Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 06:41:02 AM
I'm not sure if I'm willing to motivate why I selected a certain pizza based on an image.
Yes, make a judgment on a single image may turn out to be very hard.. many factors, camera efficiency, POV ....

I experienced this myself, when I realized only when the voting topic was made (and obviously too late) that my pizza was not well contrasting with the background on the picture..

So the pictures of making the pizza could help very much to figure out how it is made, it's quality.. quality of the base/crust ..

* So why not make participants upload a full gallery to image hosting services.. and put the link of the gallery with the final picture on the voting topic !??
just make a couple of rules of posting and that's all !

Friends, who is good at math?

What is the probability that, given 144 pizza options, 5 users from one local section vote for 5 identical pizzas, placing votes in the same order?

You're really monitoring every vote ! Shocked  Hats off mate, bravo!

To be frank with you, I hate this marketing strategy of VPN providers, there is more than 50% sale all the time, what's the point of that? Just set original prices and stop bullshit marketing and promotions.
yeah, and add to that the bullshit list of claims they make, stuff like "our VPN will protect you from getting hacked" and "complete anonymity online" while most people turn on thier VPN and log in to their gmail.
but my favorite is the "military grade encryption", like dude, 99% of internet traffic is literally encrypted using the same military grade encryption which is just AES-256.

In my country, we have a saying that translates to "everyone is expected to know the law", but you'd have to be a lawyer to have the time to read all of them. And study them to remember them, and keep up with continuous changes and new laws. And even so, lawyers specialize in only parts of all laws. So you can't expect anyone including police to understand all details of every law.
i think every country has a similar saying, in my country, the saying translates to "the law does not protect the ignorant".

ProtonVPN is playing games with me. It offered me 55% discount on 2 years plan, then I revisited the pricing URL and it offered 70% discount. Finally, US$71.76 for 2 years, sounds good.

mullvad is so underrated tbh, and they are pretty much unknown in the VPN market outside the privacy space, but that's expected. after all, they don't do paid reviews or run an affiliate program like every other VPNs. actually, i don't think i have seen a single mullvad ad before.

And, add the link to another page after the colon, and once someone clicks on it, it should say:

If you do not trust someone,
Go to your profile, and then click on trust >> Trust settings >> Put a ~ and their username. In this case, it would be ~Bitcoin Smith and update it. If you trust some, do the same process, but without a ~. That's how you do it.

You should read the beginner's guide, which was mentioned by Bitcoin Smith earlier.

Trust feedback
Trust feedback (Positive/Neutral/Negative) can be used to express your opinion about someone's trustworthiness. In other words: would you trust or have you trusted this user with your money?
Of course I would not trust the author of this thread with anything. This part of the thread indicates that negative trust is appropriate, other parts of that thread and statements by other members here indicate the contrary. So which one is it? Are you able to decide what constitutes trustworthiness yourself or do you obey a preset list of rules that are imposed by others?

I so much love this suggestion because nothing is actually deleted forever in the forum due to the archives and other external platforms such as LoyceV and Tryninja tools, where people can still root out deleted posts. Placing such big warning on posts confirmed to have malware will help in protect people who might want to check some of these users posts history even though they were deleted from the forum.

I agree with Loyce. It's a product afterall. The best way to show your disatisfaction is to ignore any product that you think has unfair pricing policies. In traditional investing, there is a saying that the companies who put large red arrows pointing at their investor relations section in their website should be red-flagged. It's not the same, but I want to point out that when you disagree with a pricing or financial policy, ignore it.

Like I said, he was claiming LN-transactions happen offline. That's not true, which makes the feedback factually correct.
That's new low, now community don't see the difference between terminology mixup and in what context it's been told but I think that's not the reason why he tagged, it is because I said the trail breaks with LN and he said NO, it doesn't but he is someone who explain things in detailed didn't gave me anything much other than this.
No, this is not true. The link is not broken and there are many ways you can be tracked. Please don't give incorrect information here.
The answer is in the same post that you quoted and cut off, you are just a very lazy spammer. Worse, there is also an answer in a previous post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5546439.msg65473020#msg65473020.

I hope that you have understood that my answer applies pretty much directly to LN as well. Just think about it, starting with the address reuse example. In addition, there are probably some LN specific concerns. Reading a paper such as this one could be interesting to you: https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.12470.
Please stop wasting everyone's time, you are clearly wrong and are not interested in learning much or taking responsibility.

Quote from: examplens on June 29, 2025, 07:46:12 PM
i believe these inconsistencies are usually due to the aggregator OrangeFren data refresh speed and the fast-moving nature of crypto prices
I've seen such inconsistencies too often to blame it on data refresh speed.

Whenever I use a site to compare rates at instant exchangers, I'm looking for the one that gives me (say) 0.2% better rates. If there's a 1% variation between what's shown and what I get, it's kinda pointless.
It's not just Orangefren, I remember seeing something similar on Bestchange and exchanges listed on there.

To test one of the exchanges, for example, Swapuz. I downloaded their affiliate widget and added it to one of my sites. Here is how the conversion of 0.1 ETH to USDT (trx) looks on my site and their official site
...
Big thanks to everyone who reported the rate differences!
We've had a closer look over the weekend and decided to impose a 1% correction on fees we get from Swapuz.

Currently we check for new rates as soon as we fetch the previous batch.
Bare in mind we also interpolate, we can't query every amount, after all. It also wouldn't be a good design for user privacy to send a request for a quote every time a user searches for a pair, because if any of the exchanges we list had their query history compromised it would make it possible to timing-attack our users. Even if they didn't use that particular service.

