If you live in a high conflict area where you fear that your property may be destroyed at anytime, then you have a lot more problems to deal with than.whether or not to put your property in Bitcoin or not.

Your first priority should be safety and security.
602  Other / Meta / Re: How Was This User Able to Buy 550 Merits At ones? on: October 29, 2023, 08:40:10 AM
Op also mentioned Ajpa94 case on his post that's why i ask this. check the op post history his 193 post has been made in 2023 and his total post shows in ninjastic is 279 (279-193=86)  post has been deleted then how he can get 250 merit by airdrop without 250 post/activity? It looks like ninjastic couldn't properly track this account activities
Ninjastic space does not scrap way back to when the merit system was newly created.

The plausible situation here is the user had enough posts and activity to get the airdrpped merits and deleted their posts soon after that which does not affect their activity count.
603  Other / Meta / Re: Services board is very hard to browse on: October 29, 2023, 08:08:21 AM
I may have understood what OP tried to explain. Signature campaign are forum's own dedicated services/features to promote crypto projects. Aren't they?
Signature campaigns are not forum dedicated or related to the forum at all. More than half of them do not promote crypto projects and are gambling related.
Of course the projects have to have some appeal to the audience here, so the casino houses are mostly those that accept cryptocurrency, other popular services are mixers for crypto and Bitcoin wallets, but their are not forum related in any way, just regular services being advertised.

Anyone looking to hire or be hired should be able to read through 2-3 pages of threads, but maybe the services board should have a child board to advertise a service that one offers and the current one will be to hire people to work on a service, that can help declutter it a little bit.
604  Other / Meta / Re: How to write a Ban Appeal. on: October 28, 2023, 07:18:55 PM
For upto 2 years of my stay in this forum, I discovered that the reason most ban appeals are not granted is the format or content of the appeal.
This is very far from he truth. Ban appeals are not granted cause most bans are legitimate and the banned user actually broke the rules deliberately, sometimes they broke it multiple times and they are not net positive members to the forum.
However you construct the appeal and the support you get will not change the verdict.

If you are banned

Your ban message may have an email address which you can email. If not, then appeals are unlikely to be accepted.
If you are banned, this is the most ideal way to appeal it. A thread in meta can be made to support this and get the attention of mods quicker.
605  Economy / Reputation / Re: Advertised services and participants in a paid sig campaign on: October 28, 2023, 09:34:23 AM
Let me prefix by saying anyone can advertise what they want as long as it is not a scam.

Now to the point of the discussion, I don't think users should wear signatures of projects they do not agree with, they feel may be detrimental and will not use for themselves. The world is not utopian and people do things for money in the real world due to situation and circumstances, but this is an online forum and what you do here is well within your control.

There are also numerous campaigns available, granted majority of them are gambling related but there are definitely others.
You can simply apply for some other campaign.

There's another argument that endorsement can have different meaning. Advertising a site can be me telling you that it's not a scam website. I'm not encouraging you to gamble, but if you must this is a good website to do it on.
606  Other / Meta / Re: There Must be child Board With the Name of "Location" in local boards. on: October 28, 2023, 09:01:40 AM
A country is already a small enough group, breaking that off into specific locations will lead to less and less discussions and presents a privacy risk for the users.

The focus should be on getting your local board approved, then working out the most needed childboards to include in it.
607  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I'm new guy in Crypto World on: October 28, 2023, 08:59:11 AM
Wow I must confess the rules here are very strict, I am new here.from the way I see things here I think it will take quite a long time to understand how this forum works.
Violating many of the rules will only get you a slap on the wrist and nothing more. For you to get more serious punishments you need to break one of three rules;
• Steal someone else's content and pass it off as yours,
• Excessively spam the forum despite repeated warnings,
• Share malwares.

The above rules are not broken in ignorance, so if you have no plan toncheat the system you will be fine here.

To understand how the forum works you have to interact more with it, join discussions and try out the available features. Visit the Help option for assistance.
608  Other / Meta / Re: Why my posts were deleted from a Reputation board thread? on: October 25, 2023, 04:40:27 AM
Edit: Well, the posts were merged without any moderator's note. I didn't notice that at first. Didn't they notice that the author removed several posts?
Time to lock this thread and move on since you're aware of what happened now.

