I was able to get a V NFT after buying a random one 19 x.

Question: if I buy a random NFT for 50 BTC they is listed for more than 50BTC, who covers the difference? Does the seller get screwed out of the difference? Or does the forum cover the difference?

Thats too bad. Not gonna lie, that girl is hot.

If that girl actually came to the forum, she could probably get a lot of merit. Just look at how much alia got from pretending to be a girl in only two months.

This was not the first time someone has done this.

It will never get old though.

There are a lot[\b] of people that have no business being on DT2. A decent amount of people are on DT1 that should be there either.

I predict we Will see much more curruption and those with power will continue to get away with stealing from others, extorting others, and similar.

Bitfinex has been tailoring their operations over the past year and a half or so to appeal to institutions, and apparently have attracted a decent number of institutional customers. Also, if you believe their published orderbook, their BTC/fiat orderbook is by far the most liquid among exchanges. Bitfinex also has an OTC trading desk that apparently has been fairly successful (when a trader buys BTC via OTC from bitfinex, then the OTC trading desk will be effectively short BTC [at an above market basis], and will need to buy BTC to cover their position).

With the above being said (using made up numbers), if someone wanted to 5000 BTC at no more than 102% of the current trading price, they might be able to buy up 4000 BTC on the bitfinex orderbook at that price, but if the orderbook of poloniex and bittrex are also used, they might be able to buy the entire 5000 BTC they want. This could be done by an institutional trader, or by bitfinex themselves to cover an effective short position caused by an OTC trade.

Unfortunately, I am unable to account for the month end price decline issue. Maybe this is noise, maybe there is some other explanation, or maybe the authors are right. I would tend to think this is probably noise.  


Bitmex published a research report on tether this past February in which they found a bank in Puerto Rico they believe is likely holding the USD deposits of tether and bitfinex, as according to publicly available data (that I believe is not available in real time), had USD deposits grow at rates above the growth of USDT in circulation.

Further, tether has shown what is nearly proof of funds in the amount of ~$442 million as of September 2017, which exceeded the amount of USDT in circulation at the time.

The late months of Mt Gox showed what happens when customers are unable to withdraw USD from an exchange -- the price trades at a premium to other exchanges. Gox customers would deposit BTC into their Gox account, sell their BTC, request a USD withdrawal, and eventually cancel their USD withdrawal use that USD to purchase BTC to withdraw and eventually deposit and sell on another exchange. In the case of bitfinex, the USD price of BTC is almost always the same (for all intents and purposes -- it is generally within 30 basis points) of other major exchanges.

Do you have any recommendations where I can purchase a thermos created by theymos?

I went to www.theymos.com but cannot find anything listed for sale.

It is for testing of the new forum software.

Have you tried calculating your fMerit score with the below formula?


This is exactly why you fMerit score is what it is.

Hi Sir,

Please see this thread.

You can make a topic here asking to dispute the original ban. If you can make sufficiently strong arguments, you ban may be lifted. If your account has been banned many months ago, an admin might tell you can create a new account without it being ban evasion, but your old account will not be unbanned (to allow you to participate in bitcoin related discussions).

I don't know why you are bumping this thread two and a half years after it was created and it was shown that you cut off communications after the topic of using escrow was broached.

You actually need to be a member in order to see the investigations sub. reference.

nLockTime is specific to the subject transaction. This means if you sign a transaction with an nLockTime, that transaction cannot confirm in a block prior to that constraint.

OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY on the other hand, restrict outputs of a transaction from being spent prior to a certain constraint. There are very different use cases for OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY than for nLockTime. If a customer is withdrawing funds from a service, there is no real reason why the service would want to restrict the customer from spending their withdrawal anything other than immediately.

As mentioned above, OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY will be used with LN and other similar payment channels. It is likely that OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY was soft-forked into Bitcoin with LN/payments channels in mind.

More lenders should do this. There have been a lot of instances of lenders using the same repayment address for everyone that makes it very difficult to confirm if any given loan has actually been repaid or not. This is especially important when collateral is involved because collateral needs to be returned when a loan is repaid.

The issue is not even necessarily about tricking members into clicking on his links. When links are posted around here, the google search results rankings will improve because of the large number of other sites that link back to bitcointalk.org. So when this guy's links are spammed around here, his search result rankings will improve, and they will improve for search terms associated with the titles of the threads he spams his links in.

These posts are not adding any real value to the discussions, and is little more than back-link spam.

I don't see why you think you can act the way you do (same for the others), and that anyone would want to give credence to what your opinion is. Maybe because you think some people agree with you sometimes?

This might be crazy, but maybe you were excluded because of your behavior and apparent criteria to leave trust ratings.

Kind Regards

I don't follow your logic.

When TC was last active there would be actual discussions about ratings when they were disputed, verses the cat memes posted today.

I think Vod has a picture of QS on his nightstand that he looks at before he goes to bed every night.
