Title: New BitcoinTalk Clone?
Post by: bestBTCdomains on April 22, 2020, 11:25:32 PM
Have you guys seen https://de-fi.co (https://de-fi.co) ?

What are your thoughts?

How is it a Bitcointalk clone? It's just one of your typical cryptocurrency forums; not every cryptocurrency forum is a Bitcointalk clone.

I remember that there is a clone of Bitcointalk to scam people but I have forgotten what the website is though. I'm pretty sure someone could point it out.

P.S. I can't open the link anymore

You're probably referring to the Bitcointalk.to phishing site, the site that appears on Google's search results from time to time back then when searching for stuff concerning Bitcointalk.

That is not a clone in any way, but rather a forum with 72 posts so far, and 22 registered users, with no visual nor content similarities.

Well, there is this for the gullible:

Note: It does have a bitcoin/other price ticker, which is not bad if you can switch it off at will.

The link does not add the trailing "o" to the domain. You need to add it manually (and assert that you want to go to a random webpage to begin with).

I click your the link but it did not direct me to a website that you called a clone, I am not sure if that site is still up until now.

IIRC, there's also a close website in the past, so it's really necessary to bookmark the site we are visiting so we will not make mistakes.
Actually I made mistakes in the past, I log-in to the website bitcointalk.to and good thing I realize my mistake immediately, so what I did is that I change my password immediately, worst would happen if I was not able to, since I have no stake my bitcoin address that time.

OP messed up the URL tag with one missing character.

Our thoughts are that you don't know what exactly means word "clone". Your question would make sense if there also installed SMF forum (which is possible and legit, because it is free software), but forum from your link use Wordpress, completely different platform with a completely different design.

Don't be shy - you created the website yourself and you want to draw traffic to it - didn't you?


I also think this is about, this type of promotion has become common here. Though it is OP clumsily placed an incomplete link so this means nothing and has no positive value for this domain.  ;)

Lol, quite possible.

In any case, unless there are websites which look exactly like bitcointalk does and can somehow trick regular bitcointalk members into attempting to log into them with their credentials, I don't see why it's a big deal.  People shouldn't be using the same login details across forums anyway, so even if people were to register on a clone site (or one that's close to a clone), hopfefully they wouldn't provide enough info for their bitcointalk accounts to get hacked.

And while we're on the subject of other forums where crypto is discussed, I'm pretty sure most of them are dead at birth.  Unless a site can duplicate the signature campaigns and bounties, which are a feature almost exclusive to BCT they don't have a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding.  Not sure what the state of cryptotalk.org is right now, but even with members getting paid 1000sats per post, the site was a mess of spam and otherwise nonsense posts.  Bitcointalk has more or less a monopoly on the market for discussion boards about bitcoin--and for good reason.

This is not a literal clone, but it is bitcointalk with "no ads, no smm, no other spammers" ::)

Obviously, this does not attract many users (Total members 1447), but they have price ticker not only for BTC, but also some other coins. Some members ask for that from time to time, now they can see what it would look like in this forum.

Are you talking about something for the BitCointalk community...!

Not much can be thought of for one word "clone" as far as I know it can be said or can be (identical) with cells or genes.
Do you want to say that Bitcointalk is in the form of cells or genes, it didn't occur to us about that.

Why do you think Bitcointalk has cell clones and gene clones.
If I am not mistaken, the cell clones can be said to be a group that is normally synonymous with genetic traits, which all start from one cell.
gene clones, or more so-called molecular, no, no, no, no....

If that's what you mean, Bitcointalk is not the case, Bitcointalk tends to be more to the general public, not in groups.

Do you want us to visit your new cell site and gen.oh, no.

Since when we started to call other forums about Bitcoin as clones of Bitcointalk? From what I see, it's not phishing Bitcointalk website. Also, it doesn't looks same like Bitcointalk. It's just another forum about Bitcoin, out of many. And I think their domain name is terrible. It's almost impossible to attract decent number of visitors with such name.

Or you are just simply shilling out this forum.If not then dont bother on this one yet this will eventually die coz nothing beats up this place. hehe

Agree with Timelord2067 and one of the posts above telling that it is built with Wordpress.

