Great tips to earn merits and rank up, keep it up bud.

Just a Bump from my side to this well explained and organized guide to rank up.

That's really cool, forums payment system works pretty well. Even if a person sends wrong amount of BTC to the payment address, system will detect the difference and notify about it.

---

I was thinking what happens if a person sends more than the listed amount of BTC? I think than it would surely be marked as a donation to the forum in case their is no refund.

Ok, I see

He is notified about the remaining 0.0005BTC pay, to send it to a new address. Hope it works out when he pays the remaining fee.

Your transaction ID shows you have sent 0.00625676 BTC, to the forum payment address but the payable amount for a copper membership is 0.00675676 BTC, at the same time it's clearly written on the payment page that "Bitcoin network fees and exchange/wallet withdrawal fees will not count toward your payment.".

Your payment was transferred from an exchange and most of the exchange have high withdrawal fees, this eat your rest of the BTC as Tx fee and the correct amount was not transferred to the listed address which stopped the system from triggering your copper membership application, also it is fully automatic.

I think you should re-buy the membership by sending the full amount again with exact number of BTC and your last payment could be counted as an donation to the forum.

That's just an another way of thinking, but there are some net positive effects to the forum if a user buy a copper member account, it affects the BTC storage and income of the forum which can be later used in the betterment and spam management too.

I think there is nothing bad in promoting the sale of copper membership.

I think this project is fake, please be aware until the owner of the project clarifies the above issue.

Newbies can surely see it if they click on the link.

Trust list suggestion was announced by theymos here and



Newbies could not see this trust list suggestion page directly they at least need to read the rules listed in the sticky thread by lauda on Beginners & Help section or the announcement from theymos above. I will try creating a thread about it in the Beginners & Help explaining its usage to newbies as there is no other dedicated one.

I have noticed an interesting feature about the link to the trust list suggestion.

Every time you click on the trust list suggestion link or refresh the suggesting page the list of suggested DT members keeps on changing randomly. This makes the system more free for newbies and gives every potential member a chance to be on a forums suggested trust list.

The current forum software surely has a non-userfrindly messaging layout which make it very hard to keep track on PMs received and sent by a same person. At the same time quoting a previous message needs users to find the message to be quoted from a bunch of other PMs by other members which makes the working more annoying.

There are many great features for PM sorting and handling which we can add to the existing messaging layout and make the user experience better.

But, I am recently testing the new forum software Epochtalk and most of the features you suggested above to be added to the PM layout are already implemented there.

I tried testing the working by sending some test PMs.


The new forum software already contains some upgraded features in the PM section, which includes tracking the PMs of a single users in one layout and not jumbling all the PMs at one place. You can track all the sent and received PMs at one place ( no different inbox and outbox)

But, I was unable to find any PM quoiting feature there, if I am not wrong it is just not implemented or suggested yet.

---

A suggestion from my side would be adding a message forwarding feature like telegram, from which we can verify if the message is legit and sent by the quoted sender only. Now, there is no such option to forward previous PMs, the only option to check the legitimacy of the PM is to report it to the moderator.

Bitcoin address are one of the main part in the working of the forum. If a person could not verify his BTC address by signing a message means he could not recover his account in case its locked or hacked. It is one of the important criteria to recover a account along with the original email so adding it as an filled on the Bitcointalk profile is a pretty good suggestion.

But this was already suggested by OgNasty to theymos, and theymos thinks PGP keys are insecure and it needs a revision.

Great info, I didn't found any other previous thread related to the Petrol function. Its probably very useful to track the latest posts in any section of the forum. Most of the people who like reporting a bunch of posts per day could use this function to keep track on the latest post and find the scams as early as possible. It can be used in many more positive ways too.

Found a correction: Fixed
Replace the link here to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=8.0

There is too much of abuse in altcoin bounty section by using duplicate entries even in the signature campaign. If a person is registered in a campaign with X name, some spammer could try applying again with the same name and a campaign manager can easily overlook this type of multiple entries. And at the same time if a spreadsheet is private, it would reduce this abuse as the participants are hidden (as per I see). Many participants already abuse bounty campaigns with multiple entries even today.

