Bit of a shame this campaign only has two spots for legendary members...
It cannot be a talk of legendary member. No one could question about their budget. Too childish behavior here from a Legendary member  Ι didn't say anything that other than I find it a shame. It's just my opinion that it doesn't make much sense to make it so much harder for the highest rank to get in based on the proportion of the spots. Usually parties advertised want more from the top anyway. But of course it's the management's decision. |

Bit of a shame this campaign only has two spots for legendary members... It's actually harder to get in it as a higher ranking member. I wouldn't mind being in the same group with hero's if it gave better chances to get in, but better luck next time I guess. Good luck to those that made it in!  |

People keep talking about Ethereum here. I just feel like saying that the ICO boom is never happening again.  |

This campaign has been quite adventurous in the last few days. I'll have to catch up with some things and maybe lock this thread or at least update the OP.

Halving will be for sure the biggest thing what will affect the whole crypto market. Second big think what I am waiting for is ETF that could be finally launched next year.
It's kinda sad that this is the biggest thing because it's nothing something a group workef together to make and it was set in stone from bitcoin's beginnt even. Progress on tech is also there, I just hope lightning would see more acceptance but that just can't be for surem |

Phishing is very common still with BTC related websites. Thanks for pointing it out op...

Overzealous prosecutors are looking to make a name for themselves sometimes. That guy could have gotten away with a slap of the wrist even if what he did was illegal. The thing is, if you scrutinize it too much, the maximum sentence looks more likely all of a sudden.

If crypto couldn't be supported by the technology people had access to, then we would also have other problems. Crypto currency depends on basic technologies to sustain itself. It doesn't need the best computers or the best miners. It was designed to work with CPUs and hard drives of home users. Later phones, etc.

A lot of member here spams here for getting backlink. I guess that's what he is doing as well. The referral link he shared in his article is common practice for most of the bloggers.
Most CPA marketers either do guest posting or forum posting to have some backlink for ranking up a keyword. That doesn't mean he is sharing the link for having leads.
The guy you referred are having backlink as well, so that's can't be marked as spam; although it is. If it is marked as spam by mods, I guess a lot of articles will be deleted.
Well, referral is much more than just posting a link. To earn form referral links you'd have somebody to visit and take a series of actions. While ranking a page just by posting a link is very much more indirect. For both reasons though, I have suggested to remove the privilege of posting links form new users. |

DT members, and especially on DT1, should be heavily scrutinized by the community for such things not to be so easy to pull off. Agreed. But DT1 changes monthly, DT2 changes continuously, and individual Trust lists can change at any moment too. It's very time consuming to keep track of all bad actions all the time. I'd say that in this context, tools are the best utility the community could have to assist in policing DT and activity like "back scratching" by making easier to hunt for anomalies. I'm just wondering, since you say it's time consuming, is the access to trust activity developers can have to build their tools sufficient? And how resource intensive would be a tool that could make matters easier for such abuses in DT? |

To be honest, I don't see ETH doing that well lately. It had a big rally but that only acts as more resistance. Lately, when BTC price goes down a little, ETH traders seem to be much more bearish, exaggerating all negative moves with a greater margin. To me, this is a very bad sign. Maybe not 70$ in the immediate future, but we could see much lower prices than the ones in current levels not long from now.

It's uncertain to me if BTCtalk has a clear policy on the issue. It seems like it's one of those things that would be under each mod's discretion, no? On some boards maybe moderators would tolerate a referral link if it was disclosed and the user actually offers valuable content aside of it. But if it's posted by someone that does nothing else other than posting referral links, I think that the rule should definitely not allow such behavior no matter how relaxed interpretation would be otherwise.

Props to Loyce for discovering things like this... The trust system has a few weaknesses and I guess 'back scratching' could be considered one. DT members, and especially on DT1, should be heavily scrutinized by the community for such things not to be so easy to pull off.

You could DIY on GCP here's a free $300 credit, if you like it ill sell you a 100,000.00 credit for a nice discount. spark. You can do lots of things with a 100k credit with your technical expertise. Loyce I also sell high end enterprise grade stuff irl. I have things in hand people never get to see unless its rented instances. I could in theory just sell you a nice server that meets your spec requirements at a nice discount and you slap it in your office or something Crowdfund it. Ill self escrow with you as you've been nothing but helpful to me and I get nothing but positive vibes from you. In my experience, of the cloud services from industry heads (Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle), Google is perhaps the most reliable. But not the most affordable for sure. Also, to get familiar with any cloud platform, there's a very brand specific learning curve. I think the plain-old linux VPS hosting is the best. Pre-optimized VPNs are always more affordable too in comparison to setting up a machine in a cloud service too. |

What's been happening with the FED lately is that they have taken over the repo market. It's odd to see that they would have to rush to fill the need for overnight liquidity for banks. It's for their own rules that banks had to have this liquidity, and now the free market can't provide it at an affordable rate? It's not exactly printing of money of the FED issues some bonds or buybacks to provide liquidity, but this all hints to an unsustainable system that is only a few steps behind a global crisis again. Such is fractional reserve banking.

These pages are updated manually by who is typically an engineer.
I believe theymos is the only one who handles these types of issues and if he isn’t around to deal with any problems causing downtime, he won’t be around to update any status website. Theymos also has created threads in meta advising of any downtime.
If the forum were to use one of these downtime notification websites, I would suggest statuspage.io, but the forum is really not complex enough to warrant using one IMO.
A status page would be good IMO because currently there aren't any official channels to know if the forum is facing issues other that bitcointalk itself. There is a twitter account but it's very sparsely updated. It wouldn't matter if it's manually updated, so long as it's accessible and functional when other components of the site aren't. It can also have some functions updated programmatically that would turn red if for example the DNS was unaccesible, or clouldflare was slow etc... |

Regulation can't stop businesses from moving in territories it doesn't apply to. It also can't stop residents where it applies to to stop using those online businesses. Online blocks are so easily circumvented. All bad regulation will do is drive businesses and revenues away... If those websites wanted to continue operations they could. perhaps they will. maybe it's a legal requirement to rebrand.

I would say none, at least none unless BTC also does. Currency bitcoin seems very bearish and it'd be almost impossible for any cryptocurrency to break above a bearish sentiment over bitcoin, especially provided that crypto market movements are so highly correlated.

I'm not in support of this. Dormant accounts already got screwed over by the merit update, now having to put in much more work in order to rank up even if they had the potential activity. Also, the removal of already acquired merit wouldn't do much in that regard. We're not talking about enable merit, but rather total merit. You can't remove more than the already earner rank, and I think it'd be unfair to remove base metrit based on the future activity. The merit drop's criteria where applied when it took place, no need to go back at it with new criteria.
