Yeah but many DT still red trust the account with small mistake by applying other btc address

There are 99 people at that address who are ready to beat anyone mercilessly if one of them (cheater) insists on using that address for any campaign 

List of topics and members I ignore is growing every day, and that makes it easier to navigate the forum.

Bitcoin board has silently and gradually morphed into News board.
I can still find some useful information there and I do post there sometimes, but not like I did few years ago.

​@LoyceV
​>The solution is simple.
>After writing down the seed phrase (+passphrase, if there's any), regenerate the wallet from your backup and see if it gives you the same addresses.

​This is exactly the "lightbulb moment" I needed. Thank you.
I was so focused on the fear of typing it wrong later, that I forgot I can (and should) strictly verify it now before sending a single satoshi. If I wipe the device, restore from paper, and get the same addresses — the "typo risk" is effectively zero.

​@Forsyth Jones
​>You can use a password manager like KeepassXC to generate them for you (on an offline PC/laptop).

​Great idea. Since I am already using KeePassXC on my offline machine for other credentials, generating a high-entropy passphrase there avoids the "human brain is bad at randomness" problem.
​Thanks for the masterclass, everyone. I feel much more confident using the 25th word now.

At first I was surprised to see this photo, because one person wearing black used to be my customer he used to sell his Crypto in large quantities to me, because in 2017 I was an Official Partner of one of the Local Exchanges.
I also had time to ask about the photo, he said yes it was a long time ago I had retired from the forum, he said, I have given some accounts to friends as he added.

So my observation was that initially there was one person who had multiple accounts and then hired some people like in the photo, after the worker understood how to cheat, they workers started creating livestock accounts as well.
In some of the cases that I have already revealed the pattern is the same there are still people who practice such practices, evident in the confession of someone who claims that what I have revealed is mostly theirs, here. <= I am also sure that ABCbits and YOSHIE can verify and understand the chat text in the screenshot.

---

Yes, it should not be justified, these cheaters will always make excuses when, for example: account A is caught, then account A argues that it belongs to account B, When account B is also caught, they also argue that it belongs to account C. even though they are all account farming. As in the case I mentioned above.

The key difference between the existing Web3 and my proposed solution is that my version can, in theory, operate without the internet at all, even internationally, unlike other projects that operate exclusively over the internet. The problem is that it's unlikely that international cables for KeyNet will be built in the initial stages of the project's development, and it's likely they won't allow it. Therefore, there will certainly be a dependence on existing networks like the internet, but the goal of the project is to reduce this dependence.
Blockchain is necessary in this case to confirm ownership of domains/addresses, as well as to enable DNS functionality, where each backbone will have up-to-date and, most importantly, reliable information, which will be distributed decentrally, not by a single central authority.

For the most part, me too.  Lolol.  But last year I was all over Hyperliquid and their ecosystem..  More like their community's attempt to start an ecosystem.  I gotta be honest, I really thought it was gonna he easy for them and would happen like what happened to Solana.

In the end, not a lot of people went over and all the protocols that had their TGE mostly flopped which caused other tokenless protocols to postpone their own TGE.

I did'nt knew I was a shitposter in your sight and I was on your ignore list as well 💔 but it's ok now I know, and I will try to be a better poster for you but if I am not receiving any merit, how is that my mistake! Because I try to be useful, add value,and  try to be active and helpful. I was most active in early days because of free time and forum was new, getting merit feels good and still feel good but now I focus on other things as well and I still want to earn merits but I am not getting any and I am also active on the other forums too that are time taking and eat half of my time I used to give here, and other than this, most of members have groups, they only shares merits to each other but I am not blamming anyone or saying the merit system is rigged but it is a subjective thing if someone is on the buddy list or love list of someone else's sight and receiving merits from them I don't mind.

But if I am not on someone's love list and not receiving merits, or not in any group and not receiving merits, how is that my fault? I can just try my best and take my time to get benefit of the events like fillippone's Merit giveaway and if that was not nice for me to do in your sight then I will not participate in the upcoming giveaways or anything that rewards merit although I had two on my sight because it would benefit me two way one I would learn a lot, second I would get some merit (i was planning on running node for past three months) but I am lazy as hell and got less time but I enjoy every bit here.

Now about serious boards, I think btc discussion, trading discussion, help and beginners are not one of those, I was active most there, I then started to participate in ann, technical (to learn some shit) made some posts under services (to learn some shit) I was here to learn and ask question and get answers and use it for my own benefits and i kinda like it too.

Thanks for your insightful comments about me and I will do my best from now on. New year resolution now to be unignored by you 

Not quite, Alice used Bob's address, name, rank & post count.