It doesn't even have firewall protection and it can be easily Brute-force and DDOS attack
- https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/https/de-fi.co

And no backlinks history and it is just indexed by google 3 days ago and no other pages are indexed on Google only the homepage.

https://i.imgur.com/Y2LqQBw.png

You are using an outdated free theme which is Stargazer theme (https://wordpress.org/themes/stargazer/) with a plugin called Asgaros Forum (https://wordpress.org/plugins/asgaros-forum/). That is why it looks like a forum but the website is not the same as bitcointalk.org which is built with "simple machine forum"

Clone how this become a clone it's using a different script it's not an SMF script and they did not copy categories coming from Bitcointalk, this is very much different I think OP do not understand the words "clone", in the past there are forums that are created to clone Bitcointalk.

yeah on the past but even until now there are sites that are much worster than this one where they copy the whole concept of bitcointalk from the script , categories , also they conduct pay to post but thier rates were only lower and i think no one can beat the pay rate existed on this forum .

thats one of the reason why users on here cant move anywhere which makes bitcointalk still the number one crypto/bitcoin forum .

Their administrator is named Satoshi, I gotta go there and shake hands myself after registering.
The forum will be one of the forum who will just be there as an alternative but might not be visited but will be filled with spam since they allow guests. Most of the contents are from guests.

I found only few users that is in there and also in here with the same username.

Yeah and I think the price ticker is pretty cool. I haven't been on here in a few days and was surprised to see this thread had a bunch of comments. I saw a post about it on 4chan /biz and just didn't know if you guys had heard about it or used it.  Apparently now they have a $50 contest, look at the screencap: https://imgur.com/a/anp5DSc (https://imgur.com/a/anp5DSc)

I don't know how you can say it is a clone of Bitcointalk, nothing is close to Bitcointalk. Maybe you haven't seen any other crypto-related forum except Bitcointalk. There are many crypto forums are available, some are almost similar to bitcointalk, but no one cloned of it. You may have a look at Altcointalk, Litecointalk, Bitcoingarden, Cryptotalk and so on for better knowledge.

Yeah, when we do talk about cloning then it should really looks like the same but this one doesnt really looks like bitcoin,maybe he do
mean about being a crypto forum and as you said there were lots of them already but none of them do able to get toe to toe into this
forum if we do based up on traffic.It cant be beat down easily on a place where the bitcoin creator had made.Its not bad for them to
start up a new forum though but they should know that beating up this one is almost impossible.

I guess OP do not understand the word clone, in the past so many forums are cloning Bitcointalk some of them are phishing and there are still some developers trying to clone Bitcointalk because they want to hack members with high rank but unfortunately for them only newbies fall to this phishing site not high ranked members.

About how many there were, there will be more forums for the blockchain industry! Of course, the main indicator is activity. And everything else is a derivative of activity. If a forum without proper activity suits its creator, then it has completely different goals than those that it announced.

It is but it's so hard to acquire a domain with the word Bitcoin on it, it's like some guy or company has taken the business of acquiring every domain that has the word Bitcoin on it, good luck on finding a domain if you find some you can flip it and make money by offering it on Cryptocurrency forums.

It's pretty much a hit or miss. You won't know if someone's even going to offer or just opt for another one. Unlike those reputable brands like Microsoft and Sony which have a defined named for their products.

So far I have not seen any Bitcoin clone now, where all the contents are very similar to Bitcointalk, but we must be all aware that in the past there were a lot of Bitcointalk clone and so many members accounts were hacked, so better check if you are landing on the right Bitcointalk.

What do you mean by "similar to bitcointalk"? None of the forums you mentioned has any similarity to bitcointalk forum. I already have accounts in all of them.
Best knowledge is here in btt. There is no doubts.

It's not that profitable if someone willing to buy all domains with the word bitcoin which would cost a lot of money.

No better than cryptotalk.org (even though I'm not a user) who offers money every post that is made.

If it's your website, then you should be careful to say that it's a clone of the Bitcointalk forum. If you try to trick users of this forum like bitcointalk.to with malicious purposes, then we will report your site.

Yes, of course, new sites, such as altcointalk, Cryptotalk and others, have their own design, but the main points are still copied from Bitcoin. I believe that the creators of these resources were several years late, because in my opinion the forums were created as a business project in order to get the opportunity to receive income thanks to new projects, unlike bitcointalk, which is the center of the cryptocurrency user community, which broadcasts cryptocurrency information. And since ico companies and Bounty companies had very strong activity in 2016 and 2017, then in those days these sites might have had good results, but today in this business more and more attention is paid to credibility, and bitcointalk has a lot more.
