What a record! Two consecutive losses in a row…
.....
I'm pretty much out of the game, still, leaving some money behind, that won't be
enough to buy the life I lost, hehehe...and had a lot of fun the time I've been in the game,
but I'd like to leave my point of view here.
The way the predictions were being made, allowed other participants to base themselves on the predictions of others and somehow favored the final result, and so, halab had the option to use LoyceV's message publishing tool, and I thought this change was very good, but it was only done in one round, I think it could have continued like this, much fairer, you have until the last day to send and after sending the prediction you can no longer edit, fair, you have until last minute to send, but the problem that had that made Halab no longer use it, was because some did not understand well that the word chabe "Delay=x" was important to have added in the message field, because if not added, the tool understands that, by defined default, when the keyword 'delay' is not added, it automatically adds a delay of 7 days to publish, by default, but this does not matter, since somehow Halab also saw the message and can add it to the final result of the predictions, but the problem is to put the delay lower than the remaining days, where, because the message has been published before the final result, other participants may base themselves on the result already published.
Well, I'm practically out, but you who are still in the game, could ask for the use of
this tool to be continued, the game would be much fairer, and for those who didn't
understand the keyword "Delay-x days" to publish, don't be ashamed to clarify
the doubts and be able to do it right, the first time it was used, I believe that
everyone understood how it works, and the next time will used it,
there would not be so many doubts, although I believe that the use of the tool
is well explained, some may have had doubts, and it doesn't hurt to ask to clarify,
anyway, the use of this tool makes the game much more fairer,
and I believe that you who are still in the game, They should ask to continue using it.
-Thank you Halab for allowing me to participate, and I hope that in the next edition,
I can meet the requirements to be able to register and be able to participate again,
and that many more people can and want to participate.
Thank you, I had a lot of fun here.

And with the astronomical rise in SSD prices due to AI demand, 2TB SSDs (soon to be a minimum hardware requirement for running a full node) are costing upwards of $300.
It's not true, HDD is enough if you already use device with lots of RAM (16GB or more) or you store the UTXO set/chainstate on the SSD. In fact, i still store whole Bitcoin Core files on HDD.
You can forget about running a full node on a 1TB SSD, those will become obsolete in a matter of months as blockchain size surpasses 1TB very soon.
That's not true, it's going to take about 2 years.
But it could be sooner if,
1. You also store the OS on same SSD
2. The SSD have high provisioning.
3. The SSD company advertise using different unit with the OS (1000 vs 1024).
On few cases, combination of number 2 and 3 can reduce the capacity to 900GB.
I would add:
4. You're running one or more apps on the same SSD that use the full node. Some of them can take up a lot of space for themselves.
But point taken. There's still some time left for some nodes running on 1TB drives. But even if it's a year or two, I wouldn't invest in a 1TB drive today if I were building a new system for a node. I'd want something that will run for a decade or more without me having to replace any hardware, re-install OS and all apps, etc.
And good to know that a HDD will be adequate for most users, I wasn't aware of that. I'm gonna have to replace my 1TB SSD soon, will consider the HDD option to keep costs down.

What's the difference exactly because I don't really see any here since either way moderators are the ones executing the ban or is the reason for the ban what classifies it as either autoban or Nuke user. From what LoyceV said nuking seems to be an entire deletion of the account.
Let me quote two explanations for you
First is Theymos which says it’s just a name
I only changed the message on autobans. ("Autoban" = lingo indicating a type of ban. They're usually not actually automatic.)
And the a broader explanation by BadBear
There are 2 types of bans.
Autobans. Isn't what it sounds like, it means someone pressed the ban button, but it's automatically carried out, as opposed to be manually entered. Though there is a mod or two running scripts because of the spammers. This results in the message You were banned by a forum moderator, email xxx. Both global mods and admins use this, so it isn't a guarantee it was a moderator, just more likely. I use autoban instead of manual bans for permanent bans because it's faster and more efficient. All bans in the modlog are autobans, and permanent.
Autobans ban the account involved only, you can still log in and do everything normally, just can't post or pm. It also adds units of evil to the IPs used, a new account created using these IPs will need to pay a fee. Units of evil increase with additional bans. Nuking is essentially an autoban+deletion of posts.
Manual bans are only available to admins, and are generally configured the same way as above, though it's possible to increase the scope of the ban to include things like registering from certain emails/providers, ips, subnets, hostnames, etc. Can also add multiple accounts to the same ban. It's also possible to prevent banned users from logging in at all using the banned account, this will prevent them from being able to read the forum and access pm's too though, so I rarely use it. These result in the customized reason for the ban+duration, insubstantial posts or whatever.
Then as for Nuke user it’s simply a ban to newbies with less activity than 30 and when banned all post are deleted. This is much that I know, both Auto ban user and nuke user the same but deletion of posts is the major difference.
Then under this bans we have
Permanent ban
Temporary ban
Signature ban