I appreciate the effort, but came to the conclusion (years ago) that I don't really want to spend more time on "looks". My site loyce.club was never meant to be used on it's own, it was simply a place to dump data that I couldn't fit in a post. And it kinda got out of hand, with currently ~15 million HTML pages. If I'd ever change things, it should be by converting everything to a database system to make it much easier to change things, but since I still know nothing about databases, that's not going to happen any time soon.
So much to do, so little time....
Basically, you need to learn two things about databases:
- how to load a record (or a batch of records) into a database
- how to query a database

When you scrape data, you would load data into your database, and when someone visits loyce.club, the backend of your website should query the database and render a template based on the data. You would want to be sure that your backend doesn't allow for SQL injection attacks, but this is fairly simple to guard against.

I think this is probably something you could vibe code fairly easily with ChatGPT, or Claude.

This will also make adding information to each page, or changing the layout of a page as simple as making a change to a single template file.

My knowledge about bitcoin and it's technical knowledge is limited to bitcointalk only not go to an extent of making my research paper, so every time if I have a query I simply refer The Lightning Network FAQ and in this case I used


Are Lightning Network payments more anonymous than on-chain transactions?

Yes, Lightning Network payments are more anonymous. They use onion routing. In short, when a payment is being routed, an intermediary node knows only the previous and the next node in the path. It is impossible to tell who initiated the payment and what the final destination is.

If what I said is false information then the guide which received hundreds of merit have wrong information too or I am reading things differently? Well anyways to prove it technically I only used "almost impossible" ≠ "impossible" which is not anything but agreeing with Sato's opinion of there are ways it can be done but I don't want to hide under that, I even responded to him that I am happy to learn if you say how it's done and change what I have told.

If we want to split hairs and pick apart everything people say, then satofan44 could also be given neutral or possibly even negative feedback for defending shady scam exchange ChangeNOW.

ChangeNOW isn’t just over complying with regulations, they outright scam people by selectively enforcing KYC and then ghosting users who actually provide their personal information in hopes of recovering their funds. It’s just one of various fronts used by Evercode Lab to scam people.

Resorting to immediately tagging people over an opinion that we feel is misleading or incorrect isn’t the best approach. It’s better to counter with facts and hope that people will become better informed.
Yet another lie posted without reading the topic. Take a hint from the topic title "Users who spread false/fake/unhelpful information on technical board".  I am not defending anyone in particular, I am discussing the topic at hand and trying to understand what is going on. Being emotional and making logically fallacious statements does not advance your position. If you have been scammed by someone, that does not change the fact that I was not scammed by the same someone. If on the other hand someone thinks that LN is centralized, that does not change the fact that this is a lie and that it is not centralized.

I don't want to offend anyone's sensibilities, as you well know I am a man of peace
In the beginning, the idea was good, and the goal was to push members who lack a small number of merits for a rank upgrade. A little stimulus for younger members is perfectly fine and proof that the forum is not as rigid as newcomers perceive it to be.
As in everything, every good idea turns into its opposition at some point, so this thread has become a place where users beg for merit and possibly congratulations on rank-up. So instead of being a place where members will prove their quality, the opposite happened.

Canaries are trust based and even if there was a warrant why would they announce it when they would lose customers?
A canary is a way of saying something without saying it, so you'll still know something happened even if they're not allowed to disclose it. If they'd lie about this, they loose all the trust they have.
LoyceV summed it pretty well. Do note that Mullvad has been - as far as we are let known - very transparent about search warrants to their service. Do check this[1] attempt of Swedish authorities to seize their data in 2023 and the follow-up here[2].

It's ironic how the police always ignores laws when it can. If you don't know the law, the police will disobey law. When I was a kid, I always thought that police follows laws but they always obey when possible, that's catastrophic.
By the way, it's strange that Mullvad has been operating for 14 years and 2023 was the year when their offices have been visited with a search warrant.

Quote
Police visited the Mullvad VPN office in Gothenburg with a search warrant.
They intended to seize computers with customer data.

In line with our policies such customer data did not exist. We argued they had no reason to expect to find what they were looking for and any seizures would therefore be illegal under Swedish law.


ProtonVPN is playing games with me. It offered me 55% discount on 2 years plan, then I revisited the pricing URL and it offered 70% discount. Finally, US$71.76 for 2 years, sounds good. I updated the title and the prices. Some VPNs became cheap and some became expensive. To be frank with you, I hate this marketing strategy of VPN providers, there is more than 50% sale all the time, what's the point of that? Just set original prices and stop bullshit marketing and promotions.

Benefits:-
If you post the number of merit(s) left for you to move to the next rank here, Merit sources, Any one and Everyone watching this topic with lots of sMerit to share might decide to take a look at your post history, to find posts that are Merit worthy to Merit so as to help you ascend.

You can send merit to any post that you like so far it is a good post. There are some merit source that rank account up on this forum like this after the person is closer to the next rank.

Since you asked, I hate this thread, and I've never merited an account because of a post I saw here. Its turned into a spam megathread; it may have started with good intentions but attracts the most desperate and cheesy elements of the forum. Having said that, I don't care if merit sources or anyone else wants to merit anyone who posts here... Do what you want, IDGAF, YOLO.
If someone is posting good, I do not think the person needs this thread at all because I noticed some merit source and some people have already known the account and they will always send the person merit so far he continues to post good. But this is still also not a bad idea at all.