I vote NO

I think it is not that important to make the signature campaign spreadsheet public as the campaign totally depends on the campaign manager, the project they are promoting and the participants of the Campaign which makes it of no use to others basically.

I would like to list some of the advantages of keeping the signature campaign spreadsheet private.

1. Avoids duplicate spamming of any type in the campaign.
2. Reduces the scam attempts of non participants towards the campaign.
3. Rewards or the funds distributed remains totally private, which is advantageous to some projects and participants too.
4. Non participants could be avoided to engage in the working as they can spread FUDS.
5. Total control remains in the hand of the manager towards the accepting of participants to distribution of rewards and that's what a manager is appointed for.
6. Some of the issue about the camping can be solved without making a bubble out of it.

There is nothing like secret mod, it's all public and you can check if a person is a mod or not by looking at his profile and title on it. As per I know there are 5 administrators who have the ultimate power to moderate on any section which includes Cyrus, Hilariousandco, mprep, Mr.Big, and theymos, than there are mods for specific section or board, also some local mods for local language section. But suchmoon is not a mod for sure.


Most probably due to off topic posting, if you think the post was on topic you should create a thread including the content of the post about why is it not off topic or something like that.


I think just knowing who reported it would not change the fact that they are deleted. As even if anyone else reported the post, it was still to be deleted regardless of the change in reporter.


I don't think any of the reported posts are auto-deleted at all.

~ Convenient entry fee for individuals: 0.005BTC

Just to let you know the logic:

The OP first had a different BTC address where 2double0 wanted the loan to be funded, which was bc1ql4gn6r75sydqwe99qz6nc44mvkzcfc4hqwqn3y posted by him here.

So, I asked the test transaction form the Old BTC address as he needed the loan to be funded to a new one. But later he said he can accept the loan on the old one too so sent it there by confirming the address once.

But later the OP of the thread was edited by 2double0 with the old BTC address confirming his access to it by sending me a small amount of BTC.

---

I know that and have a more better and easy method than this to get private keys from blockcahin.com. You just need to set a PassPhrase to your wallet on the blockcahin.com. Put you're pass phrase on BIP 39 Mnemonic Code and you will easily get private keys to all the BTC address linked with your blockcahin.com wallet and later you can sign a message with the Private Keys for sure. Hope this helps you.

But 2double0 just sent me some minimal BTC from the Old address which made the deal quick.

The account you stated has a connected BTC address: 398v1JLr8nk87nPGinbTfFxYgHYdkxJaXT

The interesting thing is, the same address was used by a hero member account 77kdub here.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4453586.msg40047517#msg40047517 (archive)

Above linking confirms that the account wilburwilbur is an alt of 77kdub as they both use the same BTC address.

This takes us to the trust ratings of the 77kdub which says

Trust Rating by nullius

It looks like a similar merit abuse which was done by the same owner in the past here. And he has been doing this from much time now.

Accusation Link by nullius:
Humber*, CasinoExpert, et al.: Alts, account sales, merit abuse, etc.

As per I see an alt account of an red-trusted member should have a red trust rating to warn about the risk of trading.

Yes, I too prefer dealing here on the forum itself to keep the deals public and open to all if any problem occurs later. But in this case both of us wanted to exchange some images to confirm the address which was pretty easy to deal with on telegram than through forum. So I preferred contacting him on telegram and later confirmed it on the forum.

But I will try to keep all the trade related conversations on the forum in the future. Thank you for your advice by the way.

Yes, I can forward some messages confirming I chatted with 2double0 only.

@Avirunes please let me know your telegram ID, so that I could forward you the message and you could confirm it with my screenshots.

Yes, I agree just have same telegram and twitter username do not mean the accounts are owned by same owner.

But how can one explain the coexistence of the the same DGB address on both the profiles here?

---

I too think the telegram conversation in the OP looks some what edited as none of the DT member will ruin his repo by asking funds to remove a tag.

Thank you for confirming and helping me to verify. I hope your confirmation would be trusted by most of the people here.
