This user has been tagged by many users for posting links with malicious Files and Ai Spam. Yet he isn't stopping and continuously posting Using Ai. I have started using stealthwriter and GPTZero and not Used Sapling Ai as It's Not encouraged to use it.

Thanks for the clarification — this is a really useful distinction. A lot of people still confuse monetary inflation with price inflation, so seeing it explained alongside the chart helps put things into perspective. The long-term supply schedule makes Bitcoin’s design much easier to understand when viewed this way.

Nice to see this opportunity posted here — marketing and community building are still two of the most underrated skills in crypto projects today. A great design or a strong token model only takes you so far if the message never reaches the right people.

I’m curious: when you say “marketing manager for hire”, what kind of metrics or milestones are you expecting? Growth in social followers, token listings, cross-chain adoption?

And for the bounty side of things: do you prioritise long-term community contributors, or fast short-term viral growth?

Looking forward to seeing how this plays out — good luck!

I think everyone here shares the same pain point: cross-chain sounds great on paper but using it in real life can still be stressful. I’ve had smooth transfers before, and then other times waited 25+ minutes wondering if my funds were just gone.

What I find interesting lately is how the whole market is shifting. A few years ago bridges felt like a temporary workaround, but now they’re becoming actual core infrastructure for liquidity to move where it’s most efficient.

Still, the biggest concern for me is security — too many hacks in this sector to ignore. If a bridge fails, it fails catastrophically.

Has anyone here found a cross-chain solution they trust enough to use regularly? Preferably one that protects users even if a validator or routing node gets compromised?

Good day everyone, as I wrote to this this user that tagged me in his message, I did not understand what =1 meant on my profile until I got informed. This is reason why this appeal is coming late, please i do not use AI to write my post and I'm appealing for the tag to be removed on my account as it seems it is holding my progress on the forum. Take a look at my post again and you will see they are just common knowledge I am passing out. It is not so sophisticated for me to make use of AI.

I am a freelancer, I write articles for a living, and I have many years of experience before I got introduced to the forum which could be why some of my posts are filled with big words and that could be the reason my post was flagged. Please I am requesting for the tag to be removed from my profile, because this makes me look bad and I can put my life on the line that none of my posts were made with the help of any AI tools.

Post 1.
This is a well thought out framework, especially for people who keep postponing Bitcoin accumulation because they feel they must completely finish building an emergency fund first. I agree with the idea of making progress on both simultaneously, as long as survival money remains protected. The key point here is the principle: emergency funds must stay liquid and stress-free, while Bitcoin should be treated as a long-term reserve, not something to be touched during short-term challenges (very important to note)

Where I would add emphasis is on flexibility and income growth. Fixed allocation rules work better for stable incomes, but for alot of people, especially in volatile economies, adaptability matters more than strict ratios. DCA and starting small are strong habits because they remove emotion and promote consistency over time. When paired with deliberate efforts to increase income, this approach becomes far more sustainable and reduces the temptation to compromise either the emergency fund or long-term Bitcoin goals.

Post 2.

Well now this is a very balanced take. Too often we see risk being framed as something unique to crypto, but as we know in reality, inaction carries its own risk, especially in an environment where inflation keeps eroding purchasing power and traditional opportunities are shrinking. The real issue, as you pointed out, is unfamiliarity and lack of education. learning reduces uncertainty, i mean it does not eliminate risk, but it helps you take calculated risks instead of emotional ones. alot of people missed early opportunities simply because they waited to feel “safe,” and by the time clarity came, prices had already adjusted. Starting small, accumulating gradually, and prioritizing knowledge is a far more sustainable approach than waiting indefinitely.

Post 3.
Well, you have explained this very well, especially the separation between value storage and liquidity for daily life. Treating Bitcoin as a long-term savings option while relying on stable income streams for expenses removes a lot of emotional pressure from decision-making. The DCA approach also makes sense because it builds discipline and reduces the temptation to react to short-term price movements. A lot of people get it wrong by mixing survival money with long-term holdings. Once your bills and responsibilities depend on BTC price action, panic and overtrading becomes almost inevitable. Financial freedom is more realistic when income generation funds daily life, and Bitcoin remains a protected reserve that benefits from time, not constant attention.

Well you deleting the posts tagged here isn't a good indication. Instead of telling people here that you are Innocent you should prove your innocence and only then your tag can be removed.

Ps: I re-checked your posts And they are all mostly Ai. The Ai detectors Don't Flag "Big Words" as Ai generated but those which are really Ai so Stop with The nonsense of you Using "Big Words".

 Grin Easy man.
A better way would be to admit your mistake and write quality posts from now on without AI. I am confident that after some time @Ultegra134 will reconsider the tag (I might be wrong but that's my suggestion lol)

No please, I am not the one deleting the post, i think the post were deleted because they got reported as I got messages that some of my post were deleted because they are off topic. I also noticed that some of my post in my local dialect got deleted and I saw one being reported for AI too in this trend which is so surprising to me that I will need to use AI tto write a post in my dialect. I will not be here trying to defend myself if I'm not innocent, I'm just pleasing for my case to be looked into and a benefit of doubt, I am writing everything from my hea

You sent me a message and asked why you were given a neutral tag, I believe that you know the reason yourself, otherwise you wouldn't be in this topic; it's ironic that you are asking on PM when you already know it. I didn't reply not because I was ignoring you, but because outside this forum, we have busy lives that keep us occupied, I haven't even replied to my friend's PM, let alone yours, which is merely a priority.

