Another plagiarism has been completely translated into Spanish by google translator.
Note that while on the bitcointalk.org forum, he didn't even bother to change the text.
This is not the first time this user has been plagiarized. Look for trust.


The next plagiarism, which is also copied and translated into Spanish via Google Translate.

As far as I've heard, users have been kicked out for much less before. I guess there are some double standards on the forum.
 ???

If a user copies someone else's article or a post from the forum, then translates it into another language, and posts a new post in the locale into which the text was translated.
Is this considered plagiarism, with the condition that there are absolutely no links to sources? That is, we can assume that the person who wrote the post assumes the authorship.

Maybe no mod wants to handle the reports yet because they don't know the language.

You can report to the moderator from the local board as well with the post link that you made reported on the LoyceV thread. So, local moderators would notice and take action against plagiariser. 

People really should be given a warning about plagiarism as obviously not all plagiarism is equal. There's obviously a huge difference between someone who comes here and tries to milk signature campaigns or farm accounts by using someone else's postings either from this forum or elsewhere but if someone just posts an incorrectly quoted/sourced answer from google to a question someone asked then that really shouldn't be the end of their account. A warning or at the very most a short temp ban should be enough.
Obviously most of us know that plagiarism is wrong but sometimes it's just down to naivety more than anything and a lot of time won't be done with malicious intent with or without a signature. We also really need to get that welcome message sorted where users are urged to read the rules or are given a handful of the most important ones upon sign-up. That alone would stop a lot of this from ever happening.

I despise who copy paste every single line then put the source at the end of it to rub their hands off, I don't understand how forum let go of such posts either. 

The obvious logic one would use is that if you copy and paste anyone's post and put it in an image, translate it or do whatever then you are required to include a link to the original post or else provide appropriate attribution.

That example you posted is plagiarism with this thinking.

Thank you all for your answers, I think the discussion of this issue has been exhausted. / Below is the answer by mprep (Global Moderator).

But now I don't know if this rule applies to all pictures with text in them or not.
But if you look at many topics, we can see that many users insert pictures with texts, and they were not accused of plagiarism.

It is plagiarism but if moderators feel softer to ban users, it can be why Cryptomint9 is not banned. If Cryptomint9 plagiarized few times and is reported, ban will be taken place.<…>

They should be. Plagiarism is plagiarism, whether it is text, image or text in an image.

I think plagiarism rules need an update. It's not that difficult to start a copied text with "I copied/translated this from xx", followed by quote-tags.

 Cybercriminals have been the cause of data leaks since the Internet was introduced to the world.  However, the main problem with cryptocurrency data breaches is that transactions are irreversible.

 Since the network is decentralized and therefore there is no mechanism to distinguish between transactions made using legitimate coins and transactions made using stolen coins.

 The ability to rollback a transaction makes it even more important to protect against data loss.

 Data Leakage Cost

 Some of the most significant data breaches to date are:

 Coincheck - $ 530 million

 Mt.  Gox - $ 460 million

 Parity - $ 275 million

 Bitfinex - $ 72 million

 DAO - $ 53 million

 Coincheck fell victim to what is arguably the most significant data breach of 2018.  An unknown third party was able to access the account and sent fake emails to customers.

 About 200 customers who responded to emails from hackers revealed their details.

 This included illegally obtained information such as names, contact addresses, and identification photographs.  According to the report,

 “A third party fraudulently obtained unauthorized access sent emails to our customers between May 31 and June 1, 2020,” the report said.  “It turned out that [the domain name] was in a state where it could be purchased.  "

 How cryptocurrency data breaches occur

 One of the best ways to keep your cryptocurrencies safe is to understand how they can be stolen.

 First, if a hacker gains access to your private key, he can send funds from your wallet anywhere in the world.

 Phishing attacks are also a popular way to steal funds from crypto funds.  Basically, a scammer uses one of many methods to trick users into giving away their sensitive information.  For example, a scammer created a fake Binance website that used the letter “ẹ” instead of the usual “e”.  The fake site was pretty much identical to the legitimate site.  However, it was designed to record and log in information that was entered by users.

 Other attacks, including centralized theft, phone transfers, copy-and-paste exploits, and the $ 5 attack, are also common threats for cryptocurrency users.

 Discovery takes an average of 279 days to detect and resolve a data breach, according to IBM.  In addition, in some situations, years passed before violations were discovered.  This was the case with dentists and vision insurer Dominion International.

