Bitcoin Forum

Hello Bitcoiners!

I have a little game for you.

I propose that I will double all bitcoins sent to my address.
Min bet: 0.01BTC.
Max bet: 2.5BTC.

This is a game of trust and will be ongoing for a number of days/weeks.
I could obviously run away after the first few BTC I receive but where would be the fun in that?

Let's see who wins!

Please send to: 1Gn6rvQf8LhKJZSXw15hvbjARv2W2gnm89
[Moderator note: A few other same games like this ended with the players out of cash. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149130.msg1583050#msg1583050) ]

Make sure you use a client where I can return to sender e.g. Bitcoin-QT.

So you say that whenever I send you something you immediately return twice the amount?
Seems legit.

As long as it's min 0.01 and max 2.5

I'm skeptical but let's give this a try!

0.01 BTC sent!

Doubled (assuming this was your transaction as only one I've had so far)

Awesome thanks!

This WILL turn out with people getting scammed and losing their money

Seriously, don't risk it.

Warning added.

This is a classic game on these forums, a game that always ends in the same way: a sucker says bye bye to his money.

As an example, this is one of the many times this "game" has been played in here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108832.0

Moral of the story: if you send your money to an anonymous guy on the interwebz with the hope to double it, you are retard.

When I first found this forum a thread like this was the first I read.

Everyone starts out happy.. And then it goes ruthlessly downhill from there.

If you wanna gamble, it's probably best off gambling in an environment where you know your odd's. For all you know the RTP on this could be like 50% in the long run haha. I guess it has an element of skill to it though which makes it exciting.

Good luck people who wish to play.. I wouldn't recommend it at all though. :)

Well this can't be any worse than satoshi 48%!

0.05 sent http://blockchain.info/tx-index/ca84b026a5f2e31f7cd0b177f941dad5a8ece360a585fed8f4ce03993547ef05 (http://blockchain.info/tx-index/ca84b026a5f2e31f7cd0b177f941dad5a8ece360a585fed8f4ce03993547ef05)

Sent 0.01, just to see if this is legit.(which it probably isn't) If you do scam, I doubt you'd do it for 0.01BTC.

EDIT : He has shown activity, awaiting response to this post.

Beware noobs, 99% of other players are OP's alt-accounts.

Don't be dumb, there are best ways to use your money than to feed a scammer.

Not gonna lie, I'm looking forward to this thread. Gambling section has been a little dull since that whale on PrimeDice winning 200 coins in first few hours.

Will be here every step of the way with my boring commentary :D

Edit: I'll probably get accused again of being affiliated since I post too much :(

I sent you 0.3 as seocnd transaction you got.

Still not doubled...

And the plot thickens...

Can basically confirm this is a scam, has shown activity, no answer or payback to real doublers. Congratualations, you got away with a GRAND SUPER TOTAL OF.... 0.04BTC. Yay?

When I saw you as last poster was scared you'd actually put money in :P

Yeah, I put 0.01BTC in to test it, I was expecting no return. But yeah, I haven't put anything in it =P.

Oh yeh, missed that post some how. At least wasn't nothing to big. Did he repay you?

If not, I think it's also safe to say that guy who got paid out 0.4 BTC was in on his scheme. lo

Nope, no repayment. And yeah, he was most likely part of it.. Oh well, he must be happy with his 0.04BTC, seriously, how is that even worth it?

It wasn't. But he didn't know going in that we'd be wise to his tricks and call him out on it right away. He had ambitions to be the next pirate  ;D

I think he made a little more than that. Vlees sent 0.3 :(

Sigh...  :(

Really? OUCH. That really sucks.

Nvm Vlees PM'ed me saying wasn't him :P

Looks like he only got you and that other dude.

The guy must have spent a decent few hours getting those alt accounts out of newbie section. All for a $9 scam. Hmm... Bitcoin you amaze me ^_^

Yeah, Stunna however is an amazingly generous person and sent me 0.01BTC. Thanks!

Hey all,

Please use common sense when on these forums :( It was fairly obvious the scammer used an alt account pretending to receive payments back.

It has a detrimental affect on the Bitcoin gambling scene when people like this actually manage to scam people.

