I'm re-posting this because someone pointed out that I missed the check-box to allow the changing of your vote. Sorry for botching it up. The other thread is locked and voting disabled. If you don't mind, please resubmit your votes here.
I'm curious about the forum consensus on this issue. I'm only interested in your inclusions at the moment, therefor the poll is limited to who you might include and why. If you would like to discuss your exclusions as well, feel free to do so. No local rules, but I ask that we keep the discussion about the trust system in general, and not about any one individual. Please stay on topic. Obviously I have my criteria, which I recently illustrated in a post title My musings about the trust network. I'm not asking for advice, I'm just curious how most of the fine folks on this forum go about assembling their inclusion list. There are no right or wrong answers, you won't be judged by me for your response, there's only my curiosity. You can choose as many or as few options as you like, and you can even change your vote later if you wish. Because I understand that even the most stubborn among us can have our minds changed if we're being honest with ourselves and rational in our approach. Thanks for taking the time to satisfy my curiosity. |

I think I've said it about 300 times already but I'm basically including (or excluding) people whose ratings I want to see (or not) in my trust network. If I had to choose from your list I think it would be mostly these reasons: Someone who demonstrates good judgement of character
Someone who's historically demonstrated trustworthy behavior
Some who leaves accurate negative reviews (scam-buster) I'm in agreement with that. I certainly don't consider campaign spam or merits or anything of the sort. I'm kinda worried how you even came up with some of those  Only to allow votes for something I would not consider, but I suspect others may. Trying to cover all bases, so to speak.
I buggered up the poll in this thread, I reposted here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5190116.0 |

Posting in altcoin threads is tricky now. The ones that I'd like to bump - I don't have much to say about them that hasn't been already said so I would sound like a spammer. The ones that I'd like to criticize - I don't want to bump them. I think criticizing them is valid and even though you have significant bumping power your post provides the thread with only the minimum bumping power the you can generate. Also, I don't see anything wrong with bumping a thread that you feel needs to be criticized, it'll give exposure to the fact that you feel it's a shady project. Just my opinion. |

Hey Folks Howdy, Well I was clearly enjoying my life and checking on this forum every week but this week I found out my account is hacked by someone. I hope Theymos can help me recover the account. Strangely I do not see any malicious activity but before someone tries to sell me account or something that bad. I hope I can get back my account. I still have access to my recent bitcoin addresses and my oldest address(can sign message from both addresses) which I can use to validate the ownership. Let me know what should I do. also I tried resetting passwords and other stuff. Here's a link to a post that will guide you through recovering your account: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5089777.msg48896084#msg48896084 |

MichaelX has made some pretty decent posts, maybe not the ones that were merited by Dabs, but in general. I've seen some members give a lot of merit to one post that may not seem deserving, but it may be due to the merit giver not wanting to spend a lot of time clicking on other posts that should have received merit.
I don't see anything malicious going on here, but I also don't think anyone should be discouraging the OP from bringing up these issues if he feels there is something malicious going on. This is a discussion board, after all. And here we are discussing an issue, real or perceived.

Yes. Private keys are ubiquitous to all bitcoin wallet software. It's an easy test to verify my words, fund an Electrum wallet, extract the private key, and use another wallet software to sweep that key. Don't trust, verify.
1. You could export all the private keys of addresses that have already been generated by the wallet. Wallet menu > private key >export will do that. But as you use your wallet it'll derive new addresses from the seed so your backup will quickly go stale.Could you tell me what that means? I do not understand what kind of private keys exist. A wallet has its private key (just one) and each address in it has its own private key as well, right? It's so confusing  No, an Electrum wallet generates many private keys, not just one. That's how a hierarchical deterministic wallet functions. One seed phrase back's up many private keys, nearly an infinite amount. Each public key is associated with it's own unique private key. If you are using Electrum you can click on the "Coins" tab and see all the public keys and change addresses that are holding funds. (If the "Coins" tab isn't visible you can activate it under the "View" menu.) You will need to extract all the private keys associated with each of those funded public keys to retrieve your coins. I'm not sure what the last line of that statement means about the seed going stale. I'm sure someone will come along and shed some light. Going back to what I said about multi-sig wallets; theoretically one of the multi-sig wallet holders could set up a node, and Electrumx (server) and all the signatories could connect to that server to sign transactions that move the coins to another wallet. Just something that occurred to me and I needed to correct myself, because I'm weird like that. |

The problem is with Electrum seeds, they are not compatible with BIP39 seed mnemonic. It means if electrum project ceases to exist, a user needs to replicate a whole electrum infrastructure to be able to use their wallet. That wouldn't matter. What jackg is saying is that all you need to do is install the latest version of Electrum and extract your private keys, which can then be swept into whatever wallet you would be using at the time. The Electrum client doesn't need to connect to a server to be able to extract your private keys. The seed may or may not be useless but again, that doesn't matter. What if I don't have an actual wallet, I have just a seed, which was generated on some version of electrum. What's the plan to get my money. 1. Find and install the latest version of electrum on the Internet. 2. Restore a wallet with the seed I have. 3. Extract private keys from the wallet. 4. Import the private keys to another software wallet. Will it work 100% smoothly in the future? Yes. Private keys are ubiquitous to all bitcoin wallet software. It's an easy test to verify my words, fund an Electrum wallet, extract the private key, and use another wallet software to sweep that key. Don't trust, verify. |

What about electrum multi-signature wallets, can I export them to any other wallet? That would be the only sticky situation I can imagine. If Electrum just stopped working overnight, then the holders of a multi-sig wallet would need to trust one another to export the private keys. Of course if Electrum developers stop supporting the software, the likelihood of all the servers disappearing overnight is slim. I would imagine there would be ample warning, and that would give multi-sig wallet holders time to make alternate arrangements. |

Wow, that's kind of scary. If you figure out how to get his coins you should definitely have him reset his Ledger and write down his seed phrase. As far as I know there's no way to display the seed phrase once the wallet is initiated. That's by design, to maximize security. On to trying to solve your situation without updating the firmware: you can try MEW: https://www.myetherwallet.comOn the other hand, I've never had to restore my hardware wallets after a firmware update, but I'd be very cautious doing that without exhausting every other option. You can contact Ledger tech support and ask if they have a recommendation. |

So a lack of garbage makes a good website. Who knew? Nice website! You have just the right lack of garbage on it. |

Facts:
1) CryptoSparks asked for 5 bitcoins, offering no collateral.
2) CryptoSparks claimed he would create an API for the 5 bitcoins through his service.
3) CryptoSparks claimed this API would give the lender as much control over the 5 bitcoins as a private key.
4) CryptoSparks repeated this lie numerous times.
Tecshare, you are really starting to sound like cryptohunter here. You're either unable or unwilling to see the difference between real facts and CryptoSpark's "truth."
No matter how hard you'd like to paint this issue as an example of "lynch mob" justice, it ain't working. The facts don't support your argument.
As I've gained influence on the trust system I've been very aware of my behavior and how it may be perceived. I've taken great pains to be thorough and fair. I pride myself in not jumping to conclusions, not only here as a DT member, but in my life as a whole. In general I require irrefutable, concrete facts and indisputable evidence before I take action.
Am I perfect? Far from it. Did I allow this cunt posing as a quant to get under my skin? Shamefully I concede, yes. Did I tag him because he's an incessantly annoying twerp? Emphatically; fuck no. I would never do that.
I tagged him because he's a ignorant fuck, posing a superior genius, phishing for an opportunity to scam. The facts I listed above are evidence of his deceitful claims, which can only stem from malicious intentions. They are out in the open, observable by anyone who takes the time to research them. If those facts aren't enough for you, then I'm sorry. You must be far less scrutinous and suspicious than I.

After briefly climbing above $30,000 the price will close at $27,038. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Don't judge a book by it's cover.
There is no book. There isn't even a cover. Just a wrinkly napkin with some words scribbled on it. You have no trade history here and you're asking people to trust you with money under the pretense of a loan collateral. Had you mentioned escrow in your post, or at least in your "rebuttal", I'd be inclined to give you some benefit of the doubt but no such luck. I can understand that this website is monopolized by a certain group and seems like you're being paid to ruin any competition. Anyway, I will check messages here from 8 AM GMT +1 until 15 PM GMT +1 and reply to anyone who is looking for a loan. Best regards. Suchmoon gave you the opportunity to mention escrow on your own, then blatantly told you that mentioning escrow would grant you the benefit of the doubt. You still failed to do so. This is absolutely looking more and more like an attempted collateral scam. And I love this line: you're being paid to ruin any competition Like a mobster offering protection or something. Hey Suchmoon, why haven't you shaken me down for extortion money? I feel like I'm being neglected. Badabing badaboom. |

Thanks for your answers. I verified that the app i was talking about have Ledger as developer on play store. Will give it a try. I had to dig for it, but Ledger's website does have a link to the app on their support page. https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016141734I find it odd there's no link to their mobile apps on the download page. I sent a message to their customer support suggesting they add a link to their downloads page. |
