7121  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Cheating in bounty programs on: March 02, 2018, 08:40:13 PM
Do you think that some bounty programs cheat because they do not want to pay bounty hunters by bringing out things to do at they end of bounty campaign? Share your thought or experience.
Yes, I think sometimes the scam is perfected by the companies. At other times, the campaign managers do this so as to garner more profit to themselves by withholding what should be paid out.

No doubt, responses on this subject matter are going to be quite understandably subjective with the real victims of this not wanting to share their stories of bounties that ended up scamming their posters out of their rewards. I have had more than two similar experiences here with managers who ended up not paying out. Please, permit me to keep these experiences to myself and not share now. Of course, I don't expect the mangers to own up if shared here.

I don't give any merit to people posting in those threads, and... I feel that if you have to ask for merit, then I should consider the reason for your membership of this forum.

You have got your own principle and there isn't any harm in sticking to that. Others have got there's too. But don't you think it will be a case of insolence if threads asking for posters to submit none or under merited posts are ignored? You dont believe the OPs would feel slighted?


Well, I strongly believe that this merit issue is becoming annoying and the countless threads dwelling on it even make it look redundant. Perhaps, the mods should be at their top duty by deleting these threads.
7123  Economy / Economics / Re: Study says being rich is determined by chance rather than intelligence or talent on: March 02, 2018, 03:40:11 PM
Being rich is according to fate and predestination

This is pure African mentality and belief. I know it when I see it. Not as if it is a bad thing anyway.


I believe that being rich is determined by "Decision Taken" and not by chance. Intelligence or talent is way out of it. So, let's discuss decision taken in perspective. Take the profile of any known rich person and you would read in it how he made a certain decision that was either later favourable or went against him. And how he went back and took another decision that turned things around. Bill Gates didn't meet chance until he took that decision to drop out of school. The same applies to Zuckerberg. Even Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, at a point in his life had to take that decision of going into manufacturing which is today his greatest asset. Chance without taking the decision won't amount to anything.

For me, the difference between a poor man and a rich man is decision taken.

I can say as a doctor your mental and emotional situation is really bad. I feel sorry for you . i hope god helps you.
You definitely feel bruised.

A doctor would never say something like this. Stop lying.
How would you know that a doctor wouldn't do that? Except you are one yourself or you easily seek recourse to the fallacy of hasty generalization in discourse.


So, speaking as a physician, would you say it's ethical to publish a professional opinion regarding the mental health of a person whom you haven't examined and who hasn't authorised you to make such a statement?

Come on guys, don't you understand the place of sarcasm in word play? OP, probably meant a witch doctor. And yes, as a witch doctor he has the privilege to make his findings public.
7125  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Exchanges are starting to reduce their bitcoin withdrawal fees at last on: March 02, 2018, 01:27:09 PM
I don't know if we owe this reduction to the overwhelming activities from the Segwit or that people jettisoned using Bitcoin for transactions. Whichever, this is some great news if you asked me as transaction fees almost brought Bitcoin activities to its news. However, I believe the exchanges can still bring the witdrawal charges down more to accommodate minor transactions.



exchange needs to earn too and they need it to manage their exchange sites. it is a good thing that they reduce their withdrawal fees. i hope other exchange will follow soon.
As if the exchanges don't earn already with the reduced rate. Remember that the Binance exchange was almost running its exchange with zero interest with it started for some weeks.

This isn't the right section for this topic. You should move it to the Scam Accusations section: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0
. The vionex ICO is a jaw dropping scam. I actually wanted to make a thread on it until I saw this.
7127  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Using Whois to prevent possible scams on: March 01, 2018, 08:42:08 PM
I know that some projects are protected their website data. But it seems not have 100 accuracies. Rather than use whois as the measure to define if that was a scam project or not and it think the whitepaper and code should become a very good measure for that. But with the protected whois data and it will be a good thing to see that as a suspicious project that there was a possibility to be a scam project.

If you actually followed the vionex ICO now turned scam of the year closely you would've known that Whitepaper isn't enough to ascertain the authenticity of a project. Vionex did everything that made it look good in the eyes of the people but like a fart in the wind, the whole trace to the company has disappeared. Many people didn't suspect anything wrong until today when everything hit the airwaves.


I am trying to use WHOIS to know who is the owner of some ICO related web pages. Sometimes the identity is protected. Should I immediately suspect these? Is there any good reason to have it hidden?
I am talking about the WHOIS service of the internet domain registration authorities.

To the OP, using Whois is a better step to checkmating some of these fraudsters. And if site owner's identity is hidden, keep away from such ICOs. It is a scam waiting to happen.

Reserved
I don't understand why someone who got into a btc (KaratBank) campaign yesterday and is wearing the logo and avatar would be reserving a space barely 24hrs later for another bounty I don't understand such actions. Would you mind enlightening me (and others) on such act of jumpology? Or could it be another case of not reading the OP before applying?
7131  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: ... on: March 01, 2018, 08:11:28 AM
Why are the Vionex website and Twitter down? This is not a good sign just after a crowdsale has completed. Could it be a hack? I'd like an explanation from the team.

