1) The coins come from a 2013 address, not linked at all with Bitfinex. SOURCE (https://blockchain.info/es/address/13tikBdmMVkyuykDVNmv3tTr8YkVN3Xrut)
2) That address is very probably linked with the inputs.io scam/hack. SOURCE (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=327178.0)
3) The person who declared the giveaway will post an address himself and send the money to that address
4) He will then be able to claim he got the money from a giveaway and not from hacking/scamming

EDIT: in case it's not clear I'm speculating on what's happening in this post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1574127.0).

I don't get it what's with the 1000 btc give away? are you giving or just suggesting to how get it?

So, TradeFortress is trolling.

Well, if I had a shitload of coins I might have some fun like this also. :D

Check this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1574127.0

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1574127.msg15804187#msg15804187

Most probably yes, but he sent ~30 btc to some users (also 2 bitcointalk.org mods that didn't post their btc address).

Uhm I thought people will be chosen randomly with 1 BTC until all BTC is gone

Yeah, that is precisely what I have been thinking. The OP of the thread possess Bitcoins from a questionable source (hacked, private keys bought from a hacker whatever). This is why: (obviously)
The giveaway is available even to a newbie, and no reasonable restrictions whatsoever, and
The giveaway is 1 x 1000. All he needs to create is 1 account.

How did you link it with inputs.io hack?

Well, he still owes me 0.4 BTC from a signature campaign advertising imputs.io. :D

Yes, I remember he was quite fair and generous with his dealings here in the forums.

Couldn't this address be related to Bitfinex since 2013? Maybe I'm wrong here...

Fact is, he did give some people 1 BTC (or more), and he did throw away 10 BTC (https://blockchain.info/tx/1b0e0ca57e694df84310a131b6ced0a7c43460b0a51eff04943b5dbd65e8c66f) with a 1.9887 BTC free. That shows to me he doesn't care about money worth a mid-range family car.

I am very curious what his motives are. I hope he'll talk more, it feels like watching a bank robbery live but totally anonymous. I'd love to talk to him personally, but I won't PM him (I guess he has about 10k messages now asking for money).

I also like the dead man's switch, the whole topic reads like pure popcorn :D Maybe he just wants attention and a pat on the back for his hack. And by throwing around loads of money he sure got attention!

If his for real he can give 1 btc to each person that post their address to the thread but we can expect a lot of puppet and alts participating, same even if he randomly select an address.

So you also think he is TF, right ?

What makes you sure that TF =! bitfinex_hack

I don't think that is TF, but we cannot rule out the possibility. ;D



That is just to make his intentions appear not illegit. In relative terms, that is 1%.

I agree. We'll know in a week.

CHECK HOW MUCH FEE HE GAVE IN THIS TRANSACTION. THIS GUYS IS FUCKING CRAZY WTF https://blockchain.info/en/tx/1b0e0ca57e694df84310a131b6ced0a7c43460b0a51eff04943b5dbd65e8c66f

We won't. How many guys who posted in the thread do we know?



No, I don't think he is.

FUNNY MODE ON

I think he wants to help miners recovering after the halving, so that's why he's pumping up the fees

FUNNY MODE OFF

Whatever will happen we'll have some fun in the next days. Waiting to see what happens with our Robin Hood

I didn't say TF =! bfx hack, I think only that the owner of that address is TF.

This makes me feel that this giveaway is legit!

Just because a staff member left an address in the giveaway that does not mean that it is legit. We can't really know whether anyone is going to actually get 1000 BTC and whether that user isn't an alt of OP (unless it is someone that is already known/trusted). What we do know is that:
1) OP is the owner of that address.
2) OP has given away some BTC to a few people via IRC.

He didn't claim any participation restrictions but who says he won't filter it out. There has to be at least a few people with at least several hundred alts to their name.

If I were to win any of those funds i'd mix the shit out of it and slow bleed it into cash over a 10 or 20 year time span. Probably live on the reservation for a while too.

