5281  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Another fake electrum wallet on google playstore on: December 07, 2020, 07:08:41 AM
I tried to search for it on Google Playstore but I don't see if as the original electrum, wallet keeps coming up, probably because I have it installed. If possible, please include the malicious app's link so that I can help report from side. The google guys kind of act quick when it comes to phishing and malicious apps and take them down as soon as possible.
This is the link:

Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.e.l.e.c.t.r.u.m.pro
I think what he meant is that he can't see this fake Electrum wallet if he just types "Electrum" or Electrum wallet" inside PlayStore. So I decided to check, and as a matter of fact I could see not one but three fake Electrum wallets inside the PlayStore, even though I have the real Electrum already installed. Here are two more

Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fatalkoes.poalkoe
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fatbs.lokene

It is a fact that huge majority of people download their apps via PlayStore and not directly and have no idea how dangerous that can be, so this is becoming a real issue now. There are several cases each month, and this number will keep increasing if Google doesn't react and start checking them manually.

Am I really the only one who noticed this ^^^ school example of plagiarism??

Not only that he copied Kojektea's votes including the two typos, Julanbex is also guilty of ban evading as he has two previously banned accounts. I made a post about his copy/paste voting and  ban evading case yesterday. Not a surprise that newbie accounts started  showing up, given the circumstances, but this often happens to those that are greedy enough to crawl out of the  bounty section. School example of stupidity.


Get that julanbex guy out of here.
He will get banned, but that won't be the last of him for sure.
5283  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: Glasanje za najbolji bitcointalk intervju on: December 06, 2020, 11:30:15 AM
@Rikafip ni meni se nije dalo odogovarati na tej debilni intevju, dobio poziv prije nekih 2 i nes mjeseca , kad sam vidio koliko ljudi pise i koliko je intervjuirano samo sam to ignorirao.

Ma meni je osobno bas dobra ta ideja sa intervjuima, neke sam sa gustom procitao, jedino je mozda trebalo biti restriktivniji kod slanja pozivnica tako da se ipak odrzi neka kvaliteta. Ja jednostavno nisam postao taj intervju jer sam lijen da ga dovrsim. Poceo sam odgovarati, dosao do negdje pola i onda me smorilo i evo tako stoji vec par mjeseci ali planiram ga dovrsiti.

A reagirao sam tamo u onoj temi jer nisam htio da se pretvori kao u ono drugo glasanje, gdje su poceli nicati svakakvi sumnjivi likovi u lovu na merit. Evo jednog  dobrog primjera o cemu govorim. Kuzim ja da ljudi daju merite za zahvalu  te neki nemaju nikakvih skrivenih motiva iza toga, ali htio ti to ili ne, privuci ce se svakakav sljam koji je spreman sve napraviti za par merita.

Ali dobro, mislim da nema previse smisla oko toga vise polemizirati, idemo dalje.
5284  Other / Meta / Re: Merit Source - Plagiarist on: December 06, 2020, 07:36:59 AM
In a stricter sense like in case this was published somewhere else, what was done here could be counted as plagiarism even if a credit was given at the end of an article or a book for example?
For example, in academic world, if you verbatim copy something without making clear distinction that's not your own words (and you do that by putting those sentences in quotation marks) it will be seen as plagiarism, even if you provide reference link at the end. So yeah, in those circles this would count as plagiarism.

Then again, we are on bitcointalk and here we have a bit more relaxed rules in regard to that, so those that call for a ban/tag over something like this are wrong simply because according to bitcointalk practice, this is not plagiarism. As simple as that.

With that being said, I do think that people should be encouraged to deal with verbatim copying in a proper way, no matter whether bitcointalk see it as a plagiarism or not, simply because it is an honest and right thing to do and by doing that we are setting an example for the others, especially new members. I tried to explain that to some users (I thought it's just a matter of ignorance)  that verbatim copying should be dealt with in a proper manner, to no avail.

2 Accounts Connected:

1. posi
2. hulla

We all know that there is nothing wrong with having an alt account, as long as you don't break bounty campaign rules and exchange the trust or merit between your alts, but those two accounts did the latter. It will be interesting to hear an explanation for this.

As it can be seen from hulla bpip screenshot below, they exchanged quite a few merit between themselves. Hulla sent 25 merit to posi, and posi sent 12 merit back.

5287  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM] Tapsgame Casino using fake team member photos! on: December 05, 2020, 11:12:37 AM
And once again all this is fault of a sloppy designer (who also has a fake photo)...

Hello
I understand your concerns here. The team is completely real. 2 images used here are completely due to the error of our designer. Because it is forbidden to represent betting projects in our Country, 2 team members had to hide their photos. It was quite sad that this situation was licked. I hope that in the future we will resolve this problem of trust.


Team members section is laughable and looking like its been written by a 14 year old. Just look at this description of their developers Thomas Jane and Angel Mihu. Who wouldn't be confident in success of the project that has such an experienced developers who "complete their work very quickly and completely". Rest of the team members description ain't any better.





