Hi, there currently is a discussion at Edit warring notice board you may be involved in. Thanks. Ladislav Mecir (talk) 12:12, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to blockchain, here's your accordion
Cheers for the discussion around blockchain - we've had to get super-harsh on any edit even tangential to this stuff, basically because spammers mean we can't have nice things. Below is the standard notice about rules anyone editing in the area should be aware of.

It makes editing in the area hard, because there are true statements that can't go in because there's no good source for them - meaning mainstream RSes or peer-reviewed academic works, and not crypto sites because even the "good" ones are basically promotional. The Blockchain article in particular needs a thorough cleanup, there's still lots of dubious claims and sourcing.

COI
Hello Bram, please disclose any blockchain related COI you may have. Are you associated with BitTorrent the company that was sold to tron, or this page Bram Cohen? also looping you. Thank you Jtbobwaysf (talk) 19:35, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

I am that Bram Cohen and I did found BitTorrent but I'm no longer in any way affiliated with BitTorrent and have never been affiliated with Tron. I am the founder of chia.net and am working on blockchain technologies. I'm obviously not trying to hide my affiliations, going by my actual name and all, but I'm not super familiar with what Wikipedia considers potential conflict of interest and where and how it's supposed to be revealed.

 * We define conflict of interest as the same as any credible media organization - editing about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships (including cryptocurrency holdings). MER-C 13:38, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
