I followed the first Bcash Civil War quite steadfastly and I can tell you it wasn't profitable for anybody involved. At least not for a long time. The price of BCH days before the BCH/BSV fork was higher than that of BCH + BSV for a long, long time. So while in the long run it could be a profitable endeavor ("could", frankly I'm not sure it will ever be so), you'll need an awful lot of patience in order to experience it.

This time around one of the Civil War generals isn't pretending he is Satoshi, however, so, I dunno, the entire thing looks bad and I wouldn't plan on banking on the split being profitable.

To be fair, Binance Coin (BNB) was quite decent before it moved to its own blockchain as it had an underlying and highly utilized functionality. Thanks to their team possessing relatively decent ethics and good business practices, it became the embodiment of the Ethereum token spirit -- a rare success story of a use case scenario successfully employed.

However, you are otherwise overwhelmingly correct.

Sad really because there were some great ideas on paper and presentation but once these teams collected massive amounts of ICO cash they quickly became lazy and uninterested in seeing their idea through to fruition.

I chalk up the entire DeFi trend to being the newest wave of scams; most of which is Ethereum-based, so your statement remains intact there.

I have 65, and suchmoon has 126!  

Lauda has about 295, possibly more as I accidentally lost count on page 3 for a couple seconds. That is probably the biggest ratio of untrusted-to-trusted reds for a single account.

But in short, OP, if you can't come to an agreement with this person to get your tag removed, I'd say don't worry about it as it is highly unlikely they (in particular) will ever be on DT2.

Reading this thread has been depressing.

Disclaimer: I'm not a maximalist per se but the longer I hang around the more maximalist tendencies I develop.


The problem is that the likes of Lopp, Mow and Back have for years found delight in taking massive dumps on Ethereum. A combined hundreds of cheap shots which nobody asked for or were at all necessary. Especially Mow -- pretty much all he ever does is shit on Ethereum and Ethereum-based projects; he's made it a personality trait. By accepting ETH tokens of any sort as payment to shill a project, he's going against everything he's stood for over the last 3 years or so.

This whole debacle is probably the real reason Mow recently stopped letting non-followeds post on his tweets.

Lopp and Mow pigeon-holed themselves: they built a brand around being anti-Ethereum. They're just pretending everything is cool now that they've come out of the hole for the sake of making some quick cash.

Frankly they've lost all respect in my eyes (as well as Back to a certain extent) -- not because they are backing an Ethereum project but because they have been exposed as being utterly full of shit.

Just 12 hours ago:



 

LOL. Most people do that for free you know.

Hopefully they gave you some special perks, like a free poster or beer coozy.

But on behalf of the rest of us... thanks for supporting the arts.

Well, that's exactly what happened in the instance of the member who wrote the post linked above. You are preventing a team member of the coin deposited on your exchange from withdrawing said coin.

That's fine but your exchange should be sophisticated enough to recognize that not everybody who deposits coins then immediately wants to withdraw them is a criminal or attempting to engage in money laundering. KuCoin should attempt to be a bit more selective with whom they spring KYC requests on, and for what reasons.

In no case should KYC be used as an excuse to keep customer funds unless those funds have been explicitly linked to a hacking event or theft. You should allow the customer to withdraw the funds to the address which they sent them from, at the very least. Otherwise, it just comes across like you are using KYC as an excuse to steal customer funds.

A "money laundering indication" is not the same thing as money laundering. You do understand that right? What would they report him for what exactly?

Uhh... why would you use fake pictures of these people? Do these people even exist? It seems highly doubtful, but at least you got semi-creative with the Zoe Sutherland name. The other ones have highly generic names so its difficult to assess where you pulled them from, but I'm gonna go ahead and assume your ass.

I mean... you don't even have a team. You don't have a white paper and your "documentation" link just goes to the home page.

How is it a "decentralized exchange"? You offer BTC, BCH, DASH, XMR and ZEC trades... that's all being done in a decentralized manner? Not to mention your forex section... LOL. I'd like to read more about how that is decentralized as well. Tell us all about it here, please, since you don't have a white paper.

Can you please take a moment to respond to accusations regarding with-holding coins from members who have submitted KYC? Thank you.

You could be right about their inability to communicate properly, but you kind of started off on the wrong foot with them. You were immediately accusatory and didn't ask for help, only pointed to this accusation.

