Because she handled this incident in a constructive way? Unlike how some other people react when accused of the same.
Most users banned (perma/temp/sig) for plagiarism didn't have a chance to handle anything. Posts would get reported, most wouldn't even get posted in a public thread like this, and a ban would follow. Which raises some questions as to why this wasn't reported to mods, or if it was - why mods didn't act.
I hate to say this but it is plagiarism and if rules were consistently applied - Lauda should be temp-and-sig-banned.
Unless he bought the account sometime in 2016, in which case it's all cool

These only happens when you're too desperate to get revenge.
Regardless of what the motives were in discovering these posts by Lauda, they still exist and were found--and there have been tons of members who've been banned for plagiarism they've committed years in the past. My question is: should those members have been allowed to edit their old posts with references and/or explanations in lieu of a ban? While Lauda claims that what he/she wrote must have been from memory, somehow I don't think Lauda would accept that as a valid reason for many of the plagiarists who've gotten caught--nor would a lot of the rest of us, for that matter.If Lauda doesn't get a ban, it would certainly appear (to my eyes, at least) he/she's getting a pass on this whereas other members have been banned mercilessly with no chance to retroactively correct omissions of citations. I'll definitely be watching this one.
Seems like the Cycling Club will take over LoL.
Hey man, I'm all for the Fox Team Cyclers. May 21, 2020, 08:29:52 PM
Outstanding effort.
These only happens when you're too desperate to get revenge.So as for the user who have been here and just created an alt to do that, it is indeed a success.
And now, we will be seeing some users who'll likely to celebrate when Lauda get's her punishment.
Just what will happen to the Cult?

@bitcoinchan You might possibly be an alt but it's really something to go after 26k+ posts and check for plagiarism. Outstanding effort.
But I wouldn't want Lauda to be banned for this reason, she has contributed a lot to the forum apart from these. I think a Signature ban would do.

Maybe so that his report shows on the last page of the thread.
I was banned for plagiarizing a much smaller number of characters. You can read this story from a year ago.

Thank you for reporting these. I must have unknowingly repeated and paraphrased text that I had previously read and remembered. It was not intentional. I am making explicitly marked corrections, with appropriate citation of sources, and links to the earliest available archived versions of my edited posts. I will not remove any posts, or try to hide anything.
Some of the sources provided by bitcoinchan were not correct. On researching my own posts, I found that: Source of text from Post 3 is actually Wikipedia.

For Post 5, bitcoinchan cited a post on another forum that apparently plagiarised this:

Text from Post 6 was published in a book that I have not read: Greta Christina, Why Are You Atheists So Angry?: 99 Things That Piss Off the Godless (Pitchstone Publishing, 2012). Bitcoinchan cited something that appears to be her earlier blog, but I cannot verify this. The same text seems to be copied and pasted all over the Internet, often without attribution. I don't know where I saw it (or some of the other items here).
In no case did I knowingly copy anything.
You may not be aware of this, but I was banned several times for the infractions made during my earlier time on the forum. It was only through extensive private conversations with BadBear during or around my ban, who taught me the right way to behave on the forum, did things started to change. BadBear was one of the strictest mods on the forum (with many complaints from idiots to prove it). I appreciated BadBear's guidance that helped make me a good contributor to the community; and I have continually tried to improve since then.
These posts made in 2014-2015 were all long before theymos made me a moderator. The archives linked by bitcoinchan show me as "Staff", but Archive.org made those snapshots much later. I despise plagiarism, but appreciate your effort in helping me correct those posts.

From an outside observer's standpoint, Christianity is kind of absurd.
Think about it. We believe in an invisible man who lived over 2,000 years ago in a series of backwater towns in the Middle East, was killed by some religious zealots, and then was magically raised from the dead three days later, after which he floated up into the sky and disappeared, thus becoming the invisible man we now believe in and pin all our hopes to. Oh, and on top of that, we believe in other invisible beings: angels and demons—who are all around us, helping and influencing us. Meanwhile, another invisible Spirit (the Holy Spirit) is constantly at work behind the scenes around the earth, keeping the whole thing straight and intervening whenever He can.

