Added new campaign called ARCS, it seem to be good project and currently traded on Kucoin exchange. Regardung budget its not that high but the marketcap is medium and chance to increase. If your a trader you can understand this. Its important on altcoin projects to be listed on major exchange and not those faking volume. So here it is enjoy this new campaign.

As always kindly refer to first page of the OP.

POLL:
I want to ask if this move Im thinking is okay to do? " will create another thread same as this and locked this one. I wanted to make it a self moderated rated so those who are spamming will just be deleted and imposed a local rule where discussion will be strictly focus on the listed campaigns here"

And taking BTC down one way or another will not stop this activity.

Agree with me or not, I'll always defend privacy and BTC! I'm now apparently officially obsessed with it
Of course cannot, even with this activities continously happening, btc still have a lot of users who are really value its worth for the better of course. well we dont really need to mind those criminals and just focus on what we have to do nothing will change eventually

I think I will agree with defending btc as its caught my interest but word obsession is too much for me. Anyway, I observed that your very in love with BTC just continue your relationship dude.  Grin

You are really something mate. Your skills are very impressive and this is not an easy task anybody. I myself having hard time to draw. Anyway I like your services, like as discussed in pm, will share you soon a photo for this new service of you.

Also, it would be nice if you could merge the announcement of this thread to this: [SERVICE]Charcoal and Graphite Portrait Drawings! | BTC Accepted

But that's only a suggestion mate, I feel like merging it would fit and also it can save your time to handle too much thread for inquiries.

Illegal trading, goods, and services, account for several of the largest markets in the world. The illegal drug trade is the second largest market in the world,
That's suprising. It seems the world cant escape the fact that illegal acivity is the most source of markets in the real world.

The question is "Does bitcoin encourage illegal activities?". I suspect you are going to struggle to find examples of drug dealers or criminals who would immediately stop their life of crime and become honest citizens if they could no longer user bitcoin and had to use cash instead.
That's next to impossible indeed. So I guess this statement is true " Money is the root of all evil" hell they would stop their wrong doings. Im not pessimistic guy but if bitcoin were gonna be used for this scheme even we promote the advantages of decentralization the fact that there are activities like these would always drag down the image of its usage

So any solution for this? I guess none right. We just need to accept the fact that there are always a reason to pull down the decentralized space of BTC

I add local rules from my thread, and most of the user never reply on my thread ~LOL. Just next time went you creating another thread don't forget to enable thats.
Actually I already think of it but since Ive posted already the thread nothing I can do. Yeah youre definitely right about making topics self moderated is a huge help for our moderators so we can fan out some post that are not necessary. Anyway I keep that in mind, thanks.

I would like to add ezystayz bounty here. Please share your opinion.
Hello thanks for the suggestion, will look into it. But I appreciate the feedback and do share your opinion as well to the bounty campaign you are suggesting so we can check whether that project deserved to be in the list.

Might wanna remove the third suggestion on trading CFD. Even for me, this is too much. It is leverage trading, and you might wanna spend more than you can earn here. Not so optimistic about this, though there are perks of using this method. However, the risk is even greater to bear.


Leverage gives you exposure to the markets by depositing just a percentage of the full value of the trade you wish to place. This means that while you could make a potential profit if the market moves in your favour, you could just as easily make significant losses if the trade moves against you and you don’t have adequate risk management in place.

​For instance, if you place a CFD trade worth £1,000 and the margin rate for the applicable tier is 5%, you only need to fund 5% of the total value of the position, known as position margin. In this case, you only need to allocate £50 to open the trade. If, however, the price of the product moves against you by 10%, you lose £100 – double your initial stake in the CFD trade. This is because your exposure to the market (or your risk) is the same as if you had purchased £1,000 worth of physical shares. This means that any move in the market will have a greater effect on your capital than if you had purchased the same value of shares. However, retail client accounts have negative balance protection, so your losses will be limited to the value of the funds in your account


This type of trading method has to be educated and knows its potential risk on your funds. This is another method that newbies will not easily adopt.

5. Cryptocurrencies can be used everywhere - Nowadays cryptocurrencies have been adopted by many stores and businesses and are accepted in major places. Some businesses have strictly made their fund transactions via cryptocurrencies to ensure security and complete outcome.
I observed since then the adoption of BTC and even cryptocurrencies to various industry and I can say that this is a major leap in terms of development and innovation. However, cryptocurrencies have also side a negative downside. As you mentioned it can be use everywhere, this include illegal activity and money laundering. Yes the accesibility and no hassle service of cryptocurrency is good, but this is also why its so vulnerable and easily can be used to such mentioned wrong doings.

