Maybe imgur blacklisted Bitcointalk because of ChartBuddy, wouldn't be surprised, lol.

I did wonder that. But lots of other people use imgur across many threads and the proxy keeps the number of requests down.

The bigger issue is likely because the proxy aggregates a *lot* of requests as being from the same address. Although it actually reduces the data requested from imgur, it looks like bad behavior.

Is there any official statement from Theymos yet?
Will the issue even be investigated?
I hope it wasn't CB to piss off imgur and block ip.bitcointalk.org

yes.

I think that what it is is that imgur added a new very restrictive per-IP limit on image downloads. So all ip.bitcointalk.org requests are blocked, but even many Tor exit nodes are being blocked, for example.

I'm not going to attempt to play some cat-and-mouse game with imgur, so people will just have to use a different service such as TalkImg.

But I have faced problem some time which is very bad experience for me, Many times I couldn't upload a photo after many tries so I got frustrated and used a platform other than imgur. But it is true that imgur has some problems.

Edited.

Thanks.
He's absolutely right on the cat/mouse aspect, regarding it's not a mistake to limit requests from bitcointalk to imgur.

Crypto news are a bit depressing don't you think ? Much more FUD and crap than positive news. Well a bit like real news I guess.

The ledger thing for example, they provide hardware wallets that help you be your own bank without too much complication (seed is secure even if the computer/smartphone isn't), then they offer a service where you need to KYC and give up your seed to a third party, makes sense NOT !

MPs say cryptocurrency has 'no intrinsic value' and call for trading to be regulated as a form of gambling NOT a financial service

I'd be quite happy if BTC was seen as gambling in the UK, far less interference from the state and I wouldn't be liable to pay 20% capital gains tax on any profits to these mofos.

OT: Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway sells entire stake in TSMC
https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/16/investing/berkshire-hathaway-taiwan-tsmc-stock-exit-hnk-intl/index.html

What do insiders like Warren Buffett know? China war with U.S. over Taiwan coming soon?

Black swan event in Taiwan?

The linked article does quote Buffett expressing concern about geopolitical tensions in the area, as do several other snippets I've read before. "I'd feel safer if that money was in Japan", he said, or something to that effect. I don't suppose it means he actually knows any details about the immediate future, but he sure has strong hunches.

Depending on when he bought he might have made a nice profit already.

He wouldn't "buy high, sell low" for sure.

Hasn't bitcoin been "buried" all these years? They constantly give a heap of all sorts of arguments, explain and make negative forecasts. But bitcoin is still with us, and with its success still gives a reason for the spiteful critics to come out with malice. Of course, it's important to be aware of what's happening, but don't worry too much about FUD or bad news from some centralized companies like ledger.
