Things I've noticed:

The first thing I see is a popup:
Quote
Are you sure you're using TOR?
Of course I'm sure, but why are you asking this? All I can click is "Close" anyway.

TOS: 404: Not found.
Cookies: 404: Not found.
Privacy Policy: 404: Not found.

4. Click "Create Wallet".
Nothing happens when I click the button.

So I can't test anything else for now.

Those fees aren't encouraging to switch to a custodial service: I paid 111 sat fee on my last on-chain Bitcoin transaction, and I don't pay anything to receive a payment.
10723  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Remove Proxyban (evil fees) - email to get whitelisted for free on: July 23, 2021, 06:10:49 PM
I suggest sharing the list of usernames you get from your email with the other whitelisters and immediately request theymos for a ban if someone's sending requests to all of you at once.
I'm not sharing usernames yet. Weirdly, I've received several emails without their username.
I think asking for bans would be excessive (for now).

Don't forget about hilariousandco's alt account .... You will probably have to stare at the phone screen for a very long time publishing posts to overtake his second account.
I checked that one before I made that post. Added together, they won't win Smiley

I reviewed my previous post. It does have similarities with the post pointed out by icopress.

The DSA content I posted was not copied directly from the link he pointed out.
I'm still confused by this part: if it's a verbatim copy, it's copied. It doesn't matter if you use copy/paste or type it yourself.

Unless of course you own https://www.programmersought.com/article/7824960278/, which also uses Chinese text in a screenshot, just like your post here.

I do not quite understand the purpose of posting handwritten calculations, since looking at these fuzzy images, it is impossible to distinguish anything.
At least it proves he spent effort on the post. That's what makes kxwhalexk stand out from the lazy (or even automated) copy/pasting to reach signature targets (which made me start this thread 4 years ago).
I barely see those cases anymore, so I'd say Bitcointalk is better now. But as "Is Bitcointalk.org losing user base?" shows, we need users too Smiley And I think we should be careful not to ban users for mistakes. I can't emphasize enough how unique Bitcointalk is on banning users for plagiarism. And although that makes perfect sense when it's a lazy way to earn from a signature campaign, I believe (some) users deserve a heads up first.

Can I see my own Merit graph?
Can I be lazy and ask you to post the correct format?
Posts 2 (or more) profiles and I'll get you a graph. Please use this format with only userIDs:

I'd say it's time to remove this one from the list:
⭐Name: WhaleMixer

This is why:
I had no idea about the issues, I thought is it safe to use them since I found the website on this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2827109.0

"WhaleMixer" is collecting negative feedback, including mine, and is a proven liar.
10728  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scam Report WhaleMixer.com - Mixer That Dispense Freshly Mined Coins on: July 23, 2021, 03:51:11 PM
The fact is that I checked how they work with Monero, this is the only mixer that can do it.
That's because there's need to mix Monero when used correctly.
See:
#2 - Monero

Monero is not a magic black box which provides perfect anonymity! If you use eg. flyp.me to buy XMR and then quickly sell this XMR on flyp.me again, it is blatantly obvious to flyp.me what you've done (if they keep logs), both due to the amounts and the specific Monero inputs used. In order to get decent privacy, you have to do something like this:
 1. Convert BTC to XMR (using your own Monero wallet, not a hosted wallet).
 2. In two or more transactions of random amounts, move XMR from that wallet to a different wallet/account.
 3. Optionally, you can repeat the above step with additional wallets/accounts for greater anonymity.
 4. Preferably in two or more transactions of random amounts, convert the XMR in your last wallet in the chain to BTC.
 
Ideally, all of the above should be performed over as long a period of time as you can tolerate.

 - Pros: Possibly the best anonymity, especially if you're able to stay within the XMR ecosystem to some extent
 - Cons: You should use Tor with Monero, but you have to set this up manually; it's all more difficult; you're exposed to exchange rate risk; transaction fees may be significant

Since I'm finally closing in on theymos, I needed an update (data up until this morning's Merit data dump):

I hope I make it before theymos updates something on the forum that gives him a 1000 Merit vertical jump again Smiley

The increase in Merit sources is clearly visible in the last few weeks.

I will say in the words of pooya87 "It is not your English, there are fundamental flaws in what you explain. Maybe you should avoid trying to explain to others things you don't fully understand yourself", especially when the user is trying to explain something to someone without specifying a link to the source.
It looks like he's been trying to get Merit from the day he joined, and he did earn 75 Merit in a short time. It could also be he doesn't know plagiarism isn't allowed on Bitcointalk, he doesn't look like the standard signature spammer. I'll send him a message.

I am not shocked that a power that controls everyone's movement would want to ban something
On the upside: if governments want to ban or control something, that can only mean they expect it to become really big Smiley

you shouldn't have deleted your first post, also this thread needs to stay here.
just because your problem is solved positively this thread should stay, just like negative cases.