The difference was kind of explained above. Both types of bans are handled by the moderators, who have access to do that. A report is made, and the ban option is triggered. Newbies get all their posts deleted, not the account entirely, when they get nuked down, while people with higher ranks are the ones whose accounts are being marked as auto-ban.
It's easier to just say when a user is banned and an entire post is deleted, they are nuked down, while when they just got banned without their post getting wiped out, they are auto-banned.

The only thing that one can try to attain after a legendary rank is just reputation, merits don't matter anymore. I just feel there should be something more to it, so everyone would be willing to compete higher than the legendary rank.
Yes if a new rank is added mainly above the legendary I think we will actually be seeing more health competitions coming because just like in the past when it was a thing of bragging rights to get to this highest rank, the new rank will bring back that fun. After the legendary rank the zeal for gaining merits ended except for campaign purposes, I could remember the only time we had fun with those high rank members getting to legendary rank and still getting merits was when we the members were unofficial creating competition for the likes of LEOLEO and LoyceV for who would be first to attain certain merits, since LEO of blessed memory actually left, that also died along with his departure. A new rank will be the only thing to bring such competition again.
My only worry is that lower rank like full member and Senior member will lose more relevance the more just like how member isn’t greatly affected, I think even some campaign managers might be getting rid of some of ranks below Hero member.

One thing I have observed about both types of bans is this: when a user is said to have been nuked, it's handled by a moderator like always, but all the posts in the user's profile get deleted and banned at the end.
For auto-banning, the same when the profile is reported for breaking forum rules, a ban is being given to the user.
Hmmmm I'm kinda confused here... Is there a chance that the system auto bans people if they break rules apart from proxy bans and those evil fee stuff? I'm asking because I initially thought proxy bans were the auto ban you guys are referring to.

That would be my guess, with one change: they brute-forced a strong password. If the password would have been weak, it wouldn't have taken them years with (probably) massive resources.
I have my personal doubts about this. It may be subjectively coming from the distrust I have in the Authorities of my own country and from their lack of interest in solving cases. My Authorities would probably give up in a matter of hours and never care again.
Do you think it is possible that they kept running a brute force for years or that it may have rather been a semi strong Password they gave up on a long time ago and re attempted in the last months instead?
If the cracked Wallet was obtained in 2019 and they have been continuously attempting a brute force on it since, which is almost SEVEN years, that is crazy.
11. Post 66553612 (unedited backup) (by Cookdata) (scraped on Fri Mar 27 20:14:50 CET 2026) in Why not make a rank higher than Legendary? Pros and cons please.:
Pros- It can encourage quality post among legendary members: Some legendary members don't put much efforts after attaining the rank. New rank could be a challenge for continuous quality contribution.
- Better differentiation between legendary members
I hope you know there are two type of legendary account on the forum. There are accounts that earned their merit from 0 to 1000 and there are legendary accounts that existed before the merit system was introduced, I doubt if an account will be active and earn merit only to attained legendary level and then stop posting because they reach the rank want.
Most often, people stop posting here if they no longer active here, you never can tell what people do outside the forum.
Cons- It might encourage rank chasing behavior among legendary members and they start cycling merits among themselves
- It could devalue the already existing legendary rank
- The top will be too high for new users
- Can develop hunger for more higher ranks
From my thinking, the cons exceed the pros
Who is going to chase who?
LoyceV has set the bar so high that the difference is to wide. Assuming 2500 merit is the new benchmark of the new rank, if Theymos agree to it, I'm sure it wouldn't make much difference because we have much people on the forum with more than that merit number. We have about
182 members with more than 2500 merit, more will come when they reach there but Theymos will likely trash this thread usual.

