You got it wrong. LoyceV doesn't have the privilege to access other users' IP addresses, but he shared a link where each forum member can view their own IP addresses for the past 30 days.

@Peanutswar: Check https://bitcointalk.org/myips.php

The screenshot you provided as evidence was not shared by LoyceV, but by Peanutswar.

Maybe because nobody knows whether or not I'm bored enough to look at IP in my server's logs.

LoyceV recently give the IP addresses...

Congratulations, you've discovered https://bitcointalk.org/myips.php!

LoyceV privilage

If you're looking for mud to throw, at least try to find something that doesn't make you look ridiculous

[Shenanigan]

Peanutswar said that LoyceV was provide an IP-adresses....

Nowhere does it say that LoyceV provided his own IP addresses

Question: whose IP addresses are these? Of third party?

That is not the only thing he has got wrong but it does not stop him being a nuisance under the guise of asking questions.

Ridiculous is the apt word. He obviously created this thread to for attention-seeking purposes because he has far too much time on his hands.

[Shenanigan]

Those are peanutswar IP addresses, Loyce gave him the link which he clicked to see his own IPs, if you click on this link  https://bitcointalk.org/myips.php you will also see your IPs.

Okay. Got it

But I have a next question about LoyceV

User Loycev has many more privileges and rights than a regular user. However, Loysev is not an even a global moderator. This is a potential threat to the security of the forum

I see that you keep writing things that you know nothing (or very little) about

Then tell us everything we don’t know about him, then we won’t ask such questions

Provide a full list of extra priveleges and rights of LoyceV. His capabilities on the forum clearly exceed those of the average user.

The honest public should know everything

Retention / Privacy info
About privacy

Each user can see list of latest IP addresses last 30 days and admins can have longer access. User can ticn retention to reduce IP logs and it is not recommended if you want it for account recovery later.

Account related settings, you can see

Limit IP retention:

Reduce the retention of your future logged IP addresses. This will make it far more difficult to recover your account if it is ever stolen; make sure that your email address is correct and that you have staked a public key.
Your logged IPs for the last 30 days.

LoyceV it's not a person, it's a machine or a bot, whichever name you prefer. Isn't it obvious, what kind of person can manage so many statistics, be active all over the forum, and give very competent comments... So a very sophisticated AI machine, specially adapted to this forum.

If we were to consider that it is a man, probably the biggest privilege he has is the DT1 membership. Or did you discover something else like this IP log?

[Vod]

His capabilities on the forum clearly exceed those of the average user.

Absolutely they do.   But he has no extra access or information you do not.

Why? What does it matter?
Unless they come forward and tell us what they did, we still don't know what mods / staff are doing in the background and who has access to what and who did what in general.

If you want to see your own IP address in the last 30 days, open profile, Account Related Settings. In the Limit IP retention: section there is access to view Your logged IPs for the last 30 days. You will see where your location was active for 30 days.

Screenshot of IP address shared by Peanutswar, possibly his own. To my knowledge, LoyceV may not be able to see the IP addresses of other people's accounts except perhaps admins can. Possible. Correct me If I'm wrong

He can whitelist IP addresses associated with "evil fee", but I guess you've know about that since it's been explained to you in the thread referenced above. Those "extra privileges" comes from the extra effort of providing so many useful features and tutorials on the forum. Though I wouldn't exactly call the capability to whitelist IP addresses from evil fee as a privilege.

[LoyceV]

I wouldn't exactly call the capability to whitelist IP addresses from evil fee as a privilege.

It's volunteer work.

Oh my god I found another forum vulnerability. Knowing Loycev’s passion for keeping logs, we can assume that he collects the email addresses of users who contacted him for whitelisting. This also comes with a risk for users. Risk of leaking their emails. Because Loycev does not provide any alternative for contacting about whitelisting other than contacting by email.

Database collecting, social engineering & blackmailing

I believe that a such huge amount of power and privileges should not be concentrated in the hands of one person.

The one who owns the information owns the whole world. This means he can dictate and impose his own conditions.

If you say that such super priveleges was given to LoyceV to fighting with scammers, then you are mistaken. Scammers need to be fought, but not by the cost of the privacy of honest users

[Vod]

LoyceV has a passion for parsing data for future use.

You can assume whatever you want (ass) but you should be more concerned about the forum administrator, who can collect very private information, and has used it to scam.

[LoyceV]

And anyone who contacts me, can keep my email address! If only I could create more than one email address....

Because Loycev does not provide any alternative for contacting about whitelisting other than contacting by email.

Lol. You're grasping at straws here. What do you want me to do, provide my snail mail address?

Great! My addy is in my profile. You know what to do

Why don't you bump my reputation thread, so you can keep all allegations at the right place?

I'm not sure what you're after, but I know for sure you have nothing on me. So good luck trying to find dirt If you read a bit more and post a bit less, you may learn a thing or 2. Many of your questions can be answered by reading instead of writing.

[Shenanigan]

Your email address for whitelisting is public. Feel the difference

Lol. You're grasping at straws here. What do you want me to do, provide my snail mail address?

Foolish man. The 21st century is upon us. Have you heard about Tox or Signal? Why do you force crypto-users to registering to old-school email services for whitelisting which are collecting logs for governments too?

You may be a scrupulously honest person, but that’s not the point. Any power turns any person into a corrupt monster. This amount of power should not be concentrated in one hand.

I guess... he can, but I figure he'll earn much much more flipping burgers if he's really in that dire need of money, or by doing faucet like newbies. I mean, buyers need a database of hundreds of users' email address, for how many dollars? And how high do you think is the rate of people contacting him about whitelisting on monthly basis? Not to mention the possibility that those people reaching him through disposable email. So yeah, I think those database is safe [if he keep any], so does people's privacy, he's not planning to sell any contact soon.

Those muds you have though, I think you can make a fortune by selling them to Louis Litt than slinging it in all direction.

[...] What do you want me to do, provide my snail mail address?[...]

You have pet snail? Ohh... you're talking about the old physical-mailing method. Still... do you have a pet snail, though?

[Shenanigan]

But he doesn't see IPs, only can whitelist accounts.

Now we move on to the next question

Here LoyceV proudly flaunts his statistics of whitelisted users
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5350260.0

Ehhhhhh. A new question arises. Where are the statistics of users whom he did not add to the white list? WHERE?

It turns out they can’t even complain about him or file an appeal for unfair non-addition to the white list

[The Sceptical Chymist]

What privileges does LoyceV have?

I'm happily married and have healthy kids

I don't think those technically count as privileges but more as blessings or being fortunate (assuming the marriage is good).  But what the hell do I know?

So this whole thing is a non-issue, I guess.  I was mildly concerned right up until I read FatFork's post and looked at the thread OP linked to, but now that it's pretty clear LoyceV hasn't been granted God-mode status by Theymos in the name of the CIA, the FBI, and all of the alphabet agencies across the globe, can the thread be locked now?
