A "new member" that named themselves "officialmoderator". This is definitely legit... ... not


Mind telling us which accusation(s) in particular you think are false?


If you're truly interested in learning how the forum works - as your particular issues concern the trust system - I recommend reading the first post in LoyceV's guide to the trust system and theymos' explanation of trust flags. It will help explain to you the difference between default trust feedback and non-DT feedback, as well as the difference between Active and Inactive flags.

I agree, and I think it should be better implemented...
I find line breaks at the beginning and end of posts useless. I've seen users abusing this "feature" to reserve more space in posts, or inserting double lines between paragraphs unnecessarily. This just makes me spend even more time scrolling with my mouse

I think this "bug" should be improved to eliminate all white space at the beginning and end of posts, as well as double spaces in the middle of paragraphs.

Hmmm this might just be something to be looked into. I'm not a hundred percent sure if sending an amount higher that that will lift the ban because I tried broadcasting a transaction to pay the exact amount for the evil units in quotes and the wallet only recognises it as a dust attack.


Can you confirm if it's been whitelisted already? I'm mentioning LoyceV here hopefully he sees this I think he's part of those with the ability to whitelist users here.

This is already the case. I found some caching issues which will be fixed really soon.

Maybe this is related to system fonts?

Do you have "Segoe UI" instaled over there?

It is definitely feasible, and I see no good reason why nobody has implemented at least a draft of this in Bitcoin Core yet.

I guess the starting block height would have to be chosen wisely, but I'd say maybe 900,000 or some arbitrary recent number is a good start.

Hmm. Not sure. I swear I saw that post on the live forum thread not too long ago. Wtf?

Wayback has it last snapped 10 months after he made it: https://web.archive.org/web/20241213184722/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5474002.msg63634511#msg63634511

Vod might know more since he's been the main one documenting this stuff for the longest.

If I understand correctly, it means that it's either you continue what you have started or start over again. In my opinion, I think you want to run bitcoin node with pruning so, the answer you are looking for is to start over again where you have to set it up again but if you do have the storage needed then you can just continue as it is although it will download all old data until now which as I have explained it will use a lot of storage. As of now and according to what I found is that the full bitcoin node requires 700+GB up to 800+GB so, it's recommended to have 1TB or 2 terabytes of storage space. For pruned bitcoin node is that it's around 10GB or less but it's better if you have 1TB storage space.

Thanks

LoyceV , Can you create a list of all banned users for all time?

Is it deleted recently or long time ago? You could use file recovery software to recover that .txt file, although don't expect anything it it happened long time ago.


In theory, if the website have known vulnerability when generating the password and you know it, it could be used to reduce the search space. But only expert who may find such vulnerability, even if it's exist in first place.


Have you seen his trust feedback page?

Forgot to add all of the theymos slander too:

• https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5268455.msg54990741#msg54990741 - ~this DT circlejerk and spamfest that theymos is for some reason letting outweigh any actual contributions to Bitcoin~
• https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5277084.msg55246159#msg55246159 - Unfortunately, so long as theymos isn't willing to put a stop to this, Vod will continue trolling and littering this forum with misinformation and childishness.
• https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5474002.msg63634511#msg63634511 - I just know theymos is not a man of his word and I don’t really respect that. He hasn’t stood up to call LoyceV a liar for what he’s said about me stealing BTC from the treasury. He didn’t live up to his threat to blackball the mentally ill guy from DT for his trust abuse.
• https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5481352.msg63509390#msg63509390 - The problem with theymos being able to moderate the DT system is that he doesn’t. I’ve seen him make empty threats to people and when they spit in his face he just takes it and moves on. When the only action is empty threats that never get followed up on, he’s basically a useless observer of the system when it comes down to it.

These are just ordinary numbers, there are no symbols or letters there. Moreover, somewhere on the forum I read that people used GPUs to crack private keys that consist of numbers and letters. How did they manage to do that? I think that if they were capable of that, then why is an ordinary 48-digit numeric code considered difficult and unrealistic? Considering that Google has already invented the Willow chip, does solving it remain realistic in the next five to twenty years?

I think i understand the situation here, OP restarting the node doesn't just mean deleting and reinstalling a new, if you don't you are likely to resume from the previous setup. However what I recommend is tracing the files to their storage location on your computer and delete all EXE files as regards the node, that way when you delete and reinstall the node again it would start from the beginning of the setup process. Hope this helped.

I'm working on making BitList more no-javascript friendly (at least the directory part).

You can use filters, change themes, toggle the list/grid view mode, see the service details and reviews, all without javascript.

I also improved the sidebar on smaller screens and mobile.

