The one major rule
Be useful. Be honest. Respect privacy. Don't spam. Don't scam.
Our goal is to build a high-quality community for thoughtful discussion about cryptocurrency, privacy, security, decentralization, and related technology. We believe that, by working together, we can achieve this goal, create a safe and trusted environment for the crypto community. The following rules should help us maintaining a respectful and healthy community. We ask everyone to understand, respect, and follow them so that we can grow together. Suggestions and feedback are always welcome.
1. Add value to the discussion
Posts should contribute something useful: an informed question, original analysis, news with context, technical information, research, or a meaningful discussion. Avoid one-line posts such as "I agree," "Great project," or "To the moon" unless they genuinely contribute to the conversation.
2. Avoid Duplicate topic from other community
Please do not copy and repost topics from other communities. This is very important for keeping our forum original, useful, and free from repeated discussions. Report to moderator and moderators should immediately remove the copied topic.
If you find an interesting topic in another community that you would like to discuss here, please write your own short summary and include the URL to the original topic. This helps us avoid duplicate discussions, respect the original source, and keep our community focused on meaningful conversations.
Exceptions are allowed only on Announcement and service topics.
3. No Spam
Do not use the forum primarily to promote a website, product, token, referral code, or service. Repeated low-quality posts may be removed and the account may be restricted.
4. No unsolicited advertising
Advertising, promotional campaigns, referral links, affiliate links, token launches, and commercial services are not allowed unless explicitly permitted in the appropriate forum section. If promotional posts are allowed, clearly label them as promotional content such as: [ANN], [Signature], [Review], [Exchange] etc. No URL shorteners that require users to view an ad.
5. No scams or deceptive schemes
Scams, phishing, impersonation, fake giveaways, fraudulent investment opportunities, Ponzi/pyramid schemes, and deliberately misleading claims are prohibited. Do not ask users to send you cryptocurrency or private keys. No begging.
6. Respect privacy
Do not attempt to identify, track, deanonymize, dox, or expose another user. Discussions about privacy technology are welcome. Debate projects, technologies, protocols, policies, and ideas vigorously, but remain respectful toward other users. Targeting real people for exposure or harassment, personal attacks, threats, and targeted abuse are not acceptable.
7. Be transparent about financial interests
If you are promoting or discussing a project, token, company, protocol, or investment in which you have a financial interest, disclose that relationship.
8. Use appropriate categories and titles
Post in the correct section and use descriptive titles.
Good:
"How does CoinJoin improve transaction privacy?"
Poor:
"Question"
This makes discussions easier to find and keeps the forum organized.
9. Avoid low-effort AI-generated content
AI tools may be used to assist with research and writing, but users remain responsible for what they publish. Do not flood the forum with automatically generated articles, comments, summaries, or repetitive content that provides little original value.
10. No plagiarism
Do not present someone else's writing, research, code, or analysis as your own. Credit the original author and provide a source when sharing substantial material. Plagiarism is not allowed. Any user found intentionally plagiarizing may have their content removed and may be banned from the community.
11. Security discussions must be responsible
Security research, vulnerability analysis, privacy technology, and penetration-testing discussions are welcome when they are educational and responsible. Do not use the forum to distribute stolen credentials, personal data, malware, or instructions intended to harm others.
12. Keep discussions on-topic
Use the appropriate category and keep conversations reasonably related to the topic. Moderators may move posts to a more appropriate section. Moderators also may remove spam, scams, personal information, malicious content, duplicate posts, or other content that seriously harms the quality or safety of the community.
13. Don't abuse the reporting system
Do not mass-report posts simply because you disagree with someone's opinion. Use reports for genuine violations of the community rules.
14. When in doubt, ask
If you are unsure whether something is appropriate, contact the moderators before posting.
