Very good scores, guys! Congrats! Let me help you posting the full images with your scores, as your ranks do not allow you yet. Vomi and Dr.Strange, I noticed that you also used height and width arguments in your img command. This is very good, for new users like you, to know about these arguments. However, the correct (and easiest) way for showing your pictures in a nice manner is to use just the "height" argument, as I explained before: In order to do that, you have to add a "height=300" or "height=250" after "img". Just like in the following code sequence: [img height=300]https://img001.prntscr.com/file/img001/Iu-fii5uRqKcZRRh2OY3dw.png[/img]
[...] Thank you for the hand of help you are giving me here, with posting these users' images 
[...] These are, indeed, very good materials. Thank you for mentioning them here. Additionally, I'd also like to mention two more topics which are very useful for beginners: Bitcointalk posting etiquette[TIPS] to avoid pyramid quotes (for Newbies) |

I watch a lot of NFL football and college basketball passing the time. I also gamble a little on gamdom when I have extra funds. I also play a couple games on my phone to pass the time, but none of that keeps me outta my head. It is good to hear that you do something, though, for covering time passing, something which gives you pleasure. Yes, I forgot to say in my earlier post about watching TV, maybe a game and so on. It's good that you have a TV there. Also, none of it gets me up and moving around. It's nuts to have a person who is capable of walking to lay flat 24/7. Dear yahoo62278, I know, it's hard... I remember though that, at some point back in my life, I had to face a similar situation. I was in my first grade at the elementary school. Practically, my very first year of being student, a young 6 years old student. In October or November (practically just 1-2 months after school started) I was at my neighbor (there were two brothers and a sister with a similar age) to play and, without having any adult to supervise us, while being in children's room, we got up on the wardrobe. When the moment to get down arrived, the brothers said they will jump from the wardrobe on the bed. The sister (which was 3-4 years older) started to scream to not jump on the bed, because we'll break it etc. Needless to say, they jumped on the bed but I, being shy, jumped directly on the floor. Somehow, when I landed, my legs were spread apart at 180 degrees, one of them being under the wardrobe. I did not realize that my leg is under the wardrobe, due to the pain of having my legs spread at 180 degrees and I tried to get up. At that point I heard a crack and there I was - my leg was broken. At the hospital I found that my tibia was broken in three places. My leg was covered in gypsum and I was forced to lay down, just like you, 24/7. At some point it came out that first doctor, which covered my leg in gypsum, did not do the correct job when he tried to align my bones so I had to go back to the hospital and live again the procedure. Then lay even more on my bed. If I remember well, I was immobilized on the bed for two or three months. I don't remember everything very well as it's been more than three decades since then, but I remember that I felt like I cound not stand still anymore. The skin under the gypsum was itchy; I felt like scratching it all the time, but I could not even put my fingers under the gypsum... Going to bathroom was also out of talking about... Luckily, I was small enough and mom and my grandma were taking me to bathroom by carrying me in their arms, while trying to keep my leg still... Of course, the main struggle was that I could not do anything the entire time. I did not even had cartoon networks channel (cable TV came in Romania in 1994 or 1996 and, while my leg was broken, we were still in Ceausescu era). Romanian television was functional like 2h/day in the morning and 2-3h/day during evenings and all you could see were some news and, maybe, some materials which were not interesting at all for a 6 years old one. I remember that, in some days, with the TV antenna we could watch a Bulgarian television and they were also showing animated cartoons sometimes. I guess that I watched that Bulgarian station for so long that I even learned some Bulgarian. During day time grandma used to ask a child or two, from our neighbors, to come to us for playing some games with me. While these friends were around time always flied away. I could never realize how fast time was passing and, soon, they had to return to their homes for eating, doing home work given by their teacher and so on. And I was alone again... Mom was also playing with me, of course, but she also had other chores to do, take care of the house, prepare food and so on... So I was laying there, just like you. This is why I am saying that I understand how you feel... I stayed there these 2-3 months and, when I returned to school, I still could not walk, as I even forgot to walk and, also, my leg was very fragile. It was winter and it was snow everywhere and mom was taking me to school using a sleigh... I lost almost 25% of my first year at school but, fortunately, I managed to do my lessons (in all this while mom was talking to my teacher and she was instructed on what my colleagues were taught at school thus she would teach me at home too). And, also fortunately, I managed to not be held back in the same grade. I returned to school, I got my marks and life went on. This is the most important thing to remember: life goes on! It gives us many good moments, but also struggles. But, after dealing with all these struggles we become stronger. Keep your head up, dear yahoo62278! All my best wishes are headed toward you! |

