use their platform again.


I am not sure where to post this, please move if posted on the wrong board.

This news is almost two weeks old and it has been discussed here a few times already. Next time you decide to open a thread, make sure you check first if a topic has been created already.

You better lock this topic and read the comments on this thread instead https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5198982.0 or https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5198851.0

It's nice to see your thread out of the off-topic board.

I noticed some locked threads in the OP, perhaps you can separate them from the list of open threads.

415  Economy / Reputation / Re: Are the campaign managers doing the job correctly? on: November 17, 2019, 09:51:46 AM
When I made the post I didn't know the owner created the signature terms. But I don't agree with the fact that lightlord is willingly paying him. Hhampuz is the one managing the campaign, if he had informed lightlord about the issue, I think Negotiation would have been warned or even removed.
Bitvest has been here for a very long time and I guess Lightlord has seen it all including where participants usually posts. He/She is probably aware that there are sections where signatures are disabled since that has been implemented a long time ago.

As already mentioned, it's not against the rules to post in WO. Lightlord has changed the campaign rules multiple times already when it comes to payment rates but never really bothered to limit where participants could post. I'm not sure but I think even off-topic board is allowed.

In any case, it's best to message the owner who sets the rules.

417  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Brave Browser - Why it doesn't care about your privacy on: November 16, 2019, 04:19:41 PM
Brave still value users privacy when browsing the internet but it's a different story when they want to profit from it. It's either they comply or they get shutdown. If Firefox were to implement a similar reward program, they will be forced to follow the regulations as well.

You want your privacy? Do not get paid.

Even the money I sent to my wallet is now locked until complying with KYC? this is crazy.
This is not fair. They should not let anyone deposit in the first place if users can't withdraw without completing KYC.
418  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: November 15, 2019, 02:19:18 PM
But that is not really good. We are talking about professionals who went to a lot of hardships to claim the position now.

Let's forget about Melo and Dwight a bit and use a young and upcoming player as an example. If he is good enough for the team, he will be drafted and will get a guaranteed contract. If he isn't good for the team but the management thinks there's a 50-50 chance that the player can improve, the non-guaranteed contract can be used by the team and see if it will work out or not. If it works, he'll get a better contract. If it doesn't, then that player has to work even harder. That is still fair for both parties.

If we're going to talk about veterans who're getting non-guaranteed contracts now, remember that they once had a guaranteed contract and earned a lot from it. They already got paid a good amount of money for their hard work.

420  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Exposing a scam on: November 15, 2019, 12:57:43 PM
The project has been exposed since April this year on the Scam Accusation board. Here's the link to the first accusation https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5132555.0

I noticed also that no flags has been created against the main account TAGZ and he/she hasn't been red-tagged by any members here.

If you want to revive the accusation against them, I suggest you visit that first topic. Tagz is obviously being defended by newbie accounts which are either bought or created by the team.
