Buying of account in this forum is totally unnecessary, even though the forum is not against it, but it'll be like not following the due process to grow the account. Especially for newbies who don't have any experience about Bitcoin and altcoins, they'll find it very difficult to cope with the expectations of a ranked up member. It'll be ridiculous if the newbie were to ask a question that the bought account should know, and it'll make a mockery of the account.
The only instance that I can imagine for an account to change Hands is if the owner of the account perhaps for health reasons can not continue to be active in the forum. Maybe he can let somebody else that will have the experience to post on the level of rank of the account to take over, since the forum allows it.
Topic: Don’t Buy Bitcointalk Account as a Newbie (Read 436 times)
The simple truth is that you can get to buy an account but you see that hard work that you are scared of, you will definitely end up doing it one way or the other because the possibility of the account surviving the pressure from being undetected still falls down to how hardworking you are which ofcourse one can never be too careful and at the long run you just end up losing the account and still not get accepted into a signature campaign or even worse your spirit to continue with a legit means would be broken to the core.
I don't see any reason why someone would want to buy an account in this forum except for cheating or selfish reasons that are probably going to be scams.
Asides cheating,I can help you with one major reason among many. Which is, they want to jump the gun! They think it's stressful growing an account in the forum from scratch and they just needed an already made, so in no time they can get acceptance into a signature campaign.If not for a signature campaign what else could make a newbie or anyone buy an account when he can freely create one and grow it even as the user will gradually also grow in knowledge too.
Funny thing is, even users with bought account could still make it to this thread and make condemnation replies about account buying. Lol
What do you expect? it's the internet and such act is normal as no one can verily place that such person condemned aslo did same thing. It's a common feat for humans to condemned something that they are also part of especially when they have gone free with the same act but just like you said, the truth is you can buy an account and yet still not meet your goals because whether you like it or not you must learn and posting of quality is a must to ensure campaign and besides the merits don't hang around forever which is a very interesting part of this community as we tirelessly get to contribute to stay updated.

Before someone decides to buy an account in the forum the person is already aware of the dangers of having an account that is originally owned by someone else and the person intention is nothing but to get what he or she didn't wo3k hard for which is the opportunity of getting in to a signature campaign to make money. Scam is possible if the person is smart enough to convince and deceive other members but I think from the writing of some accounts it is still very easy to dectate an account that has changed hands and I'm happy we have some good members who takes time to fish out those accounts that has actually changed hands.
This community is for everybody that I have passion in Bitcoin but the process whereby you does not have a passion in Bitcoin I don't think that there is any needful for you to join the community so the community is meant for people who have interest in Bitcoin on the who is ready to create an impact that will elevate Bitcoin in future and they make it to be well known...... for the aspect of buying account by a beginner I don't think that is encouraging for someone who is a beginner to buy account, so I want to ask what will be the objective of the Beginner Who mindset is to bought account that means the person is not interested to learn anything that relate with Bitcoin the motive of the person is to milk the community
The selling of accounts is discouraged by the forums. Someone can sell their account only when they have multiple ones and can not handle them. However, some complications may arise because of the new owner. The old user maintained a high profile and quality posting, but the new owner may not maintain that quality, which could drop the value of the account. There are many other aspects that could be disturbed, and I would not advise a newbie to buy a high-ranking account because they are inexperienced and do not understand the value of merits and the dignity of the forum. It would be advisable for them to work on their account, gaining experience and information about the forum, and gradually increasing its level.
Is people still buying bitcoin talk account for what ?
It is safe to assume that there is still a market for Bitcointalk accounts given how much time and effort it takes to reach for example the Sr. Member rank, let alone Hero or Legendary (the latter takes approximately 3 years).If I had to guess why, it's probably either for joining signature campaigns or attempting to scam someone, which is much easier to do with a high rank account.
I don't think the next account handover user will be honest as much as previous real owner of account with other members on forum and I guess anyone who takes the quick route to get a higher rank easily without learning anything from here either sr-legendary member by buying with the purpose of enrolling into sig campaign or to grab other benefits like loan service etc cannot be trusted imho.
4. Making Low quality posts:
The experience and creativity garnered during the growing process will be lacking. Sometimes you see some posts from high level members looking weak and poor, due to laziness to properly research.
I think there are so many other Reasons why you shouldn’t buy an account but this is just as I’ve known.
It’s not advisable as a newbie to buy an account.
You can add other general disadvantages that concerns everyone.
Seeing weak post from high ranking accounts sometimes obviously shows there are some inconsistencies around such accounts and it should be checked but sometimes it could still be laziness to researching. For newbies it's not an ideal thing to do, that you will get engaged in buying of an account already grown to a good rank, you may actually encounter reputation issues when it becomes obvious that there's a change in ownership of such accounts.

