Scammers tracking website - asking for ideas

[whitewhidow]

Although it's a good idea but it will take a lot of work, as others have already suggested you would have a hard time deciding who to trust, if someone accuses someone else of scamming, you need to have a way of getting to the bottom of the truth and prove before tagging them as scammers. If you have resources and you can do this, go ahead but make sure you have proofs before putting up names.

exactly. you would need a way of verifying that the erson providin feedback on a sepcific transaction, is in fact the peron owning the sending wallet, and the person receiving the money, to be te actul owner of the receiving wallet.
if you can verify this. then your good to go i guess no ?   bu t theres no way of doing this. .

so how about taking it a step higher, you could create a platform to do just that (dont ak me how) an whil i kno most ppl use btc BECAUSE its anon, but im sure there are many people that would benefit from a platform to vetify wallet owners, both owners and checkers would benefit obviously


edit: you CAN do this !!  

heres how, to verify a wallet owner. have them send 0.0000001 to a specific address. BOOM.  "veriied"

its how pp verifies your bnking account aswell


im liking this idea !!   someone better jump on ths before i do ...

Or simple signing a message , it is free and you can verify the ownership of that address. Why spend 0.0000001 BTC ?

There have been lots of websites with the same cocept as yours. The problem is, that there are sometimes fake notifcations etc. or the website is anytime not available more...

Maybe an API where you can allow other websites to integrate your service there so it'll be easier and the scammer
tags will be more painful and severe

Very easy to do. Assuming you are going to take the time to root out manually the scammers, all you would need to do is use wordpress or some other (maybe tikiwiki?) cms, and keep adding to it.

It would be easier to do it manually, IMO, and a human touch is always better then a situation where someone is falsely accused.

If you want webspace for this, let me know. I can help you out free of charge.

I like the idea of having a small community, maybe 5-6 people, running a wiki with profiles of known, potential and other types of malicious people/services, to look out for, to outright not to business with or to be cautious of.

Thanks for sugestion. I will try to implement a voting system and every user or address added will have 0 rating.
So you could add your own user/address and get trusted or not.
Unfortunately I only have 1-2 hours free/day. Will ask some help here if anyone has html skills, for a simple website design. I have a simple website template...will post pictures soon

What I am concerned is that scammers usually have different identities (easy to register a name) and address, even you mark them as scammers under some specific names, they will change to another one to carry on doing the scams. I suggest some features like linking the name to his logging IP address. I know there are some public places where are used by trusted and untrusted ppl at the same time. But wouldn't it be better if we know the IP address used by some scammers ? At least we will be cautious when dealing with those ppl from those IP!

If you ARE going to manually root out scammers, I'd love to help out with this service if needed haha
I wanna help the community!

same here, and can surely spare some dev hours here and there for the good cause

Hmmm. This would be neat, but easily abused. Who can edit it? Scammers could easily put false accusations against someone else. The trust system at bitcointalk is enough in my opinion.

I agree with here. I have seen as many false accusations as legit cases. Adding people to a list is sometimes warranted.

This guy to me is the biggest scammer in crypto https://twitter.com/CoyoteOfWallSt but others really like him. I have seen him scam a dozen people and stole from them.
