Keeping those accounts in the forum might hurt people because if someone can call himself Satoshi Nakamoto while he is not then that person can scam people. Mostly newbies might fall for the guys so the best way is to tag the accounts or if possible ban the accounts because a deceiver is very dangerous in the community and they can do anything to survive. As for me they are purely scammers because there is no way a genuine person would come here and claim to be the creator of bitcoin or Satoshi Nakamoto when he or she knows that they are not.

Keeping those accounts is not an option, and banning them as well won't even solve anything aside from delaying the scam/spam process, as scammers can always create as many accounts as they want just to perpetrate their scam scheme.

But one thing about newbies is that some of them just don't notice a red tag account, or they don't know the meaning of it, or, shall I say, they are always ignorant of what it is, as I have seen some scam accusations threads where the accused is already a red tag member. So it's just best if those accounts can be banned if possible, but Satoshi impersonators are not the only spammers; in fact, the people offering fake service are the worst I have seen in this forum.

The question is what to do with these accounts.
Neg tag them into oblivion?
Waste time with replies?
Report as spammers?
All of the above?
Other?

It's great for us to discuss them, but should we do if anything in our limited capacity as users about them.

It's up to you, but IMO we should treat such users just like how we treat scammer or likely scammer. Replying them seems useless, unless you want to prove that they're liar or say something non-sense. And on some cases, moderator don't remove such post or ban such users.

This one stands out: it's a user who earned enough Merit to not be a shitposter. My first thought was another useless topic, but I think he's trying to make a point. Read the title: Don't Trust, Verify. That's like me telling you to download electrum.exe from my server, which I posted years ago.
@Charles-Tim who tagged him: I think you missed the point of his topic. It's not the best way while so many people claim the same BS, but I don't think he had bad intentions.

I really appreciate your opinion. I have removed the red trust. He did not use any name related to Satoshi for his username and also the title should be enough reason not to give him negative trust. We should not trust but verify. And we noticed he is not Satoshi when we check for the signature authenticity.

As you can see, everyone has a different sense of humor, and "there's always a grain of humor in every joke, and the rest people want to pass off as truth." This account made a joke, and it was a bad joke; I didn't flag his, knowing that he was either drunk or wanted to have fun, making others waste time checking. But not everyone likes that.
He wanted to emphasize the topic title, and he was noticed.

Impersonators have always been neg tagged in the past as far as I know because their intentions are pretty obvious. Sometimes, mods don't ban/nuke such accounts, so the tag can help alert other users about the impersonator. @Not your key not your BTC's case is a little tricky if he was trying to prove a certain point. Maybe he can try to convince the members that he wasn't trying to impersonate Nakamoto and should perhaps be the last time he makes such bad examples/jokes.

Not your key not your BTC (https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/not-your-key-not-your-btc-3517191)

I was about to make a mocking post on his thread earlier but decided not to because it looks like the guy was trying to make a point that people should always have the mindset of "don't trust, verify", at least based on the title of the thread. but then again, that's just my assumption and I could be totally wrong.

I was going to open a thread but I think I'd better comment here about the guy I ran into:

hatgiraffe

Brand new and has written three long posts all in the same style, all talking about Satoshi, and seeming to promote his community or something.

No tags IMO if we use the trust system properly. Reporting them the best option I think.

I know this thread probably will be removed soon. So i'll just ask this basic technical question, which cryptography encryption used by Satoshi on Bitcoin?

Everybody knows which cryptography encryption is used in Bitcoin. When I designed the Blockchain I used the SHA-256 and DSA but it was vulnerable then I combined the Elliptic Curve Secp256k1 with DSA and created ECDSA for creating secure public key out of private key which is generated from SHA-256.

1. Claiming as the one who design Bitcoin blockchain.
2. Lack of technical knowledge. Bitcoin doesn't use encryption cryptography, but rather signature and hash cryptography.

Quote from: ?? on ??

I have read all yours comments and messages and questions. I will be happy to answers all of yours' questions in the near guture. Thank you for adopting bitcoin and blockchain. I understand that some of you have many questions and some you want me to stay hidden in the shadow and some of you want me to reveal my identity. To be honest, I am not hidden. I read the forum post time to time when I have free times. By the way there are few people impersonated my Jspanese pseudonym and some others are thought to be myself. Actually my identity is visible but unseen. No body knows me it is not quiet true.

I have been cornered by my adversaries and now I am.oblized to reveal my legal identity soon because my adversaries are trying to frame me and they are harting me since December 2009. I am suffering very much badly. I wish I did not invent the bloody Bitcoin. I regret. The earlier developers have hijacked my Bitcoin project from me and they are harting me on a daily basis. They have not left me alone, so I have decided to reveal my identity on 31 October 2024. I am inviting you all to attend my Press Conference in Paddington London. The time will be announced by 24 October.

Thanks for all yours' comments.

Hashcash with the implementation of proof-of-work was the model to follow for a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin.

Thanks my friend.