It reminds me of this:

What do you expect lol.... This forum has been around for over a decade and considering how many posts we have per day across the forum, you should expect discussions to run out hence repetitions. Arguably, there's no way you could discuss something new every single time about bitcoin for an entire decade considering the post count on the forum.

Spamming is inevitable it's why we have moderators and everyone has a role to play too so long you have the report to moderator button. I'm doing as much as I can to report low quality posts most times I think more users should do too.

Thanks!


I will try this one first.

I was just seeing my old posts where I saw a reply to my post, by Alpen who replied me on a post of mine. I got suspicous seeing his reply and decided to run a check unfortunately for him he turned out to be a Ai shitposter.

Luckily, I'm not affected by this since I'm still using v29.0.

Good thing that the previous migration process of v29 and below isn't affected since I've used it a few times and it never failed,
Or is it?

I'm not persuading you to upgrade but it should be easy for you to learn the new importdescriptors command to import WIFs wrapped as single-key descriptors.
Once you get the hang of it, it should be simple enough to do within a minute (excluding rescan of course)

I don’t like to upgrade very often but I did upgrade to 29.0 not long back because of all the Knots nonsense going on. I just wanted to make sure I was pre 30.0 as I had a feeling there could be problems.

As for importprivkey, I have ‘t done that for a very long time but literally only became aware a few days agoacter reading on here that the process has changed to a slightly more techie way of doing it. I don’t know why that was messed with, it was fine as it was.

Butts have been kicked and I'm keeping an eye on a possible alt.

Terrible prospect, I can’t even imagine this with Bitcoin Core.

Luckily, I use Bitcoin Core solely as a node, not as the wallet. My stash is controlled by hardware wallet, namely Passport Core. But the chance that someone could be caught by this bug ^{if they haven’t been already} isn’t zero. Brrrr.

64,000 sent out wow.. this got me a little bit more surprised because I don’t know how the 64,000 came about looking at your total merit is not even upto that amount you have a total of about 20,800 merit and I was thinking smerit is Always  half of what you earned .or probably  it’s not same with the the merit source ?

I will be using zasad@ template


This are people I look up to.


The both act as robot in the forum. Brilliant in whatever they do and say.



Very good in sharing technical information's that has been useful.



My favorite event in the forum and off the forum.

Will forever be the best crypto project to exist during my era.

Ninjastic.space which is now Bitlist can now have many features and things to interact to when using the site.


Have hosted best contest in the local board. Motivated many to become good chef. So much art in cooking.



Mia Chloe is the best gift Theymos gave us in the year 2025. He has been the most active merit sources, followed by Igebotz and Brainboss.


I trust the verdict of lovemayfamilis more in the reputation board, than others there. Also, Satoprincess has been wonderful in our local board, including in the general forum.

Because a forum user decided to wear a signature or an avatar of a particular project, it will ruin the reputation of the manager managing the campaign. I don't understand how you thought about this. There is alot of freedom in the forum. The projects make their campaign and avatar public, so anyone can decide to give them free promotion. Why talking about whose reputation is bad. How about if LoyceV decides to wear the signature of a particular project for free, will it raise as much uproar?

Signature space is personal and the owner decides what they advertise their in as much as it is a legal product or services. If neutral tag is given to such a person for wearing a random signature, and also be removed when they remove the signature, it means you are given someone a full time job to check these things and leave the tag.

I think some of these features still exist but I'm sure they exist in:
https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/ddmrddmr/viz/BitcointalkMeritDashboard/PersonalSummary and https://bitlist.co/search


Seeing ads/promotions of a platform and products has a way of influencing individuals decision except in scenario where trust and reputation is broken or unknown and that's the importance of branding many of these platforms or services get through the campaigns run at BTT.


To be honest, the rate of me going to my browser to search for a brand I saw here is higher than the number of times I actually clicked a signature campaign link.

Also, we don't need to forget that when recommending others to this brand(s) we often are not sharing them a sig campaign link but rather sharing the brand name. Many just want trust rather than just trying to test something just because we saw it online. This is why those in the forum with more inluence and reputation will get more users for a brand since it is easier to trust the brand they promote.

It therefore means that if anyone posts good and quality posts, they will also receive some merits from you. It is just fine like that, but I doubt you will have the time to go through all the applications.

I ran some very low-effort statistics on the spree here:

Is DdmrDdmr even human?

I also noticed that he merited some posts he had already merited and some new ones: strangely, I thought there was a correlation between the two sets and the amount of merits, but I failed, even if I think there are good chances the "marker" for the post he "missed" was the source of the merit.

In one way or another, this thread will be beneficial to different classes of forum users!
Mission accomplished!

