Users who spread false/fake/unhelpful information on technical board

You can go ahead and delete my post or reply

I'm not moderator or admin, so i never delete any of your post.

but not including it in my trust, for goodness sake, I mean that is not what the trust system was made for, or am I wrong?

It's up to debate and i'm aware some people disagree with how i use trust system. Here's my past reply to other member who asked similar question.

The thread is too long to ask for info, but has there been a final consensus here on how to treat such accounts?

No. But moderators on technical board have left few neutral or negative feedback to such account. And they sometimes they don't even bother add reference link.

Is it okay to leave them at least a neutral tag as a warning that they are forum-rank farmers? I believe that the negative tag is too much.

Maybe it's okay when moderators also do that. IMO negative tag is okay if those account also share malware, fake software or other action which makes user could lose their Bitcoin easily.

I humbly ask that you remove the comment in my trust cause I try my best to keep to the rules and not take up any negative feedback or trust, someone else was slandering my post saying I'm spreading misinformation and account farming which I just ignored cause the person is unreasonable, and made a comment in my trust too, and this, I am not really comfortable, if I'm at fault and maybe It deserves being mentioned in my trust, I'll just move on, but I don't think this does, please I request that you remove the comment, thank you

See what i stated on this thread.

If you received a tag/feedback me, i will consider removing it after 1 year since i created the report or you can prove information you stated are correct.

List of post:

Upgraded to Bitcoin Core 30+ the other day. Did anyone else notice the white background behind the overview screen? Also, the blue line through the bottom where it tells how many hours behind the network is while it's updating is new. The buttons for overview, send, receive and transaction history are greyed out until you hover over them. Is this normal?

Yea that is totally normal core 30 got a UI glow up lol they moved stuff under the hood and the app picked up that cleaner white background the blue sync bar and those buttons that only light up when you hover. nothing is broken it is just the new look doing its thing. If everything works after sync you are absolutely fine

Another user explain what's wrong with post on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5572683.msg66384473#msg66384473.

bitcoin being decentralized dont mean you can not share control. P2SH multisig is just a smart way to set rules so multiple keys approve spending. which is great for businesses, escrow or extra security instead of trusting one device. SegWit aint a wallet type but a transaction upgrade so yea it supports multisig while making fees cheaper and transactions cleaner. Non standard transactions aint illegal nodes might refuse to relay them but if a miner accepts a valid one it still lands in a block. A public key is your cryptographic identity while ScriptPubKey is basically the lock script that says how coins can be spent not the key itself. And you can not pull a public key back from an address because hashing is oneway math. it is  designed to go forward only keeping your funds safe not because nobody built the right software.

1. Many points already estate by other member.
2. While people use term SegWit for so many things, SegWit wallet is stukk valid term since it usually refer to wallet that support creating wallet with SegWit address.

Although I'll say I a kinda appreciate that the reason for my post deletion and pointing out my flaws was brought to my notice by leaving a comment in my trust, at least it made me pick up on my lapses and to make the appropriate corrections moving forward, with that being said, I have left a neutral comment on your profile, thanks again.

You're one of many accounts that recently hit the techboards with shitposts. Coincidentally (lol), they're almost exclusively from the same local board. You're on my Ignore list already, and I have a Good report against your posts. There is no "make appropriate corrections", the whole issue is lost on account farmers like yourself. You're only posting on the tech boards for post quota and Merit.

I have left a neutral comment on your profile

Your feedback is as pointless as your posts.

I'll add this for my tag for "Shitposting on the tech boards":

you need to know for sure if the phon eis infected or not. yea the qr code scanning is much safer but if the phone is defo infected i dont think it would make much of a difference. if the phone isnt then the qr way is the best option for you

I am not fully aware of how to submit reports here. I am also not very knowledgeable about technical matters. But this person is going to the technical board and posting one after another randomly. I am just leaving two posts here. I want to know your opinion about it.He basically uses AI to create posts. Now my question is, if he is technically savvy, then why is he using AI? Isn't that confusing?

