I think I'm having an headache  ... I really can't find other solutions that may prevent these scams and also some remedies to find those culprits to have an immediately filed case for them. Doing business here in the new platform would still be risky and a lot more money will be wasted if the scams will not be forcibly outgone. Two words: use escrow. |

No. There will never be any kind of KYC verification or requirements to connect any social media account to your forum account in this forum. NEVER.
Ahm, No... I'm not talking about directly of having KYC before having an account on this new platform... What I really mean is "The Same" thing as KYC... like some other forums that has GOOGLE+, FACEBOOK SIGN IN and other ways to log on...then after that a CAPTCHA will pop up the same as we have here. Anyone can create a fake Google+/Facebook account with fake data. This won't do anything other than making a hassle for the new users who don't use social media websites for obvious reasons (privacy, mainly). Don't forget that you are on BitcoinTalk, and any kind of KYC requirement goes against the real idea of why Bitcoin was created in the first place. |

If you don't deserve merit, you won't get any. That's what merit was created for: reward those who can do HQ posts, help users, contribute with the forum, etc...
Anyone can make constructive posts if they actually care about having real discussions instead of only focusing on ranking up, joining bounties or making the minimum amount of posts to get paid on a signature campaign.

I thought epochtalk is still under developmental process which is alao discussed by other members as a new forum? And why such we need KYC for epochtalk since it is also a forum? Do we need to invest in a project so that they should require to do KYC?
It's literally in his post. Requiring the users to confirm their ID to prevent scams and helping to catch the scammers. "And also, I think the scams will be prevented and not only that if this thing happens that person can be sued." IS EPOCHTALK RUNNING BY THE WAY?
No. You could see it at https://beta.bitcointalk.org but the link is off. |

If the "Secret Question" is one of the reasons why accounts are being hacked, then why is it still there? More people will get confused whether they will use it or not. AFAIK, the "Secret Question" actually locks your account. So I don't think it's one of the major reasons why many accounts are getting hacked. My guess is that most people are getting hacked because they are using the same password in other websites - e.g ICO related websites/dashboards, which is even worse - or because their computer are infected. I've never seen a tech-savvy user getting hacked here. Mine got hacked by my "Secret Question" .
It didn't. For reference: PSA: ACCOUNTS WILL BE LOCKED IF THE SECRET QUESTION IS USED TO RECOVER IT |

Why instead of showing the trust score only on that section you do not show it on the whole forum?
Even if Theymos activates the visualization in this section, scammers will change section to avoid it. Prevention is better than cure so maybe it's better to enable it on the whole forum.
The main idea (at least how I see) is that someone's trust score shouldn't matter in a discussion (not related with anything that envolves being trusted or requires any kind of trust). s it possible with this type of forum to have popup mouseover? Maybe if you do not want to have the option to see a person's trust on the whole forum (even if I do not understand why) it might be useful to have a mousover window popup appears on a person's nickname. What do you think about it?
Yes. It's possible with pure HTML. |

I do have a question for you Sir,
Isn’t, reddit dissallowing promotions advertising on cryptocurrency ?
They did ban cryptocurrencies ads. But what OP wants people to advertise with posts/comments/discussion and not Reddit itself. Crypto related subreddits are allowed. |

Why is this shitcoin listed in the Bitcoin Services section?
Reported.
Which shitcoin? This is an exchange (or at least a copy of an existing one). |

Please send a link where at registration you must specify a bitcoin-wallet. Thanks
At the forum when registering there is an item where it says that you can restore the account using mail!
Look... it doesn't matter. That's the only way. PERIOD. What else do you want me to say? The admins will only recover your account if you can sign a message from a staked address. THAT'S IT. If you don't can't sign the message, your account will be lost. Is this the better solution? No, BUT IT'S THE ONLY SOLUTION. How hard is it to understand that? |

Does your platform provide trading of these tokens or you just add them on the market?
This website is a clone of ForkDelta/EtherDelta. They utilize EtherDelta's decentralized contract which costs nothing to add a token but are charging 0.2 ETH to "request a token to be listed"; So, there is nothing free in their website and they are trying to scam the users by charging ~$55 for something that is free.Also, how broke are you that you couldn't afford a cheap hosting and a domain name? Why would you host your site on GH-pages? If your websites involve any transactions, I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole.
It has nothing to do with being broke. The website is hosted on GitHub, so using GH pages is more like a "transparent" way of showing that the website is running the same code as shown in the GH source repo. Still, this is nothing more than a clone of ForkDelta/EtherDelta. There are no reasons why you should use this website instead of the original ones (besides the extra 0.2 ETH they are charging you... LOL). |

I understand that I do not have any chances to return an account?
If you don't follow the default procedure (signing a message from a staked address), no one is going to recover your account. Period. |

TLDR: "Decreasing the block time would increase the number of orphan blocks." Decreasing block time decreases the amount of time a newly made block has to fully propagate through the network.
Lets say you have 1 node which mines a block and sends it out into the network. 5 minutes later, the last node on the network receives the block, and starts working on the next one. If you decrease the block time to - lets say - 2 minutes, A node would send out a block and because it takes 5 minutes for the block to make it all the way through the network, a node on the other side of the network may also mine one and send it out before even hearing about the one that has already been mined. Now you have 2 competing blocks in the network. Most of the time, the network will instantly reject the block - an orphan block, but sometimes the blocks we're mined close enough together you can get a split in nodes, one following one block and the other following the other block - This is a fork.
In short this is a means of network security, and 10 minutes was selected as a happy medium between low orphans/forks and a fast network.

I don't think I've used my ICQ login for about 15 or 20 years. Totally forgotten about it honestly. I doubt that my account even still exists at this point! Is that service even still widely used? I suppose if the option is there to include it in the forum profiles, they must still have a large enough presence to make it worth it. For all I know, it has maybe even grown by leaps and bounds in design and functionality and I am just in the dark...  The current forum software is quite old (SMF 1.1.19) and the ICQ option is there by default. I don't think many people still use it, but the option is still there simply because there are no real reasons to remove it. I've also seen a few users who still use it. |

Well thanks guys. I won't use a mixer again. This sucks.
There is nothing wrong with using a mixer. The only issue is when you use a FAKE mixer. Would you stop buying online just because you put your credit card details in a phishing website? Next time search for trusted mixers (e.g: ChipMixer). A simple google search and you would have seen that CoinMixer[.]io is a fake mixer. |

Why superchillin on top 1? I though keyword "Bitcoin Forum" is on top 1, since its more accurate than superchillin.
SuperChillin is the top keyword to the thread called " If you want to Buy a SuperChillin Account, Read this First...." (for obvious reasons). Looks like a lot of new visitors found this forum when searching for a SupperChillin account. But this isn't really accurate. |
