Have you ever thought that uploading pictures on this forum is very inconvenient. You must first upload images on the site like imgur, or etc. It's the only thing that makes people in this forum rarely upload pictures. Why is not this forum uploaded an image upload system directly connected to your computer file? Would not it be easier.
Probably because: - The servers would be heavily loaded if all the images are directly uploaded to bitcointalk.
- Imgur or any other website would reduce the load of images on bitcointalk because the file would be saved on their server and not on bitcointalk's.
- And I believe you cannot directly upload images just like that,as the forum uses BB code,so even if you have to upload a image directly from your computer to bitcointalk,you would have to use your own computer's source path then it gets stored on bitcointalk's server,its sort of a messed up thing to explain.
The current "Image system" is fine. Change is not required,atleast not now. But maybe something more "simple" in the new forum? |

Question: What is a distributed ledger?
The merits for the previous question will be awarded within a couple of hours. Sorry for the delay. And don't plagiarize. Learn something new. Understand. Don't do this just for the sake of merit. Do it because you love bitcoin and you want to learn new stuff about. That's what is the main purpose of this thread.

HitBTC has always been somewhat of a shitcoin exchange. I have been seeing complaints pop up about them since the very beginning, and it has only become worse. Every exchange finding it necessary to list shitcoins, allow forks to be traded, etc, are all slowly poisoning this ecosystem. Blatant scam forks shouldn't be granted a plarform they can be sold on, which only gives them more incentive to jump into their next fork project. This market needs quality instead of quantity, but these exchanges don't seem to understand that, or just don't care about it due to their greed. I personally hint at the latter option looking at their way of doing business. Pathetic.
These exchanges act out on what the majority of their users want, that is shitcoin and shitforks. If the exchanges aren't loyal to their own users,they'll find another exchange. HitBTC has reached to the top by listening all these ICO shitcoins and their majority of the users love this exchange for that. Yeah,at one point all of us went after poloniex and bittrex,as they were both amazing at a point of time,but not anymore. While bittrex and poloniex screwed their reputation over,HitBTC meanwhile concentrated on making their exchange a major one,and they succeeded pretty well. They have managed to keep their rep way above the line even after listing these shitcoins and granting them the fork shitcoins. Only a few users hate this exchange while the majority love them. They are sort of doing the right thing as an exchange by listing every single coin/fork,so that users can exchange it,even if the coin is a scam/ponzi,the users might be able to get something out of it. |

As they expalined in email, Bitcoin funds have been exposed and seem to have been siphoned out to an address that is outside our control.
An FIR has been lodged with the Cyber Cell, Delhi (copy of the complaint enclosed), and we have expert investigators already on the case.
current issue points towards losses caused during an exercise to extract BTG to distribute to our customers
The hack would most likely be from outside India and even if the "expert investigators" find something, it'd be almost of no use. Those bitcoins can easily fooled around with, if they use a mixing service or something. If they get any IP address also, it won't help as the hacker would have used tor. Now I would be interested to see if coinsecure would give back the funds to its users from their pockets, and worst part is they can't have any link with the banks because RBI has said this. |

I have read hundreds of threads about how to earn merit. I've only merited a few of them, this being one of them. Just because someone opens a thread about merit doesn't mean that they'll earn any, thus your argument is invalid.
To be honest, you don't need guides and whatnot to earn merit. Just post what you normally do with some thought and some references, that should make things right. And post for learning/helping not for earning whatever incentive you get either in merit or cash or any other incentive. |

Ouch, that sounds like a real nightmare.
At that point I would just refund the item back to seller unless its not sold on your country and has to be imported.
That particular point is not the worst. Trust me. Even after me paying these taxes I find that product comparatively cheaper than what I get in my country. For example, if I buy something from outside my country for 1000$,pay 200$ for tax, it'd amount to 1200$,and for the same product in my country I'd have to pay like 2000$ without adding VAT. I know some sellers that can under-value an item, basically he will write lower price on invoice than the actual price.
With this sometimes you don't have to pay enormous tax at all.
Exactly, but this case happens very rarely so good luck with anybody waiving their taxes off. |

