I am not sure if it's a good idea or a step forward toward betterment.

There is no betterment for Ratimov. Everything he does is only to fool people somehow (managing to fool even mods!!!), to trick them or to act in frenzy until all eyes are on him then he start to covers his misery. At this point he does not even care about that anymore, so he shows everyday that he does not care about anything, about any forum rule, about any common sense, about any guideline for using his (ex-) DT powers and so on.

You saw what he did inside AOBT thread, right?
You saw also what he did in the past, right?
You saw how he never answered your question, right?
You saw how he never answere my questions, right?
You saw how he stopped using that introduction after he was exposed for plagiarism, right?
You saw how he deleted all those topics and posts which possibly contained evidence for plagiarism, right? -- Including the post where he self admitted that only 10% of his content is original, LOL!
You saw how he distrusted all those users, in revenge, right?
You saw how he hid all this time, just like TimeLord did in similar situation, right?
You saw that he deleted all his feedbacks precisely after he was excluded fr4om DT1, right?

And you still think about the possibility of... betterment? Really? With all due respect holydarkness, that's naivete!

It seems... excessive.

Everything this individual did was excessive. Since he joined this forum. He only acted in a manner to show everybody what a best-at-everything he is. Now he showed them all. Now everybody can see Ratimov's finest.

Hey Hatchy! Chilwell did not say that he is not doing the translation anymore. I believe it's best if you discuss with him about it.

However, the question remains, even if he steps down and you come up: do you think that you isolated some serious issues in your local board, which can be improved by translating this thread? If you isolated problems in your local board, then did you also find resources in your languages which address those problems? If there are no such resources already written, did you think about writing a topic addressing the existent issues from your local board?



@1miau: I'd suggest to update the application code sequence, thus it will be even more clear for applicants that this translation is not a regular one. At th moment, the application looks like this:

Code:
I would like to reserve my local language and post a translation in my local board
#Proof of JOIN
Language:
Bitcointalk Account:

Perhaps we could add something like this:

Code:
I would like to reserve my local language and post a translation in my [name local board here].
I noticed the following issues inside this local board, which can be improved by translating this topic: issue 1, issue 2, issue 3 etc.
I have the following resources which I'll include in the translation and which address the problems from my local board: resource 1, resource 2, resource 3 etc.
(N.b. -- last sentence can look also like this: I did not find any existent topics which address the issues from my local board, but I will write a topic addressing these problems -- in this case the new topic should be ready before the translation is done.)

This is getting more and more ridiculous.

First of all, you are very wrong about me, chill.

I am wrong? With what?

I am not his minion and and his support has nothing to do with helping me to rank up

Lol, no? I thought this is precisely what you wrote above:

I added him into my trust list because he helped me two or three times to rank up

Now it's not that anymore?

Then I see that this user also creates some good topics, like the ones I included above and his merits probably prove that he is not a low quality poster.

Lol! Have you ever read OP? Have you seen that this individual earned a few thousands of merits by plagiarizing the work of other authors?

Also, there are the following guys in my trust list: davef, oeleo, notatether. Did they buy me? C'mon. I like them, like what they do, appreciate them and that's why I added them.

You like them? LMAO! You added them because you like them? Where do you think you are? In high school? Trying to get around you cool boys and girls?

That sounds a lot like buying your vote.
C'mon, read my response above this quote. I just thought he was a good guy like DaveF and others

You added someone to your Trust list because he is a good guy??



Stop inviting me to this topic! It is impolite.

Who invited you? Oo

I've just excluded Ratimov from my trust list, but not basing on your words or the words of BitcoinGirl.Club [...], but basing on what Ratimov does himself. Deleting all feedback leaves no sense in it.

Now I'm confused... A few days ago Ratimov was a god among men... at least, in your view. How could this happen? The god fell from the sky?
685  Economy / Reputation / Re: Should Ratimov be in DT1? on: November 07, 2023, 11:19:29 AM
jokers10 did not find anything wrong with Ratimov, he is convinced that everything is good with him.
jokers10 will not find anything wrong with Ratimov even if he would be banned. Even in such case, for jokers10 Ratimov would be just a victim of the system.

Oh, wait! What is this? Sacré bleu! Could it be?



By what miracle? But how? I am shocked!

BitcoinGirl.Club, aren't you shocked too? jokers10 just stopped trusting Ratimov! Of course,he did not distrust him, as his spirit of defending his master is still alive inside him but still, he stopped trusting him! At least for the appearance in front of others, of course.



