Over 1 in 3 cards wins a prize in the range we provided.

Over 1 in 3 cards wins a prize.  How is that "not one card funded"? We've also signed a message with 0.5 BTC, registered a UK company with real names on public record, and built a verification system. What has the anonymous casino in your signature done?

We just told you over 1 in 3 cards wins a prize. How are we "only selling bad cards" if a third of them win? Players can see their results, verify their game, and winners receive on-chain payouts. Where exactly is the scam?

Fair point on terminology. The system does exactly what our verification page says it does.
> Before you even scratch your card, the outcome has already been determined and cryptographically committed. <

You answered your own question.

Firstly,  We'd appreciate keeping the conversation professional and positive — we're happy to answer tough questions but not through insults.

That said, the questions are fair, so here are the answers.

On odds:

Over 1 in 3 cards wins a prize. Prizes range from 100 sats to 100,000,000 sats (1 BTC).

We don't publish a full breakdown — same as BOTB, Omaze, and other prize competition operators in the UK. Prize competitions aren't required to disclose detailed odds under UK law. Please search and tell us the official odds declared by BOTB.

On client seeds:
Fair technical point. Here's what our system proves and what it doesn't:
What it proves:
- The server commits to a hashed outcome before you scratch
- After the game, the seed is revealed and you can verify the hash matches
- The outcome cannot be changed after the game starts
Why we generate the client seed server-side:
SatScratch operates more like a deck of scratch cards than a slot machine — outcomes are pre-assigned(like a real scratch card that you buy), not generated per-spin. Letting players inject their own seed into a deck-based system doesn't make sense structurally. Traditional casino-style provably fair is designed for per-bet RNG, which is a different model.
The commitment scheme guarantees your specific card wasn't swapped after the fact. That's the integrity it provides.

OP, you were asked this twice now, but for some reason you seem to ignore it. why is that?
i think it's very much necessary that you publish the odds of winning, ofc unless your odds are very fucking terrible, which could explain why you do not want to answer.

that's not provably fair tho. you need to give players an option to add a client seed after you generate the server seed, else, what's stopping you from giving them losing server seeds?

If you are comparing yourself to the reputable casinos who are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars every day for years, I am sorry but you are no match. Recently one platform did the similar thing which IMO boosted their credibility. IMO, this is the right way to go.

I would even argue that it is worse than gambling because of extra knowledge based barrier But it is not much of a concern as players are informed beforehand. You can not force stop someone to buy a lesser product. 

How to hire? Need to budget it. Why insurance? Play if you win and we dont pay please. come back to us.


Good question sLoyceV — happy to address all of them.
"Why post on the Gambling board?"
Fair point. It's the closest fit on the forum — there's no "prize competitions" board. Happy to move it if mods think there's a better home for it.

"UK residents only — add to title"
Good suggestion. Will do.

"Is it provably fair?"
Yes. Every game has a cryptographic hash commitment shown before you scratch. After the game, the server seed is revealed and you can verify the hash yourself. Full explanation here: SatScratch.com/provably-fair [/isze] 

"Sounds like a loophole"
It's not a loophole — it's established UK law that's been in use for decades. BOTB (Best of the Best) has operated prize competitions since 1999, is listed on the London Stock Exchange, has paid out over £90M in prizes, and has never held a gambling licence. Omaze UK gives away million-pound houses the same way. Every newspaper phone-in quiz that says "answer this question to enter" uses the same structure. The Gambling Commission themselves distinguish prize competitions from lotteries in their published guidance. It's not a grey area — it's a well-defined legal category.


KYC
Identity verification is only required for large prize claims — not to play. It's a legal requirement for us as a UK company to verify winners above certain thresholds. Nobody needs to show ID to buy a card or play. We limit buying to 1000 GBP over a 24 hours period.

Congratulations LoyceV, love didn’t distract you (is a bot capable of feeling love ?) and you managed to predict the right BTC price. Your account has been credited with 50BTC.
Mr. Magkaisa, by choosing you, LoyceV gave you a nice little gift, since for the next round you will get a 0.5% bonus.
 
Sorry xLays, you need to stay focused on the BTC price. You lose a life.
Examplens, I’m sorry to tell you this, but your romance with xLays smells like a toxic relationship. For the next round, you will get a 0.5% malus.
 
Alright, we’re finally done with this love bullshit. I need to vent some rage right now !
Back in the day, whenever I needed to cool off, I used to play Quake. What a pleasure it was to frag people with the railgun under Quad Damage... Oh wait, what if I activate Quad Damage for round 4 ??
Just one piece of advice : don’t finish in the bottom four.
After that, I wil have an exclusive offer for the winner.
 