I try to do the same thing with real life products as well; I know it doesn't really accomplish anything but it gives me some kind of personal satisfaction. You're lucky you don't live in the US where people are bombarded by highly-polished drug commercials 24/7. As an American, there's a diligence involved with keeping your guard up against ads if you want to maintain independent thought, lol.


"but these are my best posts and thats why i put them in this thread!"

Actually, I see your point.

@apogio, I will use your template too  


RESERVED -- WORK IN PROGRESS


I follow LoyceV posta since I was a newbie in 2017/2018. I believe few users have dedicated so much time and effort in thia forum as LoyceV

Bitcoin knowledge isn't just about technical support.
This guys discuss bitcoin price, accumulation,  strategies to withdrawal, retirement and everything related to it in all ways possible.
Certainly a very important part of the bitcoin world.



At first I didnt expect this project to become so important. I use it in both forums (here and altcoinstalks). Certainly the project is use the most here.

I don't know about you, but when I find an inordinate amount of shitposts coming from a particular campaign, I make a mental note to avoid patronizing their product. I can't help but think ideal SEO would work in the same way: weeding out inorganic traffic in favor of relevant, quality content. Its a cat-and-mouse game with Google and spam in which spam is always finding new ways to stay one step ahead.

It does.

The problem is that the backups are stored in a directory that is accidentally deleted by the bug as well. Obviously this is a major bug and it took a little while to figure out the scope of the issue.

You can't, because my index used for searching strips them.

I can, however, search my database directly and give you a data dump. I found 79705 results between all posts and 57156 results when ignoring user quotes.

Which one do you prefer?

a) CSV file with the posts
b) JSON file with the posts
c) I vibe code a bitlist page for the data dump (i.e bitlist.co/data/em-dashes-06-01-2026), similar to the /search page so you can look at them more easily

It's been two weeks since the reports were posted on Github https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/34128#issue-3750246491; there could be more damage or maybe less. I think an old legacy user ought to know the importance of wallet back up than anyone.

If you know the process, the wallet migration, wallet back up will be the first thing that will comes to your mind before you even start.

Yeah I have always backed mine up, multiple times, I have to be honest. I moved all my Legacy address Bitcoin to Segwit a couple of years ago.

I think the next time we will have to move coins for something other than selling is if Quantum becomes an actual threat. I haven’t read up in too much detail but I believe there will be Quantum Proof addresses or a patch to a oid any potential losses. That’s a discussion for another day any way but I thought it was the right thing to post this here after seeing it, even if like you said, only a few people are careless enough to not have backups.

I hope these reach as many as possible before they make regretful decision, but why will someone literally do something like this , I guess some might have backed up theirs before but lost it unknowingly to them.

He is Using Ai that's For sure. But in some posts he just rephrases some of the words while in some he just directly copy/pastes.


I noticed them a few days ago and even reported them.

To be completely honest, I care about users who write their posts across all the forums, not just on a specific board. But that campaign required me to require participants to write at least 10 posts out of 25 on the gambling board. I feel like this is the most crowded board and full of generic shitposts. Even if you write a good quality post in a gambling board, it will be quickly buried under dozens of generic spam posts. I won't say that participants were writing shitposts that nobody reads, but surely not that quality you may expect.

I never considered the Bitcointalk forum as a massive source of traffic. I think the forum has some crypto OG and the crypto projects should focus on convincing them by building their reputation. It could be by sponsoring the community events, running promotionals campaigns, etc.

This is a bit extra work for the managers, but it is doable.
One of my clients provided a tracking link for each signature participant, and I had to send the customized signature code to all the campaign participants via direct message. The company were checking the stats weekly, and they were sharing the reports. I was kinda shocked that some users didn't get a single click from their signature after a few weeks and the project was asking me to replace those users. Usually, the projects share one tracking link which we include in the signature code and they track the overall signature campaign performace instead of checking participant wise.

1st post is 100% AI, but second one is giving me mixed results (combination of AI and human inputs) so I am not sure but he is using 'em dash' so 

Copyleaks: 100%
GPTzero: 100%

I did look for that badge, could not find it.  Now I know what it looks like.  I'm going to revise feedback to neutral until he provides a signed message - just because he tested for bugs in the past does not mean we ignore all suspicious behavior.  Where is Theymos to verify this account that helped the forum has not been hacked?

A considerate number of users seem to be wearing Rainbet's signature for no apparent reason, without being in the spreadsheet. Most, if not all of them, are AI spammers, or simply shitposters, creating one-line replies of zero effort and contribution. Quite a few of them have been reported on the AI Report Thread, and I believe its part of an account farm. I'm unsure if there's an ulterior motive behind it, why is it Rainbet in particular and what are they getting out of it remains unknown. I would agree with LoyceV about being part of a private deal that may not be included in the spreadsheet (public), but most users I've personally seen are the AI spammers I mentioned earlier.

