Most honest forum user

[Perfectbaby]

Who do you think is the most honest forum user? And why?

I don't know how you defines your honesty. But to me I can say any one whom we (you) can entrust fund or money with, we can say that person is honest. Therefore I can easily say that campaign managers are the most honest people on the forum. For instance; Hhampuz, yahoo62278, Icopress, AB de Royse777, Little Mouse, Julerz12 and cryptoprenuerBrainboss. These people can be termed as honest people since they handle funds and pay out to the various users accordingly to how their rewards are without any compromise. Maybe there are others which I have never personally seen involving themselves with transaction with people here.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Yahoo, nutildah, lovesmayfamilis, and DdmrDdmr. I would like to remember o_e_l_e_o as well because he was one of them. There are a lot more.

Yep, there are a lot more and probably more than we know because they haven't proven themselves by being presented with a situation like EZ0010's where, by returning $1000 made himself noteworthy enough for taking the high road that Findingnemo actually remembered that case.

As someone else said, are we talking about honesty or trustworthiness (especially with money) here?  Because there's a huge difference between telling Theymos what you really think and potentially insulting and/or pissing him off and the cash-register-type of honesty that campaign managers like yahoo62278 and a few others have consistently exhibited.

I'm not going to offer up any names, lest others think I've forgotten their good deeds or don't appreciate them.  If you want names, just check out my sent trust list and you'll get a good idea.

Opportunities like this are just very rare. How often have you had the chance to take $1000 from someone you don't knjow without anyone knowing it's you and without any chance of getting caught? I expect many people to take it, but the few who wouldn't will most probably never get this "opportunity".

[Shishir99]

You make a good point. You can't verify if something is true, but if it's not, you may be able to catch someone in a lie. I've mentioned it before in the context of mixers: if you catch someone in a lie, you can never trust him again.

I'm not nominating anyone. I'm pretty sure we only see what people want us to see.

Yes. If we have to nominate someone, it won't be easy because we don't know if someone is honest or not. There is no way we can check if they are honest or not. So, If I know you just online and I don't know you in real life, then I don't know if you are an honest person or not. So, there is no way I can nominate anyone if I don't know them in person.

But if I ask you to nominate some trustworthy person, I know you will be able to nominate dozens of forum members. There are a lot of forum members whom I will be able to trust with thousands of dollars.

I'm going to disagree here. I'm not in Bitcoin to trust people, and there are only very few people on this forum who I'd trust with $1000. Let me put it this way: if you select 3 dozen people, send each of them $1000 with the agreement to return it after a week, I think you'll end up with $35k or less.

Yes - you are right, LoyceV.

Someone can be trusted with $1.
Someone can be trusted with $10.
Someone can be trusted with $50.
Someone can be trusted with $100.
Someone can be trusted with $500.
Someone can be trusted with $1000.
Someone can be trusted with $1000+.

Each of them can still be trusted with different amounts of money - of course, the higher the amount of money involved, the fewer people can be trusted. Especially with those who just use pseudonyms ^{[bitcointalk username]} - it's really hard to trust many users with $1000 or more.

I think that I am most honest forum user

because I never participated in bitcointalk's tricky contests with fake bots

[Ambatman]

We can't tell who's the most but I guess everybody can show what they believe is honesty.
A person that's honest with money doesn't necessarily mean they are with other Informations or datas.
In essence we can't tell who's the most honest person in the forum or the world.
We can only tell biasly with our personal experience or knowledge.

The most honest should be someone who doesn't give and F and speaks nothing but the truth.
Let's take the case of the super noobie, what he did went above been honest into doing the right thing.
If he had just brought it up that he received it but doesn't plan on returning.
He was very Honest doesn't mean it was the right thing.

