He founded the Online Wallet "inputs.io" which got "hacked" one day and lost about 4100BTCitcoins. I assume that TradeFortress / $username himself screwed off the coins.

Amazing ! So he ran off with 4100 BTC .... Roll Eyes. why does he not ashamed ?

Psychopaths do not have empathy.   Undecided

Yeah, unfortunately you're right. The same thing also for Dank ( has he been banned from the forum?).

Some people left things they steal. Huh Dank vs Vod was a great thread, I haven't seen any similar fights in any forums.

Wasn't there any control over the private keys in inputs.io? And, do you have any link to the news, I cam here after it was stolen, so I like to read the news. Smiley


Thanks for the link!

Here in bitcointalk a lot of members attain the Legendary status.

Yes there a lot of them who is a great help to a certain site.

But should we trust them in every thing they say?

Look at their trust first Tongue


...and also to his "activity" here in the forum ( the last post, the topics , etc... ).
No, activity is a very poor indicator of a person's ability to be trusted. The activity is only an indication of how much time they have spent here. If a person who was going to scam has spent a long time here then he will have had a lot of time to study the market and what people will and will not believe and what they will and will not invest in.

If you are referring to quality of posts then it will only be an indicator of intelligence, and there are plenty of smart people who are scammers

Not the activity point (or activity counter) , I mean the activity = contribution here in the forum Wink. If you have contributed I don't think you will scam anyone.
Have you heard of tradefortress?

tradefortress aka $username ? Yes but  I never understood what happened ...

Legendary just means your post count is over like 840-950 or something.

It doesn't mean anything else besides that.



No, it deals with your activity.
My post count exceeds 1,000 and I am still a full member.

Isn't activity related to quality posts?

Maybe not! I'm not sure.

Nope it's not related to quality posts. It's related to time and posts

Go to a persons trust page and it will tell you there at the top if it has been reset recently.
I believe this will only tell you if the password was reset within the last 30 days or changed within the last 3 days.

A better indication would be to check the security log @ bitcointalk.org/seclog.php

Do not trust based on forum status...I did that and got scammed pretty good. The guy that scammed me was a donor and had a good amount of green trust. I learned that lesson the hard way, and hope others do not have to get screwed to also learn it. I trust a few people here, but only due to trades and there feedback.

but you also have to take into account the possibility that the account may be compromised so check other things like if their password has been reset

Where can I see this information about last password reset?

You shouldn't blindly trust anyone here just because of their rank or trust score but you can use them when weighing up your judgment. For instance, a Legendary member is unlikely to scam you out of 0.05btc because he could sell the account for far more and his reputation is likely worth something to him, but you also have to take into account the possibility that the account may be compromised so check other things like if their password has been reset and if their language or behaviour has changed recently etc. If in doubt insist on using a trusted escrow (but apply the same rules and logic to them also).

Legendary accounts can be sold too, for example, you can see a legendary account with positive trust being sold here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/selling-my-legendary-member-account-884060


Also you can see some legendary members with negative trust.

So no, never trust legendary people only because they are legendary, ever when they have positive trust

The important thing is not posts count but your activity. You need to have at least activity 775 to become Legendary. That means your forum age should be at least 775 days.

But legendary membergroup has no universal activity requirement. You are guaranteed to become Legendary somewhere between 775 and 1030 activity,but the exact point in this range at which you become Legendary is random per user.

Accounts can be bought and feedback can be padded, rank status shouldn't be a measure of trustworthiness.

There are actually only 301 legendary members, out of roughly 385,000, therefore legendary members make up less then 1% of the population.

No you should not trust what they say or factor in the fact that they are a legendary member when making a determination if they should be trusted.

if i have to choose to lend / deposit my coins between: (a) newbie (b) legendary with + status, i'd choose the latter

My choice would be whoever demonstrated better trustworthiness (that doesn't automatically mean the legendary account) and always with the understanding that anyone can turn scammer given sufficient motivation.

maybe but like see dooglus is legendary and you expect 100% honesty from him now Smiley

No. You can literally spam / troll your way to legendary over time.. same with hero. You can also buy these accounts. No idea why people put so much trust in some of those members when there is no reason to.

Yeah, I think there was one suggestion where 3 legendarys could vote ban you, no way! That would mean 3 danks could ban us all! Rank is not an indication of trust, dank is legendary yet I don't think you would be willing to give him a 50 BTC loan.

Thanks

Wait you can only achieve 14 activity every 2 weeks? And is it given out every 2 weeks or when you hit 14

The max is 14 activity ever 2 weeks, yes. It is given out every 2 weeks once you hit 14 more posts.

Obviously not, but those with high green trust like Dooglus generally know what they're talking about. Don't trust anyone with green or a certain usertitle just because they have it. Trust them because everyone else trusts them and YOU trust them. Following the crowd is USUALLY the right move. USUALLY. Not always. Just use your own judgment basically.

How about someone like you?

Hmmmm.. Im just curious, if you are asked by someone, should we trust you? What is your answer?