I never understood why any manager would unilaterally conclude there was a correlation between the bounty/campaigns they managed and information related to it only being made available via their Telegram. If they use this forum to seek and enroll members then they must use their forum to provide information to them too.

In the case of Royse777 and #his relationship with 1win, it clearly is yet another demonstration of his lack of skills and balance.

Funny and ironic because he was constantly attacking every other user for simply being in a signature campaign. It's also extremely funny that he's accusing everyone of multiaccounting/farming, including reputable members such as LoyceV, and myself (he openly accused me in the other topic) and he's claiming it here again by briefly including that topic here

LoyceV also known as Laura made a mistake, because he's too busy being biased and ignoring actual scammers here. Hhampuz I believe made a general statement about recently awakened users and tactics of account farmers that wear the signature and avatar of campaigns that they are not enrolled in. However, you can spot a difference with those accounts by looking at their post history. They are mostly short and generic shitposts. There were plenty of these accounts recently.

I let the mistake go, because I am here for entertainment. 

Paid2 is currently inactive, but I periodically send him payments to this Bitcoin address. So, to avoid waiting for his responses, you can use it.

Well, I guess it is no longer new that some users wear signature and avatar of campaigns they were not hired for. I would have classified this as a voluntary service but this habit has its downside. The major one is that it leads false accusations on managers. Imagine a user with a negative tag wearing an avatar of a campaign, it might be assumed the manager of the signature is aware of the tag yet allows him in his signature campaign such as this one:


LoyceV managed to confirm the users name was not in the spreadsheet


Then Hhampuz had to defend himself:


From the above, it shows that alot of users who are not part of a paid signature campaign go ahead to wear the signature and avatar anyways, which can tarnish the image and reputation of a manager if they have been tagged for spamming, scamming etc. For me, I see this as an abuse of signature campaigns and I believe their are other oterior motive attached to this act. Some users do this so that a manager can see they are in a signature campaign already and therefore are capable of participating in other campaigns but this act is not so favourable for managers.

Personally I think it might be appropriate to atleast give a neutral tag to such users (the tags can be removed once the remove the signature and avatar) because such user is passing false information for others and managers to believe and so they are not to be trusted.

If possible, can you change this format to something like this?

Given that the tool I use asks for a format like this, if it is inverted then there will be an input error.
Also so that I don't format it again.

You have it in the OP, even though he hasn't updated the merit spree explanation this time. Normally, what he does is re-merit posts that he has already merited and merit posts that he has not merited but that meet a series of characteristics. I quote the explanation from previous merit sprees.

After a long hiatus, we are here, back with a nice surprise for the 17th anniversary of Bitcoin!

The official post by ddmrddmr has not been updated.

Official @ddmrddmr thread



First, the usual spreadsheet, where you see the two last sprees:



From the total merits submitted in the paired TICK-TOCK sprees, this is the largest on record since I began tracking the sprees!
The wait was well worth of this gargantuan spree @ddmrddmr!

---

Merit Spree #59 by @ddmrddrmr

There is no Official Description; the official thread was not updated by @ddmrddmr

My review:


TICK: This is the largest TICK spree so far. One metric that stands out is the low transaction-per-second rate. Digging a little bit into the distribution, we see there are two separate chunks of distribution. Maybe something didn't go as planned, and the spree got interrupted. Probably our mutual friend fixed something, and the TICK spree resumed!

Here's the TOP10:


Even if it was the highest on the track, the number of merits to enter the TOP10 was not very high: 16 merits, topped this time by Porfirii with 38 merits, again, not a super-high number.
That's all, folks, for Merits Spree 59!

---

Merit Spree #60 by @ddmrddrmr


There is no Official Description; the official thread was not updated by @ddmrddmr


My review:

TOCK This second spree was fairly big: the second spree in history. Shall we explain this with the number of merits @ddmrddmr has likely been stacking during this long, quiet period?
Will we see more from him soon?


Here's the TOP10:


Even if this was a single merits spree, the numbers are incredibly high: 22 merits to top the chart and 11 to enter the TOP10. Compared to other single-merit rounds, this is quite high.
I will start getting merit statistics for a single merits spree! So, 22 merits are the highest on record for a single merits spree! (merit spree 60!), while 3 merits are the lowest required on the record, together with spree #44, #46 and #48: wen two?

Time to call it a day!

See you at the next merit spree!

