LoyceV's Bitcointalk Notifications: all posts that quoted or mentioned LoyceV in the past 7 days

I was just seeing my old posts where I saw a reply to my post, by Alpen who replied me on a post of mine. I got suspicous seeing his reply and decided to run a check unfortunately for him he turned out to be a Ai shitposter.

Everyone waits for 'New Year miracles,' but those expectations are often just wishful thinking. What we really need are concrete goals and proven models.

Throughout last year, I watched the explosion of new stablecoins from various developers and even traditional finance firms. This gave me a simple arbitrage idea: capturing a 0.1% spread on trades where both assets are nominally pegged to the USD.

I’ve already battle-tested this on Cryptomus using USDT pairs and even wrote an arbitrage bot for it. In the new year, I plan to scale this strategy to other stablecoins with better margins. If I can reach a 1% daily return, it will be a massive success.

As I see it, your parents' main issue is that they are poor judges of character. If that’s the case, business might not be for them. In this world, losing funds like that is essentially natural selection.

However, with the rise of AI agents, we might soon be able to remove the 'human factor' from business entirely.

Back to crypto: keeping funds on a CEX is just as risky as using a DEX. Look at the recent Binance case — their developers designed the non-custodial wallet so 'efficiently' that it sent seed phrases directly to a scammer's server.

Personally, I split my trust 50/50 between 'new faces' and proven services. With newcomers like Cryptomus, I get advanced, cutting-edge features. With legacy ones like MetaMask, I get time-tested quasi-reliability. I’ve moved almost everything off old exchanges, except for Poloniex — mostly because I’m just too lazy to switch

Quote from: Alpen on December 12, 2025, 09:00:50 AM

The core problem is this: you still need regular money (fiat) to buy crypto, which forces you onto exchanges and through their KYC checks. But I really don't want my wallets to be de-anonymized, where just anyone could look up how much I'm holding. These days, it seems like everyone is tracking blockchain transactions.

You can break the trail of your transfers by using a coin mixer. But I don't want to accidentally receive coins that were stolen by, say, North Korean hackers. That would land my wallet on the blacklist of nearly every exchange and trading platform.

This is where using Monero (XMR) starts to make sense. I can buy XMR legitimately on Kraken or through a gateway like Cryptomus. Those transfers are still untraceable because of how Monero's transactions are built for privacy.

So my question is, what's the next step? Which decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are reliable for swapping XMR into the cryptocurrency I actually want?

Ps: he was tagged by LoyceV as an Ai spammer. He is also doing a good job in disguising the Ai Generated Text after getting the Tag but it's sure That he's still using Ai.

Luckily, I'm not affected by this since I'm still using v29.0.

Good thing that the previous migration process of v29 and below isn't affected since I've used it a few times and it never failed,
Or is it?

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 10:13:17 AM

But I have no intention to upgrade yet, I like the possibility of easily importing a private key when needed.

I'm not persuading you to upgrade but it should be easy for you to learn the new importdescriptors command to import WIFs wrapped as single-key descriptors.
Once you get the hang of it, it should be simple enough to do within a minute (excluding rescan of course)

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 10:13:17 AM

What are the odds: this pretty much describes my current wallet! But I have no intention to upgrade yet, I like the possibility of easily importing a private key when needed. And of course I have backups.

I don’t like to upgrade very often but I did upgrade to 29.0 not long back because of all the Knots nonsense going on. I just wanted to make sure I was pre 30.0 as I had a feeling there could be problems.

As for importprivkey, I have ‘t done that for a very long time but literally only became aware a few days agoacter reading on here that the process has changed to a slightly more techie way of doing it. I don’t know why that was messed with, it was fine as it was.

"If those wallets aren't backed up"

Imagine running a very old legacy wallet for all those years without having a backup, and then finally deciding to upgrade your only version of your wallet. I have no doubt those people still exist, but damn!

Terrible prospect, I can’t even imagine this with Bitcoin Core.

Luckily, I use Bitcoin Core solely as a node, not as the wallet. My stash is controlled by hardware wallet, namely Passport Core. But the chance that someone could be caught by this bug ^{if they haven’t been already} isn’t zero. Brrrr.

What's there to ponder? I've sent 64,000 sMerit and have a few thousand left. Put this way, the remaining amount is just a few percent.

64,000 sent out wow.. this got me a little bit more surprised because I don’t know how the 64,000 came about looking at your total merit is not even upto that amount you have a total of about 20,800 merit and I was thinking smerit is Always half of what you earned .or probably it’s not same with the the merit source ?

Quote from: Alvin_talk on January 05, 2026, 12:28:47 PM

Personally I think it might be appropriate to atleast give a neutral tag to such users (the tags can be removed once the remove the signature and avatar) because such user is passing false information for others and managers to believe and so they are not to be trusted.

Because a forum user decided to wear a signature or an avatar of a particular project, it will ruin the reputation of the manager managing the campaign. I don't understand how you thought about this. There is alot of freedom in the forum. The projects make their campaign and avatar public, so anyone can decide to give them free promotion. Why talking about whose reputation is bad. How about if LoyceV decides to wear the signature of a particular project for free, will it raise as much uproar?

Signature space is personal and the owner decides what they advertise their in as much as it is a legal product or services. If neutral tag is given to such a person for wearing a random signature, and also be removed when they remove the signature, it means you are given someone a full time job to check these things and leave the tag.

Quote from: goldkingcoiner on Today at 06:29:19 PM

Talking of marketing statistics, do we have a way to see the live statistics of most merited/replied topics/posts/users within a certain time span?
The forum statistics are outdated.

I feel like that would be a much better marketing resource than any third party tool which is meant to micro-analyse the signature wearers.

I think some of these features still exist but I'm sure they exist in:

Does that really work though? You know the saying: "there is no bad publicity"? I'm pretty sure even the most annoying commercials stick to people's minds, and they'll end up buying it anyway.

I try to do the same thing with real life products as well; I know it doesn't really accomplish anything but it gives me some kind of personal satisfaction. You're lucky you don't live in the US where people are bombarded by highly-polished drug commercials 24/7. As an American, there's a diligence involved with keeping your guard up against ads if you want to maintain any semblance of independent thought, lol.

Seeing ads/promotions of a platform and products has a way of influencing individuals decision except in scenario where trust and reputation is broken or unknown and that's the importance of branding many of these platforms or services get through the campaigns run at BTT.

Quote from: OgNasty on Today at 06:24:07 PM

I think large companies aren't viewing signature campaigns as profitable ventures. I believe they aren't as concerned with how much money a particular advertiser brings in from bitcointalk as they are in just keeping their name out in the discussion. Most people don't click affiliate links and would just type in stake.com for example, so trying to measure an individual's profitability by referrals might not be something they care about. They want to keep growing, and having their ads all over the place brings recognition. In the early stages of any industry, brand recognition is important.

