xDeathwing: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=111872
Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=284167.0

In the above topic, an application to automatically visit bitcoin faucets is advertised.

Staff member xDeathwing offers to pay for the following proof:

The video proof has been provided by the OP, but he has not received any payment from xDeathwing. All payments to his address are micro transactions from faucets: https://blockchain.info/address/1NRNYQr6WZXFyAsMz5pyieLnLN6goK8sCR

I have also shown the OP how to verify hashes on VirusTotal to confirm that the file is actually the one uploaded to the site. I did not receive any payment for this (although I do believe the OP deserves it more).

Carlos L. claims that xDeathwing originally offered to pay 0.5 BTC (not 0.05 BTC), and he later edited his post in the hopes that nobody would notice (I did not see the 0.5 BTC offer, maybe a mod can see if it was edited if possible?):


I sent xDeathwing a private message concerning payment to the OP a few days ago:



It has been several days, and the OP has not received any payment still. I suggest action to be taken against this member. Staff should not be exempt from forum rules.

He edited (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=284167.msg3041077#msg3041077) his post a few minutes after OP posted the video:

Thanks Carlos L.

Can we get a scammer tag on this guy?

bump

Wow... <-Just for a bump...

Has anyone talked to Theymos about it? He could check what the message was pre edit. For 0.5BTC, I'd hope it is a mistake rather than a scam.

Here is the thing. If it was a mistake, he would edit as soon as he posted it, BUT NO. He changed it AFTER the OP posted the video.... Seems like a scam to me...

I agree, it doesn't look good at this point, however they could have edited that post 20 times, the first time 5 seconds after they posted to correct the amount, and then again to clarify wording etc etc. I'm hoping when xDeathwing gets on, they either pay the debt if they are in the wrong, or clarifies if it was a mistake.

My rationale is that .5 BTC hopefully isn't enough for a Staff member to scam over, and it could be a mistake, however I could be wrong.  :-[

Neither Theymos or XDeathwing are on at the moment, so I wouldn't expect any quick response.

Yep... Like everyone said, just email Theymos and ask for a SCREENSHOT of the edits, because Theymos might try to get XDeathWing out of it. IDK, but im just saying...

I highly doubt that Theymos would bail out any Staff member. Why would you trust a confirmed scammer with taking care of your forums? If anything, he would hurry the process along. Again however, we are jumping the gun a little. Its hardly a scam accusation until the accused as a chance to reply.

Yes... Has anyone actually pm'ed Theymos about this?

Yes, I pmed Theymos and XDeathwing about this thread as soon I saw it.


Yeah, it will be best when there are both sides of the story. XDeathwing could have said .5BTC, edited it shortly after, and then made another edit later, etc. The point is, we wont know what the edit was about until XDeathwing, or Theymos confirms it.

Which does not atone for his failed promise to send (edited) 0.05BTC.

True, he should have at least payed the 0.05 BTC which would have gotten him out of this issue with a little bit of suspicion...

But that's circumstantial evidence. It doesn't directly prove that xDeathwing's post said "0.5 BTC" in his post.

The only other supporting proof is testimony from Carlos L. and sitnicki. Not exactly solid case. b!z, I suggest you remove "xDeathwing is a scammer" from your signature as it's exactly conclusive that he's a scammer.

edit: see crossed out section for edit details

I will agree that xDeathwing is a scammer if he does not pay sitnicki 0.05 BTC within a reasonable timeframe. I do not think there is enough evidence to conclude that xDeathwing's offer said "0.5 BTC" at any time from August 30, 2013, 03:35:21 AM to August 30, 2013, 05:20:01 AM. Therefore I do not think xDeathwing is liable to pay 0.5 BTC.

This doesn't look like a Typo

wait what? did xDeathwing send any bitcoins at all?

... Is xDeathwing a sock?

No, the OP (B!Z) said that he had pm'ed xDeathwing and he said that he would send it "tomorrow" but never sent it...

How is someone here for less than 6 months a staff member?

Might know the owner?

how is any of this related to xDeathwing's scam accusation?

Thank you for clarification

Well, assuming XDeathwing is guilty of owing the .50 BTC, it was essentially a bounty. Its not often that people put bounties into escrow or anything, so had XDeathwing not been staff, it would be the same situation, someone who reneged on a bounty.

