Topic: Ban Appeal RegulusHr and discussion on topic "good for the forum as a whole". - page 7. (Read 6288 times)

Just wanted to write how ccminer/enemy-1.03 is much better when mining x16r algo then other options when I saw it is included in new version of cryptoguiminer. I am still testing it for now but it reports average hashrate of 46MH/s on pool page (average in 12 hours, 5xGTX1070) which is in line with declared values on https://cryptoguiminer.com, the miner itself shows hashrate of 47-52MH/s. Pool always reports little less, so I am happy with results.

When you notice that your miner has lower hashrate then declared, first check mining software. You can check what other miners use on pool pages which can help a lot.

@Z.X. has made a good point that in case when you often switch the coin you are mining you end up with small amount of coins on multiple exchanges. I decided to solve this by mining coins from same exchanges instead the most feasible one at that moment.  
Exchanges have exit fees which can significantly change the total feasibility of mining. Ie. Crypto bridge has exit fee of 0.0010 BTC, which means that my machine needs whole day of work just to cover that exit fee.

So now, theymos had made another update with ban appeals and ban methods. As to what I have read from the inputs of other users stating that there is no permban already but there are consequencies.

This is somehow a good way to prevent the going down numbers of users that are active in the forum. Imagine if there are 5K bans per day or per month then how many active users will stay? This will diminished the users ideas and inputs for the betterment of cryptocurrency in the future because we need everyone here in the forum to contribute meaningfully and help enlighten other users especially to the newbies or new comers.

I admire theymos now taking another step for the good of forum. Removing permban and replacing it to punishements for the offenses will make a user to still participate in the forum removing some of its features like wearing signature for about some time.

 I suggest to make it this way on the time frame for one that cannot wear signature.

6 months for the first offense
1 year for the second offense
1 1/2 year for the third offense
then permban for the 4th offense.

Idea behind project:
Truewho will be online identity confirmation service. Idea is to avoid doing KYC procedure on every exchange or project for which you are interested. Truewho service will guarantee with their reputation for truthfullness of data you have given to exchange / project and guarantee protection of your personal information. Idea seems very good to me, and team of Electroneum ponders to provide same or similar service, so probably there will be competition.

Token economy:
Nominal value of token is 1 WHO = $0,2
In whitepaper they didn't wrote how big is hard cap and soft cap. On their Telegram channel they answered me that soft cap is 2 million dollars, and hard cap is 60 million dollars. According to my calculation if they sell all tokens that are allocated for sale, hard cap should be 80 million dollars. In presale they give 50% bonus, while in ICO bonus is 5% and drops to zero when they sell half of the tokens.
At the moment presale is active for which they allocated 2 million dollars worth of tokens.

Presale is active from 15.09. until all the tokens are sold or 19.10.2018.
ICO starts 19.10.2018. until 21.1.2019.

Project will make income by selling user verification services to various companies. They also plan to make income from users if they want to share access to their personal information to third party, but third party is not willing to pay for it.

Bounty:
Details of bounty campaign are not yet published, but they will be soon. They start with marketing campaign starting October.
For now you can earn some tokens with registration and passing KYC on their webpage.


Team:
I found out for this project because I follow the news about Dropil project, and first five people behind Truewho are the same people like in Dropil. Dropil is good project with stabile price of the token even in bear market and I have good opinion about the team. The idea is that Dropil will be first user of Truewho services. Difference between Dropil and Truewho is that Dropil is ERC20 token and Truewho is Stellar platform token. Team promises that you wil get activated Stellar address with enough XLM to cover the expenses of large number of transactions. Truewho company is registered on Malta 04.07.2018. The reason why Malta is chosen is because of EU directive of personal data protection, and the founders are from USA.

Impression:
The core of project is user database, and initial webpage is open and the database is starting to fill. Until the start of ICO they plan to have working solution. Everything is still in early phase, they are at the beginning, and they focus on web page optimisation.
2 million soft cap is in my opinion more then enougt for project to start. For this type of project the marketing and contact with potential clients are essence. That is why there is so big difference between soft cap and hard cap. I don't see other reason why would they need 60 million dollars.

