401  Local / Deutsch (German) / Re: Neues Forum Ranking System / Merit System (FAQ) - Was denkt ihr? on: March 24, 2018, 04:15:16 PM
Denke es geht bei der Einführung eher um das gespamme nur wegen der Kampagnen... Eventuell sollte man bei Kampagnen ein post muss über 15 post pro Woche untersagen...

Zwar ein etwas drastischer Schritt aber wahrscheinlich würde das helfen, ja.
Ich würde es allerdings zunächst damit versuchen, dass die Mods an die Kamapgnen-Manager herantreten und da nochmal ein wenig mehr auf die Finger klopfen. So können am schnellsten und vor allen nachhaltigsten gute Ergebnisse erzielt werden.
Hier finde ich, ist ein gute Beispiel wie eine Kampagne geführt werden sollte. Das schreckt all diejenigen ab, die denken dass sie mit Spam weiter kommen und an der Schraube sollte man aus meiner Sicht drehen, an den Stakes:


Wichtige Anmerkung: "Not enough" bezieht sich hier auch auf die Qualität der Posts  Cool
Ich bin einige Teilnehmer durchgegangen und sie haben 10-20 Posts in einer Woche, die man teilweise als Spam bezeichnen könnte und deswegen gab es vom Manager keine Stakes

402  Other / Meta / Re: Mod, please check new plagiarism: Reporting copy/pasting, please permban on: March 24, 2018, 02:59:40 PM
I found the user mithrim has repeatedly posted merit stat graphs and tables, which were originally created by zentdex and posted in the threads:

[1] Merit Stat from theymos data
[2] Where the Merit Pours?

to German local threads and LoyceV's Merit data analysis.  Thanks to these posts, mithrim has collected 11 merits so far.

The problem is that mithrim typically does not cite zentdex, and seems to be pretending as if the materials were created by mithrim.  mithrim sometimes gave a credit to zentdex, but the citation is very small: For instance, you can see "*Quelle" at the end of this post for a link to zentdex's original post.

zentdex signed like "stats: by zentdex" in some of the graphs / tables, but not all.  As zentdex's analysis is quite informative, I understand people want to share it, and zentdex would be happy about that.  Needless to say one needs to give a correct credit to zentdex's hard work.

The correct way is to quote zentdex's original posts.  However, mithrim never quote the zentdex's posts.  The following is the current list of mithrim's posts.  I must say they are plagiarism, please check them carefully.

The list of mithrim's posts copying and pasting the graphs and tables created by zentdex

This post copies 2 graphs and 3 tables from [2], and mithrim obtained 4 merits.
This post copies 1 graph and 2 tables from [2].
This post copies 1 graph and 1 table from [1], and mithrim obtained 1 merit.
This post copies 1 table from [2] and mithrim obtained 2 merits.
This post copies 1 graph and 1 table from [1], and mithrim obtained 3 merits.
This post copies 2 graphs and 1 table from [2], and mithrim obtained 1 merit.

Wow, never thought that trying to be more active and helpful would end up in me being in a witch-hunt.
The images even have a watermark and show that they are by zentdex. I never edited them or cropped his name out, I also linked to him or the original thread.

What boggles me is, if you have a problem with the way I post, why wouldn't you say something to me personally? I would've edited the posts, no problem. I don't want to get credit for something I didn't do and I also create infographics and statistics myself, so I know how much work this can be.
You say that the citation is "very small". It's the normal font face and size. The problem now is - as I don't have any problem with making the links red and bold or actual quotes - even if I would do this, you'd only accuse me of trying to hide something.

It's so easy to point a finger and accuse someone of what might be considered a minor forbearance.
What's your angle here? Do you want to 'defend' zentdex? Do you want me to get banned? What do you want? You obviously don't want me to change the way I credit someone's work, else you would've talked to me, at least once.
This level of distrust resp. pessimistic/destructive behavior really saddens me. If you want to improve things, talk to people. Or am I just not worth it and it's easier to get rid of things that annoy you?