Using filters to change the images slightly and stopping the reverse image searching method is now being used by many scammers. Like I previously said, scammers and anti-scammers are like cat and mouse game.
Yep, one of the oldest tricks in the book. Smarter ones are using AI generated images, which are sometimes much harder to detect while these nincompoops think that using basic filter will hide the real source.


Lookin at their terrible and choppy to navigate website I can see they are just using buzz words like nft and gambling to attract more people.
NFT might lead the next bubble, so no surprise that scammers are already adapting to that using it as a buzzword to attract the investors. One thing we know about scammers that they keep adapting to new market condition.

This is really incredible! I wonder what they thought they are meriting: the fact that they are mentioned in the contest by a Newbie, whose nominations are null?; the fact that a Newbie is breaking the contest rules? Or what are they meriting here?
Just look at this case from yesterday, Newbie copying votes from another member. Now, some might say that this was pure coincidence, that two members voted for exactly the same people in all 13 categories and I guess that could happen, but  this guy even included the two typos of the person he copied from, making it an obvious and mindless c/p. Before this he never posted outside bounty section in his bitcointalk career, but he decided to seize the opportunity.

First user Kojektea voted and while doing so, he made a few typos.

11. Antihero                      > lauda
12. Absolute Hero of Good  > Theymos
13. Miss Bitcointalk            > Tman

And then few hours later Newbie account appeared with exactly the same votes, including the typos which I put in bold. Mission accomplished, he got what he came for.

One more project that is puting the blame on the designer. Those fake photos are both in your whitepaper and website. Did he designed your whitepaper too?

If betting is forbidden in your country, how will your CEO properly develop the project if he has to hide all the time?I don't see how this can work. Also, you claim that CEO worked in Casino, but yet again is betting is somehow forbidden. That doesn't make much sense either. On top of that, if you really wanted to stay anonymous you could just say so, and not use another people's photos and then trying to hide the source by applying filters.

What about other three team members? Are their photos and identities real, as you said only two had to hide their identity?


I don't think it's the error from designers but looks like it was done on purpose, why should use photos of another person while you can launch the project anonymously (although it's not fully trusted nowadays). Stole people's identity is a bad step if you want to gain trust from the community in the project.
Yeah I think so too. They want people to invest in their project, and people are more inclined to do so when they see team member photos. As simple as that.

As far as I am concerned, both tag and flag stays as I can't trust someone who does such thing.

Hi tapstoken.

Care to explain why you used another people's photos for at least two of your team members? Not that I know any legit explanation for this but I would still like to hear it.

As explained in the link below, photos of your CEO Christian Propst and Graphic Designer Jim Hopper. I see no reason why honest and legit company would do something unethical like this.

According to Tapsgame website, this is picture of Christian Props, their CEO and Founder and he is as they put it "manager who knows". As you can see, photo is put through some sort of filter, probably to hide the real source.




A little bit of reverse image search and what you get is the original picture without filters. Thing is, real person behind this picture is not called Christian Props, but Jordan Kamcev, North Macedonian businessman and according to his wiki page and Forbes, richest person in North Macedonia.




Then there is another fake team member photo. According to Tapsgame, this is Jim Hopper, graphic designer



And this is the real picture they used. Person on the photo is Ammar Ahmad, CEO of AMR Hair & Beauty, Australian company.  





tl;dr Two out of five team members with fake team members photo means that most likely rest is fake too, therefore this is nothing but a scam made for getting people's money and then disappearing without the trace. Please tag the OP and support the flag!
5293  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: Mjesečna Analiza za Hrvatsku Lokalnu Zajednicu (Bitcointalk Croatian) on: December 04, 2020, 10:31:50 AM
Znam da neki nisu mogli spavati od brige i uzjebanosti, ali evo napokon je tu, zeljno iscekivana mjesecna analiza naseg boarda Cheesy

Kao i uvijek do sada, podaci su  preuzeti sa @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboarda. Detalje mozete naci tamo.



Broj postova u periodu 1.11-30.11

Iako sam nekako ocekivao da budemo jos bolji nego u 10/2020 kad je napisano 946 postova, prosli mjesec smo ipak bili  malo slabiji. 800 napisanih postova je otprilike 15% pad, tako da nije neki razlog za uzbunu. Samim time smo i malo pali kad se uspredjujemo sa ostalim boardovima, ali vjerujem da cemo ovaj mjesec biti jos bolji jer smo napokon dobili dodatne podforume, te se vratio bitan clan HR dijela foruma.

Sto se tice ovog pie charta dolje, on izgleda malo cudno jer su neki boardovi otisli u minus kod prebacivanja, ali to ce se sve srediti kad migracija tema zavrsi.




Aktivnost boarda po mjesecima, cisto da se dobije cjelovitija slika




A ovako izgleda chart kad se uspredimo sa ostalim lokalnim boardovima. Prosli mjesec smo bili cetvrti najaktivniji board a ovaj mjesec smo malo pali, ali i dalje je to prilicno dobro. Najvece iznenadjenje su Rusi i Turci koji su zamjenili mjesta. Mozda su Rusi napokon smanjili kolicinu shitpostanja i spama koji se tamo odvija.

