Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 09:43:12 PM
I have experienced this numerous times already.
Does this happen every time, or only once every few restarts? I just stopped and started mine (running Bitcoin Core 28.0) without problems. See tmp.loyce.club/testnet4_debug.log for my last 10,000 debug.log entries.
You need to start it after a long period of inactivity, so that CPU miner Bob has reorged another CPU miner Charlie (the chain of which you were following) and an ASIC miner mined on top of Bob instead of Charlie.

Try stopping it, and starting it tomorrow at the current time. It has to be definitely this, because the error clearly says that another block header was expected, which signifies the chain was reorged, and now my chain, and therefore my index is questioned.

Did you pull this out of a chatbot?
It's too much work to manually do this often, and now the time is hardcoded instead of adjusted based on the user's time zone.
I do not know how moderators handle reports, but if could  there be a way to have a list of fixed quotes( something like what you have up here or other suggestions) which can be selected by a mod to replace the deleted post. The post would still be deleted as usual, but its content would eventually be replaced with a selected format in existing quotes made by other users.

In other words, a report could list every identifier of posts that quoted the deleted one, and then the quoted content could be updated using an option chosen by a moderator.

Another constraint is that mods aren't allow to update a post. Is it?

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 10:32:49 AM
Quote
If you never claim the prize, you'll never pay anything, because in the end nobody knows who won.
Even in this example, you'd have to report owning the winning ticket to taxes. Not claiming the prize doesn't mean you don't have to pay taxes.

If you never declare and never claim the prize, you will never pay anything, nor logically receive anything. That's because without a ticket, there's no proof that the prize is yours.

Having the ticket and claiming the prize is one thing. Even if you haven't received the money yet, you'll still have to pay the tax.
Another thing is that if you don't claim the prize, even if you keep the ticket in a safe, no one from the government will know you have it. If years later (I think there's a deadline to claim the prize), you go and claim the prize, logically you'll have to pay the tax.

Either way, it's a problem I'll never experience because I simply don't participate in those things.

Food for thought again, with a hypothetical scenario (or not so hypothetical).

1. The forum is monitored by the authorities.
2. A company has scammed people, or wants to launder money and they launch a signature campaign in the forum.
3. The authorities know about the existence of this company and they monitor the transactions (users, amounts, blockchain data etc).
4. The authotities search for a specific user and find their real-life data (not very difficult to do - trust me).
5. Now, they simply keep track of the user's actions.

Would this user prefer to have declared all of their income, showing that they got it simply for advertising reasons or would he prefer to keep everything in the shadows?
Would this user be able to spend easily (or cash out) his stash after 10 years of being paid? Would he be bothered by the authorities if he tried to cash out a significant amount of money? Or buy a car for example.

This situation always has to involve very high values.

Now, when a person wants to make a move through the legal system, so to speak, they have to file a declaration. Then, they just need proof of the origin. The problem is never at the entrance, it's at the exit. When you leave, you have to prove the origin. Whether you should have paid something beforehand or not is another question, but as long as the person pays, everything is fine.

Ultimately, it is up to each individual to act based on the information and evidence they have.

I get that OP doesn't want to risk that.

Exactly! Everyone's lives are different, so in my case, it isn't worth the risk. Life's brought things that way that I have to account for multiple lives now, not only mine, so I'm de-risking every possible issue.

Quote from: alani123 on Today at 10:51:13 AM
I mean yeah on theory the authorities can target you for whatever they fuck they want. But until very recently there was no legal framework to charge someone with tax evasion over just getting money for crypto. It was legal to sell and use cash for your everyday needs. But yeah after a certain level there are issues otherwise. For instance EU forbids cash transactions over 500€ EUR.

Honestly, the only thing I want in my life is simplicity. I want to have the minimum amount of interaction with the State that's possible.

I'll just leave my "AI neutral tag", to stop people from wasting more time on this user. If only he would just get banned....
I changed my mind. It was pretty much his entire history. It seems his remaining post was deleted also, so looks like another staff users deleted that. I've nuked the account. I try to be lenient, but I also don't want to do a disservice to the existing community, because users are reporting these types of users, and while the reported posts might get dealt with, they might slip under the radar in the future and that's when the community starts losing faith in us moderators.

So, I revisited it, and nuked the account. They've been caught before, they got caught this time, and will likely continue in the future as none of their posts remained on their profile so at that point there's not a lot of benefit of the doubt to be given.

Thanks for everyone that does report these, as well as post here highlighting these types of users.

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 08:17:47 AM
But this case is correct. The player received the money.
If he never reports the ticket, even though he won, he will never receive the money.
It's more fun than that: if you own a winning lottery ticket on December 31st, and your house including the ticket burns down from fireworks right after midnight, you still owe taxes. So you'd better plan your boating accident carefully Wink

Now I don't understand. If you never claim the prize, nobody knows who won. Buying a lottery ticket remains anonymous (or am I mistaken? I don't play, so I don't know). If you never claim the prize, you'll never pay anything, because in the end nobody knows who won.

Generally speaking, I understand that things are already complicated with Bitcoin in some countries.

Fortunately, in Portugal – not yet – it's not complicated; you just need to know how to manage it well. But you never know what the authorities will come up with tomorrow.

Quote from: KingsDen on January 22, 2026, 08:26:54 PM
Still no higher rank after Legendary which is a shame as that’s something I think that would be a good addition. It’s fairly easy to become a Legendary Member within, let’s say 5-6 years.

I think we need something for the >10,000 Merit Received and >4000 Activity crew, something that takes more than a decade to achieve.

If it takes more than a decade to reach such a rank, do you really think there will be many newbies who will genuinely set this goal and achieve it? The rank you’re proposing will be obtained by those who have already grown into it anyway and have accumulated the required amount of merit and activity — those who have already spent around 10 years on the forum, maybe a bit less. Overall, nothing will change. It will just be a label under the profile, and it won’t add any motivation. Newbies struggle even to reach Full Member, let alone a rank beyond Legendary.
Very true... A newbie can confidently set the goal of becoming a legendary member and it will damn happen. But if a rank that takes upto a decade to be achieved is introduced, no newbie will want to set the goal to make it to that rank.
Meanwhile, before that 10 years, there will be call for another rank.

