I been trying to say like five times now that the signatures are a problem because they generate spam.
Spam reduces forum activity.
Because spam is annoying.

Nobody understand it, so i been trying to explain the same thing with other words, not trying to push my agenda to ban signatures, just pointing out that they are annoying.  and i been called names and that i should disable signatures and that i should do other thing to bypass the spam.


I also pointed out that this conversation is pointless because most of the members are worried because the reduced activity in the forum and they are of course worried because they will lose their income once this forum dies.

I also pointed out that those members who are running the spam signature are slowly killing the forum so why they complain? as an example i give you the Easter Island, inhabitants of those islands cut all the trees to move the head stones, they cut all the trees of the island so the population declined and collapsed, so imagine talking with an Easter Island resident and he is telling you how he can make the Island better, and you tell him that maybe he should not cut all the trees, and he tell you, yes but we need to move those head stones, and they keep telling you, how we make the island better? and you say again, don't cut the trees, and then the loop never ends, well, that is you with your signature.

Because signatures are not like TV or Radio ads, Bitcointalk signatures are annoying because there are only a few running and they are all the same, like in this tread, how many Chipmixer signatures are?

I find this comical,
A few years ago a couple of BTC developers wanted to increase the block size and other features on the BTC code to make BTC better.
I am new here, well not that new, i had an account long time ago and i was inactive during the time all this forks occur, 2017-2019, the rest of the story we all know, the majority of BTC developers didn't agree to those changes, so those developers move on with the forks.

Something similar is happening right now, old members of this forum are worried because Bitcointalk is having less and less activity and they will not be able to earn money from their signatures, sooner or later this forum it will die if something doesn't change, so they post in this tread and they propose the most ideotic ideas to bring to life the forum like banning users from 3rd world countries, and then someone (me) tell you that the signatures and you (those with signatures) say no
 because this will affect you economically. You are killing the forum for your profit. But this is not a coin and nobody will fork it, there are already alternatives out there.


So what is the point on creating post like this one if the post dosn't serve the purpose on finding a solution to the problem?
and that line above is the whole point that the signatures are the problem because they affect me directly and why users will continue to leave this forum, because nobody listen to them, seems like just a little group have control over everybody else.

Wild salmon is healthier and tastier than farmed salmon. There is a good reason for this - it is because the wild salmon has to fight against the current.

When i was saying "fighting against the current" i meant to say, if you fight the current you will get tired fast, drawn and die, this is actually an usefull tip when you are in a river, lake or the sea, if a current take you away don't be afraid and take the current, go with the current, once you are not in the current then swim to where you want to go, of course if i am a salmon, i can jump waterfalls and do other amazing things like breath under the water, but unfortunately Bitcointalk users are human and not fish and i doubt salmon are smart enough to understand crypto, maybe dolphin can one day understand it if we teach them using that Elon Musk brainlink device.

When i said "fighting against the current" in the particular case of Bitcointalk i was trying to say, why Bitcointalk needs to spend so much time, effort and money to bring new users when they don't like it here, and i can tell you why, because i am a new user and i see that this forum future is nothing else than a library for old information, the reason why new users don't like Bitcointalk is the annoying spam from Chipmixer is everywhere in this forum, then there is the annoying warning that every single post is a scam like the Onion tread, then everybody is a scammer and they are calling others scammer like in the Namecoin tread, there is also old members making jokes that nobody understand and then something amazing happened, Discord that was used for gaming became popular in Crypto, and the spam is less, there is no scam warning when i join any discord group, and nobody is calling each other a scammer, maybe Bitcointalk can own a discord channel, but i find it pointless because i bet nobody will join.

Why you want to bring new users to this forum? that will be like fighting against the current, and you know what happen to those who cant fight the current...
This forum should remain how it is, about BTC, maybe some of the subforums can be removed or can be disabled, read only mode, like the altcoin forum because no one use it anymore.
And we should have a Bitcointalk day, that can be the the same day as pizza day, so everybody once a year, will remember that Bitcointalk was the most popular forum about crypto and died, and we can celebrate having one minute of silence because the forum is dead and nobody use it anymore.

My all-time favorite is Pretty Woman and I do not think any other movie can come near it. After seeing that movie I instantly fell in love with her. It falls under the category of Romantic comedy but the chemistry between Richard Gere and Julia Roberts is worth watching.

I totally don't support that, Pretty Woman i find it disgusting, who would want to have a serious relationship with a whore?
I will never do that even if that whore looks like the most beautiful woman in the world that is Rosanna Arquette
9  Other / Meta / Re: Reduced forum activity on: September 25, 2020, 02:45:44 AM
Probably one of the reason the forum activity is reducing is that those members that make it are no longer here.

Just think about this, if you invested a small amount of money in crypto between 2010 and 2014 and you made lot of money and you are still holding it because you didn't bet in a scam online casino then why you want to be posting emotionless comments and behaving like human spambot while spamming the forum with scam sites in your signature? you will probably be in a tropical paradise living in a villa with pool and surrounded by beautiful women.

Most of the members left in this forum are the ones who didn't make it and are making a living with signatures and their comments lack of passion and are spamming scam.

This forum is build for mobile devices, i don't know what are you talking about here that this forum is not build for mobiles, you will need a phone that supports WAP browsing like the Ericsson T20s
https://www.gsmarena.com/ericsson_t20s-211.php

Or search for an app that emulates WAP, and then you can access bitcointalk from your mobile device

12  Other / Meta / Re: Reduced forum activity on: September 24, 2020, 02:39:41 PM

I now see why this forum has lack of activity, for example, the other day a user who had a paid signature quote one of my posts, and he made a joke and wrote "LOL"

Why did you get so caught up in users signatures when I nicely explained to you how any user can block them in two steps? Each campaign manager decides which post to pay for and which not - just because someone has something in their signature doesn't mean they shouldn't write "LOL" "YES" "NO" - it's actually quite normal in everyday communication.



