I do have another laptop with 4GB ram and 256GB SSD, I will probably just use this instead if the old laptop couldn't cut it.
Better! But: there's still a huge difference in SSDs: some are
terrible for sustained writes, and some are just good. Google the type and read some reviews to see which one you have. Still, if you could make it 8 (or more) GB RAM, it's going to make your journey much more fun.
Based on my personal experience, SSD that use QLC flash type or from unknown brand usually have poor performance on sustained write. And if OP's laptop also contain HDD with big capacity, he can consider using
--blocksdir option so blockchain data stored on HDD (while other files still on SSD) to reduce burden on the SSD.

GitHub can be used as a free self-hosted image server.

4. Very reliable for long-term posts.
Imgur was also very reliable for a long time, until they stopped Bitcointalk's hotlinking. There's no guarantee Github won't do the same at some point.
Right! that is basically the reason Talkimg was introduced since there is no guarantee that any other platform wouldn't stop at some point in Bitcointalk hotlinking, I think I will stick with what's already existing.
Thumbs up op but I don't think I'll fancy going through all these processes just to upload an image that I can do within les than 2 mins max with talk IMG. Well before now I wasn't sure this was actually possible however thanks to you for proving it is. There are countless image hosting sites out there but I prefer talkiMG still.
a very long process just to end up uploading the image, I think Talkimg made it simpler and I will prefer that than all that long process even though wanting to host an image myself will be interesting yet I see no need for someone who is just trying to make clarifications with image.

Your math hurts more than the 4 key on my keyboard doubling my key press!I've never been too fond of math - but does it really matter x10 or x11? I hope you fixed your keyboard or got one with AI that will alert you to any strange keystrokes. If there isn't one, maybe someone could invent one - a merits keyboard for BTT with which you will never send more merits than you actually intended.

In that case: go for it! Start by installing Linux Mint. Or Ubuntu. Or any of the lightweight Linux distributions. It's probably best to stick to some of the more common ones. This gives you the chance to get some experience with Linux before doing anything else.
I am currently leaning towards Linux Mint. From what I've read, it's quite similar to Windows in terms of layout.
Just imagine 2 GB as if you're driving a very old car with 4 flat tires. Inflating them will be like using 8 GB, but it's still a very old car.
I like analogies like this, it just makes stuff much easier to understand. Well then, I will probably try the old laptop first (with 8GB ram) and see how it goes.
Bitcoin Core doesn't break when you lose your internet. What breaks it, is not shutting down properly, and shutting down (writing chainstate to disk) can take quite a while.
That's good to know. Now I don't have much to worry about.
Have fun!
I will, thank you.
I don't have knowledge with programming, so I don't think I can try this, but I will take a look.

Allow me to start with a counter question: why do you want to run a Bitcoin Core? If it's for a wallet, you're probably much better off with just Electrum.
I actually just wanted to try it out. I've been reading the guides from learnmeabitcoin, and I enjoy the beginner-friendly approach. I'm not a developer nor do I have the capacity to learn the technical stuff, but I can at least follow explanations that are simple and well laid out. As a regular user, I think it would be a fun learning process to run my own node, while contributing to the network at the same time. From the options that user nc50lc gave, using it as a wallet is the most probable scenario for me.
I would NOT start a full Initial Block Download on a laptop with 2 GB RAM and HDD. According to
acer.com, your laptop supports 8 GB RAM. Last time I tried on a laptop with 8 GB and SSD, the SSD was already the limiting factor and it wrote
terabytes to disk. With HDD and 4 times less RAM, you're looking at an exponential increase in sync time. It's going to take months if not years to complete, and it only gets heavier as
chainstate (currently 11 GB) keeps growing in size.
I want to use the spare laptop only if it's feasible, would there be a notable difference if I max it out to 8GB ram? I do have another laptop with 4GB ram and 256GB SSD, I will probably just use this instead if the old laptop couldn't cut it.
4. Is it necessary to use Tor?
Not necessary. In fact, i would recommend you to use VPN (rather than Tor) for IBD/initial sync since Tor is very slow for downloading 700GB+ blockchain.
I see, thank you. I do have access to WireGuard, so I will most likely use it.
Connectivity dropouts aren't much of a problem but I don't have first-hand experience because my internet connectivity is rock-solid. Bitcoin Core should handle it gracefully.
Connectivity issues aren't common in my place, but it does happen sometimes. In case of a problem with my internet, is it alright if I just leave it running until the connectivity is restored?