 The company made a nine-year data breach announcement,

 “On April 24, 2019, through our internal alert research, with the help of a leading cybersecurity firm, we determined that an unauthorized party could have access to some of our computer servers.  Unauthorized access could have occurred on August 25, 2010 ”.

 How to avoid cryptocurrency data hacking

 There are several steps you can take to prevent data leaks,

 Be sure to store your tokens and cryptocurrency offline, whether in a hardware or paper wallet

 Make sure your private keys are protected offline

 Your private keys should be kept separate from where your wallet is kept (secure location outside the office or bank safe).

 Use only secure bookmarks to access wallets, exchanges or online cryptocurrency providers in your web browser.

 Use multi-factor authentication, with one option being a standalone token.

 Use the multi-signature method to access funds in your wallet

 Limit the amount of funds on exchanges to only what you need to trade or exchange



 Hacks - This type of attack poses a threat to everyone, but those dealing with crypto funds.

 Using proven methods, you can significantly reduce the chances of losing your hard-earned capital.

I think plagiarism rules need an update. It's not that difficult to start a copied text with "I copied/translated this from xx", followed by quote-tags.

I don't know how many plagiarism perks the moderators will give to this user. But I again observe insolent plagiarism, in two sections of the forum at once. And as always, without providing links to the source.

Also, this topic without source is translated and is in the Pakistani section

Is the whole topic still missing proving that this account is constantly copying everything from the Internet?

I think plagiarism rules need an update. It's not that difficult to start a copied text with "I copied/translated this from xx", followed by quote-tags.

I honestly can not understand why many users find it so difficult to indicate the original source.

Bitcointalk is the only forum I frequently visit that even cares about plagiarism, and in many cases it's just very convenient to quickly show a certain text.

That would be a great idea. I honestly can not understand why many users find it so difficult to indicate the original source.

@lovesmayfamilis I know that it probably won't have any effect, but have you tried contacting @Cryptomint9 (beside leaving him neutral tag), explaining him that what he is doing is wrong and that he should stop with this because he will most likely get banned? I know that ignorance is not a valid reason for breaking the forum rules, but I am just curious why he keeps doing the same thing.

Try to be honest, and first, it is important for yourself. You probably already noticed that I closely follow your posts. And posing as either Spaniard or Pakistani, it is important to remain who you are.
You were lucky. You were not banned. Now, try to think with your head. Study bitcoin, and not news search,  translate the same thing over and over again. While this is not bad, you should not pass off the fact that you have taken from the Internet as for your thoughts and advice. It doesn't work here.
In any case, stay safe, and respect those who are on this forum next to you.

Make a wish to be honest on the forum and not fool all members of the forum by assigning other people's articles, translating, and not posting links to the owners of these articles.
Perhaps on Christmas Eve you will have an understanding or a conscience will wake up, and you will stop plagiarizing. And to all newcomers who are "helped" by the OP today, I also advise you not to chase a freebie, but to learn to think with your head.
Happy Holidays!

I have seen you have reported my posts and I really thank to you that you have given a knowledge because I don't know much more about this forum.
And better is that always learn from the mistakes.
And I have learnt. I will never make this mistake again.
I will make a topic if I have full knowledge about it otherwise not.
And thanks for reporting and for giving me a right way.

I did not write to him in a personal, but several times left messages in his threads. I don't know what to do with it. Probably, to stop his plagiarism, I need to pay him, maybe then he will become more attentive to the rules.
But seriously, I have doubts about its adequacy.

Bitcointalk is the only forum I frequently visit that even cares about plagiarism, and in many cases it's just very convenient to quickly show a certain text.

I also reported  to mods that last plagiarism case, hopefully that helps and he gets removed from this forum. At least until he comes back with a new account.

Since the user has publicly thanked for the warning and promised not to repeat the same mistake, and he still does - I don't think he understands what plagiarism is, there is no other explanation. It seems that I will also join those who will report his posts, because it is really not clear to me that there is still no penalty for and more than an obvious violation of the rules.

@lovesmayfamilis I know that it probably won't have any effect, but have you tried contacting @Cryptomint9 (beside leaving him neutral tag), explaining him that what he is doing is wrong and that he should stop with this because he will most likely get banned? I know that ignorance is not a valid reason for breaking the forum rules, but I am just curious why he keeps doing the same thing.


+1

Either expand the plagiarism rule or at least forum staff should start deleting all those copy/pasted walls of texts that weren't formatted properly. Rule nr 1 says "No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads." so there is already basis for deletion.

I'm right. And many times I'm right! I didn't plagiarize. BLA BLA

If I am adding something good and informative and trying to give a good information so how it can plagiarism.