I think I am used to this legendary as the highest rank. Last year when I was active in the Altcoinstalks forum, I didn't care or even regard ranks higher than legendary. I always treated legendary as the highest rank. Meanwhile, here in the forum, I don't fail to recognise and respect people with higher merits, activity and post count. Then TBH, men like LoyceV, fillippone, etc deserve another rank lol.

There are also no guarantees that the forum will even exist in 10 years. The world is changing day by day, technologies are evolving very quickly, and especially online communication platforms. Forums mostly exist for those who don’t find this format too outdated or strange, or for those who have already gotten used to it. And it’s clear that those who are used to it have already had time to grow into meaningful ranks. But newbies who register today won’t be motivated by a high rank that takes 10 years to reach, without knowing what will happen in a year or two, let alone in a decade.

Quote from: LucyFurr on January 18, 2026, 09:58:20 PM
No, finding the number of users is not possible, only the number of total bitcoin addresses with value is possible.
55,335,135 funded Bitcoin addresses on January 14, 2026
  21,555,149 of those start with 1
  6,388,369 of those start with 3
  22,594,205 of those start with bc1q
  4,741,216 of those start with bc1p

If total number of funded bitcoin address is around 55 million then how is it even possible for one country alone to have 80 million. Now it looks the data shared in that image is inaccurate even if we add those fake bitcoins in the name of ETF and tokens.

This is because a lot of Indians have their coins on exchanges like Binance which basically pools the users' funds into their own address instead of holding their funds in individual addresses.
This consolidates the users' holdings into just a few addresses. Thus millions of peoples' funds are basically stored in a few addresses only.
The above funded bitcoin addresses are just taken into count when balance is greater than zero.

For exchange deposit addresses, the funds are moved into exchange addresses thus keeping individual deposit addresses to zero and thus skipping those addresses.
May be this is why the number of bitcoin funded addresses on-chain is far lower than actual number of Indian bitcoin owners.
But yeah, it is true that India has the highest number of bitcoin owners as posted by multiple sites.

What's the verdict on Newbie BitadzZ?
I think its AI, and have removed the posts that were reported. Obviously, they have a history of using AI pointed out by ABCbits above. Although, that wasn't the only contributing factor. I find the AI tends to:

- Add a lot of 'fluff' without actually nailing the point. Which BitadzZ typically did a lot in those posts.
- Uses weird words at certain points, because it hallucinates. BitadzZ did do this quite a lot, so its either being word spinned or ran through a translator a few times
- AI is overly polite and follows a sort of standard I agree with you on these x,y,z but....then goes onto explain what you can do better etc. BitadzZ did that a lot in those posts.

I think they are trying to mask the fact they are using AI though. Adding certain imperfections, usually not through misspellings or anything like that, but rather changing words which results in less natural way of writing text sometimes it does hallucinate. AI usually is good at flow of a sentence, which humans aren't. Also, generally users have a sort of consistent way of speaking, but every post came across different.

Also, their posts were grammatically correct almost every single time without a single mistake. I don't know what you, but I tend to edit my posts a lot due to mistakes.

So, when combining all of these factors, plus their use of AI in the past which also demonstrated a little of the above points. Deleted posts, and will be keeping an eye on them.

Fun you say. I think Theymos messing with people’s rank on April fool’s days is enough fun already (which I don’t find amusing enough) rather than messing with the ranking system for fun, I think it’ll more appropriate to try something else. Cos tinkering with the ranking system for no other reason but fun feels a bit unnecessary. I don’t know about others but I think the ranking system is meant to predictable, consistent and earned, and not something people have to second guess. It works better when they’re stable, boring and fair, not something someone can just wake up one morning and alter cos they wanna have fun. I mean fun’s cool but not when it comes at the expense of people’s trust in the system. My 1 cent opinion.

If you have a winning scratch-off ticket but never scratch it, you never receive the prize even though technically it's yours.  Cool
That's not going to work, there have been lawsuits about this, taxes won. Someone won 20 million on December 31, and received the money on January 4. He had to pay savings tax on money he didn't own yet.

But this case is correct. The player received the money.
If he never reports the ticket fraud, even though he won, he will never receive the money.

Either way, I think you understood the idea I wanted to convey.  Tongue

I think we need something for the >10,000 Merit Received and >4000 Activity crew, something that takes more than a decade to achieve.
Back in 2018, I suggested this:
We're going to need another rank above Legendary eventually (if we don't already). Not sure what it should be called, but others have suggested some titles somewhere.
I'd say just "Legend" sounds good. Or maybe just add a bold font to the current Legendary rank.
By now, I suggest just "old", or "golden oldie" Tongue
There are already 3 users that has more than 5000 activity.
I don't think theymos is going to add a new Rank that only he and one other user qualify for. So the suggested requirements are too high.

A new rank might not be a bad idea.. Maybe activity of 3,000 and merit of 6,000 (2x the activity)

or

maybe even better activity of 3,000 and merit of 4,500 (1.5x the activity).

A higher than Legendary rank necessary or not?  I am not sure, even though several times over the years, I have seen proposals for a higher than Legendary rank.

That's a good question, and part of why using a QR code can help prevent clipboard hijacking malware. The address isn't being pulled off your clipboard. However, using a QR code will NOT ensure your safety if your phone was already infected. Sophisticated malware may still intercept your transaction or manipulate your wallet app.

Best practice is:

  • Always  verify first and last characters of the address after scanning.
  • Use a trusted wallet app and ensure that your operating system is updated.

If you definitely think that you are infected, do not use that particular device for your transaction. Scanning helps, but most importantly, security matters.

If there's a way to go about it with offline P2P or whatever, why not use the address of a trusted person outside of your country to enroll in signature campaign. When it's time to sell off, you do it with the said P2P. I don't know if it's making sense. But it will be wise to have someone from another country receiving and keeping your campaign pays while you await the tax rule changes or find an alternative.

As if the 2% over total investments per year we pay already isn't enough! Government wants more and more money.
"The poor" get money from government, "the rich" don't have taxable income nor taxable wealth, and this will make sure middle class will not own anything in the long run.
Imagine Bitcoin going up 400% in a year. That means paying 36% tax on 80% of your Bitcoin, basically forcing you to sell 28.8% just to pay your tax for just that year.
Are boating accidents with bitcoin a common thing in the Netherlands? If they aren't, they should be. I hope more and more Dutch bitcoin holders will have boating accidents. The government deserves it. After all, why don't they use the taxpayer money to better protect their coastline on the North Sea against such accidents? it's dangerous to take your crypto out on the boat.

