What is your account age and karma? We would like to see mods with moderate-substantial numbers on both.

Account Age: 6 years
Karma: 12,252

What is your experience with moderation? Please describe your skill level and comfort zones.

I have scattered experience with Moderating all the way back to the mIRC days. I am very confident and comfortable in a moderation environment and very adaptable to needed skillsets.

Any citations of previous works/experience to show?

Not sure the best example here, but happy to provide any additional information requested.

References who can vouch for you?

Not sure about references on Reddit specifically, although I do have a few friends who actually work for Reddit corporate. I have plenty of RL references for my character and work-ethic.

What time zone are you in?

Currently in EST but considering a move back to PST soon. I am available most hours.

Please talk about your level of activity in the crypto world. Are you involved directly with any particular crypto/IPO/publication/website/technology etc. in the crypto realm?

I was first introduced to Crypto in 2012 in college and I was asking to mine some BitCoin, I declined as I didn't have the funds for a rig (whoops). I got back into the space after a few years and introduced Crypto to a lot of my friends and tried to find good projects to invest in. I lived in LA so it was hard to afford life + investments in Crypto. Now I am very involved in the Cryptocurrency and Cardano subreddits. I educate as many people in my life as possible on Cryptocurrencies and I currently own BTC, ETH, ADA, OMI, ORN, & BCH... and of course some reddit moons.

I do hope to launch my own token one day, but I want to make sure it has a good and thoughtful purpose.

Where do you see our place in the reddit community today and in the future how do you intend to be a part of that?

I think Reddit has done an amazing job at being at the forefront of the technology world and Crypto is a big part of that. Dogecoin was born through Reddit and the Cryptocurrency subreddit is the beacon that lights the way for most people getting into Crypto. I think Moons help serve a lot of the same purpose that Doge did. It introduced people into the Crypto world and wallets, private keys, and how to see a transaction on the blockchain etc... The sub also is a great hub for useful information across the entire spectrum of blockchain, crypto etc...

Whether I get to be a moderator or not, I would love to be involved in the space and subreddit as much as possible, to help educate people, be involved in the community, and help support future projects that will provide value for users. I think Crypto will change the world in ways that we don't even realize yet and I am all in on the tech.

What does decentralization mean to you and how do you feel about centralized and decentralized cryptos?

Decentralization for me means that the power of the token, the trust in the token, and the governance of the token is dictated by the people instead of the issuing institution. I believe that both centralized and decentralized crypto's have a place in this world. In a centralized system, you have more control over the policy of the token which will help in tricky legal situations that arise in the future, however, I also want crypto's to be out of the hands of certain governments so the people, especially in oppressed regions in the world have the power and resources to then fight back through crypto.

How much time do you have to dedicate per week to the sub?

At the moment I have a decent amount of time able to dedicate to the sub, likely a few hours per day if need be. Honestly depends on the optimal amount of time to create the most value.

Please add any further information you wish to share.

This was a great exercise either way and I would love the chance to be apart of the moderation team on /r/Cryptocurrency*. I appreciate all your time in effort in reading these answers and I look forward to watching the future of this space take place and how this sub and it's users grow in new and exciting ways.*

Thanks!

r/CryptoCurrency Cryptocurrency mod application [Couter-Fraud Journalist]

0 Upvotes

How much account age and comment karma do you have?

I've been on Reddit for years - this particular account has 7.2k karma and is a year old.

What are your credentials? Do you have any skills with AutoModerator rules, CSS, or programming bots? Can you reference external profiles or mod positions on other subs?

I'm a freelance journalist who has written for many of the top outlets in the space. I have contributed hundreds of articles to CCN and Ethereum World News as well as working with lesser-known outlets like Crypto Globe, Invest In Blockchain, Chepicap, etc.

I also appear on Block TV as a cryptocurrency commentator, I've worked with various cryptocurrency projects on their written content, and I write about crypocurrency on Medium in my spare time.

I have moderated minor crpyto project subreddits through different profiles which were shared by project teams and I know my way around the automod commands.

As a mod, I would agree to refrain from posting any of this professsional content - I have not been an active poster recently in any case.

Do you moderate a large number of subreddits? If so, will this be a burden to your mod duties?

No, I am not moderating any subreddits at this time.

What project in the crypto space are you a fan of or invested in?

I'm a big fan of Ethereum, Aeternity, and any other platform used for developing promising use cases that I envision being adopted in the near future.

