1981  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: YoBit + ETH contract deposit on: July 15, 2019, 08:48:12 PM
i had similar problem with a deposit and support give back my coins after i explain all, wait 3 weeks for a response and 2 more weeks for the coins worth 10$
Hmm... really?

It's surprising that YoBit is willing to still waste their time with support tickets. After all, they have over 2 years of unresolved support tickets. Why start now? Especially with such a low amount?

Scam Accusations are preferable but they will not be as accessible or targeted as a smear campaign.

Consider this:

If a user spots the ICO on Twitter/Facebook/etc what are the chances that they will search for any threads on Bitcointalk? What if they directly go to the website, read it and invest?
I'm not advocating for or against.


If the likelihood of it being a ponzi is high, then proactive prevention makes some sense... but that creates a very bad precedent to follow.

Of course, if inseparable (it's important factor) sentence is larger than 7 words it's a very very little probabilty for two different sentences to coincide
I don't know about that.

We can look at it probabilistically with different words and you'll get a small percentage but that's only if you're considering the entire space of words that could be generated.
If you look at it, however, by what words are likely to follow, you'll have similar sentences

Consider a short reply to something like, "recent bull run thoughts?" (general thread)

The recent bull run * 4 words that would be common frequency
has/is/was (common options)
a/an (common articles)
(adjective)
(rest of sentence)
r9k collapses pretty quickly when you're not diving deep into topics.

There are still many gamblers playing with Ripple so it is not something negative that was added to Stake Wink
All depends on personal preference as well.

The coins that are added are always asked to the community here at Bitcointalk or at our Forum.
It all depends on the scale of which you're considering.

Overall, the inclusion of Ripple means that you're allowing it to be used more... to propagate across the crypto ecosystem for a longer time. Even if you are not a fan of Ripple, that is what is happening. It's like if you allowed Bitconnect as an available coin to be used at Stake.
Yeah sure, but let's face it, Bitconnect turned out to be scam / pronzi scheme Wink
Yes... that's exactly the point I'm trying to show.

I am not a fan of Ripple or its centralized system. A platform that allows the use of it is indirectly (or directly, if you want to see it that way) increasing the adoption of the coin.
This means more usage of a coin that will end up in the palms of corruption.

We already know fiat is garbage. Why don't we know that Ripple is?

See, this is interesting.

My take is that they ask almost every customer for KYC, and only resolve the ones where the customer makes a fuss about it, or uploads documents, regardless of whether or not the customer had "fraudulent activity" going on with their account.

Which we won't know about since these people either don't care that they lost 50-500$, or don't know how to resolve it properly.
Here's an alternative proposal:

Not every customer is asked for KYC.

A small percentage of the pool is "culled" and a participant thereof is asked of KYC. This percentage might comprise of some additional calculations (i.e. blockchain analysis or location-based targeting). The majority of the customers have no problem and may dismiss these complaints as angry/ignorant clients. And since the wallet's name isn't obscure, it can certainly withstand a few "minor" complaints.

Think of it this way: an outright scam with KYC will disincentivize new users from registering. A long con with a trickling increase of victims, however...
What they could do is target polarized users in terms of balance.

If a user has to KYC just to withdraw $10, they might just forgo the money. At worst, they seem like they're complaining about some minute amount.
If a user has to KYC to withdraw $50,000... well, you have a chance of just outright stealing the money, if they're privacy-conscious. At worst, they complain and you allow them to withdraw. No harm done.

I've marked some of your reports as bad since they were duplicates (as in you've reported the same post twice or more) so it could be that.
No idea if it's that. I saw some reports that were marked as bad to which the posts were still up, so it might be something else. The mentioned posts are still up, as well.

There was also one instance where the report was marked as good, yet the post remained (it even had the strikethrough text).
Statistics updated. Vinaa77 with 523 reports, still unbanned.

. It took support a few days to solve my case. So you’d better do not worry and just give the devs some time to figure it all out.