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 05:36:26 AM
If you reply to trolling posts, you are feeding it and make trolleys more exciting and have motivation to continue trolling.
That will never end. By the time someone gives up and stops responding, someone else jumps in and responds to his posts again. Even with the best intentions, some users can't be helped.
I know and the forum is big enough to have many users who will ignore or join trolling discussions. I only recommend users to do their actions individually against trollers, and that's all they can do individually. As a community, other forum members must contribute and reduce replies to trolling posts but I agree with you that it is endless. There are always shitposters who don't kind what posts or topics they are replying to. They only care of making as many posts as possible for post quota, trolling or not, it is not their concerns.

Even if he was open to sharing the code, I'm not sure how willing he would be to include someone else in development or improvement. Although I would not include anyone in this case. For example, after a while, you would get bored or simply wouldn't have time to continue with it, and heLoyceV would have to fix yours in addition to his own code.

That's true. I only use that page to open a bunch of links in new tabs, other than that, it doesn't really have a function.

I noticed there's plenty of people looking to improve the tool you have built. Have you thought on making it open source? Allow people to contribute and guarantee it will be maintained in the long term? What would be the pros and cons?
It's basically just a bunch of shell scripts. There's not much to make open source, and my spaghetti code wasn't really meant to be open source.
Aside from the fact that you don't mind spending time on the appearance, it would be very useful to give some design for some of the functions on the site. Just enough to make them more functional and adapted to the human eye. For example, the unedited (or deleted) posts page for a user with a large number of posts is quite tiring to use, even for the browser itself.

Quote from: LoyceV on June 28, 2025, 08:09:43 AM
i believe these inconsistencies are usually due to the aggregator OrangeFren data refresh speed and the fast-moving nature of crypto prices
I've seen such inconsistencies too often to blame it on data refresh speed.

Whenever I use a site to compare rates at instant exchangers, I'm looking for the one that gives me (say) 0.2% better rates. If there's a 1% variation between what's shown and what I get, it's kinda pointless.
It's not just Orangefren, I remember seeing something similar on Bestchange and exchanges listed on there.

To test one of the exchanges, for example, Swapuz. I downloaded their affiliate widget and added it to one of my sites. Here is how the conversion of 0.1 ETH to USDT (trx) looks on my site and their official site



vs official:


At the same time, the difference in the current rate for the ETH/USDT pair is obvious, which adds further confusion.

It feels like there's something wrong, he should either tag both of you or not tagging at all. Let's see what he will do.
Speculative dramatization is not helpful. I am very busy and my activity is sporadic. I essentially almost never read this section. I didn't know I was included in DT2, and I didn't even know much about this system before seeing this topic. At this point I would like to say thank you to the user yahoo62278. Had he not sent me a DM about this thread, it is very likely that I would not have seen it for some time.  Smiley

I've looked into the situation again. The reason why I didn't leave a tag on dkbit98 is because of this post.

Quote from: ABCbits on June 14, 2025, 10:30:42 AM
But i expect @dkbit98 can give acceptable reasoning why he think LN is centralized, so i'll wait him to reply about it either on this or that thread.
After reading this and knowing that the user has received many merits, I decided to give them a chance to explain themselves and expected a profound answer. The answer never came. As I was busy with Lightning, I practically forgot about this. I have also left him a Tag now.



As for the feedback, there is no chance that I will remove it. The only correct thing to do is to discuss things that you have (real) knowledge in, everything else should be ignored until you have gained sufficient understanding of the topic for you to be able to make statements about it. You're welcome to participate by asking questions, but that's the extent of it. As soon as you start making unfounded statements you have started doing harm. Educating people and getting them to use Bitcoin is hard enough, and it is made even more difficult by the vast amount of misinformation about nearly every aspect of Bitcoin circulating on the internet.

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 05:40:46 PM
That's better. I still can't really comment on breaking the link between funds, as I don't really know the inner workings of LN (nodes). I know bits and pieces, but that's not enough. And I think that's kinda the point: we've seen many people posting incorrect information on the tech board, usually trying to earn Merit or they're just after those signature earnings. Either way, it's better not to have the wrong information on the tech boards.
That is also a point of the issues. You can't comment so simply on these things because the reality is very complex and nuanced. A lot of users are just repeating surface information that they've seen somewhere else. Usually it is not based on theoretical research or empirical knowledge, and as such is almost always wrong. Some posts will be wrong in the details, others will be completely wrong but the point is the same. One should not comment on it.

I mean, if you tag someone because of spreading incorrect information, why the other one didn't get it too? Cheesy

It feels like there's something wrong, he should either tag both of you or not tagging at all. Let's see what he will do.
It is because he seems to be agreeing there's different level of centralization (or he didn't want to engage with same level because the other user is already in DT and I am not).

Neutral feedback isn't that important, and I've never used "Munn" (did you mean Muun Wallet?) or "Speed", but what you wrote here matches the feedback:
Quote
This user spread false/fake information on technical board.
I think he meant to send the BTC from Muun wallet to Speed wallet using lightning network. The OP of the thread posted this:

Quote from: Jan_btc on June 11, 2025, 02:37:22 PM
I buy BTC on a KYC exchange and transfer it (on-chain) to a hot wallet on my desktop. From there I transfer it (again on-chain) to Muun wallet on my phone. From Muun I pass it through Lightning network to Speed wallet, also on my phone and finally I send it (on-chain) to my final cold storage address.

