Is it just me or the other thread (by "LoyceV") is getting more attention (from "moderators")?
- Based on recent banned accounts (from user reports).

I created a "thread", to ask if these two threads can be merged into one but I have a feeling, it won't happen (unfortunately).

I have reported this to the staff, Michalis will assist you here as soon as posssible.
Thank you.

Sorry for the trouble you're having here.
It's fine, don't be (it's related to ShapeShift, either as a rule or a mistake). Thank you for your prompt response.

I gather that you know that this unavailability is due to the recent regulations passed in the US regarding assets deemed as securities, correct?
Yes, I do know.

Now, the experience you describe fully matches someone residing in those states, since we are unaware of any such restrictions being in effect in other areas.
Exactly, that's my issue since I'm not from those states.

Of course, I'm not suggesting that you don't know where you live Smiley, but since you're using a VPN perhaps you were connecting to a server located in one of those states? Because as soon as you connected to another server, only EOS, EDG and BAT showed as "Unavailable in your jurisdiction", correct? That's also normal for all US locations, as these three assets cannot be exchanged from within the US, at least from within Exodus that is.
At first, I didn't use a VPN (the screenshot with the error for all of the assets) then when I used a US server (to see if I can bypass those restrictions), I only got the error for those three assets.

If that doesn't sound right, then further investigation is needed and in that case I suggest that you contact us at: support (@) exodus.io. There we'll be able to look into the matter with more detail and find the solution.
Will do (shortly).

we are looking into ways to make these assets available again for all our customers. But at this time I can't say when, or if, something like this might be possible.
Thank you, looking forward to it...

Update:
~Snipped~
Thank you Michalis for the speedy update, I appreciate it Smiley

A new version (1.51.2) has been released couple of days ago. Everyone should upgrade immediately as It contain security fixes and upgrades.
Just finished updating it (I skipped two versions) and now, I can no longer exchange any of the assets due to this error: "Unavailable in your jurisdiction" (I do know this is related to ShapeShift itself) but wanted to ask from "Michalis (mifra)" or anyone with the knowledge, will there be an alternative or a 2nd option for exchanges on Exodus?

Direct SS link: https://imgur.com/a/47LSqdH

- I tried using Exodus with a VPN and got that error for few assets (only) but I didn't risk (exchanging).
- When visiting ShapeShift's website, it redirects to the following page > http://pleaseprotectconsumers.org/ > Scroll down a bit, to see the censored jurisdictions:
  • State of New York
  • State of Washington
  • North Korea

I'm not residing on any of those locations, so I have a feeling it's outdated.
- I already read the following two pages but didn't find its complete list:

You should update/edit your post with "Scam Report Format".

Wanted to know if anyone else has heard of this company or had experience with them
Another user with bad experience: LV MINING LLC

or could help me figure out how to track them down to recoup my money.
I checked their "domain information", nothing useful there (they're hiding everything), meaning there's little to no chance in recovering your money (unfortunately).

You can try the following websites (don't get your hopes up):

1. WalletExplorer
2. CHAINALYSIS

For the record, such websites (cloud mining) always turn out to be scams.

So beware because no one here care about that kind of people
You're wrong. They care and always take actions towards such users (not sure if you were hoping for a reply, from them [usually you won't get any]).
- Most of us, fail to notice what they're doing:
  • For this case, you can easily check "Deletion log (mod log)" and search for his/her "UID".

WE need to get rid of these broken english speaking scammers!!!!!.
In addition to what "Jet Cash" said:

It isn't the country of origin, but the posters motivation and attitude that is the problem.
- There's also this:

19. Possible (or real) scams and Trust ratings are not moderated (to prevent moderation abuse).

The best solution is to just remove signatures completely.   In most of the threads, no actual conversation even takes place.  It's just people posting their few lines for their signature  campaigns.   Bitcointalk would be 100x better without signatures.  Keep this place for real conversations, crypto lovers, and not 3rd world crypto scammers.
Not sure why you're mixing scam with spam on this topic, but "theymos" already ruled it out (your suggestion):

I have mostly ruled out:

 - Removing signatures or sig ads globally.

Yes, your activity isn't affected by quality of your posts.

   2)Do we can get merit points by posting average quality posts?
You can (less likely).

   3)Is there any system to determine whether the posts are quality or not?(because its dependent by person to person)
No.

Do you guys know of any trustable websites to buy Play Store gift cards from?
Depending on your location, you can try the following:

1. gyft - Available in "US".
2. GiftOff - Has "UK" Play Store gift cards.

I had a great experience with "SteadyTurtle" (you shouldn't have any issues with having a legal crypo project).
You can read some of their reviews "on their ann thread here".
5070  Economy / Reputation / Re: Tag possible hacked accounts on: May 14, 2018, 03:02:03 AM
I have posted neg trust and PMed the two users asking to come here and respond.
Same here.
I think other involved accounts (accounts that recently received merits), should be tagged as well:
- whoever that controls "Beachguy" and "toptek", most likely has access to other merited accounts as well (there's a pattern):

  • Recent merit transfers, are for older posts.
  • All of the merited users, have been inactive (in terms of posting) for quite some time.
  • Their last active time is "May 12, 2018" (merited users)

- I have a feeling that, those merited accounts will be used at some point in the future.
5071  Other / Meta / Re: Captcha /or similar service/ for newbies and jr.membrs, to prevent bots. on: May 14, 2018, 12:42:32 AM
Let me know what you think.
I like the idea but unfortunately, bots can easily bypass such services (FWIK) too, so something else is needed.