Should we sacrifice security for usability?
Who's "we" in this question?
You can sacrifice as much security as you want: it's very convenient to keep all your Bitcoin in a mobile hot wallet without password. That makes it
very easy to spend your Bitcoin, at the expense of security.
But I'm not doing it, and I'm not recommending anyone to do so either.
Many people just don't pay attention on security until a time they got security issues and their devices, wallets compromised so they lost sensitive information and money. The same with privacy as if people don't care about security, they're careless and very likely they don't care about privacy too.
Absolutely. I have a hot wallet on my phone which is pretty much online 24/7. I've had such a hot wallet for years, which I've spent from multiple times a week, and I have never been hacked and never lost a single satoshi from it. It's entirely possible to have a safe hot wallet. However, I am under no illusion that such a wallet is by far the riskiest wallet I own and is by far the most likely wallet I own to be hacked or exposed to malware. I only ever keep a small daily spending amount of bitcoin in it (certainly no more than 0.01 bitcoin as you say).
Why beginners should pay attention to their privacy

So, did you enjoy this round ?
For you ESG, I don't know if you liked it, but one thing is sure : you lose a life.
Luck or skill ? We will never know, but congratulations Hypnotizer, by winning this round, 50BTC have been added to your account. I have to admit I don’t like what I see. It’s a failure on my part, I will have to fix that.
I teased you a bit about round 11, so let’s talk about it.
First, let’s talk about the reward. The winner will only get 25BTC. This means he will also get a card that cryptofrka will want to buy : the Duel Card.
I’m not giving all the details yet, but you can guess the powers of this card.
But that's not all. The risk/reward concept is something you must be familiar with.
First, the period between the end of predictions and the end of the round will be a little longer than usual.
Then, the first three people to submit their predictions will receive some BTC at the end of the round.
The first will receive 20BTC.
The second will receive 15BTC.
The third will receive 10BTC.
Of course, once the first three have submitted their predictions, they will (almost) no longer be able to change them. The others will be able to edit their predictions.
See below for the technical details of this round.

Let’s take three players: P1, P2, and P3.
P1 will make a prediction.
P2 will make their prediction and quote P1’s prediction. This validates P1’s prediction.
P3 will make their prediction and quote both P1’s and P2’s predictions. This validates P2’s prediction.
Another person (Px) will quote the predictions of the first three players and validate their predictions.

P2 : YY YYY$
Then P3 :
P3 : ZZ ZZZ$

Note for P1 : As long as P2 has not quoted the prediction of P1, P1 can delete his message.
Note for P2 : As long as P3 has not quoted the predictions of P1 and P2, P2 can delete his message. P1 can then delete his message again.
Note for P3 : As long as Px has not quoted the predictions of P1, P2, and P3, P3 can delete his message. P2 can then delete his message again.

I'm no longer surprised by the occasional Miss Bitcointalk nomination
Awww...
I got curious who nominated me as "Discovery of the Year" [...]I tried to find who nominated me
Oh well, here is the answer
Discovery of the Year: -LoyceV
For the things that has been forgotten, he will make you to know it, and he always be on accuracy in whatever he does in the forum, for the discovery, is the best

There should be a valid reason to remove the proxy ban without paying the fees. Sticking this thread won't solve the issues because all the new users really don't deserve free proxy ban removals. Those users really deserve it; they will find and read this post, or some other established members will help them to unban.
I have helped a couple of users by PMing LoyceV, because I know them in real life and I know there is a thread to remove the free proxy ban. If the thread is stickied, then every new registered user will email, and it's quite impossible to unban them.

