I checked only 2 themes created by this user, I think if someone checks the rest, they will find more plagiarism.

It's just the red that was copied and this is the only instance of plagiarism?

Same @Smartvirus, it's a shame that all of his efforts just went to waste because of one oversight. There is a huge difference between someone that plagiarizes on purpose vs one that doesn't.

Hmm, we lost another active poster on the forum. Undecided

I feel just the same way @Ratimov, that we may have lost permanently just another active Hero Member and forum contributor. I have been watching fron the sideline as to how the case was being handled and it broke my heart that, it turned out on a permanent ban over a 2years elusive mistake as he claims. In many ways it might be it as he stated in his defence, being that, the thread never continued though, it doesn't completely erased the fact that, a forum rule was faulted once, perhaps there are more but a continued ignorance of the rule would have been the better bone of contentment.

I recall that not quite long ago, he celebrated his Hero Membership, how long it took and some persons really did took a liking to him, I do too and the knowledge that, he might not be back is really something to take in.

Mpamaegbu behaved strangely. He began to write explanations here but did not find the time to quickly correct the situation with this problematic post, at least delete it if the authorship is not clear. Enough time has been given. At least 1 user thought to fix the situation with their plagiarism and added a link.
Perhaps he behaved in some unlikely way and maybe not the best way to have contained the situation but, if I were to take a position in his shoes and think as he might have taught, I feel, he was waiting on someone to have suggested that for a solution to him. Perhaps, he didn't want to act too smart and the edited post raises another pointy finger at him or something, I really don't know but I'm sure his got his reasons which might be wrong or right.

The post in question seems to be referencing the copied text as "smuggled out snippet below" so arguably Mpamaegbu was not trying to claim authorship of that text.
[...] many are likely to conclude with the smuggled out snippet below [...] May be you will agree ir disagree with the positions below.
It's a good thing to have noted this as, my relations with this user as someone in the forum and have sent quite a few pm's doesn't portray him to be someone that would want to steal someone else's glory. Its just sad that this slipped him under whatevercircumstancesat the time, that he had this skeleton in the closet and never knew but, it took his new campaign Best_Change to dig it up.

So sorry Hero Member Mpamaegbu, we do hope you get to appeal, truthfully stating the scenario and that the forum listen. Until then, your wished well!

Nice catch, seems like almost everyone ignored this little detail, in which he says that he took it from someplace else. If he decides to appeal the ban, might even help to at least change permaban into signature ban (which I would like to see more often here), if not overturning it completely.


Mpamaegbu claims to not have provided a link to the source but what actually was the source? If he copied the message from steemit and forgot to put a link, then it can be considered an error. If, on the other hand, he copypasted the post from bitcointalk, then it is blatant plagiarism because his post was not translation nor quotation.
Looking at differences between those two bitcointalk topics, the one made by Mpamaegbu lacks the part about Philippines, which is not included in either Steemit article or TG post. If he was blindly plagiarizing bitcointalk post, chances are he would copy that Philippines part too, which he didn't so i think that source is that Steemit article.

Hey guys, how do you see if someone has been banned?

I've searched the subject and in Banned Users they say it can't be seen (although it is a 6 year-old post). Also, in another thread, LoyceV says: "Unlike Mods, users can't see if someone is banned."

Any way to see it if you are not a mod? Timelord2067 and Bitcoin_Arena have shown us some people are banned and I don't think they are mods.

I also use loyce.club. For a while, bpip.org did not display users that were banned. But at LoyceV everything works like clockwork. If you don't see bpip.org, but you see that the user has been inactive for a while, just check there too.

Using bpip.org it's the easiest to see that, here's the @Mpamaegbu account on bpip https://bpip.org/Profile?id=940323 you can see there's a sign of Archived under his profile, mean he has been banned.

Another way you can see on modlog https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php only for recent user (I don't know the exact time) and banned user can't wear a signature.

Well he's been banned  Shocked
Yikes--I'm pretty sure he'll be pretty upset about that if he isn't already. 

Quite sad to lose a Hero member account under such circumstances. Damn ! It's hard to get a hero member rank from 0 merits, if you ask me. The pain must be unbearable.
He'd been a member since before the merit system, so I don't think he started with zero merits.  Nevertheless, he was a pretty familiar face on the forum (at least to me), and it sucks that it turned out this way.  I don't know if more plagiarism was found or if the mods just didn't accept his reason, but we'll see if he appeals it.

Why not added it if you realized the mistake?
My guess is that he forgot about it once the thread was locked or thought it wouldn't be necessary because it got locked.  And yes, that's exactly what he should have done once his mistake was realized--and here I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt in saying that it was a mistake.  I'm not a mind reader, so who knows.