He is speaking in the present tense. None of those alts are active. Another thing is if we believe or not that he is not having an active alt account currently. Personally, I find it hard to believe that he doesn't have one in reserve, given his history and in case this account gets busted.
Even if the accounts are no longer active and he no longer uses them, they are still his alts. Talking in the "present tense" to manipulate and avoid direct answers to questions only makes his case worse.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have one. But yeah, I guess I should replace it with at least 4 GB ram.
Go for 8GiB of RAM if this is the maximum as LoyceV mentioned (I haven't checked it), unless the price difference for your "ancient" laptop and the RAM modules required is prohibitive to choose 8 over 4GiB.
Hmmm, I guess I don't mind. Do I have to run the laptop 24/7 during the initial syncing or I can shut it down?
(Edit) I am also worried about connectivity issues and power interruptions, will it affect the progress?
No, you don't have to run IBD 24/7 but it will of course take longer to finish.
Connectivity dropouts aren't much of a problem but I don't have first-hand experience because my internet connectivity is rock-solid. Bitcoin Core should handle it gracefully.
A laptop with a working battery has built-in UPS. Just set it up so that when battery runs low, Bitcoin Core and OS shutdown gracefully.
Pay attention to always try to shutdown Bitcoin Core gracefully to avoid data corruption, especially during IBD but also later. If you have a pruned node, you don't want to force Core to have to redo a rescan which is more or less like another IBD.

Newbie
NefiSwap is using chatbot verbal diarrhea plagiarism to promote themselves:
Over the last few years, many crypto users have started questioning whether traditional exchanges still fit their needs.
Account registration, identity verification, and long onboarding processes can slow down what was originally designed to be a fast and open financial system.
This is where account-free crypto swaps come into focus. These platforms allow users to exchange digital assets directly, without creating profiles or submitting personal information. For many, this approach feels closer to the original philosophy of cryptocurrency — permissionless, efficient, and user-controlled.
Speed is one of the main reasons behind this growing interest. In a market that operates 24/7, users expect swaps to be executed quickly, without unnecessary steps. Removing account creation often reduces friction and makes the process more straightforward.
However, this model also comes with responsibilities. Users need to pay attention to network confirmations, liquidity availability, and transparent rate calculations. While account-free swaps simplify access, informed decision-making is still essential.
Overall, the rise of these platforms reflects a broader trend in the crypto space: users are actively seeking simpler tools that prioritize functionality over bureaucracy. Whether this model will dominate in the long term or remain a niche solution is still open for discussion.
What matters most is choice — giving users multiple ways to interact with crypto based on their preferences, risk tolerance, and values.

~snip~
I don't know if anything similar has ever happened to you, receiving what I would call weird merits. The closest thing that has happened to me would be discovering that JJG recently gave me a merit for a post written like six months ago on page 4 or so of a thread.
Not long ago I received 44 merits from @LoyceV which was very strange to me considering the post in question - it turns out the post was only supposed to get 4, but I'm not the only one who accidentally got x10. As for @JayJuanGee, he is known for reading old threads because I have received merits from him many times for very old posts.
However, perhaps the strangest merit I received relates to a post from 2015,
sent in March 2018 by @Vod. The man remembered that my post was useful to him, found it and give merit.
For those wondering why he didn't do this back in 2015 - the answer is that there were no merits then.

answer not much.
the biggest news I can think of for 2025 is fees can be as low as 0.1 sat and if you go for 0.3 or 0.4 sats they mostly always work.
Anything else new that affects most every BTC user I do not know.
Although some claim the new core 30 is a big deal.
I am not sure if that directly affects every user as much as low fees do.
Sir, I don't know if you mistakenly replied to the wrong thread but from your statement it's obvious you did cause their discussion was about disturbution of merits and how popular Fillipones thread is compared to Loyce V's.
However your reply was about tx fees and the new core 30 being a big deal. Although I'm still pondering on Loyce v's statement "i have thousands to give, but I don't see those posts".

