I am not sure what the purpose of this new thread is, OP.
There are already two other threads on this board discussing mixer promotion: 'Mixers to be banned' and 'Bitcointalk mixer ban, Altcointalk is active in that scope'. I did not see your posts in either of those threads. Why create a new one?

We all need to take responsibility for the choices we make.  And yeah, hearing stories of folks winning big at the casino or whatever can be inspirational for some people, but it can also be rough for others battling addiction issues.  However, I do not think it is on us to police what motivates people. Like how is that our responsibility?
683  Economy / Economics / Re: If Banks make money out of loans then they should reward those who borrow on: December 29, 2023, 09:51:47 PM
Yes If money doesn't existing without someone borrowing this then each person who i use credit or debt Will be rewarded by Banks.
My friend is full debt with mortgage but i told Him to not worry you are just victim of bank and financial system you are not only one.
I Understood allready that we Are all just victims of scam and that's ITS not If but when people will just say banks we don't need you If we don't get rewards.

Stop bullshitting.  We get that banks profit by lending money, but that dont automatically make everyone using loans or credit some kinda victim.  Borrowing can be pretty smart if you need to buy something big or invest in stuff, as long as you are responsible and make the payments on time. 

your buddy's got a mortgage to pay for his house.  Thats super common - mortgages tend to be long-term with interest lower than other loans.  Makes them relatively affordable for major purchases like a house.  If your friend keeps making those mortgage payments on schedule, eventually he will own the place.  And that can be a solid investment - he gets a roof over his head now, and later on he can sell the house for a chunk of change if he wants.

Instead of criticizing the financial system, why dont you offer some constructive solutions? How else do you suggest that young people who are starting in life build wealth and achieve their financial goals?

Are there some special benefits of SMF over other popular forum softwares like xenforo or vbulletin?

According to Wikipedia, the first public beta release of XenForo was released in October 2010, with a stable version released in March 2011. As far as I know, this forum is older than that. And as for vBulletin, it is proprietary software, not open-source.
685  Other / Meta / Re: What new changes would you like to see on Bitcointalk in 2024 ? on: December 29, 2023, 08:06:05 PM
I got some ideas for changes I wanna see happen on Bitcointalk.  First off, theres way too much spam and scams all over the place there and  it is super annoying trying to find real info or talk to people when theres all these fake bots and whatnot interfering.  We gotta get some better filters to block that junk. 

Also, searching for stuff here pretty much sucks.  The search engine we got now barely works half the time.  Upgrade to something more powerful thatll index everything people post.  That wouldd help big time when trying to find old threads about stuff.

Oh and it should be easier to use on phones and tablets! The site looks janky on mobile.  I end up pinchin and zooming like crazy trying to click buttons and links.  Optimize it to work good on smaller screens. 

They could also step up the community features.  Let us like or share good posts we find.  Get people more engaged.  Maybe even add some blockchain voting and identity checks.  Thatll secure things and give more control to real users.

Anyway those changes would really improve Bitcointalk in my opinion.  Make it less shady and annoying to use.
686  Other / Meta / Re: Second chances on: December 29, 2023, 07:51:14 PM
Could it be because they did not want their current accounts to be associated with the banned account or is there something else behind it?

Perhaps they do not have alt accounts but read the forum as guests?  Smiley

But to be serious, it is logical that they do not want to expose their current account, given that they are most likely ban evading all this time.
687  Economy / Speculation / Re: HODLers, When Will You Sell? on: December 28, 2023, 09:43:01 PM
All Bitcoin HODLers seem to have a price target in mind for when they will cash out and take profits.  Cant blame them - we all like making money.  But the data shows that long-term holding is the winning Bitcoin strategy over time. and  Whys that? Well, Bitcoin keeps chugging along, gaining more adoption and going up in value the longer it is around. 

Sure, traders try timing the volatile crypto market's ups and downs to turn quick profits.  Nothing wrong with taking some gains here and there.  But those who have stubbornly held their Bitcoin for years keep winning out big time.
688  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: about GPG signature on: December 28, 2023, 09:12:04 PM
you mean that we can verify the electrum.exe file i thought what we can verify is the signature file .gz.asc since in this case the hacker can keep the original

Even the smallest change to the exe file will invalidate the signature, and the archive (tar.gz) will also be affected. This is because the signature is specific to the entire file you download from the server, including the archive. If the exe file (or archive) has been modified, the signature verification will fail.

GPG signatures are a proof that distributed files have been signed by the owner of the signing key. For example, if this website was compromised and the original Electrum files had been replaced, signature verification would fail, because the attacker would not be able to create valid signatures. (Note that an attacker would be able to create valid hashes, this is why we do not publish hashes of our binaries here, it does not bring any security).

689  Economy / Economics / Re: Why must you used such money to purchased a car? on: December 28, 2023, 07:51:10 PM
The boy parents are very rich and the boy parents want the boy to become a good person in the future that made them to asked the  boy what did him want for them to buy as a gift, but the boy mentioned Rolls Royce that worth $28 millions despite the advice I gave to him to collect the money and use it to establish a business but he ignore my advice.

Now you're just bullshitting. Seconds ago you said that you don't know if your friend's parents or older brothers bought the car, and now you claim that his father asked him what he wanted to buy him because they wanted him to be a good person. None of what you say makes any sense and you just want to increase your post count. You need to stop doing that...

If you have such mind to your friend show that you are a bad friend because, a time will come when that your wealthy friend will know that you are after his money not a genuine friendship with him or her.

Apparently you're not such a good friend either. You ended your friendship because you didn't accept his decisions, and because he acted against your suggestions. Those are not the characteristics of a good friend.

What I did is it good or bad so that I will know how to apologize to him to continue the friendship with him.

