your site loads so slow that i cba to wait for it...

I don't know what HTER is referring to, but it doesn't really grip me.


Oh great. Why do you need blockchain for this? Also, there are several billion $$$ institutions researching this very thing. Why exactly should we give you money instead of them? (https://www.breakoutlabs.org/ et al)

It has all the signs of a ponzi scheme. I wouldn't invest in it.

This article describes it better than i ever could. It's a HYIP plain and simple. This site has absolutely nothing to do with trading.

I said „Negatively-Trusted”, I'm not so sure if that equates as to being called a scammer (Which i didn't exactly do?)...? I guess i could've worded that a bit better though.
(That does show you interpret being negatively trusted ≈= being a scammer?)


That would probably be the general perception of what the trust system represents. I think most people look at someone with red trust as "untrustworthy". I'm not saying you necessarily are, i'm just offering a perspective here.

-- ...How did you get tagged in the first place? That seems pretty odd if above is the case.?

I actually would mostly agree that the trust system seems pretty flawed. Especially for a decentralized/libertarian forum. I however, don't really have a better proposal/implementation.


Those two "users" (Usernames rather) were chatting on the site. I highly doubt these usernames actually represent the people behind the accounts with said username here on bitcointalk -- I don't think there is any connection at all between them really.

This is a *gambling* site..   I don't see the MLM/HYIP present here?

>Involves gambling,

>100% working.
One of the two must be false.

You must be playing some weird gambling games when the odds are so that you'll always have a 100% winning ratio (Profit ratio after each session that is..).

Why would you sell the script (and thus saturate your money making method) for just 35$? That doesn't seem worth the hassle AT all if you're making as much as you're claiming to do?

How many copies have you sold yet using your "Autobuy link" (Shady?)...?

This has all the signs of being a scam. Sorry OP, but i don't buy it.

Doesn't it look really bland? There's like 5 coins i haven't heard of and that's it?


What exactly does registering you? Allowing people to add/vote for coins? I tried voting w/out logging in and it worked just fine? Not sure if that's a feature or a bug.
Also, the loading times on your site are slighly high for me.

https://www.dareboost.com/en/report/d_5bbe56e1e967906708ea204e You might want to try and fix some issues.

I for one don't really see a reason to use this site in it's current form in comparison with something like ICOalert (If that's even comparable?).

I guess it hasn't really worked out for you yet?


Which you received for this post;


Which was basically just you circlejerking around the "Merit is great" hype.. I guess that's what you're doing here as well, with content that has already been posted at least a thousand times before..  

It certainly doesn't seem to be the case for you.. Damn, it's pretty ballsy how you're trying to moral high horse everyone like that.

Actually the only two profiles that i've recognized on the site were the ones you mentioned.

By picking 2 negatively trusted users?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=149737
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1432468

That wouldn't really comfort me to bet all that much if that were to be all/my only reference of said site.

I think there's probably more to it then them two just being randomly picked by the presumed "owner" of the site...?

---

Edit: Nevermind. I now see a lot more profiles popping up as well. It does look pretty random.

It's 100% a scam. There is no legit gambling site that will first let you win 0.6BTC, but in order to withdraw it you'll need to deposit 0.1BTC. That's just an obvious scam.

https://bitcoinxbet.org/ This site is literally the crypto embodiment of all these fake CSGO gambling sites.

Also, it has no visitors AT all. See https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/bitcoinxbet.org, but every 120 seconds, there is a pot worth 2 grand. The people gambling there are so obviously fake.. Don't give them a single dime!

Could you please, please PM me the full discord name of the user that promoted this site to you? (Including #?) I'm very much interested.

---

I tried registering on the site and received nothing.

How exactly does this work for the coins that have paid binance to be listed? Afaik Romano (VIACOIN) paid Binance to list their coin, and undoubtedly many other projects did this aswell.

Will they be held to the same standard? I presume they have signed some sort of contract which garantuees listing until X?

I mean, BCN had ~2.5 million volume daily, https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bytecoin-bcn/#markets

vs VIA ~~~300-600K. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/viacoin/

That sounds extremely niche.

You want a beginners section in the local boards so people can ask what the best wallet is to use there in their local language as well? Or the 1000th post about merit in your "Local Meta" board..? Seems extremely overkill.

