Bitcoin Forum

I know what most of you reading the title are thinking right now. Probably something along the lines of: "this idiot thinks he can scam somebody...". I probably would too, if I were in your shoes. Well, here's how you know it's not a scam, because I'm offering to pay you 0.001208 BTC first, then you pay me 0.001208 BTC, then I pay you 0.001792 BTC. Obviously, I'm going to benefit from this, but as will you. So, some additional kinks that need to be sorted out. The account you pay me with must contain 1 or more BTC and be pretty much used for cold storage (that term will be defined by my discretion by looking at your transaction history). If you are a reputable user with a vaild Bitcoin address that matches the qualifications above, I will send you 0.001208 BTC, you will send to 1DdrhJrvx5cXqS82RqRjtijnRfaJUrCygY 0.001208 BTC, then I'll send you the rest: 0.001792 BTC. And please don't ask me how I profit from this, I won't tell you ;) (Although you could probably figure it out)

i dont get it. do you mean my balance should have more than 1btc or 1.0000xxx ? to do this?

As far as I understood you are correct, OP said that your wallet address must contain at least 1 BTC to do this. I want to try this sadly I don't have yet that such amount.

I think this is for the byteball or Stellar Lumens giveaways. Sending this amount to prove your btc address ownership.

So you are saying that he is doing this to prove others that he owns the address? Well that is suspicious, but I don't think people would be that stupid. They could just ask for a signed message to prove ownership ::)

Actually this is the most retarded way of doing it.I think OP doesn't have an idea how the byteball thingy works.It doesn't matter how much bitcoins your address did receive prior to the giveaway,at the time of the giveaway it should have that much balance present in your address.
Ex : The address I can sign from has received total of 10 bitcoins but my current balance is 0.12,doesn't count.

I have 1 btc and can sign it and now how will thid work

Indeed, I am trusting that if you have been holding upwards of 1 BTC in your account for a long time, then that will not change soon.

All this for a giveaway ! Basically you are trying to make the payer feel like its your own address and you owned the balance at some moment. To do this The owner who has more than 1 btc in his account will send the money to an account intended to verify the ownership. If this is how you want it to work , then its a conventional idea that might not work.

OP deals in accounts.  Why am I not surprised that he's offering up such a shady transaction here.  All of you do yourselves a favor and donu do this.  You'll end up with less bitcoin than you started out with.  Guaranteed.

Not accounts. This is a Bitcoin address with 34 characters starting with 1 used in the Byteball ownership of wallets verification process. And the strange payment of 0.001208 is the payment for verification.

Putting this out there for everyone:


The OP will earn 0.02188999BTC at current prices for every 1BTC you are holding on July 9. You can do it alone!

That's true  ;) OP try to be smart

I also see this kind of service offer but the other service has a high pay rate compare to this one. I think his username is loyceV and this is for byteball airdrop. You are right that the owner itself can do it but this kind of service is good for user that don't know the procedure on claiming.
