Nice catch @OP, as always.

Seems like Silver Coin used to be known as Aceh Coin. They changed the name buy they kept their plagiarized  whitepaper.

They probably changed the name as they were busted few months ago plagiarizing Reserve Protocol's whitepaper.

6602  Other / Meta / [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity on: March 09, 2020, 09:03:18 AM
For the last few months I am writing short overview of our local board posts and merit activity. I was curious how we compare with other boards, so I made few charts for February report. Might as well share it here too, some people may find it useful/interesting, and I'll add one more chart with merit/post ratio.

As I said in the title, it will be  monthly overview, and brief, so I don't plan to go into details. All data was taken from @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard.



Number of posts in the period between January 28th and February 28th

As seen in the chart below, Russian board is by far the most active one, having almost as many posts as all other local boards combined, followed by German and Turkish local boards. I knew that Russian board is very active, but I didn't know there is such difference compared to rest of them.
Few local boards that have negative post difference are missing, like Chinese and Scandinavian.






Number of merits in the period between January 28th and February 28th

There is no surprise that Russian local board is yet again on the top, considering their activity, but difference between them and few others like German, Turkish and Pilipinas is significantly smaller  compared to the  post difference.






Merit/Post ratio

Since i made charts for posts and merit, might as well compare that data to get  merit/post ratio. I must say that results are surprising, and for some boards might be even misleading (e.g. Dutch board had quite a few posts deleted compared to their activity, and that might pump their ratio). Like in the post chart, some boards are excluded due negative post count, or in Hebrew case not getting even single merit.
I expect this chart to change quite a lot each month and shouldn't be  taken too seriously, as many things can affect it, like deleted posts, merit giveaways etc.

Currently watching the live coverage of the Los Angeles show, Lakers @ Clippers.
Yeah me too, thank God for Sunday and early games so fans in Europe can watch it at the normal times, and no better game this season than Clippers vs Lakers. Not a great game though, awful shooting night, both teams are below 40% ( and below 15% for three). Except Paul George who is kicking ass this game, as you said.
Same thing at the start of the  2nd half, still forcing  threes, and still missing. Let's hope it gets better.

And it's over, Lakers were simply better and deserved the win. Before start of the season I thought that Clippers are the favorites to win the title, but I must admit that Lakers simply look like a better team. Clippers will have to get much better in order to beat them in the playoff.
6604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: March 08, 2020, 06:22:56 PM
Others might not agree with me, but in this era, basketball games is soft. That's why players are not that banged in and out and to some extent could factor why players can still maintain their form despite playing 10-15 seasons.

As compare to the late 80's-90's and early 2000 wherein the game is pretty physical. Today you can go to the ring uncontested, as compare to those era that once you get inside, for sure there are going to be a lot of help and chances are you will get hurt with elbows poke in the face etc.
NBA was way more physical back in the 80s and 90s, with Detroit Pistons and their "Bad Boys" as best example of that. They based  their team on very aggressive and defense oriented players like Isiah Tomas, Dennis Rodman and Bill Laimbeer, and  managed to  win back to back titles in 1989 and 1990. With today's rules, something like that is not possible anymore. They even had something called Jordan Rules, special tactic to  neutralise him as much as possible. Here is a YT video too, for those that would like to know more
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2v0LOhjsJs

But i can understand the change of rules, as despite Detroit being very good, they were still hated by many for their style, and after all, goal of NBA is to make as much money as possible, so they worked towards that, and now we have Harden having something like 13 FT attempts per game, on average. I would like to see him play few games against prime Detroit team in 89/90 season  Grin


When you dunk on someone you get that crowd cheering like crazy to pump you up and that might affect you, without that, why would you even go for a flashy dunk? I think it could be worse because players may not feel the supporters outside of the arena for later on but just give up and not give their 100% since nobody is there.
While I agree that it would suck if some NBA games are played with no fans due Corona virus, and it would certainly be less enjoyable, I doubt that it would affect players that much. Here in Europe basketball fans are way louder, and make much better atmosphere (good examples are Red Star, Partizan, Aris, PAO and Olympiacos) , and it is not very unusual that some game are played without fans (mostly bans due some incidents), and team are still performing properly. Fans help without doubt up to certain extent, but in the end, it's all about players on the court. Let's hope it doesn't come to that, especially since playoff is near.

Still this doesn't explain why the payment address is the same. If they are different entities then atleast the addresses should be different. Can you call upon the reps of Kawbet to come in here and explain or else you are risking destroying your reputation.
If this  really is the case, that same address is used in both 1xbet and Kawbet but they just used same template and due negligence same address was left, this is gross incompetence, and I don't know why would someone trust them with their money if they can't do basic things right.

But as i said, that's best case scenario, more realistic one is that both sites are controlled by the same people.

