The reason why the accounts are hacked seems obvious to me and is an economic move, accounts stolen are used to wear the signature with a high rank or to be sold. High rank accounts can be worth thousands of dollars and provide thousands of dollars from various signatures campaigns. How are these accounts hacked? First of all the ignorance of the users.

s it possible with this type of forum to have popup mouseover? Maybe if you do not want to have the option to see a person's trust on the whole forum (even if I do not understand why) it might be useful to have a mousover window popup appears on a person's nickname. What do you think about it?

~ b) se lo consentissi solo ai mod - cosa sulla quale sarei più che d'accordo - richiederebbe ai mod un impegno decisamente maggiore dell'attuale perché dovrebbero leggersi TUTTI i thread..... e come mi è stato fatto notare ad inizio thread quando auspicai un maggior interventismo dei mod, non lo si può trasformare in un lavoro..... insomma: moderare sì ma con..... moderazione (battutona! ) Aggiungo io - sempre sull'ipotesi b) - che secondo me alle altee sfere sta bene questo modus operandi dei mod. Con un po' di BTC in pagamento tutto si risolve. Spesso basta incentivare le persone per ottenere un migliore risultato. Sono dell'idea che la carota è sempre buona. |

No one can say with accuracy if and when the market will recover, we can only hope for the recovery, I think the biggest problem is due to the fact in the too high number of scam coins that were born and that are being born every day.
People are losing confidence in the cryptomarket because of these continuous scams, probably (my point of view) if the market is regulated with at least some mandatory kyc for the team of ico, people would be more inclined to invest again.
All of this obvius has repercussions on the value of the bitcoin, because we can say it, it is who commands, the greater the value of the bitcoin is, the greater the value of the altcoin are and the more people invest in the market.

I've just created a Google Sheet with the 311 cases and most of the variables I've got (as of last Friday): The ones with exactly 10 Merit is what I'm interested in. If they would have earned their Merit through honest means, I would expect about the same number of users with 10 Merit as with 11 Merit. From your list: 185 users have 10 Merit 20 users have 11 Merit 13 users have 12 Merit 10 users have 13 Merit ~ Yes I've found a lot of them abused with friends or even their main account, some cases are still reported here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2896910.200 but since we have have a small number of cases where DT put a red tag on abusers, I've simply stopped to report those "small" merit abuses, it takes hours to find all of them and basically for nothing. You can do the same with 100 and 250 merits, you will probably find the same % where the x00 number is dominant, and not is not a coincidence. |

Hi guys I took a break in posting in this thread the various weekly updates is really too hot here in Italy (about 40 °C) and it is impossible to stay close to the PC for several hours a day.
The weekly merit is falling more and more, I think it is due to the fact that we are in August and many people in different countries in the northern hemisphere are on vacation, we are at about 3800 merit/week despite the merit source are increasing more and more. The charts will be back soon.

Maybe it's better to remove the personal info of user, you're giving away advertising as someone will read the links you posted.
Having said that, it seems obvious to me that nobody gives anything for free and even if people like to make money easily, it is almost impossible to earn 10k a day in a safe and secure way.

Why instead of showing the trust score only on that section you do not show it on the whole forum?
Even if Theymos activates the visualization in this section, scammers will change section to avoid it. Prevention is better than cure so maybe it's better to enable it on the whole forum.

I've sometimes had double reports marked as good, and sometimes as bad. Especially when the forum loads slow, it's very hard to keep track of which post I have reported already. When reporting many posts at once, it happens sometimes.
It can be, so I have the question, what happens if I report one message and the thread will be deleted after my report? What will happen to my report? Do mods will check before all reports and after they will lock/delete a thead? Does it stays unhandled? (I have around 30 unhandled reports) |

Tra un po se Dio vuole torno attivo strare con 35-40 gradi senza clima e con un termosifone come pc vicino è un incubo.
Piccolo OT. Stavo leggendo che il boss voleva aggiungere delle badge per chi reportava con il tasto "report" circa 4 settimane fa, dovevano essere attive dopo 1 settimana dall'annuncio ma fino ad ora niente.

