@OP here is another one. The user BitStation keeps posting the below shit in every board lol
-I have reported some of them.


Mine down to 98%  

I am missing the actual posts. Looks like those posts were deleted (good job, bringing the attention), wish you had an archive.is 

I bet most of these users are either newbies or Jr. Member or possibly Member. IMO the spamming will reduce dramatically if the campaign managers allow only Full member and above raked users for their signature campaigns.

theymos is trying his best to save this forum from these bounty hunters and I believe he will succeed.



OMG, truly professional. Do they have a life LOL

PS: I am a member though lately from yesterday wearing a signature 

Hi there,
I just sent you an email with the subject - Re: [HIRING]developer,Legal & Blockchain experts,economist,translator specialist,etc

Please check your email and if you think the reply worth giving time then feel free to reply my email with your thoughts.

Good luck with the project.

Thank you for all these answers and I am satisfied finding my answers. I will lock the topic now to keep the forum clean.

There should not be any harm to create a bitcoin wallet and to have a bitcoin address. Now a days information are available anywhere on how to create an online wallet and to have an bitcoin address.

Yes there will be a needing for some tutorials of how to sign a bitcoin address. Again it's not gonna be that hard to find one online.

The time when you have created your Jet Cash account and the time now, has really changed a lot.  

Calm down mate. No need to be that rude. Why not politely ask for the evidence against the claim. There must be a reason for the pharmacist to be a DT. You are insulting the whole forum DT system by the admin.

Please be careful on your words.

I agree with you however I guess people will take this very seriously because it's a secret key.

>>> For my Ledger neno affiliate login I only have the Secret Key and I know that If I lose it then I am going to lose my entire account and earned BTC in there.
>>> For my Bitcoin wallet I am very careful of saving my 12 word phrase because I know if I lose any of the word then I am going to lose all my stored BTC.

By the way we will still have these kind of people who will even lose their secret key. By default these people are careless, forum won't need them for good (I guess).


-I hope theymos has in mind of not using an email address to keep us anonymous (those who want to).

it has been about 6 months since my account was hacked and I sent proof.
Legendary account got hacked - 4 months gone - Admin is Sleeping - Wake Up Admin
Account Hacked - No Response From Theymos/Cyrus - Please tag account

Background
Sadly I see a lot of accounts to get hacked. Poor account holders create alt accounts and try to recover their hacked account with the staked bitcoin address (if they signed one before). Unfortunately, if they do not sign a bitcoin address then they never can recover their lost account. I would like to thank Tomatocage for this great idea of recovering BitcoinTalk account.

The current system for recovering a hacked account is manual. I assume we do not have many mods too so obviously it takes a lot of time to get back a hacked account even if you have a signed message on stake your bitcoin address topic.

I learnt from one of my topic that theymos wanted to give us an experience of being anonymous. But with current registration system, we are asked for a valid email address. The leak of the system is, you can create a BitcoinTalk account with an email address that is not even your own, the system do not verify your given email address. The idea of not verifying the email address is, to keep the user anonymous¹.

It is obvious that theymos wanted us to use our Bitcoin address for account registration and maintaining the BitcoinTalk account. May be when theymos (actually satoshi) started the forum that time SMF did not have registration with Bitcoin, login with Bitcoin feature. I doubt if still SMF added this feature.

I guess improving the registration system and login system will help us to avoid the unfortunate account hack issue of the members. This will also automate the entire account recovery system or may be we won't even need an account recovery feature.

The proposal
I have two proposals. Let me be very quick on describing them.

Proposal One Inspired from ledger neno affiliate signup and login page


Registration process input fields

^{Click here if unable to see image}

Instead of the email address field ask for the username.

Once the user submit the data then give the user a Secret Key (system generated) and advice the user to keep the Secret Key safe. Because for login they will use this secret key. It's like losing your 12 phrase of your bitcoin wallet. There will be no need for account recovery.

Login input field

Proposal Two Inspired from a-ads affiliate signup and login page

Registration process input fields will be only your Bitcoin address.
Additionally the registration page can ask for a username.

Login input field

^{Click here if unable to see image}

At the time of login always ask for signing a message in the Bitcoin address that was used for registration and authenticate that message for login. Again there will be no need for an account recovery.

Limitation
Applying first proposal will be difficult (not impossible) in my opinion because every existing user will need the secret key which we do not have now. It is easier when a system starts from the initial stage.