Not only newbies but also other members because when you buy an account, they are many things involved. Like the way the real owner was handling the account will be different from the new owner. And once detected, it will attract tags. Then was the first owner handled the account clean? And if is no and another issue again. I don't advise anyone to buy account because you will face many things in the forum. And if you are not a good poster, you will end up damaging the account. If the person was a good poster and you are not then problem starts from there before other changes. Some will say, you have damaged your brain and that is why you are not posting like before again.
This is good advice for everyone here, both newbies and the senior members, especially newbies, that they didn't know anything about how the forum works. I will never advise them to go and buy an account from there followers member; it is a wrong decision, because if a newbie buys an account like a full member account, it will be very hard for him to proceed with the account. The reason is that it will know the background on how the forum operates, talk less of replying to a thread.
It is not too hard for newbies to manage bought accounts with high ranks if they are simply spamming in the forum. It's different that they intend to buy high rank accounts for joining good signature campaigns that always require quality from applicants then participants.Newbies who are unable to rank up their accounts, but found solutions of account purchase, will not be able to make quality post. Hence they will not be able to join good campaigns.
In their efforts of trying to make good and quality posts, they can try to make foolish threads, posts that catch attention of forum members. It brings side effects and forum members after checking these suspicious accounts, can find evidence of bought accounts. When it is reported, these accounts will become more or less useless.

The forum is open to all as much as Bitcoin itself is open to all but there are some things that shouldn’t be done.
Buying an account as a newbie is like jumping high school to go to college ( you’ll just be floating)
Some of the effects of buying an account includes;
1. No Proper Knowledge:
A while back there was this post where a hero member was asking a question about merits which he isn’t supposed to, his question just exposed him and proved that he didn’t grow that account. In his defence he said he’s been away for a long time but no matter how long, if you’re truly the owner who got to Hero member level you won’t forget how the merit system works.
You miss the learning process, where you gather all confidence, Rules and regulations, experiences, a whole lot.

Honestly buy an account is just like some that jump in to the college without having Nursery or primary knowledge, and what can we think it will be the end of person that buy account a background knowledge i think at end of the day the account will getting banned by the moderators of this forum.
Those who are in a haste to acquire an already established account raise questions. What exactly is their motive? Are they seeking benefits or trying to scam people by appearing trustworthy?
You know it's not easy to build a reputable account in the forum; it requires time, energy, and dedication. For someone to want to bypass this process, there's already a red flag. Similarly, when someone sells their established account, it raises suspicions. What went wrong after working hard to build it? Why sell it off?
Buying an account is not advisable because both parties usually have ulterior motives, which are unclear. It's best to take your time and work your way up the ladder. It's more profitable and safe.
The DT members of the forum are not foolish to not notice that an account has changed hands. One thing i have known about here in the forum is that there is nothing hidden under the sun. But sometime because of minor mistakes people tend to link accounts that are not theirs to their own. Irrespective of the proves that are being shown, sometimes the verdict is wrong, and a tag will be giving to such person. What am saying in essence here is that, when it comes to buying/selling account. Of course, the buyer and seller have different ways of reasoning and perhaps a sense of humor. One way or the other member will figure it out that the account owner has changed. You know it's not easy to build a reputable account in the forum; it requires time, energy, and dedication.

This depends on what you mean by reputable. A true owner of an account can still not have a good reputation in the forum. If he violates other forum rules, he still will receive equal punishment like another.
I didn't know that bitcointalk accounts can be bought and sold. Does someone work so hard to achieve a high rank to sell an account?
Before the forum introduced the merit system, all it took to reach any rank was time and posts, and there are certainly thousands of accounts from that period that could potentially be made available at some point. Today, without merits, you cannot reach a single rank, so that "job" is quite difficult for those who "make" accounts in order to sell them.
Newbies can't reply properly. So if you think about it, the reach of a high-ranking account will be completely down. Will that user be considered a signature competent later? I think buying a bitcointalk account is not a stupid thing to do?
Newbies have some limitations and that's true, but some of them can be bypassed if they buy Copper rank or just get 1 merit and become Jr. Member.
As for whether or not it's stupid to buy a BTT account, you obviously haven't read all the posts in this thread - because ranks are supposed to show your level of knowledge and skills - and if you buy a Hero or Legendary rank today and continue to act like a Newbie, isn't that stupid?
I think there are so many other Reasons why you shouldn’t buy an account but this is just as I’ve known.