DAH... DAH... DAH !

Round 4 : Quad Damage activated !
 
What will be the price of Bitcoin at February 23, 2026, 12:00:00 AM (BTC closing price on 22/02/2026) ?

Itu juga yang saya pahami, pencantuman sumber. Hanya saja jika pada setiap diskusi terus menerus demikian tanpa ada input darinya sebagai manusia, maka akan menjadi aneh karena yang diskusi malah bot.

Penafsiran lanjutan bisa saja berbeda-beda. Dalam hal ini, yang saya baca —saat ini, theymos belum menyebutkan secara spesifik dimana saja tempat yang tepat yang dimaksudnya, dan ini juga bisa berpotensi memunculkan perdebatan sebagaimana yang disebutkan kawetsriyanto sebelumnya.

Terjemahan langsung menggunakan mesin terkadang menghasilkan kalimat yang cukup aneh terutama jika dibaca oleh penutur asli bahasa tersebut.
Namun disisi lain, kalimat yang coba dirapikan agar bisa lebih dimengerti kadang malah dideteksi 100% AI.

Penasaran juga saya coba periksa teks sebelumnya melalui beberapa AI Detector selain dari yang digunakan agan Rico, hanya sekedar untuk mengkomparasinya:

To avoid complaints, it is better it is part of the rules. It is better the campaign manager to be the one that will go through the posts and decide if he should count the short post or not count it.

I think you missed some of previous posts.
As already said by LoyceV and Rikafip, Ivystar5 probably created a new account to appeal the ban because their main account was temporarily banned from posting and the signature ban was not the only restriction applied to the account.

Yes, sort of. I had no expectations how my Fulcrum will serve its data job. All I want is it to finish the sync in a reasonable time.


I tried the 1000 addresses collection with public Electrum servers. Oh boy, that didn't age well.

My first attempt was to choose one or two servers manually, e.g. electrum.emzy.de:50002, but this one kicked the connection after about 8min of sync. My wallet could reconnect but it didn't last long. So, I conclude to get banned for exhaustive resource demand.

I tried another public server but my wallet kept resetting "Synchronizing..." and spewed error messages. I aborted trying to stick to one particular server (electrs or ElectrumX, not another Fulcrum server, as long as the server banner shows what kind of a server I'm connected to).

Next attempt was to switch to "Auto-connect" mode and hope this works better? Well... my wallet somehow found a "patient" server 34.18.69.244:50002, but even after ~7h30m sync wasn't finishes, maybe 2/3 through until that Electrum server gave up on me.

Not sure how patient I will still be today, other servers keep disconnecting...
This is exactly what I hated with public servers, when I did some occasional blockchain digging and research. You stumble over address histories that simply aren't served gracefully.

I had such issues with my personal electrs server, too, which I couldn't configure away. That's why I switched to Fulcrum which simply works very gracefully so far. It finishes the serving job! That the receiving Electrum wallet sometimes chokes hard is another story to be examined.


I'll likely give it a try. Am genuinely curious how this will turn out.

I haven't understood something, I read on the previous topic that the OP was signature banned, why is he creating a topic from a new, secondary account, since he can also post from his main account? Dude, you got what you deserved and your reply that @TypoTonic quoted here is basically an admittion of guilt; you said you were fine with whatever decision was taken, which means you knew what was possibly coming to you, but perhaps, you didn't believe it have such an outcome.

You'd be way better off taking responsibility of your actions and see what you did wrong, but instead, you're accusing other members, such as LoyceV, but not yourself. It would also be much better to not create an alt account and wait your ban to end, since it's not permanent and you're lucky it isn't.

This would be done more on the server side, via Fulcrum. Let's say it would be asking it to create a list of addresses near address X.

But never mind, it was just to get an idea for a project I'm planning. Thank you.

Reasoning:Their nicknames tell the whole story 🤷‍♂️

Reasoning: They are the three Ninjas, and the community is represented by D'Artagnan 🤔^{(It's an easy metaphor for me to write in Spanish, I hope it's understood in English)}

Reasoning: The first nickname has a double meaning for me, since I also have the opportunity to read it in Spanish. PowerGlove is a pretty concise guy who not only talks the talk, but puts it into practice with his contributions to forum improvements, and sometimes even entertainment (like playing poker) on the forum. 

Reasoning: These events bring the community together and allow us to get to know the diversity of users Local Boards.

Reasoning: These projects remind us that there are users who make extraordinary contributions to the community, helping us every day to do things better in our beloved SMF.

Reasoning: danadc is a regular contributor to our local forum; in 2025 he was one of the most prominent new members.
Hosemary is one of the most helpful users I've met recently. He's always willing to lend a hand and sees situations that other users ignore or simply overlook.

