Re: Hard work doesn't guarantee success,but laziness certainly guarantee a failure.

.is it true that Hard work doesn't  guarantee success?

That was true when the world population was much smaller.  But today most resources/opportunity are stretched so even if you want to work hard, you may not be able to.    You can relocate to a country that takes care of citizens and you'll live longer but the overall trend is to steal from others.  Many US states don't even prosecute shoplifters anymore, and the average shoplifter gets caught on their 20th attempt.  Sad

Something really isn't right and I think the US have had plans to cover up this over the years.

Obviously - look at what the education system is producing.  Sad

If he dug up your information on the forum, I don't see any privacy violation. Didn't you register with this Twitter account in the bounty? Although I doubt there are people on the forum so naive that they registered with their real accounts or posted their photos. I knew a few, but now people have long deleted their information. Why did you wait for someone to post it here if it really bothers you?

Someone grabbing personal photos and posting them online is a privacy violation.  However, if you yourself upload pictures of yourself and your family online obviously is not such a violation.  Especially if you have scammed from hundreds of people - it could be argued that your real name is community knowledge.

Doxxing is releasing personal information.  It can include a person's full name, their location, their financial situation, their hobbies, their gender, etc.

Doxxing should only be allowed in the Investigations section, where it will not be indexed by search engines.

Is it worth coming back?

How's the spam been? The forum basically became virtually unusable at a certain point. The noise to signal ratio was 100:1 at best.

Also, remember that 'new forum' that was supposed to happen? Lol, did that idea die again? It can't be that hard to develop a forum Wink

Hey Chris!!  Long time buddy.  Smiley

The new forum was never going to happen - it was just laundry.

Help me understand the August jobs report
by
Vod
on 07/09/2025, 01:06:11 UTC
The US apparently added 22,000 jobs in August, which apparently is as low as the pandemic numbers.   They scream the economy is in trouble because so few jobs are added.   I agree with that.   But I don't understand where the economy gained so many?

All we hear nowadays are people being laid off or deported.   Students weren't looking for jobs in Aug.  I'm sure there is some number trickery in there I don't understand.    Undecided

Okay, I can partially agree with this new perspective of yours - that the thread can serve as an awareness thread for newbies to know different type of scams and avoid them. But for sure, I know this thread is not going to save anyone from being scammed.

If anything, casually maintained lists like this (one scammer!) can help someone get scammed when they don't see a particular name on that list.  Unless you want to stay on top of such a list and be prepared for many personal attacks, it's best not to create it.

Re: Is the US about to militarily attack Venezuela?
by
Vod
on 02/09/2025, 23:57:17 UTC
As a Venezuelan, I can assure you, nobody in this government would dare to attack the United States, even if it is retaliatory. This administration is composed by crooks who just want to be left alone so they can continue to steal as much money as possible from the people and co tinue to illegally exploit gold mines in the south of the country, that is all.

The crooks who illegally hold the power in this country do not have an ideology, they just want to continue to have access to our good mines and also continue to traffick with cocaine, and accumulate more dirty money.

The ruling party of the country is called "Socialist" but they are all just crooks and thieves, violators of human rights, who do not struggle when comes to torture their policial adversaries until pushing them to commit suicide. That is the kind of people is holding us hostage here.

The US has started - killing 11 people in a boat.   Hopefully this will lead to a quick regime change without much loss of life.  Smiley

Anyways, if he is on blood thinners he should get careful on the side effect of those pills, as they seem to have some negative long term effects on the brain the the nervous system as a whole.

I've been on blood thinners since 1983.  Blood thinners themselves don’t directly cause brain or nervous system damage, but their main long-term risk is bleeding in or around the brain/spinal cord.  Someone reading that may have jumped to the conclusion it affects the brain or nervous system and wrote that and rumors spread.... but it's not true.  Smiley

Re: Prestige system to bitcointalk

... after becoming Legendary, there is not much more to achieve. And it is usually a good idea, to start from Newbie again, and to build the whole reputation from scratch. Maybe all Legendary accounts should have "make me newbie" button, to solve it?

