I'm trying to find a full video of that interview to know what's the discussion that leads Gobert to touch all those mics.
I've been trying to find the same thing, but so far all videos I found start at the moment he is touching the mics and stuff. I think I found that interview from where that short clip is taken, but unfortunately video doesn't show that, like he was making that "joke" at the end, when interview was over.
Here is the link
https://www.nba.com/jazz/video/search/?ls=channav&query=Rudy%20Gobert

He starts  talking  about Corona virus around 5:50 mark, and weird part is that it looked like he is taking things seriously, and then he did that stunt at the end. Really irresponsible behavior, what else to say..

Briefly going through their website  I  see several red flags here, and if I am you, I would really think before sending them more funds.

1. They are asking you to deposit external funds before withdrawing what you have. This is common practice of many scam exchanges. Huge red flag
2. They claim to be founded in 2017, while this data gives different info. According to this they are founded few months ago. So their claim about having 500,000 customers is  pure bs as well. Another  huge red flag.

On their website, this address is mentioned as contact

I can't easily list the deleted posts (my setup isn't designed for that), but I do have the 768 unedited posts. The topic currently has 543 posts, so 29% has been deleted.This could be legitimate actions like bumps.
Thanks LoyceV, this info helps!  So basic math gives us 225 deleted posts so far, somehow i thought that number is even higher. But they are not deleted bumps of something like that, as according to my report history, in the last 30 days i  had approximately 200  successfully reported  MTCore posts. And they keep making new ones as we speak.
One more question; this data you shared is from today, or update was made few days ago?


There are two more connected threads, using the same bumping service:
DEXIVE - advanced and social decentralized digital exchange
✅🚀🚀 [ANN]The AMZ Coin ICO goal is to support several projects ✅🚀🚀
I reported some DEXIVE spam and now I saw they cross post in the MT Core thread. so...
Yeah it's all part of the same service, I also keep reporting DEXIVE  and AMZ Coin posts, in the last month there must be at least few hundred of them deleted in those 2 threads.

Hi @LoyceV, can you please share your list for 💎🍀👫 [ANN] MTCore - WELCOME TO THE DEMOCRATIC CRYPTOCURRENCY 💎🍀👫
Also, if you can share  stats about deleted posts in that thread, I think I saw you sharing that before.

I've been looking at that thread for some time, reporting posts (I am sure others reported too) from time to time, and it seems to me that thread had quite a big amount of posts deleted so far, since they are shilling for months, and at the moment they have only 27 pages.
Based on the evidence i provided, i think that they are scam, so I would like help from others to try reduce  their shilling as much as possible.

Njima bi takodjer dobro doslo tih 10 merita, mozda cak  i vise nego nekom Jr Member ili Newbie clanu, pogotovo jer imamo tu par aktivnih Member clanova. Bilo bi zanimljivije ako bude vece konkurencije a  sigurno i mi ostali budemo uletili sa kojim meritom.

As i mentioned, person behind this was involved in USI Tech, scam that was going on between 2017-2018, and managed to scam people for millions USD. Here are few articles about USI Tech

Bidrace - MTCore connection

Bidrace is now dead ponzi, with domain sold some time ago, but unfortunately that wasn't the end of them. Their method and company  is continued with  MTCore.

These are  Bidrace "package" that were selling to naive investors

Source

You can read more about BidRace in the article below

And these are  MTCore "packages". To enure constant influx of new investors in order to keep this ponzi alive, according to their webiste The Affiliate committee receives a 40% commission on the software sale when someone they referred buys software.



On the MTCore website, under Privacy tab, some info is mentioned about the company behind it. What a surprise, it is Bidrace.




According to info from their Website, Bidrace is registered in Spain. Now let's  if there is Bidrace  company  registered in Spain, and who is behind it

http://www.infocif.es/ficha-empresa/bidrace-tech-sa

As you can see, the name I marked red is the same one that was involved in USI Tech scam. Address checks out as well, both on the website and register same one is mentioned, Gran Via Avenue 84 1şD, 36230 Vigo.



Here is MTCore team. You can see who is at the top of the pyramide.




Last but not the least, their Ann thread is full of newbie shilling this scam, and it is going on for months now. Posts are being reported and deleted, but they keep churning out new ones. At least few hundred posts have been deleted by now.

Most likely fake Ann with malware. All standard red flags are there:
  • User joined github half an hour ago
  • Bitcointalk account used was inactive since September 2018 and this was first post after long break. Probably hacked.
  • Self-moderated thread in order to delete all warning messages

6594  Other / Meta / Re: [Request] Theymos we need moderator again in Croatian local board on: March 10, 2020, 11:03:44 AM
Thanks @dkbit98 for starting this!

Considering the fact that our local board is quite active,  and one of the few ones without moderator, we could certainly use one. I am certain that any of the nominees would do the job properly so choosing would be an easy job, now we just have to get one.


All of the candidates need to be active, high ranked and with passion to make some changes and improvements.
Why are you saying that? Why candidates need to be active and high ranked please?  Huh
It makes sense to be higher ranked one, as it implies being more experienced and knowledgeable regarding ins&outs of the forum, and specific issues. It doesn't necessarily have to be Legendary account created at the early days of forum or something like that to do the job properly, but some experience is needed, imho.

Regarding activity, I think that should be one of the main factors when deciding about moderator. What's the point of having local moderator that will log in every once in a while, delete few posts, move some topics  and then go offline again without interacting with other members of the board?
Contrary to the popular belief, forum moderator is more than some kind of forum police that will just enforce rules and that's about it (or at least it shouldn't be). Beside doing standard "police" job, good moderator will encourage discussion and  point them to certain direction when/if needed, share news&updates, help members (especially new ones) and increase  overall activity of the board through various initiatives.

