Both of your stats are very close! Competition maybe?
Wouldn't call contributing to the forum competition. I mean sure, you take a peek left and right what the other (active) reporters are doing, but in the end, everybody is doing what they are abled to, and any reporting activity (given it's good reports, not spamming or whatever) is a good thing, no matter how high the numbers. That being said, I'd eat shorena for breakfast any given day  It seems I eat my breakfast when you are still sleeping, goes whos reporting while you catching Zs? Feel free to open a thread in games and rounds and PM me a link.
I wouldn't be abled to bet on that one, huh? I dont see why not, we need someone neutral to verify the count anyway. I think you have the wrong impression. The majority of my reports are "should be in <insert correct subboard here>", distantly followed by "spam/spambot" which are usually obvious anyway and "spam/double post: <link to other thread>". Id say this is similar for Lutpin, I know it was for mexxer-2.
Yes and no. Indeed, posts in wrong sections are quite a big junk of my reports, not to mention the annoying backlink spam for whatever products. Another thing I can't stand is when marketplace seller either don't delete old bumps or violate the 24h bump rule, so I report those very often aswell. However, there is one group of threads/spam/reports, which is somehow related to btc price movements. In case of big jumps, aswell as crashes (like the little one we had earlier today), the Speculation FUD spam gets significantly more active. Those threads ("bitcoin ponzi scheme", "2014 all over again",...think we all know the hits) make up for a big part of my reports aswell. Lets hope for steady price. |

@Husel Nein bis tdu nicht. Genau das meinte ich nur wenn wir jetzt mit TX Adressen und anderen Sachen um uns werfen wird die Erklürung nicht einfacher  Was direkt falsches zu sagen aber auch nicht. Ein private Schlüssel ist kein Seed und ein Eingang keine Adresse. -snip-
6. Ja. Wenn du den Private-Key exportierst (das wird auch irgendwo bei Copay gehen) kannst du die App löschen und somit den direkten Zugriff verhindern. Dennoch kann jemand zufällig den Private-Key finden (extrem unwahrscheinlich!!!!!!!) Und den Private-Key bitte mehrfach an verschiedenen Stellen aufbewahren nicht elektronisch. Kanns taber auch die Wortfolge aufheben das geht damit ja auch.
-snip-
Ich würde nicht mit privaten Schlüsseln hantieren wenn es nicht unbedingt sein muss. Heb den Seed (die Wörter) auf und gut ist. Viele Wallets erlauben das auch gar nicht mehr, eben weil dabei zu leicht was schief geht.
-snip-
Danke husel2000, das heißt es wäre sowieso besser, für jeden Eingang eine eigene Adresse zu verwenden?
-snip-
Was die Größe einer Transaktion und damit die Gebühren angeht spielt es keine Rolle ob du immer eine neue Adresse verwendest oder nicht. Bei der Empfehlung geht es eher[1] um deine Privatsphäre bzw. die von anderen mit denen du handelst. Im extermsten Fall benutzt Du immer die selbe Adresse und jeder der dir Bitcoin senden will kann dann nachgucken wieviele du wann erhalten und ausgegeben hast. Damit lassen sich leichter Informationen über dich sammeln auch wenn Bitcoin Adressen Pseudonym sind. Dies kann ggf. auch dazu führen das Verbindungen zwischen dir und anderen (virtuellen) Personen hergestellt werden können. [1] Es gibt auch einen Sicherheitsaspekt dabei, der spielt aber eher eine untergeordnete Rolle. Nur kurz für die Interesierten: Beim Ausgeben von den Bitcoin die auf einer Adresse empfangen wurden, wird der öffentliche Schlüssel zu der Adresse bekannt um damit die Unterschrift zu bestätigen. Das ist erstmal in Ordnung so, denn genau das ist die Rolle des öffentlichen Schlüssels. Sollte es jetzt aber jemandem gelingen einen Angriff zu finden der es erlaubt vom öffentlichen zum privaten Schlüssel zu kommen, dann sind Adresse zu denen der öffentliche Schlüssel nicht bekannt ist gegen diesen Angriff geschützt. Ein solcher Angriff kann z.B. ein fortgeschritener, echter Quanten Computer sein. D-Base ist soweit ich weiß kein echter Quanten-Computer in diesem Sinne. |