I've refunded the people who sent payments


https://blockchain.info/tx/827ead5ebbf63d5f56b6afc08b59b7c8a6663e3b67a47107e3c7477b21fef0f1 (https://blockchain.info/tx/827ead5ebbf63d5f56b6afc08b59b7c8a6663e3b67a47107e3c7477b21fef0f1)



Can you confirm this vlees? Was about to send refund.

Will OP now get banned from the forums for scamming? Or did he not make it clear enough that he has to send back double the money so no promise was made?

Wow. Stunna you don't seize to amaze me :P

Knew this would be a good thread haha

Zaih, he might be aiming at getting a 0.04 secret stash for when the price goes up to 20k per bitcoin :D

Very true! Looks like we're not giving him enough credit as he deserves; Genius thinking OP.

Like I understand the concept of the game, and it'd be fair if he at least played a long with it for a bit.

As in actually paying out some real people first, but what he did was simply faking payouts and then not paying out anyone what so ever legit.

its funny how far some people would go just for a few bitcoin cents

Wow thanks Stunna, that was really generous.  I was thinking the last person that did this played along for about a week like Ziah said.  I should have known better  :-[

dont know y u would pay these noobs back. If theyre dumb enough to fall for this shit they deserve to get took. Now theres nothing to stop them from doing it again, if someone just pays them back..No lesson learned here.

Send bitcoins to anonymous person and hope that he will be generous and will send 2x my send amount? Seriuosly? If it would be true, he would lost all his bitcoins like in several hours...

Why didn't anybody accuse Stunna of being OP yet?  It's an obvious publicity stunt for PrimeDice.com (the best new bitcoin dice game,  btw :)).

Just kidding Stunna.

Or am I???

Doubt it'd be worth his time to make 3 accounts to do this :P I'm sure he would have also snagged first page as well, considering most people never read past first page haha.

Yeah.  But it's fun to randomly accuse people of scamming, right?  Certainly seems to be popular on these forums recently anyway.

ObConspiracy: and of course you'd stick up for him.  The way you post on his dice thread so much you're clearly just one of his sockpuppet accounts anyway.  :P

Pretty much agree. Technically speaking they were not even scammed, they knew very well the final outcome of this "game" (plenty of warnings in this thread), but they hoped the OP had some funds to at least have the scam running for a few rounds. Moved by greed, they wittingly participated in the scam,  hoping that OP would have doubled their money to give some legitimacy to its scheme in order to attract greater fools which would have sent him bigger sums.

Therefore, they very much deserve losing that money.

sadfayce

My turn to make a conspiracy: CoinRoll were the ones who made the "List of ongoing scams" thread in scam accusation. Every single semi large Bitcoin gambling site was listed... EXCEPT Coinroll.

This is fun

Aww.  Don't be sad.  I'm only playing.


The same Coinroll who just gave you 0.02 BTC for free?  How could THEY be the bad guys when they're so generous?

I suspect that Coinroll didn't make the scam list because they publish details of every bet, and so are kind of proving that they have the volume of bets they claim to have.  Not that 90% of those bets couldn't be made by the site themselves, but whatever - there's no way anyone can ever prove what volume of bets their site is handling, so the whole scam thread is pretty dumb really.

A provably fair for volume... Hmmm... There must be a way, just takes someone to figure it out eh

Why not do satoshidice 49%?

Because this is "Funner"? :P

I think people can claim otherwise though, haha

Its still one of the worst, most lazy and pathetic scams I've ever seen. You could earn the $5 in cash (working for less than an hour in a legit job) and turn it into 0.04BTC. Its still only $5 today.

If you have hours to to spend scamming people out of a dollar here and a dollar there then your probably making a dollar or two an hour doing this. This small time hustling probably makes the scammer $20 a day or less, not enough to afford rent/bills or much of anything.

This leads me to beleive whoever is behind anything like this is a punk kid still living with mom. And their lack of creativity and work ethic will keep them there. Alone, and lonely, till they die.  :(

Ahhhh, how sad :(

Shotgun the rights to turning this into a movie

Well I have that 2.5 BTC but don't want to send it out, if you can still double in this case send to address in sig., thank.

