 IOS Signature CampaignIOS is looking for users to help promote the next generation of blockchain infrastructure and raise awareness here on the Bitcointalk forums. This signature campaign will run between April 7th, 2018 and May 5th, 2018 at minimum. Following this 4 week period, the campaign will be evaluated and possibly extended. What is IOS?The Internet of Services (“IOS”) is an innovative and secure blockchain paradigm designed to provide the infrastructure for all kinds of online service providers. Groundbreaking innovations, such as Efficient Distributed Sharding and Proof-of-Believability consensus approach, give IOS extensive horizontal scalability and allow for unprecedented transaction throughput, all while guaranteeing blockchain security. Scalable and secure, the IOS platform aims not only to provide users a completely decentralized way to exchange online services and digital goods, but also enable developers to deploy large scale dApps with the ability to support massive numbers of users. Unlike most other tokens, the purpose of this campaign is to raise awareness, not raise funds. The institution-only private sale of IOS has already been completed, and there will be no public sale. ERC-20 compatible IOS Tokens ("IOST") are already tradable on many major exchanges (Binance, Huobi, and OKEx). IOST will be fully convertible to IOS once network testing is complete.

Economy / Goods / General trading tips and guidelines
|
on: February 14, 2018, 04:26:43 AM
|
Overview:One thing I've noticed during my time on these forums is that a good percentage of p2p scam accusations originate from the Marketplace sub-forums. Since there don't seem to be any solid guidelines on how to mitigate this risk apart from a note regarding escrow, I thought I'd create my own thread on the matter. The purpose of this thread is to outline what I believe to be best practice when trading in this section and how to avoid being scammed. Most of this is simply common sense, but perhaps it will be helpful to some. Guidelines1. Don't be afraid to ask for escrow, even if the buyer/seller has a trusted reputation. Any reputable trader will agree to this request, it should raise red flags if they are hesitant. Remember that there is no rush when trading, it is better to take a few extra hours or pay 1% more for the item you are buying if it means lowering your risk of being scammed. A good list of active forum escrows can be found here. 2. When conducting transactions via escrow, ensure that you are corresponding with the escrow themselves. Scammers will often pretend to be your escrow of choice by sending you a fake Skype or Email account. Only contact Bitcointalk forum escrows through details they have directly shared with you. If possible, request a PGP signed message, as most will provide one. 3. Check user feedback thoroughly. Not all scammers will appear with negative feedback at Default Trust level. Remember to look at untrusted feedback and see if there any negative ratings with substantial evidence. Untrusted feedback is often just as useful when determining who is untrustworthy. Important note: User trust is not visible to guests. To guests who are reading this, I highly suggest you create a forum account before trading with anyone so you can see their feedback, especially if they are selling via auto-sell.4. Be cautious when dealing with new accounts. Chances are there is a reason they created a fresh account, and those reasons usually aren't good. 5. Account rank and trust ratings do not necessarily indicate someone is more trustworthy. Forum accounts are frequently sold or hacked and used to scam users under the guise of previous good feedback or high activity level. Make sure to check your trading partner's most recent feedback as well as search their username in the security log. A recent password or email change might indicate that you are not dealing with the original account owner. 6. Be wary of self-moderated threads. These are generally only used to curate feedback and delete negative posts. The same is true of locked threads, if there is no obvious reason the thread is locked, assume it is to avoid negative reviews. 7. I strongly recommend against purchasing items through automated selling websites such as selly.gg or rocketr.net. Auto-sell links are no safer than p2p transactions, these websites make no guarantee you will receive the item you are purchasing. While these options appear more convenient and slightly safer than traditional trading, they are actually more risky. Extreme caution should be used when dealing with users who sell via auto-sell links in conjunction with a locked self-moderated thread, these are almost exclusively scams.8. If a deal is too good to be true, it probably is. This thread is a work in progress, feel free to comment with any guidelines you think might be helpful. Will try to bump this thread when I can so it remains visible.

Other / Meta / Unofficial merit source application thread
|
on: January 25, 2018, 10:20:51 PM
|
The addition of merit scores has created a new forum designation: merit source. What is a merit source?Certain users are designated as "merit sources". They can create new merit out of nothing, up to a limited number per month (which differs per source). I will not be posting a definitive list of merit sources (so that people don't bug them too much), though you'll soon figure out who they are if you pay attention.
How does one become a merit source?If you want to be a merit source:
1. Be a somewhat established member.
2. Collect TEN posts written in the last couple of months that have not received nearly enough merit for how good they are, and post quotes for them all in a new Meta thread.
3. We will take a look at your history and maybe make you a source.
I am especially eager to have merit sources in sub-communities such as the local sections.
Rather than creating an individual thread for each new application, I believe it would make more sense to consolidate all applications into one thread. Meta is already full of topics about the new system, and creating a new thread for each application will only increase this clutter. In addition to lowering the total volume of topics in the Meta section, this will also give potential applicants a better chance of being selected. In my opinion, it will be much easier for theymos/whoever rejects/accepts users to periodically check one thread rather than hunt down each individual thread on their own. Should people find this thread useful, I would be happy to keep the OP updated with a list of applications, including member name, date, and link to their application in order to help organize the process. Also, I understand there is no public list of merit sources, but I think it might help to at least indicate when an application has been "processed", without specifying whether this means acceptance or denial. Let me know what you guys think of this idea. Current Applications<Table updated -theymos> |

