Wow LoyceV that's really... something.

It's the nerdiest form of performance art I've ever seen.

You planned all that for months like a bank robber plans a getaway.

Or Banksy putting a painting in a secret self-shredding frame.

Except this is statistics on an internet forum.

LOL -- ah, this is what it was all about. Congrats for the nice surprise.

AFAIR, I noticed it somewhat early when I quoted LoyceV somewhere and was surprised of all the BBcode stuff popping up from his quote. I looked at the embedded pictures and was confused at first. Well, well, as the data wrangler asked to keep quiet about it in his BBcode mambo-jumbo, I didn't care to dig deeper, it will surface eventually. And it did!

All I couldn't unsee further was that tiny appended horizontal line, minimized to unreadability. Some plot was in progress, waiting to be unfolded.

Thanks to everybody else who might've been curious and didn't uncover the surprise, at least I didn't notice.

Haha, so true, just remains some nice head-cinema.

I made a slight change to the top, I don't think anyone will mind. 

All that's left is for you to at least mention the first post where you used this.

You really got me!
I was putting together the post, and before publishing it I clicked on "preview". I was surprised, I thought it was strange that Top was just letters, but then I saw it was my username. I found that even stranger, and I didn't know what to think.

Without knowing what was happening, I checked the Telegram bot to see if anyone had notified me the day the images were uploaded, to see if I had missed anything.

So, I had to add that last sentence to the report because I really didn't understand what was happening.

Congratulations LoyceV, it was truly an excellent Easter Egg.
I had never seen them before today. 


Regarding the last "e"/last image, I checked the database and it had 305 view records.


Thank you so much for the surprise! 

People need to do very first important steps: Learning about Bitcoin blockchain, wallets, transactions like which wallets are good (open source, no custodial) to use, how to download, (verify if possible), install, creation, backup, test backup for recovery, and fund the wallet. They have to learn about Bitcoin testnet and use tBTC for their learning and practice before actually use Bitcoin main net with money spent for purchasing bitcoin on main net.

They have to know about risk from shit coins as Bitcoin forks, and don't let these shitcoin claiming results in losing their valuable bitcoins.
LoyceV's Bitcoin Fork claiming guide (and service).

They have to be careful with transaction broadcasting.
How to lose your Bitcoins with CTRL-C CTRL-V

But there is a difference between those wallets and my toolkit when we talk about the wallet feature. And is the way that they work.

They broadcast the transactions on their nodes... i use a thirdparty to broadcast the transaction. So, the wallet feature isn't connected to any Bitcoin Node.

Have you girls and guys ever built a transaction manually on bitcoin node? You had to create, sign, and broadcast the transaction... this tool creates and signs the transaction, and you have a transaction ready to broadcast when you want on any online broadcast services.

No horse in this race, but it seems that the feedback system (not trust list system) would be better if it was split into two categories?

Trade feedback
Character feedback

I've read LoyceV guide and it says all over it that feedback and stuff is to be used for commenting on that person's trade. However, many users here leave comments based on the person's content of character. So this leads to situations where people loophole their way around it, by leaving something along the lines of: "This person is rude, posts stupid commentary, and supports a political view that favors deporting immigrants, which is awful, so they must be risky to trade with. ".

Example:


So why not make it where you can leave feedback assesing trade risk, and feedback assessing someone's content of charachter? A place for facts and a place for opinions? The factual place would affect the green/white/orange numbers, while the opinions can be read/taken into account in a more discrete way? Idk, just my observations don't hurt me. 🥲

Same here, I just noticed that the latest posts aren't getting archived by the Bitlist.co tool and I have come to report it here. I am confident TryNinja will get to the bottom of this. For now, LoyceV's archiving tool can be a good backup in case anyone needs to look at archives of posts.

And unlock.

Here are your predictions for round 23 :

Name	Prediction
Leahized	61 999,00
ESG	62 808,08
LoyceV	62 810,00

   
I think for the next round (if there is one), I will be a little vague about the deadline .

you are not paranoid at all.

the moment you connect to a cellular network your IMEI and other info gets broadcast by default as far as i know.
but i guess they won't have your name, address or KYC since most of the world has mandatory sim card registration, so unless you have bought your phone with cash or second hand, the IMEI alone would be enough to trace you if you bought it from an official store, or you set up your personal google account or something like that, and i'm pretty sure their apps collect the IMEI number of the phone.

