Where are Noise you admin? Months ago I was kicked from Noise.cash for a post about the dog meat trade in Asia. I included a non graphic photo, that was shared on multiple social media networks, including Facebook and Twitter. And they had no problem with it. And yet, after someone reported me, I believe it was the revolutionary anarchist/socialist/communist Lucas living in a farm in a capitalist country, Noise admin banned me for ever. I was accused of posting it to get attention. Meanwhile I was one of the few there who never posted any "follow me giveaways" and reported hundreds of spammers every day. Without earning anything. I contacted the Noise admin on email and other platforms but never got any answer. Plus, my comments here are marked as low quality spam for some reason, while others above and below posting "nice post" comments show up normally. So, I'm asking again for the admin to explain here his decision.

About tattoos My humble opinion, about tattoos. I wanted to do one when I was young and I'm glad I didn't. For me tattoos scream UNSECURE Person. People always say that their tattoos are personal and for themselves. They are not, they are for others to see them. For some reason, people don't feel they are enough, and that tattoos will make them look cool, hard, sexy etc. Nowadays it's cool not to have a tattoo. If you had the tattoo 30 years ago, I would respect it. Back then people who had tattoos were finger pointed as outcasts. The most ridiculous are the people who will tattoo the names of their children. Why? You will love them more? Or millions of parents who don't have that tattoo, love their children less? Remember, you are the piece of art don't become the frame.

Defending animal rights on Noise is "racist" and "disgusting" I never post anything personal here so I apologize for the change. Just wanted to get it out of my chest. This is a little more detailed post about my bizarre and frustrating experience yesterday. I use a lot of crypto social media networks, and one of them was Noise.cash. For those who are not familiar, it's a Twitter like platform where users are tipped with Bitcoin Cash. Have been posting there one and a half month and managed to get 300 followers organically. I say organically because the network is full of follow 4 follow posts and subscribe and leave a comment in order to get tips. Anyway, I usually post about Cryptocurrencies, Politics, Technology Disinformation and Animals. Yesterday posted a short post about an incident in China, trying to raise awareness about the brutal dog and cat meat trade there. Most people don't even know this is happening. I posted a photo from a video that was shared by animal rights groups on Facebook and Twitter. FB, Twitter YouTube and other major platforms understand the fact that they are not just some dumb shocking videos by 15 years old but are posted by individuals, groups and organisations trying to show the world what is going on in China Vietnam Cambodia and Indonesia about dog and cat meat trade. Most people have never heard of it and have no knowledge about this brutal treatment of men's best friends. And some people could say yes but what about pigs, cows etc. Not only these volunteers post about the suffering of other animals. There's a difference when it comes to dog and cat meat trade. It's absolutely horrible. I'm talking cats drowning alive and dogs cooked alive. I will explain in another post the reason for this but you can also find information by just searching on Google for dog meat trade. I really wanted to use the original video but it was really hard to watch. I don't agree with hiding these videos, but anyway just posted a screenshot. Nothing shocking, and a couple of sentences describing what was happening. 10 minutes later, a user called Lucas left a comment saying that it was an extreme post and my intention was to get attention. I don't know how this guy can read other people's mind and know their intention, but nevermind. We had communicated a few times and he didn't agree with some of my posts as I with his. But I always was super friendly and really liked the guy. By the way he identified as a "Socialist living in a farm". https://read.cash/@lucas Now this user accusing me for trying to get attention, has 80 followers on Publish0x and Read.cash but has 850 on Noise.cash. How did that happen? By posting multiple posts with "giveaways" and "contests". What kind of giveaways? Subscribe and I will tip you, the first 10 to leave a comment, will get tips, follow me, so you don't miss the next giveaway etc. There are also 2 groups on Telegram where users exchange tips and follows but I didn't bother to check whether he is a member, since many left the group after their activity was made public on Noise and also hundreds of posts were deleted. So, I tried to reply to his comment but to my surprise I see a message saying my account was banned permanently for posting content with the intention to disgust users. Again, I don't know how admin determines the intention of users. (I hope the Read.cash admin will be a man and ask me to remove this photo if he finds it shocking, instead of just deleted my account. BTW, also tried to contact admin using different ways and websites, never got a reply, but just now saw they removed 3 communities I had created here without any reason or justification) I felt so bad, and immediately wrote a post on Read.cash a similar platform because I suspect they have the same admin and he would see it and hopefully talk about what happened. There is no Contact option on Noise BTW. https://read.cash/@ondoin/noise-just-banned-me-for-raising-awareness-about-the-dog-meat-trade-in-asia-80599822 As you can see the image I posted, it's barely graphic, but maybe I am wrong. Perhaps I have seen some horrible videos and I am wrong for not considering the image extreme or shocking. Let me know what you think about it. And guess who left a comment a few minutes after my post was published here. And when I say published I mean my followers could see it because it wasn't approved to go live and still remains that way. So, what Lucas said? I deserved the removal of my account because this post seemed like an attempt to anger and disgust people. Not only that but I was a "racist" because I don't hate the meat industry in US"! I'm not kidding. And added, "I didn't report you but certainly see the justification, lol". I mean WTF guys,Anyway where to begin and how you reply to this I asked how did he know what I think about the meat industry in US? And how he can call me a racist without having any idea about my beliefs and how meat industry in US is connected to racism. And I asked him to show me one post or comment of mine where I say that a certain race is superior than others. What Lucas did? He replied that I "should improve my attitude" and ... blocked me. I have contacted, read.cash admin by email, leaving a comment on his last post (that was 6 months ago BTW), contacted on Twitter and also send DM to Marc de Mesel, the millionaire paying for the tips on Noise and Read.cash. You know what there was zero interest. I am stopping here because the post got long and don't want to spend your precious time, but I will post another article explaining some things so you can have a better idea of the situation, about Noise and Read.cash, Noise admin, my beliefs and Lucas's and some other stuff. promise it's not gonna be boring. See you soon.