In this case, I still hope both of you will see you're doing it wrong. That includes your latest negative feedback: I think that one should also be neutral.
Due to my high respect to you, I will think about that.

Done.

I added him into my trust list because he helped me two or three times to rank up and not only me, he helped other users too without asking. Then, I noticed that he is trusted by many and he also has some good threads, like this1 and also this2.

If this is how people use Trust system, this is bad. Very bad. And it only proves my statement from OP:

Together with plagiarism / copy-paste / bragging himself, Ratimov also became a merit source. As a merit source he managed to organize an army of minions supporting him in many ways, because he was meriting them.

If there was any doubt about that now here's proof in plain sight: a Hero user (Hero!!!), having no idea how Trust should be used, although he is on the forum for more than 2 years already, which admits that he added Ratimov on his Trust list because of merit showers and for reading 2 topics.

Makes sense, right?

I hope that, at least, DT users don't add people on their Trust lists because they helpd them to rank up or for reading 1-2 topics.

By the way, I will be glad if someone enlightens me about the importance of trust system on this forum.

You can find here LoyceV's Beginners guide to correct use of the Trust system.

I don't understand how can someone abuse it and play with it like it's a real power.

Then read OP thoroughly. You'll understand.



jokers10 did not find anything wrong with Ratimov, he is convinced that everything is good with him.

jokers10 will not find anything wrong with Ratimov even if he would be banned. Even in such case, for jokers10 Ratimov would be just a victim of the system.

zasad@ seems cool too.

Of course zasad@ is cool, after he received 964 merits from Ratimov. How could not be cool after 964 merits? /s


Please be aware that JG just stopped trusting Ratimov.

in the next shuffle there is a good chance for him to comeback unless some of the key members who have good DT strength will not exclude him or distrust him. Such members are: wwzsocki, Gianluca95, thandie, tmfp, klarki, nimogsm, my luck, Wapfika, FutureBitcoin, dimonstration, giammangiato, imhoneer, KTChampions, Smartprofit, Coin-1, Julien_Olynpic, Bitcoin_Arena, tvplus006 , witcher_sense, sky999, bubbalex, taikuri13, madnessteat, FontSeli, YOSHIE, Stalker22, ajanwalker, Charles-Tim, execijutiere, _BlackStar, Shamm, KingsDen, Synchronice, SatoPrincess, Silence Scream, Jossque.

Stalker22 also stopped trusting Ratimov. He did not distrust him, similar to almost all other users which trusted him then deleted him from their Trust lists but, at least, he stopped trusting him. 1miau is the only one which trusted Ratimov then distrusted him.

I finally added ~Ratimov to my list and It seems that he is no longer DT1.

Thank you for involving as well, examplens!
I also take this opportunity to thank to fillippone as well, since he also involved in all this.



I think he "played his card wrong", majority of the DTs were ready to refrain from taking action, understand [probably hoping] that he'll learn from his past mistakes. His recent retaliatory backfired.

I believe that majority of DT users were intimidated by the possibility they'll be excluded by him as well, in revenge; or, even worst -- that they'll receive another monster negative feedback from him, full (as usual) of baseless accusation and insults. After so many years, many (if not all) DT users know what Ratimov does when anyone dares to confront him: abusive Trust exclusion + fake negative feedback (all these combined also with the possibility of receiving also some spoiling from Ratimov). His thug-like approach determined many to not intervene, yet some did it (and were excluded by him, accordingly) and I congratulate them. And those which intervened helped others find their courage / motivation to intervene as well and do something to correct this shocking situation where one individual scares so many others by abusing his DT powers the way he pleases.

He was probably certain that he scared enough people for not having to worry that so many will come to distrust him.



Do you eliminate the possibility that the majority of them do not use any kind of Notification bots and ignore the reputation board?

I believe that this possibility is very unlikely. This topics gathered already 3222 views and it had almost 200 before having any post. LV's thread exposing Ratimov's pathetic attempts to colver his plagiarism by deleting his old threads has 1200+ views. Most likely, a big part of DT users noticed these threads but are still intimidated by this individual.

In addition, I've updated my code in the OP as what's been still there until now was still for the old version. It's updated now.  Smiley

Can you pinpoint the changes, please? Thus I make sure I also add them to the Romanian translation.



Should Arkham Intelligence explorer also be considered a Bitcoin block explorer?
The service is controversial and not popular among some individuals who value privacy so much because they feel it promotes doxxing.

How does it promote doxxing? Oo This is first time I hear something like this from a block explorer.



If it's not very beneficially for our Bitcointalk community in general, we are better to keep it off of our list? [...]

