Not sure how this will turn out, but ask TradeFortress (http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/nov/08/hackers-steal-1m-from-bitcoin-tradefortress-site) anything :) (instead of polluting all the threads I reply to.)

AsQuestion(Hello. You didn't officially end the IO signature campaign before my succeeding month was up, while I kept the signature in until the next pay date. Given the campaign was not explicitly launched by any registered company, I'd assume it was DBA and that you're personally liable until proof of bankruptcy grant is provided. You owe me .4BTC. I thought I'd be the most appropriate person to bring this up. ... :P)

I feel like this is going to be a thread of "You owe me!"s. So I'll join in. However, because I must "ask" you a question, I'll establish it in a question.

Do you feel as if you should owe me 0.1 for my loss at Inputs.IO.

Thank you :P :)

Bitcoin was trading for around ~$200 back then. I'm not rich (despite what some people think), and can't afford paying everyone, and definitely not paying everyone at current rates.

Bitstamp last: $504
0.4 * (200/504) = 0.1587 BTC

Hi, I am lordsonkit on Coin chat. Long been out of the crappy Bitcointalk and moved to Reddit.
So... about the debt of the Coinlenders (which is independent from Inputs.io, as you've previously said), are you currently in the round 2 of liquidation?

Thank you, an actual question! I'm still lingering around here because I'm still interested in Bitcoin, and what's happening with it and the community. It's not my intention to antagonize people (most of the time), although my style may result in people seeing it as trolling.

The reasons that have bought me into Bitcoin (namely, a decentralized way to send money, and be your own bank) has not changed. I'm still interested in Bitcoin.

Would you able to repay partially of the owed Bitcoin or any plan to do so in a spanned timeframe?

Do you plan on paying back the people who trusted you and how?

When/if ASICMINER resumes dividends again, I'll be able to repay more. I do not have the funds to, and are not repaying people generally. I may choose to pay people personally as earlier on in this thread.

Also, 001sonkit you seem to be under the assumption that providing hashes of your password allows authentication of your account. Passwords were of course hashed and salted, not stored in plaintext.


Title: Re: Ask TF thread
Post by: 001sonkit on August 25, 2014, 03:10:14 PM
Keep us updated if you are having new move on your repayment method/plan or whatever. Given the current situation 30-40% is acceptable range for me if you consider to repay perhaps some plans to negotiate for future repayments?
Andd I am glad that you are still considerably keeping to your line compared to other defaulters..... (RIP GOX and all others... whatever they are)

Just some suggestion, why not open up a new identity so the trust and "fame" won't follow where you go? Casual chat and all the shit separated?

Why would anyone buy a tainted account like his? Granted its a VIP account, I think but with so many negative trust it really isn't worth much, if anything. My coin is that its the real TF, it may not be, but it makes no sense that it wouldn't be..

He's become a celebrity in the Bitcoin world everyone knows of him and thats why is account would be valuable. his account probably would of sold for 20 Bitcoin +++

Can you post a PGP signed message using your old public key (admin@glados.cc) in order to prove its really you?
Could you also use a timestamp authority when signing it, or you could include the hash of the latest block mined. I have no doubt it is really you but that should put everyones mind to rest.

Here are my questions, please don't try the technique of selectively answering the ones that suit you and ignoring the others.

1) You said before that inputs.io was hacked but never said what happened to coinlenders.com and your various stocks/bonds (bitbond was one IIRC).  Why were none of the people using those reimursed, what happened to those funds?

2) You claim you do not have much Bitcoins.
This thread claims that after the hack you were in possession of at least 1300BTC: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=346236
Most of these addresses still have a large balance.

How accurate is the data in this thread?
If you claim it is not accurate, can you explain why many of these addresses appear as inputs in transactions along with the address 1GLadosEkeAsLReqS3yQ51E1R3wVtbJCDF?

3) You mentioned before that the assets you own are seperate to those of your business. Was Inputs.io, coinlenders and BITBOND all registered and operating as a seperate legal entity?