Noise just banned me for raising awareness about the dog meat trade in Asia I have been on Noise.cash since the early days and was one of the few accounnts who didn't post quotes and garbage posts and comments. I was also one of the few who got my followers organically without "leave a comment to get tips" kind of 'giveaways'. Anyway, today I posted this short post, which was shared on FB and Twitter by an animal rights organisation. I only posted a photo, not the video. And someone reported me. The administration didn't contact me to delete the post or remove it themselves, they just terminated my account, permanently. All I wanted is raise awareness about the dog and cat meat trade in China, Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia. Most people have no idea this is happening. Just Google dog meat trade and you will see what I mean. Meanwhile, people who beak the rules every day, are there. Just yesterday, there was a scam case with someone who was promising free money to people and yet, the account wasn't removed. Same goes for the guy who created the fake Noise token. And of course the same for all those people who exchanged tips and follows on Telegram group openly.

About Project Blank on Hive I asked @funtraveller on Noise.cash what is Project Blank after he mentioned it in a post. Apparently it's (another) Twitter-like app and will have its own token. Obviously the thousands of tokens we already have, are not enough. Do I believe it will be a game changer? No. I believe it's a project trying to copy the success of LeoFinance. Dozens of "Twitter-like" apps claimed to be a "game changer" in the past. None of them succeed. Project Blank will be on Hive blockchain, which is already complicated for the average user, with Hive Power, Hive token and Hive dollar. So having another token is a big No No in my humble opinion. When (and if) the project will be launched, I suspect we will have the same familiar story. High prices for the first days, so that the developers sell their tokens and after that a steady decline. What do you think about it?