As shorena said, it doesn't make economic sense to scam/spam with a purchased account because that would mean loosing the money you just spent on buying said account. Doing this would more or less be throwing money away.
Quickseller often invokes this sort of rationale -snip- Alright, lets get the fallacies out. This is a personal attack, which does nothing to devalue the arguement at hand. The argument "pay X for account, must scam >=X to ROI => account trades make scams less likely to be profitable" was introduced by Salty IIRC. -people are irrational-
Yes, like these ratings. "account was traded => new owner will scam/spam" is not rational. Neither is "trades account && traded accounts result in scams => account trader is scammer". We can agree that a new owner may scam or spam and try to find evidence of the likelyhood.
-snip-
Another trick quickseller employs is for s/he and one of their alts to engage in conversation backing each-others assertions about a point...
-snip-
Which is a useless tactic if you argue with arguments and not against or for the person. |

Its not safe to use brainwallets it is rather risky especially in the long run. I recommend that you use web wallet
 and do not stack your bitcoins in one wallet only and in one site. The best way is to create multiple wallets in different site then distribute your bitcoins on them that way when hackers attack not all of your accounts will be taken away and not all btc will be lost.
Mitigating the risk of a single web wallet getting hacked, is actually solid advice. Brain wallets are not per se insecure, it depends how you creat and use them, same with almost all wallets. A brain wallet with a passphrase "Soft kitty warm kitty little ball of fur"[1] is as secure as a webwallet with a password "123456", "pussy" or "dragon"[2]. With multiple online service you also need multiple secure passwords, as reusing them might result in an attacker getting all your coins regardless.

Hi Thanks for getting back to me, no I didn't update the wallet my version is 0.5.15.
What should I do ?
Create another backup of your keys, just in case, and update to 0.5.19. If the transactions are still in the wallet once you updated see if the "reset blockchain" (not exact wording, but similar) helps and create new transactions. |

~snip Quickseller actually provided numbers recently on a meta thread here[1]. Its their personal perspective on this market, yes. There is no one else with similar experience stating other numbers though, so I think they are representative. Feel free to produce someone to contradict them. [1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1724930.msg17366026#msg17366026He provided numbers without evidences which is IMHO easy to contradict (unless there is a list of the 135 accounts he sold and we can check his numbers are real) Im pretty sure quickseller is willing to disclose the accounts to, e.g. me and let me verify the numbers. The things you wrote below in red seem to be your personal opinion and not arguments. you call "opinions" these ? Lets go over them one by one. - Higher Signature Payments
---> wrong value: you meant high signature spammers? - Bought account for signature sake are largely considered signature spammers: the concept is, you are an excellent writer so i pay you to have my company logo on yoru signature. If you start from the other side (since you pay me to have your logo in my signature, i will try to be an excellent poster) it is at a very high risk of signature spamming. This is "common knowledge", but there is no evidence to back this up. It rather looks to me like a few people voice their opinion on this loudly which does make it true. I personally have sold very little accounts (significantly below 10), but all joined a campaign afterwards and none where shitposters IIRC. This is from memory and might have changed as I didnt keep taps on them, but I can go through my trades and double check. Further more it make no sense for someone that recently invested coins in an account to fuck that investment up by spamming. Thats not economically sound behaviour. - Prestige of being a "Hero"
