I've put some thought into this, and it seems that there is a possibility of a on-going scheme here. If account trades/sales are frowned upon and warrant negative ratings, then one can dodge that by taking up a loan and using their own account as collateral. Defaulting the loan becomes the equivalent of selling your account (to a farmer). Another reason for which lenders should stop taking accounts as collateral.

But I wonder after that whom you are going to moderate ?
There is plenty of things to do than moderate obvious sig. spammers. One simple example : Nokia was too successful just 5 to 8 years back. Due to their ignorance to listen to the demand of changes, they faced their fate.
False analogy fallacy. |

From where you got the exact user-base of bitcoin ecosystem ?
Even a newbie of this forum has more than 10 bitcoin addresses (obviously with some satohis from faucets) in their blockchain.info wallet.
You can't calculate the exact user-base due to the nature of the system, but you can use estimates in combination with the member database here to draw to some conclusions. Depending on what sources you prefer, let's start: Coinbase: >5 000 000 Users. Blockchain.info: > 10 000 000 Wallets. Zebpay: > 200 000 Users. There are many more though.
Let's take a look at the forum. Total number of users: 912 341. Total number of users with 0 posts = ~670 000. Now add people that are permanently banned, known scammers and whatnot to this number and subtract from the original total. This likely leaves us with < 200k active members. This is less than what Zebpay (India) claims to have alone. New members are being trolled / harassed by default trust maniacs and signature spammers.
Please provide me with exact cases of said harassment. If you can't, then don't flood the thread with nonsense. |

- A two (or is it four with a soft Cap of two) megabyte blocksize
The actual 'weight' limit is 4 MB. In other words, if Segwit is activated we will see blocks between 0 and 4 MB. However, it is expect that the 'maximum' block size will be around 2.1 MB (due to the current transaction type usage). If more people use n-of-m addresses, then the block size will likely be higher. Keep in mind that a higher block size does not necessarily imply more transactions. - Smaller transaction size by removing a large part of the transaction (I'm not sure what this is)
Actually the transactions are slightly larger IIRC. However, what you're referring to is the witness segregation.
This isn't really a thread to get familiar with Segwit. There are 'more simplistic' explanations elsewhere IMO. |

But we cannot expect non-native English speakers to participate into higher end discussions.
Simple: 1) Either you can contribute, thus you participate. OR 2) You can't contribute, thus remain in read-only mode. There's no need to justify shit-posting. But we need to note here that both are just bitcoin adopters without adopters there will be no life for bitcoin system.
This forum does not even represent 10% of the Bitcoin user base. I think people like lutpin and others are doing a good job to overcome scam but their services like SMAS and others are totally brutal and biased.
So that is what this is about? Do you have some alts blacklisted?  Notify me when a verifiable person, with genuine concern regarding post quality complains about some initiatives like SMAS or recent signature campaign guidelines. Don't tell me lutpin does not have alts, quickseller was lutpin part 1 until he was busted.
Until you have any kind of proof whatsoever, these are baseless accusations due to cognitive bias. |

so as you say this is around 1.4BTC right now, so if someone wins at 1.05 and someone else wins at 1.15 would they pay 0.1 over 1.4 or any amount over the initial 1 coin to start bidding? I just wonder why you started at 1 coin if this is not enough to cover costs? just asking for clarity To simplify: The minimum that you have to pay in order to win one of these coins is the equivalent of $1050. So far it seems that nobody will have to pay above it. |

ok moving in rep. Will update with the complete list in OP
Thanks!
Watching. Thank you for the transparency. Why did you take accounts as collateral in the first place ?
This practice needs to stop since nothing good can come out of it. In most cases, a defaulted account gets sold to either a spammer or someone with a intent to scam. |

Why did you wait with your bid?
 Haha. This won't finish before santa comes at this rate!
Where's the rush? Let's see it if ends before 2017.
This is fine looking paper. Too bad I can't bid. |

So if I make an HD wallet and use this website it should show all of the addresses, right?
No. Read my previous post: As far as I know, you can't see if addresses came from a HD wallet. The addresses come from the private key, and it's the private key that is created in the HD wallet.
I'm no expert, so I'd like to be corrected if I'm wrong on this.
Correct. You can't derive a list of all addresses from a HD wallet unless you have the seed/master private key. The only problem with that website is that it can create a false positive (e.g. wallets from a singular service). One should either be careful with wallets that show hundreds/thousands of addresses, or find the exact transaction link between a group of addresses (which takes some time and analysis). |

Getting the same amount for a MS69 and a non graded one? Miffman you better slow down on that alcohol.

Accounts Connected: feryjhie, anshar, restu001, goco, fathur01, thono, Aesara, kusumadewi, TECHNO55, nandaltc, bayu614, idzaldy ( Alts of Candystripes) Could you find exact TXs linking them together? Shouldn't be too hard considering the number of transactions. I've added them to OP. Looks like a severe signature campaign abuser. The literacy on those accounts seems similar. |

Yes, Services is currently a mess. From the signatures campaign threads that are constantly being bumped up, over the micro payments for X task, to the payment of Y after registration and deposit at Z (which is essential paid referral/affiliate). Something should be changed. How about "Paid Tasks"?
IMO micro payment tasks should go into micro payments (even though they are services). |

I thought that it just showed all addresses in an HD wallet. Does it make mistakes sometimes?
As far as I know, you can't see if addresses came from a HD wallet. The addresses come from the private key, and it's the private key that is created in the HD wallet. I'm no expert, so I'd like to be corrected if I'm wrong on this. Correct. You can't derive a list of all addresses from a HD wallet unless you have the seed/master private key. Hey Lauda, why didn't you make this thread self-moderated? We could have avoided all of the drama  . Hahahahahahahahaha I'm sorry I just had to say that hahahahaha. I crack myself up  . Do not dare to say that I did not warn you in time. |

No. Otherwise my personal vanity address wouldn't be in there, since it is from an SD wallet. There isn't much information regarding the exact mechanisms used by the website in question. However, in the majority of cases it tends to have correct results. This excludes extreme wallet cases such as the one that was posted by you on the previous page, where there were hundreds/thousands of addresses. These are the most likely candidates for false positives. |
