Between 09:12:16 PM to 10:41:21 PM today, That's about 1 and a half hours, he made 21 posts!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2856068;sa=showPosts
He is doing the exactly the same thing for months now; once per week he shows up, churns out ~20 posts and then disappears again. Rinse and repeat.

I reported a couple of his posts and shared your post as a proof of his continuous burst posting and hoping mods will issue at least temporary ban which he definitely deserves (even sig ban wouldn't be bad since he is promoting 1xbit). And then if he continues doing the same thing after temporary bans maybe he gets perma banned. If that doesn't work then the only thing left to do is to manually report his shitposts.

2042  Other / Off-topic / Re: Crypto makes you more attractive, according to a new survey on: February 15, 2023, 08:43:24 AM
Nah I am not buying this theory that crypto makes you more attractive, at least not in my country. People that are into crypto are seen more like gamblers than a hotshot Wall Street brokers (that they might think they are) so I don't think that it would help you much attracting quality man/woman.


Approximately 83% of participants said liking crypto was an “attractive feature in a relationship,” while 70% said they would be more inclined to go on a date with someone if they found out they were interested in crypto.

But only about 38% of those surveyed said their partner was equally as interested and passionate about crypto as they were, while 27% patted themselves on the back for introducing their significant other to the wild, wild world of web3.
Keep in mind that survey was done on Binance and since we know that vast majority of crypto traders are men, it explains the results. Somehow I doubt that anything close to 83% of the women would think that crypto was “attractive feature in a relationship,”.


Accurate statistic?
There are three types of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics"

Buddy, friendly advice: better start referencing and properly formatting the copypasta or you might end up getting banned. I briefly checked your post history and it seems like this is not the first time you are doing that so you can't say that you did it by mistake.
2044  Economy / Economics / Re: SEC's crackdown on BUSD after banning the Staking on Kraken on: February 14, 2023, 06:18:56 PM
Well despite of sec's prohibition on Paxos to stop minting BUSD, CZ of Binance, told that paxos will contune to mint busd.
Could you maybe provide the source for your claim that CZ told Paxos to continue minting BUSD since I have a hard time believing he (or Paxos) would go against SEC order.  After all, CZ said in his Twitter thread that he expects BUSD market cap to start decreasing, users migrating to other stablecoins and even adjust trading pairs on Binance by remocing BUSD as a main trading paid. All this doesn't sound at all to me like he expects Paxos to continue minting BUSD.

Unfortunately this won't make people move away from stablecoins and those who used BUSD will just move to USDT on Tron or some other networks with lower fees.

About the BNB we shared yea right we do a lot of bounties from BountyDetective so we connected and helped ourselves with a little BNB for gas
As I expected, nothing that we haven't heard before.

Problem with this excuse is that it has been used so many times by bounty abusers that even if what you are saying is true, no one will believe it. Tough luck for all those who are saying the truth, but that's how  it goes around here.

We might have had a connection but cheating was never the reason. Please help a brother sort this out ASAP Cheers Mbok
Why don't you explain then how exactly are you connected with that accounta? It will probably be nothing that we haven't heard before so my guess is that it was your sister!/brother/grandma/aunt account but let's see if you can surprise us with something more original.
2047  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 Oscar Awards betting and discussions on: February 14, 2023, 11:50:55 AM
Create the thread! We can do the research and continue the discussions there. This thread will be locked 1 week after the Oscar awards ceremony and it will be better to have a separate thread for different entertainment betting events hehe.

Since I am not a big fan of Eurovision or betting on it, I think that someone else who od more than involved/interested should open it. I may visit the thread but my betting on it sums up to asking my wife (since she is a fan) which country might win and then putting some money on them.



Also, it appears that there is another storyline being created. This storyline is more right wing that endorses patriotism and encourages the youth to be recruited to the military. How many of Oscar voters are right wing? Hollywood has gone far left and this is making moderate left wingers appear like moderate right wingers hehehehehe.

