I have recently realized that my points for the activities/comments/posts are not credited. I am not talking about short and senseless comments. Are there any rules or regulations when you get them and when you don’t? Is that a moderator, who decides? What are the criteria? I’ve searched through the forum before posting this. Please give me some guidance.
You'll need 10 merit to rank to Member, besides the activity that's also required(that you already have). Read more about it here, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0There aren't really any rules as to how to get them, but it is really frowned upon to get them through trading, and it will probably earn you a nice red trust (It might even be bannable.) |

As the title suggests. I've spotted multiple newbies today alone spreading phishy links/straight malware/ self-advertising their shitty sites.
Simply making their links unclickable like you did with their signatures until they're Member would reduce all this spam, and might protect gullible users against these links before mods have a chance to remove them.
(I think this will also partially destroy the autobuy scams, as it's mostly Jr members/Newbies opening these topics with their fake links.)
EDIT: After thinking a bit deeper about this, i'm not entirely sure if these cons outweigh the pros (Since there are said newbies that make constructive posts using links, though that's the minority for sure..)

Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: trezor or ledger nano for a beginner ?...
|
on: August 13, 2018, 09:48:45 AM

i am new and need something more secure than bitcoin core to store my funds, what is a better option for me trezor or ledger nano ?!... also how to use the wallet to send funds to a BTC address, do i have to manually write it on the screen or what   I personally think that the Ledger Nano S is more user friendly, as it supports more coins etc, but i think it really comes down to personal preference, and how much you want to pay. Ledger is ~120$ vs Trezor being ~100$, so there's really not that much difference there.. Read some reviews about the two maybe? https://blockonomi.com/trezor-vs-ledger/also how to use the wallet to send funds to a BTC address, do i have to manually write it on the screen or what What exactly do you mean? From the wallet you currently have to your trezor/Ledger? You could just copy & paste the receiving adress for said coin on your hardware wallet ( ledger/trezor), and use that as the "send-to adress" in your current wallet. (Always check if you copied the right adress, there have been instances where people lost their coins due to clipboard malware!) |

Try to import the xpriv key into electrum and change gap limit from 20 to e.g. 100.
How would one access the master private key on Blockchain.info directly? I don't think that that is possible. Instead, OP should look for his backup phrase, and put that in a BIP39 compatible wallet to see if he can find his bitcoins, or in a script to then generate his xprv key. I just tried it wit the seed of a completely empty wallet from blockchain.info with https://iancoleman.io/bip39/, and it worked. ( Don't use this site when dealing with substantial amounts of money, as it could phish your coins, always use offline code that you verified yourself.) |

I tried with no success. Any other ideas ?
This seems really weird. I don't really understand how this could have happend, since the API is not supposed to go further than 20 unused adresses. ( This is also why i would never use a webbased wallet API that doesn't give me complete control over my funds like blockchain.com,) See https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki#Address_gap_limitWallet software should warn when the user is trying to exceed the gap limit on an external chain by generating a new address. It really does seem like blockchain.com is liable here. I'm not entirely sure how blockchain.com api works, or what their derivation paths are, but do you have a seed (Backup phrase) from when you created your wallet on their platform? |

A a captcha for your first post or two.
I would like a captcha to have until someone become a member. Since users do not need any merit until s/he become a member, they are open to spam the forum. I am not saying it's gonna stop the spamming 100% but this will at-least restrict the spammers. We could see some more merit abuse to achieve member rank though  That would be extremely annoying to anyone that uses public wifi, or any sort of VPN/TOR. It's already an almost impossible task to do google captcha's on a tor browser, let alone if you have to do it multiple times for each post that you make. but this will at-least restrict the spammers. And anyone that values their privacy, which i think is a pretty large part of this community.... |

Bitcoin is still free. Many people are OK with centralized exchanges with KYC and it is possible for them to use this. However, decentralized exchanges also exist (e.g. bisq, localbitcoins, liberalcoins, bitcoin ATMs) without need for KYC (no government ID required) and without risk that your funds will be frozen for arbitrary reasons. As long as it is possible to buy and sell bitcoin freely, peer-to-peer without limits or restrictions, bitcoin will remain free. No one forces you to use centralized exchanges.
All the above (Localbitcoins, bitcoinATMs) are perfect examples of centralized exchanges (Bisq might be the exeption, but who the hell uses them?). I don't really understand why you think they're decentralized exactly..? Just because they (Localbitcoins, liberalcoins) allow P2P trading? without need for KYC (no government ID required) And yet you list LBC, where KYC is a necessity... and without risk that your funds will be frozen for arbitrary reasons. LBC can freeze your account, your funds anytime they want, and have done so in the past. I don't think liberalcoins is any different..(With the exception of forcing KYC on customers.) |