If you were, why did you not publicly publish the information and contact details for this legal entity which you are likely required to do by law in your country?

If your business(es) were not operating as a seperate legal entity then you were likely operating as a sole trader - which means these assets legally belong to your debtors because YOU owe the debt and not a seperate legal entity.

By that measure Pirate's account would be about:

820,000/4000 * 20BTC = 4100 BTC.  Pirate could sell his account to somebody and use the funds to pay back all of TF's loses.  Scary how that number works out almost exactly  :o


Title: Re: Ask TF thread
Post by: devthedev on August 25, 2014, 10:40:25 PM
- Hey TF how are you?

- Would you consider refunding the .23BTC I held in inputs at the time of the hack?

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.


Title: Re: Ask TF thread
Post by: ForgottenPassword on August 25, 2014, 11:36:14 PM
You guys really think that if you ask nicely he'll refund you all?

Regardless of if he got hacked or not he did not handle the situation correctly at all and he hasn't explained why coinlenders depositors or BITBOND investors haven't received a satoshi yet inputs.io was the only website hacked. If you want your funds back you need to take legal action against him. The only reason he has done nothing since the hack or even provided any updates is because nobody has taken legal action against him. Somebody needs to step up and make the first move.

Stop asking, the time for that past a long time ago, take action instead - do it for everyone who was affected.

Celebrity is maybe not the right word. I think 'infamous' would be though. I think what he means by famous is that he's well known in the community (for something nefarious), so infamous fits  :D.

599 shares of ASICMINER.

There's plenty, including debts such as BitFunder balances, Btcquick, Ukyo.Loan, Graet.Loan, etc. (Graet claims he will repay 1% but has missed the deadline). I do not expect any cl loan returns. ASICMINER is one of the few remaining that might pay out some BTC.

You said that the collateral at coinlenders were those shares of asicminer, as well as other securities.  Do you plan to pay people back as dividends start to trickle in?  Would you be willing to transfer those shares to a third party who can start working out someway to pay people back in proportion with dividends?
You said that you expect to pay back about 25% of lost balances based on price from then to today.  That means if AsicMiner is able to return 1 btc per share, either through dividends and/or share price, you can effectively pay off most of the remaining balance, minus the people who have already settled.

OK. I don't know anything that people should know, I don't think.

I did wake up weirdly at 4am to see the whole thing unfolding, but thought at first it was mostly likely FUD made up by the PRC guys. When it became apparent that there really was a problem I divested and withdrew.

I'm having a hard time knowing what to think about the whole thing. There's no sensible explanation for what has happened. You don't commit changes from new employees to such a big site without a code review. You don't cheat in such an obvious way. It's just weird.

If I had to decide right now, I'd go with the rogue-employee story being the truth, but really who knows...

How many shares of AsicMiner do you own?  Are there any other securities you own and do you plan to start making payments back to people when those assets start paying dividends?
599 shares of ASICMINER.

There's plenty, including debts such as BitFunder balances, Btcquick, Ukyo.Loan, Graet.Loan, etc. (Graet claims he will repay 1% but has missed the deadline). I do not expect any cl loan returns. ASICMINER is one of the few remaining that might pay out some BTC.

You said that the collateral at coinlenders were those shares of asicminer, as well as other securities.  Do you plan to pay people back as dividends start to trickle in?  Would you be willing to transfer those shares to a third party who can start working out someway to pay people back in proportion with dividends?
You said that you expect to pay back about 25% of lost balances based on price from then to today.  That means if AsicMiner is able to return 1 btc per share, either through dividends and/or share price, you can effectively pay off most of the remaining balance, minus the people who have already settled.

No. Jerrod (BTCQuick) owes CL 100+ BTC, ran off. BTCOxygen owes 1000 and a bit BTC, ran off. Ukyo and Graet combined owes about 300 BTC, basically ran off. BlackLiliac owes 200+ BTC, ran off. CoinLenders wasn't 100% ASICMINER backed.

Don't know if it's been asked or if you'd want to answer it (which is fine), but how much personal bitcoin wealth do you have?

Not much for someone who was in Bitcoin since 2011.

AsQuestion(Hello. You didn't officially end the IO signature campaign before my succeeding month was up, while I kept the signature in until the next pay date. Given the campaign was not explicitly launched by any registered company, I'd assume it was DBA and that you're personally liable until proof of bankruptcy grant is provided. You owe me .4BTC. I thought I'd be the most appropriate person to bring this up. ... :P)

Yep. I originally traded TF in-game items for BTC. At that time, trades were not reversed if there was a credit card chargeback, so it proved to be a useful way to sell BTC risk-free to people wishing to pay with credit cards.

Inputs admin panel with a shockingly low wallet balance, I thought it was a fork at first.

I can't see Bitcoin being used physically without a wallet in which funds would necessarily need to be inputted. I wouldn't wait for 20 minutes for my groceries to "confirm".

inputs.io worked so well for that purpose, it was extremely easy to incorporate and a lot of sites used it.

2.) When a sole proprietor loses the deposits of his clients, how much of his own assets would it be ethical for him to retain in lieu of returning the lost deposits?

First of all, best username on this forum.  Kudos.

Hey TF - don't know if you remember our debate over PMB's, but Deprived/twentyseventy's derivative model solves the perpetually-yield-less issue by adding a shorting mechanism.  Of course, before ASICs came along, PMB's were actually not the worst investment out there.

I've seen DMS :)

As always, how good an investment (like a PMB) is depends on the price. Prior to DMS-like mining derivatives, asset issuers created PMBs at pricepoints where it is extremely unrealistic for buyers to make a profit. The price is what made those PMBs bad investments.

TradeFortress, care to answer my questions?

Can you post a PGP signed message using your old public key (admin@glados.cc) in order to prove its really you?
Could you also use a timestamp authority when signing it, or you could include the hash of the latest block mined. I have no doubt it is really you but that should put everyones mind to rest.

Here are my questions, please don't try the technique of selectively answering the ones that suit you and ignoring the others.

1) You said before that inputs.io was hacked but never said what happened to coinlenders.com and your various stocks/bonds (bitbond was one IIRC).  Why were none of the people using those reimursed, what happened to those funds?

2) You claim you do not have much Bitcoins.
This thread claims that after the hack you were in possession of at least 1300BTC: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=346236
Most of these addresses still have a large balance.

How accurate is the data in this thread?
If you claim it is not accurate, can you explain why many of these addresses appear as inputs in transactions along with the address 1GLadosEkeAsLReqS3yQ51E1R3wVtbJCDF?

3) You mentioned before that the assets you own are seperate to those of your business. Was Inputs.io, coinlenders and BITBOND all registered and operating as a seperate legal entity?

If you were, why did you not publicly publish the information and contact details for this legal entity which you are likely required to do by law in your country?

If your business(es) were not operating as a seperate legal entity then you were likely operating as a sole trader - which means these assets legally belong to your debtors because YOU owe the debt and not a seperate legal entity.

What the F&$% TradeFortress.  You negative rep'd me!  I deleted the damn signature campaign add a few days ago!  I understand if you want to try and do some good in this community, givin your past, but after getting your pretentious as hell PM, I removed the freaking ad and you still left negative trust on my account. 

Remove it now, as I removed the ad when I found out they were having problems, you have no basis for saying that I am a potential scammer!

Negative feedback from TF will only make you appear more trustworthy.  Don't worry about it.

I realize that, and it is a badge of honor in the same way that my BlackArrow neg rep is, but I thought since he took the time to craft those PM's and am trying to get back into this community, he would at least be trustworthy, this just shows he is the same person that ran off with all our btc.

My condition: collateral will be liquidated the moment they are unable to cover 100% of the loan.

No one cares about not trusted feedback.

And they care even less about TF's feedback.

It is not uncommon users with red feedback do massive neg reputation for no reason, so no one will care about it.