Conclusion:
Idea behind this project is good and it comes in the right time, because there is KYC flood coming. In the end fate of this project will depend on marketing, and if the project builds reputation I believe that a lot of teams will let Truewho to take care of KYC, not only in crypto world.
Negative side is extremely high hard cap.

Bounty thread: -

Global mods were given the ability to ban signatures only yesterday. Do you think we can get through all the appeals in one day? Be patient.

It's true that cards convert almost all 100% of the current into the heat but it does not make sense to use it primarily for heating. This with a quartz heater of less power is subjective because the same curret directly converts to the heat and by me are totally unprofitable devices except for handy heating.
In the first and second case you turn your electricity into heat in a ratio of 1 to 1 which means for 1kWh of electricity you get 1kWh of heat energy at a temperature of 50-90 ° C..
Heat pumps are devices which best exploit electricity for heating with a factor of 2 to 3.5, which would mean that for 1 kWh of electricity you get 2 to 3.5 kWh of heat energy where the outlet temperature is about 40-50 ° C.
Therefore, heat pumps should be used for heating to electricity. The most famous heat pumps are air conditioners so if you have a new inverter air conditioner which can heat up while the outside temperature is approx. -5 ° C then there is no more cost-effective heating (only heating on wood is more cost-effective).
I deliberately wrote -5 ° C although manufacturers usually write -10 or -15°C but then air conditioner efficiency decreases significantly.
So, in order to avoid pretense, to buy rig for heating so that by the way some coin stay is crazy.

theres a lot of people using exactly the same sentence (and not banned for it).

As a bonus there is a third guy with the same post which I'm now going to report:

This is the fact that OP has been ban forever. The copied and paste post is enough already for OP to stop complaining. There are many ban users here in the forum and others had been accepted the fact already. So, I guess it will be a matter of time so that OP will going to accept the fate of his/her bitcoinalk precious account.

Theymos and moderators will not going to lift the ban OP. They are just silent because the permban was decided already.

There's been no policy change. redsn0w wasn't permanently banned due to several factors which made me think that permabanning him would be a net negative for the forum. Nobody is banned strictly because of "the rules"; it's always handled case-by-case, but almost always, plagiarists deserve to be permabanned.

If you think that a ban should be ended, make your case in a new topic from a "good for the forum as a whole" perspective.

I just had a quick look through OP's posts and found one more example of copied text, it is short (98 characters) but definitely copied as it's taken from the same topic 5 hours later.

As a bonus there is a third guy with the same post which I'm now going to report:

Does anybody think seriously that local members still supporting RegulusHR here, even 4 months after he received permaban, because they are hoping that he will again become merit source?
Seriously?

If his permaban will be removed, what will be only second or third such case in the history of this forum, he will be lucky if will be allowed to write posts here or to have signature without any restrictions.
Don't you think that there is another reason that is much more likely and logical for such great support for RegulusHr, support that is unrecorded in the history of this forum?

I have not read the comments, but it's safe to assume that many members have this conspiracy theory occupying a huge part of their brains, the theory however is not completely invalid.

anyhow, it is almost certain that if this member is to be un-banned, there is probably less than 0.00001% chance for him becoming a merit source again, so if this is the only reason why his community are standing up for him( which i doubt), then i suggest one of them should apply for merit source already.

The problem here is that many members believe that the Croatian board is standing up for Regulus because they want their merit source back or the milking cow

💰💰 Multisignature address and wallet 💰💰

Discussion regarding forum security has triggered my memory (read something a long time ago) and made me research into one of BTC address features which is the possibility of BTC transaction to be signed with multiple private keys.
The idea is that there are multiple private keys for one public address. The keys don't have to be on same device or even in possession of the same person and to execute the transaction you need multiple signatures. You can find more details here

There is a lot of combinations, ie. you can create 3 private keys and configure it that 2 of them are enough to execute transaction. You can have one key on computer wallet, second on mobile phone and third on USB stick (or Ledger Nano). Since you would probably use computer key most often, the second key on mobile phone is actually working like personal 2FA authentication.

It is not probable that some hacker will succeed to gain 2 of your keys at the same time because he would need get into two of your devices. If you can't access one of your devices you can still use your assets immediately (you can also make backups of all your keys).
List of wallets which can use multisignature addresses with short descriptions you can findhere.