To be honest, the rate of me going to my browser to search for a brand I saw here is higher than the number of times I actually clicked a signature campaign link.

Also, we don't need to forget that when recommending others to this brand(s) we often are not sharing them a sig campaign link but rather sharing the brand name. Many just want trust rather than just trying to test something just because we saw it online. This is why those in the forum with more inluence and reputation will get more users for a brand since it is easier to trust the brand they promote.

It therefore means that if anyone posts good and quality posts, they will also receive some merits from you. It is just fine like that, but I doubt you will have the time to go through all the applications.

This means that there is a process of reading, assessing, and then deciding, even though it is assisted by automation tools.

DdmrDdmr first added more Merit to a post of mine that he Merited before, then Merited multiple posts that he hadn't Merited yet, but many others did. So I guess this is how this "spree" was selected, probably fully automated.

I ran some very low-effort statistics on the spree here:

Is DdmrDdmr even human?

I also noticed that he merited some posts he had already merited and some new ones: strangely, I thought there was a correlation between the two sets and the amount of merits, but I failed, even if I think there are good chances the "marker" for the post he "missed" was the source of the merit.

I was kinda shocked that some users didn't get a single click from their signature after a few weeks

Did they write generic shitposts that nobody reads, or am I just biased in my assumption here? Wink

I don't know about you, but when I find an inordinate amount of shitposts coming from a particular campaign, I make a mental note to avoid patronizing their product. I can't help but think ideal SEO would work in the same way: weeding out inorganic traffic in favor of relevant, quality content. Its a cat-and-mouse game with Google and spam in which spam is always finding new ways to stay one step ahead.

If you know the process, the wallet migration, wallet back up will be the first thing that will comes to your mind before you even start.

Why doesn't Bitcoin Core do this by default? Instead of overwriting your wallet.dat, shouldn't the default behaviour be to rename it to wallet.backup20260501.dat before creating a new wallet.dat?

It does.

The problem is that the backups are stored in a directory that is accidentally deleted by the bug as well. Obviously this is a major bug and it took a little while to figure out the scope of the issue.

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 08:13:26 AM

@TryNinja: how can I search for "—"? Let's just say I have a hunch Wink

You can't, because my index used for searching strips them.

I can, however, search my database directly and give you a data dump. I found 79705 results between all posts and 57156 results when ignoring user quotes.

Which one do you prefer?

a) CSV file with the posts
b) JSON file with the posts
c) I vibe code a bitlist page for the data dump (i.e bitlist.co/data/em-dashes-06-01-2026), similar to the /search page so you can look at them more easily

I hope these reach as many as possible before they make regretful decision, but why will someone literally do something like this Cry

It's been two weeks since the reports were posted on Github https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/34128#issue-3750246491; there could be more damage or maybe less. I think an old legacy user ought to know the importance of wallet back up than anyone.

Yeah I have always backed mine up, multiple times, I have to be honest. I moved all my Legacy address Bitcoin to Segwit a couple of years ago.

I think the next time we will have to move coins for something other than selling is if Quantum becomes an actual threat. I haven’t read up in too much detail but I believe there will be Quantum Proof addresses or a patch to a oid any potential losses. That’s a discussion for another day any way but I thought it was the right thing to post this here after seeing it, even if like you said, only a few people are careless enough to not have backups.

To be completely honest, I care about users who write their posts across all the forums, not just on a specific board. But that campaign required me to require participants to write at least 10 posts out of 25 on the gambling board. I feel like this is the most crowded board and full of generic shitposts. Even if you write a good quality post in a gambling board, it will be quickly buried under dozens of generic spam posts. I won't say that participants were writing shitposts that nobody reads, but surely not that quality you may expect.

I never considered the Bitcointalk forum as a massive source of traffic. I think the forum has some crypto OG and the crypto projects should focus on convincing them by building their reputation. It could be by sponsoring the community events, running promotionals campaigns, etc.

Quote from: LoyceV on January 05, 2026, 06:21:50 PM

Campaign managers on Bitcointalk don't have access to this information. The service could include a tracking link for each user, and get the data from their own system. Some of them must be doing this.

This is a bit extra work for the managers, but it is doable.
One of my clients provided a tracking link for each signature participant, and I had to send the customized signature code to all the campaign participants via direct message. The company were checking the stats weekly, and they were sharing the reports. I was kinda shocked that some users didn't get a single click from their signature after a few weeks and the project was asking me to replace those users. Usually, the projects share one tracking link which we include in the signature code and they track the overall signature campaign performace instead of checking participant wise.

Your 2014 Acer Aspire E5-411 (2GB RAM + 500GB HDD) is too weak for a smooth full node in 2026—Bitcoin blockchain is ~500-600GB+ now (growing ~100-150GB/year), initial sync would crawl forever on that old HDD/CPU, and 2GB RAM will likely OOM during IBD.
Realistic answers:

Hardware: Won't really work well. Upgrade to at least 8GB RAM (if possible) and use the external 1TB as SSD if you can (HDD sync = days/weeks of pain). Better: get a cheap used mini-PC/RPi 5 with 8GB+ RAM + SSD. External drive helps for storage, but speed matters more than size.
Full vs Pruned: Go pruned (-prune=550 or higher) unless you want to serve full archival data. Full node verifies everything once (during sync), pruned discards old blocks after, uses ~7-10GB + chainstate. Benefits of full: you help network more (serve blocks), can audit history fully. Pruned is fine for personal validation/privacy.
Linux distro for beginner: Ubuntu Server LTS (24.04 or latest) — dead simple, huge community, Bitcoin Core in repos or easy PPA. Avoid desktop flavors if headless. Debian stable is rock-solid too but slightly more conservative.
Tor? Not necessary, but recommended for privacy (hides your IP from peers). Easy: add onlynet=onion or use Tor proxy in bitcoin.conf. Many run without and it's fine.

Start with pruned mode on Ubuntu, use external drive for datadir. Great first step—run it pruned, learn as you go. If sync dies, consider Umbrel or RaspiBolt guides for easier setup on better hardware. You've got this! 🚀

The behavior you are seeing is because I test for bugs on the forum frequently. You can see the badge for security hunter on my profile for submitting valid bug on the forum.

This sounds plausible. I wouldn't want to get tagged either if I change or reset my password as many times as I want.

I did look for that badge, could not find it. Now I know what it looks like. I'm going to revise feedback to neutral until he provides a signed message - just because he tested for bugs in the past does not mean we ignore all suspicious behavior. Where is Theymos to verify this account that helped the forum has not been hacked?

