Ok.. Fair enough.

I will await the deliverance of the 1 BTC from the dweeb....


waiting....


waiting...





Maybe he will give me a estimated time of deliverance in terms of how long it might take him to gather funds or to otherwise do whatever preparations that he might need to make on his end prior to delivering the 1 BTC to me?

Now 2 Clowns and Beggars

@holydarkness and @ JayJuanGee

found each other 

Alternatively... he offered you a deal to give you 1 BTC because he think you're a beggar by having your address displayed. I think the clause of the deal is quite clear. He think you're in need of money, and thus he offered to give, voluntarily. This does not necessarily and directly translates into begging, what he thinks does not necessarily means what actually happening, as you did not make an explicit post asking for donation, thus no forum rule is being violated. On the other hand... he offered a deal, be it considered as casual or written [since, well, it is written], and if he backed away from that deal...

I did not measure myself, but probably around 30 minutes....

By the way, if you had not noticed, I attempted to engage in somewhat random highlighting and/or coloring of various pieces of the text within my post, so that the changes in format did not really add much if anything to the substance of the message (and perhaps even distracted to the actual message), in similar ways that JackpotRacer's various formatting choices does not tend to help him to better communicate whatever actual underlying message that he might possibly have.


Offering a private bitcoin address in a public way (such as I do) cannot stop anyone from sending bitcoin to such bitcoin address, so it does not matter to me whether JackpotRacer voluntarily chooses to send me a bitcoin or not or even a fraction of a bitcoin.  It seems pretty lame to talk about bitcoin transactions as if they were to have to be done in 1 BTC chunks (it is a kind of amateur way of talking about bitcoin, so maybe JackpotRacer does not really know, understand and/or appreciate the value of a whole bitcoin?), when surely bitcoin transactions can be accomplished in quite an array of denominations.  

For example, frequently, I attempt to be more practical in terms of bitcoin transaction propositions that I make on the forum..  Many times my own propositions will come in the form of making bets with other members who I believe to be making extreme propositions, so frequently in those kinds of contexts, in order to make whatever point that I would be wanting to make contrary to the proposition of the other forum member, I personally do not tend to agree to bet in high amounts.. even anything that might be over a $100 or $200 or so..  - at least in terms of the dollar value.

On the other hand, sometimes bets can become a bit confusing, especially if they are not 50/50 bets, and I suppose that if odds of bets are on one side versus the other side (rather than a 50/50 bet), then by definition one side of the bet would end up having high amounts of value attached to it (if the bet were structured in that kind of a way) and the other side of the bet would have relatively lower amounts....

Another thing is that in recent times, based on some of the surprises of inconsistent and even relatively high transaction fees, I don't really want to voluntarily engage in lower level transactions on the main blockchain, unless we might agree to do our transaction on the lightning network or some kind of lower fee area (but not necessarily on any shitcoin).. .. for example transactions of less than $100 might be better to carry out on the lightning network rather than on the main chain.

But yeah whatever, I know that I did not respond to JackpotRacer's proposition to give me a gift, since an actual gift does not require any kind of back communication or acceptance, so it seems that JackpotRacer would prefer to engage in some kind of back and forth interaction that he could later self-servingly and likely disingenuinely characterize as "begging." 

On the other hand, if JackpotRacer were actually genuine in his offer, he should not need any back and forth interaction from me in regards to the topic, even though since this is a public correspondence, he currently is getting some of the back and forth that he seems to have had wanted, so in that regard, JackpotRacer can send me a bitcoin if he wants or some non-dust level amount of bitcoin - though many of us likely already can recognize and appreciate that JackpotRacer is not really a member who any of us would want to engage in any kind of voluntarily transaction in which he would actually need to follow through with any kind of a promise that he might make (if we might even get him to agree to some kind of a promise.. and in this case, if someone is sending a gift, as JackpotRacer seems to had been proposing some seeming variation of a gift, there is no reason for the recipient, such as me, to agree to the receipt of it, unless he is proposing something other than a gift.. Accordingly, could he be wanting me to jump through some hoops prior to his sending the 1 bitcoin that he supposedly has for such purposes, in the event that he really were to actually have a whole bitcoin that he is ready, willing and able to send in terms of an actual genuine offer rather than merely putting out exaggerated and baseless promises that he has no intention of fulfilling?).  

