As previously said, precisely because I had already talked about the project it was not correct to delete everything and redo from scratch. The fake programmer had access to the creation of the web page and the social promotion campaign that included advertising the project etc. Creating an ICO is not like asking for money, you are free to participate or not and if the minimum budget is not met, the sums of money are returned. So at the expense of asking for money and "running away" an ICO has the obligation to return the money if the minimum budget is not satisfied .. Here and in other social networks I have never pushed people to invest to buy BLKB so your statements do not they are correct. The images of the team and other errors were part of the site, in fact I noticed them after the ICO campaign ended where I asked the programmer for explanations and I fired him. the web page including the ICO phase was in the hands of the programmer and for my short time (I have a company to follow outside of this project) I realized these errors late. As mentioned earlier, I thought that the whole website was not yet officially published and I thought that the programmer had only activated the pre-ICO / ICO campaign at that stage. You are free to believe what you want, but that's how things went.

Another thing I have never asked people to invest their money or register on Blokbro, each person has to act with their own head and decide if it is a service that will be needed in the future.

That is not entirely true. You promoted your pre-ICO/ICO token sale, both here and on other social media channels. It is the same as asking people for money.

hi everyone, in a few days the sale of BLKB will start. https://blokbro.com
The purchase is exclusive on the website, for April we will be on various exchengs.

Furthermore, at the time you began promoting your website here in February 2022 (as well on Twitter and other social networks), the fake team images were still part of the site. Your explanation that you were unaware of the "mess made by the fake programmer" is bullshit.

I am baffled by this. Why even start a project if you do not consider it worth putting your time and effort into it? That statement alone makes me think that this was just a failed attempt at quick money grab scheme, and not a serious undertaking. The point is, scam or no scam, it does not matter. Because if you (for whatever reason) do not consider a project a worthy challenge for you, you are better off doing something else and not wasting your time, or worse, asking people to invest their money in something you haven’t really figured out, or do not even care about.

I'm sorry you're baffled but I'm not saying it wasn't worth the time and effort .. (1 year and a half of work I think that's not cheap) I just said that understanding address-based KYC is very delicate and it is not well seen by the communities and therefore recreating everything would have taken a lot of time, and since I am alone to carry on this belief, I did not think it was worth remaking a site, recreating a coin, etc. because I had already spoken of the project with many people and I would have lost more credibility to change everything and therefore I was forced to continue in this direction of changes ...., I reiterate that the concept of KYC on the address in the future will be necessary for a global adoption of cryptocurrencies and this is my belief. Another thing I have never asked people to invest their money or register on Blokbro, each person has to act with their own head and decide if it is a service that will be needed in the future. I honestly do not care that Blokbro (BLKB) makes an economic "boom" with speculation but I am interested in bringing greater security to transactions because knowing who you are sending cryptocurrencies to to buy something or for a simple exchange can only bring more security and transparency to transactions globally.

I understand your reasoning .. but I believe that a person who really wants to launch a bogus or scam project, first checks all the details without making mistakes, and second does not make changes repeatedly on the site because in this way he avoids leaving as few traces as possible .. another thing does not put its identity on the site ...

None of your arguments hold water. Throughout history we have seen numerous examples of different types of scams. Some are pulled off by professional fraudsters with almost flawless execution, while others are less professional and more ridiculous work of amateurs. The mere fact that you disclosed your identity does not necessarily imply your honest intentions. More often than not, scammers use fake personal information to give themselves credibility and to mislead their victims.

I simply felt that for this small project it was enough to continue in this direction and see how people reacted because I know that the concept of KYC on the address is not well seen by the community and dedicate further time was not worth it. Regardless of the plagiarism and the mess made by the fake programmer, as I have always said, I'm not here to scam anyone and so much time to look for money. I wanted to see what the community thought.

I have received a lot of criticism regarding the KYC on the address but I believe that in the future it will be necessary for the full adoption of crypto around the world. I remember that many people of a certain level in 2016/2017 (e.g. the CEO of binance) were completely opposed to the current KYC and had declared that they would never include it in their exchenge ... now instead we find that they have fully adopted it .

This is completely irrelevant.

if I wanted to disguise and try to cheat people, I would have redone everything from zero taking care of every detail .. don't you think ?!
Maybe it was or would be to much work and you have done already to much for starting from scratch again.
You nearly have taking care of all details but a little misstake with the HTML files was the problem.
If you not have made this misstake i never would be found the plagiarism content.
And thats why we and a lot of Users are here that researching projects and investigate.