I think we would try to reimburse everyone to the same %. So for instance user A and user B would both get 20%. That said, much to the upset of the exchanges we list on OrangeFren.com, we are very quick to delist if there's any issues.

Apologies for slow communication on our end, we're hosting MoneroKon this weekend
You can watch it live here: https://www.youtube.com/@MoneroCommunityWorkgroup/live

Yes, to be clear, I didn't mean we should require full KYC. Bad wording on my part.

"I think it's something to consider" = recognize that we can't just do the same as the government because they ask for KYC.

I think the point of “LoyceV”’s post was that, if it turned out Tomboi wasn’t a scammer after all-but rather there were technical or other reasons-and if Tomboi got in touch and resolved the issue with the victims. At the time he wrote that post, such a scenario was still possible, but with each passing day, that likelihood is becoming smaller and smaller.

I would like to hear here how the refund would proceed in a hypothetical case with FF. Orangefren code FF has shown $19k as a guarantee ("partially" (39%) protected)
Two users are asking for a refund, User A ~$15k and User B ~$80k
What would be the priority when distributing the refund, and how much influence would it have if some users use the OF affiliate link?

Для меня непонятным остается тот факт, что из 103 кандидатов, фактически было добавлено новых 11 участников, которые заменили такое же количество выбывших. Просматривая никивыбывших, у меня возникло сомнение, что они могут по каким-то причинам могут не соответствовать по каким-либо параметрам, так как их траст лист не претерпел каких-то значимых изменений.

AFAIK, governments follow KycNotList's approach when they successfully seize funds from scammers and try to refund verified scam victims ^{[this is the standard that I would've probably applied without the existence of these two threads]}, but after reading TryNinja's comment ^{[per-person max cap based on the deposited amount]}, I think this is the better approach since it's more fair to those who transacted within the escrowed amount ^{[IMO, others shouldn't be paying the price for those who acted irresponsibly]}.
- Concerning the first hypothetical scenario, I still need more time to think if there's even a way to tackle this issue, but as things stand, it doesn't look good ^{[unfortunately]}.

Hier das genaue Update von LoyceV , Danke dafür !

I don't know many Electrum servers that accept below 1 sat/vByte transactions although some time since their introduction have passed and the list should be longer. There is LoyceV (electrum.loyce.club:50002) and another one that I tested in the past but was recently offline for a bit (electrum.labrie.ca).

True. Electrum for desktop is significantly better than its mobile alternative. Try Blue Wallet if you are using Android. I find it to be better. You can connect to Electrum servers of your choice from the settings.

This is an angelic move. If this is implemented and it works, it means that it will be more difficult for scammers to quickly return under a new nomenclature to scam unsuspecting victims.

Has there been a situation that a project after exit scamming, came back with same domain to continue scamming?
I am doubtful.

I wouldn't agree that happened exactly as you say.
First we have multiple reports of people losing their coins, and than we also have exchange website not working anymore.
They are also not responding to anyone and they were not seen online since the first incident was reported.

For the 1st post I got a bunch of mixed results.

It's interesting to see that even with prices falling, interest rates have remained low.

Why is that? Very interesting indeed.

I agree with you. In this case, I contacted Little Mouse to find out how many victims have reached out to him, but before making any payments, I’ll also ask him how he plans to distribute the funds so we can take that into account as well.

I hope he’ll get back to us so we can distribute everything more effectively, but for the future, we need to think carefully about how to regulate all this, since some have more than two escrow accounts, and the largest deposits are usually held on dark web resources-especially if the exchange is No KYC or provides mixing services-which makes coordination between multiple escrow accounts even more difficult.

I may be mistaken, but it seems this user mentioned that he fell victim to a scam on other websites, which he associates with Tomboi’s activities.
1) He did not contact us regarding being a victim of the Tomboi website in order to be eligible for a payout from the deposit.
2) He stated that the scammer’s deposit on Antikyc.io was $1,000. But on Tomboi, the deposit on Antikyc.io was $500, not $1,000.
3) Based on the user’s nickname and the text, it seems more likely that he fell victim to a scam by the Byware exchange, and in this context, he suspects that Tomboi is connected to those sites.

