Very interesting aspects of some signatures
The starters of this topic "Coolcryptovator" and "mdayonliner" are involved in BQT ICO bounty campaign. Homepage of this ICO: www.bitque.io. In their LinkedIn profiles team members Kirill Ovs and Vyacheslav Mirgorodsky declare to be team members of "BitQue Ltd. UK", but in British company registers there doesn´t exist a company with this name. However there is a company named "BQT Ltd.", London, since 31.12.2017 a dorming company, reactivated on 26.06.2018. This company is mentioned at the end ICO homepage in very small letters. Another team member of BQT is the Lithuanian Arturas Svirkis, an ICO advisor with 10 projects experience, but some of these projects seem very dubious, i.e. Welltrado Kaunas (with business registration as Welltrado Ltd. in UK), where he still acts as Head of Marketing and Business Development. And I´ve already detected some more suspicious facts. My investigation will go on, and I´ll offer strong proofs for the results. Provisionally I only can say: Be aware of this ICO! Andreas IOANNOU owns several similarly named companies. All dormant (never traded) prior to October 2017 (No current accounts have been filed yet with the companies office) https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreas-ioannou-aa3585a8/I found BITQUE GLOBAL LTD (08722118)https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08722118Same director of the other companies. He owns several other companies as well - this is where it gets interesting. You will notice that on most of them he describes himself as a "lawyer" but on another as an "accountant". https://www.cysec.gov.cy/en-GB/entities/asp/list/37760/ It appears that one of his companies is registered with the Cyprus Securities and exchange commission. So according to the accounts filed the company is dormant and has not traded since 2013....BQT holdings Ltd (Cyprus) - same directorBQT technologies Ltd (Formerly called Bitque Ltd)It was until recently registered to a fish and chips shop 37 Church Street, Frodsham, CheshireI don't think someone would spell their own surname name wrong - but it looks like they did..... https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10440414/filing-history/MzE2MDExNTUyNWFkaXF6a2N4/document?format=pdf&download=0According to the company records it was filed by Konstantinos Kastana s himself. As you can see the accounts of BQT technologies Ltd are erroneous - the capital is £1000 according to the company registration and not £100 as shown in the accounts. Also it is certified as paid up capital in the constitution while the accounts show it is unpaid.

Come on guy, I had what I did. You are the Losers. I have a new Senior Bitcointalk account. I don't crazy to show the new account (and new ICO project) for you. And 100$, no no, i'm not crazy to give money to the bad guys like you, and i would rather give it to a stupid dog. And now, you can say "Tedchain Scam... Scam... Scam" everywhere. I feel very very happy if you say that. Hahaha New life for me Bye bye. If you had what you said you did then show us the team members. You can't - your team members are fake - your address is fake - so you do not have what you said that you had. If you have a fake team and make false claims then your ICO is a SCAM - it is that simple.

Spot on! I also think "princess" is a much stronger insult than "asshole". The latter shows desperation.
But then you have to consider the "alt" meanings of the insults as well. https://www.names.org/n/pajeet/aboutI think a little bit of credit is due to Nagesh02 for pulling in the match promoter cabalism13 of this WWF style smackdown into the ring. I feel Nagesh02 found a sensitivity hereI do agree with Suchmoon and Loyces analysis and overall PeeMan is still winning this round. This reminds me of the old tradition of "Flyting". Flyting or fliting is a contest consisting of the exchange of insults, often conducted in verse, between two parties. Flyting is a ritual, poetic exchange of insults practised mainly between the 5th and 16th centuries. The root is the Old English word flītan meaning quarrel. Examples of flyting are found throughout Norse, Celtic, Anglo-Saxon and Medieval literature involving both historical and mythological figures. The exchanges would become extremely provocative, often involving accusations of cowardice or sexual perversion . Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyting

The evil score is explained here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1215937.0When someone is banned, their IP and some of their neighboring IPs receive evil points. The thought occurred to me recently that you could create a map of the Internet according to evil points, and I couldn't resist doing this right away. The result is pretty cool-looking IMO. It also seems to show that the evil score system is working as expected: the vast majority of the Internet is not being forced to pay, and in the isolated sections where a registration fee is required, prohibitively-large fees are very rare. Here's the image (zoom in): https://bitcointalk.org/banmap201510.pngEach pixel is a /24 address block (ie. each pixel represents 256 IP addresses). The colors are: █ Zero or nearly zero evil █ A small amount of evil █ More █ More █ At this point you actually have to pay if you register an account in this block █ More █ More █ More █ Pretty high █ A ton of evil, more than anyone is likely to pay This is per block, so a single IP address could have an evil score requiring payment while its block still shows up as black here. A colored pixel indicates the evil score of a typical IP in that block. Addresses are laid out in the standard way. So you can for example cross-reference with these maps: https://ant.isi.edu/address/A /24 should almost never uniquely identify someone, but to be safe I randomly added, removed, and modified some of this data for plausible deniability. You can follow this wise advise: IP Ban: Someone from that IP was Banned or you are using IP that is Blacklisted by Bitcointalk.org Server. You Need to pay a dust of bitcoins to get enable to your account , i guess the fine is not more than few days faucet earning. If your account is at-least Jr.Member i consider , you should Pay the Fine , else just head away and change your IP and make a new Fresh account.

Or the value of them will just increase. Most people who have them likely aren't going to sell them, though. I feel like this account is a part of me and something I've built up over a long time.
It is potentially selling your own identity. It can seriously backfire. What if it gets sold to a scammer and the police think it is you ? I think it would. Most people will have no idea how to get them then. They're easy to buy because they're readily available on the marketplace. It's like most people have to go to the black market for drugs, but if a store opened up at the end of their street selling drugs then they'd just go there to get their product.
The reason account sales aren't banned is because they will just easily occur elsewhere. Usually with account farmers they sell both the account and the email address that it is registered to. Total prohibition doesn't work. In the Netherlands "coffee shops" are allowed to sell cannabis under certain strict conditions. Maximum 5 grams for personal use. In the Netherlands drug use is seen as a sickness rather than a crime. With regard to hard drugs, possession of small quantities of up to 0.5 grams/1 pill for personal use will also not be prosecuted. As with soft drugs, the offender will have to relinquish the drugs and they will be taken out of circulation. Source: http://www.loc.gov/law/help/decriminalization-of-narcotics/netherlands.phpOther European countries like Germany are considering similar laws. Wow! Am I the only one here who is suspecting an Alt account here? The OP's post was garbage, most likely a google translation. Then comes in "Coolcryptovator" and merits him with 5 points for a shitpost. And this doesn't stop here. He makes another Shitpost to bump up his signature posts and guess what? Both have a motto of "Scam free Bitcointalk". I have seen 2 "shitposts" today from users wearing the BQT signature, I will check up with the manager soon. I doubt it is an "alt". Coolcryptovator has better grammar than the OP. Perfect English is not part of my criteria for giving merit - I don't expect it to be part of other peoples criteria either. While I didn't merit it - I can see why others would.

I don’t really agree with that. Olichargy Oligarchy by its delineation as per wikipedia a form of power structure in which power rests with a small number of people, may be distinguished by nobility, wealth, family ties, religious or military control. Have you seen people controlling the merit system? As I can see merit sources are doing great in spreading merit and not kept it in few. I am actually nobody when I started here and from the 3rd world country Philippines (per oligarchy is concern I’m not from the elite country), but, as you can see I managed to get the merit needed for a Hero member (your interpretation of oligarchy (bitcointalk) is not valid). You have more merit than you know what to do with. I've never seen you bitch and moan about the merit system expecting them to come magically for a three line post. I have seen you spend hours and hours working on quality posts that on topics that you are enthusiastic about. Some of those topics keep on earning you merit. Maintaining them and keeping them updated. Chatting - both learning and teaching. I have also seen you spend hours on translating topics that stops people from getting scammed and help people understand features the forum.Then again maybe you are one of them... olives.. oligogenes.....oligarchy...merit getters!

