Is it allowed to buy someone's account?

[JuggSlash]

No, there is a rule for that. Just don't buy an account or you will get a red tag on your bought account.

As far as I know, it is not allowed. The Forum strictly regulates upgrades and must be upgraded through merit.

This is really interesting, I don't know much about this account buying thing but personally I don't think it  is  safe to buy someone's else account. The seller can still get access to the account after selling since he/she has access to the password of the account.

[Kakmakr]

When this is done in public like this and people pick up that the account was sold, then they report it and you will get negative trust. So it is not really worth it. In a way, account sales are one way to cheat the system and previously before the Merit system was introduced, account farming was quite common. <People only creating accounts and posting to sell the account later for profit> 

A lot of these accounts end up in the hands of criminals that use these accounts to scam people. <higher ranking accounts, have a lot more credibility and people trust them more than a newbie account.> 

[wvizmanos]

When an account struggling to get merit is offered a higher rank account it would obviously be tempting. But why would someone sell his/her account for a few dollars when he can earn more by being active and bounty campaigns? Mind boggling....

[jenniepark]

Really inadvisable to buy a account, and if you do, you really wouldn't want anyone to know.

[sagarregmi28]

I don't advice to buy account coz Gaining merits and activity point is hard work in bitcointalk so write good post help others in their post and gain some merits and activity point.

[Muhammedayo]

What's the purpose of buying an account in the first place when you can easily grow your own to your taste.
On other note ,do not fall for scammers.

[Heidim]

Buying an account is not tricky and it is in my opinion full of special black markets. Yes, it is real, but I would not do it. In rules forum clearly not spelled out that this permitted to, but I think this will not give you benefit to. So if you decide to do it it is better not to write about it. In addition, if you still buy an account, do not forget to change your username and Password for your own safety!

You can't change your username. I'll be stuck to my silly name untill I'm Legendary. 

Well you are still a newbie, you will get used to your "silly" name. Are you saying hi (as in hello) or laughing? Not that silly.

[nakamura12]

Buying account if it is allowed or not is not in the forum but selling account is discouraged to the forum and no one will stop you from buying accounts. One more thing if you don't like the name you can create one with the username you desire and pay to become junior member. When you create account you can just create that's not umable to posting also there is a way to remove it by paying btc and you will become copper member and you can add images too if you are a copper member.

Hello. Please i saw someone selling a bitcointalk account in a certain telegram group which i wanted to buy, but i want to find out if its allowed on this forum because i don't want to get banned. Thanks

May i ask why you need to buy account? As far as i know we are here in this forum to learn, share knowledge and expertise, and help each others. I assume that you are trying to buy a high ranked account for the bounty. But let me tell you one thing, i read somewhere in the forum why they implement the merit system and that is to control spam and non sense topic just for them to rank up. We are here to learn what is crypto and blockchain, as a newbie i expect a higher ranked member to answer my queries if im confuse, so if ever you got that higher rank account that you're planning to buy how will you help the forum and community if you are still a newbie by heart and knowledge? I advise you not to buy account, lets just stay here, read post and learn everyday. Eventually we can be those high ranking member in the future.

[weertgilders]

Buying someone else's account is not good. Instead try helping people in the Bitcoin talk community by replying to their posts by this way you will get knowledge as well as your own account can grow in the community. I would not suggest you to buy someone else's account instead work hard and leave your mark in the community.

1)There is no limit about this , I have never hear about this at least .
2)But you should be careful not be scamed , someone maybe sold you a fake account or just change the password after you get the account .
3)You should change the email as soon as possible when you buy someone's account .

[Laxus215]

It's worth to make a new account and start from scratch. I know to reach on the good rank journey will be tougher coz any one easily don't get merits. If you buy accounts you will probably get negative trust check history on reputation section.
