Is it possible that some new rules are implemented so that people cannot launch a coin from bitcointalk before they deliver proof who they are:
I would suggest:
1. Passport/ID (copy needs to be send to Bitcointalk)
2. Address (copy of billing address needs to be send to Bitcointalk)
Maybe some more suggestions from the community? We have been scammed by several people, and when people know the name of the coin owner then he will not make any mistakes as they will find him. We are talking here about real money, and miners/investors need some protections. There will be always scammers, but with now rules altcoin business will look much better later on...
Nooooooo, that is a horrible idea on so many levels. This is a forum, the fact that people can buy/sell things on the forum makes it as much of a financial institution as Craigslist, we ask you to do your own due dilligence, but besides that, its not the forum staff's job to filter people for suitable merchants. If we start doing background checks, we would run into all sorts of legal complications and become liable for scammers that we didn't correctly background check. Not to mention the most fundamentally flawed part, is that we dont want to know, nor do we care who you are. We dont want to know your personal info, we dont want to store your personal info on this site, and we dont want to be held liable for holding your personal info. Trade smart, caveat emptor y venditor, dont get scammed.