You really shouldn't submit to TF's signature blackmail.  You're free to put any signature you want.  His account is currently being investigated by the mods for this recent PM blackmail activity.  Don't let a guy with -900 trust bother you.  It's likely his account is going to be banned for these recent shenanigans.

Sounds more like extortion ("do what I say if you don't want me to do something bad to you") than blackmail ("do what I say if you don't want me to reveal a secret").

Hey Jackass,

I posted on this topic in reply to the dude who said he submitted to TF's blackmail in exactly two threads.  The first one is here where the dude admits to submitting to the blackmail and asks TF to take away the neg-rep. The second one was in the thread where the dude said "oh i'm sorry i removed the sig" in in the thread about the sig-ad campaign itself.  These two posts are both relevant and in reply to the guy who admitted to submitting to the blackmail.  And, what do you know, many many people are replying to it and engaging with it.  Just because you disagree or you don't understand doesn't make something irrelevant or off-topic.

As for haters like you who probably got kicked out of the PD campaign for low-quality posts and spamming I'm tired of you riding my ass.  I obviously did not get kicked out of the campaign for exactly the reason that I do not spam and put low-quality posts.  Give up on the hating and concentrate on the discussion at hand.  If you look at my post count since last month it's around 100, that's no where near 400 so really, give up on your hating.

Finally, the irony of Mr "ACCTseller" griping about signature spam is nearly too strong to believe.  The whole point of activity levels and ranks and their correlation to signature size is to prevent newbies from getting a hold of accounts that they didn't take the time to build up themselves---preventing signature spam.  Looking in your own post history I can see you saying stuff like "most people who buy an account make make up the ROI in no time with a sig campaign".  Wow.
[/rant]

Back to our normally scheduled thread.  Cheers!

As to the non-hater bullshit part of your post, TF definitely has a right to his opinion but neg-repping everyone involved in a campaign and threatening them doesn't amount to spreading your opinion, it's considered against the rules.  Voicing your opinion is one thing, neg-repping everyone you disagree with is another.  Sending PMs saying "remove your signature or else" are yet another.

@DannyHamilton:

You might be right about the semantics of blackmail vs extortion---but threatening is naughty no matter which type of threatening. :)

You also have displayed interest in participating in the dice.ninja signature campaign.

I have two questions:

1 - are you willing to reverse your stance on dicebitco.in now that they have refunded all users' "losses" as a result of the skipped nonce issue? You previously said you consider them to be a scam because they have not repaid all of their users' money that should have been owed to them.

2 - Can you please describe your relationship between both yourself and dicebitco.in and between yourself and dice.ninja? Have you played at either site (if so how much did you win/lose)? Have you invested in either site (and if so how much do you have invested, what is the most you have had in either site, and what is your gain/loss on your investment)?

What is obvious is that you have a strong preconceived opinion, and have no interest of changing your views irrespective to what I say. Your postings revolve around demonstrating that you consider yourself wiser than other people because you stopped using CoinLenders earlier. I think you should find more interesting and less boastful uses of your time.

I won't be responding to you in the future because of your firm opinions and attitude, not because I have no arguments against your views.

Hey thanks and received :)

For the record you send me 0.0994 though ;)

Sorry about that, I didn't realize that the exchange I was sending from deducted 0.0006 BTC from the transfer amount.

You have shamed dicebitco.in, but now they apparently have made good on their "misdeeds" (see this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789339.msg8895325#msg8895325))

Not entirely. DiceBitco.in disabled bet lookups for other users, coinciding with 'mateo''s bets. I believe a user has also analyzed and found the chance of 'mateo' winning that much with their bet pattern and volume to be below minus 5 sigma.

DiceBitco.in still hasn't fully compensated all users. They only refunded deposits, not what the player would have won without the rigging. Users who would have won double their deposit would only get their original deposit back.

