As the title says....

This is probably the first time I logged in without clicking any captchas. I didn't even see a box.

In relation to admin calling for mods to be active, I just want to ask how many reports does moderators/president/admin receives from forum members? Nothing specific, just average per week/month will do. 

I'm really disappointed that there are still a lot of members (including higher ranks) who are so lazy to construct their own opinion and just copy-paste from other sources and claiming it as their own. Plagiarism simply defeats the purpose of the forum to have a genuine discussion among members.

Personally, I wanted them to be banned in the forum after getting two warnings but the admin has another thing in mind staying true to the idea that Altcoinstalks is a friendly forum.

The current set up is like this:
1st warning - Strike 1
2nd warning - Strike 2
After receiving two strikes, admin will remove it in exchange of 10,000 - 30,000 points. Aside from that, plagiarists will also get -karma from admin and responsible members.

I guess that also means they can violate the plagiarism rule over again if they have enough points to cover the penalty.
What would happen to 3rd time (or more) offenders who has less than 10K points? Is the 1 to 3 rank demotion still in effect or they simply get negative points?

I suggested in the "Report Plagiarism" thread that offenders with 2 strikes should get an additional one week to one month (or more) signature ban on top of removing points. Most of them don't care about the points anyway but they would be more concerned if they're removed from their campaign for being unable to wear signature. This is also a good counter-measure to plagiarists who has "friends" that offsets the negative karma given to them for copy-paste offense.

What do you think? It's still a lenient rule (if adopted) if you ask me.

Like what the title says, I get this error everytime I try

An Error Has Occurred!

Unable to verify referring url. Please go back and try again.

I'm not sure if this was due to the adjustments I made in the browser's settings.
Anyone having the same error?

Fees from different exchanges vary. You may find some of them too high and it is better if you can find other platforms that offers smaller withdrawal fees. I found this platform and though of sharing it to everyone. Some veterans in the space might know this already but I'm quite sure many beginners haven't seen this yet.

At the moment, it covers 1823 coins in 73 exchanges.

Here's the website:
https://withdrawalfees.com/
You can customize per coin

• https://withdrawalfees.com/coins/bitcoin
• https://withdrawalfees.com/coins/ethereum
• https://withdrawalfees.com/coins/xrp
• https://withdrawalfees.com/coins/litecoin

(I've already posted a similar topic in another forum)

Yes, you read the title correctly. It appears that they (Litecoin Foundation) lost a lot of money from the bear market that they can no longer sustain further development without donation. This time, the founder is following what BCH did which is to ask miners for donation. The difference, however, is that Litecoin miners won't be forced to donate which I think is good.

When you read something like this, you have question how this will affect the network's decentralization? Mining should be voluntary and miners shouldn't be asked for donations.

Like what the title suggests, Ethereum developers are "quite" confident but cannot give any assurance of the actual date to launch. One developer is certain that the phase 0 will be launched this year though.

Phase 0 will certainly launch in 2020. Audits are out and testnets are getting stronger every week,” Ryan said in the discussion thread. “I don't see a reality in which Phase 0 does not launch in 2020.

For the reason of the further delay, the team has this to say during their reddit AMA

the network won’t launch until three clients can run testnets consistently for a minimum of eight weeks

Regardless of the dates, we can safely say that the team is getting closer and closer. I think that's the most important right now. I'm pretty sure some will be disappointed but many will still be pleased at how the team is making sure they got everything tested before finally launching.

Seeing how some are interested in earning extra income from platforms other than bitcointalk, naisipan ko lang din i-post ang mga platforms na alam kong pwede pagkakitaan. Kung may idle time ka naman at may tyaga ka, pwede na din ang mga ito.

Bago natin simulan, paglilinaw lang muna sa mga terms dito:

• Gig Economy - Dito kabilang yung mga freelancers at iba pang independent professionals. Yung trabaho ay usually short-term at flexible ang oras.
  Para sa dagdag na detalye, basa --> https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/gig-economy.asp
• Gig Workers - independent contractors, online platform workers, contract firm workers, on-call workers and temporary workers. Gig workers enter into formal agreements with on-demand companies, for example Uber, TaskRabbit, to provide services to the company's clients. source

Base sa definition, masasabi natin na pati tayo na kumikita ng extra dito sa forum at sa iba pang online platforms ay mga gig workers din. Ngayong malinaw na, simulan na natin ang mga iba pang online platforms na pwedeng pagkakitaan.