Your confusion is understandable, but there are a few important points to clear up.
First, myNode itself is not a public mining pool. It is primarily a personal Bitcoin full node with a privacy-focused ecosystem. Expecting Umbrel-style “easy pool support” can be misleading, because myNode is designed more for sovereignty than convenience.
Second, Datum is not a public pool either. Datum is a Stratum V2–based template server. When you use Datum, you are essentially generating your own block templates from your node and submitting work through a pool. So getting a share every 10–15 minutes is completely normal and mostly dependent on your hashrate, not a software problem.
Also keep in mind that Datum is still in beta and is not intended for solo mining or guaranteed payouts. It’s mainly for experimentation with Stratum V2, block template control, and future-oriented mining setups. If your goal is steady rewards, using established pools like ckpool or Braiins Pool makes much more sense.
Regarding Linux: while you don’t need to be an expert, myNode + Datum is not a beginner plug-and-play setup. Offering screen-sharing access to strangers is risky. It’s safer to rely on the official Datum GitHub documentation and existing myNode forum threads.
In short:
myNode ≠ public mining pool
Datum ≠ public pool, it’s a template server
Slow shares = normal for low/moderate hashrate
Traditional pools are better for consistent payouts
Hope this helps clarify things.

Use of P2SH multisignature wallets
Decentralization and anonymity do not mean single ownership only. P2SH multisig is mainly used where shared control is required, such as exchanges, escrow services, corporate treasuries, joint family funds, or even personal security (e.g. 2-of-3 where one key is kept as backup). P2SH actually improves privacy because the redeem script is not revealed until spending, so observers cannot know it is multisig beforehand.
SegWit and multisignature
SegWit is not a wallet type; it is a transaction format upgrade. SegWit fully supports multisignature. In fact, native SegWit multisig (P2WSH) and nested SegWit multisig (P2SH-P2WSH) are more efficient than legacy multisig because signatures are moved to the witness, reducing transaction size and fees and fixing transaction malleability.
Non-standard transactions
“Standard” rules are policy rules, not consensus rules. Miners and nodes can choose to relay or reject non-standard transactions to protect the network from spam. However, if a miner manually includes a valid (consensus-correct) but non-standard transaction in a block, the network will still accept it. So non-standard ≠ invalid.
ScriptPubKey vs Public Key
They are different. A Public Key is just cryptographic data. ScriptPubKey is a locking script that defines the conditions required to spend an output. It usually contains a hash of a public key (P2PKH) or a script hash (P2SH), not the public key itself. Think of ScriptPubKey as “the rule”, not the key.
Why public key cannot be derived from address
Bitcoin addresses are created using one-way hash functions (SHA-256 + RIPEMD-160). Hashing is intentionally irreversible. Even if you hash the same public key many times, the process from public key → address loses information. This is not a missing program problem; it is a fundamental property of cryptographic hash functions designed for security.

Other post

Lightning Network and Liquid Network are both part of the Bitcoin ecosystem, but they are not the same thing.
Lightning Network is a Layer-2 payment protocol on Bitcoin. It uses real BTC, and all balances are ultimately settled on the Bitcoin mainchain. No new asset is created; it simply enables faster and cheaper transactions while keeping Bitcoin’s trust-minimized nature.
Liquid Network, on the other hand, is a federated sidechain. BTC is locked on the mainchain and L-BTC is issued 1:1 in return. Although L-BTC is fully backed by BTC, it is not native BTC. The peg-in and peg-out process is controlled by a federation, which introduces a different trust model compared to Lightning.
Because of this, many Bitcoiners don’t consider Liquid an altcoin, but they also don’t treat L-BTC as the same as on-chain BTC. It’s closer to a Bitcoin-backed representation rather than Bitcoin itself.

There's no specific/required way to make a report here, so what you did is fine. I believe he's not technical savvy and just another spammer who use AI/chatbot. Anyway, i already reported all of his posts again and let's hope moderator decide to permaban/nuke him.

@ABCbits, I have gone through the complaints against my account. In as much as I appreciate you for always trying to maintain sanity on the platform, I feel the tagging and judgement was over flogged.

