Topic: Up to .2 Bounty **** Sanity Check**** - page 3. (Read 2394 times)

you are a gambler so like action

Oh darn! It was supposed to say 'not' a contribution, my b!

You're warm! Hopefully since you discovered this you'll be able to finish before someone else takes it.

You actually took BOTH of these out of context, but I'm glad you dug up the second part.   Here's your chance to get .03BTC and redeem yourself. A bonus inquiry is also part of this thread. But unfortunately you're thought process is somewhat skewed for this task and you over looked it. So now you and everyone else knows where to find 1 out of the 5 bonus items. Get all of them - you'll be awarded .05!

Ok, back to where you can find free coins -
First, I'm not confused. I hope you know that I'm not really an idiot, nor do I think of myself as such. I was being facetious in both of these posts. Sorry it went over your head. The first post has some significance (overall). Your takeaway from that post should've been that I must be pretty damn confident in my intelligence level to call myself an idiot on a public forum. If* you change your perspective from me being an idiot, to actually having a broad knowledge base, you can succeed here.

Clarification for everyone since you messed this up:

NOT ME:
"Epic confusion.
A 51% attack is then the attacker blockchain voluntarily ignore every other blocks. An honest 51% holder would accept the blocks found by other people."

ME:
"Well I'm sure as hell confused now if I weren't before. Are you talking about a blockchain fork, pseudo blockchains and such? No... wait, that can be done if the powerhouse pool wanted to do such a thing... but just to make sure I understand.... you're saying that if the pool with the majority of computing power is honest, it will accept other pools' blocks? Forgive my confusion... I just don't understand what this has to do with the price of rice in China."

Again, totally NOT confused. Perhaps you'll be somewhat impressed. To clarify what occurred in that part of the thread - that person attempted to insult my intelligence. The end result was the other way around - I made him look confused, because he was. Not me. Do outside research if you must, to get an understanding of forking, pseduo blockchains, and 51% attacks. You'll miss it if you don't understand these concepts.

Everything I stated in that post was deliberate. When you read the thread, you'll see how my response to him is actually offensive (yet playful). This isn't even the post that I actually called him out on; when you read that part, you'll probably laugh.

Good luck!

I was just making a joke.     Why would you make my ignore list?  What did you do?

All right here goes nothing. First of all, please don't take offense to anything I'm saying. These are merely observations combining my experience communicating in a work environment, on this thread, and in life. 

#1 Look at the above sentence. How does it sit with you? What do you perceive to be my tone? Being more specific, what does the smiley face emoticon accomplish? How would the tone change without it? These are questions worth considering because you use a lot of smiley faces. The problem is, you seem to use them in every scenario. When you're critiquing someone, it may come off as coy, sly, and usually has a hint of condescension. Or, the reader simply won't know what to make of it. In my opinion, smiley face emoticons are some of the most ambiguous, frustrating, and frankly annoying ways that people try to communicate their feelings. I only use smiley faces when communicating with my wife. When I receive them from coworkers, I see it as unprofessional. When they are used frequently, I tend to think that the person using them is too insecure to be direct.

#2 Expectations. You're overall tone is professional. This is good because I'm assuming that you're moneymaker job is handling court cases and not responding to users on a bitcoin forum. It's also something that people don't really expect to see in a thread. It's a politeness that is largely absent wherever identities are unknown. When users see this type of communication in an environment where flame wars occur everyday and trolls abound, they're not sure what to make of it. It may come across as fake or again, condescending because of their expectations for how people communicate. I'm sure you don't mean to do this, and I wouldn't take this to the bank, but it's worth thinking about what type of user is on this thread and what they're expectations are for communicating.

Personally, I think you are a good communicator. I think if you went easy on the smileys people would respect you more. Also, I think you could be more direct when the situation calls for it.

Hello Vod. I'm a little surprised you navigated this way; thought I made your ignore list. But even if so, no insult taken. I'm used to not having many willing to challenge me.

But thank you for capturing this   I totally consider this a gift (I'm sure the opposite of your intentions). Actually... isn't 6 considered the perfect number? Interesting. You know, sometimes I wonder what's the alternative motive (if there is one) behind some of your posts. Conversations I've held with people of few words are sometimes more enlightening than most. I suppose because 'quite' people don't spend a lot of time running at the mouth, they actually have more time to reflect. But oh boy, when they decide open their mouth. They could blow your mind.

your also an avid poker player witch could add to the crazyness. atleast you like action and swings so ya

lol so it was a contribution

lol, aren't we all?   Sorry, a contribution but it could be the start.    I'm surprised you snagged that comment; it was embedded deep between the novels I feel compelled to write sometimes. Heck, people who's followed me around a time or two still thinks I'm a guy. I'm sure an even bigger surprise to find out I'm black.

This post is very clear since:

• You had good use of bullet points
• The post was long, but still easy to read
• Good job, I like bullet points  
• A lovely string of b.points here too.

Thank you

edit:
This one

might be easier to read if you had used some bullet points in the long first section.

And I have to say your posts are quite entertaining, it feels like reading a joyful version of William S. Burrough

I believe you give too much importance to what others think. This is an online forum, of course you'll come across hordes of stubborn egomaniacs who won't try to begin to understand what you have to say.

Your writing style shows you have a lot of manic creativity, and that's certainly not a bad thing! To others it may seem like a lack of sanity, but I think it's the opposite: its the expression of a higher level of life. As long as you're able to never lose sight of pure reason, like you seem to do well, I don't believe there's any problem.

Thanks

Well done. You captured the essence that tone is for the benefit of the reader. I get a sense you appreciate higher level thinking so I have confidence the first bounty is yours Just one inquiry:

A common reason tone is used in text is to enhance the message for the purpose of further engaging the audience. I think it gives a sense of personalization to the reader, of course with the caveat that everyone's perception is different. But that's not a bad thing, we're individuals after all. I'm curious though... why is it strange? It's versatile (like real life), I presume effective for those who can appreciate. There's got to be more to it than the typical nerd stereotype shenanigans we're all familiar with. Surely we nerds are smart enough to realize this, right? Or do I need to find a forum for intellectuals?

Please respond with your thoughts and bitcoin address

Well evidently you're an idiot


And you seem to get confused a lot

But after taking everything into consideration, I would say you are has sane as the next person on here...

I found the reason.

Your posts are on topic and make sense when you respond. Good use of quotes, and replying, it helps the context.

The tone of voice behind your words is strange. It's lighthearted, sarcastic, and serious. It's funny to read how you react to things, maybe even too seriously at times. It's alright though, the internet needs you.

Here are some examples:

this thread is crazy

I sifted through a few pages of your posts:

This is a VERY Diverse forum different levels of education, different backgrounds, beliefs and cultures, as well as many different countries and language barriers and translations.

You combine that with the following:  Internet forums consist of internet bad asses, people correcting grammar, people that just like to fight, people with different points of view, people that logic escapes them, etc.

You are entitled to your opinions and can post however you feel like, but will always have people nit picking and arguing because at the end of the day you are on the internet and people express their opinions that might not agree with yours or they think they can do whatever they want hiding behind a computer screen.

You're/Your reading too much into people questioning what you post on the internet!!!!!!!!!!!! <-------