Based on my observation (checked few random profiles, from your other thread), bots are not the only reason behind such accounts.

I've now managed to import all reviews from my Dealer. Currently in progress   Smiley
That's odd Shocked

You shouldn't be doing that but instead, only allow your future customers to leave a review (based on their overall experience of the website and etc...)
- At the moment it looks like a bunch of fakes reviews (duplicate reviews with different names, reviews with dates prior to creation of the website itself).

You should consider changing the email address to something else:
- A Gmail account, doesn't give a good first impression (for such website).
- Create an email based on your domain.

How can you provide "free shipping to over 200 countries"?
5073  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Crypto Pocket Guide?? (arbitrage,news,airdrops,icos,events) all in one app!! on: May 13, 2018, 03:12:28 PM
I took a step back and didn't install it. Why it needs to "read our phone status and identity"?
- I checked few other similar apps and it wasn't part of their app permissions.

This app has access to:

Phone
  • read phone status and identity

Device ID & call information
  • read phone status and identity

Other
  • receive data from Internet
  • view network connections
  • full network access
  • run at startup
  • control vibration
  • prevent device from sleeping

and what makes this app special is it's low space (less than 2 MB)
You might want to change that to "less than 4 MB" instead.
5074  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Jaxx wallet doesnt change address anymore on: May 13, 2018, 01:23:35 PM
my address doesnt change anymore after receiving different transactions.
Since you said "anymore": Did you, by any chance start using "Jaxx" after very long time?

For which coin?
- From its help section:
Quote
In Jaxx, all coins are HD; however, all Ethereum ERC-20 tokens are not.
PS. We have disabled HD for Ethereum as of Jaxx version 1.2.13 - More on this here

If that's not your case, then your only option is to try what "TryNinja" suggested.

Can we request for more details, in regards to this and the team behind "BITHOME"?

I would suggest to allow "buyers" to have the ability to choose two or more options in the typeform.
5076  Economy / Reputation / Re: Tag possible hacked accounts on: May 13, 2018, 06:39:54 AM
Lucky newbies or possible hackers?
latter.

If it is a case of merit abuse, then it is default members who take action.
It is and possibly, bunch of hacked accounts as well:

In regards to "merit abuse" (involving both accounts, exact similar behavior):

  • Recent merit transfers, are for older posts.
  • All of the merited users, have been inactive (in terms of posting) for quite some time.
  • Their last active time is "May 12, 2018" (merited users)

In regards to "possibly involving hacked accounts":

  • Both users, changed passwords after sending all of these merits (exact same behavior again):

Last merit sent by "toptek":
May 12, 2018, 10:54:17 AM: 10
Password:
Quote
May 12, 2018, 10:54:44 AM - toptek - password changed


Last merit sent by "Beachguy":
May 12, 2018, 10:16:53 AM: 13
Password:
Quote
May 12, 2018, 10:18:47 AM - Beachguy - password changed

OP, great catch but this thread belongs to "Reputation board" instead.
5077  Other / New forum software / Re: Welcome Message for Newbie on: May 13, 2018, 05:46:42 AM
I do love to suggest also if someone not yet suggest this thing:

Like on Reddit or Gmail, after creating an account an auto mail will be coming to your inbox as welcoming letter and list of things to do when you made your account and you log-in with it.
IIRC, "hilariousandco" made a similar suggestion (I couldn't find the exact post [to link it as reference]) and I think, it's useful enough (to be implemented).
5078  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Bitcoin Crowd Funding Platform To save Lives. on: May 12, 2018, 06:52:57 PM
I dont know what you mean by real facebook page because all those accounts are operational and used by the designated people.
Apart from its founder, the other two board members, have incorrect links (it gives the following error):

Quote
This page isn't available
The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed.

On the issue of address,if say your father openned up an account in your names and put money on it before your born,does that equate to being creepy!
That's not the case for this one (stop making excuses).

- On your website, the campaign has 0.041BTC through donations (it's clear enough, based on everything there [donated amount, target and progress]) and it also matches the list on the "Life Savers Wall".

And again:
= You received donations prior to creating the platform and the accident itself (that's new) Huh Shocked

always think ahead.
Exactly Roll Eyes

Instead of someone verifying the campaign its self,say by calling the person on the campaign and asking for more info,someone is verifying an address used to collect funds.thats creepy
Read again:
(most will try to make a fake story or use someone else's story as a cover-up).
- When you can easily verify everything (the address, dates and few other things), why should someone take other routes?!

I would like to introduce to you a bitcoin crowd funding platform dedicated to save lives of people in life threatening situations,feel free to check out more information on our website at http://www.bitneedy.com.
It's always a bit tricky, when it comes to finding out if such platforms are scams or not (most will try to make a fake story or use someone else's story as a cover-up).

In regards to the above line, I did some research (based on the only present campaign):

  • Your platform was made on:
Quote
Domain Name: BITNEEDY.COM
Creation Date: 2018-04-20T00:00:00Z
- "22 days ago".

Quote
3BibjtBczDCobJjPngkfGvW7sbrB7ZYh28
- You started receiving donations "7 months, 12 days ago".

- Meaning "5 months, 16 days ago".


= You received donations prior to creating the platform and the accident itself (that's new) Huh Shocked
