The blockchain is currently backlogged. The minimum fee to have a transaction included in a block is about 45 sats/WU (180 sats/byte) and your transaction only is paying about 3.262 sats/WU(13.05 sats/byte.) Was this transaction sent from your personal wallet or was it from a service? Unfortunately, the fee is too low to try and use ViaBTC free transaction accelerator.

I've already explained my main motivation, and have quoted theymos to justify it. If you really think that maintaining my income stream from the signature that I am wearing has anything to do with this, you must think I am really hard up. After all, I am not even posting anywhere near the maximum of 55 posts a week for this signature. Furthermore, I am certain that if HHampuz gave me the boot, there are plenty of other signature campaigns that I could easily join. |

Let's just hope for all the users that give out merit(merit sources and the general population alike) that other DT1 and DT2 members don't take your precedent and construe it to mean that perhaps they can go ahead and red trust meriters if they merit other types of posts that the DT member finds unsavory. Personally, I think red trust for merit should only be done for selling/buying merit or using it to rank up an account farm. All other complaints about merit should be brought up either by PM or the open forum, and if theymos feels it's abuse, he may reverse them and if it involves a merit source, give them the boot. However, to each their own, I guess.
"I added to my notes the fact that those users merited such a post. Meriting it is saying basically that we need more posts like this on the forum, and we do not need more posts like this on the forum." Most important thing you should have taken away from theymos' post. You think in his notes he put these users on the good boy/girl side of his list? To each their own I guess. However, it appears that the only action theymos took in this case was making a mental note and to clarify what merit giving should be about. It appears Foxpup is still a merit source and the merits to Vod have not been reversed as of this moment. Therefore, I am going to go by the words that theymos wrote in response to me, months ago. |

I do not think it was right for teeGUMES to tag the merit givers to sound the alarm on Vod's behavior. Although teegumes has removed the red trust, I am not removing my exclusion. Quite frankly, my exclusion has nothing to do with the red trust he had left for Vod.
This is fine I do not fault you for standing up for something you believe to be right. Many times throughout the countless threads here I have stated that had there been another way of achieving this same effect, I would have used it. If as a merit source you believe that one day in the future you think you'll throw some of your merit down on a public doxx to expend your source then our paths will probably cross again. Let's just hope for all the users that give out merit(merit sources and the general population alike) that other DT1 and DT2 members don't take your precedent and construe it to mean that perhaps they can go ahead and red trust meriters if they merit other types of posts that the DT member finds unsavory.

Just checked new added distrusts from DT1 member to teegumes and bill gator and what a surprise
New added distrusts from DT1 for teegumes from :
Lauda
suchmoon
Hhampuz
owlcatz
nutilda
bones261
What a surprise these people who are talking the most about forgiveness trying to end that topic and gaslightning are the ones who kicked other DT members out.
I have already explained why I excluded teeGUMES in another thread. It is a principle that theymos included in a reply to me.
If they complain about amounts, tell them to complain to me. It's best if sources try to exhaust their source allocations, even if it means giving posts higher amounts than is typical. If you have 150 source merit and you only see 3 merit-worthy posts in a month, then I'd rather you over-give each of them 50 merit than let the merit expire. That way there are more people capable of sending merit, and the "merit economy" is less top-down.
If a DT member tags you for something stupid involving merit (ie. probably anything less than selling merit), then they're not going to be a DT member for much longer.
Aside from that, if people complain about whether things deserve merit at all, then that's something to perhaps think about, but if you conclude that they're wrong, then that's that. You don't need to stress about it or defend yourself constantly. It's conceivable that someday you and I will end up disagreeing too much about this stuff and I'll remove your source status, but it's really not a big deal.
I do not think it was right for teeGUMES to tag the merit givers to sound the alarm on Vod's behavior. Although teegumes has removed the red trust, I am not removing my exclusion, at this time. Quite frankly, my exclusion has nothing to do with the red trust he had left for Vod. |

So this is how people are supposed to rank up now? Find the threads where dt members and merit sources are fighting and do some brown nosing... Interesting concept  Actually, it is much easier to head over to the WO thread and post something really bullish about BTC.  They have drama there too, but it has little to do with forum politics. You may even get merit for posting what you are having for dinner.  Memes of bitcoin guy, rocket ships, swimsuit models, green dildos and burning trains can get you bonus merits. |

