I didn't mean any technical changes. I randomly read some threads and I get exactly the same vibe.

It's like when you come back home after being overseas for a year and it's still home; Even if they fixed that leaky tap in the bathroom.

I've not been active on this forum for long. But I got a notification that I had a private message so I checked it out:

Few years ago you gave me a wrong feedback "untrust" saying that i'm an altcoin which is false. Now i gave you one negative feedback too saying that you are a scammer.

Delete your sh*t.

I checked the feedback I left. Yes, I called you out for being an alt account years ago. And that's exactly what my feedback means. I (as an individual) was convinced that the person that controlled your account had multiple accounts.

Now I'd be open to reasonable arguments but:

1) Your message to me is rude
2) You're abusing the trust system by leaving false feedback
3) You're accusing me of being a scammer

So I'm disinclined to oblige your request.

Have a nice weekend.

At the moment there are 3 official Dcorp channels:

Twitter: https://twitter.com/DcorpVC

While some people try to keep this post up to date it's not one of Dcorps news channels. If you want to connect with Dcorp directly the officials channels are your best bet.
They should have someone to take care of this thread too.

It would be nice, yeah. However it takes time to do that (well) and it's quite obvious that there are more important things to handle right now with the new tokens. Focusing on only a few communication channels makes things far easier to manage.

Can someone ask them on telegram to change the topic in here?

"DCORP Crowdsale - ICO Ends Today" looks very unprofessional.
Yeah, they should do that.

I asked them on reddit.

Topic updated; Thanks for the tip!

How DCorp is Solving Cryptocurrencies Compliance Issues with the SEC.

In the space of blockchain, and with an increasing number of startups beginning to offer their own ERC20 token or alt coin; one of the biggest setbacks is naturally going to be local government regulations, put in place against the sale and trading of securities to some specific countries citizens.

Many cryptocurrency tokens are undisputedly being classified by default as a security and this has been preventative in allowing a substantial sized investor base from taking part and contributing in the healthy growth these corporations and their contribution to the betterment of the decentralized economy.

In June of 2017, Dcorp had obtained support from 4,657 individual investors in their ICO, for their Venture Capitalism Platform that is truly democratized, and their Seed Project – A decentralized derivatives exchange, allowing for the tradability of Cryptocurrency Futures, Swaps, Options, and Warrants.

Dcorp, known for being completely decentralized in nature, has been avidly developing their VC Forum and Platform, in which every DRP holder has a vote in projects that Dcorp would fund. (ie. The derivatives exchange). Profits from these projects would be paid back to Dcorp, and the DRP holders are able to initiate a slew of governance proposals, one specifically being the issuance of profit sharing to all DRP holders. This alone is justification to consider DRP a security.

After the completion of the DCorp Crowdsale, the SEC had officially issued their ruling on what would or would not be classified as a security, and would require registration with them, which is known to be a very lengthy and possibly expensive process. Dcorp was now facing an issue, as there was seemingly no accurate way to determine how many of their DRP holders were citizens in the United States, or in any other jurisdiction where there are similar regulations in place. To register with the SEC and obtain full compliance a few weeks before release seemed to be an impossibility at this stage.

Dcorp’s own Frank Bonnet, alongside Marketing Manager Mike Balagna, have been collaborating and developing plans to execute a solution that accurately illustrates how Dcorp is pioneering this space. After receiving legal opinion from American based firms and approval from Dcorp’s lawyers, Maarten Jansen and Ruud de Kleijn, the Dcorp team team is putting standards into place that will set the benchmark and foundations for future of growth in the decentralized economy.


Introducing Dcorps Two Tokens


DRPS as indicated by its ‘S’ designation, will maintain the primary security functions of the DRP token as outlined within the Dcorp whitepages. DRPS will continue to provide ETH dividends to its holder, a 1-to-1 voting ratio through the exchange method of 1 DRPS for every 1 DRP, and provide discounts to any future initial coin offering that is introduced through Dcorp’s VC platform.


DRPU as indicated by its ‘U’ designation will become Dcorp’s utility token for those who are under strict compliance within their country of residence and will not pay ETH dividends. Instead, DRPU will naturally - through the exchange method of 2 DRPU for every 1 DRP - provide twice the voting power of that afforded by DRPS, and substantially higher discounts for any future initial coin offering that is introduced through Dcorp’s VC platform.