A considerate number of users seem to be wearing Rainbet's signature for no apparent reason, without being in the spreadsheet. Most, if not all of them, are AI spammers, or simply shitposters, creating one-line replies of zero effort and contribution. Quite a few of them have been reported on the AI Report Thread, and I believe its part of an account farm. I'm unsure if there's an ulterior motive behind it, why is it Rainbet in particular and what are they getting out of it remains unknown. I would agree with LoyceV about being part of a private deal that may not be included in the spreadsheet (public), but most users I've personally seen are the AI spammers I mentioned earlier.

I never understood why any manager would unilaterally conclude there was a correlation between the bounty/campaigns they managed and information related to it only being made available via their Telegram. If they use this forum to seek and enroll members then they must use their forum to provide information to them too.

In the case of Royse777 and #his relationship with 1win, it clearly is yet another demonstration of his lack of skills and balance.

Those who are close and following my campaign management knows anything that posted in the telegram group gets my attention faster.

If the scam accusation is about this topic, why didn't you post in there during the past 2 months, instead of expecting people to follow your personal promotion on Telegram? You create a topic on Bitcointalk, follow up there! Now you just create a topic and abandon it, and judging by the 18 topics you've created in Games and Rounds in December alone, this isn't the first time.

Also: you should know by now that on-forum altcoin giveaways aren't allowed. Asking people to choose their default currency isn't allowed, it should be Bitcoin.

Funny and ironic because he was constantly attacking every other user for simply being in a signature campaign. It's also extremely funny that he's accusing everyone of multiaccounting/farming, including reputable members such as LoyceV, and myself (he openly accused me in the other topic) and he's claiming it here again by briefly including that topic here

Why would I not be? I am conservatively among the top 5 posters enrolled across all campaigns and all managers. Should they include you instead? A lying and 3rd world shitposting pajeet? Roll Eyes

Well maybe you shouldn't be there because we had an explicit and public discussion with the campaign manager that you're not getting paid by him so idk

Maybe there's a misunderstanding somewhere 🙄

LoyceV also known as Laura made a mistake, because he's too busy being biased and ignoring actual scammers here. Hhampuz I believe made a general statement about recently awakened users and tactics of account farmers that wear the signature and avatar of campaigns that they are not enrolled in. However, you can spot a difference with those accounts by looking at their post history. They are mostly short and generic shitposts. There were plenty of these accounts recently.

I let the mistake go, because I am here for entertainment.

Well, I guess it is no longer new that some users wear signature and avatar of campaigns they were not hired for. I would have classified this as a voluntary service but this habit has its downside. The major one is that it leads false accusations on managers. Imagine a user with a negative tag wearing an avatar of a campaign, it might be assumed the manager of the signature is aware of the tag yet allows him in his signature campaign such as this one:

Quote from: alani123 on December 27, 2025, 01:29:04 PM

The fact that he's accepted in a signature campaign while doing all that says a lot about the state of this forum.
Make everyone's life worse, act like an insufferable moron and still some signature campaign manager will get you paid for it.

LoyceV managed to confirm the users name was not in the spreadsheet

Quote from: LoyceV on December 27, 2025, 01:40:07 PM

I don't see him in Hhampuz' spreadsheet. He's not the first one with that signature who's not listed.

Then Hhampuz had to defend himself:

Quote from: Hhampuz on December 27, 2025, 01:51:51 PM

You'd be surprised how many users do this. I get notifications on telegram almost daily about some spammer/scammer or whatever being part of my campaign (they're not, just wearing the sig). I appreciate LoyceV for actually checking spreadsheets to confirm this at least, others.. not so much. This is the only reason why I always advocate for keeping open and transparent sheets, can't be arsed with all the drama, lol.

From the above, it shows that alot of users who are not part of a paid signature campaign go ahead to wear the signature and avatar anyways, which can tarnish the image and reputation of a manager if they have been tagged for spamming, scamming etc. For me, I see this as an abuse of signature campaigns and I believe their are other oterior motive attached to this act. Some users do this so that a manager can see they are in a signature campaign already and therefore are capable of participating in other campaigns but this act is not so favourable for managers.

Personally I think it might be appropriate to atleast give a neutral tag to such users (the tags can be removed once the remove the signature and avatar) because such user is passing false information for others and managers to believe and so they are not to be trusted.

Code:

userID,msgID,username,addressstring

Given that the tool I use asks for a format like this, if it is inverted then there will be an input error.
Also so that I don't format it again.

I don't think so, I just understood the pattern and looked randomly at posts and threads that got merit. I see DdmrDdmr doesn't distribute its merit on posts or Threads that have absolutely no merit before.

According to my analysis, the bot already has some kind of command such as, distribute merits to posts or threads that already have a certain amount of Merits before.

DdmrDdmr first added more Merit to a post of mine that he Merited before, then Merited multiple posts that he hadn't Merited yet, but many others did. So I guess this is how this "spree" was selected, probably fully automated.

he got me on 3 posts he had not merited before, each post had at least 6 merits, from at least 6 different people

To be frank I am still thinking how he does it,

You have it in the OP, even though he hasn't updated the merit spree explanation this time. Normally, what he does is re-merit posts that he has already merited and merit posts that he has not merited but that meet a series of characteristics. I quote the explanation from previous merit sprees.

Quote from: DdmrDdmr on February 03, 2019, 03:58:55 PM

Version 57 - 31/12/2024 (147 posts merited (by me) in just under 3 minutes) -> 310 sMerits
Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (up until last friday ).

Version 56 - 09/06/2024 105 posts merited (by me) in just under 2 minutes) -> 105 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.
- Have received merits from at least five different people since may 2024.
- Are not in Services nor in WO nor in off-topic.
- Are not in a bunch of threads I've discarded.
The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.

After a long hiatus, we are here, back with a nice surprise for the 17th anniversary of Bitcoin!

The official post by ddmrddmr has not been updated.

Official @ddmrddmr thread

First, the usual spreadsheet, where you see the two last sprees:

From the total merits submitted in the paired TICK-TOCK sprees, this is the largest on record since I began tracking the sprees!
The wait was well worth of this gargantuan spree @ddmrddmr!

Merit Spree #59 by @ddmrddrmr

There is no Official Description; the official thread was not updated by @ddmrddmr

My review:

TICK: This is the largest TICK spree so far. One metric that stands out is the low transaction-per-second rate. Digging a little bit into the distribution, we see there are two separate chunks of distribution. Maybe something didn't go as planned, and the spree got interrupted. Probably our mutual friend fixed something, and the TICK spree resumed!

Here's the TOP10:

Code:

1. Porfirii 38
2. famososMuertos 28
3. Rikafip 26
4. fillippone 22
5. Don Pedro Dinero 22
6. d5000 20
6. Amphenomenon 20
8. Hispo 16
8. danadc 16
8. Crypto Library 16

Even if it was the highest on the track, the number of merits to enter the TOP10 was not very high: 16 merits, topped this time by Porfirii with 38 merits, again, not a super-high number.
That's all, folks, for Merits Spree 59!