You've been her longer than me. How are you going to answer the questions your bank will ask when you receive a large sum of money after selling your signature earnings from years ago? That's why I'm being lawful, it's basically a get out of jail free card for later.
I don't know where you're from, but if it wasn't a pain in the ass here and such a lengthy process, perhaps I would consider declaring them as well. The current legislation makes it unprofitable to earn an X sum of money through campaigns, just to spend a Y fixed amount on taxes every month.

Oops, that's another view. The more I think about it, the deeper it gets.
The main blocker now is what you've mentioned in the first quote, that the quotes can be edited. If not for that, then editing manually by a mod using this:
Quote from: DubemIfedigbo001 on Today at 05:38:13 AM
When the page is rendered subsequently, the quote remain normal but the initial harmful content is replaced by your message DELETED BY A MOD
....could have worked, but then persistence across existing quotes (the affected post) and maybe the introduction of new complications is also another thing to consider..

Quote from: The Cryptovator on Today at 11:16:32 AM

But I don't think it's helpful to verify the quote, because it's easy to manipulate the quote. Rather simply, you can archive the quote and post the link as well, besides quoting someone's post. So we can verify whether the quote is authentic or not. Your suggestion would just increase developers' jobs and not help forum users, though it could be simply implemented by a line of code about return page.
Yes, you're right, but the issue is that no one knows the reason it might have been deleted when it's being clicked and nothing shows up, as long as it's a single post and not a thread. Unless it could just redirect them to the page showing the reason why the post was deleted. So even if anyone already quoted it and they try to see that particular quote, it redirects to that page (I am not sure every user will like this either, apart from those who won't even bother to narrow down to the post).

Quote from: coinlary on Today at 01:19:59 AM
Now, here is where I come up with this suggestion:
How about we have a short tag beside the quote that was deleted, such as "DELETED BY MOD", only when a post was already quoted by other users before it was deleted by a mod.
I noticed last day regarding your quote, and that was missing. Implementing your suggestion won't solve anything at all; you can just add or edit if the quote is deleted as @LoyceV suggested. But from the forum end, a message could be added for the deleted quote. For example, if a thread is deleted, we can see a message like the one below:

Quote
The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.

For deleting a quote or reply, they would use another message just for formalities;

"The replies/quote you are looking for appear to be deleted by a mod or user."

But I don't think it's helpful to verify the quote, because it's easy to manipulate the quote. Rather simply, you can archive the quote and post the link as well, besides quoting someone's post. So we can verify whether the quote is authentic or not.

What's the verdict on Newbie bitehtbitehtminer?

Not long ago, crypto wallets served a single purpose — storing digital assets. Today, that role is rapidly expanding. As artificial intelligence enters the blockchain space, wallets are becoming strategic tools rather than passive storage solutions.

The shift toward intelligent wallets

Modern users expect more than just security. They want clarity, insights, and tools that help them navigate the market without spending hours analyzing charts and data.

AI-powered wallets aim to meet this demand by transforming raw blockchain data into meaningful information. This shift helps users make more informed decisions while maintaining full control over their assets.

A new user experience

Platforms like *SPAM* represent this emerging category by combining wallet infrastructure with intelligent features designed to support daily crypto management. Instead of overwhelming users, these tools focus on usability and clarity.

Looking ahead

As adoption grows, intelligent crypto wallets are likely to become standard rather than optional. The future of digital asset management lies not only in decentralization but also in making that decentralization easier to understand and use.

I wonder if a physical Bitcoins could be considered "art". You don't pay tax on unrealized gains on art, as long as you have it because you like the art (and not for the investment). If that works on a €100M painting, shouldn't it work on a physical Bitcoin?
It depends on what shape Bitcoin will be trying to imitate physically, because if it is trying to imitate the form of a drawing, painting or craft, then it's qualified to be regarded as an art. But in a nutshell, if it tries to imitate the shape and form of a random object like book, pen or possibly hard drive, then such can't be regarded as an art. Because the truth of the fact is that what makes a piece of art more is simply because of the environment the art finds itself, and what the people thinks the art represents. Because an art that worth €100M in Europe Auction sales might get to Africa, and people who doesn't know what it stands for or represent might price it at less than $1000, simply because they don't know it's original worth. And when it comes to the case of Bitcoin, it's worth it different, simply because it's current price value is tagged to it, and no matter where you go in the entire world, it can still be sold at it's exact price value. Hence, if I'm to choose between an artwork worth €100M and Bitcoin worth €1M, I will definitely go for the €1M in Bitcoin, reason been that it can easily be traded anywhere around the world at the same value. Unlike the €100M art that it will be very hard to see someone willing to buy it at it's exact same value anywhere around the world.

Evo nam jedne zanimljive (ali ne na dobar način) novosti iz Nizozemske. S novom reformom koja bi trebala biti 2028. godine planiraju uvesti oporezivanje nerealizirane dobiti na ulaganja u dionice, obveznice, kriptovalute i ostalo. To znači da će se plaćati porez na razliku u vrijednosti ulaganja od početka do kraja godine, bez obzira što ništa nije prodano. Osobno meni ovo ne znači ništa jer nemam veze s Nizozemskom, ali kako se radi o članic Europske Unije, mogli bi se i ostali ugledati na njih pa krenuti s uvođenjem slične prakse. Nadam se ipak da neće.

Mislim da je LoyceV iz Nizozemske. On bi sigurno imao više informacija o ovoj tematici. Koliko se sjećam, on je prestao učestvovati u signature kampanjama online kasina/kladionica jer su nizozemci već uveli neki čudan zakon koji to reguliše. Ima neke veze sa starosti korisnika online kasina, gdje kasino mora da vodi i prikazuje tu statistiku ili tako nešto. Objašnjenje mi nema smisla ali boljeg se ne mogu sjetiti. @LoyceV možeš li pojasniti?

If it's sealed and you don't know its private key, you only have a physical asset that gives you access to a digital asset, but you don't yet possess the digital asset itself.

If you have a winning scratch-off ticket but never scratch it, you never receive the prize even though technically it's yours.  Cool

No it doesn't.