As for how long XDeathwing was a member, they are a local mod on the Turkish Board. If they speak Turkish and reported a lot of posts accurately they could have got the position. However, you are right the staff tag does give a bit of credibility just because of the title, the same way that hero member used to. But I don't think going back on your promise about a bounty is something that people do intentionally if they have something to lose, so I'll be watching for progress when XDeathwing logs on.

I love the fact that my bump made this popular... I hope this gets resolved... Hey, when xDeath gets on lets all spam him... <-JK (dont do that :P)s

Just happened to look at his post history from this thread and noticed he almost never posts more than a sentence. If a sock, it'd be useful to know the other account. I figured it might be possible someone has that info, so just threw it out there. It's arguably off-topic, so I wouldn't fuss at all about it being removed. It'd make me consider you a little more suspicious, though.  :P

I am very actually surprised that a staff member would scam over 0.05 (or 0.5 BTC). I previously believed there was some sort of background check before hiring a new staff member.

The post where he promised to send 0.05 BTC, as well as the "i will send it tomorrow" are more than enough proof that he should be labeled as a scammer.

There isn't a formal process, but of course, if you have had past issues, your chances of becoming staff are slim. Also, my sentiments exactly, which in the face of uncertainty, leads me to believe this is probably a misunderstanding. If a staff member wanted to pull a scam, I'm sure they could do better than not following through on a .50 or .05 BTC promise. Which is why I'm having a hard time believing that XDeathwing intentionally scammed anyone out of $6 or $60. Either way, their reputation is worth more than that.

The first one i wrote was a joke(actually a keyboard slip but lets say joke) (0.5 BTC One edited after that.) then i took it serious and changed it to 0.05. I know b!z sent me a PM and i answered him, i told him I'll pay tomorrow but i completely forgot that, so my fault.

And i don't see a "SCAM" in this situation, there is no item or anything transfered...

I just told that i can give BTC. It's not a emergency "MUST DO OR DIE" situation.

Edit: I said i'll pay tomorrow i do want to pay, a friend was going to send coins he owe me but he didn't and i was out of coins. (Well, still out of coins.)

The "item transferred" was the video. You offered to pay for his time, and you wasted his time.
You should not make jokes and make people do work for you. If you said you were going to pay x BTC for logo design, or an exchange, would you call it a joke after they delivered to you?

When do you plan on paying the owed bitcoins?

The only fair solution is to pay 0.5 btc (<--- Thats a lot...), because like B!Z said, you wasted his time. Just to let you know XDeathWing, most people usually say "jk" when they are trying to say a joke, just so that they dont get into trouble like this...

Why would you even offer a joke amount in the first place? How this guy is even a staff member despite making consistently un-constructive posts and being such a young member is also a mystery. You should make this right and pay them out the amount they were promised, there is no such thing as a "joke" during transactions on this forum. Matt N Wright said his bets on the legitimacy of pirate were a "joke" and he got tagged with untrustworthy, perhaps you should have the same done to you if this is not remedied asap.



You honestly just admitted that you scammed just off that first sentence. Nothing has to be transferred to make the situation a scam, that's like saying if I offer a guy 50BTC to do some graphics for me and then don't pay him it's not a scam. Time is just as valuable as money if not more so. Quoted this for future reference.

I'm not too surprised about this.

deathwing seems to be a very young user.

also, he used to beg and drama all day on coinchat, ran an empty faucet and so on.

You made an offer to pay sitnicki 0.5 btc if he made a video and virus scan. sitnicki delivered before you modified your offer. You made no indication in the offer that it was a joke. That's breach of contract and would make you a scammer.

sitnicki was the guy who posted the thread, with a software that was said to give free btc.
As it seemed fishy, xDeath offered 0.5 btc if someone accepted to download the software, run it, and upload a proof.

When sitnicki did it, he though that it might be too much, and edited his post to 0.05 btc.



I think that he intended to give the bounty to anyone, but not sitnicki.
Indeed, if the software is a keylogger, sitnicki who posted it, does not give a shit about being keylogged by himself.
It was not risky for him, like it could have been for someone else.