This strategy solves two major issues that DCORP and all DRP holders are facing:
⦁   It allows investors that are currently considered out of compliance to gain compliance in their respective jurisdiction.
⦁   It allows all exchanges to list safely list a version of DRP that is in compliance with the jurisdiction that they adhere to.

DRP will no longer be utilized as the main token that represents Dcorp and therefore not be considered a security anymore. All investors in Dcorp, or DRP holders will have two options available to them based on a token changer that will be immediately launched after the unlocking of the (old) DRP token.

In exchange for the currently issued DRP tokens, which are immutably locked as per the smart contract and until the release of the platform, Token holders will be prompted to perform a transaction to exchange their DRP to one of two newly created tokens, through the token changer which will be hosted on the Dcorp VC Platform.

The Dcorp Token Changer
A diagram that depicts how the conversion method will work within the VC platform:
 

As well as allowing the exchange of DRP to either DRPU or DRPS with zero fees incurred, this token changer will always allow investors to exchange their DRPU to DRPS, or vice versa. A minimal fee will be implemented for the swap between the two new tokens, and this in turn is in place to prevent attempted manipulation within Dcorp’s ecosystem.  
This solution provides justification for Dcorp in having done everything in their power to ensure that all investors are made aware of the risks and the compliance regulations that are put in place.

This now allows DRPU, which is classified as a Utility, to be listed on American based exchanges with little to no blockades in compliance. This indirectly will allow DRPS, as a security, to concurrently derive value as well. The idea of a fixed rate token changer on the VC platform will provide in effect a set-ratio in value between the two tokens, allowing free reign of trading on registered exchanges worldwide, without the fear of setback from third party government regulations.

It's possible that someone got their hands on the old hacked database from May 2015 and decided to actually attempt to get into accounts with info that they gathered from that database.
This.



A lot of the 2010-2012 accounts do seem to be compromised. In 2012 the site was changed to use a much stronger hashing method for passwords. In 2015 the site was hacked and the database (with password hashes) was leaked. It would make sense that the hashes from early accounts are easily brute-force-able.

At this point I would assume that the 2013+ accounts are unrelated though and probably hacked due to re-using passwords on other sites.



Overall, I do assume most of those old accounts are newbie accounts (most even by spambots) where the owner didn't login after 2012 (as that would update the password hash.) Basically the potential damage is very limited. He might be able to sell those accounts though. I don't think admins can do too much against it. But if there is a very clear pattern (like all accounts logins from same IP), obvious accounts could just be frozen IMO.

Achow was spot on. The database stolen in 2015 has been made available for sale and that means the data is now spreading more.

You come back after not posting for almost 2 years, necro this thread without actually acting on any of the advice you were given and expect people to help you? The account name you picked is suspicious. So is your behaviour.

No. Unless you start taking advice no one can help you.

so all the other ones which are which are for sale they are ok even though they are hacked which ive bought on a previous account?

If you have evidence that the accounts sold by others are hacked/cracked/otherwise illegal then that is not ok. Provide evidence and they will get removed.

However, don't bother if you have just an hunch. That won't cut it.
13  Other / Meta / Re: so are we allowed to post in investor based games anymore or not? on: September 30, 2016, 05:43:15 AM
...

how it can evolve into:
- New site is posted
- Members choose whether to support it or not
- Site evolves and lasts many cycles, many people get paid and make money
- Last people lose, but much less than all the people who gained

so you tell me, do you want ignorant people to keep on losing money from smart trickery of these scams or do you want less people to lose out and more people to gain?

...

Really? How do people lose less that others gain? Well I'll be damned. Sign me up to this magic money generating machine right now! </sarcasm>

Free speech means that people can say everything they want until they damage the physical integrity of respective person.

You're putting a restriction on Free Speech that doesn't exist on this forum. There are restrictions here ("doxing", "off topic" and "spamming" for example). But damaging the physical integrity is not one of them.

If you want to be an obnoxious person than you're free to do so. The topic of this discussion is "How offensive can a post be". I think that question has been answered. What do you actually want from this thread?

Btw i dont need to try to discredit you ...

... everyone with half a brain can see that you are one of the dumb penny sig spammers.
You are not even half as smart as you think you are.

Wait, what?

And yes scientific research is agreeing with me.