New Top Gun seems more realistic than that scenario, in which a movie of that type wins a Best Picture Oscar considering how left Hollywood is. Cheesy

Beside that, I liked new Top Gun a lot (imho it's even better than the first one) and I would like seeing it winning an Oscar or two which I think it deserves. We need more of those old school types or movies that use less cgi and more practical effects.
2048  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: PayPal Crypto Holdings Report on: February 14, 2023, 08:19:01 AM
I think stablecoins are scams as well. Tongue Centralized, not fully backed up or collateralized, printed out of thin air, can be arbitrarily frozen or seized, have collapsed literally overnight... Worse than fiat!
Speaking of stablecoins, PayPal plans/planned to join the circus and issue their own but since their partner Paxos has problems with SEC as of lately (forcing them to stop minting BUSD and pressing charges) that will probably be put on hold.


Is Paypal one of those platforms that has been giving interest to users for holding crypto on their own site?
Nope, they didn't offer that.
2049  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Betfair23 user scam btc to usdt exchange on: February 14, 2023, 08:13:36 AM
I am sorry that you lost the money but doing any business with a newbie account that has no trade history could only end up this way.

Even though you probably won't see your money or account that you tried to buy, can you make a proper scam accusation so we can check it out and eventually tag/glag that member? It won't help you, but maybe it will save another naive and inexperienced member like you.

2050  Other / Meta / Re: A question about the source link in other people's texts on: February 14, 2023, 08:04:50 AM
Good point but I don't think anyone would accuse someone of plagiarism just because of the limited capabilities of the device that they use.
You would be surprised. We have members that are exclusively using mobile phones to access the forum so what do you think would happen if people started massively referencing using OP way since those members would have no way to see the hidden links?


I think the context matters way more than the way someone is quoting a text, i.e. quoting someone else without any wider context or reason to quote them would be a good indication that the poster attempted plagiarism or is at least spamming.
I don't see how you can be accused of plagiarism if you quoted someone else's text in an obvious and visible way, no matter the context. In the worst case scenario it can be a low value post e.g. when someone opens a topic with copy/pasted wall of text without adding anything of their own.


That's judgmental though, what's "proper" to me may not be proper to you.
As I said in my previous post, its not enough to just cover your ass by sharing reference link as everything should be easily visible when you copy/paste something, including reference link. We have members that were using all kind of creative ways to hide reference links and the fact that they actually copy/pasted text and that very little was written by themselves. They were eventually called out for it and in the end they stopped those practices due pressure from other members.
2051  Other / Meta / Re: A question about the source link in other people's texts on: February 13, 2023, 09:39:05 PM
Imho, its not just enough to mention the original source, but there should also be a clear distinction between your own words and something that is written by the others, whether by using quotation marks or quotation brackets. Sure, not doing that won't get you banned since tehnically it is enough to share the link to cover your ass, but it shows lack of honesty and/or posting etiquette and sets a bad example to new members who then do the same.



But now I ask: what is the point of leaving the source of information almost hidden?
Tbh I can't think of any other reason other than appearing that those are your own words and not someone else's.

2052  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: reasons why someone wants to pay in tether and not bitcoin? on: February 13, 2023, 09:17:04 PM
Those who want to stay away from volatility would prefer stable currency over bitcoin. However, they are unaware of the possible dangers of receiving stable money. In the same way, people who want to pay with tether are ignorant of the danger of frozen funds. We could simply research the Terra stable coin drama. how a lot of money was lost by people. We must learn lessons from the past mistakes.
While majority of people have no idea that stablecoins can be frozen even if you hold them in your own non-custody wallet, certain amount of users are aware of the risks but they are using it nevertheless (the same goes for pro traders that are using CEX even though they know the risks). After all, using doesn't automatically mean that you are holding it for longer period of time and that's what is the most dangerous part.