I know it feels like they have you bent over a barrel but your only option currently is to submit the KYC documents. If I ran an exchange, I wouldn't hold funds over surprise KYC issues, I would let the user withdraw them back to their original address (I know with XMR that's a bit more difficult to prove). But, I'm not an exchange, so you kind of have to do what they say.

If you get to the stage of kaefergeneral where they took your KYC and your coins, then let me know here and I will help you to open a flag against them. That will put up a warning message that is visible to everyone who can see their thread. If company/project cares enough about their reputation on the forum, they will find your accusations worth responding to, potentially helping you to resolve the issue.

As of right now, however, there is more evidence in kaefergeneral's case to warrant a flag or a red tag as they actually underwent the KYC and still haven't received their coins. I will tag the KuCoin Exchange account and point them to this thread to see if they will respond. Gonna give them a couple days to respond to my comment in their thread before tagging them.

That's not right at all... You should be allowed to withdraw your funds to the address you sent them from, at the very minimum. What I recommend is to post a comment describing your situation in their main thread and see if the KuCoin Exchange account replies to you. They may be able to help you out quite a bit as they were just online today. If that doesn't work, reply back here and I will help you to open a formal scam accusation against them, which might stimulate them into action.


Not a valid excuse to hold somebody's funds without any sort of way to get them back. Exchanges are only decent mixers if they are completely anonymous, like a DEX, and even then there's ways to see who got what, where its been, and where its going. Exchanges that ask for KYC are the exact opposite of mixers.

And of course there's a way to trace where the funds are going, its called blockchain analytics.

What's even more impressive than "Fuck You money" is "Fuck Me money." That means you have so much money that you can afford to destroy your own life and still come out ahead.

This is the worst part of the whole thing... the subreddit is literally named "r/btc" but here you have Ver specifically directing someone to buy BCH... If anybody else did this, they would also be labeled a scammer.

I had to depart with one merit for this reference as it indicates a Vietnam War era whore as opposed to a modern whore. Because if it were such it would be referred to as a Ho Chi Minh City whore.

In addition to what OP posted, there is some other plagiarism in the white paper. For instance, most of the Blockchain definition segment is taken from the Wikipedia entry for Blockchain. I think its a bit premature to tag this project at the moment but will definitely be keeping my eye on it as its price action is indeed particularly bizarre (as pointed out by logfiles). As a rule of thumb I assume all new projects are scams but am waiting for just a bit more evidence before taking any action.

That's pretty open-minded of you. I occasionally like to read posts from the Gambling section while in search of knowledge and there's often too much spam that impedes my ability to find the juicy info for which I am looking. This makes maintaining an ignore list a must as sometimes you just know that 99 times out 100 a certain account is going to write something not worth reading. I may miss out on some mildly interesting info from time to time, but that's the price to be paid for expediency.

About a year ago, I copy/pasted a huge Ignore list of mostly sig spammers, tweaking it to my specifications over the months, and it has grown in size to the point where I can no longer open the Ignore List settings in my Profile, LOL. The only way I'll be able to access it again is by manually unignoring at least 50 to 100 users as I come across them, and I don't think that's happening any time soon.

I have only a handful of WO posters on Ignore, and for the most part they stopped posting here, so it works out.

keys.lol does the same thing but is more navigable and user friendly.

I hope nobody is stupid enough to enter their private key into this website. If you didn't know, you should never do that.

I'm saying much of your website content is plagiarized from other sources, none of which are credited.

For example, this part under Token Distribution has been copy/pasted by a dozen projects, including yours:


Then pretty much everything under your FAQ has been copy/pasted from other sources. Granted that it is standard language, but I certainly wouldn't invest in a project that can't be bothered to write its own website material. By not generating original content, you're basically saying you don't care about your own project... that it's a short-term thing and you have no long-term vision.

Of course they are relevant. Most of the major price movement during BSV's history is due to news-driven items: Craig filing for the copyright to the white paper, a Chinese tweet about bogus evidence confirming Craig is satoshi, the judge reversing the default judgment against Craig -- this is what moves BSV. As it is based on lies, it will all be removed from BSV's market cap value in due time.

A wild shitpost appears. But I mean, it is almost art.
