Here it the quote from Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ

When they say that scams are not moderated, that means account promoting scam won't be automatically banned, but that doesn't stop you from tagging that account, as shillers  are definitely untrustworthy, and might cause people loose money.
Good example is Coinsbit Announcement thread. Almost all shill accounts (probably hundreds of them) active in that thread are tagged.

As i said before, tagging those accounts often seems pointless, as they just use batch of new accounts, or they simply ignore the tag and continue with business as usual, so people don't bother that much with tagging. I personally just report their posts to moderators, and that's about it.

Situation has changed a bit in that race for that 8th spot in the Western Conference since i wrote that small overview of the candidates. Grizzlies had their 3rd win a row last night, Blazers are on the 2 wins in a ow, and 2 games behind Grizzlies, while i jinxed Pelicans, they had 3rd loss in a row last night, against Mavericks in the OT and situation doesn't look great at the moment as they are 5 games behind Grizzlies now. It won't be an easy thing to do, to reach them with only 21 game left.
Grizzlies will have some tough games at the end of regular season, maybe that could be their chance to catch them..




Warriors are currently 17 games behind Grizzlies who are at at the 8th spot, while they only have 20 games left, so no way in hell they can catch that. Even Warriors from 2015/2016 would have issues with that, and on top of that, Grizzlies and other teams like Blazers, Spurs and Pelicans would have to loose huge majority of games.
I guess Curry will play just casually until end of the season, he won't force himself and risk another injury

Nothing much we can do really, except tag the accounts, and/or report posts to the moderators. [CLUB] The SpamBusters! Busting rule-breakers constantly is also a good place to report threads/users that are doing similar kind of stuff. More people  are aware of them, more will report their posts.


As you can see they keep spamming continuously for months. They would have way more pages if bunch of those posts weren't deleted already.


I honestly doubt that many fall for this kind of deception, even before that bumping changes were introduced. But of course, that doesn't mean they shouldn't be stopped.
All those projects are just wasting their money on this, who knows what those that sell such services tell them when to get hired.

It looks like never ending story, that's true. Worst thing is, not even tagging OP of those threads wouldn't make them stop most likely. Maybe only nuking threads that are obviously use shilling servicesm but from what i noticed, that's not standard practice in these cases.


From my experience, reporting posts from those threads mentioned in the first post are mostly safe bet, so I guess  moderators know that all those conversations  are fake. As seen in the screenshot below, i only have 1 bad lately even though post is deleted, probably because double report, i heard that can result in report being marked as bad.

Nothing to observe here really, it has been going on for months. All those accounts are most likely part of the known shilling group, Vitor Services.
I've tagged some accounts few months ago that were active on AMZ Coin Ann thread, among others, but what they do is simply use new accounts when you tag them. Rinse and repeat. Because of that reason I've stopped tagging them lately, and instead I keep reporting the posts on those threads you mentioned for some time.

Even if number is real, they can still fake all that info that they gave to Companies House since they don't check whether that info is true or not. All this scam miss is certificate of incorporation. I still don't know why UK government doesn't do anything about it, as it is a common scam tool but many people don't know about that. Some scammers made fake Telegram company, with real Telegram owner name, and press even fell for it, they thought Telegram really  moved to UK. News about it was all over the place.


Yep, I've seen exactly the  same template before and i guess it's working since they keep using it. They invested barely any effort in it, and unfortunately some people will probably give them money. Rinse and repeat.


It's just a quick scam attempt, this site won't be live for long, but that won't discourage or stop them. They will be back with yet another domain and same tactic.

What happened: Tradekucoin is a fake exchange, using Kucoin name in order to attract  unsuspected victims, that might confuse it with the real Kucoin exchange.

They claim on the webiste that they are located in London, more specifically at 32-33 Cartwright Gardens, London, UK, WC1H 9EH. But if you check that address and companies there, you will find nothing about "CRYPTO LTD company" that is supposedly behind this.
https://suite.endole.co.uk/explorer/postcode/wc1h-9eh




Another lie-according to their roadmap, exchange is live for years. But if you check when domain was registered, you know that it can't be true.

I am sorry to hear that you wasted your time and money on this project. As you can see from the evidence in this thread, it is an obvious scam project with very little effort invested, and for that reason creator of the thread was tagged, and flagged.
I suggest that you check project name on the bitcointalk forum before investing in anything suspicious, as this forum has very active scam busting group, and good amount of scams that appear on this forum get busted.

To me this just looks like a mistake, as bounty managers probably have some template that they use, and in this case @adriaparcerisas forgot to change some info, as he started both bounty campaigns on the same day, with an hour or two difference.
I saw similar mistakes with Ann threads too, where someone copies someone else's ann and then forgot to change links.

@OP
I suggest that you contact the creator of those bounty threads and let him know about this issue.

I couldn't remember exactly who gave me first merit without checking (it was user bkbirge but i remember it was in the thread about moon landing, and some ridiculous people claiming it was all fake. I must admit that it felt very good, getting the first merit despite being just an ordinary post, but most importantly  it was certainly and incentive and proof that getting merit is not an impossible mission and set me onto the next goal, 10 merits.
Next  few merits were also  in the Politics&Society board that i was visiting a lot at the beginning of my bitcointalk adventure, but lately I stopped spending any time there writing, mostly just lurking.

Eto ja  

Dvije prijave i ovaj put, ako nije problem.

Prvo jedan scam projekt sa kopiranim whitepaperom, ODE Money. Nakon sto su uhvaceni, brzo su odustali od aktivnosti na forumu

2.Svi smo culi za KICK tokene i njihovu glupu airdrop marketinsku kampanju, pa nije cudo da su scammeri uskocili sa fake KICK stranicama i walletima. Tu sam naveo par primjera fake stranica. Sreca u nesreci da je KICK cijena u slobodnom padu, pa se nadam da ce ta kampanja biti totalni fijasko.