According to what I have read about lightning network in the past, it can be used to block the trace, but if someone sent certain amount of bitcoin on-chain to a wallet, open a channel, sent the coin to to another lightning wallet and close the channel on the other wallet, maybe it can be traced if it happened within a short period of time, the amount used to open and close the channel might be used for the tracing, I think. We have seen government trace monero transaction before, I guess it has to do with tracing of the amount and not an error about monero transaction anonymity at all.

I do not know about Speed wallet, I downloaded it, I input one of my useless email but it then asked me of my full name, country and state. I stopped immediately because it might even asked me to get verified but which I do not know about. People should have told the OP on the thread about how such wallet is bad for privacy. I guess it is a custodial wallet entirely. Using wallet like sending from Muun to Phoenix would have been better.

If wallets like Muun, Phoenix, Zeus, Lightning Electrum are used for it and the user does not send the full amount but divided it into different lightning wallets, it will be hard to trace.


@Bitcoin Smith, just settles this with Satofan44 through PM.

I appreciate the effort, but came to the conclusion (years ago) that I don't really want to spend more time on "looks". My site loyce.club was never meant to be used on it's own, it was simply a place to dump data that I couldn't fit in a post. And it kinda got out of hand, with currently ~15 million HTML pages. If I'd ever change things, it should be by converting everything to a database system to make it much easier to change things, but since I still know nothing about databases, that's not going to happen any time soon.
So much to do, so little time....

Well, why not give it a try!

After more than 5y the original CONTEST: design loyce.club home page still open and despite the many suggestions, the useful site still being served with pure clean html pages.

https://Loyce.Club

I know it's all about data, I value data much, but the way it could be improved is really easy, even just using simple HTML and CSS. I've contacted LoyceV in this regard and taking here the initiative to start a collective effort to gather feedback and propose a simple way to improve the design and provide a better UX to this useful tool.

Ideally I'd like to access the code to make sure the efforts on improving the UX will be implemented, otherwise it's like painting in the dark without knowing the canvas is!

I've built here a first interaction, pure CSS applied to the current HTML of the landing page. Nothing fancy, just some style and application of web standards. you can check the code and final results here https://jsitor.com/Tl0P0GGbPRD

And here another example page https://jsitor.com/cym1I8Xa203

This is simply the first interaction, and I'll continue working on it depending on the feedback I'll receive. What are your thoughts? how you'd like Loyce.Club to look? Do you have any similar website or reference we can take into account for future interactions?


Some screenshots for the records...

Well, why not give it a try!

After more than 5y the original CONTEST: design loyce.club home page still open and despite the many suggestions, the useful site still being served with pure clean html pages.

I know it's all about data, I value data much, but the way it could be improved is really easy, even just using simple HTML and CSS. I've contacted LoyceV in this regard and taking here the initiative to start a collective effort to gather feedback and propose a simple way to improve the design and provide a better UX to this useful tool.

Ideally I'd like to access the code to make sure the efforts on improving the UX will be implemented, otherwise it's like painting in the dark without knowing the canvas is!

I've built here a first interaction, pure CSS applied to the current HTML of the landing page. Nothing fancy, just some style and application of web standards. you can check the code and final results here https://jsitor.com/Tl0P0GGbPRD

This is simply the first interaction, and I'll continue working on it depending on the feedback I'll receive. What are your thoughts? how you'd like Loyce.Club to look? Do you have any similar website or reference we can take into account for future interactions?

Some screenshots for the records...

Now the question is, if they are a legitimate exchange. Suppose some of them are owned by one person/company. I feel like most copy/paste exchanges are either owned by the same group of people, or the template is available online at a very cheap price. LoyceV pointed out a very important thing. I don't even know where the Seychelles are, and if this is too popular to get a license for an exchange.

All six domain registrars are NameSilo, and the Registrant State/Province: AZ.
Interesting.

It seems to depend on the browser: it doesn't show in Firefox, but it works in Chromium.

Probably. In that case, your suggestion makes sense because making the date clickable on that page will be helpful for users using browsers other than Chrome in clicking or accessing the links of a user's posts/threads from their "Latest posts of:" page.

Quote from: Shishir99 on Today at 02:25:12 PM
I have been browsing the service announcement board and the exchange board. I noticed a couple of exchanges that use the same template with minor changes. Also, a couple of them use a similar title, and their posting pattern is the same as well.

If you check those exchange websites, you will notice they just changed the background color and the theme color. Almost everything else is the same. Who copied whom, actually? Are they legit?
none of them are actually real exchanges, all of them are just a simple wordpress website and they seems to be an affiliate using an exchange widget connected to an exchange called coinall, which i have never even heard of before.
at least that's where some of the widget assets are hosted.

this alone is enough evidence to know they are all controlled by the same person/entity. like what are the odds all the domains are .io and are all registered with the same registrar?

I'll only provide one counter-argument: what if a topic starter goes crazy and wipes everything? Some users could even drop back in Rank if that wiped their Merit.

Fair enough. Then I guess we'll have to leave things as they are, because I don't think disabling merits for a whole thread is reasonable. Smiley

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 01:49:31 PM
Here's another forum suggestion: Some users turned the title of their posts (or more likely: topics) into something that can't be clicked. You'll have to look at the page source to find the link now. Even if it's empty, clicking the link would at least show the topicID, which allows to look it up on external archives.
Would it be possible to make something other than the title clickable? Say the post number, the date, or even the "/"?