dada, am găsit recent contul Ei, cate sanse erau sa se intample sa ceva? Sa regasesti un cont de pe acest forum dupa 11 ani?!  Mi se pare de domeniul fantasticului... In orice caz, bine ai (re)venit! Ar trebui sa te pui un pic la punct cu regulile forumului, pentru a te asigura ca vei actiona in conformitate si, de asemenea, sa te acomodezi cu un mod elegant de a scrie. De pilda, am vazut ca in postarea anterioara ai citat tot ce scrisesem eu in alta postare, desi nu era totul relevant pentru noua ta postare. In cazul tau, ar fi trebuit sa pui in citat doar partea aceasta: Multumesc frumos! Esti roman? Mi se pare incredibil ca un utilizator din 2011 scrie aici (culmea, fiind si unul care are doar 8 postari). Acum, daca ai fi si roman, asta ar fi prea de tot! Oo Sau, daca esti in situatia in care o postare anterioara este una foarte lunga, dar toata relevanta, pentru a nu o cita in intregime, poti scrie doar asta: [...] Iti recomand sa citesti acest ghid, care te va invata mai multe despre cum se folosesc citatele: [TIPS] to avoid pyramid quotes (for Newbies).

Been sitting in this dang hospital 11 days now and going a little crazy just being able to lay here. My dear yahoo62278, first of all I want to say that it's good to see you here, posting something. I was wondering about your condition during last days, seeing that your last post was made on January 8th. Needless to say, many of us were wondering about your well being for all this time... I believe you that the struggle is enormous because you are coerced to just lay down on a hospital bed. But why don't you try to fill your time with something that would get your attention that much that you won't even feel time passing...? I suggested you, in an earlier post, to try to read some books. Books are very good friends in situations when you don't know what to do anymore to fill your time... Another suggestion I have (it just crossed my mind now) is to recommend you to try play some games on your phone, no matter how childish this sounds. Why don't you try to play some chess or backgammon or whatever addictive game you like? Or maybe a game reminding you of your youth...? If you want I can recommend you a nice backgammon application, which has elo system implemented, tournaments and even in-game chat. Please don't take me wrong, I understand that your condition is very difficult and I have no interest in looking like I don't realize that. I do. And I am giving you these suggestions precisely hoping that they may help you endure time passing... I wish you all the best! |

