Well done @yahoo62278 for bringing this up. I've explained in his thread that he's wrong, I've tagged him and.. the rest is up to the mods.

I don't know how the evil fee related page looks like, maybe it worth taking a look onto it, maybe it needs some information added to avoid this kind of confusion (which, as I wrote there too, may or may not be on purpose).

You've misunderstood what you paid for (whether by mistake or willingly, it doesn't matter here).
You've paid for lifting a restriction on an IP, not for lifting a ban against you, as person.

This means that the IP is free to use, but you are still banned.

Your "submission" is, first of all, a wall of text. If you want to be taken seriously you should start with making posts that can be read effortlessly.

Then, your premises are incorrect. The fact that it's especially lower rank members jumping in without second thought into bounties is their own fault. If they would not be so keen to see posting as a means of income and just use the forum as a forum (and see the income for their posts as a bonus) then everything would be better. But that comes with experience, and with experience the better rank also is there.

So imho the participants are looked down upon because of their own behavior.
Plus, it's not the bounty managers those who bring new bounties. It's the various projects and businesses. The bounty managers only manage all that.
You have so many questions it's difficult to answer them all. I wish the bounty hunters come to their senses someday and think before joining to campaigns. Maybe some campaign managers will have tough days for a while, but afterwards the things may get better: better managers, meaningful payments, better rules too ... because I expect huge levels of meaningless posts in those campaigns.


I've seen plenty of meaningful discussions without being technical. The fact you don't see that, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
This being said, I think that your... proposals are based on incorrect fundaments, but I admit, I didn't read carefully every word you've written.

Plus, I don't understand your problem:
* Is it that some bounty hunters are not being accepted to campaigns? Well, maybe better ones got accepted and the (limited!) places got filled?
* Is it that they spam too much? Report the spam at sight!
* Is it that some bounty hunters or bounty managers see this as a daily job? It's a risk they take and it can easily turn bad. But it's their choice.


This is a forum. You know, a place people discuss.. preferably about bitcoin and altcoins. Somehow far too many keep forgetting that... sadly.

You're right, but only partly.
While Bitcoin will not replace the commercial banks and even more I think that sooner or later those will offer Bitcoin-related products - exchange, investment and maybe reserve too - (some already started on that path), Bitcoin does have the potential to render useless the central banks. Of course, we are very far from that (globally), still, it is possible.

It was by far not a review of what you wrote, I am sure that you still have mistakes there, some are getting pointed out I see. But no problem, if you pay attention to what people will say and you'll adjust your post accordingly, you'll get it right after some time. After all, it's a learning curve also for you.

Some possibly interesting points:
* Chipmixer is donation based, so if one reads the FAQ he can easily mix his coins for free (only tx fees to pay)
* Centralized mixers are trust based - from the trust they'll give your money back to the trust they don't keep logs. Also, it's good to know that some mixers' web page is behind CloudFlare and even if they don't keep logs, CloudFlare will probably do.

This kinda saved you  
How you managed to miss the mixer that's most well known on the forum, ChipMixer?
It's the most reputed mixer, just one has to beware of the fake clones and go to the onion link from the signature(s) or from the ANN
Please add it to the list, it worth it.

Aaaand... Foxpup's not-so-well-oiled time machine tricked you again into being too early 
However, after being sometimes way too late, it wort pointing out your punctuality this time.

As said, you've started with inaccuracies. Even more, the tiny 4k movement means nothing in the grand scheme of things. Just look at the whole price chart.


So you fist say that people should take advantage of the low price because it'll rise to 80k... then kinda ask us if it's (surely) so?
No, I'm not sure of any price level for Bitcoin. And, to go on the actual speculation area, I don't even expect 80k this year. I would be happy even with 50k. The 80k I expect for next year though. But again, what I expect and what will happen... those may be wildly different things.

So it's nice to tell people be careful and don't miss the train, but on the other hand make sure you remind them only invest what they afford to lose, else if tomorrow the price will go a tad lower, they'll already panic and sell.

Problema mea este ca atata timp cat noi stam doar in bula noastra, nu o sa reusim sa il convingem pe gradinar sa se uite la bitcoin. Doar daca fiu-sau sau nepotul il vor convinge.. adica incet, tarziu, vai de noi...