OP, if anyone here is trolling or stalking you/your posts; I think it's best to put them under ignore. Just click the ignore button on them and move on; except they're putting your data out here and jeopardizing your privacy. In a situation like that, report such a user to moderators at once.

not sure if this was the case, but it makes sense as my ignore list is so large the forum times out trying to display that page.
Oh yes. It was the case as was posted by Theymos.
That's basically how it works because the ignore mod (which I didn't write) stupidly stores ignore info in a single column per user like "35,3,...". So each ignore button needs to scan through all established users. The cost of this used to be very little, but it has increased substantially as the number of users has increased. I added a lot of caching long ago to offset this, but the cost is too high now even for that. I need to mostly rewrite the ignore mod so it stores data more sanely. No too difficult, but it requires a somewhat large uninterrupted block of time, which I don't have right now.
The ignore button glowing would make it easier to judge a book by its cover page.
Lol I already see people creating thread appealing for them to be unignored.
To prevent abuse, I'm sure theymos can come up with a complicated formula to base it on earned Merit and other parameters. Say "sum <log Merit>" of the users who ignore someone, divided by <log Merit> from the user himself so it's less easy to make established members glow.
Sigh after I have already written if it was going to be by weight
Since it can be easily abused by creating new accounts or gang wise
And I saw this.
way back people on this forum were very smart, actually technically smart about bitcoin's backend. And off-topic posts in the Bitcoin discussions board were very rare if we see now those.
Even at that Trolls still existed and many still use the ignore button not because the user is a shitposter
But they don't agree with their view.
Checked old threads and found out it was common.

I miss the old days when we were all united against bcash and bsv.
That and about a hundred other reasons--though I might add that whilst there might have been a united front against those forkeroonies, there has always been drama, fighting among senior members of the forum, trusted members going rogue, and a devil's buffet of other things that always gave me a feeling that there was a palpable tension between a lot of different people and that the only thing that kept them from murdering each other was the damage to their forum reputation such a thing might cause.
I'm not done reading this thread, but I'm noticing that some members who are probably on the same side of the issue (whether it's AI use or just general shitposting) are talking past each other, and that isn't something I've seen much of in my time here. I've also noticed that the last few posts by LoyceV sound like ones I could have easily written myself, i.e, sarcasm mixed with fast-dripping venom.

To gather initial feedback and improvements before rolling out a major update, I'll have it running live as an experimental demo for the next few days/weeks, Feel free to try it out and let me know your thoughts:
https://my-zone.net/bitcointalkPlease note that you will need to register an account with your email to access the AI Search, this is just a basic measure to prevent abuse.
Edit 1: You are no longer required to create an account to ask the first few questions.
it's purely conversational and can understand queries about Bitcointalk.
Let me know what you think after trying the demo, all feedback helps.

I'm not sure about that but if you use "

No connection. Your funds are safe" while it's red.
Then, the Blockchain tip's height displays as it turns green.
And synchronization, involves their server.
But it's closed-source so I can't totally confirm that icon's whole purpose.

You may be wondering where is the thread for 2026. I haven't created one because I don't plan to organise it for next year. This ocntest will be the last, at least in this format. I want to do another game, but finding a sponsor is more complicated than I thought. If it happens, I will let you know here.

