Wall of fame / shame. Shit posts so bad that they are actually funny

[1miau]

Yes, committing plagiarism in a topic where plagiarism is called out, is a good idea... 

It's so bad, it's actually funny. 

Sweet Jesus, that's so pathetic a thing to do that it could only happen on bitcointalk.  Seriously.  I don't think anyone would go through all that trouble to paraphrase (and hence plagiarize) someone else's post on plagiarism anywhere else. 

Indeed, we have many "specialists" here on Bitcointalk. 

Did anyone report that to the mods, by any chance?  Nobody mentioned they did so. 

Yesterday, lovesmayfamilis reported Belinda1732 for different cases of plagiarism here but if we all report the post from Belinda1732 itself, add a link to lovesmayfamilis report in "report Plagiarizers" and the explanation from KingsDen, maybe a ban will get issued faster. 

It isn't as though we're lacking alt farms and account farmers who have limited imaginations.

And limited reading skills...

Humans are such weird animals. I mean, after reworking the post that hard, why not just write something new, ffs? And then to post it back on the same page it was taken from and expect nobody to notice? My thoughts are too unkind to share, so I'll just say: Wow!

As an aside, I've developed a general distrust of members with usernames in the format Belinda1732 used, which is a capitalized name followed by a series of numbers.  I've seen so many of them get busted for various shit over the years that I've become totally prejudiced against them--it might be illogical, but what can I say.  It isn't as though we're lacking alt farms and account farmers who have limited imaginations.

This. I haven't been around for very long but my spidey-sense also tingles when I see usernames like that. Yesterday, I wanted to merit a newbie for putting some obvious effort into this topic, but their username followed that pattern and together with their low activity, I just couldn't bring myself to do it, I don't know why.

I had to take a look at the PMs in my inbox to see how many requests for post history reviews I've gotten from members whose usernames fit that pattern, and there were two (though I deleted the ones from members I've banned from making further requests).  And it seems like the members with four digits after the name are the least likely to make decent posts--granted, I'm not presenting proof here, just saying what my own spidey sense is tingling about.  There are a lot of fine, upstanding members of the community who have the [Name][1-3 digits] format as their bitcointalk handle. 

Maybe all of that is in my head, but I distinctly recall the time before the merit system when I was tagging shitposters and I'd come across that pattern constantly.  End of off-topic rant.

Belinda1732 prolly saw that lovesmayfamilis had earned three merits from their post in that thread and decided to put in their best abilities into reworking/paraphrasing it to see if they could earn some merits for themselves, if lovesmayfamilis could get three merits for the original post, then the paraphraser should get something, maybe half of it (1.5 isn't sendable, so 1 would've done ) for a job well done, they definitely couldn't believe in themselves to earn what they desperately sought through writing something new.

Belinda1732 couldn't wait, the thread isn't a megathread so it was never going to ~15th page so they could prolly drop the plagiarism unnoticed, they had to post it back on the same page 1 and hope for luck, so like you i'd just say: wow!

I was talking about the Newbie because he spammed his plagiarism content right away in a topic against plagiarism. 
Or the Newbie is just trolling...
Who knows?

I mean, after reworking the post that hard, why not just write something new, ffs?

Reason 1: Since it's too hard for Belinda1732, to come up with unique content, I don't expect any miracle here.
Reason 2: time is money. It's not efficient to waste time by writing unique content.
But my bet is on reason 1.

And then to post it back on the same page it was taken from and expect nobody to notice? My thoughts are too unkind to share, so I'll just say: Wow!

Shhh!
Some shitposters will listen to your "advice" and post it in a different thread about a similar topic.

A'ight.  I'm puttin' my six-shooter back in the holster for now, pardner.

Huh, that's some good thinking right there--seriously, that makes logical sense.  On the other hand that's taking a huge risk that the original merit-giver (in this case lovesmayfamilis) wouldn't notice the paraphrased post which would probably stand out like a stiff dick if said merit-giver saw it.  Plagiarists on this forum aren't renowned for their blazing intellect, mind you, but one would have to be either very young, retarded, or a complete fucking moron not to see the folly in doing as Belinda1732 did.