People thinks that "you" was intended to sitnicki - but it could mean "you" = anyone but him.

Sad to see that. I don't wanna say something bad to my young Turkish fella.

The purpose of making a video was to show the result from that virus scan.

Agreed, whether it was supposed to be a joke or not, you made the mistake of not writing something obvious saying it was a joke, (just kidding, etc). You've gotta pay up on it, or the scammer claim is valid.


You should probably contact sitnicki and tell them that you are waiting on coins from a friend, and give them a reasonable payback date.

I'll contact the program creator and pay his bitcoins(as soon as i can, cause i don't have bitcoins.)

Check the loan sub, there are two 0% offers going (Stunna's and Tomatocage's).

so are you paying sitnicki 0.05 BTC or 0.5 BTC? You'll still be in hot water if you only paid 0.05 BTC, unless you came to an agreement with sitnicki to void the debt.

xDeathwing, please pay up...

Not enough time has passed for me to conclude anything.


There is no edit history. I can sometimes use database backups to get the original post, but backups are done only daily, and this is a big hassle.

Then plz try looking it up, or just tell xDeathwing to pay it! (or he should get a scammer tag)

Well, XDeathwing has essentially said they did have .50BTC in their original post and do intend to pay it, as soon as they get coins. Now its just a matter of XDeathwing stepping up, figuring out a reasonable repayment date, and making ammends for the mistake. People make mistakes, its how they handle them that is important.


Hmm, didn't know that.

That is.. if anyone wants to lend him money ;)

I'm willing to do the loan provided I pay it directly to whoever is owed the btc. Term would probably be a week. Deathwing can send me a PM if interested.


Those of you asking about Edit history, as mentioned before on this thread deathwing confirmed that he originally offered .5 as a "joke"

He's pulled suspicious crap on coinchat as well.. Asked the user "fontas" to lend him a certain amount with the promise it would be paid by a specific date and I recall fontas telling the mods that there wasn't any payment on the agreed upon deadline.

xDeathwing could have theymos take it out of his pay for being mod on the Turkish section. Surely, he's getting some compensation given that Turkey is a difficult language and all.

xD was quoted prior to the change:


But, for the life of me I can't figure out how the quote was changed.


sitnicki wouldn't have changed it.

EDIT: I see now who changed the quote. Well played! Oops!

18 seconds after posting the above and changing the 0.5 to 0.05, xD altered the OP.

Well the timing is sometimes not good, I didn't saw the video posted, i wasn't refreshing the page.

That thing closed waaay back.

Who cares it was way back?  You still did it, now you're at it again.  You're not a scammer, but as a mod, you handle situations horribly.

It was NOT closed, you still owe me money!

xDeathwing also owes me 0.0165 BTC, which should have been paid back the 7th August and it should be added 0.005 BTC as a fee for every week that passed after that. He now owes me 0.0415 BTC.

No contact what so ever telling me the progress or anything like that, but the loan will be getting higher and higher, If I don't get them, I'll send him a negative reputation.

And, who are you?

I think he is "fontas" from here: http://puu.sh/4mnWM.png

He is fontas... and now you have 2 claims against you, Yet you have failed to provide proof of innocence for both... Show us the TXIDs for fontas and this guy :)

what happened to innocent until proven guilty?

He has been proven guilty and also he indirectly admitted it... IDK about the second claim tho...

Well, we have a few witnesses, and their testimonial provided the proof we need.  xDeathwing has not yet gone his way to prove anything :/  And currently he has not proven to have sent proof to either of the people

The only definitive proof for xDeathwing owing 0.5 BTC to sitnicki rather than 0.05 BTC is quotes from sitnicki and Carlos L. However, this may not be an issue because xDeathwing appears to have admitted (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=287622.msg3099260#msg3099260) that he changed the offer from 0.5 to 0.05. As far as this matter is concerned, xDeathwing is in breach of contract if he does not pay sitnicki soon. xDeathwing did not state when the bitcoins will be paid, but it has to be done in a reasonable timeframe.

As for this accusation:
No one has linked to any proof for this accusation. Contrary to popular belief, a bunch of angry people holding pitchforks isn't enough evidence.

xDeathwing, please inform sitnicki about repayment in a reasonable timeframe. :-)

Correct, I go under the username "fontas" on coinchat. I'm still waiting for the payment.

