Re: Who are the most trustworthy Bitcointalk users?

-snip-

How can u trust someone whom u have neither seen in real life nor have personal identification details ? Is not it normal, that someone to be trusted, he/she should declare his/her real identity ?

If I declare to you now, that I am:

Sandra L. Ward
Camiño Real, 73
48380 Aulesti

how does that make me trustworthy?

Personal identification for trust is not what u declare randomly on the forum. You need to submit a clear image of yours holding your passport/driving license etc. and a code written on paper that would be pre-submitted to the forum. You'll find something like this partially on How? Get Verified of http://www.reddit.com/r/GirlsGoneBitcoin.

What can you do with the ID though? Nothing. Except some people could pretend to be you thats a downside to providing your id otherwise your just going to know their name & address but that isn't going to help getting back what ever you lose to them.

Knowing the real name and address definitely helps a lot in getting back the stolen things. In general people dont tend to scam with their real identity.

Hasn't stopped people before search up the thread of Bitcoin major scams a lot of the people who did scam are actually known to the public some exposed by people who have met them and others have provided their ID.
