I bet Pittsburgh has the highest rate of coronaries and strokes right about now! Cheesy

Poor Ben, retirement was so close, now he's got to suffer through another humiliating defeat against the Chiefs.

And a really fitting end to the season for...

Chargers, the most overrated NFL team.

LN has no network wide audit/consensus that checks that all nodes/channels are all connected to the bitcoin network.
some LN users right now only have channels/nodes pegged to litecoin
True. But as far as I know, those LTC-LN-nodes won't interact with a BTC-LN-node, so even though they all use some form of LN, they won't mix up transactions.

Wasn't there a big selling point of LN during the whole block debate shitshow that among other things it will enable atomic swaps? TBH I'd be far more excited about that than merely pushing sats around - even though it doesn't fit the "BTC über alles" spirit of this forum but let's face it, shitcoining exists, and shitcoin<->BTC conversion is big business currently almost entirely monopolized by KYC and DeFi nonsense.

San Francisco 49’ers might win this in overtime. Are they in the playoff if they win? Jimmy Garappolo is playing  a very good game. He deserves another season in the team if he brings them him to the playoff, I reckon. Trey Lance might not perform like this under the same pressure.

Yes, niners are in. If they had lost, they would've been out of playoffs because Saints won today.



Stafford the Interceptor (wait, that's not quite right... the Interceptee? whatever...) tried really hard but even he was unable to screw up my match. I might be able to hold on to that 3rd place after all.

Edit: congratulations DireWolfM14 with the 2021 World League Championship title. With my strategic loss to Maddogs in the semifinals I dodged a real nail biter here:

Yeah both of the teams had to press a tie did nothing for them.  So it's Pitt and the winner of tonight's game unless it's a tie then yes both of tonight's teams get in.  If they played for a tie the rest of the league would slaughter them.  They could technically both kneel and guarantee themselves in.  Imagine being at that game 😂

What is all this chaos... I just stepped away for a few hours and Lions win, Jaguars win, even Steelers are still alive.

I need Josh Jacobs to play so drop this kneeling nonsense at once  Grin

The lottery is broken, and needs adjustment.  Or maybe it just needs to go away all together.  

A simple tweak suggested about a million times would go a long way: require +1 or +2 net inclusions for DT (instead of current 0). I wouldn't hold my breath for that to happen though.

And even that'd be just a bandaid for the underlying issue of not caring, since spammers/scammers/farmers/etc will always care more to game the system than (presumably) honest users care to figure out if the system is being gamed and how to prevent that.

Yes, I replaced "give a shit" with "care", but only because it's shorter. My sentiment remains the same.

Post 58862729 is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=208986.msg58862729#msg58862729 which was added by me 2 times and post creation Database identifier had ID 58854746, then after editing 1st time it was changed to 58854749 and lastely into 58862729.

Editing a post doesn't change the post ID. If you mean that you created a new post and deleted the old one, that is also not allowed within 24 hours. You should edit the existing post and not create a new one.

ekiller gets selected into DT1 --> mhanbostanci and alpsea become DT2 --> all their fake retaliatory negs are now visible by default (coinlocket$ -1, marlboroza -2 etc.) --> someone else has to clean/fix that shit. You gotta love the DT1 lottery!

Pointless. This was discussed at length a year or two ago and most DT1 members didn't give a shit. Now this is happening pretty much every month and still no shit given whatsoever.

You can and should ignore trolls but you can't and shouldn't ignore misinformation because it is misleading anyone who would come upon said posts.

Not in this thread though. Pick your fights.

That's 8 users with negative feedback on DT more than last week!

Seems mostly the Turks and this guy:

   39. 2561166: PrimeNumber7 (Trust: #  +1 / =4 / -1) (1485 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP)

Which is exactly what this forum deserves. Well done.

For a forum heavily populated with relentless Bitcoin bulls, we're surprisingly easily spooked.

Forget months, I hope that we'll get another 2014-16-style years-long depression. Miner's paradise. This time I'll keep most of it, I promise.
1852  Economy / Lending / Re: Urgent 400$ Loan Needed (i offer all my digital assets as collateral) on: January 07, 2022, 04:59:16 PM
Ok, fiverr aside, i will transfer the ownership on namecheap first to the collateral, or directly if its from a legendary member, how much would could you lent for those 2 as collateral, i also have the domain nailcrypto.com its in its grace period i need to renew it but im fucked now if you're interested ill renew it and transfer it to you too.

