I think the dude that keeps spamming intensively youtube with hack generator videos must be a kid. I think only a kid without much other income and plenty of time would be doing something like this. Anyway, we must definitely stop this kid. This is so annoying. Whenever I search bitcoin on youtube 90% of the videos are of his BS hack generators.  Argh!!! We must unite to stop this scam. Imagine, how many people are getting the idea that bitcoin is hackable. People already fear that the network may be hackable and not secure enough. With this BS people will get even more fear and reluctance. This is an unacceptable denigrate for us all. We must stop it now!!! What exactly would you like to see when you youtube bitcoin hacking or whatever you searched? |
Some people are so poor ALL they have is money

Youtube is doing a good job at taking down reported videos. These videos appear when you search under the keyword Bitcoin alone... so its not likely youtube will display a generic warning. One thing we can do is have volunteers report the videos more, or make it a gamify the reporting where they are rewarded to taking down the videos. |

That is a good idea. But how would it work. How can someone prove it is him who is putting the video down? |

YouTube is full of kids who are just hitting their puberty. Nothing new about that. And they do like their 'hacker' scripts. Nothing new. Well, it's the beauty of Bitcoin, it can't be hacked. It's cryptography. You'd have to break the mathematics behind them. Good luck winning a milleniums-prize! |

I heard somewhere that a certain division of employees at youtube have a quota of videos that they need to remove per day. It shouldn't be too hard to get these taken down, but there will be more popping up right after.
There are fake generators for anything you can think of on there (i.e. itunes cards, probably even facebook games)

I just flagged the top 10 results for 'bitcoin generator', if you report it to youtube as scam/fraud and they should get taken down pretty quickly!!
What if people just report legit links though? Cant people sabotage stuff this way? I think this is why reporting individual links has very little effect. Google uses automation to approve and take down most videos. There are just too many videos that need to be looked at for a human to look at all of the flagged videos. There are also too many ways to like/flag a video in an automated fashion that having a few "flags" will make a difference. |

It seems to me like any kid or scammer with access to Visual Basic wants to make these kinds of generators. And put RAT's or keyloggers into them since that's the fad... But hey, bitcoin IS hackable  I mean, there's only 2^60 possible addresses. And about 2,554,694 addresses in use. Guess enough addresses and you're sure to hit the right one sometime in the next hundred years. |

whoever falls to that kind of scam deserved to be scammed, because they want to take advantage on other people.
But the problem is that it may cause confusion among newcomers, and be FUD fuel

But if people keep the good practice of changing their coins to a new address often it becomes much harder. It's always wise to keep our coins moving as it gets much more harder to hit a moving target. |

It's always wise to keep our coins moving as it gets much more harder to hit a moving target. True. On a different forum, someone was explaining bitcoin to a newcomer and explained how anonymous it was. Couldn't be traced and such. The newcomer asked how was it anonymous? And the guy posted two addresses saying "Tell me the name of who owns these addresses". It took me about a minute to find the people. So moving bitcoins is both good to keep them protected, and good to keep yourself protected. |

I strongly agree with you, this should be stopped. or we will find BTC in a sad state, discarded and not considered again |

We just need everyone to report it when they see it I've reported around 4 and I think they have been taken down so youtube is paying attention.

Yeah, there are no 'hacks' for Bitcoin. It is secured by mathematics for a reason. If there really was some kind of hack or way to manipulate the balances or transactions, people far more sophisticated would have done it before! Yeah, they just want attention here I guess. So sad!

Seen these videos myself when I have done searches on YouTube and they are really annoying especially when the majority of videos are from this guy. He is either a kid in his bedroom with nothing better to do or just a lonely guy with no life trying to scam people fro easy cash, either way he is not worth the time of day.