I could be wrong, so just in case, I sent a private message to this user to clarify the situation.

We understand your loss and sincerely sympathize, but please be more respectful toward the forum members. The discussion here is less about the current situation and more about possible future scenarios and how to properly allocate deposits in such cases. As I understand it, there are currently only two victims: you and the person who lost $7,000. If no other victims come forward, it stands to reason that it wouldn’t be in Tomboi’s interest to scam the project over $7,000, and your claim of a $100,000 exchange is likely legitimate.

You also made a mistake by transferring an amount five times greater than the exchange’s total deposit balance—and if you include the deposit on our service, ten times greater. Our website includes a warning: “We strongly recommend that a single transaction does not exceed the exchanger’s deposit amount.”
The problem is that users who follow these rules end up with practically nothing if everything is distributed on a percentage basis, although the greater blame lies with whoever set an exchange amount that was too high and exceeded the deposit.

And this is no longer specifically about you, but rather about the fact that, in theory, an exchange preparing to scam users could initiate such a transaction itself in order to seize the majority of the deposit. This discussion is more about what rules should be established in the future to distribute the deposit more effectively among the victims.

As I already mentioned in my private message, I will make a payment equal to a percentage of the losses incurred by those affected, and that is exactly what I will do-we value our reputation and keep our word. But in this case, there is a person who lost $7,000 and followed the rules by not exceeding the exchange’s deposit limit when creating the trade, and if calculated as a percentage of his total amount, he will receive only $654, which does not seem entirely fair. Given this situation, we have decided to add an amount from our own funds to the compensation for this affected user so that they receive $4,100, as if your loss had matched the deposit amount rather than exceeding it by 10 times.

This time we are covering the difference, but we cannot do this indefinitely. That is precisely why this discussion is crucial for the community-to establish fairer and more transparent rules for the future and post them on the website. Furthermore, this will help other escrow services understand how to operate correctly and define their own rules to prevent further manipulation by scammers.

Of course it "hit a nerve." I just lost $100,000. I came to this topic looking for updates, and instead i found people building hypothetical scenarios where I'm the scammer. How exactly did you expect me to react?

Maybe it seems that way to you now, but it's just a matter of extra caution. We have seen many more complex scam schemes here.
There is a difference between this forum and Discord, for example, where it is obviously on "trust me bro". Your example itself shows, because you lightly sent an excessive amount to a still insufficiently proven exchange. Insufficiently proven even for large amounts.

Everything is still between you and those holding the escrow in this case. They are not obliged to take anyone's advice into account.

I'm sorry if this anomaly (which you are also involved in by an unfortunate accident) reflects badly on you, because it is used in analysis and finding solutions in order to reduce the damage of confusion in future similar cases to a minimum.

I understand how frustrating and stressful this loss is. However, please remain calm. They're just talking and commenting about the case nobody is accusing you. I'm truly sorry for your loss. I'll do my best to handle and take action against those scammers.

You know what? Forget it. I don't even want a single cent back anymore. Take everything sitting in escrow and donate it all to Stalker22 and LoyceV — congratulations, you've earned it with your paranoia and your pathetic accusations.

I literally just lost $100k and you people are out here treating ME like the scammer. I can't even think straight right now and this is what I have to deal with? Are you kidding me? This forum is a joke.

I don't understand you. I lost $100k and I made a thread here about it to warn people, after waiting 4 hours to get my money back, and you accuse me of nothing? What is wrong with this forum?

I found this forum through a Discord chat, and I wanted to buy ETH with XMR because my friends told me it was a good site. I used it first for small transactions, and it worked, but afterwards I got scammed. And now I'm seeing this nonsense. I hope you get scammed for a large amount someday, and when you go to the police to report it, I hope they ignore you.

I agree with the theory that an exchange operator who is deliberately committing fraud could pull off a scheme like this, but I think that in this case, the victim who lost $100,000 is a real person-after all. It's unlikely that Tomboy would have committed fraud involving $7,000.