A quick lookup shows there have indeed been some studies that suggest an hereditary component to lying. However the consensus is still that lying is a behavioral study. In short, science is not agreeing with you.
15  Other / Meta / Re: How offensive can a post be? on: August 24, 2016, 01:10:20 AM
You can be as offensive, stupid, brilliant etc. as you want as long as you stay on topic. If you're just resorting to personal attacks and (not even that indirectly) wishing someone to die you're not discussing anymore. So if that's your only contribution here than go off and fuck yourself.



It's all a balance and judgement is subjective and there's an huge gray area. I don't expect this post to be deleted since I am on the topic. Had I just written:

Quote
You're just a fucking offensive cunt, go stick a fork in a wall socket

It would (should) have been removed. Use your common sense. The only "defense" is being a non native writer and writing something unintentionally offensive / off topic. In that case I suggest you improve your writing skill.
16  Other / Meta / Re: Everyone keeps saying people are a "Paid Shill", is there any truth to this? on: August 10, 2016, 12:19:24 AM
just don't confuse someone that has a different opinion on the matter with a paid shill, i see this lately
Although there are some instances of "paid shills" I believe them to be far and few-in-between.

I think the overwhelming majority of the time, a "paid shill" or a "sockpuppet" is simply someone who does not agree with a certain viewpoint, and instead of attacking the viewpoint, someone will simply claim they are a "paid shill" or a "sockpuppet" -- this is not unlike an ad hominem attack. (there are a lot more instances of people using sockpuppets then there that of "paid shills" although not all sockpuppets will vouch or side with their "owner")

You heard it from the expert on sock puppets. Heed their advice.

I can understand that there are fewer "paid" shills since it's so easy to create some alt accounts and sock puppet all over the place.
17  Other / Meta / Re: Was my thread moved to the wrong section? on: August 05, 2016, 12:52:35 AM
I'm assuming the rationale is that the general Bitcoin discussion is only to be used for Bitcoin specific discussions. Your question is related to blockchain as a separate technology. It is not focused specifically on Bitcoin and does not fit into any of the Bitcoin specific boards. The knee jerk is to move anything else out to the Altcoin boards.

Personally I'd say blockchain discussions (your post) would fit into the Development & Technical Discussion child board; General Bitcoin would be my second choice.

That said, thanks for an interesting post. I appreciate it.

Charlie is out, but will he honor his debt ?

did you use a financial licensed exchanger so that you can claim your money back? a licensed exchanger would have a bond which would cover the losses but in this case...NO Smiley
so, take it as an "experience and move on  Wink

and you are ?

the one who is telling you to "grow up " and stop whining on forums  Smiley  
if you are a man with dignity and a little brain , you will understand, if you are a pussy, you will keep arguing without any real justification. Wink

Hey, if you're ever looking for someone to sell something on your behalf I'd be glad to help you out. I'll take your goods, sell them and keep (most of?) the returns for myself.

Then you can "grow up" and not whine about it as well.

This post is sarcastic. I would not actually steal since I'm not a criminal / scammer like say... Charlie Shrem.
19  Other / Meta / Re: Why this forum have lame design ? on: July 20, 2016, 05:31:01 AM
What's wrong with the design? It's nice, clear, and doesn't waste resources - i.e. loads quickly. It's dumb to demand a new design just to follow questionable aesthetic trends that change every few months. What's the problem with keeping a system that works? After all this forum should mainly provide useful content and information and not be a catwalk for hipsters.

A very important advantage of this forum is that it works without JavaScript. Out of security reasons, JavaScript is disabled in my browser per default. I can't even load the new beta forum without deactivating various security settings. Sad That is idiotic - a forum primarily displays simple text. That should be possible without scripting!

ya.ya.yo!

if you not smart dont talk at all.
it is possible to change to classic and easy design that way more comfortable to surf in.
some of the users here have raisin brain and they they immediately think on design with loads of effects and colors when heard of a change.
they also have lack of knowledge on marketing and entrepreneurship so they foolishly think that this design is the reason for its success.
i guess you're on of them.

Cu.ri.ou.s8!

Wow, aren't you a special snowflake?

You make a shit post about the forum design with no substantial information premised on your opinion of the forum design being "lame". You show no awareness of previous discussions on this subject (I remember a previous shit post about the design being good, there are probably more; also there's the whole thing about EpochTalk). You don't provide any concrete examples of poor design.

Yet when someone replies with some actual arguments you respond by insulting them? You should seriously reconsider your behaviour.