Merit Spree #60 by @ddmrddrmr

There is no Official Description; the official thread was not updated by @ddmrddmr

My review:

TOCK This second spree was fairly big: the second spree in history. Shall we explain this with the number of merits @ddmrddmr has likely been stacking during this long, quiet period?
Will we see more from him soon?

Here's the TOP10:

Code:

1. cygan 22
2. theymos 16
3. d5000 16
4. PowerGlove 13
5. EFS 13
6. TryNinja 12
6. LoyceV 12
6. katanic97 12
6. AakZaki 12
10. paco92x 11
10. hosemary 11
10. gmaxwell 11

Even if this was a single merits spree, the numbers are incredibly high: 22 merits to top the chart and 11 to enter the TOP10. Compared to other single-merit rounds, this is quite high.
I will start getting merit statistics for a single merits spree! So, 22 merits are the highest on record for a single merits spree! (merit spree 60!), while 3 merits are the lowest required on the record, together with spree #44, #46 and #48: wen two?

Time to call it a day!

See you at the next merit spree!

To be frank I am still thinking how he does it, and of course I also get 2 from him on 2 different post that already gained several merits. At some point I was actually thinking that the bot could also be designed in a way where to merits the most interactive threads and topic of people and whenever they are collected then, he may decide to put the amount per post and then triggers it, it would automatically starts distribution. This is just my personal thinking but I could be wrong.

Hi LoyceV,

I started using Arkham Intelligence recently and noticed it has an import list option. I was wondering did you ever make any more progress with this project? It would be great to get a list of addresses from you if you have one already... I thought I remember you creating such a thing at one point but can't find where it was. A .csv file of "name, address" would be ideal, I can just plop it in there. Thanks!

Quote from: DYING_S0UL on Today at 06:32:45 PM

-snip-
and surely he won't be meriting bad posts, rights? So in that case, how does he handles this enormous task?! Does he manually saves the posts he wanna merit and maybe make a list & sends it to his helping buddy? Huh

I don't think so, I just understood the pattern and looked randomly at posts and threads that got merit. I see DdmrDdmr doesn't distribute its merit on posts or Threads that have absolutely no merit before.

According to my analysis, the bot already has some kind of command such as, distribute merits to posts or threads that already have a certain amount of Merits before.
So in conclusion, the merit that is distributed is a kind of additional support for writers whose posts are indeed decent.

Yes I think so, because it is impossible to distribute 1411 merits manually. Cheesy

Verification - Hash cracking gives me a password candidate. Full wallet lets me verify it actually works and extract the keys.

The hash should be sufficient to verify a working password.

Quote

Trust model - The encrypted file without password is useless to me. I can't steal funds I can't decrypt.

That doesn't make sense, unless your goal is to steal funds.

@LoyceV
You're right. And you've actually helped me articulate something I was already building.
My current workflow asked for encrypted files because it was simpler to explain. But I'm developing a SaaS platform with a trustless architecture:

Client extracts hash themselves (or uploads encrypted data to client-side tool)
Only the hash/encrypted key reaches my backend
Cloud GPU infrastructure does the cracking
I return ONLY the password
Client decrypts on their own machine

I never touch private keys. I never access funds. I'm a password recovery service, not a wallet access service.
My business model is reputation-based. One scam = dead forever. Thousands of successful recoveries = sustainable income. The math is obvious.
Updating my OP to reflect this. Thanks for pushing the clarity.

Code:

Hero of Good: Theymos, LoyceV, pooya87

Not because I have sent nor received messages from these users but from how they are posting.

I like how Theymos banned mixers, he updated the ban few weeks ago. He is a person that thinks very well before doing anything and he always trying to handle things on this forum professionally. I even thought that theymos may not be a single person but people that do meetings before posting on this forum. He is very professional on this forum.

LoyceV can be hard on a thread very well but I think sometimes if he is theymos because his posts are truthful but it carries weight. When many people are making use of the trust system wrongfully, he post about it if there is a thread referring to it. He is good in technical aspects of this forum and he devotes his time in updating his important topics on this forum which is not something that is easy.

pooya87 is good in technical aspects of this forum, he is good in political matters and also other aspects. What I like about him is the truth he do say about the world. He is also a very good merit source, he is not a racist.

Code:

Forum Ninja: LoyceV, JayJuanGee, DdmrDdmr

LoyceV is not in any signature campaign but he continued to post on this forum as usual. I will not say more than that, read what I posted above about him.

I have not seen JayJuanGee in any campaign before but he continue giving merits and posting no only on wall observer in on threads related to bitcoin and bitcoin wallets.

I will give DdmrDdmr because as he is not present on this forum anymore, he is still updating some of his topics and he is still sending merits to few users.

Code:

Bitcoin Geek: hosemary, Cookdata, Mia Chloe

I have visited the technical boards countless number of times. Also some post about bitcoin that is not related to technical boards, these are the real bitcoin geeks but there are many other real geeks but I can only mention three.

Code:

These are the three main events that I think of, they impacted into the life of many users on this forum and they were very entertaining.

Discovery of the Year: promise444c5, AakZaki, Satofan44

I choose promise444c5 because be created Banned Users Identifier, he posted a topic called Verify GPG Signatures for Electrum [ Mobile], he posted also about hardware wallet. You can go through his topic history to know what I am taking about.

I choose AakZaki because of how he bursted people with many alternative accounts on this forum.

I choose Satofan44 because he is new in this forum but he is posting good, his trust feedbacks are bad but I hope he will change.

Code:

Help Buster: AakZaki, lovesmayfamilis, Ultegra134

If you visit AakZaki topic history, you will see how he linked many connected accounts that can increase possibilities of spamming on this forum. He is a good forum member that dedicate his time to burst the spammers. It was him that let us see accounts that are more than 10, connected to a single person or possibly account farming.

lovesmayfamilis is a very good forum member, I like how he is the most active person bursting users that are plagiarizing which makes this forum unique and less free of plagiarism. I did not select her just because of that, but I also noticed that he is active on the AI spam report reference thread that Nutildah created.

I think Ultegra134 is the most active poster on the AI spam reference thread in 2025, reporting AI spammers. This is the reason I selected him.

There are still other members like Nutildah, and ABCbits that is having a thread for those that are posting rubbish on the technical boards. I wish I can select more.

Code:

Craft Master: PowerGlove, Inspace, TryNinja

Code:

Local Hero: Rikafip, joker_josue, Julien_Olynpic [158]

I first selected Rikafip because of the monthly local board statistics that he is losing, it even made my findings easier and better. You are a valuable forum member.