True. But for much smaller amounts, people usually ask for escrow. Considering this guy easily throws away $16k in Bitcoin, I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt here.

giveway scammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4vykkr/1000_btc_giveaway_from_your_friend_rekcahxfb/

I guess the 3rd option is the most likely to happen, so I don't either join the giveaway.

yeah, that giveaway is exactly a scam..

This Thing is crazy!

Why would someone giveaway 1000btc... is a monster amount.

I'm really curious to see how this is going to end.

I'm not sure if i'll post one of my address.... I still need to think about.

Anyway, goodluck everybody.  :)

His e-mail on slack is: ethereumdefense@yandex.com

So the plot thickens.. Is this hacker an Ethereum Maximalist trying to destroy Bitcoin?

Let me guess, next thing the Ethereum Maximalists are going to hard fork Bitcoin with all hacks/thieves addresses blacklisted and pump all their ETH into BBTC (Bailout-Bitcoin) to pump the price and hurt the Bitcoin price?! Damn Ethereum Maximalists.

This might be true !

He means to say the guy who is giving away 1000 bitcoins in other thread might be a hacker of bitfinex and hence he is holding such giveaway where he posts any other entry with his shill account and then declare it as winner Doing so will remove any pressure from him as he can simply tell others that he got the 1000 btc from giveaway

great idea op ! this might be true




Wish you had time to read thread and posts in it.

Well, there's 0 evidence that TF is involved in BFX hack, I think it's more probable that he is the one trolling with the giveaway than the guy who hacked bitfinex wants to give 1000 bitcoins that he already had and not connected with this theft.

Very interesting thoughts.
Of course, everybody will post the address there because there's nothing to lose and there's still a tiny chance that somebody with too much money (legit or not) wants to make a random guy happy.
I still fail to understand the ones that keep making new accounts to join that giveaway, anybody will reject them anyway.

However, it's good test on the forum software, let's see how big the thread will become and how it's going to be handled :)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1574127.msg15802572#msg15802572


reversed name = bfxhacker

Not having such a restriction is necessary for him to get more participants in the thread so it becomes next to impossible to spot his alt as well as gives him the ability to claim the prize with a low rank account / makes it appear more legit if he claims the prize with a high rank account.

This is also why he won't be splitting the prize among more than one winner.




That looks possible. ;D LOL

What if he is only trolling us? I know he already sent 30 btc to be more credible (10 to a burn btc address) the remaining to some users- and 2 bitcointalk.org mods

I for one think it was a good idea to start this thread so to get the bottom of this mastermind's giveaway if it even has any substance at all!  :-\

Posting any question on the giveaway thread does not bode any results because it just gets bumped off in a matter of minutes. The post count on there is now 37k from mostly brand new accounts and alts.  The membership of this forum probably rose 25% in the last 16 hours that this giveaway has started.
So let all the experts here put their great minds together and figure this out and in one week we will get our answer and debunk any doubters if this is fact true, which we are all here to figure out in this thread. :)

but how i can participate in this giveaway? ??? ??? ???

Could be. ;D He sure is enjoying it. :)

We are apparently discussing the logical motive behind the giveaway.
If I had 1000 BTC to giveaway, this is not what I would do. This makes it very likely that there is a different motive behind it.

There are many possibilities, which only makes it appear more convincing.




Once the prize is sent, we'd know who the alt is. (what was I thinking when I posted that?!)

What I meant is, you know the difference if the thread gets only 1 reply versus the thread gets 10000 replies. As well as the fewer replies, the less convincing it is.





 :o

Edit: lol just noticed the 'probably'

Why would that matter to him? Turning stolen bitcoins into "stolen but donated" bitcoins doesn't make it more legit to use, right?

There is a plot twist:
So after throwing away 30 Bitcoin he's now asking for money? This makes it even easier to apply a lot of times.

Or did the rekcah's account get "kcah"ed?
http://i67.tinypic.com/332vx1v.png

So far he has collected 9 22 34 70 103 173 198 258 264 360 526 bucks (https://blockchain.info/address/1FvCk1jTsy7AvmnpeKnrfHSJnfX7om7fNM).

