Ah yes, members of the 1000+ post/0 merit club. Gotta love 'em. At least what they post is mostly just bounty reports and not shitposts (though some of them do that as well). This is exactly the point I made above. These people are largely not actually bothering anyone (except those who want to create rules solely for the sake of having rules). There are alternatives to having a bounty section, however none of them amount to requiring that you must be an experienced member in order to participate in bounty campaigns. It has been repeatedly noticed that these "law-abiding" bounty hunters either do not have alternative accounts or are very careful and do not make mistakes, sooner or later leave their comfort zone. They need at least one merit because some managers don't accept Newbie. And this is where the bounty hunter's tragedy begins. Having a very large activity on the forum, with which other users have become legends, these accounts begin to write nonsense, copy from other sites, which ultimately leads to a ban. Therefore, we see in the Meta people who are very far from the rules of the forum and the life of the forum itself, who do not understand what their fault is and why they are either banned or received a negative tag. And their whole tragedy is that they never until the need arose, did not go beyond the "bounty" section We can just guess what kind of stereotyped posts they write on social networks and are talking nonsense, thinking that they are doing useful "work" ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

It is not surprising to hear similar responses on the Bitcoin forum: "I will never sell Bitcoin, even if something happens ..." Unfortunately for many, I hold somewhat different views. If I sell something, I understand what I sold. It makes no sense to regret "last year's snow" I will sell bitcoin if I need funds to buy non-vital items. If I don't have enough fiat, I will spend bitcoin and buy what I want. In my case, it is difficult to say that fiat is slipping through my fingers since I acquire things that serve me for a while. I'm not too old yet to squander, realizing that life is leaving, but I am no longer young to recklessly buy useless things. But I do not want to limit myself in my desires, waiting for some magical time to fulfill. My teachers always said that you shouldn't count your money very carefully, otherwise it won't come. Having parted with something, you should also not regret it, if something is sold, then something else will be bought ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I don't think this will somehow limit the number of new alternative accounts if managers change the rules. Participation in the bounty is no longer a goal for many "new" accounts. Accounts appear that are grown to participate in subscription companies. Some newbies follow the pattern, earning merits from Ratimov, from OgNasty on merits topics. And then hunting for merits, they quickly get the rank of "member", after which they start spamming a lot in threads. The further fate of these accounts will be either participation in signature companies or the sale of these same accounts. This is a well-built business that those who do it are unlikely to give up.

One small person can attract more mass for their idea. But this must be done very carefully, in no way violating the boundaries and opinions of other people. We know many historical figures, good and bad, who were able to lead the masses. The main idea, in this case, the idea of cryptocurrencies, should be presented completely competently and carefully, recognizing not only all its advantages, but also disadvantages, and allowing people to hear not only good news but also bad news. Well, later, after negative news, which is often always broken on stones, to have time to prove the correctness of your idea.

I also always admit, some things have happened from my carelessness sir. Also, as long as there is solid evidence then I proceed and vice versa and that's in any case.
No, no, I do not mean your carelessness. I want to say that there are times when users themselves make mistakes, copy other people's wallet numbers, or so on, and subsequently either edit or completely forget to delete or correct their data. That's just what I meant. Don't take it personally. You are doing great. I don’t want to teach you anything, because I see that you don’t need lessons. You are experienced enough. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Although Buying/selling bitcointalk accounts was widespread before Merit system, I do not remember that there were cases that successfully sold merit too many Merits and therefore the black market for them is small and not enough to make changes.
Everything is also simple here, if 10 merits are bought for the "member" rank, then, of course, you will not see more merit purchases, since for this there are sales of ready-made accounts. Look at some accounts today that participate in token-paid subscription companies, there are a lot of awakened, that is, sold accounts. Since we already know their rules, you cannot change passwords after purchase. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
There is a rule that is not to change the password after buying an account. I'm complying so this account isn't locked.

In fact, isolated cases of similarity of addresses for me personally can never serve as evidence of the accusation. With @Konkordato, I also had an earlier case of accusing him of alternative accounts. But it turned out that this was the usual carelessness. Here, too, for some reason, I am convinced that an error has occurred. Please note, @Konkordato only communicates in the Turkish section, while the account you link it to belongs to a user from Bangladesh. At least he gave merit for the post on that local section. I will not prove or assert anything, this is only my opinion, and you can always disagree with it. But just a little advice, if you see one single coincidence, admit the thought that this is the usual carelessness. And stick to any more evidence.

Another hysteria from the buyer of the merits of the well-known seller Qunenin. As the saying goes, "money down the drain" As expected, the merit he sold was of no use. One account has already been banned, the second received a negative trust, after which he confessed his dislike of the forum. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Bitcointalk is fucking forum I have 100+ account and did not respect this forum.
I will never believe that these two accounts also do not belong to the same farm. It is also likely that all communication about buying, selling merit, or accounts occur from one telegram channel, about which it was written in this thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5362015.msg58019335#msg58019335

PlagiarismUser: ConnerDalfinoPost link:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5328734.msg56721296#msg56721296 ( archive) The Sacramento Kings are set to become the first major sports franchise to offer a bitcoin payment option to all players and staff, team chairman Vivek Ranadivé said on Clubhouse on Monday. The NBA franchise has long been one of the most crypto-forward teams in professional sports. The team began selling everything from tickets to hot dogs for bitcoin in 2014.
NBA salary cap is $109m per team x 30 teams = $3.2 billion.
Per year. Imagine if the whole league went that route. Meanwhile, the NFL and the MLB are both $6.3 billion per year each. If these leagues exclusively paid their players in bitcoin that would be $15.8 billion a year in salary. Bullish.
Your thoughts?

