I've started 16 threads.

[Jet Cash]

I've started 16 threads that are on the first page of the Ivory Tower board. I'm not the most knowledgeable member here, and probably not even the most interesting, so what is tha matter with all you senior members? Theymos gave you a great place to enter into good informed discussions about any sensible topic, and it's spam free.

Unfortunately I don't have enough hair to help you scale the walls of the Ivory Tower, but if you can manage to enter the hallowed portal. I promise to try to keep Dame Gothel away from you. Come on guys, I'm too old to handle Rapunzel on my own, I need some help from you silver moused posters.

I normally post on the serious discussion board when I'm not on a signature campaign,and I found out that in there discussions are really sparce and scarse,you hardly find a topic with more than 10 replies,and it's surprising considering thats the board you get to avoid newbies,spammers etc,that we all really complain about..

I can't really say anything about the ivory tower board,i am miles and miles away from ever posting on it

[bluefirecorp_]

I've read a few of your "threads". They're mostly lunatic conspiracy theories. I'm amazed they're considered "ivory tower" quality tbh.

I think I posted there a few times before the requirements changed. I'm not sure though. Pretty sure my threads were purged though.

I did comment in some of those threads, but I just took a look at what's available and a lot of the threads deal with politics, and I detest politics so much so that I stopped watching television around 2001 and have never followed political discussion on the internet and barely keep up with what's going on in the world.  That's just me, but I am a hermit and enjoy my blissful ignorance of the assholes in power and what they're doing to destroy us all.

Other topics in Ivory Tower dealing with tech like "bricking" a phone or the New Zealand digital strip search I read with interest but didn't feel qualified enough to comment on. 

Not sure why Ivory Tower and Serious Discussion haven't caught on like I thought they would, but there are some good threads there from time to time that I post in.  Maybe it's too political?  Maybe the amount of discussion being had is too thin?  Who knows, but I shall kiss your bald head in appreciation of your efforts to keep the Tower alive.

I would love to be part of the discussion on that board and contribute to it but presently my restrictions limits me on the board I can only watch and not post.  It's really hurt me deep. But I know I will give my best to be there

Same here ^^
Most of the time i spend on bitcointalk, i'm trying to help people with technical problems, problems with development, meta questions, and i try to learn the technical background of new crypto based technologies.

The last time i looked at the ivory tower, it was completely filled with threads that didn't look interesting to me... It's just a matter of personal taste, but i couldn't bring myself to start reading those threads... It's perfectly possible somebody else might be interested, and i'm sure the people participating in those threads have a good time, and enjoy spam-free threads. However: i'd need a completely different kind of OP to start participating in the ivory tower.

[Hivalley]

I usually do a routine tour of the forum,and I actually do pop into the ivory tower/serious discussions board but really I do not fancy topics I come across in them and they just hardly ever appeal to me,of course I'm ineligible to post on the ivory tower board,but even if I was I doubt I'll patronize that section,its almost synonymous with the serious discussion board(there is hardly ever anything serious in it)

[Jet Cash]

One of the reasons that we need the Ivory Tower is to remove the blinkers and blindfolds from people who think that the current economic ills are just normal, and not partof an orchestrated plan. You don't have to be a member of Mensa to realise that the deliberate destruction of Greece, fractional reserve banking, the villification of Russia,  the exporting of wealth and industry to Asia, the attempts to overthrow Assad, and the many other things that are happening around the world, are part of a coordinated plan. Reports from the Bilderberg conferences and other meetings confirm this. Discussions in the Ivory Tower could help people to understand the changes that are happening at the moment.

But that is just my area of interest. The really sad thing is that other members are not raising the topics that are of interest to them.  I was going to start a crypto related discussion, but I was concerned that I was monopolising the board.

It's not some grand conspiracy that doing naughty shit paints you as the bad guys.

It's a good job that the US doesn't do any hacking or spying, and that they don't interfere inthe politics of any other countries.

Well of course it doesn't does it? Microsoft is a deep state globalist organisation, and is therefore above the US, which is manipulated by the unicorns like Obama and Clinton.

We won't even start on the Fed.

[detector]

I'm sure there will be some people who seek the quality board , it's just a matter of time.


Just like btc, on 2009  

[HODL2090]

I feel the problem may be the diversity on those boards.
Serious discussion and Ivory tower contains discussions that can range from, politics to family planning. And people hardly discuss cryptocurrency related topics, maybe cause there are sufficient boards for that.

If there were child boards made for more specific topics. People could interact the one they are most enthusiastic about.

Kremlin exploited 0day RCE in Exchange. I don't think it was a known vulnerability to even the NSA.

but of course the US engages in cyber warfare.

I’m never sure whether to make threads in the ivory tower/serious discussion boards or not. The topic doesn’t seem like it’d interest people too much. The topics i’ve Started there are more of a science-economic stand points on certain things, not exactly bitcoin related at all (at least my last one wasn’t) - I liked that thread.

Serious discussion is also quite often a place that’s good for Sri’s cussing altcoins without the broken clock bounty spammers that are trying to do whatever they can to earn their one merit or bump a certain giveaway thread...

4 of the first five threads were started by me, -

One cent crypto coins - I'm interested in starting a small speculation club for fun, and wanted to try some of the undervalued cryptos.

Will Russia create a new European Union? - OK that's a political one, and could be a cospiracy theory candidate.

The Hublot Bitcoin watch has sold out. - Bitcoin collectables and memorabilia are interesting to many members here.

Will liquidation chop bots kill amateur trading in Bitcoin? A possible discussion topic for day traders in Bitcoin

I think there is a reasonable mix there, and it is probably unfair to tar with with a tin foil hat for all my threads.

Shitcoin discussion could have went in the altcoin section.

Russia / EU conspiracy could have went in politics and society.

Who cares about bitcoin collectibles? I'm fairly certain there's a section literally for the buy/sell/trade purpose of those things.

Liquidation bots could easily go under economics.

None of the topics really go into depth too much and gloss over surface levels of it all.

I'm sure you can find more detailed information on each of those subjects in other sections. Well, probably not the conspiracy EU bullshit...that's a bit new.

The idea of the Ivory Tower was to take threads away from the spam infested boards, and to generate higher quality discussions. Suggesting that topics are posted on the bounty hunting boards is counter to the concept of the IT board.

Serious thread that was supposed to be high quality content, but no one really contributed

No one really has the expertise to discuss any of these topics at length it seems.

I forget to check those boards..
When I look through the boards that interest me I don't seem to remember those ones..

Bitcoin is a prepper's tool, and discussions about it, and the economic collapse are all over YouTube and other media platforms, but we don't seem to get any relevant discussions here, other than blinkered comments about it all being conspiracy theory.

Where are the discussions about the impending crypto split between security tokens and utility tokens? Has anybody mentioned that some large blocks of Bitcoin have been moved out of exchanges and into private wallets? and what about the billions of dollars worth of US stocks that the Swiss Central Bank sold last month? There are a load of topics like these that could be discussed without the spam intrusions.