---> seniority is not a prestige, it is the real value of the accounts, which is NULLED by the moment it is bought- Being an Hero/Legendary is a prestige for the original owner only, not for bought accounts. Its indistinguishable for those that do not know the account was sold/bought. Also, often certain offers are limited by rank. I remember there was a hardware wallet giveaway of sorts (you had to write a lengthy review) limited to Hero members. The rank itself has benefits which gives it prestige. - Less posting restrictions - no 360 second jail
---> seriously? It was removed from my account the moment i became Jr? Theymos gotta love me then...- the 360 seconds limit is remove by the moment you are Jr Not entirely, I still have a 4 second limit and occasionally hit it when reporting threads. As a Jr. the limit is still more noticable. I would say whether or not this is an issue for you, greatly depends on how you use the forum. I often open 5, 10 or more threads at once as each loads slowly. This can also cause replies to take some time. I remember that I had still issues with the limits when I was Sr., seldomly and it didnt bother me. I can see though how it might bother others esp. on lower ranks. Trades on "Member" or "Full Member" are probably more likely than Hero and Legendary anyway. - Can be used to promote your business
---> wrong value: people knows your account history, if you use a bought account to promote your "out-of-nowhere" business, you are starting with the wrong foot, you making it ridicolous![/list] I recently got this account because that idiot defaulted a loan: do you think i would have been reliable if i show up in the "restricted" area of this forum and continuing to post as i was the original owner? If not...how long do you think it would become a ridicolous situation? Donators are a very specific subset of accounts and while they come with even more prestige, they are also rare enough that the ancient users of the forum may know them by name. How easy was it for you to get a deal here when you first started compared to now? My first deals here, took time because no one trusted me. Now its easy - as quickseller also suggested - to have others go first, they often say things along the lines of "because of your trust/legendary I go first". We both know both can be bought, but you would also value an account with a higher rank as better collateral wouldnt you? - Can earn money/btc by offering services requiring trust (e.g. managing a signature campaign)
---> have luck as sign camp manager with a bought account...THANKS GOD WE HAVE VOD!!!Unless i'm missing something, the only sig camp manager with a bought account is Avi...he bought that account when it was Jr...he is now Hero...i think he deserves that rank, am i wrong? I read this more general and less specific to managing campaigns, but Im pretty sure at least one of the campaign managers besides Avi uses a bought account. I have given several examples above where rank allows for certain deals or makes them easier. Yes there are a couple of my opinions on those red lines you mentioned but....how can you consider NOT ARGUMENTS the red lines above. shorena?

