OK so I can understand not knowing what the word "nonce" means on the Eastern side of the Atlantic, but if not from that, where did they get the name from?

That's why nonce cents was the perfect suggestion suggestion as a slang for crypto coins. It makes perfect sense in all the definitions.

Again a very likpatous story

If you think about it it's actually good that the apartment building in Florida collapsed because it can help us figure out how to build better apartments. In fact we should build as many unstructurally sound apartments as possible, to help us build better ones faster.

I do some side work as an extra when I can. I just got a casting notice for a reality TV show about people who lost all their crypto and want to recover it lmao. I imagine each episode will be 22 minutes of someone's life story and 30 seconds of "you're poo poo out of luck, there's no way to get it back".

Bought a shitcoin. Almost got a heart attack.
SELF-STORY
I put 0.01BNB each in some shitcoins a month ago. Get and forget.

I check my wallet today and i see 8 zeros.
Phoenix Protocol token (PHX) is at $0.08 which makes my "bag" worth $300M.

Immediate palpitation.
I know it can't be true but what if i accidentally bought into some insane rugpull.
Logic and reason out of the window. I close doors, pull window covers.
TrustWallet shows the price spiked moments ago! CMC shows the same!!!
Heart racing, hands shaking. Don't be too late!
Connecting to pancakeswap to get my millions... 0.004BNB

I was already in the process of making a "help me cash this out please" post when i found their week-old tweet saying "CMC and Trustwallet seem to be displaying the incorrect price for Phoenix. It is a glitch unfortunately."

What a ride.

During old days of casual playing lotteries i always imagined how would i feel if during numbers reveal mine would match.
I feel like i had this experience today and it felt both exciting and scary.

edit: tens of similar cases in the comments

When I copy and paste my wallet address from Kraken, the pasted address is not the same. Is this normal or a virus?
SECURITY
I think this might be a virus, I don't think I've downloaded anything suspicious but maybe I did.

I copy and pasted and address from Kraken into the Monero GUI wallet. The addresses do not match.I copied it again and posted it in a word document, it's the same address from before, but does not match the wallet address on Kraken.

I just tried the same thing again on a different computer and now the addresses match. I'm thinking I have a virus for sure now but I have no idea where it came from our how to find it.

Edit: Ok there were a few viruses, I'm not sure which one was which or where it came from. This is what malwarebyte shows me

Hijack.ShellA.Gen

Trojan.Crypt.MSIL.Generic

Malware.AI.4251292410

Edit 2: I will never use this PC for crypto related stuff in the future.

yeah, just a handful of viruses that try to steal all my money, whatcha gonna do

How do some posts get over 1K upvotes while other extremely useful once range between 50 and 200 upvotes?
FOCUSED-DISCUSSION
The other day i was scrolling through the Top posts and for real though i have seen some totally random posts with 12 thousand upvotes that simply share a silly self story thats mildly humorous.

On the other hand ive seen other excellent DD and Research posts that are full of comments but stay in an upvote range of double or triple digits.

It really makes no sense to me. Dont get me wrong i lo e a good laugh and i will upvote if something made me laugh but sometimes im really confused.

Are bots involved or how does this happen. The upvote difference between 50 and 12 thousand is pretty large and considering we have millions of members its pretty bizzare to me.

This is all fun and games, but if someone does it, know that the implementation can be much better.

The Spanish, say, says "coin of poo poo" but contains no reference to crypto currencies.

Off the top of my mind
"Cryptomierdera"
"Cryptomomierda"
Or
"Cryptomoñiga" might be better

(last one might depend too much on my regional variant of Spanish, please see terms and conditions.)