Ako ti nije problem, daj stavi link. Na mobitelu sam pa mi nije zgodno tražiti po forumu, a na Services nisam pronašao. Sjećam se da je bila neka tema ali kako prije nisam tražio BTC kampanje, nisam spremio link.

Sjecam se da sam i ja na pocetku traganja pitao kako samo skuzite, pa mi je onda netko sherao ovaj link. Iako moram priznati da ja uglavnom u zadnje vrijeme pratim tako  da  odem direktno na services board, nekako svako malo provirim tamo da vidim sta ima, gledam ako bi moglo uletit nisto mimo sig kampanja, mozda neki prijevodi ili tako nesto slicno gdje bi se mogao zaraditi koji satoshi.

What is happening with the Rockets? are they expose by the Clippers here? I was thinking it would be a close game but it seems like the Clippers are betting them every quarter,.. Rockets are dead when their 3 point shooting is not hitting, Clippers knows how to beat them?
It was just a horrendous  shooting night for Rockets. When you shoot 7/43 for three points, you can't expect  to win against weak teams, let alone one of the main contenders, Clippers. On top of that, Clippers exploited their small lineup with Harrell and especially Zubac, 2 very good centers. I still can't believe how easily Lakers got rid off very talented and still young center Zubac, and for  Mike Muscala, who  played like crap for them, and they eventually get rid of him. That was one of the weirder trades I've seen in a while, made no sense at the time, and still doesn't.

This small ball lineup is for sure interesting to watch and kudos to Rockets for trying it, but i doubt that they can go far with this tactic.

Krenula nova signature kampanja,  FreeBitco.in, cini se skroz solidna. Testni period od 4 tjedna, minimalno 25 postova tjedno od cega 5 mora biti u gambling dijelu ali ono sto je dobro je da se broje i postovi u lokalnom dijelu.
Sretno svima koji se prijave, bit ce navala s obzirom na manjak dobrih kampanja u zadnje vrijeme.

Samo pitanje... Znači li to isključivo u Gambling sekciji ili može i u podforumima (npr. Gambling discussion)?
Koliko sam primjetio, rekao je Gambling Boards, tako da mi je logicno da se postovi u Gambling Discussion dijelu takodjer broje. Naveo je samo da se postovi u  Games and Rounds dijelu gambling boarda nece brojati.

Not a good start for a project wanting to explore the medical data of their users. And how can you trust your medical info if they can't even secure their own website? And with the plagiarism issue, it is really sad that they have to resort in copying from someone's work and not have the effort of creating their own. Waiting for the response of the team why such action?
It says it all you have to know about some project, when they copy main explanation and put it on their website. If they are so lazy and dishonest now at the beginning, imagine what would happen if they raised few millions of USD.

I gave them  time to answer to some questions, but since that plagiarized content is still there and  they decided to ignore my questions, nothing else left for me other than tagging. Maybe that will get their attention, will see.

@OP
Care to explain why you took content that is not yours, and presented it as your own right there on the main website page? I am talking about the content of the article about another health project that you took. It was an interview with their CEO, and you just used parts of that. Therefore, you plagiarized.

Quote
Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions"[citation needed] and the representation of them as one's own original work.

Plagiarism is considered academic dishonesty and a breach of journalistic ethics. It is subject to sanctions such as penalties, suspension, expulsion from school[3] or work,[4] substantial fines and even incarceration.Recently, cases of "extreme plagiarism" have been identified in academia.The modern concept of plagiarism as immoral and originality as an ideal emerged in Europe in the 18th century, particularly with the Romantic movement.

Now, why do you think anyone should invest in your project when you are not able to use your own words to explain  what is your project about, let alone finish it successfully?

Where do you see this reports in your profile?
In order to get this option, you have to make at least 300 valid reports. And then when you click on "Report to moderator", you have an extra option to see your report history. I must admit it is quite usefulto have that option, being able to track your reports, and especially to know which ones are marked bad.

I do not understand. I have been told many times that forum fraud is not moderated, and apply the red tag  for shit posting or spam is wrong.

Here it the quote from Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ

Q: Why haven't you banned <insert scammer username here> who is an obvious scammer?
A: Possible (or real, not for me to decide) scams are not moderated to prevent moderator abuse. If we start picking out which ones we call "scammers" and ban, we would make a lot of decisions based on biased opinions.
When they say that scams are not moderated, that means account promoting scam won't be automatically banned, but that doesn't stop you from tagging that account, as shillers  are definitely untrustworthy, and might cause people loose money.
Good example is Coinsbit Announcement thread. Almost all shill accounts (probably hundreds of them) active in that thread are tagged.

As i said before, tagging those accounts often seems pointless, as they just use batch of new accounts, or they simply ignore the tag and continue with business as usual, so people don't bother that much with tagging. I personally just report their posts to moderators, and that's about it.