“Provably fair” only proves the result matches the seed they chose, not that the seed wasn’t selected to make you lose.
That's a weak argument. If that would be true, you could win by picking the opposite outcome.

To clarify: I never intended to create a flag or cause any financial harm to this member. I’m fully aware that negative trust can affect someone’s ability to borrow or trade on the forum, and that wasn’t my goal at all.

I’m relatively new to how flags, the reputation system, and support mechanics work here. I mostly post in the Scam Accusations section when I come across casinos that ignore responsible gambling practices. My focus has always been on helping victims stand up to crypto casinos that operate with little to no accountability or regulatory oversight. This forum is one of the few places where they can actually be challenged, since most of them originated here and still care about their reputation on Bitcointalk.

[/quote]

Look, about that "pick the opposite" thing – it only really works if the casino is stuck using a strict nonce that goes 0,1,2,3... no skips, and they can't simulate stuff ahead of time. But in a lot of these shady setups, they have full control over when to rotate seeds or how the nonce moves, so they can run simulations, toss out the ones where players win big, and just publish the losing sequence. You betting opposite wouldn't do because you're already seeing the rigged result – the verifier just checks it matches, not if it was fairly picked.

Honestly, I think with bigger bets, yeah, some places probably have extra "checks" in the backend to tilt things their way without making it obvious across all games. That's how they protect the house on high stakes.

To actually get some trust going, these casinos should just open up and share real aggregated stats – like overall RTP numbers from massive sample sizes, or even full public histories for their in-house games so anyone can crunch the numbers. Most of 'em don't even give you proper verifiable history beyond your own recent bets, which makes it impossible for us to properly audit if it's fair over the long run.

If they did that kinda transparency, it'd separate the legit ones from those hiding behind "provably fair" as some kinda of marketing shield. Right now it's too easy for doubts to stick around. I'm no iGaming dev, I don't know anyone on the inside, and I've got no axe to grind beyond this: my opinion comes purely from playing thousands upon thousands of hands on original blackjack games (and other in-house titles) across a bunch of different crypto casinos over the years. The patterns I've seen with my own eyes are what make me skeptical, nothing more complicated than that.

Coinomi isn't crap. There is a bug in transaction history monero wallet, but the wallet is working to send and receive and set fees. Better than 90% of monero wallets.

Coinomi is working since 2014. It supports basically all coins in existence,  they offer some exchanges integration, good UI and many advamced feafures for each blockchain.

It's funny, because he forgot to create the Flag he wants us to Support Tongue
I want to clarify something, because this keeps getting framed as retaliation or an attempt to harm someone’s livelihood — that is not the intent.

The goal here is to bring attention to a recurring issue that keeps getting dismissed in this forum: the blind trust placed in “provably fair” claims, especially when it comes to in-house / original casino games.

I did not create a flag deliberately. A flag directly impacts revenue and turns the discussion into defense mode instead of analysis. The intention here is to highlight behavior and technical risk so it does not continue unchecked, particularly when people expose scams or questionable practices.

The problem is that this community often treats crypto casinos as if they are inherently trustworthy, while many members have never:
- tested edge cases,
- audited implementations,
- or experienced how easily original games can be manipulated behind a “provably fair” label.

To add technical context, I’m quoting a post from a developer with long-term iGaming experience. This is not emotional speculation — it’s how poorly implemented systems are actually abused.

Quote from: NearYou on November 08, 2025, 11:00:05 PM
Before anyone asks — I’m not the OP.
I only made an account there after seeing this thread.

I’ve been in iGaming dev for 12 years.
I know how these systems are supposed to work and I know exactly how they get rigged.

So here’s the quick version, no fluff:

1. Is Winna a scam?
Yes. Not “maybe,” not “feels like.” Yes.

2. Do they manipulate their in-house games?
Yes. The outcomes are not purely driven by the provably fair chain.

3. Should you trust “provably fair” by default?
No.
“Provably fair” only proves the result matches the seed they chose, not that the seed wasn’t selected to make you lose.

Provably fair does NOT guarantee randomness.
It only guarantees that the final output matches the inputs.
If the inputs are manipulated, the fairness verification means nothing.

These guys are using old, cheap operator tricks:
- Skipping nonces when the seed leads to a high payout run
- Dynamic loss triggers when payout exceeds a threshold
- Static loss blocks to quietly raise effective house edge
- Legacy code still present in the backend

This isn’t high-effort fraud.
This is bargain-bin operator behavior.

Provably fair works like this:
server_seed (committed hash)
+ client_seed
+ nonce
→ RNG output → game result

If every input is honest and the nonce increments strictly (0,1,2,3…),
that’s how reputable platforms handle it.

The exploit happens when the house controls:
- server seed selection
- seed rotation timing
- whether the client seed is actually used
- nonce progression

They simulate outcomes privately and publish only the one that benefits the house.
Verification still passes because it only checks consistency, not intent.

Nonce skipping example:
Simulate nonce 12 → win → discard
Simulate nonce 13 → win → discard
Simulate nonce 14 → loss → publish

To the player:
Nonce 14, loss, verifier passes.

To reality:
Two winning outcomes were skipped.

This is the core issue.

Provably fair is not a guarantee of fairness.
It is a deterministic verification system that depends entirely on honest implementation.

The question isn’t whether casinos can do this — they can.
The question is whether the forum should keep dismissing these concerns just because verification passes.

This is about awareness and accountability, not revenge.

This is not a good model here. Are there signs that this taxation framework will change any soon in your country?

Quote from: LoyceV on January 20, 2026, 11:46:47 AM
Even if it changes, I wouldn't expect taxes to get less.

Actually the model does change, but the taxes increase Tongue It's almost as the system is trying to make it look easier and better for someone who earns really a small amount of money, to try to hide it. I mean, financially, if someone earns such small amounts from here and there, it's almost as the system tells them to hide it or stop it, instead of finding a solution for these people.



Quote from: joker_josue on January 20, 2026, 07:53:07 PM
If you don't have it... you can't use it. If you have it, and you don't use it... it's the same for now.

So why not just hold it and decide when to use it when you feel it's most appropriate, with the least possible complications?

If I get paid, in any form of money, I need to declare it and pay taxes upon it, regardless of whether I sold or used the money. Think of it this way, we're in EU, so we have Euros. If I was paid in Euros, keeping it in my bank account and not using it for 10 years, would that be tax free? Of course not! It doesn't matter that it's bitcoin. The investment tax will come when I sell and get a profit, but the income tax comes instantly when you get paid.



