It has always been normalised here. If we allow it then why wouldn't people do it? There's some serious money to be made from account farming and high-ranked accounts are worth more than ever right now especially when Hero and Legendaries are going to become very, very rare to achieve with the merit requirements. -snip- (oof, that's a mighty wall)I would have expected a sharp decline when the whole "emails can reset passwords for up to 2 weeks" security addition was implemented. The fact that account trades would then need to take at least 2 (+ some time) weeks for a safe transaction (including/excluding escrow) should have dissuaded a lot of users from entering the market. However, it seems that with the merit requirements, users have stopped caring and have decided to farm Jr. Member accounts. A lot of them. And this is essentially a form of merit selling (users wait 2 to 4 weeks in this case).
I believe that the account-trading community/market isn't actually too interested in Hero/Legendary accounts (for now). It seems that the primary form of trading is with Jr. Member and Member accounts, in which the users will subsequently enter a large number of bounties (this is why we see those massive lists of bounty-abuse alts) and spam the forum because they won't have time to post quality content. This, added with the fact that social media accounts are also exchanged without much thought, only further drives the bitcointalk account market. |

We are launching our own version of what people call Crash games, made popular by Bustabit, at https://betking.io We use the same provably fair system as Bustabit. I'll quote RHavar throughout this post. Starting with a secret I've generated a chain of 10,000,000 SHA256 hashes. Each element is the hash of the lowercase, hexadecimal string representation of the previous hash.
The hash of the BetKing chain's last element is 863165db9a59e5720b3ea5659313e1f8c0546d3ef113d0959cb076cc79eec244. Every game maps to a hash in the chain: The 10,000,000th element of the chain is the hash of game #1 and the first element in the chain is the hash of game #10,000,000. To verify that a hash belongs to a game #n, simply hash it n times and compare the result with the terminating hash. To calculate a game's result from its hash: const crypto = require("crypto")
function gameResult(seed, salt) {
const nBits = 52 // number of most significant bits to use
// 1. HMAC_SHA256(key=salt, message=seed)
const hmac = crypto.createHmac("sha256", salt)
hmac.update(seed)
seed = hmac.digest("hex")
// 2. r = 52 most significant bits
seed = seed.slice(0, nBits/4)
const r = parseInt(seed, 16)
// 3. X = r / 2^52
let X = r / Math.pow(2, nBits) // uniformly distributed in [0; 1)
// 4. X = 99 / (1-X)
X = 99 / (1 - X)
// 5. return max(trunc(X), 100)
const result = Math.floor(X)
return Math.max(1, result / 100)
}
Before being used to calculate the corresponding result, each game hash is salted with the lowercase, hexadecimal string representation of the hash of a bitcoin block that has not been mined yet, proving that I have not deliberately picked a chain that is unfavorable for players. The block we will use is bitcoin block 545340Quoted for future reference. Also archived. https://archive.is/I9QXR |

The actions you committed are analogous to that of those in the Lending section that are attempting to get a loan with neither prior reputation nor collateral.
Those users are given negatives.

I would recommend users to create threads in Archival since the board is mainly used as a dumping ground for obsolete threads anyway.
This avoids the possibility of cluttering up Off-topic (which can potentially house non-spam threads) or any other non-primary board.

The token value is calculated as:
I + (P /100,000,000)
Where I is the initial token price after the IC0, $0.09286 and P is the total site profit from all games and currencies at the current exchange rate in $. Now take a look at my questions and see how scam artist Dean Nolan does not answer them: Questions:1) Did you add the total profit of currency value increasement to P? If yes, how much? 2) If you did it, why did the token price not increase for at least 100% while the currency value increased up to 200%? 1) P represents the profit from the BetKing games. The only problem is that the wording is not "P is the total site profit from all games of all currencies at the current exchange rate of $". P has nothing to do with the original ICO investment. That was represented by I, which was locked at the exchange prices when the ICO ended. The above sentiment answers question 2.
Am I missing something here? |

If this is not a problem, I would recommend discussion about Bitcoin regarding its technology (perhaps something with scalability). Scalability isn't easy topic and heated discussion/ideology clash will happen because there are many different perspective. Something easier such as multi-signature and seed/mnemonic would be better. Heated discussion? Conflicting perspectives? Perfect! Isn't that the purpose of discussion? I don't see a problem with showing others different reasons when it comes to something this important in the crypto-space. By divulging ideas to one another, we in turn change the way we think. There shouldn't be a fear of politick. |

A lot of people are banned and a lot of people message theymos. There is a huge backlog. Thanks all for your help, most likely this was the reason for ban. But I see no reason for a permanent ban, there must be a way to restore the profile. Plagiarism = perm ban. There has only been one instance of which the ban has been lifted and you do not have the same kind of reputation. You shouldn't need a warning to know not to plagiarize. |

