If I can say my thought, I think you should ask also this 'feature' in the 'New forum software' and it will be surely added in the new forum. In this section is not noticeable because there a lot of useless topic.
2843  Other / Meta / Re: Should we consider moving 'Beginners & Help' from 'Other' to 'Bitcoin' category on: April 29, 2015, 05:34:21 PM
I do not support your idea because in that section the various users are not discussing only about 'bitcoin' but also other things. Maybe it will be better move only the section a little bit up, instead to move it in another category.
2844  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: i found satoshi nakamoto on: April 28, 2015, 07:38:26 PM
If I can say my personal opinion, Also for me it is not better to know the real identity of 'Satoshi Nakamoto' because I think a lot of people is interested in bitcoin (also) because it is 'mysterious' ... not the code but the creator(s).

This thing will give to bitcoin (itself) a good and unbreakable point and it is a reason because a lot of people are interested in it.

2846  Other / Meta / Re: people "buying" trust without you noticing? on: April 28, 2015, 07:15:23 PM
I don't see why someone shouldn't leave feedback for loans that they complete. If someone borrows 0.01 BTC and pays back 0.015 BTC, make sure you leave that in your feedback. If someone has proven themselves trustworthy with 0.01 BTC, that doesn't mean they are trustworthy with any larger sums.

500 positive feedback from the most trusted members of the forum for 0.01 BTC each, doesn't make that person trustworthy with 5 BTC, maybe with 0.05.

I think another thing people overlook is how absurd it is for escrows to leave positive trust to those who use their services. Completing a deal through escrow requires 0 trust at all, yet you have users like this who now have fairly high trust ratings just from using the same default trusted escrow multiple times. It is much easier to buy default trust through escrow than through lending, the second party in the trade can just be your alt account and all it costs you is the escrow fee, which is barely anything.
There is an arguement to leave positive trust for larger transactions and for more complex transactions in order to leave a more reputable paper trail of the trade however as a rule you should not be leaving positive trust when you escrow.

It is especially absurd to be leaving 5 trust ratings for small trades when he might as well have been trading with himself.


I think it doesn't exist an 'how to' for the trust system, everyone can leave his positive trust (as much times he wants) but it is normal that everyone should also trade with his own diligence and check always the (complete) 'history' of that account.
2847  Other / Meta / Re: people "buying" trust without you noticing? on: April 28, 2015, 07:04:47 PM
If I can say my personal 'story', I gave a loan to an user and he repaid very quickly but after he also started to send me a lot of PMs asking for a positive trust... a lot of things are not changed.

It's normal people do take small loan for mostly for rating. Better lender stop giving feedback for small loan.

Everytime I do trade with new users they always try to forced me to give positive trust. And I mostly time deny that by saying I don't give trust feedback before 3-4 transaction with me. So sometime those user try to do some small transaction with me and I stopped trading with them so they won't ask feedback again. Only give them who are doing really genuine trades.

I think lender also try to do this and stopped giving feedback to trust abuser.

Exactly, now I (rarely) leave a positive, negative or neutral trust to someone (only few cases, because I really trust that user).



The whole lending thread is somehow to gaun trust ratings from another user. Especially the no collateral ones.
For the lenders that want collateral:
Most of the lenders want an amount of altcoin etc as collateral that is 120% of the loan amount. The question is, why dont just exchange the altcoin to bitcoin and use it? Why give someone 12$ for 10$ in a short period of time and pay 11$(+ interest back)
That literally makes no sense at all...


This is why are named "loans". The interest % is normal, and for the question about the altcoin (as collateral) maybe it is because who want s bitcoin wants also to 'save' his altcoin (so he does not want to exchange it for bitcoin).

... phony trust ...

I assure you, my trust is 100% real.  I have earned it, and now I'm making it available those who can afford it.
Save up your Satoshis, don't drug or gamble, and someday you'll be able to buy some Trust of your own.
And I'll be ready to sell it to you.

In the meantime, I thank you in advance for GTFO my thread.



Okay, but if we suppose that Alice will buy a positive from Bob (he is in the defaultTrust list | 2). After Alice will tell that Bob is selling positive trust... what do you think it will happen?
2849  Other / Archival / Re: = on: April 28, 2015, 06:50:57 PM
I am guessing he is out of "dirt" and is trying to do whatever he can to get his negative removed Wink

I don't think it is going to work.