If you would like, gather a million faithful believers together into a prayer circle. Have them all pray together that God cures every case of cancer on the planet tomorrow. Pray sincerely, knowing that when God answers this completely heartfelt, unselfish, non-materialistic prayer, it will glorify God and help millions of people in remarkable ways.
Will it happen? Of course not. Your prayer will go unanswered, in direct defiance to Jesus' promises in the Bible. That is because God is imaginary.

Your English levels are under those of a 5th grader. Consider taking a course, because you complicate things and usually make no sense.
I never said that SHA256 for a normal computer wasn't SHA128 for a quantum one. You didn't explain it because it can't be explained well i.e. what you said effectively makes no sense. A quantum computer can't beat SHA 256 (i.e. SHA 128). Actually if SHA gets broken the problem will be on a much larger scale where Bitcoin will be irrelevant (unless globally adopted). A lot of things use SHA, for example banks.
What I'm trying to say is:
For SHA256, it effectively becomes SHA128 to a Quantum computer. Now the question remains, can a Quantum search for SHA128 faster than a classical computer search through SHA256?
With out current technology and for the near future, we still can't build a real Quantum computer that can even begin to tackle this problem, let alone solve it.

Shor's Algorithm applies to prime factorization, which SHA256 doesn't use.
What you're looking for to crack SHA256 is Grover's Algorithm. Basically under classical models of computation the optimal way to find a matching hash is to simply search through the entire space yielding O(n). Under Quantum Computing the optimal time is O(n^0.5), which means effectively you have halved the key-length.
For SHA256, it effectively becomes SHA128 to a Quantum computer. Now the question remains, can a Quantum search for SHA128 faster than a classical computer search through SHA256?
With our current technology and for the foreseeable future, we still cannot build a Quantum computer that can yet begin to tackle this problem, let alone solve it in a time within our lifespan. Thus SHA256 is considered "secure enough" for now.

I see no information about 128 bit keys being broken. Any information found on stackexchange has no guarantee to be correct. It confirms what I said. SHA can't be reversed; it has to be brute forced.
It clearly indicated that quantum computers are more powerful than the computers of today, which is logical. There is no information on there internet about this. You're talking out of a hat.
Yes 128 bit security is 18446744073709551616 times faster to bruteforce than 256 bit. This doesn't mean that it is vulnerable when used.
It's obvious that people are commenting without proper knowledge in quantum related technology. The computers are not nowhere near ready to do any complicated jobs.
The main challenge in a Qcomputer is to make sure that the qubits are entangled (if you're familiar with Schrödinger’s cat you will know what I'm talking about; look that up). The computer must stay in this state (for the cat - it can't be simultaneously dead or alive) long enough to perform calculations and get results. The ones that we have can keep the state for miliseconds or maybe a couple of seconds. That's not long enough to do something useful. To break encryption these computers must have 500-2000qubits. Existing quantum computers operate with 14 qubits at maximum.
I have not forgotten about D-wave though. The company D-Wave claims that it has produced a 512 qubit Qcomputer. That is not a real quantum computer because it uses quantum annealing effect and can't demonstrate full properties of one. It is basically set to do a few specific tasks and represents no danger to encryption.
To summarize: You're wrong. Existing implementations have not shown that they can beat 128bit encryption. They aren't even close. That's the current situation. I'm not saying that in 5 years we won't have better technology. We might operate with 1400 qubits or be stuck at 140. Nobody really knows.

Well this is actually an advanced view of the matter. This is what I expect from people who aren't from Bit-X and DaDice. You've written this very nicely. It is making them reject reasoning and critical thinking.
Religions such as Christianity are absurd. This is an objective opinion. Just think about it. How would it be if you had never heard of any religion till you were grown up and actually though for yourself? If we take Christianity for an example; you believe in an invisible man who allegedly lived over 2000 years ago. He was killed by religious zealost and then he magically raised from the dead just after three days. In addition to that, they believe in other invisible being such as angels and demons. Meanwhile, another invisible Spirit (the Holy Spirit) is constantly at work behind the scenes around the earth, keeping the whole thing straight and intervening whenever he can. The words 'whenever he can' have been specifically used because since he exists why should he save the little children from abuse and rape?