Feels like this could be considered plagiarism (though it's a bit of a stretch) How does your project work? In details. How exactly tracking goes?
As a result of platform analysis, we developed a borderline solution that adopted the best economy and speed features of POS blockchains as well as Ethereum platform's smart contracts along with its ERC standard. The product developed by us combines advantages of these two blockchains to deliver the best solutions for set tasks: − from the POA architecture our platform inherited speed and logic allowing it to carry out a comparable number of transactions, limited only by equipment's technical characteristics, not by the software platform itself; − from Ethereum our platform adopted security of financial transactions and deals, ensured thanks to smart contracts. Most bans without reason are plagiarism, AFAIK.
Only other item I can possibly attribute to the ban is this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3624392.msg36609428#msg36609428 (which incentivizes posting in the thread itself) although it's quite old. |

Discovered this accidentally while blocking some users that don't like to read. If you insert a newline between names of your ignorelist and update (change profile) the entire list disappears. Of course, this is not a huge issue since browser caches will allow you to rectify this problem by simply going back in history, but I figure this is something to point out. Example of what I mean:  |

Lots of your topics seem to require a degree of depth in the knowledge of a language to properly discuss (without dumbing it down too much). If this is not a problem, I would recommend discussion about Bitcoin regarding its technology (perhaps something with scalability). Far too many individuals have an uninformed perspective on how the system functions/should function (i.e. free transactions, larger block size, how mining works, etc.) and I believe that it is critical to make some of the knowledge more widespread. I have seen far too many people ask how signing a message works, what a node is, etc. (on this forum, no less)
Once 5 threads have been started, then I will open a poll for the community to decide which one is the best, and the winner will receive an additional 25 merits. Poll can be spoil by bots that's why I think that the winner should be chosen by trusted members. That, or replies to a central thread would work. Have it self-modded to disincentivize spam. |

There isn't much point in showing trust in the marketplace if accounts can be sold. "Caveat emptor" is still the watchword if members can buy reputation. I suppose the main problem is that there still exist ICOs that simply don't give a shit about negative trust and will allow those users to take their free shit-tokens (that are generated out of air at no cost) just so they can spew their site over the forum. If managers start caring, then the ICO founders will just find managers that don't. At the end of the day, all that really matters to them is widespread publicity as opposed to making the forum spam-free.
There is point in showing trust in the Marketplace, though. If you know that you're trading with an account that's been purchased (e.g. if your account was sold) then you know to absolve the user of all their previous reputation. Along with that, it also discourages people from buying a load of accounts and consequently spamming the forum (though my previous point addresses bounties). |

If you are willing to spend some of your time to leave a negative trust rating on those account buyers and account sellers who are dealing on threads started on the Chinese local board, I would be glad to provide you on the translation of their conversations, if you are unsure about their conversations on account dealing threads written in Chinese, just write me a pm, and I will provide you with the proper translation. Yeah, there are a couple in which I really can't figure out without actual translation. I'll send the threads over in a bit.
Thus other users could post the translation of these negotiations when they occurred in the local foruns. Definitely do this. Although online translation tools can usually identify obvious instances, sometimes it's a bit unclear what they're saying. |

Russian board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=236.0It is absolutely flooded with account traders. This has become normalized. Turkish board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=155.0This is slightly less account-oriented than the Russian board but is still widespread. I'm not sure how it is in the other Local boards (briefly checked Chinese and French, and there weren't a lot) but this kind of open trading just shows how ingrained the account trading business is in the boards. Not trying to target the countries at all but this seems like a case of isolated ignorance due to the board having a consensus that "account trading is not against the rules" and the fact that few DT members will ever enter the boards. Something something confirmation bias, I assume.

Roulette was personally-developed. Any proof? I don't have the source code, unfortunately. What system would you use to confirm that a product was developed solely by BetKing?  September 2018 scam ICO
October 2018 announcement that they will be developing their own software and features, but likely not this year = 2019. And 2017 to 2019 = around 2 years.
However you call it, if you have $3 to $9 million and a software developing team, then you should be able to have some games installed within 3 months. Hey, so with the 3-month quote you can expect another game to be out by January. There's a huge difference between 2 years and 1 year, 3 months. 2019 - 2017 = 2, yes. But the site was released in Q4 of 2017.  |

Tagged the first one. Though mods should really be handling this. Did you send a PM?

Simply read what scam artist Dean Nolan said! October 2018 = over one year after the scam ICO he announced that they will be developing their own software and features. Not one word about that they already did.  Now please google for the meaning of "will be"? I have no idea where your metric of "2 years" comes from, then. Roulette was personally-developed. The sportsbook, poker and live casino are pooled from third-party developers. Your last statement purely relies on a nitpick. |

For 6 months only Dice running and his team needs 2 years 5 months to work on new games and features while having $3 to $9 million on hand from the ICO scam!  When this scam artist opens his mouth only dirty lies are coming out!!! If you don't want to count poker or the sportsbook as a part of "new games and features" then you can say that it took 9 months ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2150057.msg41038592#msg41038592) to implement. If you're going to say something, make sure it's correct so people can't attack your character as well. |
