2141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 Oscar Awards betting and discussions on: January 31, 2023, 10:36:10 AM
What happened to The Fabelmans?

It started as the favorite to win Oscar for best picture, but now it is being given odds of 15.00. I posted the odds from stake.com a few days ago. But odds have drastically changed since then. Latest odds are as follows (please compare them with my previous post):
That's a good question and I have no idea. I would somewhat understand if it bombed at other awards (all that affects the odds in the end) but it didn't and while The Fabelmans odds kept going up, Everything Everywhere All At Once kept going down. Even though its quite original in its concept (even too original for my taste), under all that chaos and parallel universe stuff its just another woke drama about accepting the different people and we all know how much Academy loves those.

I somehow hoped that with CODA winning Best Picture award last year Academy filled bs quota for a year or two so we may actually see agenda free movie winning an award this but I guess I was too optimistic.

Nakon sto su crnogorci svojevermeno navodno dali drzavljanstvo Vitaliku Buterinu, zanimljive kripto vijesti i dalje stizu od susjeda. Naime, njihov premijer Dritan Abazvoc je najavio da njihova centralna banka u suradnji sa Ripple planira rad na CBDC. Neka me netko ispravi ako grijesim, ali cini mi se da je to prva najava CBDC na Balkanu.

Montenegrin Prime Minister Dritan Abazović has announced on Twitter that his country is pursuing a digital currency in conjunction with Ripple. Abazović met with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and vice president James Wallis at Davos.Wallis is Ripple's vice president for central bank engagements and CBDCs. Abazović apparently had something like a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in mind in his announcement, as he stated in the thread:

    “In cooperation with @Ripple and the Central Bank, we launched a pilot project to build the first digital currency or stablecoin for Montenegro.”

What do you guys think about the possibility that bitcoin will crash down below 20k again before going beyond 24k?
That's entirely possible as we are not far away from 20k after all. I wouldn't count on it though if you are waiting for that to happen in order to buy more as for me even current price is a pretty good entry point.


I think 11-12k is still the potential bottom point. I hope so for the sake of another buying opportunity. I am worried for my hope that this gives my bias toward that bottom point! It is looking nice after this past few weeks though.
Those who wait for bitcoin to drop more for another "buying opportunity" usually don't buy it even if it drops to the price they initially waited and then just wait for another drop etc. Point is, there's no need to wait for bottom as its impossible to time it and instead it makes way more sense to just DCA instead.

S obzirom da je zadnji dan u mjesecu, krajnje je vrijeme da izbacim mjeseci pregled domaceg boarda za Prosinac 2022. Kao i svaki put do sada, pregled je napravljen uz pomoc @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboarda i @TryNinja Ninjastic.spacea.



Broj postova tijekom Prosinca 2022

Tijekom navdenog razdoblja na nasem boardu napisano je 273 posta sto je poprilicno manje u odnosu na Studeni tijekom kojeg je napisano cak 372 posta. Kao sto se vidi iz prilozenog pie charta dominiraju postovi napisani u Main boardu tako da je moguce alt sekcija bila manje aktivna nego inace. S obzirom da se pojavilo par novih clanova koji su aktivni, u slijedecom pregledu ocekujem dosta bolje brojeve.




Pregled situacije iz mjeseca u mjesec da se bolje vidi trend koji je i dalje nazalost uglavnom negativan iako je par prijasnjih mjeseci nagovjestalo mozebitnu promjenu. Nadam se da je 12. mjesec bio samo iznimka te da cemo nastaviti sa rastom.




Ovakva je situacija kad se usporedimo sa ostalim lokalnim boardovima. Rusi su standardno daleko ispred svih, dok ih slijede Turci i Nijemci. Mi se i dalje drzimo tu negdje oko sredine, a situcija bi po nas izgledala jos malo bolja da nisam prestao ukljucivati polumrtve/mrtve boardove kao Skandinavski, Nizozemski etc jer bi samim time bili vise prema sredini.