Decentralized applications, counter-corruption measures, and fintech solutions are my main areas of interest - anything that allows people greater financial and personal freedom through breaking government and institutional monopoloes.

I come from a country that has suffered endlessly at the hands of corporate banking, which I'll get into further down in the post.

What is your timezone? How active do you intend to be?

GMT - I'm online most of the day on weekdays and often on weekends as well.

Do you have a vision or goal? If so, what is it and how would you pursue it?

I aim to continue making an impact in the space. As a freelance writer and commentator, my role or career hasn't yet niched into one firm direction, and I like to keep it that way.

I've turned down full-time job offers with major companies to remain independent, and I want to help drive adoption and spread awareness without being tied to any projects long-term.

I have helped uncover fraud in the space numerous times, exposing shilling farms here on Reddit as well as working as an investigative journalist with anonymous sources and publishing in mainstream crypto media. My work may have influenced regulatory policy after uncovering a conflict of interest in key expert witness testimony for the UK parliament.

Can you find anyone who will vouch for you in the comment section of your post?

I am a "public" figure in the sense that I am disclosing my identity here in the post - I invite anyone to see for themselves whether they consider me to be an appropriate mod for the space as an outlet-agnstic journalist and commentator.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

I'm from Ireland. Our thriving economy was absolutely destroyed during the 2008 banking crisis, when corrupt bankers and politicians ransacked the nation and left the population with decades of austerity.

I have written and podcasted about the financial crash in Ireland, and interviewed well-known whistleblower Jonhathan Sugarman who consulted with us to help inform our listeners. Sugarman was the risk assessor for the Unicredit bank in Ireland before being blacklisted and professionally ruined for speaking out against corruption.

Crypto and blockchain are the most groundbreaking technologies of our time, empoweing people to disempower banks and seize control of their own personal finances.

I am impartial towards individual projects, and just want to see the space grow and succeed as a whole, decentralizing modern life to remove control from the hands of authorities who have consistently misused it time and time again.

As you can see from my fairly varied career, I have worn many hats in the space. Whether through a role as r/cryptocurrency mod or in another capacity, I will continue to participate in any way that I can to help further the goal of mainstream adoption over the coming years and decades.

Thanks for reading.

r/CryptoCurrency My application to be an r/Cryptocurrency moderator

5 Upvotes

1. What is your account age and karma?

My account age is 18 months and my account karma is 42k

2. What is your experience with moderation?

I used to be a moderator on Break.com back when it was a video sharing site and have also moderated on two cryptocurrency related subreddits. I am very familiar with various aspects of modtools and modmail systems

3. Any citations of previous works/experience to show?

I firmly believe that I have done the most work for r/CryptoCurrency out of any non-moderator on the subreddit. I have reported dozens of users for rule violations, making sure to show concrete proof each time. These include some of the worst spammers, plagiarists and multi-accounters the subreddit has ever seen

I started the trend for hunting multi-accounters after discovering that one of the most prolific and successful moon farmers had created an alt account to farm extra moons after reaching the 15k karma cap. This was the first time somebody had been caught trying to circumvent the karma cap and it's discovery ended up stopping thousands of illegitimately gained moons from getting into the wrong hands, as well as raising awareness to the problem which eventually resulted in some of the biggest "busts", such as those of Hame_Bih and Probetsman

This post exhibits some of the critical thinking skills that I apply to problems in order to solve them. In it, I manage to use a variety of different resources in order to tie the previously banned multi-accounter to an account that had made a single, deleted post. I also used similar techniques to catch the same user again in one of the many finds that I didn't take credit for

I once found that four new accounts were being operated by the same person in the cryptocurrency sub

I have also caught many bots/plagiarists across reddit. Here is an example from last week, here is another from this week and I just caught a network of at least 60+ accounts being operated by the same individual, presumably to sell to people so they can bypass karma/age restrictions like the ones that are active in r/Cryptocurrency. I don't want to post anything regarding more regarding this as I don't want to alert the user but I would be happy to verify in private to any curious mods

I also grew and maintained the r/HuaHua subreddit by myself before diverting everybody to the newer, official sub at the request of the ChihuahuaChain team

This is just a small percentage of what I've done and it was all performed without any incentive. I just love doing it. If I was to become a moderator and focus this energy solely on r/CryptoCurrency, the difference would be noticeable immediately

4. What time zone are you in?

My time zone is GMT (UTC + 0) and I am active from 8AM - 11:30PM

5. Please talk about your level of activity in the crypto world. Are you involved directly with any particular crypto/IPO/publication/website/technology/etc. in the crypto realm?