Quote from: AVE5 on January 20, 2026, 12:00:43 PM
Moreover the forum is fun and comfortable to be like the real world, so I myself can still keep up my best for it without getting paid.

Yeah, this is my conclusion as well. I'm using it for fun and as I said above, I'm using it as much as I want, not as much as I can.

Penulis: Upgrade00
Topik Original: [GUIDE] Overview of the trust flags




(Upgrade00) mutusin buat ngelakuin riset singkat soal sistem trust baru, biar user bisa paham semuanya dalam satu thread.

Semua akun yang disebut di sini hanya contoh, dan TS tidak mendukung ataupun menentang tuduhan apa pun.

Apa itu Trust Flag?

Trust flag diperkenalkan buat ngembangin sistem trust yang lama.
Thread resminya: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5153344.0
Fungsinya buat peringatan ke member bahwa seseorang diduga scammer atau melanggar kontrak.
Sistem trust lama cuma nunjukin histori kepercayaan user secara umum (positif, netral, negatif). Sedangkan trust flag cuma buat feedback negatif. Trust biasa bisa dihapus tapi Trust flag TIDAK bisa dihapus kalau sudah aktif

Supaya aktif, sebuah flag butuh minimal 3 support lebih banyak daripada oposisi. Yang dihitung cuma support dari trust group kamu. Untuk warga biasa kek kita, sistem pakai Default Trust (DT).

Tipe dari flags
- Newbie warning flags: Flag ini diberikan berdasarkan bukti dari pihak lain, bukan kejadian yang langsung melibatkan kamu.

Biasanya muncul sebagai peringatan buat newbie, guest, dan member dengan waktu login < 7 hari. User lain cuma lihat tanda # di skor trust.
Kita ambil contoh kasus si , The-One-Above-All. Akun ini dapet newbie warning flag yang muncul di atas topik & profilnya.



-: Contract-violation flags: Flag ini dipakai kalau kejadian langsung melibatkan kamu. Contohnya, user NLNico mengaktifkan sebuah flag kepada user SafeDice dan dapet support lebih banyak dari oposisi (>3). The flag akhirnya terdisplay di user' (Terduga penipu) ringkasan kepercayaan dan juga topik-topiknya di atas (yang terlihat oleh semua anggota).


Kalian juga dapat mengaksesnya melalui umpan balik/feedback yang telah dikirim. NLNico

User yang belum login (logged-out) juga bakal dapet peringatan.
Quote from: theymos on April 26, 2019, 10:21:11 PM
User yang belum login akan melihat peringatan di bagian forum tertentu jika DT lebih banyak kasih neg-trust daripada pos-trust ke pembuat topik.

• Flag aktif → warna kuning.
• Contract violation flag + red trust → warna merah → otomatis munculin "Warning: Trade with extreme caution" berdasarkan skor kepercayaan pengguna
• Newbie warning flag juga bisa tampil kuning atau merah
• Satu user bisa kena dua jenis flag sekaligus
• Kalian tidak dapat membuat laporan menggunakan thread yang dimoderasi sendiri sebagai linkutama. Sebaiknya juga jangan menggunakan unggahan dari terduga penipu, melainkan arsipkan bukti-bukti tersebut, buat unggahan baru, dan tautkan semua bukti di sana.

Siapa yang Bisa Bikin Flag?

Siapa pun bisa bikin Newbie Warning Flag → Asal support > oposisi

User yang jadi korban scam bisa bikin Contract Violation Flag → Hanya terlihat di trust network kamu → Butuh minimal 3 support lebih banyak dari oposisi
Flag bisa dibuat lewat link di profil user.
Tapi inget, pastikan bukti kuat sebelum bikin atau support flag;
Quote from: theymos on June 12, 2019, 03:13:36 AM
Membuat atau mendukung scammer flag berarti menyetujui pernyataan fakta yang cukup jelas. Kalau seseorang sengaja mendukung flag dengan fakta yang salah, itu dianggap penyalahgunaan serius dan bisa bikin dia dikeluarin dari DT. Bahkan kalau sering salah meski tidak sengaja, tetap bisa kena konsekuensi.

Berapa Lama Flag Aktif?
Quote from: theymos on June 12, 2019, 03:13:36 AM
Dalam pengampunan/penebusan, tanda peringatan akan kedaluwarsa 3 tahun setelah kejadian jika kontrak bersifat informal/tersirat, dan 10 tahun setelah kejadian jika kontrak tertulis. Jangka waktu kedaluwarsa ini dapat diubah secara administratif dalam kasus-kasus tertentu.

Batasan Membuat Flag:
Quote from: theymos on June 12, 2019, 03:49:12 AM
Batasan ini telah diberlakukan:
- Setiap 180 hari, kalian hanya dapat memberikan 1 flag dari setiap jenis kepada pengguna tertentu. Jadi, kalian tidak dapat memberikan beberapa flag pelanggaran kontrak tertulis kepada seseorang dalam 180 hari, misalnya.
- Secara global, per tahun hanya dapat membuat 1 bendera per poin aktivitas yang Anda miliki, tetapi minimal 1 per tahun.

Apakah Flag Menghapus Negative Trust Lama?

Jawabannya: tidak.
Negative trust sebelum sistem flag tidak otomatis dikonversi jadi flag. Namun
Quote from: theymos on June 13, 2019, 03:25:14 AM
- Kalau jumlah negative trust lama lebih banyak daripada positive trust, maka peringatan tetap muncul untuk guest & newbie dengan login rendah.

Sampaikan saran, tambahan, dan koreksi bila ada.

I kept thinking about those words...

Quote from: apogio on January 17, 2026, 05:23:53 PM
Sorry I can't comment a lot on this. I wanna be as lawful as it gets, even though I hate taxes and totally dislike the unfair politics behind it. I can only tell you that since I've got a family, I can't think for my own anymore, I need to think for my kids as well. So, even if you think that I can simply receive payments in an address and live off of it, and even if it's true, I can't do it.

Profits from trading is a completely other story. It's not considered income, but rather investment gain and it has a 15% flat tax for complex assets (like crypto is considered).



It's not about being unable to hide income from taxes, it's about being able to use your money legally.

