Oh my goodness. Rest in Peace, Bruno.

This is genuinely heartbreaking, we knew this was coming, but we didn't expect it to be this soon. My deepest condolences for his family.

I still can't believe we just lost the greatest scam fighter in bitcointalk history, and that we would never be able to see him again.

The same thing happened with Hal, one of the greatest minds of our century, and now Bruno. I am...out of words.

I know this won't help change anything, but can Bruno's accounts be changed to VIP status and can admins protect it so no one tries to hack it and use it for awful purposes.

Formal plead, please @admins.

At first when I read this I thought of it ass a not so great idea. I would turn it down.

But come to think of it, maybe the voting could work, if the voting is unanimous(as in all the DT1 members agree that the rating is bad), or if majority of them disagree. Also, the voting could be limited, as in you can vote only thrice a month, so people would have to be wise on who to vote for.

And if there's colluding of any sort, the admins can obviously undo this.

Okay wow. I really liked how you have done the list, the layout, and everything behind it. I got to hand it to you, definitely.

Couple of things you can possibly embed in your site: Notify whether the exchange requires KYC or not, the minimum fees for the exchange, and if you can, then even list the critical reviews for each exchange. Or even a link would do.

Well, other countries have done it in the past^[1], the US has been doing it for awfully long time, and given the state of the world right now, I don't necessarily see this as a bad thing, people need physical cash in their hands, because not everyone can work from home. And if printing more money is the way, they should go ahead and do it.

An inflated economy is better than a non-existent/economy with a fuckton of unhealthy people.

Does this count??


If not, then technically, according to my inbox my last deleted message by a moderator was more than a year and a half ago:

Although, I am pretty sure I have had my posts deleted, but I just didn't get a message notification about it.

Maybe a few users should have received more/less than what they got. Maybe there could have been an algorithm to determine the amount of merits a person deserved, based on time spent, posts made, et al. But right now it doesn't matter, cause there is no going back. Even if there is, its not worth it.

I do feel like, majority of them deserved it, a lot of people spent a lot of time getting those activity points, and waited years to get that activity, not getting that airdropped merit might have caused more members to leave, it could have become too demoralizing to be fair. I know, there are lot of shitturds out there that used their merit in not so right way, but we have to just live with it and let it go, as we don't love in an ideal universe.

I tried to run bbcode tests on third party sites and the forum editor for your table code, and added a fake row to see if I could get around it somehow, but in vain. So unless you get word from the admin staff, I suppose yeah, you can only split the table for now.

I tried in these sites btw:

https://infinite-story.com/tools/bbcode.php

I mean, a lot of people are going pro-bitcoin instead of anti-bitcoin, and its showing off well. Take Jack Dorsey for example, hes becoming quite the crypto enthusaist.(leaving examples below, check his twitter).

People are scared right now, and they are losing their trust in the stock market. The general public saw what happened to Dow Jones, and everything else, so now they are more into bitcoin than ever, because backup strategies. There is a fair chance bitcoin skyrockets again if things keep going this way.

Agreed, most of Binance's users only know how to copy paste an address, and how to send coins back and forth. Mining is so NOT that. And beating the competition would be tough, but Binance's reputation is what is handy to them, enough to give them a noticeable headstart in the game.

I am eager to see how this all turns out, I really don't want binance to fail, it will manage to disrupt the whole industry(there's no other exchange as good as binance right now), but I also don't want binance to have a zillion acquisitions and fuck it up with all of Binance crap(over-polluting the industry), and eventually establishing monopoly.

I really hope binance isn't trying to lie/deceive people again. I might have brought the VISA bullshit at first, but never-mind me.

I really hope Binance isn't going for a monopoly move here, it will kill the whole industry if they do so. Maybe not at first, but sooner or later things will escalate and will go from bad to worse. Binance mining pool sounds cool on paper, but in reality, it will be a mess. Binance is just trying to make acquisitions in a desperate attempt to come over the top,and once this whole acquisition war is over, they will be left with shitty companies, and no money in their pockets. 

Even if Trump has called for this 2 Trillion, its the expenditure cost to be used up until 2025, and right now nothing is going to start, cause there are more things required than just infrastructure. I am taking about basic essential needs, if every country goes for lockdowns on a longer period, we'll soon be out of food, and other resources at hand.

And besides, no one even knows when this whole infrastructure thing will even start, so I wouldn't keep my hopes up only based on this.
While, its a given that China is known for producing shit tier products, its still cheap, and that same reason is why every single country depends on them. If cost wasn't a factor, China would be long gone, same reason why most people still eat non-organic food.

Its going to take a lot, and expenses of trillions of dollars if any other country wants to emerge on top against Chinese markets. And right now, every country is suffering, while China is picking up bones and leftovers, and by the time this is over, and other countries reach a position to recover, China will be on top whether we like it or not.

Very unlikely to happen. Right now, the only concern that every single country has is to get rid of Covid-19 once and for all. And I don't see that happening, there are over a million cases as we speak, and the numbers don't seem to be going down. China, who thought that they stabilized the rise of Covid-19 cases, had 3000 new cases yesterday. And this won't end until there is a goddamn cure.
 
