Title: Ummm... Why does CryptcoMiner still have a positive trust rating?
Post by: awesome31312 on August 30, 2016, 10:31:03 AM
For people too young to remember, CryptcoMiner was 2014's biggest Ponzi scheme, targeting Bitcointalk users in a very old-fashioned scam contrastingly presented in a unique way, they shut down when they hit the 70 BTC mark.

You can see many posts of it, just use Google, there are many threads about it on Bitcointalk even to this day

So, why does the user's (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=371311) trust rating show:
Trust:    10: -0 / +1

Wait, why is it different for me then? And how do I change it so that mine shows -8 too?

This is the outcome when newbies buy accounts here on bitcointalk.

That really does not answer my question, but alright, I guess.

They're 0: -0 / +0 with unmodified trust settings.

@OP
You're seeing that because your (bought) account have someone who gave a positive feedback to Cryptominer in your trust network (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust).  In this case that someone is you.

My account is not bought. I have not modified anything in my trust list, it is as it always has been since I have signed up. Also, you can go back to my posts from the very beginning, they have always been satirical and sarcastic, as well as free of grammar/spelling errors. It doesn't make sense when you accuse me of using a bought account. I won't waste any time defending myself against something that I do not consider to be a vice though.

I've edited my post to clarify some thing while you were typing.  That should make things clear.
You gave them a positive trust back in 2014 and you're included in your own trust list/network by default.

Oh, I just realized that the rating I had left on their profile when they absconded was a positive one, not a negative one. Oops!