Post numbers are already clickable:

Il mio obbiettivo l'ho raggiunto e ne sono più che contento, ovviamente non mi fermerò qui ma continuerò a essere presente il più tempo possibile e scalare la classifica, sono a buon punto, mi manca soltanto scavalcare 1024 utenti ahahah.
Dai prossimo step entrare nella top 500 non sarebbe male che ne dite?
Perché esiste una classifica dei migliori utenti?
Se si dove si può visionare?
Ti risparmio la fatica: @fillippone è al primo posto in tutte le categorie Grin
Dici davvero? Quindi il migliore utente lo abbiamo noi?
Visto che crea post davvero interessanti e pieni grafici e statistiche potevo anche aspettarmelo, ma pensavo che ci fossero molti altri utenti tra le prime posizioni.
Pero nella foto che ha postato lillominato89 ci sono dati e icone che io non vedo su di voi, come mai?

Allora la classifica esiste ma non è ufficialmente una classifica del forum, o per meglio dire è fornita da un sito terzo, la puoi trovare su bpip.org che è praticamente un database a tutti gli effetti dove puoi trovare le statistiche di ogni singolo utente di questo forum compreso te stesso.
Ogni utente ha una pagina dove puoi vedere i Merit guadagnati e quelli inviati, i feedback le Activity, chi sono i tuoi fans (cioè chi ti manda i Merit, e sappi che anche in questo caso fillippone è il miglior tifoso di ogniuno di noi  Grin ) chi sono i tuoi utenti preferiti o meglio a chi invii i Merit e tanto altro che non ricordo momentaneamente.
Per quanto riguarda i dati e le icone che vedi sotto il mio profilo nella foto, quello è un Add-ons di Firefox appunto di bpip, basta aggiungerlo e puoi vederlo anche tu, le icone si riferiscono ad alcuni progetti, uno è bpip, uno è ninjastic e uno è loycev's su quest'ultimo lascio la parola a fillippone o babo per spiegarti cosa sia, ninjastic è un sito dove puoi vedere le tue statistiche, quanti post scrivo dove li scrivi, quanti Merit guadagni in un certo lasso di tempo ecc ecc ecc. Dai uno sguardo tu stesso, sono carini

Quote from: Pmalek on June 15, 2025, 07:35:15 AM
Synchronization issues is something I noticed with Unstoppable Wallet the first time I tested it and it immediately gave me bad vibes and I didn't like it. This is again something related to the wallet not syncing properly. Does the problem at least get fixed after the transaction confirms on the blockchain or after a restart of the app or do the wrong balances remain for a lengthier time?

I never had any sync issues , maybe because I store coins which have no sync issues in Unstoppable. I heard LTC having sync issues (I don't have litecoins), and also I don't use Unstoppable for Bitcoin. For Ethereum, Solana and most of the Ethereum and Solana-based altcoins, there are no issues at all in this wallet.

Quote from: LoyceV on June 16, 2025, 05:39:34 AM
For LTC, I've had sync problems since October 2023. It's been working correctly on and off, which makes it unreliable. For this reason, I finally uninstalled Unstoppable wallet. It doesn't do the name justice.

So, which wallet do you use these days for altcoins and especially what is the best wallet for stablecoins (USDT / USDC) ?

All true. But I don't think that's enough to kill Merit in that thread.
Now that I think about it: Merit could be isolated there: I often see "+1 WO Merit" written in that topic. This could actually be made into a thing: WO Merit that only shows in the WO thread. Users could even have different ranks there than on the rest of the forum. And now that I type it, I don't think it's very useful (but it sounds fun).

we would game that system to the utmost maximum for the fun. +WOmerit banks, loans, futures, im sure this could go on for.. a while. or not

I suppose "popular consensus" deemed that it is not. I will live somehow, I suppose. However, I still think it would be fun to have an option to turn merits off when creating new threads. Could be useful if a thread creator wants to dissuade posters whose sole goal is to obtain merits...

I remember at some point one or two WO regulars did (somewhat jokingly) attempt to keep track of peoples' WOmerits. Then a "game" was even developed to use WOmerits for making price prediction bets.

Of many posts in WO deserve merits. And many users there doesn't even have a signature campaign.. 

Yeah so they don't need merits... not to re-open this can of worms but its long been a hive for merit farming suckups, who IMHO detract from the overall vibe of the WO.

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 01:28:09 PM
The problem (if there is such a thing) is that some Newbies use it to earn (or "farm") Merit, but that only works because some other users think their posts are worth it.

Actually, the evil fee you are referring to isn't something that everyone has to pay when they are creating an account on Bitcointalk, but it's only added or asked for accounts that are created using an IP address that was previously used to create an account, and that account got banned. When an account gets banned, that IP and some nearby IPs get an evil score. This is what @theymos said about it:

Quote from: theymos on July 27, 2014, 04:08:57 AM
When you register, the IP that you used when you submitted the registration form is used to calculate your evilness. The more frequently this IP or its neighbors were banned, the more evil is associated with your account. The amount of evil associated with an IP decays slowly over time, but the amount of evil associated with an account does not. You must pay or be manually whitelisted to enable posting on one of these "banned" accounts.

