I would avoid the free ones, and just get a good offer. I've used several different providers so far, paid with crypto, without KYC, and found good offers on Lowendtalk.com. Note that not all are equally good, and some have disappeared without a trace.
What specs are you looking for? RAM and storage just got a lot more expensive recently due to the AI demand.

Edit: Before you perjure yourself with more contradictions, remember your forum sent me an email for each PM, including the one on Sun, 8 Sept 2024, 04:48 where you gave me permission to use OgNasty's real name. But now you claim I "doxxed" him?

And of course, these type of personal PMs...

This is a known try-hard and fake AI shitposter. It is one of the rare cases where 4 different DT members have given neutral ratings, usually it tops at 1-2 ratings. I spotted it first a few months before they did and rewarded it with a negative. Do not reward users like this for their mediocre posts, instead they should be crushed to the ground. The other posts that you have picked are fine/better.

[...]
This is also written with AI, well the whole thread, why?

[...]
Philosophy is good, except the last point. Shitposters can fake honesty and effort by using AI in effective ways, they do not even have to make very large or very constructive posts to appear honest. Do not reward "genuine effort" because misinformation can also be result of "genuine effort", instead you should reward people that write the correct things -- that only can be properly coupled with technical depth. "Honesty" and "technical depth" do not go together when most of those posts are generic or false.

Just did it!

I thought it could take some time, but did in a few minutes! Here you go!

Just add &short



The balance might be a little incorrect because I can only see the past 50 transactions.
I will upgrade it to search for the last 100 next week!

Here's an example (adjusted from this table). This BBCode table takes 16365 bytes:

it got to a point that I begin to think whether if you are into all this talent Hunt or contest related activities with the way you professionally operated the entire game,

I'd say it was fun But: it did feel a bit long, especially the part where you wait for the predicted date. And the time to submit a prediction was quite long too, leading to the necessity to edit posts.


Too slow!

A few hours to make a prediction, at random times so people don't get to sleep

I don't think this was used often enough. It was too attractive to keep "saving" for another life, instead of using it to send a malus to other users. Maybe add a 20% "storage tax" on all unused Bitcoin, for each round. So 50 BTC > 40 the next round > 32 the next round.

Signing a message is simple I'd say go for this: Bitcointalk users should be able to sign a message and follow simple instructions.

Even if that exists, you'll get the complication of creating external accounts. I create as few accounts as possible.

I felt there is a need to have a list of important topics that had been discussed in the past so we all can reminiscent on some of these them that can be educative to the Naija board. There are so many topics I have compiled on my noted that will be beneficial to both the Naija board and the forum since new topics easily overtake the good old ones that might make searching for them be very difficult.

Some of these topics had been translated to the Pigin language for those that might find it easy to grab and comprehend in the Naija Native English tongue. I so much appreciate the people that devoted their time to translate someone the topics to our local native English for fluency sake.

Everyone is welcome to peruse these topics and I promise to add more so we can be enlightened to those important topics that might have slide through our eyes.

And what if one day LoyceV add you to his ignored list?  Anyone could add you to his ignore list,  you will have to wait forever for them to view your post. Since there is no way to even know if you are been ignored, this will be of no use.

Show me the deleted posts and I'll answer your question. It sounds like MindlessElectron's work, and it can make mistakes (but it's rare).

That's not true. Or at least: it shouldn't be! So if your browser behaves that way, get another browser.

There was a day I created a thread here in meta board and I was asking a question in that thread and honestly I was expecting LoyceV to reply, because I knew he was going to give me the correct answer especially since the few persons that replied were unable to give a correct answer.

Since I have not seen his reply I started refreshing my device and still I didn’t see his reply, I checked the numbers of people that has viewed the thread and I said to my self, I wish I can click on the numbers of view on my thread and see people or members that viewed my posts to see if LoyceV has viewed it and refuse to reply maybe because he didn’t know the answer to the question.
However later he replied and answered the question and i locked the thread immediately.

Do you guys think it will be cool if we can see the list of those who viewed our thread?

As for me yes after my encounter, I saw a need for it.

I know they are not directly uploaded though does it mean we'll have it being counted as just characters?

Bitcoin has become one of the most talked-about financial instruments on the planet. Every year, countless investors join the market with the aim of increasing their riches. But Bitcoin isn’t the golden goose you can make profits from quickly. It is a highly volatile instrument that demands knowledge, patience, and right risk management.

Before putting your money at stake, you have to learn a few basics first. Here are ten basic things everyone should know before buying Bitcoin.

Take time to know more about Bitcoin before investing your money into it.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that operates independently from any governing body or banks. All transactions are verified using a network and documented on a blockchain.

Not knowing anything about whatever you invest your money into is one of the greatest mistakes an amateur can make.