Do you have to pay that percent after item's value will be higher than 500$ (for example) or you have to pay 30-40% in any way even if item worths 20$?
If I buy anything from Amazon, the tax varies and it is very much weird to figure out how they calculate the tax. I'll show some images from Amazon so that you can see for yourself. 
However if I directly import goods not from Amazon, then I believe the percentage is atleast 20%,after all those rich bastards won't let me live until they took their share of money from me in the name of import duty. |

What? 30-40% fees on technic? Where do you live?
Yeah for some products, I pay more on import/custom fee than the original product. Sometimes I pay lesser than the 40% and sometimes I pay like 40-60% also. This varies every single time but yeah it is what it is. That's a lot high, it makes almost impossible to have wish of buying some techs from another country.
There are only 18% fee on imported items where I live. OP you could to try ordering on tax free zone which is near to you (it may cause problems for you and receiver, depends on situation). I guess now you can't do anything to change fees if not worsen. Btw go in customs office, you lose nothing.
If you're buying from Amazon, you can apparently ask them to waive the fee after you place your order, they don't do it always but I did hear someone saying that they waived the fees for the person who had ordered. So guess will have to try that out. But still 18% fee is no joke. |

Ordered about $40,000 worth of mining equipment from Halong and DHL is stating I have to pay more than $1,200 in import duty taxes and fees! Is this right? I had no idea it would be this much. I live near the customs office, should I try to clear it myself? I’m in the USA.
The import duty is usually like 30-40% on the net value of the items when you buy something related to technology. If you buy anything other than that,it varies from 12-15% max,for most countries I guess. For technology,there is first import duty(varies from 5-15%),then fee charged by the customs officer(it depends on how much he wants to charge) and finally add up the whole sum,charge the VAT for that amount,and you have to pay that whole amount. All in all,it rounds up to 30-40%. |

aTriz is the one who usually posts the ANN threads, which doesn't necessarily imply that he manages the whole campaign or any aspect of it. This makes things a little clearer(not entirely) for the purpose of ALU. What makes sense in your view is not of importance to me. It works (this being an exception) the way that it currently is set up, and that won't change. Nobody is on the line because of this as they aren't remotely responsible for his actions. Seems like aTriz was all on his own representing bitblisscoin as I don't see the ALU banner there,I might be wrong though. There is no business and yes it is babysitting. You're a part of a team,where one has to help the other during the times of crisis. Call it as you may but its actually helping out your partner when he is known to be naive in the past. Again, did I hire you as a business consultant? No. I didn't mean any offense,I am just merely curious on how things went the other way around. If you find me being nitpicky or something ,fine. But that doesn't change the truth. When we start putting disclaimers in threads (and I do hope that others follow), the same is going to happen. Are you going to blame the managers when users do not read it?  Of course not,people are stupid. Its not the manager that is to be blamed here. But that's not my point. aTriz lied about the details of the ICO,people trusted him(good lord,people trust that green shit too much) and turned to be even more naive than aTriz. Read the full statement before commenting next time. My bad,but I haven't heard from aTriz after he said that he was "forced" to mispresent the information in the name of a marketing strategy.
Again,I am not trying to be offensive or trying to attack someone here,but this was like I said an unexpected course of event from aTriz. I still want to believe this whole dilemma to be false but it isn't. So don't mistaken my curiousness with something else. |

