VPN + Tor + poor internet connection = possible complications. Especially with a free VPN

While using TOR, even if the internet speed is good, it works slowly when entering websites in the browser. But if VPN+TOR+POOR NET are used together at the same time then while entering the browser it will keep loading until it finally (time out).

Some sites, you can not access by Tor.

If it is accessible by Tor, I would like to use Tor.
If it is not Tor-accessible, I would like to use VPN.
If Internet is good, I would like to use both VPN + Tor because it's best if I always use VPN, then if necessary, I use Tor as another layer for privacy. I believe that it is a good habit on Internet because if I don't always turn VPN on, perhaps I will lose my privacy when I am careless.

TBH, Tor's unwillingness to handle this, as well as the overall weakness of Tor's anonymity when compared to the cutting edge in academic research, makes me think that Tor may be infiltrated by anti-privacy interests.

Quote from: SamReomo on Today at 09:03:51 AM

You can try Tor, the site works perfectly on Tor. I personally visit the site using Tor browser and I've never faced any issue by using the clear net version and by using the Onion version. I think it's much better to use Tor than using a VPN, and to use an instant exchange it's preferred to not use your WIFI IP directly for security and privacy purpose.

Yes, there was a temporary problem but later after clearing everything and trying again, it worked properly. You have given a good suggestion here which I did not consider before. VPN is generally used occasionally but the most secure option is to use TOR. Although I do not use TOR that much because I never really had such a need, from now on I will definitely try to use TOR for my own privacy.

VPN + Tor + poor internet connection = possible complications. Especially with a free VPN

VPN + Tor + poor internet connection = possible complications. Especially with a free VPN

There's no need to use VPN when you use Tor, all your traffic will go through Tor circuits with different IP addresses from different locations. I never use any kind of VPN on Tor but I must say that these days people have good internet, even with 1 or 2 Mbps internet connection one can use Tor easily. I personally have 6 Mbps connection and it's quite fast for my needs. I do have another connection that's 20 Mbps but I rarely use that connection as that's a shared connection used by others at my place.

When I tried using a VPN, it entered properly but on my laptop the site was not opening with my local wifi line. Then I disconnected the wifi line and connected it again and tried and now it's working properly, I can also check my previous history.

VPN + Tor + poor internet connection = possible complications. Especially with a free VPN

Even a VPN with a poor internet connection can already be frustrating, so imagine using it over Tor. That requires a whole new level of patience.

If the connection is too slow or unstable, it's probably better to wait until you have a more reliable connection before making your transaction, rather than risking delays or connection issues.

Quote from: examplens on July 30, 2026, 10:44:05 AM

It seems that the statements are less and less consistent.
A month ago, CryptoYar quite confidently stated how far apart Publiktalk792 and Rustam Meraj are, only to now recognize them as 100% alt accounts. At the same time, he has the same IP address as someone who is hundreds of kilometers away in another city and district.

Yes I said that based on the evidences presented same plates using multiple times, now at this point, I personally believe they are operated by the same person, and I will tag them as well. However, my priority right now is to clear my own name first.

Quote from: CryptoYar on June 30, 2026, 05:15:57 PM

Publiktalk792 → Same city in Pakistan, but most probably around 50 km away
Rustam Meraj → Different city, different district, and most probably hundreds of km away

Now here, Rustam Meraj claims that he lives in the same area. That's what happens when you don't tell the truth, it's very difficult to keep the same story going

Quote from: Rustam Meraj on July 30, 2026, 08:19:43 AM

Yes, we know each other because we live in the same area. But we got to know each other only through our Pakistan local community here on Bitcointalk, and then later we discovered that we live nearby.
Yes, we made pizzas together And making it for three years. As for the ATT contest, I made a completely separate pizza specifically for that contest, and I made it entirely by myself.

That's what I genuinely believed at the time I wrote that post.
If my intention had been to deceive anyone, I would have made sure my story was consistent from the very beginning. Instead, I clearly used the words "most probably" because I wasn't certain�I wasn't presenting it as a fact.
What I knew was that we both lived in Lahore, but I also knew we originally came from different areas. For example, I'm originally from Central Punjab but currently live in Lahore. Based on that understanding, I referred to us as being from different cities/districts. It was simply my understanding not an attempt to mislead anyone.

I think they deleted the tweet you quoted.

Here I made a new one quoting their pinned post. If they continue like this, they will delete the entire history on their X account Cheesy

@examplens � thank you again for your support. I also posted a thread on X tagging the domain registrar @namesilo regarding ghostswap.io. Let's see if they respond.

P.S. If anyone has any other legal suggestions on where else I can file complaints, please let me know. I'm open to any advice.

Quote from: TryNinja on July 29, 2026, 06:39:12 AM

For example, here are the first 5 bans issued in the recent wave, 7 days after their ban (data is updated in near real time):

That's a nice way of visualizing what was to be expected: they don't post because they're interested in the topic, they're posting to get paid. The fact that so many users post 100% less fits my suspicion that most of those accounts are owned by a small group of account farmers.