I’ll change my mind if it turns out there were more victims, but if there were only two, then judging by how the Tomboi was marketed, the $7,000 wouldn’t have covered the cost of the scam.

Unfortunately, this method isn't technically feasible for all services. This approach is only possible for aggregators that work with exchange platforms via API, but not all exchange platforms have their own API. At OrangeFren, transactions aren't processed via API either. Instead, users are redirected to the exchange platform itself to complete the transaction.
Forum participants acting as escrow agents cannot monitor every transaction if they accept a deposit from an exchange.

We are currently finalizing the terms of service for our platform to ensure they are as fair as possible, and we hope to identify points from this discussion that need to be added to these rules.

The exchange’s deposit will be distributed among the affected parties according to the following scheme:
1) The deposit will be distributed to the affected parties in proportion to the amount of their losses.
2) If a victim’s loss exceeds the exchange’s deposit on our platform, we will calculate the amount based on the deposit amount rather than the victim’s actual loss, as our service clearly states that users must not exchange amounts exceeding the exchange’s deposit per transaction.
3) The victim may claim a portion of the exchange’s deposit only if they provide substantial evidence of the completed transaction.

I would appreciate it if you could suggest some points to add.

****************************************************
I’ll also include a quote from my post in the thread that preceded this one, so that the context of the current situation involving the victims who lost $7,000 and $100,000 is clear.

Or did they?  As LoyceV pointed out as one possible scenario, what if an exchange with an escrow deposit decides to exit scam?  All they have to do is fake a transaction on their own platform and play the victim.  Exactly what looks like is happening here.

I am not saying I have concrete evidence to disprove 85pandoras claims, but I do have intuition and common sense.  Who in their right mind would risk that much money on such a shady, obscure platform?


Or did they kill the site right after this supposed $100k transaction to fabricate a textbook exit scam and fast-track their cash grab from the escrow?

Round 22 is now over, here are the results :

Closing price on 03/06/2026 : 64 022$

Name	Prediction	Difference
ESG	72 808,80	8 786,80

You are the last three contestants, you are supposed to be the best. And... what are these results ? A difference of over 8 000$ !! Make an effort guys, we are watching you. This thread has almost 10K views.
Anyway, congratulations ESG, you are halfway through these final rounds.

But i still get the bug, texts are wrong there, i will fix it, thanks.

I know is not on github, but anyone can download the zip and modify it as they want.


As you say, only a few users do this... But is nice to see that someone get the idea. And is important to mention that wallet is only one of the features, and that's something that i will update on the main post, the features.


If you own the source code, and run it locally is not a third party anymore, is a service. Not sure if call it an app, maybe the right name is a Web app, you run it locally with apache.



They build the transactions for you, they hold your provate keys. And the real problem of this is the updates and the download sources, there are a lot of cloned wallets with malware outside, and a update could have some encripted malwares as an inside job, is something complex.

This is not a wallet, is a toolkit, with some cool toys, i hope you can see it that way, and if you found something to make it better i will appreciate your feedback.

This is what I've been thinking about for the past few days as a possible scenario: the scammer could act as a victim in order to obtain escrow funds. Since they can immediately make a deposit on their own platform, use that letter of guarantee and transaction TXID as proof that they made a deposit from that platform.

I believe this needs to be filtered out because others who deposited and had a successful trade on the platform may do the same and pretend as a victim, even if they had already made a successful trade two weeks before the exit scam happened.

So, I think this needs some verification or something to make sure the victim is a legit customer, not the scammer itself. We do not have data, but only the letter of guarantee is the proof that they are customers that the scammer can also produce if they want to.

I think LoyceV is asking the right questions.  My first thought when I saw the $100k allegation was that it might be fabricated.  Just a convenient cover story for them to pull an exit scam and pocket the escrow funds.  Think about it: if they were planning an exit scam, this is exactly the card they would play.

Of course I dont want to turn this into a witch hunt, but has anyone seen concrete evidence of the multiple high-amount swaps that 85pandora claimed to have made in the past?

And that would be a fairly easy modification for Theymos.  Just add a banned flag and .