Devs? Figure out?
You don't understand what is going on here lol

Freewallet deliberately is locking funds until the customer goes through kyc procedure. There is no issue to be solved, just a shady behavior
Not sure what's going on with the account, either. Seems like a farmed one (posting a few times every month) but there's these posts that mention Freewallet:

Losing control over the wallet is sometimes too scary. That's exactly the point I wanted to use the Freewallet EOS app because it is told in their knowledge base that they are using a Cold Storage. I think that means they store all the valuable information regarding me and my funds. Since the fork happened I am keeping all my EOS there, except those bits I'm trading.

And the following is in a locked thread... unquoteable without manual intervention.

It was a good time to buy alts at that moment. Just take a look at EOS and the way it is slowly making its way to the top. From the very beginning of 2019 it has been showing growing trend, don't you think it is still a good time to buy some EOS for a long term hold? Should bring some profit I think in a half a year probably. I've chosen to keep mine at Freewallet's app, seems legit: https://freewallet.org/eos-wallet

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, you don't need to actually have or even know BTC to fall for this. If someone receives a email saying that will release stuff about them if he doesn't send $300 in BTC to them, they will just google what is BTC and maybe even buy it just to pay the scammer. If you believe in the email of course.
See: Indian FBI contacts senior citizens for failure to pay taxes on behalf of the IRS, but they can either repay it with Google Play Store gift cards or go to jail.

Unfortunately, scams are so common because they work on so many people. It doesn't matter if 99.99% of the population won't fall for it: the remaining percentage will line the pockets of scammers.

1 block per 10 minutes =
6 blocks per hour =
144 blocks per day =
~52,594 blocks per year

At 1 MB, that is 51.36 GB if all blocks are full.
At 1 GB, that is 51.36 TB if all blocks are full.
And we want 2 GB?
2 GB means nearly 1TB every week. That is quite the expensive node.


Now... the "Moore's Law" argument about improvement to technology may have some merit, but only in a reactive sense.

Proactively anticipating the progression of technology is asinine. You're wagering the decentralization of nodes on humanity's capacity for improvement yet you won't hope for improvements in the Lightning Network? How about that.

What are the exact requirements for you to request a KYC procedure?

If you cannot outline these details (and subsequently record them in your terms of service if they are not already) then how do we know you are not selectively enforcing it in order to fill your pockets?
1993  Economy / Reputation / Re: game-protect gone mad on: July 14, 2019, 07:15:42 PM
Good work but there is a problem. The "Next" link to move to the next page does not work. I think when you created this script you did not have this mind since it was not there then.
The problem was mentioned in your snip.

I haven't updated it with pagination yet

My trust page was feeling kind of lonely recently, anyway. Glad to see some activity Smiley

I will give my detail account  too or whatever so lenders can trust since this is profitable
You saying that something is profitable does not mean that it truly is.

I could just as well create an account similar to yours and ask for a loan... there is no risk to running with the money. That's why collateral is important Roll Eyes
1996  Economy / Lending / Re: I need 0.15 btc loan and repay in 14 days on: July 13, 2019, 06:41:48 PM
I don't see collateral nor do I see any consequence for you, if you decide to run with the bitcoins.
Yeah I don't have any collateral but I will provide my VPS login to see the progress since I run it on VPS
What does progress matter if you have the ability to run away with the bitcoins before any of that?

Reserved.
Current statistics:

Good reports
503 | Vinaa77
65  | bobby1776
63  | bitcoin31
44  | immortal4now
23  | ukboss
21  | Kiweikoo
19  | Starfranko
16  | lizaangel321
14  | muhhentuhhen
11  | Mame89




Where are you getting those stats from? Is that within the last week or month because 11 seems pretty low.

I think it would help if we got something for reporting posts, maybe a badge or something I dunno
11 is low because 10 was the lowest number I was going to rank them on.

The bulk of the reports start on June 24th, with some extras before that.

I've only reported roughly 3700 posts within the past couple sessions so you won't have a lot of high-good users. There's still a backlog of 600+ as I'm writing this.

I know that I'll either go through a few pages of a megathread or through 1-2 weeks of a user's post history. That's why you'll have a few polarized numbers for now.

You're looking too far into it.

They're just a spammer. In fact, if they really want to pad their posts what they would do is repeat "oh my god" and maybe sprinkle some extra punctuation there... perhaps add in a sir or good project.
Post duplication and OCD are improbably linked.