I really don't know what to say to your accusation as I only try to bring things to the local board as not all members frequent the Meta forum.
You're also saying that I never quote posts when I repost content and that's just not true. Until right now I figured that this is a forum and not some kind of board where someone's posts are being 'checked carefully' like in a scientific paper. But even there you cite the source and don't insert a photo of the original article whenever you refer to something as it's not mainly about who made the content you referred to but about what can be learned from it. I never claimed the work as mine and gave a source.

So, as you seem to have a problem with the way I posted but never saw the necessity to say this directly to me, either via PM or under one of my posts but instead, you chose to accuse me of plagiarism in a thread that aims to permaban someone, what do you propose?
To be honest, as irritating as this might be (and it is, at least for me), it also shows a nasty side effect of the new Merit System. Until now I never even thought about plagiarism in the way you obviously do. I saw this forum as a means of exchanging information.. but well, learning never stops.

Next time I re-post content, I'll use the quote-function, so that everybody is happy.
And for future reference: If someone has a problem with me or the things I did, please talk to me.
403  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Non programmer: creating a Blockchain on: March 23, 2018, 09:51:29 PM
I'm fairly new to the crypto world but I want to make my own blockchain and I want to target a specific industry and have tokens only allowed on it if they're SEC compliant.
For a non-programmer, I think it looks pretty easy to use previously written code, change a few things (with the help of a blockchain developer that i pay hourly from upwork.com) and deploy it.
Will I have to mine tokens myself?
Will I have to have very fast internet and an expensive computer to do that?
What are some things I'm not thinking of in this process...it sounds too simple.

Well, where to start.
My first thought was: If you can't answer those questions you asked, don't start this project.
If you pay someone to do this kind of work and you can't verify what he did, you must trust him/her 100%, else this is bound to fail and you may lose everything you invested.

My best tip is: Educate yourself. You don't need to be a programmer/developer but you have to understand the concept.

Ich wollte nicht zu negativ rüberkommen. Nur darauf hinweisen, dass ein einfaches "Zusammenkopieren" von Content in meinen Augen keinen Merit rechtfertigt.

Hm, du hast da ein paar Übersichten zusammenkopiert und den Rang-Kalkulator von iasenko nur sehr klein als sein Werk gekennzeichnet.
Dazu verlinkst du auf den alten Forums-Regel-Thread von Zephir, der aus einer Zeit stammt, in der es noch keinen merit gab.

Normalerweise bin ich großzügig, was merit angeht, aber in dem Fall muss ich ehrlich sagen, sehe ich das als zu "billig" an.

Ich hätte gerne auch einen großen und akteullen Thread, in dem ich Dinge editieren kann und eben alles zusammengetragen wird.
Ursprünglich habe ich den Thread "Bitcointalk-Guide für Newbies" nennen wollen aber ich habe genau andersherum gedacht, nämlich dass das zu zu vielen Dopplungen führt. Es gibt jetzt ja schon viele Threads zu den Themen, wo sich Dinge auch mal aber nicht immer doppeln. Deswegen habe ich auch auf die anderen Threads verlinkt. Schade, dass du mir das direkt negativ auslegst.
Hätte ich den Credit-Link von iasenko und peterparker9191 fett und rot machen sollen? Ich gebe nie Arbeit für meine aus die es nicht ist und die Infografik ist ursprünglich von mir, peterparker9191 hat gefragt, ob er sie bei sich im OP posten kann. Ich verstehe deine Negativität wirklich nicht.

Ich bin tatsächlich heute zum ersten Mal über den Calculator gestolpert. Es würde mich wundern, wenn Anfänger ihn kennen. So was gehört aus meiner Sicht in einen Main-Sticky-Thread in jedes lokale Forum. zusammen mit Activity, Merit, Trust und prinzipiell allen wichtigen FAQs die man als Einsteiger hat, sodass man es in seiner eigenen Sprache lesen kann. Und der FAQ Thread ist zwar alt, ja, aber gibt es im Deutschen Bereich einen besseren? Ich habe keinen gesehen.