When a Sigban expires, or when it gets removed, it would be nice to also visualize the changes in their posting behavior. Even better if you can correlate it to being accepted in a signature campaign.

Quote from: examplens on July 29, 2026, 09:37:53 AM

We've all looked at the Stake campaign as the worst breeding ground for spam, but Rainbet seems to be even worse. Quite dominant on the list, at least judging by the avatars.

The users in the "Rainbet" campaign are doing significantly better than the ones wearing the signature without being accepted.

Quote from: logfiles on July 29, 2026, 12:36:28 PM

Technically they are not participating in the campaign which is why there seem to be many accounts that are banned and are wearing the rainbet avatar.

They could still be paid for their "advertising", it's just not published.

Quote from: ryzaadit on July 30, 2026, 06:13:49 PM

I found an account with "Unknown user" and his profile ID; 2692993
I also found his account on Bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2692993

This user hasn't made any post (ever) because it's a test account made by ~~theymos~~ LoyceV.

FTFY

I created TrustTestUser for my Beginners guide to correct use of the Trust system. Theymos' test account is test123.

Quote

No post = nothing in the archive = we can't derivate its username. There are a few solutions, including using Loyce's username list, but idk. I don't see this as a big problem.

Just a heads up: my username list probably missed a few username changes over the years.

Quote from: icopress on July 30, 2026, 11:37:03 PM

If someone could create a visual table based on the available data
~

Code:

Manager's name:
Total number of slots in all campaigns:
Number of banned users
Ban in % of total slots (all campaigns of the selected manager).

The closest I've seen is Signature Ban List, but it also lists users who weren't accepted in the campaign. That's going to be a lot of work to (manually) check, and impossible if the campaign spreadsheet isn't public.

Quote from: examplens on July 30, 2026, 10:32:22 PM

Is it too much if the conclusion is drawn that the campaign managers are largely responsible for the production of spam that is the subject of this action?

In my first signature campaign, I always felt like guitarplinker was watching me. Later, I felt like DarkStar_ was watching me. Even though I don't consider myself to be a shitposter, I was always very aware that someone's watching, and I don't want to disappoint them. In my opinion, every campaign manager should give their campaign participants some feeling of "you are being watched".

Quote

A lot of the problem occurs when, for whatever reason, managers don't perform basic quality checks of their participants. For several campaigns, there seems to be no standards or quality control at all.

This brings me to my next point: campaign managers should also feel like they're being watched! Running a campaign should be a privilage that can be taken away. The Signature Campaign Guidelines are clear, but not enforced:

Quote from: hilariousandco on November 17, 2016, 12:46:01 PM

As a signature campaign operator you will ultimately be held responsible for the quality of posts of users bearing your signature advertisement and you will need to monitor your users closely or it will be quickly abused. If you are running a campaign and it becomes blatantly obvious to Staff that you are doing little to nothing to stop spam on your campaign you will be issued a PM warning by a Global Moderator that you need to make immediate improvements to curb low-quality posts. You will have 7 days to remove low-quality posters and respond to the message detailing what you are going to do to make changes to your campaign to reduce the amount of spam. If improvements are not noticeable within 21 days of that and Staff do not believe you are doing enough to prevent low quality posts your signatures will be blacklisted from the forum by an Admin and you will no longer be permitted to advertise here in such a way. The Staff and Admins do not want to have to do this but it's a last resort in an attempt to clean up the forum as signature campaigns cannot continue to operate here in such a lazy way as it is not fair that others have to go through pages of drivel to find anything of substance nor should Staff be left to clean up the mess you are paying people to make.

I feel like we're approaching this bottom-up instead of top-down. We've been reporting individual posts for years, and now some users get a signature ban, but it would have been much better to start from the top: if campaign managers who accepted spam got banned, there would be less posts to report and less signatures to ban.
Just imagine if all campaign managers did their job correctly: there'd be less spam, less signature bans, less posts to report and less work for Mods.

Quote

Also in my opinion, managers should be asking themselves what qualities do they want to try to instill in others, what behaviors are they currently rewarding, and do they honestly believe these behaviors are a net positive for individual growth or the forum as a whole.

Personal financial interests don't necessarily align with forum interests.

Quote from: TryNinja on Today at 09:39:12 PM

You are definitely changing things for the better.

Good to hear. I'm doing it with the help of BitList.

Quote from: TryNinja on Today at 09:39:12 PM

In 9 days:

Quote

Since first ban on 21 Jul 2026, 899 potential spam posts were prevented, averaging 99.93 posts per day over 9 days.

The first ban was was fuguebtc which was around 10 am on July 20th, along with 4 others. He is banned until Jan 16, 2027. That date minus 180 days is July 20th. I did 6 sigbans on the 21st and 10 on the 22nd, if that helps.

Quote from: examplens on Today at 10:32:22 PM

Its my opinion that they share a lot of responsibility for the spam situation. Obviously its no longer a viable idea to employ a "pay per post" model as that is responsible for the most annoying kinds of spammy behaviors.

A lot of the problem is for whatever reason managers don't perform basic quality checks of their participants. For many campaigns, there seem to be no standards in place at all.