We have decided to take a different approach on this and have now developed a working AI Search Engine prototype for Bitcointalk Forum,
To gather initial feedback and improvements before rolling out a major update, I'll have it running live as an experimental demo for the next few days/weeks, Feel free to try it out and let me know your thoughts:
https://my-zone.net/bitcointalkPlease note that you will need to register an account with your email to access the AI Search, this is just a basic measure to prevent abuse.
Edit 1: You are no longer required to create an account to ask the first few questions.
it's purely conversational and can understand queries about Bitcointalk.
Let me know what you think after trying the demo, all feedback helps.
Some Screenshots:

This is a question I've had for a while: what do I need to create an account?
When in doubt, read the OP:
Account ____________________This service is intended for exclusive use on BitcoinTalk, in this sense only forum users can have an account on TalkImg, for this reason the account creation option is not active for the general public. Users who want to have an account should contact
joker_josue by PM to request it. The request will be evaluated and if approved the account will be created.
I'm sorry, you're right, I've known about the service for a while now, and when I saw the ANN for the first time, I clicked the link to the website without even bothering to read it. My mistake.

How is your tag helping here at the same time is it appropriate? There are no concrete evidence yet that he is a scammer but you are tagging him because you are suspecting. You can not tag someone as a scammer because you suspect he will be a scammer.
There may not be evidence that he has scammed, but there is evidence he likely naim027 who is littered with red tags.
"Learn Bitcoin" is a campaign manager without any scamming record yet (regarding the debate of he is Naim027 or someone else as a person). He has and is still managing serval campaigns successfully. Your tag will give a doubt to his employers (maybe you will direct those employers to your employer campaign manager: your benefit that I can think of). He will lose business, all hard work. What will be the end result?[/b]
If the user is naim why should he be allowed to continue to operate here? The bigger question why would you protect him? Why would you continue to work with him after all the drama?
You are obviously aware of his situation but here's a little detailed post by LoyceV
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5416864.msg61117985#msg611179851. If he is not Naim027 then an innocent user get punished, lose all his handwork just because you are so called suspicious. We may or may not see "Learn Bitcoin" anymore. If we don't see the account "Learn Bitcoin" that won't mean that he disappeared, I know for a fact that the person behind "Learn Bitcoin" will continue under another name. He may or may not thrive like "Learn Bitcoin" but he will be among us however for your wrong judgement that person will suffer if he was innocent.
2. If he is Naim027 then you are forcing him to start over everything perhaps he will even become more desperate and become a scammer (I can not recall there was any accusation about Naim027 as a scammer). If he scam then you are creating a scammer.
I think you can clear this up quite easily. Is he or is he not naim? I am going to say yes by the way you wrote some facts in this portion. I've bolded it for you. Also, you know his alts I assume? I'm very confused as to why, if he is who we think he is, you would protect him and deceive the community?
Whether Nain027 is Learn Bitcoin or not is up to Learn Bitcoin or Nain027 to clear it. Witch hunting is not my job. You can not deny that as a campaign manager you do not know secrets of many users (I believe many of us faced it that a user opens up to us and tells their untold to us. Even some of us established managers share our secrets with others depending on the relationship with individual. My moral is that I keep such private conversation private but if I see any of them are breaking my campaign rules of enrolling alts then they will not be forgiven)
Note: I am speaking up for a promising manager here.
Why?
I believe we need more campaign managers to make the business competitive and be a global industry. Why would it has to be in between some of us selective members? An industry with a few people eventually extinct and it only benefits those selective people (Campaign fees to earn from your campaign management in 2017 and now are not the same. It was easy money back then), a bigger community get less benefits. We all know it's not an easy job. There are things that not everyone can do to be a manager. It requires skill, hard-work, patience, reputation, trust, responsibility. If member show interests and earn the skill then they are welcome, if someone ask me to teach/train, I will teach. There are some other promising campaign managers and I will do the same for them too. I hope you got your answer of the "Why".