Da ich mir gerade nochmal deinen Account angesehen habe, ist mir aufgefallen, dass dort immer noch Transaktionen eingehen:



Das Problem wird ja sicher sein, dass du keine ETH hast, um das Gas zu bezahlen, damit die Token von dort weg transferiert werden können.
Eine Option wäre natürlich, selbst einen geringen Betrag dorthin zu senden, andererseits kannst du auch ein wenig warte und gucken, ob der Scammer selbst dies tut.

Wusstest du, dass du bei etherscan.io eine Adresse auch auf die Watchliste setzen und dich dann per Mail über irgendwelche Transaktionen benachrichtigen lassen kannst?



Ich bin mir nicht sicher, wie lange du schon dabei bist und ob du https://ethgasstation.info/ kennst. Hier siehst du die aktuellen Kosten für Transaktionen auf der Ethereum Blockchain. Derzeit liegt der Gas Preis bei 1 gwei, billiger wird es also nicht und auf der von dir gezeigten Adresse liegen derzeit Token im Wert von mindestens 180$, es lohnt sich daher ggf., diese selbst wegzutransferieren, bevor es der Scammer tut.

So wuerde mir dieses Forum dann doch einiges weniger Serioes erscheinen.

Hi Peter,

du hast mich mit der Aussage ein wenig neugierig gemacht. Was verstehst du genau unter einem "seriösen Forum" was macht eines für dich aus?
Wie bereits angesprochen ist Accounthandel immer dann vorhanden, wenn mit dem Besitz eines Acounts ein gewisser Wert verbunden ist. Da du ja schon ein wenig im Krypto-Bereich unterwegs bist, ist dir sicher klar, dass es in einigen Fällen hier auch um sehr große Summen gehen kann. Wenn ein Forum oder eine andere Plattform Accounthandel unterbindet, bildet sich  immer ein Sekundärmarkt, wer von etwas anderem ausgeht, der verschließt seine Augen einfach vor der Wirklichkeit.

Logischerweise werden dann auch gehackte Accounts verkauft bzw. angeboten. Einzige Maßnahme dagegen ist, dass man seinen Acount so sicher wie möglich macht.
Hier im Forum gibt es mehrere Möglichkeiten dies zu tun, die über ein "sicheres Passwort" hinaus gehen Hier 2 Beispiele:


Zunächst brauchst du eine Bitcoin Adresse, bei der du über den private key verfügst.

Die erste Variante ist relativ simpel. Du schreibst eine PM an jemanden den du kennst. Diese PM muss eine Bitcoin Adresse beinhalten, von der du den private key besitzt, mehr nicht. Nenn sie z.B. PM with BTC address as proof und verschick sie, zur not an einen Moderator  Wink
Schreib sie am besten nach dieser Vorlage:

Code:
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
My account <account> has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to <email>. The current date is <date>.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
<insert address here>
<insert signature here>
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Here is the unedited post where I posted that address: ...
OR
I sent that address to someone in a PM with PM ID#...

In der zweiten Variante lässt im Thread "Sicheres Adressverzeichnis" eine von dir zuvor signierte Nachricht erneut bestätigen. Dies hat erneut mit einer Bitcoin Adresse zu tun, von der du den private key hast (und somit die direkte Kontrolle).

Hier noch die Antwort auf deine Frage aus den FAQ:

F: Warum ist das verkaufen von Accounts erlaubt?
A: Da es nicht möglich ist diese effektiv zu verhindern(Proxies,TOR, Verkäufe in anderen Foren), ist es erlaubt, da sich User sonst in falscher Sicherheit wiegen.

Ich hoffe die Tatsache, dass es sochle Methoden gibt, hat dich ein wenig mehr von der Seriosität dieses Forums überzeugt  Cheesy
414  Other / Meta / Re: RANK & MERIT-BASED Signature Campaigns (an attempt) on: March 21, 2018, 04:42:05 PM
additional stake =  merit x A  / number of post
 the A is the amount of stake bounty managers willing to give to good posters.
they will still have the based stake based on rank.


Ah, ok, I get it now. I had a similar idea but didn't follow up on it as this method doesn't take into account that a Signature of a higher rank has more value than a lower-ranking one (ad space). So you basically would need an "A" for every rank in order to acknowledge this.
This might be too complicated though, hm, I need to think about this  Grin
415  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Warning of a Scam!!! on: March 21, 2018, 01:32:18 PM
Most of the time you have lost your assets, but you can try to contact kucoin's customer service.
If the customer service is willing to provide technical support for you, then you may be able to find out the fraud.

I tried, sadly they said they can not help me. This was the message:

Quote
hello,

sorry to hear that, but we can't survey the account of Kucoin users. so we can't locate the owner of the address in kucoin.

thanks

I don't quite get how he got access to your ETH address AND your kucoin account, but if you have any crypto assets left under your control, make completely new wallets on a safe system (other PC/Mac/Laptop), go to a friend, whatever.
But the most important thing is: DON'T USE ANY WALLETS/ACCOUNTS THAT (YOU THINK MIGHT) GOT COMPROMISED EVER AGAIN!

You can't trust anything that has the slightest chance of being compromised, even if no transactions took place or if there are no funds available to transfer.
Be thorough with your cleanup, you must be sure that your (new) addresses are safe, if not, you risk losing more at a later date. A security breach can't be undone.

I saw this link https://www.coỉndesĸ.com/EOS-halves-token-amount-for-block-one-leaves-tokens-to-be-claimed/ and thought it was a legit coindesk link, so I didn't check the following link and got phished.

Please, guys, anyone who is reading this: USE Cryptonite by MetaCert
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cryptonite-by-metacert/keghdcpemohlojlglbiegihkljkgnige

It's a google chrome extension that checks whether you're using the correct URL or not. You can't bookmark everything and especially if you're on new sites that you never visited before, Cryptonite is an additional layer of security.

I'm truly sorry for OP.
I'm working on a thread that warns from such kind of scams, I'll add what happened to you. We need to make people aware of things like that.

From the post [WIP]:

Quote
Part 1 - Scam Websites

Situation/Danger:
A fairly simple and unfortunately widely used form of scam is the cloning of a well-known website in order to fool the victim by giving it a false sense of security with the one goal: to get its data.

Normaly you can see whether a website is legit or not by checking the green "https" in front of the URL


So always be on the lookout for a green "Secure" and "https" in front of the URL address of a website. This is a sign that the website and the company have received the proper Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates. Obtaining an SSL certificate indicates that the company behind the page can be trusted, normally (later more on that).


If you are attentive, you can easily see that it is not a legitimate site or legitimate entity because it doesn't have the proper certification to be trusted.

Coinsmarkets.com has neither a green "Secure" nor "https" infront of the URL. Instead, it has a gray "Not Secure" and a regular "http" in front of the URL.
As a rule, scam pages are quickly detected and removed. If you are now trying to visit coinsmarkets.com (please do not;)) you will receive an error message.

However, some scam sites have found a way to display the green "secure" and "https" in the website URL, and then make an incredibly subtle change to the URL.


At first glance, URL for the popular cryptocurrency exchange Binance seems quite legitimate. You can clearly see the green "https" in front of the website URL and also the name seems to be correct.

It usually is more or less impossible to know how a site obtained an SSL certificate that allows them to display the green "https" in front of the URL. This also applies to scammer pages. At the same time, getting an SSL certificate from a less trusted certificate issuer is pretty easy.

If you take a closer look at the second picture, you will see small dots under the letters "n" in the word "binance".

The two dots under the Binance URL show that this is not the real Binance page. Instead, it's a very well-made clone of the page, whose sole purpose is to tap user data that unsuspecting users enter there. Even an activated 2FA authentication does not protect you, as a scammer can enter this data immediately after you have entered it on the real Binance page, where it will still be valid. Thus, he gets access to the account from then on.

