Mod copy paste's - and others

[rizzlarolla]

This old thread was bumped in development and technical, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=737836.60
Dabs, staff, posted this a while ago, but i saw it as it is on the last bumped page.

So I'm supposed to spend months of my life working for free?  Don't get me wrong I like crypto but I want to make some money.

Linux is open source.
Bitcoin is open source.
LibreOffice is a multiplatform open-source office suite.

I'm sure I can give you hundreds more examples. Each of those projects are "free to download and use" but the developers have happy lives and are being compensated somehow.

In the beginning, open source software looked like a saintly gift. Programmers would work hard, then give away the fruits of their labor to anyone who wanted it. Everyone would benefit from this act of pure charity.

Over time, however, companies realized they could make money and give away the software at the same time. They could do well by doing good. This wasn't a shock to some of the original open source advocates -- it was how some intended it to be. Richard Stallman, for one, always said that "free speech" was more important to him than "free beer." He embraced the idea that companies could charge anything they like -- as long as the user could fiddle with the code and distribute the result.

There is a common misconception that there is no money in open source software. It is true that open source code is free to download. But when it comes to making money you should think of this as an opportunity rather than a limitation.

    Businesses who make money in open source software include:

    MySQL (now owned by Oracle): Popular relational database.
    Red Hat: Major distributor of Linux for server and desktop use.
    WordPress: Widely used blogging platform.
    SugarCRM: Business customer relations management.
    Magento: E-commerce shopping platform.
    Zimbra: E-mail and messaging server.


If your idea is truly worth something, even if you give it away for free, you will surely get compensated somehow. I don't know how.

If it's not, then no one will pay for it anyway.

It is basically copy pasted from 2 other sites.
https://www.cio.com.au/article/528999/greed_good_9_open_source_secrets_making_money/
http://opensource.about.com/od/basics/tp/5-Ways-To-Make-Money-With-Open-Source-Software.htm

I am presuming dabs is not the author of these two other sites.
Dabs makes no acknowledgement or reference to above sites.

Looks like copy paste to me.

Thank you.

I forgot where I got them from. Edited post to reference original. I was not staff back then. I tend to copy paste good ideas from where ever I read them, just keep notes in notepad or paste into some random text file in my tablet or laptop.

Feel free to let me know of any other posts (of mine particularly) as I've done a few thousand of them over the past couple of years.

I am not going to justify anything, I just believe that the message is more important than the messenger. It doesn't matter who says it. Also, unlike others, I have no motive or incentive to do random copy pastes, I don't join sig campaigns or make money that way.

I think for now gold is better than bitcoin because gold has already established a track record and people know what is gold and that it can protect them or its like an insurance for them if they have money problems, they can always sell the gold  in exchange for fiat and it has higher value than bitcoin. But when bitcoin will be of higher value than gold and it would be more popular then  it would be better than gold because you can carry it wherever you want and no one knows that you have a lot of money since its anonymous.

the question is why would you not accept Bitcoin as your salary?  It is the same ass taking cash in your local currency, it is just in another form.  It would be like taking gold or silver instead of receiving USD for me.

Of course, I would love to receive my salary in BTC. Actually I am already receive some of my salary in BTC as I have an online work or job that pays BTC while in my day job I am paid in my countries currency automatically credited into my bank account during payday.

And a few from his last session,

I guess that stealing Bitcoin is illegal because if they do not belong to you then it is still considered stealing even if people think that Bitcoin is illegal as well.
So yes stealing Bitcoin is still not legal but there is not much that can be done if it happens.

in our area still there is not a single department who have accepted bitcoin, therefore bitcoin need some more effort to become popular, but it is also a fact that the number of bitcoin users is increasing day by day.

I think holding the bitcoin for a long time is good although its depending on what you of course consider as a long time.
Most of the times a long time can be good its just a matter of time these days to make profit with the bitcoin.

Banned. Thanks and nice catch btw.

Your welcome. See, i'm not all bad! 

[Chris!]

Is there a software you or anyone else uses to find these copy and pasted posts? I tried basic things like searching parts of posts on the forum search and google but even when I know it's copy and pasted (because someone has reported it like on this thread) I can't find the posts at all.

TL;DR how do you find copy/pasted posts, manually or with software?

Manually for me. Google search, not forum search.

[gkv9]

You are truly a great person, the one this community always wanted...
A light of hope is now here on the forum and will surely spread happiness among us instead of bullshit and spam that we are all around...
Regards and good luck for your work ahead, Mr. Superman...

Do you search snippets of a quote or do you search the whole thing? I don't know much about coding but this seems like something someone could make a script for that if they see say 20 words the same in a row they get notification somehow.

