Bitcointalk - Please act now!

[cryptohunter]

ipo is bad idea, anyone putting btc in for these types of coins are asking for problems. Let's hope some people learned a hard lesson here and don't fall for it again.

I just read about Stack, last few pages. there is a possibility to find the bastard. love it when I'm right.

[BigNiggaTigga]

I agree with this. If your going to release a coin you should tell us who you are and your plans for the coin and what they have to lose etc. I think TAG did this

it might stop cocksuckers like mrlotto/redcoin/topcoin <--- all 1 guy. from releasing multiple shitcoins just to rake in some dough from the communities hard work

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...

Just don't "invest" in IPO / IPCO scams and everyone will be just fine.

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.

Not a good idea, I don't know if many people would be comfortable in uploading their passport.

[Skinnkavaj]

Don't think this will help honestly. And this forum should be free of use. If someone wants to prove their identity they can always use an escrow.

Excellent idea. Why don't you start and put your scans in the thread? Thanks guv.

I believe this cannot be done. I believe this forum is for freedom believers not the way around. My suggestion is don't easily get fooled by those new coins and you will be golden.

[markjamrobin]

Just have some common sense, and you will surely be fine. Don't put money into anything, that is not extensively trusted.

[Skoupi]

Most of the altcoins are pump and dump schemes. You want protection so that you can pump and dump without any other risks?
Kinda ironic don't you think?

[Tonka Branded Truck]

Those passports and ids can be easily obtain don't trust them so much. Just use your common sense.

[Sheldor333]

I don't see how this would help. It would only limit creativity. Why should we do that? I think people should only you their heads and that is all. Don't jump into something if you are not prepared to lose.