Let me speculate a bit :D
What if the real rekcahxfb is gone? He listed it as a possibility. His Bitcointalk-account got taken, but the guy himself is gone. That means we are 1332 blocks (just over 9 days) away from transmitting this transaction, effectively destroying 1000 Bitcoins. Assuming this transaction works on his address, I don't fully understand the decoded text.

If this happens, he'll be a mystery forever!

Left negative trust for now.

Very strange plot twist.

TBH if he signs messages from 1BfxSux... addy again, I might remove negative trust. In the end if people want to join this very risky "lottery", that is their own choice. But those 3 "changes" do seem really strange indeed.





edit: TBH I really think he used some throwaway password and got hacked.

Yesterday in Slack he was saying things like above.. which seems like pretty good English to me. But now he talks like this:
Really? Nah.


Also on Slack:

The originating address (13tikBdmMVkyuykDVNmv3tTr8YkVN3Xrut (https://blockchain.info/es/address/13tikBdmMVkyuykDVNmv3tTr8YkVN3Xrut)) has been linked to TradeFortress multiple times in the past. Search the forum for it.

New turn around on this giveaway:
Revision to the rules all the sudden and password has changed on the giveaway account holder:
Must send in 0.001btc from the address that you post on the thread. ::)
Sounds like a scam attempt to me.
DT members have given their red trust on the account already.

EcuaMobi 97: -0 / +10   2016-08-04   0.00000000   Reference   Hacker/scammer/troll trolling and trying to scam participants' money. Any BTC sent to this user will be lost.

NLNico 30: -0 / +3   2016-08-04   0.00000000   Reference   Is the hacker.. hacked?

1. Password change.
2. His English skills seem to be terrible now.
3. Asking 0.001 entry money.

Do not trust. At minimum he should sign a message with previous address. And still I would question his intentions.

People whats wrong with you ? They trust him and send 0.001 some of them send more  :D

https://blockchain.info/address/1FvCk1jTsy7AvmnpeKnrfHSJnfX7om7fNM

Let's assume I was the one starting this ....call it whatever ..
scam giveaway etc etc

I would create a newbie account , I would send my coins there as a 'winner" (of course the btcs would still be in my wallet) but I would not stop there.

I would go and search for  an emigrant / homeless anyone who would do some pics/videos full of lies for a hundred $ , and then create proof on this board that he got his money and keep him posting s** on how nice is now that he got 1k btc  and that all this was for real.

And then .. start a new hype again with another 1k.

Actually I'm quite tempted to do it.
Probably I'll get disinherited once the cop start nosing around and that's way worse than 10k btc but still , this would be funny as hell.

People are greedy
How can someone sensible send money to an address beginning with "1FvCk" and believe he is going to win 1000 BTC?
When it's too good to be true...
121 scammed persons for now, and it is rapidly increasing

And I am not even talking about the morality of wanting to receive probably stolen money

It could be possible also that he (rekcahxfb or who is in control of the forum account) is sending a lot f 0.001 btc tx just to convince more the people that the giveaway is legit.

Yes, indeed, I thought about it. But I am convinced some people are really sending him 0.001 btc (as it is a small sum, they think it is worth the risk)

I think people are actually starting to get the message now because there aren't a post per minute an more with btc addresses expecting to be entered into this scam.
He is even creating alt's of his name to continue convincing people to pay and I really think they will seeing it as dust micro payment. But after 121 payments and growing it could be a BTC by time they get the picture it is just a false promise of a lottery draw. And yes some of those payments could be just the scammer trying to lure in more people to make a payment since they see others are doing it so why them too. ::)

The current account-owner is now contradicting his earlier post:

any proof one way or the other?

This guy claims to know the poster who has the hacked coins and is asking for payments of 10x the amount asked for himself:

 rekcahxfb

Posted in #generalYesterday at 8:58 AM

rekcahxfb is an idiot. because he was changed rules, him contunue games...
so he is a liar
unfortunately.
Ihope he reads this msg

It is true. The funds that were sent to everyone (several people) excluding myself were from another source, not the address advertised in the giveaway thread. Also, nobody has to answer anything to anyone. Stop posting bullshit and wasting time. The thread has been locked due to OP most likely being compromised.

