This thread was opened 5 years ago yesterday. I am surprised that both sides are still going at it with each other after all this time.
I think it’s best for everyone involved to just drop it.

Can my name please be removed from the OP? I have not been able to help with stuck transactions for years and still receive messages asking for help

Congratulations on ten years on the forum. Things sure have changed a lot over the past decade.
I haven’t been active much as of lately, but I do like to stop by from time to time and read various posts. My ten year anniversary will be in about a year.
I am sure you have been able to learn a lot over your time here. I know I have.
Good times.

Interesting that they have linked all this to the forum user amaclin. It looks like he was using his own custom software when he was implementing his scans and made some bad choices when signing transactions. It makes sense though. He often needed to monitor the blockchain and take specific action based on particular activity as part of his scams. |

Both accounts still exist, and neither will be deleted. The names associated with both accounts have changed. Most likely, the UID is the primary key in the forum database in the members table. However, BPIP appears to log changes based on the account name. There isn't any rule against changing a p key, but it is best if they are immutable. I am not sure if it is possible to track changes to trust lists based on the UID. In any case, BPIP appears to have failed to detect the name change and included entries on its log that did not actually happen. |

I sent you 50 merit, so you can give out 25 sMerit to deserving forum members, either via your original initiative or otherwise.

Nancy should call Vinnie's bluff and just go. There's no way China would take any military action against the US, they're not suicidal.
China may not attack Pelosi (they likely have too much dirt on her for them to want her dead). But they may use the trip as a pretext for an invasion. They are already conducting live fire drills around the island that could escalate to a blockade |

What type of collateral do you have to offer?
a vehicle That's not collateral for a loan you're taking through a forum. If you have enough Bitcoin that you can use as collateral I will give you the loan. unfortunately i dont... what other digital goods/services would you take as collateral ? I'm only taking crypto as collateral, you can visit my thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5403092.0Because your account is brand new I can't give a no collateral loan and I'm sure nobody else will be able to fulfill your request, unless crypto collateral is offered, i was able to get $100 btc for collateral would that be ok for you ? What exactly makes you think that $100 is sufficient collateral for a $800 loan? Especially considering that it will not be possible for basically all lenders to verify your identity. |

I don't think most miners will be willing to accept zero fee transactions, even if they were aware of them. Unless they were receiving a fee via some channel outside of the transaction. "...increases in the warmer bands suggest that coins that were previously held are now on the move and indicate a higher velocity of the monetary base.
According to traditional economic theory, higher velocity, ceteris paribus, leads to higher prices of a monetary base. We can also consider situations where longer-term holders moving “cold” coins to sell them should correlate with lower prices. Conversely, there should be a positive relationship between changes in older age bands and price: an increase in older bands suggest that individuals are holding more Bitcoin and therefore should correlate to higher prices."
Monitoring for moved coins is more difficult than looking at the age of particular inputs without additional context. Exchanges for example, will keep most of their customer deposits in cold storage, and this cold storage may not move for a long time, even if the sum total of withdrawals from the exchange is very large, if the exchange receives more deposits than withdrawal requests. Some people may also have sent their bitcoin to cold storage years ago, and with the advent of new technology, they may decide to create new private keys via various means that were not previously available (hardware wallets, for example). |

I wanted to follow up about this. With the implementation of the IQ system, most applications do not appear to have sufficient IQ to even post. To my knowledge, I have the highest IQ score of the applicants. |

It appears you get points for each correct answer, however the affect of each correct answer appears to decay.
Now that my IQ is proven to be sufficiently high, I can officially post.

We should actually implement this.
I think something like this could be a good optional learning tool for learning a bit more about Bitcoin. I know the intention isn't at all serious, obviously. However, I know that theymos' was interested in doing some sort of Bitcoin course, and tying it into the forum. Although, doing something like this which caters to Bitcoin questions, and having a way for users to compete or compare scores, could promote some users to gain some knowledge, even if they were googling the answers, they'd likely learn something. We could basically offer some learning to users, when they would be posting anyway, and providing a leaderboard of some kind would likely motivate certain users. Obviously, making it optional, and doesn't impact the forum in any real way. Think it could be fun, without other too many downsides. It appears that your score is determined by the number of questions you get right when you post and/or edit your post. I guessed my answer and my score went up, so I have no idea if the algorithm actually requires a correct answer, or if it scores an answer as correct randomly. |

Fun. We should actually implement this.

Wait, are you saying we shouldn't use that avatar if we are applying? We should definitely not include invalid URLs in our personal text.  Fixed. Thanks. I am not sure how that happened. |

The "unofficial rules" show this: 4. No referral code (ref link) spam. [1] The keyword there is spam. Many signature campaigns show their signature in the OP, including reflink. I reported (quite a while ago) a topic in Games and rounds with reflink, but it didn't get deleted. A good way of looking at if a post is ref link spam is if the post would have been made if the ref link was not in the post. For example, in a signature campaign OP, there are sometimes ref links in the signatures so performance of the campaign can be tracked. In these cases, the post would have been made if the ref link was not present. In other cases, someone might create a thread talking about a site, or responding to a post with a ref link to the site in question. In these cases, it is probably fair to say the person would not have made the post if they were not posting a ref link. |

I consider that on these sites should be a warning of big large words, which indicates whether IP addresses are collected or not
It is not possible to know with certainty if any of these sites are collecting personal information. You should assume that the operators are collecting information on their users. |

Since the Merit System was set in motion(*), 182 Legendary members (48 from scratch) have ranked-up needing Merits in the process, and 173 Heroes (71 from scratch). Not that many considering (besides all those pre-Merit System ranked members also existing).
There could be room for additional ranks, although I wouldn’t say that there is any seemingly good reason for it beyond elevating the ego of those that would meet the requirement, at most. Currently:
There is an argument for adding additional ranks below Legendary and not grandfathering people into the resulting higher ranks. 1000 merit isn’t easy to achieve and not many will get there. 400-500 is much easier and more will earn this much merit. There could be some criteria to adjust the initial airdropped merit downwards and some working towards getting legendary status could need to get less merit, while those with a lot of merit could have a higher rank. |