1. You said my comment has been talked about earlier by other users: How am I supposed to know all that has been talked by different users in a board of thousands of users?
2. You said the link I dropped isn't opening: It's no doubt that sometimes, when we try to provide a link, we miss a number, alphabet or sign that is vital and may render it unable to open. Calling me to order would have sufficed but you chose to overflog the issue. That's highly unfair.
3. You also said my analogy isn't strong, and as such my post is unhelpful: Ahhh ABCbit, if you feel so, correction would have been enough. Moreover, the platform is also a place of learning. No one knows it all, so when you notice someone's argument or position is not strong enough, I think it's unfair to place a tag on the person.

Regardless, I really appreciate your efforts, but your judgments against me and others are mostly unfair. Correction would have been enough. Was not expecting such from you, especially as one whose knowledge I admire so much on the technical board.

[ABCbits]

1. You said my comment has been talked about earlier by other users: How am I supposed to know all that has been talked by different users in a board of thousands of users?

I refer to points/things that have been talked in same thread, not in same board.

2. You said the link I dropped isn't opening: It's no doubt that sometimes, when we try to provide a link, we miss a number, alphabet or sign that is vital and may render it unable to open. Calling me to order would have sufficed but you chose to overflog the issue. That's highly unfair.
3. You also said my analogy isn't strong, and as such my post is unhelpful: Ahhh ABCbit, if you feel so, correction would have been enough. Moreover, the platform is also a place of learning. No one knows it all, so when you notice someone's argument or position is not strong enough, I think it's unfair to place a tag on the person.

You're lying again. I already called you out several times.

--snip--
Your analogy is a poor one, because computer can guess/brute-force much faster than human. BTCRecover have speed over 100 thousand per second using GPU released 6 years ago[1]. BIP39 use 2048 rounds[2] while average brainwallet only use 1 round, but human usually can't avoid using guessable passphrase[3].

[1] https://docs.btcrecover.org/en/latest/GPU_Acceleration/#performance-notes
[2] https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki#from-mnemonic-to-seed
[3] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4768828.0

The irony is that, your analogy is wrong. Having a strong, long and confidential passphrase makes it difficult to brutforce and arrive at expected result. Don't get me wrong, nothing is 100% perfect. The main point is that, it is not easy as you think.

https://api.cms.eset.com/au/cyber-resilience-why-cyber-risk-audit-makes-you-stronger

1. Stop lying. My reply that you quoted doesn't contain any analogy.
2. Link you shared is invalid with message "404 Not Found". Why are you trying to share link to certain API?
3. Your statement doesn't change the reduced security.

--snip--
Do you realize the security would be reduced if someone follow your advice? Previously attacker need to guess both BIP39 words and passphrase, but afterwards the attack only need to guess new passphrase.

[LoyceV]

your judgments against me and others are mostly unfair. Correction would have been enough.

There's your problem. One account giving incorrect information on the tech board can be corrected, but many accounts create a pattern. And again:

from the same local board.

Stop spamming the tech boards for Merit!

When I visit the tech boards now, I see rows of posts made by shitposters who are already on my Ignore list. The tech boards used to be the best boards on this forum, free from spam, but thanks to chatbots and Merit, it's now getting spammed. In this case, I'd say the Merit system is counter productive.

[Eze BTC]

@ABCbits, you can say I am lying when I know what I am saying. The link was not deliberate. Try pasting a link and miss a number or figure or maybe mistakenly add a number to it if you wouldn't get same result. Nobody is above mistake and that's the only time I made such error.

About you saying you've corrected me several times, we were having a friendly conversation and you politely pointed it out like it wasn't that serious. How's that a "tagable" issue? You don't expect me to be right all the time. We are humans who can be wrong in analogy. You obviously overflogged the matter if we're both being honest. I was only trying to share my knowledge.

You had initially brought my account for scrutiny for just being on the tech board. You had no other reason other than just being on the tech board because you felt I shouldn't be there. Honestly, it's looking like there's a personal dislike and it's very unfair and painful, especially coming from you. It's not nice!