It takes more than 2 years to reach on targeted rank.But on the other hand some guys buy high rank accounts through money just only for sign campaign. Its should be stopped. Every single visitor of this forum take decisions about someone by seeing his/her accounts merit,trust,rank. If someone can easily buy that position just by spending some money then what is the price of this rank & hardwork.
Finally we see here in the forum that all our DT members are doing hardwork to stop account buy -sell. But account buying and selling is allowed by forum. I think account buy sell should be prevent officially and buyer- seller both should be ban.
There is a finite supply of legendary accounts. Eventually they will run out or become scarce. When you buy a legendary account: You are likely to get discovered because you don't understand the way the forum works and what is expected. You are likely to break forum rules or protocols that will get you noticed. You might get ripped off by a fake seller - no crypto and no account. You might buy the account of someone who was a criminal and get busted for their crimes. You could get banned for breaking the forum rules. You could get tagged for account purchase. There are a number of ways that sold accounts get detected.

For a handsome amount of time (few minutes) I thought "massacre" itself was an altcoin LOL. I looked on CMC for massacre but I have not got any result. There may not be a massacre on coinmarketcap The closest I found was mascara on coinmakeup https://www.coinmakeup.com/en/11-mascaraHow did I end up there ?

I know it works better in person. I was torn on whether I should create this thread but it does reflect on the forum itself within the last year.
When I first joined it was initially to find out if I had been ripped off on a hardware sale. Like the genius I was I created an account solely to request the admins verify an email I had against a username.... oh to be dumb and naive again.
Truth be told I had already spent 3 months researching crypto and had already been mining for 3 months or so. The reason I didn't start here was because it appeared to be a steaming pile of shit.
Trying to find basic information was near impossible and a large number of posters seemed to be talking out of their asses.
Over the last year I think the forum has improved greatly due to some vigilant MODS and an active community base that decided it was time for change. The merit system has also helped move the forum in a positive direction.
This was my first experience within an online forum and I definitely had a lot to learn. Thanks to those that helped along the way.
I found introducing kiddies to Mr Search Engine and a lesson in history puts things in a different perspective.

There's a ton of people complaining that they make quality post and not getting merit.
I've underlined the part of the statement that I agree with. The rest I don't agree with. Show me the quality posts that deserve merit and didn't get it. and meet my criteria: I'm not a merit source but my meriting criteria is:
1) I avoid meriting posts that talk about merit (exceptions are occasionally made). 2) I check poster history for regular bounty or advertising shitposts. (Merit is to reduce low quality posts) 3) Is the post of sufficient quality to deserve merit ? Funny, unique, informative, helpful and well intended ? (not merit begging)The people who want merit generally are the ones that shitpost in bounties. It is not hard to earn merit. You only have to make a couple of good posts that keep on getting merit. Satoshi is an example of where a user doesn't even have to log onto the forum for years and still get merit. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topusersat

it means that in 7 months(the merit system was integrated in january) most of the high ranked members that posted in that thread didn't managed to earn 1 SINGLE merit. which is even a better indicator that the merit system need improvements. and by that I mean more merit sources. there are only 84 merit sources for over 2mln users.
It just means there are a ton of shitposters. A lot of posters that contribute a small amount not worthy of merit and a tiny number of users that make merit-able content.I'm not a merit source but my meriting criteria is: 1) Avoid meriting posts that talk about merit (exceptions are occasionally made). 2) Check poster history for regular bounty or advertising shitposts. 3) Is the post of sufficient quality to deserve merit. Funny, unique, informative, helpful and well intended. (not merit begging)As you can see from the search results and the amount of threads of the same name. It is neither unique nor interesting conversation. Someone who has merit to give is unlikely to be visiting the thread.