Your achievements and overall contribution to the forum is quite simply outstanding. Congratulations I hasten to congratulate you again, my friend! Thank you both; you are both very kind!
You have been major source for good in the forum over the years and I am sure I speak for many others when I say that. I hope you will be around for a long time to come and you will keep contributing for the forum in the positive manner you have been. Thank you again, JollyGood! I am trying to do my best for the forum and also for its users. (And, of course, for me as well -- being here represented a huge opportunity for me to learn many new things!)
What I can say is that I have even more respect for you Although our paths did not cross too much during time, I can also say the same about you. I noticed your activity inside the forum and I am sorry that we did not have the chance to exchange too many replies under same topics (but maybe this will change ). Still, your presence was always noticed by me I also learned, by pure chance, about your past, when a temporary ban was close to stop you from... how to say? -- from being you! I also saw your appeal and, when I saw there how many scam cases you exposed I felt amazed. Although the ban happened a long time before I was reading your topic and your appeal, it felt like I was there, assisting live at your appeal... And, at the end, I was so happy to see that you received a second chance! Perhaps without you many other scammers would have found shelter here... you are not only a great reporter who works at the speed of light, but all your posts are good and quality content. It is evident that you are not indifferent to what you are talking about, and I want to express my deep gratitude to you. Thank you! I have to admit that I put a lot of passion in what I am writing. As you saw, many of my topics are related to Bitcoin, its history, its predecessors, Cypherpunks or they are educative threads. I have to say that, when the idea of a topic comes into my mind, sometimes days or even weeks pass until that topic comes to life (and, in some cases, even months). That is because I keep thinking about how to properly organize it; then, after few days another idea comes to me -- I write it down; then I am rearranging (inside my head) the whole topic and how it should finally look like. And after this "prep phase" I finally get to writing it down, which, again, takes me a lot of time. I am always careful to the words I choose, the formatting, punctuation, alignment and so on. Then I do proof reading for 2-3 times... And only after all these steps I press "Post" button. And yes, all these take a lot of times, this is why passion is needed I see you as a very kind and open person Blushing  I am happy to know you see me this way! you are also a good poster. Talented people are talented in everything.
My respect! You are also a very kind person, lovesmayfamilis. Your presence always inspires well being. At least, for me. (And, of course, not for scammers ) And you also have an amazing talent, at finding all these scammers or abusers of the system. This is rare. It's like a natural inclination of yours. Bravo for that! (I will end here this post but, before doing it, I just remembered something funny: there was a topic where you were talking to a new user (I think he also made some mistakes, if I remember well) and you were trying to explain him something. And, after a few posts were exchanged between you and him, he says: "Thank you Sir lovesmayfamilis!". And you say: "Sir???  " -- it amused me very much reading that =))) And even before reading your reply, only by reading his, I told myself "I wonder how lovesmayfamilis will react seeing she was called <<Sir>>" Then your reaction came right after this and I almost laughed seeing your angry emoji. I hope this made you laugh as well ) |

Fryx Finance review1. The first impression the website offered me was that it looks too simplistic. It's simply plain text, white (and orange) text on black, with no animation, nothing fancy, nothing to entertain the users. The UI needs to be nicer. Maybe adding also a light theme would be a good idea. 2. The site is so simplistic that it doesn't even have a Home button. There are also some sections which are missing but they are common sense for any other website. Among others, there are no "Contact", "Terms & Conditions", "Privacy", "Disclaimer" sections. Social media links are not a must, but many websites add them as well. 3. The website is localized only in English. 4. The website works fine with Tor, which represents a plus. However, I did not see any .onion address for it. 5. There is also no "About" section. Practically, there is no information about who runs the site, nor about how to contact the developers, in case a customer needs their support. 6. The site says If we can't fulfil your entire order, we will refund the amount that was not exchanged. I don't know if this actually works. Some tests should be done here, but I don't know if anybody has such big amounts to exchange (and also such big guts). 7. There is also a typo in the above sentence, as the term "fulfil" should be written as "fulfill". 8. At "API" section there are multiple words written with underlined font which makes the user believe they are hyperlinks. However, they are not. 9. Still at the "API" section, at the bottom of the page there are two more sections listed - Assets and Markets. However, their positioning inside the page is not aesthetic at all:  Perhaps they should be rearranged somehow or placed in another location as, right now, their arrangement does not look well at all, compared with the nice table which is just above them. 10. The "Login" page contains only a field for "login"... but none for entering a password (assuming the email is the user name). How does this login work? By simply inserting the email used for registration and that's all, no password required? If so, then if a user knows the registration email of another user, he will be able to login using second user's email, simply by typing it inside "Login" field? 11. Still at "Login" page, I see that there is no option to delete the account. Practically, once a user creates an account on this website, his account will remain there forever? (This also implies that developers will always keep user's email in their database?) I will end here this feedback, but I will come back in case I will find any other bug on the website or in case I'll have more suggestions. I hope this helps.

