You realize there's other communities on there
You talking to me? How does having other communities make StakeMiners more legit? Deflection much?
And his Crypto-city.com site is blocking IPs.
I have been a member here for a few months maybe. I have used this forum for a couple years. I have visited Crypto-city.com. I am not sure if I understand you guys. I saw the links to other forums, and you seem to be saying crypto-city is some kind of scam right? How exactly can a community driven website who does not collect payments be some kind of scam. I guess you could say that both this forum and the other one you guys keep referring to could also be scam sites right? They both allow scammers and unethical situations to occur on their site right? So, explain to me what makes those 2 websites any different from what you are accusing this site of?
Bitcointalk has a trust rating system. Not sure what other site you're referring to but if it's gethashing - they don't have self-moderated threads. Crypto-city is allowing scammers to moderate their own "communities". Sure bad things can happen anywhere. There is a big difference though between that and actively supporting such scams.
I think we all can agree the trust rating system here can not be trusted, I have read the horror stories. For example, this Gleb Gamow character has green trust and a very convincing scam thread against himself actually, where plenty of proof shows he was caught stealing from someone. Plus he admitted to it anyways so what better proof do you need than his own confession. So what makes him at all trustworthy to deserve green trust? There is plenty of other pretty disturbing stuff in that thread that is way more convincing than anything I have read posted from him so far in the 12 handfuls of threads he participates in religiously. Do you see what Gleb Gamow does, are the moderators here not allowing a self admitted thief to do as he pleases? In all seriousness what he does is a crime in itself, multiple ones actually, from cyber-bullying clear down to libel. Using this site as an example of a trustworthy community is like saying Silk Road was the best place to buy video cards for your computer.
What Scammers is Crypto-City allowing to moderate their own communities. The more important question is, if it is their own community why should they not be allowed to control who is welcome and who is not. If they do not want someone in a certain community bringing drama, and all someone wants to do is cause drama, why should it be allowed? What do you consider "supporting" scams?
I like
Crypto-City I have learned a whole lot more there in the little time I have been there than this place has offered in years. I like that you can actually have live chat with the community owners. It has so much more to offer services and coin developers than a regular forum can provide. What I really like is that there is none of this drama there. What I notice here is when new people actually need help with something, when they ask for assistance, they usually get yelled at, condemned, told not to do something. Rarely do you see a person actually get the help he asks for. At Crypto-City, I ask questions they are answered in live chat if I want. I don't have to wait a day, or week or even months and no response at all, I can get the answers right now. I even had help setting up wallets that I could not get to work, you can get Peers files or addnodes, these guys will actually take time out of a busy day to help you.