Is this supposed to be a real discussion or some troll thread? You can't really find scientific proof for something like this to not to exist. If there is no proof that it exists then it should be assumed that it does not.
What one can do is explain how the Bible and whole religion is messed. As an example take praying.
We pray sincerely, knowing that when God answers this prayer, it will glorify God and help millions of people in remarkable ways. What will happen when we pray? Nothing.
I'm not exactly sure from which part this is but I know that it exists "Ask and it will be given to you". If we all ask for cancer to be cured it definitely will.

This was not easy to understand for someone who's not native to English. People believe in something because they need to, hence hope exists. This doesn't affect it being true or not.
We used to think something(X) was caused by physical cause and effect, but now we understand that it's caused by God, or spirits, or demons, or the soul.

Now. The number of times that a natural explanation of a phenomenon has been replaced by a supernatural or religious one? The number of times humankind has said,
“We used to think (X) was caused by physical cause and effect, but now we understand that it’s actually caused by God, or spirits, or demons, or the soul”?

Im Moment ist es noch ganz legal möglich über den Shapeshift Trick Steuern zu sparen. Wie das funktioniert? Ganz einfach, Shapeshift ist ein Dienst, bei dem ihr eure Coins ohne Börse direkt tauschen könnt. Das Besondere ist, dass ihr bei Shapeshift nicht nur die üblichen Tradepairs habt, sondern quasi alle angebotenen Coins gegeneinander tauschen könnt. Coins, welche ihr sonst auf den Börsen nur gegen BTC oder ETH tauschen könntet, könnt ihr auf Shapeshift auch gegen andere Coins wechseln. Das hat für euch den Vorteil, dass ihr euren Wunschcoin gegen einen Coin, welchen ihr nicht halten wollt tauschen könnt und somit bei euren Hodl Coins keinen steuerpflichtigen Verkauf auslöst.
Das würde ja sonst zwangsweise passieren. Angenommen ihr habt BTC, ETH, DASH und XRP welche ihr über ein Jahr halten wollt, damit sie steuerfrei werden. Nun möchtet ihr aber vielleicht gerne auch noch ein paar PAY, ebenfalls zum Halten dazu kaufen. Und hier beginnt das Problem. Da ihr PAY nicht direkt gegen Euro kaufen könnt, sondern dafür BTC oder ETH braucht, müsstet ihr ja PAY mit euren BTC oder ETH kaufen und würdet somit bei diesen Coins einen steuerpflichtigen Verkauf auslösen. Via Shapeshift könnt ihr eben das umgehen. Dafür könntet ihr beispielsweise vorher ein paar Monero (XMR) bei Kraken direkt gegen Euro kaufen und diese dann via Shapeshift zu PAY tauschen. Somit bleiben eure anderen Coins unangetastet und wenn ihr direkt nach dem Monero Kauf die Coins umwandelt, sollte dieser Tausch steuerfrei sein, da kein Zugewinn entstanden ist. Die einzige Ausnahme wäre nur, wenn in diesem Beispiel Monero zwischen eurem Kauf und Tausch über Shapeshift merklich steigen würde, dann würde ein kleiner Gewinn entstehen, welcher dann natürlich wieder steuerpflichtig wäre. Das dürfte aber wohl deutlich weniger Steuerlast sein, als wenn ihr einen Hodl Coin verwenden müsstet.
Der Nachteil an der Sache sind die etwas höheren Gebühren als an der Börse. Der Shapeshift Kurs ist nicht immer ideal, aber in der Regel noch allemal günstiger als das was ihr sonst an Steuern zahlen müsstet.