10733  Economy / Economics / Re: EU wants to ban crypto anonymous transactions and wallets on: July 22, 2021, 11:03:46 AM
Limiting transactions below 10,000 euros
That's just laughable. What are they going to do: charge criminals for smuggling €100 million worth of cocaine, with an additional charge for accepting cash money?
10734  Economy / Economics / Re: EU wants to ban crypto anonymous transactions and wallets on: July 22, 2021, 10:36:34 AM
I'm required to pay taxes only on the fiat I withdraw from exchanges, so the agencies may not know certainly the amount of my holdings.
If in 5 years I want to cash in all my crypto, will they consider me a terrorist?
My guess is the burden of proof will be on you. My bank already wants to know far more than I'm comfortable with, but: "cooperate or lose your account".
All that did was make me realize even more how much we need Bitcoin!
10735  Economy / Economics / Re: EU wants to ban crypto anonymous transactions and wallets on: July 22, 2021, 10:21:36 AM
But what I would be interested to know especially from more knowledgeable people like you is if you think this will be implemented and if it will indeed greatly limit the privacy and ability to transact for users who have their funds in hardware or paper wallets and don't want to identify themselves.
I'm required to submit my holdings to taxes anyway, but they don't ask for addresses. It's going to be a lot more work though.

I'm pretty sure none of them believes terrorists who want to buy AK-47s are going to be stopped by this, so the real motives must be towards gaining more power for themselves. And that's the part I dislike most.

I would gladly give away the privilege of pseudonymity if it can prevent terrorist funding and money laundering from using crypto
That's cute. I also want world peace and end world hunger, but since I'm not running for Miss World, I know it won't happen.
10736  Economy / Economics / Re: EU wants to ban crypto anonymous transactions and wallets on: July 22, 2021, 09:59:36 AM
Same old, same old. "Money laundering and terrorism" is always used as an excuse to gain more control over the people.
10737  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Remove Proxyban (evil fees) - email to get whitelisted for free on: July 22, 2021, 09:23:33 AM
Instead of having multiple email addresses for each person who can do the whitelisting, why don't you guys create a shared account that you will all have access to?
I thought about it, but (speaking for myself): I don't want another email address to keep track of.

Emails are starting to pile up. I must say they make it very easy to reject them, if they can't follow simple instructions.
10738  Other / Meta / Re: How does evil fee makes sense? on: July 22, 2021, 07:57:58 AM
It also doesn't prevent them from using free proxies or VPN(s) to create other account(s) so they might actually evade Evil fee, in doing so they'll create useless abandoned accounts.
Wait I think I'm missing something, how does that make abandoned accounts?
If the newly created account is Proxy banned, they'll move to the next VPN and try again. But I don't think the abandoned accounts are much of a problem.

@GazetaBitcoin: since you'll forget this last week anyway, and I don't have time to explain it over and over again, I'll just post this video again: One-Minute Time Machine.
10740  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Remove Proxyban (evil fees) - get whitelisted for free on: July 21, 2021, 08:10:18 AM
I would like to suggest the default message that request a fee for whitelisting should also come with an info of this development.
That was theymos' intention indeed.

Quote
For some reasons this might need a bit of clarity by LoyceV because, my idea of Vouching for someone brings me to the point of standing in for a shortee or like putting in your foot to say, I trust and what ever effect that might arise from this user can be pinned on me. I really hope this isn't the case because, humans do change and the user you vouched for might be good today but turns to something else tomorrow.
I added the "vouching part" because of dkbit98's post. In my opinion it's quite simple: if you vouch for someone, you need to trust they're not a spammer. If you have to worry about what they might do later on, then just don't vouch for them.

Quote
Another issue I'm finding with Vouching someone is the fact that, from the way the forum works, you automatically project yourself to be studied against that user for the build up of a relationship. Either as an alt or merit wise and any evil at all. It doesn't seem so idea to me should tred this part.
If you're vouching for a bunch of bounty hunters, this might be true. But if it's someone on the Collectibles board, a vouch adds credibility.

This is the same as saying it's a personal judgment thing
Of course it is, that's all I can do. But I'm not the only one doing this, so if I don't Whitelist a certain user, someone else may do it.

Quote
there should be some sort of requirements to be a voucher, so everybody would have a chance.
I don't want Bitcointalk users to behave in a certain way to earn certain benefits. It's a bit like running a signature campaign: the campaign manager gets to pick whoever he wants.

Quote
Tagging a defaulter? Like oh yeh this user abused the whitelist system? Is it? Or is there something I'm getting wrong about your answer?
Well, if someone would vouch for a bunch of accounts that start posting malware, that would reflect badly on the user. But let's not get to that, this topic is meant to help the users who don't deserve to a Proxyban. It's not meant to test the limits.

Do you know why we get whitelisted for all accounts? I thought that the link would only appear to newbie members, in other words what is the point of whitelisting high rank members. Huh
For accounts with less than 500 Activity it also reduces the time limit between posts (or reports). I don't think it adds anything for higher ranks.