We also have some reputed members, such as @LoyceV, who can whitelist users upon request in their thread, and then they won't need to pay the evil fee. Still, there is no guarantee that one is going to get whitelisted only by requesting, because @theymos said that the process shouldn't allow people to evade bans. Still, it should be a relief for those who didn't do anything wrong but got an evil score because of someone else doing something wrong around them:

Quote from: theymos on July 19, 2021, 08:25:17 PM
If any very-veteran members want to volunteer, I can give you the ability to whitelist users. (All Staff can already whitelist users, as well.) Perhaps then someone could create a topic like "List of email addresses for people who can whitelist you for free", which I could link-to on the evil fee page. However, these IPs have evil for a reason. If it was sufficient for them to just solve a captcha or something, I'd have them do that. Before whitelisting someone, you have to do something to be pretty sure that they're not evading a ban and just going to get banned again. You may get the impression from complaints on the forum that everyone hits the fee and it's never warranted, but this is selection bias: the fee is more rare, and the vast majority of accounts that hit it should not be whitelisted.

So, it's something to punish the rule breakers and not for every new and normal user. Smiley

How about this? Banned Users Identifier
Yeah it does work and it uses the list from  LoyceV ,mentioned on his/her thread Smiley instead of me updating the list from time to time. Also, it has both extension and the user-script attached..It’s more like using the list without having to search manually through the file.

@holydarkness this is not about a proof that a warning was sent from Betby to XYes, this is about proof that there was arbitrage betting. For that you would need to have 2 bet slips, both with comparable stakes on the opposite outcomes of the same event. This is not do-able on the same bookmaker (because they have a bookie margin that makes it impossible to arb within the same book) so the 2nd betting slip would have to be from another book (for example Pinnacle) and it would be impossible for you nor XYes to have obtained this.

The problem here is, that's the exact same side of the coin. It's the cause and effect instead of two separate matters. Speaking in general, the provider sent their flag to casinos about arbing or other violation the providers detect, and the casinos act accordingly to this flag. The casino does not need two bet slips to compare stakes of the opposite outcome of the same events, the provider did this.

All bets were submitted to the providers. They have all the bet slips and the history. And as established, arbing has telltale. Overtime, these telltale became more and more prominent that the provider will notice. Also has been established, both casinos and provider has their own detection algorithms. Sooner or later, the provider will catch up, and after that, it's only matter of time for them to catch the arbing by matching the history of repeated strange numbers across casinos, then a flag raised.

Not to mention that it is not too far fetched to think that it is possible that those providers communicate with each others in terms of crosschecking violators. Everyone hates violators. And enemy of my enemy is my friend, so, is it impossible to think Betby say, "hi Pinnacle, I'm sending you user with this details, can you share me his betslips from date x to y? I'll return with the result."?

And once that flag raised, it follows you everywhere. You can buy time by using different device or email or wallet, but their detection is [as I've witnessed myself] very complex, they'll catch up with you, eventually.

I thought, since holydarkness has been doing this for a long time, the company should be able to show the proof to him, and he should be able to do it for the player. I initially mentioned LoyceV and holydarkness since they are reputed forum members. But you already accused holydarkness of being a liar. I would be happy to invite nutildah since he has been watching the thread for a while. I would talk to Xyes and send the documents to them to verify. But there is no guarantee you would stop spreading FUD Rating Place. You might say LoyceV or even nutildah lies. So, what is the solution actually? Pay the extortionists?

No need for that. I've come to the precipice of coming to the end of this case. Introducing another prominent member will only force them to face the unnecessary character assasination and mud slinging that you just witnessed for the past two pages of a supposedly headache-free* case. My name is already full of mud from the haters who can't accept a verdict of a case. I can take more.

Not to mention that XYes will have to start from the beginning again. Which... rather likely will then ends up just like what happened here with me. Then we look for another DT, and the circe restarted. As I'm nearing the end of it, might as well endure another mud-slinging and put my thick skin and focus on the player and case at hand and ignore unnecessary noises from statement-chameleon.

*as long as you take favor of the player



I've been waiting here for more than 3 weeks for proof of my arbitration, will I wait for them or will I listen to strange accusations for the amounts of bets that I placed on sports. Everyone has had enough that xyes casino is simply deceiving everyone, they deceived everyone with their fake license, their fake casino without kyc verification, their fake 800 thousand players. And people with avatar casino are still trying to prove us the opposite? You are already funny, bring your casino here and let them prove my arbitration, if they can't then these accusations are a lie like everything else.

OP, focus on me.

This is my latest proposal [#99] to see the end of this case. My attempt to deescalate matters. As what I always do. If I may repeat and make it easier:



1. They will void your supposed arb-winnning, amounted 208.03
2. They will honor your legitimate winning, amounted 733.47
3. If I recall correctly, they've return your principal of 410
4. Thus, the amount payable to you is 323.47

Do you accept this?

If you do, I'll try to talk them into it. I can't guarantee they'll accept, but I'll try and give my best. Otherwise, find other who want to mediate "bridge".

Hahaha, you have absolutely no idea how sportsbetting works obviously. Pinnacle is an ARB-FRIENDLY bookmaker so they are never ever gonna share user details. They trust their lines enough that anyone is welcome to bet on it without ever getting limited or banned. So surely they are not gonna leak personal data of users to third parties.
Also, how on earth does Betby know if it was Pinnacle that was used as the 2nd book for the arb? It could just as easily have been an asian book, or an exchange, are they really gonna contact them all?
And next to that, most asians and exchanges (and Pinnacle too) are also accessible via betting brokers, where it's even impossible to trace down a bet to a name of the person placing this bet.

Absolutely bullshit what you are suggesting here.

It is very simple: Betby can spot value betting, not arbing.