Hey nutildah, I will send you a GPT API Key, the consumption of the tool is really low. it would be hard to spend more than $1 because i'm using gpt 4.1 mini model. The other tools aren't cheap at all, but it's good to have them optional if other users already have a Key for them. I will also share the Key with Loycev because I really want this tool to become useful for the community.
I know we could build a better process or a better prompt for the detection, but i need a brainstorm with the community about how to make it better.
Alright thanks. Let's give it a test:
So I plugged the API key in 4 of the 5 detectors, and gave it this link:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5577202.msg66505941#msg66505941I couldn't quite figure out how to select only 1 post, so it analyzed all 20 posts on the page. Unfortunately, it appears only the OpenAI detector is working at the moment... The other ones return a message of "ERR".
I also used the by Profile option and this is what the results look like for the most recent posts by xbetz.io:
| Post # | Message ID | AI Detection % |
| 1 | msg66543101 | 35% |
| 2 | msg66539774 | 25% |
| 3 | msg66536145 | 35% |
| 4 | msg66520059 | 30% |
| 5 | msg66509356 | 30% |
| 6 | msg66505941 | 20% |
| 7 | msg66502366 | 30% |
| 8 | msg66502320 | 30% |
| 9 | msg66498745 | 35% |
| 10 | msg66495187 | 30% |
| 11 | msg66472426 | 30% |
| 12 | msg66470133 | 30% |
| 13 | msg66470027 | 30% |
| 14 | msg66466132 | 55% |
| 15 | msg66461845 | 30% |
| 16 | msg66461833 | 35% |
| 17 | msg66457248 | 45% |
| 18 | msg66455622 | 55% |
| 19 | msg66452110 | 20% |
| 20 | msg66448096 | 40% |
I'm willing to bet a lot of these would show up higher in the other detectors.
Anyway, its a good start.

_________________ | _________________ | |
This is second year in a row when we apply the 0.75:1 votes reduction rule and not at only 2 categories, like last year, but at more of them! As a consequence, we have the following changes:
1️⃣ lovesmayfamilis, which received most votes at "Miss BitcoinTalk" (32), remains with only 24 votes, as she won this category last year as well (the outcome of this being that Foxpup 🦊 became the winner of first prize at "Miss BitcoinTalk")
2️⃣ CryptopreneurBrainboss, which received most votes at "Local Hero" (32), remains with only 24 votes, as he won this category last year as well (the outcome of this being that igebotz became the winner of first prize at "Local Hero")
3️⃣ Hhampuz, which received most votes at "Craft Master" (53), remains with only 40 votes, as he won this category last year as well (however, he keeps his first prize at current edition as his remaining votes still place him on first place).
4️⃣ Pizza Day Contest, which received most votes at "Best Event" (42), remains with only 32 votes, as it won this category last year as well (however, it keeps its first prize at current edition as its remaining votes still place it on first place).

Here is UK and iPhone already implementing age verification with latest update for iPhones.
This thing is going to spread to other countries and other platforms soon, unless there is more resistance:
This idea of a law requiring age verification for internet use is one of the worst ideas governments have had in the last 20 years (if not longer).
It's probably best idea for them, since they can silence any opposition voices much quicker.
I don't think all countries will adopt this now, but when one countries start domino's will start to fall.
People were doing full KYC (and still are) for shitty airdrops, so I am pretty sure there would be a certain number of people here who wouldn't mind doing that if it meant they could continue making money from this forum.
Exactly, and they are still doing it for stupid things all the time.
I'm pretty sure my Linux laptop doesn't use its microphone to spy on me, but I've always toyed with the idea of physically removing it.
I would not trust anything coming from Ubuntu now.
Older THinkpad laptops are great because you can turn off many things you don't want with physical switches.
T480 also has mechanical switch for turning camera off, and it's not that hard to detach anything from motherboard, including microphone.

Try it: send a PM at random times, see if it still pops up within 5 minutes. I'm going to sleep now, I didn't create a bot to manually check things
I was being more sarcastic, considering this theory is absurd.
btw. I don't know how feasible it is, but is it possible to enter the exact time when the bot will publish the message?
So, for example, "delay=2025-03-25 14:30:00", or whatever timestamp format is recognisable.