and that person hold ETH for 400 days, which of the people will have more profits? I think we do not need to think too hard to know that the person who invests in ETH has many chances of having a 2x or 3x profit in 400 days. So why the hell would people invest in cloud mining?
The argument here obviously would be that you don't know if Ethereum will go up x2, x3 ( that would cost ~100 billion, so i personally also doubt that that will happen). versus mining, where you supposedly always have "income". But the same goes for mining, difficulty will increase, and so the earnings over time will decrease. This calculator is worthless and really the only thing that it proves is that they are a ponzi scheme. |

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitpay URIs to traditional BTC addresses
|
on: August 10, 2018, 10:17:16 AM
|
No I mean, if people know I can use Bitpay, then they also know I am using a wallet that is compatible with BIP70 payment requests. As I refer above responses, I did not know some wallets could not support Bitpay. I know it is not a big problem, but now I am reading it up, it appears only 2 wallets are capable of receiving bitpay invoices, and yes, I'm using one of them. So now I know Bitpay knows I am a user of one of such wallets  I dislike already cookies that even tell websites what computer and OS I am using. So this upsets me a little bit. I had no idea Bitpay was like this. No they don't necessarily. As posts above mentioned, you can still make a transaction to bitpay from a non-supportive BIP70 wallet, and Bitpay will have no clue from where the funds came from. And even if they did knew that your transaction came from "one of such wallets", what use would that be? 95% of the bitcoin community uses Bitcoin Core / Electrum. (Also, if you're using Electrum (I presume you do) like a "normal person" ( not looking at the Electrum server you connect to) you have more to worry about than Bitpay knowing what kind of wallet you use.) Electrum works differently from a lot of other SPV clients. With Electrum, users are required to connect to Electrum servers. The way blockchain.info track the IP transactions is to see who relayed the transaction to them first. If you're using Electrum, the only possible IP address you would see there is the server's. This does not mean that your privacy is preserved; Electrum servers can see all the addresses in your wallet.

It wasn't plagiarism (as he was the owner of the content posted), but rather that you copy & pasted your own (the same) posts in different threads multiple times. You can see the report of your account here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4846982.0It's a permaban. This is no different than copying someone else's post and if you do this then you have absolutely no intention of contributing here and you're 100% only doing it to farm your account and/or bleed bounties whilst putting in no effort at all. It's scumbags like these that are destroying the forum. If they're too lazy to actually make posts then don't bother. The global moderator's stance on your offense.
If I was banned for another reason then please let me know. I will make sure to improve and try not to repeat the same mistakes again.
That would be ban evasion ( which is also a perma-ban..) |

For something that is going to "change" the link shortening market, your site looks awfully normal.. Care to explain what is so revolutionary about your project compared to other URL shorteners (Adfly, mellowad), and what makes yours stand out? - the publishers earn 40 dollars for each 100 dollars paid to traffic and will change with the growth of the community so the publisher will earn more the more the website grow.
Only 40$ out of 100$ earned goes to the publisher, which means you take a 60% cut? Isn't that a lot? Will it be like mellowads where only unique traffic counts, or not? |

Depending on where you are from, i'm pretty sure you can ask Localbitcoins what data they still have from you, and to delete it. (If you're scared that they might try to sell it/abuse it). See https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/06/technology/gdpr-european-privacy-law.htmlWhat are your rights?
Even if you don’t notice big changes, the new law provides important privacy rights worth knowing about.
For instance, you can ask companies what information they hold about you, and then request that it be deleted. This applies not just to tech companies, but also to banks, retailers, grocery stores or any other organization storing your information. If they don't, they'll probably get fined big time. |

sorry i didnt understand what he means by that.. but if you can #answer or help me .. i have to sigh a message on this account or from the banned account??
Just sign a message and post it here. If you own that address, you can sign a message with it by following the thread[1] I linked above. [1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=990345.0this address i too old and maybe i cant reach it but even tho if i did that the account will be un banned?? Probably, some day. With all the Pm's to unlock accounts of other people that the admins are getting, it might take a while. I think this might change in the future, since theymos is developing software that automatically unlocks/recover accounts, although that might not apply to banned accounts. I also think global mods (Hilariousandco?) can unlock accounts if you can prove ownership? (I'm not sure if that'll work here though, since your account is banned?()) |