This is your self-defense that has become a common practice by other plagiarists.

Don't really understand why people ignored this issue before you and one other person were accepted into the bestchange campaign, but it's true that you made a huge mistake based on forum rules.

This is way overboard IMO. The post in question seems to be referencing the copied text as "smuggled out snippet below" so arguably Mpamaegbu was not trying to claim authorship of that text.

I tend to believe Mpamaegbu's story about forgetting to cite the source, simply because I'm familiar with him as a member and I know damn well that he knows how seriously plagiarism is taken on the forum, and I seriously doubt he'd take a chance that someone wouldn't discover the source of that post.  I've chatted with him via PMs, and he's always been trying to do the right thing as far as I can tell.

I am not sure if he will try to appeal, but man, this is a shocker. I don't know why he didn't bother adding the link to the said post, even after the discovery that he mistakenly missed it. I mean, it was a mistake to forget the link,  right? Why not added it if you realized the mistake?

Mpamaegbu will have to answer that question, though I'm not sure it really matters at this point.  Whether he says he forgot to reference the steemit article or one of those bitcointalk posts, the result (whatever it may be) is going to be the same.

This is one of those situations that gets kinda sticky for me.  I can voice my personal opinion about what happened, but I definitely don't want to get egg splattered all over my face if I vouch for him and later it turns out that there have been multiple cases of plagiarism.  I don't think that's going to be true, and I hope someone can verify that.

The only thing that still unclear is where is the original source? If the post from steemit platform is the source we are talking about then three people did copy it to bitcointalk without providing a link.

I have found another source.
A Telegram channel called @ShahTrading has a post on the same date as the steemit article, but I cannot figure out the timestamps. It looks like the steemit article is a copy, but I cannot say for sure.

Honestly, I thought I put a link at the end and can't really explain how that skipped me. That thread was closed almost immediately it started and I never went back to it until when this issue came up, perhaps I would've observed I didn't put a link there if it were open and people were posting there. It's an honest slip. I never intended to plagiarize that write-up or anyone's work as I have given references to write-ups/comments I lift or put them in quotes. I even put out links to the two short articles I cited in threads I started before and after this thread in question was made. I wouldn't intentionally leave out referencing a lengthy article that was obviously not mine. It's a slip, frankly. There's nothing I stand to gain doing otherwise.

Additional link to third source: http://web.archive.org/web/20210406064955/https://www.jumio.com/compliance-regulations/kyc-compliance/

Know your customer (KYC) refers to the process of verifying the identity of your customers, either before or during the time that they start doing business with you in order to mitigate money laundering and other financial crimes. Regulations are becoming increasingly strict for crypto exchanges to verify customer identities during the opening and maintaining of accounts. Some countries have even gone as far to demand that citizens declare their crypto hodlings.
Crypto exchanges are now embracing KYC procedures to protect themselves. KYC compliance has a huge impact on how they enable customers to open accounts and perform  transactions.

Sad news is KYC on exchanges can result to phishing attempt, especially when system is hacked, we are in the world that peoples information are used against them. Hacked users data are sold on the dark web. I thought crypto was all anout anonymity. Giving out kyc on any platform has its own risk, exchanges included.

Someone sent me a screenshot of a supposed mail he got from Binance

I'm not sure if this is true but if it is I'd have to move my assets to a decentralized exchange. I find this new development alarming! Forgive my ignorance, but I am one of those flock who got into bitcoin thinking it was a safe haven away from the prying eyes of the government but I guessed wrong. We are losing to the authorities on every front

Every day we read about US,China, Korea,Japan; their stand on cryptos and anytime the news seems bad it will create FUD which will lead to market crash.

But I believe US,China, Korea,Japan are not the only countries in the world. So today I want the community members to state their countries stand as regards to cryptos

Below are few countries stands as regarding to cryptos. you can correct me if I am wrong.

Please Add your own country stand.

Maybe If we spread some good news about countries that support cryptos we might see bullish market again.

  "GDP at constant (2011-12) Prices in Q1 of 2021-22 estimated at ₹32.38 lakh crore, against ₹26.95 lakh crore in Q1 of 2020-21,

Showing a growth of 20.1 percent as compared to a contraction of 24.4 percent in Q1 2920-21," the deta from MoSPI stated.

   This is fastest growth since the mid-1990s when official quarterly data was available, and
Up sharply from 1.6% in the previous quarter and from a record contraction of 24.4% in the same quarter a year earlier.

The growth in the current quarter is mainly on low-base effect.