If you want,you can automate anything.You don't have to search snippts,depends on the posts actually.Copy pasting in google search links to the actual bitcointalk comment,multiples if any.The problem is you don't know out of the million posts which one's are copy pasted,you gotta pick your targets manually.

[hilariousandco]

I wish there was a script for this because copy and pasting is rife and quite difficult to spot especially if you're not looking out for it and it's extremely time-consuming to do so. The only real way to catch them is to copy a few fairly unique words or a typo that stands out and put them in the search but even they can bring up pages of results along with all the posts that have quoted it. They tend to do it in the big threads with 40+ pages but not exclusively.

[rizzlarolla]

Im guessing the OP thought he had busted a Staff Member breaking rules.

Yeah, i think i did.
Did i think anything would happen? nah.

I did slate you once for no real reason, always meant to apologise, never did. I chilled, as you suggested. (apologies now)
I guess i was owed the picture thingy.

Blimey, thank you sir.

Do you search snippets of a quote or do you search the whole thing?

Could be either, i think google only uses the first 30ish words. Depends what mood googles in also.

Sometimes if looking at someones post history, you may notice they suddenly speak, or write differently, maybe they suddenly speak prefect English, before suddenly loosing that ability again.

It is pot luck, and you will not find many. I don't look much.
It is quite unbelievable that someone would copy paste such spam trash posts as above, (manyute)
It must be just as quick to type a near as copy, like the shitposters he copied off, and not risk a ban!

Added

snip... They tend to do it in the big threads with 40+ pages but not exclusively.

I think that was the case here.
Maybe the threads that manyute posted in need looking at as part of the close a useless thread thing you got going.
At least in discussion.
There is even "Would you like to receive your salary in Bitcoin?" in discussion, and "Will you accept Bitcoin as your salary?" in off topic.
Which manyute replied to both!

[rizzlarolla]

just looking at PieCrafted. I was sure he was on my farmed list, cant find him there though, maybe i've yet to post him!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=552962
followed his posts to "Do you use a bot for trading?"  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1638032.msg16688871.

Jeez, the whole thread is teaming with famed accounts, and PieCrafted copy pasting.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience. It must be really a great help to this community. I really appreciate it.

Bots are working as per predetermined parameters. So, expecting them to perform well for all type of market conditions is completely meaningless. If we are having some knowledge on setting up those parameters, we will be get chances to make them work according to market conditions but it is not for beginners, only advanced traders could do this.

ok, i see other examples of copy paste now. Clearly different writing to his not copy paste posts.

If I am correct the US dollar is already dominating the Bitcoin trading because most people are selling there Bitcoins against the US dollar.
I think that this is going to be the same for a long time I do not see any reason why people would trade in for a other currency.

Nobody should neither impose hard fork nor soft fork without consensus IMHO, not even on core.

Although I believe that with a soft fork, everything keeps working for everyone and with a hard fork there are users who can't see some transactions, and think they haven't gotten paid when they have.
But with soft forks, the protocol in 10 or 20 years is going to be a horrible and confusing mess.

TL;DR soft forks are grotesque. Hard forks are violent.

ok, 1 more from today, i'll have a quick look if this is a new habit for him, or not.

Ok checked PieCrafted post history beyond today, lots of other copy paste, wont quote.

Good job, Rizz. 

I happened upon some jerk who copied part of one of my posts earlier this year, and I must say I was at first flattered.   And then I quickly reported his stupid bug-eating ass.

Just bumped into Grobogan - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=900939

"Is it better to save money or invest it?"

Saving is putting money aside bit by bit, to make a lump sum. You need to save for a particular goal, like having money for a holiday, a depoist on house, or any emergencies that might crop up. Often saving is taken to mean putting your money into cash products, like bank and building society accounts, and thats how define savings.

i think bitcoin can never help  to the poor country while it can help to the poor people pf the world . because a man will use his mind to earn money with particular stretgy while the people pf whole country will not do the same , many of them will try to gamble and will loss their money .

I do not think so, bitcoin are required gadgets and internet connection to access and to work with and if the people in that poor country can not afford that i think bitcoin can not help them.

chop? copy paste by wibuindon

I think poor countries can help by bitcoin if the people in poor country have pc or gadget and internet connection, if the people in that poor country can not afford that i think bitcoin can not help them.

I only choose Bitcoin wallet because the transactions from one wallet to other is instant and have low transaction fees. And If the price of Bitcoin increases I will be making profits......

I prefer bitcoin wallet because the transactions from one wallet to other is instant and have low transaction fees and If the price of bitcoin increases I will be making profits, so i prefer bitcoin wallet.