Some people do not even know what a ponzi scheme is, some do not know some apps are fake all because they are downloading it from all store, some people do not know what is called phishing, some people only know about this when they are scammed already and know they have to be careful next time, only few people were able to know and avoid before they are exposed to one of the scams. If someone knows about scams already, it is simple to just avoid.
It is all the mistakes out of ignorance that are passed through in their own experience and leads a person to the study of security. This is human nature. Only after losing something do many wonders why this happened. For someone, it is simply impossible to get into a scam, since they know all aspects of online security. If I know not to click on suspicious links, I am not in danger of phishing. It's the same with everything else. But there are people to whom warnings, no matter how much they are created, seem to be nonsense, and due to their lack of education, they are regularly deceived. For everyone, there is a certain number of life lessons, after which people begin to think.

If cryptocurrencies develop at the same pace, then in 10 years the owner of the wallet will be easier to find than the owner of a mobile phone. So take action now.
Probably 10 years is too long. It is already impossible for an ordinary person to maintain confidentiality today. This requires certain knowledge that needs to be regularly fed with the news. Having closed one hole for the leakage of our data, we can not guess that on the other hand, they know no less about us. Confidentiality is no longer secret today. And as Eric Hughes said in his manifesto, this is an opportunity to choose what we want to open to the world. A call to action can also only be for those who know what they are doing and how to do it.

8. AlexandrTDS activeYou are not being honest my Gee I'm sure you have other alts out there ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) any explanation about AlexandrTDS? one more ------------------------------------ @Awaklara, I want to ask you why you always combine the number of accounts in your posts? After all, these seven accounts, for example, are not all alternatives. But in your statements, it turns out that you are finding a farm of 7 accounts. Is this true?

It turns out that having free capital is also dangerous ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . Those who have it must learn to properly manage their assets. Since scammers often write about a limited offer, the speed of decision-making is important to them. And who can fall for their bait? Someone who has money ready to invest. Some begin to think and check, while others, due to the fact that the "supply is limited", are in a hurry to part with the money. To misinform people about a product or project, scammers do not spare advertising, and people who can be easily seduced react the fastest. Older people trust scammers, hoping to secure their old age. Young people have heard a lot about the ups of some people who were able to get rich on the growth of cryptocurrencies, they believe in miracles. If a person is desperate for money, they can easily fall prey to deception. And about greedy characters is simply not worth talking about. Some don't even learn from their mistakes.

What I am wondering however is what did you do that caused the admin/mods to ban the second account so quickly? There are many other UID's that other investigators have linked, yet they are still roaming the forum as they please.
I can share with you my list, where all applications submitted by me are blocked the next day. Of course, this will happen if the report is executed correctly. With all the workload, it is difficult for moderators to disassemble dozens of accounts that have connections. Make it easier to see everything clearly. The account that has been blocked should go first. Further, the account or accounts with a later period of activity after the blocked account. You don't need too much proof. One link between accounts is enough. And for every small report, apply for a ban. I see that in this thread, moderators are not blocking. But I translated some reports into an understandable form, and they were blocked the next day. Simplicity is always more convenient. For anyone interested, there are examples in the Russian locale. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2613277.msg58042144#msg58042144

Another guide in the history of the forum. Hopefully, tbct_mt2 will add your theme to this collection as well. Of course, a lot of time has passed since then, but the methods of fraud seem to remain the same. I agree that new forum members need to be regularly reminded of the dangers of falling into the trap. Well, if there is not enough guidance on this topic, this directory would be a good addition. COLLECTION OF GUIDES ON IDENTIFY AND AVOID SCAM PROJECTS

So, you are in a better position to help newbies. Do it now and wait for me to grow to atleast Sr. Member and see what I will do. Just a few newbies I merited, @Ratimov listed my name with them suspecting they are my alts. This cannot happen to you no matter how many newbies you merit. It's a clear indication that you are in a better position to do so than myself. Thanks!
Therefore, I do not shout at every corner how to treat newbies correctly. On the contrary, I am always very skeptical about them, as I see a lot of deception. There are far fewer newbies to the forum than alternative accounts. If you have "checked" my story, you will easily be convinced of this.

This would be appropriate on the Alternate Accounts thread. And besides, all accounts are inactive, which means they are practically irrelevant, and in addition to your report, they would be better suited to the blue font of the text, since you stick to clarifications. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2544574.3120 Even if you are speaking truth, your account has been tagged and the money you have spend have been wasted. But if you have any clue of a the seller bitcointalk accounts or your peer accounts, you can disclose them to get the revenge and be helpful to the community.
You are very naive. Why would he give out his seller for what was done to him on the forum? The best thing he can do for himself is buying another account. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I said it before that anything to be asked for is consideration or mercy,(which some Legendary members are doing, by deliberately giving more merit to lower-ranked members). If due process is followed, more than 50% merits will always go to the Legends and it's normal. It should be a motivation for me and other lower-ranked members. Yes, because if senior members for instance recieve more merits than Legendary members, no one will practically work to earn a Legendary rank. The highest should remain the best.
Everything is rightly said, and very beautiful. But all good deeds, the proverb says, must begin with us. But why, in your statistics of donated merits, over the past six months, I have not seen single merit given to the newcomer? Does it seem someone has already asked this? No? Sometimes our good thoughts and aspirations go against our actions, unfortunately. It's bad when words are not on friendly terms with deeds. ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)