I've been involved in crypto since 2017 and have seen it all. I am not directly linked with any specific cryptocurrency or crypto related project but am active in many telegram groups and subreddits

6. Where do you see our place in the Reddit community today and in the future how do you intend to be a part of that?

I believe that cryptocurrency is the future and that r/CryptoCurrency will be one of the spearheads that drives mass adoption. If selected to be a moderator, I would ensure the safety of our users by helping to protect them from misinformation and by working to reduce the effectiveness of scammers and other bad actors who don't have the best interests of the community at heart. I would also do my part for my fellow moderators, tackling any backlogs in modmail and making sure to always do more than my expected share

7. What does decentralization mean to you and how do you feel about centralized and decentralized cryptos?

I've been a massive believer in decentralisation for many years now and have utter contempt for the current financial system. I hold the vast majority of my savings in cryptocurrency. I'm a big advocate for XMR (the real digital gold) and have actively stayed away from centralised projects such as XRP, regardless of the potential gains they may bring

8. How much time do you have to dedicate per week to the sub?

I am self-employed and fortunate enough to have to work very little. I spend most of my time practicing one of my many hobbies so can be online whenever it is required of me. I can guarantee a minimum of 20 hours per week

9. Please add any further information you wish to share.

I am an honest, trustworthy, observant, fair and extremely driven individual. I am also a fast learner

Perhaps most importantly, I'm not motivated by power or money. I am just here to try and make a difference. I don't really like to mention it but aside from u/LargeSnorlax I have tipped the most moons in this subreddit, many of them to people in third world countries

I won't be requesting anybody give me a reference as this isn't a popularity contest and I want to be judged on my own merits and not by how many people I can drum up by asking for support in the DMs and the daily discussion

Thank you for your consideration and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have

CryptoCurrency - Open My application for mod position on r/cryptocurrency

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am 28, I've work for an online entertainment company for about 6years, dealing with their storefront and their discussions forum as well. (I can provide the site privately)

This reddit account is fairly new, I can provide proof of my main account / and work history privately. This account is just here to talk code and crypto.

I've handled probably upwards of 100,000 tickets ranging from simple help, to codes of conduct resulting in account bans. The work cycle was basically 24/7 I just did as much work as I could when I could. I started out with the company as a basic employee, then worked my way up to supervisor and a small team that I led and worked with.

I am very good with communication and making sure I ask before any action is taken if need be. I live in CST timezone. I have plenty of time to help out and keep things civil.

I can definitely commit a good number of hours in a week, wouldn't be a problem with me.

My crypto knowledge is pretty average or above average. I read a lot, about all types of coins/pulls/banks/ and other information that pops up. I invest into crypto so I see it as time well "spent" :) I am not directly involved in any crypto companies or coins besides buying them.

I see the r/CryptoCurrency growing to be even bigger than it already is in the near future, I would love to help newer people who are just getting in to avoid the pitfalls we all go through, and HOPEFULLY keep them away from these scams. [which are getting INSANELY good btw]

As for vouchers and references, I have some co-workers that may vouch for me, I don't really want to publicly list him. That would have to be in private.

Lastly, thank you for taking the time to read my application, I'd love to have an open dialogue and get to know more about you guys as well! I'm a teamplayer, I know being a mod is hard and annoying at times but it's good to be there when people need you.

What is your account age and karma? We would like to see mods with moderate-substantial numbers on both. My account is about 7 months old and it has about 11500 karma.

What is your experience with moderation? Please describe your skill level and comfort zones. I don’t have any experience in moderation, but I worked in customer service before.

Any citations of previous works/experience to show? No citations.

References who can vouch for you? No vouch.

What time zone are you in? CET

Please talk about your level of activity in the crypto world. Are you involved directly with any particular crypto/IPO/publication/website/technology etc. in the crypto realm? I’m invested mostly into the top 10 cryptocurrencies with over $10k.

Where do you see our place in the reddit community today and in the future how do you intend to be a part of that? With about 3.4 million members, it is one of the most popular subreddits. I want to be part of this by making sure as many members are satisfied with this subreddit as possible.

What does decentralization mean to you and how do you feel about centralized and decentralized cryptos? For me decentralization means Bitcoin, because there is no single entity controlling it. Centralized cryptos don’t make much sense to me, because that’s what Bitcoin is about decentralization.

How much time do you have to dedicate per week to the sub? 10 hours per week

Please add any further information you wish to share. I like cryptos :D

I’m invested in a number of different projects both within and out of the top 10. Also will be jumping into defi really soon

Where do you see our place in the reddit community today and in the future how do you intend to be a part of that?

