Strange! that guy just recovered his/her account only few days back. Wondering how a Hero members give up his/her account just for 0.015BTC. However seems account has been tagged. This could be a new thing: sell an account, have it tagged for being hacked, recover the account, take a loan, and default on it. If 0.015 BTC is enough to abandon a Hero account, does that mean nobody would buy it for more than that anymore? |

Jokes aside, can't you guys just put each other on ignore? Both of you have made your point and you're starting to repeat the same things over and over. "Ignore" doesn't help as long as there's an unignore button. I've seen it with trolls, and I too am guilty of still being curious when I ignore someone. I still stand by my earlier comment though: Agreed! I think it would be good if several established forum members just get a beer together.
The drama between good members doesn't do anyone nor Bitcoin nor the forum any good. And we all must have some common ground, after all that's why we're here. |

Judging by how steep 1miau's line goes up, you have less than 2 months left. Don't worry, after that your fear will make place for acceptance  Oversimplified extrapolation Remind me on July 1st to create a new graph  |

If the new owner proves trustworthy too, nothing goes against removing the red tag IMHO. Do other DTs who leave red trust for account sales agree to this? I've seen accounts with several years old red tags saying they're bought. How long should an account be active to deserve a review? How much safer do you feel now, before and after, all known account sales have been red tagged? How much more do you trust random accounts now then you did before?
I don't think I feel any more or less safe. What positive has really been accomplished by it? I don't think it matters much. The main thing a red tag accomplishes, is to prevent the buyer from joining a signature campaign and getting paid to spam.. You really should consider that any account you deal with may be sold and get a signed address A signed address only proves the account wasn't hacked. It's easy to sell a private key with the account. I think another reason account sales were good for the forum was the economy that grew around it. It was a very interesting economy and I'm sure attracted many people. It was cool to be able to create actual value by growing your account. The market cap and volume of accounts was high. Account sales were great for the lending economy which created jobs for lenders. It was more ways for people to make BTC and more general cashflow around the forum. Interesting approach, I mainly considered account sales to cause spam, not only from the buyer, but also from the account seller who farms tens or hundreds of accounts. And because account sales happen in dark corners, buyers can't pick a high quality account and ignore the farmed ones. I liked the wild-west style of the forum back then, closer to anarchy, you had to learn to watch out for yourself and be responsible for your own well being.
The forum was a lot more exciting and interesting back then IMO. Your account isn't that old, kinda like mine. I never really thought of this forum as a Wild-West, but the way you describe it doesn't sound bad. I've never tagged an account for being bought, and until now I didn't really mind, but you make valid points. Especially the part about destroying part of the crypto economy doesn't look good. you obviously don't trade here, plenty of physical traders here spend 10's of K with each other regularly. shit I've done deals worth $100K plus multiple times without escrow - you trust who you know, hence why buying a rep is such a bad thing
This. I've known many of the physical bitcoin collectors for years. I even trust some of them with my priv keys. The large majority of sold accounts are "unknown users". I expect most well-known users won't sell their account, and if a well-known forum trader were to do that, it would indeed require red tags because the account has the potential to scam large amounts. But that's not the case for the average "nobody" account that gets sold. |

Fair enough. Shouldn't have fucked up but here we are. Life goes on anyway, will keep working at it.
1st time a decent attitude has come across in your posts.. This will be the only way to get any tags removed fella, time and a great attitude with different behavior Indeed. So (marcotheminer) please stop trying to take on new loans. Despite many warnings that it's shady behaviour at best, you kept making new debts and continued to prove everyone right by paying back late. I'd be happy to remove my red tag if you don't ask for money for 6 months (I don't think -2000 or -1000 makes much of a difference anyway). |

Tbh i don't understand the point of this, before betking.io you had a different dice site with a bankroll of 1-2 million "i think" i don't know why you closed that and started an ico offering such a large amount of profits, and the old site had more players then you do now. A short summary (by heart) from other topics: Dean was tired of running the site by himself, even though it was very profitable at the moment. He tried to sell it several times, but asked for too much, and eventually closed it to do something else. So i can't understand how you went from "successful" to "losing money" By Dean's own claims he earned more than 1000 Bitcoin from the ICO and bought back BKB tokens for 600 Bitcoin. Dean will claim I don't know what I'm talking about, but he also doesn't give detailed information. I've read speculation of Dean losing it in trading, but that's just speculation. To quote Dean: All profit made on bankrolled games will be audited I haven't seen any audit. |

The weakest local boards (in terms of number of posts) are currently Hebrew (between 3 and 25 net posts created per month during 2019) and Skandinavisk (between 21 and 51 net posts created per month during 2019). Really poor numbers, and perhaps some local forum member can provide some insights as to why that happens there (I believe @Iasenko could on the Skandinavisk front). Scandinavians in general have no problem communicating in English, and I can imagine the same for Hebrew speaking forum members. According to Google, 5 million people speak Hebrew. It's just a small number on a global forum. |

I know it's going to be a disaster to enforce and will never be implemented, but bear with me: what if accounts sales would only be allowed if they happen out in the open, with a clear public record of when an account changed hands? Green trust should be reset, a neutral tag added to show the account changed hands, and red trust stays (to prevent scammers from abusing this to clear their trust). If an account was sold in private but gets caught, it broke the "public record" rule and will get banned. The risk of a ban might motivate account buyers to publish the trade. Of course, this would only work in an ideal world, so hilarious' idea to just sell perks to accounts is probably a better solution |

To answer the topic title ("Is staying out of debt, legitimacy?"): No, not necessarily. But in your case: making new debts does not help your reputation.

I was writing it with word file and accidentally posted wrongly with my message. I didn’t intend to post it like that. I like taking serious discussions and thinking how I would relate to it. For what it's worth: I believe you Mistakes happen, let's hunt the spammers who copy/paste, not the users who make a mistake. This can happen sometimes. |

Difficult at it seemed at the time, @nullius’s 31 day merit streak (merited days in a row) has been surpassed by 5 new additional streaks, setting the current record at 90 days! (see below). Not bad, I'm taking spots #4 and #5. The first 2 are Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion regulars, I can't beat those |

Apparently Dean is now telling people that it is a misconception that he promised the terms of buy-backs in the first place. He seems to be claiming people who used them as a USD hedge were misunderstanding the terms of ICO. I've seen so many scammers try to change their story to convince new victims they're just misunderstood so they can scam more people. If anyone has the time, could they help compile a list of quotes of where Dean publicly stated the buy-back policy or endorsed investors understanding of it (especially regarding it being a USD hedge)? I don't have the time to do this, but would like to see such a list indeed. |

I’m not interested in glorifying scammers & ‘their works’. True, but it's very interesting to see the scammer's perspective. And that's why I'll merit his posts, it's worth reading, especially Newbies should read it. It's a good warning not to trust random strangers on the internet. I'm just amazed people still need that warning, that should be obvious by now! |

I was trying to see the quoted messages for myself but it keeps redirecting to Vod's Profile. I think that was not necessary. This is what happens by default if you quote a PM. You can give us the screenshot of your convo and the public can decide whether whose saying the truth. I've been on the internet long enough to have learned the hard way not to trust screenshots. Quotes are fine as long as the source is trusted. |

Dogie is indeed excluded by several Newbies who were last active around the same date. It nicely shows the importance of a Merit requirement for voting power. |

I'm performing database maintenance which could periodically slow down certain things. Post again if it's still notably slow on Saturday. (Though the watchlist is something that's always been not-very-performant. It helps if you edit your watchlist to make it smaller.)
It's back to normal, loading takes about a second but that's very acceptable. Locking thread. |
