Can you provide any context? Do you have some kind of dispute with the person?

You can report the post tp the moderators to be reviewed. You should also contact the police if you believe your live is in immediate danger.
That's all, he just PMed me today with that, this is the first time I saw his profile. It is okay if I can post the user's profile here?
Sure, but you will need to report the PM to the moderators if you want any real chance for anything to be done about it.

If there is no additional context, that is the entire message, and you are unaware of any reason for him to want harm to you, I don't think this breaks the rules.

Again, if you feel you are in danger, you should contact the police. Banning the person is not going to remove any danger, if it exists.

The first thing that I thought about the way it was presented in the headlines here is if it's true or if it was a false flag. Because really, what does Iran gain by shooting down a US drone?
The Iran government had admitted to shooting down the drone...

If Hhampuz wants to go on the record

So we're back to "he hasn't denied it so it must be true" bullshit Smiley

No. it is not reasonable to assume what is being suggested is actually true. Further there is blockchain evidence of the theft.

I have no idea what you are saying. It is not a complicated concept that a person needs to pay for living expenses on an ongoing basis. It is also not a complicated concept to expect a person to not be able to use all of their income to go towards a loan.
Is it possible that Hhampuz is in a position where they are not the ones paying for all/most of their living expenses?
If you are looking for an excuse for saying Hhampuz is innocent, then sure, his landlady actually pays him for living where he lives. Realistically, looking at the blockchain around his known addresses and other public information, I can confidently say this is not the case.

If Hhampuz wants to go on the record to say that he has no/few living expenses, or some other excuse others have offered for him, he is free to do so. If he does make this kind of assertion, unless there is evidence to the contrary, it would be unreasonable to not accept it as fact, however without the assertion coming from him, the mere possibility falls outside of the scope of reasonable doubt. If he were to make an assertion in his defense that is shown to be untrue, he would be shown to have lied, and it would be additional evidence he is trying to cover up what actually happened.

The loan is only evidence of a motive. There is blockchain evidence to support the underlying accusation that remains true regardless of motive.

Trump just tweeted that Iran made a big mistake.

I would presume the US military is going to respond. The US cannot let its enemy do what can only be described as an act of war and us not respond. If we do nothing, these types of attacks will continue and will possibly escalate.

You do understand that your "ennemy" simply dared shooting a drone that you flew over their country right?

How can you prevent such "attacks" from continuing I wonder...

MAYBE BY NOT FLYING A FUCKING DRONE OVER THEIR COUNTRY??
The US position is that it was flying in international airspace.

I trust the US government more than the largest state sponsor of terrorism (Iran government).

Respond with missles and air strikes. No boots on the ground
This would be most idea, so that few American lives are at risk. However even air strikes risk retaliation by Iran against military bases we have in the region. I believe we have military bases in both the UAE and Saudi Arabia, plus we have military assets in the ocean nearby.

Hhampuz has other bills. The money could have been used to pay for his various living expenses so that his forum earnings could be used to solely repay the loan.

I don't really understand where are people actually coming in your defense when you look clearly confused and jumbled in your own thoughts trying to shuffle things and repeat back the same music you've had been constantly singing since you tried to inflame things here. Why are you blaming Hhampuz when you're not clear whether you know his actual earnings are more than what the repayment amount was? As well, one more question here:
Do you personally know Hhampuz?
As that's the only way someone can be very thoughtful and known to things like ^bills and living expenses^ as you've described here so clearly in your words. It's actually weird because everyone here has a life, so there's nothing new that we heard.

I would like the ability to click on a link on a post that starts a PM to the author of the post that says:

Hi [username],

Regarding [link to post]

One click links on a post to view a person's post history and thread creation history would also be nice. As would a one click link to a user's gettopics link from a post.

I strongly prefer something that can be run from greesemonkey.

Thanks.

That wouldn't be too difficult, I can repurpose https://github.com/Initscri/BPIP-Chrome-Extension/blob/master/content-script.js for this

Icons or just text links?
Text links are preferable. Thanks.

Update on the tax allegations?  Shouldn't I be in jail by now?
Be careful, Vod might open up a frivolous Flag against you saying he thinks you are a high risk because you don’t pay your taxes, even though he has no evidence of this.

I guess the promised tax situation update was just another lie.
That would appear to be the case.
1191  Other / Meta / Re: Enhanced merit UI [1.1] on: June 20, 2019, 05:25:23 AM
I have combined my own suggestion as well as sncc's and modified grue's script to implement them.

This is the result:
Loading image...

