It's okay, I can do it for you if you want Smiley If you look at my post, you'll see that I asked if you would like me to do it Smiley I will present you a draft here if you like and see how it goes.
Imho, no need to waste time of that since I think that using current "Status" column should be enough, I'll try to sort that out this weekend when I have a little bit more free time. I appreciate the offer though. 👍



As far as I can tell a lot of the threads in the original post are now somewhat cleaned apart from a few exceptions which will take a little longer to go through. I've likely revisit them from time to time to see if we've got any new spam waves, though judging by the activity of a lot of them, I suspect whoever has been behind the spam waves have either quit or moved on.
Majority of those threads simply cancel that bumping service when they see that their thread is going nowhere and posts have been deleted constantly day after day. But yeah, it's not a bad idea to revisit the threads occasionally as some of them will attempt the same thing, thinking that they lost the attention.

When I created this question, I did not try to trade there yet. After that I signed up and I liked everything. I didn't hear anything about him until someone wrote to me about him here on the forum. Now this section does not make sense, I liked trading there.
Looking at @maks-ivanov89 praise at Fybit, and you being so defensive about the exchange that you started using couple of days ago, makes me believe that the real purpose of this thread is promotion, and not genuine enquiry about Fybit.

So, this is how I think it went:
1. First, you created the thread asking "Who knows a platform with ALCM function?"
2. @maks-ivanov8 (this name kinda reminds me of yours) wakes up after 6 months break, just to recommend you completely unknown exchange that no one here ever heard of.
3. Several days later, you come asking opinions about Fybit and when some members raised valid concerns about it, you went into defense mode, which I think is very strange since you just started using exchange couple of days ago.

Rikafip, did you see this part of my previous message?

Besides all these, I have a suggestion to Rikafip: all topics from OP and post #2 appear as active, but not all of them are active anymore. Would you like me to make an update for all the threads mentioned in OP and post #2, in order to reflect reality? Another thing, maybe it would be better if you would add one more column to the table, named "Cleaned?" and state a "Yes" or a "No" at each topic, in order to be easier to see which ones still need cleaning?

Ah sorry, completely missed that one.

Regarding the first suggestion about updating the status, you are absolutely right. I planned to do that for quite some time, but somehow always found the reason to postpone it. I will definitely try to do that soon, when I have a little bit more free time.

About adding one more column, maybe I should simply edit current status with "Cleaned" and sort that out in a more convenient way, isntead adding one more column as it would take some time considering size of the list. Anyway, will think about it.



3924  Economy / Exchanges / Re: What do you think about the platform FYBIT.com ? on: January 19, 2022, 01:15:57 PM
It doesn't matter to me whether the platform is in the CMC list, because this site belongs to Binance, and he decides who to put there. I think how much money will be paid to Binance will appear in the list. Therefore, this is not an indicator.
Not true, listing on CMC is completely free, for both coins&tokens and exchanges. Now why this FYBIT is not listed either there or on Coingecko is another story. Most likely they are not meeting minimum requirements. Not that being on CMC/Coingecko makes you legit, but still, if you are not even listed there says something about the exchange.



Are you trying to get answers from the community or do you want to defend them? There is a lot of smoke and suspicious things about it so it is best to avoid it, you do not have to use it.
Maybe I am just too paranoid, but it looks to me that real intention behind this thread is to promote this dodgy exchange and not asking about opinion, considering how defensive OP is about some exchanges that he (allegedly) found out couple of days ago.
3925  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Question on: January 18, 2022, 11:00:10 PM
Thank You for the reply. Which option would you suggest to stake coins with minimum risk.
You might wanna take a look at the Celsius. I have a couple of friends that deposited pretty decent amount of crypto there (mostly stablecoins) and are getting around 9% interest on it.

Just bare in mind that even though Celsius is legit, it is safe until it isn't so I wouldn't risk any bigger part of the portfolio there, and certainly not everything.
3926  Economy / Services / Re: [SERVICE] SHILLIING TWITTER - NATIVE ADVERTISING on: January 18, 2022, 10:50:26 PM
Why do you never provide some examples of your work? It is not the same thing if you post to a few hundred of your followers or if it is posted to some influential account. a quality tag will help, but you definitely need to have your own audit.
$1000 is not a small amount for Twitter, you would certainly have to prove such a quality before the agreement itself.
My guess is that shilling their stuff under tweets of the popular influencers, as I often see altcoins being promoted under their tweets.

Those shills are as obvious and "natural" as those paid thread bumpings that we can see in the altcoin board. Somehow I doubt that those comments can attract real investors, but to each their own.