TODO no-js: Create an account, login, post reviews, verify domains, verify pgp.

I can't reproduce this.

GIF:


That was a oversight on my part. I would need to reindex the entire thing removing the quote headers.

And I believe my tokenizer strips the % so you can't even do the typical "38%". That's another thing I would change.

I will probably reindex everything some time to fix this and some other issues.

It's still up to the manager.
It's the same as when a reputable manager would make a prediction post in the Games & Round section, only because, for example, they come from a member with a lot of earned merit, even if it was LoyceV, the most recognizable.
It's simple, it's up to the managers to evaluate the quality and meaningfulness of the position, the basis for rejecting it or rewarding it with a payment. If the amount of earned merit is sufficient, then by now some of the automatic post-counting tools would have certainly come into play.

Sorry I don’t get what the “yes” implies, does it mean I should start over again?

Yes, pretty boring but what I am seeing lately is what LoyceV highlights here:


Then, they can join signature campaigns and post without even trying to understand what is actually being discussed.

I've also visited the site and I've noticed that as well. When you're on 100% zoom on Tor website-names somehow change their position a little on mid and right rows, however when I reduce the zoom of the site to 90% and 110% then those happened on left row as well. The characters get close when we move mouse over the names of the platforms.

Terima kasih, sudah saya edit.
Saya juga berterima kasih karena saya juga nyomot dan quote langsung table yang mas husna buat sebelumnya (DT1 Februari 2026)

Saya juga sudah merombak trust list sebelumnya (entah kapan tepatnya, sekitar 3 tahun lalu, di week 236) kala thread ini sudah tidak pernah update kembali. Banyak sih, sehingga member2 yang trust saya juga meng-undelist nama saja juga. Beruntung masih ada 3 yang tidak melepas (walau saya melepas mereka), salah satunya mas husna.

Kan tinggal ubah saja mas, kecuali memang detil sekali sampai ke DT2.

Ya seingat saya jika ditag oleh DT2 maka member tersebut akan ada red trust di profilnya. Contoh kayak user yabes, jika akun newbie ngelihatnya akan ada nama saya sebagai tager trust di profil bersangkutan.

I wouldn't be surprised if that happens in future... heck they could easily say that all Tor users are criminals.
Owning a crypto exchange this days is a mess, especially if you are trying to do everything by the books and kiss government asses in the same time.

There has been a drastic decrease in XMR liquidity compared to LoyceV's snapshots, before there were almost 50 XMR, now there's less than a fraction...

BTC, ETH and DAI reserves remain at the average of other days, only XMR has seen a drastic change.

Perhaps to increase liquidity, more people should swap coins with splash or they should contract liquidity funds so that they can hold custody of the assets (I don't know how this works in detail). There must be some solution to the current low liquidity...

You must have more Ouzo in your pantry than I have drunk in my entire life. And when I say "life", I don't necessarily mean "adulthood". But don't ask more, because "No Comment!". 

As long as the post is semi on topic, even with a comprehension issue, most managers pass right over the error. They might look deeper at the poster if messaged about the poster and their habits, but at 1st glance they are not giving it a long look.

You see all kinds of little things like comprehension issues, language barriers, some read the OP and post without reading other replies so the same thing is said over and over again, people aren't gamblers and we see the same threads being made over and over because they have to meet their quota, and more.

Messaging the manager in any instance is probably the route to go to voice your concerns so that the manager can take a deeper look at the user. Quality is also subjective so a manager may disagree and continue to employ the user.

If a user doesn't believe the OP of a thread, wouldn't it be better to comment on that vs making comments that show they didn't comprehend what the user wrote?

Disagree 100% with the 1st part. There are a ton of users who don't get hired in campaigns. When I launch a campaign I have 10-25 spots usually. I also get 3-7 pages of applicants. SO for those 25 spots I have 60-140 applications to go through. 35-115 users that do not get selected.

Yes there are multiple campaigns and users apply in multiple campaigns, but some of them never get hired due to quality or activity issues. As far as quality, yea they don't all write a novel in perfect English and make others envious of how smart they sound. Could some be better? Yea I agree they could and you're not wrong some are really bad and shouldn't be hired but are given a chance.

Now let's talk about payrates, you realize this is a forum right? Companies are not going to pay users $500 a week to write posts on a forum. This is a job for some but that's not the companies problem. They offer x amount of money to a manager, usually as cheap as possible, and the manager then has to fill a campaign and start getting the sig code seen. If a user doesn't want to accept $50 a week or whatever the rate is, they can try a new campaign til they find a rate they can live with. Most times the rate they get is less than they want, but they also want to be paid for posting vs not being paid, so they take a spot til something better comes along.