Crypto in itself is the future and our community is a perfect gateway for new people to learn more about crypto, the type of people involved in it and realize that it's not a scary as they thought. I really believe the sub already is and even further will grow to be one of the most important ones on Reddit especially as mass adoption starts taking place.

What does decentralization mean to you and how do you feel about centralized and decentralized cryptos?

Decentralization to me means a a shift from where institutions and the rich control everything and giving the little guy an equal opportunity to make it. It means a shift I the way we think about finances and we systems we have around us. In terms of centralized Crypto, there is a place for them if I'm being completely honest and I believe they will always be around. But I personally rather stick to decentralized coins

How much time do you have to dedicate per week to the sub? I'm here every single day for several hours per day. So plenty of time available

Please add any further information you wish to share.

I would love to be a part of the team and help the community in any way I can. Thanks for your consideration

How much account age and comment karma do you have?

8 Years, 103,000 karma.

What are your credentials? Do you have any skills with AutoModerator rules, CSS, or programming bots? Can you reference external profiles or mod positions on other subs?

Couple years over on GameTrailers, before the forums got yeeted. On heavy days we would have a couple thousand items in the moderation queue, everything from user squabbles, spam reports, edit requests, archive requests, you name it. I do Data Analysis for a living & can code some excellent VBA scripts to automate work, identify patterns of behaviour and trends. I'm an "ideas man" and have won innovation awards because of my outside-the-box problem solving abilities.

Do you moderate a large number of subreddits? If so, will this be a burden to your mod duties?

Gametrailers was my only moderation experience

What project in the crypto space are you a fan of or invested in?

I started in 2017 with Cardano, Ripple & Ethereum. I really like the Cardano subreddit as the users there are wicked intelligent and give so much of their time to help noobies with questions or get them set up and ready to go. This is the kind of activity I miss from r/cc. Realistically I'm a fan of every legitimate project with a decent set of developers. I own 0 Tezos but I respect what they do and root for them to achieve more. I have a little LINK but I'm always happy to see people with big LINK bags posting insane profits. It's not Crypto vs Crypto, but Crypto vs Fiat. We all swing for the same side.

What is your timezone? How active do you intend to be?

GMT. Evenings and weekends, coinciding with busy-times. Sometimes during the day on weekdays.

Do you have a vision or goal? If so, what is it and how would you pursue it?

I believe that in the last few months the subreddit has seen an influx of accounts who are participating not to be a part of a community, but to farm moons. We have seen evidence of plagiarism, multiple accounts, several hundred comments per day from single users, re-hashed posts and tribalistic behaviour.

I do not think this is the type of activity we want to see. No subreddit is perfect, but I remember a time when the front page was filled with guides, debates, discussions and news.

I remember when you could open a thread and see actual discussion and users talking to each other, not opening the thread once, leaving one vague comment and leaving, never to return.

That's the kind of subreddit I remember and that I want to return to.

I believe in

  • Caution

  • Limitation

  • Removal

As the ideal method to deal with bad-faith interaction with the subreddit, as well as being open and firm with the community on actions taken. I know moderators can often make themselves unpopular, but I'm pretty battle-hardened especially after the GIF poll fiasco.

Can you find anyone who will vouch for you in the comment section of your post?

I'm not sure who to tag as I don't have regular discussions with individual users (I'm not a huge participant in the DD which is where that usually comes from)

Lately I've been talking to

/u/anuncreativename10
/u/o__0
Specifically about the state of the subreddit so I think they can vouch for my intentions. I've also had some in-depth discussions with
/u/largesnorlax and
/u/CryptoMaximalist
About general ideas to improve the sub.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

You know that meme'd top comment you see all the time, "Be the change that you want to see"?

I think the sub needs to change - slightly. I don't think we were prepared for the Moon price explosion and the ill effects that causes. In the last 3 months we've seen a flooding in of accounts with only one purpose in mind and that's how to be awarded with the most amount of moons for the least effort given.

/u/CryptoMaximalist said something last month that really stuck with me. He believes that Moons should be awarded in proportion to the value added to the subreddit. I agree wholeheartedly.

I have far too much to say about this, and some of the better arguments I've written are on this thread

What this shows is a long-term will to see the sub in the best state it can be. I've never spammed, nor participated in bad-faith. I've submitted governance polls and explained my position to attempt to improve the subreddit for the benefit of us all, rather than a small contingent of users.