@LoyceV, I really don't have a problem with what ABCbit is doing, I support sanity in the tech board. My point is that it seems like he just personally don't want anyone to come to the board except the person finds favour in him to do so. I refuse to believe so however, because I have had friendly conversations with him and he's actually been one of my favorite on the board. If you look at his reason for tagging me and few others, you'd see he overflogged the issue, as if he wants to deliberately drive everyone out of the tech board, even people with genuine intentions. It's really not fair and I must voice it out without bias.

At this point, i can't help but agree with you. Guess i'll have to be more careful with sending merit there.

As for those apps claiming to be mining apps they are all scam, so avoid them and  avoid being scam. If possible you can join a mining pool if you really want to be a miner.

That right. Usually, new users will search and read reviews from other users who have downloaded the app. Some are honest, and most of the users are from their team, with good reviews. In reality, our internet quota is drained, ads are incessant, and the battery is prone to rapid drain. So, it's better for OP to forget about it and look for other alternatives, like Staking coin, which is clearly a well-known exchange, because your goal is to make a profit.

1. There's no correlation between staking coin and well-known exchange.
2. Mining doesn't use lots of data (unless you self-host your mining pool), so mentioning internet quota doesn't make sense.

what is the best mining strategy?

i wanna start

urm depends what you are mining tbh but the strategy is scout first, mine smart and also not to hard. hit high value spots, upgrade gear early and don’t waste time on junk nodes. Stack efficiency and you will snowball fast.

1. This post is unhelpful, because it's not specific at all.
2. Mining typically don't require Bitcoin node, unless you plan to run self-hosted mining pool. So mentioning node isn't needed here.

I want to address comments left in a different thread by someone tagged in this thread, and explain why I'm not removing my feedback.

I don't plan on reasoning with nutildah, because if someone starts accusing me without any proof, saying I'm account farming, which I initially don't know what that is until I asked around, I won't go to your DM or whatever to talk about it, what will I say, cause the moment someone with no reasonable proof attacks u without any form of provocation, I don't think logic will work on them, but whatever.

I know this is an account farmer because of their aggressive attempts to get merit starting Day 1, which continued up until they were exposed for posting nonsense in Dev & Tech Discussion. They've also been using AI to write their posts since Day 1.

Hi, I just saw this news about South Korea, their government have imposed sanctions on 15 North Koreans and one organization for their involvement in cryptocurrency and cyber-theft activities aimed at financing North Korea’s nuclear program. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the sanctions on December 26, targeting agents involved in obtaining foreign currency for North Korea’s Munitions Industry Department and nuclear missile programs. The Lazarus Group, among other North Korean hackers, has been particularly involved in large-scale computer theft in the Web3 space. Governments are stepping up efforts to combat these hackers, who are expected to target more than 50% of the world’s virtual currencies by 2024. The sanctions are aimed at combating money laundering and financing North Korea’s nuclear program. North Korean hackers are responsible for a significant portion of the $2.3 billion in cryptocurrency stolen in 2024, indicating an increase in sophisticated cyberattacks. The international community is concerned about the escalating cyber threats from North Korean hackers, prompting increased vigilance and cooperative action to protect against future cybercrime.
I think Government involvement and measures like this will foster trust in the crypto world

There shouldn't be room here for accounts that don't really contribute anything worth reading and solely exist to squeeze merits from the usual sources... I would estimate around 75% of all active accounts fall into the former. But to be a shitposter and pushy about merits, that's too much, just fuck off already.

This was from this thread and my tag reference link; I am in agreement with it and it fairly explains the reason for my tag:

This was from this thread and my tag reference link; I am in agreement with it and it fairly explains the reason for my tag:

I remember this post, this was like my first post ever, and I saw this on a site(I can't remember exactly), back then, I barely know about the rules and if I had known, I would have referenced where I got the news from, I am completely wrong, u can say ignorance is not an excuse, but other than this, can you point out any other AI post, or copy paste post I have made, you saw the post of a newbie who haven't familiarized with the forum and concluded that I am an account farmer.

saying I'm looking for merit is true, I want to increase my rank and grow in the forum, it feels good and there are other incentives.