What exactly would be a proof enough that they are paying for those posts? Would maybe table like the one below suffice, to see the clear connection between the accounts and various threads. I mean, for what other reason would same group of (mostly newbie) accounts write on the same group of threads, if not for being paid to do exactly that?
A lot of the time these sort of projects are advertising in their Discords, Telegram or whatever other communication they have. They often offer posting for an incentive. Though, I suspect these particular projects are doing it under the cuff.
Yeah, announcement threads mentioned in this topic are doing it more subtle, as they are not giving their tokens in exchange for thread bumping, but instead they are paying "marketing agency" to that, and you usually won't find any written evidence of that.

Last time when I provided exactly the kind of proof you are talking about, for some thread wasn't deleted. Back on January 1st I reported this thread, provided the proof that they are offering incentive for thread bumping, but my report remained unhandled. Evidence below should be good enough, right?

So, few days ago I reported to mods announcement thread that has bitcointalk reply as one of the requirements for their airdrop, which is against the rules.  Few days passed, and nothing happened so far so I am asking if others can report the thread as well, maybe that helps.

Ann thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5379058.0

Here is the proof


Their TG group where that airdrop is spread https://t.me/fundraiselaunchpad



It is possible that some to not appear in OP (maybe Rikafip did not consider them worth to be mentioned or simply forgot?; such examples are the SatoshiClub topics (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5236143.msg54940954#msg54940954) mentioned by notblox1 and cleaned by me, but some other ones can be found as well if you go post by post). It may take more time, but if you want to be 100% percent sure you did not miss anything, you should follow this suggestion.
The main reason why i didn't include SatishiClub topics is because I am only focused on threads that are active at the moment of discovery due simple reason: that list would be at least 4x bigger if I included all those old topics that were being bumped and I didn't want to waste my (or mods time) cleaning old and abandoned threads but instead focus on the ongoing ones.
3928  Economy / Reputation / Re: [LIST] ANN threads that are using bumping services on: January 18, 2022, 05:06:51 PM

Also, I'll be looking to do further digging on quite a few of them, to see if they're indeed paying for these posts. If anyone can also help prove that, let us know.

3929  Other / Meta / Re: Monthly Report Statistics on: January 18, 2022, 01:15:07 PM
This is astonishing - We went from a total of 8.264 reports to 21.562 reports in just a month! That's a 160.91% increase! Is it usually like this in this time of the year or something else happened (since the word "handled" is used, I assume it means that some reports could have come from a backlog?)
One of the members responsible for that increase is definitely @GazetaBitcoin. He has been very active lately in cleaning the altcoin section from all that paid redundant crap, based on this list. For example, just yesterday he reported 2255 posts, which is insane number. Majority of people don't report that much in a year, let alone a day or two.
3930  Economy / Exchanges / Re: What's the best exchange after Binance? on: January 17, 2022, 07:09:44 PM
He didn't really say that he wants to trade bunch on shitcoins on Binance,
I didn't say that either. OP is looking for an exchange that has some coins that Binance doesn't have and that has high volume. Looking at Bisque, I don't see any crypto listed there that Binance doesn't have so that's why I asked if Bisque is really good option for him.
3931  Economy / Exchanges / Re: What's the best exchange after Binance? on: January 17, 2022, 06:07:08 PM
hi,
I am on Binance but I want to buy some coins that they don't have. Later, I might consider to do also trading on that particular exchange.
So, is there any top5 of exchanges based on available coins, trading volume, fees, other criteria? As I'm on Binance, KYC is not a concern.
Since you said that KYC is not an issue, you might wanna check Gate, as they have large amount of shitcoins that are not available on Binance (at least not yet). If you wanna go for something more reputable that doesn't require KYC, I would suggest Kucoin and FTX.




Best alternative for Binance is decentralized exchanges like Bisq for example, you can use it without any verification and you will own the keys of coins you use for trading there.

Since OP is obviously looking for an exchange that has bunch of altcoins that Binance doesn't have, is Bisq actually a good option for him?
3932  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: One of the best forum on: January 17, 2022, 05:47:17 PM
I'm sorry but I'm actually done with this forum, I had been nuked by big players here.
To be more precise, forum is done with you. At least with this account, but I have no doubt that you will come back.



I agree, it is obvious that some of these newbie members are just looking for merits, and, I think, it is up to the established users to weed out the frauds from the genuine ones.
Tbh, nothing wrong with newbies wanting some merit, but as we could see from the OP example, many are just too eager to pretender that they know more than they do so they opt for plagiarizing. In reality, you can shit load of more merit just by asking the right questions and being genuinely interested in learning about bitcoin.  But these fools don't understand that, to their detriment.
3933  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 2022 bear market? on: January 17, 2022, 05:42:11 PM
Either way, time is running relentlessly and what seems very far away today will soon become a reality - so while anything is possible, I don't want to believe the price of BTC could fall below $20k, it would take us back 5 years. Like it or not, hundreds of thousands of BTCs today are owned by wealthy individuals and various companies, they have changed the rules of the game and therefore a four-year cycle could be broken.
Yeah, I don't expect BTC seeing below 20K, unless something huge happening. Same goes for bear market like in 2018, market is different nowadays. After all, we didn't have bull run as it was in 2017, so maybe bear won't be as bad as before.

Either way, I am not too much fussed about it, I stopped worrying about BTC price long time ago. Just gotta think long term, and that's about it.

Another one bites the dust! Good job @lovesmayfamilis!

Another obviously fake newbie member trying to squeeze couple of merits, but as usual gets busted right away and will probably end up getting banned for plagiarism. Man, these fools will never learn; instead laying low and trying to farm those merits in a more subtle way, they instead create these threads that just get them attention, but not the kind they wanted.
3935  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 2022 bear market? on: January 16, 2022, 11:37:22 AM

It seems to me that the smart ones have played the majority again, and while everyone is waiting for some extremely low prices, they are accumulating and waiting for the right moment for a new pump. If you believe what you say, place your buy orders between $16k and $22k, although something tells me you'll get tired of waiting Wink
Maybe I am completely wrong, but I have a feeling that OP would be too scared of buying BTC if it drops between 16-22k, like many others. I mean, he is already talking about bear market just because BTC went down ~35%. Same thing happened last summer, everyone was talking about bear market, while instead BTC made another all time high.

And yeah, I agree that is much better to start buying now instead waiting for some specific prices which may never come. You don't have to immediately buy with everything you have, but DCA is not a bad tactic. At least that's what I am doing.
3936  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do you find out to invest or not in a coin? on: January 16, 2022, 11:24:08 AM
First of all, you have to ask yourself does it it even make sense for this coin/token to exist, I mean if there is a real need for tokenization. In 99% of the cases answer is no, meaning its just being used as a gimmick to raise funds.

Problem is, even if token makes sense, team is experienced and they have a good idea, they will most likely fail as its in the nature of startups to fail. Somewhere I read that startup failure rate is 90%+, and we are talking about non crypto startups. And when you add something as crypto that is not mainstream yet  in equation, that number goes to probably 99.99%.
3937  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: 1xbit scam me more then 2000 euros on: January 11, 2022, 10:19:11 PM

Did you do some basic research about this website before playing so much money there? No? Why?!
Unfortunately you're not the first one with problems there. And, since people never learn, you'll probably not be the last one either.
All I can tell is that I'm sorry for you. Quite a costly lesson.

I am sure that from now on you'll look more carefully and use the services of websites with much better reputation.
Problem with 1xbit is that they are very aggressive with marketing and their ads can be found all over the place
So forums example, when someone sees their ad on some big site like Coinmarketcap, they don't think twice. Instead they just assume that since 1xbit is advertised on some big and popular site, it must be legit.

Seems like having a shitty reputation here is not hurting their business too much...
3938  Other / Meta / Re: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity on: January 11, 2022, 09:52:30 PM
But I am open to suggestion about something more innovative.
I have some ideas, but in order to do then I'll need a lot of time. Before I even start yearly overview I have to do the same for my local board, then monthly overview and then in the end yearly thing.

So yeah it will take some time Cheesy


Perhaps, using Ninjastic, it would be interesting for someone to summarize information from the point of view of the number of posters on different levels, disregarding merits.
That's actually a pretty good idea. Thanks!
3939  Other / Archival / Re: [ANN][BTCH] BITChro - NFT and Metaverse Ecosystem on: January 11, 2022, 06:23:22 PM
Project is looking good and I checked all social media page And roadmap. Roadmap is looking good. If team achieve all those which is mentioned in roadmap than this project can go very high.
I founded in Telegram group that Token will be listed on 25 Dec. How much liquidity will be add?
So you created an account approximately 6 years ago, never wrote anything up until now, and just suddenly woke up too write some classic Ann thread bumping post. Looks legit Cheesy

@OP Regarding team members, are those their real names, and if they are why don't you use some normal picture of them?
3940  Other / Meta / Re: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity on: January 10, 2022, 10:07:13 PM

I've participated in several forums for some time, but usually they only last 2 or 3 years. And those that do last have a longer duration, usually users after 2 or 3 years stop participating or participate very few times.
Hah, my experience with forums is completely different. On one of them I am active for ~20 years (general type of forum, place where I heard about Bitcoin for the first time ) and on another for around 10 years (IT forum). Both are Croatian forums, and both of them used to be way more active back in the day, so that's why Ia m not overly fussed with bitcointalk post numbers decreasing as that's how it goes, forums are not as popular as they used to be.

Once I settle on the forum I don't leave easily, so I hope to stay on Bitcointalk for at least that long. Cheesy