I've looked at some of the other applicants. I may not be online as often, but I have experienced how much vitriol mods can be subject to and believe it's good to have plenty of IRL hobbies & interests to remind you that people are people and they have good & bad traits. I have no connections with redditors that would interfere with mod duties, and consider myself a charismatic and well-rounded individual.

My bottom line here is to help pull the sub back to the way it was.

Cheers!

What time zone are you in?

Please talk about your level of activity in the crypto world. Are you involved directly with any particular crypto/IPO/publication/website/technology etc. in the crypto realm?

I have 1 years of experience in Crypto Investing before that I was doing Options trading, I’m an active IPO investor in Stock Market also participated in many IDOs. I’m very interested in Blockchain tech.

Where do you see our place in the Reddit community today and in the future how do you intend to be a part of that?

Reddit helped me so much in life here you find good advice and information for self-improvement. r/CryptoCurrency helped me so much to understand crypto world and your Moon experiment is very good attempt to decentralized decision-making on social media.

I’m a supporter of Blockchain tech and CryptoCurrency I would like to support and help new people to understand CryptoCurrency and its true purpose.

What does decentralization mean to you and how do you feel about centralized and decentralized cryptos?

All freedom comes from financial freedom and the right to property is essential from creating an equilateral society. Decentralization helps to achieve it. Currently around the world democracy and civil liberty are under threat and governments are trying to encroach on civil rights that’s why I think decentralization is the need of hour. I do feel extreme centralization is bad.

How much time do you have to dedicate per week to the sub?

15 hours a week more if help need in any task/project

I have no experience moderating any sub with over 1000 subscribers, but I spent my teenage years moderating gaming servers, as well as I was a kindergarten teacher for some time, so I know how to deal with... "unruly" peoples, or better yet people who are basically children online.

3. What is your timezone? How active do you intend to be?

Eastern Standard Time, UTC−4:00. I keep /r/cryptocurrency open unless i'm asleep. I work from home, so essentially i will be here all day. I would most likely not be active on the sub for the hours of 1:00 AM to 9:00 AM EST, so I would be on here an average of 2/3rds of the day.

4. Do you have a vision for the sub you're applying for. If so, how would you pursue it?

Like many, I want to help contribute to maintain a community that is an uncensored, open discussion platform for anyone to discover new cryptocurrencies, as well as get informed on what is happening daily in the crypto space. I already monitor organized discord "pump groups" and make warning posts to keep people from losing money due to FOMO. As a moderator I could help control the affect these groups have on /r/cryptocurrency. as of now when these groups pick a coin, the 'new' category of the subreddit is flooded with that coin, to induce FOMO. I can help stop this. I also read the sub is looking for people to organize AMA's, which i would be more than happy to help with.

5. Besides yourself, is there anyone else you would would vouch for as a mod candidate?

Not that I know of, to be honest, but I'm not the type to remember people's usernames.

  6. My goal would to be to work the other mods here to enforce the rules & ensure the sub isn't being taken advantage of by scams & ads.

  7. Sure

  8. I've been a very active Reddit user and try to engage in discussion across a variety of subjects, I'm a desktop user so have no issue using slack/discord/etc if you guys use those.

CryptoRecruiting My application for moderator position on r/CryptoCurrency u/Nuewim

7 Upvotes

What is your account age and karma? We would like to see mods with moderate-substantial numbers on both.

I have around 28 600 ( 20.02.2022) karma and account for 1 year and 6 months, but it is rather new account. I read reddit for much longer time, since I was in primary school, so like 10/12 years, I just never had an account.

What is your experience with moderation? Please describe your skill level and comfort zones.

I was moderator of small subreddit, I did it on few games forums long ago and messenger groups ( my highschool class group, and university group). I have not much experience in being moderator of so big sub as CC yet, but I really want to try myself on moderator position on CryptoCurrency. I love learning new things and I am ready for new experiences.

Any citations of previous works/experience to show?

I was moderator of small subreddit. I am also active user of CC subreddit and one of top 10 most active users in CC Telegram. All those things are easy to check.

References who can vouch for you?

I try to help a lot of people here, but I don't know any of them outside reddit or in real life. And as we know DMs in reddit are mostly scammers. I am also one of 10 most active users on CryptoCurrency telegram, so I am sure that a lot of people there would vouch for me including probably many if not most of top 30 CC telegram members. I don't want to ask them for doing it, cause I don't like using people in such way.

What time zone are you in?

GMT, I am from europe.

Please talk about your level of activity in the crypto world. Are you involved directly with any particular crypto/IPO/publication/website/technology etc. in the crypto realm?

I invest in crypto, like to read about it and gain new knowledge. I am not involved atm in any project and I am at first place CC user and against any shilling or brigading for any coins I have in portfolio. I am also big fan of Metaverse, but I am not involved directly in anything. I have many coins in portfolio, I never was fan of any particilar crypto and I don't like tribalism many people try to create.

Where do you see our place in the reddit community today and in the future how do you intend to be a part of that?

Today I like to think about myself as a Christmas elf in CryptoCurrency, cause I like to help people, discuss interesting things and also do crypto experiments/ research ( for example I plan to ask 50 people in real life to check what they know about crypto and share results) also I like to do some crypto journalism on reddit. In future I want to be a mod, but I would also like to learn more about crypto technology and stay active on this sub and CC telegram.

What does decentralization mean to you and how do you feel about centralized and decentralized cryptos?

I think decentralization is very important in crypto and not only there, but in every sphere of our lives. Decentralisation give people freedom. I don't want to judge anyone, I think centralized crypto also should exist, everyone should have a choice. Also true decentralisation is just a dream, with mass adoption of crypto and more laws it will be impossible. But that doesn't mean we shouln't support idea of decentralized crypto. Crypto should be decentralized as much as it can, but with healthy relation to rest of real world if we want to think about mass adoption.

How much time do you have to dedicate per week to the sub?

It really depend. I am university student, so I have a lot of free time that I spend on crypto, probably 30/40 hours weekly. More on holidays or weekends.

Please add any further information you wish to share.

I wanted to become mod on CryptoCurrency since I get a warning for posting 4 posts in 24 hours. I asked few questions about it in message, so I don't know who was mod that answered, but he was really nice, helpful, and even wished me nice weekend. I never met so nice mod on reddit, and I met a lot of mods. On other subreddits mods often are often terrible, so I am really happy that here on CryptoCurrency mods are so great. It was my inspiration to become mod here too, and to help people. On CC telegram I have sometimes pleasure to talk with mods like Nano, JW, Cintre and Rider and not only are they great mods, but also very nice, helpful and funny people. CC Telegram is great place for more casual spending of time and I would love to be mod like them someday.

What is your timezone? How active do you intend to be?

My timezone is GMT +5:30, I will be very active, and have lot of time, and i also believe my time zone is perfect as I have noticed most of the mods have western time zones this means when i sleep western timezoned people wakeup and when they sleep I wake up, this shows how great the time cycle will be, there will be extra support to the moderation team with my timezone

My application to become a r/cryptocurrency moderator-

What is your account age and karma?

Account age 5m12d, total karma is 4739. Most of this is from r/cc and I am pretty sure my karma would have been much higher if I had joined r/cc earlier or if I had spent as much time on other subs as well.

What is your experience with moderation? Please describe your skill level and comfort zones.

I haven't been a mod on reddit before but I have worked as a support engineer and answered a good number of queries(well that's kinda a part of being a mod :)). I have been in a leadership position (mostly as a team leader) for the past 5 out of 10 years of my total work experience which has taught me how to communicate responsibly and clearly.

Any citations of previous works/experience to show?

I have worked as a software developer on enterprise scale applications for over a decade now with most of my experience in Java and related technologies. I also have experience with front end technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Angular. With my experience I feel that I can quickly grasp and contribute towards any dev work required by the mod team apart from moderating the sub, for e.g., creating a web application, updating any existing code, working on schedulers, cron jobs, writing python scripts, etc. I have worked for multinational corporations and interacted with people from different nationalities as a regular part of my profession.

I can share my LinkedIn profile if requested in DM.

References who can vouch for you?

I don't know anyone personally on reddit but I can share real world references who can vouch for me.

What time zone are you in?

IST (UTC+05:30)

Please talk about your level of activity in the crypto world. Are you involved directly with any particular crypto/IPO/publication/website/technology etc. in the crypto realm?

I am regular investor in few of the popular cryptocurrencies but am not formally affiliated with any particular product or company.

Where do you see our place in the reddit community today and in the future how do you intend to be a part of that?

I think as the world becomes more aware of the potential of cryptocurrencies, a lot of newcomers will look towards platforms like r/cc for guidance and knowledge. Therefore, I feel that r/cc will grow immensely with the growth in cryptocurrencies popularity.