I'm pretty sure my Linux laptop doesn't use its microphone to spy on me, but I've always toyed with the idea of physically removing it. The camera is easily disabled with tape. I buy as few "smart" devices as possible.
If you prefer highest level of privacy then it's better to remove microphone from your laptop as that's not a hard thing to do, yes it's okay to cover camera with a tape that's what I've done myself. Since there's no use of laptop camera for me and that's why disabling was the best choice, by the way it sounds good to remove the microphone from the laptop.
The main devices we have spying all over the house are phones. They're really terrible: the battery drains quickly, so you know it's doing something all day. You can't physically remove the microphone, as that would negate the main function of a phone. I'd be totally fine without a front camera, but tape on the touch screen is ridiculous. The rear camera is too convenient to permanently disable it with tape. And even if I don't bring my phone, someone else still has one that does the same. So that makes phones the perfect device to spy on everyone.
We can't do anything with the phones and that's the bitter truth, although it's possible to physically remove cameras from the phones because most of us don't really use those cameras at all but even doing that is not going to be any helpful because we can't convince other around us to remove the cameras from their phones as they'll consider as mad or someone with overthinking issues. The smartphones are the best devices for the ones who want to spy on us and we can't do anything about that. I still see people who use feature phones to have maximum privacy but still they can't have full privacy because others around them will always have smartphones with good cameras and microphones.

use BIP38 to take encrypt BIP39 seed phrase Original Topic: Using BIP38 to encrypt BIP39 seed phrase Author:
LoyceV
I don get dis idea for years, and I go fit complete am nau big shout out to
WanderingPhilospher wey dey help find vanity addresses.
BIP38 encryptionEver since I read
I dey BIP38 curious, abeg help me out!, I don dey impressby BIP38 encryption. Dat topic show say $1000 no go dey enough to crack password "zLwMiR" in 2 years, even after many hints. E jus too dey expensive in terms of computing di power to take brute-force even a simple password.
Encrypting seed wordsI no con de feel comfortable with the balance between how I go take keep the seed seed phrase secure and how I no go take lose access myself. E de always feel like say na loose guard.
So, how about we combine di two?
BIP38 meets BIP39Na di idea be dis: BIP39 uses 2048 words. In
loyce.club/other/keys.txt (which you fit copy for yur air-gapped computer), you go find am not compressed Legacy Bitcoin address for every of di BIP39 words. Every Bitcoin address dey starts wit a word, separated from di rest of di address by number.
Example:
abandon:
1AbANDon25kw25M4ioLdPfLxZ1FCwzF8DY 5JDY3hzX2GnBbbExHaXjnbsjoPeFBQko9WxtaTGMi2GhYRBjtsb
If you encrypt dis private key, you dey encrypt d word "abandon".
Why?I dey like use simple tools wey been dey around bifor bifor. Di two BIP38 and BIP39 dey quite intuitive, di two fit easily be handled on di air-gapped computer wey no go ever go online again, di two dey suppored by many wallets, and di two fit easily dey confirm
from scratch bifor funding any of di addresses wey it creates. Work dey to much for dis, but I no go mind as dis go gives me long-term peace of mind and I no go dey do dis every time. I no go mind dat e go takes me a few hours to do am properly.