i blahed it for a reasons..
i blahed it because it was unrelated to the subject lines. it was as if you were trying to throw as many words as you can at a wall and see which one sticks. Actually, it was. There were two subjects in parallel. - at first, 1miau alleged that " when there are no rules, chaos will arise" - from here, I tried to explain that, out from chaos, spontaneous order may arise: Let's start with the chaos part. You say that "when there are no rules, chaos will arise". However, my dear 1miau, let's first remember what chaos is. And the simplest definition of chaos is that it represents "the perfect disorder". It's a disorder so well organized that you can see an order inside it. Does that make any sense? So, if chaos is a perfectly ordered disorder, what is the order? It is the cause of disorder. For example, we can say that the Universe, in its continuous expansion, it's just a combination of progressive disorder. But this disorder, as it expands itself, creates new orders and each of these orders can be identified with the initial order. So even inside chaos, which is disorder in its pure form, order is created. Therefore why would it be so bad for chaos to arise? All disorders will lead to new orders, in the future... - from here another post followed, about the above mentioned spontaneous order: However, I have a different view here... There is a concept name Spontaneous order. It implies that people, by themselves, can organize themselves, even without an authority leading them to do it. Just like in the example with the overcrowded shop. From something which looks like chaos, with no visible order, a new order appears and people organize themselves, in order to be able to find their products on the shelves, pick them up, pay for them and go home. Peacefully. - and from here I made an association between spontaneous order and catallaxy: And catallaxy can be seen into Bitcoin as well. According to Austrian school economist Friedrich Hayek, catallaxy is "the order brought about by the mutual adjustment of many individual economies in a market". From obvious reasons, since people associate by will, we can also say that catallaxy is a part of praxeology. - and, since I mentioned also the praxeology, it was natural to define it, although it was not related to the subject; this is why I did not insist on talking about it: I will not enter in deep details about praxeology; it should suffice to say that praxeology is the science of human actions and it implies all the actions made by humans for a purpose. Uncontrollable actions, such as coughing or sneezing are not part of praxeology, as they are reflexive actions. So, as you see, there was a logic between all subject lines. Perhaps it was too difficult to follow it, but it existed. hr] I'm not convinced that has much, if anything, to do with Bitcoin, though. Order didn't just occur all by itself. [...]
Not spontaneity. Pure incentive. Perhaps reading the upper part of this post may help you understand the connection I had in my mind for saying that? |

Aici a fost greseala user-ului, nu a binance. Adica eu ii zic curierului ca imi duca coletul la Bucuresti, el mi-l duce la Iasi, dar eu sunt de vina el nu stie sa citeasca?! Buna asta. Lol. Tare rau replica, NeuroticFish! Imi plac maxim utilizatorii acestia meteorici, care mai apar, din cand in cand, si pe la "noi"; dau cateva bombe de prostie monumentala apoi dispar definitiv. La fel a facut si predecesorul sau -- MrLiveSupport. saxydev, dupa ce logica a gresit utilizatorul? Care este firul tau logic de gandire? Tu-mi ceri mere, eu iti dau pere, si e vina ta, ca nu mi-ai cerut pere de la inceput? Oo
Neah, mergem pe legacy. Mergem? Care noi?
Fuck the segwit. Multumim domnului Black ca a venit peste noapte cu a lui companie si a impus solutia salvatoare pentru btc spre propriul sau avantaj. Domnul Black fiind cine, compania fiind care si solutia salvatoare constand in ce?!
Una peste alta, segwit a facut mai rau ecosystemului decat bine Si spui asta bazat pe ce?
Cu link-urile astea ce e? Unul e scris de Charlie Lee, fondatorul Litecoin, iar celalalt este un topic de pe forum. Ce legatura au cu ce ai scris tu?!
Litecoin spre exemplu este tot timpul prins in jocul politic cu oameni precum Luke sau Garzik care se cred zmei, pana la urma tot cu mizeria de bip91 am ramas, macar am incasat bani gratis lol. Esti haotic... Sari de la un subiect la altul fara nicio noima...
Sunt de acord cu schimbarea, dar schimbarea cand apare doar pentru interesul unora, nu ar trebui sa ne convina. Cu ce schimbare esti de acord? Si ce schimbare este pentru interesul unora? Si care este acel interes? Si cine sunt cei cuprinsi in " unora"?
Neah, mergem pe legacy. Este o lume libera. Fiecare "merge pe" ce vrea. Daca tii neaparat sa continui sa folosesti Legacy, poti linistit. Eu merg pe apa cu vin
Sunt de acord cu schimbarea, dar schimbarea cand apare doar pentru interesul unora, nu ar trebui sa ne convina. Faptul ca tie nu iti convine, nu inseamna ca altora nu le convine. SegWit a deschis calea spre LN. Tu poti sa le folosesti (SegWit si LN) sau nu. Unii le folosesc, alti nu. Tu esti mai marinimos, ca de obicei, si chiar incerci sa dai sens cuvintelor landra aruncate de cineva care n-are nicio noima nici in ganduri, nici in scris Dar, daca te uiti la postarea lui, asa in ansamblu, este un talmes-balmes complet. |

