The only way this has any chance to succeed is if you simply stop joining campaigns whose funds are not escrowed. And preferably not escrow tokens, but something more valuable like BTC/ETH/stablecoins because it's very easy to make those escrowed tokens worthless by simply making a new one. But for that to happen you will have to have huge support of your fellow bounty hunters and unfortunately there is always a decent amount of those who will simply ignore your effort and continue to do the same thing; joining as much campaigns as possible and hoping that some will pay. If project cheat with us, Then we will destroy that project all together. We will success this mission, If we work together and if we get support from forum seniors. I don' think that "forum seniors" can do much about this. You may eventually destroy altcoin project's reputation here on the forum, but if they are ready to cheat you out of the tokens, they obviously don't care much about that. I wish you good luck with your effort, but in the end its all up to you, no senior member can save you from yourself. If a project scam you, you can create a thread about such project in scam accusation. Chances that some project will change their mind after that are imho slim to none. By then its already too late.
Until bounty hunters change their stance towards bounty campaigns, this will keep happening. Before even thinking about joining altcoin bounty campaign, first I would ask myself "would I ever invest my own money into this?" If the answer is yes, then I would make sure that funds are escrowed before proceeding with bounty campaign. I mean, I often hear bounty hunters mentioning "hard work" etc. If its really hard work in question, why lowering your standards so much and joining every possible campaign without much thinking? |

If Your Say You did not Fix Bug Then I will Show all Bugs in Here If You Force me to Prove
Force you to prove? You should have done that right from the beginning, show all those bugs that you found, as that's how this is supposed to work; you have to show some evidence for your claims as few screenshots of your conversation ain't much of a proof of anything. I just checked their Telegram group and I couldn't find any mention of bug bounty or anything similar of that sort so I really don't understand why you went and did all that. Just don't tell me that you casually browsed the website and that you didn't look for bugs on purpose. On the other hand, I did find that part about rewarding one of the users for finding the scam group, as mentioned by @DarrenMMAON  |

Here is another case of a most likely a fake wallet.dat file with 159 BTC. I mean, freshly made account just for this purpose selling something like this. What could go wrong here I wonder.. https://archive.fo/T570X |

What I would like to see is theymos introducing some big change on the forum and exactly on April 1st so everyone thinks that's just some prank and everything will go back as it was before. But then as April 1st passes, people are slowly realizing that's not just a prank, but the real thing  Now that would be a interesting twist! |

Darren here from MMAON. We've had multiple attempts on our website, Telegram and social media accounts from hackers. One who I suspect is the OP. Nobody promised the OP anything, as seen in the chat logs.
The timing of the OP contact was after we rewarded somebody in our Telegram group who found one of the many scam groups we've located on Telegram. We rewarded him with some MMAON tokens and shortly after... OP got in contact offering to find a bug (which isn't even with our token).
First of all, nice to see that you decided to respond to this. As I said before, I saw similar things during my work as a telegram admin, those professional "bug hunters" saying that they found bugs and then contacting the team and asking for money. We didn't want to have to respond to this. But feel his allegations are untrue and damaging. I'd urge forum/OP to delete the post!
Forum staff usually don't delete these kind of topics, no matter whether scam accusation has any grounds or not. The best you can hope for is OP locking this topic/changing the title but somehow I don't think that will happen so you will have to live with this. |

I did my share in bulk on his interview post. My source Merit was going up anyway, so thanks for sharing this. I can't send more than 50, so I've sent you 2. Feel free to tip him over Awesome! Thanks @LoyceV once again for your help, its much appreciated and thanks for the chance to give @Trofo that last merit he needed for Legendary rank. Cheers! |

To be honest, this looks like yet another useless shitcoin trying to profit from Elon Musk name and his current popularity among crypto enthusiast. To make it even more bs, you added a pinch of Covid 19 stuff and all that mumbo jumbo about artificial intelligence and robotics.
That's just my opinion though, based on seeing numerous similar useless projects whose only goal was to make creators make some money and this will probably end the same way.