An example: You stumbled upon an interesting article and you want to share it with bitcointalk members. Proper way is to copy paragraph or two (and properly format it using quotation marks), share the link to the article and then you leave your own personal opinion on the matter. There is  no need to copy whole article, as those interested can always read the article on the website.

<…>

Anyways I have seen that you all have no knowledge how to guide a person. Some of you guide me very well and I appreciate them with the comment.
Thanks to all.  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Its your forum make it good for you.
I have lost my hope to get knowledge.

You have been on the forum for a month and this time is enough for anyone to know the rules of the forum. Also there are no second chances for plagiarism specially when you are doing it multiple times and also trying to translate articles in your local language so no one can catch you.
You are not so innocent as you are trying to show after being caught.

And if you all are thinking that I am making the good posts only to get merits so
So keep all merits in your pocket I don't want them I just want knowledge.
If I will find a good article so I will share it with you with the link.

Many of you think that the newbies only come for the merits or for the bounty you might be right but keep in yourind that five fingers are not equal.

Whether you are familiar with the term or not, translation plagiarism is a relatively new way that individuals are copying another’s written work. It involves taking written content and translating it to another language in hopes of reduced plagiarism detection.

...
Many of you think that the newbies only come for the merits or for the bounty you might be right but keep in yourind that five fingers are not equal.

Maybe Lucius was right and you really don't understand what plagiarism is, so let me explain you.

Why @Cryptomint9 is still not banned for plagiarism ? He has now started making fun of it  :(

I reported the post from here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5302477.msg55996796#msg55996796), and it is marked as good (deleted), but the user in question is still active, so maybe we have some new rules when it comes to plagiarism - or is it just a matter of time?

So at the end.
Forgive me for my all mistakes.
Next time I will keep in mind everything. Many are there who are good members which are teaching the people in a good way Thanks to all.

If you follow the cryptocurrency markets, there is no doubt that you have followed the leader, Bitcoin (BTC).  Most BTC experts are used to the ups and downs, but lately, bitcoin has been setting new records again and again.  Of course, there were several deep pullbacks just after a few high peaks.  For the most part, the history of the coin in 2021 has grown, grown, giving new meaning to Gandhi's saying.  What's the best way to understand what the current year has been like so far and make some educated guesses about what awaits us in the last three quarters?
 To get a feel for what has happened since January 1, it is wise to look at the current price level, see how ordinary investors can take part in the stock, analyze some of the new highs that were set within the first eight weeks of the year, examine the impact of the Tesla situation, and  pandemic COVID.  Here's a rundown of what every cryptocurrency enthusiast should know about Bitcoin's performance in the first half of 2021.

 Where are we today

 As of early March, BTC is worth $ 47,560. This piece of data alone says little.  Consider the fact that the cyber coin was priced at $ 29,333 after New Years.  That's an 80 percent rise in about seven weeks.  If the stocks of large corporations did the same, investors around the world would be amazed.  But these days, the financial media is hinting at anti-BTC sentiment for a number of reasons.  The first is that governments in many countries are finally starting to understand that Bitcoin can become a true global currency.

 Mass craze

 What about regular traders who want to participate in buying and selling bitcoins?  They did not stand aside because there are dozens of ways to take part in the general rally.  Possibly the easiest one is to trade Bitcoin with CFDs.  CFDs do not require huge upfront purchases, deposits or commissions.  In fact, there are no commissions at all.  Brokers make money from buy and sell spreads, which makes it incredibly easy for investors to buy CFDs, choose which side of the market, long or short, they want to be on, and make a buy.  The point is, you don't need to be Elon Musk to speculate in BTC or any other major cryptocurrency.

Highs and pullbacks

 Since January, prices have risen from $ 29,333 to $ 33,000, and then returned to $ 31,000.  During the week, the price reached a new peak of $ 40K, bounced back to $ 34K, skyrocketed to $ 38K, dropped to $ 30K for a couple of weeks on January 27, and then began a long record rise / Today's new high is 58  $ 681.

Tesla

 Tesla owner Elon Musk acquired BTC worth $ 1.5 billion in February.  Immediately thereafter, the coin's price reached a new peak of $ 46,000.  The key point to be learned from this event is that it is not completely isolated.  For example, Musk also announced that his company, the world's leading manufacturer of electric vehicles, will begin accepting BTC as payment for all of the company's products and services.
 Another piece of the puzzle is that Musk is not just an eccentric rich man who decided to enter the cryptocurrency market because he had free funds.  He is a thought leader in both the automotive and business sectors, followed by millions of other influential investors, politicians and private business owners.  There probably couldn't have been a greater one-off rise in Bitcoin's credibility and influence than the purchase of Musk.  Look for other prominent corporate presidents and entrepreneurs who will do the same.  This single incident was able to cause a kind of snowball effect.

