I'm not talking about the number of reports being stuck but the percentage.

So maybe is it an error? I'm stuck at   : You have reported 79 posts with 74% accuracy    

I doubt it. As BadBear said percentages move quickly when you have few reports and barely noticable when you have >1000 reports. IIRC hilariousandco is at >1900 reports probably more now.

Lets assume 97.0000% of these are correct, thats 1843 correct and 57 not. In order to reach 97.5% (I assume thats when 98% will be shown) he would have to make 2223 total correct reports vs 57 bad. Thats 380 good reports without fail.

For 79 posts with ~74.6835% assumed accuracy (59 good, 20 bad) you only need 1 good report (60/(60+20) = 75%)



does he have that many? makes sense if the % doesn't move up all that much when you are at 97%. maybe he was at 97% and has since reported with 97% accuracy since.

Question - Why is Prime Dice in Active category and why is Dicebitcoin in CFNP category? Both of them are open for select category of users (Staff in PD, Legendary in Dicebitcoin). So I guess both of them should be in the same category.

yeah i noticed that as well. both are open to legendaries/staff, which do not occupy slots. i'd say dicebitco.in should be left in the "open" category, especially if a legendary member is looking for a new campaign.

if i were a scammer, i'd probably do it on silkroad - it's way easier to prey on druggies looking for their next score. maybe not everyone on SR is like that, but i'm pretty sure there are lots of them. they make the most irrational decisions after all.

SR was a great playground to try some scamming I agree. A lot of people who have no clue.

and don't forget gamblers too.. they have issues similar to druggies. they can't control themselves. and the thing about it is, if you don't scam them, they'll lose their money either way.

but nah, i'm too honest to scam anyone. just a thought experiment.

sometimes i think there should be a PM for every account that is created that answers all these questions that get ask repeatedly. it would save the mods and people who answer a lot of time. maybe you guys do already send a PM? i haven't been a newbie in a while.
266  Other / Meta / Re: Has my Accuracy got stuck ? on: September 03, 2014, 05:28:49 PM
Mine hasn't budged from 97% for I think over two months and around 500-or-so posts reported. I'm starting to think something is wrong with it too.

still working for me. i've reported 3 times in the past 2 days and they are all showing up m8.

Mmm, what is accuracy? are you guys talking about activity? or its something else  Huh

talking about "report to moderator" option at the bottom right of every message. accuracy means what % that your report was correct (as in, if the post is moved after you reported it).

i don't really have a "most beautiful," especially since beauty is subjective. besides that, i think once a woman hits the "really physically attractive" territory, they're pretty much in the same grouping to me.

U dont get btc.  It has nev3r been about retail.  That is just icing.  Its abt international payment primarily b2b and remittance.  In the currency race to devalue countries will ztop trusting eachothers currency.  And the free nations will pick any alt to the yuan.

i don't think it's just B2B and remittance that makes bitcoin what it is. i know most here won't like hearing it, but illegal activity and semi-anonymity is a big feature of bitcoin. just take a look at the whole jennifer lawrence/celebrity leak incident. the guy on 4chan was asking for bitcoin because he would get away with supplying the pictures and receiving BTC without having to reveal his identity.

For those of you who loved Breaking Bad (which is pretty much everyone), do you think that the spin off show "You better call Saul" is going to be any good?



i'm thinking it will be more of a comedy than breaking bad. i mean, the main character is fucking hilarious. it'll be interesting to see if they add layers to his personality, or whether it's only going to be a shallow look at "s'all good, man."
270  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is bitcoin a failure? on: September 03, 2014, 02:36:53 AM
yes, bitcoin is a complete failure for failures who expect to triple their earnings right away. it's like some bitcoin users feel like it's some sort of privilege of theirs to triple their investments in less than 1 year.

learn patience.

sometimes i feel like the bitcoin fanatics live in this circlejerking echo chamber, and they think bitcoin is going to do a lot more than it is realistically going to do. and then there are other times when i see people who troll bitcoin.. i can't side with either party.

Good old Western culture has been done for millenias...

i'm not so sure it's "western culture" as it is an aberration of people who are sick in the mind. if you were into that kind of stuff, you'd have to do it behind closed doors, out of the public eye. i'm not sure how prevalent it is in pakistan either, so it could just be a group of cringey creeps there too.

i don't use my CPU for anything intensive, so i think i'm content with my AMD 8320 set for now. i spent $70 buying a 7770 radeon 2 years ago and i hardly play games.. so wasn't worth it.

i don't find anything he said in that article to be too outrageous.. he seems fairly reasonable. only problem is his "in 6 months" prediction, which drew the ire of many bitcoin evangelists.

Anyone else interested in the Soylent project? URL:

http://www.soylent.me/

i'm on a waiting list.. i made my order about 1 1/2 months ago and don't expect to receive it until the end of the year at the latest. the guy behind soylent is more of a techy type and less a business man. choosing the name "soylent" is kind of a bad idea since that word is synonymous with the movie about people eating/drinking other people.

but yeah, there are some videos of people who have tried soylent and only soylent for extended periods of time.. i don't remember where the video was from, probably youtube, but the guy who did it was actually healthier at the end of his trial. oh and he lost some weight and had more energy.
Cancel the order! I'm sure it's human beings in that Soylent watch the movie first OMG.

i might cancel it since a 4-6 months delay after charging me $70 is not justified. basically they are taking my money to invest, while i wait patiently for 6 months. communication has been poor and updates on estimates are not posted very often.
I would!  You just can't trust people when they say these are the ingredients. I'm sure it's not humans but who knows what's in that shit. While you are waiting for the refund check this out. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070723/

yes, i know of soylent green. it's not very smart to name your product after a movie like that, but the ingredients are listed on the package, and people have reported positive results from using it (including a few who had their health checked before and after going on a soylent-only diet for weeks). overweight people have lost weight, and by most accounts, people have more energy throughout the day.

if it's going to the moon, doesn't that imply that it's something more than just a global strategy?

Have these people been so repressed that the don't know that the rape of a child is wrong? It's the same as those who marry children. The world governments and the ordinary people really need to start standing up and telling the governments of these countries that enough is enough!!! Including our own country!!!

hey, to be fair, catholic priests pull the same shit, and they have their own cabal of secrets. i don't think it's an isolated issue with pakistan only.. it just seems that there are fewer repercussions for doing that kind of thing in that region of the world.

Would it be possible to edit my rank to reflect my newly senior status? It looks like there are still senior member/hero member spots available.

My post count should be updated to 272 to account for the 2nd post in this thread.

i think he mentioned that you will be receiving the pay scale that you were when joining, but since you're so close to the cut-off date, maybe he'll reconsider for you? i was in the same boat as you, except i didn't get in while at 238 activity.
