What do you think of the following post? It consists of ~1000 words and I wrote it from 0, without any plagiarism, in the hope of raising the awareness of new cryptocurrency users regarding ongoing scams.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2884483.msg29641718#msg29641718

I think that the most important thing we could do at this stage is to educate the general public about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. We could start with:

1. The philosophy of bitcoin/crypto
A lot of people think that bitcoin was created only to be used for illicit activities. With all the exaggerations of the mainstream media, that's what most of my acquaintances believe bitcoin is for: paying for drugs, laundering money etc. Everyday we hear on the news that a crime lord has been arrested and that the police confiscated x hundreds of bitcoins from him. When I tell them (my acquaintances) about Satoshi's vision (and not just that, there is a lot of philosophy regarding other coins), most of them come to the conclusion that they have been deluded by the 'sensationalist' media. They actually find cryptocurrencies quite fascinating and want to start using them.

2. How to use bitcoin/cryptocurrencies
There is a great percentage of people in the world who can barely send an e-mail, or who simply don't know know how to use a computer. Using cryptocurrencies is for them the equivalent of rocket science. Good guides and courses should help in this area.

3. Raise the awareness regarding crypto scams
A lot of beginners get scammed these days, so that their enthusiasm turns to rage towards cryptocurrencies. Some start to think that everything regarding crypto is a scam and discourage other people from using them.

Ce inseamna numar mare? E destul de usor sa ajungi la 1000-3000. Pur si simplu dai follow tuturor follower-ilor concurentei. Dupa vreo doua saptamani dai unfollow celor care nu ti-au dat follow inapoi.

O alta metoda ar fi, daca contul tau are legatura cu criptomonedele, sa faci o campanie de recompense pentru cei care te urmaresc, dau share si comentariu la postarea care anunta campania. Stabilesti o recompensa rezonabila intr-o criptomoneda populara si alegi cativa castigatori random (folosind un soft de randomizare). Filmezi extragerea si trimiterea recompensei, ca sa vada lumea ca te-ai tinut de cuvant. Cat sa fie recompensa? Depinde de bugetul tau. Ca idee: 0.01 ETH (aprox 8$ la pretul de azi) sau 0.01 LTC (aprox 2$ la pretul de azi).

Multumesc pentru feedback. Sa uitam totusi de ghidul respectiv, era doar un exemplu pentru a intari ideea ca sistemul de merit e random. E foarte posibil sa nu fi ales sectiunea potrivita pentru a-l posta, dar am vorbit cu mprep si a zis ca acolo ii este locul. La Beginners and Help ar trebui sa fie vorba numai despre Bitcoin. Vorbele lui, nu ale mele.

Am scris eu un mini-ghid pentru educarea incepatorilor in crypto sa nu-si ia teapa pe twitter sau la ICO-uri. Scris de la 0, fara plagiat. Merit primit? 0. Nu ma plang, ci doar vreau sa subliniez ca sistemul e oarecum random. Depinde cine iti citeste postarea si cat chef are de acordat merit. Oricum, sunt sanse mari ca postarile de valoare sa fie ingropate de mii de topicuri si postari spam. Vad in zona internationala ca primesc unii merit pentru te-miri-ce tampenii. Asta e viata.

Concluzie:
Probabil meritul va veni la un moment dat si probabil de cele mai multe ori va fi dat pentru ce te astepti mai putin.

PS: Ghidul despre care vorbeam poate fi gasit aici: The beginner's guide on how to not get SCAMMED with cryptocurrency    https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2884483.0

1. What difference does it make concerning merit whether the thread is here or in another section? Enlighten me, because I don't see any connection.

2. Should new users just stop posting useful information comprising of ~1000 words simply because they might be accused that they want to get merit? Such a crime, who would want to be accused of that? We should just stick to "Cool project!" posts.

3. What do you mean by classified information? Do you even know what that is?

4. How does your post add any value to this thread? If you don't have anything to add regarding the aforementioned topic, please refrain from posting.

It seems the twitter scam that I wrote about in the original post has evolved quite a lot. Now the scam post is followed by hundreds of other bot accounts which reply that they received the reward. Coinbase is facing the same issues: https://twitter.com/coinbase/status/967094969289846784

You can always follow the "Recently added" list on CMC: https://coinmarketcap.com/new/

Other than that, I suggest you do a little research for the latest successful ICOs. Then, follow their twitter pages and wait for their tokens to be listed on exchanges. After they get listed, wait for one or two weeks (or even more) for the price to drop, because there are always a lot of people who try to take profits from the starting price and they will dump their coins.

Yes, I plan to do so. I usually invest in projects that I like, even though I do not expect a huge ROI at first. My intention is to hold the tokens for a year or two, see where the project goes. I think it's less stressful this way. Also, keep in mind that a lot of great companies took years to develop their outstanding products - it doesn't just happen overnight.

You can still participate in bounties if you have good translation skills or if you are popular on social media (having a lot of followers on twitter who engage with your tweets is pretty useful).

LE: you can check this post here about bounties: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2885674.msg29684310#msg29684310

Apart from the criteria mentioned by AdolfinWolf, I also look at that exchange's history:
- whether it was hacked or involved in controversy,
- how they reacted to unfortunate events (hacks, crashes etc.)

You could also check whether they are:
- friendly to hard-forks
- distributing GAS (if you are the NEO type) etc.

M-am inscris de cateva zile. Sunt deja cativa romani in comunitate, iar discutiile pe discord sunt destul de interesante. Sa vedem cu airdropurile ce va iesi.

I've been using https://www.cryptocompare.com for the past months. It suits me because I can create multiple portfolios and see them in different currencies. Another advantage is that I can acces it from both pc and phone.  

A company for which you undergo the KYC process can only link your identity to the provided address for their own purposes. If you choose to apply for another ICO (of another company) by another name (your brother's) but with the same address, then there shouldn't be any issues.

Understand this: sharing of customers' personal data between companies is prohibited by law in most countries. So, if you have any problems, you can sue them (and you should, they never should have played with your privacy and your trust in them!).

The thing I like about Friendz is that they have a working product. Their platform is running and it has already attracted a lot of users. Their reviews are excellent, there is a lot of hype behind them, but I don't think that there will be huge gains after the ICO. I see it more like a long-term investment.

Other than that, I really, really doubt that this thread belongs here. This is the bitcoin section. You can find the altcoin discussions here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0

As a matter of fact, you can find a lot more information on their official thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2815966.0