I think you enjoy a larger portion of the admin's ear than most members. 

If a "banned" rank could be added without destroying the original title (much like Legendary / Donator), I'd be in favor of it.   Otherwise, I'd let extensions handle additional information that is not universally accepted.

I want to know something about Electrum wallet, is it good for long term investment preservation, or is trust wallet better. Many places talk about trust wallet. But which wallet is actually better for long term preservation. And which wallet will be more secure?

His argumentation for using this over a real wallet indeed does not really hold water, but I do believe that building transactions on an offline, air-gapped device is the most secure way to spend your coins.


For me personally, this means working with air-gapped hardware wallets. A great tradeoff between convenience and security.

One could also use a dedicated PC, e.g. booting up Tails on a flash drive that comes with Electrum pre-packaged and work with that, but it'll most likely be less secure than a purpose-built device with minimal operating system and security-focused hardware design.

LoyceV built a page for similar information too. The following link is for your account with merit history for your merit sent and received.

https://loyce.club/Merit/history/3505077.html

With instability of BPIP.org site recent months, Loyce.club can be a very good site to use when you need to check merit history of any user. Use this format, and type the user id into the link
https://loyce.club/Merit/history/Userid.html

How much would a letter of guarantee and a record of the time it was created be of help?
Ok, probably in a planned scam, this could also be manipulated. But in this way, any warranty letter younger than the moment when the service went offline could be considered invalid.

There is no guarantee any exchange or other service could turn out to be a scam, even if they are listed on kycnot.me website.

They also lost security deposits with multiple escrow.
Returning $10 sounds like a sick joke to me, and website going offline could be they didn't want to waste more time.

LoyceV is 100% right. Buying a generated private key is basically paying to get drained later.
Also, the MEV angle is wild. Leading zeros save you some dust on calldata, but MEV is won on latency, not vanity prefixes. We host RPCs and validators at crouton.Digital, and I see it all the time - a bot with a standard address but a lightning-fast private endpoint will out-snipe this 9-zero wallet every single time.
Cool novelty address, but totally useless for actual MEV if your infra is slow.

@TryNinja @LoyceV

You’ve raised a very important point.

We already responded to both affected users yesterday, explaining that compensation amounts will be paid in proportion to their losses, and it would be unfair of us to change the terms now and pay less than promised. But on the other hand, you are right: our website includes a warning advising users not to make individual transactions exceeding the amount of their deposit.

Your theory makes perfect sense, but I think that in this case, the victim who lost $100,000 is a real person-after all. It's unlikely that Tomboy would have committed fraud $7,000.

I think it would be fair this time to contribute a little of our own funds so that the victim’s payout of $7,000 is slightly higher-perhaps we could increase it to $4,100.

But, of course, we can’t keep doing this indefinitely, since this is no small amount for us, and by making this contribution out of our own funds, we’re sacrificing the development of our project. That’s why we need to clearly define the payment rules and post them on our website, so that in situations like this, everything is transparent and clear to everyone.

But here, too, we need to understand that a scammer might not create one large sum, but rather many small ones, so that after the scam, they can request a withdrawal from different accounts.

I would be very grateful for the continuation of this discussion so that you can help us draft more effective rules for distributing deposits in the future.

Can you possibly reproduce the error  while your browser console is open.. check the error message if it occurs again[ like the  error message before the second merit for LoyceV went through].
Yeah overflow with a max-width.. I haven’t really touched the styling part, I will fix that today.

Sure.. I will make it descending (I.e latest comes firs)
Pending response..

This was already one of the red flags, and I fully agree with what LoyceV previously mentioned in their official announcement on this matter. It raises concerns to use an old Indonesian account and build an exchange platform under that account’s name [especially since the exchange name itself looked strange as a brand for a trading platform].


--------------
Well, this would be a good action because it would reduce the likelihood of this account being used for exploiting the account’s rank to appear more established in the field. It would also help prevent its use in scams.


That is completely correct. Perhaps we could provide neutral feedback stating that the platform has only escrowed $10,000, and therefore trading volume should not exceed that limit. This would be also a good idea.

