Wow this is great actually. In my country, robbing and snatching during late at night is common especially if your riding public transport and that's how dangerous it is. Some users might be checking their phone to see what's new or pop up on forum but with this, maybe it would be avoided such using phones in dangerous places.

But this is right. For such option would be expensive and impractical but the feature of notification is really helpful for those users who always received merits.

Nice observation but we shouldn't say it until they have been launch all. Aside from earnbet which already been trading, we can still hope for the other projects to strive . Those IEOs going to Probit isn't bad as long as the project have potential they can outrun the trend of losing. Ive seen some projects that increase even listed there.

To be honest I didnt deny it. As Ive told you, Ive been active in forum where I left those social bounty life of mine and become more focus on posting here where I learned the good stuff a newbie must learn. I always reiterate that in my motivational post. I will not deny that I am hunter focus in earning before. My perspective change since then, and from member rank I came here barehand doing some post on local and some outside section. Cause I am sure I didnt do what you are accusing me or somehow chuckbuck insisting me that I am. I know you have reputation here and as a user who grow matured I dont think I can argue with it as your one of the reputable member here. I'm defending my reputation too as I earned going to this rank with hardwork unlike some who are just gained the rank easily. Anyway, this is my last post to argue with. Thank you.

Is this what you mean? Just copied it from the quote you send since as Ive mentioned the account is suspended already and I dont have access to it now. I dont know why youre asking this. Just check out also the link he reported https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3124991.msg33824461#msg33824461 he posted different status from different users.

I think its not hard to copy paste any post on Twitter as url link can be copied easily even other's post.


I did joined during week 3 when there's an open slot. So I dont know when does their application commenced. Anyway, regarding that X name of them, might better to addressed it to them as you wish.

I didnt defend them I'm just saying a possible mistake did by Little Mouse which later on proved wrong by Morsville. That's why I said to Chuckbuck that it could be leading somewhere.

@marlboroza, regarding the accusation of that coincidence on bgaf and minairia3, why not asked them and directed it to them.

Well I appreciate those effort made by plvbob0070 as Ive seen how he rank up. I can't argue with the reasons your implying about coincidence.

Check out the spreadsheet date presented by marlboroza there is timestamp from filling up google form 11/06/2017, which is far from the date of the campaign were that scammer used my twitter account. The campaign by the way, is muskcoin which doesnt uses ethereum network and their public key looks like this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3124991.msg38479636#msg38479636. The sheet came from a different bounty which I dont know where marlboroza copied. The campaign of musk started March 14, 2018 ( four weeks) while the sheet where my address and twitter indicated dated November 6, 2017. The materials used arent matched. So I dont know where is the part that he uses even my wallet. Make sense? 

Compelling? I think data presented were wrong. Check my explanation and see how does lead to any form of cheating. I'm not made that way.

I am sure it is legit mate I am familiar with their on going campaign. But most of the campaign Ive mentioned are just new and likely Ive pick just in case, I'm joining one. Anyway, good feedback, I am just state my reason that some managers wouldn't accept campaigns that are scam for money. But your point is right, since its not directly affected on their reputation.

Hello, I am an active bounty hunter when I first joined the forum and we all knew that many scammers are trying to used information of some participants for cheating. Spreadsheer is visible so they can just copy the information about other users. As for this CoinMeX account he probably used my twitter account that now is suspended.



Yes that my address until now. Those post are part of my social bounty life before.. Since I become an active forum users for quite sometime, I decided to delete all my reports, and anything related to bounty to clean off my post history for bounty campaign.


I am not connected to the accused account of RaptarX and Little Mouse, if you are trying to imply that I covered up them just because of Marlboroza sent image.


Hi dude.. As Ive mentioned I'm an active bounty hunter on altcoin section, and I'm not sure why transactions can be sort of an evidence of cheating. Is there not any chance that those guys rewards can be pass to their colleague and ask for favor to trade it for them? Why? In my country, using an account of coins.ph needed some verification and government IDs. Why do you think they ask also for favor if they can trade it on their own. The fact that they cant provide those requirement to pass that. I have a lots of friends who doing those airdrops and bounty and not just those youve mentioned here asking me to sell their tokens in return of a small payment. Why they are doing these sometime the reward is bit small and transaction fee from dex or any centralized exchange will be a burden.