My answer to Lucas post I wrote this first as a comment but got long so I am posting it as a separate post. I know Lucas from Noise.cash and I have already told him he is my favourite Anarchist. Note, I hate anarchists, although I was one of them when I was young. Here's his post: https://read.cash/@lucas/bigotry-and-internalized-hatred-c1bb37dc I really understand what you are saying Lucas and have been dealing with depression for many years. But, on the other hand most people don't care what homosexual men and women do in their bed. They are fine with that and no problem at all. The problem is when you see Gay prides and similar parades celebrating "love". Yet it's all about sex on those parades, not love. Noy to mention that multiple studies have shown that most homosexuals prefer one night stands and not serious relationships. On the other hand, the same people who complain about their mental state and psychological problems etc. are the ones saying that we should allow even children to make the choice of changing gender at such a young age. And there are dozens of examples of people who regretted later. And more and more are added every day. Now they say there are 100+ plus genders (others claim to be an unlimited number of genders) and we are now supposed to be careful when we say he/she and pronouns in general. Don't they understand how ridiculous this sounds to "normal" people? Here's a post I saw today. And I can post many more but let's keep it short. So, yes society should understand how transsexuals, gays, lesbians etc think and their struggle. But these people should also understand how society thinks. I am sure we can find a middle way. And although some people complain about repression in the West, don't forget that the West allowed them to come out and protects their rights etc. All over the world people are tortured and killed for their sexual preferences. We have come a long way and perhaps many can be done, but there should be a limit at some point.

How to sell Uptrennd tokens? Still looking for a way to sell my Uptrennd tokens. The problem is Ethereum fees. I have $178 worth of 1UP tokens on Trust wallet and only $3 ETH. Tried Uniswap but it is asking for $30 fee. Now, I have $40 BCH but can't convert it to Ether on Bitcoin.com wallet. I was thinking of sending the BCH to Binance and sell it there. But I don't know if I can withdraw ETH from there on my Trust wallet. I mean I don't know what fee I will have to pay. Any ideas or other suggestions?

@ondoin

The problem with Bitcoin Let's say tomorrow everyone in the world starts using Bitcoin. There are 18,622,375 BTC in circulation right now (although thousands have been lost for ever), and the total supply is 21 million Bitcoins. 21.000.000 ÷ 7.8 billions world population gives us 0,00269230769 per person. (Meanwhile the Top 1% hold most of the BTC, but let's skip it for the moment). So, you have 0,002 BTC for all your life. What would be the result of that? Imagine going on a store to buy a Coca cola, you would see prices like 0.0000000000035472. Do you think that's a practical solution? Do you think most people would like that? I love Bitcoin, but this is one of its weaknesses. A post I wrote 2 years ago: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@ond/why-i-didn-t-believe-in-the-tokenization-of-everything

TATA a crypto social network claiming to have 11 million users After TATATU.com, now I discovered TATA, a Chinese app claiming to have 11 million users! (I'm not so sure about that). Thought of trying the app just for fun, but it's asking for my phone number and I don't feel comfortable giving it to a Chinese company that I know nothing about. Anyway, in case you want to try it, here are the website, a "review" and their Android app. http://www.tataufo.com/ https://medium.com/ttc-official-blog/introducing-tataufo-ttc-protocols-first-dapp-fd10dac73542 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tata.tataufo

What I like about Publish0x Publish0x has my respect for many reasons. First network to introduce the get paid to tip trend. It's almost spam free Had the courage to disable tips for comments in order to avoid all those nice post garbage comments, although it was something many users were against. It doesn't use its own token but usually 3-4 coins that are known. I don't know what is going on now, but in the beginning writers had to apply and provide examples of work. No good morning and flower posts. Minimum withdrawal $1 (although could be raised at $2) and relatively fast withdrawals. Always transparent about the system, economics and updates. I'm sure there are other positive aspects but that's what I can remember for now.

Can we really spot fake news? Had a conversation the other day with a guy about fake news and disinformation. And he was like, people should be free to decide for themselves if something is real or not. I tried to explain that for many users this is impossible. I believe what I see he said. So I sent him as an example the website https://thispersondoesnotexist.com. Yeah, what he said. Do you see anything wrong I asked. What do you mean he replied. He didn't even notice the name of the site. Anyway, I explained that the website creates fake photos of people who in reality do not exist. Every time you refresh the page you get a new photo. Sometimes of course the AI will make small mistakes. But in 99% of the cases you can't tell the difference from real photos. He never replied back.