A $10,000 security deposit is not definitive proof that they will not scam users. They also used a review campaign, paying participants to add a sense of legitimacy to their platform. Because of this, their tactics have now become well known, and I hope everyone has learned from what happened here.

This is the most likely scenario. The appearance that the order was executed was more indicative of a technical error and thus gave more time for potential new victims to come, because the $100k user did not immediately turn on the alarms here and thus warn others.

There are several reasons to get you banned in the forum. Out of curiosity, I pulled data for last 18 months to see what actually get people banned here.
Here's overview of banned users in 2025 and the first half of 2026. Moderation focuses on keeping the forum clean, high quality to reduce spam and low effort post.

Note: Exact official monthly or per-reason statistics are not publicly published. My analysis is based on visible patterns particularly from LoyceV's banned lists  (loyce.club) and BPIP (bpip.org) data. Numbers below are approximated/estimated based on reported activity. Real figures fluctuate with spam waves.

I stand to be corrected. I would also appreciate if someone can help fix the table.

Updated Ty Gazeta!

Could you please add this info to your post, so I don't need to cross reference with Theymos' list?

Another idea is to see the $10k escrow as a per-person max cap, so the $100k is treated as a $10k deposit along with the $7k one.

$100k victim receives $5,882.35
$7k victim receives $4,117.65

How does one solve this?

Even if it's limited per person, first come first serve, etc... the scammer can always fake orders to get the escrow amount back.

1. Tiny amounts like the $10 sent here instead of the promised 50 ETH, may have been sent just to make the swap look completed. This could make both the victim and other users think the payout was made. Things can work differently once the amount becomes very large. Smaller swaps may not reveal the same issues that appear with much larger transactions.


2. As for the website going offline, the timing is difficult to ignore, but perhaps a single transaction worth around $100,000  was enough for them, instead of risking what they had already gained for smaller amounts. Taking the site offline, as happened here, would also make it harder for users to gather evidence and investigate what happened.

Playing 4D chess with just 32 BTC sounds like a legendary move, but letting a measly $2 million sale crash a trillion-dollar asset by nearly 10% is giving Saylor way too much wizard power!

Saylor didn't crash it; he just took advantage of the natural pullback to clear some debt and prepare for the next big buy.

It's a hilarious theory, but the 9.39% drop is just routine macro volatility.

If anyone is interested to get 1 month of FREE NYM VPN, contact me to send you the link.
You can test it for month and cancel if you don't like it.

Even using regular VPN and Tor is risky, recent example of Mullvad showed that.

Nope.
You can always contact and ask them yourself.

This literally started few days ago, and there is also 500 sat/day that can be used.

Interesting to see if this is the case but I don't think this drop is caused by Strategy selling 32 is not a serious sell when you hold over 800k.

Either way a bounce would be nice, sentiment is in the toilet and I'm certain the flows into anything AI related are a part of it. Bitcoin at the moment is just really boring or depressing depending on how you look at it.

Hey Porf,

I spotted 2 minor errors in our list of translations. I hope this helps.

Here, the second [IDN] link should be [HIN]:


Here, the [RUS] translation appears twice (perhaps remove the second one and wait for DrBeer to update his OP?):

NostrVPN isn't a completely new idea. But this VPN approach still hasn't convinced me.

While the market is small, things might even be interesting, but as it grows, so do the dangers.

By using a VPN like that, you run the risk of other people using your internet to access any and all types of websites. This means your internet connection may be being used to access illegal hardcore content, which could attract the attention of the authorities.

Therefore, assuming the use with unknown users can be a risky option.

Not yet, I only added it to my todo.. but this changes things a bit.

I was even thinking of a much better way I.e grab the merit history html page and check if any of the merited posts has the first item “msgId” in the queue. That way I can easily pop confirmation even if the user wish to send merit to that particular post once again which could happen in some cases when it’s added as the first item but the major check will be to rule out  unattempted double-spending .

Don't tell me you didn't see the first offer with 100 sats/day 
This is marketplace and early days so people can set any prices they want.
Mullvad can be shut down and seized, not that easy with decentralized VPN.

yeah just noticed. not sure what happened.