Other / Meta / Self-moderation on the marketplace
|
on: December 24, 2017, 11:53:50 PM
|
|
To begin with, I understand that this forum does not moderate scams- scammers are not banned and the only recourse for doing so is through user-generated feedback. While the trust system helps a great deal in warning users about which trades should be dealt with caution, I think more can be done to warn those who aren't as savvy.
As much as I admire this laissez-faire policy when it comes to trading, I don't think it would impinge too much on users' freedom if the ability to self-moderate threads posted in the Marketplace section was removed. To me, this is the equivalent of being able to curate your feedback- something you would only want to do if you have something to hide. If you look at which threads are self-moderated, I think this trend is pretty clear. Most users' first instinct when they're scammed is to post in the scammer's thread warning others. Unless they're in other users' trust networks, this warning is usually more visible than any feedback they might leave on the offender's profile.
Hopefully the staff will consider making this change. I don't believe it would be a hard one to implement, and I can't think of any significant negative repercussions it would have.

Economy / Scam Accusations / Attempted scam by coinmaster222
|
on: September 24, 2015, 02:10:05 AM
|
Two weeks ago I made a thread selling one of my CS:GO knives for $185 in BTC. A week later I received this PM from coinmaster222 offering to buy my knife: Hello,
Would you be going first with me if I buy your knife?
If yes, I offer $175.
Note how he insists on going first. I offer to use escrow: I would be willing to use a trusted escrow, I'll pay any fees. Is Tomatocage agreeable?
He doesn't respond for a few days and I send him a PM asking if he's still interested. He responds with this: Sorry someone hacked my account I know nothing about it.
According to the seclog ( archive.is of the seclog after receiving this PM) and his profile, he has not changed his password in the past month. We first exchanged PMs a week ago, meaning he is lying about being hacked. I checked his trust and found that he recently put his account up for sale in this thread. His stats perfectly match those described in that thread, the Total Time Spent Online stat is a dead giveaway. Anyway, I believe this is enough evidence that he intended to scam me and anyone else who would send first to him. He lied about being hacked once he realized there was no way I would complete the deal without escrow. He clearly doesn't care about his reputation anymore and wants to get a quick buck out of his account before discarding it, whether that be by selling it or scamming someone. I have left negative trust and I urge others to do the same, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets someone to send first because the account is a hero. |

Economy / Lending / Need a quick .21 btc loan
|
on: May 03, 2015, 03:41:05 AM
|
|
Amount: .21 BTC ($50 in BTC)
Duration: 1 day
Address: 1PFz3jtcfo4mkfw6zuMT1neZd7qvxbpkNJ
Interest: 5%
Reason:A friend of mine IRL asked me to make a purchase for him with BTC since he doesn't own any himself. Normally I would use my Coinbase account for something like this, but it has 2FA and I can't find my phone right now. I would like to get this done tonight, so I'm asking for a very short term loan to get this done. This is also why the interest rate is so low, since I will either pay back whenever I find my phone or just move some coins out of storage if I cannot do so in 24 hours.
I am not offering collateral for this loan due to its length and reason.
This offer is only valid for 6 hours after the time that I make this post (11:40 pm EST) or until I make a post stating otherwise, whichever happens sooner.
Thanks!

Wasn't sure if this was the right section to post this.
Anyway, I have no experience with buying BTC for Paypal, but might be looking to do so in the near future. I was wondering what % above the exchange rate I would need to buy at, I was hoping to pay no more than +5% or so. Is this a reasonable expectation or will I have trouble finding legitimate sellers at a price like this?

Other / Meta / philipma1957 and default trust
|
on: January 09, 2015, 11:10:14 AM
|
It appears that philipma1957 was recently added at default trust depth 1, resulting in users in his trust list being added to depth 2. The problem with this is that his trust list seems to be entirely composed of users who have left him positive feedback, resulting in 44 trusted positive feedback and only 5 untrusted feedback, a pretty abnormal ratio. In addition to the fact that this manipulates his trust rating to look higher than it should be, there is also the problem that many of these users have no business being at default trust depth 2, just for completing one transaction with philip. Here are a few of the best examples: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=331147https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=130725https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=155793https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=125012https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=364659There are many more accounts like these in his trust list that I did not bother posting, if you don't believe me, go take a look at the rest of his trust list. I understand that he probably created his trust list before being added to default trust, so I held off on posting this for a few days in case he didn't know he was now at depth 1. I believe he has removed 2 users since then, which means he has noticed but decided not to prune the majority of the list. I don't think he should continue to be at depth 1 if he refuses to be more selective with his trust list, and I think others will agree with me on this. |