Reduced activity, in my opinion, is mainly in that new users can no longer easy create 100 accounts that will become a Full/Senior member in a few months - I am not sorry because we lost that activity.

But signatures are a problem, why do i need to go to settings and block the signatures or the user because their signature is spamming and annoying?
What if i am accessing the forum without login in?

Why is not the opposite?
If i want to see the annoying spamming signature i turn the signature ON.

And this is another reason why most of the activity is moving to chats, like telegram or discord.
There is no signature on those chats.

Also i notice that some treads there is a warning saying that the creator of the post is a scammer, i never seen that on Discord or Telegram.
Take a look at ONION tread, there is a big warning, but there is no warning on their Telegram.

Is the same when you visit your favorite porn site for many years and then they start to add popups and annoying advertising and the videos of your favorite model only last 30 sec because if you want to watch more you need to pay, what users do? they go somewhere else.

But this forum have very old users who been in crypto forever and is good to know about their experiences so we the new generation will not make their mistakes, or that is what i am trying to do.

My favorite Hollywood Romantic movies are

Amelie - I Like how the movie develops and is also funny with great ending.
Le Grand Bleu - Rosanna Arquette is so beautiful in this film, and also i like the drama and the Greek guy remind me of myself because we have similar personality.
City of Angels - Because you cannot have it all in life.

This forum is mobile intolerant unfortunately. If it supported mobile viewers, it would not allow those stupid great useless images, and the pratts who insist on making nested quotes to make a one line reply.

4Chan was launched in 2003 and their layout never has changed, the sub board /biz is popular with crypto users.

I now see why this forum has lack of activity, for example, the other day a user who had a paid signature quote one of my posts, and he made a joke and wrote "LOL"
I did not understand the joke, i actually never encounter a joke like that, if that was the joke, the reason for the joke was that he went trough all my post history and found some questionable truth about me, just imagine the time spent doing that, i notice that the user comment was emotionless behaving like an human spambot, i also notice that the user had a signature promoting some site, and then i got it and understood that some of those users who had signatures are getting paid to spam Bitcointalk with their comments lacking human emotions.

Instead 4Chan there is no signatures, and nobody is directly promoting scams, everybody is free to do whatever and is more alive than never, never upgrade since 2003, and i never been stalked when i post there.

Thanks for this precious info! It's very precious for big fans of Twilight Zone, such as I am!

Hi, you are welcome!

You can start watching the 2019 and then go to the 80's and if you want to continue to the 50's

I believe that if you watch them in this order (if you never watched these series), you might tend to not enjoy watching the old series after the newer ones, as the old ones have fewer visual and audio effects, the image is less sharper and so on. My advice for someone which wants to watch all the series would be to start with the old ones and watch the new ones only after.


I recommended this order, start from new to old because i am a bit young, and sometimes watching old movies or series is not interesting for some, but for me watching old movies it is, specially those from the 50's, and specially those filmed in Europe like in France or Itally, i love old cars and i love to watch how people dress then.
So new watchers can start from new to old, but in reality the order is irrelevant, old to new will also be ok.

i remember watching this when i was a kid and since i been addict too

Never give up

This is the best advice in this tread,
we learn from failure, you need to fail to succeed.

In the other hand is the attitude, and cannot be confused with failure, some people who fail decide to give it up all and never try again, their choose what is easy and don't need an effort, most of them end up living with mammy and pap, alcoholic, divorce or with no wife or kids, unemployed or with a shit job, smoking and eating crap food.

You are the only one that can make this decision, we are all born with opportunities to choose from.

Who are you?

The guy who stand up and keep fighting after failing?

or

The guy who go live with mammy and pap and became an alcoholic with no wife because is too tired to succeed?

I consider myself lucky, i was born in a medium size family, i had a father, mother and two other brothers, i was the only of my brothers to go to university and i just graduated, my mother died last year and my father moved to another city, i was the only brother who stayed with my father, when we arrived to the new city i made bad friends that introduce me to bad things like alcohol and drugs. I fast realize that if i continue trough that path in twenty years i will end up like some looser a shit job and a sexual worker as a girlfriend, right now i am focusing in my career and building it up, i want to make my father and mother proud of me, i want to show my brothers that i will take the name of the family and make it something to be proud of.
Yes, i am happy of what i become today because i choose to be a good person and not a looser.

This is not a movie, but is really good.

The Twilight Zone.

There are three of them,  50's  80's   and   2019

You can start watching the 2019 and then go to the 80's and if you want to continue to the 50's

Episodes last about 50 minutes each.

Do all you can, and have a few kids and die.

Born -> Reproduce -> Experience -> Die

Could you recommend new DEFI project? I will be glad to know if you can share. For now, the Bitcointalk forum is congested with bounties altcoins section and more of it are just scam so hard to find good project nowadays it seems like people are creating projects for self interest. Anyway, the good news is that there are still project worth to join for specially project that pays BTC.

I use SUSHISWAP.

I have not lost money because i bought when the price was 1.1$ and i staked a lot of sushi, so basically i doubled my money, but the price of sushi is down at the moment and i don't think it will go up for some time, but i a holding hoping for the price to be 10$ and while that happen, i am earning sushi.