Also in my opinion, managers should be asking themselves what qualities do they want to try to instill in others, what behaviors are they currently rewarding, and do they honestly believe these behaviors are a net positive for individual growth or the forum as a whole.

Quote from: examplens on Today at 03:19:23 PM

I don't see a mixer promotion here. Apart from the name in the screenshot, there is nothing promoting or recommending the mixer. These are two different services, with a similar name and probably the same owner, but they are present on this forum only as a blockchain explorer.
The rules aren't that strict, it's not even forbidden to write a mixer's name.

Yup! You are right, but the @admin never thought that a screenshot pointing towards a mixer could become an issue. Now, you will state why you promote this mixer through the screenshot? Well, it clearly shows how he is pointing to the URL. I do not need to post it, as I think it is evident if anyone has seen it.

Since DYING_S0UL chose to delete that post on his own (even though he did not have to), there is no issue anymore, so I do not think we need to keep arguing about it. But it looks like you misread the rules on banning mixers from the forum. The admin never explicitly banned screenshots of mixer sites in discussions. In fact, even mentioning a mixer name is totally fine as long as it is not blatant promotion. DYING_S0UL did not break any rules, but even if he had, you could have just reported the post to the mods and let them handle it without all the extra drama.

Unless it becomes a habit from the same person.

Quote from: examplens on Today at 03:47:10 PM

[...] The fact that one member sees a sublimated advertising message on the screenshot is an accident, not practice.

Quote from: Cointikka on Today at 01:59:10 PM

After all this misunderstanding, the bottom line that it would have been better if you had PMed DYING_S0UL before posting the complaint (and in this thread) and you could have resolved this privately, without causing all this discussion here, on the other hand, now that this thread is back at the top of Meta, it helps to clarify this confusion about when someone is exactly breaking the rules regarding mixers (as examplens did very well to refresh our memory below).

I think that if things were resolved internally before things got heated, we would avoid many problems.

Quote from: examplens on Today at 03:19:23 PM

Quote from: theymos on June 18, 2024, 08:59:07 PM

But there seems to be some confusion around promotion. It would be allowed to post even a positive review thread for ExampleMixer, just as long as you don't post the URL and you don't violate the other rules. Promotion is only disallowed in signatures, avatars, and profile-bios; not posts.

Quote from: examplens on Today at 03:47:10 PM

This thread has 1380 posts, and through the discussion we came to the point that it is necessary to enable the mention of the name of a mixer, as well as a discussion about them in general. The fact that one member sees a sublimated advertising message on the screenshot is an accident, not practice.

Quote from: examplens on Today at 01:55:04 PM

In your example, how did you save the order ID?
To check it on another device, you have to transfer the ID in some way, and that already means a copy/paste procedure. Then there is no big difference if you copy/paste only the ID, or the entire link, or even the LoG.

In essence, I agree with the suggestion, it should be made easier for users, and this should be a simple implementation

There's no much between them, either or both if implemented will serve.

Quote from: Hamza2424 on Today at 04:36:10 PM

But some castes have the same way as yours, where the male pays for the dowry. I prefer the male to manage all the necessary things. And for dowry, nowadays they don't give cows or anything else, but cars, house appliances, etc. Anyway, if you are preparing for your dowry using bitcoin, then that's great, but who gave you this idea?

The idea was spontaneous.

if i pay for bride price with 0.0465 BTC (about $3,000) as at today's rate, I'll like to look back in 10 years time to know the current rate. My children would be wowed in 20 years time knowing about it.

Quote from: mikel_012 on Today at 04:32:44 PM

Do you remember saving the letter of guarantee or the order ir in your phone after you start the swap? Because if you do not send it to your phone, you can not check the details even if they add a track order page

It is better if you just send the full link from the website like dex.fo/order?id=5476**5435 at once

In my case I submitted a screenshot in the DEX swap raffle in the games and rounds board. As I accessed the forum from mobile, I could simply copy the ID number from the screenshots.

Quote from: theymos on June 18, 2024, 08:59:07 PM

examplens, I'll tell you what happened. He did it because he thinks he was removed from the campaign because of me. Yeah, you heard me right, he was one of the campaign participants (from week 1-8), and while being at it he found no fault in the service. Only after getting removed (butthurt), he started attacking me.

As for myself, I had already admitted I shouldn't have posted an image from a mixer, and deleted that post right away. But he wouldn't just listen, and venting out his anger to me.

Quote from: examplens on Today at 11:23:39 AM

That is something completely different and concerns their internal agreement. Payment delays are often requested through other private channels, telegrams, and the like, which are not publicly announced.

On second thought, I've removed my "Oppose"-vote. The Flag is for the best.

Quote from: examplens on Today at 11:16:18 AM

The order ID is in the letter of guarantee, anyone who cares about their money will always keep the LoG. This is the first thing to do before any deposit, plus an additional verification of the address's validity on a third source.

