5341  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which is the best Decentralized exchange in crypto wrold? on: July 19, 2019, 06:37:00 PM
That's a very subjective question, and could be better put as what is YOUR best decentralized exchange in the cryptocurrency world.
People have different reasons for visiting different exchanges. I personally prefer to use forkdelta irrespective of the hitches in the system it has specific features which I desire.
5342  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Libra has competitive advantages over Bitcoin. We let this happen. on: July 19, 2019, 06:21:00 PM
From my point of view the Bitcoin community seem to be stagnant, without any real targets set. What are the targets you want Bitcoin to have?

I would not say the community is stagnant, it has been constantly evolving over they years with new players getting involved as the currency matures. It's a collection of different people with different objectives. I'm my opinion, majority are in now for the volatility and potential to increase, hence we have long term hodlers.

My target for Bitcoin would be it becoming a stable store of value, and possibly used for national reserves.

Regulation is becoming a huge part of cryptocurrency. The blockchain offers anonymity but governments desire control and hence out regulations in place. This also affects gambling sites which use cryptocurrency. To comply with constitutional laws they have to run KYC checks on some withdrawals (usually above a certain range)

My suspicions were correct, Breaking News: Nigeria captain Mikel Obi confirms international retirement.

He would go down as one of the treats to play the game for the super eagles. Although there are those who believe he did not reach his full potential, from the platform of the juniour world cup and Olympics. But he has been committed all through, and won for both club and country.
We wish him luck in all future endeavours.

Congratulations on your extra medal. Achieving hero member status from scratch is not an easy task, it shows how much you've out into the forum and impacting others. Congratulations also on the other perks and positions you picked up along the way.

I'm not confirm which thread you are referring to.

I believe this is the thread @Jackg was referring to: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5142709.0

Edit; that was the thread requesting the implementation of multisig.
Here was we're theymos implemented it

Everyone should adopt the attitude of that you have to work in order to o earn. You do not automatically double or triple your money.
Greed is a tool that has been used through various medias.
We could also report suspicious accounts and websites, j found this link: https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/
I believe it comes with a warning flag similar to what we have with the trust flags. This would help protect newbies from such scams
5348  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Merit for Crypto (and other) Knowledge (no guide threads) on: July 17, 2019, 04:04:35 PM
Good day. Made a couple of threads and replies over the past month;
-Privacy Coins
- Re: Advise to Newbies looking to join bounties
- Positives of Industrialization

Also made a Guide thread, but cannot include that, as per the rules. I would appreciate your feedback on these contents.

Salah will be envious but the pressure's good for him.

I do not think envious is the right word, sure he regrets not going further in the tournament and losing on home soil, but I believe he would rather a team mate/friend won it and would celebrate with him.
We may never know his reaction as my money is on the Algerians to take this one home.
5350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: {Sports betting} Watch out for "professional tipsters" on: July 17, 2019, 03:49:43 PM
All they have to sell, is their previous success rate, and if they can indeed prove it. Of course this does not mean that they would always be right, but if you are going to go with 'tips' you should go with one that is more often right. This of course would increase the price of their service.
5351  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion: Remove Posts from people on your ignore list from your view on: July 16, 2019, 09:12:05 PM
I'm not certain, but I'd take a wild guess that it may have something to do with ad space. The system may have generated an ad for that thread, hence why it still shows up.
Only admins can answer if it can actually be removed totally.
5352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Cup Of Nations 2019 - Discussion Thread on: July 16, 2019, 05:43:52 PM
Senegal surely is in a better form to do that. Algeria has struggled all the way through and the semis too were a close call.

Algeria certainly have not struggled all the way through, they have had some tough matches like every other team.
They are the highest scoring team and have conceded the fewest goals. They also play a very open and fluid type of football. Senegal has also been impressive. It'd be a tough fixture, but I would be backing the North Africans.
5353  Other / Meta / Re: [FARM SUPPRESSION] Clearing the Horde of Spammers on: July 16, 2019, 05:14:54 PM
Yes. Even as far back as from 2011.

Members should be sensitized on what constitutes a 'good report', then most of the effort wasted in reporting inactive threads, could be used in cleaning up spam from the forum.

The merit badges was a good initiative and if properly managed it could help combat spamming.
This is a useful [Guide] on effective reporting.
5354  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcointalk setting query on: July 16, 2019, 05:07:20 PM
...

In addition it would also make it more difficult for one to get merits if others have to scroll down to get posts which haven't been merited.
There is a merit stat page which allows users check the most merited posts/replies, it's not a robust system, but it's good for now without the admins changing up the system.
5355  Other / Off-topic / Re: Playstore is not safe on: July 16, 2019, 11:24:53 AM
if you need any app badly find their website and download from original source, beware

The website may also be compromised and is not an assurance that the app is safe.
Do not allow apps direct permissions into your personal files.
Have an updated virus/malware protection software.
Verify any app you download from ANY source.
5356  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: what Is The Best Way To Bye Bitcoin? on: July 15, 2019, 03:07:03 PM
Best way to buy would be in a trusted exchange.
You can buy using other cryptocurrencies or with fiat currencies.
Here is a list of top exchanges by market capitalization: https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/

You can also check out this thread for the best choice of wallets to safeguard your assets: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1631151.0
5357  Other / Meta / Re: Advertising on trust page on: July 15, 2019, 07:04:26 AM
Or as other have written maybe some amount of Merits are needed to give feedback .

The forum is already very dependent on the merit system, making it a necessity for a member to give a feedback on another doesn't seem fair.
If they are not on DT or a users' personal trust list, their feedback does not count, so it's not much of an issue.

As for the advertising, from earlier replies the OP was not meant to be an ad, but a poorly organized defense against spam accusations, also it's not like anyone goes to trust pages to look for recommendations on products or services. But it could be used to trick one to a malicious website, so mods could make an exception remove such feedbacks if it becomes a trend.
5358  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is crypto industry manipulated? How bad is it? on: July 14, 2019, 02:36:57 PM
he is right.everybody knows that every exchanges especially small companies use bots and fake volume.and they are also manipulated by whales ofcourse.all i have to do is follow the trend.

Day trading is not as straightforward as following the trend, price manipulations are not as common for currencies such as Bitcoin with a very high market capitalization.
Day trading takes practice and majority would say luck to be successful.
Long term investments are a better option for those without the technical skills to trade, you simply have to buy and hodl.
5359  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Positives of Industrialization on: July 13, 2019, 10:13:14 AM
Sure, cancers, hybrid food, pollution, animal abuses, deforestation, child labor are also the trends that go with, but hey 'Change is inevitable. Adjust to it.'

Cancer is also caused by open fire, which was and is still a part of developing countries, i.e, it has many causes. Majority of the others are not innovations or even remotely related to this post.

I was taking the point of view of an entrepreneur, and how to see opportunities in new innovations and reposition yourself.
5360  Other / Meta / Re: Why my topic had been deleted? on: July 13, 2019, 07:26:54 AM
I can't access the deleted thread, but topics are deleted for a couple of reasons which the mods do not state to lighten their work load, but its likely down to one of these:
