If you sell your account and one buy it, the forum community will realize it shortly. Beyond the writing style, the buyer will be unable to keep update your useful data and your lists.

Yes, that is a very funny deal that one had.   

Today, I added a new point in OP:

[9] Pay your attention on very early signals of scam exchanges

I meant, when one legit exchange starts to turn into a scam one, it usually shows very early signals. They are sort of very strange requirements and abnormal responses to their customers' supports, something like that. When you see it, I believe it is very early signal of highly potential scam exit.

A legit exchange can turn into a scam one in a minute. They can do it instantly if they want (with so many faked, nonsense accuses).

There is a very good example for the point #9: the Crypto Bridge exchage: https://crypto-bridge.org/

I will give you a very brief summary on their scam progress.

1) They required KYCs on US citizens
https://mastersofnodes.com/cryptobridge-applied-kyc-for-us-citizens/
https://medium.com/@JimmyMcShill/bypassing-cryptobridge-kyc-a3b3cf22b0f3
Fortunately, US citizens allowed 2 weeks to withdraw money from Crypto Bridge (that time) if they don't want to do KYCs. It's good, IMO.

2) They required KYCs on all users (not only US citizens) and KYCs (this time) will be verified by a third-party company - Fractal ID.
Crypto-bridge.org KYC scam !
It is terrible to see they announced KYC requirements on 1st Oct 2019, then instantly disabled accounts that did not verify with KYCs. Without a transitional period for their users.
This time, it is terrible! You don't verify KYCs, you lose your money!
It is your responsibilty, not Crypto Bridge's.  

3) They announced to shut down the exchange:
But at least, to be honest with you, I still respect them because they announced that any social media accounts from now on are faked ones (they closed all their social media accounts). At least, they don't let their customers get scammed by the other scammers. At least, at somewhat extents they still care about their customers. At least they still allow their customers a period of 2 weeks to withdraw money.

---

In a nutshell, all things have gone with a process, and if you are aware of very early signal (with KYCs on US citizens) and if you are non-US citizens, you had a great chance to withdraw your money in February or March, without KYCs.

They even did not allow their users a time frame to withdraw funds without KYCs before the KYC requirements on Crypto Bridge officially was in effect. Instantly, when they announced KYC requirements, all of their users have to do KYCs if they want to be eligible users and have rights to withdraw funds from CB. That is more than ridiculous.

The lesson from Crypto Bridge is another lesson (new one) for newbies that storing funds on exchanges are always the worst idea. Basically, exchanges can turn into scam whenever they want.
They did it when they required KYCs on US citizens (they allowed some weeks or one month as I remembered), months before the KYCs on all users. I don't know why they changed their approach for the second KYC requirements on all user. Maybe they decided to announced and made it went in effects instantly as consequence of failed attempts to steal money with KYCs on US citizens months before.

How about users who did not verify KYCs through FractalID or failed to verified? Can they get your support to withdraw their funds?

For people who successfully verified KYCs, they can easily withdraw their funds.

From what I observed, the Roobet.com team have very good attitutde and fastly well responses to what happened and pointed out recent days. They don't blame on anyone else like what mostly scam sites will do. In contrast, they have concentrated to fix reported bugs. I appreciated that.

But if there are bugs, more bugs that have not yet been found (let's assume there are more bugs), they have to spend more time to find them because such bugs will put dangerous risks on two sides: Roobet.com team and their gamblers. Their gamblers might get losses from bugs while they deserve to win (if there is no bug). In contrast, Roobet.com team might suffer losses if some gamblers find bugs and exploit on the site's funds.

At least by now, I totally supported Roobet.com team and their attitude.

Reapplying (I am a participant on previous weeks). Thanks Hhampuz.

If it is not the MintDice site's problems (that I don't think it is either), there are some most likely reasons:
- Internet connection (unstable and disconnected sometimes).
- Devices overloaded (after long operating time, ie.)
Because if it was the MintDice's problem, I think more gamblers most likely complained about that.

Please don't clog up the topic with nested quote. Please read my guide and avoid nested/pyramid quotes ([TIPS] to avoid pyramid quotes (for Newbies)). If you care about it and have time, please edit your above post too.

Correct! Fake question and genuine question are different initially. Sometimes I see users sent 1 (usualy 1) merit to OPs that ask questions for basic terms or recommendations how to start off in crypto. I am not those merit senders but I guess they sent merits to those OPs because they felt those questions are genuine ones and they sent merits as kinda motivation to genuine newbies.

Thank you, @SRF10. I added those details in OP.
Of course, I will change my password if I find out strange activities with my account (log-in IP, and strange PMs in my Outbox).

For one who don't know how to check your log-in IPs (for the last 30 days), visit that page after logging in your account: https://bitcointalk.org/myips.php
Make sure you choose the option: Limit your IP retentionn (Profile --- Account Related Settings --- Choose that option)

Sure, good users will definitely reach their next ranks, to the top (Legendary) too. The matter is time and the merit-earning rate of each user, the higher rate one has the faster that one will hit next above rank.