But of course, if someone wants to list it and provides a good argument, we can consider to list it.  Smiley

I highly doubt that anyone would suggest to list a website which promotes doxxing Oo

I was browsing and trying to check and see if there are still some copycats of [banned mixer] and at first, I thought that there's no more to be found but this is just also on the first page of Google and just a few scrolls down when I've searched it through there.

What baffles me is the number of imposters trying to take UniJoin's identity. There are also some other mixers on the forum, but I never seen any similar issues in their case, and I am following their threads close. At least some of those threads.



Are there any news about that Telegram imposter UniJoin_A? Were they banned by Telegram?

It's so incredible that people don't like this guy's bird videos! It's stunning!

If you don't like these,
TELL ME what kind of videos you want me to make.

Would someone tell him what's not to like at his bird videos? I think he really wants to know that, since he used capital letters for "TELL ME" =)))



I have hard times trying to understand if you are trolling or simply trying to fill your campaign quota.
Hard times will pass, sorry to keep you in hard time for so long

LMAO, I was sarcastic! I said I had hard times trying to understand you, not that I was having hard times in my life.

English is my second language but I have been reading and writing it for almost 13+ years so It must not be a language barrier, at least that's what I am confident of myself.

Seeing what you wrote above makes me doubt that you understand English well.

Well, I was not really bashing, or trying to fill my campaign quota

The main problem is that the developer seems to be completely inactive. I still did not receive any reply to my emails. He is also not active on the forum anymore. And on GitHub I see some features / issues planned for years to be implemented but which are still not implemented.

Yet the wallet is still functional, it is still used and it is still recommended on bitcoin.org. All these are very weird...
693  Local / Discutii Servicii / Re: eXch – schimbă instantaneu BTC / LN / XMR / LTC / ETH / ERC20 on: November 07, 2023, 07:57:30 AM
Cu placere Smiley Da, este interesant de citit si de observat pozitia celor de la eXch fata de aceste amenintari ale legii. Cumva, situatia ma duce cu gandul la perioada in care autoritatile (americane) au somat Google si Twitter sa predea toate datele pe care le aveau despre conturile lui Julian Assange. Google s-a conformat in secunda 2 si a predat imediat tot ce detinea despre Julian. Twitter a atacat somatia in instanta; a pierdut; si abia apoi a predat respectivele date. Au incercat (macar de ochii lumii) sa protejeze datele utilizatorilor, insa in fata unei decizii judecatoresti s-a conformat.

eXch, pe de alta parte, pare sa sfideze orice forma a autoritatii, ceea ce mi se pare extraordinar!

Answering all your questions would reveal some business details containing information that should remain off-the-record at least till the current subpoena is cleared.

Oh -- I understand. Perhaps after November 16th you can share some more details about how things took course at the Court? (Obviously, only if the situation will allow you to do it).
695  Economy / Reputation / Re: Should Ratimov be in DT1? on: November 06, 2023, 07:51:27 PM
The way I understood that (now deleted) post is that he claims that only 10% of the overall bitcointalk content is original and rest is copy/paste of someone else's material and not him admitting that only 10% of his posts are original, in a way to justify his extensive copypasting as according to him, everyone is doing it.

This is subjective way of looking at the post. However, either way of understanding it still incriminates Ratimov of plagiarism:

1. He self admits directly that he copy-pastes / plagiarizes in 90% of his content => self admitted plagiarism.

2. "He claims that only 10% of the overall bitcointalk content is original and rest is copy/paste of someone else's material and not him admitting that only 10% of his posts are original, in a way to justify his extensive copypasting as according to him, everyone is doing it." -- since everyone is doing it, then he does it too, since "everyone" includes him as well => self admitted plagiarism.
696  Economy / Reputation / Re: Should Ratimov be in DT1? on: November 06, 2023, 05:58:26 PM
I salute the decision of LV and lovesmayfamilies to ~ Ratimov. Once again, Ratimov is proving that he weaponized Trust system and uses it only as he pleases, for years in a row, without remorse. This is happening since he got into DT1, but he managed to get there by using his skills to hide his plagiarism.

Speaking of which, it seems that he did not delete only the 78 topics found by LV, but many other posts, in his futile attempt to hide his plagiarism.

For instance, this post:

Quoting for historical reference and take a look at messages at numbers 33, 101, 108, 115.
Here, really original content, maybe 10%, the rest is all a copy-paste of finished materials or partial use of someone else's material.

quoted by me in OP and quoted also years ago by airfinex in the topic where he exposed Ratimov's plagiarism -- is now gone.