You talk about quality posters but only about 10% of the forum is a quality poster in some users minds. How many "quality" posters are going to accept $50 a week? Some, like LoyceV for example, would say I'll pass and post free vs accepting such a low amount. Other will take it and make a few cents while they wait for something better.

Companies don't want to pay 10s of thousands a week for something and get what they consider little to nothing back in return. How many casinos come here and start a 1 or 2 week campaign for shit money? Then they're gone. They want hundreds to thousands of sign ups and depositors and don't realize they are not going to get that in 1 or 2 weeks.

Update!!

I have just released the new script code. Visually, nothing has changed, but the engine has been almost completely replaced. The script is now much faster and no longer makes requests to bitlist but uses the linked database. The worker will continue to scrape and use data from bitlist and the forum. I used LoyceV's lists to obtain the UserIDs of banned users.
The scraper will retrieve the information once a day, so the results will not be live.

Bitcointalk BRDb score 0.20.12

BRDb score Home page

Now I'll show you what's new on the web worker side.
I've added a home page with a search form to find the profile you want. When you type the first two letters of the username, a list of 10 suggestions will appear.



The profile page has been modified. Now, under your username, you will see the local board you belong to and a maximum of two badges for the other boards where you write most frequently. In addition, the last scrape performed and the next cycle with ETA will be displayed.



I have also added the Merit stats tab where you can see some personal statistics on Merits. The data is collected by bitlist but is not stored permanently on the database. It is cached for 24 hours. Only on the first click will you have to wait 5-10 seconds to get the data, then it will be instantaneous.



In addition to the global leaderboard, there will be a local board, but all other non-national boards will also be included. The Tab stats shows you the data in the database, not all of it, of course.

I tried on my end with all three security levels and I could not reproduce this error. Do you have a screenshot?

On a side note, I will probably start testing stuff on Tor as well.

i at first i tought you were just another troll in this forum but after reading the reviews i saw you did many many great things for the forum and for newbies .

so now im suprised on why you would act like 2.5% is too much for that kind of service when its really the lowest ever most peoples are at 5%+ on lcs.

and also why you would try to take that " im going armed" phrase out of context like it wasnt my first post from a scared newbie who didnt know what to expect from doing irl deals,
 frankly even today with my experience i think its still the right thing to do especialy in france ( ranked number 1 country in the world for wrench attacks)
and i would advice others to atleast have pepper spray or a pocket knife if you cant go through the process of legaly owning a firearm.

or you would risk ending up like the fallen french crypto owners who got attacked and the list is extremely long here is a few exemples

David Prinçay- CEO of binance france, that guy traveled all around the world and never got any problems but the moment he sat down in france in one of the "safest" departments peoples tryed to kidnap him

david baland CO CEO of ledger- once again went everywhere in the world but once he touched down in this shithole he gets kidnapped( and YES theres so many crypto kidnapping in france that you can find two peoples with the same first name getting robbed within the same year...

last month  Feb 5 /-kidnnaped a magistrate (judge) , YES those peoples would stalk and kidnap a litteral federal judge this country is not like switzerland where you are from, here doing a crypto deal armed doesnt mean that you have bad intentions it just means that you have common sense ,so please next time dont post " he's going armed" under my threads , i know its coming from a good intention you want to protect the newbies of the forum and its a nice thing, but its not doing any good here or atleast not in france.

Wow, that's a significant difference, I'm glad I made up my mind when I did.  One can only cross their fingers that renewal won't cost so much.


I noticed this myself recently when I bought a couple of 2TB SSDs for my servers.  I was dismayed when I saw the prices, I expected they would have fallen from the time of my last purchase.  The opposite is true.


Yet another reason to dislike AI.

Hey GazetBitcoin .. what’s your secret?
You can relinquish a chunk to my zero stash if you got some..I think that should also be made possible .

Game master, what happens with my BTC if I perish?
Do I keep it? It would bring me immense joy to curse LoyceV from the grave.

That's because this is game-protect's new account, which is technically ban evasion, although not provable using traditional methods. I'm still sure its game-protect. They just repeat the same nonsense over and over ad nauseum... their entire mission on the forum is to extort money from casinos. Very hard to find a reason to give them even 1 merit.

I don't report normal posts, like whether they are of low quality or good. I never report such posts. It's up to the mods to decide. From someone's perspective, "Topic 1" might be bad, while with others it might be good. So, I remain neutral.

As for my reports, I only report when I see a rule being broken. For example, rule no 32, or having multiple ANN for the same brand on the service board.

