Bitcoin Forum

While crawling through some old posts I found this:


So I messaged the nixon98 account and was told that he had contacted his old account and was told that they had bought it.

Some of the PMs exchanged.

You'd be best posting in the Known Alts of any-one - A User Generated List ^{Mk III} (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2544574.0) thread...

Given your OP only has quotes it's a little hard to get that from the three posts. In any event it didn't warrant four merits. It's kind of a flimsy thread.

I don't see any proof that the account was hacked, only an allegation.  I spent a little time scrolling through the post history, didn't see a gap in shitposts, just an incessant stream.  Nor did I find an address posted or any way to prove ownership.

The accuser seems to have created the account nixon98 just to levy the accusation.  I see the posted quote of the PM, but those can easily be forged.  I don't know that there's enough evidence that would convince me to paint nixon99 red.

Are you serious ?  :o

Prior to the being hacked the account doesn't post in Russian once.

Immediately after the hack it starts posting mainly in Russian.

It has probably had more than one owner since.

It's been more than a year between when nixon98 appeared and when those PMs happened, and they only surfaced because xtraelv asked... unlikely that this would be such a slow long con for some random account.

But perhaps nixon98 could report that PM e.g. to hilariousandco to verify.

Your suspicion is not wrong, PM message could be edit. But I don't think xtraelv edited it. Since nixon99 self admitted that is bought account so red tag is appropriate in my opinions. Since your question is about legitimate of accusation it could be verify by moderators. If nixon98 had not sent PM to xtraelv then he can come on this thread with his statement. So he can report PM to any specific moderators to verify legitimate. Red tag could be removed if he able to provide valid evidence.

My opinion is nixon98 (current holder) bought this account. And that account has been hacked. So I have tag him, I will remove feedback if he come here and provide evidence. If it's true that he bought this account then I am not going to remove feedback.


Type mistake, Got it now. I have edited post. However, if nixon99 isn't bought account then he can come here and defend with evidence. And nixon98 could report the PM since both account is active. So problem could be solve.

Also the accusation by nixon98 was made in the same thread as the last post nixon99 had posted before the hack accusation.

Prior to the hack accusation nixon99 posted in that thread frequently. After the accusation they didn't.

The account is used to announce the  [ANN][ICO] 🚀 AZBIT - Blockchain Investment Banking (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4382120.0) thread.

Other accounts associated with the project have symilar accusations against it.

nixon98 is the accuser

nixon99 is the hacked account

nixon99 admitted having bought the account after nixon98 wrote to his hacked account.

nixon98 forwarded the conversation to me when I requested to see a copy of the PM after I saw their accusation from October 2017

It appears the hacked and stolen account is used by the community manager of AZBIT on bitcointalk - nixon99

Irony.

xtraelv is using screen shots to prove their point.

Seems like only a couple of days ago (http://archive.fo/LlVhV#selection-7101.0-7074.26) xtraelv was debunking screen shots as being doctored.

All of this should have been in the OP not teased out like decayed teeth.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying the evidence isn't clear-cut enough for my liking.


The notion that xtraelv doctored the PM never even crossed my mind.  I certainly didn't mean to imply that.

We don't know that.
Account is either hacked and sold or just sold which happens occasionally, someone sells account and tries to reclaim it.

Azbit? Well, I wonder how their advisor Roger (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=10310) didn't advice them not to buy forum accounts  ::)

I tend to believe that nixon99 account changed hands at least two times.

It is difficult to tell if the account is hacked or sold (first 8 month stretch from October to May '18). The account was then apparently sold (according to the current owner of nixon99).

One thing feels weird though, apart from a single msg in Quark ANN, nixon98 really didn't try to get his account back. No posts in Meta, nothing and we all know how bitchy (and rightfully so) are people who have lost access to their high-ranked accounts.

That did strike me as odd. But the post was just before the posting habit changes. Also no address was staked so they may have just given up on the hope of reclaiming it.

Some people bitch and moan over something like that while others write it off to bad experience. They may have previously seen people being unsuccessful in reclaiming their account.

I messaged the nixon99 account as well for an explanation but have received no reply yet. They did log on since....

The best scenario is that the victim gets their account back.

I wish bpip have existed back in '17 so we could see account changes i.e passwords/email.

He only mentions password has been changed. You'd ultimately get an email with the option to lock your account, right? I guess he missed that opportunity as well.  ::)

Back in the olden days before you kids got spoiled by Vod we used archives ;)

Unfortunately someone was slacking and didn't archive the seclog between October 15-21 2017, which is when this alleged hack happened.

I have a reply back. While I consider the rest of the project probably doesn't warrant being tainted by the feedback the account is confirmed as bought.

I sent the following reply:


The information sent by nixon99 appears to match that suggested by:

Who says nixon didn't sold his account himself for Bitcoin ?

Seeing that he made no action to get his account back it seems reasonable to belive so.

Unless there is proof to the contrary it would be reasonable to believe his claim that it was hacked. Everything else he has told me so far has been able to be verified as truthful.

1) the accusation was made at the time within days of the alleged hack and has not been edited since.
2) nixon98 was warning others in his Octorber 2017 post.
3) the account was only a JrMember account or symilar at the time.
4) no address was staked for recovery
5) bitcointalk only recovers a very small number of accounts - it is notoriously hard to recover
6) I did not ask what else he did to try to recover the account.
7) The account was in existence when the bitcointalk database was hacked.

All i can say about nixon is he is an asshole trying hard to make money scamming other people with scam coins and defaming people who exposed these scams and destroyed his "investment"

Would he get that account it would be used for nothing good.

I'm sure this assessment has nothing to do with him pointing out that you seem to have failed to complete a job (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105851.msg49595711#msg49595711) you've been paid for.

Suchmoon you poor try to defame me or making me angry is not going to work.
Did i mention your guy sent me a PM being pissed a friend of yours tagged him?

Btw i would love to post a picture of you how a keyboard warrior looks like.
Do i get your permission ?

You seem to less coherent than usual. What does any of this have to do with nixon98/99?

You have admitted taking 10k quarks and used some flimsy excuses to not complete the job. Now you're attacking nixon98 for pointing that out.

I have just forwarded the reply I received from nixon99 to hilariousandco and referenced this thread.

Lies and gibberish.
Unsound mind.
Unsavoury character.