Personally I like Electrum because it is wallet available on multiple platforms, has portable version (USB stick) and I already have it installed on my computer. There is also a tutorial on how to create Multisignature wallet with Electrum.

If some of you have experience with multisignature addresses please share it with us here.

Encouraged by the great interest for Airdrops and Bounty Campaigns, I have decided to write this post to briefly describe the strategy and my own experience on what to do after you get your first tokens.
I think the text is relevant for tokens up to $ 100-150. Later, I'll explain why.
As the majority of today's tokens are based on the Ethereum platform (these tokens are mostly called ERC20 Tokens) I've adapted the text to explain the trading with these tokens. In the text I will not describe how to trade with tokens on EtherDelta, cause there are a lot of tutorials on Youtube, the same thing applies for  the MetaMask, wich I strongly recommend to use.
It can be that I will turn attention on some details that was difficult to find.
After signing up for tokens to be airdropped or by doing a Bounty campaign, after a month two, your first token is deployed to your address. The first thing that you whant to know is the value of the token.
To check if the tokens has arrived on your address and what value they have I reccomand to use ethplorer.io, here you can see chronologically all the tokens you got, cause in a month or two, if you was diligent iun your work, the list can become crowded. If the tokens are officially listed elsewhere, you will immediately see their value. If the tokens are not yet officially listed their value can be checked on EtherDelta. To do this you will need a contract address, a token symbol, and a number of decimal places. All those contract details can be found on ethplorer.io.
Since EtherDelta is not quite a user friendly interface, I have just recently discovered where to enter the contract information that interests me and is not officially listed. In the upper left corner you have a drop-down list with all officially listed tokens and on the bottom you have an option where  to insert the data on your token ("Other").
There is another web site, DeltaBalances, where you could directly see the token value (this option is no longer working), this site can be used to see what tokens has been distributed to your address, and by clicking on the token itself you can see the available markets where those tokens can be traded, like EtherDelta or Fork Delta, without the need to insert manually the information under "Other" on EtherDelta.
DeltaBalances also shows some tokens that are assigned to each ETH address, but they worth nothing, so just ignore them.
Here you can see for example a comparative token list on the same ETH address on ethplorer.io and DeltaBalances, notice that only the RBL tokens are transferred to the address.
When you should sell the recived tokens?
The tokens who are connected to one successful project will have a low value after the distribution of the airdrop or/and bounty prizes to the partecipants. You have to wait a n exchange listing where the increase of the trading volume should positive affect the increas in value too. If your plan is to sell tokens immediately, do it as soon as possible than, the brst time sould be the first day after the listing, you are trying to catch here an investor who has missed the  ICO, for example. The only good thing about selling such a quick sale is that you will get some money from those tokens that will eventually collapse because, as a rule, in those first days you still don't know his destiny.
If you decide to hold, then wait until the token is listed on some exchange with a bigger trading volume. Keep yourself informed, read all the information provided by a team working on a token that you are trading with.

Why trade on EtherDelta or ForkDelta?
For those who don't  know ForkDelta is an EtherDelta clone and both sites use the same trading agreement. But there is one difference. The sale of the token that is made on EtherDel will also be seen on ForkDelti while the reverse is not valid. That's why is good to create dals on EtherDelta and watch the market situation on ForkDelta.
At the beginning I've mentioned that this text is good for tokens with a value up to $ 100. The main reason for this because of  the exchange exit fees. If you want to withdraw BTC or ETH from the exchange, you can be chargerd ~5-10$, which sometimes exceeds the token value itself. The fees you have to pay on EtherDelta are the network charge for the token transfer (between $ 0.01 and $ 0.15), exchange access fee (0.3% of the token value), and a network fee for withdrawing ETH from the exchange. As a rule, if you are willing to wait twenty minutes for the transaction to run, both transactions will be under $ 0.20. You can merge multiple tokens into one transaction and save even more on fees.
The fee on EtherDelta can be marked as only 0.3%, that is negligible at all.

To optimize the transaction speed and the price of the tx itself use Ethgasstation. After a few transactions you will already be practicing and getting the feeling of how low you can go with Gas to make it all going reasonably fast. I usually use SafeLow + 20% of Gas price, and in such cases I go to 90% SafeLow.
Edit 7.5.18. If you have put too low gas price