It's silly to enable upload of images, especially knowing that people will not use it correctly.
https://windscribe.com/knowledge-base/articles/hashed-login/I wanted to give away free VPN account on Bitcointalk and I remember I asked LoyceV about that but I don't remember the details of his response (I couldn't just give away it as I remember). By the way, this method is very creative. I can upload an image on talkimg, post here and if someone tries it out on Windscribe, they might get access to a free VPN that can be filled with a surprise plan
I thought that if you upload an image on a website and download it later on your computer, the hash of the image file would be different because of a different metadata (I mean date created & date modified details) but seems I was wrong.
Surprisingly, when I opened the file in Photoshop and saved it and then uploaded on Windscribe, the hash didn't change (did something wrong happen?) but when I changed the name of the file, hash changed.

Really curious to hear how many devices you have connected on the regular basis.
Two desktops
[one is for gaming and the other one is for general stuff & streaming (with the help of a capture card) on a different internet connection], a laptop, an Android tablet and my phone
[the other Mullvad account is for other family members].
- I used to have an iPad as well (because of its exclusive sketch apps), but Mullvad's window for logging out devices was quite buggy and annoying at that time.

I have a unique password for Bitcointalk, very hard to hack with lots of different characters, numbers and etc. After 30 failed attempts, I managed to log in to my account.
This is how people "try" all passwords they use on single a site. If the site is evil, they can store all your attempted passwords and use it to gain access to other accounts you own.
Why not use a password manager?
I know that Bitcointalk isn't evil, that's why I risked. I don't type multiple passwords on websites that I don't trust; I use password recovery in that case if I forget the password.
I don't use a password manager for everything because they are a single point of failure. I use it on a few websites where I wouldn't care much if my account gets hacked but I still don't feel comfortable using them. Maybe I need some work on myself.
That surely took a lot of tries. Currently I'm trying to crack an old encrypted database, that I forgot password of. Tried all the combinations that I knew or can remember and still trying, but damn none of it seems to be working. Apparently there is no other ways to unlock it without the passphrase.
I understand that feeling. I also have an old database, created when I was still a small kid and I desperately need to unlock that (good old memories) but I don't remember the password and don't know how to brute force it. It's a very different file format, a backup of my very old smartphone.

I know people often complain about fair use limits, but I actually like them. Not having a limit means a very small number of customers are responsible for a large part of the total cost, and make everyone else pay slightly more for the service.
2 TB per month is almost 3 GB per hour on average.
It's unlikely that will ever happen unless you know you are going to spend over 66.7 GB every single day.
But you can always create second account, or just use any other VPN like Mullvad for day or two.
Both of you have a point, but 2TB is nothing
[unfortunately] for those who either prefer to watch a lot of content in 4k or those who are gamers & content creators
[downloading & updating game files (usually it's a few times a month for each game) + streaming content and uploading the edited versions to a few platforms].
- Mullvad doesn't have a data cap, but the number of connected devices on each account is a bit low, so I was debating whether to make the switch or stick to Mullvad (I'll probably keep using the latter one).

It's a tempting offer [especially since we can use a single account on up to 10 devices], but what happens when someone exceeds their 2TB monthly fair usage limit?
Offer is not bad, but it's not easy to get native NYM tokens.
It's unlikely that will ever happen unless you know you are going to spend over 66.7 GB every single day.
But you can always create second account, or just use any other VPN like Mullvad for day or two.
NYM's 24-word is the opposite: it's excessive. That makes it more work than needed to enter, especially on mobile. It's not as if anyone can brute-force billions of combinations per second, and even then, 12 words would have been more than enough.
Maybe, but most of us got used to 12 and 24 seed words for bitcoin wallets, so this should not be an issue.
Only negative thing is that you can't recover account if you lose seed words, so better save multiple backups in secure places.