Print di above go be my backup.
How?Start wit a proper air-gapped offline system. Any old laptop wey get 8 GB RAM go do am. If you no get any one, you go find second hand laptop for less dan di price of a decent new hardware wallet. Remove yur ethernet cable, close di curtains. If you dey suspicious, you fit physically remove all di hard drives and di Wireless modules.
Get a Linux LIVE DVD, use
Ubuntu,
Knoppix or
Tails for example. I dey prefer DVD over USB so dat I go dey
sure sey nothing dey save. I use exteral DVD drive wit a Knoppix DVD wit dis boot-option:
knoppix64 toram
After you load am wit dis option, di DVD drive go be remove.
HardwareYou go also need a printer. Not wireless one o, but di one wit old fashion cable wey good. I dey like old Laser printer wey cheap. If e too dey new, chances dey sey e no go dey support by yur Linux LIVE DVD. Test am before you continue.
SoftwareUse USB stick (or jus burn anoda DVD) to copy
bitaddress.org (look for di Github link),
Ian Coleman's Mnemonic Code Converter and
keys.txt to yur air-gapped system. Use
Tor Browser to download to take improved it privacy. I never test d command line software for BIP38 encryption and decryption yet. Dis go make am go faster, but as for dis post I go dey use di basic tools.
Open "Bitaddress" in Firefox, and go to di Wallet Details.
Depending on yur Live Linux you go need to enable di scripts to run di browser. Enter di private key, tick "BIP38 Encrypt?", and enter di passphrase. Encryption dey take time (na di reason why we dey do dis).
E dey up to you if you wan use different passwords for each seed word, but it likely dey safer to use jus one. If you wan make am dey more difficult, jus make it longer.
Scroll down to get di BIP38 encrypted private key (start am wit 6PR).
Check am if di private key make di correct seed word. If mistake dey for my keys-list, make una let me know.
Depend on di Linux DVD you dey use, you go likely find LibreOffice or at least AbiWord. Use dis to temporarily store di BIP38 encrypted seed words. Add numbers for yur own convenience. Switch the page direction to landscape, choose a fixed width font, and make di font large enough to tek fill di entire page with keys (a small font make am difficult to separate di characters in for example 8BB88B8BB8B, S55SS5S5S5 or KXXKKXKKXK).
Print am, print am again, and laminate am. Store am well.
No mess up when you dey handle seed phrase and creating backups for yur future wealth. Make plenty backups!
Check, and double check amAnd check again o! Better to dey safe better pass dan dey sorry. Confirm am and mek sure sey you fit restor yur seed phrase from yur backup
from scratch (and so on freshly restart air-gapped computer).
Tek time to tek type all di encrypted keys to an air-gapped computer to dey sure sey you fit restor yur backup from yur paper backup. Blind typin dey helps a lot.
As you dey do am: na di good time to tek use your air-gapped system to confirm am you fit use Ian Coleman's Converter to make anoda one as di same Bitcoin address as yur wallet give you. Dis one should work, and by testing it
before you need am you know for sure sey you fit make anoda keys if you need am.
RememberMAKE YOU NO lose guide yur password! As di
BIP38 curious-topic tek show, you no go be able to brute-force am (which, after all, na di reason you dey use encryption). E fit good to keep anoda backup anyway, for example wey u go
stamp yur seed phrase to iron washers. Dis go allow you to keep backups for di same seed for different places wit different danger level.
Why no jus extend di seed phrase wit passphrase?"Jus" a passphrase (dey also call am13
th/25
th word) e no add strong encryption if somebody find yur seed word backup. Besides, you fit still add a passphrase to yur BIP38 encrypted seed phrase.
Work dey progressMake I know if dey get anything wey I dey miss, and I go add am to dis quick guide. E no be fool-proof yet,
olodo people wey no understand wetin dem de do make dey no dey handling private keys.
No spam abeg.Make we dey control ourselves against spam. Yur discussions and questions dey welcom.
warning I go hope say I no go need tell anybody not to put money for any of di addresses wey dey my keys-list, but any way me I go do am: if you put money for dem, pesin
go move yur money. Like within seconds.

Everyone else don't have to download whole blockchain, if they use guide that mentioned by LoyceV earlier. In case it's not obvious, it's mostly trustless and work with pruned node as well.
It should be integrated into the chain. A ~9GB download sure makes things quicker; if an Armageddon block is created every 50-100k-th block (once per ~1-2 years).
IMO it's very unlikely to happen, since it require either soft or hard fork. But the UTXO snapshot file on that guide also have about 9GB size and created on block height 840000, so you only download 9GB file and all blocks after that block height.

What you’re proposing sounds neat, but it breaks Bitcoin’s core idea: verify, don’t trust. A snapshot (“new genesis”) would require everyone to trust that balances are correct, instead of verifying them from history. That’s a fundamental shift in the trust model:
https://bitcoin.org/en/full-nodeYou’d gain convenience, but lose one of Bitcoin’s strongest guarantees.
Once again: my suggestion is to add the Armageddon
into the blockchain as a special block.

The kvm server I'm using (and I believe LoyceV as well) is hosted by
ServaRica. It hasn't been 100% problem free, but the issues I've had are minor and quick to resolve themselves. I'm running a
publicly accessible and announced SPV server using Fulcrum as the engine.
I've never ran the production version of mempool.space, but I've ran my own personal use version for years. It's possible to run mempool.space with only bitcoind as the backend, but it runs faster with both bitcoind and an SPV server to draw transactions from. From what I understand the production version runs best with blockstream electrs as the SPV server, but I don't know if the other common SPV servers would provide much less performance. I've used ElectrumX and Romanz Electrs and had good results with both.
I'm sure more information could be had by asking the mempool.space development team. They tend to be pretty active in the Matrix chat room:
https://matrix.to/#/#mempool.support:bitcoin.kyotoWhen I have some time I'll be setting up the personal version in a docker container on the same server I'm hosting Fulcrum.