Especially wicked are those pages that show an error message after the first log in, saying: "The service is temporarily unreachable, please try again in 10 minutes." In this way, the user doesn't even suspect that he has just revealed his data and a scammer uses it to gain access to the user's account.
If the user then tries to log back in 10 minutes later, he gives the scammer a second 2FA code, which he may use to initiate a transaction or even disable 2FA.

Even if you are attentive, such a site can be difficult to spot because everything seems familiar at first glance.

The example shown here is called PunyCode, which is used to create certain special characters (here the dot under the letter "n").
In another example, Bittrex was linked and used the cedilla under the "r" (looks like a comma). Cedillas are widely used in languages such as French and Portuguese.

Example for PunyCode:
Code:
müller.de    →  xn--mller-kva
übung.de     →  xn--bung-zra.de
dömäin.com   →  xn--dmin-moa0i.com
äaaa.com     →  xn--aaa-pla.com
déjà.vu.com  →  xn--dj-kia8a.vu.com
ñandú.com    →  xn--and-6ma2c.com


Tipps:

In principle, you can not say 100% whether a page is "real" or not. There are only a few things to keep in mind.
4 simple steps, 4 simple steps with which you can check most pages (if it is an established page):

1. Google the page and look at the results. It's best to use an add-blocker such as uBlock Origin so you do not accidentally click on an ad link (popular trap).
2. Check the URL for presence of https . Many fake sites use only the http protocol
3. See if the connection is identified as safe by the browser ( lock must be green ). In addition, you can still click on the lock to see the details.
4. Check the URL yourself. Look at whether special characters have been used or whether PunyCode can be found in the URL. The best way to copy the URL again directly into the Google search, it is corrected, it is a fake.

The best way to avoid a scam site is to enter the URL completely manually in the address bar of the browser or to use a bookmark.
There are also web browser extensions that you can download to prevent phishing/scams specifically designed for "crypto enthusiasts" like the Cryptonight Extension for Chrome.

So please be alert and check everything you do twice or three times. If you want to go one step further, you can also use a sandbox if you want to surf on new, unknown sites. This does not protect you in the mentioned PunyCode case, but there are many more potential risks that you may face on a daily basis.
Be safe.


417  Other / Meta / Re: RANK & MERIT-BASED Signature Campaigns (an attempt) on: March 21, 2018, 08:30:54 AM
it will be fair an excellent poster (the one getting a lot of merits)is a sign of good communicator and competency, they deserve more. anyways shitposter will be just ignored by the vast majority so a signature is useless. but the main problem here is more post will be created to increase their merit chance, perhaps should be:

 additional stakes= merit / number of post.

with that only competent individuals will get more stakes

new merits since campaign start / number of posts as an indicator
That was my first intuitive idea also. Then I thought about the method with which a Bounty Manager would verify this. He could check the initial Merit count when a participant applied but I didn't find an easy formula to calculate the stakes forin combination with the rank. My problem here is that if you only use Merit for the stake calculation, no one would apply for Signature Campaigns any longer (or not enough people) since right now, it's way too hard to earn Merit. Or am I too skeptical here? Did you have a look at the numbers if this could work out?


This is a great Idea in principle, but I think your numbers are a little off to start. Achieving the number of merits needed is a mighty task (I speak as someone who has a much greater number than needed so this isn't personal) working a number that starts at 5% above the base rate and then increases every month by a % or two would in my eyes work.

Managers all need to embrace a minimum standard level, and it may even be an Idea to get the managers to join a club? Where only the managers that employ a minimum standard can join - that would enable the advertisers to know that they are only employing the best standard of managers and therefore the best applicants

You are indeed a rogue result when it comes to statistics  Cheesy
Do you think that the column 'ModifiedStakes' really is that off? I thought that it represents the added value for better postings pretty well. Could you maybe make an example with your percentage-based idea Smiley ?
Or do you think that it's too hard for higher ranks? It tends to favor the lower ranks a bit, true, but I didn't see this as problematic, this could be either additional motivation for lower ranks or you could easily change the BaseStakes accordingly, e.g. in a way so that lower ranks initially get only a few stakes and basically need Merit to be profitable.