I also have 3 Bad reports on my history the last days , but the Posts got deleted too! Dont know why but anyway keep reporting!
The reports marked as bad were probably duplicates (you reporting the same post 2 or more times). I can also confirm that I once reported the same message twice by mistake but both times have been marked with good report. Can this maybe be due to the fact that the thread maybe has been deleted and maybe all posts are automatically marked as correct? |

Accounts are banned for a reason, moderators has a better things to do then read your messagges for no reason. Someone has reported you for plagiarims and your account is now gone forever. Also looking at your post the account's history, has a gap of 4 years on posts with an interesting post: Uv gave me negative trust for no reason, haha.
I held 1 BTC for rob you frickin troll.
Not that it would matter. I did 200+ BTC escrow because people trust me. But whatever.
One more reason to leave this shithole for good.
Seems to me this was the last post of the original owner of the account and after that account seems hacked on the big hack attack back on days and sold to you later, or do you still have 200 btc transactions and apply for translations of shitcoins on the forum? |

Based on my experience here on the forum, most of the people who write this kind of message come from those two categories: - Bumping: paid people who post to bring the thread on the front page and have more visibility to try to sell as many tokens as possible (and why not to scam as many people as possible)
- Airdrop: people who participate in airdop and for request to join the airdop, they must post on the announcement thread on the forum.
You can have a better opinion about this problem by reading this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4720640.0 |

I keep asking myself how this bounty manager missed such a big farm. I just don't believe that post quality was high enough.
Bounty managers check participants and their work in each campaign. There should be a few additional rules added to make accounts farm hunting much easier.
I think we have problems with farms and bots because some bounties accept newly registered members. This should be prohibited and only accounts with member rank shall be accepted.
It is a easy answer: Most of managers are paid anyway whatever scammers are or not on the bounty's partecipants list. As far as I know, keep in mind this can be wrong, some managers are paid on how many users will join the bounty, for this reasons they will not report remove abusers, even better they will not look at them since requires a lot of time to find them out. On your last point, I agree since we have merit's system and is not very easy nowdays to get 100+ accounts with member status it would be great if only members+ can join bounties but I think it will never happen since 90% of hunters are with newbie/junior rank and a big % of them are abusers. |

I guess KYC for all the members is a must to avoid bots or anyone having so many accounts.
No it is not, I can post right here a link with eth link addresses connected and a kyc passed from spreadsheet data for one abuser with atleast 10 accounts. It's seems quite easy to "steal" ID documents. Also someone probably will sell 3rd world ID for few bucks. |

Sadly many discussions of the altcoin area are continually influenced by bumping services that use low rank accounts (reading here on the forum, I do not remember exactly where, we talk about a few hundreds of dollars a month) in addition to this fact, the threads bounties are abused from an infinite number of people who use low ranked accounts to abuse with multiaccount.
The solution to limit this is to limit the altcoin area for people with rank member + or copper.

It is common to associate the price of the ethereum with the relative price of ERC tokens, normally when the price of the ethereum rises, the value of the most of tokens also increases.
This I think is due to the fact that tokens are based on the ethereum chain and without this blockchan can not have any value at all. Also worthy of note is the fact that when the value of the ethereum rises the price of the tokens rises, otherwise when the value of a single token rises the price of eth can also fall.
Finally, when a token of a project reaches a strong project idea it can be detached from the chain ethereum to create a new blockchain, the last big example is EOS.

How do you know they're all sharing an IP? Many farmers will share one or a handful of IPs but the smartest ones wouldn't. I wouldn't be against something like once an IP is used to create an account it is 'burned' and no more accounts can be created from that one. Maybe paying the evil fee or whatever per account could white-list them, but not sure how effect either suggestion would be.
I understand your point of view but I think that if we introduce this limit of account for a single IP it slows down and a lot of activity for people who have more than 500 accounts. I do not think these people are willing to pay for "evil fees" and I strongly doubt that they are going to change their IP 500 resetting the router every time. Also if I'm not wrong the Evel fee is only IF anyone get a ban till that moment you can use unlimited number of accounts for IP. When someone is banned, their IP and some of their neighboring IPs receive evil points. The thought occurred to me recently that you could create a map of the Internet according to evil points, and I couldn't resist doing this right away. The result is pretty cool-looking IMO. It also seems to show that the evil score system is working as expected: the vast majority of the Internet is not being forced to pay, and in the isolated sections where a registration fee is required, prohibitively-large fees are very rare.

As with anything related to the crypto world you must have a strategy and follow it. From my point of view that could obviously different from yours I follow the following rule:
if I do not need immediate money I keep tokens for a long time with the risk of taking zero but also the hope of doing a 100x, if the tokens are listed on a big exchange I have a tendency to keep them. Finally, if you obviously need money immediately for necessity, sell them.