My overall report accuracy was good, above 90%. But the last time, I remember reporting a bunch of posts in a single thread in a sequence (reply 2,3,4,5). I don't exactly remember what they were (I still haven't unlocked the report log). I think it's rule 32 again. And some of them may have been handled as bad I suspect.

Right now, it's " 47 posts with 86% accuracy (40 good, 7 bad, 0 unhandled)"

[hr[


If I had a 100% accuracy I would.

Btw, sigh...

Round 6 is now over, here are the results :

Well played, GazetaBitcoin, you are the least worst predictor for this round. 50BTC have been added to your account.
cryptofrka, you want to play with fire, here's your 1.25% p.malus. Don't turn yourself into a pile of ashes.
BABY SHOES, with a difference of more than 10K compared to the price of BTC, here is a 1% p.malus.
Doan9269, you went in the wrong direction, here are your 0.75% p.malus.

BTC seems to be waking up, and you are not very good at making predictions, so for round 7, I'm going to give you a hand : you can make two predictions.
The winner of this round will only win 25BTC, but they will also get a “card” that has certain “powers.” I will give you just two words : protection and revenge.

Oh, and I also have a little announcement to make : my IT department, which manages the cash shop, needs to perform maintenance to upgrade the hardware. The cash shop will therefore be closed ~24 hours after the results of round 7 are announced and until the end of round 8. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Round 7 : The double prediction round

What will be the price of Bitcoin at March 10, 2026, 12:00:00 AM (BTC closing price on 09/03/2026) ?
Submit your predictions before March 07, 2026, 10:00:00 PM.
 
Cash shop: OPEN
 
Special rules :
Make two predictions with at least a 500$ difference between them.
The best of the two predictions will be selected.
For those with a malus/p.malus, the best prediction will be selected, and the malus will apply to that prediction.

Sedikit koreksi:

DT1 Member kali ini (Maret 2026) bukan 113 user melainkan 111—bisa dilihat kembali sumber aslinya.
Sepintas bisa dibandingkan juga antara kolom satu dan kolom dua dengan men-scroll hingga ke bawah, akan terlihat beda posisi scrollbar dan isinya.



Format tabel di atas saya modifikasi agar bisa membandingkan langsung daftar DT1 lama dan terbaru.
Saya tambahkan satu kolom untuk DT1 dari Indonesia. Sementara untuk daftar DT2—LoyceV biasanya memiliki daftar ini—, saya kurang tahu persis siapa saja yang berasal dari Indonesia.

Beberapa waktu yang lalu saya merombak kembali daftar trust saya*, entah apakah itu juga berpengaruh atau tidak.
Dulu juga saya seringkali melakukan update pada daftar trust tersebut, dan memang bergantian DT1 ⇆ DT2.

Jika dilihat pada daftar DT sebelumnya, theymos juga seringkali dari DT1 ke DT2 kemudian balik lagi DT1:




* Terpaksa saya merombak Trust list—diantaranya user yang terkena tag negatif yang belum terselesaikan masalahnya—ataupun meremove trust sesuai permintaan user bersangkutan yang memang tidak ingin berada di lingkup DT member sekalipun DT2.

It cannot speak, literally.   

Hopefully Theymos did not care a decade ago and has changed his mind.  BPIP proves people like detailed stats.   I wanted to show the fun of precision but I don't know the average number of correct reports, so instead here is a table showing the energy required to accelerate 1kg to a percent of light speed.

Percent of c	TNT Equivalent
99%	131 megatons
99.9%	459 megatons
99.99%	1.5 gigatons
99.999%	4.8 gigatons
99.9999%	15 gigatons
99.99999%	48 gigatons
99.999999%	152 gigatons
99.9999999%	480 gigatons
99.99999999%	1.52 teratons
99.999999999%	4.8 teratons

You don't think people would enjoy talking about their report stats?  Right now it's a 10,000 way tie. lol
And yes! yes you should.  That is pathetic.   :/

One could think that you've had a few drinks. But that's just non-sense. Isn't it?

99% is super excellent
98.9% is super excellent.

They are super both super excellent.

But is there any importance in the difference? That is the question to be answered and which is no. I think admin will prefer people to achieve 100%.

Does posting on the Indonesian board alone make you Indonesian? I'm actually only posting to teach, nothing more.

It seems that in addition to the two FFrankie accounts and the cheaters, who were likely also part of the same farm, the word "fourm" is also written by a couple of other accounts currently participating in the same company signature and are residents of Pakistan. It's ironic how sometimes you see alternative accounts, although I haven't checked them beyond this "typo" and merit exchange.   

@AakZaki, if you like .