The reported posts were written by AI, and it's evident by the way you're writing now, your previous posts were almost perfect, but your current ones are far from that, can't even be compared with those that ended up deleted. You would be far better if had came clean, rather than try to pursuade us that you weren't using AI.

I believe you weren't the one deleting the posts, but as far as everything else, I dunno, seems like the detectors have evolved a bit to detect Nigerian pidgin. Several of your old posts come back as AI-generated, its clearly more than a case of several false positives. Here's one I found at random:

Politics itself is a game of power, but in Nigeria na battlefield of personal interests instead of platform for progress. The word 'politics' isn’t supposed to be dirty by nature; it’s supposed to be about leadership, vision, and service. But the way it’s practiced here has made many young people lose faith in governance entirely especially me. The real problem is not just politics as a system, but the people and the mindset driving it. Once power becomes a means of survival instead of responsibility, corruption and greed automatically take over. Instead of building the nation, everyone starts building their own corner, their family, their tribe, or their pocket. That’s why we see nepotism, clannishness, and cronyism everywhere you look in Nigeria

The truth is, until politics in Nigeria stops being about who gets what and starts being about how we can all move forward, omo the system will continue to fail. The citizens themselves also need to change their approach, we can’t keep selling votes or celebrating politicians who only enrich themselves.... unfortunately, we know Nigeria’s political game will remain as toxic as it is today because everybody want their 'turn'

After adding a period to the last sentence, these are the results:

Copyleaks: 100% AI-generated
Sapling: 99.2% Fake
GPTZero: 85% AI generated

In your opinion, why do you think this is happening to your posts, if you're not using AI?

If that's the case, imagine going through all this effort for nothing, when you could simply focus on your own, main account, and writing decent content.

Another 'common knowledge' without 'common sense'.

Bitcoin has a built-in shock event that happens every few years, and it changes the whole crypto market. It is called the Bitcoin halving.
A halving happens when the reward that miners get for adding new blocks is cut in half. This happens after every 210,000 blocks, which is roughly every four years. The goal is simple. Slow down the new Bitcoin supply over time.

What happened in the past halvings?
Bitcoin has already gone through four halvings.
In 2012, the reward dropped from 50 BTC to 25 BTC. In 2016, it dropped to 12.5 BTC. In 2020, it became 6.25 BTC. Most recently, in April 2024, Bitcoin halved again and the reward became 3.125 BTC.

After previous halvings, Bitcoin did not jump in price overnight. The big moves usually came months later because new supply became tighter while demand kept building. This is why many investors watch the halving cycle closely.

What could happen next?
No one can promise what Bitcoin will do, but we can look at the main factors that matter.
A lower daily supply can support the price if demand stays strong. At the same time, the market is now more mature than before. In 2024 and 2025, Bitcoin also gained more attention from large investors, especially after the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States in January 2024.
Still, risks remain. If global markets turn weak or interest rates stay high, crypto can slow down too.

For the latest updates and simple breakdowns, follow Coinography and stay focused on facts, not hype. What do you think will matter more in the next cycle, supply shock or investor demand?

I'm sorry if there is a misunderstanding here, i saw the tag and i messaged you to explain myself and after not getting a response, i thought you were ignoring me then i noticed the reference was clickable, which i used to get to this thread and started my appeal.  i have taken some of post and tested in the AI detectors and they made it clear that it was the punctuation and flow of my wordings, that was the reason they got flagged as AI written. Once again, i am the one writing my post myself, please take a look at my posts again, it is not something i need AI to write for me, i am still pleading as i dont want to end my journey here before it starts. The tag on my profile is saying bad about me and that is why i am still here pleading, please reconsider, thank you.

Clearly, you're not realising (or you're not accepting, most likely) that there's a discrepancy between your current posts, such as this one, and the posts that got deleted or are generally before you got reported.

Quoting you a older post of yours,

I will agree with your perspective, especially on the distinction between Bitcoin as a long-term wealth tool versus daily cash flow. The way many Nigerians view crypto, it often becomes a shortcut to “quick financial relief,” but the reality is that its volatility makes it unreliable for everyday expenses. Treating Bitcoin purely as a hedge or future-oriented asset aligns with how it can realistically serve financial planning. That is why having skills alongside your crypto holdings is very crucial. Skills give you a steady way to earn in dollars, naira, or crypto, while Bitcoin works quietly in the background like a long-term investment. In other words, Bitcoin plants the tree, but your skills are what keep you fed while it grows.
I underlined one specific sentence only to show you what I'm saying. Your level of English on your recent posts, including those you're typing here is simple and basic, no punctuation marks, basic grammar and what we call in English "baby words". Your older posts however are full of spectacular vocabulary "future-oriented", "aligns", really?