Alternatively, if this were another context and if I were to enter into some kind of a bet with a member like JackpotRacer in which there might be a requirement for compliance and/or follow-through of such promise, I would most likely prefer to have escrow for any significant amounts of bitcoin - especially since we can see that JackpotRacer has somehow managed to accumulate a decent amount of negative trust.  

I wonder why?  hahahaha..


not..

Be honest, how long do you spend to write this hilarious post?

---

Though I doubt you have 1 BTC to spare, but... did you... just... offering a written deal to JJG to send him above amount as a donation because you think he's a beggar? JJG, you accepted this offer?

You can colour your text as you like only if it is for your personal reading. You make it less straining when it's for public consumption.

It is true that you can eat whatever you like, but you can't serve the public whatever you want. Rather you'll serve what is generally acceptable.

You can drive any car you want but not a government or military car.

There's freedom, but you don't use it to inconvenience others. I spent almost 30 mins trying to read from this page. The colour hazard is a nightmare, I don't think I'm coming to this thread again.
I would have voted if there's an option like "do what is right"

The reason(s) for my post seems to already be self-contained in my post, so there is likely hardly any need for further description and/or explanation.

Surely, there can be objective and subjective ways to valuate the post(s) or the posting history of any member.

Probably, there is also no real need to go into detail in regards to the posting history of either you or me, even though both of us have been registered on the forum for quite a long time with your coming upon 9 years within a few days, and my own having a forum registration that is right around 16 months longer than you.

There have been some times in which I have engaged in some of my own formatting experiments, and even disagreeing with other forum members in regards to some of my presentation choices whether having to do with substance and/or style, so yeah to the extent that any of us might be attempting to be genuine in our communication of ideas on the forum, we do not necessarily need to agree with other members regarding some of the discretionary presentation matters in regards to style and/or substance.. even though sometimes style could get in the way, which surely seems to be more obvious in your situation as compared with my own situation, and even though at some point, there may well be questions in regards to whether some members might be presenting themselves with genuineness and perhaps even worthy of having their posts deleted or infringements upon their forum membership, whether if that might be through suspensions, banning or other forms of punishment.   

I think that theymos tends to be considerably open and tolerant of varying styles (even if some of the styles might be annoying), yet even forum administrators might have differing opinions in regards to which kinds of posts and/or which kinds of members might be deserving of their posts to be deleted or the terms of their forum membership to be curtailed in one form or another.  I doubt that my style and/or my presentation is even as close to being as questionable as to your own.. but hey whatever, I don't really care that much, even though as I said, I did end up going through this thread based on an initial interest in the topic, even though I interpret your own presentation of the issue regarding format (color specifically) devolving into a bit of trite self-absorbedness.

Thanks for the laugh as I do not understand why you took the time for this BS posting of yours?

Maybe because you are a Beggar and posted your BTC address to get some sats. Can I send you 1 BTC? 

BTW
largely,[color=purple] @JayJuanGee [/color]you are the stupid (retarded) and/or incomplete Beggar!

Shame that members like you are not banned here!

I finally finished reading through this thread, and on the surface, I thought that there might have had been some kind of potentially interesting points in regards to the use of text colors in the forum, and/or other aspects related to posting style - yet largely, Op did not raise any real interesting or meaningful points, and even his poll questions are a bit stupid (retarded) and/or incomplete.



I am surely not neutral on the topic of forum members being able to post in colors, since personally it seems that being able to add colors can potentially help to emphasize or de-emphasize certain ideas contained within any post... yet at the same time, there is likely a bit of value in judiciousness rather than just having your posts in some other chosen color of the day for seemingly random and arbitrary reasons..or maybe ONLY reasons known to OP that still get back to the idea of attempts at attention whoring rather than sharing of actual significant and/or meaningful substance.



Surely as many other members have already mentioned in this thread, OP seems to merely want to get attention and does not really have much if anything to say with his font color choices, which also have already been pointed out to be both colorful and also screaming with BOLD.. and surely OP specifically fails/refuses to recognize and/or appreciate his own seemingly non-substantive desires for attention over meaningless and unimportant points which goes to trolling, distractions and noise rather than providing any kind of meaningful and substantive contributions to the forum.