I saw this and I appreciate the time you put into creating it. I haven't been able to use it yet b/c of this:
To use the AI tools, you will have to pay with your own tokens.
I know a bit about API but never tried to get tokens. I imagine its not that hard. I've just been able to do what I want quick enough on my own so far. But your tool could certainly be used to scan posts
en masse and flag posters for manual review. Actually it could probably used in the process theymos started to outline a few months back.
Hey nutildah, I will send you a GPT API Key, the consumption of the tool is really low. it would be hard to spend more than $1 because i'm using gpt 4.1 mini model. The other tools aren't cheap at all, but it's good to have them optional if other users already have a Key for them. I will also share the Key with Loycev because I really want this tool to become useful for the community.
I know we could build a better process or a better prompt for the detection, but i need a brainstorm with the community about how to make it better.

The only thing I think, to make it even better, not that I'm suspicious,
but Loyce is in the game, and the tool account is his, it would be fair if he passed the account credentials to Halab, and he changed the password and after the contest take back the credential's account, etc... To make sure he won't be looking at the other predictions,
It's not that you're suspicious, but you've planted a worm of doubt in us.
Does LoyceV really manually approve and publish all received PMs to his automated PM publisher bot, or just close his eyes when he sees a PM on LoyceVs PM publisher. Or maybe there's even a third option
He was the first to send his prediction, I believe, precisely to avoid
this type of conversation.
As he mentioned, he hasn't logged into this account in a long time,
and posts are automatic, without your approval.
But if someone sends sensitive content, does he have to delete it,
and or did he previously approve it? good question yours too.
I had been wondering

It's my account. I couldn't save PMs without having access myself (but I don't bother checking them).

It's not that you're suspicious, but you've planted a worm of doubt in us.
Does LoyceV really manually approve and publish all received PMs to his automated PM publisher bot, or just close his eyes when he sees a PM on LoyceVs PM publisher. Or maybe there's even a third option

Now it's time to rebalance everyone's chances in this game. There are too many rich people and too many poor people.
So, Hypnotizer, you must take half of the
BTC from
3 participants (it can be you, you are one of the rich), add up the total you take and divide it by 3 (rounded down), and give that amount to 3 people who have 0
BTC (it can’t be you, you are one of the rich now).
So, I’ll start by choosing “the poor people” to gift the rebalance first…
Let’s welcome to the stage…ESG

and comes back without fish, he's called a 'shoemaker', hehhehe,

now the predictions are fairer.

why most people choose “1337”
This is my understanding of it but LoyceV knows better for sure ( that guy knows everything I hate him
)
It was all about being "elite." Back in the day, having elite status on old bulletin board systems meant you had access to the cool, secret stuff. So hackers started using "leet" as a slang version of "elite" to describe themselves and their skills.
So basically leet (or 1337) is hacker talk where you replace letters with numbers and symbols. It started in the 80s on old BBS systems as a way to seem "elite" and bypass filters. Like "hacker" becomes "H4x0r" or "ass" becomes "@$$." Now it's just an internet meme and shorthand thing gamers and coders use.
The whole number-and-symbol thing (like 1337) was just a visual pun on the word "elite" and a way to prove you were "in the know."

I really did NOT expect to read this when I clicked on your Topic. What is the excuse they are using for this Law even? Know Your Customer, it was Anti Money Laundering. Porn websites, it was that kids had access to them. Linux Age Verification is for what, so kids can not learn to use the Terminal? Or maybe they are afraid that kids will draw dicks on GIMP.
What the fuck. I could look up the excuses right now but I do not want to fry my brain cells. It is not even worth typing it out in the search bar.
On the other hand however. We should thank the Politicians bringing this diarrhea dream to reality. Not because it attacks particularly the main Open Source Operating Systems we have left but because we can at least now see who actually stands strong for their fundamental values and who folds in front of this stupidity. And to see Ubuntu on the list of submissive Distributions is not even surprising at all. It only confirmed some of my doubts about it.