Analiza merita za Prosinac 2022

Po pitanju merita i dalje smo odlicni. Naime, tijekom Prosinca 2022 na nasem lokalu podijeljeno je 249 merita sto je neznatno manje u odnosu na Studeni i 266 podijeljenih merita. Situacija po tom pitanju je jos bolja ako se uzme u obzir cinjenica da je tijekom 12/2022 napisano skoro 30% manje postova nego mjesec ranije tako da je ovo u stavi super broj.




A evo i liste svih onih koji su podijelili i primili merit. U odnosu na 11/2022 tijekom kojeg je 16 clabova poslalo merit a 18 primilo, 12/2022 je bio slican sa 14 merit sendera te 19 merit receivera.




U usporedbi sa ostalim boardovima kad je u pitanju broj podijeljenih merita, mislim da stojimo dosta dobro te smo i dalje u gornjoj polovici a vjerujem da nasi merit sourcevi imaju jos dosta prostora da podjiele i vise merita, samo da je malo vise aktivnih clanova ili jednostavno vise postova.




Dok smo nekad na ovom chartu bili redovno na dnu unatoc nasoj kvaliteti, situacija je sada dijametralno suprotna te smo reodvno medju boardovima sa najvecim merit/post ratiom. S ozbirom na kvalitetu naseg boarda i manjak spama i shitpostova, mislim da je to i vise nego zasluzeno. Inace, mislim da nam je ovih 0.91 merita po postu tijeko m Prosinca 2022 ujedno i najbolji rezultat ikada. Kad sam tek pocinjao ove preglede prije ~3 godine, mislim da nam je ratio bio cca 0.15, a jos je i vladalo misljenje da je to sasvim ok i da nam ne treba vise merit sourceva.





Lista aktivnih clanova tijekom Prosinca 2022

Dok je tijekom Studenog 2022 broj clanova koji su napisali makar 1 post na nasem boardu bio prilicno veci (32), tijekom Prosinca taj broj je pao na 22. Pad se cini ogroman, ali koliko mogu primjetiti rijec je uglavnom o onima koji su napisali samo 1 post tako da to i nije neki veliki problem s obzirom da su core clanovi ostali i dalje aktivni.

Mislim da nije iznenadjenje da je slackovic i prosli mjesec bio na vrhu sa 50 postova, dok ga slijede Pmaalke sa 38 te Daniel91 i Trofo sa 27 napisanih postova a red je i spomenuti novog kvalitetnog clana SirJohnVonSlotty koji je na visokom 6 mjestu te je bas pravo osvjezenje za ovaj board. Svaka cast ekipa, samo tako dalje!

Is all quiet on the Netflix as well? I didnt have an idea
Yep, its on Netflix for quite some time. As a matter of fact, it even 'premiered' there.


Top Gun Im not surprised by especially, it is a remake and nothing new or edgy in its story exactly.
Top Gun was not remake but a sequel and there is a big difference between those tho things. But even if movie was remake, its not the reason for Academy not to award it with Best Picture Oscar. For example, last year's winner in that category (CODA) was a remake of the french movie The Bélier Family and there were other remakes in the past that achieved the same. By the way, not saying that Top Gun should win it, just saying that Academy doesn't care much if movie is remake or not as long as it fits their agenda.

Going deeper on the analysis I also noticed there is a big discrepancy also in he number of active users. While on ninjastic.space there were 54 active users, you reported 38 only.
Yet another fuck up I guess that I can't really explain. Anyway, all three charts (I had to sort merit/post chart as well since it was affected by a change of number of posts) have been updated with correct numbers and I appreciate letting me know.


Senders/receivers are off again agains ddmrddmr....
Hm I see 27 senders and 34 receivers on Merit Dashboard and the same numbers are in the monthly overview. Unless I am (again) missing something.

2147  Other / Meta / Re: my account have gotten hacked for some years now on: January 30, 2023, 04:59:05 PM
security logs ip change have all the details my friend. i alread said it the account is mostly used and created in the Netherlands if anyone have logic they can see that the accounts ip is now used by a weird country
People move around (and/or use VPN) so changed IP is not the proof enough that account changed hands. And most importantly, you don't have any solid proof that you are the original owner of that account.