To be frank I am still thinking how he does it, and of course I also get 2 from him on 2 different post that already gained several merits. At some point I was actually thinking that the bot could also be designed in a way where to merits the most interactive threads and topic of people and whenever they are collected then, he may decide to put the amount per post and then triggers it, it would automatically starts distribution. This is just my personal thinking but I could be wrong.

he got me on 3 posts he had not merited before, each post had at least 6 merits, from 6 different people

Hi LoyceV,

I started using Arkham Intelligence recently and noticed it has an import list option. I was wondering did you ever make any more progress with this project? It would be great to get a list of addresses from you if you have one already... I thought I remember you creating such a thing at one point but can't find where it was. A .csv file of "name, address" would be ideal, I can just plop it in there. Thanks!

I don't think so, I just understood the pattern and looked randomly at posts and threads that got merit. I see DdmrDdmr doesn't distribute its merit on posts or Threads that have absolutely no merit before.

According to my analysis, the bot already has some kind of command such as, distribute merits to posts or threads that already have a certain amount of Merits before.
So in conclusion, the merit that is distributed is a kind of additional support for writers whose posts are indeed decent.

---

Yes I think so, because it is impossible to distribute 1411 merits manually. 

@LoyceV
You're right. And you've actually helped me articulate something I was already building.
My current workflow asked for encrypted files because it was simpler to explain. But I'm developing a SaaS platform with a trustless architecture:

Client extracts hash themselves (or uploads encrypted data to client-side tool)
Only the hash/encrypted key reaches my backend
Cloud GPU infrastructure does the cracking
I return ONLY the password
Client decrypts on their own machine

I never touch private keys. I never access funds. I'm a password recovery service, not a wallet access service.
My business model is reputation-based. One scam = dead forever. Thousands of successful recoveries = sustainable income. The math is obvious.
Updating my OP to reflect this. Thanks for pushing the clarity.
Time will tell. Results over words.

Satoshi-Savers

Not because I have sent nor received messages from these users but from how they are posting.

I like how Theymos banned mixers, he updated the ban few weeks ago. He is a person that thinks very well before doing anything and he always trying to handle things on this forum professionally. I even thought that theymos may not be a single person but people that do meetings before posting on this forum. He is very professional on this forum.

LoyceV can be hard on a thread very well but I think sometimes if he is theymos because his posts are truthful but it carries weight. When many people are making use of the trust system wrongfully, he post about it if there is a thread referring to it. He is good in technical aspects of this forum and he devotes his time in updating his important topics on this forum which is not something that is easy.

pooya87 is good in technical aspects of this forum, he is good in political matters and also other aspects. What I like about him is the truth he do say about the world. He is also a very good merit source, he is not a racist.



LoyceV is not in any signature campaign but he continued to post on this forum as usual. I will not say more than that, read what I posted above about him.

I have not seen JayJuanGee in any campaign before but he continue giving merits and posting no only on wall observer in on threads related to bitcoin and bitcoin wallets.

I will give DdmrDdmr because as he is not present on this forum anymore, he is still updating some of his topics and he is still sending merits to few users.


I have visited the technical boards countless number of times. Also some post about bitcoin that is not related to technical boards, these are the real bitcoin geeks but there are many other real geeks but I can only mention three.


These are the three main events that I think of, they impacted into the life of many users on this forum and they were very entertaining.

I choose promise444c5 because be created Banned Users Identifier, he posted a topic called Verify GPG Signatures for Electrum [ Mobile], he posted also about hardware wallet. You can go through his topic history to know what I am taking about.

I choose AakZaki because of how he bursted people with many alternative accounts on this forum.

I choose Satofan44 because he is new in this forum but he is posting good, his trust feedbacks are bad but I hope he will change.

If you visit AakZaki topic history, you will see how he linked many connected accounts that can increase possibilities of spamming on this forum. He is a good forum member that dedicate his time to burst the spammers. It was him that let us see accounts that are more than 10, connected to a single person or possibly account farming.

lovesmayfamilis is a very good forum member, I like how he is the most active person bursting users that are plagiarizing which makes this forum unique and less free of plagiarism. I did not select her just because of that, but I also noticed that he is active on the AI spam report reference thread that Nutildah created.

I think Ultegra134 is the most active poster on the AI spam reference thread in 2025, reporting AI spammers. This is the reason I selected him.

There are still other members like Nutildah, and ABCbits that is having a thread for those that are posting rubbish on the technical boards.  I wish I can select more.



I first selected Rikafip because of the monthly local board statistics that he is losing, it even made my findings easier and better. You are a valuable forum member.

I selected joker_josue to be the second because he really worths it. I even think if I can let him be the first that I should choose but all counts the same. He is really posting g on the local board and I think he is the highest poster if all boards posts are also compared.