I am puzzled about this just as you are. I have no idea why AB de Royse777 aka Royse777 is defending naim027. Well maybe there is an explanation.
When the AB de Royse777 account was either hacked or sold several years ago (when it was created as "Royse777" by the Russian speaking member that originally registered it) and then ended up with the current operator, there were signs he was from Bangladesh. As we know, naim027 is from Bangladesh therefore maybe there is an affinity akin to some sort of
fellow countryman or
brotherhood type of association.
From the thousands of accounts he could have selected a member or two to employ to help with spreadsheets, why on earth would he willingly pay an account farmer, merit abuser, compulsive liar and chief manipulator such as naim027 after he had already been exposed and banned for first time and then defend him?
This post from the previous page deserves a response from the main protagonist defending naim027 and his account farm, just bumping the post before it gets buried under new posts.

You said it: people will use public images for this. Give it some time, and you can access someone else's account by hashing a meme. They should have created a random hash instead.
It reminds me of brainwallet, where people assume their text is unique or wouldn't guessed by other people. But with image (and few different file type), compression and various standard would make the hash different which makes brute-force more trickily.

Okay! I know my score will be published here, and I honestly feel crap about it!
But, in any case, I saw that @
LoyceV had surpassed the 10,000 Merits mark, which is, I believe, incorrect in the quiz.
Edit: I see. Merit airdrop isn't counted. Still, seeing 10k merits is still a big achievement though.It's insane to see those numbers. Seeing 10,000 merits on a profile is, quite literally, a reflection of a lifetime dedicated to the forum. Even though the quiz doesn't count them due to the initial airdrops or the technical methodology, the visual impact and the respect they command are the same.
LoyceV's case is a special one. It's not just about accumulating points; it's what those points represent. In a place like Bitcointalk, where people don't just hand out merits for free, reaching that number means you've been useful, consistent, and, above all, that the community trusts your judgment.

I've already agreed to not tag God of Thunder for now as he was kind enough to make an appearance and answer my question. At the same time, it appears some handholding may be required to understand why, at the very least, he shouldn't be on DT1. If the constant lying (getting banned, creating a bunch of account while banned, using them to merit & support each other, denying he had alts after the ban was lifted, denying every subsequent alt was his) wasn't enough, there's also this:
If you tally all the merit he sent himself between the full list of accounts known to be owned or operated by naim027 in at least some point in his forum career, we get the following totals:
Cratoon - 43
StarBets - 26
Spinly - 20
God of Thunder - 16
XYes Official - 14
John Abraham - 13
Dic3L0v3r - 8
naim027 - 5
Bitz_Casino - 5
Crypt0S0ul - 3
AnotherAlt - 1
So thats 154 merits he sent to himself across the last 4 years or so, and this is only the accounts we know about. He
likely has several others. Sending merits to casinos you are representing isn't so bad, nor is leaving positive trusts for casinos, if you're willing to vouch for them, but
using casinos to pad your trust list is kind of lame. I just hope that in whatever future incarnation he chooses to take that he'll understand its insulting to think you can get away with manipulating us.
He hasn't changed one bit since he said this:
While you guys can try to match up to much data with other accounts, The truth is those are not my alts. Why not ask another alt and cryptosoul about it? Why didn't they respond here? I was banned and had a busy day with my jobs. I was checking my ban appeal thread every few days. That's all I was doing with Bitcointalk.
I am the guy who created too many enemies from all over the bitcoin talk when I was active. Some from my local community. Some people know about this. It is too possible some of their focus is to defame me.
You better ask anotheralt and cryptosoul how and why they did this and who they are.
Turns out his biggest defamer was himself.
Is there a problem with that?
The topic is about account farmers, which leads to spam. That's the problem.
But there's one guy around here who thinks he's very smart and keeps making categorical statements like that, as if he had the solutions to the forum's problems, and all he does is act like an idiot, especially in this section. And just to be clear, I'm not referring to you, but to the person you quoted.

