That honest attitude is better than the thousands of spam posts you spread

[ShowOff]

Wow. Last time I checked, EZ0010 had less than 90 merits, and that was not a long time ago. It looks like he will have the merits of a hero member in a few weeks, but the activity of a newbie.

Although we have quite a lot of honest and trustworthy people in this forum but when it is a small mistake like sending bitcoin to the wrong address then I believe the chances of getting those bitcoin back are very small if the recipient is not a member of the forum.

So getting some merit for EZ0010's honest attitude is very reasonable, he gets credit because he knows what it's like to lose money, and because of that he will be immediately promoted to a higher rank once his activity and post count is achieved. He earned enough merit for that, but if he wasn't able to post something quality then merit wouldn't be for him in the future either.

How did I miss this? Thank you OP for sharing this. We all must be honest, however, I think you shouldn’t compare this with merit. Just saying.
Everyone also should notice that this guy got a lot of merit just because of his honesty but getting a lot of merit doesn’t necessarily mean to be honest. For example, theyoungmillionaile who had a lot of merit earned but a scammer. So, Don't trust anyone with a lot of merits.

He earned the respect with his action of sending back the money which was wrongly send by theymos while sending to an another address. But we no need to relate the knowledge with behaviour or character of someone, we have to be good and don't look for a reason to be good that is what I replied to his last comment.

Cheater : "I'll tell truth, I've participated in x campaign with my alt accounts and I broke the company rules" This cheater is so honest, so give him 190+ merits

I know honest attitude is very important in anything whether it's on real life or internet, the question is do you will be honest like that's newbies if you get money from someone accidentally send to you? Because this is not your fault, so in logic you don't need have to refund, but if you want to become good person you need to refund that since it's not your money. It's almost impossible to find such member, a newbies with no reputations have nothing to lose if he don't want to refund.

Literally all peoples already know what is honest attitude since they must be got teached in school, but can you become a honest person?

I don't think honesty on this forum is to be associated with ranks. There's a person behind every account. There are newbies who are scammers but there are also legendary members who proved to be equal frauds. Newbies are sometimes not given the amount of trust given to a hero or legendary member simply because of their rank. But it doesn't speak of honesty. If a person behind an account is honest, rank does not matter. He/she will return what does not rightfully belong to him/her.

It will never happen, I know it's not the expected honesty but it is a suicide bombing when someone is too honest with the police after doing something wrong ^[cheating].  So it should never be the same. I know that everyone knows what honesty is but we really have to research to believe it with money if it is done on the internet. So would you say bounty cheaters who claim to cheat on bounty are honest people?

I know, I get a lot of evidence from these links when they deal with money. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=1883627

When I saw this thread I remember a day when I received a 0.00065640 BTC from an unknown, address, and I am shocked why is this happened cause I did not participate in any campaign,  that time and then someone pm me.
Cause the manager mistakenly put my bitcoin address to the user who has been accepted his campaign and I'm sent a message to the manager about that but he replied to me that I'll keep the BTC as it was his mistake.
So I'll keep it as he said.

That's exactly what I had in my mind. It doesn't really matter if that person is a Newbie or a Legendary for what we know he might be the oldest person on the forum who just created an account and got the Newbie rank. It is mostly on how the person is from the inside. That person had a good heart which made him refund the money back.
That is a normal behavior and we shouldn't be surprised of it. In fact we should be proud that our forum still has many good people in it who are there for others in need of it.

Though my experience was kind of non-crypto related as I used third-party digital payment system to do such transaction, there is a local app in our country that can be used to send money people to people through their SMS number.
I had a buyer who send me like too much money where he sent $200 instead of $20 as he tapped extra zero, and he was like scared to death like in a panic state where he continued to send continuous message to my FB inbox, and of course if I was like an a-hole, I would just block the person but meh, I ain't that kind of person. I sent the extra money back to that person I dealt with.

It's hard to earn other people's trust with money, that's for sure. I have no experience of how people trust me with money. But if it's not my right, then returning it to its owner is one of the things I would do. This is normal for me. Returning something that doesn't belong to us is a gesture that deserves appreciation regardless of what your current rank is.

