I really don't know how someone could make a mistake like that. I mean the chances of you accidentally writing the same content as someone else, word-for-word, are just so small.
This reads as something you'd find in /r/thathappened to be honest. Without any concrete example of what you wrote, it really hard to believe you on this.

I mean if you just think logically about it, who writes a post and then consciously thinks about checking whether it's been written before, using the exact same words and structure?

Yet it happened, yet I did it. We're talking about today. It has probably happened many times to me in the past. It has probably happened to many other people as well. You don't read a lot, do you?

Most people don't plagiarize, because they're just decent persons, so I'd highly recommend not giving any free-passes to those who do plagiarize.

It's a soap-opera-like discussion forum, I'm not submitting a dissertation for crying out loud. How do I de-merit this thread to oblivion?

Gee, thanks :-/ I was obviously talking about the conscious act of copying someone's work and passing it off as your own. Yes, if you do that, you're a shit person. I stand by what I said there.

Absolute e-warior bullshit. Nobody in the real world strongly cares about that unless we're talking about published/for-profit work. Focusing on such nonsense is why people remain with narrow-minded. Miss me with your virtue signalling bullshit. It is a acceptable mistake especially when it is done once or even very very rarely.

I agree with this.

Seriously shut up. The average narrow minded Joe doesn't have this problem, and I assume you are one. I'll be damned if I haven't passed off someone elses statements as my own thinking they are my own while destroying the block-size bullshit.

We are not talking about word-for-word plagiarism. We are talking about any kind of plagiarism. An unsourced paraphrase of someone's statement is plagiarism. If you don't believe this can happen by mistake, then you truly are a delusional idiot. If I am resorting to such strong words, then you may be assured how stupid your thread is.

So what safeguard from a person looking to hurt someone from doing this to an old post

I have never used Coinbase for buying BTC. What kind of upcharge do they have?

good prices if they sell the coins to you. my order was canceled 1 hour before they were to pay it. which means my 286 usd was frozen for 8 days. 4 of which were in the hands of coin base. funny thing is they saved me money my price was just before the big drop. I was locked in for 92 usd a coin. the coins were to be monday the 8th of july. they were ordered june 29th.

it was my first purchase ever, but i had used them for sale of coins more then 12 times. I was pissed they canceled but I used bit instant and got the coins at a better price. I do not understand why they would cancel a sale at 92 btc a coin when the current price was 77 or 78 a coin. I asked and was told i was high risk sale . So I was polite and put in a new order which should be this monday. the money for the coins is at 80 not 92 so to me they do not make a lot of sense.

Thanks for the review. That's helpful. But what do they charge per coin that you purchase? A precentage, a flat rate??

93.74 usd at 12:50 am eastern standard time is the base

1% fee is 94 cents

15 cent bank fee flat does not change.

so 1% plus 15 cents over the base.

the base is close to mtgox. right now 94.51 coinbase vs 95.01 mtgox

I went back to an old post and cut and pasted the bold so it now looks like my cut and paste is original and Lauda's is a copy.
