We already got a couple of changes in 2023, more than we had the last five years on the forum, so don't want to sound to greedy.

But top of my list will be the Newbie Welcome Message. It has been too many years in the works and should help get rid of all the newbie introduction posts asking for guidance as well as actually pointing new members in the direction they should go.

If the changes are helping to grow the forum ( which in most cases are) , it does not hamper to be greedy.

There has been a whole lot of changes this year.however I would love to see less plagiarism, less use of alts and most especially I would love there to be less posts about conjestions in the mempool. It may seem like so much to ask but I wish it was possible so Bitcoiners here would not have to go through the stress of battling ways to tackle the current high fee problem anytime they wish to make transaction. Like come to think of it part of Satoshi's idea was to make a suitable and easy peer-to-peer currency.But lately Bitcoin has become more of an investment than a P2P currency.

If there is actually a new change on this forum I believe every one would like and appreciate come 2024, it is that theymos reverses his statement on the mixer ban which is scheduled to take effect as from January 1st, 2024, a news from theymos on the 1st of January announcing that the mixer ban news was all a joke  , would raise a sound of joy all through this forum and liberate alot of users again.

Away from the above, as a Nigerian myself, we have alot of pending proposals which are yet to be either approved or rejected, come 2024, I would like theymos to approve our NAIJA local board sub-board creation request, and as well, grant approval to some, or all the merit source application from some of our reputable local board users.

I would like to see this one when I wake up on the next year.

however I would love to see less plagiarism, less use of alts and most especially I would love there to be less posts about conjestions in the mempool.

Plagiarism, usage of multiple accounts, discuss about a particular topic are committed by user. It's something like very very unlikely to happen except the forum turns strict about their rules.

[Lucius]

It would be nice to finally get a new forum considering that we have been waiting for it for a long time. Although if that happens one day, I have to admit that I will miss the old forum.

As for the mixers, I think it's a finished story and the chances of the admin withdrawing their decision are less than 1%.

Bitcoin mixers should be allowed back.

New forum software. Although I am not expecting it but it would be good if we have new forum software.

But top of my list will be the Newbie Welcome Message. It has been too many years in the works and should help get rid of all the newbie introduction posts asking for guidance as well as actually pointing new members in the direction they should go.

I do not know where I have seen it before, but it is what is welcome on this forum. I do not think that can be done.

The moderators are doing everything to ban plagiarists. About mempool congestion, it is normal because as it started, people transactions are stuck and they will ask about how to solve the stuck transaction. About congestion mempool, this is not related to this forum but to bitcoin itself.

This question has been asked literally every single year for almost a decade now and my answer would still be better mobile UX. The EpochTalk forum software has been "in development" since forever now though so I don't think anyone should expect a release any time soon.

Come on man it's obvious that what I actually wish is for the Mempool to be less conjested. Because obviously, if the Mempool becomes less conjested people will no long create topic complaining about high fees or looking for solutions to fix the situations of their stuck transactions.
As for the mixer ban it would definitely be a thing of joy if it was removed. However with the current situation of things, sadly I don't think it would happen.

Apart from being a Nigerian and wishing for more merit source, I wouldn't ask for any change in the forum yet because it might cause some bad effect which I don't know but certainly when there is so much change it could probably shift the forum from what it use to be to another whole new thing.

If only spamming, plagiarism, AI contents etc could be reduced then it should be in my agenda for next year.

I love the ideal of a mobile software and lately I have been trying to design a preview of the mobile Bitcointalk forum gathering ideals from SMF updated forums. I will certainly finish it up and upload here some day

The main change I wanted to see in the forum was 2FA, and it was already added a few days ago. Maybe adding this earlier would have saved some members accounts from bruteforce and phishing but thanks for adding up this. But what I want now is to bring back the mixer services, although I respect the forum's decision, I would be happy to restart these services keeping the safety of the forum first.
Moreover, I want to see the local thread of Bangladesh and Pakistan in the local board section in 2024. And want to see the merit source for them.

[dzungmobile]

Alot of new changes already took place in 2023, some which members disliked like Mixers will no longer be allowed after Jan  and some which we all appreciated like the adding of 2FAto the system. All these changes had positive and negative influence on the forum.

2FA is a most wanted feature in Bitcointalk and it was asked many times over many years, by forum community members so this development (by PowerGlove) and deployment (by theymos) should be given a massive round of applause.

About mixer ban, will it give negative impacts on the forum and its members?

I totally disagree, no negative impacts from it, I see it brings positive impacts for the forum.

For me, I would appreciate if mixers were still allows in 2024 and maybe some kind of rules would be placed to guide them all instead of totally removing them.

I wish they will not come back here until something change in a positive way for mixers in regulation.

I'd like to see less useless topics, if you catch my drift.

LOL.
Then you have to write a script that will loop into users post, examine the quality of the post before it will be delivered to the forum. Maybe, there will be some word filters and if a post doesn't carry those words, it will mean that the post is more useless and may never be auto approved. If this works,  the place of the freedom you champion will be lost.
The forum is more complete and fun when there is a mixture of useful and useless posts.

There will definitely be some new changes in the forum in 2024 as the admin has already hinted, I can't wait to see how it looks then. But still, I think the forum software is so outdated if an upgrade is done to compete with the latest technology, it will be fine. But that is by the way.

What I am longing for is the selection of new merits sources and the delisting of some others that do not deserve it. This is long overdue as there are some boards that deserve merit sources, even some sections of the forum need active members who merit quality posts there. This, I believe will happen in 2024, I hope I am not disappointed though.

It turns out that many want the mixer to be allowed again, but the chance of that will be 0%. 

The best change is that 2FA has been added to bitcointalk, so what changes will happen in 2024? Let themmos announce again. 

So far it's pretty much the forum exactly as it is now.

[Gladitorcomeback]

First of all I wish for a separate local board for Pakistan and Bangladesh. We are waiting for more than 5 years and I believe that 2024 will bring a joy on our every local member face with this change.

-If some new emojis are added it will be interesting. we can add from keyboard but official emojis have own fun

- Thinking of motion support in the signature just like GIF

If anything other comes in my mind, I will update here

[Stalker22]

I got some ideas for changes I wanna see happen on Bitcointalk.  First off, theres way too much spam and scams all over the place there and  it is super annoying trying to find real info or talk to people when theres all these fake bots and whatnot interfering.  We gotta get some better filters to block that junk. 

Also, searching for stuff here pretty much sucks.  The search engine we got now barely works half the time.  Upgrade to something more powerful thatll index everything people post.  That wouldd help big time when trying to find old threads about stuff.

Oh and it should be easier to use on phones and tablets! The site looks janky on mobile.  I end up pinchin and zooming like crazy trying to click buttons and links.  Optimize it to work good on smaller screens. 

They could also step up the community features.  Let us like or share good posts we find.  Get people more engaged.  Maybe even add some blockchain voting and identity checks.  Thatll secure things and give more control to real users.

Anyway those changes would really improve Bitcointalk in my opinion.  Make it less shady and annoying to use.

I like the forum the way it is and I believe the forum doesn't need any changes at all. If any change that's necessary for the betterment of the forum then that's removing of all those board that aren't active anymore as more board without any activity are some extra burden on the forum's space. If that somehow takes place then I would want a few good board to be created which have been requested by the members many times.