Cred ca e cu doua taisuri. Bitcoin poate sa devina un sistem de plati superb, dar nu cred ca asta se poate intampla in mod anonim. Este o lovitura data intregului sistem? Discutabil...
Da, este o lovitura sub centura tuturor celor care doresc sa ramana anonimi si sa nu isi bage guvernul nasul unde nu-i fierbe oala. Dar vasta majoritate ar considera asta un succes.
Iar ca pas 2, in functie de implementarea sistemului de plati cu bitcoin, se va putea renunta la moneda (si banca!) nationala samd.


Voi trece cu vederea peste faptul ca actualele carti de debit crypto nu platesc cu crypto, ci cu fiat (se converteste crypto in fiat in momentul platii sau, in multe cazuri, chiar mai inainte) si voi considera ca vor deveni instrumente de plata cu Bitcoin...
Atunci, da, in teorie, se poate ce zici tu.


Am lasat asta la sfarsit fiindca nu cred ca va merge. Azi lumea prefera sa plateasca cu telefonul, plata cu cardul nici macar nu mai e la moda. Asa afla si Apple/Google/... si Visa, si banca pe unde ai mai umblat. Lumea doreste sa faca totul din telefon sau bratara inteligenta. Deci eliminarea platii cu telefonul (inclusiv din portofel bitcoin) nu cred ca va merge.
Si nici nu cred ca trebuie insistat. In 1-2 generatii cam toti bitoinii din circulatie tot vor ajunge sub umbrela KYC.
Vorba lui Agent Smith: it's inevitable.

Well, this is not how this math was done. Just google a little for it. For example one thing you've missed from your calculations was the stock splits (plus you may have wrongly assumed that all the initial investors would buy 1000$ worth of shares)


And you can add on top of this also the dividends.
Really, you could have been just researching a little before posting...

Na, trebuie sa iti placa sa joci, ca altfel sunt sanse ca recenzia sa fie ignorata. Cel putin asta scrie in prima postare.
Dar:
* foarte multe jocuri se pot juca cu bani-fara-valoare emisi de cazinou
* iti poti face o impresie destul de clara fara sa joci la toate jocurile
* eu am avut si acel pariu gratuit, e adevarat, dar cred ca tot ai ce scrie, chiar mai mult decat au scris altii
* daca tii neaparat sa depui, poti juca si pe bani, iar la sume mici de retras probabil ca nu se vor incurca sa iti ceara KYC (totusi recomand sa incerci intai ce poti incerca gratis)
* inca nici macar nu s-au rezervat (ce sa vorbim de scris recenziile) cele 50 de locuri initiale pentru recenzii, iar cele 2 saptamani in care se asteptau sa primeasca recenziile au trecut (iti recomand totusi sa iti rezervi un loc inainte sa te apuci sa te uiti pe acolo)

Nu ar strica totusi mentionat ca eu inca nu am fost platit pentru acea recenzie...

Pai bun, dar si asta ar fi tot plata directa cu bitcoin pentru orice. S-ar incadra. Problema e ca (o sa raman pe exemplul tau) noi inca mergem sa vindem bitcoin pentru lei ca sa-i dam gradinarului acei lei... Iar el plateste arenda in lei. Adica noi in bula noastra, iar ei tot cu fiat-ul lor, tot cu inflatie si toate cele.


Eu cred ca e prea putin. Si daca mergem in aceasta directie s-ar putea sa nu implementeze niciodata platile crypto. De ce ar face-o, daca noi suntem mai mult decat fericiti cu fiat-ul lor?


Din pacate cred ca spre asta se merge. Si s-ar putea ca Satoshi sa fi stiut asta, ca altfel inventa ... Monero    Dar el a lasat totul la vedere.
Partea cu neacceptarea portofelului personal nu cred ca va tine. Adica ce o sa faca cei care au mii si milioane de bitcoin dinaintea aparitiei acelor legi?! Plus, ar fi o logistica impresionanta ca doar platile din partea anumitor adrese (sau zPub?) sa fie acceptate. Nu cred ca se vor complica in asemenea hal.
Dar da, vor urmari toate tranzactiile, chiar mai abitir decat se face acum cu cardurile de fiat.