The available sMerit points are shown. 'Available' is a link which opens the default https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;msg=30923337 (with the corresponding msg) in a new window to keep the original functionality.
As an FYI, if you are a merit source, this will not account for your source merit, and will only display your accumulated sMerit.

This is a script I will be using. I like not having to deal with a popup every time I give merit.

1193  Other / Politics & Society / Re: U.S government blames Iran for attack on oil tankers in Gulf of Oman on: June 20, 2019, 02:56:49 AM
This news peace actually was very weird for me, I cant seem to see the logic of Irans attack. They say that this is because they want the sanctions to be lifted, i honestly cant see how this can help.
The Iran government has recently threatened to carry out something very similar in recent months, and has made these threats multiple times.

The logic of how this would get the US to lift sanctions is these attacks could disrupt the global economy by preventing oil from passing through the area of the attacks, increasing oil prices. If the US wants to be able to have oil resume safely passing through the area, it will need to lift sanctions. The theory is that Iran is basically using extortion with actual and the threat of further violence/property damage if sanctions are not lifted.

I am not sure that post was even on topic for the thread it was posted in.

My issue with the post is it was posted as text without any kind of attribution. In my experience, most memes are shared as pictures so they can be quickly shared. Most bounty campaigns have minimum post length requirements and posting the post as a picture would not get the OP credit for the post. Attributing the post as a meme might otherwise disqualify the OP from receiving credit if his posts were looked at closely. The other post, posted a few hours earlier very clearly indicated the writing was not his.

Every lender has the right to put his/her/their terms. It's up to them if the no collateral loan is worth the risk of getting scammed, rather than trust-farming (what I believe you are suggesting here).
Right, lenders have the right to lend on their own terms as they wish.

The point I was making is that the OPs loan request is not automatically a scam attempt on its face. If someone lends to him, the OP may not repay the loan. But it is not a foregone conclusion that he will run away with whatever money he receives.
1196  Economy / Lending / Re: Urgently wanted loan to pay Education Fees on: June 18, 2019, 08:21:19 PM
Get back in your cave QS, default trust decisions don’t concern you any more.
here is another example from another lender
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3243635.msg51396967#msg51396967

There are plenty of examples of people in similar situations as the OP repaying loans similar to what the OP is asking for.

This is in no way an appropriate use of the trust system. The changes to the trust system results in your abuse not having the same impact as before, but this is still abuse.

I don’t care if it’s a Hero Member, I’m tagging it. If anything it’s more likely somebody will loan him the money because he’s a Hero so as DT1 I owe it to the community to make them aware.

No collateral loan request = Scam potential.
A loan request is not automatically a scam attempt. The scam attempts that are frequently seen here are those made by throwaway accounts.

It may or may not be a good idea to lend to the OP, that is up to potential lenders. There are plenty of people who have received no collateral loans recently.

Also, in general, people asking for loans that warrant a negative rating are typically given the opportunity to first close their thread or offer collateral, or provide a reason why they are not attempting to scam.

I’ll change it to neutral if he locks the thread. He has no positive trust & it’s not a highly respected account so I fail to see why he thinks he can get a loan with no collateral.
Here is an example of someone receiving a loan with nearly zero trading history

Hi DireWolfM14! Smiley

Username: Asu
Loan Amount: 0.07 BTC
Purpose: Trading
Collateral: None
Repayment date: July 7, 2019
Repayment Amount: 0.075 BTC
Funding Address: 1Asu1mGNkLctuTmCebzwPpdRfMemZzobWA

change to my binance address: 1McxEqfUwGNXzLRhewqG96aqr5HzEYFknJ

Hi asu,
Thanks for the loan request, I just sent the funds to your binance address.  Thanks for signed message you sent via PM, that helps.  

Please send your payment to this address: 3MiRqZZ3y1dNqWqi4e1jkSYYPprTzns41b

TxId: 89199ebe401d8162bc2ddf6332eb5498d582a18b4f2a4f5afc04edbb5c063879

Received it!

Thank you DireWolfM14!

Paying my loan today!
As discussed via PM you granted me to have 1% interest if I paid today for a week loan.

Txid:
795daecfe5a20d64bd5961cea8abc57dc4dc72498f5efd523f467bf849cfc47c

Until my next loan again Dire! Thank yah Kiss

The loan was repaid. I wouldn’t personally have lent to either this person or the OP, but I am more conservative as to who I am willing to trust.

It would be insane to trust someone because they are “respected”.

100% inappropriate. The OP of the thread is not posting from a newbie account/throwaway account.

If someone decides that guy is a low risk they may decide to lend to him. I’ve seen others receive no collateral loans.

He may it may not be untrustworthy for other reasons but the loan request is not appropriate.