It will also be nice if we stopped policing the moderators and assuming they take action cause a higher ranked or more "reputable member" requested for it.
609  Economy / Economics / Re: Nigerian naira hits record black market low of 1,100 per dollar on: October 24, 2023, 09:20:46 PM
I can remember exchanging a dollar at N110 in 2008, not to even talk of the N450 range.
I remember doing same around 2016/2017, less than a handful of years ago.
How much value has been lost shows nothing is being created by the economy, SMEs are everywhere but the majority of them end up falling.

Just imagine it. It's heartbreaking to even think that there were those who shamelessly campaigned and did all they could to enthrone this present administration with mouthed promises that the incoming president would put together eggheads who would man our economy.
Appointments by the president were made based on nepotism Ora's a reward to that helped him to climb on that seat.

Looks like the first couple of comments are now starting to show up:
Out of curiosity.
Will positive comments about the proposed regulation also be taken into account and what stops the government from sponsoring comments encouraging it inorder to counter any criticism that it gets?
611  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Maybe I should have taken this risk earlier. on: October 24, 2023, 06:10:38 PM
I didn't plan to do anything with the money I saved for my education but recently the price of bitcoin has increased by about 10 thousand dollars and seeing this increase I think that I should invest in bitcoin now instead of leaving the money in the bank for these four to five months.
Do not risk money you cannot afford to lose.

Bitcoin is a reliable investment, but expecting returns in four to five months is highly risky due to the volatility of the market. Investments are best done with spare money and a long term target, so you will not anxiously check the charts every few hours and be forced to sell at a loss.

Although I think it's a bit late for me to invest. Maybe I should have invested when Bitcoin was 26 thousand dollars then maybe I could have made a good profit at this point but there is no point in regretting what I didn't do Of course I will think about the present now. I think the price of bitcoin can cross 40 thousand dollars so investing in bitcoin now will not be a wrong decision for me at all.
It's not too late to invest, the price can go well beyond $40k but do not rush into an investment cause of movement in the market.

Do your research and take your time.
612  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The PATRIOT Act comes to cryptocurrency on: October 24, 2023, 05:59:48 AM
It doesn't really matter as long as they don't force miners to censor non-compliant transactions. They can't stop anyone from using privacy tools, doing p2p transactions, paying to services that don't comply, etc. If you are using Bitcoin the way the cypherpunks envisioned decentralized money, then Bitcoin fulfills its goal of being decentralized money.
• They CAN start a crackdown on privacy tools for whatever boogey reason,
• They can do the same to P2P platforms and any other service that doesn't comply for the same non existent reason.

If this is allowed the cost of privacy will keep growing until those seeking it are considered to be doing something illegal.

It's just that, due to the situation and opportunity, we still can't avoid submitting our KYC because we have something that needs to be released to an exchange that is under this regulation, or else we won't be able to release our money on their exchange site platform, right?
There are a couple of non KYC compliant options that you can use.
613  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Warning]: Fake Emergency aid to Gaza website on: October 24, 2023, 05:46:28 AM
Using the ongoing genocide of Palestinians to rip people off has to be a new low.
This is not a new low at all. Scammers have always been doing things like this throughout all recorded cases of violence or crisis.
It makes it almost impossible to trust anything one sees on the internet, I certainly will not send money to any random website or handle without doing days worth of research and communication with those who are handling it.

Twitter has now become a place where in the name of free speech trolls are active and with the new blue tick policy, it is now easy for scammers to buy the tick and take scamming to the next level.
No one should trust a blue tick enough to be scammed by one.
614  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Ways to earn money in cryptocurrency? on: October 23, 2023, 08:19:13 PM
There is no unique way to earn Bitcoin, it's a form of money. You offer a skill that someone needs and they pay you in Bitcoin if both parties are in agreement with it. You would be thinking; "what skills do I possess that someone is willing to pay for?"
615  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How will it affect your life if bitcoin price comes to $1 million per bitcoin? on: October 23, 2023, 08:04:20 PM
I am not convinced that Bitcoin will get to $1M during my lifetime, I expect that at some point it will stop having both crypto winters and huge bull runs, getting to a slow rise, kind of like gold usual trend.
I share the same sentiment. With how high the percentage of the circulating supply is already, the halving will start having less and less effect on the market and the price will peak around a certain range and adjust downwards to accommodate the lose of price speculators. At this time I expect the use case to have significantly changed and for us to have a much higher level of adoption.
616  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The PATRIOT Act comes to cryptocurrency on: October 23, 2023, 07:50:31 PM
Fortunately you can still exchange EUR 1k per transaction with no KYC here. Used to be 10k, now it's 1k, so the noose is tightening, but it's going to be very hard for them to lower this limit, as this would have to come with fiat currency withdrawal limits at ATMs and all that.
It just seems that the safest option is to use an exchange that allows the freedom to trade anonymously and not to play around the regulation as it gets stricter. There are decentralized options that require no KYC that one can opt for.