Check this how crypto been used to such crime.

[2]https://cointelegraph.com/news/dutch-authorities-arrest-two-men-for-alleged-crypto-money-laundering

So even cryptocurrency have downside, thats why authority are so strict about this speculative commodities.

Like it's been written on a number of other topics... Every user who thinks that his post deserves a Merit but didn't get one
I dont think OP is trying to farm merits here. He just wanted to emphasis among other users about quality posting. Its not about merit at all, but the contributions made and how those post of them are being liked or helped others.

Maybe thats a mistake for a lot of who wanted to earn merits, they doing the posting to earn merits, and higher rank even merit sources will surely noticed if you are posting to help or trying to farm.

well its kinda both i think lets keep it real, you join to learn about crypto currency, and also to earn merit
Yes but some uses their time to earn only which is why they are having a hard time to earn merits. They are prioritizing the perks but not the actual objective to be here.

Hello can you share the main app of this? Or any reference link for the image? Based on the prizes its not that big, and some have considerable value of btc too maybe sign up or survey could be hard or requires valuable information. If thats the case, then you should be careful to fill up any data these could be somehow a malware or phishing site.

Ive seen such offers like this before but never tried so Im not really sure if those are legit or just using a fake app or imitation one to use for scamming.

Use the power of "self-moderation" just deleted his post ur problem is done if you feel he did not understand the disclaimer at the bottom of the thread.
Hello is it possible to enable the self moderation even though I already posted it. As far as I know it should be done before final posting and beginning of the OP. Ive been meaning to do that but since the thread is here, I just neglect it and just report those spammer in this thread.

Or what do you think? Should I transfer this to a new self moderated thread and locked this one? looking for a good option here. Some people are helping me update on the current list but others are just obviously spamming, others are just spatting nonsense like the one at the top. - Furyball-

I would say the members with high level of report to mod accuracy don't often make a thread about it because it's something like a good habit.
Why would they(high amount of accuracy in reporting) create a thread for those reported topic? It doesnt add up value while you can always do simple reporting. I think moderators doesnt really favor any member in terms of dealing with reported post. As long as a user reported it hence or whoever posted it will be taken care of.

But these threads can always be overlooked. But for how long?
About duration, Im thinking moderators do it regularly to attend every reported post. Of course this a huge forum and sometime they overlooked it of course they also have real life thing to do as well. Like @suchmoon says, dont overthink of it and just do whatever you need to do.
6537  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Buying btc from a forum member on: April 25, 2020, 04:00:23 AM
If going for huge transaction, escrow is the best solution. Dont hesitate to use this to be sure when it comes to dealing big money. It's a precaution actually and we must always do background check. There are some users that even becomes rouge about paying up for a deal even though they are trusted member here.

Head to Lending and Services youll be able to find there trusted and reputable members that use escrow.

This is a link of the escrows thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0

In addition to this, OP you can I also recommend this one and still active Escrow Service of Bl4nkcode [Active]

You are right mate. Ive been a bountt hunter for over a long period of time and future listing especially announced IEO is not fully a basis of potential bounty.

What I do know is this:  Based on my long experience

Good hint of a project that is worth participating but not fullt guaranteed.
  • Have a product, its working and its useful and not just some nonsense idea that is irrelevant on blockchain. (eg, Dogdata)
  • Choose open source project and transparent, by means of this is have github where progress is visible and can be watch and observed.
  • IEO listed, -major platform only such as Binance, Kucoin, Gate, Huobi)
  • Team of developer, must be experienced and not just skilled on profile, there are lots of this on this crypto business.

Ive listed some on my thread but for the sake of criticism Im not saying its a 100% sure campaigns.

6539  Other / Meta / Re: My 9 months & 850 merit on: April 24, 2020, 08:21:47 AM
If someone thinks that getting merit is easy, he is mistaken. In the Russian board it is difficult to get merit.

I write about ETH, DeFi, Russian finance and taxes and try to share useful information.
No it isnt easy as they say. But of course merits can easilt achieved once you are a good poster and this only shows why youve got so many merits.

I like the topic you are focusing and technically one of the hot topic today, "defi" with regards to taxation, I am not really familiar with it, but its good that you are aware of the Russian taxes and finances related this surely helps your local buddies.

You gained merits majority from your local and thats fine your like a fast merit earner like other users here @Ratimov and @nullius. Continue dude, you have a bright future ahead. Comgratulations.

Im sorry if you were bit dissapointed, may have a favor too? Dont ever comment here since your tired okay?
Go on, find your own bounty. Stop spamming here and saying youre not interested cause I dont care if you dont. Cause as far as I know many appreciate this thread than dont.