Yesterday one message was deleted, (it was published in the Russian section in the subject "Forecasts, news). Copied from another site (news). ( But the message was published on the topic).
Did you copy and past from somewhere else without citing the source ? Plagiarism gets an instant ban. Yes, I copied from another site. It was my fault not to insert a link to the source. Tell me please, is there an opportunity to restore access? You can appeal your ban here: banappeals-w6pquw43@theymos.e4ward.comEDIT: Then I saw this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4909612.msg44219568#msg44219568I think you have to accept that you received a permaban. Which means that you as a person is banned. You cannot post with any other account either.

Hopefully this will stop some people from getting scammed.

I've been here since 2014, and whenever there's a scam I'm always glad that the ANN threads are not deleted. They serve as a good teaching source. Sometimes I go back and go through the "Real Stack Coin," scam and read on how excited the people were until the dev announced that it was scam, rubbing it in with a party gif.
I don't see any need to ban a scammer, because then they'll create another account anyway. And I doubt anyone will trust them again. The guy that you talked about has a -241 rating.
You have a very valid point about it being a good teaching source. Also I love history - censorship can kill some history. Also google indexes bitcointalk.org quite well. So if you make a scam accusation or post in a thread that is not self moderated then it will get indexed on google. "XYZ ICO is a scam" indexes quite well on google and may warn people about it. I sometimes warn on a self moderated thread that if they delete my genuine question I will open a specific thread about it and they won't be able to moderate it. Often that leads to either good dialogue or a scam accusation thread.

Unlike a cloth sack, most of those coins never had a use in the first place. They only are ever used as pump and dump trading vehicles. The ones that will survive will be the ones with some kind of utility.
The other reason Bitcoin is getting back above 50% market dominance is that tokens, as well as coins, are included in that measurement. It seems that people are slowly waking up to the fact that the vast majority of the ICOs are just plain simple scams.
How long before the ICO signature spam dies as well is another question.
Alts historically always have fluctuated more than bitcoin. Part of the reason for this is that BTC is their primary base market. Just like the price of commodities that use the US$ as a base market fluctuate more than the US $ itself. I agree that the majority of Alts have no purpose for existence. They are a ploy to take bitcoin and provide useless tokens in return. It is like saying: "Give me your gold and I'll give you an interest bearing piece of paper that shows I've taken your gold that you can exchange with others." The only "alts" and ICOs of value are the ones that provide some sort of actual real world service or purpose. - Not just promises of a purpose. Most of the "promises" are just BS.

Have I volunteered my wife's social media information?
Show me where I have doxxed your wife. You just made the accusation. Now provide the proof. Dox: publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the Internet In regards to your information - you published your full name and LinkedIn profile as well as your twitter.You posted your name and linkedin here in April and rest of the stuff here in May
Unless I published your phone number or home address (which I won't) there is nothing more to doxx.

Stop talking crap Mdayonliner. I didn't dox you. You doxed yourself. You even volunteered the information. Here
1. Personal information must be confined to the new "investigations" board (under Scam Accusations), which is only visible to Members and above. Personal information is defined as anything which links a user's online identity (username, email, etc.) to their meatspace identity, excluding links that the person himself has posted. You posted your name and linkedin hereI didn't post one bit of information about you there that you hadn't posted yourself on bitcointalk. Then as an extra precaution I even moved it to investigations. Because I knew that you would pull this type of stunt. You even told me to post more. Keep an archive of this post if you want. I strongly hope this will help to dig down more about me.
PS: I am a marketing guy and I would not mind to have an exposure my mate. Go ahead.
Nothing I posted was irrelevant to the accusation. I didn't post any details that didn't need to be there. Everything is available because either you posted it on the internet yourself or it is public record. I deliberately did not post information that was unnecessary. You are selective in your posts. Stop scamming everyone with your "poor me" story. This is how you treat people: Motherfucker! What are you smoking that everything comes out twisted from your fucking head (?)! Are you a dick head (?)
STFU! Be my guest. I don't fucking give a fuck. You think you decide my reputation?
You got caught scamming. You promoted a scam and people that participated in the scam lost money and bitcoin. End of story.