Jedna novost je i to da sam odlucio dodati i par threadova iz  Other Languages/Locations koji nemaju svoje lokalne boardove (Bangladesh, pakistan, Nigerija i Srbija) te su oznaceni sa *.





Analiza merita za period 1.11-30.11

Unatoc padu broja postova, broj podijeljenih merita nastavlja rasti zadnjih par mjeseci. U odnosu na prethodno razdoblje se  povecao sa 181 na 210, sto je 5. najbolji rezultat uopce. Osim naravno nasih membera i merit sourceva, za ovakav fin broj je zaluzno  i par clanova izvan naseg boarda tako da mislim da bi se trebalo cesce koristit onu temu Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source. Ja sam u zadnjih par tjedana prijavio nasa 3 clana kojima su ti "vanjski" pomogli sa par merita koje im je falilo za rankanje tako da mislim da ne bi bilo lose da  nastavimo sa time dok dkbit98 ne postane merit source.

Evo i liste onih koji su dijelili i dobijali merite




Ovako to izgleda po mjesecima, vidi se fina uzlazna putanja zadnja 3 mjeseca te se nadam da ce se tako i nastaviti.





Ostale chartove sa usporedbama nas i ostalih boardova cu napraviti za par dana jer su tek danas izasli podaci za merit.

@CryptopreneurBrainboss Is it really necessary to award everyone that votes for your interview with merit? I fully understand that you can do with your merit whatever you want, but imho that's not the best use of merit you got as a merit source. Rest assured, there will be people who will vote for you only based on that, as that's what people do when they see chance for an easy merit.

As a matter of fact you are doing the same thing in that Community awards thing, and also ain't cool at all.

Angell borrowed 40k satoshi and never paid it back. LOL it was like $4 at the time.

He should have just sold his account, he'd make much more money
I am pretty sure that he had an honest intention to pay you back, but this sudden increase in BTC price competely messed his plans and what was once 4 USD loan now it's 8 USD so it's no surprise that he has issues repaying it.

Joke aside, this has to be one of the most ridiculous cases of loan default. To basically ruin reputation over 4 USD is just insane. Zero fucks given from that guy.

Imas vremena do 17.12 da promjenis glas, tako da sansa za  merit jos nije izgubljena Cheesy. Ali smijesno mi je vidit kako su odmah low level accounti to skuzili pa glasaju za njega.


glasao sam i ja, i vidim da ste obojica glasali za DeFi kao fail-of-the-year, sto mi je bas interesantno, jer ja to vidim kao jedan od najuspesnijih dogadjaja ove godine

mozete li negde dati vise informacija zasto tako mislite
Pa mozemo i ovdje obrazlagati  svoje glasove. Ja sam glasao za DeFi kao Fail Of The Year prvenstveno zbog kolicine scama koji se nakacio na to i snizavanja kriterija za ulaganje i listanje na mjenjacnice. Vise ti ne treba ni whitepaper ni team, dovoljan je hype i velik volumen da se nakon dan-dva pojavis na Binance (npr SushiSwap). Naravno nitko nije nikome kriv sto ulozi u takve dubiozne projekte, ali eto ne mislim da je to zdravo za kripto trziste. Hrpa ljudi ce popusiti lovu pa ce reci da je sav crypo scam, kao sto smo vidjeli 2017/2018.

Da se razumijemo, ne mislim da je sav DeFi scam, ima tu i zanimljivih projekata i primjena a bit ce ih i jos, ali trenutno mi velika vecina lici na get rich quick scheme.

Nisam čitao pravila ali mi je zapelo za oko da prima i full membere. Nekako očekujem malu lovu i male zahtjeve as usual Smiley pa tko voli nek izvoli.
Bas naprotiv, on je specifican po tome sto njegove kampanje nude malu lovu a redovno imaju velike zahtjeve (bar ove nove koje donosi). Serem mu se u carapu za ono da ne moze staviti sve boardove koji se ne broje pod istu stavku, nego je sve razbacano. Ali tako to ide kad ce c/p pravila od nekog drugog bez puno razmisljanja.


@RegulusHr Iako je Bitvest s razlogom omrazena kampanja (mislim da smo kao board po prvi put od kad sam ja ovdje totalno Bitvest free) mislim da nije lose za pocetak prijaviti se tamo. Postovi se broje skoro svuda, a tih 15 postova lako odradis i u nasem dijelu. Jebiga od negdje se treba krenuti. Doduse mislim da ces ipak morati biti aktivan jedno vrijeme prije nego te prihvate.

I just checked Croatian local board, and at least one thread's reply count is off (by 1 ). At first I thought that only threads with deleted posts might be affected, but then I found few threads that have correct reply count while also having bunch of posts deleted, so I guess that cant be the reason for discrepancy.


The number of posts you will be made will not count directly as activity for it needed some time before it will be counted.

Will you start reading the posts properly before shitposting in order to fill the signature quota? You keep doing the same thing, littering the forum. I honestly can't believe that you are paid 40 USD per week to write that kind of garbage.