I think you're not hearing me. Your collateral doesn't meet two very basic conditions:

1) Value in excess of the loan being requested - I don't think the value is there.
2) Irreversible change of ownership and liquidity if the lender needs to sell it - not the case either.

That said, I'm not a lender but condoras is and he also wasn't impressed.
1853  Economy / Lending / Re: Urgent 400$ Loan Needed (i offer all my digital assets as collateral) on: January 07, 2022, 04:26:43 PM
how can i reclaim them ?  will transfer domain ownership to you on Namecheap those are both expired domains that have good value especially grabahat.com, as for fiverr ill give you all the information to change both the email and phone number to use, i use a username on fiverr unrelated to any name as well as no personal image, you can also check the profitability on fiverr there.

Fiverr accounts can be reclaimed if you contact support and tell them you've been hacked.

Namecheap also has procedures for recovering fraudulent domain transfers.

Not to mention the possibility that you could simply abandon your collateral. The domains are worth maybe ~$100. Selling or otherwise transferring the ownership of fiverr accounts is against their rules.
1854  Economy / Lending / Re: Urgent 400$ Loan Needed (i offer all my digital assets as collateral) on: January 07, 2022, 03:59:06 PM
I'm sorry about your predicament but your collateral has little to no value to anyone else, and you can easily reclaim it without repaying the loan so it's not going to work. You're better off smoking a spliff with your roommate and explaining the situation. If you're not a habitual deadbeat you'll be fine.

I sense a bit of unappreciative tone here regarding discounted bitcoins. It's as if we haven't seen the other side of 40k many times before. It's fine. Breathe. How many lambos does one need anyway.
1856  Other / Meta / Re: Ban request for user: franky1 on: January 07, 2022, 12:59:18 PM
Then it's the half truth. He gets his posts merged as I've said, but we can't consider those deleted... The content of those posts still exists. I was referring to those that have been removed for good.

franky1 was responding to a post saying that the large number of deleted posts will get him banned because of "spam and trolling". He explained that most of his deleted posts are not "spam and trolling" but merged multiposts. I think that's a fairly reasonable response and has factual basis.

Let's be fair, half of this merit (no pun intended) should go to the people feeding the alleged troll.
You mean trying to clear up the reckless balderdash of the alleged troll? Yeah. Someone has to fight misinformation, apparently.

You can't have it both ways. If you really honestly think franky1 is a troll, the best way to defeat him is to not engage him. If you want to argue with him, that's fine, but you gotta take some responsibility for the ensuing chaos. This is even more jarring in a thread like this where LN discussion should be off topic.

Trust me, I've fed many a troll over the years. Never led to anything positive.
1857  Other / Meta / Re: Ban request for user: franky1 on: January 07, 2022, 12:19:37 PM
what you might find interesting. is the majority of my deleted messages are not due to bans/trolling . but due to the fact that i have tried separating my posts into separate talking points.
We all knows that's a lie. Yeah, they delete the individually made posts, but merge their content into one, so nothing is removed from your text. If you want to make another point don't double-post. Use the horizontal rule instead.

It's not a lie. He does get a lot of posts merged by mods and those count as multiple deleted posts. It's also quite possible that if you report franky1's post for trolling and your report is marked as "good", his post was deleted for some other reason.

I've already made it clear that I don't support a ban, but hats off to franky1 here for making factually incorrect off topic posts about Lightning in a thread complaining about his factually incorrect off topic posts about Lightning.

*Chef's kiss emoji*

Let's be fair, half of this merit (no pun intended) should go to the people feeding the alleged troll.

In which country it is already Jan 8th, 2022, as of right now, it's only Jan 6th 3:50pm EST. Is he a time traveler?
Nice spot Smiley They must be time travellers  Smiley Still time to apply for a job  Smiley

It says nothing about posting Bitcoin-related memes, so most people in this thread will be fine even after Jan 8.
1859  Economy / Services / Re: Signature campaign endfb.com on: January 06, 2022, 08:26:41 PM
I mean ok, but the next person who adds courtesy of endfb.com after their posts gets double your pay.

This is not allowed by forum rules and may get you banned. Not a big loss TBH so keep doing that.

i see😱 this merit tree. but cant get merits 😪 

That's true. You can't because your post history is useless bounty hunting garbage. Thanks for proving that the merit system works.