Now that you expanded on them its easier for me to reply to them. |

I've only reported 34 posts with 70% accuracy. Maybe I'll take another look at the rules in order to work out what's best to look out for.
You may be reporting some complex issues wrongly (e.g. trolling). If you want the easiest to increase that number, then reporting backlink spam, referral spam or old bumps it the way to go. -snip- Sounds like it's already on! Where can we place our bets?  Feel free to open a thread in games and rounds and PM me a link. That would be an interesting sight to see. There's a long way till 20k though. With bitcoin's price increasing, we may get more spammers and bots. Then 20K might not seem a long way off. There should be another statistic - number of reports which resulted in the mods imposing a ban. I think you have the wrong impression. The majority of my reports are "should be in <insert correct subboard here>", distantly followed by "spam/spambot" which are usually obvious anyway and "spam/double post: <link to other thread>". Id say this is similar for Lutpin, I know it was for mexxer-2. Me and mexxer-2 had some sort of contest for some time, but it seems they are less active now. |

Did you update to the latest version 0.5.19? There is an issue with older wallet versions and the way they sign transactions.

Also, if you try to regulate (stop) account trading and farming, then all you are going to do is force traders and farmers to evolve so that their behavior is less obvious.
Darwin didnt consider these species and their evolution indeed, it seems to me they are downgrading their evolution lately tho, whatcha think? Anyways no, they do not evolve, i'll tell you what they will do: they will go trading their accounts somewhere else, not here. (weird you didnt think about this possibility...is it too evolved for ya?) Which is more or less what IMHO quickseller meant. What does this accomplish though? I only see benefits when trades are done here and openly, not when they are done elsewhere in secret. Maybe you see something I dont. (which leads 99% to exit scams)?
You are going to have to cite evidence if you want this statement to be credible. The easy way (read a fucking trend) which is lately filling lazy members mouths here, is to use this formula on their reply "you HAVE to provide evidence". Quickseller actually provided numbers recently on a meta thread here[1]. Its their personal perspective on this market, yes. There is no one else with similar experience stating other numbers though, so I think they are representative. Feel free to produce someone to contradict them. [1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1724930.msg17366026#msg17366026No, i dont have to provide any evidence (unless you asking for an evidence of a trade, a transaction or shits like that): i express my opinions which eventually are not FUD (IMO) unless you have solid arguments to prove the contrary. But i'm going to feed your laziness to read the forum and to understand the general matters and their reasons why people DO NOT like account's trading, so here are the evidences (me in bold red):
The things you wrote below in red seem to be your personal opinion and not arguments. Exchange Hero for Legendary because the forum has moved on and ALL of quicksellers points are valid. People come in the "legendary one day" thread and are admiring the rank publicly. This used to be true for Hero and maybe still to some extent. It is good that you dont give a shit about the rank, because in reality it does not matter, as it can be bought. Others however do, whether you accept that or not. ...reasons...why a Hero member would be valuable (for example): - Higher Signature Payments
---> wrong value: you meant high signature spammers?- Prestige of being a "Hero"
---> seniority is not a prestige, it is the real value of the accounts, which is NULLED by the moment it is bought... - Less posting restrictions - no 360 second jail
---> seriously? It was removed from my account the moment i became Jr? Theymos gotta love me then...- Can be used to promote your business
---> wrong value: people knows your account history, if you use a bought account to promote your "out-of-nowhere" business, you are starting with the wrong foot, you making it ridicolous![/list] ... Additionally, an account with positive trust has value for the following reasons: ---> nope- Greater chance of being able to promote your business
---> again?- Can entice others to send first to you, which will result in a lesser chance of you getting scammed
---> oh wow...this actually made me horny...- Can earn money/btc by offering services requiring trust (e.g. managing a signature campaign)
---> have luck as sign camp manager with a bought account...THANKS GOD WE HAVE VOD!!!- Prestige/respect of having positive trust
---> again the prestige mode button is here...lack of arguments?- Can be used to scam, it is rare that this happens, however it is a reality that others should be made aware of
---> are you aware of?[/list] The ONLY points i agree on your post are obvious, but again i'm going to feed your laziness: 1) When accounts are sold, the new buyers will have a greater incentive to try to scam because they know there is a chance it will receive negative trust eventually anyway, so they have less ways to make their initial investment back.
2) Owners of accounts (the original owners) will have greater incentives to try to scam because the EV of a scam attempt verses trying to sell their account would be greater because of the low prices their account would now be worth, when compared to the potential payout of scamming.
AMEN! You know...i dont like witch-hunting as well and sometimes i dont have the mental strenght to follow Timelord's investigation as he clearly is being way more anal than me (hey i have a life too...), but sometimes i wonder if your account is a bought account too because trust me: "young members" like me in this forum are having an hard time to believe you were a DT long time ago... ~Gun
account farming and trading (which leads 99% to exit scams)?
Please don't give any evidence to back this up. i wonder if your account is a bought account too because trust me: "young members" like me in this forum are having an hard time to believe you were a DT long time ago...

Hallo Zusammen,
ich beschäftige mich seit gestern mit Bitcoins und habe bisher Konten bei Bitpanda und Blockchain.info eröffnet und ein paar mbtc für das Verständnis hin und her geschoben.
Jetzt habe ich von einer Protokolldatei gelesen, die bei Transaktionen erstellt werden soll und öffentlich einsehbar ist?
Gemeint ist vermutlich die Blockchain. Die besteht in der Regel aus mehr als einer Datei und ist zur Zeit ca. 100 GB groß. Hier meine Frage:
Was sieht der Empfänger meiner Bitcoins?
- sieht er wie hoch mein Guthaben ist?
vielleicht - sieht er von welchem Konto ich die bitcoins erhalten habe bzw. die Historie der Bitcoins davor?
Öhm, es gibt keine Konten und das mit der Historie ist ein bisschen komplexer. Ich denke wir sollten erstmal ein paar Grundlagen klären. Mehr dazu weiter unten. Und wo genau kann ich diese Protokolldatei einsehen?
Es gibt diverse Blockchain Explorer, wie z.B. blockchain.info oder blocktrail.com Vielen Dank für alle Antworten.
Dominik
Also, Grundlagen. Es gibt kein Konto und es gibt kein Guthaben. Bitcoin hat wenige wichtige Konzepte die dir in der Regel von deiner Wallet (oder Wallet Service) vorenthalten werden, damit es einfach für dich ist. Wenn Du verstehen möchtest wie Bitcoin funktioniert dann ist das aber eher hinderlich. Das gilt auch für die oben verlinkten Blockchain Explorer. Die zeigen z.B. "Absenderadresse", die existieren aber gar nicht. Also, es gibt Bitcoin Transaktionen. Eine Transaktion hat immer mindestens einen Eingang und einen Ausgang. Ein Eingang verweist entweder auf eine andere Transaktion (wichtig, nicht(!) auf eine Adresse) oder die Bitcoin sind neu erzeugt (durch Mining). Solch ein Eingang hat einen Wert, z.B. 1 Bitcoin und dieser Wert kann mit einem Ausgang an(!) eine Adresse gesendet werden. Mit Adressen kann also nur empfangen werden, nie gesendet. Dies wird dir in einem Blockchain Explorer aber anders angezeigt. Was dort als "Absenderadresse" angezeigt wird, ist die Adresse auf der verwendete Eingang ehemals empfangen wurde. Du solltest jedes Mal wenn du Bitcoin empfängst, dem Sender eine neue Adresse nennen. Dadurch ist es für andere schwieriger herauszufinden wieviel Bitcoin du insgesamt hast, da die Adressen erstmal nicht in Verbindung zueinander stehen. Ob du sie mit dem selben Programm oder dem selben Service verwaltest spielt dafür keine Rolle, dies wird nicht in der Blockchain dokumentiert und ist daher auch nicht öffentlich einsehbar. Eine Adresse bestimmt wie die Bitcoin weiter verwendet werden dürfen. Dies kann ein relativ komplexes Script sein, das z.B. die privaten Schlüssel von 2 Personen benötigt. Üblicher sind aber sog. "Version 1" Adressen[1]. Die sind daran zu erkennen das sie mit einer 1 anfangen, Adressen komplexerer Scripte fangen mit einer 3 an. Um Bitcoin die auf einer Version 1 Adressen empfangen wurden auszugeben, braucht es legitlich eine gültige Unterschrift vom passenden privaten Schlüssel. Die privaten Schlüssel sind also unbedingt zu schützen. Nun zur Historie, durch die Art und Weise wie Transaktionen funktionieren, kann man immer zu der vorherigen Adresse gelanden auf welcher der Eingang empfangen wurde. Dies lässt sich bis zur Erzeugung der Bitcoin zurückverfolgen. Das bedeutet aber nicht das man auch weiß wem die Bitcoin gehört haben oder wofür sie verwendet wurden. Oft ist es auch so das Eingänge die auf mehreren Adressen empfangen wurden verwendet werden, z.B. um eine größere Zahlung zu tätigen. Diese Adressen gelten dann als verbunden und man kann in vielen (aber nicht allen) Fällen davon ausgehen das diese Adressen der selben Person/Firma/etc gehören. Es gibt sicherlich noch mehr zu sagen, aber ich denke das sollte für den Anfang erstmal reichen, bei Fragen fragen.

What do people think about adding a SMAS column as well, i.e. whether the campaign uses the blacklist? The BTCT account price estimator already uses it as well. I'm certain that there are some *cons* to this idea and that spammers / farmers will hate the thought of it, but I figured I'd just throw it out there.
As this thread was linked in the SMAS thread to show how "all" campaigns rely on SMAS now, I agree it would be worth pointing out whether or not a campaign supports SMAS. We could do that either with an additional column, or with some color coding (for example: (Lime)green -> SMAS camapaign; Yellow -> Uses the SMAS list; Blue/black -> No status). The color coding is such a useful idea that it can be used for other things as well like (a.) Warning for likely scam in PNYC (b.) Color assignment for different campaign managers; no color if there's no hired manager. Do we really need to cram more information into the table? This is supposed to be an overview, which is why the detailed section was removed. SMAS or not is IMHO something for a detailed section, possible participants probably dont care about SMAS strong enough for it to be an initial indicator anyway, so it would be enough to know about it once they review the campaign thread. We already have a warning indicator, the red asterisk. The campaign manager is also only one click away should anyone care strongly about them. |

And crash to $0:
A. How would you feel and
Incredibly confused as it would mean that no one was willing to buy bitcoin, which strikes me as atronomically unlikely to happen within 24 hours. B. What would you do?
Probably the same I do now. |

From what I have understand from you post
1. You create an online wallet at Blockchain.info (I assume since you say "blockchain")
2. They sent you an email containing your wallet identifier and confirmation link
3. You cannot confirm it because you was offline (explain some more?)
4. You purchase some Bitcoin from CoinBase and then sent it to your newly create Blockchain wallet (which haven't been email-confirmed)
5. You did not the Bitcoin in your balance
Well, then one of the highest possibilities is that you withdraw to the wrong Bitcoin address. As long as it is a valid Bitcoin address, I believe CoinBase will send out. Blockchain.info just act as an wallet. The email confirmation is to confirm your ownership to the account (so they can send you a verification link whenever you want to login as an added security).
Edit: It will be great if you can post your Bitcoin address.
1: YES! Blockchain.info 2: EXACTLY 3: I didnt go online for like 3days because i was exetremely busy. 4: YES! It wasn't emailed confirmed yet. Though the confirmation link had been sent. 5: Bitcoin is not in the wallet till now. But they sent to the email which i used in creating the blockchain.info account and i got a confirmation email via coinbase in that same email.... Did check whether or not your coins are still with coinbase? If you have not given coinbase your bitcoin address from blockchain.info they wouldnt send them there. |

Wow, listened about Brainwallets for the first time.
Ok, I will not go for it. For me best for holding Bitcoin is Paper Wallet and for daily transactions is Online wallet.
Any better suggestions?
Brainwallets are fine but human sometimes can't generate a passphrase that is secure enough and If he does , chances that he forgot the passphrase over the years are high. An online wallet that doesn't give you control over the private keys are never suggested , not even for daily transactions , here is my order : 1. Hardware wallets 2. Paper Wallets 3. Desktop wallets (for daily uses) 4. Web wallets (that gives you your private keys) Ok! Thanks for your suggestions. I will go for Desktop wallet now! As per private keys, do blockchain.info gives them? Blockchain.info used to give the private keys but they are not doing it anymore so I suggest sticking to electrum and maybe use btc.com for web and phone. AFAIK they still give you the seed, as their new wallet is HD which indirectly gives you access to the private keys. I dont have a new bc.i wallet though, so its just what I picked up in context to people trying to sign messages. |

Nice, lets see who gets 20k first.  You have reported 10783 posts with 97% accuracy
By that time, I am sure a staff position will open up and your profile would stand out amongst the candidates. Several people became staff before me regardless of my report numbers or accuracy. My goal was never to become staff, but to help improve the board. I guess if it was my goal, I would have stopped reporting by now.
-snip- Sounds like it's already on! Where can we place our bets? Feel free to open a thread in games and rounds and PM me a link. |

This may have been answered somewhere between pages 4 and 19 but I stopped at pg. 4. Sorry, but there are many other interesting threads for one to read here.
Regarding referral links: There are a few sites that I use that offer a reward for posting your referral link in their thread, sometimes its just a user name they want you to post. There are thousands of pages wasted to this, 10's of thousands of posts. I am a guilty of contributing to this nonsense but the bonuses offered really make a difference in their games.
My Question: Does the posting of one's referral link to a specific thread in which the sole purpose of that thread's creation was for the posting of one's referral link hurt one's member status, ranking, or overall reputation as a serious member of the community?
If you consider receiving a ban for spam as something that hurts your member status, the answer is yes. You are not allowed to create a thread for ref links. Put it in your signature and be done with it. |
|
|

I understand that people have varying agreement on the negative aspects of signatures, but can someone tell me any positives?
Self-expression is not really necessary to be seen every time you post. If you have something interesting then it can be posted in your profile.
A quick pros vs cons makes me wonder why signatures still exist here.
Not sure what exactly your problem is with signatures per se. Wana elaborate? #1 more room than in your profile #2 better visibility than in your profile #3 area where ref links are allowed #4 allows formatting and/or colors depending on your rank |