Because you're simply spreading the posts over a "larger" area. Ofcourse it'll look like the spam has lessened.

It seems pretty clear what your real reasoning is behind this idea; more sections to post crap in without people noticing/paying attention to it as much...?

Seems to be signed correctly.


For those that are interested..


I guess that's pretty relative. It's roughly 10 months old by now. It seems that you made roughly 40 posts after the implementation of the system.

Multibit HD wallets have a bip32 seed if i'm not mistaken.

You should be able to use a tool such as https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ / https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39 and convert the seed into private keys.

You can then obviously import those keys in a wallet which is still supported. (Electrum?)

See this thread, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1938149.0

and more specifically HCP's comment which covers the entirety of the process pretty well;

A fraudulent cloud mining site is making suspicious moves. Who would've thought. Water is wet and the earth is round...


If this is the thing that's starting to make you suspicious about Genesis-Mining.... Well.. I don't know what to tell you.

Maybe you want to take a look at these threads aswell.

There's tons of issues and unresolved scam reports regarding them and their shady business operations..

If it wasn't HostFat, and it wasn't Ognasty,



it has to be TomatoCage, right?

Could it be that someone instead removed Lauda from his trust list, as opposed to someone ~~~excluding him?

You mean something like this? https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/32695

This answer is also pretty constructive (And is what the above answer is based on). https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/3374/how-to-redeem-a-basic-tx?noredirect=1&lq=1

The above answer also links an article which is defnitely worth a read. See http://www.righto.com/2014/02/bitcoins-hard-way-using-raw-bitcoin.html

I'd be very much interested in seeing a segwit version of this aswell. especially one which uses bech adresses. (If anyone has any links!)

Nope. Plagiarism constitutes a permanent ban. You have to have a very good reason, or extreme value to the forum to get unbanned. I highly doubt that that is the case here. But i guess it doesn't hurt to ask.

Seems like you obviously did it for monetary reasons? What do you mean with "I gained nothing"? You made money from it right? You did it so you fulfilled a requirement for your bounty?

I'm pretty sure Lauda was on DT2 atleast since last week. (S)he must have been removed either today or earlier this week.

Basically my understanding of it is that someone who is on DT1+ can add you to his/her trust list, which makes you DT2. You can also exclude users from your trust list, but this is only visible for yourself?

I personally think it's pretty vague too, and would love to get a better understanding of it.

Is there a source on this? How many people from DT1 need to exclude you to kick you off again? (Or does it not exactly work that way?) As i said i'm pretty curious to know.

---

Also, are there any other topics discussing why Lauda got kicked from DT2? seems pretty bad for the forum as a whole? (Hundreds and hundreds of accounts potentially being untagged?)

I'm assuming it has something to do with the feedback left by Rmcdermott927 that sparked some discussion? See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=101872

I've used SMSPVA in the past, back in the day when they only supported Russian numbers.

Seems like they've updated their site quite a lot, as they now also support french numbers. See https://smspva.com/

It's 0.9$ for Whatsapp verification. Note that i don't know what they do with the number after they verified it, as such, i would never use it for anything but throwaway verifications. Using this to verify personal stuff seems like a big nono to me, and i personally wouldn't recommend it. (That goes for any number you buy from anyone online.)

I have seen some people use Coinomi to import their Mycelium seed in. It'll then show both your bitcoin balance, and that of your bitcoin cash (if any).

You might want to give that a try, although i'm not entirely sure if the seed they generate for BCH wallets is that same as that of BTC wallets. (?)


He received bitcoin in a BCH wallet. Seems like it should be the other way around?

This might also be a viable option. https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/57471
(Although again, i'm not entirely sure if the derivation paths are the same with a BCH wallet compared to that of a BTC one.)

That site looks real sketchy. If it wasn't for the ANN you linked, i would've definitely written it off as a scam.


I think it was a little bit of both, looking at their blogpost about it, they state the following:


And

Which definitely indicates that they thought volatility was a big issue. Not necessarily for them, but for their customers.. (Which seems a little bit odd if you think about it. I'm pretty sure most users understood what they we're dealing with..?) Seems a little over-protective of them if you'd ask me.