By the why, how come you waited for so long to report the hack?
2148  Other / Meta / Re: my account have gotten hacked for some years now on: January 30, 2023, 04:20:07 PM
Maybe I missed something, did you ever post that address with that account?
According to ninjastic.space he didn't share any address with that account. Without either that or access to email afaik nothing can be done to retrieve that account.

It will be better to provide some more information like when you post last message here and also You must have received the email change mail in your previous Email. You should provide this screenshot here so that moderators see your case properly.
Since he said that he doesn't have access to that email I don't think that would work. But even if he had, I doubt that would serve as any sort of evidence since it can be faked.



@Fleshslasher you claim in that first post that email has been changed, while bpip shows that it hasn't been changed. Are you 100% sure that you don't have access to that email address?
2149  Other / Meta / Re: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity on: January 30, 2023, 03:48:08 PM
One question I wanted to ask you last month, but I actually forgot. I have seen the number of post per local board diverging when compared from the results of @ddmrddmr dashboard. As per dashboard posts in the Italian board are 724 for both November and December, while per your report they are at 702 and 403 respectively.

Do you have any insight on this?
Ddmrddmr counts posts in his Merit Dashboard different from ninjastic.space and that's the cause of that difference. While ninjastic.space counts all posts written in certain timeframe (even those that got deleted later), Merit Dashboard counts posts based on difference between post number so if there's many deleted posts in certain period or if mods move them around, that can affect the total number of posts showed. He can give you a more detailed answer on this.

Russian board had big problems with that as their admins constantly deleted old posts causing Merit Dashboard being unreliable so I started using ninjastic.space instead. That tool is not perfect either as it shows inflated number (due counting deleted posts) but it give a clearer picture when it comes to boards with many posts deleted on the regular basis.

edit: for some reason ninjastic.space now shows 861 posts for Italian board during November. Since I doubt such difference was caused by some change in ninjastic.space, I guess I made a mistake and it will be sorted asap.

Meni je film odličan bio. I prije nego sam pročitao ko je radio na filmu, pomislio sam pa ovo je neka vrsta nastavka In Brugges. A i glumački dvojac je identičan. Kompletna radnja je smještena u par lokacija istog sela i baš su naglasak stavili na kvalitet glume.
Ja sam bas zbog toga sto su ista trojica radila na odlicnom In Bruges imao velika ocekivanja od tog filma te na srecu nije razocarao. Tesko da ce osvojiit Oscara, ali mislim da cu se ove godine ici na izneandjenje i kladie se bas na njega (favorit je ono govno Everything Everywhere All at Once).


Serija 1899 je već preporučena i stavio sam je na listu onih koje bi volio pogledati. Ali ju je Netflix već nakon prve sezone otkazao. Nisam čitao zašto ali vidim da je dobro ocjenjena i od strane publike a i kritičara. Ne vidim onda smisao da počnem gledati seriju koja se neće nastaviti.    
Moze se serija odgledati iako je druga sezona otkazana, ali ja nisam bas bio pretjerano odusevljen sa njom. Pocne zanimljivo, ali sve sto ide dalje to mi je bila manje dobra tako da i da su izbacili drugu sezonu, vjerojatno ne bi gledao.


Pogledao sam jučer The Menu: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9764362/

Ne mogu reć da je u rangu "najboljih filmova", ali je fun watch, pogotovo ako ste s ekipom i tražite nešto "na brzaka" za pogledat. Ne treba ti kojekakav mozak za pratit priču, a ima fun scena  Grin
Je, The Menu je skroz solidan film i definitvno nije gubitak vremena.



Sto se tice filmova pogledao sam ovog novog Avatara i nazalost nije dobar. Dok je prvi bio zanimljiv zbog izvedbe i jer je bio nesto novo, ovdje nemamo vise ni to te je samo ostala jednostavna i banalna prica te hrpa animacije a ja i nisam bas fan animiranih filmova.