I've been active on various forums for almost 20 years, and trust me, good moderator can make a huge difference. Especially now when forums in general ain't as popular as they used to be, unfortunately.

Pokrenuo sam temu na meti sa kratkom analizom aktivnosti lokalnih boardova, koju planiram redovno updejtat, a  bazirana je  na analizi za nasu lokalni dio, sa nekim dodacima.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5231446.0
6596  Other / Meta / Re: Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity on: March 10, 2020, 09:18:53 AM
Just a few additional quick comments:

a)   The data in the OP is relative to one month only. It gives us a fair bird’s eye view of merit/post in the different local boards, and the number of merits and posts within those sections, but it is subject to noise.

As is pointed out on this thread, some months have strange variations in the number of posts, be it due to deletions, threads being moved, re-indexing process, or me tabulating some figure wrongly. For example, the Spanish local board has -327 posts in the Hardware and Mining childboard. Regardless of the reason (I’ve checked that it is not a tabulation error), the merit/post is wildly affected there by this fact. In general, it is better to have various month’s readings to avoid the noise.
First, thanks for your inputs, they are always appreciated!

I wanted to focus mainly on the current situation in local boards, without going too much in the past, but I will certainly add few more stuff for the next monthly overview, like maybe adding some average merit/post ratio in the period of let's say 3 or 6 months, just to average things and give a bit clearer picture. But as previously mentioned, these ratios can very a lot due various reasons, and they shouldn't be taken too seriously.


Note: The data for posts and merits in the OP can be aligned, by filtering the dates on the tabs where the merit numbers are derived from. For example, the following (data already filtered) would be the tab I would use to derive the data for the period Jan 28..Feb 28: https://public.tableau.com/shared/ZZDTZZZ5F?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_link
Thanks for this suggestion, it definitely makes more sense, so i updated both Merit and Merit/Post ratio charts according to that data.
6597  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: Mjesečna Analiza za Hrvatsku Lokalnu Zajednicu (Bitcointalk Croatian) on: March 09, 2020, 05:36:59 PM
Gledano da imamo popriličan broj postova, jasno je je jedini način da to bude bolje ako bude još neki merit source aktivniji.
Ja nemam toliko sMerita i ne čuvam ih za 'crne dane' Smiley
Da, prilicno smo aktivan board, a nasi merit sourcevi nemaju neke prevelike mjesecne iznose sa kojim barataju, tako da smo u tome ograniceni. Neki veci rast u tom pogledu je moguc jedino ako se jos netko prijavi za merit source, pa eventualno theymos odobri.


Jako mi je cudno da su rusi iza nas. Njih u cryptu zbilja ima. Jedino ako su veci djiberi od nas pa nedaju merit Cheesy
Ma kod Rusa je kaos, tamo ima gomila shitpostera, bounty huntera, scammera i takve ekipe koja stanca postove kao na traci. Koliko sam skuzio oni imaju board za hyip pizdarije i takve slicne mutne sheme. Tako da u biti nije cudo da su nisko po tom prosjeku. A jos je sada situacija i dobra, gledao sam malo  statse i oni su na vrhuncu onog hajpa krajem 2017 i pocetkom 2018  znali imati i po 300k postova mjesecno, sto su nenormalne brojke. Kod nas je ipak situacija puno umjerenija u svakom pogledu.

Uostalom, tu merit/post ratio listu i ne treba ozbiljno shvacati jer se situacija dosta mijenja iz mjeseca u mjesec, to sam cisto napravio kao neki dodatak, kad sam vec napravio one dvije.

Pokrenuo sam temu u meti  o aktivnosti na lokalnim boardovima, pa sam tom prigodom dodao jos jedan chart, da prikaze merit/post ratio u pojedinim boardovima. Pa evo da ga sheram i ovdje, za one koji mozda ne zalaze tamo a zanima ih kakvi smo u usporedbi sa ostalima.
Kao sto sam spominjao u prijasnjim analizama, primjetio sam da smo pri  samom  dnu po tom omjeru tako da ovaj 'rezultat' i nije iznenadjenje, al eto ima i par gorih od nas  Grin.

6599  Other / Meta / Re: Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity on: March 09, 2020, 02:11:08 PM
Also, it looks like this month of February have been the greatest sMerit distribution so far in Pilipinas Section.
Good to hear that, it was one of the best months for our local board as well (3rd best since introduction) merit wise. But it is no surprise, since theymos increased smerit allocation of active merit sources few months ago.


Dutch and Arabic are obviously outliers because their low number of posts, but it's difficult to draw conclusions about the other sections. Are the Russian and French sections significantly under-merited, for example, or is it that the Spanish and Indian sections are over-merited?
Yeah, it is hard to draw any conclusions about that without being active in those boards. Deleted posts are also a factor, for example Spanish board had more than 400 posts removed in the mentioned period, therefore affecting merit/post ratio significantly. In January they made 871 posts and shared 292 merits, making it 0.34 merit/post ratio, more than 50% less compared to February. These numbers vary a lot from month to month from what i could notice, that's why I mentioned it shouldn't be taken too seriously.


It would much easier to read the graphs if each section retained the same color between graphs.
I agree, and I realized that after i made charts. Simple chart tool i used didn't have that option. I plan to sort that out in the next monthly overview.

The reason behind I posted another warning is changing project name without changing scammer intensions.
They don't actully care about any warnings, but using another account, which has no red trust yet, may be considered another try to fool investors.
Better be carefull and prevent any attempts of cheating once again.
Yeah I know, i don't disagree with you mate Wink

It is always better to be more vigilant in these kinds of obvious scam attempts.