For OP, if he manages to earn 2 merits for each 2-weeks period, he will rank up at the end of 2020 (with the 50 promised-merits as support from @TMAN)

I released the topic when I reached 333, and now I have been very close to my next nice figure, 444. I crawled slowly but finally I have moved closely to it, after nearly four months.

Password change is normal but it will turn to be a potential issue if one user is inactive for months (more than 6) or years, then woke-up, reactive and instantly changes password.

If I come back to the forum after months, I don't see why do I  have to change my password, if I don't lose it. I guess most of you do it too. The most common reason of password change is forget password from initial account owners or hacked/ stolen accounts.

Combinations of two or three things aforementioned are issues.

Why not, my friend?
It is the truth that Dogecoin is inactive one in term of development but people love it. That's more than enough.

There are some factors to consider potential scammers.
The title is "Password changed / Woke up recently." More exactly, it should be password change and/or woke up recently. If you want to add more email changed recently. In previous posts, people mentioned about BPIP, that I know too. Unfortunately, the site is in updating progress and we might see a totally new version of BPIP soon.

You can combine all three factors:
- Password changed
- Woke up
- Email changed
All done recently. However, in my opinion, only the first two factors are enough to be more cautious with such accounts.

I think you should create a new term, PoStu because the term PoS is a misleading one. Most of crypto enthusiasts are familiar with the PoS as Proof of Stake.

So if there is a term Proof of Stupidity, it should be abbreviated as PoStu, IMO.

And lastly, don't feed the troll.

It is the very well known hot trend in the past (in 2017 if I am correct). When the forum had explosions in both traffics and new registered accounts.

In that period, the forum was deeply burried with spam. Spammers (in that trend), created shit topics then join together to spam.

If my memory is correct, the forum solved this by trashing all shit topics (that resulted in postcounts automatically dropped for nearly most users). I knew this because I followed the BitVest campaign that was managed by Lutpin (participants complained and asked for reasons why their postcounts were incorrect). This happened around the time merit system activated (closely before or after that day).

If my memory is correct, the term Megaspam topics born during that period too (from DarkStar_ ?).

After that, the merit system came.

I think such boring questions can be reported as non-value posts but there is another very warm welcome to 'real' newbies from theymos (and I think most of us do). Real newbies often ask 'stupid' questions, me too in the past.

So in my opinion, before reporting, we should take into consideration the whole situation of discussions from those boring topics. If there is evidence of spam ones, let's report them.

Sounds like I contributed something but in reality, I am not sure my topic has somewhat good contributions to those channel shutdowns but no matter what kinda of contributions it has, it is good for us to see those channels eventually shut down by Youtube.
Scammers will come back with the other channels, obviously.
Yes, keep doing reports to shut down scam channels.

Click on the trust page, under the avatar of user or at the very bottom in profile page. You will see all of what I mentioned in OP.

Woke up means a user is inactively (not logs in account) for at least 6 months, then suddenly woke up and logged in account. What kind of purposes of suck woke-up accounts? Not all, but some of them are scammers.

That is why I give you two: woke up and password changed. If you see one account has both of the two, the risk is higher.

Those warnings added as consequence of community suggestions. Before that, and now too, you can manually check it in the page: https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php (but there is limited time data saved on that page).

I read many topics created last two weeks, on phishing, passwords, emails but I don't see anyone discussed or gave information on the available and important signals of very potential scammers.

Password changed!

I knew it by myself when I changed my password (directly after logging in my account), then mis-wrote it down and I have to changed it again through my emails.
Different displayed signals of password change/ reset. (I did it in August this year).

There are two types of signal for password change.


The first one (first line, in Orange) is for: password changed through email.
The second one (second line, in Black, and smaller fontsize) is for:  password changed after logging in account.

The first one is a stronger early signal of potential scammers because scammers or hackers can buy or use hacked accounts (with emails too) to reset passwords.

There is another important signal: Woke up.

If you see one account (in Trust page) shows both of:
- "This user's password was reset recently."
- This user recently woke up from a long period of inactivity (Thanks @SFR10).


I warn you to be highly careful to deal with those types of accounts.

You will rarely see accounts with two lines in the attached image. In contrast, you will usually see accounts with two lines above, in Red and in Orange.

They are very basic things but newbies don't know it and easily get scammed.

They don't have to hack your accounts to steal your money if you blindly give them your money.

Q & A:
1. How to see Trust page?

2. What does woke-up mean?


3. What are meanings of different things I see in Trust page (+ / = / - trusts; flags; feedback)?
They are more addtional details so if you are curious to know more, please read that one: LoyceV's Beginners guide to correct use of the Trust system

4. How long those warnings will be displayed?