This topic will be deleted because of rule 6. 6. No linking to phishing or malware, without a warning and a valid reason. Unfortunately, is has now been over 13 hours and the thread still remains. I hope this attempt is so obvious that no one falls for it. Unfortunately, many people have been falling for fake Electrum wallets. we quite frequently get posts by victims who are basically told there is nothing they can do about their lost BTC now, but are given great advise on how to avoid it in the future. |

Over the past couple of days, I have noticed that a couple of threads with phishing/malware links have been posted in the Wallet child board of Development & Technical. Hi!
There is a new Electrum version (3.3.6).
This version solves a lot of problems and security breaches, best is to update your Electrum.
You can update here: (deleted link for safety)
Choose the right version for your OS and update.
Hope this helps The thread is locked, so no one can respond in the thread with a warning. I am sure that I and others have reported this thread to the moderator for deletion. However, the thread is still up after 3 hours without getting deleted. I and others have also added negative trust ratings; however, this isn't likely to do anything since trust scores are not displayed in this child board. I am wondering if we should start displaying trust ratings in this child board, or would that be unfair to posters, since this is really a moderation issue? It would just be nice to give people some kind of extra warning in such circumstances until the thread and user can be purged. I realize HCP started a thread to warn people. However, I think we need as many tools in our arsenal to counter these attacks before nuking action is taken. |

Legendary with Earned Merits - Can wear a Legendary Signature.
Legendary without certain number of Earned Merits - Can only wear a Hero Member Signature.
Just wanted to point out that there is no additional functionality gained by becoming a Legendary. The signatures a Legendary can wear would be the same as the signatures a Hero can wear.. However, a bounty manger can implement their own rules regarding merit to effect any payouts. I believe some bounty managers already have campaigns that require a minimum amount of earned merit just to be qualified to join. |

I think that running a pruned node I not the same as running a full node.
Because when you run a pruned blockchain you are trusting the people responsible for the prune.
And the reason for running a full node is that you don't need to trust anyone.
When you start running a pruned node, your node still has to verify each and every block, from the genesis. The only difference with a node storing the full blockchain is that as you go along, you stop storing on your system the older blocks. You are really not trusting anyone. Perhaps you are confusing this with a SPV node? |

Anyone still has that thread, but without OgNasty's private information? (it's not in the Trashcan so I can't see it myself). I am guessing theymos either deleted it or put it in a trashcan like sub only accessible to admins. I saw it after OgNs information was deleted, but I believe all it said was OgN didn’t pay his taxes. When I saw it the thread was in investigations and I cannot find it on google nor the way back machine. It must have said more, no? Why else create one in the first place. I'm asking because I have a hard time passing judgement (and updating my Trust list because I'm DT1) seeing how almost everyone's acting immaturely. That's my impression at least, without seeing the full picture. It had OgNasty's name and address. It also had a link to a youtube video published by NastyMining showing off the solar panels on his house. (I don't think OgNasty would mind the video, otherwise I'm sure NastyMining would have taken it down long ago.) |

It is interesting to see so many supporters of public doxxing. The merit they left is nothing more than clear instigation. You know it and I know it.
Wait til an investigation takes place and if a conviction for a crime happens, sure go nuts.. I'd even commend Vod for a job well done(with some merit)
My actions against you has nothing to do on whether I support Vod's doxing post or not. As a merit source, I am not going to be hampered on my merit giving with having to take into consideration whether or not someone on DT is going to give me red trust or not. This is not acceptable. 
edit: to add, your bolded part says "for something stupid other than..." please include where you think public doxxing falls into the something stupid category
You forgot to include the important part. (ie. probably anything less than selling merit) |