Suggestion for dex.fo. When you already add "Swap ID: 6a6b3099...." inside the letter of guarantee, maybe you could add the entire link (https://dex.fo/order?id=6a6b30... instead of just Swap ID: 6a6b30..), that would remove any obstacle that the user has no way to check the status.

Including the full url in the LoG is a possible solution. But I still think that a simple "Track Order" on the website is important. This is because, there's a possibility that a swap might not be completed in a single device. 60 mins is a long time that can have someone move from office to home.

In my own case, i already left home and decided to check the forum from phone. So, in this case all i needed was just the order number to be inputted in the website from my mobile.

Having more than one way to it is possible. I remember that I swapped with one of the an instant exchanges here via telegram and there was clear space to track order both on telegram and website. I wouldn't mention them here but the campaign is also managed by icopress.

First up thumbs up for the effort you put in. however i don't think it is a very necessary tool if i'm being honest currently BPIP already displays a user's archival or banned status. Alot of persons may not really find it necessary to install an extra extension for the same information.

That aside as for the current signature ban trend the forum itself already indicates if a user is signature banned or not all you really have to do is check out the user's profile. examplens referenced another thread but i'm not sure if there was a totally separate one from bpip.

@examplens � thank you again for the support. My post is here if anyone wants to see it: https://x.com/Benedysiuk9898/status/2082737675098816938?s=20

So Rustam Meraj and Publictalk792 confirm 100% same person.

Quote from: CryptoYar on June 30, 2026, 05:15:57 PM

Publiktalk792 → Same city in Pakistan, but most probably around 50 km away
Rustam Meraj → Different city, different district, and most probably hundreds of km away

Now here, Rustam Meraj claims that he lives in the same area. That's what happens when you don't tell the truth, it's very difficult to keep the same story going

Quote from: Rustam Meraj on Today at 08:19:43 AM

This is the case when alternative accounts come across because absolutely everything is mixed up in their heads. Who lives where, what kind of IP address they write with, and who has pizzas being prepared in their kitchen are all unknown. In general, it's amazing to have answers that say that someone cooked pizza with a friend, or with a cat.

Quote from: Rustam Meraj on Today at 08:19:43 AM

Yes, we made pizzas together And making it for three years.

You took a very long time to come up with an answer, but you laid out your pizzas on different days. There's a discrepancy here again. One posted a photo on June 10, and the other on June 6. Just on the same day as the winner.

Judging by your pizza-making activity, you do it quite often. Was this just one pizza for another forum? Or are we missing something?🤷‍♀️

Why put out all the pizzas at different times if you cooked them together?

Quote from: examplens on Today at 11:05:19 AM

Here, for example, is how I see it: At the moment when Shasan lent money to goaldigger, there was no reason for the flag. Even later, he paid part of the loan, so the flag for that period would be inappropriate.
Shasan only became definitely sure in July 2026 that goaldigger would not get his money back and then created the flag. If, for example, the borrower were to promise payment in one year, the red flag arises only after the expiration of that term.

That's one way of looking at it Wink

I'd say the problems started the moment this wasn't fulfilled:

Quote from: goaldigger on April 07, 2024, 10:43:49 AM

Duration: One month/less than

Quote from: examplens on Today at 10:42:31 AM

@shasan, I would recommend at least checking through the tool https://postflayer.onrender.com/ where you can see if any member is at risk of a signature ban.

That's a good idea and a precaution, but it's likely that there will be members with existing loans who get hit by a ban and might default their loans.
I wonder how Shasan will handle such a case; giving a loan here is such risky business because of the uncertainty of the situation, but since he is continuing with his loan service, he understands the risk.

Quote from: examplens on Today at 01:05:36 PM

There has been a browser extension for this for a long time, you can find more info: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5224821.0
Currently, the hot topic is the signature ban, and there are no such notifications in this BPIP extension, but that's why there are some other useful info.

So, for example:

Ohh...

I should have included a link to the old thread to avoid any confusion.. As the title suggests, this is simply version 2 of the existing tool, and the only new feature I added is the Sigban check.

I created the tool as a lightweight alternative for checking banned users because of this thread Banned members should be indicated on their profile summary, and my main focus has always been the Userscript.

The new update should have bumped the old thread, but I didn't want to merge them because some users may not want the Sigban check alongside the existing Ban check.

I will add the link and bump the old thread.. there's already a reference to the extension you mentioned in the thread btw.

A dobro, ionako ni�ta ne dobiva ako prizna, a ima se za �ta boriti, ne samo 1500 $ nagrade već i priliku da mo�e početi ''business s meritima'' Grin

Naravno da nece priznati, nema ni motiva za to. Ako bude imao srece, mozda prezivi sa ne toliko jakim negativnim feedback. Ostace mu opcija ucestvovanja u kampanjama.

We've all looked at the Stake campaign as the worst breeding ground for spam, but Rainbet seems to be even worse. Quite dominant on the list, at least judging by the avatars.

There is a big group of accounts that were sig banned while wearing Rainbet sig and avatar, but they weren't actually part of Rainbet signature campaign (at least not bitcointalk one led by Hhampuz), that makes it look much worse for Rainbet.