Nope, I am not sure about really anything to do with the specs, and since I recently waterlogged my laptop it has thrown me for an entirely new loop. Plus I've been considering building a second rig, so it's all up in the air at this point.
Oh you want a laptop,with some nice GPU? I have a good one that would help you,maybe: ASUS GL503VM-DB74 ROG Strix Hero Edition 15.6” 120Hz Gaming Laptop, GTX 1060 6GB, Intel Core i7-7700HQ 2.8 GHz, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB PCIe SSD + 1TB SSHD, RGB Keyboard : The best one you can get for exact $1500.
If you're not a big fan of the screen quality,here's another one,much cheaper and almost the same specs: Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop, 15.6" Full HD, Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, GeForce GTX 1060-6GB, VR Ready, Red Backlit KB, Metal Chassis, G3-571-77QK
There are more,obviously. Also,if you can spend more: Here's a GTX 1080 laptop: ASUS ROG STRIX Gaming Laptop, 17" Full HD 120Hz Panel, Intel Core i7 2.8GHz GTX 1080 8GB, 16GB DDR4 256GB PCIe SSD 1TB HDD, Black Aluminum Hairline (GL702VI-WB74)
I think that might be where I am falling at this point. I might be more interested in an ultrabook that's a 2-in-1 or whatever they are called. I'm not positive that I want a GPU, but it would seem helpful to at least grab myself a couple GB of dedicated video memory, since I plan to play some simple games on it. Cooling is something that is going to be of big concern, because laptops and tablets are notorious for not being able to handle their own hardware when it comes to temperatures. I might be going down that path of Ultrabook that is a tablet. Refurbished is fine by me, but preferably manufacturer refurbished.
Ultrabook,you say? Boy,I got you covered. This one is by ASUS,has a IPS screen and 4 gigs of GTX 1050: CUK ASUS VivoBook Pro Gamer Notebook (Intel Quad Core i7-7700HQ, 32GB RAM, 500GB NVMe SSD + 2TB, NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1050 4GB, 15.6" Full HD IPS 120Hz, Windows 10 Home) - Best Gaming Laptop Computer

As a 'one-in-all' kind of service it works (or worked); the latter part should be intuitive given the setup. There are no ALU funds, and there are no split commissions. If you are working on something, you get paid for your part. Put some thought into it, is it easier for 4 individual managers to advertise their services or for the 4 managers to advertise under 1 name? Well so far I have only seen aTriz handling almost all the campaigns except for one or two being run by you. What I see is just that four managers have come up together as a team and doing their own work individually, but just having the same name. It'd be make much more sense if all the managers split up work equally, share up the profits, do your background check so that you'd never ever put your reputation on the line because of another partner of your own making his own decisions by using your own brand name. I don't think I've ever really commented on any ANN that isn't related to me (i.e. those that are solely managed by him and/or others). The answer to the 2nd question is no. As I've previously said, I'm not here to babysit others.
It's not babysitting if you're doing your own work for your own business and protecting your brand name from going into the mud. I really don't see the point of ALU if no one is willing to supervise the work or even know what the other partners are up to except for the advertising part you earlier mentioned. All the managers are managing their own campaigns under a name. No sharing of work or the revenue earned. The members are (or were..) 'trusted'. Do your due diligence when participating and investing.
Though I agree with this, some users tend to have this mindset that since aTriz(as a part of ALU) had mentioned that there's no risk or anything involved in investing in that particular ICO. Most people don't even know what due diligence is, let alone them figuring out if it's a scam or not. We never put a (existing) label on it; I'm wondering what the appropriate definition should be myself (less important right now given the situation). It does not have capital as a singular entity, and it never did. What do you intend to do after this? Let the things go the way they have been going, will there be any change? Any supervision or something?
Update to this: aTriz has been suspended until further notice by a 2-0 vote. More time is needed, and less distraction before a proper decision can be made.
@ibminer: To the previous stuff, we've started working on a disclaimer. I hope that more manager follow us in that regard (once it is live).
Suspension won't change anything. Remember High school, when kids deliberately did some shit to get suspended or have some fun. People are who they are. They most likely never change. aTriz has known to be naive. Other than suspension I'd be interested in knowing what else you're going to do /change. |