Reasoning: They make reading the forum more comfortable, even if it's not noticeable.

Reasoning: They are skill and creativity.


Reasoning:There are quite a few more heroes on our board local, but having already named some, they symbolize the resilience of the LE Board.

OP should be grateful that it's not a permanent ban then...

Many users just get perma-banned without second chances.

Haha.. So all that was doing intelligence !?     Hahaaaaa!

How humble of you? Creating a ban appeal but as the same time attacking other forum members who you think might have caused you account to get banned in the same post. It is some mods/admins who ban the accounts, not LoyceV.
This is the time you should try to get members to support you but with that kind of attitude, I can only wish you good luck.

What you did was rather unwise. You should have at least include a note of sorts showing that you were just playing along

Ninety percent chance/certainty that he will add and divide by two
and the result will be the prediction....,
nothing to do with the increase of surprises and stress... hehehe..

‎I just want to make it clear and to say what is on my mind and clear out my mind, the punishment that was served to my account was undeserving because I'm not guilty of that.
‎
‎Like I said in my first comment on that thread, I saw @PrimeNumber7 thread, I read through it and also read through the few comments on the threads, but no body followed the instruction and I decided to do so.   Was that my wrong?  because I decided to follow instruction on that topic, that was why I was being accused of using AI and then my account got banned. 
‎
‎It shows how pathetic some of you are on this forum, especially @Loycev, that was the least I expected from an experience member like you, you took a rash action without accessing the situation to confirm if the accusation poured on me is true or not.
‎
‎Now my account is banned for a rule I didn't break, Admins and moderators, @theymos, please open my case and reaccess it again, I have not used any AI to write a single comment on my account since I was a newbies till my account got banned, I have never used any AI.  The punishment I got is something I'm not guilty of and I just want to state the obvious. 
‎
‎Thank you.

I tested this watch-only wallet with LoyceV's chosen 1000 addresses on my Linux desktop running appimage of Electrum 4.6.2 under Ubuntu 22.04.x connected via LAN to my Fulcrum 2.1 server (Bitcoin Core, Fulcrum and a few other containers run in a Virtualbox VM hosted on Linux Mint running on a Dell Latitude E7470 with 32GB RAM).

The test wallet synced after approx. 18m52s, where Electrum sat quite some minutes during sync at 13244/20852 kinda frozen and seemingly doing nothing and not counting up on the sync. But then larger count jumps in the sync happened. I have no idea of the logic behind this and what Electrum is doing in those periods of no visual progress. No errors where thrown out (wallet and server).

The wallet synced to 9426 transactions (4 are newer and added compared to LoyceV's post of his results) with a balance of 372.79298051BTC, last transaction was a0219bd9...d26d6045 confirmed 2026-02-14 21:39:35 UTC.

As I don't have any electrs (romanz) or other Electrum server running, I can't make a comparison to something else than Fulcrum on my hardware. But I will try to find a public electrs and see how and if it syncs this wallet. I'll amend results if I have any.

The round is set. Love has spoken.
I see that some of you have not been chosen. It's cruel, but don't be sad, you will have the opportunity to cleanse this affront. But maybe at the end of this round, you will be glad you stayed single.

This is the second time mv1986 has missed the deadline, so he will be declared MIA.

I may be wrong, but Mitchell and Xal0lex seems to be most active staff to answer user question/concern about forum. And it should be obvious why i nominate LoyceV.


Even after so many years, philipma1957 continue to discuss his experience related with Bitcoin mining. vapourminer active on many boards, even if he don't join the discussion.


nc50lc is probably most active helper on "Bitcoin Technical Support" board, and sometimes detailed/step-by-step guide. gmaxwell is one of few actual expert with decades of experience that still active here, you may want to visit his personal website https://nt4tn.net/. stwenhao technical knowledge is very impressive and patient dealing with question/argument.



I and many member use BitList to discover possible questionable/malicious behavior of certain users. BPIP continue to provide good data, including how many posts deleted by moderator. TalkImg frequently used by some member in this forum.


Safotan44 have mixed reputation for good reason, but i believe people shouldn't dismiss him when his statement makes sense. I recall AakZaki started discovering lots of alt account since 2025.


We know AakZaki have discovered lots of alt accounts, that usually have poor history (not paying loan, spamming with AI or others). lovesmayfamilis and nutildah remain active to discover spammer who may use AI/chatbot.


TryNinja have been building and running BitList for so many years, while PowerGlove continue to provide patch and share some interesting ideas to this forum.

Okay, it's not important anyways.