I selected joker_josue to be the second because he really worths it. I even think if I can let him be the first that I should choose but all counts the same. He is really posting g on the local board and I think he is the highest poster if all boards posts are also compared.

On the Russian board, I would have taken klarki but I just have to pick one so I picked Julien_Olynpic but both of them really tried this year posting on the Russian biard. Jokers10, you were trying also, but did your activity reduced later strating from August. But you all tried.

Code:

Miss Bitcointalk: lovesmayfamilis, SatoPrincess

Undoubtedly I will choose lovesmayfamilis, you can read what that I have posted about her on the Halp Buster above for me not to repeat myself. She deserves this.

SatoPrincess deserves to be there also because she is the second person I noticed but I started to notice her more during this December with some topics that she posted.

I do not noticed any third person, probably because I do not check most people's profile to know if they are men or women.

Time will tell. Results over words.

So why are you asking for full wallets when (in many cases) a password hash is enough?

@LoyceV
Good question. You're right - for wallet.dat and Electrum, a hash is sufficient for cracking. I use bitcoin2john/electrum2john like everyone else.
But here's why I ask for the full file:

BIP38 - No hash extraction possible. The 6P... key IS the encrypted data. That's the format.
Verification - Hash cracking gives me a password candidate. Full wallet lets me verify it actually works and extract the keys.
Trust model - The encrypted file without password is useless to me. I can't steal funds I can't decrypt.

Your challenge is a perfect example: you gave me 12 BIP38 keys. Without the password, they're just strings.

What fee rate has been the lowest since some nodes have been accepting less than 1 sat/vbyte transactions?

I've seen 0.15 sat/vbyte get confirmed, but a couple of months ago I waited about a month to get 0.22 sat/vbyte confirmed. It varies

On December 26, many transactions were confirmed with the fee rate of 0.11-0.12 sat/vbyte.
I am not sure, but this may be the lowest fee rate at which miners have included transactions in the blockchain normally so far.

For example, see block number 929,473.

So here's my counter-proposal:
👉 Give me ONE piece of information:
- Exact PIN length? OR

I can give you this, as it was in my original post already: 4 digits.

If you provide this, I'll crack it and prove my methodology.

Lol. No you won't. But good luck trying Tongue

@LoyceV

Fair enough. Your challenge is designed to be unsolvable
without real info - which is exactly why I work WITH clients,
not against impossible puzzles.

When you have a real case with partial memory, you know where to find me.

Time will tell. Results over words.

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 01:38:32 PM

For now, I'd send them with a very low fee, say 0.18 sat/vbyte, assuming you're not in a hurry to get it confirmed.

What fee rate has been the lowest since some nodes have been accepting less than 1 sat/vbyte transactions?

Quote from: Pmalek on Today at 04:25:34 PM

1 sat/vByte is no longer the lowest fee rate that you have to pay for your transaction to be broadcast by nodes. You can pay as low as 0.1 sat/vByte.

I think this is not advisable because the mempool has not become so less congested down to 0.1 sat/vbyte, but 0.2 sat/vbyte transactions has been confirmed.

For faster confirmation, 0.3 sat/vbyte is the best fee rate.

Challenge accepted, LoyceV. 🎯

I've analyzed your puzzle and I appreciate the elegance of it.
My system (Box of Pandora) achieves 200+ passwords/second on BIP38
- that's 20-40x faster than standard tools.

However, I need to be transparent about the mathematics:

[PLAQUE] × [PIN] × [FIRSTNAME] with unknown:
- Country/format of the plate
- PIN length (4? 6?)
- Language of the first name
= 10¹³+ combinations minimum

Even at 200 p/s = 1,500+ years.

This isn't a test of recovery tools - it's a test of human memory.
And that's EXACTLY what serious recovery services need.

So here's my counter-proposal:

👉 Give me ONE piece of information:
- Country of the license plate? OR
- Exact PIN length? OR
- Language/nationality of the girl's name?

If you provide this, I'll crack it and prove my methodology.
If you refuse, you prove the challenge was designed to be
unsolvable - which actually supports MY point that real recovery
requires client collaboration, not just brute force.

Either way, I win. 😉

Amici della board, fellow bitcoiners, rieccoci, anche questo mese, anche se *Ace* non si è ancora fatto sentire, sento la pressione per la pubblicazione del mio report.
Le giovani generazioni giustamente reclamano spazio sulla board, e devo dire che il nostro amico si è dato parecchio da fare... quindi devo difendermi.
Il mio report "classico" è pronto, con i suoi tempi, mentre il report del mio giovane compare è, come avete visto, pronto dalla mezzanotte ed un minuto del primo gennaio.

Quindi, sento una pressione altissima sulla puntualità.
Oggi mi ci metto a lavorare, nel vero Capodanno, il 3 gennaio: il compleanno di Bitcoin.

Anche dicembre è passato; le aspettative erano altissime, ma sono state tradite. Abbiamo dato uno sguardo nel baratro, ma il mercato ha dimostrato resilienza, aiutato dagli sviluppi positivi nelle altre asset class.

Strumenti usati per l'analisi di questo mese:

Bitcointalk Merit Dashboard di @ddmrddmr
Bitlist.co di @tryninja
[CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity di @Rikafip

@Tryninja ha implementato alcune nuove dashboard davvero fighe! Vi consiglio di guardarle. Da questo mese, con il nuovo sito, ho usato maggiormente il suo sito.
Vi invito a curiosare un po' sui vari siti e thread: ognuno di loro fornisce informazioni diverse ed interessanti, anzi, se vedete qualcosa di interessante, e che vorreste vedere replicato in questa sede, fatemelo sapere. Proverò ad implementarlo.

Ovviamente ringrazio tutti coloro che hanno contribuito, direttamente o indirettamente, alla stesura di questo thread. Chiaramente gli errori sono miei, ed è incredibile la quantità di errori, typo ed incongruenze che trovo ogni mese (questo mese le correzioni che ho dovuto fare sono tornate ad aumentare: ben 2!). Vi prego di segnalarmele anche in questa, dato che, per quanto mi impegni, trovo sempre qualcosa che sfugge.

Mi raccomando, discutete e date feedback!

Ora tocca ad *Ace*!
Ed anche questo mese te l'ho fatta, @Rikafip!

Hero of Good: - LoyceV

My example is of a person who, out of everything negative and aggressive, does something tolerant, freethinking and condescension.

I had to look up the word "condescension", but I hope lovesmayfamilis doesn't mean what I now think it means Tongue

Okay. I'm not a native English speaker, so perhaps the first two words would be more appropriate for you, as your patience and ignoring any conflict demonstrate your strength to me. And strong people are often calm. But yeah, your "joke" about enjoying giving merits to someone who's about to be banned (knowing it in advance) doesn't sound like kindness at all. Tongue

Code:

Hero of Good: theymos

I don't have any particular reason for this, I really haven't found any other figure besides @theymos who has been a leader on this forum for a long time.

