SFR10 has created a new signature design for us, lots of thanks to him for that. We ask all signature campaign participants to update their signatures.

We have also got another avatar and now any participant can choose from three avatars as they wish.
Hm, looks to me that Sr Member signature has too many characters, as max supported is 4000. Same goes for Hero/Legendary

By the way, both signatures and new avatar option look great!
6342  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion for improving user experience when reporting posts on: May 29, 2020, 07:39:04 AM

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?
6343  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

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.

Another of those suspicious ANN threads where OP wakes up after big break (probably hacked/sold account), makes self-moderated ANN and adds malware link a bit later. Adding thread here so I can keep an eye on it and add malware once it added.

Seems to be a "get your malware from telegram only" kind of ann.
I would suggest posting when you are sure as they probably read this thread also
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).

Hey! I am aware that the ANN is from a very reputable member but I don't understand whats the point in creating new ANNs every day? Does it not break any rules of Bitcointalk?
From what i can see, the old ANN has been moved to archival, after new one has been made. So it's not like someone is spamming forum with ANN threads. Users can make new ANN threads for various reasons.

I added Possible because I don't have much experience on how these things are shared, this is my first time actually so I would like to apologise if I messed anything up. My sole intention is to help and keep bitcointalk a safe and healthy place. Thanks for understanding. Smiley
No need to apologize, it's all good. After all, it has been your first report. Smiley When reporting, just see how others are doing it, especially @Lafu. Follow the format to some degree and you are good to go!


This keeps going back to my post about not allowing locked threads in altcoin announcements. Would probably save a lot of grief. Although they could moderate it, that would require work.
Yep, that's a good suggestion. Something like that would make  scamming attempts a little bit more time consuming for them, and probably safer for others that are not careful enough.

POSSIBLE SUSPICION

The same ANN is created twice in the last 50 hours.

OP : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=881377

Old ANN - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5251215.0 (Edited to ~~ now)

New ANN - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5251658.0
Hm, what's the basis for your suspicion, beside the fact that new ANN has been made and old one moved to archival? I am asking because those  threads have been made by HHampuz, one of the most reputable managers on the forum, so chances for malware in thread made by him are extremely low.

One suggestion: You don't have to copy the entire ANN when you think that something weird is going on. Just part of the thread with possible malware is enough, and make sure to archive it.



I was just about to share that they finally updated their ANN with malware link, when i saw you updated it as well. That thread is still there, I hope it will be removed soon, before someone downloads it.
6352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: May 28, 2020, 09:13:47 AM
Maybe he is the only one that said it, but in the case that NBA goes for that option that each team plays 70 games in order to fulfill the contract obligations,  many other teams will see those games as basically recreational, and will probably play with bench warmers. After all, similar thing happens at the end of every regular season, when some team looses it's chance for playoff.
I would like to see if Lillard will be so adamant about not playing if they cut his salary proportionally to games missed. Somehow I think that he would change his mind quickly Cheesy All of them are very loud, until you threaten them with salary cut.


NBA and players union are drafting a plan so family members can stay within 'bubble' with players, per report
https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/27/us/nba-bubble-family-spt-trnd/index.html
I say keep it simple and move families away from the camp. Less people involved in all this, less chances that virus will spread, and it will be much easier logistically. It's not like they won't see their families for years. They can survive month or two of separation, especially nowadays with various means of communication.
6353  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [WARNING] TITANT- Deceptive behaviour and suspicious claims on: May 28, 2020, 08:47:00 AM
Since our company is very famous in post-soviet countries, some websites write that they are our partners as authority endorsement for the users, despite not being our partners in reality. Possibly, in this case TITANT mentions us as their partner to add weight to their brand.
That is standard practice of many crypto projects, they fill their website partnership section with known industry names to appear more legit and desirable to potential investors
Usually it is hard to prove whether they are lying or not about alleged partnerships, but in this case TITANT had "bad luck" that you are present on this forum, therefore refuting their partnership claim and busting them right from the start.


Everything TITANT claims they are going to do in their ANN thread is too good to be true, it's not possible to give 50% discounts on every purchase made with TITANT coin, not even on a one time in a year basis like black Friday, but on everyday purchase, that's an obvious LIE.
Yep, they use Apple intentionally, as they know that their products are too expensive for majority of people, so they hope that some will fall for that. When you add on that 300%+ return promise and fake partneships, there is no question what is going on here-  just a lazy cash grab attempt, and nothing else. And we have seen bunch of those in the last few years.

@slackovic
Mislim da si pobrkao rijeci "cijena" i vrijednost". Cijena ETH je trenutno cca 200 USD, ali za onog tko i dalje kupuje ETH on vrijedi vise (kao sto si i sam rekao, undervalued). Kao sto je za nekog ETH "overvalued" i misli da vrijedi puno manje od ovoga (cesto misljenje BTC maximalista.)
Ja recimo vjerujem da BTC vrijedi vise od trenutne cijene od cca 9000 USD, te nisam spreman prodavati po toj cijeni, za mene BTC vrijedi vise. Isto vrijedi za ETH, ne prodajem ga po ovim cijenama.