Perhaps we should consider banning avatars as well.
Because an avatar, despite being just an image, can be used as a tool to harm others.

Looking at the statistics, moderators would have to delete hundreds of posts a day and it seems quite tedious to read so much spam and make a clear line between which posts are to be deleted and which are acceptable.

Mods job would be much easier if they were actively participating in the discussions going on there, which is not usually the case here. For example, if you are a gambling board mod that follows football and is active in let's say Champions League thread, it would be very easy to detect and delete shitposts. And once people see that shitposts are deleted, they will likely adjust and start making more thoughtful posts. Or at least I hope they would. For this to work, forum would need more mods though.

In the current situation, a moderator may receive a report in a thread they not only don't follow, but may not even know anything about the sport in question. So of course it's difficult for them to determine which posts deserve to be deleted and which don't.

There's already been a discussion about this in some other threads, but as soon as you mention pay rates you look like someone who's only here for the money. Realistically, pay rates have remained the same as before the pandemic, and for $100 today you can't buy even 50% of what you could 5-6 years ago.

The solution is very simple - raise the criteria for each sig campaign participant, focus on quality and not quantity. Redirect the money received by spammers to good members, increase the number of paid posts and pay rates, and continue with sig banning. In a few months, the forum would look different in a positive way.

Everyone talks only about how many members got sig bans, and no one mentions the managers who employed them in their campaigns and if it wasn't for this initiative, they would still be paying them to spam today. Whether anyone likes it or not, their responsibility is the greatest in this story. Managers must raise the criteria when it comes to sig campaigns and then there will be no need to repeat such things every few years.

By the way, have you looked at the members applying for the campaign vacancies? It seems to me that there are a lot of alt accounts that will just continue where they left off.

One of the easiest way to identify newly farmed accounts is by following full member applications in any signature campaign. Many of the accounts have earned all the merits that they need in the last 120 days. Often when I see random users earn a lot of merit in the last 120 days I am quite suspicious knowing how hard it is to earn merit the right way, without farming, without any kind of connections. Upon closer inspection you can see always the same pattern of behavior:

Most merit received through merit-farming techniques, whether challenges, post submissions, threads where you can get 1 merit per post.
Most merit received comes from a local board (colleague boosting) even when better posters in this same local board do not receive many merit..
Most merit received comes from user who never give merit to users that are not farming/colluding with them, such as the best forum posters like d5000

I take it that nutildah's queue right now is very long, but once he processes most of them then I hope he will be interested in submissions -- but any way then we can submit the patterns for him to look at. Focusing the consequences on the oldest and already enrolled accounts is the correct way for now. I hope

We've all looked at the Stake campaign as the worst breeding ground for spam, but Rainbet seems to be even worse. Quite dominant on the list, at least judging by the avatars.

Someone had a farm of probably stolen/hacked accounts so one day they decided to log into them and start wearing Rainbet avatars and signatures minus enrolling or applying for the signature campaign. Technically they are not participating in the campaign which is why there seem to be many accounts that are banned and are wearing the rainbet avatar.

If there was ever any doubt that the gambling section was a hotbed of spam, this is probably just one more piece of clear evidence.

This is because of 90% campaigns are from casinos.

I guess, this is time for campaign managers to remove the mandatory rule for gambling posts.

Quoting for reference.

If you have any ideas to improve this dashboard, let me know.

How about average position of top board, where the average is based on each user? For example.

Account A
1. Gambling discussion (90%)
2. Bitcoin Discussion (8%)
3. Meta (2%)

Account B
1. Gambling discussion (95%)
2. Speculation (4%)
3. Meta (1%)

Account C
1. Speculation (60%)
2. Gambling discussion (30%)
3. Bitcoin Discussion (10%)

The average of each board would be
Gambling discussion: (1 + 1 + 2) / 3 = 1.33
Bitcoin Discussion: (2 + 3) / 2 = 2.5
Speculation: (2 + 1) / 2 = 1.5
Meta: (3 + 3) / 2 = 3

I'm curious whether this approach would show different board compared with "Where they posted".

As reminder, some of the sigbanned account doesn't join Rainbet campaign despite wearing Rainbet avatar/signature. See I'm seeing some sketchy stuff going on.

I didn't notice at first, but the bowl doesn't seem to be empty. It's hard to recognize because of the shadow, but if we look carefully at the full sized image, it looks like there's some sort of white powder or liquid in it. This would explain why it doesn't have the same design at the bottom.

Quote from: joker_josue on July 28, 2026, 05:24:29 PM

But as I said, the probability of two users here on the forum using the same type of bowl, in the same competition here on the forum, is just low.

Having the same bowl design is one thing, but combined with the matching IP logs and other evidence? It's just too much of a coincidence.

That's not very "stealth".

True, but remember that usually to activate these cards you must look like a "normal" browser anyways. No Tor, no VPN.