May be do it like cod prestige system: You reach leggy >> you can make yourself newbie again >> you get this badge that represents you have reached leggy once >> you reach leggy again >> you get this second badge to represent you have reached leggy twice — these badges must look prestigious and must show their significance.
[/quote]

I kind of like this idea - it would give Legendary members something to work through again.   But merit cannot be considered a vehicle for such a journey.  There is no way somewith 10K merit has made 7,000 more meritable posts than I have.  It's become political.  :/

Vod knows (or learns now) that I like their posting style, habits and behaviour. But, I generally tend to dislike health related topics, because I consider health an absolutely private matter.

Privacy is not something a US President has, but I hear you  :/

I am sure Trump is fine, he has the very best medical care in the world.

One thing medicine cannot yet fix is time for the body to recover.   Trump can have a multitude of ailments that we have a cure/treatment for, but if one hits him when his body is still recovering from a previous ailment, it might cause too much stress for his organs.     You see it everyday - healthy older person gets a minor issue and goes to hospital.   Then the treatment weakens his immune system and he gets pneumonia.   That causes the heart to stress delivering oxygen.   Doctors can treat each of these issues - just not all at once.

Yes, it's true. I've met @Rmcdermott927 plenty of times in the past, and can say for certain that he and OG are not the same person. That's a fact. 

Yes, we sorted that out a couple months ago.    The speed at which they communicate made it appear they were the same person. 

Since Rmc cannot understand my big boy words (validate my stupidity), maybe you can explain to him why taking money for something you are not providing is a scam.    He seems to have learned nothing from Quickseller.  :/

^ Why are people in this community ok with this behavior?  All the things being complained about here and we are just as a group going to overlook that Rmcdermott927 has effectively been bullied for years from participating in this community by a liar who makes constant false accusations and has never supported anyone here?  Be careful what items you buy, you never know when you'll be relentlessly attacked for it and know that nobody (except me apparently) will stand up for you.

^ Are you being honest when you tell people I'm on ignore?   You've yet to produce a single lie I have ever made.  Sad  Eventually your money is going to run out with all this libel.  :/

I send Rmcdermott927 a PM - you reply on the forum seconds later regarding the PM.   And then there is this from buckrogers:

Quote
I'm only saying that, As I had a similar situation which happened to me when I was chatting with RMC on a different Slack group (the Nastyfans slack group), and I asked him "do you know why OG booted me from that group?"  and he replied to me instead of OG with something along the lines of "he's asking me why you kicked him from the group" lol, and I said huh? What are you talking about? He said (paraphrasing) "oops, sorry that wasn't meant for you, my bad."

If OgNasty is acting as escrow for a deal involving Rmcdermott927 while communicating with him real time, aren't they both stealing from the one paying the escrow fee?   There is no protection and when issues arise with OG as an escrow he often keeps the money.

I have a problem with people like Rmcdermott927 and Bayareacoins who pretend to be friendly just to phish for information on me.    Even though he may regret getting into bed with you, I don't see him denying it.

Millions of people were disappointed Saturday morning when Donald Trump re-emerged, but were given hope by how unhealthy he looked.   He is golfing today (which is a form of low stress exercise for heart patients) while his policies push India towards China.    Trump, non religious, is making comments about wanting to get into heaven while Vance is bragging about how ready he is to take over.

Re: SEARCHING FOR DEVS/INVESTORS
by
Vod
on 01/09/2025, 17:18:25 UTC
Just to clarify myself. I don't search after paid devs or freelancers. I have used paid devs and had really bad experience with this. Unfinished projects, disappearing, scamming money etc. What I need is partners to make projects done. Investors are needed for servers and for nodes but this is not needed before projects are done. I don't need money in my hands and investors money could stay in escrow always. What I need is ambitious developers who are not after get rich fast but building an ecosystem of multiple services based in finance, properties, tokenization and blockchain. 

Ok, then show examples of your past work.   Seperate yourself from the hundreds of others who offer what you do and are recognized here.  "Confidential projects" usually means you have no experience you can prove.
