Eh, you don't need to trust one person with all the BTC in escrow, you can spread it across multiple treasurers. I would do that, but you probably don't count me as trustworthy

Well, that is strange. If they do own BitcoinCharts, then yes, there is a problem...

Thank you
Both TradeFortress and Seal do not allow multiple paid signatures, you can't have the best of both worlds >_<

he is mad because he is a competitor and i offer better pricing spreading lies because you are afraid of my business. i always try to beat every one else's prices. $ you always try but never succeed. You always offer the worst prices... everybody know that except some newbie you succeed to scam .. nice job... As a donator, you should be ashamed. You don't even know the definition of scam. scam /skam/
Noun A dishonest scheme; a fraud. Verb Swindle. Last time I checked, pheaonix isn't dishonest nor a fraud, other than the fact he's using Ripple which is run by people who just want money. Like you, mah87. From someone developing a scam coin bitcoin fork this is not surprising. Developing a "scam coin bitcoin fork"? Wait, what? What kind of fucking crack are you on, I'm not even developing anything to do with bitcoin forks or altcoins in general...

Any proof of trades? Proof of CL verification?
We can't really trust you unless you can back up your claims.

Alright, so, many people have been asking for loans, providing completely no collateral, or not knowing what collateral is. I saw Nimda make a small post on it in a loan topic, but figured I've seen this having explained so many times I figured I'd make a quick topic on it. What DOES count as good collateral : - Shares on Bitfunder,btct, or any other site you can transfer shares over. It's best to use shares that don't fluctuate heavily in value.
- Something that can be sent over the internet but has value, or easily be traded in for cash. I don't have much experience with this type of collateral, so I have no good examples of this, sorry.
- Something that can cheaply / easily be mailed back and forth, this could be anything with value, a small bar of gold,silver, or your phone in example.
What does NOT count as good collateral: - Your accounts on anything like Steam, or any other game site. Why? First of all, it's an account, they're not that easy to sell and while you may have 1,000$ in value on there it is not worth 1,000$. Also, you still most likely have e-mail access to it, and you could go to support saying you got hacked. Also, most Terms of Services do not allow the trading of accounts. This is a bad way to provide collateral and I doubt anyone would accept this.
- ID card, or any other personal identification. This is great information to supply upon getting a loan, but this is NOT collateral. Often people do offer it as collateral but generally it is not worth much, because the worst you could do is find personal information and post it online, which is nasty, but some people won't mind, or use a fake ID.
Tell me if I missed anything. Just figured this is a quick good small guideline. Added it to the sticky, nice work.

It's not because TradeFortress is necessarily trusted by theymos, or anything like that. If you read what theymos said, it's because TradeFortress and the people he trusts give accurate ratings, both negative and positive. Not because theymos endorses anything that TradeFortress does, although he may have his own opinion.

tl;dr: If you want Wikipedia to accept Bitcoin donations and to donate to Wikipedia, please send bitcoins to one of the following.
Wikipedia pledge collection addresses:
Meni Rosenfeld: 19HHHDya8PNqdVpiCdZYuwKyuWFoU1TC9A
Witnessed. Great idea(s). If Wikipedia does start to accept Bitcoin donations, it'll be an amazing boost.

Your comment is valid, and welcome. I am not here to tell the world I know better than "you". Instead I created this thread to gather feedback from the community about some of the problems we have all experienced here in this forum.
I think there need to be rules. As I pointed out in the very first post THIS FORUM has no rules. It doesn't even have a privacy policy and as such Theymos wields the ban-hammer as he sees fit with no over site; he also has the right to sell your information to marketers... because there is no policy saying he will not. And under the current lack of rules scammers are now allowed to do as they please because the scammer tag is no longer employed. Each and every day new sockpuppets enter this forum in the currency exchange and alt-cypto currency forums where they steal actual money from unsuspecting victims... and the admins do nothing about it.
I have no interest in being king of any forum. I have a great interest in being a MEMBER of a forum where:
- people can have intelligent discussions - sockpuppets are minimized - criminal behavior is minimized - BFL is not allowed to advertise as they are a suspected criminal entity under state and federal investigation - illegal securities are not sold to non-qualified investors (Trendon Shavers) - ponzi schemes, such as TF's, are not welcomed and promoted (The new Trendon Shavers)
Allowing activity like the above does great damage to the reputation of bitcoin and it keeps adoption rates low.
Good points, well made, but where do you get the idea that TF runs a ponzi scheme? O_o Feel free to continue this discussion in PM, to keep the thread on-topic.

Actually, Joey Rondini got the tag and he scammed a grand total of .4 BTC... I believe that he scammed 1 BTC (.85 lent, he was due to pay 1 BTC back), possibly more depending on how much his other accounts got, if any. He mainly got the tag because he was being really persistent and annoying, and the admins just got bored and gave him it. Which doesn't do much.

haha, when I read the thread title I thought you were taking bribes in exchange for giving people mod status.
Heh, me too. Thirded. I thought that at first also.

Except that when this forum is made, ASBO-I mean censorship enthusiasts get to administrate it. Yeah, I agree that a new forum needs to be made, but how will you control the staff? The staff are decently controlled at the moment - and I know that if you get your wish, you're going to go and ban people such as TradeFortress because you dislike them. I'd ban his ass if I had a banhammer because I swear to god he is blackmailing buyer. (I don't swear to god much).
Yea I agree they all need to be banned all the freaking crooks. How can it be done? Won't they just pop back up as a sockpuppet?
This also kinda re-enforces my point. "they all need to be banned" "freaking crooks" "I'd ban his ass if I had a banhammer"

why not make CL and inputs.io the same site?
It's feasible, but they're entirely separate things. And there IS a reason that you have to deposit and withdraw into CL (which would probably be removed if it was integrated into Inputs) - TF takes a 0.001 BTC fee every time you withdraw, and like he said, what is the point of fee rebates without fees?
