Welcome, try to give less details about your personal life because you want to learn and not start an activity or something that needs to reveal your identity, and since you do not remember the username, can you remember the events related to Bitcoin during the year 2016? It will be interesting to listen to your stories because you know things that most of us do not know.

Oh sorry about it mate.

Well way back 2016 I can recall that the price of bitcoin that time is around below $450 (not our main currency just converted it from where am I), I did buy Bitcoin way back on time from our local wallet/exchange just to invest HYIP and Ponzi scams  Cry , I do also earn it by creating some logos and micro task coming from my online friends and they are paying me in Bitcoin(roughly $20 ) well that's too big that time as I am coming from poor family. Then that is the time I can recall that there are no merit system here in the forum , and also the era of Bounties raises(new tokens coming out and this is the time of ICO) which I can recall that I've joined some of it, this is where Bitcointalk having problems with spammers and shit posters(I admit this) and plagiarism which lot of higher ranks saying some suggestions to prevent it and the merit system was push through , that is the time I think I was gone from this forum. I can remember yahoo62278 is the best signature campaign manager before that I've known as most of the Bitcoin signature campaigns is he is the one managing it. There are a lot of giveaways of Collectible tokens before that the members here giving away and what's best is that they shoulder the expenses on shipping. Also unlike this year that a lot of exchanges closes before most of the exchanges are legit I mean we don't have issues that they go bankrupt and one of the famous exchange before is Bittrex (it is not the same UI now than before).

I forgot other events happened here in the forum before but I'll edit this if  I can recall more  Grin

Oh, also I forgot that every April Fool's Day (1st of April) Theymos is doing some kind of trolling before. I just can't recall it, but Theymos is posting that if you do not achieve those required posts, your account will be deleted. I am not really sure if the merit system was also kind of done as a trolling before.

Re: A concise 2FA/TOTP implementation (SMF patch)

More and more of my internet accounts require 2FA nowadays, and most of them don't allow me to turn it off. It's mainly needed because of the people who don't use proper passwords, share them everywhere, and have a system filled with malware. Those same websites nowadays run a timer to kick you out after a few minutes of inactivity, which makes it even more annoying. To me, 2FA is just a hassle. I have old Gmail accounts that don't let me login with my password anymore.
This makes me truely appreciate the old fashed forums that just keep me logged in for years. A browser cookie is very convenient.

That being said: as long as it's optional, I'm not against it. But would it really help if someone gains physical access to my mobile phone? I don't want to lose the convenience of being logged in when I use it.



Google Authenticator just told me I can now backup my 2FA codes in the cloud. Lol.

Permission to respond on this


I also want the old-school one because last year I had this issue with Bittrex where I needed to login to that exchange, which it won't allow me because it is asking for 2FA in Google Authenticator that was installed on my old phone that was lost a few years ago. I don't have a choice but to submit a KYC to them, and you know the hassle of it as it takes days to get approved, and then they will be locking your account for another day because youve changed your password.

I rarely use 2FA now, but I do make my password secure, as it is a hassle, just like logging in to Google, where there are a lot of things to do and I want them done fast.

Hello and welcome back to the forum! We are delighted to have you back, even though you did not reveal your previous account, and you are quite welcome. I hope you learn a lot now about Bitcoin as you wanted.

PS : I've read already the Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQand I am aware on this.
18. Having multiple accounts and account sales are allowed, but account sales are discouraged.

I'm delighted you're aware of the forum's regulations; there's no need for me to provide you with links and tips on how to use this forum. I hope you are aware that plagiarism is a serious offense and should be avoided.

Thank you, mate! Yes, I am really aware of those plagiarism issues. I've seen a lot of new accounts posting in Meta asking moderators to lift the bans on their accounts. I also recently saw someone asking mods to lift the ban on his account as he is using his "uncle's account", but it still turns out he is eating his own shit and discovered that it is his alts.


Welcome back mate, it is nice that you decided to come back here after a very long time to learn again. You are not new and I believe you understand the forum better than every other newbies even though you are using a new account. You should take your time to enjoy the forum and make positive contributions to the forum so that other forum members can also learn from you since you are an OG in the forum. I hope you have decided to spend more time and get committed to the forum this time and you wouldn't go for long anymore.

I can't promise mate, as we don't know how busy I will be when my baby is born, but let's see, as I want to learn more, I probably won't be that frequent in visiting this forum when I am too busy, but I do make sure that I visit it at least twice a month or more. Thank you mate!

Reintroduce myself and anonymously reading in the forum

Good day, everyone!

I wanted to reintroduce myself to this forum because I used to be a member here around 2016 or 2017. Back then, I was a fresh graduate and stumbled upon this forum through a link on social media that talked about altcoins.

As my life became more busy, I took a break from the forum to focus on my girlfriend (who is now my wife, and we have an upcoming child) and my work. I didn't return to this forum until last year, in 2022. I started lurking again, trying to remember my old username and password (I tried using BPIP, but had no luck).I really don’t have intention of creating a new account as I just wanted to read and learn, as I had been doing in other non-crypto forums. Like I frequently visited ForexStation to learn about trading strategies and indicators in the Forex market.

However, recently, I've felt a strong desire to create a new account here. The reason behind this is the Pizza Bake Off contest. I have a homemade pizza that I'd love to share, but I was hesitant due to the issue of some users farming merits by posting their pizzas and others claiming they're not "proper" pizzas. Personally, as long as a pizza has the basic ingredients it should be considered a pizza.

I've come across various interesting threads. I remember reading about icopress asking for donations for Ukraine, The Pharmacist's request to change his username to The Sceptical Chymist, and the major news about exchanges (such as FTX) that Theymos posted in the announcements, advising users not to keep funds in online accounts. I also support the idea of having a Twitter account for updates, especially since the forum experienced a temporary shutdown for a couple of hours. Lastly, the image problem here in the forum is something that caught my attention.

In regard to my old account, even if I recover or remember the details, I have no plans to use it for personal reasons. I also hope to become an active contributor to this forum in the future, but for the time being, my main goal is to continue learning and reading about Bitcoin and altcoins. I'm starting to save money now because I want to buy Bitcoin in preparation for the halving next year, and I also want to save some for the future of my upcoming child.

Thank you for spending time reading my post. See you around!

Round 2

4. Bearish market
Rount #2 End.


Note : As a result of breaking the rules, numbers 2, 5, 7 were not accepted even after giving correct answers. Reposting this answer will not be counted. So there are only 4 number words left in the 3rd round.
I want to win the game, what are the 4 numbers that left for the Round 3, I think its proper to fish them out

The only remaining pal is #4 . as 1,3,7 has been answered. and 2,5,6 has been answered also but it wasnt count due to violating the rules

Round#3 is live

4. _ _ o _ _ s _ _ _a _        (one words, 11 letters)
