Have you not heard about spooky action?   Future technologies could make colonizing the galaxy easy. 

The universe is old - older than you can imagine.   Even at relativistic velocities, a race could have colonized the galaxy already.

That's the order of it, too.   Look how many people are having children before realizing the world can't support them? 

Geez, that's about what I paid for my high end Prius.  Also worth every penny, but yes, I want a Tesla car.  I'm also excited about their insurance program.

This is the jist of the PMs:

- OG PMed I was a coward for not standing up to more scammers
- I PMed I had a lot more to lose than him.
- I sent a PM showing how someone used my linkedin information to attack me.
- OG replied "Martin Lawrence the actor?  Who cares!"
- A year later, OG posts part of the PM and lies "I'm still confused as to why he sent this to me" and calls for the context he omitted.

Purposely, maliciously using children to deflect against my accusation.  For some reason still supported by respected users like theymos, gmaxwell, qwk and philipma1957.  :/

Shame on you.   No collateral, no loan.

I like your idea of the great filter, but I think it lies ahead of us.  Intelligent life is common in stable systems, but we failed to recognize our filter in time and our only proof of existence will be a few decades of radio waves decaying before they reach anyone who can understand them.  Maybe no civilization gets past this filter, and we could not hear the death cries of our closest neighbors because we were only neanderthals? :/

This video is now famous as a complete failure of AI during driving.

But the AI did not make a mistake - the forward cameras could not see the obstacle due to glare.  With all the advanced programming, they were blinded by the light, while a human could have moved their head around to see better.

We cannot have the potential for these kinds of mistakes.  Tesla needs to implement their 5G mesh network so other cars driving by would detect the obstacle and report it.   That is what mesh networks are good for.

1. When and why did you become interested in cryptocurrencies?
Early 2011 I was waiting for a downtown Guardian Angels patrol, and I glanced at an article in PC MAGAZINE.  It said run this and in a few mins you'll have 50 coins.  I ran it, got 50 coins almost instantly, thought "cool", waited a few mins for the next 50 and had to leave.   Forgot about it until I had a contract in Fort McMurray for a few years and I earned most of my coins on a R9 290X with free power and AC. 

2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?
Never! 

3. How did you get on the forum?
As the technical lead on a small 800 man project left me a lot of free time, I designed guildminers, one of the first mining sites to break down earnings to the atomic level, and share them equally with all members.  I joined this forum using my real name, with stars in my eyes, but I soon realized I could not rely on others to be successful (meaning the miners moving back and forth for the best profit), and my partner and I spilt ways.

4. You created BPIP and the first rankings on this forum.  What made you do that?
I ran a large pay-to website in the late 90s.  Having direct access to the database let me know who the players were.  I knew that information on this forum would help many so  I decided to parse and build it myself.   I was just a beginner in C#, coming from a no-class VB world and no real experience with IDEs or their many addons!  On top of that I had to relearn hardware and networking.  It was a wonder it all worked at first until I started adding too many things too fast. 

5. What do you think of the current Merit system and signature campaigns?  Do they harm the forum?
Advertising has a place, but a user should not force ads on others.  Signatures should be better controlled, given as a reward or taken away for infractions.  If a person can earn money by posting, and they are hungry, they will spam if they have nothing to contribute.  Merit is awesome, although earning a single merit is too easy.  Personally, I could not handle 100 new sMerit a day lol - Theymos had more faith in me than I did.

6. The most useful forum topic? Most helpful users?
The topic would have to be my loan collateral post.  I think it was the most referenced post ever, but LoyceV would have to confirm.  bpip.org has all the records now.   Besides the obvious bpip angels, loycev, owlcatz, jackg, Jet Cash, lauda, TP for sure. Unfortunately I've forgotten dozens of others, but I have all the messages to review! I spent too many years fighting scams and not paying attention to the newbies reaching puberty. 

7. 3 things you would implement on the forum?
ONE - Activity should decay on any new forum rank - allow people to specialize in certain areas.  Trust can be relevant to their area, reducing abuse.
TWO - Get rid of email addresses.  Signing an address might be too complex for most crypto pigeons - maybe use a third party service for private authentication.
THREE - Make the DT lottery provably fair; remove the potential centralization of DT1 trust.