I think Jason@ is spreading confusion here. I will never believe that OP Jason@ always tells the truth. And I will also not believe that the account that OP claims is his is his account. Because it is absolutely clear, he is claiming the Nuburian account as his but cannot provide any clear proof of it. Also, if you look closely, you will see that the Nuburian account was a person from the Russian board, and almost all the posts of the Nuburian account were on the Russian board. However, translate it and see that Jason@ is identifying himself as an Indonesian. And his posts are visible on the Indonesian board. So how can we believe that he is an alternative person to the Nuburian account.

At first, I also thought that the Nuburian account was his. Because he was outspoken. And he was telling everything in order. But now I will not believe him.

There's a thread for that here by LoyceV; List of all Bitcoin Addresses with a Balance

Without the transactions this is not a replacement for a full node, it's just a repository of addresses. You can go for a printed node to save space and still contribute to the decentralization of Bitcoin.

 I've been wanting to say it for a while... but now it goes...

Thank you Satofan44, nutildah and LoyceV for your apt contributions.
Even if I don't have that 100% clarity, I have learnt more about the trust system.

• It is not easy to reach a consensus in the trust system, assuming it's the Bitcoin network, there would have been too many forks
• There's no rigid rule to follow, almost every issues in the forum is treated case by case, situation by situation.

I also understand that many users (especially DT) do not actually want to write in this thread, maybe because of the nature of its content.
I will therefore lock this thread and follow my instinct.

• The chronological file is great for historical pattern analysis (adoption waves, exchange behaviour, early wallet clustering).
• The sorted file is ideal for fast lookups and set intersections, especially using tools like comm as you showed.
• Weekly full updates + daily deltas is a smart balance given the 30+ GB size.

  you have made your point clear and I think this is where the problem is, I don’t even know some people already used similar name i also used and people are still creating similar names like mine since I created mine.
I never said anyone should be banned for similar names i was just saying it should not be allowed anymore since it’s already causing confusion.
I will go with what notocactus said, anyone who registered similar name with someone in other to use it to scam members in the forum should be ban with evidence of scam attempt, I think it’s better this way.

It should not and all other account names should not be banned simply and only because of the names. Days ago, two accounts with names similar to two signature campaign managers were nuked. I don't look details but assume there is no scam activities from them, their accounts should be fine. It's my opinion, as we can not assume that any user with any name was created just for scam at all.

Before they do any scam, they are naive, and it's unfair to ban them or nuke them.

If ban, nuke is applied too simple like this, BitBakerr1 accounts should have been banned already, while it was not banned.

I spend my 10 BTC to give malus to LoyceV. I curse you, non-believer!

What wonderful and kind people there are on this forum! How everyone tried to help, and how did it all end? The person simply disappeared without giving you anything or even a kind word of thanks. The moral of this and all other such stories is that you shouldn't help anyone here. Even if you do, no one will admit to being rich, because everyone knows that besides you, the good people of this forum, there are also scammers waiting for the next victim to scam and take all the money for themselves, or money they didn't earn and have no right to. I can't even remember the last time someone helped someone here and received even a fraction of the money for it. Since Bitcoin has been worth over $1,000, I don't think anyone will receive any compensation for their knowledge or help. People who haven't spent 15 years of their lives studying Bitcoin simply come here and get advice for free, which makes them millionaires. After you make them millionaires, they don't even say thank you, they just disappear! Serves you right. Keep helping for free, and don't ask people for their wallets. Help them in a way that allows them to solve their own problems and disappear without even a thank you!

wer genau rausgeflogen ist und wer dafür neu aufgenommen wurde, dies könnt ihr aus dieser liste entnehmen - hier hat es leider Buchi-88, polymerbit, Kryptowerk und efialtis getroffen:

Why are you complaining?

According to the latest data from Re: The future of Bitcointalk: Low Ranking Top Merit earners in the past 30 days by @LoyceV.



You are amongst in the top 50. So it means that merit system is not broken as you have thought so.

Damn, I didn't realize it. And it seems like you're the only one who realize it. Lol

5 x 5 is = 25  not 50   

Thanks


At least I receive 5 merits per year, so far

It's actually not the case with server.json.
That list is kind of the default list that the client set to bootstrap its connection, just like Bitcoin Core's DNS Seed.

Your server can make it to the client's list because the client queries for its server's peers which may include yours.
Then with it, it populates its server list. If one of its connected server is your peer, your server will be included to the client's list.

Here's a reference in Electrum's documentation: electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#does-electrum-trust-servers

And just delete your posts that do not get merits.

Ie make 300 posts in a month go back and delete 50 that did not make a merit. pretty much hurts the accuracy of what elite is .

As to quality posts my two best  board for quality died since they were mining btc and mining alts.

I gave thousands of posts on how to build miners silence miners etc.