About that size, it's because the wallet keeps track of the same transaction ID in different entries aside from the actual transaction.
IIRC, it saves its txid under the address' transaction history, QT history, the wallet's "coins" (both unspent and spent outputs), and some more entries that I've probably missed.
Plus, some of those include the VOUT and/or sizes.

And most importantly, the discrepancy in size is because it's saved as JSON, the contents are saved in text,
So rather than the actual size of the transactions it's based on each character's size, e.g.: a 300vBytes transaction would be more or less 1.5kB in UTF-8.
Then include the other entries and those big spam transactions of those addresses, it should reach the average that you've described.
Full Wallet Encryption (not secrets-only) could decrease the overall size though.

Bot confirmed!!!!!!   

You and proudhon.. . .

 


By the way, proudhon has not logged in since last April.  Maybe someone poured water on him?


It seems that for the overwhelming majority of normies who have studied bitcoin for more than 100 hours, the correct word would likely be "when" rather than "if" as you mentioned.

Yet, for Philip, "if" seems to be the more accurate of representation of his thinking on the matter, since he is expressing his own thoughts that involve both ongoing lackenings of confidence and also his ongoing under appreciation for what dee cornz is - even though Philip has likely studied bitcoin for quite a bit longer than 100 hours, yet he still does not seem to get it... beyond appreciating that bitcoin is number go up technology that might not end up going up.  For Philip, he might consider whether bitcoin goes up or not to be like the flip of a coin, or some random thing in which certain powers that be are able to control.. which also shows some level of ongoing errors in his assigning of values and probabilities to dee cornz within the world as we believe it to be.


It is true that bitcoin is a product of both maths & sciences and various ways of connecting with human behaviors and even power projection in the real world.  If we are attempting to assign odds to what bitcoin might or might not do, we have to attempt to account for both aspects - to the best of our abilities, which does not necessarily mean that we understand the various influences and their balances enough to figure out outcomes such as price or even outcomes of the various network effects (within the Trace Mayer framework), as they continue to play out..


Surely, you don't understand bitcoin.

And, you also may well not understand the value of treating bitcoin as an investment rather than as a trade.

But, hey whatever, smartie-panties, do what you like.  And, potentially find out that after a couple of cycles (such as 8 years) or more that you are not able to turn back the clock, and your options in life would have had ended up much better if you  were to have had treated bitcoin as an investment rather than as a trade.

Some guys figure out these matters sooner than other, and some guys can never get out of their trading mindset - so their odds of actually outperforming the bitcoin investor are not likely to be good, especially if we look at repeated behaviors that might play out 2 cycles or longer.


Hahahaha

Greater than 1 does happen from time to time, yet you are correct in your implication that I had hesitated before changing the 1 to a 2.....


That image shows some variation of my reaction, too.

I've been meaning to undertake a project like this for quite some time, but was shy about linking a publicly-accessible to server to my home IP address.  Through the discussion in LoyceV's adventure thread I found an affordable solution; a VPS with plenty of horsepower and diskspace.

I've been running my own personal SPV server and block explorer on private hardware for almost 6 years now, so I have quite a bit of experience running a full node.  However, this is the first time I've used Fulcrum for the SPV server interface.  Previously I've used ElectrumX on my rack server and Romanz Electrs on my Dell Optiplex mini nodebox that I like to run as a backup incase the server was being finicky or (more likely,) I broke something while tinkering with it.

I fount Fulcrum pleasantly simple to set up and work with, and it's noticeably faster to synch my larger wallet files than ElectrumX. 

Here I'll share my configuration files incase anyone else cares to take on a similar project:

bitcoin.conf

fulcrum.conf

Inspired by LoyceV's adventure, I decided to publish my own Electrum SPV server for the community to use.

Two of the most legendary users. LoyceV is one of the true backbones of the forum, with deep on-topic knowledge and his legendary Meta projects, while icopress is doing his job extremely well and manages this excellent contest which really is a great way to think a bit about the community.
   

philipma1957 is an user I probably have never nominated but is always there and contributes interesting views about Bitcoin and other topics. And TryNinja may be the user this category is named after


I highly appreciate that legendary cypherpunk geek gmaxwell still spreads his deep knowledge and even patiently explains basic Bitcoin virtues to dumber users like me and even to users who are clearly not having good intentions. Stwenhao is one of the most active users in the Development & Technical section and also has explained me lot of things I had doubts about ABCbits is another legendary geek, their posts are short but extremely on point.
   

Maybe most don't remember it, but one of Bitcoin's 2025 most remarkable ATHs occurred just on the 15th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day. As many know I'm an advocate for "Bitcoin as a global currency", and thus this was a legendary moment for me And the Pizza Award is a classic.