My purpose is not to sling mud at you, my purpose is to teach you a bit of how sportsbetting works. Because from reading your posts I can see you don't know much yet. You probably dealt mostly with casino related cases. I am not saying you are a bad person but I'm saying you judgement is clouded by a lack of understanding of the sportsbetting business.
My last lesson then: Yes, Pinnacle may have been just an example. But with any arb there is a soft and a sharp bookie involved. Betby clearly is the soft side, so the arb side can be several books: Pinnacle, Exchanges or Asians. They all have in common that they have so much confidence in their lines that they do not limit individually and thus are arb-friendly. There is no cheating involved by betting on those books so they will never give up user data.

You can throw away your idea of another book sharing a bet slip with a name to it. Absolutely impossible.
It is very simple: Betby noticed that all or most bets of the user were on value odds, hence they labelled him a value bettor with +EV bets. This is not forbidden according to XYes terms. And to still be able to confiscate the winnings XYes changed the wording from value to arb. And that is nasty.

Which brings me to the next shower thought: what if everyone were to freeze their pizza, and ship it frozen to a pizza escrow. The escrow chops all pizzas into 200 parts, and anyone who wants to vote can order 200 144 frozen and numbered pizza particles for a taste test. The winner of the pizza tasting gets to sell pizzas for Bitcoin Tongue

What if the pizza escrow scams everyone? Lol

Honestly most of the pizzas look pretty bad. No offense. But I can kind of imagine how they'd taste already and, nah I'm good. Pizza Escrow only needs to send me about 15 pieces. Of course dividing a pizza into 200 parts means you might get a sliver of crust or something, which might not be very representative of the pizza's overall taste. Please tell the Pizza Escrow that I want middle pieces only.

I checked just now and they seemed ok, I'll keep an eye out for it.

Suggestion: When I search to exchange a certain amount, you link to the site with a referral id. But what's missing in the link is the trade pair I'm looking for, so I have to enter it again on the site. Could you add the trade pair to the link? That's what your competitor does.
We already do that for some exchanges, but most don't support it. We'll reach out to their teams and ask if there's an undocumented way of doing it.

Have you ever seen a casino post a screenshot of two bet slips to prove that a player was doing arbitrage activity? Can you share any examples from this forum? I don't think even Betby sends the other bet information to the casino. All they do is mark the bet ID and user ID and warn the casino about the arbitrage activity. Forget about how much the player made or what is going to be. According to the casino rules, arbitrage betting is not allowed. Usually, casinos never share this information with anyone except for mediator services. So, why not create a complaint on the mediator website and invite Xyes to prove their claims instead of spreading FUD?

Quote from: bias on Today at 04:15:35 PM
We achieved a deal last week and found several potentiel buyers these last weeks.
Talk is easy. Now sign a message from one of those 1000+ BTC wallets saying "Hi LoyceV I'm Romain_OTC and today is June 23, 2025", and I'll believe you.
I'm not the owner of the wallets, I am a broker working with the miner. They will not sign a wallet just because a random guy on a forum asks them. If you're a serious buyer, at first they send you bitcoin adress, you send them usdt adress like the process requires. So first they can see you have USDT, then they will be willing to sign the adress to prove you their ownership, and then we can perform the tests.

To start, you came here and created a thread, not us. You are looking for random guys from a forum and that's what you get. So, stop this crap about it. If you want serious buyers, then be a serious seller because until now, you have been a joker. You are not the owner, yet you post for them without any proper evidence that you even exist.

For your information we already found 2 serious buyers who contacted me privately after reading this topic, and I provides them all the proofs they asked. Please do not unfairly smear my reputation without knowing anything about me. I am only interested in constructive and serious discussions.

We achieved a deal last week and found several potentiel buyers these last weeks.
Talk is easy. Now sign a message from one of those 1000+ BTC wallets saying "Hi LoyceV I'm Romain_OTC and today is June 23, 2025", and I'll believe you.
I'm not the owner of the wallets, I am a broker working with the miner. They will not sign a wallet just because a random guy on a forum asks them. If you're a serious buyer, at first they send you bitcoin adress, you send them usdt adress like the process requires. So first they can see you have USDT, then they will be willing to sign the adress to prove you their ownership, and then we can perform the tests.

To start, you came here and created a thread, not us. You are looking for random guys from a forum and that's what you get. So, stop this crap about it. If you want serious buyers, then be a serious seller because until now, you have been a joker. You are not the owner, yet you post for them without any proper evidence that you even exist. You are not a broker, nor do you cooperate with any miner; that's the truth. Everything else that you post is simply "talk of the air" from another troll/ scammer who thinks and believes that we are idiots and he is the smart one.

I was wondering if I could vote for my pizza ?  Tongue
I would not do that, but there are no usernames written under each pizza images so...
Maybe it's not a bad idea to think about making small change of rules for the next year competition.

Isn't that something every politician does in every election? I wouldn't do it.
Only difference that voting is done in private way behind the curtain, while in Bitcointalk Pizza Day you have to vote publicly Wink

The idea that a machine attempting to emulate a human being can further "humanize" its output is absurd. The machine is doing all the work -- there is no human beings involved in "humanization."

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 05:23:31 AM
Most of the time I can't get myself to read AI output. It just feels wrong.

It is clear that you make little use of AI. I talk to it every day (if you can apply the concept “talk” here) and especially in short answers it is indistinguishable to humans. I would say, and this is my hypothesis, that over time it will happen as with automatic translators, it is increasingly difficult to know whether a translation has been done by a human or an automatic translator. And for short texts, impossible.

The last thing I'm doing is learning about endocrine disruptors and gradually changing everything I have at home to disruptors free. No diarrhea, no vomiting. Learning quickly, practically and spending much less time than if I had to look up the information myself.