 COVID-19

 All cryptocurrencies experienced a wild leap forward in 2020 when the COVID pandemic hit in March.  Most of the players in this niche suffered and returned to normal in September.  Since January, the daily flow of COVID and crisis news has subsided.  Investors in virtual money markets are not responding to gloomy news headlines as they were in 2020.  Perhaps this is one of the things that is taking all major cryptocurrencies to new heights.

If you follow the cryptocurrency markets, there’s no doubt you’ve been keeping an eye on the industry leader, Bitcoin (BTC). Most BTC-watchers are used to getting dizzy from all the ups and downs, but lately, the crypto star has been setting new high time and time again. Of course, there have been several deep retracements immediately after a few of the high points. For the most part, the story for the coin in 2021 has been up, up, and away, giving new meaning to an old song title. What’s the best way to understand what the current year has been like so far, and to make some educated guesses about what might be in store for the final three quarters?

To get a feel for how things have transpired since Jan. 1st, it’s wise to look at the current price level, see how ordinary investors can take part in the action, review some of the wild new highs that were set within just the first seven weeks of the year, examine the effect of the Tesla situation and the COVID pandemic. Here’s a summary of what every cryptocurrency enthusiast should know about Bitcoin’s performance for the first part of 2021.

Where We Are Today
As of late February, the price of BTC stands at a record $51,243. All alone, that piece of data doesn’t say much. Consider the fact that the cyber coin was valued at $29,333 on the first opening bell after New Year’s Day. That’s an 80 percent rise in about seven weeks. If a major corporate stock did the same, investors everywhere would be astounded. But there’s a hint of anti-BTC attitude in the financial media these days for a number of reasons. The primary one is that national governments are finally beginning to realize that Bitcoin could become a true global currency.

Getting Involved
What about everyday traders who want to get involved in buying and selling Bitcoin? They’re not left out because there are dozens of ways to take part in the excitement. Perhaps the easiest is Bitcoin trading via CFDs. Contracts-for-difference don’t require huge up-front purchases, deposits, or commissions. In fact, there are no commissions at all. Brokers earn their keep on the buy-sell spreads, which makes it astoundingly easy for investors to purchase a CFD, choose which side of the market, long or short, they want to be on, and make a purchase. The point is that you don’t need to be an Elon Musk to take advantage of speculating on BTC or any of the other major cryptos.

Highs and Retracements
Since January, prices went from $29,333 to the $33k mark and then retraced to the $31k position. Within a week, the price hit a new peak of $40k, retraced to $34k, soared up to $38k, retraced for a couple weeks down to $30k on Jan. 27, and then began the long, record-breaking climb to today’s new point of $52,681.

Tesla
Tesla’s owner, Elon Musk, purchased $1.5 billion worth of BTC in February. Immediately after that, the coin’s price hit yet another new peak, at $46,000. The key thing to take away from this incident is that it is not entirely isolated after all. For example, Musk also announced that his company, the premier electric vehicle producer in the world, would begin taking BTC as legal tender payment for all the company’s products and services.

The other piece of the puzzle is that Musk is not just an eccentric wealthy person who decided to enter the crypto market because he had the available funds. He’s a thought leader in both the auto and entrepreneurial sectors, followed by millions of other influential investors, politicians, and individual business owners. There probably could not have been a bigger one-time boost to the credibility and clout of Bitcoin than Musk’s purchase. Look for other prominent corporate presidents and entrepreneurs to do the same as the months pass into summer. This single incident could start a snowball effect of sorts.

COVID
All the cryptocurrencies had a wild ride in 2020 when the COVID pandemic hit in March. Most of the players in the niche took a hit for a month or so, recovered to normal levels through September, and then took off again. Since January, the daily trot of COVID news and crisis of the day has worn thin. Investors in the cyber money markets aren’t responding to the doom and gloom headlines as they were in 2020. That might be one of the things propelling all the major cryptos to new heights.

Have you learn it? I think not, you still repeating your same mistakes in the past. Paraphrasing doesn't avoid from plagiarism since you only change few words/synonym from the original article. The only way to avoid plagiarism is give the original source or create original content with your own words.
