theymos could take it further if he wanted too, unless he's given permission prior to the site going up. If the operator of a mirror hasn’t got permission they are breaching copyright laws. Although, I see mirrors as being a good thing, when this forum goes down either for maintenance or of an attack. The mirror could resort back to another backup whilst work is being done on this forum. Therefore, people can still read information whilst the main forum is down.

Considering we are basically pattern recognising machines it's fairly easy to spot alternate accounts. Although, a normal user may not have the proof which you ask for I'm almost certain Badbear would, however that doesn't mean he can give that information away either to an individual or publicly. Anyway, why would Badbear lie about having information? It wouldn't benefit him in anyway, it could only damage is reputation if found out.

To be fair if  they are all using Windows then it doesn't really help the case, or even ubuntu. If they are using another operating system then it could be more obvious. Same goes as the browser. Most users probably vary with both operating system and browser, I know I've logged in on about 5 different operating systems and browsers because some browsers aren't easy to setup in some distributions. But, you are right if they all match then it does raise suspicious that much more.

Flash is insecure and that's the reason why it's not used on the current forum software. Embedding SWF would be annoying also. I don't see the hardship of linking a video.

It's likely that other members also reported the thread(s). Not just dogie, they would of been in their right as confirmed by multiple staff members. If this is going to turn into a personal argument between you and dogie maybe you should take it elsewhere. The thread was deleted because it was spam, normally the procedure of dealing with spam is deleting it, not moving it. There's no hard ship in making the thread again, especially since most of the text will be stored in drafts. Of course you lost the votes from before, but you can ask politely if they would vote again. My perception is that theymos was kind for providing you with a alternative.

I see that it's now off site.

Yes you do.

I wouldn't mind a red label, but not a flashing red label as that would become annoying quickly. Maybe add a warning to the footer of the message for every newbie message. I still don't think it's necessary.  

People should be able to use their brain, I Know it doesn't go on a lot these days but, we can't spoon feed everyone. This restriction would just lead to unwanted messages which the mods would have to deal with.

Login to your blockchain.info account with your identifier/alias & password which you said you have access too. Then you can export your private key.

If anything this is making you look unprofessional. You've got a great thing going and shouldn't let something like this ruin that.

 Why should they? It's spam. Spam gets deleted.

 It wasn't aggressive. They are doing their job, you've had your explanation even though they didn't need to give you one.

Don't turn this into a conspiracy. Why would he be covering? The threads got deleted because posting all those topics when they could be included in one thread is ridiculous.

I should imagine a lot of people reported those threads.

Why does it matter who deleted them? They got deleted. It shouldn't matter who deleted them. There's a reason why the modlog doesn't show who deleted them.


The issue has been dealt with, theymos gave you a way which he would allow. It's been done and should be forgotten about instead of looking to attack members.

If you really believe bitmain & dogie are spamming, then you would report it.

Most of those valuation sites, are not accurate. At the end of the deal if you needed a loan that desperately, you would just sell that domain instead. Of course it's not worth that, it's worth as much as people want to pay for it. I for one wouldn't pay more than it's original registration price.

Provide some better collateral.

For it to be visible you need to enable it in your account settings, it's under "Forum Profile Information". Check the box that says: "Show patrol link". The hyperlink is left top of the page, under "Show new replies to your posts" and above "Watchlist". Here's the link to patrol: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;patrol

I think your intentions have been made clear, but I will ask before jumping the gun and giving you negative feedback; Do you have anything you can provide as collateral?

Well, yeah that is true. But, that gives me the idea the user hasn't read the thread and doesn't have much interest in it anyway. Normally if someone has any interest in the thread they will read most of the replies. I know a lot of people don't do it and I would be guilty of that on multiple instances. But, yeah that is a problem in the larger threads and I don't have any answers for that one.

If it's bringing up a valid point which your not repeating I don't see a problem. If you are bringing up something which has already been discussed in that thread, then no it should be reported in my opinion. It's hard to judge in some cases there's no solid rule and that's why it's up to the moderators on a individual basis. I don't think we should make the rule that if x number of days have gone you can't post regardless what you are posting.

If it's a discussion which is related to the topic, then I don't see why this is a problem. Unless, you see people posting to pad their post count, but then they are breaking a rule anyway and will be reported. There's genuine reasons to necro a thread and it doesn't matter if others contribute to it without realising the date as long as it's contributing to the thread and isn't breaching any other rules.

You can do that by using the "Report to moderator" button. If you only want to get rid of bots, they are normally only newbies so go over to the patrol page and report them whenever you see them. I'm sure the mods will appreciate it.

Remove the ";wap2" from the end of the URL, it will show the page normally then. So here's the link for that thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.0

If you've messaged me, you might want to try again. I've had a lot of personal messages and they can get lost and accidentally deleted now and again.

I don't charge, tips are appreciated but, not required. With Multibit there's a different way of extracting what I need and normally requires you to use a third party tool like pywallet for example. Just shoot me a personal message and we go into more detail and see what can be done. Although, I'm not actively running this service any more, if you know a lot of your password then I will take it into consideration.

You only need to post once in each 2 week interval.

No, activity will not go down if you don't make any new posts. It will remain the same.

It's been disabled for now, because of the recent forum downtime. Basically theymos needs to regenerate the index. It's only temporary. He hasn't given a date to expect it to be functioning again.

They can defend themselves by opening another thread, if anything if someone makes a claim that you scammed and then they lock the thread it just looks like they are craving attention.