In summary Honesty is quite controversial, since It means speaking the truth but what if the perceived truth is false.
I think trustworthy should be used,  not most perse but individuals we think we can trust with certain actions.
The most honest person to me? Well I can't really tell since I really don't "know" anybody

[LTU_btc]

Why there should be one specific user who is most honest. Picking one such user for me is like telling my favourite movie song, or who is the most beautiful girl. It's something what I can't do. But I'm glad that we have so many people who have great reputation here.
But it's not all about reputatioin and similar things. I like people who are straight and aren't afraid to share their opinion, avoiding polit correctness and don't gives a f*cks about what people will think about them.

Your actions, activities, attitudes and behaviors are what can determine this, and I mean trustworthiness. You cannot judge yourself without proving this to yourself before proving it to everyone else.. Unfortunately, your trust ratings suggest that you are not right in this matter, regardless of your not-right claims about Bitcointalk contests.
---
In any case, it would be unfair if I mentioned just one person or a few names while unintentionally leaving out others. This post could be very long if I mention the names of trustworthy people who are most likely honest and their prominent stances. Therefore, I will refrain from mentioning anyone. A trustworthy person will be easy for others to recognize based on their long history, transactions, reputation... etc.

You seem to have a low criteria for honest people...  although, I'd hope you would have figured that out by now.

People are either honest or not.  There's no degree or scale.

The reality is that we're all dishonest to some extent and anyone who claims otherwise is being dishonest.  I would never lie about my intentions, but if my girlfriend asked me if those jeans make her butt look big I'd lie like rug.  

Yep, there are a lot more and probably more than we know because they haven't proven themselves by being presented with a situation like EZ0010's where, by returning $1000 made himself

That's not honesty, per se, it's a display of integrity.  I would say that people with integrity are honest more often than not.

Who do you think is the most honest forum user? And why?

I'm not sure whom to call the most honest forum user as there have been many users who have shown honesty time after time. But, I can surely say that there are some reputed members of the forum whom I trust from core of my heart, and those people are very generous and kind, and honest.

I've personally seen honesty and generosity of Icopress and I believe he's one of the most honest managers/members of the forum. I've been in his managed signature campaigns for so many weeks and I can surely say that he sent the payment of the each week on time. That's enough to notice the trustworthiness and honesty of someone.

Although, there have been no actual trades with The Sceptical Chymist or anything related to payments or etc but he's also a very generous and helpful member of the forum. And, similarly I used to be part of signature campaigns managed by Royce and I can say he's also a trustworthy manager/member of the forum.

Other than the mentioned members, I do trust some other members of the forum from core of my heart but I haven't done any trades with them. JJG, and Philipma1957 are the OG's that I trust and I've learnt some valuable things by reading their posts.

Gleb/Bruno was a friend.

He was a scammer

Yes hon, it's the jeans. Just the jeans, this has nothing to do with you at all.

That's not honesty, per se, it's a display of integrity.

That is a better word indeed. Not being a native English speaker has it's limitations, and I even Googled for the right word.

I would say that people with integrity are honest more often than not.

Lying is far too difficult: imagine you'd have to remember everything you ever made up, different stories for different people. I don't have time for that

Absolutely ridiculous. LoyceV is a spineless weasel who supports extortionists and spreads lies.

Cute. Stake pays you for saying the same thing over and over again?
For the reader who didn't follow OgNasty's way of spreading dirt about me in completely irrelevant topics for years: he does this every once in a while. Always without evidence, because he has none. Usually I ignore him, sometimes I respond with facts that shut him up for a couple of months again. He'll never respond to facts. Fun fact: he's received a temporary ban for making bodily harm threats.

Be sure to grab some popcorn before reading all the links:

That's cute, you're trying to insult me with this:

(source)

Did you not read my personal text?

It's okay you don't like me. Really, it's okay. But you're posting in the wrong topic, try this one. It would also be nice if you stick to just one topic, I wouldn't want to end up like your feud with Vod, but you seem to enjoy attacking my reputation in many topics for months now. It's a cheap trick though, you know I won't respond to your off-topic allegations in other topics, so you're hoping some of it will stick.
What was it again you threatened me with by PM? Something about feeling insulted (by facts!) and threatening with negative feedback for your hurt feelings? Shortly after, you were excluded from DT.

