Who do you think is the most honest forum user? And why?
I'm not sure whom to call the most honest forum user as there have been many users who have shown honesty time after time. But, I can surely say that there are some reputed members of the forum whom I trust from core of my heart, and those people are very generous and kind, and honest.

I've personally seen honesty and generosity of Icopress and I believe he's one of the most honest managers/members of the forum. I've been in his managed signature campaigns for so many weeks and I can surely say that he sent the payment of the each week on time. That's enough to notice the trustworthiness and honesty of someone.

Although, there have been no actual trades with The Sceptical Chymist or anything related to payments or etc but he's also a very generous and helpful member of the forum. And, similarly I used to be part of signature campaigns managed by Royce and I can say he's also a trustworthy manager/member of the forum.

Other than the mentioned members, I do trust some other members of the forum from core of my heart but I haven't done any trades with them. JJG, and Philipma1957 are the OG's that I trust and I've learnt some valuable things by reading their posts.

People are either honest or not.  There's no degree or scale.

The reality is that we're all dishonest to some extent and anyone who claims otherwise is being dishonest.  I would never lie about my intentions, but if my girlfriend asked me if those jeans make her butt look big I'd lie like rug.  Kiss

Yep, there are a lot more and probably more than we know because they haven't proven themselves by being presented with a situation like EZ0010's where, by returning $1000 made himself
Opportunities like this are just very rare. How often have you had the chance to take $1000 from someone you don't knjow without anyone knowing it's you and without any chance of getting caught? I expect many people to take it, but the few who wouldn't will most probably never get this "opportunity".

That's not honesty, per se, it's a display of integrity.  I would say that people with integrity are honest more often than not.

I think that I am most honest forum user

because I never participated in bitcointalk's tricky contests with fake bots

You seem to have a low criteria for honest people...  although, I'd hope you would have figured that out by now. Tongue

Your actions, activities, attitudes and behaviors are what can determine this, and I mean trustworthiness. You cannot judge yourself without proving this to yourself before proving it to everyone else.. Unfortunately, your trust ratings suggest that you are not right in this matter, regardless of your not-right claims about Bitcointalk contests.
---
In any case, it would be unfair if I mentioned just one person or a few names while unintentionally leaving out others. This post could be very long if I mention the names of trustworthy people who are most likely honest and their prominent stances. Therefore, I will refrain from mentioning anyone. A trustworthy person will be easy for others to recognize based on their long history, transactions, reputation... etc.

Why there should be one specific user who is most honest. Picking one such user for me is like telling my favourite movie song, or who is the most beautiful girl. It's something what I can't do. But I'm glad that we have so many people who have great reputation here.
But it's not all about reputatioin and similar things. I like people who are straight and aren't afraid to share their opinion, avoiding polit correctness and don't gives a f*cks about what people will think about them.

We can't tell who's the most but I guess everybody can show what they believe is honesty.
A person that's honest with money doesn't necessarily mean they are with other Informations or datas.
In essence we can't tell who's the most honest person in the forum or the world.
We can only tell biasly with our personal experience or knowledge.

The most honest should be someone who doesn't give and F and speaks nothing but the truth.
Let's take the case of the super noobie, what he did went above been honest into doing the right thing.
If he had just brought it up that he received it but doesn't plan on returning.
He was very Honest doesn't mean it was the right thing.

In summary Honesty is quite controversial, since It means speaking the truth but what if the perceived truth is false.
I think trustworthy should be used,  not most perse but individuals we think we can trust with certain actions.
The most honest person to me? Well I can't really tell since I really don't "know" anybody

I'm going to disagree here. I'm not in Bitcoin to trust people, and there are only very few people on this forum who I'd trust with $1000. Let me put it this way: if you select 3 dozen people, send each of them $1000 with the agreement to return it after a week, I think you'll end up with $35k or less.
Yes - you are right, LoyceV.

Someone can be trusted with $1.
Someone can be trusted with $10.
Someone can be trusted with $50.
Someone can be trusted with $100.
Someone can be trusted with $500.
Someone can be trusted with $1000.
Someone can be trusted with $1000+.

Each of them can still be trusted with different amounts of money - of course, the higher the amount of money involved, the fewer people can be trusted. Especially with those who just use pseudonyms [bitcointalk username] - it's really hard to trust many users with $1000 or more.

But if I ask you to nominate some trustworthy person, I know you will be able to nominate dozens of forum members. There are a lot of forum members whom I will be able to trust with thousands of dollars.

You make a good point. You can't verify if something is true, but if it's not, you may be able to catch someone in a lie. I've mentioned it before in the context of mixers: if you catch someone in a lie, you can never trust him again.

I'm not nominating anyone. I'm pretty sure we only see what people want us to see.

Yes. If we have to nominate someone, it won't be easy because we don't know if someone is honest or not. There is no way we can check if they are honest or not. So, If I know you just online and I don't know you in real life, then I don't know if you are an honest person or not. So, there is no way I can nominate anyone if I don't know them in person.

But if I ask you to nominate some trustworthy person, I know you will be able to nominate dozens of forum members. There are a lot of forum members whom I will be able to trust with thousands of dollars.

Yahoo, nutildah, lovesmayfamilis, and DdmrDdmr. I would like to remember o_e_l_e_o as well because he was one of them. There are a lot more.

Yep, there are a lot more and probably more than we know because they haven't proven themselves by being presented with a situation like EZ0010's where, by returning $1000 made himself noteworthy enough for taking the high road that Findingnemo actually remembered that case.