Btw not advocating for the use for stablecoins, just saying that if you use something doesn't automatically mean that you don't know the risks.
2053  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Will FTX make a comeback? on: February 13, 2023, 03:51:49 PM
FTX was known to be the world's second-largest crypto exchange before collapsing in late 2022.
Was it ever that big though, or it was just a hype due fake volume and bunch of paid sponsorships? I might be wrong, but somehow I always thought of Coinbase as bigger and more relevant.

Considering the tendency of an average crypto investor to easily forget about bad stuff from the past, I wouldn't be surprised to see FTX coming back if by some miracle all users get their money back. At least, we could get another exchange by some ex-FTX people, but under new name. After all, this is crypto where anything is possible.  Wink

I just tested those shortcuts on google chrome and I confirm that they are working without any problem.
I am using Firefox so maybe that explains why it doesn't work for me. And I can't really be bothered to install Chrome just to try the feature I wouldn't use even if it worked. Tongue

2055  Other / Meta / Re: Is the post and preview shortcuts working on your PC? on: February 13, 2023, 10:27:10 AM
Have you been using the shortcuts to post and preview your posts?
Honestly I never even tried using those shortcuts until you mentioned it today because to me it didn't look any faster than doing it the regular way. And no, it doesn't work for me neither.


The main thing is to make sure that the system is set to English when using these keyboard shortcuts. For example, if I have the Russian language enabled for typing, these keyboard shortcuts do not work.

P.S. i forgot to say, i use Windows
My language is set to English and I also use Windows and it still doesn't work.

Mislav Misak je legenda i covjek je fakat hodajuca enciklopedija za hrpu stvari, ali trebao je onda i pozvati nekoga tko ipak moze i pricati o tome bez da cita sa papira i da ga ne ubije trema.Takodjer je steta sto se nije fokusiralo samo na Bitcoinu posto oko toga ima vise misterije tako da bi ipak vise bilo u duhu emisije.

Uglavnom, evo linka na emisiju Na rubu znanosti: Kriptovaluta. Emisija je teski cringe tako da na kraju nisam uspio dovrsiti emisiju iako traje samo 45 minuta al eto mozda nekome ovdje fali malo susramlja.

2058  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: in my opinion don't buy crypto at high prices on: February 13, 2023, 09:03:07 AM
what do you think causes people to behave like that, namely always buying at high prices,? but when the price is cheap he doesn't want to?
Fomo, as simple as that. An average crypto investor has no clue about coins he is buying and he is not really interested in finding more about fundamentals so all that is left is to follow the others,


and I have advice for beginners, don't buy crypto at high prices, so buy at low prices. so that we have maximum profit
Or instead trying to time the market and buy at the bottom (which is impossible anyway), newbies might wanna try DCA method as it takes way less time and you don't have to check prices on the daily basis. You just buy at the regular intervals, no matter the price.
2059  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: Mjesečna Analiza za Hrvatsku Lokalnu Zajednicu (Bitcointalk Croatian) on: February 13, 2023, 07:13:33 AM
Da se ne bi reklo da uvijek slackam i objavljujem ove preglede na kraju mjeseca, evo jednog malo ranije nego inace. Pregled je standardno napravljen uz pomoc  @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboarda i @TryNinja Ninjastic.spacea pa ako zelite vidjeti detalje, bacite oko na te toolove.



Broj postova tijekom Sijecnja 2023

Tijekom navedenog perioda na nasem boardu napisano je 329 postova sto je povecanje od 20% u odnosu na 12/2022 tijekom kojeg je napisano 273 posta. U proslom pregledu sam napomenuo da ocekujem vece brojeve od prethodog mjeseca jer nam se pojavilo par novih clanova tako da se na kraju to i ostvarilo te se nadam da ce novi clanovi nastaviti doprinositi kao sto su do sada.




