Now let's examine what are the options that we have. BTC-e was originally based in Kiev (Ukraine) and they later moved to Bulgaria. I don't have the information for Wex.
In case we want to file a lawsuit, should we do that in Russia, the United States, Ukraine, or Bulgaria?
Didn't they also do business out of Cyprus and the UK? Eventually settling in Singapore (wex). And they're Russian nationals  edit: at least one of them has a Byelorussian passport though BTW, they're running a new exchange now, velvet.exchange. https://bitsonline.com/velvet-new-wex/ |

I think Vod should take the loss, and remove the counter rating for OgN -- it is not appropriate.
A counter rating (to counter false 'risked BTC' figures by people who were not party to the transaction) should only have been left if Vod believed OgNasty to be a scammer (or if OgNasty were to lose control of his account), which doesn't seem to be the case here. A more appropriate measure would be distrusting people whose ratings Vod doesn't trust. That's how the Trust system is supposed to work, negative ratings for scammers, and a removal from one's own Trust list of people who have poor character judgement, or who leave inaccurate ratings. |

It seems pretty overtly clear Vod has a years long pattern of lying to justify his abusive behavior so, I am not sure why this is not part of your calculation here.
I don't really fully trust either of them.
So unless theymos did trade 100,000.00000000 BTC with sirius or 10,000.00000000 BTC with gmaxwell then my theory is valid, and I highly do believe these numbers were never actually traded, thus the word "you" there is simply a poor choice of words , or Theymos does not follow his own guideline.
You are making a mistake in assuming there are a set of rules that apply to everyone that govern this forum. The rules are whatever those in control say they are at any given time. We don't have rule of law here, we have might makes right. Theymos has been involved with Bitcoin long enough that those figures are likely to be true. Trust ratings also are not moderated. And yes, for better or worse (the former, all in all, IMHO), theymos has the final say over how this place is being run. |

Every time Vod accuses OgNasty on the forum of harassing him on social media, OgNasty denies having done so. Either one of them is lying, or someone's having fun of impersonating OgNasty.

He ran the mixer for over five years without major issues, I'd guess the site will come online soon to allow people to withdraw money. I sent OP a PM with a link to this thread and the other one with people complaining about not being able to withdraw their coins (he was last online ~30 hours ago).

As long as Hhampuz continues to have access to the campaign funds for a reasonable time (or is able to return the money from his own pocket to the person/people behind BestMiexer if they return within a reasonable timeframe, especially since it seems no arrests have been made), I'd say there's no basis in labeling him as a scammer.

And Lauda is in a good position to say that  Are they running a major darknet market, or providing a similar service? Otherwise that's nothing more than untested overconfidence speaking |

That's just a propaganda/scare tactic. It's not even that hard to stay reasonably anonymous today. The problem is when you get comfortable (among other things); that's when these people make mistakes and they catch them.
If you're an average user, sure. If you run a business which brings a lot of unwanted attention of well-funded adversaries, it's a significantly harder task. |

Interesting to hear, let's see how long it stays that way.
There have been Bitcoin ATMs in Poland for over 5 years now. The only restriction Bitcoin ATM operators must observe is that each transaction cannot be over 15000 EUR. But since no KYC is collected it's really a non-issue.
BTW, it'd be good to hear of some kind of a reassurance by ChipMixer that they aren't going anywhere, I hope they are unaffected by recent events... |

1-where is my negative rating dude?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=195711From bathrobehero: Rented his rig on miningrigrentals which went offline shortly after (lost 87.46% of the total hashrate I paid for) and he told me he would refund me but he didn't so far and refuses to answer me both here and on miningrigrentals despite being active daily. |

nobody plays games??!!!!!
1. You have a negative rating on your Trust profile and no relevant positive ratings. 2. There's a risk your Steam wallet has been fraudulently funded (stolen cc, etc.). 3. There are already more reputable places where people can buy Steam wallet funds with at a small discount. If you offered a discount you'd increase the likelihood of someone being interested in your offer. |

Przeczytałem cały wątek, ogólnie nie wygląda to najlepiej, im dalej w las tym gorzej się to czyta. Ogólnie trzeba liczyć się z tym, że każdy przejaw jakiejkolwiek nieuczciwości skończy się negatywną oceną Trust. Przyznam, że sam zaczynam mieć wątpliwości np. po tym poście, do którego link tam znalazłem: Czy bounty jest juz aktywne? Nie widze zadnych informacji na ten temat. Prosze o potwierdzenie bo nie wiem czy to jeszcze aktualne szczegolnie w zwiazku z ostatnimi problemami z portfelem i podzielonym chyba lancuchem Masternodecoin. jakies informacje w tym temacie?
Jak na (z tego co rozumiem) rosyjskojęzycznego Mołdawianina całkiem dobrze posługuje się językiem polskim. Do tego brak polskich znaków diakrytycznych, z którymi programy tłumaczące nie mają problemu. Dalej odpiszę w wątku o systemie Trust. |

This is pretty bad if they're shutting down after five years mere days after bestmixer's shutdown.
If I had to guess they had some loose ends as mentioned above, or their hosting service is no longer OK with being associated with them.

Local Bitcoins has many employees located in the US and in jurisdictions the US can exert pressure over. If a company such as Local Bitcoins were to help a company evade sanctions, it would be sanctioned, and would be unable to use the banking system, including to pay for hosting, payroll and the like. The US could also sanction its employees, who would be unable to use any bank.
In short, PR is the last thing local bitcoins would be worried about if it was on the OFAC sanctions list, or was otherwise sanctioned by the US. It would fail almost immediately.
LBC has any key employees outside Finland? Last time I checked only some of their customer support employees were located abroad, and only in poorer countries. They could just stick with smaller EU hosting companies without US presence. lol, you think anyone would use localbitcoins anymore if the USA designated them as a sanctioned entity? they would be a complete pariah. it would be an immediate death sentence for their brand. the banking system and paying overheads are an afterthought since sanctions would immediately kill all customer demand for localbitcoin's services. like i said, PR nightmare, one which would never be recovered from.
People outside the US would still use it, maybe even more gladly so. When they got blocked in Russia they posted instructions on how to evade the blockage: https://localbitcoins.com/blog/roskomnadzor-bans-localbitcoins-in-russia/If they really wanted to they'd come up with something. Meanwhile UK-based hodlhodl.com, even if they're irrelevant, decided to take the initiative and welcome Iranians with open arms: https://medium.com/@hodlhodl/hodl-hodls-official-statement-for-iranian-traders-9429603079c |

What happens to the Bitcointalk.org domain name if Cřbra disappears?
If no highly reputable person is able to re-acquire it, I imagine the forum could continue functioning under a different domain name. It wouldn't be the first time, too. |

I'm asking because most sites eventually start requiring KYC as they grow bigger and start attracting more users.

Równie dobrze można stracić, zwłaszcza że duzi gracze w BCH i SV mają dużo więcej do powiedzenia/wpływów niż w przypadku BTC. Od gówna lepiej trzymać się z daleka |
