So you can sign a message but you need a loan? Makes no sense.

If you insist on a bet, send 0.1 BTC to LoyceV for escrow (if he agrees to this nonsense) and a signed message showing your BTC stash and I'll do the same. I don't need to know how much you have, escrow can adjudicate this. I don't see what this proves though. Surely doesn't prove you're trustworthy.

Edit: Sneaky little shit edited the post. Backpedaling much? LOL

Unfortunately I only take bitcoins for bets and you don't have any so I doubt that's going to work.


You're untrustworthy for the reasons stated in my trust feedback. No amount of twisting is going to help you here so you can save your fingers and stop typing this belligerent nonsense.

You said you will never ask for a loan (didn't specify collateral or not, just any loan). They you asked for a loan. That makes you untrustworthy. I'm not going to provide you with instructions how to scam on a collateral loan, but there are other issues with such loans as well, not the least of which is trust farming leading to a long con.


Good luck with that. Maybe try actually having money so that you don't need to borrow yourself.


Sure. Anything else you'd like me to do for you while I'm at your service?

Oh, watch out we got a "thinker" here LOL

Jesus fucking Christ, even scammers got stupider while I was out.

It seems to say "Pardon!" but if someone really wanted to apologize they wouldn't do it in gibberish and then attack the person they're asking "pardon" from so I'm probably wrong.

Oh please... we have beautiful progressive cities here as well, not just hills with billies.



Even Trump couldn't destroy that. 250+ years of pursuit of happiness FTW.

It was large, yes, but Mt Gox was one of the (if not "the") largest too when it was hacked, and so were some others (Cryptsy etc). Size doesn't mean it's technically sound, often the opposite. I recall having basic issues like trouble having my e-mail verified etc so I wouldn't be surprised if they just ignored security guidelines and kept private keys in a text file somewhere. IIRC Bitgo had said that Bitfinex did not follow their (Bitgo's) procedures so all that fancy third party security system was meaningless too.

Was it though? I admit I haven't been following any recent revelations but back in the day it looked like Bitfinex fucked up hugely (e.g. left a major exploit unpatched for months and a script kiddie got lucky), then tried to save their face by making it sound like they were unfortunate victims of some government-level hacking attack.

Also keep in mind that $4.5 billion being mentioned in the news is nonsense, those coins were worth maybe $80 million at the time. Still a huge amount but not billions and Bitfinex was accordingly shoddy with their systems (I used it briefly in 2015 or 16 and it felt like some dude's weekend project rather than a serious financial institution).

Fine.


Any day is fine, preferably evening hours UTC but doesn't really matter that much.


No. I mean yes. No veto. Yes to them joining.


Yes.


Yes.


Yes. I vote for no rule changes though

Are you though? I haven't been in meta for weeks if not months but it feels like I never left because I still find your off-topic whiny-ass stalker nonsense in one of the first threads I open. So thanks for making me feel right back at home but maybe try growing up big man.

I'm in. Sorry haven't been much active recently, trying this newfangled thing called vacation like 12 hours at a time until work texts me at 4am so I'm kinda cranky but definitely looking forward to crushing you all in FF.

Sometimes people tend to be nice, even on this forum, weird, I know

I've had a similar situation with Timelord20something. We communicated via PM in good faith (I thought) and then Timelord didn't like that I didn't respond in his expected timeline. Ok, shit happens, misunderstanding, etc. But Timelord exaggerated the whole thing as if it was a breach of contract or something, sent nonsensical trust feedback, trolled the threads I was posting in, etc.

Anyway, I can understand how 1miau got into this, and how annoying that sort of deluded trollshittery can be.

I don't know who's "you" but the former colonialists seem to be trying to get that grain going while Putin, the friend of random African dictatorships, keeps holding said grain hostage with these ridiculous negotiations and threats to not allow it to be exported. It shouldn't be subject to negotiations to begin with. It's only a problem because Putin created it, what with the invasion and the deluded imperialist "I own the Black Sea" nonsense.

You're like a small child who gets a dollar for ice cream and a dollar for candy and comes home crying without ice cream or candy. "Why didn't you buy it?". "I forgot which dollar is which". It doesn't matter which grain goes to Africa and which dollars pay for it, as long as the supply is sufficient to keep the price affordable. Real world works differently than Stalin's (or Tito's) five year plan, try to keep up.


Except "russia" is not doing that. Why?

This date thing seems to be a major fetish with Russian propaganda, along with the personality thing.

Zaluzhny dead, Budanov dead, Zelensky on cocaine, etc.

Bakhmut must be taken before New Years, before the war aniversary, before victory day, etc.

It doesn't really make sense outside of Kremlin bubble. No one in Vilnius is gonna say "oh well, Zelensky has not taken Crimea by <insert some date made up by the 15 ruble brigade idiots who spread Putin's propaganda for free> so let's stop giving them weapons". If anything they will give more weapons or certain types of weapons that may address some of the issues encountered during the alleged counteroffensive. Progress is obvious and goals remain the same, concern trolling notwithstanding.

Great, I'm happy we can agree that Ukrainians are slowly pushing into the occupied territories.

Let me guess, if someone gives you links to ISW/liveuamap/Deep State maps you'll call it Western propaganda and demand Konashenkov-approved maps?

Among many other things, in this thread in particular I'm questioning your fearless leader's mental capacity, as evidenced by his inability to admit his fuckup and retreat from Ukraine to save Russian lives. I guess that's not good a question, not approved by politburo, amirite.

There is nothing inherently wrong with self-moderation. It is abused by scammers and spammers and other dross, just like any other forum feature is (trust system, merit system, etc). I think some limitations could be useful, e.g. not allowing self-mod threads for newbies. But really anyone seeing a self-mod thread created by a person they don't like should just ignore it, and if they see one created by a scammer they can use trust feedback to warn users.

As for some deranged troll threatening to "ban" this feature... I wouldn't waste too much time worrying about that.

Pseudo-coup fallout continues: Prigozhin's media empire, including the US-election-meddling troll factory and the infamous 15-ruble brigade, is being shut down. So now if any of these Kremlin copy-pasters show up here again we'll know for sure that they're bona fide deranged putinists. Speaking of which...


Not afraid but ran away from Moscow at the first sign of trouble. Glorious fearless leader. When parade in Bakhmut?
