In the spirit of transparency and community safety, I am proposing a Bitcoin Address Verifier tool built specifically for BitcoinTalk Forum users.
Let me explain in detail the workings and how the functionality is to be.

I read through your proposal and dislike it.

Forum is for freedom but also privacy and anonymity. Your proposal destroys many purposes of the forum in privacy and anonymity.

Users have to be responsible for their decisions when posting their addresses in the forum, but it doesn't mean the forum needs to mark all forum members' addresses with labels/ tags that as said lead to nothing good for privacy and anonymity.

Thnk you for your honest fedback I fuly respect your stance on privacy and the forums core principles

Just to clarify my aim & gOal

The tool does nt store any data or does it try to unmask or deanonymize users

It will only shows what is already publicly visible on the forum via search or explorer APis

There is no tagging or labeling of forum members or addresses beyond what is posted voluntarilly

I also agree that labeling users is problematic thatis why I focus only on addressesnot identities nd even then it will only be for

- Scam board mentions

-inactive or zero-tx wallets

- optionaly known flagged users already in the DT system

the DT feature canbe disable

Iam not trying to track people but help traders and escrow agents save time when doing their own due diligence. That iss the main goal.