Hello, We have created site and launched it already as beta version after month of testing, We have data from lot of exchanges,portfolio,watch list, social stats, team, ICO information of coins, news ticker video and much more, there is no subscription or any kind of fee, also soon we will add API, site is https://coinlore.comSuggestion/feedback would be greatly appreciated Thanks I don't know man. The site really looks like it wants to be exactly as Coinmarketcap, but it just isn't. The design is a little bit worse, so are the fonts & graphs that you are using. You're also listing 50% less markets than Coinmarketcap, and coinmarketcap offers a much broader spectrum of tools & indexes, (top 100, trending, etc.) If this was begin 2017, I'd have maybe considered using your site over CMC, but right now i definitely wouldn't. |

This is not the right section for the question you're asking, it'd be better to move it if you want to receive a more constructive answer.. (I'd say that Beginners & Help is more relevant to this question.) ? Like, how do you determine how many posts/replies a person has made on a specific topic?
The same way a campaign manager would do that, by scrolling through their post history..?? Also, if the said project is not planning to utilize an escrow account, well maybe cause they have trust issues for the market, would that be detrimental? give off the wrong image to the potential legendary/hero signature-bearers? Would it be bad enough that the team may have to reconsider their choices and make the said escrow thingi? I myself wouldn't join a campaign of a brand new user without an escrow, but i'm guessing that it might not matter that much for other people, considering how many times this has already happend. A general direction to creating the said account would be also very helpful. Generally you just send the funds to someone in this forum that is deemed "very trustworthy", and then they hold the coins, usually for a small fee. |

When the blockchain's transaction is reversed if there are two users at the same time doing exchanges. This usually happens naturally. But it can be done on purpose by a hackers with the aid of ample hash power. But this is hard to come by.
Nice copypasta, but no. When the blockchain's transaction is reversed if there are two users at the same time doing exchanges. This usually happens naturally. But it can be done on purpose by a hackers with the aid of ample hash power. But this is hard to come by.
No. These are blocks that can be used in an attempt to reverse the transactions. These are normally caused by the attackers if they can generate enough hash power to be able to do such a thing.
No, not necessarily... Orphan block is the part of main chain. It built for reverse transaction it can occur naturally when two miner produce block. I think its good for reverse tranaction.
No, not necessarily.. It is not a big problem. You can get back your reward by using your privet key. it is also difficult but not imposibile. I think you will solve your problem as soon.
Not related to the topic AT all. Why would you even make a post if you have no clue what it is about.. Couldn't you atleast google the definition of an orphan block? I think this SE post covers the definition extremely well. https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/5859/what-are-orphaned-and-stale-blocks |

We can always do some research on an ICO that has caught your eye. For free, honestly and from the heart. Together we will prevail! shitcoinoffering.comYou've made over 7 posts today alone promoting your Wordpress-esque website. Keep it up!, cause you're going to get banned in no-time. (seriously, stop it. Make an ANN thread and bump that once a day instead of this crap that you're pulling right now.) Just at the scam accusation section of our forum because most of the scam projects or site will get caught there but even after they tagged most of the people are getting scammed by them because most of the forum users even don't know the existence of that section.
That's the reason we are giving all information, so no one get scammed again, if they see this thread and all information. so let's hope we are going to help someone to avoid get scammed. That is why the trust system is in use,but sometime I am worrying that people were scammed again even after they have been tagged,maybe many people don't know the trust system as well.Or they just login to the forum as guest user where they cannot see the trust rating of the person. Alot of projects/companies don't usually have an account on bitcointalk though. I see lots of people asking about certain cloud mining sites which are nowhere to be found on the forum, or any other place for that matter. |

Hello,
Most of the people join in bounty or airdrop and earn tokens. Even I also. But I don't know where I can sell that tokens with ICO price. Can anybody suggest me any site? Really I'm facing problems for this token sell.
Maybe google the token that you're trying to sell, or look it up in a website such as Coinmarketcap, https://coinmarketcap.com/If it's not listed on there (CMC), you might be wasting your time, since it is most likely a shitcoin that you're advertising.
I doubt it that you can sell those tokens within the ICO price, what I've read most of the sold tokens are under the ICO price.
Really makes me wonder why people are still buying into ICO's if that's "mostly" the case. |