@holydarkness
Thanks for the great effort and Work

For the "plagiarism" issue and the whole debate, after a great clarification on your part, I admitted that what you say is right (I repeat my lawyer told me to clarify it, which I did). For point 2: I have not been able to realize why I do not dedicate my life only to this project, I have an activity to follow and many other work commitments. I asked this third person to build the site a certain way and we set a date for viewing. But he published the site and made the changes. when we got to the set date to view the result I discovered the whole mess. It is true what you say, I stated in my statements that I have mistakenly moved the HTML draft files, this is because when I discovered what happened I took the site off line and redone the work of the "fake" programmer .. in that situation he starts of his code mixed with mine. what was I supposed to do?! the name and the design and the token were already done .. what would you have done? I could have said at the beginning that a third person outside the team made trouble, but being the only person on the team it seemed obvious to me that mistakes had been made in moving files without blaming others not present in the site team. if I wanted to disguise and try to cheat people, I would have redone everything from zero taking care of every detail .. don't you think ?! I wanted to go on to see what people thought of this project of identification and verification of addresses .. but apparently, leaving out these messes, there is not much interest .. people prefer to be anonymous.

Yes, I'm an asshole
simply because I had commissioned the work of the web page to a third person paying for it. pity that the page published it immediately and I noticed some errors after a few months, just like the members of the team and other things that I went to correct. I think it is useless to continue explaining the situation, because you will continue to impute that it is a shady project and to continue to talk badly about it0. Everyone is free to think what they want.

I think I have to agree that at this point it became a bit... useless to continue explaining the situation, but not because we will continue to point out how shady this project is --because, well, it is--, it's because you kept turning around, spinning words after words that I think you tripped yourself all around your own statements.

Let's put this straight --and hopefully bury it all--, correct me if I'm wrong, but so far, the narrative provided by you goes like this:

You built the BlokBro project back in 27 January 2022 according to the oldest record archived by wayackmachine. To build this project, according to this statement and further clarified with this one and this one, which I shall translate with google so everybody can comprehend the situation without much confusion, said as below:

[...]
So if I support my thinking about "plagiarism" and you support yours, who is right? it's not a question of compensation or anything, but what's the right point ?!. Having a lawyer in the company I asked him and quickly explained all this and his answer and as mentioned above and I rely on what he told me. you define plagiarism when the work is associated with someone else and not the author (the author is defined as the one who has copyright) I believe that informing the public in the correct way, and not because you are a legendary or master user, appreciated by the Bitcointalk audience. So how do we solve all of this? what I asked was to simply remove this page.

Which is quite strange for a well certified lawyer working for a company to suggest as such, to file a defamatory case against a copyright violation because according to him, it is not violation because the original author never registered their work, quite strange that they didn't know how an author's right works, or what a prima facie of defamation requires to lock a case. Only after a huge effort to explain the situation to you that any author and any work of art --that includes web coding and publishing a paper-- automatically protected by law, worldwide, the "I rely on what he told me" became this,

[...]Given that my lawyer did not tell me to continue but to clarify how I am, it is I who want to understand the right ... and rightly so if I find myself with a person who tells me one thing and you what about another I believe that it is interesting to understand what the right point of view is.

[...]

Suddenly, all of those "as mentioned above and I rely on what he told me" --namely, the point of arguments made at least up to the statement was written: to file for defamation and get the authorities involved-- became "my lawyer did not tell me to continue" and you got down to the case, the whole regulatory article, three months period, authorities invoked, and such, by yourself.

check point number 1: the lawyer is now became Francesco Reboldi himself looking for a way to understand how to exercise his work, poorly if I may add, because I and Stalker22 could point out and educate ourselves about the automatic copyright protection with ease.

Rolling back a little bit, there is this fact of very supportive feedback that said you did a good work, one Italian, one Japanese-slash-Italian, and one your alt itself, which later found out to be... "people who work with you" and sympathize with your situation. It might be a fake feedback, or not, the jury is still... undecided about that --hint: sarcasm.

Now, moving further to the case. With the defamatory threat defused and the copyright-slash-plagiarism-slash-not-plagiarizing situation cleared, it is found that your site exercised fake team member. A further investigation I did told me that it's changed several times according to the 19 archives by waybackmachine, from seven to two, back to four, before ultimately goes into one and only Francesco Reboldi, not to mention the fake reviewers. When this facts unearthed, a statement followed:

[...]However, the programming behind the platform's functionality I managed and built, while the pagian web you found was handled by a third person who made that mess (and this is where the file modification occurred causing the plagiarism ) when I understood what he was up to, I proceeded to modify the site and dissociate myself from that person. When you take control of another person's casino this happens.

Check point number 2: so does all the incident of accidentally copy pasted codes, things sitting atop of another, etc. happens because you're too busy working alone, not to mention having to contact LockNess by yourself to demand for the depository, or did you hire a third person who made a mess?