I think it's very important to know these 10 things before investing in Bitcoin.

1. Never buy Bitcoin simply because someone told you to.
2.Only invest money that you can afford to leave untouched for years.
3.Think in years, not weeks.
4. Emergency funds and daily expenses should always come before Bitcoin investments.
5. Consistency often beats prediction.
6. Not your keys, not your coins.
7. Legitimate investing involves risk.
8. Emotional decisions often lead to poor results.
9. Trading is harder than it appears.
10. Personal responsibility is a core part of Bitcoin ownership.

Investing

• Long-term approach
• Focuses on Bitcoin's future value
• Requires less frequent monitoring

Trading

• Short-term approach
• Focuses on market movements
• Requires technical analysis and risk management
• Carries a higher risk of losses

I think investing is more suitable for most beginners than active trading.


Never make investment decisions solely based on social media posts, influencers, friends, or online predictions.
• Bitcoin fundamentals
• Market cycles
• Security practices
• Economic factors
• Historical performance

Bitcoin has created life-changing opportunities for many investors, but success rarely comes from luck. It comes from education, patience, discipline, and proper risk management.

Before investing, understand what you are buying, secure your assets, avoid emotional decisions, and develop a strategy that matches your financial situation.

Bitcoin can be a powerful long-term investment, but only for those who approach it with knowledge and realistic expectations.

I'm not sure if I should mention this here, but I posted it here because I couldn't find any other place to learn about these things.

A lot of Bitcoiners invest a significant amount of their time in researching various aspects like wallets, methods of seed phrases' backups, and hardware used. Nevertheless, there is one major thing that usually goes overlooked: does it even matter when a device itself is compromised?

A wallet may have excellent privacy features, open-source code, and strong encryption, but malware, keyloggers, remote access trojans, or fake software updates can still put funds at risk. In many cases, attackers do not target the wallet itself, they target the operating system and the user's behavior.

I think all of this raises a few important questions.
Which I have outlined below.

1. How much does device security contribute to overall wallet security?

2. Is a hardware wallet enough protection against a compromised computer?

3. What are the best practices for securing a Bitcoin wallet environment?

4. Do Linux users actually gain a meaningful security advantage?

5. What are the most overlooked security mistakes made by experienced Bitcoin holders?

I would like to hear opinions from both software wallet and hardware wallet users regarding the relationship between device security and Bitcoin self-custody.

Yearly, there are wallets that come into the market offering increased security, privacy, reduced costs, and enhanced user experience. The majority of individuals tend to be reluctant when trying out a wallet because the safety of their funds is their primary concern.

When a new wallet is launched, what factors make you trust it?

In my opinion, the first step that I take into consideration is whether the wallet in question is open source or not. An open-source wallet enables people to examine the codes and find out about any possible threats or loopholes. I also take into account the developers' reputation, security audits, seed phrase handling, and full private key control.

Another important factor is community feedback.
A wallet may have attractive features, but if real users report bugs, security issues, or poor customer support, that can be a major red flag.

Some wallets focus on privacy, while others prioritize ease of use for beginners. Features such as multi-signature support, hardware wallet integration, Lightning Network compatibility, and cross-chain functionality can also influence a user's decision.

What about you?

1. Have you recently tried a new wallet?

2. What is the first thing you check before trusting a wallet?

3. Which feature is most important: security, privacy, convenience, or low fees?

4. Do you prefer open-source or closed-source wallets?

What is your opinion about these wallets?
1. Blockstream Jade Plus
2. Trezor Safe 5
3. Coldcard Q
4. Foundation Passport
5. Sparrow Wallet
6. Electrum
7. BlueWallet

Let's discuss what makes a new crypto wallet worth trusting and adopting.

I don't talk that very good posters like you need to have friends to get many merits, it's your inaccurate interpretation about my post.

I don't talk about myself but about shitposters that farm merit and rank up. I will reach to the Legendary rank like how I got the Hero member rank and I did not complain. It's about shitposters complained or newbies with many merits but still complained while their posts are not good.

It's what I want to say like not many users in The future of Bitcointalk are actually good posters, you can call many of them as shitposters and they got a lot of merit, quickly.

It's like they want to get merit quickly for ranking up accounts but not only this they want to circulate their smerit quickly too.

Because they abuse well, we see shitposters with AI and plagiarism with merit or many merit.

there are people who come on here wanting to rank up fast and that's what their referral told them, they need merits so much .......

Humans care! I don't want to "talk" to chatbots, especially if they only post their verbal diarrhea to (rank up and) earn money.

What's the verdict on Newbie Ribust?
It looks to me like a chatbot spammer who already managed to earn some Merits.

What makes you say this? Who are those people who usually overlook this?

