I sure hope theymos doesn't consider adding more ranks. So many people take this forum way too seriously (just remember those silly self-congratulatory topics that are thankfully not so popular anymore) and adding more ranks will just create extra craziness in that regard.


Everything needed (for the start) for an average Newbie is already in the pinned messages in Beginners & Help board. Problem is that many totally ignore those which can get them into trouble (mainly not realizing forum's stance of plagiarism).

I wouldn't count on getting a specific criteria to get a local board because I don't think that Nigerians got it either, and if you think about it its even better not to have it as it may get abused. The most important thing is to keep being active in both your local topic and your request to get one and eventually you will get your own local board. Just don't get disheartened if it doesn't happen in the next few months because as we noticed, this procedure may take some time.

Of course he wouldn't be even close to favorite if he didn't die (probably wouldn't even get nominated) but bookies were so sure in his win that they gave measly ~1.08 (not even worth the bet) while odds on Hopkins winning were ~7. Just because someone was clearly better (like Hopkins was and it was obvious to everyone who watched The Father and that other superhero movie) doesn't mean that it will win an Oscar as history is full of undeserved winners, unfortunately.

In some categories there are obvious favorites, but big surprises are still possible. Few years ago Chadwick Boseman was a huge favorite (mainly because he died prior the ceremony) but in the end Anthony Hopkins won the award (well deserved win I must add) so I wouldn't say that betting doesn't make sense. After all, there are many categories without a clear favorite which makes it more interesting and worth betting.


If you are so sure that its an easy money, wage a bigger amount and let's see how it goes.  Problem is, when you have clear favorites, odds tend to be way too small so sometimes its not even worth it to bet because of bad risk to reward ratio.

Contrary to popular (ignorant) belief, Binance has been around for only 5 years (for some reason people think that they have been around much longer) so its way too early to say that they stand the test of time. If they are still around in 10 years without major hacks/problems then we can talk about it.


And what is that niche, because Binance meddles in almost everything crypto related.


CEX definitely played their tole in making crypto more popular, but we also shouldn't close our eyes before obvious problems and Dangers of Binance monopoly.

I just wanna further explain this is true only for nomination process, in which editors nominate editors, cinematographers nominate fellow cinematographers etc. For an actual Oscar awards, all members can vote in all categories, no matter the branches. And yeah, Academy now has more than 10k members.


This is true only for the Best Picture in for which every Academy member can nominate its favorite, while only members of actor branch nominate actors for all 4 categories.


This is correct, only the Best Picture has preferential voting. Some will say that it is more fair, but I personally don't like this system as it causes the most "agreeable" movie to win instead those that actually take some risk.

What matters is that behind both of are people and they can have malicious intent that might cause you lose your money and if we don't lack something in crypto, that's those kind of people.

Problem with a closed-source wallet is that no one outside of the company that made it can check the code, making sure that there are no hidden surprises waiting to be exploited unlike the open source one that are regularly checked by community.

Tell that to millions of people that lost money in FTX and Celsius. In the end, why take extra chance for losing your money when there are alternative open-source solutions on the market.



You think that those kind of things are done manually, one by one in order to give enough time to others to withdraw their money? If company performs exit scam, you probably won't have time to do anything and will only realize when its too late.

How much Doge would you have now if you did that on FTX?  

I know some people that are doing exactly that on Binance, and they are not newbies or anything of that sort. Unlike 99% of the people, they fully understand the risk so if Binance goes down they won't blame CZ/US government/whoever but instead only themselves.

Newbies like you? Buddy, you are a Full Member registered 5 years ago, you are hardly a Newbie. Or maybe you actually wanted to write this with one of your alt accounts but you forgot to switch it?

@OP others already shared you some good advice, but I would like to add one more: don't pretend to know more than you do as that can get you into trouble (plagiarism=getting banned). Asking the right question can be more valuable to this forum that creating a topic with some generic advice, like many new members do around here.

That was my initial thought as well, but after those two pleaded guilty I don't think that there's any chance of him getting away with fine only. I mean, both Caroline Ellison and that Yang guy pleaded guilty for some serious stuff (money laundering conspiracy, wire fraud, securities fraud etc) and probably involved him in all of that.

I don't expect him spending many years in prison either, but I don't think that he will walk away from it as easy as you may think. Don't be so pessimistic.  

I don't see much evidence of that tbh.