Nothing is impossible, although banning a forum/website of basically geeks discussing doesn't look like an useful move and they may need solid legal ground for it.
And if they take down this forum, people will find out soon enough from Twitter, Nostr and the huge number of Telegram channels what would be the new platform they can gather.
So it would be only a temporary setback.

I think that:
1. You may have the impression that this community is bigger and more important than it is.
2. The crypto related noise on Twitter, for example, is much more visible and much more toxic imho; that could be a much easier and much more likely target.

Read as much as you can from multiple sources (including questions on the forum), get to understand which information is reliable, synthetize all of this into the answers you need.


Depending for what.
Is this for trading? Then understand that TA alone is never enough, get prepared for big sudden changes in any direction.
Is this for investing? Then learn to look at the big picture and to ignore the noise. Also learn about patience and trust. And clearly, understand what Bitcoin is about.
Is this for something else? Since Bitcoin is not only about trading, investing, spending...


Many hours on the forum. Plus a lot of googling, reading around and YouTube too.

It heavily depends on the bounty and the bounty manager (that's why bounties on bitcointalk are somewhat safer than the ones on Telegram).
Clearly there are many projects that don't intend to pay, hence only the ones with escrowed funds or reputable bounty managers worth any attention.
Then, no matter how good they pay, you bear a huge risk anyway because they most probably pay with their own coin/token which in most cases will never become valuable.

So yes, if you already have that feeling, flee as soon as you can and don't look back.
And as others said, in the vast majority of cases you'll do free advertising, since you'll end up with nothing or with nothing valuable.

They're early yet and one will still need to understand what AI have done in order to tell the job was done correctly or not. So the jobs are not at an imminent risk... yet.

But on long term.. just imagine a script kiddie just asks AI to write him quickly a malware or a hack. Or the secretary asks AI to make a malware she can plant easily on her boss' computer.
I mean that these guys are not far from truth: this easy access to information at such a high level can open Pandora's box.
No matter how skilled somebody is, AI will fill the gaps. And this can be used easier for evil than for good.

The AI is still learning. And Bitcoin is highly complex, actually. I think that is still gives not-so-bad explanations (not definition). Far from perfect, but not bad.


The point of AI is to (ever) learn. And we, bitcoiners, should know best how this is: AI is still early (sounds familiar?)

Clearly, the answers of now are, by far, not to be trusted. It's risky to rely only on that.
On the other hand:
* most people don't care of bitcoin more than what's in ChatGPT's answer(s)
* it's impressive that it didn't go by the official/newspaper-like narrative (scam, ponzi, overly risky, drug money, ... name it); keep in mind that the system is trained to the data up to.. 2 years ago?

Bravo!


Wow, tot nu as fi avut rabdarea ta... Plus ca si daca as avea 100 de zile de stat smirna la calculator, as avea 1001 de chestii de facut (ramase ca le-oi face "candva") de care sa ma apun inainte sa ma ocup de spam la asemenea nivel.
Da, cand nimeresc peste spam si alte postari dubioase in frunzarirea de zi cu zi a forumului, sigur ca le raportez. Dar sa ma arunc benevol intr-o "mare de spam" nu as face, nu stiu daca mi-ar face bine  

Clar ce ai realizat este i m p r e s i o n a n t !

Inapoi la topic: am participat si la campania de recenzii Utopia. Multumesc ca ai adus-o in atentia noastra! Este o platforma interesanta... si au fost niste banuti usori.
Si tot pe acelasi subiect, cred ca si campania de recenzii Betnomi este la fel de usoara pentru cine are chef si timp (adica se pot vedea multe fara sa faci KYC si fara sa depui bani).

O...my.. god.... LOL!!!!


Actually I've seen this logic (at Discovery Channel or similar) on Airport Security related shows and the logic is that if you change too many planes or you stay only a day at a vacation place you're automatically suspicious (because the detour/extra stops may mean you meet some dealers).


Well, "soon" is a relative term. But in 10-15 years we should have it.  Maybe earlier, who knows?

De fapt da si nu chiar. Cred ca Satoshi si-ar fi dorit ca intr-o zi cu soare sa ajungem sa putem cumpara linistit cu Bitcoin, direct, orice dorim.
Deci sa tranzactionam astfel... doar fiat vs bitcoin... e departe de a fi optim.

Ar fi bine pentru pastrarea intimitatii, dar... cam atat...