Somebody who accepts campaign jobs for $50 per week is not a promising manager
~
(instead of a proper manager who will charge a fair amount of money)
Campaign management is a globalized market, and in some countries $50 per week is far more than the average income. Many services don't care about spam, as long as they get exposure, so they'll go for the cheapest instead of the best.
Great, you are presenting a defense for something that literally does not happen. Someone who "manages" a campaign for $50 per week is not reading hundreds of posts. They are looking with envious and greedy eyes at Hhampuz and others while shitposting with their own farmed accounts in their own campaigns.
Going back to the main topic, do you guys think that he can get away with it this time? He has received several positive feedback in the past, and today he has sent the payments for his campaigns. If he continues to manage campaigns and make payments as he is supposed to, he can continue to accumulate positive feedback. I think unless he gets like 17 red tags that's a possibility.
It is possible, he could get away with it if the DT members let it happen. It is up to them whether someone can get away with something when the presented evidence is clear.

JaredIbrahimVanellpBlourNinesolsEverKaizen7soupbetNovaCrestSo much spam from most likely one person with a chatbot, and despite so many deleted posts, they're not Nuked.
I've also checked a few of my reports earlier and a large number of similarly new accounts do not get nuked. It's quite strange and underwhelming to see them being unpunished and keep up posting spam and gibberish. There's a decent chance some, if not many of the accounts you mentioned to be part of one/two major alt farms. As you can see, all of them are in the hunt of acquiring merit and ranking up; I bet you can guess why and what they're aiming for. The neutral tags don't do much, except to prevent future signature campaign managers from choosing them.

He may or may not thrive like "Learn Bitcoin" but he will be among us however for your wrong judgement that person will suffer if he was innocent.
2. If he is Naim027 then you are forcing him to start over everything perhaps he will even become more desperate and become a scammer (I can not recall there was any accusation about Naim027 as a scammer). If he scam then you are creating a scammer.
I think you can clear this up quite easily. Is he or is he not naim? I am going to say yes by the way you wrote some facts in this portion. I've bolded it for you. Also, you know his alts I assume? I'm very confused as to why, if he is who we think he is, you would protect him and deceive the community?
Note: I am speaking up for a promising manager here.
Why?

I don't know the technical details, but I assume you can verify your own address is included in the data the mining pool sends your miner, right? After all, if you mine a block it instantly sends 98% to your own address.
Nope. Your miner does not receive the full block template that contains the coinbase transaction. It receives Stratum work that contains info such as prevhash, merkle branches, target and extranonce space. Your miner hashes a header that is given to it and submit shares (hashes that exceed difficulty 256 for Gamma 601 specifically).
That's why some scammers create pools that supposedly "solo-mine" to your bitcoin address, but in reality give block headers of some Bitcoin Cash pool (to trick you into believing you're mining, while they earn by pretending they own hashrate). Yeah, there's some trust involved, and that's why CKPool is an excellent business; it's hard to beat CK's reputation.

By the way need to create account for uploading the next image at
ImgPeek website or not?
As is currently the case, both login and no-login options are always available, tailored to your needs. If you value privacy, I'm sure you'll prefer no-login. However, if you prefer to save your history, the login option will.
@OP: you're not very active on Bitcointalk. How likely is it your image host is still online 10 years from now?
There's no guarantee as to how long this service will last. However, I will try to keep ImgPeek running for as long as possible.
To support the site's continued existence, we offer a Donate option and RapidAPI (an API for developers), ensuring this service remains as functional as possible.
I've checked the creation and expiry dates, if OP wants to gain trust on his platform he needs to extend the expiry date, the worst thing that could happen is for your platform to go down and with all the images created and posted here also vanish

You're not wrong, but you're not quite right either. An expired domain doesn't always indicate how long a site will last. Generally, newly launched platforms will try to register a domain within a year first while monitoring its future development.
I'm eager to learn about the additional editing features that will be added in the future... I did a small test with the converter and noticed something unusual with transparent PNG files [usually, when I convert a PNG into JPEG, the transparent part turns into a white background, but on ImgPeek, it becomes black]. Is it supposed to be like that?
it depends on the platform, if in ImgPeek it focus on file format if you try the Converter feature.