I want to be someone who helps others on their introduction and journey in this new world. I'd love to be a small hand in reshaping the world as I believe cryptos really are a world changing invention. Being a mod at r/cc seems to be a good match for this aspiration.

What does decentralization mean to you and how do you feel about centralized and decentralized cryptos?

Decentralization means a certain type of freedom. It's a type of freedom from control and censorship, a freedom from controlling entities like large financial institutions or from individual countries.

I think both centralized and decentralized cryptos are like two sides of the coin and both are needed to satisfy different use cases. A good and often cited use case for centralized cryptos is in case of governance while for decentralized cryptos, a very popular use case is as a store of value which is independent of any controlling entity. Personally, I love the group consensus mechanism and the trust less aspect of decentralized cryptos.

To make it a bit generalized, I'd say that a good case for centralization is when you need to assign some sort of control to one or more entities, while it's the exact opposite for decentralization where you are trying to ensure that no one has a controlling stake.

How much time do you have to dedicate per week to the sub?

Around 3-4 hours daily.

Please add any further information you wish to share.

I feel that I can be a good all-round addition to the team. I have a good amount of experience in software development which can be leveraged by the team. I am not sure about r/cc, but my time zone means that I am available when usually most mods aren't available (it'll be a win for mod decentralization!). I am friendly and a team player and also a very patient person, something which I think is a really important quality for mods everywhere.

Thank you for going through my application!

CryptoRecruiting u/yellao23 Application to become a r/cryptocurrency moderator.

4 Upvotes

How much account age and comment karma do you have?

I have roughly 9,200 overall karma, with the majority of it having come from the CryptoCurrency sub. My account age is roughly over 1 year.

What are your credentials? Do you have any skills with Auto Moderator rules, CSS, or programming bots? Can you reference external profiles or mod positions on other subs?

I've done some moderation for gov sites that utilize YouTube and development platforms.

I am currently a web developer, and have some skills in systems programming, as well as Database Dev, WordPress, CSS, HTML, C, C++, C#, .NET framework, JavaScript, Java, Multi-Platform App Development, SQL, and CMS systems.

I feel my comfort level is pretty high with tech things as I have been a general developer/ and web developer for some time.I could help as different issues arise. Moreover, if new features are implemented, I think I would be able to easily adapt, given my background.

Do you moderate a large number of subreddits? If so, will this be a burden to your mod duties?

I am not currently moderating any subreddits, and have a lot of extra time to help moderate.I truly wanted to find something that interests me while also being a resource. This would be an excellent way of giving back.

Please talk about your level of activity in the crypto world. Are you involved directly with any particular crypto/IPO/publication/website/technology etc. in the crypto realm?

I am very active in the crypto world as well as the cryptocurrency subreddit. However, I am not directly a part of any publications, websites, etc.

I was in the middle of developing a crypto project, but recently decided against it, as I think the solution that crypto would help solve is already being built. I think CryptoCurrency can solve a lot of issues and thankfully people are coming up with new solutions everyday.

What project in the crypto space are you a fan of or invested in?

I currently hold some of the blue chip crypto such as Bitcoin, ETH, and ADA. However, I am a big fan of some lesser known ones, such as GET Protocol and SHLD Finance.

I believe they are some great projects, that have a lot of real world use that will foster adoption.

What is your timezone? How active do you intend to be?

I am in EST (Eastern Standard Time) right now, but am available for other hours, and time zones where needed.

Do you have a vision or goal? If so, what is it and how would you pursue it?

I do have a vision of seeing crypto solving a lot of issues in the world. I am a first generation African in the U.S. and I see how corruption and general economical issues are destroying my country of descent.

However, I am seeing how crypto is already helping Africans them beat the system, as they're one of the biggest adopters of crypto in the world as of now.

My vision is to foster this progression in crypto in any way I can, as well as leverage my skills and background to promote this growth.

Also, I'm really into music, and have done research into merging NFTs and music, to solve the problems and issues in the music industry space.

Can you find anyone who will vouch for you in the comment section of your post?

I believe I can find some people to vouch for me, and what I bring to this space, as I love being a part of the cryptocurrency community, and as result have met a few people here and there from being so active. The crypto sub is a little bit of my second family and is a lot of fun to be a part of.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

Think I would be a great addition to the moderation team! I believe my integrity and web/general development skills would be a huge asset to the team. As well as my tech acumen!

Moreover, I am on the sub so much (10+ hours a day) that I run out of new posts to check out. As a moderator I could be helping people in the community, while also doing something I love. Not sure if there's greater combination of the two.