I am not going to claim to have had read all (or even any.. from the substance of OP's posts in this thread and without even reading any of OP's historical posts, I am having some trouble imagining that there is any value in OP's historical posts) of OP's historical posts, and I doubt that it is even necessary to go through such a likely painful experience, since I merely became acquainted with OP through this thread, and I already saw enough of his boring repetitive drolling to realize that his desires to use varying font colors while bolding such text is not really helpful to anyone (perhaps not even helpful to himself), except to show him as a bit of an uninteresting nuisance.. and likely either immature, disingenuine (in terms of purposefully wanting to distract from topics, which is also known as trolling) or mentally instable as others have already mentioned aspects of these ideas and/or assessments of OP's character.. which surely is NOT likely too central to OP's stated purpose of this thread, but his own style ends up unnecessarily drawing attention to his character rather than really allowing some kind of meaningful exploration of potential upsides to using color and style within the font choices of posts.

Fair enough and thanks for the nice example

Naturally, too much of anything can be very problematic, I only support appropriate usage of the color text without abusing it such a way it will not become irritating in the eyes of the reader, I think the colored text are meant to be used in marking a vital and important note that should get the reader attention easily as regards to how much of important the text is to the poster, below is one user color texting pattern I admires so much.


You can see how important and vital the colored text can be to those it is relating to.

I did do the poll. But you are right that I should have mentioned my vote: It was for neutral. because I see it as neither a bad nor good thing.

You said in your opening post that you were being attacked for your colorful text. I just decided to be truthful from my perspective as to why that may be. I did not mean to hurt your✨💖🌸 feelings 🌸💖✨.

Just read your post again, you should see that you attacked me! Let me say it again > this is a poll and you should vote and can explain why you voted how.

Since you show a signature, I thought you were a member of a signature campaign. That you have rented your space for a signature is not written there!
That you have no minimum or maximum postings or that you are not a member of a signature campaign does not matter, because you get paid for showing your signature. The word >renting< tells me that you are getting paid to carry the signature. Simple as that. If you were to have that signature without payment, I would apologize. Is there a member who carries a signature without being paid? I would take my hat off! as you can see I am not a member of any signature campaign and never have been.

Now back to the colored text, since you are still complaining.

you can color your text as you like same for me
you can eat whatever you like same for me
you can drive any car you like and same for me
you can vote as you like and same for me

this list can go on and on

I strongly oppose it and I would actually support a total ban of colored texts. The basic editing tool like bold and underline is more than enough to highlight something in your post. I'm glad that it's not a common occurrence here and I would probably end up ignoring members who post like that. No offense to anyone who thinks it's okay.

Contain your impotent rage, I was not trying to insult nor attack you. Perhaps you have thin skin or simply misunderstood me?   

Also, I have no posting requirements. I rent the signature out privately, not through a signature campaign. And even if you did not know that you could have taken a look at my number of posts and realized that I had way more posts than any signature campaign would count as a maximum. So your argument that I posted simply to show off my signature makes no sense.

But back to the color issue, yes greener is better on the eyes. Your red and green text makes it feel like Christmas in March.

I voted "I support it" because although I never use this option, "Change Color", myself, I have nothing against it either. I think, if it exists here on bitcointalk there's a reason for that. Sometimes when someone utilizes this option they make their posts looking more clear and also fun to read. But, of course, overusing it is not advisable.

Oh, I did not know that you are the signature manager of Livecasino.io and you pay for these shitty and insulting posts.

if it is a minor dispute or not it does not matter as it is a posting here in forum. why do you think you will not get any payment for postings in sub forums the signature manager tells you?

Regarding @Igebotz I can say that he has no right to insult like he did and he should do his DD like you should do.

I am sure that Livecasino.io will not be happy to pay even 1 Sat for these posts.

Same for your signature manager and the owner of BC.game

Yes he will, we don't give a shit about some minor disputes.
I've seen nothing wrong here, you asked for votes, votes come with opinions and it seems to me you're the one handling it immaturely.

Igebotz is one of the better posters in gambling sections and his strong opinions bring some color (pun intended) to a forum filled with ChatGPT bots.

Don't you get it? this is a simple poll and everyone can write his opinion but the poll is not about me that means there is no reason to insult me or mention me. JUST VOTE and tell us your opinion if and why a forum has text formatting and should be deleted or not. it is not a personal poll.

Everyone is welcome to hate me, but he should think about why he does and should do his DD.

Maybe I will open a poll who is the most hated member on this forum and why LOL = not a bad idea though.

Your chances are very small as you are just a stupid signature spammer without sticking to the topic of this thread, so no reason to hate you. One can only feel sorry for you 

Shame that your signature manager pays you even 1 sat for these posts.