With a payment processor like Cryptomus in the middle, it's hard to consider the service no-kyc and no SoF request safe.

https://www.trustpilot.com/review/cryptomus.com?stars=1

I recall Cryptomus recently had some trouble in Canada, because their KYC policy was too relaxed: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/cryptomus-fined-177-million-fintrac-9.6948338. $177M fine! Lucky for them that it's probably 177M Canadian dollars instead of real dollars 🦅

For big purchases I would advise people to use crypto concierges instead of any card. We just added a table with them to OrangeFren.com yesterday. They're generally used for hotels, flights, laptops, even cars.

That thread is dated June 30, everybody had almost 1 month to mention the connection problems, the VPN, etc etc and yet no one ever complained until the very moment you got called out. Another coincidence?

Seriously? User's have been complain about it for sometimes, this happned even before the server change see below some user again admiting using VPN to run altcointalk
Just check this

These all are before even I got tagged.
I said for me and (some other user metioned in my preivous post) it happened after that server update (or I feel it is because of that change, I was not sure). But clearly there is issue with altcointalk here in Pak and it happened on July 6 and July 7 too. You or let the investigators see IP's logs in 56 pages log file this day too and you will see different IPs. I can post screenhots but again that screenshots would be tagged AI generated so pleac check the logs yourself with investigator.

Quote from: ABCbits on July 27, 2026, 09:59:58 AM

1. Not everyone choose VPN as workaround. Other option such as proxy and Tor also exist.
2. Among people who use VPN, each of them may use different VPN service.
3. Among people who use same VPN service, each of them may choose different server/country. if the VPN server/country chosen automatically, the odds the application always choose same server/country with same IP for 11 months can't be that high.

Others used VPN or not but all above users even before this issue happend see May posts are using VPN and for me after 30th June it stopped working without VPN and VPN is the option I know so I started using it. I would posted all this altcoin but that thread is locked.

I am using tor yes I did use proxy too but VPN is more convenient for me.
Com'n who said I have been using VPN for 11 months??? Please read again started I using VPN after 30th June update and it was working on and off and I remember July 6 and 7 from my post where I used VPN to post.

Bridgoro is not an instant exchange, but a p2p (peer-to-peer) trading platform. It's even clearly written in the first screenshot you posted. There are certain differences in the method of functioning.
Also, in the whole process, you have a third party that mediates as an escrow.

I've edited that part, by the way in title of this thread we can see Bridgoro as Instant Crypto Exchange. However, you're right it works as a P2P trading platform and as a semi-decentralized exchange, I've edited that part and removed instant exchange from it.

Such links have no special value in the long term. To have a positive impact on SEO, the page (profile page) where the link is posted would have to have some kind of views, and these are looks like archived.
But they can certainly help with new domains when search engines do the first indexing.

I don't think that's entirely true. The mass count of links on the site contributes some SEO strength, although not as much as if the posts had active impressions. We should take the word of someone with more experience in the industry than either of us:

Signature campaigns are long-term marketing campaigns. I'm not sure that they managed to make any significant progress with the first campaign that lasted a short time, it takes at least 6 months for a significant brand establishment.

I know that, but judging by the number of complaints, I think they've acquired a decent user base. I just want to see if the service continues to grow at the same rate.

Kao sto sam obecao ranije danas Daniel91, evo i mjesecnog pregleda naseg boarda za mjesec Lipanj. Pregled je standardno napravljen uz pomoc pomoc DdmrDdmr Bitcointalk Merit Dashboarda te BitList.

Chartove sa usporedbama svih lokalnih boardova za Lipanj 2026 mozete naci na Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity threadu.

Analiza broja postova tijekom Lipnja 2026

Tijekom Lipnja na nasem boardu je napisano 334 posta, sto je neznatan pad u odnosu na svibanjske brojke (342 posta). S obzirom da se tijekom ljeta generalno smanjuje aktivnost, ova brojka je zapravo odlicna te se nadam da cemo nataviti u istom tonu i ostatak ljeta.

Analiza merita za Lipanj 2026

Iako je broj postova ostao skoro kao i tijekom Svibnja, broj merita je znacajno pao, pa je tako tijekom Lipnja podijljeno 174 merita sto je dosta manje od svibanjskih 288. Unatoc padu, mislim da je to i dalje dobar broj, jer i dalje znaci da ni jedan kvalitetan post ne bi trebao ostati bez merita.

Na vrhu liste su ista imena ka i prethodnih mjeseci: na vrhu posiljatelja je Pmalek sa 48 merita, dok je na vrhu liste primatelja katanic98 sa 51 merita.

Lista aktivnih clanova tijekom Lipnja 2026

I za sam kraj, lista svih koji su bili aktivni na nasem boardu tijekom Lipnja, koja je za jedno mjesto duza nego prethodni mjesec. Na vrhu liste je ponovno Daniel91, slackovic je sa 5. mjesta dosao do 2. dok je katanic97zadrzao 3. mjesto.

I would like to know whether the service was affected by the suspension of the signature campaign? Meaning, did the number of visits/orders decrease during the last two weeks?

Yeah and that's really true, we have notice for many platforms here that they really shine if they manage to run a long term campaigns. Running a short one will not going to give them those recognition that they want, because result will not going to show up in short time period.