Is there a problem with that?
The topic is about account farmers, which leads to spam. That's the problem.
I don't think you're referring to the topic of this thread, which is about the accounts of a specific person. If, as I believe, you're referring to the topic derived from the conversation, which talks about $50 weekly campaigns, it's a mistake in my opinion because the $100 weekly ones aren't free from farmers or spam. Even CM had a farmer with three accounts.
Applying this to the central theme of the thread, the protagonist is participating in a campaign with the Learn Bitcoin account, where he gets paid $120 per week if he achieves the maximum, which he usually does. And if it was true that DYING_S0UL is his alt he gets another $80 per week.
The $50 campaigns give opportunities to people who aren't so bright and who, just as they might end up spamming, might end up improving without breaking the rules.
But there's one guy around here who thinks he's very smart and keeps making categorical statements like that, as if he had the solutions to the forum's problems, and all he does is act like an idiot, especially in this section. And just to be clear, I'm not referring to you, but to the person you quoted.

Somebody who accepts campaign jobs for $50 per week is not a promising manager
~
(instead of a proper manager who will charge a fair amount of money)
Campaign management is a globalized market, and in some countries $50 per week is far more than the average income. Many services don't care about spam, as long as they get exposure, so they'll go for the cheapest instead of the best.
Is there a problem with that?
I think it's great that people from poor countries can eat thanks to writing on this forum. I see a lot of condescending and elitist attitudes on this issue. Fortunately, the forum administrator seems to have a similar opinion, otherwise he could ban signature campaigns, or those that pay less than X amount per post, etc.

As earlier LoyceV mentioned above, I raised concerns in 2019 regarding their spam. When I noticed that thread, it was quite surprising to me that they are still doing the same things and haven't changed anything at all. They really don't care about their reputation; from the beginning, they just like to make visible their signature on the forum. They can't realise they are doing nonsense, and that's why they won't build their reputation here and can't draw attention from the gamblers.
Most probably they are getting advantage from red-tagged users and spammers. They think they are getting campaign participants in cheaper. But they failed to realise they are wasting money. Stake are never going to behave themselves since a lot of years have passed, but they are still doing the same thing. Shame on the team Stake.

Just because someone snorted cocaine on a bank note doesn`t make them a criminal.
In many countries,
it does!
But if a drug dealer sends 10 thousand dollars to your bank account you might have problems.
I'm not buying drugs, so I don't know who is or isn't a drug dealer. But if I sell my car, and the buyer pays me to my bank, I have no way of doing a full background check and as long as I act in good faith, I don't expect any problems from it.
And that's the tricky part: with fiat money, governments
want need people to trust it. With Bitcoin, it's the exact opposite: they can't attack it any other way than by making people not trust it.
fiat depends on trust, while Bitcoin’s power comes from not needing trust in banks or governments.

I'm very curious what those "other things" are! What could possibly be more important than the thing that created him a hundred billion dollars worth of immutable money 15 years later? All I can think of is "family", but that's not a reason to give up external projects. So I guess I'll just be curious forever. Considering what was happening at that time (GA's visit to three letters agency, donations BTC to WikiLeaks,
and the increasing dissatisfaction of certain people with the way he works), I think that those
other things were just an excuse to get away from everything. Maybe he knew it was inevitable given what he had created, because a decentralized cryptocurrency cannot have a CEO pulling all the strings.
Maybe he planned to disappear, but some people sped up the process so he left much earlier than he planned.

If I were the same person, why on earth would I do this?
If you're the same person, it wouldn't hurt to send yourself a few PMs just so that you can post them later as "evidence".
No, it would not hurt if that was pre-planned.
but that's just suspicions without any evidence.
Regarding this?
@nutildah, I will speak for DYING_S0UL.
Naim027 and DYING_S0UL never felt the same person to me. I am 100% certain that DYING_S0UL can't be Naim027. I have had telegram contact with both Naim027 and DYING_S0UL. Most of the time DYING_S0UL was seeking suggestions, advices, knowledge about forum and bitcoin related things (he still does when he needed) while Naim027 was a user who was working for me (some spreadsheet checking) like some other users who works for/with me.