Wow nice answer from staff. And how we can trust people like Lauda????
You got money from this addy 1BfxSuxJqXuizBbTcP238JZY9DT4eqvzJG and this is probably TRADEFORTRESS addy.
And you are so rude wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being nice has nothing to do with being trustworthy. The greedy people jumping on the giveaway bandwagon don't deserve anything better considering their unjustified demands.

That is potentially owned by TF, but there is no conclusive proof. I'm just one of the few people that was on IRC at the right time. Anyone who posted an address on time received Bitcoin. Honestly, I think that the giveaway is just trickery and will never happen. The coin that were sent to several people were likely intended to give the giveaway legitimacy.

That was rude? Strange.

That thread should of been locked by this forum long ago. So I would see that as wasting everybody's time not asking why for it has been brought to everybody's attention.
Going through that thread is next to impossible and just a waste of time in my point of view.
Having this thread clears up all the BULLSH*T that is hidden away from that one is like trying to swim through that wade of drivle like your answer staff.

You must have missed the Q: Should Lauda *really* be a moderator of bitcointalk A: no (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1397579.0) thread.
You would fit right in.

If this guy thinks answering when several people have accusations against them shouldn't have to answer because of their level here is moderator then this is a broken system of hierarchy and should be re-evaluated to say the least.
That in my opinion LAUDA is not bullshit nor A WASTE OF TIME!

Thank you for allowing me to voice my opinion and not waste your oh so precious time of probably taking those bitfinex funds on the side too. This is just speculation of course and will be moved to that section soon by a moderator. ::)

LOLwat, the super hack with thousands of coins to burn has been hacked?

This forum is funny sometimes

this has been told several times, those are not bitfinex funds

That's ad hominem and irrelevant to the thread.

I think it's time to work on better QS-detection software.

That is correct.

Correct. They likely stem from Inputs.io or something prior to that. They are from 2013 (easily traceable via the blockchain). Some people just prefer voicing their ignorance instead of reading.

Hacker was hacked )))))))))

may be same body will hack hacker who hacked hacker which hacked bitfinex?)))))

No these are: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1574716

Lauda will be found out so i have no time or anymore of life to waste of them.
Good luck with QS and VOD that's all I have to say to this.

yeah its crazy, lets see at the end
goodluck to you too  :D

LOL. This keeps getting more interesting. :D


Another interesting possibility.
What if he is faking the account hack? ;D

Yes, but those need not be bitfinex funds.

He could transfer the funds to another address before that block, and use the bitfinex hack proceeds to reward the winner of the giveaway which would be his alt?

Unfortunately, the innocent winner of the giveaway knew nothing about that. :(



Later, he blames it on his luck, and distributes a 50BTC in another thread.

he stated on reddit that his account on btctalk was hacked and that you still can enter (without the fee) via reddit as supposed

too much conspiracy...

I am just assuming this guy to be a super mastermind, in which case, how do you know he isn't staging this. ;D

I agree. The hack appears genuine, makes sense, logical, and no motives I can find to support staging it. Still there is a possibility. ;D




Yeah ;D

What if his joking he can burn 10 and give out a couple of bitcoins to the mod and at the end of the week he can laugh and say PRANK

he actually never stated that he is the bitfinex hacker nor gave a proof except the nickname, he might be getting paid to take the heat and make a noise to attract whole btc community on this giveaway, while the real hackers are slowly moving the stolen funds with very few people noticing

In fact, he is relating himself as bitfinex hacker quite often.




From https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1574270.msg15820828#msg15820828

I think you guys are watching too many movies  ;D

Also judging by the number of people with deep green trust participating in this 'giveaway' apparently feedback means jack shit in the grand scheme of things and everyone claiming to be a saint or a vigilante on this forum is nothing more than a sleazy businessman pulling a long con  ;D

At least the now locked thread made it possible to see what the Bitcoin community looks like from inside out  ;)

Again, the coins that have been given to others have nothing to do with bitfinex.