The idea of a club is a good one. This would be much more require much more effort though and someone would need to coordinate this. In addition, many Bounty Managers already are in a group or a 'company' so I guess they wouldn't necessarily agree on the basics of running a campaign, or at least the would diverge in their rules/views.

My goal was (is) to find a fair approach and maybe have a spreadsheet at the end that only needs o be filled by the Bounty Manager. Maybe it's too ambitious -.-

What happened to Lutpin tho? Haven't seen him around for quite some time.
Probably fighting spammers and leading the merit charts.I'll tell him you miss him.

OP: Why does threads these days have to be extra long and verbose ? Putting it graphically makes you look like hunting merits is one of your intentions behind creating the thread. (which you did)

I hope someone posts a tl:dr version of the same.


Well, the main reason for me was that the forum lacks some features to better style things, so I chose a graphical way, especially since colors makes it easier understandable (at least for me). I also posted an alternate link below the image.
And I chose this layout because I already had a preset for it. So if you prefer something without bells and whistles, here you go:

      

But to be honest, don't you find it a bit rude to react in that way? I put time and effort into it in order to make it easy to read since it's not that easy at the first glace. If you can't be bothered to read it, don't read it.


how about getting more when they increase their merit during the campaign, they will try more constructive, helpful post during the campaign.

That is exactly what the simple formula does  Wink
It takes also into account which rank you've got so that the additional Merit gets properly weighted

You suggested that 1 Merit = 1 Stake. Did you test? Make an example and see if this method would be 'fair' for everybody. At a first glance, it doesn't look that way but I didn't test it Smiley

Here is one of my tables if you like.

Hier sind nochmal Daten die 2 Wochen neuer sind

Usernamen
Bei Pastebin gibts die Liste mit den Usernamen bzw. UserIDs.

Nutzer mit 1 Merit oder mehr: 11775

Hier ist die komplette Liste (Format: "Merit username (#userID)")

Nutzer die 1 sMerit oder mehr vergeben haben: 10835
Hier ist die komplette Liste  (Format: "sMerit username (#userID)")

Hier auch nochmal in einem besser lesbaren Format (14 MB; html runterladen und im Browser öffnen).

Viel hat sich nicht geändert.
Es lohnt sich immer noch im lokalen Bereich zu posten (sofern man Russe ist Wink )
oder eben in Economy (höchste Merit Anzahl) oder bezogen auf die allgemeine Verteilung im Altcoin Bereich

    

            


In der Alt Section sieht es dann so aus:

Hey OP , I'm pretty sure crestonium is a scam.  I've seen a lot of serious allegations against  it.  You may want to research more before wasting your time on their sig campaign.

Hey, thanks for the heads-up, I did have a look at it and found no conclusive evidence for it being a scam. Unfortunately, serious allegations are common nowadays when it comes to rivalries between projects, without any proof though they stay allegations. If you have something with substance, I would appreciate a PM, or maybe you can make a thread about it?
Nevertheless, I thank you for your concern  Smiley


I really do hope someone run a signature campaign and the sole payment is a merit or two.

Unfortunately, I don't get what you mean by 'payment is a merit or two'. Do you mean instead of stakes as reward that you'd earn Merits? That would, at least in my eyes, undermine the whole purpose of the Merit system. It might have some flaws and needs adjustment, true, but the core concept to reward value and encourage the creation of it in others shouldn't be subverted. Especially not by using Merit as a form of payment [in campaigns].

That's being said the thread seems to be perfect, We all agree to the same conclusion merit is highly needed in this community have we not?

I really hope that some Bounty Managers see this post or come up with their own ideas to incorporate Merit. I tried to find an easy way to do it and I think it could work, it only needs people doing it  Cheesy