This is a much better (and simpler) answer than my answer above  Tongue

If you don't have it... you can't use it. If you have it, and you don't use it... it's the same for now.

So why not just hold it and decide when to use it when you feel it's most appropriate, with the least possible complications?

It's similar to people who say they don't invest because they have to pay taxes. But if they don't invest, they're losing money. If they invest and make a profit, they'll earn more than you had, even after paying taxes.


Now, of course, everyone knows the reality of their own country and their own life. Therefore, they should act wisely based on that knowledge, doing what is best for themselves and their loved ones.


It was merely a reflection, with no intention of questioning or criticizing motives or decisions. Like any investment, one should only risk what one is willing to lose.

No! The script works and will definitely conflict with other userscripts. Why can't you see it running? Because Bitlist blocks IPs if it thinks they are bots, so install the script, then go to a user's profile page (if you go to your own, you have to click on summary) and then open Bitlist, which will whitelist your IP.
You are right, it is working now.
My BRDb score is 7.1 and my reliability is 100%.
It would be better to show BRDb scores for all profiles bellow activity and number of merits.
BPIP extension is already doing this for adding additional information.

I need to find a different way to find the user ID on the profile page.
Maybe users can add their ID number manually when they install userscript.

What do you think?
I tried my best! Obviously, I had to slow down the tool to avoid getting banned.

But I'll answer with a question: what do people do spending hours on social media (Facebook or Instagram)? I can't understand it, because I'm not there and I don't want to be, so the feeling might be similar.
Simple answer: they're addicted. Social media algorithms are designed to be addictive. Receiving "likes" may look innocent, but it literally influences chemicals in your brain. Imagine 60 people in real life complimenting you on a picture of your food! That's never going to happen, but on social media, it's normal. When some social media platform introduced a few new icons a few years ago, it reached the national news here. It's as unimportant as one guy adding a few lines of codes in 10 minutes, but when it's social media, it creates billions of dollars in value.

Quote from: LoyceV on December 10, 2024, 08:45:34 AM
The one thing that doesn't make sense to me, is announcing this. The Serbian statement of making it happen behind closed doors makes more sense.
If you're going to buy a significant chunk of any market, prices will increase. The same thing happens when a company announces it's interest to buy another company, and it's now happening with Bitcoin. If the US government wants to buy 800 kBTC (for those numbers we should start using "kilo Bitcoin"), they're paying more already just because they announced it.

I'm not buying the "taxpayer-neutral" part. One way or another, if government spends money, that comes from taxpayers. They may make it look different on paper, but there's also an ever increasing debt that could have been reduced with the same money.

The "new" idea concerns repricing the Federal Reserve Certificates at mark-to-market valuations: the certificates were issued at a statutory gold price of $42.22/oz in 1973 and could now be valued at over $2,600/oz.
Gold didn't go up 6058% in value, the dollar dropped 98.38%. If they're moving towards a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, then the value (measured in dollars) will go up forever due to eternal inflation.
That makes me think the BSR is just a way to join the Bitcoin train, while protecting the dollar printing instead of bringing back sound money.

Anything you need to know about bitcoins strategic most reserve, The US government  sign to establish  a strategic bitcoin reserve like that others companies are doing, but considering that this is there first act of making a purpose but the value of bitcoins it self, this regulation is part of government to be able to monitor under president Donald thump signed and executive order  in the march of 2025 to establish  a strategic reserve, government just need to be protected it because there’s no protection for users.

Crypto capital of the world, this reserve will consist Of bitcoins forfeited by federal agencies
There’s a bipartisan Collings of the text of billing which will need more discussion before approval. And again there’s are some people that are still doubting about bitcoins strategic but most of them there are illiterate.

I also don't understand why you're not in a campaign for lawful reasons, who cares about taxation in Greece? It's not like they're being put for good use, so why should I declare it as income?

I can't disagree that our taxes are a total waste in Greece, but doing things legally is a must for me  Smiley



Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 12:15:51 PM
Is that per year? Would it work if you come to an arrangement with a campaign manager, to get paid at once after 6 months?

No, it's per transaction nature. Meaning if I sell 4 paintings in my lifetime, it's considered a business. If I get paid 4 times for advertising, it's considered a business etc.

I can't say how much I agree on the comment about "social media".

Very interesting post, which I read calmly while I'm preparing to choose and decide what to eat for lunch (for work, I'm at work)
I see myself a lot in your words, especially about the fact that if I wasn't paid I would still write?
The answer is yes because I write a lot, not only on the forum which is one of the media I have always used and loved (I have been using and managing some forums since 1997)
but I also write a lot on Telegram
I also write a lot on matrix and on irc

I'm a chatterbox with a speed of 300 characters per minute, so you can understand how fast I am at writing and translating what I think into words.
true, maybe I'm too verbose, but talking and discussing helps me understand so I can't give up on this thing
like programming, I've been programming since I was 9 years old, for me it's like breathing, I couldn't live without it

Haha, it's funny because I'm the exact opposite. I type faster than I write, but I type too slowly. Imagine how slowly I write.  Tongue

The difference between 2025's noobs and those of 2015's are that these days it's damn hard to figure out who's using AI to "buff" their English or otherwise write posts for them.  That's been a maddening development to a phenomenon I didn't think could get any worse.  When I see a newcomer making what appears to be a thoughtful, eloquently-written post....all the red flags go off in my head, when that should be the exact opposite of what happens.  Sad.

Sure, but I still think you can spot them and ignore them easily Wink I must have ignored users who aren't AI though lol

Can you send me an address to send you back LoyceV? So I can test it.
Done.

I tried by myself, but Coinomi says it's an "internal transfer". It also made me realize $0.02 isn't what it used to be since Monero went up in price: it's barely enough for the transaction fee. So I've sent both Coinomi wallets $0.05 for further testing.

I deleted my Coinomi wallet and restored the seed: the $0.05 in XMR that's currently confirming shows up, but yesterday's $0.02 is gone. Update: it showed up again!
The wallet still needs some work Tongue

Thanks. I was able to send you 0.01 usd .I think it worked.

Monero is now more expensive than bitcoin. That's unexpected.

Here's my best guess:
I noticed that your "Unlocked Balance" (I used Google translate on "saldo desbloqueado") is still zero.
So, that could be their implementation of the standard 10-block confirmation that's required by most XMR wallets to spend recently received UTXO.