What you're suggesting is very unwise to do in midst of a pandemic. Sure, instead of relying on China, we get to start relying on ourselves, but at what cost? Any country tries to bring this proposal to the public, its gonna cause a mayhem. Maybe things could change after the pandemic is over, but until then bringing new people in to launch factories, dig up raw material is only going to make the Covid-19 pandemic worse.

As for the cost, trillions of dollars are being spent on this pandemic, its going to be a bloodbath coming out of this, every single country will have to basically do a fresh start, there is going to alot of layoffs, companies are going to vanish overnight, things are going to be more horrible, we just can't see it yet. 

I'd agree to this if Ibminer actually defamed you. He didn't do any such thing, and you know it. Let's see what defamation means, I have bold-ed it out for you.


Do you think there is a crime, or a tort going on here? Do you think ibiminer unjustly damaged your reputation? From what I can tell, no one but you are damaging your own reputation. You're giving very CH vibes, and posting big paragraphs when you can just say yes or no.

You can go around arguing about underage e-whore but you know its not going to matter, cause everyone is titled to their own opinion. Just like the whole cause of this whole thread, started because you didn't like someone's opinion towards you. Everyone can go around twisting words, but then what is the purpose of all this? Speak with ibminer and figure it out, the more people you involve in this, more people will give you their opinion, which would take you back to square 1.

I agree with this. Nullius had a whole different reputation and status after he left, everyone thought he was different, witty, and a technical genius. And we wanted for nullius to return back, because more than half of the actual members of the forum practically loved him because he gave the vibes of old 2011 posters, which this forum had been lacking for ages. And now after his return, everything feels different.

Nullius, things wont be the same for you if go around demanding things, publishing pms, and going against DT members isn't going to help. You're better than that, and you know it. Back then, you handled the Alia situation much better, but now its getting quite the opposite. I get it, you're smart, but things won't be the same,  if the things you do keep being the same, it won't go so well. End your disputes privately, its better for everyone.

Okay first off, I never thought of Binance acquiring coinmarketcap, and I started to wonder why when I saw this thread, but reading the article, CoinMarketCap has twice the amount of visitors(207 million in the last 6 months) as opposed to Binance having 113 million visitors.

Overall,good move, but the article also says Binance has been on an acquisition spree, and have apparently hired at least 9 firms in the last year, and that's lot considering how apolcalyptic the market has been. And now that the whole coronavirus pandemic has caused what no one expected to, I don't know if spending 400 Million on acquiring CoinMarketCap is the way to go. Not that the pandemic has anything to do with this, but I assure you the aftermath of this is going to rain shit and piss all over the global market, and that 400 Million would be more worth to invest somewhere.

CZ is smart, so if he is actually persistant on this deal, he has better plans in his mind. He's either going to rip Cmc into pieces, or he's going to fully Binance-ize whole of CMC.

I do agree, the reporting system is a mess, put decently. And there's clear sense of frustration from some users,things have been the same around here for years now. Things need to change. Or as we fear, soon people will start caring more about their IRL stuff than the forum. The motivating factor is lacking way too much, and something needs to be done about it as well.,

I have come across this, but I also know not a lot of reporters use this. Probably because it is not official. I like the script, but we can only go so long by using scripts.

I am just too damn desperate to see the new forum, but there's zero hope out there for it to be out.

Oh my goodness. My deepest condolences, I am so so sorry to hear that Bruno. We are gonna miss you at this forum,Bruno.

Thank you for all the scams you have fought.
Thank you for spending endless nights trying to help the members of the community not get scammed by fucking assholes out there who want to steal other people's hard earned money.
Thank you for enlightening all of us with your weirdly yet amazing humor.
Thank you for being honest with the community.
Thank you for everything you have done for this community.
Thank you for being you.
Thank you, Bruno, Thank you. From us to you.

I really hope you find a miraculous recovery for your Tumor.

I don't know if this is a good thing or not, while binance releasing the card is somewhat of a welcome change, I do fear the KYC verification that is to potentially soon follow.

Although this seems promising, possibly a new turn towards all bitcoin based debit cards, I am especially interested to see how this is going to turn out.

Apparently, there are no fees:


Somehow Binance managed to partner up with VISA??

Also, what are you guys' thoughts on this, will you use it if its made available worldwide?

Weird. I just tried to see if I have the same error, I didn't. The third pop down menu works, regardless of what I select, and then subsequently the 4th pop down menu.

Screenshot:



If it doesn't work,try contacting them on reddit, like how Bl4nkcode mentioned.

Have you tried contacting their twitter??

Okay no, it would work in an ideal reality, unfortunately this ain't it. Along with what o_e_l_e_o and iasenko highlighted, I think what might possibly help is some sort of an indicator perhaps? Say if someone has got 5 posts deleted by the mods in the past 1 week, so his account has a small caution tag which advises the user to post carefully. This indicator could be either shown to all logged in users, or say frequent reporters(like those who have 300+ reported posts).

Also, the reporting procedure should provide some sort of possible options in the reporting menu. Let's say a post has a url tag in it, then the report page automatically shows a button which displays as "Link contains malware" and the user can click it and the report will be sent. Or if the post contains a pic, the report menu will have an auto-generated button for reporting NSFW images, or if a post contains more than 2 paragraphs, a button for plagiarism perhaps. All these could be like extra suggestions to help out the user, the main reporting text area will still be the same. I know this has been suggested before, but it doesn't hurt to suggest again.