The problem with uHive When I first signed up on Uhive, I was reporting hundreds of fake accounts pretending to be celebrities, big companies, mainstream news websites etc. The team took no action. When I asked them on Telegram why, they said "account verification is not a priority". Now I believe these accounts are created by the developers themselves in order to make the platform appear successful and well known. Scott Cunningham believes the same. The other thing that bothers me is the fact that you can't trade anywhere the tokens you earn. They keep saying that soon the token will be listed on multiple exchanges but months have passed and nothing happened. So, I am thinking now whether I should abandon the platform and focus on better ones. https://www.uhive.com/en

Some observations and proposals Returned to Read.cash after a long time. And felling lucky to have saved the seed phrase. But after all this time, I didn't see any major changes. It is still impossible (at least for me) to format the text on mobile phone. If you click to make a word bold for example, you get the Google menu box for copy or translate on top of the Read.cash toolbar that offers different options. The other problem for me is the non existent filter option for communities. And remember, we are talking about a website where dozens of communities are created every day. You can choose between: Interesting Unfiltered Joined Admin/Moderator Abandoned Hidden And you can filter by language. That's it. All you can do is click Next with no end insight, since you don't even know how many communities are in total. What makes things worst, is the fact that there many similar if not identical communities. I think it would be nice to have them separated in categories, or rank by popularity ot number or subscribers. Communities with identical names and description should not be allowed. Communities with 1-2 members should be automatically deleted if the admin abandones them And although plagiarism is in theory prohibited, therw are so many communities that say post anything you want. A newbie will think this is a free for all and everything is allowed. I understand that perhaps the team doesn't have the time or resources but there should be a Telegram group or something similar for people to be able to get support, report spam and plagiarism fast etc etc. The group could be common for both Read.cash, Noise.cash and any other similar project the team has that is based on Bitcoin Cash. That's all for now, I will write more in the coming days. This post will be crossposted on Read.cash and I hope I don't get a penalty for plagiarism. Oh and something else. I love Noise.cash and I hope that they will not see this post as a sign of disrespect or anything like that. It's just my observations as a simple user and perhaps I don't have all the information and could be wrong.

The Lies of Zeitgeist documentary When I watched Zeitgeist the Movie in 2007 I was amazed. I thought I discovered a hidden truth hidden by the establishment and found some of the facts just shocking. I didn't have any reason to doubt the facts presented, I until I just saw an article by chance. Reading it I thought it was just an attempt to discredit the creator for finally revealing the truth to Humanity. But then I started reading more. And to my horror, I slowly started to see that it was just full of fake facts. Finally the director accepted that he had use the "artistic license" to construct a narrative didn't mean to change history or insult science. But that is exactly what he did. Here are a few articles I randomly selected. There are plenty of others, some really huge research projects by well respected persons. **www.skeptic.com/eskeptic/09-02-2...** **www.epsociety.org/library/author...** **www.talk2action.org/story/2011/1...** **boingboing.net/2007/08/06/jay-ki...** https://www.skeptic.com/eskeptic/09-02-25#feature http://www.epsociety.org/library/authors.asp?mode=profile&pid=75 http://www.talk2action.org/story/2011/1/14/92946/9451 https://boingboing.net/2007/08/06/jay-kinney-reviews-z.html Disclaimer: crossposted on Noise.cash

MetaMask browser users will be able to import their transaction history into their mobiles by scanning a QR code ConsenSys and Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Joseph Lubin said that "Metamask will do for web 3 what smartphones have done for web 2".

We should have a Telegram group. Can you guys at Read.cash team create one please?

We are full of "nice post, good article, wow, very informative, great" and other amazing comments from people with high IQ.

Read.cash is full of spam now For a long time, read.cash was full of great posts and there are still plenty of them now. But on the other hand I see that there are many "Flowers", "Beauty of nature", Weather", "Clouds" and similar generic articles that I usually see on Uptrennd. Most of them are low quality photos or higher quality images found online. Copy paste articles about "the benefits of bananas" and religious quotes targeting the faithful. And below these posts I see ridiculous spam comments like "nice post", "wao what a great photo, "yes, you are right" etc. I believe most of these users came from Uptrennd, a similar paid to post website, after reading there about Read.cash. Uptrennd for those who don't use it, is full of spam and plagiarism, although the moderators try hard to remove them and educate the users. https://www.uptrennd.com/user/start https://www.uptrennd.com/signup/NTU5NTI I really hope, we don't become like that and ask everyone to do their best to post original and quality content. It's in our interest to keep the website clean and make it more popular.