He stated it on IRC if I remember this correctly. The giveaway started from there anyways.

False. There's nothing wrong with posting your address in that thread, that does not make you any less trustworthy than you already are. It comes down to what one would do in the case that they won and it was proven to be stolen money.

We locked it because OP was hacked and it was being spammed by beggars that kept creating new accounts.

Like pocket the money and keep silent?  ;D

So Lauda, you took 1 btc without any problem... right ?

You'd need to do a lot more if you want to avoid getting arrested (in the case that they're stolen).

Why would there be a problem? Everyone who was on IRC at that time and had posted an address had received 1 BTC (excluding Mitchell, he got 2 BTC - I guess because he was the first to respond).

I didn't say that is a problem, you only received part of stolen bitcoins from probably TF (it's not a problem).

I agree. Getting 1kBTC in possibly stolen money will cause a lot of sleepless nights, figuring out what to do with it, and hopefully getting some legitimate profit out of it. Edit: finders fee, reward, or hey, it may not (all) be stolen after all. Either way, I see no harm in joining this.
Although I can dream about having that kind of money, I'm mainly just curious what happens. Seeing 1kBTC burn would be an amazing development too.

What makes you say that it was stolen? It's also possible that they're part of some personal stash. There isn't conclusive evidence at the moment because Bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous. I actually didn't even post my vanity address, yet they decided to send the funds there.

What are you talking about? There is no "legitimate profit" from stolen money. There's only legitimate jail time.

I like how people are jealous of people who were given some BTC. Hope you guys also get few BTC as tip, as i am highly interested in what you would do with them.
I don't think you people are as saint as you want people to think you are. In fact; i know you are not.

Nah, I'm not jealous... just to try understand more about those stolen funds of TF (nothing else).
I hope you too get few BTC as tip.

I already posted this in the previous thread, but it seems that some have missed it, so let me repost it:

I'm not saying these coins aren't from TF, it just seems unlikely IMO with the proof I have seen (which is almost none). I am however sure that these coins do not belong to the BitFinex hack as none of the inputs are linked to BitFinex. A few people, that I trust, came to this conclusion with some Blockchain analysis.

;D



Nah, everyone with the green trust intend to return the stolen funds to bitfinex or whatever (or TF if it is from inputs.io hack? ;D) or donate them to a good cause. That is what I'd do. Anyway, I am not sure if I can just convert 1000 BTC to fiat and spend it without any trouble.

hehe

I burst in laughter when our respected ( well, at least some say so ;D ) DT member Lutpin tried his luck :P

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1574127.msg15803792#msg15803792

Thank god he did not send him .001 otherwise some innocent may have followed him.

Please guys when you have green trust or on DT don't prticipate in pure BS because this gives non-experienced people a useless hope and get trapped in scams.

Its money..
Now we know who can get bribed lol

even Bill Gates would try his luck if someone would approach him with a FREE ticket to a lottery for 600k$, wouldn't he? there's literally nothing to lose, whoever is not trying his luck on this just because "it's unbelievable that someone would give away that much" can be considered stupid, the guy already proved he has BTC to spare by sending 10BTC to btc eater address and few more BTC to anyone on IRC, again, not participating in a FREE lottery is just... stupid

You have no idea how hard theymos and the admins are trying to resist participating in that giveaway. :P


It costs nothing, so why do you take it as some sort of vouch? I'd expect a trusted member to put the Bitcoins to good use than the hacker's alt in the impossible event of the former winning the giveaway.

Why don't he comes back with another account and starts the giveaway again?

For me he's just trolling and no one will receive anything and the coins won't move

Isn't it amazing the number of green trusted accounts that participated in this scam? Greed indeed is the root of all evil. They all are a bunch of classless hypocrites if you ask me. And if this was some sort of social experiment for honesty, It was successful in exposing the kind of people we have moderating this forum. Little wonder scams thrive here.

You can argue this whichever way you want, but the fact is the OP "rekcahxfb" hinted he was the one that hacked and stole from Bitfinex. He could have being lying. I think he was. And all this was a deliberate hoax to fool people into believing he possessed much more than 1000 btc, and could easily give that much away.