I'd like to see privacy laws enforced on social media: that will be the end of posting pictures of people without their consent, and it will be the end of sharing contact lists with messengers. Basically, it will end social media as we they know it.
You are boring. We finally get the Snapchat and Meta Smart Glasses we can use to never live any fun moment again because Facebook MUST see it while you are stuck in your boomer era of paranoia!
You see. This is why the best laws and opinions come from Politicians between 60 and 80 years old. Having been born 688 years ago, you are definitely out of your prime now which explains why you are having these hopes.

It's going to be a roulette "game" that picks the exact same winner each time it's "played". That's going to confuse your participants even more!
It’s not confusing since it will be just use as a video proof to backed the result generated on the raffle manager.

Thanks for sharing this wheelofnames, I didn't know it.
I liked the idea to have some visual when clicking the submitting button. But the roulette might not be the best illustration, as it always give the same result. I tought of a dice, which would be the same problem.

Nice try to twist things around.
Not that much of a twist. You complain about a few GB more, so everybody else should download TB more.
Everyone else don't have to download whole blockchain, if they use guide that mentioned by LoyceV earlier. In case it's not obvious, it's mostly trustless and work with pruned node as well.
1. Does it matter where I get the snapshot dat file from? No; Bitcoin Core will only load a snapshot with an aggregate UTXO set hash that matches one that's hard coded into Core.
3. Can I use this to sync a pruned node? Yes.
Although who knows if Bitcoin Core ever will make this feature more user friendly.
And it's not about me. It's a suggestion to make it easier for everybody who wants to run a node so they don't have to trust a 3rd party.
FWIW, some light wallet don't trust 3rd party that much because it perform SPV. The 3rd party can easily not reveal certain related TX, but other attack is more difficult/expensive.

I'm running a public Electrum server that has been used to send thousands of transactions and can be used by anyone who doesn't want to download the full blockchain. What's your contribution to Bitcoin?
You accused me of twisting things around, and now you play the "I run a server and if you don't contribute, you are not eligible to make suggestions" card?

I could no longer find my way around without the watchlist. It's one of the best tools the forum has; with it, you can navigate the forum for hours before "running out of things to do."
Therefore, BlackHatCoiner, start using the watchlist and your life will change here on the forum.

But the real question, could this affect the forum? I don' think so, The forum ha global users, such policy is only applicable on sites that falls to jurisdictions of EU or area implementing this.
Social media are even more ''gloal'' than forums, and they are starting to implement this.
I even saw that Discord started with this crap, and reddit is moving in that direction.
I would genuinely leave the forum if I was forced to hand over an ID and selfie to post here.
I would probably do the same thing a leave.
I am sure many members would just pay someone from other countries to ''kyc'' them.

Only LoyceV can know this issue better because if he wants to, he can pin it and if he doesn't want to, he can't. If it is seen from your point that there have been enough threads this month and LoyceV has already made this thread in a better way and it contains enough details, then we should not create new threads. The only way to avoid such a rush is to pin it so that the complete details about it can be seen from there. Such information that is necessary in our form, one of which is this, it is better to pin it so that more threads and useless questions will be avoided. Our form has a better performance on every question and also gives its solution, but some people have made it a habit and are wasting people's time, so I will also correct it for the reason that it is better to pin it.

The board is writing beginners and Help and if you are new on the forum and you are going through the forum to get a solution for something that happened while creating an account, believe me you will likely visit the beginners and Help because you believe as the name says you will find help over there, so thread like the one we are talking about should be in beginners and Help board because that’s where newbies with visit first and not the meta board.

The reason a newbie is banned can directly be seen on their account when they visit this forum. It is located at the top part of the forum and housed in red so that the newbie can easily see it.

my suggestion is to include the Armageddon block(s) in the blockchain, so you can do both: verify from the Genesis, or trust the Armageddon.
As a full node owner, I don't really need an extremely large block adding many additional gigabytes to my blockchain just so that other people can have a smaller blockchain.
You opted for a full node, getting close to 1TB in size, and because of a few GB more, you want that everybody else also downloads and verifies 1TB instead of starting with just a few GB?
Sorry, but that sounds absolutely egoistical: "I don't want it, so let's keep it bad for everybody else".
Ever thought that the ever increasing chain size might support centralization, because it is getting less interesting and feasable to run your own node?
Decentralization was the big point of Bitcoin.