Od serija, The Last of Us sam pogledao prve 3 epizode i za sada izgleda kao jedna od najboljih novih serija, a odgledao sam i 2 SW serije: Andor- smjestena u vrijeme između episode 3 i 4, imao sam mala ocekivanja jer se glavni lik pojavljuje tek u onom Rogue One filmu, ali se na kraju pokazala kao dobra serija te cu radi pogledati i drugu sezonu kad izadje. Druga SW serija je Obi-Wan Kenobi- smjestena par godina nakon Episode 6 ok koje sam imao velika ocekivanja s obzirom da se radi od jednom od najpopularnijih likova u SW univerzumu a jos imaju i dobrog glumca (Ewan Mcgregor) na raspolaganju. Ali Djaba sve to kad je scenarij los. Srecom ima samo 6 epizoda te nece biti druge sezone tako da ako nista nisam potrosio hrpu vremena na to.
2151  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it safe to acquire Bitcoin without having the basic knowledge? on: January 30, 2023, 10:27:05 AM
I was talking to a neighbour within the weekend and suddenly he grew so much passion in wanting to invest but now the problem is that his wanting me do this for him with excuses of not having the basic knowledge and I've told him to Google and do his own research about it.
I might be wrong here, but it seems to me like you hyped him about bitcoin so naturally he wanted to invest and that was your first mistake - don't hype anyone about bitcoin. I am telling this because if you explained to him what Bitcoin is all about, he wouldn't even ask you to do this for him.

Also, since you talked to him about Bitcoin, you could have explained to him about ways to securely buy and store bitcoin instead just saying "Google it" because there's load of misinformation on the Internet and he could end up getting scammed.

Send me a PM before your next update. I will try to update the rate asap.  Let's see how it works.
I could just send you .csv with post numbers so you don't have to bother with it.


I agree with the active forum members that graph is much more clear.... for monthly stats I think we can divide it like 1 Post, 5 Posts and +5 Posts.
I was thinking more like 1-2 posts, 3-9 and 10+ but will play around a little bit more with it and in the meantime maybe someone else share their opinion.


Another request please make the colors bright for this graph too like other graphs, dark colors are nice and more prominent.
I chose those colours as I wanted numbers inside the charts to be more visible. The brighter chart color is, harder is to read what's inside them while other charts don't have numbers inside so I can chose any colour I want.

Did you watch All Quiet on the Western Front already?
Unfortunately not yet. Plan was to watch it this weekend but on Friday I saw one episode of Andoran, got hooked on it and decided to binge the whole season over the weekend. I plan to sort that out this week as I've been postponing for way too long (initial plan was to watch it on the same day it premiered on Netflix and we see how that turned out)


It might win for the best cinematography hehe. The sportsbooks already have this as the favorite, however.
Hah, I thought that Elvis is a favorite, which would make it a first woman (afaik) to ever win an Oscar in that category. I am somewhat  surprised that Top Gun didn't get nominated and I would like to see Banshees as I really enjoyed that movie visually.


I thought some comments in this thread that said it had odds of 5.00 was true. I was not very happy to see the odds was only 1.50. But it might have a better chance than expected in the best adapted screenplay category.
Maybe those were the old odds and now they changed. I see that odds on Everything Everywhere All at Once keeps dropping as well, now its ~1.45.

He isn't going to delete a random post and give you the ID for it. He will give you the ID of a post that was already deleted in the past for whatever reason.
Yeah I know he wouldn't delete a random post. From my understanding I would have to ask @asu to delete his post so I can get another one right after the first one.


It worked in my thread, maybe it will in your as well. If theymos can't do it, he will let you know.
Nah, I don't wanna bother him with it, its not that important. I thought that it can maybe be done on mod/admin level in a simple way but since it can't I'll just sort that out in a different way. Anyway, thanks for suggestion.
2155  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Signature Primary Purpose (Advertising or Gift) on: January 29, 2023, 04:48:07 PM
That can happen if the shitposter joins bounty campaigns that don't have any merit or reputational requirement. But signature campaigns that pay a decent amount of BTC per week to their partakers usually take users from full members to Legendary; and now the merit system requires that people get at least 100 merits to get the full member rank, and other ranks have their merit requirements too, i don't think a shitposter can earn 100 merits and above
There are still plenty of shitposting old era high ranking accounts that are regularly getting into good paying bitcoin signature campaigns so its not like all of them have to start from scratch. Something like that was much harder just a few years ago as number of campaigns were much lower, but situation changed drastically in that regard and its the sellers market at the moment.