Usually it takes several months before their brand will be totally recognize since consistent visibility matters at all. They also have competitors in the market so they really need to exert lots of effort to market their exchange.

If they stick on the timeline you have said or maybe more. Maybe with that they can slowly see the real traction or result.

So we have the same:

At this point I am not even mad but I am surprised why PublicTalk792 and Rustam Meraj who actually seems to be guilty not coming forward and I am alone defending this

IPs for 11 months
Ok for IPs since you are on altcoinstalks and you know why IPs suddenly changed read these topic please
It is in urdu but I know since you doing investigation and you know how to translate

Read please what are they complaining and please see the post dates too. All those are Pakistani so suddenly altcoinstalks has stopped working wihtout VPN.

or you think above are my alts too.

This is the reason all of sudden IPs are changed because altcoinstalks stopped working wihout VPN (and as AI it says the reason most probably from the hosting since same ips it could be tagged as DNS)

After VPN it starts working here's screenshot just now I tried earlier before creating this post.

Without VPN

With VPN

Is that a coincident? I don't know, you tell me

Papers
Seriously this is conincident you know why... Pakistan have regions Province Punjab, Sindh, KPK and these notesbooks are only in Punjab given by Punjab Government our post users in community are either from Sindh or KPK we are few from punjab region. that being said there is a chance only few of us might use same notebook

And also take a look here. This is also the same paper but she cut the sides which has the reddish line.

Put my plate the one i posted earlier along with Publictalk792 and see patterns are similar but the one I used is plate and looks like the one Publictalk792 used is big bowl

Pans
again his pan does not match to mine
yes you comparing Publictalk792 and Rustam Meraj again. why you want me to defend their postings???
Again I am not sure PublicTalk792 and Rustam Meraj are alt of each other I know they are from punjab and does not mean these are my alt.

Maybe it is better, someone to open a topic in reputation, where more members will get involved, after all, this is a merit source application topic, so I believe many members are not so familiar with the drama that is happening here.

Since I am already getting red tagged because of this please create do me a favor and so I can defend my self better.
Do not foreget to create thread for Publictalk792 and Rustam Meraj too.

Odlicna ideja da zapocnes ovu temu, ja sam oduvijek imao odbojnost prema Meta sekciji, sto zbog drame koja se tamo uvijek dogadala, sto zbog negativnih iskustava prema nekim od clanova locala. I kako ne posjecujem tu sekciju dogodi se da mi promaknu bitne infofmacije, tako da ce ova tema svakako biti od koristi clanovima poput mene...

Takoder zanimljiva inicijativa za dijeljenjem signature bana, nadam se da nece prerasti u strahovladu kao sto je to bilo prije par godina kada su se sakom i kapom dijelili banovi za plagiranje (cak je i puno clanova locala "nestalo" u tom periodu).

@Examplens svaka cast na analizi za pizza contest, preletio sam topic i stvarno je izasla cijela drama oko toga. Takoder zanimljiva stvar koju sam primijetio, se cini da je Altcoinstalks poceo biti sve relevantniji forum u odnosu na Bitcointalk.

Quote from: examplens on Today at 07:36:19 PM

I remember that there was another exchange that had the same problem with MetaMask and one person who refused to remove a legit site from the blocklist. That chat lasted a long time, and the person on the other end was quite unapproachable for any constructive discussion.

Then it means this is not the first time they are falsely labelling a service as phishing without any proof and seem to have their egos bruised once an appeal is made.

Quote from: bitmover on Today at 09:04:08 PM

I think they are being cautious because there are some services which were initially legit and later on became exit scam.
I remember a few years ago a mixer which was also blocked in metamask , got unblocked and then made an exit scam...

I think after a few time metamask will unblock splash, as long as there is an open issue and they keep operating

If I recall well, 3 or 4 issues have been opened and Alex does not even want to listen/read/research. He just closed the issues and moves on. I think he is an incompetent sadist.

It's not "similar features", they are identical.

These are all the Pakistani users who submitted their pizzas:

CryptoYar (link)
Sawera2255@ (link)
shahzadafzal (link)
ThemePen (link)
qurbanshah02 (link)
Rustam Meraj (link)
Compromise me (link)
Adiljutt156 (link)
AgriTrack (link)
Abdul Sami786 (link)
Publictalk792 (link)
snowpega (link)
UpTober (link)

Not a single one has "these plates that are commonly used in Pakistani homes". And of course that is what everybody was expecting because the odds to find another Pakistani out of 10 taking part in a Bitcoin Pizza Contest using the same plate are virtually zero.

Now let's take a look at this utensils, I see you properly cleaned the black pan:

Here is the full photo of the utensils which I use to cook Pizza and the plate for a clearer and complete comparison. And also check the bowl and plates of Publictalk792. These are different.

As @examplens has already pointed out here, the pans are identical, and especially let's take a look at this specific mark:

Pizza on the left is Publictalk792's; pizza on the right is Rustam Meraj's.
What are the odds the other two users linked to you have the same pan with the same mark?