Proposal two is really possible to add with our existing system. Give enough time (may be 6 months or a year, really a long time) to the current users to add their Bitcoin address with the system. Those who are regular they will do it easily and those who are not regular and discover it after the new login and registration system will be implemented, they can use the stake your bitcoin topic and use their staked BTC address to recover their lost account manually. Keep the stay logged in feature so that the users won't need to go though the sign a message process every time to login with BitcoinTalk.


Conclusion
If we can adopt with any of the above proposed registration and login process then account hacking will dramatically drop (may be zero) also the mods will not have an extra load of manually recovering hacked account or lost account.

PS: Apology for my messed up formatting

¹ Does this mean when we create a blockchain.info wallet, we are not actually anonymous? They verify our email address.  

Apology if I am wrong. I think this is not the appropriate board to ask this question. May be ask in Trading Discussion or in Altcoin Discussion.

Mate there are no such statement anywhere that you can not merit an old post so technically you can merit to anything if you want.

Personally I prefer to merit a post which is recent. Every single day a lot of members are really creating good contents.  Since merit thing is directly connected to ranking up so back in my mind I always want to make my sMerits useful for others both for ranking up and giving credit to a post.

I believe you are Igor Chekun (clue the username), the CEO, Founder. From the position you are in, I expected more professional approach from you, not just a one line statement.

Anyway, looks like you need someone who can do PR/marketing consultancy/marketing planning or even a manager for entire marketing section for your project. I will leave my linkedIn here for you to have a look. I will not bother to look at your project for now until you show any interest on me after looking on my linkedIn page. I can assure you my marketing skill. Send me a formal request on my linkedIn with the reference of this conversation, I will share my resume with you if needed.
 
Best of luck with the project.

I can not tell you smf but from common sense I can say if two forum located in two different server then I do not think it will really help. I guess for login authentication you need to communicate with browser's session variable. Same session variable is not gonna work for different server IMO.

It is completely possible to add social login feature for any forum even with smf. If smf currently do not have such feature then all you need to do is hire a developer who can do the job. 

Hi, how about if you are open to move the business in England. I can help you. I will send you my email contact with other info in you DM. Email me details.

Edit:
Ok, here is the issue. Since you are a newbie so I can not PM/DM you.

I leave you my LinkedIn here. I have existing company in England. I can help you however I have to know accounts and other legal details currently you have.  I will also would like to know my financial benefits if we can agree upon a contact.
PS: Feel free to share your email so that we can communicate privately.

The reason is the user still does not have enough activity to rank up. It's only 50 now. To become a member you need 60 activities.

You missed reading this...

PS: I see you are lacking the basic info of the forum. I hope you would not mind to read the first 6 sticky posts of meta board (Click here). It really will help you a lot to understand the forum and will solve a lot of any other possible question that you have in your mind related to the forum.

My local time around 16:35 (GMT+6), BitcoinTalk from my side was offline (error: 502, ray id and etc in on the screenshot).
I checked with "Down for everyone or me" but it said the site is up. I am wondring what could possibly go wrong that only I was offline.

PS: This is first time I have taken an initiative to record the error. Before I when the site was offline for me, I actually did not bother to take a note or bothered to valid if it was only me.

Not sure if there are any website exists that has such function. I would suggest a google search with keywords like "good coffee books from photos" etc.

I am having a thought if you are looking for something like snapefish?

Seems like the Ethereum address is yours and verified successfully however unfortunately, the spreadsheet does not contain the Ethereum address.

Even if the, the spreadsheet would contain the Ethereum address still, I am do not think you could recover the account since it requires singed btc address to prove that you are the account owner of any account. May be any extensive initiative could help, just may be.

PS: Try your best with the last hope you have. From the hacked account post history, try to find the post where you have posted the ETH address (if you did ever). Take an archive.is reference so that if even the hacker change the topic, still you can have the prove. Then update this thread or try any other possible way to recover your account.

Good luck.

Are you theymos's sibling from another mother LMAO

I removed my sig by the way 
You are useless

I like this idea. The ultimate punishment may be a permanent ban. This way the abusers will have fear to abuse the merit system.

The merit system were introduced without any prior notice. Once merit system introduced on the last January 25th we have seem members (even DT members, it was not their fault) were sending merits to each others just to see how the system works. This way a lot of merits were wasted but the people who got merited in that period they still having the benefit (helping on ranking).

IMO before adding "report to possible merit abuser" if possible then reset the entire merits to the initial setting and start over again. Or may be just start over the entire merit system again without even adding any new feature like you suggested.

Members are now more familiar with the entire merit system so there will be less mistakes (may be a very small percentage) if we start over again.