Anyway, the system can be "cheated" as the limits aren't per day, but per transaction, so it only makes things annoying, but not impossible to accomplish Wink
If someone spammed this system with multiple maximum order transactions the exchange will very likely flag such an account after a while and freeze what's left on it.
617  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how fascinating this story is... on: October 23, 2023, 07:40:09 PM
MtGox was a scam exchange and screwed over thousands of users on their website.

I don't see a point discussing events of the past but this goes to show how long centralized exchanges have been scamming people and how it's ironic that people still trust them with their bitcoins.
618  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The PATRIOT Act comes to cryptocurrency on: October 23, 2023, 03:56:15 PM
That's the tricky part.  Once you've lost it, it's often not an easy thing to obtain again.  By the time these people realise, they might not want to put in the required effort to regain their privacy and just lazily continue down the path the government are laying out.  I'd imagine that's exactly what the US are banking on.  
Privacy lost cannot be regained, but one can choose to prioritize it after a period of not doing so and still achieve some levels of anonymity.

If I have submitted documents to two centralized exchanges and have email and password links around, I cannot redact that information, but I can isolate that from any future transactions I make.
If I buy Bitcoin anonymously through decentralized, P2P services and send them to an unused address on non custodian wallets, no one can link that activity to my already exposed identity. And if there is no transaction activity on my already exposed identity it hopefully doesn't get as much attention.
There's of course always the risk it is sold on the darkweb.

It's unfortunate that we're likely going to end up with a two-tier system.  Privacy for a few, surveillance for the many.  Purely because some people are negligent.
This will only increase the cost of privacy for the few.
619  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The PATRIOT Act comes to cryptocurrency on: October 23, 2023, 02:58:02 PM
The propaganda machines has been working for several years now to changed the narrative is on Bitcoin and privacy, and they've done such a good job at it that even some Bitcoin users start asking the question of 'why someone wants privacy?' and even those who do not ask the question and sees nothing wrong in wanting privacy does not d anything to protect theirs or teach others how to.

Refuse to use any service or product which treats bitcoin as non-fungible and discriminates or censors certain coins.
I am starting to do this now.
I often use some KYC services, albeit without completing KYC and felt that was okay cause I was not enabling the anti privacy war, but even if you do not send them your documents, the time period when you use such services, you are dependent on that as a central authority, so if you use an exchange but don't pass through KYC, they can still choose to freeze the coins you are about to trade for no reason and force you to send documents to identify yourself or abandon the coins you just sent. They also collect tons of other information about you which can easily be gotten if you don't use at form of anonymity tool.

You are also promoting those anti privacy platforms when you use them to trade, buy/sell or store your coins.

You can't do anything about it until people start learning from their mistakes.
They have to first realize what their mistakes are. Many people don't see using centralized platforms and submitting your documents as detrimental to their privacy.
620  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My little research. on: October 23, 2023, 02:32:57 PM
I have done a little research about Bitcoin and why some governments refuse to accept Bitcoin in their own country even when they know that they are in power to make the most important citizens in their country access it and take advantage of it, and it wonders me a little.
Bitcoin does not need legalisation from the government and the government in turn will not want to endorse a technology they cannot control.
All citizens can access Bitcoin directly.

I have a little business that I am doing so far, and I would like to accept Bitcoin in my business, but I don't have enough ideas about Bitcoin. That's why I want to learn more, but truth be told, it's good to practice while learning.
You first have to research on the demand for bitcoin payment option.
Some businesses accept bitcoin as a form of advertising for it to attract investors, if that's not your motive and there's no demand for it, I will suggest you focus on more popular payment methods.
