The address hasn't been tied to an identity. Where did you get the address from? If you were dealing via personal messages then investigating the users account and posting history would probably be better. This address hasn't been posted publicly before.

Seems the coins are received and moved on quickly which could mean they are being sent to an address which is owned by the same person. That's hard to prove though and wouldn't be solid evidence.

Dont rush up since trust rating cant really be gain easily because you would really need up to be trusted and make some micro trades that would turn out to build up your trust. This thing really takes time and cant really be done over time this is why you should not be on a hurry. Just build it up nice and smooth among community members.

Trust shouldn't be encouraged to be farmed by making micro transactions or trades. You gain trust by being active in the forum, helping the forum or trading. But, one shouldn't be encouraged to trade to get their trust rating up. Anyway, these days we have established escrows which are normally involved in the trade which takes the trusting aspect out of the buyer and sellers hands.

It's the escrow which is handling the goods/payment and is normally risk free for the buyer/seller due to this. If anything it's only the escrow you need to trust.

You need to be more specific. What program are you using to create/view the spreadsheet. Are you talking about a bounty campaigns public spreadsheet?

Give the account name and we might be able to find it for you, or a staff member will tell you why you can't find it.

You would require the private key of the address you sent to to import it back into the correct chain. I don't believe Coinbase allows you to see/copy the private key. Therefore, you should contact their support and explain what has happened. They may be able to help you by either giving you the private key or sending the transaction themselves.

Depends how fast you want it to be confirmed. Fees are a little bit higher than they were a few months ago. A good reference point is here: https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/

Before sending any transaction always check that website to avoid having transactions stuck for days on end.

PM that to cyrus. I don't think that email is actively looked at anymore.

Your first post was removed two days ago. You ignored that warning and didn't amend your requirement/bonus for posting to the thread and then reposted it yesterday. Seems like you've only now learned because of the repercussions. If it was simply deleted again and you wasn't banned, you would of likely just posted it again.

I see that you've now changed your requirements for the bonus which is a step in the right direction. You might be able to work something out with the staff.

No. You can't find out what wallet was used based just on the address. Do you have access to the private keys/seed? If you do you can import that information into any wallet client that you want.

What about topics which would normally reside in Meta? I think keeping forum related topics should be kept in meta. Potentially adding one serious child board for each section could also be something to look at so it's easier to filter if this is successful and popular enough.

I like the Idea and it's a step in the right direction to Avoid Sig Ad Spammers but i think what you said above is going to backfire and it's going to be a mess in there in a few days.

As theymos stated, it's entirely experimental which means if it's abused then more defined restrictions could be put into place once it's been tried and tested.

What exactly is the motivation behind this? Which of the existing forum's problems is this supposed to solve?

Readability. I think it was JetCash awhile back complaining that his constructive thread was getting drowned out by the mass of signature spammers and account farmers. Hopefully, this will be a place which can rectify this and allow people to discuss what they want without being exposed to the bullshit responses.

Probably alt accounts, but there isn't anything against the rules of having alternate accounts. I don't speak chinese so have no idea what the thread is about and what their replies are. If they are breaking the rules though by just spamming, then report the posts and include in the report field that they believe they are connected.

I believe it's been mentioned before that sometimes the forum blocks Imgur images. Try using a different imagine hosting site to link too. It'll probably fix the issue. If not post the link that you are trying to post and we'll take a look whether or not there's something else which is preventing it from being submitted.

Are you posting a direct link to the image?

You can verify a PGP signature by using many different programs available for download. For example, for Windows there's a program called Veracrypt which is quite easy to understand and use.

Another program is GPG4Win. There's probably some websites which allow you to do this too. I'm using Linux so aren't 100% familiar with the best program to use. Personal preference I guess. I suggest verifying signatures for every single program you use though it's a very handy security precaution.

I don't know what I'm doing right but, I haven't received one of these messages. I'm guessing it depends on what boards the users are posting in regular and I suppose boards like speculation and Altcoin annoucements/Tokens are the ones to be spammed. I would of thought the new PM limits would of done enough to prevent this, but I guess it's way too easy to make an account.

Thank you it was using the cached version. Now I see the new update. The 3.0.4 download is showing a warning from my anti-virus but it should be good to download right? I know sometimes they will show that although this is the first time my anti virus has flagged electrum

Make sure by verifying the PGP signature. These are located in brackets next to the download files.

For example the Windows executable signature:

If you need the signature for the Linux distributions you can find the PGP signature next to the sources download on that page.

https://electrum.org/#download

If you follow that link then 3.0.4 is there at the top. If you are using a Linux distribution:

Code:

 Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pyqt5 python3-pip
Install Electrum:
sudo pip3 install https://download.electrum.org/3.0.4/Electrum-3.0.4.tar.gz

The only thing I can think of is that your browser is using a cached version of the website instead of a live version. (clearing your cache for that particular website might do the trick)

Here's an alternative link which has all the previous versions aswell as 3.0.4: https://download.electrum.org/

Thank you.

But I was planning to make a Good profil. Then He just broke it for notting.

If I Use the profil for years will my trust network not get bigger and then show?

It won't show unless the person that leaves you feedback becomes part of the DefaultTrust. That requires them to be included in trust lists by the existing DefaultTrust. The only way your going to get it removed is by talking to the user who left it, maybe you can sort it out between yourselves. Unfortunately, there's no reference in the feedback either so not a lot of people are going to take notice of the feedback without any context.

Apparently he left a backdoor on his way out: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.msg20476143#msg20476143 (which still remained quoted)

If recovering an account was easy, then the above would be all it takes. Account recoveries are seldom straightforward, they take time and precision but it's ultimately in the rightful owner's benefit.

Well, at least he's smart enough to not delete or edit my past post that shows my address
I'm pretty sure with my recovery request topic I've created in meta should be enough to make his signed message not valid/legit, yes?
Anyway, he probably ran away to another bought account though, he's still online without any sign of new post being made

You could always contact the person who quoted the address to delete it. Point him towards your recovery requests/signatures and then delete the message yourself. You've already proven that your the rightful owner and it's probably best to try and get that removed for later on down the line someone may request you to sign it. The hacker could also try and link to that and sign the address to 'prove' to others than are not informed about this.

I used just 1 mail with italian IP. Now mail is different and IP is non-italian.
+ italian mod is ready to confirm that the account is stole and that is mine.

What Cyrus or theymos need more? 'cmon is so easy.
Different way is use the registration mail to recover it.

Is all easy and safe procedure used by tons of others boards, why here is so hard?
Seems like admin have no interest/time to manage these problems and that's so sad.

The forum has been compromised in the past. Which means it's probably best to assume that if a account has been compromised so as it's email because people have a tendency to use the same password for many different logins.

IPs are trivial very easy to spoof. Your probably right that the admins have little interest with this as they get bombarded by hundreds of messages per week and a lot of them will be about hacked accounts and the majority of them would be with little proof and they have to spend multiple hours a day taking a look at the account. Signing a message makes it easier for them to assure the person requesting access to the account is indeed the owner.

Very unlikely you'll get the negative feedback removed. I would suggest proving that you wasn't in control of the account at the time and provide the signed address you used to gain control to the account with.

You may have it reduced to a neutral this way, but honestly probably not going to happen.