If it's processed after a while without you doing anything, my guess must be true.
Otherwise, it's something else.

I think you are right. Similar to unconfirmed transaction

Bump: 0.15 sat/vbyte is on the table again Smiley I'll test to see how long my 0.153 sat/vbyte transaction takes to confirm.

Update: it confirmed in less than 2 hours. I paid only 27 sats for a transaction with 2 inputs and 1 output.
Even transactions paying 0.14 sat/vByte have been confirmed in several blocks mined in the last 24 hours and perhaps even before that. According to the data on mempool.space, transactions paying 0.14 sat/vByte are only two or three blocks away right now. It's been a long time since I have seen such a great opportunity to consolidate inputs as in the last couple of days. Too bad that I already did mine in the past.

This wont apply to me shortly since ill only be sticking around to see any replies to this, but i just want to point out the obvious, and that is that this is a very broken system
A quick check of your post history shows that you're mainly posting in gambling (spam) megathreads, and the wall of text you posted here shows you don't know how to shorten quotes. The Merit system works just fine Smiley

Somewhat new user here...

Several of my posts have received merit, and I do think the system works mostly fine, however I do think more users could be generous with their sendable merit.  Just me 2 cents.



58. Post 66310008 (unedited backup) (by PrivacyG) (scraped on Mon Jan 19 02:26:55 CET 2026) in After I stopped getting paid, here is some food for thought...:

Here is some food for thought derived straight from the subject raised by apogio.

The way Bitcoin Talk users change their habit based on incentive or the lack thereof is in my opinion pretty strong proof why Nodes or any other parts of Bitcoin other than  should never be incentivized.  It does not matter if the change in behavior comes from a fear of being kicked out of a Campaign, the motivation to get your self into a Campaign, the respect for a Campaign Manager or any other motive.  What is important is that a change happens.

And this is definitely not limited only to this Forum.  You can see similar things in real life where people would share way more information than they should only for a couple pennies or Dollars at most.  Has any of you seen the 'World Coin' booths where people voluntarily scan their retinas for a bag of Shit Coins?  It is nothing but crazy.  If I set up the same booth but did free scans, people would simply walk by.  When there is temptation however, things change.  Mentality and behavior changes.

Therefore, this monetization of Posts is an actually interesting experiment.  In fact.  When you look at Bitcoin Talk from a distance, being an older Member you can see that it has interestingly become a community generally split in two kinds of Members.  The ones who post useless Replies only for the sake of the Campaign count and the rest who almost instinctively ignore all of them while giving their own, much more useful answers.

I find it really interesting how I can scroll a page for a matter of seconds and already know which Replies are worth reading with out wasting my time on B S.  And to see what I meant by the split community, when the Altcoin version of the Forum launched and people started cloning their Bitcoin Talk accounts over there you could see that there is almost NO BOARD to Reply to and it is not worth it to bother reading the Replies because most of the Members made their own account on there only for the monetized part of it.  I could set up a version of Bitcoin Talk where only AI accounts are active and I could probably get a more lively and interesting Forum than that Shitcoin Talk.

Now the curiosity that remains in my mind is how Bitcoin Talk would look if all the people who are here only for the monetized part of it would suddenly be gone.  And I doubt the activity will disappear but it would be much more quiet over here.  Although I would argue that I at least almost always avoid Topics that grow larger than 5 to 7 pages because most of them are bloated up by garbage.  But a lot of the actually interesting and important Topics are almost always quiet, a handful of Members share their view and their comments and then it gets buried and never seen again.

On the other hand.  I love that Bitcoin Talk is incentivized and particularly that great people like fillippone, LoyceV, o_e_l_e_o who I can never not bring up and greatly miss and many others are being paid a decent portion of Bitcoin for their work.  Although none of us mere mortals really know what must be done to join the cult of the Fox.  I am sure that many of them would have been probably way less active here if the ChipM Campaign was not around paying that well and for that I can only be proud to have them around.

After all, Signature Campaigns create a lot of garbage but also incentivize the people who actually deserve it.  And with out them, we would have had less quality work and knowledge shared here.

Hero of Good: LoyceV, Vod

I could probably have nominated numerous members for each section, so please don't take offense if I didn't name you.  The above two have been involved in the forum for years, and I always read what each has to say with utmost seriousness.  Furthermore, I've trusted both of them for as long as I can remember.

Code:
Forum Ninja: vapourminer

Some of y'all bitches may not agree with my choice here, but I very much appreciate members who speak their mind, are more often than not on the money with their opinions, and will not bow to the masses if challenged.  I haven't had extensive interaction with vapourminer personally, but from what I've seen him post, he fits the category.

Code:
Bitcoin Geek: dkbit98

He's been extremely helpful in the HW wallet section, and I appreciate a lot of the things he's written over the years when I was just a toe-headed toe head whose knowledge of HW wallets, when tallied by a high-end computer, would spit out a negative number.  That's a compliment dkbit98 deserves.

Code:

The above is undeniable, and I might also add here that I've not looked at anyone else's votes prior to me casting my own here.  No doubt there's a lot I'm missing.

Code:
Best Project: ibminer and his bitcointalk-themed playing cards

I'm a collector at heart, but this forum has always remained closer to said heart than bitcoin actually has, and any time someone produces a collectible based on bitcointalk I think it's a worthy project--if done right, and ibminer did it very well with his set.

Code:
Help Buster: PowerGlove

Strict moral code is what stands out as the criterion for this one, although there are other members (like Vod and a number of other OGs) who fit under it.  I've found PG to be a straight shooter, no-BS type of person who's also quite helpful.

Code:
Craft Master: minerjones

Has a passion for collectibles and has helped me out at least twice (or offered to) at his own expense; I appreciate the generosity combined with expertise he's shown.

Code:
Miss Bitcointalk: Foxpup

Without divulging what has transpired during Cycling Club gatherings, our vilest of vulpine vixens couldn't have any competitor that would even come close without votes having been rigged.  May Vod strike me dead with a soda bottle up my ass if that isn't true.

Hmm... so apparently it's working (partially) regarding new transactions, but Coinomi ignores old transactions entirely or is it taking some time for them to appear?

Some XMR wallets require the user to specify the block height to scan transactions, Coinomi doesn't have that, right?

Coinomi xmr wallet is just like a bitcoin  wallet.