I am not claiming to be any different. Far from it. But  these mods/saints and "highly trusted" accounts proved they are nothing more than plaster saints. Be careful when dealing with them. If they were ready to receive stolen funds, they are capable of anything. It is easy to fake honesty on an anonymous forum.

They red trusted the rekcahxfb account only when the rules of the giveaway changed to ask for deposits. That account should have been negative bombed as soon as it claimed it was behind the Bitfinex hack. Now they are sulking because they wont be getting their greedy mitts on the bounty. SMH

I don't think so
Participating in a free lottery ≠ trying to receive goods which origin is suspicious
In the first case it is just a game without consequence
In the second case it is greed (with legal risk?)

Thank you!

And who is to say they did not participate?   ;) .....All those new accounts?

Few points to note:
1. funds are from 2013.
2. in his own words: (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1574270.msg15820828#msg15820828)
You are completely ignoring the possibility that the funds may be legit.
3. You are expected to rely on your own head while deciding to participate in any giveaway. All the participants in the thread will react the same and participate in the giveaway even if X, Y or Z did not participate in the giveaway. Thread is way too long anyway.
4. The giveaway is free to participate, which makes your entire accusation meaningless.
5. If I am to decide who gets 1000BTC between a hacker and a trusted person, I will pick the latter. The former is very likely to use it for his own personal wants, and the proceeds aren't like to reach the victims.
6. No trusted or untrusted member won the giveaway yet. Please be patient. ;D

Sure the rekcahxfb account was hacked?

Before:
1BfxSuxJqXuizBbTcP238JZY9DT4eqvzJG -> Bitfinex Sucks

After:
1FvCk1jTsy7AvmnpeKnrfHSJnfX7om7fNM -> Should be obvious


The hacker sets a weak password and lets another hacker (who coincidentally isn't very good at English and with significantly different characteristics) hack the hacker's account. How likely is that?
The hack was staged. Everything is.  8)

I participated up until I read this:


Then I deleted my bitcoin address. At this point, the hacker or whomever they are, a scammer maybe, implied he hacked Bitfinex. You can feign ignorance all you want about the source of funds, but that was what they implied. It is not my problem, I am not here to banter words with anybody and I dont have a problem with anybody participating. To each his/her own.

The point I was trying to get across, which you have deliberately ignored, is that moderators and green trusted accounts, are not to be trusted. If they participated in that giveaway, knowing that the funds could possibly have being hacked from Bitfinex. Or it could be from TradeFortress, a known scammer. Google "Tradefortress bitcoin" and see the results for yourself. I am not judging anyone, I am only calling out the mods and "trusted" accounts like yours.

and they could give it back to the victims if they won it. Is that wrong?

Yeah right! To give it back to the victim  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D. Not to keep , and live out your dreams? So it was well-intentioned. I hear you.

several times, it's been said SEVERAL times already, that those coins are from 2013, not from the bitfinex hack and a lot of them come directly from mining on slush pool, but that's okay, don't participate, better chances to win for me

Right. I don't intend to keep it myself. :)

"Green Trust" in these boards means nothing, if you're going to trust in someone based on that, you're gonna have a bad time.

At some point TradeFortress was the most "trusted" account here, several other most "trusted" accounts scammed people here.

BTW, it is not clear what happened with inputs.io, coins could just have been stolen like he said.

Also, there's no link between rekcahxfb coins and the ones stolen from Bitfinex, even if he is the one who stole from Bitfinex he can give the coins he signed and that's totally legit, although I don't think anyone here is buying he is actually the guy who hacked Bitfinex.

Sure thing boss, I "believe" you, and I am sure the rest of the forum does too. When I sent in my address, I was already dreaming of exotic trips, whoring and non stop drinking.