BitVM2 is one of the most interesting initiatives for Bitcoin's programmability and the feasibility of more decentralized sidechains. KYCNot.Me is needed more than ever in our Orwellization of society. Related, b1exch is maybe a bit preliminary as this is a new project but it's refreshing that privacy-oriented services are still choosing this forum to present themselves.
   

Sausalitox is a new user in the Spanish forum who's made interesting threads in a forum where user activity could be a bit higher, highly appreciated. And Satofan44 appeared this year too, I think, and provides good content.


nutildah is one of the people keeping the forum in shape. And vapourminer ensures quality from the background.


Created a lot of math-oriented in-depth threads about Bitcoin's long term price predictions and about decision making when it comes to the eternal question: Invest or not? And how much? Is Bitcoin still on track to adoption?
   

MaxMueller is very knowledgeable and helpful and created several excellent in-depth threads. famososMuertos is one of those keeping the Spanish forum afloat, and regularly updates the local version of the Wall Observer.


Foxpup is probably among the people in the backgound most contributing to quality here. (I honestly don't know that much about the gender of most users here, with very few exceptions, so only one nomination).

Let's say I want to know the addresses from which the satellites of a specific address came. Up to 5 hops back.

Final Address
1hop: Address A + Address B
2hop: Address A = Address C + D & Address B = Address E + F
3hop: Address C = Address G + H & Address D = Address I + J & Address E = K & Address F = L + M + N
etc... etc...

Did I manage to explain the idea?

Are you able to perform a test to see the addresses associated with 5 hops from another address?
I've been wondering how long it might take for him to generate that list, so to speak.

That took a while, but certainly fast considering it's Electrum.

Sometimes, it's also the other operations that the client has to do with those transaction like their fiat-equivalent values and historical rates.
If you have any of it enabled in the settings, you could try another benchmark with it disabled.

Even reputable news agencies use AI to translate their articles.

Therefore, I say the best way to try and deal with them in the forum is to try and interact with the user who creates this type of content. This interaction will allow you to see if they are using AI 100% or not.

At this point, i can't help but agree with you. Guess i'll have to be more careful with sending merit there.

1. There's no correlation between staking coin and well-known exchange.
2. Mining doesn't use lots of data (unless you self-host your mining pool), so mentioning internet quota doesn't make sense.

1. This post is unhelpful, because it's not specific at all.
2. Mining typically don't require Bitcoin node, unless you plan to run self-hosted mining pool. So mentioning node isn't needed here.

"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."

Nobody is going to read AI slop. But it's very beneficial to write pages with AI if/i] you heavily rephrase the output over and over again ad apply lots of instructions and "skills" that make it more closely resembled to what a human would write.

You of course have to provide links, diagrams, etc. But it's like playing in god mode.

At this point, i can't help but agree with you. Guess i'll have to be more careful with sending merit there.

Explanation why post 1 is technically wrong.

Here, I would add that those who misuse their technical knowledge for such tasks often end up like the that member. Although, such tactic might be hard to find at first glance but it's karma or the law of cause and effect that takes place and that's what happened with the member who used the tricks to hide that he was using AI content to get paid.

Such a misuse of AI, If I recall correctly then a high ranked member from Stake campaign also used AI content to get paid and such activity destroyed that account. The greed is the main enemy in such cases, the member's who're in campaigns where more posts get paid, such members either give more time to forum and make more posts on daily basis but that's mostly spam, or they try to trick others using AI content generation tools.

Same is true for the members running multiple accounts, but in the end they always end up making mistake of forgetting the law of cause and effect. Even by using most advanced tactics, they'll always end up getting caught and destroy their hard work. Even extra smart people are human and they sometimes make human error and that's enough to find how they broke the rules to get extra advantage. I hope the ones who've found a way to use AI such tactically will learn from the mistakes of the members who got a signature ban, and stop using such malpractices for good.

That rule is mainly to prevent annoyingly-bad translations. Posting a good (and also direct) AI translation is fine, in my view. Though if specific local-board moderators want to ban it or limit it, they can. Also, if you or your post have nothing to do with a local board, then your post may be off-topic even if translated.


Not specifically, but it'll be a factor in deciding whether a user is a habitual low-quality poster.


I don't think that AI would be able to do that specific task reliably, at present.

I did sketch out a design for having AI essentially be able to subtract merit from users who looked like garbage-posters, and I was excited about the idea for a while, but in the end I decided that:
 1. The tech is currently too unreliable. Rating the quality of posts is something that it's fairly bad at, I found. It also opens up security/reliability issues such as prompt injections.
 2. Some things which distinguish this forum from the rest of the Internet include a more human touch, fighting back against the "dead Internet theory", and calling-back to BBSes of old. Too much usage of AI in forum operation might dilute that.