Many gambling casinos right now is giving a good RTP to their games because this courage a lot of members or players to play in their gambling casino, also regarding the exact algorithm or variable with it because this is confidential with the database connection, but still, there's information in the internet that could be used as references to the RTP of the casino.

Yep, that's pretty shit if you ask me.  Question: what's RTP in this context?  I'm too lazy to visit the thread from which this shitty shitpost originated from, as my eyes have been exposed to too much retina-burning nonsense as of late.  "Return To Player"?

Anyone check the rest of Peanutswar's post history?  I'm wondering if it's filled with crap like the above.  There's so much of it in the two gambling sections, it's unreal.

Sure, that's a weak post (seems to be deleted now) but I don't think it's outstandingly shitty, is it? I mean, it doesn't make me want to scribble out my will and walk into traffic.

Yup, I had to look it up, but RTP = "Return To Player"; 2% house edge = 98% RTP. Speaking of your abused retina, I understand why you (instinctively) didn't look it up yourself, because holy shit are there some terrible articles about it out there, so thanks for resting your eyeballs at the expense of mine.

Shitty in the way it looks like some hard boiled eggs and banana chunks mixed with mayonnaise in a bucket to make the meal !

BTW I have noticed a lot of 4 digit  after the  names  that are merit farmers

Germany has a standard 19% VAT and a 9% VAT for foodstuff.

As you explained correctly, VAT differs from country to country and currently, Germany has a standard 19% VAT and a 9% VAT for foodstuff.

C'mon can't someone just toss a bone to a guy who got screwed over hard in life.
I discovered Bitcoin in 2008 and despite that I have nothing to show for it because of a f'd up life.

Well, I discovered bitcoin in around 1978, but I did not know what it was going to be called until 2008 - but then again, I did not even realized that it had been named in 2008 until 2013-ish - because it was not until 2013 until I got reacquainted with the thing that I had found out to be called bitcoin that had been budding in my head since 1978, but I had not yet realized what that thingie was that was budding in my head until a later point in time (ie.. 2008 that later transmorphized into 2013)... #justsaying, that's how it happened with me.

Total Newbie.  Apologies for a dumb question.  Please help.
I've been sitting on a BTC wallet and a 'legacy' BTC address since 2009.  The wallet starts with the number 1.

It's a bitcoin-qt wallet and I've just opened it.  It was over 730 weeks behind.  There is an orange header at the top of the wallet with a message

"URGENT: Alert key compromised, upgrade required"

Do I need to do anything other than let it sync?  How would I update the wallet?

Updating an old wallet can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. Depending on the type of wallet, you'll want to take certain steps to ensure you are keeping it safe and secure.


For leather wallets, make sure to regularly clean it with a damp cloth to remove any dirt and grime. It's also important to use a leather conditioner to maintain the leather and keep it from drying out.


If you have a wallet made from synthetic materials, use a damp cloth to clean it but avoid using any chemical cleaners. If the wallet is starting to look worn out, use an appropriate patch to prevent further damage.


Finally, you'll want to make sure your wallet is up to date with the latest security features. This may include RFID-blocking technology, a locking system, or a tamper-resistant zipper. By taking the proper steps, you can make sure your wallet remains safe and secure.

I've reported it, so you may not see this gem for long.
So, guys and gals, if you don't want to have problems with your bitcoin wallets,  make sure you clean them properly and use leather conditioner!

This is not weird at all, don't you remember Trump's suggestion on how we could destroy covid? By injecting sanitizer.🤣

you as a user can not create a Bitcoin address without going through verification and confirmation of the validity of the address before authentication, so don't be so gullible not to notice the error message of the address if not valid or valid to an already existing wallet.

Thought this response was a joke at first:

What is kidney stone :
Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and acid salts that stick together in concentrated urine.

I only had kidney sand and that was terrible, can't imagine how the stone feels like

Turns out he's a SEO spambot but his post did make me laugh (unless kidney sand is a real thing  .  Maybe kidney sand turns into kidney stones?).