Even the telegram group has disappeared. I opened mine to follow up on the March 1st hype this morning. Just a click to open it and the link went off. I can't even get the link on any of their threads anymore. Even the viox site is down. What a way to scam and this is why I always advise against buying into ICOs. Wait and let the ICO end and the coin listed before buying in. I learnt my lesson from Hextracoin and Westerncoin.


Dear community, supporter, interested and friends,
we announce with pride that you can join now our Telegram channel.
https://t.me/VionexInfo
Now you can also check our notifications, renewals and updates on the way.

That link has stopped working. This is a pure scam and the idiot who is the OP deserves a death ish. I won't be surprised if this thread is deleted or locked up too to cover their trail.
7132  Other / Meta / Re: Somebody tried to reset my password on: March 01, 2018, 03:07:42 AM
A person with IP 241.82.108.50 tried to reset my password. I did not request this. What do?

OP is just trolling and basking in the euphoria that he has a thread created. Who gives a heck about a lazy noob account? You see, nobody does. Except you are writing from an alt account. In that case, it will be appropriate to say you are not acting serious here.

If you sought advice, now you got it. You may well do to lock his thread. Done.


Are you using another account?
Perhaps it's a hacker's aim at Merit and Rank.
Please be careful.
What are you on about? Isnt it clear that the OP is hiding something?
7133  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: LITECOIN CASH, THE FORK OF LITECOIN !!!! on: February 28, 2018, 04:37:43 PM
It's a scam. Beware.
LTC don't do such forks.

Don't be too certain of what you know not of. The fork already happened and the coin (Litecoin Cash, LLC) was even listed on the CMC 7days ago. The details are here. Although it has crashed from its Olympic height of over $5+ to $1.9 now. Link: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/litecoin-cash/

7135  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN NEW COIN] BITCOIN ZERO - EVENT DRIVEN SUPPLY BURN COIN on: February 27, 2018, 12:40:05 PM
ERC20 "Bitcoin" is just a joke. Just skip this project please!

Here is the greatest observation any poster has made. A true Bitcoin success does not lie with a borrowed blockchain such as a ERC20. It is crappy to go that way. Look at Bitcoinwhitecoin with its separate wallet address. Look at Bitcoin atom too. Why then will BCZ rely on ethereum blockchain?


15 Million supply is better than Bitcoin and if this quantity will reduce thru the burning, then this one will be a gold mine. Kindly update the thread with the details of your token sale, including the minimum purchase and some other details.
The supply of any coin doesn't matter much if the project of the coin isn't solid and realisable. The devs can only trap gullible investors but won't achieve much. And you are wrong comparing this with Bitcoin. Look at the blockchain both run on.
7136  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin bull run begins now? on: February 26, 2018, 06:09:01 AM
Market is depending on demands and supplies. If demands is high then why not? Imagine if there is war, natural disaster, or financial crisis, then the sky will be the limit
Your argument presupposes that whenever there is crisis or wars that the demand and supply of goods increase? This is a laughable disposition. Commonsense is that those involved seek out their safety first before anything else. Hunger or profiteering is not even a secondary issue in such a time.

7138  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-02-23] Moscow Man Mutilated And Mugged For $1 Million In Bitcoin on: February 25, 2018, 03:41:48 AM
The incident comes just weeks after robbers targeted a well-known YouTube blogger in St. Petersburg, assaulting him and stealing possessions including funds worth $425,000 from a safe.

Though the two cases are isolated, they are the same. However, this happening in a country (Russia) which has not really taken a stand going forward on bitçoin in terms of national monetary policy like the lack of it in Africa, speaks volumes of the publicity of bitcoin across the globe and it also highlights the need for a sense of reticence on one's holdings too. The dude in the cited case above actually brought his own attack on himself because of his loud mouth and display of affluence online. That isn't to say that these attacks are not condemnable. They are but people should be careful how they brag about their holdings, really.
7139  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Errors of beginners in the bounty on: February 22, 2018, 06:01:21 AM
Your mistakes, OP:
One: Using Google translation throughout.
Two: Not making use of paragraphs.
Three: Spreading the punishment to all who attempted to read your write-up.


I'm suspecting that OP used google translate for his post which obviously didn't made it better because he completely relied on it. Google translate is not as accurate as it sounds, IMO it is only useful on words and simple sentences.

Yes, he actually said it was translated. But I think it is a case of transliteration.

Just want to say - I'm not a native speaker, sorry for the translation...

Even You? You see? Even the doctor can't cure himself. Can't you read the title that campaign is FULL? And to even think this was the same reason you gave me negative trust a few weeks ago. What a shame! Now what's your reason for applying in a campaign that says FULL? I guess you never read the title before applying as you accused me or that you just were welding powers and flagrantly abusing the trust system. SMH...
Hold your tongue, there. I consider myself trusted and I have some notion that DarkStar_ thinks the same. Just tossed an application to see a concrete answer, though.

Note: If the campaign is full, but you are a very trusted member of the community, feel free to apply.


I knew you would be slippery and have an explanation to wriggle yourself out. I guess it skipped you not inserting that clause earlier. Anyway, just said it and I know you will be prowling the forum looking for a way to tag me later over any little slip now. Goodluck