I wouldn't call this a bad loss, and even despite Davis missing it's hard to say that Pelicans were favorites to win against probably main title contender. They fought well, and  had 6 points lead in the 4th quarter, but LeBron was so great last night that even Zion with his all time high 35 points couldn't help Pelicans. Ingram and Melli shooting for three was atrocious, those two had 2-16 combined. Next game is against Minnesota on Wednesday, that one is a must win.

To se nazalost ne vidi na ovom meritu dashboardu kojeg ja koristim za mjesecna izvjesca, a ne znam da li netko drugi na forum ima neki alat sa kojim to sve prati. Uvijek postoji opcija rucnog brojanja, ionako nas nema previse, mozda tridesetak aktivnih, dalo bi se brzo to odraditi.


Kad se malo usporede brojevi nekad i sada, glavni razlog zasto mi stojimo tako dobro je da nismo imali tako veliki pad u usporedbi sa nekim ostali velikim lokalni boardovima, kao recimo talijanski ili spanjolski. Nas lokalni board je na vrhuncu imao cca 2k postova (1/2018) dok su spanjolski i talijanski bili na preko 6k. Samim time, kad krene FOMO mi cemo vjerojatno imati manji rast odstalih, ali svejedno, to ne umanjuje trenutne brojke su i dalje super te je bitno je da lokalni board preziivio ovaj bear market.
A sto se tice merita, tesko da tu bude nekog veceg napretka bez jos jednog merit sourca koji ce dna lokalnom boardu. A i ovh 200 je vec super brojka.


Ma jaci su oni ipak dosta od nas, cca 3x aktivniji po broju postova, a i skroz mi je razumljivo da oni imaju admina jer su ipak jako veliko trziste. Naravno bilo bi fino da i mi dobijemo svog admina, ipak bi se board bolje razvijao u tom slucaju, i zato je admin bitan.


Ma treba samo ignore i to je to. Nek se zajebava na engleskom dijelu ako mu se da, treba ga ovdje izignorirati.

I just hope that this is smart move, and that  he will take it slowly and not come back too early. I honestly thought that he will miss entire season as GSW can't do anything anymore. And you said it right, careful with bets against GSW if he comes back  


Nunn is certainly  having a very good rookie season and will get some votes, but Ja Morant and Zion are so good that his chances are really slim, despite him being among 3rd in the latest NBA Rookie Ladder. So i don't really see a way for him to get this award, but even getting in NBA All-Rookie First Team shoould be a nice achievement  for him, and that is very probable to happen.


Philadelphia is playing tonight first of 4 games away , starting in LA against Clippers, and i must say that they are looking good so far, despite being without both Simmons and Embiid. Currently they lead 87-82 in Q3. Shake Milton is having a crazy game tonight, already scored 29 , while shooting 5/6 for three, and Harris not playing bad either. Bad thing about those 4 games stretch  is that Philadelphia is bad away, but good thing is that they are very unlikely to finish below 6th spot. And being 5th or 6th won't make much difference in the playoff.

Since you came to this thread, I have a few questions for you that I hope you will answer:

1. If Folgory and Liberty159 are completely legit, why are you using bunch of newbie accounts to shill those 2 announcement threads, faking interest and pretending to be interested? Since the creation of those 2 threads 8 days ago,  I reported more than 70 shilling posts that were deleted by moderators. You were doing the same thing in your previous announcement thread that you abandoned, and accounts doing that were tagged. Haven't you learned anything from before?

2. How can you promise 72% passive yearly income? What do you know that other top exchanges like Binance don't know, since they offer significantly lower interest? Your  promised profit is comparable  only to ponzi schemes.

3. You had Liberty159 IEO going on, while that project had no whitepaper, team, working product, social media channels, basically nothing.  Only thing that was there promise of  100% profit, and yet you are surprised that people looked at it as a scam?

Thanks for the notice, it indeed looks like he made the thread few minutes before me. Before making the thread I checked if anyone already reported those scammers, and there was nothing. But it's a good thing to have such an active scambuster team, where  bad scam attempts like this one can't go unoticed for long.

Gonna lock this thread now, no point having two of them active at the same time.

Even more convenient than that is Telegram Bot made by @GreatArkansas. It shows  other useful stuff, beside merit earned in last 120 days, like trust/distrust lists. Even if you don't have Telegram, it's worth to get it just for that.

All Zion can do for now is play as best as he can, and lead his team to playoff, ROTY decision is out of his hands. As i said before, if we base his chances according to previous years, they are not very good, but surprises are  always possible.

In 2016/2017 Embiid played 31 game, averaging 20.2 points and 7.8 rebounds. On the other hand, winner was Brogdon, who had 10.2 points and  4.2 assists. ROTY winner with least games so far was Patrick Ewing, back in 1986, with 50 games played in regular season. Carter and Irving won with 50/51, but that was lockout season. So obviously, this is an important part when deciding the winner.

This year, Zion can play at maximum 37 games of the regular season. While his stats are great, main contender so far, Ja Morant, is pretty good too, averaging 17.5 points and 6.9 assists for Grizzlies. Another interesting thing about those two players is that their teams will fight against each other for that 8th spot, and maybe that could be a factor in the end. Whoever gets his team in the playoff (and keep playing at current of better level), gets ROTY. I think that would be fair.

There have been quite a few WaykiChain(WICC) announcement threads lately made by various accounts (some of them are already deleted), announcing Bittrex listing, and usually accompanied by those fake conversations being made by bumping services, like in the case below. And this time, we have plagiarism as well.