As for this accusation:

No one has linked to any proof for this accusation. Contrary to popular belief, a bunch of angry people holding pitchforks isn't enough evidence.

You got your numbers confused. It's 0.50, not 0.05.

I am not going to pay 0.5.

And this guy represents Bitcointalk?

Dude you need to pay up since you offered 0.5 originally..

+1

This thread is very bad for the BitcoinTalk reputation. Please solve this asap.

Have you talked to him? To get to an agreement? You should.

PM'd didnt get any answer.

This is not the core issue.
If you said you would send 0.5 - as a joke - then you gotta send 0.5, unless you wanna be scammer-taged.
This was the rule for untrustworthy mods, last time I checked.

The .45 balance can be paid off by using the FreeBitCoin application only 1286 more time (~18k Captchas solved, ~643 hours of continuous use). Thus, it could be paid off in less than a month unless you sleep.

As i said, 0.5 was a keyboard slip, then i made it joke.

0.05 is paid.

Forget the scammer tag, this guy needs banned.

Really i think you do cuz ur selling accounts... ;)

No, I didn't break any rules. This guy did, he's a thief.

It was a joke, and thats a little too harsh. I was thinking of a scammer tag, and sent back to newbie

if the .50 BTC keyboard slip wasnt fixed by the time the guy made the video that you placed the bounty on, it is your responsibility to pay that .50 BTC. We are assuming you edited the amount from .50 to .05 After the video was made, as your edit says it was after that time.

Sitniki posted the video at 6:07 am (EST) You edited your bounty post at 6:20 (EST) 13 minues later, which leads us to believe you edited the amount, after they had already created the video. If it was a keyboard slip, why did you not edit it to .05 BTC within seconds, or even minutes of posting?

Its still a bit premature for people asking for the Scammer tag for XDeathwing, we are still getting details, and things are actively being explained and worked out. Either everything will come out and be resolved, or I'm assuming reprocussions will happen.

xDeathwing obviously isn't going pay $60 to sitnicki. As it stands, xDeathwing may get a scammer tag and sitnicki only got 10% of what he was owed.  But if the two can negotiate an amount that xDeathwing can pay, and sitnicki is happy with, and they'll both end up in a better position.

That's a pretty lame excuse. Imagine if BFL/Avalon said "delivery on December 2013 or your money back!", but later changed it to December 2016 and claimed it was a "typo".

XDeathWing why dont you just send another 0.2. In my eyes that should make some-what fair (not really) and also that software he made is AMAZING... (<-- I think your moderator status should be taken away from this)

More like "Buying 1 BTC for $1174.2".

Why not demod him? Clearly he can not handle even the smallest amount of responsibility.

Do you even read the thread?

Yes, you didn't steal anything, but you aren't giving what you owe...

You know what I find most interesting about this whole thing...

None of the people posting here are at any loss, sitnicki the one who is being "scammed" hasn't even posted here yet.
If sitnicki truly felt scammed by the situation would he not be over here making his case?

It just looks to me like a bunch of people trying to cause trouble over here.

would you like me to pm him and get him involved? The big fact is that a moderator did not keep his word and that is big since this is a very popular forum...

It's obvious which category Deathwing falls under... Certainly not a scammer. We've all been guilty of his situation.

Sending him a pm is simply pushing him to come over and complain with the promise of bitcoins or helping demote/scamtag an admin

He will proactively seek the cause if  he feels it justified.


And seriously how can anyone expect to be paid $60 for 5 minutes work? Even $5 for 5 minutes is $60/hr whereas $60 for 5 minutes is $740/hr

Yes!

"Scam" and "Ponzi Scheme" ate both abused in this community, sadly.

thanks for pointing it out.

Well, I do not see a 'Swindler's Accusation's' board, nor a 'Deceptionist Accusation's' board. So, it still stands. He did not scam. Merely got caught on a bluff, or, had the worst typo he could have had on a board that deals with digital currency.

xDeathwing, when will I get my money back?

If you are fontas, I pm'ed you a lot of times in CoinChat, please answer.

