6221  Other / Meta / Re: Forum, sex, crypto. Are there chances to see growth of sex industry adds? on: August 03, 2019, 06:10:27 AM
I see some adult-related projects on bitcointalk before and even have a signature campaign I guess as long as no NSFW content seen on signatures I guess that way is okay. Adult content projects has high chance of booming on this industry because anonymity is what crypro at its best. I doubt theymos would even allow such ads, the forum rules negates that.
They have an opportunity to market here but I'm just curious why I haven't seen them running a signature campaign here.
This thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5125345.0 was from Hhampuz but this does not push through for whatever reason.
Personally, I have no problem win promoting an adult site as long as it does not violate any rules of the forum.
Some campaigns run in the past, not too many, includes this one: Eroiy.io
Personally, I don't have issues with them, but as someone noted, what if those porn sites contain threats, that will compromise and steal your bitcoin, or altcoins? I don't think the forum can and should manage those hidden threats from third-party porn-sites. It takes time and not the things forum should spend money and resources to deal with.

There are some good points from @Baronets and @Hhampuz, and others.
I hope that Bitcoin Talk will continue to be suitable for viewing over public WiFi in restaurants.
....
lets keep Bitcoin Talk clean as Bitcoin esdtablishes itself even further in the future.
some people, for religious or other reasons, won't want to take part in the Campaign or perhaps not even display the Signatures and I can respect that. Just as with Gambling there will always be people that could feel that it is wrong but at this forum I think people are more understanding than in other ones.
The forum does not stop to promote adult content, the only requirement was the title must have "NSFW" marked and the following rules.
I have no problems with it, but you may want to consider following theymos' rule from Advertise on this forum - Round 272:
Ads may not link directly to any NSFW page
It's nice to get a NSFW-warning after accidentally clicking a link.
With both gambling and porn, there is an argument that both are harmful and unethical in various ways. I don't subscribe to the logic in making these arguments, however I do not find these arguments to be outright frivolous.

In addition to the suggestions of many above to make sure the signatures are not explicit, and to consider not linking directly to explicit material, I would suggest doing due diligence on the site itself. I would want to have confidence the site is not going to be spreading malware when visitors visit the site, nor when visitors try to download content, and does not have an excess amount of advertisements.

I do find it somewhat strange that a porn site would want to advertise here. I would not find bitcointalk the most effective venue to advertise on for this kind of business.
I have no problem with pornsites and those sites' advertisements in the forum.
I have only several worry about them:
- Pornsites are one of the most dangerous in aspect of potential threats for visitors, virures, malwares, trojans, and other threats to visitors.
So, if you make sure that sites you aggreed to advertise for them are good pornsites, it is totally welcome. By saying 'good', I meant they are safe, without threats.
- And, if sites have options to pay with crypto, it is amazing for porn-lovers. They can easily to pay for their favorite videos with crypto.
It is one of good way to spread crypto around and help it invading more into real life.
So people's will aware before click the link that they are going to visit porno/18+ website  from signature.

As you knew, I am not a fan of userscript, because I don't run any kind of business here, and simply would prefer to use given options/ features from forum. However, I have one suggestion for OP, that is: the userscript should allow users to set up their prefered timegaps between pumps, rather than a default (or only by now) with 24 hours per one bump (with delete of past bump, because it help users don't violate forum rules.).
This new option will help users to choose bumping their thread each three days or each 7 days.

After using the site for a couple of days ,  i am really loving the games.
But the one thing that makes my mood off is the community there.
The site should think of adding more chatrooms.
And yes it should also allow users to add their avatars,  i mean the avatars should pop up in the chat.
More chatrooms mean their team have to allocate more moderators for chatrooms, each chatroom, for each language has to have at least one moderator. Because chatrooms are the most spamming, crazy places in gambling sites. I think they should have plans to hire local moderators for new chatrooms (if they want to open new ones)

I find this past interesting discussion.
Community Opinion - Signature Campaigns
It is not first and probably not the last time that someone wants to advertise porn site or ICO for porn site here. Few examples:

NSFW https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5114156.0  warning adult content +18
NSFW https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5059925.0 alert adult content +18
NSFW https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=625934.0  adult content +18
NSFW https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4723436.0 --> well, this scam bounty thread was edited and everything was removed from topic but as moderator didn't trash topic it is fine to advertise porn site here.

From my point of view, I don't see problem if someone promotes such site as long as it doesn't contain anything illegal. Just put NSFW/+18 or whatever you need to put in signature as a warning and forget about NSFW avatar.

6227  Other / Meta / Re: What happens after recovering a hacked account on: August 02, 2019, 09:42:13 AM
Okay, so, I did have a Bitcoin address posted on the forum a while ago. I am currently in the process of recovering the account.

The account was hacked because of a vulnerability on Bitcointalk's end, so there was nothing I could do to stop it.

At the time they did not even send me an email alert saying the email of the account had been changed.

Anyway, I have all the email addresses linked with the account, except for the one that the hacker used. It didn't take me two years to realize my account was hacked, rather, I knew it was hacked within a few months when I couldn't login, and when I tried to recover the password, it said no account was associated with my email address. I thought this was a glitch at first, then I saw someone posting with my account in Turkish.

I did ask a helpful user to leave a trust rating that the account was hacked, and after he made it to default trust, the hacker promptly stopped using my account.