8. Do you trade on exchanges or invest in projects?
I prefer to make my way on guaranteed income.  You've seen I break down transactions and make them public.   BPIP proved there was value in that information - I now invest in advanced aggregation of crypto data.  Reliable trends and "big data" of the proper attributes will train private AI advisors on buys or sells in a market limited only by train time and the amount of input we have.  Once we identify these true leaders, I'll start to invest with them.   75% of my project time is going towards clubcrypto, 20% building free tools the club will need for automation and 5% spent on research.

9. Tell a story about your big profit or big loss?
My biggest loss was buying a used video card from my guildminers partner, and bitcoin was around $10 at the time.  35 bitcoins gone and the fan died a week later.

10. What do you think about the DEFI ecosystem?
I'm taking it one step further, introducing "cryptobutes" and "NFCT"s.  The current DEFI (gaming) system with random/made-up attributes may be an online fad, but blockchain backed attributes are better futureproofed.  (Until you remove all human control, people will scam.)

11. Is your anonymity a vital necessity or precaution?
In my career I never ran from bullies.  I've had so many death threats and in the end, they are all cowards.  Because I only stop people from scamming, and don't scam others, no one has ever followed through on murdering me for pointing a finger at them.   The internet has allowed offers of anonymous murder by proxy, but anyone who ever agrees to such crimes are usually undercover law enforcement.   I am situationally aware, but I don't worry if people know my name or where I live.   I keep a cough in my throat at all times that sounds just like Covid, and I can pull a mask down with my good hand in milliseconds.

12. The last cryptocurrency book you read?
HA!  The last book I read completely was Go-Boy! by Roger Caron, around 1981.  I think that book scared me straight into the honest man I became.   Bought my first computer in 1983, and besides programming books, why waste time reading when I have can have the pre-packaged understanding delivered as I drive or fly?  If I want to use my imagination I'll lucid dream.

13. Advise 3 cryptocurrencies/tokens for investment in the next 1-2 years?
ONE:  NFCTs - Non-fungible crypto tokens increase digital scarcity since cryptobutes cannot be created at will.   Digital ownership and interoperability across the regular NFT network will encourage unique collectibles and gaming.
TWO:  Whatever China creates  :/
THREE:  Chaincode technology - the blockchain comparison to chaincode is similar to http compared to https. The big dollars will be spent on professional infrastructure that can instantly scale and adapt. 

14. How much will Bitcoin cost at the end of 2020?
Give me a couple months, and I'll have clubcrypto.live give you a machine learned guess.    Crypto will surge if there is anarchy, but bitcoin will be hedl and a new blockchain, focused on small internal pods, will be used until order and utilities are more reliable.  Your ownership in these blockchains might depend on how many bitcoin you had or it may depend on how much you can physically do.  Of course, it all depends on how large this second wave is.

The sociopath is drunk and spamming my thread.   He keeps posting the same question with no accusation and no evidence.

I have deleted the same thing twenty + times now.

I think he needs a cool off period.

Edit:  I had to lock the thread after a couple dozen spams.  That is how Mr. OG defends his name.  :/

DT is regarded very highly on this forum.  Everyone wants to be DT.   Only the most trusted get on DT and are never taken off, like me. 

bump! 

OK!  Negative trust left until you provide collateral for $125

10/9 for now, and I didn't vote either.

But I have to assume the people who did not vote do not care enough to.  That would mean only 10 people want the tool.  For those kinds of numbers, I'll probably just release it "as is" and let someone else finish it if there is demand.

No one has been able to provide evidence of any wrong doing.  Kinds of makes this entire jealousy thread another joke for the jailbird.  :/

I specifically made it moderated to avoid having that battle of wits with Mr. OG.

No one yet has been able to point out anything I've done wrong.  I'm not hiding information -it's available on loyce.club.   I just want a place where my misdeeds can be summarized. 

What's the address of your forum?   You have zero power here.  :/

Not really.  I'm thinking why would someone build this just to save you fees if they make nothing?

If you have proof of that, any bank will give you the money to build the coin.

Negative trust left until you provide collateral for the $250.