Ali ima i slučajeva da određeni image host prestane sa radom i sve slike nestanu ili forum prestane podržavati slike učitane na nekoj stranici.
Vjerojatno se nesto od ovoga dogodilo jer kad sam ja napravio ovaj prijevod sve je radilo ok, slike su se naravno prikazivale i onda je u medjuvremenu prestalo sljakati. Ali dobro, sve je sada sredjeno po tom pitanju. |

It is a newbie account posting their first thread and it is a ponzi. Obviously this is a throwaway account and the number of noobs posting in the thread there too. These guys need to improve their promotional methods, they get caught too easily.  If Google translate is correct, name of the section where @didrazorko posted his announcement thread is "hyip" so of course you will get caught instantly. I guess that section is equivalent of "Investor-based games" where similar scams are found but just with a more direct name than that euphemism used in English part of the forum. One thing that surprises me though is that trust feedback is not visible there which is kinda strange due fact that almost every thread made there is some kind of scam. Or maybe exactly because of that trust is not visible, but still, imho it should be. By the way, flag support! |

This is not a surprise when you realize that 99% (my guesstimate) of the new member's goal is to leech of this forum, either via signature or bounty campaign. They see bitcointalk only through $$ prism so no wonder than you will have bunch of alt accounts begging for money. Doesn't cost them anything to ask after all.
Bitcointalk is simply perceived as a forum where people come to make money, so these things are bound to happen.

we'll wait for the developer of MMAON Token and let's see how he counter this.
As far as I know MMAON doesn't have an account or announcement thread here so I really doubt that anyone from the team will bother to reply this. OP made a mistake by sending those "bugs" that he found without really being asked to do that. For that all he got is a vague promise of reward if bug is real. I mean it's one thing to look report on bug if there is some official bug bounty on the website and the other to do it the way OP did. I hope that he learned the lesson so he doesn't waste his time in the future. |

graphs provide the fact that there is a low merit number, but post quality could be seen from the members reputation on the forum, not just current merit numbers, seems that there is a number of quality posters on local board, and with just one merit source, it is tough job to connect quality and merit numbers
As a matter of fact, we have two merit sources active in our board, but problem is that their monthly allocation is quite small compared to other merit sources. Some of them get few dozens of merit per month, while some get several hundreds so even if local board has few merit sources it can still be under merited, like in our case. Unfortunately for us (and some other local boards that are in similar situation) theymos is obviously satisfied with the current merit numbers so all we can do now is wait, keep writing good posts and hope for the best. |

From what I can see on that screenshot, he said that they will give a reward if that bug was real, and I guess they didn't think so. It's not like you signed some contract with them or anything.
To be honest, based on your conversation you seem like one of those "website bug hunters" that pester admins in Telegram groups. I've encountered quite a few of those when I did some admin work in the past so no wonder than ended with you getting blocked & banned.

It was just purchased and idea were getting prepared, the design and all aspects were not. The team sheet is finally updated and will be added on the ANN thread. If people like considering everyone as scammers, then what can anyone do about it?
Design and all others aspects were not prepared, yet you didn't waste your time and instead you decided to start the sale. That shows your true colors and I am sure that you will continue to show the same level of incompetence and negligence as up until now. Which it proved to be corrected as it see you upload AI generated team member photos instead of stock ones. If you are indeed legit and honest project that wants to clear own reputation, you would make a video with your team members ASAP showing that they are real, but we all know that won't happen. |

The director of Nomadland is a Chinese born woman from Beijing. The skeptical me is thinking that the Chinese communist party can manipulate the results and have the movie win all major nominations as a manifestation of their global power and their arrival. China has been manipulating Hollywood already. The best picture, the best adapted screenplay and the best actress will be won by Nomadland. https://www.heritage.org/asia/heritage-explains/how-china-taking-control-hollywoodWhile it's true that studios spend a lot of money on lobbying to get Oscar nominations/awards, I somehow doubt that behind Nomadland (eventual) success is a Chinese government. It is actually a pretty good film (if you like slow paced minimalistic dramas) and Chloe Zhao is not some complete incompetent noob either unable to make legit good film. Few years ago I saw her The Rider (2017) which I liked a lot so I am not surprised that her next film (Nomadland) got so much appraisal. I do not get why people may think that Netflix would hurt, most of the major names are moving towards netflix, it is basically a guaranteed thing for them of sorts, depending on the production company of course but basically everyone knows what they are going to get and netflix takes all the fall if it is a bad work, hence that is why I think this gives a guaranteed feeling of comfort for both production and directors and actors and everyone behind the scenes as well.
There are film purists that simply don't think that film should be watched on TV and that will lead to eventual movie degradation as studios won't be interested in producing epic movies that costs 300-400 million USD. I do like Netflix a lot and they brought a lot of good things to us as consumers (their movie Roma is probably my favorite movie made in the last few years) but its yet to be seen whether that really happens eventually. |

