Now tell me, Otoh, honestly, how old are you?

I mean, physically.

I know how old you are mentally, so I just want to see the discrepancy.

but if you feel entitled to tell me that i should take reading lessons...

Yes, I do. When people say something like:

Quote
That clip probably was posted because of your dumb question on how to verify if someone owns an email address...
Maybe send them a verification link to the email that they need to click to verify thyat they indeed control the address...
It's really a facepalm question, and if you didn't knew the answer to it you really shouldn't be running any kind of website where people need to register and verify shit...

based on the fact that they didn't bother to read.

You basically accused me of being too dumb to even understand how to verify an email address. And you felt entitled to tell me what I should and should not be running.

That was a dumb statement.

And that, of course, is entirely different from calling you dumb Smiley

and you should take some anger management lessons...

Why? I am not angry. I am not the one who suddenly jumps into the middle of conversation and starts bashing people based on a single sentence taken out of context. Good job, mate!



I didn't say it was because of your answer to me that you needed anger management lessons, but if you feel entitled to tell me that i should take reading lessons I can also start giving you advice about what kind of lessons you should take.
Now i guess you can also have some compreension lessons together with those anger management ones.

PS: I'm not your mate and I didn't said you were dumb i said it was a dumb question, which is different. I also wasn't the one to tell people to go fuck themselves in this thread...

If you'd actually took a minute to read the words, you would realize that I asked how I can verify that somebody used the same email to register in the pool as they are using to register on the forum. Do pools show emails openly?

So before you go around calling people "dumb" and telling them what they should and should not do, maybe you want to take some reading lessons.

Just charge people 1 BTC to join, and 0.01BTC to post. Problem solved.

I am not sure what your clip exactly refers to...

Should I read it as "you are so dumb!" or "you don't know a thing about mining" or "allowing miners creates rather complicated problems"?

Personally, I am not even sure why would miners want to share a forum with, for example, merchants.
Do you think there is a big overlap in the areas of interest for those two groups?




I bow for your wisdom, Otoh. Now I see everything with such clarity! You re-posting that clip made me realize how wrong I was and how to solve all the Bitcoin problems... Wait, it's fading... fading... Could you re-post it again please?

How can I check that the account somebody points to actually belongs to the email they are trying to register with?

Also, the "power limit" is not a very reliable measurement. Difficulty changes all the time. And since I am not a miner, I can't define what limit should be appropriate to be considered a valuable contribution.

As for verifying hashing capability, it should be simple to ask someone to link you their pool stats at the various pools; not difficult to verify at all.

How can I check that the account somebody points to actually belongs to the email they are trying to register with?
I.e., how can I prevent identity theft?

It would be nice to hear ideas about that from others.

Instead, you've just said "never mind", asked me to delete your account and came here to complain.

 Yeah, silly me remembered after-the-fact that you didn't have a high regard for miners, so I didn't feel like justifying my piddly 4ghash.

Not supporting/having-a-lesser-opinion-of miners is a little bit myopic, and you're somehow failing to recognize a fundamental backbone of the network.

Opportunity lost as far as I'm concerned.

This was discussed before. Since anybody can easily become a miner there is no reason to expect any correlation between simply being a miner and providing more meaningful posts or creating a better discussion atmosphere.

We could impose some "power limit" in terms of megahashes, but there are no practical ways for me to check it, short of asking to perform some complex cryptographic task Smiley

That said, operating a big mining pool is certainly a contribution.

If you feel that you have made valuable contributions to Bitcoin besides having lots of GPUs - contact me and let's talk.

On a side note, I think it would be best for miners to have their own forum, but they may be comfortable here.