Hello, it's me! Mario! ehm sorry... turtlecute!! Welcome! Now i lowered my ratio posting much more on BTCTalk but few days ago my ratio was near 4  Your ratio is still very good but take into account my earlier post: do not feel disappointed if it will lower even more. Having such a big merits vs. posts ratio is unnatural and almost impossible if you keep posting, on the long run. If you'll look well at the graph, you'll see that multiple of those which have very big such ratios are also inactive for a long time now... Take satoshi for example. but @filippone created this thread atfer some days we discovered my ratio and now im not in the ladder  I think you are, but your small blue sphere from the graph is overlapped by another one. I tried to search for you, for a few minutes, but I did not find you. Yet I did not have much more time to search. I believe that, if you'll search well, you'll find yourself. I managed to find myself and I have a lower ratio than yours, so certainly you are there too
Mario, you are a great bitcoiner but eewww your quoting habits are quite awful.
Just quite relevan part of the posts, or don’t include at all if you are answering to the previous post! This is something which happens to most of new members, let's be patient with him. turtlecute, you should take a look at this topic: [TIPS] to avoid pyramid quotes (for Newbies). It is well explained how to properly and aesthetically use the quotes. Additionally, the sticky topics from Meta should also be a must-read for you. I hope this helps |

If you can quote like that, it will look great. Thank you for emphasizing this and congrats for your very good score! P.S.: you may also want to edit the entire quotation of Negotiation's post You can make it to look just like this, in order to use less space: [...]
I participated in the quiz and got 16 out of 21. This is a very good score for someone new. Let me help you with posting the full image of your score. 
My Quiz score And again, a very good score! Congrats! I also noticed that you used an argument for the BBCode command img -- I mean that you wrote img width=400. Your intentions were good, but the secret is to set the height, not the width. If you set the height, the width will auto-adjust. You should use this format: [img height=300]https://i.imgur.com/o0rXK1Z.jpg[/img] Of course, your rank does not allow you yet to post pictures but there is nothing wrong to learn this trick now I will also help you with posting the full image of your score, as your rank does not allow you to do it.  |

I also supported the flag.
Flag supported. As I am not active on the Collectibles board, this is my first time reading about this. It would be helpful for someone to provide a brief summary or TLDR; on the Reputation board. Long story short: - yogg is the manager of Cold Key cards project - after a period of depression, when he did not have motivation anymore to continue the project and stalled customers' (already paid) orders he decides to resume his work though - at some point he realizes that he kept a back-up of private keys for an entire series of cards - for unknown reasons (some saying he is addicted to gambling) he decides to cash-out all the BTC stored on those cards (the cards were in the possession of their owners) - someone realizes that his card was emptied and runs a topic in Reputation board: My Cold Keys Just Got Swiped! All Halving Sets!!- yogg admits his unthinkable gesture- according to krogoth, yogg stole 0.00625 BTC from each card, total prejudice being around 50.000$ - end of story. |

sorted the users according to descending Received Merit/Post ratio I was also thinking if such statistics can be made. Good job, fillippone! Having more merits than posts may happen (in those cases named by 1miau as "hit and run", meaning a low ranking user which gets a ton of merits for one post then he leaves the forum) but keeping such a ratio on the long run is almost impossible. Furthermore, if even in "normal conditions" this is something hard to achieve, for those which created their accounts before merit system was implemented -- for these ones it's almost impossible. And the statistics you presented also show how few users are those with more merits than posts. Thank you for these statistics!
The second graph unfortunately has the wrong link (both link to the first graph's source). [...] I found myself in this little 'bump' with Rath_, icopress and GazetaBitcoin! It worked for me. I found us (you, icopress and I) here: 
I thought nullius would be on the list, as I remember he would consistently earn merits with nearly every post he made, but after checking his profile I guess I was mistaken. I managed to find nullius on the graph:  He still has a merit vs. posts ratio bigger than 1, as he has 2582 merits and 2544 posts.
I have recently been congratulating a new user on the italian board for his astonishing Merit/Post ratio. This particular user is a well known expert user in the italian community, and already provided good content here on the forum, where he’s new. So this ratio is quite expected. So who is this user? You never said his name, yet you started your topic by talking about him |