There is nothing wrong with either of those things. Password & email change and/or change in posting styles are a common red flags when it comes to account that changed hands or were hacked(which is again not forbidden but highly discouraged), hence this topic.

An amateur hour. They obviously know nothing about this forum thinking that they will avoid getting tagged if they used new account. Anyway, I tagged him and it would be a good idea to flag him as well.
I see that some high ranking accounts joined signature campaign. I guess I'll have to send PMs again, to warn them of the consequen ces of their actions.

edit: flagged him as well in order to warn the newbies joining that campaign https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3078

Ako imaju aparate za otkrivanje ne znači da automatski moraju provjeriti svaku novčanicu nego samo ako im je sumnjivo. Sjećam se kad sam prije cca 15 godina bio na ljetovanju u Grčkoj pa sam se iznenadio kad su mi redovno u dućanima provjeravali novčanice sa tim aparatima, pogotovo one od 50 eura tek izašle iz bankomata. Valjda su im automatski bile sumnjive te koje su bile ganc nove.


Pa naravno da (najvjerojatnije) nije radnik išao riskirati zatvor i otkaz na poslu da bi zaradio neku siću sa varanjem na kovanicama nego mu ih je neki specijalac podvalio pa ih je onda on ne znajući proslijedio dalje.

Uglavnom, peglas karticu i boli te briga, dok se situacija malo ne smiri

The way I am dealing with a problem of a a seed phrase being destroyed by fire is that I stored a copy of my seed phrase with another family member who I absolutely trust. Another good way to make sure that seed is not destroyed by fire is metal plate with engraved seed phrase.


Of course it can be memorized if you put some effort into it, but I would never rely solely on my own memory for something as important as seed phrase. Beside the obvious dangers of simply forgetting about it, there is always a possibility of some head injury/illness that can affect your memory permanently.

Who then exactly represents Advantage? Since you claim to be a registered company in Canada, why not revealing who exactly is behind your company, your previous experience and competence? And please don't use "satoshi was also anonymous" argument since he didn't ask anyone to invest anything, unlike many similar business that ask people to invest money while wanting to stay anon and then use that ridiculous excuse.


This would make sense if you got few dozens new users, but getting 400 members in a few days looking for work is far fetched.

Looking at those odds, I don't understand either. At the moment, it is a bad bad and for me personally at least two actors were better in their roles (Brendan Gleeson and Barry Keoghan for Banshees a The only thing I can think of why everyone is pushing "Everything Everywhere All at Once" is because it has certain amount of wokeness, and we know that Academia loves these kind of things. Anyway, 1.36 on him is not worth the risk, looks like this year I will go for surprises and not the favorites.


This wouldn't be a bad bet imho, she did a good job there.

Some to get measly return via staking, some simply due ignorance, thinking that exchanges are sort of banks and that they funds are "safu", some are simply too afraid to hold their own coins and would rather put that responsibility in someone else's hands. Neither of these reasons make any sense, but that's people.



 Since their "safu" fund is allegedly 1 billion and Binance is in control of tens of billions of dollars, you can imagine what would happen and whether they would be able to reimburse everyone.


In the early days bitcoin attracted mostly people who were heavily into privacy, freedom, believed in "be your own bank" thing, but majority of bitcoiners nowadays don't really care about any of those things exepct numbers going up, so this example of yours doesn't surprise me one bit.


And how exactly you get "higher exchange rates" by storing your crypto on the exchange? Exchanges are for trading (exchanging) currencies, not for storing.

Well, if you wrote 38 (out of which 12 were new topics) posts today like he did, you also would have to be very fast and not waste your time to actually think about the answer

This guy has been pooping all over the forum for the last couple of days, I think that he could use a temporary ban to chill.

Given the Bisq low volume, it would take you a long time to cash out 200 bitcoin that way. But I agree, cashing out 200 bitcoin at this day and age is not that hard if you know where to look, and people that managed to hack him are surely not some noobs.


Oh damn, I had no idea that it used to be like that in the early days. Just a thought of typing my seed into some web browser app or whatever it was makes me very uncomfortable. I got my Ledger Nano S back in the late 2017 (after I lost almost everything I had) and wouldn't go back on any other type of cold storage.


My guess is yes, because if he was hacked before, he would be way more careful than he was. Btw not saying that he was careless, but he would probably be extra careful it it has already happened in the past.