-I left this forecast on Friday night, I went on a trip to work on the weekend, I painted an eaves more than 10 meters high, with one ladder tied to the other and without any safety equipment, I came back alive! and I came back last night... I looked closely.... I imagined it would go up..., but no,...
 I'm glad @Leahized wished me good luck, if it wasn't for that, I don't know what would be heheheheee....

Thank you for the merit and for helping me finally escape the Junior Member rank. 😄

What's funny is that I've actually been around this forum for about 8 years, and I've been involved with Bitcoin for roughly 14 years, yet somehow I managed to stay a Junior Member for far longer than I should have.


Looks like you've had enough years of experience to discover the upgraded version of 69 before the rest of us. 😄




I think that's a fair observation.

If posting volume is directly tied to payment, it's hard to believe the activity rankings would look exactly the same without those incentives.

What I find interesting is that the merit system was originally introduced to reduce low-quality posting and discourage spam. It definitely helped with the obvious one-line spam, but over time users adapted.

Instead of "Nice project" type posts, we now often see longer and more polished replies that still add very little to the actual discussion.

In other words, the standards improved, but people also became better at staying within the rules while chasing post quotas.

@LoyceV I was coming for bull now, but i respect your tough decision, you are from me 0.69 cents ahead.

Whenever I read comments from some Nigerians, i  laugh a lot  because they often talk as if they are saints while they are not. And if I may ask, why is that some users here do not see things from a different perspective apart from ranking and start earning from the forum?

Outside that,  there are newbies from our local section who barely receive merit,  despite having useful opinions and you know what I am saying, yet see what you came here to say.  It is just that, they do not know how to structure quality discussion. However, this is the last time I will create a thread concerning merit and newbies because i have read enough.

Eh, probably because they've got a the survival instincts of a cactus? Its plain and simple: if there were no signature campaigns, will this place generate the traffic it is having now and will the topic of merits be discussed? There it is. We know the Op is "concerned" by the dwindling rate of merit disbursement for "beginners" because the ultimate aim is to rank up and join a paying campaign..

Anyway the post money idea is great.

I think it is important to understand what kind of privacy we are talking about when discussing fiat exchanges.

If we are talking about complete recipient privacy in the physical world — that is a much more complex question. Postal delivery has its limitations: cameras in and around post offices, while any physical transfer method inevitably creates additional points of deanonymization.

But if we are talking about privacy from the service side — meaning a service that does not collect unnecessary user data during such exchanges — then this is a very realistic goal.

And yes, we do have a very interesting idea in this direction. It is still too early to share details, but we are definitely thinking about it.

That's my suspicion yeah.

I usually nuke them before reaching 0 posts, but just so happens I finished clearing my report queue before nuking them. So, I suspect you're correct. Worth knowing for the future, as I'd rather those actions be pushed to the deletion log for the public.

User has been nuked shortly after those posts were acted upon. Not sure why its not on the deletion log.

These days i just report such account, even if nobody bothered to check their post with AI detector. I don't even feel to tag such account, unless they continue to spam on tech board even after their previous spam got deleted or called out as spam/nonsense.

The truth is that, you can't decide for the moderator which post to delete and which post to keep and they have an authority that makes almost all their decisions and actions unquestionable and as such, they can decide to make and remove rules at will.

This is a local board and I believe it is a good thing that moderator added that we should be polite and be too offensive to other because we ought to be one big family on here rather than wanting to offend and abuse ourselves on here, we should rather channel such energy into helping, directing, teaching and making the community and forum at large easier for ourselves.

Criticism isn't a bad one but most times it should be worth it.

I posted this on Meta: Be polite rule should be added to the forum rules

It is about two legendary members that thought their insults on me is paining me but which is far from true because we are all just being on the internet. You can see what people posted on the thread including LoyceV.

We should also have freedom of speech on this local board instead of any post that is getting to that path to be moved to off topic or deleted.

I hope this thread will not be deleted as usual.

I've never mined Bitcoin and I haven't mined PoW since 2016. But it is definitely something worth exploring because I would like to put to bed whether or not these outputs are truly spendable. Its been a mystery since 2015. Thanks both of you for your ideas about how to test it. I'll be back in a while to let you know how it goes.
