Would it? If we got rid of signature campaigns and the only way you could adverse here was via ad slots imaging how much spam would disappear over night. I don't think we need to litter the forum with ad slots but that's essentially what we have right now anyway, only it's done in a destructive way.
I'd love to see before and after statistics of forum activity a month after disabling signatures Would give a nice picture how much activity is 'organic' and how much is mostly signature-driven.

Bump. Here's a scammer who might get away with phishing newbies' wallets seeds seeing how some sections don't have warnings: https://archive.is/FRqgX

I've sent an email to abuse@reg.ru, hope they take it down soon if there aren't any volunteers with time to spare to use other means.

Jak je oceniacie?
Tak jak pisałeś w OP, wychodzi że każdy kto łapie się pod definicję VASPu będzie móɡł w praktyce tylko do z-whitelist-owanych (sorry za potworka słownego) adresów przesyłać kryptowaluty/tokeny. Każda transkacja kryptowalutowa traktowana jak przelew zagraniczny. Limit $/€1000 jest. Dużo większe obowiązki AML/CDD/CTF = rentowność biznesów kryptowalutowych spada, a te co zostają są mniej atrakcyjne dla klienta. DNFBP mają mieć więcej obowiązków jak chcą przyjmować kryptowaluty, czyli szanse że kiedyś większą popularność miałby zyskać BTC przy płatnościach za samochody, nieruchomości czy złoto (tylko to ostatnie jest umiarkowanie popularne) spadają.

In such a case only the hacker's account should be banned and the rightful owner could prove ownership to regain it (or use an alt, whatever).

Z jednej strony jak wtopisz to nie za dużo.
Ale z drugiej strony szanse, że cokolwiek stracisz są dużo większe. Coś za coś.
Ja sobie odpuściłem day trading, za dużo razy prawie bym wtopił.

The point of a ban is that the banned user stops posting for the duration of the ban. If they're allowed to post under an alt account, how is that different from allowing them to post under a newly created account? Either way they're ban evading.

You aren't the first person to come up with a such an idea: Although I find most alt-coins useless, annoying and uninteresting pump & dump schemes I still believe a mutually advantageous outcome can be had. Why not just charge them, say, a quarterly fee of 5-10 BTC for a sub-board or subforum? If 100 users of an alt-coin would chip in, that would only be 0.05-0.1 BTC per person. If an alt-coin is big enough they will find a way to raise the funds, if it isn't, then there's no reason why they should have their place on this forum. They could elect a Moderator among themselves and maybe Theymos* would just write in the board description that people entering that board do so at their own risk, Bitcointalk Moderators wouldn't have to bother nannying them. *if you're reading this, what do you think? The forum would raise some more money The problems which would arise are mentioned by others: 1. A dedicated board could lend extra legitimacy to a scam before its inevitable exit-scam. Solution: only allow old/serious established projects to have their own boards? E.g. ETH, XMR, ZEC, but... 2. ... would there actually be enough demand from non-scammy projects? Many have moved onto other venues: Telegram, Slack, Discord, their own forums, facebook groups, etc. Traditional discussion forums still retain their advantages, but a lot of people prefer more responsive mediums of communication.

Yes, probably a sizeable part of visitors' are Roger Ver's fans seeing how many subscribers /r/btc has which Roger Ver de facto owns (2.6k online, 256k subscribed), but the domain bitcoin.com is still very highly ranked, when I google/startpage 'buy bitcoin' in incognito bitcoin.com is the first result.

Of course, this Roger Ver is taking advantage of the situation. He created the site the same week in hurry with a subdomain and an ugly user interface, looking like a website with a 2000' design, empty with a dozen of offers, and of course all newbies with no trade records. If he wanted to make it in a serious way he would have created a proper TLD, with a custom script or at least something with a lot of more features than currently, and a proper theme. Even me I can do a lot better with a Wordpress, a free theme and free plugins. For SEO purposes I think it's better to use subdomain of a popular domain than registering and ranking a new domain from scratch. It seems to be working because unfortunately most BTC-based P2P platforms have even less activity than local.bitcoin.com.

Do takiego czegoś to można sobie userscript napisać, ale ma to sens tylko dla tych co większość postów napisali w ciągu ostatnich 18 miesięcy. U mnie np. prawie 90% było w 2011-2017. Najlepiej dzielić posty przez merity lub na odwrót licząc posty od wprowadzenia systemu Merit + nie uwzględniać w tej miarze meritów przyznanych za posty napisane przed powstaniem systemu Merit.

Yeah, but what really counts, i.e. his reputation in the cryptocurrency world, well, it's less than stellar. I follow him a bit for entertainment but if I were to send him any money it would be more akin to paying for a circus ticket than expecting a viable product.

Yea, but this guy in question was NUKED not banned so at least under that name he's gone.
I don't know how common (if it at all happens) that a nuked account is unbanned, but I assume theymos has his reasons. You can PM him if you want to, mods are unable to mess with ratings in any way, as should be the case.

Nie do końca. W 2011 jak tu zawitałem to prawie sami mądrzy ludzie tu byli (podobnie na kanałach freenode). Do mniej więcej marca 2013 roku poziom dyskusji był całkiem wysoki i nie było problemu ze spamerami. W 2013 cena urosła z $15 w styczniu do $266 w kwietniu i lawinowo zaczęło też rosnąć zainteresowanie altcoinami oraz w trochę mniejszym stopniu kampaniami sygnaturowymi. Właśnie wtedy zostałem modem, bo ruch wzrósł o rząd wielkości jak mainstream dowiedział się o BTC i każdy chciał coś uszczknąć z tortu, kolejne ATH pod koniec roku wcale nie pomogło.
Jakość postów najlepiej mierzyć średnią liczbą meritów na post licząc posty napisane przez użytkowników od wprowadzenia systemu Merit.
Można jeszcze ew. skorygować to o nie branie pod uwagę spamerskich tematów w stylu Wall Observer, gdzie niektórzy kumulatywnie po kilkaset meritów za shitposty d(ost)ają.

You won't get to see a new child-board if there isn't more relevant activity. I think you'd have more luck if you'd wanted a new child-board for signature campaigns and related stuff. I actually had suggested this a year and a half ago, I'll bump that topic in the Staff section and link to this topic, signature campaign threads are crowding out other content.
I used to be a home miner in 2011-2012 so I can relate having made many a stupid mistake, thankfully people smarter than me did the electrical wiring in the house. I also lost a portion of money I invested in a hosting operation back then, when various projects/investments related to mining and hosting were being undertaken, IIRC all other investors lost almost everything after waiting too long to quit (the guy behind the whole idea was a massive moron).
It's not only mining where newcomers tend to keep making the same mistakes over and over, btw.

A co z użytkownikami, którzy byli aktywni w latach 2010-2017, przed wprowadzeniem systemu merit jak Was tu nawet nie było? Dlaczego mieliby zaliczać downgrade?
|

People can use the search function to find mining hosting-related threads, if there aren't many of them being created or responded to it means they simply aren't popular.