On the Russian board, I would have taken klarki but I just have to pick one so I picked Julien_Olynpic but both of them really tried this year posting on the Russian biard. Jokers10, you were trying also, but did your activity reduced later strating from August. But you all tried.

Undoubtedly I will choose lovesmayfamilis, you can read what that I have posted about her on the Halp Buster above for me not to repeat myself. She deserves this.

SatoPrincess deserves to be there also because she is the second person I noticed but I started to notice her more during this December with some topics that she posted.

I do not noticed any third person, probably because I do not check most people's profile to know if they are men or women.

@LoyceV
Good question. You're right - for wallet.dat and Electrum, a hash is sufficient for cracking. I use bitcoin2john/electrum2john like everyone else.
But here's why I ask for the full file:

BIP38 - No hash extraction possible. The 6P... key IS the encrypted data. That's the format.
Verification - Hash cracking gives me a password candidate. Full wallet lets me verify it actually works and extract the keys.
Trust model - The encrypted file without password is useless to me. I can't steal funds I can't decrypt.

Your challenge is a perfect example: you gave me 12 BIP38 keys. Without the password, they're just strings.

On December 26, many transactions were confirmed with the fee rate of 0.11-0.12 sat/vbyte.
I am not sure, but this may be the lowest fee rate at which miners have included transactions in the blockchain normally so far.

For example, see block number 929,473.

@LoyceV

Fair enough. Your challenge is designed to be unsolvable
without real info - which is exactly why I work WITH clients,
not against impossible puzzles.

When you have a real case with partial memory, you know where to find me.

Time will tell. Results over words.

What fee rate has been the lowest since some nodes have been accepting less than 1 sat/vbyte transactions?

I think this is not advisable because the mempool has not become so less congested down to 0.1 sat/vbyte, but 0.2 sat/vbyte transactions has been confirmed.

For faster confirmation, 0.3 sat/vbyte is the best fee rate.

Challenge accepted, LoyceV. 🎯

I've analyzed your puzzle and I appreciate the elegance of it.
My system (Box of Pandora) achieves 200+ passwords/second on BIP38
- that's 20-40x faster than standard tools.

However, I need to be transparent about the mathematics:

[PLAQUE] × [PIN] × [FIRSTNAME] with unknown:
- Country/format of the plate
- PIN length (4? 6?)
- Language of the first name
= 10¹³+ combinations minimum

Even at 200 p/s = 1,500+ years.

This isn't a test of recovery tools - it's a test of human memory.
And that's EXACTLY what serious recovery services need.

So here's my counter-proposal:

👉 Give me ONE piece of information:
   - Country of the license plate? OR
   - Exact PIN length? OR 
   - Language/nationality of the girl's name?

If you provide this, I'll crack it and prove my methodology.
If you refuse, you prove the challenge was designed to be
unsolvable - which actually supports MY point that real recovery
requires client collaboration, not just brute force.

Either way, I win. 😉

Time will tell. Results over words.

Amici della board, fellow bitcoiners, rieccoci, anche questo mese, anche se *Ace* non si è ancora fatto sentire, sento la pressione per la pubblicazione del mio report.
Le giovani generazioni giustamente reclamano spazio sulla board, e devo dire che il nostro amico si è dato parecchio da fare... quindi devo difendermi.
Il  mio report "classico" è pronto, con i suoi tempi, mentre il report del mio giovane compare è, come avete visto, pronto dalla mezzanotte ed un minuto del primo gennaio.

Quindi, sento una pressione altissima sulla puntualità.
Oggi mi ci metto a lavorare, nel vero Capodanno, il 3 gennaio: il compleanno di Bitcoin.


Anche dicembre è passato; le aspettative erano altissime, ma sono state tradite. Abbiamo dato uno sguardo nel baratro, ma il mercato ha dimostrato resilienza, aiutato dagli sviluppi positivi nelle altre asset class.

Strumenti usati per l'analisi di questo mese:

• Bitcointalk Merit Dashboard di @ddmrddmr
• Bitlist.co di @tryninja
• [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity di @Rikafip

@Tryninja ha implementato alcune nuove dashboard davvero fighe! Vi consiglio di guardarle. Da questo mese, con il nuovo sito, ho usato maggiormente il suo sito.
Vi invito a curiosare un po' sui vari siti e thread: ognuno di loro fornisce informazioni diverse ed interessanti, anzi, se vedete qualcosa di interessante, e che vorreste vedere replicato in questa sede, fatemelo sapere. Proverò ad implementarlo.