i don't think a shitposter can earn 100 merits and above, it would be very difficult, and if there are some of them that may manage to get it in somehow, they are very few in number
That was maybe in the past, but at the moment there's enough merit being shared that even a shitposters can earn decent amount of merit. Not maybe enough to be ahead of the activity like a decent and above posters usually do, but eventually they can reach medium ranks like Full Member/Sr Member.

The problem is that I need your updated data to update my race chart!
Yeah I understand that I would have to update the overview and not include it immediately. Unless I give you (or you take it from ninjastic.space before me) post data in advance which could also be a solution.


Read through this thread to get some insights on how it could be resolved. Though Pmalek’s case was resolved in a simple manner (Charles-Tim deleted a post that was in fourth place within the thread, thus Pmalek was able to have three posts in a row to do what he needed to do), there are prior cases where it has been done.
Thanks, that's exactly the topic I had in mind I just couldn't remember the details. It seems like a lot of hassle as someone else's post would have to be deleted in order to make room for mine so I think that I will just add the info I planned in that first post.

Yeah I saw, but that part about "Btt forum time passing with thread posting" makes me think that does something different and not trading for a living. Professional traders that are able to live from that are extremely rare and based on OP activity he doesn't seem to me like one.


Even if only one rule were introduced that participation in bounty campaigns can only be from Member rank and above, it would prevent the creation of farm alt accounts.
Thing is, creation of alt farm accounts is in the interest of bounty managers because if they even set a Jr Member rank (let alone Member) as a minimum requirement to join, they would soon be out of work. They need numbers to show to their clients, and without alt farms numbers would be too low.

Let's be frank, Europe was helped not by analysts' mistakes, but by this abnormally warm winter. There has never been a frost so far this winter.
We have to thank HAARP for the mild winter. Cheesy Joke aside, even if winter was harsher we would manage and people wouldn't be forced to burn their own furniture in order to survive. We would pay the increased gas price, or wear more clothes while inside (and not walk around the house in shorts and tshirts) and that's about it.


I don't know if those saying these things are just propagandists or brainwashed people coming from privileged families who have no idea how the other half lives in their own countries!
Yep, we who live in Europe have no idea how our neighbours live (btw I am living in the rural part of one of the poorest countries in EU) but people from Pakistan and Iran are here to explain the real situation.
2159  Other / Meta / Re: New bitcointalk rank? 🔥 on: January 29, 2023, 08:10:32 AM
The merit sources don't share the merits amongst themselves in your above senario.  The less merits to share around, the harder it is to obtain those merits should equate to higher quality posts to obtain the fewer merits on offer.
Less merits = better, quality posts.
So you want people to grind for every single merit? Even in current situation where there's abundance of merit, forum numbers have been dwindling down for years so I don't think that it's in the forum's best interest to make it even harder to rank up. After all, isn't the main goal of the merit system to make it harder for shitposters to rank up, and not make it a heavy grind for an average member? (imho it shouldn't be)

2160  Other / Meta / Re: New bitcointalk rank? on: January 28, 2023, 10:22:35 PM
theymos' experiment with merits as a means of rank promotion is an abject failure as the DT1 merit sources golden shower each-other with high merits for status and the newbies get nothing trickling down, hence their prolific shit posting and alt farms.
In the ~3 and a half years since I joined the forum its never been easier for newbie accounts to rank up. First of all, number of posts written dropped down significantly (probably in the region of 50%, maybe even more) meaning less competition, while in the same time there was an increase in the amount of smerit generated each month. Combine those two things and you get a situation where all you have to be is a half decent poster in order to rank up regularly.

Problem is, there is a lack of even an average newbies so what will high ranking members do when there's lack of decent newbies other than share the merit among themselves.