Too bad that there aren't a lot of people that are going to see this PSA and they are probably too lazy to open their browser to download the wallet directly from the website which means that they are likely to get confused as to which wallet they are going to download, to a lazy and untrained eye, the fake is not going to be suspicious but to someone who knows a thing or two about apps and how to get their clients, they will notice the irregularities pointed out in the fake app.
Problem here is that people are used to downloading apps directly from Google Play and have been doing that for years so when they decide to get crypto wallet for the first time, they won't think twice about the dangers of getting an app from there as they probably never had any issues with any app before. That thought that app could be fake won't even cross their mind, unfortunately. I really think this is more of a staff / time / technology problem for Google in the sense that they do not have enough people assigned to check all of the potential frauds and with that don't have enough time or their automation technology is not up to the task.
Yep, they are probably understaffed in that regard (poor Google can't afford to hire more people ) and they simply can't check all those apps manually, and probably don't even care much as they are covered with TOS. Whether that's fair approach is another story.. By the way, thanks for reporting this, I added it to the List of fake wallets on Google Play |

I think I saw others complaining about the same thing, and I must say that I agree as I don't really see the reason to have "0" set as default. To be honest, why have any number set as default as all that can cause is either to have to first delete that number or even you may misclick and send way more merit than you initially intended to. Not really a problem for me as I don't remember last time i had more than 6-7 merits to share, but that probably must have happened to merit sources. I guess.

I am dividing streaming services production to time before Game of Thrones and after. That series changed everything and showed streaming services that it is profitable to invest large amount of money and produce qoulity show/movie. Before that you could really see the gap in qoulity, nowadays the situation is much better and you will find even Hollywood A listers staring in some of the shows/movies. To be honest, HBO has a long history of top notch productions years (even decades ) before Game of Thrones appeared. Their shows were always on a completely different level compared to those that were made by for example FOX/NBC/CBS. Just look at the HBO series from 90s/00s like Sopranos, Deadwood, Rome, OZ, Boardwalk Empire, The Wire, Band of Brothers, or Pacific (which is still the most expensive HBO series ever based on price per episode, even more expensive than GoT} that are considered among best series ever. Difference now is that more streaming services appeared thanks to internet so of course number of quality series increased and HBO finally got competition, which is good for us as consumers. But even with all these good new series, if someone asks me to name my top 10 series ever, one or none made in the last 10 years would get into that list.
I've placed bets based on my post quoted above:
Best Picture: The Trial of The Chicago 7
Best Actress: Andra Day (The United States Vs. Billie Holiday)
Best Director: either: Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman) OR Chloe Zhao (Nomadland)
Best Supporting Actress: Youn Yuh-Jung (Minari)
Best Supporting Actor: Lakeith Stanfield (Judas And The Black Messiah) An interesting picks, I still can't decide about few. Problem is that some odds for an obvious favorites are way too low so it doesn't make sense, while those that have decent odds don't look like they have good chances. Our of all "major "categories" the one for Best Supporting Actress seems most uncertain. I see that you bet on Youn Yuh-Jung (Minari) which is imho a good bet as she did a decent job bit I am still trying to get my hands on The Father as I think Olivia Coleman might even scoop that. 10 is a great odd but I don't wanna bet without watching a movie first. I know that its not really important to see the movie in order to bet, but still can't force myself betting like that. |

Hello guys, this is wrong! You can not accuse us of scam or being a Ponzi scheme. We have never defaulted in paying any of our investors! So why jump into wrong conclusions? Anybody that has invested with us, and not gotten their ROI as at when due should come forward!!!
You seriously expect us to believe that 50% ROI on invested BTC is sustainable and legit? Come on, you cant sell that that story to anyone who knows how crypto works. Only newbies that think of BTC as some kind of "magic money" can think that this offer is legit, and those are exactly your target audience! You "users" are as legit as those newbies that you paid to shill your scam. Tag and flags stays! You also know you will not pay the investor in near future.  All the ponzi scheme site pay the investor for some days. And later when some fool big investor come you guys run away with people money. So don’t kidding here that you are legit. Have you any money making machine that you can pay people 50% profit in 24 hours? Lol That would be a best case scenario, in which ponzi pays a little bit so naive investor decides to invest more as he think that's offer is actually legit. Another old trick that works quite often. What's even worse, some of those that fall for this even invite their friends and family. |