Saying I'm a shit poster is your own subjective reasoning, I won't argue with that, but if you can point out my flaws so I can improve on them I'll appreciate it much more.

But saying I'm account farming is a false accusation, I can proudly say u are wrong, in that

While starting in the forum, these are some rookie mistakes I made when I started, someone even tried explaining how to quote, but I can't remember the post, if not I would have sent the link.




I initially was having a hard time in quoting that I made consecutive posts which was later merged, after the correction, I learned how to quote properly, it was still around the same time I made that terrible post which you're holding on to, so my question is, are you gonna blame me now, for being a rookie and a newbie then.

You're one of many accounts that recently hit the techboards with shitposts. Coincidentally (lol), they're almost exclusively from the same local board.

Concerning this, as I said before, yes I did a mistake, no doubt, I didn't do my due diligence and proper research, and honestly, I didn't know repeating what others have already said despite it being uniquely your experience is constituted as spamming, but now I know better, but if you say I am account farming because of these, it doesn't make sense to me, cause I AM NOT ACCOUNT FARMING

You can say I am a shit poster (cool I'm still growing, someday I'll be as good as you), you can say I copied a post and pasted at some point, I can't remember if it's AI honestly, (I was a rookie back then just starting), but I strongly disagree with you on being an account farmer.

I don't know what else to say other than, I have learned my lesson, and moving forward I'll do better, but again I'm not an account farmer

You were sucking up to JJG for merits by your 5th post, you knew exactly what you were doing because you've done this before, several times. GTFOH.

Now, i know, yeah I'm a newbie, but in here, gaining merits is so difficult

How do you actually know that getting merit here is difficult? I mean, you only registered on bitcointalk yesterday and in the meantime you wrote 5 posts, including this one where you complain how hard it is to get merit.

What did you expect, to get showered by merit right from the start? Smh...

He really did expect it.

I remember this post, this was like my first post ever, and I saw this on a site(I can't remember exactly), back then, I barely know about the rules and if I had known, I would have referenced where I got the news from

What?? Its AI-written material that you purposefully adjusted to make look less AI. Obviously you knew it was wrong or you wouldn't have altered the text out of fear of getting caught.

You said I altered the thing I copied and pasted, I altered nothing from it, I said Hi, I just saw a news about SK blah blah blah there is nothing edited there, after that first intro, I pasted the information I got, what edit are you talking about please, point it out.

I don't know what else to say other than, I have learned my lesson, and moving forward I'll do better, but again I'm not an account farmer

You were sucking up to JJG for merits by your 5th post, you knew exactly what you were doing because you've done this before, several times. GTFOH.

As I said before, I ain't denying I wanted merits, I remember when I made a post that got up to 4 or 6 pages, I was so happy, I told my friend that introduced me to the forum about it, I felt I have made a very good post, but no merit, he told me, "It happens sometimes" that's when he told me about merit sources, that if I engage with them I can get a merit or 2, he then told me about JJG, and I said ok lemme see, I did and it worked, I was very happy to get my first merit, it felt like now I've grown a little in the forum.

Now, i know, yeah I'm a newbie, but in here, gaining merits is so difficult

How do you actually know that getting merit here is difficult? I mean, you only registered on bitcointalk yesterday and in the meantime you wrote 5 posts, including this one where you complain how hard it is to get merit.

What did you expect, to get showered by merit right from the start? Smh...

This is from what I've heard from my friend after the brief introduction to the forum, after some solid advice I got there, I changed my mindset and genuinely start engaging in the forum, then I saw the node challenge which I did and it helped me boost my rank in the forum.

There was a post that felt to me like I've made a good post, because I had a lot of people engaging in it, I used it to go apply for merit at loyceV merit gifting thread, and I was told it was a shit post, damn, that hits hard, It was gut wrenching honestly, but I said, I'll improve and do better.

If you look closely in my profile, you will see that I try to improve everytime, I wasn't good from the start, I won't say I'm there yet, but I'm better compared to when I started, when I saw the AI guideline made by Theymos, I thought well I won't fall victim to this because I don't use AI, not knowing my past is there to hunt me lol.

that's when he told me about merit sources, that if I engage with them I can get a merit or 2, he then told me about JJG, and I said ok lemme see, I did and it worked, I was very happy to get my first merit, it felt like now I've grown a little in the forum.