So we have the same:

IPs for 11 months
Papers
Plates
Pans

And we are supposed to believe this is all an incredible coincidence because out of 250 million of Pakistanis there are 3 in this very same contest sharing all these stuff?

At this point I'm sure that you three also had an Aurora Borealis localized entirely within your kitchen (3 merits to the first one who gets it).

Anyway that thread on Altcointalk was closed and I couldn�t see any evidence there it�s good that you bring it here. At least I can know what are those allegations.

You are connecting me to not one but two accounts I do not know why Publictalk792 and Rustam Meraj not coming forward to defend themselves. I have sent pm to both but did not get reply I do not know if Publictalk792 and Rustam Meraj is same person and they don�t to defend here or on Altcointalk.

I'm asking you for the third time: how is it possible that the admins from the other forum said you, Publictalk792 and Rustam Meraj shared the same IP for 11 months in a row and the very same day this information was made public the IPs changed?
Is this just another coincidence?

@Ale88 please check the full plate you checking the borders and those highlighted patterns are the actual patterns on plate not imperfections

I know that it's the pattern. The exact same pattern.

Its time for yet another brief overview of local boards activity, and this time for June 2026. All charts and table are made using data from @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard and Bitlist.

Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Bengali) don't have their own local boards yet, but are part of this overview anyway.

Post activity per local board during June 2026

During June, 13659 posts were written across 18 local boards, which is a small decrease compared to May numbers (13781). No change at the top 3: Nigerian far ahead, followed by Russian and Turkish local boards, while Pakistani overtook German board at the 4th spot.

I wonder what are Pakistani members missing in order to get the local board, since their numbers are strong month after month, and its going on for years.

Active members per local board during June 2026

1290 members wrote at least one post in one of the local boards, and is a small decrease compared to month before, as during May 1322 members were active. Nigerian board once again had more than 400 active members, while Russian board was far behind with still respectable 282 members.

I know I could go to court, but in my country crypto is not regulated, so it won't help. I regret not using BestChange � at least there is some oversight there, and they can step in if an exchange misleads users. These "no KYC" listings on platforms like OrangeFren are just for show. They don't actually protect anyone. I'm starting to see that more and more.

This is quite a wrong conclusion to draw. It only confirms that you may not have the best approach to the whole problem.
Like you made a mistake because you didn't do enough research on Ghostswap and potential warranty/escrow conditions in the case of a refund, so you sent a slightly larger amount at once to an "unproven" service. Now you recognise Bestchange as a better alternative, and if you try a little harder, you will see many cases where BC is accused because they preferred to defend the exchanger rather than the user.
Whatever your case ends up being, and I sincerely hope for a positive outcome, you need to learn as much as you can from it.

Thanks for your comment. Yes, I suppose I'm exaggerating Bestchange's merits a bit right now, but OrangeFren hasn't done anything for me so far either. I could be wrong, but that's exactly how it looks to me.

Before tagging these accounts, show me rules where we can link two accounts based on plates design ?

It seems I'll have to teach you some reading comprehension lessons first.

But seeing that you write nonsense like this, your proper place is in my ignore list.

No, i have earned hundreds of merits and many more in all these years, thats not an issue.

Airdropped merit does not really count as earned tbh.

Your reply was so low value that was deleted.

It looks like everyone in Pakistan has the same ip addresses, the same dishes, the same notebooks/papers. What's next that is the same, fingerprints? It's hard to believe that someone would be able to believe such a story. I don't know how this is not enough evidence from what examplens presented... It all started from a merit source application and eventually came to this. Truly unbelievable.

I think this is just a variation on something we�ve seen many times in the reputation section: that some people who start threads there in a seemingly honest way, what they do is expose themselves, prompt an investigation into them and end up end up being red-tagged.

Hteo sam jos pre da otvorim ovu temu. Mislim da je sad pravo vreme,jer nisu svi nasi clanovi aktivni u Meta - sekciji a ovde bi bilo sve na jednom mestu.

Desile su se neke vazne promene, a jedna od tih je da od pre 4 dana poceo da se deli signature ban za clanove za koje se smatra da su spam i da pisu bez ikakvog smisla. Ovlascenje je dobio nutildah i za sada ima dosta banovanih signature clanova. Tema je otvorena za pitanja i odgovore, a isto tako i za clanove koji mogu da uloze zalbu i dobiju obrazlozenje za svoj ban. Tema - Signature Ban Appeal and Q&A : appeal your sigban here takodje ne nutildah napravio alat gde mozete proveriti svoj score profila. Alat - https://postflayer.onrender.com/

Jos jedna tema koja mi je zapala za oko je CryptoYar - Merit Source Application gde je od jedne obicne prijave za merit source-a potencijalno otkriveno varanja sa alt nalozima i to na Pizza day contestu. Taj clan je dobio glavnu nagradu od $1500 pa se sada gleda da li je varao i koliko alt nalog ima. U toj temi je @examplens imao jako dobro zapazanje i izneo neverovatne dokaze.

Tako da mislim da ova tema moze da bude dobra za diskusiju izmedju nas jer u poslednje vreme se stvarno desavaju promene i zanimljive stvari.
