Bumping Ann thread by giving payment which is not allowed according to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2103687.0
Isn't it part of scam activity?
While scams are not moderated, in this case FreelancerChainPlatform is breaking the forum rules so just report their ANN to the moderators and it should be deleted.

Good catch by the way. I noticed that suspicious activity in their thread few days ago, but at that time they haven't added that text about giveaway in exchange for bitcointalk comments.

First let's start with their currently ongoing IEO, that they plan to last for 12 months, with huge difference in token price. Current price is 1 XIZ= 0.1 USD while in the last sale round price will be 1.2 USD. Who in the right mind will join the later stages when those in the first round bought the tokens for 90%+  discount?
According to their IEO page, they sold 1,681,500 XIZ (worth 168,150 USD) but somehow I doubt that number.


In order to attract traders, they will have VIP program. Problem with that program is that it sounds to good to be true, and we all know what happens in those cases.




VIP program is not the only way they plan to incentivize users. For them they prepared various rewards, ranging from Ipads and Imac Pro to Porsche 911 and an actual Lamborghini. I don't know how can someone actually believe this, that they will send luxury cars all around the world to their users.




Last but not the least, this is what they say about their team, yet their names and  are nowhere to be found
Quote
Bitradez was founded by the world’s leading senior blockchain experts and computer engineers. Bitradez team is present worldwide, working in a decentralized manner. Present anytime, anywhere in the world.


tl;dr
  • big token dicounts for early stages (90%+)
  • ridiculous rewards that include Lambo and Porsche
  • huge referral awards (up to 40%)
  • no team identity

Therefore, stay away from this as it is dodgy af.
6185  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [WARNING] XTRM- Plagiarized content on: May 31, 2020, 06:19:05 AM
i have deleted ann and bounty thread ..... and gived Alert to....  
And now it's live again!  Huh
They probably paid him a little bit extra so he continues with bounty campaign. Extra money will make him feel less bad for promoting  an obvious scam. Interestingly, soon after your warning message in their thread, he locked the topic once again. I guess he simply can't decide what to do.

It is hard not to notice bounty hunters that immediately joined the campaign after unlocking, they aren't any better. They chose to ignore warnings, tags and flags and BM previous bounty abuse history. And then after some time when they don't get the tokens, they will come to scam accusation board, crying how they got scammed for tokens, after "months of hard work" aka Twitter/FB campaign.

6186  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Beaware about virus [QnodeCoin] on: May 30, 2020, 03:15:30 PM
Most qt wallets are detected with malware even the bitcoin-qt wallet on virustotal. Which you can't assure the legitimacy of the report not unless the source code of the software was audited by the open-source community without any issue.
True, Virus Total might give false results, but in this case there is no question what's going on. There are several red flags beside Virus Total result:
  • account used was made in 2012, wakes up after  8 years break and immediately makes self-moderated thread
  • Ann of the project (Qnode) already exists. This looks like combination of two, Qnode and Qnodecoin. It is their standard practice, to use real project name so people think its legit


@OP Best place to report fake  ANN threads with malware is this thread in Meta Report Malware and Suspicious Links here so Mods can take Action !. Every day there are several attempts like that, so when you come across them, just make a post  there, and don't forget to report the thread to mods so it gets deleted before someone downloads it.

"NBA commissioner Adam Silver and the league office informed Board of Governors that July 31 is a target date for return of season!"
source: https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1266445710196695040
About time to set some date, so they can start planning!


And to continue the news here are the potential formats that they are discussing.
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-discussed-four-potential-formats-for-return-to-play-during-board-of-governors-call-friday-per-report/
I say go for that 4th plan which is 72 games to give chance to those who are in lower seeds.
That 4th option looks like most reasonable one, with least amount of teams getting complaints (not counting Lillard and his whining)  It is important not to forget financial aspect as well, so every team will play enough games to get money from TV rights deal.
In that case season might be longer, but that could be sorted by making playoff series shorter ,  maybe best of 5 series could be a solution. If players need standard break after the season, next one could be made shorter, like in those lockout cases. That way next season could start at the end of the year, giving players enough time to rest and recuperate. Just throwing some ideas around..
6188  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion for improving user experience when reporting posts on: May 30, 2020, 07:10:45 AM
It's more of a milestone IMO. To incentivize users to reach a minimum of X good reports to receive a certain perk.
If every user here would have at least 300 good reports things would definitely look different  Tongue
Yeah I guess so, that report history is meant to be an incentive in order for people to report more, but from my personal experience, it was more of an annoyance than incentive, not to be able to see status of my reports, especially when i reported in bulk. Maybe others would report more if they have some kind of feedback right from the start.