Does it matter? We both know neither you or me or anyone else other than the alt of bfxhacker himself is going to win the giveaway. So why even bother? :P

- 1000BTC obtained by hack (an illegal act)
- open a new thread and annonce this 1000BTC as giveaway for one winner (legal act if the provenance of the amount was justified, in this cas          the provenance is from hack so an illegal act)
-oppen new account as X007(the hacker) and participate in this giveaway like all the other participants (innocents, Dreamy)
-The winner of this giveaway is X007.

Q for X007: how did you get that large sum of BTC ?
A: I participated in a Giveaway in the bitcointalk.org forum/reddit.com and with lots of luck i won and this is the proof
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1574127.0    
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4vykkr/1000_btc_giveaway_from_your_friend_rekcahxfb/


Conclusion:
All those who participated in this Giveaway blinded by the huge prize, were used to cover the hacker to justify the source of these BTC in the futur.

   

That's what most of us thought would happen, but sending funds only to one winner address wouldn't help hacker in any way, because anyone with
the tiniest amount of reasoning would come to the same conclusion as you did.

The only way for him to create an atmosphere where he would be able to send money to himself as winner without anyone noticing, would be if there
would be a lot of winners, and he would be just one amung them ( As previously mentioned in an idea of "1 btc to 1000 people" rather than other way around. )

So either one of the following will surely happen ;

1. There will be no more money given away.
2. There will be one winner of 1000 btc (bfxhacker himself)
3. Some other option like multiple winners will be chosen instead.

Maybe this person is trolling us, or maybe he is trying to scam us...

I think i will avoid posting one of my bitcoin address. Everyone will make his own decision.

That's very simple. Keep thinking of what is going on with this 1000btc is a waste of time.

Have a nice day  :)

rekcahxfb  is dog and scammer
Damn you rekcahxfb
If there was really a giveway  He had announced the winner at least 100 and not 1 winner only
Cursed who support this robber

There is no giveway of 1000 btc

Time will teach you what the meaning of profit

Fuck all aspirants. And all the supporters of this  dog despicable rekcahxfb



Everyone sends him  https://blockchain.info/address/1FvCk1jTsy7AvmnpeKnrfHSJnfX7om7fNM   ( Idiots and scoundrels and prostitutes)



My message is clear:   Hackers are the enemies of all mankind. They steal money innocent


fuck all Those who sent money to this bastard rekcahxfb   damnation

damnation damnation
damnation damnation
damnation damnation

damnation

Im not totally sure how to use the taint feature of blockchain.info but look at this: https://blockchain.info/taint/1FvCk1jTsy7AvmnpeKnrfHSJnfX7om7fNM

Thats the "giveaway fee" address. I think it shows that a large number of addresses are associated with the fee address, possibly meaning that the user who posted it also sent coins in an attempt to look like random users.

I know its already been assumed/proven? that the account was hacked and such but I just came across this...

Old news? Unrelated? meaningless? maybe...

this "giveaway fee" was added by the "hacker" that got access to rekcahxfb's account, not by rekcahxfb himself, but ye, the dude who got access to his account probably sent few (most likely first) "fees" to make this look more legit

Winner random calculation:

addresses = list()
grub_addresses(addresses)
winner_index=bytes_to_int(block_424600_hash)%len(addresses) # 400 blocks before bitcoin eater valid
winner= addresses[winner_index]
print(winner)


Good luck  ;)!

Dont forget you'd need to publish the address list before block 424600 exists.

Address list available here

https://blockchain.info/address/1FvCk1jTsy7AvmnpeKnrfHSJnfX7om7fNM

Ah lol the donation one again that was called a real scam by the hacked hacker causing that topic to be closed ;D

Nah I meant the exact ordered list of posted addresses on reddit or here that will used to select a winner from before the hash is known, you know to make it verifiable

Remember to post a signed message from this address: 1BfxSuxJqXuizBbTcP238JZY9DT4eqvzJG


Otherwise GTFO ;).

SELECT Input.address FROM Transactions
JOIN Input ON Transaction.id = Input.tx_id
JOIN Output on Output.tx_id = Transaction.id AND Output.address = '1FvCk1jTsy7AvmnpeKnrfHSJnfX7om7fNM'
WHERE Transactions.block_height <  424600
ORDER BY Transactions.block_height DESC, Transactions.index_in_block DESC, Input.index DESC;

 ;)

Go away. You have enough fake transaction in your addy.

