 Shocked
That's the look I have on my face. Apparently BTC prices have attracted scammers. It seems like every post I read there's someone (at least!) with their trust rating in the red...and its not even acknowledged.

Maybe this thread gets moved to off-topic, but anyone else notice the same?

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Yeah, there's people acting without a care in the world with big red negative 'do not touch with a ten foot pole' beside their name and other folks on the same thread merrily chatting away, bloody insane if you ask me. Those red thieves should be rounded up and run outta Dodge.

Haha you said it. I can remember not long ago at all that if your trust was in the red, you might as well not even post on here. You'd be attacked by EVERYBODY. That's obviously not the case anymore. I'm probably going to stick to conducting business with people I previously have. The forums aren't what they used to be.

make sure you guys read the trust.  I've read some of these and some people get a negative trust who didn't even do business with the person.

Tip Me if believe BTC1 will hit $1 Million by 2030

- It's OK to post a rating about the person in general, not tied to a specific trade.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Im, for one not here to scam people. on the other hand i have a stalker and as you may (or may not) know that can be like dealing with a pre-teen on meth.

I was given negative (red) marks by a monitor who just so happened to read her thread and assumed from this, that im a fraud. i was able to have the monitor remove the red markings and was able to have everyone i have done a physical transaction with write feedback for me. her user names and IP are now blocked and im still here  Grin

now just to have someone remove my personal info and the fake photoshopped info the stalker has posted..
uah another day maybe.

Yup, this is all true - I suspect I got hacked due to this rise in price. :\