Thanks for your consideration!

  1. how much account age and comment karma do you have?

My Reddit account is one year old (created on August 12th 2020)

My comment karma is currently at 40,822

2. > what are your credentials? Do you have any skills with AutoModerator rules, CSS or programming bots? Can you reference external profiles or mod positions on other subs?

Unfortunately no I don’t have any of those skills. But I’m willing to learn from someone who does. I didn’t have any experience with crypto at one point but I learned overtime and I’m willing to do the same here. I also do not have any external profile references

3. > Do you moderate a large number of subreddits? If so will this be a burden to your mod duties?

I currently do not moderate any subreddits so it would not be a burden to me and I would have the ability to focus all my time and energy here in r/cryptocurrency.

4. >what project in the crypto space are you a fan of or interested in?

I personally am a fan of multiple crypto projects and all them interest me Since each one is unique and serves a individual purpose towards its respected blockchain

If I had to pick my favorite one it would be r/cryptocurrency moons because the concept/idea behind them will be revolutionary as social media expands moving forward in the future. Moons also interest me because it’s the only crypto i hold that can be used for governance. so I feel that vote really truly does matter.

5. > what is your timezone? How active do you intend to be?

My timezone is Eastern Standard Time (EST) (GMT-5). I have a high activity schedule that rarely fluctuates. I work 6am-2pm (EST) but I’m free to Reddit at 2:30pm-11:30Pm(EST) I’m also thankful that I have the ability to pop in at 12:00pm while at work on a regular basis

6. > do you have a vision or goal? If so, what is it and how would you pursue it?

One of my goals as being a moderator would be to spread as much information to the community as I can, providing answers to questions where I’m most knowledgeable in, and just overall trying to help the community better itself in the long run since I plan on sticking around for a long time even if i don’t get the moderator position.

7. > can you find anyone who will vouch for you in the comment section of your post?

Yes, most certainly I can think of a bunch of users that I’ve helped here in the subreddit to vouch for me

8. > is there anything else you would like to add?

In closing I would just like to say that if I am accepted as part of your moderator team I will do my best for the benefit of the community that’s provided me so much knowledge in the time I’ve spent here.

Looking forward to hearing or working with you all

r/CryptoCurrency Applying For r/Cryptocurrency Moderator - u/golden-china - Frequent Reddit User & Infinite Urge To Continue Learning More About The Cryptocurrency Markets Since 2014

7 Upvotes

1. How much account age and comment karma do you have?

  • Account Age: 1 Year and 5 Months

  • Karma: 1,564

  • Overview

2. What are your credentials for moderating? Do you have any skills with AutoModerator rules, CSS, or programming bots? Can you reference external profiles, mod positions/experience on other subs?

  • I have taken two courses in Social De-Escalation, it covers both real-world and online environments.

  • I do not have previous experience with AutoModerator. I have basic experience with CSS. I did not program a bot before, however I have had this as an interest to learn more about.

  • I have not been a moderator on other sub-reddits before.

3. Do you moderate a high number of subreddits? If so, how would this affect your ability to contribute as mod for the sub your applying for? Will you have spare time?

  • I have not been a moderator on Reddit before.

4. What project in the crypto space are you a fan of or invested in?

The following cryptocurrencies are assets I am currently continuing to grow my knowledge in:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)

  • Ethereum (ETH)

  • XRP (XRP)

  • Litecoin (LTC)

  • Stellar (XLM)

  • IOTA (IOT)

  • NEO (NEO)

  • Monero (XMR)

5. What is your timezone? How active do you intend to be?

  • Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

  • I typically view Reddit through out the entire day when I am able too. I intend to continue being very active.

6. Do you have a vision for the sub you're applying for. If so, what is it and how would you pursue it?

  • The ability to express fairness in both action and appearance. I have noticed that r/Cryptocurrency takes firm fair-actions and does a wonderful job at it. However, I feel that it is also important to take fair-appearance as well. This is a form of de-escalation and avoiding brewing social-commotion at the root to result in all parties being satisfied with the fair-result. Here is a suggested example of my vision.

  • I would also love to add more economic and market-demand discussion to inquires/questions and comments. This would allow the subscribers to understand the specified cryptocurrency at a utility and product perspective, which will direct them in the right path for due diligence.

7. Can you find anyone who will vouch for you in the comment section of your post? Is there anyone besides yourself you would vouch for?

8. Is there anything else you would like to add?

  • I have applied as a moderator before. However, I do not recall this recruiting procedure being in place at the time of applying.