Ovdje se vidi kako se kretao broj psootva od kraja 2017 pa do danas. Trend je i vise nego ocit ali se ipak da primjetiti da smo ipak usporili taj pad u zadnjih godinu dana sto je svakako dobra vijest. Da skroz okrenemo trend bi nam trebalo jos par aktivnih clanova a s obzirom da izgleda da bi najgori bear mogao biti iza nas, mozda se netko i pojavi.




A ovakva je situacija kad se usporedimo sa ostalim boardovima. Unatoc padu, i dalje smo tu negdje oko sredine jednostavno zato sto je vecina ostalih boardova takodjer pala po borju postova, dok se rast vidi jedino kod Nigerijaca koji su nedavno dobili svoj board  te Pakistanaca koji pokusavaju dobiti board.

Posto onaj moj pregled iz mete drugi redovno  prenose u svoje lokalne boardove pa me Telegram bot obavijesti, cesto bacim oko da vidim kako oni komentiraju situaciju. Zanimljivo je vidjeti da i na ostalim boardovima kukaju kako su im brojevi pali, pa cak i na onim najaktivnijima kao sto su Ruski, Njemacki i Turski tako da eto nismo usamljeni po tom pitanju.





Analiza merita za Sijecanj 2023

Tijekom proslog mjeseca na nasem boardu je podijeljeno 263 merita sto je blago povecanje u odnosu na mjesec ranije tijekom kojeg je podijeljeno 249 merita. Netko bi mozda ocekivao i vece povecanje s obzirom da nam se broj posotva povecao za 20%, ali i ovaj broj je u biti super i fino je vidjeti da smo se zadnjih par mjeseci stabilizirali na preko 200 merita dok smo ranije dosta varirali po tom pogledu.




Lista svih onih koji su podijelili i primili merit. Tijekom proslog mjeseca 14 clanova je podijelilo merit dok ih je 18 primilo merit tako da su brojevi su jako slicni onima iz 12/2022 (14/19).




Kad se usporedimo sa ostalim lokalnim boardovima, stojimo nesto bolje nego kad je rijec o broju postova. Na vrhu su naravno standardna imena dok smo mi u biti super s obzirom na napisan broj postova.




I za kraj ove serije chartova, ovako stojimo kad se usporedimo sa ostalima po pitanju merit/post ratia. kao sto se vidi situacija je odlicna te smo i dalje pri samom vrhu sto mislim da i zasluzujemo s obzirom na kvalitetu naseg boarda te manjak shitpostera i spama.





Lista aktivnih clanova tijekom Sijecnja 2023

Tijekom navedenog razdoblja na nasem board 23 clana su napisali makar 1 post, sto je minimalno povecanje u odnosu na 12/2022 tijekom kojeg su 22 clana bila aktivna. Na vrhu je naravno slackovic sa 50 napisanih postova, dok su iza njega ne predaleko Trofo sa 40 postova te Daniel91 sa 39.

Red je spomenuti i novog (uvjetno receno novog jer je duze vrijeme na forumu ali nije pisao kod nas) clana Joobra koji je upao u top 10 sa 18 psootva a fino je vidjeti da je SirJohnVonSlotty i dalje dosta aktivan te se nadam da ca obojica novih clanaova nastaviti istim tempom.

1. slackovic [51]
2. Trofo [40]
3. Daniel91 [39]

Have you already seen the croatian entry ?  Cheesy Those guys are really crazy! I love that, I think they can surprise everybody and finish in the top 10.
Since I am from Croatia of course I heard the song, its the main topic over here. We usually send boring songs, but this is the first time we sent someone as crazy as the guys from Let 3  Cheesy These guys are old rock band that has cult status here and are usually very provocative so something like this was expected from them. They probably even had to tone it down because of Eurovision song contest rules.
 

Well if people are interested and if nobody opens a thread I will do it in the coming days I think.
Hah it doesn't hurt trying but I don't think that there will be much interest as rarely anyone outside of Europe cares about it.