I noticed that people asked for badges as some kind of reward for those that reports posts on regular basis. That could be much better incentive than gating useful feature that could be especially helpful to those that are just starting reporting.
6189  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM] Goldario- ponzi scheme promising 200%+ profit! on: May 30, 2020, 06:45:38 AM
Well, I think that Goldario bounty is runnig by a user called KaziSajib (BTT Profile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1146060) who already has red trust. He created a group and invited a few translators and other bounty hunters from his last project (Arc-Iris bounty, Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5208874.0) to join the Goldario bounty.
Yeah i heard about KaziSajib, when I was investigating that scammy  Arc-Iris Hydrogen project. Seems like sk hossin is indeed his alt account that he is using now when his main one got tagged and flagged. Thanks for letting me know, sk hossin tagged and flagged, please support

1) priority text within reports (e.g. [P1], [P2], etc. prefixes)

I know moderators probably get sick of my reports too, which is why I inserted my priority system for better filtering.
So this actually works, inserting prefixes so mods can prioritize reports? If yes, that's great!

Just one question, since I report posts on the regular basis and would like to include that when reporting: how do you grade those reports? I guess posts with malware links are top priority, and  general spam in altcoin section very low, but how about the others? (posts with referrals, consecutive posts etc)



Since OP suggested few changes, there is one I would like to see and might make reporting easier for those that are just starting - to remove that requirement of 300 good reports in order to get access to report history. If it's not matter of some tehnical reason why it's not available for everyone, why make such restriction?
6195  Economy / Reputation / Re: [LIST] ANN threads that are using bumping services on: May 29, 2020, 07:26:08 AM
Two new ANN threads have been added to the list:

37. [ANN] [CryptoNight] BminerCoin - Heavy mining and remote control
As explained in this post from SpamBusters topic, it is an obvious case of thread bumping, that is still going on.


38. 🚀AFFILCOIN: STAKE & DELEGATE |DPoS|🔥PROFIT-10% a month|🤑PROMO-EARN 100k COINS
Beside being generally shady project with affiliate shenanigans, there are also several red flags that point to use of bumping service:
  • almost no activity for the first few months since ANN creation, and then suddenly week ago thread got significant increase in activity
  • thread full of one liners and quote pyramids
  • accounts used are Newbie rank made in 2018/2019 with no prior posting history
  • majority of accounts are also bumping another project that is already on the list, Tozex

6196  Other / Meta / Re: 2FA on Forum Accounts on: May 29, 2020, 06:29:52 AM
This has been asked several times before, and I agree that it would be welcomed addition, but I doubt that it will happen, as it would take attention out of new forum development. That feature might be available when new forum is up and ready. Some of the questions are answered in these topic from few years ago (there are several more created throughout the years where you can probably find some answers).
Why doesn't Bitcointalk support 2FA?  
Isn't it time to introduce 2FA to enhance user account security ?
Do you agree to have 2fa Authentication on Bitcointalk.org?

Food token is back, with the new ANN and new account. From what i can see, they have the same team members as before. I guess they thought by making a new one and locking it  they will somehow go unnoticed here. This time they even decided to lock the topic, probably afraid of the negative comments.

Yep, we saw these before. Usually they are to lazy to go for this option, but sometime they put some effort, like now. They probably think that they will avoid getting topic deleted, if malware link is not shared directly on the forum.

It would always be the best option if they keep their families away from any NBA camps and facilities at this dire situation. Focusing on the players, coaching staff, camera men, and other personnel's health security and carefully implement precautionary measure and guidelines would be the priority.
If I am a NBA player, I would want to keep away my family from all this, and not additionally endanger them, by being quarantined by bunch of other people. I really don't get those that can't be away from family for 2 months, especially when you know that you are keeping them safe by doing that.


Nothing really. He speaks from his Christian POV. Funny thing, those players are most likely Christians too, but just on "paper", or when it fits them like on Christmas or other holidays. Not many have strength and courage to say something like that. Worst of all, it seems that somehow they interpret that as defending those police officers who all deserve long jail sentences for what they did ( but I doubt that they will get more than few years max, if even that).