Aren't jokes half meant? So half of 0.5 is 0.25.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be taken against you.

wow the mods here are getting pretty desperate..
at least do what half the mods did before you and run some retard "company" into the ground after taking $10000000's from users on the forum, i mean investors.

Payment to xento(aka fontas)

http://i39.tinypic.com/5fgjcz.png

Are you trying to say that xDeathwing has not misled anybody, just because you think his offer was unreasonable?


Because the information on the blockchain is a big secret... right? https://blockchain.info/tx/dea395e5f3d37bd2e39fcaaf5808c6ebc4e9ec54e55ace4e6644881e33cfd765

IMO, accused should be unstaffed and get the untrustworthy tag. The situation is very much analogous to the Matt Wright case what with the "it was just a joke" defense and all and thus the taken measures should also be analogous.

Thank you for paying it back, this could be avoided if you just paid it back on the deadline.

But I wouldn't recommend you when handling money.

I agree with this. Untrustworthy tag for him.

Hah, forgot that people can find on mine too, fontas does not want to reveal addresses.(Well idk, he didn't want to reveal a while ago.)

I don't know if i'll take a Scammer or Untrustworthy tag but for this subject, i don't know...
I paid 0.05 to both person as i said before so i don't see any problems.

Next thing and he will start saying that he only wanted to "teach people a lesson"   ::)

This. Precisely.

Wow! Combining a TF troll with a MnW one is just too much for me not to give you a big thumb up (from a distance).

xDeathwing: you admited offering 0.5BTC for the video, before you edited the post.
The video was posted.
You owe 0.5BTC.
Period.

Wow... this looks great for the forum...  ::)

You gave me cancer sir, 98 activity 997 post, useless posts.

xDeathWing, atleast pay half of what you said... (0.2 More!)

He is no longer a moderator. I don't give out scammer tags anymore except in extraordinary cases. You can use the trust system.


As I typically do for language sections, I chose him after consulting the community in question (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=236662.0).

Just a little off-topic question... DO you know turkish or did you use translate.google.com?

I used translate.google.com. (If I knew Turkish, I'd moderate the section myself!)

Haha. Well kk. Wouldnt you think that it would only be fair if he paid 0.25 (1/2 of what he promised?)

I don't think that bounties are generally enforceable. In an informal bounty like this without specific language to the contrary, the bounty creator retains sole control over who receives the bounty, even if the community disagrees with him. So I don't think that xDeathwing is obligated to pay anything, though due to the confusion and small amount of money involved, he probably should pay 0.5.

I removed him as a moderator because this is all a bit shady, and his conduct in this thread leads me to believe that he is too reckless/careless to be a good moderator, not because I believe him to be guilty of scamming in this case.

Ok, well thank you for resolving this thread! :)

I am very impressed with your ability to read 997 posts as quickly as you did.  Speed Racer, go go go!

theymos, this is why you are awesome as a Mod.  I have done a bounty before and I ended up paying more than the initial bounty because I was pleased with the work that was presented, and I only pledged a bounty that was miniscule enough for me to not mind paying more than double than.  The fault with the Turkish mod is that he is not aware what the fault is at all... thank you for being you.

Thank you for taking action, theymos. Should I lock this thread?

If you consider it resolved might as well, but he hasn't paid still.

Excellent mod post! Seriously, excellent mod post... for SA, but not here.

You do realize that your actions reflect upon theymos, don't you? I have the utmost respect for theymos, albeit I sometimes give him a little shit. In fact, I'm on record in stating that I respect all the mods. I still do, sans one. Fathom a guess as to which one?

Excellent response, theymos.

I'll have to correct you here. This kind of post would be bannable on SA, mod or not. We frown on the use of tired, old catchphrases. Mostly because we invented them. 10 years ago. Like the one above. That was one of them.

Is 'SA' the forum version of ebaumsworld? Sure does sound like it.

Oh no, you didn't just go there. Be glad I like you, or I would be... would be.... would be posting pictures of your house and sending you Dominoes Pizza and little tiny packets of flour labeled cocaine. (The trick is it's not flour, it's cocaine)

hahaha hahaha...

It's trick cocaine that's actually anthrax.  :-\

Pass.

I knew there was a catch. :'(

I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous. You offered .5 BTC for someone to provide a service to you, they provided the service, and you are trying to send .05 BTC.