So what do we have here? - aTriz starts up an organization named ALU alongside Lauda and Untold. Now Loyce V, and a couple more mangers are added as co-managers.
- aTriz is contacted by bitblisscoin "team" (or vice-versa?) and he agrees to create their ANN thread and run their campaigns and then he stops the signature campaign after a week or so due to issues with the ICO.
- 2 weeks later of running their bounty campaign of bitblisscoin, aTriz is informed that bitblisscoin "team" has raised nothing and he is forced to lie that bitblisscoin has raised so and so in the name of a marketing strategy. Wow. Not cool dude.
 - aTriz never decides to tell his co-partners let alone the whole community. All for a few bucks?
Here are a few questions that I am intrested in knowing : Is this the only time that aTriz has lied about something? Has this happened before also and users weren't aware about it?
What is the purpose of ALU if the partners don't know what the other partners are up to?
Lauda, do you ever consult or work with aTriz for the campaigns and ANN threads he sets up? Do you give them a recheck or something?
ALU's thread says they are trusted but this is actually a huge question in mind, why should anyone trust any campaign or ICO ya'll manage because you have already lied about the information in the past.
What exactly is ALU if it's not an organization and has no capital? Just a random group of people who just manage campaigns and design web pages and signatures? I personally didn't expect this to ever be true because I did participated in multiple campaigns ran by aTriz because I blindfoldedly trusted him (I know I am stupid but not anymore). I don't mean to be offensive but things are getting out of hand.
Similar questions have been asked but the thread has already been derailed too much to get any info from it. Edit :- aTriz, you don't have to refund any user if you don't manage the scammy icos in the first place. This is the second time this is happening. Also why would any user invest in such icos just like that? It's just basic stupidity. Trust no one, one of the best policies IMO. (i know I'm an hypocrite) |

Are you sure you want a Tablet with a GPU? It becomes more of an ultrabook then. If you don't want with a GPU, here's something you may like : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078KT6PJV/ref=sspa_mw_detail_1?psc=1&smid=A3JS2199GQLB8L&th=1A tablet/laptop with 512 gigs of SSD, an i7 8th Gen processor, 16 gigs of RAM. This thing is amazing except for its terrible Intel HD graphics 620. If you want with a GPU, a ultrabook rather I have something that you may be interested in : https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0799849GX/ref=psdcmw_13896609011_t2_B076N6K19DThis thing is refurbished but has really good hi end specs. You can either get the GPU of GeForce Gtx 940MX or with GeForce gtx MX150. The latter is better and is underrated. This thing can be used a tablet too. About those 1080ti pcs you can get it for 3500-4000 depending upon how exactly you want your other hardware to be.. But it shouldn't be that hard to figure it all out. |

Because there's no use. Just time is getting wasted. The merit will decay if there's any abuse of it. So don't worry too much. Here's theymos's stance on merit abuse or whatever: Merit sales, transfers to aliases, back-and-forth trading, etc. are not much of an issue. All illegitimate merit will decay, and will account for a tiny and very expensive fraction of the total merit economy. It's basically a rounding error; fight it where convenient, but waste no sleep over it.

This might help:
I liked the Lenovo that they showed on your link, the Miix, but the lowest price link won't open up for me. I wouldn't want to pay the $800 for it on Amazon, and the $600 newegg link is out of stock. I appreciate the link; I've done a lot of reading and I'm still unsure about what I want. I've just been reading, researching and bookmarking links for like multiple weeks at this point. Hopefully something comes along that really makes me pull the trigger. I am sorry I am coming back to you after almost a week. Anyhow if you still need any help,I am willing to help you out. I like doing these kind of things,so if you can be more specific on your specs and your budget,I might be able to find you something. I'd in all seriousness suggest you not to go budget wise but by product quality wise and by something which would give you maximum satisfaction. And probably try avoiding the SurfaceBook,they are just looting you for something that's not worth the buck. You can make 2 custom 1080Ti/Titan X custom PCs with the same budget of that of the SurfaceBook2. |