That shit is pretty much dead for a retail house.

I can make a good post but I lost my favorite subject areas. Makes it hard to do it.

Also BTC is over 17 years old.

bitcointalk is over  15 years old.

I have been here since 2012 more than 13 years and 6 months ago.

so
all exchanges crashes = same old news
all ponzis = same old news.
all politics feels like the same.
all wars seem repetitive

mining is only for a person that has over 100kwatts an hour at 4-5 cents a kwatt and even that means under 714 earned and only about 600 after power.

no home miner in that camp. So for me writing a good thread is harder as my interest was in mining. Not so much using BTC as a Visa card .

Shit, I forgot something. I edited the end of my post.

You do what you want with your BTC .

Thanks for your response JJG, I was waiting for someone to guide me on this matter, like how can I be unignored by him? I know he ignored me and my posts won't be visible to him at all so anything I post will be of no use.

I also tend to do the same. In the start, I was only posting in threads I understand, and that were interesting too, and threads in which I can post something good and helpful, or if I have a question. But I thought a lot about where I did wrong and in which timeline he could have ignored me, like if the timeline were somehow known, then maybe I could remember what I did wrong. Anyway, your concern made me think again and I did made some posts back in the day that was not relevant to the topic because OP was talking about one thing and I was about talking another, but that was only one or two times, and I still remember those posts because everyone bashed me haha, I knew it was my mistake so I apologized to everyone and edited my post. But it was really one or two time so that can't be it.

Because making such mistakes one or two times can be forgivable. So maybe I said something in a post that he read, and he thought I know nothing, or that, as you said, maybe I gave him the impression that I am pretending or faking, well, I have always been honest and accept my mistakes because where I am wrong, I am wrong, there is no point in faking anything. I have learned one thing that if you want to grow and learn, ask any kind of question that comes to your mind, so I did the same before ChatGPT's arrival, so maybe I asked or said something that I should'nt have asked.

There are always some ways to make the post more interesting to get merit but I am not focusing on earning merit but to post not whatever comes to my mind, but trying to be helpful, informative and at least agree with them like you said trying to make it interesting. Well thanks again for the reponse, I hope I will end up with a way to be unignored by him as you said it can be hard but not impossible. So I will give it a try.

Lock & unlock

Cryptofrka, I thought you were joking and that you were going to edit your prediction discreetly. But you were serious... or you forgot to edit it.
That's bold, that's ballsy. Especially with just one life. I like that.
I'm going to reward you with 10BTC, which will be credited to your account immediately.
My assistant will explain below how p.malus work. If you manage to get rid of your p.malus and you are still in the game, I will give you an extra 10BTC.

How the poisoned malus (p.malus) works ?
The person who ends up in last place will receive a p.malus of 1.25%.
The second-to-last player will receive a p.malus of 1%.
The third-to-last player will receive a p.malus of 0.75%.

These p.malus will not disappear at the end of round 7. At the end of each round, the p.malus will be reduced by 0.25. These p.malus will disappear if they reach 0.

Example :
Round X: Player 1 has a p.malus of 1%.
Round X+1: Player 1 has a p.malus of 0.75%.
Round X+2: Player 1 has a p.malus of 0.50%.
Round X+3: Player 1 has a p.malus of 0.25%.
Round X+4: Player 1 has a p.malus of 0%. He is healed.

If, by unfortunate chance, Player 1 receives a another malus, it is added to his current p.malus.
Example :
Round X: Player 1 has a p.malus of 1%.
Round X+1: Player 1 has a p.malus of 0.75%.
Round X+1: Player 1 gets a malus of 0.50%, his p.malus increases to 0.75 + 0.50 = 1.25%.
Round X+2: Player 1 has a p.malus of 1%.
Round X+3: Player 1 has a p.malus of 0.75%.
Etc...

We can see this is actually the case.  Neither mine, nor LoyceV's server is listed in the server.json file, yet both pop up on the client side.  I see many servers on my client that aren't listed on the server.json file.  It is a bit of a mystery.

@ghost43 is one of the developers, and although he isn't a regular here, he does drop in once in a while.  I'm not sure if this is a big enough subject for him to spend time explaining, but we may get lucky.

LoyceV is likely not an easy guy to satisfy, so you might want to set your sights a wee bit lower.

Over the years, what I have tended to do is to post in topics that are of interest to me, and of course, I find bitcoin to be an ongoingly fascinating topic, yet surely if guys are having to "fake it to make it" then yeah, it becomes more difficult to write in a way that might attempt to combine your ideas and/or your experiences in a way that attempts to interact with topics being discussed in the thread that you are posting.