Das würde ja sonst zwangsweise passieren. Angenommen ihr habt BTC, ETH, DASH und XRP welche ihr über ein Jahr halten wollt, damit sie steuerfrei werden. Nun möchtet ihr aber vielleicht gerne auch noch ein paar PAY, ebenfalls zum Halten dazu kaufen. Und hier beginnt das Problem. Da ihr PAY nicht direkt gegen Euro kaufen könnt, sondern dafür BTC oder ETH braucht, müsstet ihr ja PAY mit euren BTC oder ETH kaufen und würdet somit bei diesen Coins einen steuerpflichtigen Verkauf auslösen. Via Shapeshift könnt ihr eben das umgehen. Dafür könntet ihr beispielsweise vorher ein paar Monero (XMR) bei Kraken direkt gegen Euro kaufen und diese dann via Shapeshift zu PAY tauschen. Somit bleiben eure anderen Coins unangetastet und wenn ihr direkt nach dem Monero Kauf die Coins umwandelt, sollte dieser Tausch steuerfrei sein, da kein Zugewinn entstanden ist. Die einzige Ausnahme wäre nur, wenn in diesem Beispiel Monero zwischen eurem Kauf und Tausch über Shapeshift merklich steigen würde, dann würde ein kleiner Gewinn entstehen, welcher dann natürlich wieder steuerpflichtig wäre. Das dürfte aber wohl deutlich weniger Steuerlast sein, als wenn ihr einen Hodl Coin verwenden müsstet.

A study published in December by Bitcoin (BTC) fund operator Grayscale showed that 43% of investors interested in Bitcoin are women — up from 13% last year — and this number is actively growing.
As global financial conditions tightened, many people began to invest in real estate, gold, and cryptocurrencies. Assuming that females tend to be more pessimistic than males about the global economy, their confidence in cryptocurrency could significantly increase in 2020. As such, many women found a safe haven in digital assets.
Meanwhile, for others, cryptocurrencies became a promising investment. Blockchain entrepreneur Nisa Amoils pointed to the attractive investment opportunities of the market as one of the main reasons behind the growing interest of women toward digital money, telling Cointelegraph:
Many trading platforms have already seen an increase in cryptocurrency demand. For example, in March, digital currency exchange Coinbase noted the surge of deposits made by U.S. residents in the amount of $1,200 — exactly the same size as the coronavirus stimulus checks issued by the United States government.
At the same time, Bitcoin has doubled in value over the past two months, which, coupled with the recent halving event, has caused a stir around cryptocurrencies. Here, women have been just as competent as men. In particular, according to Grayscale, 49.8% of women predicted that Bitcoin’s limited emission would lead to its price growth in the future.

Quote from: https://cointelegraph.com/news/the-number-of-women-in-crypto-and-blockchain-is-skyrocketing-in-2020
it is widely believed that the cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors are almost exclusively male-dominated. However, a report released by CoinMarketCap on April 30 suggests otherwise. According to analysts, the number of women in the cryptocurrency industry increased by 43.24% in the first quarter of 2020.
Below is a breakdown of key factors that contributed to this record growth and why the numbers vary from region to region.

PoW/New algo: custom, prime gaps
Block target time 10 seconds
Block reward proportional to the current difficulty
Block reward halving every 420000
Cap: about 10 - 30 million coins
Difficulty adjusts every block and increases logarithmic (it will probably take years to get to 50)
StoneCoin was not designed to enrich the early adopters or the coin creators! The more people mine StoneCoin, the more coins per block will be produced. (Coin supply will increase logarithmic with the difficulty, this means it will grow in the beginning, but later, it won't change much.)
There won't be any premine!
To avoid instamine, the reward of the first 1152 blocks (about 48 hours) will increase quadratically to its absolute value: the current difficulty. Block reward will be 1/1152^2 * blockheight^2 * difficulty for the first 1152 blocks. This should guarantee that the difficulty is stable until the blocks yield a worthwhile amount of coins.
Source code will be available before launch (excluding the PoW function), so everyone can setup their own environment, compile the software, and check if everything works.

What is UBICOIN ?
Ubicoin is a cryptocurrency. It is a decentralized digital currency without a central bank or single administrator that can be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer ubicoin network without the need for intermediaries.
Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain.
The ubicoin blockchain is a public ledger that records ubicoin transactions. It is implemented as a chain of blocks, each block containing a hash of the previous block up to the genesis block of the chain. A network of communicating nodes running bitcoin software maintains the blockchain. Transactions of the form payer X sends Y Ubicoins to payee Z are broadcast to this network using readily available software applications.

Blockchain technology explained
if this technology is so complex, why call it “blockchain?” At its most basic level, blockchain is literally just a chain of blocks, but not in the traditional sense of those words. When we say the words “block” and “chain” in this context, we are actually talking about digital information (the “block”) stored in a public database (the “chain”).