The lengthy narrative aside, one immense question appeared following the fact provided above: how could you failed to realize that "the third person" you hired were using fake profiles and reviews for your site? Seven months, I repeat, seven months, January to August since the site went live with the said fake details up to this day, at least seven months went with either (1) you didn't check your own website for at least 7 months --and we're not talking about small details like typo here, it's glaring, it's literally sitting in the middle of the pages, and changed quite often-- or (2) you know, you just let it happen because well... I'd like to say the word, but it'll trigger us back to the square one and I'll have to write another narrative that took me hours to write. And whichever your answer is --unless you can procure a third, unexpected and very surprising, reason for those seven months-- another question should be asked: why should anyone trust a project who had a motivation as stated on the answer for the previous question?

@BlokBro, you have already admitted that metalcecco is your alt account. You used it to post fake positive reviews on your project and to oppose the raised flag. So why are you still arguing?

But here is a new topic we can talk about. What happened to your team? Looks like you are the only one left.

Wow, ok, I'll definitely tag this guy. I didn't know we have an archived page of his, so I didn't know that the original content was altered. Anyway, I can answer that question about what happened to the team. He removed them because they're... "plagiarized".

Here's our Mr. Adams Howard, who apparently is better known as Ashish Pradhan the president of Siegwerk India, as published by The Economic Times


BlokBro and his reactions have been a big red flag to me but that his project is really that shady, where he made up fake team members, I'm even a little bit surprised.
Good work for presenting the evidence here about BlokBro's shady business.


As for the team I am the only member as you can see from the website .. My website is completely different as you can see, ... but the timestamp of the page shows that there have been changes in the past.
Maybe your team members like Mr. Adams Howard were fired because they didn't show up for work?  Cheesy

Why your former colleague didn't show up in your list of team members?

As for the company, it is my company .. and I honestly don't know who used the e-mail .. maybe one of our collaborators who works in the office who is interested in the Blokbro project with whom I talked about "Plagiarism". I have talked and discussed with people and I am not surprised that someone has signed up to support me .. this does not imply that I have created the accounts.

if that is the evidence proving that all those accounts are mine, sorry but I really think those are not acceptable evidence for proof. You should have proof that those accounts created them myself or that at least they come from the same IP.
I don't need an IP address to tell that the accounts belong to the same person, whose motives here are not honest. Besides, most people here use Tor all the time.

but I believe that showing the identity would ensure that people are real and more credible (this is what I think).
But it's sad that those that claim to show their identity in order to ensure that they are real and more credible are the very ones carrying out shady practices more than the anonymous ones.

I have the archive here and here, but unfortunately web archiver can only log in as a guest on this forum --duhh-- and thus, the said information is protected by the forum. So, a screenshot should do. I've deliberately mark the forum timestamp, just to... add a little eligibility of the evidence.

.

About why an account who wrote a trust feedback in Japanese characters --I think it's hiragana, but I'm not a Japanese expert here-- actually registered under an italian email address, or if I may turn the situation, "why an italian registered email address wrote a feedback in Japanese instead of their own language?", is beyond my comprehension. I can only wonder if this is the same reason with uhh... certain someone who uses google translate to speak German.

But this is where things getting more interesting. You see, the email address used by igeble07 came from reboldimario[dot]it, the same detail for contact info also listed officially by reboldimario[dot]it, so it's kinda safe to say igeble07 really works on that company and have access to their email.



Now, it's been established here that metalcecco real name is Francesco Reboldi, and combing through the site, I found Francesco!



I don't know what's your opinion about this, but I personally think it is a good enough evidence to say that igeble07 at least works for you, if they're not you yourself.

As for Ylli, (un)fortunately he hide his email address from public, but seeing how: (1) he wrote in Italian, (2) his account was created only to write the feedback and gone inactive right after, with a, (3)creation date that's awfully close to igeble07, and how (4) above evidences heavily implies that igeble07 is related to you and (5) metalcecco is you writing a very positive and supportive feedback to yourself in way that took pretense that they're two different people, would it be too far fetched to think that he is also you, err... I mean your employee?

The whole debate for the term "plagiarism" is clear to me. What you are saying is not clear to me. metalcecco is my private and personal account (opened 3 years ago to seek help with the theft of BTC that I suffered through the support of Bittrex ...) The Blokbro registration is done on the project (I don't see where the problem is to have a 'private and public accout ... I also have them for both private and commercial social networks) This thing has already been said in the previous comments. the others should be users who follow me to whom I talked about this fact .. with your thoughts if they write other 5 or 10 people you will attribute these accounts to me .. Strange way of thinking.
To be precise, I am not deceiving anyone and I have explained everything clearly, this way of discrediting and continuing to say that a shady project is rather childish.
Having alts in the forum is allowed. What is not accepted is trying to game the trust system using them, and you just did that. What you did is yet another form of proof showing how deceitful and untrustworthy you are.

You are the one being childish here. Stop plagiarizing content from other projects, gaming the trusts system and blaming it on other people.