Code:

Forum Ninja: DdmrDdmr & LoyceV

- In the process -

Code:

Bitcoin Geek: ABCbits, stwenhao & Husna QA

- In the process -

Code:

Craft Master: TryNinja, Hhampuz & taufik123

I took 3 best names from 3 fields that interest me, @TryNinja with his tools that help forum activities, @Hhampuz with all his great campaigns that have a long term time & @taufik123 with all his amazing crafts.

Code:

Help Buster: AakZaki, nutildah & ABCbits

Some users may question why @AakZaki is the first choice, why not @nutildah or @ABCbits?

I've subjective view on this, realizing @nutildah & @ABCbits are consistent on each of these two topics:

- AI Spam Report Reference Thread (nutildah)
- Users who spread false/fake/unhelpful information on technical board (ABCbits)

But @AakZaki is different, he's currently making a difference in our local.

Code:

Local Hero: Husna QA

With all his dedication & my respect, I'm making sure he's the only one there. There's no one else like him in our local & if he's no longer active in our local, IDK what will happen next. He has many masterpiece topics, you can all see them here. You guys know what I mean, right?

Quote from: Cookdata on Today at 07:51:34 AM

Sending the inputs once to your cold wallet will consolidate them as a single output.
I think 1 sat/vbyte is fair to consolidate them now but if you want to go sub 1 sat fee rate, you will have to connect your electrum server to servers like electrum.loyce.club, there are more alternatives servers that accept less than 1 sats/vbyte here

He can use 0.3 sat/vbyte which is more than 3 times less than 1 sat/vbyte.

According to what I found out here, 0.3 sat/vbyte will be very good: https://mempool.jhoenicke.de/#BTC,24h,weight

With 0.3 sat/vbyte, the fee will reduce to around $4.8 which I think is better.

To use a server that will accept less than 1 sat/vbyte is not hard to set up.

I have used 0.3 sat/vbyte countless number of time on Electrum, Sparrow and Bluewallet.

Adding to that he can also check out the LoyceV's 0.1 sat/vbyte Electrum Server Adventure where links of other threads also present about how to use electrum to broadcast TXs with less than 1sat/vb.

As I checked TXs with 0.27sat/vb are included in blocks so he can use 0.3sat/vb to consolidate the inputs or just send directly to the address he wants too that will reduce the fee atleast 3x cheaper.

Code:

Hero of Good: - LoyceV

My example is of a person who, out of everything negative and aggressive, does something tolerant, freethinking and condescension.

Code:

Forum Ninja: - Tryninja

Without his site, the forum would seem one-handed to me. Archives are a treasure trove, disliked by scammers but respected by those who value history.

Code:

Bitcoin Geek: - Jayguangee

You only need to read his posts to fully understand the value of investing in Bitcoin. He's a very patient teacher, even for the most difficult students.

Code:

Discovery of the Year: - Satofan44

A kind of "indicator" of others' nervousness and psychological state, he forced many to remember their egos and excited their pride and grandeur.

Code:

Craft Master: - Little Mouse, Hhampuz

1.A true gentleman who knows his craft well, and it's always a pleasure to be part of his company.

2.He's also a highly respected man who knows his craft and has earned a sea of respect and recognition from virtually everyone on the forum.

Code:

Help Buster: - nutildah

He will always be the best for me because he will find what seems to be buried under the ocean.

Code:

Local Hero: - m2017

He is the only one to whom I can write in my native language.

Code:

Miss Bitcointalk: - igebotz, SmartGold01

1.He suggested to me that anyone can be a woman on the forum. See the post:66225270 Well, let it be so

2.This woman has achieved the position of a source of merit, which proves her maternal care for her people.

Member SFI saat ini lebih banyak aktif dibanding 3-5 tahun lalu, namun tidak banyak yang aktif di SFI mengapa?, tentunya bukan alasan.

Walau saya ini gak terlalu fokus ke Meta, tapi saya tahu penyebabnya, yaitu banyaknya signature gambling.

Member SFI hampir semua ngepost di gambling, mereka jarang pulang ke SFI (walau manajer tetap memberi kesempatan mereka untuk ngepost di lokal setidaknya 5 post).

tentu ini jadi persoalan besar, karena pondasi dasar forum itu adalah komunitas, dan board lokal (walau sering diacuhkan) merupakan dasar utama forum ini untuk berkembang.

disamping itu juga, multi akun juga menghambat SFI berkembang kayak board Rusia, dll. Karena mungkin, akun lainnya sudah ngepost di SFI, jadi tidak ada bahan lagi untuk alt akunnya untuk ngepost di SFI.

Saya tentu tidak menyalahkan dan menghakimi mereka yang main di signature gambling, lalu jarang pulang ke SFI, tapi setidaknya 5 post minimal di SFI dimanfaatkan mereka untuk pulang kampung dan tetap meramaikan SFI.

Quote from: taufik123 on January 02, 2026, 08:08:19 AM

Seperti beberapa thread atau postingan merit potensial contohnya:
Mengerjakan LN Quest dari @NotATether 🔥 GingerWallet.io | LN Quest ⚡Up to 50 merits
Bisa dapet Up to 50 merit dan @Aakzaki Kayaknya udah dapet reward 30 merit dari LN Quest tersebut, saya juga OTW ngerjain tugansya belum rampung-rampung.

Saya rasa itu gak masuk hitungan, karena itu di luar board Indonesia, walau dapat 100 pun gak bakal masuk list di distribusi penerima merit SFI. Kecuali kalau dapat merit 50 di sana, lalu 25 smeritnya di distribusikan ke member2 SFI.

Quote from: MAAManda on January 02, 2026, 11:13:03 AM

... seperti tidak konsisten karena satu & lain hal, topik ini tetap bisa berjalan sebagaimana yang diharapkan. Saya juga sudah memberikan contoh nyatanya di topik member SFI yang lain...

Kalau bicara konsistensi, saya rasa cukup berat bagi member untuk update data thread tiap minggu. Dulu saya pernah mencoba antara tahun 2019 - 2021, di thread Bitcointalk Merit Dashboard Indonesia, dan thread DT 2020 - 2022 [Info] DT 1 dan DT 2 Berasal Dari Indonesia cukup lelah dalam kurun waktu 3 tahun tersebut.

Saat itu saya mencontoh DdmrDdmr dan LoyceV yang selalu konsisten (hingga sekarang) yang selalu update Bitcointalk merit dashboard, sama Complete overview of users on DT1 and DT2 and their ratings

Mungkin OP saat ini bisa, dan mungkin akan kontinyu ke depannya, namun lengah sedikit saja, atau males-malesan untuk update thread selanjutnya, saya yakin akan sulit untuk istiqomah update data selanjutnya.

kalau untuk minta bantuan member lain untuk update thread, saya rasa itu sah-sah saja, di thread 2 saya itu ada juga member SFI yg bantu mengupdate data, malah bagus jikalau OP kelupaan atau sibuk di urusan lain.