You have your address, block height, receive,  send..

It is a very goos UI imo. Unfortunately,  transactions history is bugged

There a button "process transactions " but it isn't working in my end.

I am not sure if I can spend. Can you send me an address to send you back LoyceV? So I can test it.

Quote from: LoyceV on January 14, 2026, 09:08:24 AM
No, finding the number of users is not possible, only the number of total bitcoin addresses with value is possible.
55,335,135 funded Bitcoin addresses on January 14, 2026
  21,555,149 of those start with 1
  6,388,369 of those start with 3
  22,594,205 of those start with bc1q
  4,741,216 of those start with bc1p

If total number of funded bitcoin address is around 55 million then how is it even possible for one country alone to have 80 million. Now it looks the data shared in that image is inaccurate even if we add those fake bitcoins in the name of ETF and tokens.

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 07:51:59 PM
Imagine that you run a client that constantly receives difficulty=1 blocks and validates them, and a couple of hours after, your chain is reorged due to the 51% hashrate ignoring your blocks. It'd be a lot less painful to just modify Core.
That's quite literally happening all the time on testnet4. See fork.observer for a (great!) visualization.
The chain is not reverted into a lower block height, though. But, yes, it is true that even now, you get an empty-blocks chain which is occasionally replaced by a non-empty-blocks chain (which is mined by the tb1q2dsc94zq40nwnz27w5rxljwllutnwjtlxk44fz miner), or the other way around. Whether it is the current broken network or a semi-broken network with 51% of the hashrate ignoring the consensus rules of the other clients, I think it remains a problem that should be fixed in a test network.

Sorry I can't comment a lot on this. I wanna be as lawful as it gets, even though I hate taxes and totally dislike the unfair politics behind it. I can only tell you that since I've got a family, I can't think for my own anymore, I need to think for my kids as well. So, even if you think that I can simply receive payments in an address and live off of it, and even if it's true, I can't do it.


I respect your decision to live 100% according to the law of your country, but I already wrote to you in another thread that I don't see why you shouldn't be part of some sig campaign, collect funds and maybe one day find a way to spend them without revealing your identity to anyone.

Let's say you are going on a trip abroad and you are aware that there are physical stores where you can pay with BTC or that there are even physical exchanges where you can sell your coins without KYC.

Quote from: apogio on January 17, 2026, 05:23:53 PM
Haha, I liked the "gambling" reference and it's sad but it's true. By the way, did you know that in some jurisdictions it's illegal to promote gambling (or betting) websites?

I know that some countries prohibit advertising online casinos, which is why @LoyceV doesn't promote anything in its signature. I honestly don't know if that would be the case for me, but even if it were so, I honestly wouldn't care because I live in a highly corrupt country that gives very little and takes a lot, and as far as taxes are concerned, I pay 25% VAT on most products and I think that's quite enough.

It doesn't occur to me to pay any other taxes on cryptocurrencies, either those I hold or those I've already sold. Of course I don't use CEXs or banks.

So far, I get it. But why would you be required to create a legal entity? Here, there's a thing called "other income", which gives a field that looks like this:
Code:
description   amount
If they ever ask, you'd better have a fitting story, but other than that, that's it! You'll just pay income tax.

The other income in Greece works only if you receive up to 3 payments for the same "service" or "product". It's supposed to be the place where you declare your profits from selling one of your paintings (for example). But, if you decided to sell more than 3 paintings, you'd have to be a business. It's written officially that every transaction that occurs more than 3 times, is supposed to be business-related and doesn't fit in the other income section.

If I was moderator for some board, let's say Hardware Wallets or our Local Board, I would do it even for free, but I would not refuse some form of payment.

I wasn't aware, up until lately, that moderators actually get paid. I thought they were all doing it for free and that's why their commitment was kinda low. But, I agree that I'd moderate for free. (In fact, I couldn't moderate for money unless it was a very big amount Tongue)

Great! I like this mentality, I've not refused to advertise anything, but in fact, I never had too many options to select from.



Quote from: Free Market Capitalist on Today at 05:23:42 AM
It is also illegal to urinate in the street, but you won't be sent to jail for it. See that killing somebody is illegal and urinating in the street is also illegal but the penalties you face for one thing and another are fundamentally different. What happens in most European countries is that if you don't declare it and you get caught, you get a fine, so more similar to catching you urinating in the street, being the only difference that the fine would be higher. Add to that the fact that the authorities usually have about five years to catch you, after which time the statute of limitations expires.

Sure, but why should I not care about a fine? I mean, why should I wanna do anything that's illegal.
I can almost guarrantee that I won't get "caught", but again, I want to be lawful, because in general I wanna have the minimum possible amount of interactions with the authorities. If I could simply not exist for them, I'd buy it easily, even if my intention is not to do anything illegal.

Yes, of course, I rose in rank by earning merits, but my rank when I first participated in the company signature was already Sr. Member. Besides, I didn't immediately recognize what a signature company was, as strange as that may be.

It's funny because when I became a Member, a campaign manager asked me "do you rent your avatar?" and I thought they wanted to get a license to wear my avatar at the time, so I responded "it's free of charge, I just found it online" Tongue

Quote from: lovesmayfamilis on Today at 09:34:49 AM
I had a two-month absence from the forum due to personal reasons; my husband was injured, and I had to be there at all times.

Long story short, I start every morning by reading the forum. I don't have social media, no Instagram, and all the other things people like to brag about online. There's the forum, which I love; I love sending reports; I love catching cheaters, and I doubt I'll stop loving it even if I don't get paid for it.

A good point is that we still haven't acquired clip-based thinking, as young people have it so strongly now. On the forum, people still know how to read long texts, especially when they're written by people, not AI, which is becoming more common elsewhere

Two months absence, or any absence is fruitful, in my opinion. I've taken some time off during Christmas vacation period. I was logging in, I was checking daily but I wasn't writting not because I wanted to not write but because I wanted to evaluate my online presence. And, here I am again! I have decided to participate as much as I want, not as much as I can. I hope the difference makes sense.

And absolutely, "older" people know how to read and, nowadays, they also value it more than just a 5-seconds all-inclusive video. I also don't have social media, none of them. But it's not because I hate them, I actually can't live with the fast pace that they promote. I want to be calm and rational, otherwise I'm lost and I don't thing straight.
