Mixers Board

[dkbit98]

I agree, there are already too many sections and boards on this forum. There is no need to create a new one for a specific type of service. Mixers fit best in Bitcoin services.

Exactly, that is why I said that adding another board could only create more confusion, we still have them a lot more than I would like to see.
I am not against having separate board or sub-board for Mixers and Privacy talk, but let's not spread attention in to many boards, better group them in one section that already exists.

i've read the thread in the BTT. i guess  Theymos is being pressured?

its gonna be a big problem for him if he isn't going to do something though. if government is up to get you, you'll be battling in an uphill battle.  rich individual who is friend of someone from the high places like CZ were brought to court, people will understand that Theymos has avoid anything that gets him tangled with the law otherwise the forum will be compromised.

We never know the truth. Theymos denied it when some members asked him in a public thread. It is possible that he can hide the real information. But, I don't think that he has been pressured. This is not too big a thing for the government to think about the forum. The forum was never directly involved with mixers. Mixers were only advertised and nothing else.

Have you seen what the Altcoinstalks admin said about the mixers? He does not care about the possible threats. I don't think he is from the US. We don't know the future.

we'll never know. hope Theymos is safe.
the government will always have the grip on someone with huge influence. twitter is just social media platform but the government tried to use twitter to censor those who speaks though.

if altcoinstalk admin isn't from US then i guess he is a safer. can't remember where the document that i have seen before which the government was already looking into BTT. they mentioned the forum and the tornado cash in that document so maybe they are monitoring the activity.

Bitcointalk should not be an arm of the US government. If there are restrictions by a government, then you don't do business in that country.
Just imagine what Bitcointalk would look like if it were to adapt to Chinese laws and censorship, of course, it would move to some friendlier territory.

The idea of a mixers board is definitely good and promising but it's not time for that yet. ANN section is one of the most close to the top so crypto projects can be easily found when they open their representing topics. Mixer projects also present in this important section and are visible their enough. Until this section will become really overcrowd there's no need in separating one projects from another. But we definitely will mark this idea in the memory. It is good.

Mixers topics ideas are limited, but for privacy they seem broader. We can think about how to use Blinded Bearer certificates, Zero-knowledge proofs, Mimblewimble, and others. I doubt the number of topics or the nature of the discussions will find interest, as the majority will not be interested in discussing these things.

We still have some sections which are not very popular, so making new sections is not a thing we should hurry with. Some of the privacy topics can be discussed in the Technical Discussion, some in Cryptocurrency discussions, few others in General Discussion. If there will be the really huge activity on this topic with many many dozens of active threads we can rethink it again, right?

When you are already present in the discussion about arranging the boards, why, for example, do we have multiple childboards that lead to the same section? For example
"Altcoins Talks - Cryptocurrency Forum  »Marketplace »Marketplace & Bitcoin Services »Bitcoin Services & Altcoins Services" leads to https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=500.0
and also
"Earnings »Signature Campaigns" go to the same section.
Isn't that creating unnecessary noise and making it difficult ^{time wasting} to use the forum?

These subsections can logically be placed in different global boards or main sections, so when searching in a correct board and not finding some can despair and decide that there's no such topic at all. So for some sections there is an additional redirection in other most expected places.

For the user experience, this is a terrible solution. Going through the forum regularly, I see the same things over and over again. It seems quite illogical to me.
Maybe these would be negligible things if we had the possibility of ignoring/hiding certain boards or child boards.

We, users of the forum should not be victims of better SEO and adaptation for search engines.

It's not for SEO, it's for users, so they can find a section in the place it can be expected. You can make a topic for this issue and propose to cut the redirection links you don't like. If many other users will agree with your view on this, I'm sure admin will take it into account.

[admin]

redirection subsections are to make it easy for users to find some stuff, so i don't have to repeat over and over where they should go or post

[admin]

a lot of users do not take the time to know the different sections, they want to post where they see fit, these redirections help resolve the issue a bit

I think there are too many boards which are basically the same. For example:



And there are many boards inside those. Do we really need a Ripple board and a ripple news board? A BAT forum (this should be inside ethereum>erc20 imo)

I don't even think those SEO techniques are effective. It is quite the opposite IMO.

SEO techniques, when implemented correctly, they improve user experience, not the opposite. I see that in websites  I have worked.

I don't think Theymos has any plan to move anywhere anytime soon if the US does not have Bitcoin (which will never happen). I didn't even know if Theymos was from the US, but it seems he is. His only target is to run the forum as long as possible and avoid every single risk of being seized. He does not really care about what we think about him or about the forum.

It is true that some of us see the forum as a money-making machine, while the admin has a completely different point of view. So, they are not going to hear our suggestions when it comes to risking the forum. What if they transfer the control to Cyrus, who is from Romania?

As far as I know  he is the domain admin. While theymos is the forum admin
