In the past, they took all loses from the hack for their users, and they paid losses back to their users without issues. Personally, I see 2-BTC withdrawal limit is enough for daily basis. Honestly, I don't withdraw such big money within only one day.

Maybe whales have issues with that but they likely don't feel get troubles by doing KYCs and increase their daily withdrawal limits.

I vote for Binance, OP.

Binance (https://www.coingecko.com) is the good one. You can use Binance, not Binance Dex, without KYC. If your fund is limited, less than 2 BTC and or bigger but you don't imagine situation when you must withdrawn more than 2 BTC each day, you can use Binance smoothly. Without KYC (for less than 2 BTC withdrawal daily).

For decentralized exchanges, you can check at https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges too but most of decentralized exchanges, in reality are not truly decentralized. They are somewhat half-decentralized.

Therefore, in my opinion, it is the best to choose Binance.

But:
Don't store your money on exchanges any longer than your plan to trade.

I have my topic, that is helpful for newbies. Newbies - Read before using exchanges or investing

https websites are not safe, though.

You can increase your security when visiting and registering on websites by using VPN (with Tunnel Bear, example), Tor Browser, and throw-away emails (if you register on strange sites); and don't save your identities online, keep them offline instead.

As I warned, scammers will come back with old methods over channels, not only Youtube.

When demerits and / or deranks happen separately or concurrently, there will be another massive drama in the forum as we saw when merit system debuted.

But you are right that a Legendary is always a Legendary in the eyes of the others, no matter which rank that account wears. We can not deny the fact that Satoshi is a Legendary, forever. The same for Hal Finney, and nearly the same for nullius (who were the most oustanding guys in early weeks after merit system's debut).

For people who run business with accounts in the forum, ranks are not matter. Their accounts' ages and good trust histories make more sense than ranks.

Nearly 2 years for the debut of the merit system, I don't think if one has been actively in the forum during that period, still have not known how merit system operates. In very a few days, less than one week after the merit system debuted, there are dozens of pages in the "Merits & new rank requirement" topic, and many topics discussed about that in Meta board, it is a bit strange if they did not know or see about merit system within that period.

There are only some types of reasons for lack of understandings on merit system's operational fundamentals till now.
- Inactive for too long, shortly before or after the time at which the merit system started to operate.
- They were satisfactory with their ranks and airdropped merits, but recently began to think of ranking up.
- Solely tried to make pseudo-questions to hunt for merits.

I have some but the application form asks for only one, so here you go:
[TIPS] to avoid plagiarism

It is my pleasure to work with you, too.

I agree with you on this. If there is demerit aims at airdropped merits, it should be done with active users only. It is a joke if a Legendary (active one) who made hundred or thousand of posts last two years but have not yet earn a single merit. But there is at least one minus point if we only based on the number of earned merits to judge the quality of one member. Because the one who runs their business here might not earn a single merit but that one might not be a shitposter. As a consequence of a mix of that (inactive good members, active shit posters, active businessmen, etc.), there will be a massive complaints in the forum when airdropped merits will be taken away, I can imagine that.

But if such things implemented and complaints pop-up, I imagine most of them will come from shitposters, not businessmen.

Something like the ratio between total posts made since the merit system's birthday per total counted days. There will be some level of demerit based on that ratio (that can be used to assess users' activities as well as posting activities).
I agree with it, too.

If they woke up and don't do anything else, making new posts or running business or making offers with the others; it is not correct to take woke-up accounts. There are thousands of woke up accounts, and not all of them are scammers or bad ones.
The topic title is clear, bro.
"Good signals to know potential scammers".

For people in that group, they mostly know about crypto through their family members, relatives, friends, or from Ponzi promotions. They fall in greedy mood, without knowledge at the beginnings and don't care to learn about crypto. They just only want to get profits, as much profits as possible in the fastest rate.
It is understandable why they easily fall into scams if they don't know about the bitcointalk.org forum, don't know about the Trust Flag system as well as the Scam accusations.