It seems those AI shit poster doesn't bother to read anything, they just copy paste other people's post and command their AI to generate new post. They really don't have the slightest respect for their Sig campaign job.


Uh--huh, and finally he got banned, right?

Hopefully that will cut down on some of the AI junk on the forum, lol...

This marks the end? I hope so, but the fight against this kind of thing is gradual and the approach used to tackle it matters so much. It got worse and so annoying to the point that some would still write nonsense with the AI. This means it's an automated functions linked directly to the forum, which is unforgivable.

LoyceV neutral tagged a user recently, and when I was reading the post, for which he was tagged, I was angry within me, to tell you how annoying these guys could be.

This is where the issue lies, and I hope the admin and moderators apply wisdom here. It's not everybody who can write well in English or express themselves constructively. Well, they (admin/mods) should see souls in posts as the means for their final verdicts.

I also implore people to improve in themselves, as some don't deserve any excuse. It's disgraceful to be in the forum actively for 2,3,4,5 years and still writing like an elementary school pupil.

Ah! Something big in meta. Seems generous tbh. Personally, I don't want to see any AI material, write/create original even if it may be not perfect; I mean how will one improve if you use AI to perfect their material?


I am of the opinion that AI can never replicate a real human. Humans evolve — their habits and behaviors change while AI will try to replicate philipma1957 based on fed data without having any substance, no originality.

In the end, the artificial philipma1957 will depend on original philipma1957 for everything, doesn't that tell you everything that you need to know?

(^ I am not feeling confident on it, because I just remembered how good is deep fake videos, and how often I keep getting fooled by those but still posting anyway cause I feel it still makes some sense)


And people's brains are gonna go to gutters.


This was beautiful to read!


Bruh, spelling? I use keyboard that auto corrects spellings for me — shouldn't be a problem, is it?

I'll give you an example, which has already happened on the Portuguese board.

Imagine that I'm going on vacation to Germany. I'm thinking: look, I can ask on the German forum for tips on visits and even about places that accept BTC as a form of payment.
So, I'll go to the German forum, start a thread, and ask. Logically, I'll translate it into German, but I'll also leave an English version.

Where am I breaking any rules in this? If we're a community meant to help each other, I don't see anything wrong with it. It's one thing to go there and make one or two quality posts (so to speak), it's quite another for me to go there and post in every thread and try to be involved in everything.

This rule was created to try and ensure that each local board is primarily intended for speakers of that language. Otherwise, there would be no point in having these types of boards. That's why I say that this rule is very often misinterpreted.

---

We are a community. Don't always look at everyone with suspicion, as if they are just nitpickers who are only here because of the subscription campaigns. Remember that Bitcoin has only reached this point today because of a true community spirit.

Yes, there are unscrupulous people who want to take advantage. But it's also true that the forum has always been a place where this was discovered, sooner or later.

To keep this debate as a matter of whether or not people should use translation tools in the forum is simply to want to limit the use of this forum and close it off to an even smaller group of people.

Don't try to restrict people's freedom of expression! Those who abuse this freedom should be punished.

Therefore, these ideas, which suggest that translation tools cannot be used or that you always have to indicate when a text is being translated, make no sense.

Those who write their own ideas and spend some time on the forum can usually tell when a text was created by AI or has been translated. When that suspicion arises, try interacting with the author of that text, and you'll soon be able to find out if it is true or not. We all have our own writing style. And that includes not only the text itself, but also how it is presented (aesthetically speaking).

Therefore, don't point the finger at everyone who contributes to the forum just because they use translators.
^{(I'm not talking about anyone in particular, but just the community in general. Please don't misinterpret my words.)}

I wonder if that shithead is only buying red-trusted Legendary accounts--I can't tell since he writes like he's messaging his drug dealer (aaaabsolute shocker I tell ya).  Were I to start visiting the Invites&Accounts section again, there's a non-zero chance my computer monitor would get punched through the wall undeservedly. 

I confirmed the bug. Not working in Tor. Thanks for reporting.
Tor is blocking mempool space api.

I will get home in a few days and fix it. No access to any computer now... I am traveling in vacation.

Thank you for sharing this.

my german was in high school and in college. it is poor to say the least.

but there are at least five people that post there that I like to talk to when they post in english.

I did use google translate and some of my own knowledge to attempt a few posts there in german and a few member said just use english.

frustrating as I may have improved my german a bit.

There are some telltale signs that make AI posts easily recognizable. Of course I think an account deserves a more official confirmation before being banned, but the point is I don't necessarily have to read the whole thing before knowing its worth double-checking. I'm actually surprised how these signs persist over multiple years now.