I have noted it and I will do it next time, thank you. I have just done one for the first time. Glad I helped you learning something new If you think it's useful, you can also take a look over my updated topic about how to upload images on the forum How to post images from imgur (Jr. Members and up) -- Revamped
It was very fun and informative guiz. definitely improved my knowledge about Bitcoin and Forum I am glad to hear! that Hhampuz's father option made me laugh lol. Looooooooool that was icopress' idea =))) I laughed a lot too!

Thank you, if I had any sMerit, I'd send some.  Hehe, thank you anyway It looks like this report is actually calculating the number of times a post was merited, which is apparently why the column was named "Times Merited", not total merit received, so the wording here may be confusing. Oh I understand now... it figures. Not sure if this deserves a new report or if we should change this one to actually count the total merit received? I think this is up to you and suchmoon... After all, you are the ones working on this website and only you know how much work such change would need Either way, at least we know now what those numbers represent. And regarding the other two issues I raised (the ones from 1. and 2.) do you have any news?
Excepting that, I observed one more inconsistency, as it follows: sometimes when I click on "Refresh Profile" button, the "profile's numbers" update on the profile page, but not also through the site. By "profile numbers" I mean, for example, the number of earned merits -- so this number is updated. However, if I rank up a few positions on the ladder of "Most merit" or "Most earned merit", this rank up is not reflected on the website, nor on the upper part of the profile page (the one with badges). I will try explain this step by step, in case it's easier to understand. - step 1: I know that I have 3411 merits and I am the 57th user with most merits; let's suppose that the user from 56th position has 3412 merits. At same time, I am also the 45th user with most earned merits. Let's suppose that the one from 44th place has 3413 merits. This information is properly shown on the profile page:  - step 2: I receive 3 merits. At this point, I know (in my mind) that I have more merits than the user which was earlier on 56th place on Most Merit ladder and also than the one from 44th place from Most Earned Merit ladder - step 3: I click on "Refresh Profile" and the new number of merits is now shown on my bpip profile (under "Merit" and "Earned" sections) Result: although the correct number of merits is shown on bpip profile page, my new achieved positions on both ladders (Most Merit and Most Earned Merit) -- meaning 56th most merited and 44th user with most earned merits -- are not updated. The badges from the upper part of the page are also not updated and they still show that I am on 57th place (instead of 56th) on Most Merit ladder and 45th on Most Earned Merit ladder (instead of 44th). If I access both ladders ( https://bpip.org/Report?r=mostmerit and https://bpip.org/Report?r=earnedmerit), I am also shown as the 57th / 45th ( and with the number of merits not refreshed), instead of 56th / 44th. It's like the refreshed number of merits is reflected only on the bpip profile page and does not propagate through the rest of the website. I am not sure if same happens also with the other badges / ladders. Of course, after a while the refreshed information is propagated through the entire site. I just wanted to emphasize that it does not happen after "Refresh Profile" button is pressed. |