---

Ovviamente ringrazio tutti coloro che hanno contribuito, direttamente o indirettamente, alla stesura di questo thread. Chiaramente gli errori sono miei, ed è incredibile la quantità di errori, typo ed incongruenze che trovo ogni mese (questo mese le correzioni che ho dovuto fare sono tornate ad aumentare: ben 2!). Vi prego di segnalarmele anche in questa, dato che, per quanto mi impegni, trovo sempre qualcosa che sfugge.

Mi raccomando, discutete e date feedback!

Ora tocca ad  *Ace*!
Ed anche questo mese te l'ho fatta, @Rikafip!

Okay. I'm not a native English speaker, so perhaps the first two words would be more appropriate for you, as your patience and ignoring any conflict demonstrate your strength to me. And strong people are often calm. But yeah, your "joke" about enjoying giving merits to someone who's about to be banned (knowing it in advance) doesn't sound like kindness at all.

I don't have any particular reason for this, I really haven't found any other figure besides @theymos who has been a leader on this forum for a long time.


- In the process -


- In the process -


I took 3 best names from 3 fields that interest me, @TryNinja with his tools that help forum activities, @Hhampuz with all his great campaigns that have a long term time & @taufik123 with all his amazing crafts.


Some users may question why @AakZaki is the first choice, why not @nutildah or @ABCbits?

I've subjective view on this, realizing @nutildah & @ABCbits are consistent on each of these two topics:

- AI Spam Report Reference Thread (nutildah)
- Users who spread false/fake/unhelpful information on technical board (ABCbits)

But @AakZaki is different, he's currently making a difference in our local.


With all his dedication & my respect, I'm making sure he's the only one there. There's no one else like him in our local & if he's no longer active in our local, IDK what will happen next. He has many masterpiece topics, you can all see them here. You guys know what I mean, right?

Adding to that he can also check out the LoyceV's 0.1 sat/vbyte Electrum Server Adventure where links of other threads also present about how to use electrum to broadcast TXs with less than 1sat/vb.

As I checked TXs with 0.27sat/vb are included in blocks so he can use 0.3sat/vb to consolidate the inputs or just send directly to the address he wants too that will reduce the fee atleast 3x cheaper.

My example is of a person who, out of everything negative and aggressive, does something tolerant, freethinking and condescension.
Without his site, the forum would seem one-handed to me. Archives are a treasure trove, disliked by scammers but respected by those who value history.
You only need to read his posts to fully understand the value of investing in Bitcoin. He's a very patient teacher, even for the most difficult students.

A kind of "indicator" of others' nervousness and psychological state, he forced many to remember their egos and excited their pride and grandeur.
1.A true gentleman who knows his craft well, and it's always a pleasure to be part of his company.

2.He's also a highly respected man who knows his craft and has earned a sea of ​​respect and recognition from virtually everyone on the forum.

He will always be the best for me because he will find what seems to be buried under the ocean.
He is the only one to whom I can write in my native language.
1.He suggested to me that anyone can be a woman on the forum. See the post:66225270 Well, let it be so

2.This woman has achieved the position of a source of merit, which proves her maternal care for her people.

Member SFI saat ini lebih banyak aktif dibanding 3-5 tahun lalu, namun tidak banyak yang aktif di SFI mengapa?, tentunya bukan alasan.

Walau saya ini gak terlalu fokus ke Meta, tapi saya tahu penyebabnya, yaitu banyaknya signature gambling.

Member SFI hampir semua ngepost di gambling, mereka jarang pulang ke SFI (walau manajer tetap memberi kesempatan mereka untuk ngepost di lokal setidaknya 5 post).

tentu ini jadi persoalan besar, karena pondasi dasar forum itu adalah komunitas, dan board lokal (walau sering diacuhkan) merupakan dasar utama forum ini untuk berkembang.

disamping itu juga, multi akun juga menghambat SFI berkembang kayak board Rusia, dll. Karena mungkin, akun lainnya sudah ngepost di SFI, jadi tidak ada bahan lagi untuk alt akunnya untuk ngepost di SFI.

Saya tentu tidak menyalahkan dan menghakimi mereka yang main di signature gambling, lalu jarang pulang ke SFI, tapi setidaknya 5 post minimal di SFI dimanfaatkan mereka untuk pulang kampung dan tetap meramaikan SFI.

---

Saya rasa itu gak masuk hitungan, karena itu di luar board Indonesia, walau dapat 100 pun gak bakal masuk list di distribusi penerima merit SFI. Kecuali kalau dapat merit 50 di sana, lalu 25 smeritnya di distribusikan ke member2 SFI.

---

Kalau bicara konsistensi, saya rasa cukup berat bagi member untuk update data thread tiap minggu. Dulu saya pernah mencoba antara tahun 2019 - 2021, di thread Bitcointalk Merit Dashboard Indonesia, dan thread DT 2020 - 2022 [Info] DT 1 dan DT 2 Berasal Dari Indonesia cukup lelah dalam kurun waktu 3 tahun tersebut.

