The type-1 flag tagging looks good approach to mark sold accounts but there must be a universal format for that.
That would just mean forum going against it's own rule of accounts sales being allowed here. |

It is pure logic behind judging this deals, why would a company take losses on products by given 50% discounts ? Do they have profit margins of the discount they are offering when they sell it at original price regularly ? In reality this are just pure marketing strategies build up to show a value of the product to be most discounted, more than it is actually. You could find hell lot of info about how to do this online with your own business too if you want. I have even seen online stores selling some products at less than 1rs ( 0.014$ ), and still earning hell lot of profits and promotion. Just saw this today on Flipkart here.  The best way of dealing with this as a costumer IMO is, comparing the products prices on multiple online stores ( 2 - 3 legitimate websites atleast ). This would give you a good in site of how much money you are saving with your purchases and what a deal has to offer you. That's what I do btw. |

The guy you are giving example (complaining) about is just an shill account of an already proven scam exchange Coinsbit. I think he is just upset about people discussing on shady exchanges, and considering Coinsbit's name to pop up somehow. It has no moto than spamming afterall. I don't think you would commonly find such irrelevant stuff from most of the members here other than newbie shill accounts. The best way to deal with it is, as suggested above by using "report to mod" and they would be nuked soon. But yaa, you cannot stop someone from creating more accounts to shill and post baseless shit, sad to say. |

No fault of Yahoo62278, of course.
Just starch your eyes TP, this is a total opposite statement of the reality. It is of course Yahoo62278's fault here for trusting on an untrusted and baseless rating and removing OP based on it. We cannot imagine how many other accounts would have been kicked previously based on such baseless ratings with no solid proves. I have to agree, Timelord came as a pretty hard dick to the OP, but his findings could be right most of the times, not this one of course. |

I would be more than happy to support and be active in the celebration here.
I am even willing to add 0.001 BTC in the faith of generating some interest in the board through this activity.
Go ahead, nice to see atleast some faces pop up here with interest. Kudos.

As per I can see this is decent open source project, and it is not new for sure as its domain was registered around 3 years ago. This is there original thread which has more than 200 pages of replies, which was later shifted to the new one mentioned in the OP. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1967207.0They even have a Whitescroll with some info about the project. And yes, anonymous team is not a problem in many crypto projects around. |

...and yet he never saw Blazr scamming coming - did he? Ouch that gun-shot to the foot must have hurt...  I don't think you are reviewing this matter seriously, it looks like passing comments which are like fantasy. But your true heart would knew, QS hopefully has better strategies to hide his accounts, it not an connecting address game anymore. Blazr didn't posted from June 14, 2016, he was last active before more than 180 days, the scammer whoever it is the original owner or impersonator didn't tried to scam publicly but via PM. It was surely pretty unpredictable even to the most active users here. Even none of the details of the profile are changed after they woke up like email or password. This just incline me to think the account is most probably still in control of the real owner, I mean he as already did this before by taking a gap from 2015 to 2016, so he can take interest here again. I don't think this gunshots would hurt someone who has generated thick skin here from years. |

Has anyone else noticed that whenever Quickseller seems to speak as though he is familiar with the person at the centre of an accusation all he really does if fill three or four paragraphs with non-sence? Have you noticed he is here from much long time and could have generated a good sort of judgement skills in identifying users here or faces behind a familiar accusation. Afterall, he is one of the most prominent and active "protesters" here. I don't think he fills the spaces with non-sense and he doesn't even control the Blazr's account, as QS would not have that stupid strategies of scamming BTC from an casino, he could have used the account in more harmful ways for sure. |

Cøbra is just upset by the political games running on the forum, some of his precious comments here clearly states that. It is one of the main reason he is not that active here I guess. A lot of prominent members in the Bitcoin community started out on bitcointalk.org, then migrated to Reddit, and subsequently migrated from Reddit to Twitter. Many of these became "thought leaders" on Twitter, and no longer are active on Reddit or bitcointalk.org. I don't think it's because of the format or feel of the forum, I think it's more of an ego thing.
I somewhat agree with him on it as many prominent members of Bitcointalk have already left because of the same reason. BTW, Cøbra is not a co-owner but the real owner of the forums domain and even the bitcoin.org official website domain. |

@Anonym1337x, What your offering is totally shit.. Your offer feels like you have found a flaw or a bug in the PayPal's chargeback system overall. I would suggest you reporting this to PayPal itself, I am sure you would earn a good sum of money as a bug reward if your are right and you would even get a big thankx from PayPal for the help. Anyways, this method even if it works, would most probably be used to scam users through chargebacks, and yaa just remember there are 99% chances only of success so you could slip through the 1%.  |

