The penalty for ban evasion is usually double the original ban time.

It should be a permanent ban on all accounts.
That is a rather extreme viewpoint. As a general rule, the administration does not want to remove people from the community (eg issue a perma ban -- and continue to enforce a perma ban after a long time has elapsed), and will only do so as a last resort. Someone evading their ban is breaking a rule, however doing so is almost never so bad that it warrants the removal from the community.

I might suggest dumping the post history of individual users/accounts. This could be restricted by rank and otherwise be rate limited. I think this would be difficult to recreate any meaningful mirror site with this information.

As others have mentioned, the security log would be beneficial. The mod log, not so much because of its limited information.

It would be helpful if users outboxes (and other folders) can be downloaded since they cannot be easily searched. Obviously downloading this information would be restricted to users who are logged into their own account.

Becoming a part of Internet history & future ! Yes, that's right. It's going to very first [...]

It's about starting some eco-friendly campaigns and making some documentaries and a music album. That will cost much, but as of now I need a little very urgently to save an idea/dream related to this.

This has been tried before, see this thread. If that is not entertaining enough for you, see this one by that same guy (editors note: he was asking for ~20% of all bitcoin in existence at the time).

Even he is paying 1 BTC, what exactly is his plan? Begging a DT1 one to take the 1 BTC and ~ suchmoon? And that's hoping another DT1 doesn't step in to preserve the ratings suchmoon left.
That doesn't really make very much sense considering the amount of attention he has now brought upon himself.

I'm also not quite sure why he would be going around scamming for pennies when he claims to have <$1 million in bitcoin. He is honestly probably just a troll.
3368  Other / Meta / Re: Lauda has 3 DT1 3; 100 people excluded lauda; 6 socks added lauda to their list on: March 15, 2018, 12:08:59 AM
In Croatia, you must pay taxes on worldwide income. Lauda was the local moderator of the Croatia section.

Also, in the US, you must file a tax return if you are a nonresident alien individual engaged or considered to be engaged in a trade or business in the United States during the year, which Lauda was before he was fired from being a moderator. edit - it looks like this is incorrect information

Taking into account that Lauda was running around bragging that he did not pay taxes on his moderator income, it is probably a fair assumption that he was not extorting zeroxal as part of a "sting operation" to catch him evading taxes.

Am I the only one who thinks it is ironic that lauda was extorting someone over claimed “tax fraud”, while lauda was claiming to do this in the name of a sting operation, when lauda refused to give theymos sufficient information to generate a 1099 for his moderator income and was going around bragging about not paying taxes on this income (aka committing tax fraud himself)?

Pretty sure you don't pay tax on cryptocurrency earnings. Only once converted to fiat is the amount taxable.
YOu are wrong. In the US, you are required to pay income taxes on income earned for work preformed in the US, or if a US citizen, on worldwide income. The forum is based in the US and as such work done for the forum is done in the US. The medium of payment does not matter, the amount of the income is based on the value of the property given.

Most European countries also tax income earned.

LN will encourage people to store their private keys online,

Only the keys for the funds that are in the lightning channel.  Funds that have not been placed into a channel can continue to be secured with offline keys.  Since a Lightning Channel transaction is a multi-sig transaction, I believe an attacker would need to gain access to private keys from BOTH sides of the channel.  This is a risk, so users should consider their own risk tolerance when deciding how much value to use when opening a channel.


In order to send money via LN to someone, you do not need to have a direct channel open with that person, you need to have available funds in a channel that has an open channel with that person, with available funds to be sent, either directly or via a series of channel links. This means someone who compromises private keys associated with an LN channel could simply send an LN payment to themselves provided this person has an open channel that can receive sufficient funds.
3373  Other / Off-topic / Re: 😎 [ANN] The Utmost Epic, Totally Tubular sMerit Giveaway ~ 170 sM Available 😎 on: March 14, 2018, 01:27:43 AM
As an FYI, links to the bitcointalk.org will be green when your mouse hovers over the link.

TheGambler has run many HYIP/ponzi sites over the years. Research into his identity has caused me to believe that he has been running scam sites since at least 2012, however I think they probably go back to ~2010. He is known by some as moreia, by others as Spoodermen, he seems to think his "main" account is TheGambler. He has scammed at least 15 BTC on bitcointalk, however the amount is likely at least 4 times (by my guesstimate) as much considering it is difficult to know the exact amount he scammed on most of his HYIP/ponzis. He has been described by some as the plague to the community, he is a serial scammer.

What happened:: On or about April 30, 2015, a highly reputable member of the community gave me a tip saying that dzeros is an alt of TheGambler and that he was attempting to sell bitcoin in the currency exchange section, as well as the fact that him selling would make a unique opportunity to find out his real life identity.

