You have the rank of Newbie and the only message about ChangeNOW.
This can be said about you too. Do they pay you to shill for them? They have red trust already. Of course an unknown exchange can't just create tokens out of thin air and expect it to have $40 million market cap! Tokens are only created to earn the creator money. I love the irony of an exchange that needs other exchanges to trade their own token. |

What is Bitcoin Core? That's one currency they are selling. Is Bitcoin Core just Bitcoin?
This is exactly why you shouldn't use that site, they try to make a new name for Bitcoin, and try to trick/scam people into thinking they buy Bitcoin when they sell and promote their own Forkcoin Bitcoin Cash. This had led to many new users sending their coins on the wrong chain, and losing access To buy Bitcoin, user a reputable exchange. |

What you're suggesting will mainly benefit bounty spammers. Someone who can't set his avatar on his own should probably not be posting at all. I think all avatars are archived somewhere anyway for every user (I might be wrong though). A lot of users seem to have images stored on ip.bitcointalk.org that they bring up and that must've come from their avatar as I can see no way to upload images directly to this forum (unless I'm missing something).
You're missing something: bitcointalk acts as a proxy for all images. This was implemented after a user created a "tracking pixel". |

Economy / Economics / Re: 44 % of startups/ICO still active 120 days following the end of their fundraise
|

Is it really surprising though? I reckon that it's completely expected.
These projects are essentially made for the sole purpose of raising money. Once they've done that, most of the ICOs will just end their development or just stall with no progress being made.
The 44% surprised me big time, I would have expected no more than 10% to be left. I can only assume they keep the project open for more money grabbing, either in that project or in the next ICO they started. What I'm more curious about is how many of those 3500 ICOs and $12 billion produced anything real and worthwhile. If be surprised if it's even 10 projects. |

I honestly don't see any connection between nikjain422/predito422 and the other supposed alts.
Me neither! Collecting evidence is terrible on a phone, but I'll give it a shot. Note: can't comment on the supposed merit farming between the two 422 accounts... It doesn't show on the 120days merit report and no one archived it
Several people archive the merit history, see http://loycevsbasement.privatedns.org/Merit/history/1277719.html for example. It confirms sending 1 merit to his alt. I wouldn't call this farming, it's just 1 merit. That means the second part of this statement isn't true: yahoo62278 identifies nikjain422 and preditor422 as being alts... both give each-other merits here and hereAbusing the same signature campaign isn't contested here, so I assume that part is true. |

Isn't this just a way to advertise with fake prices? If they'd include tips in their price, and pay the salary of their employees just like any other company does, the prices would be 20% higher. That's more transparent, but I guess they like fooling their customers.

I am currently speaking with the team, users will be paid be old campaign before i'll take over and of course i will be holding funds when/if i take over
I see users are happy yahoo62278 is most likely going to take over as the icoforum manager I kinda expect many of them to be kicked out because of their post quality. A high paying campaign can do much better. |

Voor de merit gevers hier in dit topic. Waar let je op bij het geven van merit, quality posts is zo'n ruim begrijp. Heb je zelf zaken die je belangrijk vind bij het geven van merit? Of geef je het meteen willekeurig weer door als je merit hebt gekregen van een ander? Ben erg benieuwd. Heb zelf geen idee nog hoe ik dat zou doen namelijk, heb nog gern meri namelijk. Maar wellicht dat jullie antwoorden mij en anderen weer kan helpen bij het zelf krijgen van merit.
Dat scheelt per persoon, kijk anders even bij de meest recente Merit transacties: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=recent |

Zijn er merit sources in het Dutch forum?
Mod Mitchell denk ik. En ikzelf, maar ik kom bijna nooit verder dan het Engelstalige deel van het forum. Sources zijn niet openbaar vanwege het risico op Merit begging, maar dat valt me alles mee. Sommige sources geven daar red trust voor, dat helpt  |

Related to the password manager, I was wondering if anyone is using physical security keys? Google started requiring employees to use physical security keys and neutralized phishing. KeePass has portable version so LoyceV are you using it by installing it in e.g. USB drive? No, I don't use physical keys. |

What you're suggesting is basically the trust system duplicated for post quality.
I think it's better to get rid of users with only crappy posts. Ban them instead of turning them red.
The merit system takes care of the good posters, and allows them to stand out.

Economy / Reputation / Re: Peejet Nagesh021 vs PEEMAN ( TMAN )
|
on: August 18, 2018, 08:32:43 AM

The difference between an experienced potty-mouth like TMAN and an aspiring one like Nagesh021 is that that the latter has no chance of coming up with a proper insult due to lack of context and knowledge about the opponent so he/she is just projecting his/her own insecurities into the debate.
Kind makes me feel a bit sorry for Nagesh021 now that I've said it. I mean how poor and desperate do you have to be to do those stupid bounties and to think that "I'll buy your town" means anything. Why would anyone even want to own a town? Perhaps Nagesh021 lives in someone's private town and doesn't know any better.
Spot on! I also think "princess" is a much stronger insult than "asshole". The latter shows desperation. |