*note: kedua thread saya tersebut tidak saya lock, dan masih bisa saya lanjut sebenarnya. Tapi ya karena sudah banyak thread-thread baru yg sejenis, bisa lanjut ke thread baru saja.

Quote from: LoyceV on January 01, 2026, 08:46:08 AM

Don't ask what this forum can do for you, ask what you can do for this forum! (my free interpretation of the famous quote)

I was told this some years ago, that as a beginner, I should think of how to contribute to the forum and not the other way round.
But it's unfortunate that we no longer have new users that contribute to the forum, most are here to milk the forum through the signature campaigns.

Quote from: LoyceV on December 29, 2025, 05:45:50 PM

You have (literally!) posted the wrong address in all your 4 posts so far.

Quote from: Cricktor on December 30, 2025, 10:11:54 PM

Are you kidding me?

You guys are probably having your time wasted by a language model (I'm not saying that OP is a chatbot, I'm just saying that there's very probably a chatbot in the loop here).

Let's see... Posting a malformed Bech32 address, then having that mistake pointed out to you, and beginning your response with: "Thanks for pointing this out — you’re absolutely right"? Roll Eyes

^IYKYK

And then going on to share the same address along with an (incorrect) explanation of why it was wrong to begin with and why it's now correct (even though, logically, there's no way for that statement to be true)? Yeah, that's AI. Cheesy

(This is very off-topic, but, man I hate this stupid "AI revolution" that some people seem to get really excited about. Every time someone manages to convince me to try the newest/largest models and see how great they've reportedly become, I always end up thinking less of the person who made the recommendation. If you actually try to engage with a language model using subject matter that you're very well versed in, you'll quickly see how incorrect it often is and either how instantly apologetic it then becomes, or how illogical it then reveals itself to be. I think most people find it to be a convincing imitation of intelligence because they engage with it on subjects that they themselves know very little about, and so they can't really tell/see just how confused and simple-minded it is. The last time I tried to chat to one, about something very close to my heart: MS-DOS, the DOS/4GW era of PC gaming, and some of the programming-related arcana of the time, I remember leaning back in my chair afterwards, and thinking, "Huh. That was a very nice simulation of what it might be like to have a protracted back-and-forth with an overconfident and extremely well-read imbecile.")

Tether announced they'd discontinue redemptions and freeze remaining tokens on Omni and a few other legacy chains, effective Sept 1, 2025.

If they can do this and get away with it, how are people still trusting Tether on other chains?

All stablecoins are tokens that can be frozen, minted, burned and upgraded by the issuer. There may be exceptions but that is not the norm. That is how things work, you are simply out of date. While it may not be considered normal or desirable, it is the standard and has been for a decade. How else would they be able to freeze any tokens that are suspected to be part of criminal activity, other than when they hit some platform?

Generally many tokens used a transition method and they tend to have cut off date for claims, otherwise they would have to support it indefinitely. They can never be certain if some balance is lost or whether someone is simply not responsive to the change. Often they do this when changing from a different layer of the same blockchain or when transitioning to another blockchain.

Quote from: flapduck on Today at 11:42:18 AM

Also, hunting for a whale/recovery service in public is like putting a "please DM me scams" sign on your forehead. Cheesy

That is a general problem that has no good solution. If someone is not connected or does not have contacts that are in similar position, how else do you find people? You can either announce publicly or approach privately. However, private DMs of this kind are even more scrutinized so eventually OP would just get his account blocked by Telegram, X or wherever else he would try that.

For the other contest, I won't hide the fact that it seems compromised (or else I will have to go through the hassle of charging participants an entry fee...).

No, nothing too serious. Maybe I have a false good idea, or maybe the CMs have less money than I thought

Those are normal Mullvad prices if you pay with crypto.

Yep, there is a 10% discount if you pay with bitcoin or monero.

Quote from: Synchronice on January 01, 2026, 03:55:22 PM

Guys, what's the best VPN for streaming and/or gaming? From my experience, NordVPN was the best, it offered the highest speed and lowest ping.

Mullvad. Works like a charm for me, and doesn't have that annoying thing that in order to get a good price you have to pay yearly sub, like with many other VPNs.

Quote from: Free Market Capitalist on Today at 03:32:16 AM

I wasn't going to distrust them for just one feedback that I consider incorrect but after this to LoyceV, I think the time has come. I am distrusting lovesmayfamilis and DireWolfM14 while they keep those greens tag on his profile.

After the incident with LoyceV, I'll be removing my tag, as it's clear the guy is in agony, going beyond all reasonable limits. I'd agree with his comments about some others, saying the forum is full of people who simply milk it and rewrite the same thing a thousand times, but tagging LoyceV is clearly a sign of illness. I was hoping for a change in this user, but apparently my attempts to see the best in people have been fruitless.
But as for you, Free Market Capitalist, I'd also ask you not to trust me, and I'll reciprocate, as I don't know anyone as argumentative as you, ready to start arguments at every turn, even online. Your arguments with AB de Royse777 were the first example, and now they've only confirmed it. Ignore me and don't trust me; please do so. Tongue

Quote from: LoyceV on January 01, 2026, 10:31:19 AM

If Bitcoin would have doubled, I would have won Tongue

Oh, how silly those early bets must have looked now (including mine) 😁

Nevertheless, grats to the winners and thanks for the GA!

Quote from: bitmover on December 30, 2025, 08:48:25 PM

I understand that Monero had a good performance this year, but holders lost a lot of money holding it.

What did I miss here?
XMR holders have lost money while keeping Monero?! Monero, which had 120%-150% YTD in 2025. Not bad at all for one of the major altcoins.

Quote from: LoyceV on December 31, 2025, 07:51:47 AM

Who's holding Monero? I get the feeling the price is more based on actual usage, and it often seems to move in the other direction: when Bitcoin goes up, Monero goes down (and vice versa). At least in the short term I get the feeling Monero is more stable measured in dollars than it is when measured in Bitcoin.

I guess "who's holding Monero" is the rhetorical question.
Monero is still being mined. What you describe could perhaps be attributed to the fact that miners sometimes sell xmr to cover costs, which are related to fiat

Quote from: LoyceV on December 24, 2025, 08:54:11 AM

You're not hallucinating, just a tad slow Tongue

I never discount the latter being the case. Don't yet look like a turtle, but give me 10-12 years and presented with my picture, one might not be able to tell the difference--but I've already got the glacial pace mastered.