There surely are some guys who post about their desires to get rich quick or to trade or to post in shitcoin threads and/or gambling threads, and even though I try NOT to frequent those kinds of threads, there could be ways to even make those kinds of posts interesting enough to other members in order to inspire such other members to send you an smerit.

Incredible to see the technical back-and-forth here.

@NotATether: You're spot on. The raffle/giveaway use case is the perfect "lite" version of this. The reason we moved from Block-hashes to Drand is specifically to solve the "Miner Manipulation" and "Reorg" issues you mentioned. In a high-stakes environment, we need a heartbeat that can't be "mined" or delayed by a single actor.

@LoyceV: Precisely. With 2²⁵⁶ states, the bias from a simple modulo is technically astronomical (around 10^-75), which is effectively zero for any standard game.

@dewez, I appreciate the detailed list. As a fellow builder, I respect the "100% in-house" philosophy. However, I think there’s a distinction between "Trusting a 3rd party" and "Verifying a Physical Constant."

To address your points:

On Trust (Points 1, 5, 6, 9): Unlike block hashes (which @NotATether mentioned), Drand isn't "mined." It’s a threshold network of 20+ independent entities (Cloudflare, Ethereum Foundation, various Universities). To "fuck up" a result, 51% of those global entities must collude in milliseconds. That is a higher security bar than any single casino's server.

The "Commitment Ceremony" (Point 3 & 4): This is the core of Blockrand. The "Client Seed" isn't gone; it’s just evolved. The user's input now acts as a nonce that is hashed with a future Drand epoch. The "Ceremony" is the 10-second countdown where the house and player are both mathematically locked out.

The "Bad Implementation" (Points 8 & dewez’s follow-up): You are 100% correct about bias. A bad modulo on a good hash is still a bad result. That’s why Blockrand uses Rejection Sampling over the full 32-byte threshold signature. We don't "eat digits"; we ensure uniform distribution across the entire range.

It’s not an IOU—it’s a Smart Contract for Entropy. It protects the operator from "Whale FUD" just as much as it protects the player.

20,000 Merit An incredible achievement, you are now the number 2 person after LoyceV with 21303 Merit.
But after that in an instant it increased +24 merit.
I'm also up to 2222 at the moment, a good number, but it takes 17,802 Merit to overtake you :v

[/quote]

Thanks LoyceV for bringing my attention to bitcointalk forum mission, and with this my suggestion can’t be possible.
Thanks to those who brought up other suggestions to make this forum more safe, we will keep doing our best to reduce scam.

I will lock this thread now.

This month 111 users were eligible.

Old:
New:

I forgot to check with registration dates and user id numbers, as I thought my memory was accurate. 

I remembered that in a post years ago, you revealed on reason you chose your username as LoyceV. It's because someone registered an account with LoyceValenzuela already, while it was initially the name you wanted to register.

sure.. the point was: after you get a solid hash bad implementation can fuck it up.

Hi all! I've blocked the thread.

1. The results will be announced within a week or two.
2. There will be 20 prizes of $150 each.
3. Each user has been assigned a number of slots in the raffle (we will use the system suggested by examplens).

• Uncounted votes.

• Valid votes (and the number of slots that the user will occupy in the raffle).

I also have 10 places because I voted, and I want to give 8 of my slots to the following posts because I consider them the most comprehensive (holydarkness, JollyGood), that is, I will keep 2 slots for myself.

Hello guys, a lot has changed recently on the Wall observer, so I started up something that I used to do a long time ago.

I don't like the idea of storing your savings in wallet.dat without the possibility of a meatspace backup such as speed phrases on paper. And this goes for other machine formats of storing private keys as well. Just a few hardware failures and your coins are gone.


But then you would have to write down the encryption key.

And at that point, your backup strategy would be a bunch of Babushka dolls.

If FF confiscates a user's coins (leaving their reason aside), it could somehow be considered theft. Since we know that compliance with regulations is just an excuse, and "allegedly" stolen coins will never be returned to the original victim (ok, maybe Bybit was an exception). This means that stolen coins should receive another layer of the theft label, this time by FF.
How should such cases be treated?

It's different when you give a user a negative feedback for scamming to when you give same negative feedback for just thinking that they may be scam. The first instance is quite logical than the second.

Trusting someone by guts feeling isn't enough to ascertain that such user is trust deserving. A positive trust feedback given base on financial deeds or any type of dealings can't be compared to the confidence that would be involved when another user understands that it's just a trust given out of guts.  If you really want to know the real character of a person and to test their integrity, involve money to it not guts feeling.