If that would be true, you'd be able to show convincing evidence.
What kind of proof are you expecting from us — client names and transaction history? Come on, that’s not even serious. We’re offering to use any trusted escrow service of your choice. The rest just sounds like amateur talk — no offense.

It probably stores everything it ever created, so in this case they know how it was generated. Now add some spelling mistakes and make the language less complicated, and it'll be harder to detect.

Lol.  Grin You could be right, they probably have a record of every data that goes through any of their tools, and their detector might be using that data for detecting the content along with other metrics that they might have added through algorithms, etc.

Response generated through ChatGPT:
I'd say it's a generic shitpost. It uses fancy words and most of it is correct, but it doesn't add anything. It sounds like listening to the average politician: using as many words as possible to say nothing the reader doesn't know yet, but you can agree with it because it's (more or less) correct.

Of course, it is a generic shitpost with fancy words and correct grammar, that's what these LLMs are good at. If you ever notice, when an AI model, or an LLM, is fed some text and asked to generate something using that, either an answer or anything, it will basically take that content, twist it, correct the mistakes if there are any, paraphrase every sentence, maybe add a few extra lines but with the same context or meaning, and then present that to you as the response. You can even see this if you look at @nutildah's post that I used, and the AI-generated response to it that you just read.

Unfortunately I don't see any rules of giving merit in voting thread, unlike in voting community awards. It's fine for users to give merit for their effort to create their own pizzas, but this one doesn't looks okay.
It's not okay to Merit votes, they're not "good posts" no matter who they vote for. There's a reason the pizzas don't have a name attached to them in the voting topic, and Meriting users who vote for you is at the very least unethical.
I'm glad that this issue has resurfaced in this general thread because most of us who participated in the contest who may have had better pizzas, but because no one goes to the pizzas anymore, they only observe where you can get a reward and vote him. I believe the moderators will look into it and also set the rules straight during next year competition.

I wouldn't be surprised if the AI-companies end up earning from both sides: earn from creating spam, and earn again from detecting their own spam. It's like creating virusses to sell your virus scanner.

It's already happening:



Quillbot is a website that allows you to generate AI texts, has an AI text detector, and also allows you to humanize AI-generated content, lol.
I don't feel like people are looking at the long game here as far as AI and this forum is concerned. Yes you can generate posts, yes you could build some sort of detector, yes it probably has some good things. The issue is what happens when this forum is just AI generated posts? All the real users dropping knowledge and helping bitcoin grow disappear. Forum starts slowly dying and all these people that were too lazy to make an actual contribution and only thought about making a few bucks will have to look for a new income source and 1 that likely pays a lot less.

So While I think detecting AI and getting rid of those that are using it here on the forum would be a great idea, I also think it won't happen and my above concern will happen.

In your poll, I could not vote because the options are limited. If the process is automated, who will use the tool; any forum member or only the moderators. I'll suggest only moderators have it to avoid unnecessary dramas. Such that when a particular user is reported to moderators for spamming, Ai spamming or plagerism, they will have to check the profile for previous actions and draw a nice decision.


Op, can you run the profile of LoyceV with your bot? I want to see his score, I heard he is half human, half bolt (winks)

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 03:24:57 PM
Firstly, I’ll check the balance with the uncompressed master public key and the compressed master public key using 2 watch-only wallets. If the balance is different, I’d need to import both WIF private keys. If the balance is the same, my idea is to import the uncompressed WIF.
Third option: if both balances are zero, check the addresses on a block explorer because of this:
It is possible your old Bitcoins were sent to pubkey instead of the Bitcoin address. If that's the case, Electrum can't handle "send to pubkey" inputs so you can't use it to sign offline.

Good to know. It's important to keep this possibility in mind.
Thanks.

What does that even mean?

It means that I see a viscerality in this issue that stands out over your usual rationality.

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 09:23:38 AM
A thick skin against spam? I've been following AI Spam Report Reference Thread, and I think the forum is far too lenient on chatbot spammers.

Perhaps the forum does not share that visceral vision.

And don't you think the thread itself is pretty lenient? According to the rules of the thread an account could create generated AI posts, tweak them a bit himself and as long as they were detected below 70% generated AI he shouldn't be tagged. I guess spammers don't do it because they are too lazy.

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 09:23:38 AM
It's easy to spam, hard to detect, and without strong punishment, the spammers can actually win this.

Win what? Spammers are too dumb to be able to generate premium content using AI.

I think it's called monopoly or Cannibalization and that's exactly the point why this AI companies are busy creating new tools to still maintain it's position in the market. You're right! they are profiting from the both side.

To OP don't you think it makes zero sense to fight something with the same thing? you want to fight AI spam with AI detector.

The solution you offer is already stereotype or judged before you even posted it, as long as you already have an issue whatever you offer now as solution will be sense as a means to justify your actions.

The forum could use AI to fight against AI, Scams and Spam.

I imagine it's like the anti-plagiarism tools you are proposing. Internet made plagiarism easier and at the same time plagiarism detectors emerged.

Quote from: seoincorporation on Today at 04:10:27 AM
And my question for the community is: Is it really worth trying to automate a process like this, or are we fine with the current situation?

I think you will be more successful if you present something that works and make it available to the community. After you have been posting in a paid campaign with your AI agent without disclosing anything until you get caught if you want to present a solution you better present a solution that is real and works. You are going to have more chances of good reception by the community. You've already seen the first response.

Then, assuming it works, we'll have to see if it gives false positives and such.
