should I expect an alt accusation in Reputation some time soon?

Hey, do you happen to have any ad impression stats like the ones available for ads on the forum? Might be interested!

Shdvb, I would like this issue to be resolved. I am considering changing my feedback to neutral, however, I still don't understand why you insist that your password has not changed. It clearly has, and I don't think it is something you would forget. You can check yourself by visiting https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php and using "ctrl+f" to find your own username. You will see the entry below: March 01, 2018, 04:29:37 AM - shdvb-assistant - password changed

I see some applicants are a full member, is it okay to apply when they only have low ranks just like me?
Asking because maybe i can apply too for my local board in the future. Please give me an insight about this.
Full members can definitely be chosen as merit sources. I know paxmao's application was accepted, and he's just a full member like you. As long as the rest of your application is strong, it shouldn't be an issue. |

I too have noticed my post count has randomly dropped a few times over the past week. A bit strange, but I assume it has just been from threads that have been deleted. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

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. 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. SMH. I'll take the points out of order for aesthetic sense. 6: Self-moderated & locked threads are the first and second lines of combat against post count bumping, and varying degrees of BS/trolling even if no advertising is currently in place or being built up to. They don't curate trust pages where feedback & reviews belong at the bare minimum. 1: I've noticed "self-escrowing" & escrows not keeping up/being able to keep up with their deals. I've noticed an escrow telling the victim terms for release, then when met, going back on them & not releasing, leaving it up to the perpetrator to authorize release.
I can't remember ever using a bitcoin escrow (and can't find it in my oldest ratings), not even when I was a noob, and I think I had enough foresight of how escrow could go bad back then, that my opposition to escrow has been consistent. I've missed out on deals recently because people still want me to go through an escrow or send first (if not use a fucking exchange that "loses" deposits, balances, withdrawals) in spite of all my ratings, length of ratings, and all my cryptographic links to those ratings (including enough meatspace info to get me murdered), when they have none or almost none.
Receiving positive trust ratings only seems to be an asset to those who don't/can't keep their word.
I hate debt.
If "I" ever ask for/offer a loan, assume my account is compromised. If "I" ever accept or offer escrow services, assume my account is compromised. If "I" ever recommend or say one positive word about an exchange, assume my account is compromised. If "I" ever get into campaign managing, assume my account is compromised.
This thread is intended to provide advice for newer users. Any escrow linked above is far more trustworthy than your average forum user. Along a similar line, your average self moderated thread should be avoided. Yes, there are acceptions to this rule (ie. yourself); however, take a look at who else makes use of self-moderates threads. They are generally not to be trusted. |

* Possess/Manufacture/Sell Dangerous Weapon
Does he own a license to do so ? For instance,Gun Manufacturers do oblige with all the legal procedures to get a license.However,selling them illegally is definitely committing a felony. * Take Vehicle Without Owner Consent
Isn't that considered as a robbery ? Every judicial system that I'm aware of has serious charges (and jail time) for robbery. Being arrested and being convicted are not the same thing. Note this from the OP: I know its only arrest and not prison time, but as they say you cant make an omelet without cracking a few eggs.
TMAN is asking if merely having been suspected of committing a crime, regardless of whether the individual was actually found guilty, makes them untrustworthy. |

Fortunejack has a 523 sat faucet which is pretty decent. Yolodice also has a progressive faucet that can be claimed 10 times per day without delay, although it is highly dependent on the amount you have wagered in the past.

Haha that was fast, this is exactly what I was thinking of. I wonder if we'll see a stabilization over time as more source merit comes into the system. Right now it looks as if the initial supply of sMerit is still drying up, more merit was sent in the first week than the entire time month following that week. |

Perhaps this isn't the right thread for this, but what is the point of using a token as collateral for the loan when the token is equally as fungible as ETH? Why not just sell the token and avoid the loan altogether? The ability to borrow/lend is only useful in financial markets because banks can take advantage of the fractional reserve system to lend out a multiplier of their deposits, which promotes growth. Since there is no such multiplier in crypto lending, I don't really understand the point of it when it is collateralized in this way.

I'd think very little of it if they were never convicted for those crimes. Many people equate being arrested with guilt, so I can understand why they would avoid the question entirely.

Cool stats! Since you've already managed to sort by day of the week, would it be possible to see how merit distribution has changed over time (more or less being sent out now than at the beginning).

This should be pinned!
Wish i had some merits to give you
Question,
How do you know which application is fulfilled-completed? (regardless if it's approved or not)
I don't know which ones are processed, that part is updated by theymos whenever he gets around to it. |

I can't speak for why he only has two negative ratings, since I was inactive when that event happened, but there is some justification for keeping him in DT. Being in DT is just as much about leaving good ratings as it is about being trustworthy oneself. Mexxer has tagged quite a few people that deserve it, so his historical ratings are still add value. On the whole he is also pretty inactive; he is not actively trying to trade, nor has he left any questionable feedback ratings since he scammed. I'd argue it's a situation similar to xetsr who also scammed and is inactive, yet is still in DT because he has left a lot of good feedback. Ideally though, these two users should be removed and have their ratings re-done by someone else in DT who is still considered trustworthy. It would just be quite a lengthy process, so no one has done it as of yet. |

In case somebody already loged into the fake primedice
IF YOU HAD SAME PASSWORD ANYWHERE ELSE AS ON PRIMEDICE, CHANGE THAT PASSWORD ASAP!
I was able to go to the site, before you warned me hacked it turns out? The phishing site is just a basic PHP script there's not much at work here. action:loginverify
username:test
password:testtest https://blockchain.info/address/1pFh3yqXKw9K45WHx5pvmt4bGnu4st8afSo far 0 BTC has been taken. We are still taking this seriously though, if any funds over 1 BTC are lost as a result of this, we will be offering a bounty of up to 100 BTC for the arrest of the individual responsible. In the meantime I'd appreciate it if everyone could report it to https://www.cloudflare.com/abuse/Can confirm I am seeing the same deposit address on my end. With any luck, the only way these guys will be able to make any money off this is by giving you information about themselves for that bounty. You are handling this very professionally, hopefully no one falls victim to this. |

Recent activity is suspicious, I have tagged him as well for the time being.
From what you can tell my account got hacked? I confrim with everything IT IS NOT HACKED. PLZ REMOVE THE RED NEGATIVE Your password was recently changed and there is the strange post linked in the OP. Why are you being so hostile? It is in your best interest for your account to be tagged if it was compromised, since you would be financially liable for any funds that were scammed using your identity. It should be very easy for you to prove ownership, just sign a publicly posted BTC address you have previously used. Perhaps 18bfzHvpaSGH1dvX3Fy3oK7mmcPcCRuYMb or 197hPmzc5nm3hJMUBJtzgmSzmL6YX3Vk9Y from this thread. |