don't throw Wikipedia back at me without double-checking [...]
You quoted the deaths from 1939, there were no deaths in 1989, only hoaxes I did not spend too much time to search for victims just to show you... I am sure that, if I dug more on this search I could had find some articles presenting those victims. I won't do it though, as it's pointless. And that means losing control? Yes, this is what it means. Each time you press "Send" on your Bitcoin wallet, that is another transaction uncontrolled by the State and by anyone else excepting you. I get what you desire but you somehow think we already have this, and no, you're daydreaming at this point, nowhere close! I may be, yet same was also the one who dreamed in 2011 that BTC's price will reach hundreds then thousands (of dollars) and his word became true in the future. There is nothing to stop us dreaming and wishing the best for Bitcoin. Are they still playing with interest rates, are they still influencing inflation, are they still deciding deficits and budgets, are they still the ones deciding taxes on crypto, are they still the ones that can send you to prison or hand you a fine for not paying them? If yes, then they are still in control! Perhaps you did not understand about what "control" I was talking about. Yes, the State still controls the country, through its long arms, such as State agencies; through taxes; through the laws it issues and so on. But what it can't control anymore is its citizen when they use Bitcoin. When they make transactions without the knowledge of the State. When the gardener sells his cucumbers to his neighbor and the neighbor pays with BTC and nobody in the world can stop him from pressing "Send" from his wallet. People control their (crypto) finances now. If banks decide to freeze their accounts, they can always use Bitcoin to solve their financial problems. They control their wallets and what's inside them is 100% theirs and there is no trusted third party needed to allow them to use their money as they please.
When I read your articles, I'm always reminded of Alex Gladstein writing similar articles. I have to admit, I am not familiar with the subject. Thank you for sharing this with me and also thank you for associating my writing style with Alex Gladstein's! Or did you know that France is still controlling monetary decisions of 15 African nations? I was not aware about this (very high) number either. I know that France, Spain, Holland and other countries still exert some power on some small countries, which were their colonies a long while ago, but I did not know that France has that much power Oo
So, we can see: Bitcoin is a great tool for people living under authoritarian regimes. It might be hard for us to imagine how it is to live under an authoritarian regime or a very poor country and for those people, Bitcoin can make a big difference. Bitcoin can really help people is such countries to WIN a bloodless revolution and improve their lives massively. This is true. In multiple occasions, people which were facing big struggles in their countries turned to Bitcoin. It happened in Greece, in 2013, if I'm not mistaken, when banks did not allow people to cash out their money. It happened also in Catalonia, in their attempt to become independent from Spain. And Amir Taaki, the famous Bitcoin developer and creator of (among others) Libbitcoin, DarkWallet, DarkMarket and OpenBazaar brought Bitcoin to people of Rojava for helping them during their own revolution... |

I have just taken part in the quiz my result is shown below Congrats for your perfect score! I don't remember anyone else obtaining a pure 21/21 until now Bravo! (I just saw that another user just managed to get another 21/21! Wow! Nevertheless, the "Bravo!" is still yours ) And I also thank you for posting the scores of those members which had ranks not allowing them to do it. Other than that, I would recommend you that, when you post images, to resize them to a smaller scale, in order to not cover the entire screen. I would not expect that from users which lower ranks, but I would expect it from you though In order to do that, you have to add a "height=300" or "height=250" after "img". Just like in the following code sequence: [img height=300]https://img001.prntscr.com/file/img001/Iu-fii5uRqKcZRRh2OY3dw.png[/img]
Poor results but I think I learnt a lot like the first local board to be granted is the Russian board And I am sure you learned other things as well! Here, let me post the full image for you, as your rank does not allow you. 
I really appreciate your work. Thank you and congratulations for obtaining a perfect 21/21 score |