You know, people would be more likely to accept you for admitting and owning up to your mistake, but instead, you're trying to prove us something that isn't true, do you take us for idiots?

I currently visited this user's thread where the OP didn't seem suspicious but when he replied to a user then I was sure he was using Ai.

User: Unsaint32

Post 1:
Thanks for all the thoughtful perspectives. I agree that my five-year timeline is probably unrealistic—but we are also living in a period where long-term forecasting is unusually difficult because of AI. AI clearly has growing pains, but its potential is hard to ignore.

For example, I had never written code before, yet yesterday I used Claude to build a simple HTML app that lets me upload my investment portfolio CSV files and generates a report with percentage allocations and a pie chart. The whole thing took about 15 minutes.

During the last industrial revolution, human labor was the main bottleneck. In the next one, I suspect the bottleneck will be energy. At the same time, compute efficiency continues to improve every year. Taken together, it doesn’t seem impossible that we eventually reach something close to Star Trek–level abundance, where most people no longer care much about money in their day-to-day lives.

I do agree that Bitcoin would not disappear in that world—and it may even thrive in a different role. That’s my suspicion, though I’m aware I’m not entirely unbiased.

Post 2:
I’m trying to see if anyone else has experienced this, or if this is a known edge case.

I’ve now had two Coldcard MK4 units show the same microSD failure pattern.

What happens:
MK4 works normally at first.

PSBT signing via microSD works for several transactions.

Then, suddenly, the MK4 can’t find PSBT files on the card.

After that, the problem gets worse:

The MK4 fails the microSD self-test

It can’t format cards

Even microSD cards that previously worked stop working on that device

This happened on my original MK4 and again on a replacement MK4.

Cards tested:
Multiple brand-new and known-good microSD cards

8 GB and 32 GB

FAT32, MBR

Nothing exotic

Linux workflow (in case it matters):
Linux laptop with built-in SD card slot

microSD → SD adapter → laptop

Save PSBT file to the microSD drive

Right-click → Unmount

Wait for popup: “Filesystem has been disconnected”

Remove SD adapter, take out microSD

Insert microSD into MK4

No unsafe removal, no write caching left active.

Why this seems odd:

Cards work initially, then stop

Failure is progressive

Same behavior across two MK4 units

Once triggered, there’s no obvious recovery path

This doesn’t feel like a simple “picky card” issue, because the cards do work at first.

Post 3:
I’m setting up a brand-new MK4 and noticed a menu option under Root → Advanced called “Perform Selftest.” When I select it, the device first asks “All on?” and then “All off?”, which seems like a screen test. After that, it displays an animation of an NFC device, and I’m not sure what to do next.

Has anyone here actually used this self-test? How does the device indicate whether the test passes or fails?

There are many YouTube videos about setting up the MK4, yet not a single one mentions this feature. That seems odd for a device aimed at security-conscious users.

The only explanation I’ve found from Coinkite is this: “Perform Selftest: Start the factory self-test which clears the settings, but not the seed. MicroSD card required.”

You know, people would be more likely to accept you for admitting and owning up to your mistake, but instead, you're trying to prove us something that isn't true, do you take us for idiots?

I understand why you might see it that way really, but that assumption isn’t accurate at all. There is absolutely no attempt here to mislead anyone. I decided to dumb down my writing so my posts wouldn’t keep getting reported. When I first joined this platform, I wrote in a more detailed and expressive way. My account being new does not mean I’m new to the English language or inexperienced in writing. You can scan this message right now and tell me what you find. I’m defending myself because I know I wrote those words myself, not with the help of AI.

I was advised by the user who introduced me to this platform to just let it go. I know I could create another account, but I’m here simply trying to defend myself. Having to dumb down my words so they don’t get reported feels really low for me, and I just want that unfair stigma removed. Just because I’ve drawn on my experience to write doesn’t mean I rely on AI for everything. I’ve also learned to simplify my punctuation and wording, but I’m truly asking you please consider giving me another chance.

100% AI content found according to Copyleaks. GPTZero.me has it lower at 52% AI and 2% mixed, but it still seems very apparent that you used AI. There is a clear difference in how you wrote this post and how you wrote your previous reply in this thread.

Your earlier post has punctuation mistakes and uses bad English. Nobody would go through such effort to make their posts much less understandable. It’s obvious you are doing the opposite of what you are claiming by enhancing your bad writing with the assistance of AI.

Are you serious right now? Check my posts, or any other legit member's posts and compare them to yours, put them through an AI scanner and you'll get one or two false positives at most, out of 100 posts. You're here ridiculing yourself, not defending it, as this post is nowhere close your previous posts in terms of punctuation, grammar and vocabulary, you're doing the opposite right here and screwing yourself in the process. No one has to dumb down their posts, you're using AI to enhance and re-write (or write) your posts, you wouldn't be in this position in the first place, you put yourself there.