Stunna could give me 200 BTC for me to gamble on his site, with the understanding that I give him back whatever I'm left with at the end (and maybe he pays me for my time, or something).  There's no way you can prove that I wasn't playing with my own money, when in fact I was just making the site look busy.

You could almost triple your money. Play my game instead. hehe.. (no one minds I'm going to hijack this thread since the OP was scamming anyway?)

There's 0.02 at this address
https://blockchain.info/address/1K7TmkJ5MT95nGbVgDxp1Vi8LT6ZBEYEcF

Which gives you a 33% chance of tripling your money if you put in 0.01 there.

Of course, the next ticket brings it down to 25%.

I thought it was decided that 20% gets kept back for the next game, so it wouldn't be tripling would it?  But I don't think there's a word for multiplying by 12/5.  twelve-fifthsing?

Yes. Edited post to reflect. "Almost" tripling is easier and easily understood compared to 12/5-ing.

I think you should work on putting a website together Dab, it'll attract more people :) You've got a well thought out model but lacks aspects of legitimacy.

Sure, old lotto's work through forum's, but back then there were no sites like Peerbet and such. The gambling section was much less 'revolutionized'. You're more or less trying to implement black & white TV into the 21st century; It's simply not appealing.

A website isn't that hard to make. A lot of people would be willing to help you out if you had a decent budget and all.

Hi Zaih,

I agree. It would have to be self sustaining though. Any ideas? blocklotto.com is taken by some knitting or quilting group. Or I could always use whatever.info ... would branding be preferred or would a "generic" name be better? Would using bitlotto.info be considered ok or not? in deference to that "brand" that just got hit by a bus and got labelled a scammer.

I think I can get hosting already. www.turbocows.com offers hosting payable in bitcoin. wait, that's run by me. hahaha. ok. so I just need a domain. dabslotto?

....

thinking thinking. and better to discuss this in my thread. we have indeed hijacked this one already.

Don't even copy the last lotto in any way shape or form; go for something completely unique. Why would you want to name something after a scam website anyway? People will undoubtedly get confused between the two.

The difference is the "genericized branding". Do I just stick to Dabs Lotto forever? Or be The Bitcoin Lotto? ... maybe I can start with Dabs Lotto. Its run by me anyway. I'll worry later if some government wants to run after me, or if someone wants to buy it or whatever.

I think something more generic would be a better way to approach it. Dabs lotto is a little informal if you ask me. "The Bitcoin Lotto" is pretty slick, I guess. Maybe something a little more creative and enticing though.

Up to you though. Just anything but bitlotto.info plz ;)

Well, everything is, was, or will be bit-something, bit-this, bit-that. bit-pay. bit-instant. bit-scam. If it's not bit, it's BTC-this. BTC-that. Then of course, there is The Amazing Anonymous Bitcoin Lottery, and everything listed in mem's list under Lotto. (It seems there are only 3 others.)

The Bitcoin Lotto, hmmmm.... not too assuming is it? That would be ideal, as my intention has been to fill up the gap (whatever that gap was) left behind by what I used to think was the biggest or oldest bitcoin blockchain based lotto.

When it "died", I suddenly "discovered" all these others existed. But that didn't stop me. I had this vision (or dream.) Maybe it's nothing though. Maybe it's something.

Any other suggestions or ideas? Should I go for .info (since it's cheaper) or stick to .com (standard looking) ? I mean, blockchain.info is something everyone knows about, I guess. The .info isn't an issue to them. And that's what my website will be anyway, an information portal. I won't be running a bitcoind on it, since that would be too expensive, unless I fund this big time and get a VPS or a "real" server.

Blockchain.info is specifically information.. It suits better. All websites are effectively an information portal to some extent, it doesn't mean .info suits them. For the extra few bucks, it'd definitely be worth while putting together a .com domain. It's a lot more 'legit' to say the least. And at the end of the day, it's all about the image you portray which will lead to how successful you are in this venture.

"... but probably nothing."

"... No, definitely nothing."

Let's just simplify it to "Nothing or Nothing"!

Delete scam thread.
