I see blockchain's chance not in the decentralization, because as others have pointed out it using a decentralized payment option doesn't make the site decentralized, but in the anonymity and availability. Casinos aren't decentralized, just like most exchanges but blockchain adds the provably fair option and invites people who aren't allowed to play due to fiat restrictions in their countries.

As told to op This is everything I've found.
I'm almost 100% sure that some of them are alts (probably 5-6) but I can't proof it, since he is "clever" and he hides himself.
One of them Is a 100% cheater.

Thanks for help. It's my belief that linking addresses is only one of many things that can point to an abuser. People are known to receive red trust for as little as being in control of a bought account, or trying to sell an account. I'm sure that all these accounts are controlled by the same person, who is most likely involved in the purchase of uszaty43 and hacking of hahahafr. These 2 accounts offer probably the most damning evidence since they were local posters before being hacked/bought and stopped right after, at the same time completely changing their style of posting. They both synched, begun taking breaks from posting at the same time, and even joining the same campaigns on the same day. Under normal circumstances, the campaign member would start posting after getting in, wouldn't he? None of these accounts have made a single post since applications. I don't see them trying to deny anything. This person most likely owns more accounts and is posting for many different campaigns. This is the reason why he recently got sloppy and used too many accounts in one campaign, probably to increase his chance of getting in, or hedge against the possibility of a campaign he's currently in ending/him being kicked. There's also one more interesting thing. It's not a group of farmers, but a single person. His posts are identical, and there are some mistakes that keep occuring. Now that I've noticed it, I can find other accounts under his management with ease. Probably 10 min of digging per account would be enough to know if it's him. |

Usually the motive is one of the 3 or all 3 combined.
1. The exchange got hacked or got into some problems and is slowly going or already is bankrupt (like MtGox)
2. They got into some kind of legal trouble and have to run with the money. (like BTCe)
3. The exchange was made as a shell and they were planning to exit scam people from the start. (I believe this Canadian exchange falls into this group)

Bitcoin or cryptocurrency is partly like democracy because of the choice one has to make of digital currencies but it is not entirely like democracy because of decentralization. In a democratic setting, money is totally under the control of the government.
What? Where does it say that for a democracy to exist the money must be controlled by government. Democracy is where every person, rich or poor, smart or dumb, has the same vote and the same influence over the path taken by the group. This group can be a small society, a village, or a whole country. We can have a democratic society without a treasury. The most important part of the system is not money, but the involvement of every member of the group. Bitcoin would be something like that if each user was mining. This way each of us could decide if we want to mine this or that block, but how many of us, users, are really mining? 1%? How many run an updated full node? My full node is at 205 GB  |

In short, for those of you who don't understand, OP is afraid of saying anything about high ranked members in fear of getting painted red, because trust isn't moderated. This way if he gets negged he will have to keep asking others for help. Even if ultimately this gets resolved, it may take weeks. During that time OP will have to bear the red mark, which can limit his ability to do business.
If you see a trusted member doing something wrong, you can start by reporting his posts, telling staff members about it via PM, or telling other trusted members, also via PM. You're not risking anything by doing it. It's always better to get evidence and have the balls to post it yourself.

I have to say that it's a very odd coincidence that GreatOrchid minersday hahahafr uszaty43 All stopped posting on the same day (July 21, 2018) and suddenly woke up on the same day 3 months later. If this was one and the same day last week, it wouldn't mean anything, but they've all been inactive for months. After a while of digging, I'm pretty sure that these are owned by the same person. I've compared the styles of writing of these 4 posters and they are the same person. I'm not going to go into details just yet and just say that they are not native speakers of English and keep making the same mistakes in their posts. Not that I am one either, but I know what to look for.  We need someone to do some digging in addresses and transactions. I'll link this to someone from the "alt finders" thread. |

I haven't seen 3 card monte played in my street. But I have seen it countless times in Youtube and I must say that those con artist are really good. Quick hands plus some people colluding as well. You think you already know where the correct card is, but unfortunately, the sleight of hands happens so quick, in a blink of an eye that you didn't notice anything strange.
Its can probably compare to a '3 move chess' playing played here. You are given just 3 moves to 'check mate' the opponent and bets on the side. But this is just a scam as a 3 card monte.
It's no longer being played because people know what's up and don't play it at all. Even the former con men are advising people not to play, even if they know that it's a scam. You just can't predict which card he'll drop first and how will he hold them (which one is the top and which one is the bottom, because they always grab 2 cards in one hand and 1 in the other). At the same time it started to be hard for the con men because if you observe him for a while you can see how he does it and which card gets slided. Then you simply ignore that card and he'll mechanically keep dropping it not knowing who is watching. It used to work great 50 years ago, now not so much. |

This is how help hotlines work. They get paid for receiving the call (donations from the government and the society) and after all every hotline and every charity is a business and as a business has to work to sustain itself. Nothing is free in this world and if there were no addicts they would cease to exist. That's why they are talking to you, making you feel comfortable and that's where the help ends. With a pat on the back.
It all comes down to this: nobody will help you. You have to take matters in your own hands.