Alt of Quickseller? Make him red Tongue

I do not (still) understand why the real Quickseller has not left a negative trust to that imposter, or maybe he is not trying to impersonate him (I do not know, I am only assuming...).

Sent ticket almost 24 hours ago, no reply ; and no one on skype support either ... ill give them a few more hours, but i dont like to hand my money to such slow support.

I do not really see any unanswered tickets from yesterday right now, we always make sure there is a response for everything that came during the day. I gave my direct email earlier, please send your ticket number to it and I'll see what's up: andrew@advcash.com. Sorry if you have been experiencing difficulties that have not been attended to.

Everyone, if you feel there is an issue that requires attention, drop me a line, it's a much faster and more efficient way than posting here. Sometimes I don't get notifications about new posts in this thread for some reason. Thanks.

Added your 'personal email address' in the first page (only for semplicity, is this a problem?).


This cart is really cool, the unique problem is the bitcoin rate.... but at the end it is a free market Wink.

2852  Other / Meta / Re: Vod became a threat to the stability of the forum on: April 28, 2015, 05:48:33 PM
FWIW, in my experience, if you've made it onto Vod's radar, more-oft-than-not, it's deserving due to some sort of unsavory behavior perpetrated against this community.

Vod for Global Moderator !


Awesome, I also would like Vod as Global Moderator.



However I do not think sell MSDN key is illegal, illegal has another meaning.


I honestly don't agree with Vod's policy on MSDN sellers however I don't think this consistent troll fest against Vod is appropriate.

You really need to look at the bigger picture when trolling Vod.

This is an example of why it is a bad idea to put a lot of effort into calling out scammers. It is a thankless thing to do and all you get is personal attacks and people making up crazy, false accusations against you whose sole point is to get them to stop preventing scammers from being able to scam in the future.

Exactly, everyone can 'make' an error...

Sell trust , What the fu** am I reading  Roll Eyes? In my opinion it is not against the forum rules (because those rules are not clear) but it is not frowned upon by all the other default trust member (and obviously all the community). Maybe I am wrong but this was only my opinion.

My Trust Shop may be "frowned upon," but, as I understand it, so is buying and selling of user accounts.
Other than a trusted account being more expensive than my Bespoke Quality Trust, where do you see the difference?



Hmm... at the end it is (almost) the same thing but it is also obvious that when you (only as example) buy an account  you will buy all 'the account' with his history. Sell negative,positive or neutral trust is a little bit different than buying & selling of forum accounts.

However I do not think you will be able to sell 'bitcointalk trust' Wink.

2856  Other / Meta / Re: I wanted to know how to know the account is banned? on: April 28, 2015, 05:17:10 AM
hi there guys as i see many user`s buying/selling there accounts so i want to know if i m going to buy any account how could i came to know that the account is never banned as the OP every time says that its never banned i want to know how to see that the desired account got never banned .? also i want to know that buying/selling is allowed here on this forum?




The unique possible way is to ask an admin, but I don't think you should disturb one of them only to know if an account was banned or not.

Remember that buying & selling of forum account is really discouraged (you should 'act' only if you know what you're doing).
2857  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can I trust BTC exchanges? on: April 28, 2015, 05:01:37 AM
You can trust any exchange that is listed on Bitcoinwisdom and that has no massive complains in the service discussion subfoum, lik Gox had just before collapsing.

If you want trade btc for altcoins other than Litecoin things might be more complicated


No I do no think, he should not trust (at all) any exchange. He must trust only "himself".



Id trust the exchange what most are using at a certain extent.

I wouldn't use that as an indicator for reliability.

The exchange should be older than 2 years.

The owner(s) should be known.

For legal reasons it might be better to use an exchange that is registered in your country, if that's possible.

Do some research on the exchange you're planning to use. Use small amounts if you want to take the risk and try a new exchange.

Exactly, also mountain gox was the most used exchange at that time (maybe because it was the unique).

Someone quote this for reference Smiley


Quoted for reference.



I do not think he will ruin 'his reputation' or maybe better his forum account (Senior member) for only 0.025 btc,  Roll Eyes if it will happen ... then I am really out (really).

Yes truly, if he would have been a scammer, he would have asked for somewhat around 0.1 or more atleast and after going though his past posts I came across that he repaid a 0.04 loan from jorjito so I feel he will surely return this one, else we all know what's gonna happen next Tongue


Good luck.