First, its pretty clear JJG shouldn't be a merit source any more. All you have to do is kiss his ass and you get a merit?
Second, this does sound like a plausible story. Why couldn't it happen, and do I have proof it didn't. No.
Third, if this is truly your first attempt, you have a real talent for manipulation, pretending that you're buying Bitcoin to get merits and so forth.

I thought well I won't fall victim to this because I don't use AI, not knowing my past is there to hunt me lol.

Oh brother. Not really a good excuse. I don't know what to say. Tell you what: contact me again in 2 months and if your posts have improved then I will remove my tag. I still think its lame to manipulate people into giving you merits. That shouldn't be the basis of your personality.

Honestly, I was a newbie, I won't say manipulate, that's a strong word, I mean, if you engage with someone, and they think your engagement is merit worthy, it's that such a bad thing, I really don't know.

If you say I'm manipulating him for merit, then I'm also manipulating the entire forum for merit cause most times I create posts for that purpose, and sometimes I'm lucky enough to receive some, so not manipulation to me, although I stand to be corrected.

I honestly think JJG is a great guy, the little I've engaged with him, his cordial, and I've learned a lot from him, giving out merit to people is also a way of encouraging the community.
And I do buy Bitcoin, I've been in the web3 space before joining BTT.

Thanks for being logical about this, btw, how should I contact you, is it by PM, neutral comment, or this post?

Edit: I want to make a clarification here, I said "most times I Create for that purpose": what I mean is, when I create posts/threads and not replies, I'm hoping it will be a successful thread, and what I see as successful thread is when they have good engagement, and merits.

There was a post that felt to me like I've made a good post, because I had a lot of people engaging in it

People spam the Gambling board to earn from their signature. That's not "engaging".

I used it to go apply for merit at loyceV merit gifting thread, and I was told it was a shit post, damn, that hits hard, It was gut wrenching honestly, but I said, I'll improve and do better.

I don't have a "Merit gifting thread". You mean Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source, and it's not for "gifts".
I think you're referring to your second post in my thread:

Trading vs gambling
Description: discussion on the difference between trading and gambling
Category: Discussion on different types of investment
Section: Gambling discussion

I've deleted your post and reported your topic. Welcome to my Ignore list. Please never post in my topic again.

You should be ashamed of yourself instead of claiming this is a good post:

I was discussing with my friend some time ago, he said something about forex trading, he said there is no difference between forex trading and gambling, they both, he said, his father's friend is a professional gambler, before predicting games, he opens different screens, analyzing games, having charts showing the performance of teams and players, like he takes his time and his predictions are often very correct (not 100% though), these are his points.

The fact that you think that's a quality posts shows you really don't get it. Your topic was locked by a Mod after I reported it.

Yeah....that post, I honestly don't get it, it's an open thread to make good discussions on, and I'm asking a question to see the opinions of others on what they think on the subject matter, I'm not saying it's a great post, but it isn't a bad post, and I don't even know why it was locked, I'll like to use this chance to understand so I can make quality posts going forward.
I hope you take this in good faith and not just dismiss me but rather educate me, as an upcoming community member, thank you.

It was probably locked so that the spamming stops. The topic you made right there has been made countless times in the gambling and trading discussion boards. It's like heading over to the Bitcoin discussion board and post "Who is satoshi nakamoto?" Such posts/questions are just exhausted and could even get deleted!

Try to be original, read more than you can post and also stop posting for the sake of earning merits. It will make you end up regagitating what has been posted before over and over again.

[LoyceV]

it isn't a bad post, and I don't even know why it was locked, I'll like to use this chance to understand so I can make quality posts going forward.

It was a bad post. If you can't figure this out on your own, you'll never write quality posts.

I hope you take this in good faith and not just dismiss me but rather educate me

This isn't kindergarten. If you're here to learn to write posts instead of to learn about Bitcoin, you came to the wrong place.

Read more, post less.