People like you who have had next to no real trustworthy interactions here shouldn’t even be in DT

This is gold, coming from the person who put me on DT when DT1 was still centralized. You must miss those times.
For the record: you've never been on my Trust list.

I didn't delete your rant because this part is on-topic. Incorrect, but on-topic:

You and suchmoon are just as scummy as Vod in my opinion, only you do so in the shadows. That’s why I excluded you from my network.

In reality, you removed me from your Trust list because I didn't support you in your feud with Vod, and you excluded me in retaliation for my exclusion. Let me quote myself on this:

~OgNasty
Threatens me by PM to give negative feedback because he doesn't like my post.

I don't consider this correct use of the Trust system, and neither does theymos judging by his quote a bit higher in this post.
I would like to post his PM, but this is generally considered not done so I won't.
Update: OgNasty didn't take long to retaliate, which is quite funny considering he had me included up to 5 days ago. Just like most of his Trust exclusions are mutual. Funny how stating facts makes him not like my judgement.

The users excluding me aren't really Bitcointalk's crème de la crème anyway:

To stay on-topic: OgNasty is definitely not a honest forum member. It must hurt him nobody mentioned him

[Bitcoin Cash]

After reading the entire topic, I came to the shocking conclusion

There is not a single honest person here. Everyone is involved in something dishonest.

I've personally seen honesty and generosity of Icopress and I believe he's one of the most honest managers/members of the forum.

icopress?   Are you kidding? If only you knew what dirty methods he uses in his competitions....

I think I would trust LoyceV the most. Long history of being a reasonable person.

Absolutely ridiculous. LoyceV is a spineless weasel who supports extortionists and spreads lies. Amazing that people look the other way at his behavior. You would be wise to never trust him with your BTC.

LoyceV is a typical opportunist, always acts on the sly. For the sake of his reputation he will betray anyone

nutildah

What is this troll doing here? "Mr. Serious McNutildahlly" 

o_e_l_e_o

I never trusted him

suchmoon.

Are you kidding? It's Lauda, a greatest scammer of bitcointalk

OP, you can close the topic. There is not a single worthy person here.

[OgNasty]

To stay on-topic: OgNasty is definitely not a honest forum member. It must hurt him nobody mentioned him

If only you knew how little I cared. It is just that those of us who know have somewhat of a responsibility to speak the truth on occasion. When it comes to people actually trusting someone, you can’t compare your forum manipulation with the tens of thousands of BTC I’ve successfully escrowed for users here. Money talks…

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Curious to say the least that a thread about the most honest forum members is being monopolised by two clearly dishonest forum members. This shitcoin cash who does not hide his vanity:

I think that I am most honest forum user

And the friend OgNasty, who tries to pretend that he doesn't care but by his actions makes it clear that he does.

[ChiBitCTy]

Krogo and Loyce. Their names speak for themselves.  That said I trust plenty of other people and a handful and a half or so I trust with absolutely blind faith .. I can’t not see them being buddies for life, but that list is for a more sappier thread lol

Edit to avoid an apparent debate over words lol: trust / honesty go hand in hand with me

[Bitcoin Cash]

Krogo and Loyce. Their names speak for themselves.

Loyce has access to all the functions of the forum (there is even a myth that he can read the PM's). What is his merit? That he rub in the trust of the admin and received super-access to the forum functions?

Loyce doesn't help anyone. Loyce is a selfish entity that promotes only himself and brags about his technical capabilities. Loyce thinks only about himself and doesn't give a shit about newbies.

Power corrupts. A person shouldn't have so much power. Especially for such shady slippery person as Loyce

generosity of Icopress

lol  

In all the time I've been living on this forum, I have never experienced his generosity on me. What is this mythical generosity of the icopress that is praised here? Explain, I don't understand.