Are you saying that giving people money will stop them stabbing each other? You have to be a total degenerate to even think about murdering someone and more money won't change you. Will a father of a small child who lost a job and can't support his family suddenly start stabbing people to get their wallets and phones? The answer is no. Those murderers are usually immigrants from Africa and Asia, members of organized crime syndicates, drug addicts and dealers, even whores stab to eliminate competition. Throwing pounds at them won't change it.

Besides, according to campaign terms and conditions: Accounts with negative trust will not be accepted. If you receive a negative trust while enrolled, please immediately inform us. Otherwise, you will be automatically removed from the participation list.
What's the reason the duo of Getcoinsite and Arthotdog were selected, when there are other applicants without negative trust? I'll give you 2 tips: 1. Avoid quoting walls of text, especially when they already exist on the same page. It just takes space and forces people to scroll through it. 2. Check the date when he got negative trust and you'll know why he was accepted. |

Who's going to escrow the funds?
Escrow??? I don't know why no one talks about escrow any more. Is it because of the scarcity of campaigns here or what? Besides, that's a newbie account trying to run a campaign. They are asking about escrow all throughout this thread, but to no effect. I've applied at first but will withdraw if OP doesn't give a good explanation as to why there's nobody trusted managing/escrowing for him. @BitsGap i strongly recommend you to use Escrow to attract more members and set minimum earned merit requirement, so you could filter and get member with constructive post easier.
I would liketo join.
However, you need to get a escrow and use a merit requirement(about 20 earned merit at least)
You're running like moths to a flame, so let me add some sense to the thread.
Think about it before you apply.
Campaign started by a newbie, without a manager, even though there are many looking for work
No escrow.

I second this. If OP doesn't want to say a few words to the camera his whole profile is almost certainly fake. Why would you want to start a fake profile on an exchange? It can be anything from small level money laundering by a weed dealer, through a medium size deep web marketplace, all the way to laundering for a big organized group of smugglers, or car thieves. Do you really want your face connected to this mess?
Maybe he just wants to be anonymous for personal reasons. Why don't you jabs understand anonymity has nothing to do with criminal activities? One can just be anonymous because he doesn't believe in having his personal information over the internet? I don't see anything wrong with that. Maybe, or maybe not. I'm not telling him not to do it. I'm telling other people not to help him because it can get them involved in some serious shit. Do you know what a criminal impersonation is? It's one of the things that you may get into when you verify someone's fake identity. You can say that an exchange is not a financial institution and cryptocurrency isn't a financial instrument, but I wouldn't want to have to explain that in court. Would you? If you want to take that risk for $100 be my guest, but you will never know if this verified account won't get sold by OP to someone else when he's done doing his thing. |

$100 for KYC? A person's identity is more than that and isn't even worth for any penny. I wouldn't allow someone to use my identity to be used for an account verification / KYC to an exchange. How can I know if that's really for an exchange.
And OP's account is a newbie and he can just leave the forum anytime because its a throwaway account. Don't let anyone take your identity even for any amount, your name is at stake and OP can use your identity for a criminal act.

This is a general service section where you offer jobs paid in Bitcoin and fiat. If you're starting an altcoin project and planning to pay people in tokens, you should move this thread to the appropriate altcoin section: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=161.0 I'm also interested what this project is all about. With the number of scam projects circulating in the crypto space, the more you reveal, the better. |

Basically – life without parole. A lot of death penalty proponents stipulate that convicted criminals will be out on the streets in seven to twenty years, potentially unleashing them back on society. Nobody wants a vengeful serial killer or rapist back on the streets and free to track down the people who testified against him – that’s a scenario straight out of a nightmare! But in reality, most people sentenced to life without parole for violent crimes are not released at all, and the ones who are usually released after at least 25-30 years in prison, by which point most of them are old men and women anyway. As mentioned above, life without parole also costs a lot less and allows for mistakes to be corrected. Overall, we feel like the death penalty has a lot of negative sides and no positive ones, and while life without parole is not a perfect solution, it certainly beats the alternative.
Who is going to pay for that? Murderers usually know that they can spend the next 20 years in jail. Does it stop them from taking lives? Would "no parole" change the crime rates? IMO it wouldn't. As a result the same murderers who are now leaving the system after 20 years will have to stay there for another 20, despite being old, grumpy, and unable to care for themselves. What's the point of keeping a 70 or 80 year old grandpa in prison? |

A new account plagiarising articles. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2465080For instance: There have been many cases where people consider the cryptocurrency market as another version of the stock market with no difference. The first explanation people are quick to give to cryptocurrency is that "it's like a stock." After careful and critical scrutiny, I will confirm that the Bitcoin (BTC) market is very much different from the stock market and that it is very important for investors.
Of course, they both have common trends and similarities, but the operation of crypto market is very much different from the stock market. When you invest in stock, you invest in a company, but when you invest in cryptocurrency, you invest in a currency independent of the company.
Drawing the attention of investors, they should note that most of the created cryptocurrencies were created for fun with no clear blueprint and projections. Some cryptocurrencies do not even have clear-cut revenue and user base, however, they manage to record high market cap due to speculations. Most of them are labeled as a scam, and they are not backed by any company. This is so different from stocks. Almost all the public stocks in the market are backed by a company with a defined revenue and user base.
