The short version is: don't sell bitcoin for payments that can be reversed, at least not to people you don't know.
Even payment processors that claim to be irreversible are doing reversals - in some cases you just need to tell them that you've been scammed in other cases you need to actually file a police report. |

Good questions here.
Does anybody know of DMCA case on a forum avatar? I know it could happen, but I don't think that's a concern to most copyright owners.

but do you want to penalize all the other "legit" sellers? I don't think it is a good choice, why remove an entire section because "few" dishonest person are selling "illegal items" etc... ?
Yes, unless the moderators are willing to enforce very strict rules for sales |

i dont agree in removing the Digital Goods section, it will only cause a topic posted in the wrong place coz you cant avoid people selling their goods. maybe a solution of moderating the thread or banning people selling stolen keys/accounts will be better if it is possible
You can crack down on them and ban them. Do you guys want to be surrounded by people who might crack your accounts and sell them? |

If we combine both your statements, then all that would happen is the "spam" is going to move to other subforums, where its equally not going to be dealt with. That doesn't help us.
Unless they are getting banned - that should be easier than cleaning up the posts. |

Isn't the immediate solution to clean up the section and then reevaluate?
Maybe, but there's so much to be removed - I just don't think they're going to do that. Especially if closing the section will simply move the toxicity to another subforum.
It should be considered spam in other subforums. |

Most offers in Digital Goods are related to cracked user accounts and illegally obtained software keys.
Maybe 10% of all posts in Digital Goods are related to legitimate offers so it's not worth keeping this section.

Yeah but even if they used an online service, their coins would't be safe. If their computer is compromised, their coins are gone.
In many cases Coinbase restored BTC balances of compromised wallets. You don't get that if you manage the keys on your own. We need hardware wallets built into mobile phones. That's the way to go.
Maybe, but that's not available. The best wallets we have are devices like Trezor. |

I guess people are always suspicious of new users if they don't parrot "down with the man" and "use paper wallets or you're an idiot." I am not some guy who has been in bitcoin for years. I'm new, coinbase is simple to use, it was recommended to me by a friend I trust, and since they've raised a lot of money they seem safe.
Activate 2-Step Verification and put your money in the Coinbase Vault if you don't plan to spend it for a while. Learn how to keep your computer / mobile device secure if you're planning to move the coins to your own wallet. Now I see why these forums are so robust. You really roll out the welcome mat for new users and respect people's opinions.
Just use the Ignore button. Haters gonna hate. |

I thought it's already well-known that dealing with anything even just remotely related to PayPal is extremely dangerous. What do you mean by "BLACK"? I'm guessing: stolen or illegally acquired. |

Dude can't you see the reason for the government wanting to see the equipment. Is not paranoid, it's as plainly visible as the nose on your face.
Many people criticize politicians, but your posts are telling me that you're assuming that your government is always evil - completely ignoring the fact that all of them are humans just like you. That's what paranoia is: trust issues. Of course you don't believe me that you could need help, because you don't trust me either. Sorry for this off-topic discussion. |