Doar ca din pacate, cum ai vazut in sectiunea internationala, lumea poate (chiar foarte usor) sa "iti sara la gat" pentru unele inexactitati mai degraba nesemnificative si sa piarda esenta... Dap, si uite asa se ajunge sa nu se mai vada padurea de copaci. Si, iata, se si adeveresc vorbele IntimitatiiG: Uneori, mai ales dacă într-un subiect de discuţie sunt cel puţin pe jumătate oameni dintr-aceştia 'buni', mă simt cumva ca şi cum îmi suflă cineva în ceafă când scriu un răspuns, pentru că ştiu că toţi sunt pregătiţi cu ţevile drept în ceafa mea în caz că zic ceva incorect. Din fericire ( pentru mine) insa, (1) nu mai sunt un utilizator incepator, adica unul usor de timorat ( -- am pus acest zambet, insa situatia asa se prezinta, de cele mai multe ori, cu cei noi) si, de asemenea (2) am invatat si eu treaba asta de la un om intelept: Grow a thicker skin [...]
Nu stiu cati ar avea o vedere de ansamblu suficient de buna pentru o analiza mai corecta decat a mea (ca a mea, desi o doresc corecta, este doar cum simt eu ca stau lucrurile), dar las la latitudinea ta daca merita sau nu incercat.
Mi-e ca prea multi o sa se cramponeze in componenta speculativa si de teapa a monedelor alternative, de exemplu... Ummm, sa stii ca ai dreptate. Am tot stat sa ma gandesc la treaba ceasta si cred ca cel mai bine ar fi daca ai scrie chiar tu un asemenea eseu. Unul din motive l-ai mentionat chiar tu -- este imposibil ca un om sa poata scrie ceva ce gandeste altul, intrucat nu are cum sa-i cunoasca toate gandurile, perceptia etc. Si, ca urmare, oricat de mult s-ar stradui acel om sa faca o treaba buna, primul s-ar putea sa nu fie multumit. Si nu as vrea sa ma aflu in aceasta situatie Al doilea motiv este legat tot de primul: tu stii cel mai bine cum gandesti lucrurile, NeuroticFish, astfel incat ti le poti si structura intr-o maniera care ti se va parea tie ca fiind optima. Eu, de pilda, cand am in minte sa scriu un topic mai amplu, pana sa ma apuc de scris stiu ca imi pun gandurile in ordine timp de cateva zile (poate si saptamani). Imi mai vin idei, le notez; sterg altele; mai scriu despre o rearanjare a ordinii de redactare a ideilor si tot asa. Topicul la care te gandesti mi se pare foarte interesant dar, scris de mine, nu cred ca s-ar ridica la asteptarile tale intrucat fiecare vede, in fond, lucrurile prin perspectiva proprie.
Mai am si eu uneori momente de inspiratie Hihi!
foarte interesanta postarea pentru comunitatea romaneasca, felicitari ! Multumesc frumos! Esti roman? Mi se pare incredibil ca un utilizator din 2011 scrie aici (culmea, fiind si unul care are doar 8 postari). Acum, daca ai fi si roman, asta ar fi prea de tot! Oo |

It is a great disappointment to see a user with a very strong reputation on the forum to do such an unthinkable gesture. yogg has a +30 Trust score (and, I believe, before this incident his Trust score was even greater). He was active on the forum for almost a decade and his reputation preceded him. His project -- Cold Key cards -- was impressive and he also organized a great contest in parallel with the 10th anniversary of the forum. I said all these without ever interacting with him; I only saw his activity inside the forum. And I can say that I was impressed by tenacity shown regarding his project. However, without following his activity, I remember that, at some point, I saw a post made by him where he was saying that he has no motivation to continue the project. He seemed very depressed. Unfortunately, I can't find that post anymore. However, I found another post, where he was apologizing for his behavior and, without knowing the real situation, I believe that he did not deliver some already paid cards (highlight is mine). Really I would like to thank everyone expecting items from me for the last year for your understanding and patience.
No one chose to take the refunds I offered, everyone preferred to wait it through and get the Coldkeys. [...]
Some of you are still waiting for me to get back to them.
I chose to take care of the outstanding orders in a specific way, so expect a message from me shortly.
I present to you my humblest apologies for how unprofessionally the situation was handled on my end.
This will not repeat itself. I know why that happened, and I'm rebuilding everything in a way to prevent that from happening. Now even without personally knowing yogg (meaning that I could not know about the gambling addiction mentioned here by others), only from the forum, this first incident would represent a serious alarm trigger for me. However, he moved on apparently -- and only apparently -- until now. Once more, the words I said a while ago represented a sad truth: The bigger the reputation is, the bigger chances are for an user to make a transaction. As well, the opposite is true: an attempt of scam or a violation of a contract may ruin a reputation.
If at the first incident people still gave him some more credibility, he did not take advantage of that. For some reasons, yogg chose to completely ruin his reputation here. It is very unfortunate as, excepting his reputation he also lost his project, his customers, his incomes and so on. I believe his project was working well and, with some moderation, he was able to live from it. Now this chance is gone and, if he really has a gambling addiction then, most likely, even the scammed money will be soon gone. And even if he will pay back all scammed victims, this will not change things back to the way they were. Maybe some will delete their negative feedbacks; maybe the flag created on his name will become inactive; yet none of these will give him the most important thing he lost: his credibility. |