Regarding the campaigns they are joining, it's up to them to join it. I have a telegram channel where Ive posted legit campaigns t.me/etherium24bounty

Im active on blog campaign and twitter campaign and this post shown how many campaigns Ive joined. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5192452.msg52739765#msg52739765 and of course I shared this in our Local community when I'm doint this and they are also joining my suggested campaign. You know how small, the rewards on some social campaign and asking for favor to trade it for you isnt a problem IMO. Well if those flagged as cheating then so be it. Im just expressing myself for this case accused me for.

I am connected with transactions with those guys but the proof that I am using them as an alt. Come on, why not we do some KYC if youre not that convinced. Anonymity is important but I'm willing to do it if you still not happy.

Like I said. It was my choice, I did knew before Hydax and I'm not saying its not legit. If you like to join them feel free no one is stopping you but it sounds like I am needed to list it for your sake. This isnt only about legit one but as Ive mentioned campaign that are safe to join which I reiterated that your not going to waste time with others. I'm sure youre aware their campaign's reward right? I do hope they just provide an airdrop instead a campaign rhat would be shared by so many with an underrated budget. I say this, cause their token is already traded. Yes, it could increase but the time constrained with their bounty cannot help them much.

I did have a telegram channel for the one I think worth it. I will try to share this some other time quite busy at the moment.

Agrees but of course since this is an altcoin discussion, I guess we should restrict and dont compare those btc pais campaign. Softcap is indeed important, a little risk should be wager as a participants right? Dont expect free rewards can come without any risk too.

I'm thinking already to do it since the traffic of response here pretty overwhelming. Anyway, I'll try as much as much as possible to help. Cannot be right all the time, I just do hope some will not blame me just in case some failed. 

So this feature is only restricted to coinbase users. Not a good one for me, as I can send btc with other addresses even though its traditional method. It just an upgrade but the effectivity is restricted to their users.

Take note, that many countries arent even allowed by coinbase to register.


I still prefer the hexadecimal address and having username can also be a confusion to other users with mostly almost username. I remember eos blockchain in this idea, which confuses some due to difference of one letter or number and could end up sending to wrong person.

As starter, maybe it can help in your research this article which explained the facts about utility and security tokens. Utility Tokens Vs Security Tokens

This is based on Sec guideline and probably covered USA and Singapore, but I am not sure about China since their idea of tokens are quite different from the perspective of SEC.

Wow that's suggestion seems like youre ordering me to do the screening. It's not that I dont want to help but, by posting some of my suggested campaign doesnt mean I'm gonna be the one to find it all for those hunters. As you can see I'm not paid here and this is just an initiative, I appreciate if the upcoming bounties will be search by other's too.

In terms of trading I suggest dont play with the new coins instead those big coins and tokens with volume. The risk trading new introduced coin is very high. Sorry for your loss but the topic denotes bounty so, trading altcoins is a different story.

It's just some error and glitch mate. Everyone here also experienced the same. I did check also yesterday and giving me a result of 437merits for all time earned merits while the 120days shows 537merits with a deficit of 100.

But dont worry I think OP is fixing all issues. Monitoring and checking outs bug isnt an easy task so lets just wait it will go back to normal.

The volume is quite huge in difference when youre gonna compared it with CMC feed data. Check out this volume for Binance (example) as per CMC adjusted and reported data.








Volume is updated hourly.


Imagine the percentage of fake volume  72% when you compares from the adjusted data of Binance to bitcointrade volume and a whooping 87% from reported data. Coinmarketcap is a nice asset tracker but they should clearly be transparent with volume of their listed exchanges. This only for Binance, what more for other exchanges.

One thing is for sure. You did contributed helpful posts outside and inside of our Local during the time of your possesion of that account. Clearly many defend you on that case as we believe that youre telling the truth and even though many also accused both of you and Debonaire217 about the possibility of one owner, at least you come clean.

Congratulations mate.. Youre a good poster, hope you continue what you started. Dont be affected so much with the issue, and just focus on posting and interacting here. Who knows, maybe the threat of creation of flag of Lauda will not come.. Anyway, I like the design of the infographics, paggawa ako haha kidding.

Congratulations again mate.

Hello there is already posted regarding the AMA of CMC here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228872.0
Also the date seems wrong on your infographic its noted as July 17 instead of February 28. Might as well locked the thread since its already a  duplicate. Thank you so much.
