No, it makes sense. Your argument doesn't though. You seem to think that trust is only meaningless because accounts are allowed to be sold, but whether they are or not makes no difference to the trust system because accounts will still be sold regardless. Banning the sale of accounts changes absolutely nothing, apart from maybe making people like you think they're now a little but safer, when they're not.
OK so lets just do away with pretending that the trust system actually matters then, can we? The entire component should be removed from the forum since it is already prone to being abused. You're like the American government trying to defend an indefensible position. You won't accept that there is an underlying flaw in the root of your logic. Isn't it funny how the biggest defenders of the default trust are those setting atop it? these people are not bitcoin supporters. a supporter of bitcoin would encourage decentralized consensus proof of trust algorithm. maybe they don't understand that bitcoin is decentralized proof of trust in and of itsself, but on the same token, perhaps they are corrupted morally and feel the need to protect their bottom line, by keeping a monopoly on the trust system, and their corruption has overriden their logical thinking algorithm. food for thought :-) Well said. I really don't think I can add anything more to this discussion. If Hilarious and Co want to keep justifying account selling, there's obviously nothing I can do to stop them since they have the power to change things and I don't. I will continue to keep track of sold accounts to the best of my ability and warn other users if I see them attempting to run scams. |

looks like a 90th movie, hawaii 5-0 ?  Ah-ha.......is it one of the actors from the Hawaii Five-0 reboot ? Don't know who the guys are, but it's always a good moment to mention Grace ParkYeah, she's hot as holy hell. Even in person, too. Its funny that she is a female version of a male character in the original Hawaii 5-0. Much more attractive. I think the guy on the left is the main star from the new Hawaii 5-0, the one that isn't James Caan's son. |

Trust is not meaningless, it is a good starting point.
Unless you are trading with a bought account, in which case trust is absolutely meaningless. And how can you know if you are conducting a trade with a bought account? You can't. Ergo, Bitcointalk's trust system is meaningless. |

And there'd be even less that were aware it went on if it wasn't allowed.
What? That makes no sense. If it wasn't allowed, people would know that its not allowed. Most of the time people don't stop to even think about it. They don't stop to consider they may be speaking or trading with a bought account. Its not really up to you to decide whether or not they should know this, the simple fact is, they don't. Trust means nothing so long as accounts are bought and sold here. I will be happy to provide the service of listing and pointing out bought accounts for general public awareness. |

Does the person operating this account know Edward Hickman of Honolulu, Hawaii ( Pacific Blockchain )? Joshua NxT people have threatened you and they know where you live.  Contrary to popular beliefs, you guys are both idiots. I don't know, maybe they are popular beliefs these days. Should be. Can someone's paranoia actually render their intelligence sub-average? |

There are pro-arguments to letting it happen, contrary to your belief, and your opinion on the matter isn't shared by everyone. And what good what banning the sale of accounts here do exactly? Suddenly make it not happen? Only a naive fool would think it would have any positive impact. It would have the exact opposite because a lot of people would then be clueless to the fact that the practise goes on. Banning account sales would literally have zero positive effect here.
Your argument is completely meaningless. How would banning account sales make the trust system any more or less valid? It wouldn't.
A lot of people are already completely oblivious to the fact that account selling goes on. I'm just pointing out that, as things stand right now, the trust system is completely meaningless, because trust can be bought and sold instead of earned. Are you denying this reality altogether? |

Exactly, but I don't think this guy is going to get it. Most people generally do seem to frown upon account selling and it's not 'endorsed' by this site or the admins. There's a difference between endorsing something and allowing something, especially something they cannot hope to or be expected to control. Also, even if account trading was banned, that wouldn't mean it's not going to happen and suddenly make trust 'meaningful' or 100% trustable.
You implicitly endorse account selling by creating "pro" arguments on its behalf. You could simply disallow open account selling on the forum, but that's too much to ask apparently. I'm just pointing out that if you are happy with your trust system being absolutely meaningless, then by all means, carry on exactly the way you've been doing. |

You guys realize the trust system is completely meaningless, right?
So long as you can buy and sell accounts, you can get trust that you didn't earn and use it to make trades with people who don't know they are trading with a bought account.
This is why account selling should be frowned upon and not openly endorsed.

Now that you can buy and sell accounts with no recourse, the trust system is completely meaningless.
Think about it.

Something good must be coming soon to DRK to warrant this kind of attention.
Darkcoin is the worst form of anonymous coin we've tried yet... except for all of the others.

 You must bring us... ANOTHER SHRUBBERY! Just keeping the theme going. |

I would say the psychological damage his attack has had on your coin is staggering...
There should be a subsection of the forum devoted for those in need of grievance counseling or psychiatric advice.

If you have something unique and you demonstrate you are the better developer on your code than any arseholes who try to fork your project, then your premine is not a negative, it is a positive.
Yeah just like Satoshi's premine. Oh wait a minute thats right there's no such thing. You should do your project out of the love for it. If you do it for any other reason, people will see through it and you will fail. |

Thanks. Holy hell thats impressive feedback. |

This is acutally a good idea, as staff for these past days have bullying members, I seen one member get banned for small scams and the bigger ones like TF still stay here cause hes connected. Theymos and his staff goons are just bullies with power in this forum. Like the government, People you shouldnt be afraid if they ban you then this forum is not worth it, move on to others, let theymos staff and mods be the fall of him.
Who is TF? I could figure it out but I'm lazy. |

Bump
What accounts are you selling? Can you list them so people who left positive feedback for them have the chance to remove it? It seems pretty ethically dubious to sell accounts with positive trust ratings when the trust was left for that user and not your buyer. Your buyer could be a total scammer, now it appears he has a positive trust rating because he bought one of your accounts. Not cool. |

Maybe it's time to admit everything has been said and done on this thread. Post a picture of Hitler and call it a day.
This. This and only this. |