Paying spammers to spam there is a complete nonsense. e established members to post there?
Are they paying anyone? Have they proved they even have the coin to pay? Yes, they are surely paying users 0.00001 btc per post which is sent directly to the Yobit account of the participants. Max is 30 posts per day ! Even though they are spending funds, but its basically not the right way and not helping them in anyway to increase quality content on the forum. They have the coins to pay, but I don't think this would go forever. |

No offense taken, you're allowed to have an opinion. Thanks to Bitcointalk forums free of speech rules.. Or else I just can't stop laughing by reading the rules on Cryptotalk. It is forbidden to offend other members of the forum.
WTF !   |

By looking at some of the comments there and users observations, I can say there is a slit slip through for Russian spam posters there as they too are producing a hell lot of spam on this said to be HIGH PAYING FORUM and still getting off it. I even don't support promoting it here as it is surely harming bitcointalk forum's health in one way or the other. ( no offence to the manager its just want I think ) about two years ago there was someone who started a forum where members were paid to post, and it not only turned out to be a complete scam after it got started, but it basically skimmed the worst of the worst members from bitcointalk off the bottom of the crap-barrel and had only them for members. Needless to say, there wasn't much discussion going on there except about getting paid.
If I get you correctly, it was ICOforums.net and they had a bounty campaign here which was surely a pain in ass due to its generated spam. Still even after spending large amount of ETH for the promotion they were just buried and ended up with no real and valuable discussion on the forum. I could see the same story here too. |

Not earning merits doesn't logically mean the user is spamming on the forum or doesn't add value to the forum and his rank should be demoted for it. It sounds more stupid to give this power to just specific peoples ( Mods here ), which would generate obvious drama.
This is irrelevant to my thread, and I assume you're trying to address it to my idea as you say it's stupid to give delete/demerit power to mods. But nothing in my post implied that not earning merits makes you a spammer. I assume that you were trying to address this to the person who suggested merit decay and tried to tie it into the OP to keep it on-topic and messed up. I don't know how talking about demerits being useless in a thread related to demeriting is irrelevant. Also provide people with a better metric to measure spam than simply "deleted posts" (as posts can be deleted without necessarily breaking forum rules).
You implied getting DeMerit's as a metric to measure spam. I was addressing this directly to the OP and didn't messed it up FYI. |

It sounds more stupid to give this power to just specific peoples ( Mods here ), which would generate obvious drama. I don't think something like Dmerits is necessary anyways, as not earning much merit's automatically pauses the growth of the account in the current system, which give the same effect needed. Proposed solution:
Partially remove the rank grandfather --
If an account was a Full Member immediately prior to the implementation of the merit system, they will need to receive 1/10 of the merit necessary to achieve each rank, up to Full Member, and after they are a full member, they need the full amount of the merit.
Your solution could help in stopping the less active account from shilling but still not all users are prone to post here for merit's and earn them often, so good users could also get buried under this rule and loose their years old status. |

@Veleor you caught me without any solid proof.
Nicknames and avatars in these profiles are showing that they were used by real Impaler It is sure that the account has changed hands around 2015 as you can see a huge posting gap here. There is a huge difference in the post quality of the previous owner of the account, which can be seen easily seen by comparing the post lengths at least. I don't think the current operator of the account can confirm any of this what you are asking. |

Hmmm. I have some brainstorming about this issue. They are copying some content in the whitepaper of others but only some part that seems a general knowledge to crypto.
There are hardly 5 pages with some content in there whitepaper, from which 2+ pages content is copied without mentioning the source. I don't think they have any "general knowledge" about crypto or else they would have written this in there own words or at least listed the source to the info. What I'm thinking is it really true that the first whitepaper that you compare is the source of the original content? There are small odds that the second project copy that content in that particular whitepaper, What I'm thinking is they get the content somewhere on the internet. Some kind of blog of crypto.
What I mentioned is not any project, but an article about inflation, and the thing to be noted is, it was posted on July 24 2017. And on the other hand this project's website was created 67 days before only. 67 days old

Good find, buddy. In fact, it has become a common practice among deflationary/inflationary/whateverationary tokens projects to copy documents and ideas from really working primary sources. In my experience, all such projects had very poorly written and obscure white papers, you would not find anything new in them for the cryptocurrency industry, just phrases copied from the network. This project is the same. The goal is not to invent something new and really interesting, but to make gullible people buy it and naturally lose the money invested. Avoid at all costs.
Yes, you are right, this project is also one of the old types with no efforts by scammers to scam. It's a shame to the scam artists of this projects. I reported it as someone who stumbles upon this project could get the info about the risk involved by Googling it at least. |