Quote from: LoyceV on December 24, 2025, 08:54:11 AM

I count 74641 Merits in 3 months, so about 25000 per month on average. I'd say that's enough: there are much less posts than when Merit was introduced, while good posters aren't restricted by Merit for ranking up.

If there weren't any signature campaigns, this conversation would not exist, nor would the hundreds that have taken place in the past about ranking up. There are fewer of them than there were in 2018 if my memory serves me correctly, and spaces in them are much more limited; so you're probably spot-on about that number of merits being enough for the whole forum; I hadn't considered that until today. Certainly there aren't a lot of complaints about it being too difficult to rank up, get merits or any of that stuff that was common a few years ago.

It's difficult to have such a high rate. I should review the calculation metrics a little, maybe set a minimum threshold of 5 merits received and 5 merits sent.

Quote from: Outhue on Today at 07:03:28 AM

I am in no way saying this is a good idea on the side of the buyer but sellers do sometimes have good reasons to sell their accounts.

Selling their account means possibly tarnishing their past for the sake of a little bit of Money. I am aware that there are some Accounts worth a TON of Money but they would probably never sell it anyway. LoyceV would probably be able to sell it for as little as 5,000 Dollars if not the double of that. But what is the point?

The way Leo left by asking for his account to be banned is in my opinion the most respectable way to do it. He could have sold his if he quit anyway. But he did not, and it is a good thing. Imagine all of us exchanged our Account owner ship at some point, you would not know who you are talking to any more and always had to make sure the person writing is still the one you used to answer to.

In all honesty. The ONLY reason most people purchase a Bitcoin Talk Account is to immediately be able to join Signature Campaigns.

And that's it, 2025 is over. It's time for the results.

But first, let's summarize the performance of altcoins, which we can definitely call shitcoins.
Only a few shitcoins manage to outperform BTC. The big winners are Monero and gold.

Congratulations to internetional, paid2, and LoyceV.

The most surprising thing is that, for once, the winner didn't select the best-performing shitcoin (XMR). It was all about the proportions of his selection.

As usual, I will wait 2-3 days so that everyone can check that I haven't made a mistake. Then I will contact the winners by PM to ask for their BTC address so I can send the rewards.
(What worries me a little is that paid2's last login date is 28/11. I hope he's looking to buy his third house and he will be back soon).

Thank you for this year, it was truly special (a little thought for Woodie

), and the suspense was definitely there.
Be careful when trading shitcoins, don't forget to take your profits.

For the other contest, I won't hide the fact that it seems compromised (or else I will have to go through the hassle of charging participants an entry fee...).

However, even performing the factory reset does not guarantee complete security, especially if the phone was manufactured by Chinese company. China relevant phones are subjects of concerns about potential surveillance features that may be integrated at the hardware level. So to be on the safe side I would destroy phically the chip ^{on board} relevant for all kind of communication with outside world.

If your device comes with hardware level surveillance, destroying it is already too late. You should never have used it for any sensitive information.

Agreed. It’s better for OP to buy inexpensive, older‑model new phone rather than rely on the used device. Spending a few dozen bucks on such phone won’t strain their pockets too much, but it can help them avoid the surveillance concerns in the long run. At least, that’s how I would do it keeping in mind the goal of minimizing any potential data leakage from my device.

Pada gambar diatas saya sengaja menampilkan gambaran Distribusi Merit oleh Moderator kita dbshck
Saya berfikir pada gambar tersebut memiliki pesan tersirat, yakni "Distribusikanlah merit secara merata dan tempatkan pada tulisan yang tepat (Bukan Untuk Farming)."

Terlepas dari itu semua, Thread ini saya buat untuk sekedar mencatat dan merangkum data Distribusi Merit yang beredar di Sub Forum Indonesia.
Isinya murni statistik siapa yang sering mengirim merit, siapa yang paling banyak menerima dan siapa yang paling aktif posting.

Tujuannya bukan untuk menilai benar atau salah, apalagi menghakimi user tertentu. Data ini hanya sebagai bahan pantauan bersama, siapa tahu bisa jadi referensi diskusi atau sekadar arsip komunitas ke depannya.

Semua data diambil dari aktivitas publik Bitcointalk dan beberapa referensi di ambil dari Ninjastic.Space dan Merit Dashboard.
Kalau ada yang kurang, keliru atau ingin menambahkan sudut pandang lain, silakan langsung disampaikan dan diskusikan.
Harapannya Semoga Thread ini bisa membantu meningkatkan kualitas diskusi dan kesadaran bersama dalam Mendistribusikan Merit di Sub Forum Indonesia.

Sebelumnya saya akan menampilkan Data Distribusi Merit sepanjang tahun 2025, lalu akan di lanjut update secara berkala mungkin seminggu sekali untuk keberlanjutan Data Distribusi Merit ini.

Selain nama yang tercantum di gambar saya juga mau mengarsipkan semua nama yang terlibat dalam distribusi merit tersebut.

Why would I do that, if I can do the same on Mullvad for $0.18? Wink

You can get Mullvad VPN for even cheaper if you purchase from their official resellers network. For example, a 1 year subscription would normally cost €60. At serialcart.de, you can buy the same for €53.49. At digitalgoods, it's €54. Mullvad officially links to these two sites from its website. Perhaps there are even better deals from unofficial sites.

🎯 Conclusioni Generali

📉 Attività: Calo dei post totali (-17.39%), ma aumento dei merit (+15.49%). La community premia la qualità più che la quantità.
🌟 Top Contributor: Fillippone, Ale88 e Plutosky dominano sia per post che per merit. Saverio ha il rateo merit/post più alto (6).
📊 Distribuzione: Le sezioni "Guide", "Progetti" e "Off-Topic" crescono, mentre "Mining" e "Alt-Currencies" perdono interesse.
💬 Thread Popolari: Bitcoin, modelli logistici, FIRE e discussioni meta trainano l’engagement.
🔮 Osservazioni: La board italiana è meno attiva in termini di post, ma più selettiva e orientata alla qualità. Il 2026 potrebbe vedere una ripresa delle sezioni tecniche e un ulteriore consolidamento dei top contributor.

🎉 Grazie per l’attenzione! 🎉

Why would I do that, if I can do the same on Mullvad for $0.18? Wink

If you look it like that for one month, than LNVPN is $0.1 for one day but you can't purchase Mullvad for one day as far as I know Wink

There is no guarantee Mullvad will be here forever, so I like to research possible alternatives.

they are listed on kycnotme, but most of the reviews there are about eSIM and phone numbers: https://kycnot.me/service/lnvpn
and from the looks of it, their VPN have data transfer limits and not that many servers (only 12).
i honestly don't see myself using their VPN.

This is where I first heard about them, on Kycnot website, and they have good reputation for everything they are offering for privacy.
