Report Plagiarism

[Freemind]

And what these strikes actually mean? I mean, do they end up getting banned if they receive enough strikes?

When a user receives the 3rd strike, their posts are automatically moderated and monitored, so they are not completely free to post on the forum until a moderator or administrator approves them, which can take a long time or if it is spam, plagiarism and similar things, the post will never be published and the user will have more penalties and finally the user could enter the Under Review group.

Advances in quantum computing pose a potential threat to the security of the Bitcoin blockchain. Especially because of its ability to break widely used cryptographic algorithms. There is a risk of compromise in the current encryption methods we commonly use to protect Bitcoin transactions. I think one of the highest efforts in the cryptocurrency community needs to be on developing quantum resistant cryptographic algorithms. Because our private keys can be vulnerable to quantum attacks.

Now My Question
What impact could advances in quantum computing have on the security and integrity of the Bitcoin blockchain? Moreover, what efforts need to be made within the crypto community to address potential vulnerabilities ?

To his credit, TOYMAN did include a link to the source of his post, but I asked here and apparently, the consensus is that it still falls under plagiarism.
But since he didn't claim to be an author (by including the link) a warning from Admin should be enough.

In this case, as in the previous one I reported, I see it already has negative karma (one from me).

At first glance it might seem that he is giving credit for the source, as it starts with 'According to data compiled by CryptoQuant', but no, it is a copy-paste of an article by someone else, who is the one who has read CryptoQuant's data and is giving them credit for it.

@Don Pedro Dinero thanks once again for your help. @NancyDeep has a warning, negative karma and his 1st strike.

cryptoworld1 is a systematic plagiarist. I think he earned a plagiarist badge already.

Looks unlikely…

With Ethereum 2.0 on its way, ETH’s price will only grow, which would create interest in a lot of new traders. And that means, ETH will grow along with Solana in the coming year.

Mainly, the gap between the price and the market cap it too high. ETH has a market capitalization of 342 Billion dollars, while Solana is only at 38 Billion. ETH is roughly 9 times bigger than Solana.

Granted, the Solana project has more uses in the growing crypto market than ETH does, but still, its going to take a hell of a lot. Time matters just as much as anything when it comes to cryptocurrency, look at Bitcoin, its the first ever crypto and its absolutely massive than Ethereum. And ETH has a 3 year head start on Solana.

Solana is an innovative project, much more radical that ETH, I can give you that. The technology developed behind it functions on the idea of DeFi, not to mention it facilitates the creation of new DApps, so it attracts entrepreneurs and investors and traders alike.

Even so, its unlikely that Solana will ever overtake Ethereum by the end of 2023. Ethereum is good coin.

To see the date of this post:

There are two subcategories of wallets, hot and cold. A hot wallet has a connection to the internet or to a device that has a connection, and a cold wallet has no connection. Lastly, there are three subcategories of wallets—software, hardware, and paper. Each of these types is considered either a hot or cold wallet.

U.S. stocks rose Monday despite a 4% spike in oil prices caused by the Israel-Hamas war. Even the Russell 2000 rose, signaling investor confidence. Asia-Pacific markets mostly followed Wall Street higher Tuesday.

How will the war in Israel affect the stock market?

DeFi protocols are prone to cyberattacks.He decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem faced increased setbacks as on-chain economic activity declined. According to an analysis by investment manager firm VanEck, exchange volume dropped to $52.8 billion in August, marking a 15.5% decrease compared to July.

And there are much more cases. I see he requested ALTT withdrawal, I don't think a systematic plagiarist deserves getting forum tokens.

The posts you linked have been removed. The user has a warning and also has the plagiarism badge. If you find any more plagiarized posts from any other site, please post them here and I will remove them as quickly as I can.

No, I don't think a user like that deserves to have forum tokens either.

Thank you!

I was reading the posts in a topic in the Technical Discussion and one post caught my eye considering that the user already has a Plagiarism strike, and that his post is (at least partially) plagiarism. If we look, the user quoted @ABCbits, and then changed his post only slightly, and it is possible that the rest was "borrowed" from other users.

The censorship problem actually could be reduced. But it's clear some of ETH owner/community don't care about it by staking their ETH on staking pool which censor TX. https://www.mevwatch.info/ shows 37% block in past month created by pool which censor TX.

Censorship problems may actually be reduced.   But it's clear that some ETH owners/communities don't care by staking their ETH on a staking pool that TX censors.   https://www.mevwatch.info/ shows 37% blocks last month generated by TX sensor pool. What you mentioned is very important, especially for the Ethereum (ETH) community.  Censorship preventability and decentralization are one of the core principles of the Ethereum network, but when transactions are censored by some staking pools or validators, it goes against those principles. According to the link you shared, according to data from MEV Watch, 37% of blocks last month were such.  Created by pools that censor transactions.  This calls into question the censorship resistance of the Ethereum network and shows the need for the community to be more aware of it. If the community takes this matter seriously and stakes ETH on an anti-censorship pool, this problem can be solved.  Therefore, efforts should be made to raise awareness and ensure decentralization, so that the future of Ethereum is secured.

Have given plagiarism penalty as over 80% plagiarised, though is somewhat redundant as they were warned for using AI last month and haven't returned since.

Looks like they received their plagiarism strike back in 2022 when warned and clearly didn't learn from this. Posted otherwise trashed.

@Lucius, @dragononcrypto, good job guys.

+2 for each of you.

I was in doubt about that case, because I didn't know if anyone had already noticed that post or if it was something that went under the radar. Posts that are plagiarism or AI are usually deleted on BTT -  I don't know if this is the case here as well or do they remain to serve as proof that the user wears his strike tag justifiably?

All such posts are not deleted but moved to Trash. You can find them even if the poster deleted the content in the post. A somewhat unusual decision to keep 'infectious material'
For example, I have the option to delete my own post, but even then I will not delete it completely, but just move it to the trash. So, julerz12 has their own thread there with all "bump" ^deleted posts  https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=314583.0

They serve as proof in the trash bin, based on the warning sent that references the plagiarism post. So if needed later down the line if the penalty is appealed the post can still be used as a legitimate reference.

Generally speaking the trash bin isn't a hotbed of activity, nor is it a public section. It serves as a record when needed, as we allow users to appeal cases here.

For example, I have the option to delete my own post, but even then I will not delete it completely, but just move it to the trash.

Global mods are able to delete posts from trash when needed, but that is rarely necessary either.

It is possible that this source that I cite is not the direct source from which it is actually paraphrased, but it is clear to anyone who looks at the post that it was copied from somewhere - perhaps the Wiki version in another language.

There are also a few more posts in the Gambling board that have parts of the post copied from other sources, although they are fully or partially put in quotation marks.