I concur. One would expect that the majority of people on the forum would be honest about it, and doing the ethical thing should almost be the given. Hypercommending the case, kind of gives the impression that the opposite would have been expected to be the norm, and although often faceless is shameless, we hopefully wouldn’t expect not giving it back that to be a major pattern (although I wouldn’t like to see where people’s threshold lies before turning).

I also concur, I would really like to think and hope that the majority of users on the
forum would do the same as EZ0010 if they were in that position. Well done to EZ0010
for the positive attitude.

On EZ0010, its a pity they are not more active on the forum with only 5 posts since
December 09, 2020. They are already well trusted and merited.

It's so rare to find someone like that who still has the kind of heart to return something that doesn't belong to him especially a large money. I think it's not about the rank or standing in the society that matters, if you have a kind heart you would have returned it back to rightfully owner. No need to boast if you are just a newbie or legendary since not everyone knew this forum and it's not just for BTC that has been lost that we could be thankful but for someone who could actually return something despite of this pandemic situation.

That is truly an amazing attitude of a person and that is too rare to find.
I may consider that as a gift if that will happen to me but of course, I do the same and I return it to the rightful owner. Because we are sure that it was important for him/her, and we don't have the right to spend it unless if literally it gives you but that was an accident.

All have the right to do it, it doesn't matter what rank we are in the forum but what matters is that we know ourselves that we are honest and have nothing to prove publicly.

Although I don’t like praising this case too much, simply because (perhaps naively) is what I’d think most people would do, there is that added factor of the account being a Newbie, meaning by that, that he didn’t have anything on the line, and could have easily kept the Sats and started afresh, if at all.

[JoyMarsha]

When you're being honest to someone or something you do, you will always be sincere in whatever you say or do to people. Just a simple act of being honest earn him much appreciation of merits.
I was overwhelmed when I see the number of merits given to him, just for a simple comment of honesty

It seems that EZ0010 made a huge impact on this community by returning a BTC mistakenly send to his address and he return it immediately.
And also he is the Idol of some users herein forum
Take a look at this
my version of honesty
MISTAKE TIP 3.8 BTC
I think there's more to be followed.

It's rare for a newbie to act like him in a forum, especially when it comes to money. I believe you need to use that as an excuse as to why you should have an honest attitude here even when you are a newbie or a high rank bounty hunter.

People are an extension of their real self on the forum not minding their ranks, they can't give what they don't have. I have experience similar situation were overpaid individual return the funds to me when contacted. We should normalized things like, that's how we are might to behaved as humans. That they're not much good ones left doesn't mean you shouldn't be good. You can be the reason humanity believe in good people.

There's no gain in taking what isn't yours. Already people are facing a hard time understanding the industry without proper guidance. Mistakes can be easily made here since transaction are not reversible, don't be a reason why people regret joining the forum or industry. Also don't do good because you'll be rewarded, do it because it's the right thing to do.

[_BlackStar]

-snip- Also don't do good because you'll be rewarded, do it because it's the right thing to do.

Thanks for suggesting something I should have heard earlier this year @CryptopreneurBrainboss. It's true that doing good and being honest is something that everyone should have, but if it's done just to get a reward or something else that benefits him then I'm sure sincerity is not his.

Today's best quote from you for me and others is ^{[do what you think is right and never expect anything in return].}

[solusum]

Amazing! Made my time! Honesty wins hearts, honesty wins souls, being honest in today's time is a rare quality indeed, and it is never wrong when we say that what goes around do comes around! it's so much awesome to see how there are people with so much good heart in the world, surely they are the ones keeping the faith in humanity alive

[Rengga Jati]

In my opinion, not all honesty will be rewarded with merits. There may be only certain honesty that will get it.
And for that case, yeah, he deserves the merits because that is something very big, related to money that is very much. We can say that he is a very honest person and he may only do what he can do.
However, in this case, I don't concern to the merits given and got, I concern on how honesty. And about shitposters, of course, wherever, it cannot be compared with something honesty. Honesty is an attitude, behavior of someone that is owned. But shitposts may be also created by some honest people, but not willing to learn or they only do whatever they want.
I am not sure that all honesty will be rewarded by merits once again. It will dpeend on what kind of honesty.