It must be somewhat harder to detect AI these days but most shitposters use it because its easy and fast. They don't want to be bothered with "humanizing" prompts, removing emdashes, introducing punctuation errors, etc. It might be faster to just crank out shitposts old fashioned style.

Finally some AI guidelines, it was really needed. AI is good thing when it's used for good purppose. But too much AI causes more harm than good. Still, these guidelines leaves lot of grey area and leaves lot of room for interpretation.. But I guess it's hard to make complete solution for this issue.

This rule is a bit outdated IMO. Back in 2014 and previoulsy translation tools worked quite poorly. It worked fine to translate separate words, but it wasn't able to translate fluent sentences or text. Now situation is different. Things like Google translate is working very well when you try to translate sentences or text. It's not much difference whether you will use AI or Google translate.
Still, I wouldn't like if users who can't write in English would be allowed to do it using AI. It's ok is specific cases like when you have some issue or want to ask question about something. But not when you want to farm sig. campaigns using AI

Just click submit and you will see the result.

It is working. I will make an uodate later to automatically click submit when you submit the url.

Let's not risk the last moment this round.

Flag Supported

In this area I agree with @theymos
A forum where technology is a central theme, distancing it from our daily lives, doesn't make much sense.

Logically, I don't agree with posts generated 100% by AI. Doing so by copying and pasting, without citing the source, is really wrong. Now, this shouldn't stop people from using it to extract ideas or informative details.

So I think you really shouldn't use AI to write our posts. But, if someone uses it to translate some text, I should use it as a true translator, and not as a writing assistant.

At most, take the ideas he gives and write them in your own words!



I have been pointing out for some time that these AI tools are highly prone to errors in analysis. There are several studies that show how these detectors fail even with ancient texts, claiming they were written by AI – texts thousands of years old.

We have many writing patterns, and AI writes based on an analysis of these human patterns. Therefore, it's not so difficult for a human to write originally, with a pattern that appears to be AI-generated. Therefore, I think it's a mistake to evaluate a text simply by looking at these AI text detection systems.

The text needs to be analyzed in another way, at least here in the forum. Look at several of the user's posts, as theymos says, and observe if their writing style has significant differences. Sometimes it doesn't take much to notice; just the way they respond to a question raised about the suspicious post is enough.




I don't want to turn this into a debate about these "rules"... I think that this "rule 27" (like others...) is often misinterpreted.

The idea behind this rule is to prevent someone like me, a Portuguese speaker, from going to the Russian tab to chat, because there are more topics there than in the Portuguese tab. But that shouldn't stop me from responding to something that's there, where I was quoted, or perhaps about a subject very close to me.

But that shouldn't stop me from responding to something that's there, where I was quoted, or perhaps about a subject very close to me. I've done this myself, sometimes even leaving the text in the local language, in English (and sometimes even in Portuguese), thus allowing readers to do their own analysis. I did this punctually, and I never felt any kind of problem or discomfort from native speakers of that language. However, the person should not do this systematically and routinely.

On the other hand, this rule does not apply to the global English forum. I think that's the point theymos is referring to, where we can translate a text into English and participate in the general forum discussion.

Another point is that I think it's excessive for people to use AI models for translation. It's better to use tools specifically designed for that purpose, like Google Translate, even if those tools also use AI. I say this for a very simple reason. Just as it doesn't make sense to spread butter on bread with a cleaver, it doesn't make sense to use an AI model to translate text (in most cases used here on the forum).

Ultimately, everything deserves common sense from everyone: from those who write using translations; from those who read; and through moderation.

We can say that for this round, these are the first interactions between players.

Yes, you have a good and solid point on what you just stated above regarding the new guide Sir Theymos just gave by allowing the use of A.I by forum members to be able to translate their own words from one language to another. Because by so doing, you are indirectly just allowing the use of A.I, because I'm 100% sure that many people will abuse and misused this opportunity, and when been caught, they will just claim and argue that they just used A.I to translate it but never did copy and paste. Since Theymos just clearly stated that it is allowed.
So in other to avoid this, there should be zero tolerance on the use of A.I, unless if the post/thread clearly states it was generated with the use of A.I. And such post shouldn't be counted as eligible for signature campaigns post. Because that's the only way to discourage people from posting A.I garbage.

If someone wants to translate a post , he or she should go hire a translator on the service board, rather than using A.I. Because by so doing, it will make the forum look far more professional. That's just my humble opinion.

The farmer of those accounts is either dumb to think it's easy to catch the pattern, ir has no clue about the trust system works. Rainbet is largest campaign with over 150 participants + how many left the campaign. By wearing Rainbet campaign, nobody will notice. And because he is shitposting, he relied on the campaign nager in the campaigns he managed to apply won't check the post history as the believe they were Rainbet active participants.