What you did is really stupid.  While trying to help your friend make a good financial decision, you went overboard by ending your friendship when he did not follow your suggestion.  He is an adult who can make his own choices, even if you disagree.  You should apologize for overreacting and  your friendship matters more than being right.  You should explain you were wrong to cut ties, say you cherish having him in your life and ask if he can put this behind you two. 

That would be my advice if this were a true story, but since this is a complete fabrication, it doesnt really matter what you do. Maybe try to cut back on the drugs you use or something.  Wink
691  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ELI5 - Transaction Fees on: December 27, 2023, 09:42:04 PM
Can someone give me a BRIEF, SIMPLE explanation of how fees work?  How are they calculated?

Good question.  Its kinda complicated, with a few things that matter:

First up is how big the transaction is and, if it requires more space in the block, so miners want a bigger tip.

Theres also how fast you wanna move your coins.  You in a hurry? You can pay extra so the miners push your payment to the front of the line.  Gets it in the next block coming up.   

And heres the tricky one - how congested the whole network is.  More folks moving coins at once fees climb up.  Miners get flooded and can take the highest bidders.

So no crystal ball for future fees.  Too many moving pieces.  Network traffic jams are hard to predict.  But those are the basics - size, speed, congestion.  Thats the recipe behind transaction fees.
692  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin POW to POS the key? on: December 27, 2023, 08:52:27 PM
I agree. The actual miners running the proof-of-work hardware dont get to pick which transactions get processed.  They just do the number crunching assigned by the network. Switching over to proof-of-stake wont inherently fix the problem of junk transactions overloaded the system.  The real solution has little to do with how we handle the mining.  Its more about closing the exploits, limiting who can publish transactions and potentially rearchitecting how transactions get prioritized and processed.
693  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I don’t think bitcoin is now decentralized on: December 23, 2023, 08:13:03 PM
Yes it is my post, but it was deleted and no notification  at all .

I cost 20 mins to post ,but be deleted, so what kind of the forum , it is ?

Your post was not individually deleted, but the entire thread was trashed.  You wont get a notice when stuff like that happens.

When you see suspicious posts like that, and  that one was clearly spam, it is best not to engage and instead report them to let the mods handle it and  we try to keep things positive here, so next time maybe take a second look before jumping in or just move on to more constructive discussions.

Also, if you continue with spreading misinformation and spamming, sooner or later you will be banned from further participation in this forum.

I think you'll keep entertaining us  - for free.    Kiss
And when people like you suffer and perish in the next pandemic, that will entertain me. After all, that will be because you ignored my warning about bio-safety. Nobody else has given such a warning. Only I have. So you are in big trouble.

Oh, please, tell us more about your divine powers, oh Great One! Are you some kind of prophet, or maybe the messiah? Should we start sacrificing goats and bow down worshipping you as the second coming?

But seriously, I agree with Vod. You are just a good entertainer, nothing more. Keep doing what you are doing. You are so much fun!  Cheesy

I do not know if he really is who he says he is, but after reading some of his comments I can only say that there is something seriously wrong with this guy. I wouldnt rule out a possible mental disorder or something.

No sane person would say something like this: https://ninjastic.space/post/62933000
696  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin is the #1 crypto currency in the world if it's slow and expensive? on: December 23, 2023, 12:17:51 AM
Bitcoin was the first big cryptocurrency and that gives it an advantage.  There is only a limited amount that will ever exist, which makes it scarce too.  It is also decentralized, meaning no government or bank controls it and  as more places accept bitcoin, like companies and stuff it gets more popular.  The value goes up when more people want it.   

Even with those problems, bitcoin is still the biggest cryptocurrency.  Itll probably keep that top spot for a while since it had such a big head start and people trust it more than other cryptocoins.
697  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I don’t think bitcoin is now decentralized on: December 23, 2023, 12:06:22 AM
The miners are too centralized,and a lot of dust trans was made every day.

Do you even know what the word "decentralized" means? But for the sake of argument, let us assume you are referring to mining pools. How exactly would solo miners address the issue of network congestion and dust transactions?

I don’t think a normal man would make such a nonsense transaction.

Then dont. Or at least wait for the mempool to go back to normal.
698  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: I got scammed by whatsapp contact and exchange on: December 22, 2023, 09:10:32 PM
what i have done in the last 2 hours is:

- saved all screenshots, chats, transactions and so on
- contacted a lawyer
- made a report to the police
- i informed tether about it and reported the website

Thats probably all what I would do if I were in your place.

i know here are a lot good guys and girls with good answers and much knowledge.
Can i do anything additionaly or has anyone any tip for me?

Im sorry to say, but you should have thought of that before you did all that stupid shit. We could have warned you in time. Now it is too late Im afraid.
699  Economy / Services / Re: Compliance solutions on: December 22, 2023, 12:28:48 AM
No, this is not at all what you are talking about, but the opposite we are 3party vendor that provides KYC , identity verification for companies that owns crypto exchanges, online gambling, etc..

But who the f*ck are "you" really?  Just another anonymous trying to snatch up other people's personal information for their own benefit?
You claim to be a third-party vendor, but we have no way of verifying that. And even if you are, that doesnt mean you are trustworthy.  The crypto and gambling industries are full of scams and frauds, so dont mind me if I am a bit skeptical.

Everyone makes mistakes - nobody is perfect, so take anything someone tells you on here with a grain of salt. Do your research and double-check where they got their facts. Make sure that self-proclaimed expert is legitimate before believing everything they say.

I mean, we are all just people on here sharing ideas and trying to help each other out the best we can. But all of us make mistakes from time to time. Just keep an open, but skeptical mind with anything someone presents as the truth. Do your own digging and decide for yourself instead of just taking some random person's word for it. Even the experts on here can be wrong sometimes.