You shouldn't be red-trusting people for sending merits though. That's fucked up. I agree with this 100%. Teegumes you wanna tag Vod for creating the thread that's on you but tagging users for meriting it is ridiculous. So you both think that a pat on the back in the form of merit for doxxing someone is trustworthy behavior? I understand the people that I have left red tags for are great respectable people and if merit could be removed I would have personally asked them to remove it before it even got to the tagging.. but that isn't an option currently. If someone ends up hurt or worse at that location do you think these people would still want their name at the top of the post that potentially caused it? Here is part of response to me a while ago when I was paranoid about people giving me red trust for merits that I may give. Well, it appears that your source merit either wasn't upped to 250 a month ago like me, or you are just letting it expire. Theymos gave me instructions to try and do my best to distribute all of it. I'm doing the best that I can; yet have already had complaints. I really despise this statistic. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topsendban Now I am on the list that appears to point out merit abuse suspects. I was originally very honored to become a merit source. But now I feel that my reputation is at stake with every single merit that I am obligated to distribute. I know that I only have black trust at the moment. However, I keep checking my trust rating to make sure some DT member doesn't decide to red tag me because they feel that I am being "abusive" or derelict in my duty. If they complain about amounts, tell them to complain to me. It's best if sources try to exhaust their source allocations, even if it means giving posts higher amounts than is typical. If you have 150 source merit and you only see 3 merit-worthy posts in a month, then I'd rather you over-give each of them 50 merit than let the merit expire. That way there are more people capable of sending merit, and the "merit economy" is less top-down. If a DT member tags you for something stupid involving merit (ie. probably anything less than selling merit), then they're not going to be a DT member for much longer.Aside from that, if people complain about whether things deserve merit at all, then that's something to perhaps think about, but if you conclude that they're wrong, then that's that. You don't need to stress about it or defend yourself constantly. It's conceivable that someday you and I will end up disagreeing too much about this stuff and I'll remove your source status, but it's really not a big deal. The topsendban list is just a first indication of abuse, and many excellent people are on it. Your place on there acts as a sort of benchmark: eg. chandra12 has a similar score there, but whereas you are an extremely active merit-giver with a diverse selection of posts merited (most of which anyone would agree with), chandra12 only has two large merit sends. His behavior in comparison to yours while having a similar topsendban score is what creates a strong abuse impression. I appreciate the work of you and other sources who take it seriously! I have taken the liberty to bold the pertinent part in your particular case. Therefore, I have distrusted you. Your actions of red trusting people for a post that they merit is not acceptable, at all. |

SwingFirst situation wasn't a life threating scenario that's why theymos didn't show interest. His case have already been resolved through counter-positive feedback left by DT members.
(Just my assumption not guarantee solution).
I agree that SwingFirst's situation isn't life threatening; however, now if anyone leaves a positive trust rating, it will only increase his trust score by one rather than potentially increasing his trust score by ten. Also, the positive trust left before Zepher's negative comment do not count at all toward the score. If Zepher's trust rating could be removed and Jet Cash and I removed our counterpositives, SwingFirst would enjoy a score of +40 rather than +1. Oh well, I guess it is only a number. |

Is this the first time DT1 member banned in the forum? I can't tell, but it's the first one I've seen. If he stays banned, he'll drop out of DT1 on the next update. Until then, he could be excluded by other DT1s, but will still keep his existing voting rights for other DT1s. Can a banned member still change their Trust setting? Also, can a banned member still leave trust comments? Can they delete their trust comments? |

OMG, I gave this user a good deal of merit for their work in Scam accusations. I wonder what he did. I also gave tvplus006 quite a few merit, too. He's banned as well. Looks like I have gone up in the ranks of people who give merits to banned users. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topsendban Poor chimk is now on top of the list and suchmoon is a distant second.  Edit: Now that I am caught up reading all of the threads in Meta, it appears that someone is on a sting operation to report plagiarized posts. I suppose that overall, this is a good thing. However, I suspect Theymos is going to be busy overturning some of these bans and issuing signature bans. |

Do DT1 members need to borrow money?
You are saying all who are in DT1 are filthy rich? 😜 I think it depends on someone's financial status. I certainly wish that were the case. However, I only risked what I thought that I could afford into BTC (which was a really puny amount), and made some poor choices on shit coins. So I am not rich. Too late to go back to late 2014 & 2015 to go balls deep. Also too late to go back in time and go balls deep in 2009 through 2011. However, with the rates people usually charge for a BTC loan, I haven't personally taken a BTC loan. Also, I have never run out of BTC, so there is no need on my part. |
