Topic: Translations of some of the best posts on the local language boards. - page 2. (Read 720 times)

This one has a merit form dmrdmr, who by the way writes excellent posts and has done good analysis of the forum.

I read this one a while ago. I am sorry but this does not deserve merit in my view. Maybe some other member will consider it.

The first think that comes to my mind is that this post would need to be in local languages  

It is relatively easy to get merit on the Spanish forum but... I had in mind opening a merit review thread there and this may be a good time. So, if anyone feels that his post in the Spanish forum has not been properly considered just ask for a review. Just make sure that the post is decent and no older than a few weeks -  if it is real crap I will ignore you for a month.

Please, make sure that the post does have a decent chance of merit and also please make sure that you have not participated in merit trading with your alts or friends. Also, I am suspicious of newbies asking questions that have been solved many times. Sometimes those are the reasons why merit is not given.

There are a few people that are very active in the Spanish forum bringing news. I sometimes merit those, but I would be happy if more knowledge about the market, mining and original problem-solving were brought here. Some hints:

- A long post is not always "meritorio".
- An opinion is an opinion and if it does not bring knowledge or something new I won´t merit it.
- I will merit you even if I disagree as long as your post is well thought. A merit is not a "like" and I don´t have ownership of all truth.
- I don´t merit more in my threads than in others.
- Helping others effectively is highly recommended.

What I would like to drive is a section that is a source of good information and help for everyone and increase the number of people who regularly visit it.

Now... let´s go and talk crypto.

A newbie with a brain  (Spanish Board): https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/que-no-se-repita-la-historia-de-los-super-asesores-en-los-ico-3922124

Translation:
"Do not repeat the SUPER ADVISORS history in the ICO


In the long road we have undertaken in the world of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, we have found a recurring theme, which apparently is a vice that comes from something older than the original idea of ​​these projects.

In many societies, the state pretended to make us believe that citizens were and are unable to protect their interests, and this incapacity could only be covered by superior beings, called in ancient times wise, touched by the grace of the gods, in the Currently, these are social protection institutions, which, for example, protect the worker from himself, keeping and controlling social benefits, since if they receive it, they will not be able to manage it.
In closer cases, there is traditional banking, where not long ago, a specific surname was required, or the membership of a defined club, which would allow the foundation of a bank, taken to extremes in the form of banking associations and other , where they come to demand the incorporation of people with "trajectory" within the work team, because otherwise, there could be a disaster, since more nobody knows about that topic.

All these aberrations of the financial system, were those that the cryptocurrencies in their fundamental objective, wanted to abolish, to remove from the control of few the control of the personal finances of each and every one of us.
So much so, that as a fable or reality its founder disappears from the map once the birth of this new technology is consolidated.

But the customs of the past, seem to have remained, today, for each new venture is necessary to have a group of "experts" in the field. A group of self-anointed advisors in super beings, who for the few who have not tried to innovate in this area, will see that the cost is not low, at least we are talking about 5% of the company that will be in the hands of these people, which do not work for contribution to the technology, if not, they have a price, that if you do not cover it, it happens that the market will not accept you.
the projects are evaluated by the associated work team, it does not seem bad, but how many Ponzi schemes have been made in front of these supposed advisors, or those advisors did not share a cubicle with which today they talk about a speculative bubble, they are experts who are in favor, not against?


The market requires new methods of evaluation, more individual responsibility in the evaluation of projects and ICOs, we can not expect everything to be chewed and protected by a superior being to be held responsible for, we must be able to evaluate and assume our risks.

This new era requires us not to change the old actors for new ones that do the same game, and create the same club to which very few will be invited, unless they pay the membership, we can not just change one for another, we must change the scheme and assume total control of our decisions based on our evaluation, and not the evaluation of a third party, which sometimes does not even evaluate, only charges for it."


(I used Google translator 'cause I don't have much time, sorry for that)

Another good one in the Spanish board, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cuidado-con-ver-series-online-te-quieren-usar-para-minar-3514647
She's talking about cloud-mining with no consent and which kind of websites have this practice. Coinhive seems to be an enterprise dedicated to cloud mining in some websites. At the very moment you get into the site, they put immediately your computer into mining, making the computer suffer and stealing your computational power from you. There are some websites in which they ask for your permission, but, apparently, there are few.
in the post, she also explains how to discover the plugin by searching into the code. Maybe we should ask her to translate it, but, due her rank, I'm afraid she cannot post in here.

Good initiative, it is an honor for me to use my thread as an example, thank you.

Very nice initiative, and a good way to give visibility to underrated local board posts on the English sections. Let’s hope it goes as desired and proposed posts do indeed stick to meritable posts and not a churn of any kind of post.

P.D. In case you’re wondering on the "eye" google translation of Gothorum’s post, it’s a kind of "mind you".

What an awesome initiative, JC, I've made a post on the Spanish board as well asking the people to share those which they consider the better. I will try to translate some of my favorites, but, please, notice my English is far from being perfect.

This is one of the most awesome threads on the Spanish Section. Also, it has many useful quotes, so the entire thread worth reading. It was started by Gothorum and he added more and more information related to the regulations in Europe and Spain regarding crypto.
I will try to translate some of the best quotes, but they are many, so, if anyone is interested in working on it, there it goes: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/regulando-la-criptomoneda-en-espana-2859339

First post in a thread started by Gothorum - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-no-deberia-ser-utilizado-para-marcar-diferencias-sociales-3793866

People are increasingly interested in knowing the world of bitcoin, an example of this is that the number of conferences that are given is increasing, and not only that, but to the conferences more and more people attend, soon it is celebrated one in New York, under the title Consensus of CoinDesk, is expected to attend more than 4,000 people, and eye, as they publish, the entrance costs 2,000 dollars, so it will raise no less than 8 million dollars, obviously, nobody Pay an entry like this if you are not really interested.

The truth is that the price of the entry seems abusive, and against the basis of the cryptocurrency, I mean, that if this was created to eradicate a little social differences, now it turns out that these people take advantage of the pull to return to mark social differences. But it is that this event is not unique, there are scheduled 20 more at least and many of them with a price per ticket similar to this.

Eye, I think it's great that there are more and more conferences, that goes in favor of bitcoin, but is it really necessary to charge those prices?

Translated by Google as an example post - please do not use Google for your posts.
Note that I replaced the post title with a translation of the thread title.

I've read a lot of comments about the difficulties that non-English speakers have in gaining merits, so I'm starting this thread to give a few of them a chance to pick up some merits from posts they have made on their local language boards. In order to be considered, the post will need to have a sponsoring translator, and he will need to be a full member to post in this thread. Both the original post and the sponsoring post must comply with ALL of the rules in the sticky referring to posts in the Ivory Tower. The only exception is the rank requirement for the local language poster. This offer is open to all ranks, but, of course the sponsoring poster will need to be a full member to post here.

Note that posts in the Ivory Tower must be made in good English, and should not contain images or heavy formatting. Don't quote the foreign language post, but do include a link at the start of your post. You should also include the name of the OP, so that in the event that I decide the post is merit worthy, then I can award merit. Topics should be related to Bitcoin, or the use of crypto-currencies in global or national economies. They should also be unique, and not just personal interpretations of posts that can be found on the English language boards.

I'm going to start this off with a thread starting post from the Spanish board. I chose it because it had already been awarded a merit. I'm not a Spanish speaker, so I've used Google translate for this example - don't do this! Please translate the post into understandable English, and not Google speak.