Is people still buying bitcoin talk account for what ? Old account that shows the date of joining to impress colleagues that i trusted bitcoin from early days to flex like they are og's in crypto or something or was just smart enough to invest in bitcoin way back then, joining for sig campaign for earning some penny purpose?
In general i don't think taking off someone's effort who built good reputation over here buying that account for earning purposes from signature campaign will not work forever will get trust red painted atleast anyway at end if the pattern of writing style looks suspicious to the DT members or else. Afaik trustless account has no value. And i guess a newbie who works out on his own to build his/her profile from scratch will probably be seen more trustworthy in the end.
So not sure if there are still people who buy accounts here.
Perhaps one reason though is to run a scam, specially if they will buy like a old Legendary account. Nevertheless, most of us here have been in this community for the last 7 years that we can smell if a account is bought and there are a lot of great members here who can do a full investigation and see that it really change hands already.
I agree. This might be the only reason to buy a reputable account and shield their potential campaign to run (can be scam). If an account that old and good in standing becomes someone account its quite hard to dispute that one unless the new owner can proof his the legit owner by signing, but what if he can and sign it comes with a package of the account for sale inclyding wallet associated with it.Perhaps one reason though is to run a scam, specially if they will buy like a old Legendary account.

We can now only hint based on post style.
Regardless of your position, it's still discouraged in the forum to buy or even sell an account. Most especially for newbies where you should focus more on acquiring basic knowledge and information so you can understand the nature of bitcoin and its market itself.
Now, if your purpose is to participate and earn from a signature campaign, then the more that you should know bitcoin well and take the learning process.
Remember that, signature campaign aims to provide quality and valuable posts that will educate the reader itself, and any newbie in position won't be able to achieve that without taking much time learning and understanding not only the forum but most especially bitcoin and all its stuff that revolves around the crypto market.
Your are right Buying or selling accounts is discouraged here. If anyone is new here so he/she should focus on learning about Bitcoin and its market first. If they want to participate in signature campaigns so they should make helpful posts and this they need to understand Bitcoin. They should give time to learn basics and they should follow forum rules. Good posts require knowledge and effort. Invest time learning and they will contribute well and succeed in signature campaigns. If they come only to earn money this place is not for them.

To be honest, I did not saw much cases about people getting caught after long time that they aren't the real owner although saw some topics started in marketplace where they tried to sell account and I saw one site too where they listed accounts (not details) but only rank and price.
I think it was easy before, but after adding 2FA as an additional layer of security in the forum, attempting to hack accounts has become more difficult.. I am certain that those who sell these accounts have somehow hacked them. With the continued restrictions on those who sell these accounts and the spread of fraud cases of people who bought accounts and their seller was able to recover them through the Bitcoin address listed in the sold account or through other security methods or after these people obtained accounts of bad reputation, or after they paid money and got nothing in return, people's certainty has increased that whoever sells forum accounts aims to make money in illegal ways. If he had a Full, Sir, hero or legendary account, why didn't he use it to earn some money by posting valuable content? Everyone started from the first rank and with time was able to develop his account through effort and high-quality contributions. There is nothing difficult or impossible for those who challenge themselves to succeed, and whoever wants the easy will undoubtedly be a victim of fraud one day and may lose the respect and trust of the community.
I think there are so many other Reasons why you shouldn’t buy an account but this is just as I’ve known.
It’s not advisable as a newbie to buy an account.

These are some good points and I don't think till now I saw any topic like this before so yeah it's a good topic for everyone to avoid buying and selling accounts. What's the real point in buying accounts besides the buyer wants to get accepted in some campaign. He/she won't learn anything like you said a newbie buying hero or legendary rank account and asking about newbie rules like merits, activity, or what BTC blockchain is then that is total disaster.It’s not advisable as a newbie to buy an account.

Then to save themselves they will use AI and will get caught easily.