Ma ja sam samo htio reći da mi takve vijesti s predviđanjem cijene nekog coina stvarno idu na živce. Najbolje mi je kad naleti na članak "Here is why Bitcoin could moon in the next month" i onda za par sati, na istom portalu naiđem na članak "Here is why Bitcoin price could dump in the next few days".
Ovo svakako, i meni idu na zivce takva predvidjanja, i nemaju previse smisla. Ali to je tako, bullish vijesti su popularnije od bearish, svi vole procitati kako ce kripto kojeg oni holdaju moonati uskoro. To ti je ko na onom wall threadu, svi samo bullish spike prodaju, oni koji pokusavaju malo realisticnije pricati su docekani na noz.

6357  Economy / Scam Accusations / [WARNING] TITANT- Deceptive behaviour and suspicious claims on: May 27, 2020, 10:11:03 AM
What happened:  TITANT claims to have partnership with Best Change, while it was refuted by Best Change official account here on this forum

Flag Type 1  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=1922

ANN:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5250824.msg54509925#msg54509925
Archive:  https://archive.fo/FXJaf

Website:  https://titant.io/
Archive:  https://web.archive.org/web/20200527100407/https://titant.io/


This is their claim to have partnership with Best Change, among others, which is a lie.



And response by Best Change account:
To all forum members,

We are in no way shape or form associated with this project, the information about partnership with BestChange on their website is deceptive. We suggest everyone to be alert and vigilant.

Few other suspicious claims from their ANN:
Promise of 300% return. No legit project will promise you something like that.
Having bought the TITANT cryptocurrency at an early stage of its development, namely before it appeared on cryptocurrency exchanges, with a significant discount of about 67% (at $0.020 per unit) from the market value (at $0.060 per unit), people have an excellent opportunity to get a super profit (at least 300% of the return) in a short period of time. After appearing on cryptocurrency exchanges, the price of TITANT will continue to grow and then people can earn even more. The investor decides when it is best to sell their TITANT, immediately after appearing on cryptocurrency exchanges, or wait for its further growth.


Promising big discounts (50%)  when buying products with their tokens and specifically mentioning an expensive brands like Apple.
After the release of TITANT on cryptocurrency exchanges, the online store will periodically hold promotions to sell expensive gadgets, namely Apple products, including the latest versions of the iPhone, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iPad and Applewatches. Only people who have TITANT cryptocurrencies at their disposal will be able to participate in these sales and purchase interested products. For example, if a new iPhone costs $1,000, then a person can pay with the TITANT cryptocurrency and buy it for $500. At the same time, a person pays for the product only the amount of TITANT, which is equivalent to $500 in accordance with the TITANT's market price at the time of purchase. As the project develops, products from other companies, such as Samsung, Huawei, ASUS, and so on, will appear in the online store.

All in all, if they are willing to lie about partnership in order to attract investors, it won't stop them from lying about others claims as well, like 50% discount on luxury merchandise or 300% return for their investors.

They have more suspicious promises,  like being able to get 50% discount when buying a car if you use their tokens. No more has to be said, who can offer such discounts and not go bankrupt?




Standard for many scams in crypto market, they brag with  Certificate of Incorporation, but we all know how little that means




Last but not the least, they just got listed on known scam exchange, Coinsbit. Appropriate exchange I would say, for such a dodgy project.

The lack of information about what is going on is killing me. There must be some sort of ways that Adam Silver works on this constantly, why don't we hear anything about it. At least tell us if they are really working on getting it back or they are considering cancelling it.
There is nothing official, that's true, but league is considering various scenarios. I shared Wojnarovski article yesterday where mentions some of those ideas that league management is tossing around, tou might have missed it.  Here is the link 
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29211219/teams-asking-nba-report-directly-campus-sites

This quote at the end of the text is most interesting, albeit only rumor for now
Quote
he NBA is discussing a step-by-step plan for a resumption of the 2019-2020 season that includes an initial two-week recall of players into team marketplaces for a period of quarantine, one to two weeks of individual workouts at team facilities and a two-to-three week formal training camp, sources told ESPN. Barring an unforeseen turn of events, many NBA owners, executives and NBPA elders believe commissioner Adam Silver will green light the return to play in June -- with games expected to resume sometime before the end of July, sources said.


I do not think cancelling the regular season would be weird, I have said before even some players could be happy because they rather not play and stay home during this pandemic, the ones that are playing are risking themselves but they are doing it to win a ring so it is not really that weird.
I've said it before - if Bundesliga and some other European football leagues are able to continue, then NBA is too, and I think they will. The only  question that remains is in which format will  they continue.