Yeah remember your problem is you're asking for money first and also didnt prove you can access that 1000btc. Making it a boring scam and not some curious drama

hackrekcahxfb you are dog
fuck your mother . you are whore

Don't worry payout will be done to random address ;)

They willl never made becouse you are scammer and imposter.

https://blockchain.info/address/1FvCk1jTsy7AvmnpeKnrfHSJnfX7om7fNM
   
Collected a lot 0.001 btc .  crook dog Destiny


I hope that you come out of this forum

6102rekcahxfb   1 winner only . you are scammer
all know you are scammer

You are wasting your time

True dat.  It even took 172 pages before the thread got shut down.

its an inspect element -_-
post another prooft

The thread got shut down only because OP's account was suspected to be hacked, and OP was edited and some idiots started sending money to that address.
If that didn't happen, the thread would still be open.  ::)

Are the bitcoins you are going to send to the person, from a hack? From a Bitfinex hack?

Are the hacked funds in '1BfxSuxa-------------- will share soon.' address?

Obviously those new accounts 6102rekcahxfb, hackrekcahxfb, etc. are scammers as well. Can't believe that the troll-hacker actually got 0.46 from it... why would anyone send anything to that address :s Even the original troll said on Slack/Reddit on his confirmed other accounts that he was hacked..

Anyway, leaving this reply so I can use it as reference for new negative trust for those new accounts.


No. That signed message is from original "bfxhacker" and therefor useless. Blockchain.info screenshot is either just edited HTML but maybe even just "watch address" function. Totally useless.

That new address will be empty. And he will say he is the real "bfxhacker" (which isn't true) and you need to send funds to that new address of his.

Obvious scam is obvious.

I can't believe this too.

If someone would give me a present i say thanks, but i'm not going to pay for that present.... if i have to pay, this is not a present.

Can't figure out how people can think elseware.

Sorry about people that lost their money  ::)

This is not a bitcoin signed message and btw yes I've sent that pm to rekcahxfb but the hacker can obviously read all his PM, so it's not a valid proof.

This is proof that I am hacker who hack this "bfxhacker"  ;)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1577756.0

WOW !!! People send 0.001 BTC
Send me Also 0.001 Btc to this account : 12fyu9q4akkLpmXQivPHH2rnrei4GHYNme    ;D

in return i will say Thanks

:)
Thanks

sayyedraza

I wish i had that much...

He moved the 1'000 btc to a various bitcoin addresses:

 - https://blockchain.info/tx/2103963209a25b2c9b3cfb8ca744287239c13dd2bbf347a5b6c12cc915b146a1
 ....

so no one won this 1000 BTC giveway? better you split to us  ;D

Actually it was scam !! hundred of user has been fool by the scammers :)

https://blockchain.info/fr/address/16j8aThXJfgFkLbcf4pAASpKKYwBnnUf2q  the addy is almost empty now . no winner ?

I think he sent the btc to himself the first time from this address (1NYT1f6Mbty6iZiHPQtM5fDSmSKk6e2HKN) to this address (16j8aThXJfgFkLbcf4pAASpKKYwBnnUf2q) through this transaction https://blockchain.info/fr/tx/7d0c91dec0cf63399bd5f368973b892bae8a66cec83e7ce802cd4d5698f5bfa1 

After ~1 month he started again to move them with this initial transaction https://blockchain.info/fr/tx/2103963209a25b2c9b3cfb8ca744287239c13dd2bbf347a5b6c12cc915b146a1

So he just fool all the people who join that giveaway in the first place that's good to be true if it's happen.

No. You're just another random scammer.

We can't really know for sure what happened nor what the idea behind all of this was. I've read up on the "wedding proposal" story, and definitely think that it's fake. There are just many possible reasons for which they may have done this (both legitimate and illegitimate) and speculating won't bring much anyways.

The whole thing got real sketchy when a request was made for a BTC deposit to enter the drawing.