It was hard work selecting the members below, these are sincere votes. Some I've had in mind for a while, as I've spent more time with them. I would like to nominate more members, but unfortunately I can only vote for 3 in each category. But know that you are all incredible!!!

Here are my nominations:

HI-TEC99: I will never forget this user, he was one of the first to be very helpful to me, assisting me throughout the process of decrypting the Bitcoin Wallet Android wallet backup (schildbatch wallet). That's where my journey on the forum began. He is no longer active, I hope he is well!

HCP: This is another member who helped me a lot in the early days to solve the same problem above. Yes, it took me weeks or months to fully understand what I was doing wrong. He is also inactive, he also deserves a tribute.

Pmalek: He and I are involved in almost all technical discussions and we almost always interact with each other. I'm impressed by his technique and precision in suggesting or solving problems.


ABCbits: This guy is really cool, I really enjoy reading his posts, most are precise and technical, plus I come across him in most of the forum discussions and boards (that I participate in). I like him a lot.

vapourminer: I don't know who he is, but he's a mysterious guy and I think he has a strong presence on the forum. I see him more as an observer (although I consider myself one too), anyway, he has his ninja style.

LoyceV: I can't forget this guy, good presence on the forum, always involved in technical discussions, and if I'm not mistaken, he's the type of guy who posts something philosophical, anyway, always helping newbies and experienced users.

nc50lc: What can I say about this guy? He usually always understands the technical context of a discussion and almost always proposes a solution to your problem.

dkbit98: I like reading his posts, he has a lot of knowledge to share and I always see him suggesting solutions, his pow is comprehensive and with a good argument, technical and precise in the subjects.

TryNinja: Whenever I remember bitlist.co I will remember him, he is a very present guy and has a lot of knowledge to share, he contributed a lot developing tools like bitlist.co for the forum, he is an excellent programmer.

Guys, I love pizzas, I think it was the best recipe I know, so the nomination couldn't be anything else. Just seeing the participants' pizzas makes me hungry...

My vote goes to them because I really like the project and I'm confident it has a lot of room to grow on the forum. After eXch. shut down, I didn't see any other free-kyc exchanges, it was after its emergence that other services with similar proposals reappeared. May privacy always prevail!

He is a very kind member of our community, always involved with political and philosophical discussions. I was impressed by his development on the forum. I don't remember exactly when I noticed him, but in a short time he reached the Hero rank! Well done!

Mia Chloe: This year I'm putting her in this category. She's a dear friend of mine and I enjoy reading her posts whenever  I come across her amidst the forum discussions.

DdmrDdmr: What I have to say about him is that he does a great job on Bitcointalk on Meta, always cataloging members in his posts who are close to reaching the next rank, which helps identify members who are gaining traction and space in the forum. He always recognizes good posts that deserve plenty of merits.

Hhampuz: He is one of the most respected managers on the forum and a very honest guy. I've never had any problems working with him, he's a really cool guy, I like him.

icopress: He is also one of the most respected managers on the forum, honest, and he's already offered to solve a problem I had. He's a very helpful and really nice guy.

AB de Royse777: I've had the pleasure of working on some of his campaigns. You can see that he has a lot of professionalism and passion for what he does. He's an indispensable member of the forum. Very honest. Anyway, all the people listed in this category share the same level of professionalism, honesty are friendly.


bitmover: Bitmover is a sincere guy, great at giving suggestions and and has a lot of knowledge. He participates in almost all discussions in our board community.

sabotag3x: He's a guy I've known since my early days on the forum. He's one of the oldest users on our board, always posting and sharing knowledge in our community.

rdluffy: He's a sincere guy, always helpful, and always sharing his knowledge, he's a very friendly guy.

Mindyspace is an amazing woman and also a recent discovery on this forum. She's gradually gaining recognition, makes great posts, and I interact with her whenever I can. She has everything it takes to become a Legendary, and I hope she stays with us for a long time.

We all often wonder how in the World some people got to hold some Bitcoin in their Wallet for over a decade and not spend any at all.  Not when that turned in to a thousand Dollars, not when it turned in to a hundred thousand, not even when it turned in to a couple Million.

Now I suppose we can see such an example right here!

-----

Considering how long you have been holding Bitcoin for, you must have a decent amount sitting there.  You could start exploring possible ways to even use the advantage of Bitcoin related Laws offered by other countries, it may end up being a smaller cost than the United Kingdom Taxes you would other wise have to pay.

Some times, I feel in the same position like you when it comes to the management of my Bitcoin.  It happens that I forget Passwords, I know I wrote down some of them but I do not even remember where.  The good thing is that it usually happens to Wallets that never contain much in them.  Although even 40 Dollars is something.  It is worth the beers you could get for finally unlocking it at least!