I'm already in the process of recovering the account.
Follow the procedure in admin thread (I gave in my previous post).
Of your post that cointains your Bitcoin address has not yet been edited (by hackers), you can use that address to sign a message. That will be a plus point for you. Here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.0
Recover your account first, then let's see what happens with tags/ flags, that certainly hard to solve.
6228  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What to do to avoid phising sites on: August 02, 2019, 09:00:07 AM
Additional point:
In previous posts, I wrote about important sites. For example, coinmarketcap.com, from which you can easily search for links to exchanges, Binance, Bitmex, Okex, and so on. It is good if you remember those sites, but if you don't remember, searching them from reliable sites, that you remember. Most of things in crypto can be searched with coinmarketcap.com (project's website, explorer, social channels, available exchanges, etc.). Honestly, I always begin from CMC, not Google.
6229  Other / Meta / New restriction on airdrops / proof of authentication posts. Is it real? on: August 02, 2019, 08:09:17 AM
I see this post, but don't see any announcement on new kind of restriction in the forum, in Meta board. So, is it real?
The original post does not contain link to restriction, and I still can not find it, so far.
Hello everyone.
To conform with Bitcointalk's restrictions on airdrops; we no longer require airdrop participants to post proof of authentication by replying into this bounty thread.
Ah it's here. Appreciated the screenshot from hilariousandco.
Incentivizing posting within one or several threads via low effort tasks (e.g. signups or proof of participation for liking, following, subscribing, retweeting, tweeting a single tweet, joining a channel or group, etc.) is not allowed as it falls under the "no altcoin giveaways" rule (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2103687.0):
Such post templates are thousands in the forum, people kept posting it everyday, and I don't see they stop/ reduce (likely there is no strict control on it). When I saw that post from @julerz, I just imagined it is a new restriction.
He is the first bounty manager emphasizes about that restriction (I could miss some other managers whom did it too).

What do you guys think, is making self-moderated threads censorship?
Self-moderation is to prevent spam and of-topic posts (one of main usages of self-moderation), but yeah it might be compromised by scammers (whom open scam ANNs, then try to manipulate their scam ANNs). However, there are some serious boards, in which OPs can not self-moderate their threads, like this one, Meta board.
6235  Other / Meta / Re: What happens after recovering a hacked account on: August 02, 2019, 06:33:31 AM
You can get your account back, but let hacked account continously abused over two years or more is terrible.  I believe if you follow steps required and guide by new account recovery procedures, you might get yours back (if you have enough proof of ownership), but yeah I don't think negative trusts, flags will be removed. Whatsoever reasons are, and real owner did not scammed, hacker user hacked account to scam others. So, consequences for people whom got scammed is real. I don't think owner can do any sort of compensation for people whom lost money for hacker.
Official guide from theymos: Recovering hacked/lost accounts (the pinned thread in Meta board).
You can ask for help from Cryptios
Furthermore, before thinking of getting accounts back, you or others who have accounts hacked should act fastly like @kenzawak: Account "kenzawak" compromised again
Asking DT members to tag hacked accounts while waiting for account recovery, like that (from @kenzawak)
Quote
Account owner claims to have been hacked twice within a few weeks and both times there was a scam attempt by the alleged hacker(s). Account owner doesn't take responsibility for the damages. Avoid any deals with this user.
6236  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Be Careful !! Don't share your problem in Telegram on: August 02, 2019, 02:51:15 AM
Project owners or admins never PM anyone first.
It is not completely true. Sometimes developers will do it, when someone in their communities posting shit, or wrong information. Nevertheless I agree that most of project owners, developers neither do this nor go first. Sometimes, I posted incorrect information, the owners send me PMs ask for corrections. It's normal if they just ask you to correct what you posted.
The case will become more suspicious if they ask for your private keys, remote control on your computers, and more private things. Don't give any of those things to anyone, even accounts that likely projects ' owners/ developers (because in such cases, they most likely scammers).

6238  Other / Meta / Forum, sex, crypto. Are there chances to see growth of sex industry adds? on: August 02, 2019, 01:59:48 AM
Today, I see this one on Cointelegraph.com

Sex & Crypto| Cointelegraph Documentary
Quote
Censorship resistant, pseudo-anonymous, untraceable. These are the main characteristics that make cryptocurrency an enticing payment method for purchasing adult content. Pornsites, webcam platforms and online sex shops often struggle with traditional payment systems because of the high-risk industry in which these businesses operate. By leveraging the power of blockchain, a number of crypto startups have been emerging and are aiming to revolutionize the way people purchase and consume adult content.

I am just curious that sexual related things (signatures, ads) violate forum rules or not?
6239  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What to do to avoid phising sites on: August 02, 2019, 01:24:01 AM
The point is there is no phisers will build their phising sites to clone small, unfamous sites. They always target at famous sites, like the forum, Binance, Electrum and so on. I don't see issues to remember extremely important things in my life, such as my wife's phone number, my house address,  and it is the same for important sites in crypto. Just remember them (always narrow down your list of most important sites for your interests - less than dozen, maybe; then you will remember them). Always bookmark for cases you forget their addresses.
6240  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What to do to avoid phising sites on: August 01, 2019, 02:10:09 PM
Umm... a few months ago there was a huge problem: a vulnerability in Electrum allowed hackers show a custom message in Electrum, message that was not coming from Electrum developers, message that was showing a link and asking for upgrade. Whoever "upgraded" from there, got a fake Electrum that stole their funds.

I know that you meant something else, the entries from the help menu, but imho that's just a small step away and can lead to too much trust and .. sometimes problems. I think that remembering the address is much safer and not a big effort.
Exactly!
I know that time, when the forum has running text warned about that phising attacks, and theymos created a thread to warn about it, too.
Hang on minutes, I will give you theymos' thread on this.
This one:
Electrum vulnerability allows arbitrary messages, phishing
Anyway, you made a point, that deserves to add in OP. Thanks.