You claim you made a typo. But you were not upfront about this. You were not honest about this. Instead you MODIFIED a post in which you were quoted, without noting the change, to say ".05 BTC." That is extremely shady.

Let's say you did make a typo... you're still obligated because that is the amount you agreed to pay. If the person on the other end of the transaction decided to be understanding of you allegedly "making a typo," then that would be okay. But they haven't. And you haven't spoken to them. Because you seem to think you can say one thing and do another.

That is not how respectable people operate.

For those saying this does not fit the definition of a scam... the definition "a dishonest scheme; a fraud." The definition of fraud: "wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain."

I think it is quite deceptive to act like you said something you didn't, and even try to tamper with the evidence (the quoted post) to make it look like you said something else.

That's messed up man. And I think you know you're in the wrong here. You just don't want to be out the money. So man up and talk it over to sitnicki. Maybe he'll be understanding.

John

Dude just let it go, he is not a mod anymore...

No, but technically he still owes .45 BTC unless Sitnicki and he agree upon something else.

well he is a "scammer" and we can't do anything about it

Nope, ricin. 

http://i42.tinypic.com/s5bi9k.png

Adding my voice to all the praise. Way to handle this situation, theymos.

I agree, theymos handled this the right way.

Fuck the cocaine, I want flower. I know this chick with a yeast infection and I want to bake bread.

Sorry for my english
I received a payment from the xDeathwing in the amount of 0.05 BTC from which pleases me.
Please, do not take the next payment :) I recognize that xDeathwing made ​​a mistake by making a typo.
Please close the thread and not returning to it.

Exactly what I said!

We didn't know Sitnicki's perspective so this entire thread was simply a witch hunt, and we should have waited for Sitnicki's input.

Now that we have it, he recognized the typo and was pleased with the outcome making this entire thread irrelevant.

all you goofy motherfuckers in here on your moral crusade about xDeathwings actions are ridiculous. if you honestly think that he should have to pay .5 btc for a video, whether he said it or not, you are a waste of breath. the fact that he paid .05 btc at all shows some type of resolve in his charachter. you're all a bunch of fucking idiots, pure and simple, and all you try to do is create a fight out of a minor misunderstanding.

How about two misunderstandings.

No tag.

Carlos L.

I think you have some feedback to remove.
https://i.imgur.com/HhFyQta.png

That's up to Carlos L. I wouldn't do any business with xDeathwing either, but I'm not going to give him an untrustworthy rating because *I* don't feel it's warranted.

exactly, he got his bluff called and exposed for not having .5 btc. that isn't untrustworthy or scam tag worthy. i'm sure even sitnicki would agree.

Sitnicki is pleased with the result, he understands it was a typo.

Where is the problem?

You'll have to ask that of Carlos L.

It's possible that he doesn't feel xDeathwing should be allowed to relocate a decimal after both parties had agreed to terms.

You can't just come up and curse everybody. You are very disrespectful. What a shame for your parents.

Done.

Anyway it was solved before:



This thread can be closed.
Sitnicki accepted the 0.05 btc payment for the video.

It's not only what he did, but how he handled himself when doing so.  Being a moderator and acting that way is not acceptable. He is representing the community and doing so in a poor manor.

You also need to calm down a bit, you have some anger issues, I think.

I agree, when you are a member of staff for a company then you should be held to a higher standard than regular members.

Having said that I think Theymos handled the situation correctly and sitnicki is also happy with the resolution. It is pleasing to see that the scammer sub-forum has worked in this situation.

Agree. This has been handled very well by all involved. Well, all involved save one.

I agree that Theymos handled the situation very well.

I didn't even consider giving out three scammer tags to three users on this forum who've ordered custom hand tooled leather products from my brother-in-law and didn't pay one satoshi toward the over $500 USD owed going on two years now.

he(xDeathwing) said to me, its only a joke.
he is not a staff now

Why bump the thread after 5 weeks then?

Who's the "idiot'?  He could have kept his mouth shut, but he didn't.
That was a reckless move and him CHANGING it was a bit more reckless.
He paid 0.05 BTC?  Good for him, congratz and all, but I would've expected a(n) (ex)moderator to keep his word.


bump, lolz
