BitcoinTalk Secret Santa 2021

[MNbag]

In the spirit of Christmas, I have decided to create a Secret Santa Exchange in this forum!

  Have a Merry Future Christmas!

Any questions would be welcome!

There's no way I'm clicking on that link, OP. 

If you're starting a thread like this, first make sure it's in the right section (because I have a feeling it might not be) and then give more details about what you're doing rather than just providing a link to an external website.  It's easier on the community, and you'll probably get a better response if you elaborate on your plan instead of making people go elsewhere to find out.

How would a secret Santa thing work on a forum dedicated to bitcoin, anyway?  That's what I'd like you to explain (here in this thread).

It is basically a Google Form asking for your name here in the forum, email address, mailing address, your "secret Santa Wishlist", and a rating of 1-5 (Rate how naughty or nice you've been this year.)

@OP
There is no way in hell that we will give you that kind of information, let alone our email address and mailing address.
I opened the link in a different device, just in case.

Edit: This was the form in case others do not want to open the link.

I don't think you can, anyway, it's down with a 400 Bad Request error.

That was what happened when I shortened the link to the Google Form.

You are right, better move it to Off-Topic.

I use Google Forms as it is easier to do the draw with this than with just BitcoinTalk as I don't have to dox anyone along the way.

A Secret Santa is when people anonymously gift something to a randomly designated person for Christmas.

How it works is basically respondents put in the necessary details in the Google Forms, I will match up the people who are receiving the gifts to the people who are gifting them randomly and I dm the participants with their giftee's details.

Basically, it works like any other forum Secret Santa I have seen.

It is the first Secret Santa I have ever done, so I am inexperienced with this.

Sorry for the lack of clarity.

You can. There is just extra "[/url"  at the end of the link.

Lol,  This is social engineering. Imagine collecting Bitcointalk usernames, email addresses.

What next? Brute force to access the accounts? or Spam the email addresses with phishing links
Members be careful with such "secret santas"

Ok, that is it.

I give up on this project since this makes me look like I am phishing for data.

What is the point of planning this in the first place?

Sorry OP, but that is how this works, you know.

One thing it is to plan a Secret Santa event within your favorite anime Discord server and another completely different thing it is to request obvious personal information on a webpage about digital assets where people with a lot of money participate on.

Besides, the information your are requesting could be sold on the darknet, ect.

Next time, try to contribute in a different and yet wholesome way, which would not involve asking strangers on internet their home address.

Merry Christmas.