I see a lot of speculation (in both directions). May I suggest to just Ignore each other and move on with your lives? It's the internet, you don't have to like everyone. Nothing good can come out of another long-term feud:

Schon verrückt dass ich dich augenscheinlich so getriggert habe dass du mich via DM als „Bitch“ beleidigst.

Wenn das von dir geschriebene Wort "Bitch" in deiner an mich gerichteten privaten Nachricht nicht mir gegolten hat, nehme ich die Aussage gern zurück das du mich mit diesem Wort via privater Nachricht beleidigt hast. Das Sprichwort auf das du anspielst, kannte ich bis dato nicht.

Wir können es nun gerne dabei belassen. Falls du aber daran interessiert bist das Ganze weiter zu eskalieren, dann nehme ich das zur Kenntnis und werde dies dann ebenfalls tun.

Ich find es beeindruckend, dass du deine Freizeit opferst um in einem anderen Forum einen Fakeaccount zu erstellen um mir hier zu schaden.

Given that you both don’t even reach 1/2 of merits per activity, I’m not surprised you’re saying things like that. What actually happens is the opposite of what you say.


And what 'friends'? I don't have any friends on the forum and managed to reach Legendary. You could say that nowadays after many years I have sort of online acquaintances here as a result of many interactions but not friends that gave me merits because they were my friends.

It would be terrible for the forum to make it easier for the shitposters quoted by the OP to earn merits.

It's harder for people who don't have friends to receive merits because abuse from the other people with friends somehow triggered merit sources to become stricter in distributing merits.

I think there's too much Merit going around already, given that shitposters now manage to rank up to higher Ranks. The Merit system was supposed to prevent that.

Considering how expenses hardware wallets are, investors would hesitate to Invest in them first.

A cold wallet setup with a used decent business-grade laptop is in the same ballpark price-wise.

My suggestion: lock this one, post in the other thread.

I disagree with you, there are quality posts on those boards, we only have posts designed for those boards you don’t expect bitcoin technical posts on those boards because I know what you only see as quality posts are technical posts.
Those boards are designed for a particular discussion and that is exactly what is going on there.
No board in this forum is without some low shit posts even on Development & technical discussions we have such posts and ABCbits is always fighting to keep that board clean from shitposters However, merit distributions are still done in that board but to quality posts and it encourages more quality posts. So you can say because there are some low quality posts in Economic, trading and politics & society other quality post don’t also deserve merit.

Right. In my defense, you mentioned in your application that you see those boards (Economics, Trading discussion, Politics & Society) lacking merit distribution, and that you intend to reward quality posts there. So naturally, I'd expect that a significant portion of your sent merit would be there.

There's not much "flex" in using a compromised private key. That's just stupid.

I believe you on this because I have seen your name somewhere as one who can whitelist a proxy banned user manually.

I just want to know if the number of users that contacts you for whitelisting has reduced compared to when it was newly implemented. If yes, it means that people have mastered how to get across the evil fee easily.

I once found tens of thousands of accounts with the same backlink in their profile. Many spammers have found their way around the proxyban, and some innocent users get banned too, but you don't know how much worse the spam would have been without the evil fee. It could very well have reduced the spam by 95% without us knowing it.

That's okay. What do I know:
Theymos' response to Vod's appeal thread came into my mind immediately after reading this application.

This application doesn't have my support. Also, let it be clear that I do not owe anyone an explanation for it.

That's because they lack good posts that are worth reading. I checked the 10 posts you quoted, and I have 5 of those users on Ignore already. That's not because they make good posts.

Bump 6 years! This post reminded me of this topic:
User redtrusts was Nuked, but his red feedback spam still exists. Wouldn't it be better to wipe every trace of a user when they're Nuked?

It should be a minimum of 10 merit earned to use the Trust system, in addition.

This is just my opinion.

It will filter our all the brand new accounts created to spam.

Members that I see as an established members on this forum are people that are highly intelligent in posting qualities. I do not think I will see a newbie to be highly intelligent because his intelligent and brilliant posts would have given him higher merits and higher ranks within a short period of time.

I still remember when Satofan44 was a member, you can easily know that he supposed to be an established member at the time because LoyceV and many other members will even see it that way. He is better than many legendary members on this forum in posting. There are many hero and legendary members that are not even established or not well established on this forum. To be an established member is not just about merit ranking. You can easily know some as their merits is far higher than their activity.

I just use Satofan44 as an example, he used bad trust history to reduce that for himself.

Although I know nothing about databases, I offer my help in providing data to improve BPIP.
From what I've seen, PBIP misses about 1% of all profiles. If you could check the missing ones against http://loyce.club/usernames/, that would be great

Suchmoon was generous enough to host loyce.club too after my webhost took off. Thanks