While your point is most probably the best explanation, I also fully understand OP's point of view (maybe also because I was not once an innocent victim of national profiling, although not in gambling).

Imho it's not a problem that they protect their business as they can against abuse. Imho the problem is in the way they've communicated it.
Probably they were overly sincere about it, forgetting that it can hurt feelings (and hurt the business too!)
They definitely need some communication professionals who can sugar coat this kind of messages or hide them behind some lies on technical or legal stuff.

The "your captcha code can be invalided" thing always shows up when login fails and you're using a captcha code. The error message is intentionally vague to avoid giving an attacker any additional info. If you're not sure whether it's a problem with your captcha code or your username/password, try it without the captcha-code and see. You have to fail logging in 50 times in ~30 days before your captcha code is invalidated, though, so it's not likely to happen accidentally.

If your password seems to stop working, I would strongly lean toward thinking that it's some problem with your browser or password manager. I don't see any reason on our end why that'd just randomly happen. Somebody reported to me recently that they noticed some possible login weirdness with Chromium, but it's hard to look into this sort of thing without a lot more info.


Right. This has been in place for over 6 years.

I'm honestly not sure it is even worth keeping those accounts active if someone is farming them.
It seems that either the marketing team is directly involved in account trading or someone is tarnishing the brand's name by doing this shady thing.



Yeah, they weren't very active before.
heck, now they are slowly popping up everywhere...

I have 2 theories about that:

1) It makes the account look like it was in a signature campaign recently, and thus capable of getting into campaigns.
2) Rainbet is actually paying somebody for this.

Chances are someone is just priming all these accounts for sale. Well, good luck now that most of them were tagged. Maybe the owner is planning to con someone unaware of how the trust system works or something.

yes I know your site very well and I know about this page
However, I hadn't looked at the raw data and I didn't know the percentage incidence of so many password changes in such a short time.

so there are two things
- or there was a hacking
- or it's a farm that's changing hands

The problem is in the explanatory part of the sentence. Every casino name so many countries all the time in their terms, denying services but no one will ever do this with that explanation.
 
This is your personal business until you publicly state, 'I deny my partial/full services to INDIANS because some Indians tried to cheat me'.

I do not. I have explained my intentions already. As a forum member (and an active contest organiser) I saw something wrong (IMO) and created a topic.

YES. In fact I am not from Nigeria, but this information is irrelevant here.


How convenient . We don't offer this bonus to Nigerians because in the past some Nigerian cheated.
 
I know that was an example of how discriminatory behaviour against a group is wrong just because of some individuals.

interesting
in your opinions is hacking or account farms?
I asked myself this question, surely there could be a connection even if it's not certain

Statistically, how often does a password change happen for all these people? Surely @LoyceV knows this..

So I should be upset because sites have terms like this?


They're limiting citizens from multiple countries from being able to register and enjoy their site. We didn't choose where we were born.

Discriminatory behaviour based on things on which individual has very less or no control. AFAIK this stereotypical attitude is not exclusive to governments. I am not aware about the legality of it but to my moral compass it appears discriminatory thus this discourse. I am sure I will learn more things form you.


Or may be why from some specific individuals and how can the platform prevent that instead of blaming the whole nation. But anyway I care less about their operations. My concern was very limited.

OR I can create a discourse, which I am doing. Thanks for your personal opinion.

They are al in the same page anyway. Thanks for you input.

Thank you. I have created a type 3 flag.

@ABCBit, you can say I am lying when I know what I am saying. The link was not deliberate. Try pasting a link and miss a number or figure or maybe mistakenly add a number to it if you wouldn't get same result. Nobody is above mistake and that's the only time I made such error.

About you saying you've corrected me several times, we were having a friendly conversation and you politely pointed it out like it wasn't that serious. How's that a "tagable" issue? You don't expect me to be right all the time. We are humans who can be wrong in analogy. You obviously overflogged the matter if we're both being honest. I was only typing to share my knowledge.

@LoyceV, I really don't have a problem with what ABCbit is doing, I support sanity in the tech board. My point is that it seems like he just personally don't want anyone to come to the board except the person finds favour in him to do so. I refuse to believe so however, because I have had friendly conversations with him and he's actually been one of my favorite on the board. If you look at his reason for tagging me and few others, you'd see he overflogged the issue, as if he wants to deliberately drive everyone out of the tech board, even people genuine intentions. It's really not fair and I must voice it out without bias.

FWIW, it's not exactly unknown wallet considering total download and star on github. It also pass all basic tests on wallet scrutiny[1], although they haven't verify the reproducibility.