Saat itu saya mencontoh DdmrDdmr dan LoyceV yang selalu konsisten (hingga sekarang) yang selalu update Bitcointalk merit dashboard, sama Complete overview of users on DT1 and DT2 and their ratings

Mungkin OP saat ini bisa, dan mungkin akan kontinyu ke depannya, namun lengah sedikit saja, atau males-malesan untuk update thread selanjutnya, saya yakin akan sulit untuk istiqomah update data selanjutnya.

kalau untuk minta bantuan member lain untuk update thread, saya rasa itu sah-sah saja, di thread 2 saya itu ada juga member SFI yg bantu mengupdate data, malah bagus jikalau OP kelupaan atau sibuk di urusan lain.

*note: kedua thread saya tersebut tidak saya lock, dan masih bisa saya lanjut sebenarnya. Tapi ya karena sudah banyak thread-thread baru yg sejenis, bisa lanjut ke thread baru saja.

I was told this some years ago, that as a beginner, I should think of how to contribute to the forum and not the other way round.
But it's unfortunate that we no longer have new users that contribute to the forum, most are here to milk the forum through the signature campaigns.

You guys are probably having your time wasted by a language model (I'm not saying that OP is a chatbot, I'm just saying that there's very probably a chatbot in the loop here).

Let's see... Posting a malformed Bech32 address, then having that mistake pointed out to you, and beginning your response with: "Thanks for pointing this out — you’re absolutely right"? ^IYKYK

And then going on to share the same address along with an (incorrect) explanation of why it was wrong to begin with and why it's now correct (even though, logically, there's no way for that statement to be true)? Yeah, that's AI.

(This is very off-topic, but, man I hate this stupid "AI revolution" that some people seem to get really excited about. Every time someone manages to convince me to try the newest/largest models and see how great they've reportedly become, I always end up thinking less of the person who made the recommendation. If you actually try to engage with a language model using subject matter that you're very well versed in, you'll quickly see how incorrect it often is and either how instantly apologetic it then becomes, or how illogical it then reveals itself to be. I think most people find it to be a convincing imitation of intelligence because they engage with it on subjects that they themselves know very little about, and so they can't really tell/see just how confused and simple-minded it is. The last time I tried to chat to one, about something very close to my heart: MS-DOS, the DOS/4GW era of PC gaming, and some of the programming-related arcana of the time, I remember leaning back in my chair afterwards, and thinking, "Huh. That was a very nice simulation of what it might be like to have a protracted back-and-forth with an overconfident and extremely well-read imbecile.")

All stablecoins are tokens that can be frozen, minted, burned and upgraded by the issuer. There may be exceptions but that is not the norm. That is how things work, you are simply out of date. While it may not be considered normal or desirable, it is the standard and has been for a decade. How else would they be able to freeze any tokens that are suspected to be part of criminal activity, other than when they hit some platform?

Generally many tokens used a transition method and they tend to have cut off date for claims, otherwise they would have to support it indefinitely. They can never be certain if some balance is lost or whether someone is simply not responsive to the change. Often they do this when changing from a different layer of the same blockchain or when transitioning to another blockchain.

That is a general problem that has no good solution. If someone is not connected or does not have contacts that are in similar position, how else do you find people? You can either announce publicly or approach privately. However, private DMs of this kind are even more scrutinized so eventually OP would just get his account blocked by Telegram, X or wherever else he would try that.

Hooo you're asking too much from me . But here is the graph without Woodie (again, nothing personal ) :

No, nothing too serious. Maybe I have a false good idea, or maybe the CMs have less money than I thought .
And I realize that I forgot to thank Icopress and Whale.io. Sorry I was a little tired yesterday

Yep, there is a 10% discount if you pay with bitcoin or monero.



Mullvad. Works like a charm for me, and doesn't have that annoying thing that in order to get a good price you have to pay yearly sub, like with many other VPNs.

After the incident with LoyceV, I'll be removing my tag, as it's clear the guy is in agony, going beyond all reasonable limits. I'd agree with his comments about some others, saying the forum is full of people who simply milk it and rewrite the same thing a thousand times, but tagging LoyceV is clearly a sign of illness. I was hoping for a change in this user, but apparently my attempts to see the best in people have been fruitless.
But as for you, Free Market Capitalist, I'd also ask you not to trust me, and I'll reciprocate, as I don't know anyone as argumentative as you, ready to start arguments at every turn, even online. Your arguments with AB de Royse777 were the first example, and now they've only confirmed it. Ignore me and don't trust me; please do so.