Scammers Profile Link: dzeros https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=508301

Reference Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1035970.0;all
Amount Scammed: At least 15 BTC, however I would guesstimate it will be closer 60 BTC, maybe over 100 BTC
Payment Method: TheGambler has stolen both bitcoin and altcoins
Additional Notes: Below is blockchain evidence that dzeros is an alt of TheGambler. Based on dzeros posting history I was able to find his real life identity with a good amount of certainty. The identity that I found matches what I reasonably believe was provided to people he was attempting to sell bitcoin to.

I am however going to hold off on publishing TheGambler's dox until dzeros has the opportunity to refute the below evidence (as well as anyone else who wishes to do so), as well as to receive any good reason from dzeros (or anyone else) to not publish his dox (I highly doubt there would be one).

Below is blockchain evidence that dzeros is an alt of TheGambler. In order for one transaction to be signed by two addresses, one person must control the private keys of both addresses (with few exceptions, however I don't think any of these exceptions apply here).

On this (archive) post dzeros sent .34 BTC to goose20 from 16HseYWh9AoaqkoWHszHgEEMin5Zzqh9u5 via txid 8372e634e5b1501abcc6a7625bbf51cd16624a1b1c3ab73132631ba47a116987

He is upset about the negative ratings he has because of him defaulting on his loans. This should be fairly transparent.

Trolling on a large scale is against the rules, however this is rarely enforced. Regardless what koshgel is doing does not come close to breaking any rules.

It is not against any rules to insult others.

3378  Other / Meta / Re: Where the Merit Pours? on: March 13, 2018, 06:55:16 AM
It almost seems like the [ANN] threads are being merited by default.
I think this is evidence that users are giving merit to posts/threads regarding things they either support, agree with, or are in line with their agenda.

There are a few members that are putting a lot of effort into finding members who have a legitimate desire to learn about (and discuss) bitcoin, and giving them merit, however in many other cases, users are giving merits to posts that in one way or another benefit the person giving the merit. I think this will add to more groupthink, and less challenges to popular ideas. Some of this may be a side effect of the air-drop of merit that everyone received, I am not really sure as of yet.

I would be interested in seeing similar analysis only taking data from merit sent in a 4 week period starting ~a month from now, which would likely remove most of the effect of the sMerit air-drop.
3379  Other / Meta / Re: Newbie, Jr Members, Members suffering from merit-phobia: Explanations and Advice on: March 13, 2018, 05:54:18 AM
I think the use of things like "sir" is the result of poor translation tools, and the writer using a specific word in their local language that does not translate well without proper context, which translation tools usually cannot do.

The association of people using the word "sir" with those who do not know what they are talking about is the result of a number of things:

1 - There is an extreme gap in the standard of living in places like Indonesia and affluent neighborhoods in the US. This means that not only is the $0.55 or so a low level member can earn from making one post is a lot of money (in terms of his standard of living), but also the time spent not posting in either learning about Bitcoin, the subject topic, or in making an english post in proper english is worth a lot in terms of what could have been paid for if this time was spent posting.

2 - We have rule 27 that says:
Quote
27. Using automated translation tools to post translated content in Local boards is not allowed.
This with the fact that there are a disportionate number of english speakers (as their primary language, and their 1st language), who have an in-depth understanding of Bitcoin, and actively contribute to Bitcoin (there appear to be a small number of people who speak Chinese who actively contribute to the bitcoin-dev mailing list, however the problem does not appear to be cause by those in/from China), means it is more difficult for non-english speakers to learn about Bitcoin. If this rule was removed, some users who spend a lot of time helping others might be willing to spend time in some of the local section, using translation tools, to help people learn about Bitcoin.

3 - The Indonesia local section is the 2nd largest local sub behind the Russia local sub, as measured by total posts, yet it does not have any kind of "beginners" nor "technical discussion" section (many other local subs do have these kinds of sections). This means that Indonesians who want to learn about Bitcoin do not have a forum to do so in their local language. It would probably be a good idea to add some kind of beginners section in Indonesia.

Very interesting that QS still hasn't replied.
No response from Quickseller?
There allegations in the OP are so outrageous that they do not deserve to be acknowledged, to the extent that the OP is likely operating in bad faith (in multiple ways).

In fact, it is even mentioned in the OP that this thread is useless (has no basis in fact).


threads you've created recently
In those cases, lauda has explicitly acknowledged the allegations and attempted to derail the threads by trolling them. Further he very much implicitly denied the allegations both before and after he explicitly said he would not respond to the allegations, which is prima-face evidence that lauda was both trying to say that he denied the subject allegations and later claim he was not lying if/when additional evidence is presented to backup said allegations.