As someone else said, are we talking about honesty or trustworthiness (especially with money) here?  Because there's a huge difference between telling Theymos what you really think and potentially insulting and/or pissing him off and the cash-register-type of honesty that campaign managers like yahoo62278 and a few others have consistently exhibited.

I'm not going to offer up any names, lest others think I've forgotten their good deeds or don't appreciate them.  If you want names, just check out my sent trust list and you'll get a good idea.

I don't know how you defines your honesty. But to me I can say any one whom we (you) can entrust fund or money with, we can say that person is honest. Therefore I can easily say that campaign managers are the most honest people on the forum. For instance; Hhampuz, yahoo62278, Icopress, AB de Royse777, Little Mouse, Julerz12 and cryptoprenuerBrainboss. These people can be termed as honest people since they handle funds and pay out to the various users accordingly to how their rewards are without any compromise. Maybe there are others which I have never personally seen involving themselves with transaction with people here.

There are many members here on forum I admire, and honesty is not something we can measure, but sometimes people do mishandle things a bit, some do it intentionally and some do it UN-intentionally so from actions and our interaction we can make a perception about someone, for me a person who guided me in hard times, and local interaction and his behavior within the community. I've found that he's a deserving person to be trusted, although he's been quite inactive for a long time and marks his presence once to twice a month in the local thread whenever you need his guidance he's available.

Haha it might sound like buttering, I've not seen any of such kind thread before but every single word of mine is based on my personal experience with him, and after so much suspense as the climax scene his name is shahzadafzal (haha I was just trying portray it as announcing the result announcement don't mind).

If they visit this thread, I'm sure 90% of my community members will agree with my words.

It's probably easier to find most dishonest users in forum, but members with long history and good reputation are usually more honest, generally speaking.
Most honest user would be someone who always speaks the truth about anything, and that can be controversial sometimes.

Most of you guys will go with the known trusted users but let me get you a hidden gem. A newbie who made only 5 posts until now but got +7 green under his profile for the very one reason which is being honest and you can see that theymos mentioned the word honest as well.

User : EZ0010


I remember EZ0010 very well. He was nominated in Bitcointalk Community Awards for  Discovery of the year category and came 2nd place. His honesty is outstanding and surprised the whole community, he could have just disappeared with $1000 in his pocket and never look back but he didn’t. I don’t know where this user is rn, I’d have love to see this account active on the forum.

Any honesty is measured first and foremost by numbers. And here's what the numbers say about yahoo62278.
I'd argue that makes him trustworthy. We don't know if he's honest. You can't know if I'm really married, or made it up for OPSEC reasons. And I don't think that matters online, we can be anyone we want to be.

If being honest means you don't lie, social interactions can get awkward. Lying is a social construct, and many people wouldn't even call it being dishonest. Example: "I love what you did to your hair!". Lol. What I'm thinking might be: "You look ridiculous, but I'm not going to say that to your face because there's nothing to be gained by being honest about it".

I don't understand why people mention the "trusted" user when @OP ask the "honest" user.

For me, the most honest forum user is Vod because he's the only DT user who brave enough to leave negative feedback to theymos, if he's not honest, he will not give negative feedback because most people are afraid with someone who have higher positions/titles.
The difference between trust and honesty is not much. Someone must be honest before they'll be trusted by another person.
The case of Vod neg tagging theymos is not honesty. You can call it bravery instead. Vod tagging theymos doesn't make him honest and hence theymos dishonest.

Still in this same context, it is even more correct if we say theymos is the most honest, because he created a system that could even hurt him, which many of us cannot do. We would rather make our profile immune to negative tags.

The honest ones are usually the ones handling the money, and they’re often the campaign managers.

I think the biggest campaign in the past was Chipmixer, which was managed by DS. He must have handled a lot of money on a weekly basis since the payouts were weekly, though I can't access the spreadsheet anymore. According to the campaign:

Sr. Member, Hero Member, Legendary, and Staff earned $6 per post, with a max of 50 posts per week.

I can't remember the exact number of participants, but I recall there were quite a few. So, let's say 50 users, all maxing out every week—that’s $6 x 50 posts x 50 users, which equals $15,000 per week. But even if it was around $10k per week, that’s still a lot, not to mention his own pay as a campaign manager.

In my opinion, he’s probably the most honest guy considering the amount of money he was handling. Even though he’s not active anymore, he’s one of the most respected people on the forum. Plus, he had a lending service with very low interest rates and was understanding when people asked for extensions. For me, he’s definitely one of the most trustworthy.

Baryom    2018-11-03        I sent him 39.4 BTC instead of 0.394 BTC for a signature campaign payment. (My mistake obviously) He returned me 39.005 BTC as soon as he saw that :
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/3a9248a8b02038e237569c3bab0faa674f11575de97bc0dee7ccb307e121b10f

We are talking about $250,000. Thanks a lot.
Yes, this is a great example.

In discussions like this, I am always reminded of user EZ0010, even though he was just registered, he returned the wrongly sent funds by theymos. It wasn't a large amount, but it was about a person who didn't have a single post at that moment, without any reputation, so returning the money was a pure matter of honesty.
edit: this case https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.58800558

I appreciate it... and vehemently disagree LOL. I'm absolutely certain there are users on here that are much more deserving of that title than me.

It is very questionable for most of us how well we know each other, considering that assessments are made based on some forum discussions.