The post was there before but he deleted it too, thus those not knowing about ninjastic.space will never see this statement where he admitted clearly that he plagiarizes 90% of what he wrote. Most likely, he deleted other incriminatory posts as well.

In fact, he deleted all his posts from the topic started by airfinex.

For those not aware, the topic is full of examples of plagiarism made by Ratimov and also of examples given by wooI_Ioow, exposing how Ratimov was breaking rule 27 (Using automated translation tools to post translated content in Local boards is not allowed) by copy-pasting articles and translating them with Google Translate in Russian board ([1], [2], [3], [4]).

I am almost sure he deleted all his posts starting with "In this article I would like to touch upon such a theme [...]".

With your permission I will like to translate this topic to my local board naija "pidgin language". Thank you.

Chilwell, before starting this translation, have you read what it implies? Have you read previous posts and OP? I mean parts like this:

Therefore, in order to have a proper translation -- meaning a proper content inside your translation, you should also add some topics / posts written in your language (either by you or by another Bengali user), thus the translation will not contain only resources in English or another language. You must add also resources written in Bengali. Obviously, these resources in Bengali should address issues present in Bengali board. We talked about the mix of Romanian with English, respectively about the mix of German with English. But only you should know the issues present in the Bengali board. (Obviously, you can consult about this with other Bengali users -- I would recommend to talk to Learn Bitcoin about this subject.)

I just want to make sure that you understand that this translation is not a "normal" one, but an adaptation to your local board needs / issues.

You are insulting.

Seeing that not just one person thinks the same, I'll take count about that and I'll try to refrain myself even more. Thank you for opening my eyes!



Well, he doesn't play cards well. He may not be active in this discussion, but he again resorted to revenge moves and everyone who excluded or distrusted him on the trust list, retaliated in kind.

This is exactly Ratimov at his best. For those which did not pay attention this is exactly what he did for all the years since he got his position of power. Perhaps more DT users will see this and will take action about these constant abuses.

So, for example, he moved The Sceptical Chymist directly from trust to distrust on his list.

Furthermore, he acted precisely the same way the other DT users acted. For example, bullrun2020bro and CryptopreneurBrainboss only stopped trusting him and he did the same -- he deleted them from his Trust list. The other ones added him to their distrust list and he proceeded the same with The Pharmacist, 1miau, iwantmyhomepaidwithbtc2, suchmoon, Learn Bitcoin and holydarkness.

There are 2 inconsistencies though: he added light_warrior to his distrust list, although this user did not distrust him, only stopped trusting him. And he did not distrust Foxpup too. Perhaps he was in frenzy and could not act very thoroughly. /s



It's like don't dare to talk against me, else you will be fucked by me.

Yes, this is Ratimov's style. I tried to explain this in OP with various words:

The problem is the abuse of Trust system made by Ratimov, for years. For years in a row he leaves incorrect feedbacks -- negative ones consisting only in insults and in many cases with no reference link. He uses Trust system as a weapon against anyone which would ever dare to say something about him.



At same time, for those which missed this, be aware that, among the dozens of topics he deleted he included also his Merit Source application.


This is how much this user appreciates the topic which helped him, in part, to obtain all the power he managed to achieve.

While it's not forbidden to delete a topic containing a Merit Source application, I consider it a sign of disrespect for the forum and for the user himself. Based on that topic Ratimov earned a ton of sMerit, which he used to feed his army of minions. Then he deletes his application, making a mockery from his Merit Source statute. There is no other Merit Source which did that.

mi se pare un serviciu de bun simt, mai ales ca este anonim

Ce mi se pare si mai de apreciat este ca, desi au fost citati in instanta, solicitandu-li-se inclusiv sa predea datele clientilor, refuza sa o faca. Mai mult, cred ca sunt singura companie de acest gen care discuta despre astfel de situatii, mentionand ca au mai primit, de-a lungul timpului, astfel de citatii, insa de fiecare data au protejat date clientilor.

However it's not the first time we receive a court order and provide no data with a reference to our ToS, so I doubt anything will happen at all. Once the process is concluded, it should be publicly available at their .gov site, so we'll just grab some popcorn and read it.

What happened during previous Court orders? Did you present there? Did you come with a lawyer...? Did a lawyer go there in your name...? Care to share more details about what happened in the previous situations?
Similar, now... are you going to user a lawyer's services for this order?



We are very proud to be able to fight for the cryptocurrency neutrality and provide resilient services aiming to countermeasure censorship.

People like you are so rare... You are a rara avis, eXch!