Companies run their promotions (one of theirs) in the forum through signature campaign that might give them some benefits. To do this and to get as much benefits as possible, they have to hire good managers to increase benefits per capital they readily spend for campaign.

In turn of managers, they have all rights to do anything in their campaigns, with campaigns' local rules in order to maximize benefits for companies hire them as long as their local rules don't break unofficial forum rules.

Usually, each campaign have fixed slots for some ranks but it is not abnormal to see some higher rank users apply for lower ranks in some campaigns. Once again, managers have rights to decide which things to do for companies, and to accept or reject applications.

To sum up, higher rank users can apply for lower rank slots if managers open for such applications but lower rank users can not apply for higher rank slots, probably except when they are very closely to the day of ranking up (but I have never seen such reserved slots for potential next ranks like that, I just imagine about that situation).

Welcome to my collection, DroomieChikito. You did a great guide.

No need for a new icon or new code because with all available codes and features in the forum, you can do it already.

Right click on the Report to moderator button, then choose "Open link in new Tab" (don't left click on that button). Then you will be navigated to the report page and you won't lose your current page (with the post you are reporting to moderator).

It reminds me about the merit button. With it, you have two options to do but both of them navigate you to a new page (merit page). As a result, with merit button, I only do Left click.
- Left click
- Right click to "Open link in new Tab".
I think if the Report to moderator can operate this way, it is good but it is not a vital thing because as being pointed out, you can do this step above.

I don't use Apple's products too because they are expensive (compares to my funds) but the fact is their products have good life-span.
Maybe you have different reasons but I don't like Apple because I want to use products with open-ecosystem.

For Android Os smartphones, if I have to choose between companies out there, I would like to choose Samsung. That is always risky to use smartphones from China, Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, etc. Another choice is Sony but the truth is Sony has nearly been fallen behind in the smartphone industry. Generally, I would prefer to use products from Japanese and South Korea, if not the USA. because they are reliable.

Binance is a good one, for now, but there are the others (older ones) are good too, such as Bittrex.

By the way, you can use the following sites to observe and search for good exchanges:

https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/liquidity/
I recommend to use liquidity as criterion for exchange rankings, instead of by reported volume or adjusted volume.

A good alternative is https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges
With that one, you can filter over exchanges between centralized and decentralized by using the Filter option.
By default, that site gives you a mixed list of centralized and decentralized exchanges, but if you want to search for decentralized exchanges only. What you have to do is choosing the option "Exclude Centralized".

There is another advantage of coingecko is Trust score (Beta) for exchanges. It can help you have a quick overview or impression on exchanges but it is not enough. For your safety, you have to move to the next step by searching for scam accusation on the exchange you want to use, with some keywords:
Bitcointalk.org + name of that exchange + Scam accusation

But, the warning is: "Never store your money on exchanges longer than you have to do". Withdraw your money from exchanges immediately whenever you finish your trading plans. And if you decide to store your money on exchanges (that you should not do), you have to regularly login your account, email and visit that exchange to keep being updated with policy changes on that one. Some exchanges can change their policy and if you don't follow their rules, your account and your money might be locked, frozen, etc.

theymos said ones can send 200 to 300 merits to the others (just an exaggeration) if the others deserve to rank up. He said this in very early weeks after merit system was used in the forum, when people complained about merit sources and merit usages during those days. I remembered that question raised from the merit usages by Question Authority.

I have never seen ones or merit sources send 200 or 300 merits to one user to help ranking up. And as you see above, the maximum merits one can send to another is only 50 merits.

It is so easy to differentiate between right usages and misusages of merits (between legit merit receivers and ones who bought merits). Legit merit receivers earned merits for their good posts. In opposite, the others who bought merits often receive merits with shitposts or very low quality posts. That is not too difficult to realise.

Quoting entire OP is the worst thing to do when you want to reply to OP. My OP does not contain many images but for OPs do contain dozen of images (or large ones), quoting OPs like this is annoying.