TF:

What steps have you taken to collect those debts? What collateral did you obtain prior to issuing those loans?
If you are unwilling to legally pursue collection of those debts on behalf of Coinlenders depositors please post the details of those loans including debtor contact information on this forum so the depositors can pursue those debts directly.

First off, would you consider sending me the Bitcoins left in my wallet? It was about 0.1 BTC, and although it wasn't a lot I would still like it back because I generally used faucets and giveaways to obtain amounts of BTC as I have never been able to put money into it.

Also, how do you intend on repaying other users, if you do at all? And what happened to the people working at Inputs?
Send me an email from your Inputs email, along with an address.

BTER. I have no doubt that they use this as a revenue raising method, although they may receive a large amount of dust deposited that results in some of their transactions requiring higher fees.

It's the same link as it always was (coinchat.org). It's member count is pretty low, as they don't promote it a whole lot (I don't think they want a mass amount of members, or just don't have enough funds to advertise.)

Thank you, an actual question! I'm still lingering around here because I'm still interested in Bitcoin, and what's happening with it and the community. It's not my intention to antagonize people (most of the time), although my style may result in people seeing it as trolling.

The reasons that have bought me into Bitcoin (namely, a decentralized way to send money, and be your own bank) has not changed. I'm still interested in Bitcoin.

I feel this is a wonderful reason to stick around.

How about the negative feedback you left me and in your email said you would remove as I removed the signature when it was brought to my attention that the site was a scam?  Surely you remember writing that email to me and saying you would remove it?

Here is an actual question, how can you justify giving negative trust to all those who advertised that dice site, for which we will never know if it was a scam or if they really got hacked, but you don't give negative trust to those who advertised inputs or coinlenders, even though there is also no way we will ever probably know if you stole the coins or if they were actually stolen (either way you said you would be liable for all of them when I deposited the coins and I never agreed to any other terms and conditions)?

If you remember, about 3 months before the theft, TF blocked ALL personal messages on the forum, forcing everyone to email him.  He didn't want Theymos to see what he was doing.

It's like a smoking gun.  Or someone who changes their will right before they die in an "accident".  TF knew he was going to scam, and he planned for it.

Speaking of which... it appears TF or $username has ~16 BTC sitting in his known bitcoin wallet not associated with inputs.io/CoinLenders

https://blockchain.info/address/1GLadosEkeAsLReqS3yQ51E1R3wVtbJCDF

So if you would like to use a portion of that to refund my 1 BTC that was supposedly safe at CoinLenders it'd be appreciated. You can keep the some odd interest that I had earned so long as I get the original 1 BTC back, the USD price is probably about the same as it was when I deposited also.

I believe he was a decent programmer. Even if this wasn't a inside job, it doesn't make you a bad programmer that you missed something which someone else found out. Peoples brains operate differently, or may be more skilled. It doesn't make him a bad programmer.

Although, for holding such a large amount of coins, he should of invested in some penetration testing. (He might have) But, as far as I'm aware he coded it himself and probably didn't think it would be a problem checking for security issues himself.

Sadly, I too had money stored there. Which I didn't get back (lucky I was wise enough not to store much there), But I'm not going to go throw shit at the wall and call him a bad programmer. I might.

It doesn't matter if I believe he stole it or not, we can't prove it and we are speculating.

Touche, the websites did operate well and efficiently, which would have taken coding skills.  I guess I should have called him an idiot for leaving that much in a hot wallet.  So I would suppose stupid but gifted at programming is a better way to describe him.  Also a liar for telling people he would back up funds with his own and a liar for saying he wasn't going to keep that much in the hot wallet.  You could also argue a thief, depending on what you believe happened to the coins.

It wasn't a programming bug. The exact vulnerability is described in Brain Eha's upcoming book Walking the Silk Road (inputs has its own section!!), but the gist was the attacker managed to reset the password on a chain of my emails, and get into the server control panel. There was no programming bug.

Inputs had been penetration tested regularly, and on security-critical projects I regularly spend upwards of $5000 on a thorough pentest by professional security forums.

This is the sticking point with me. TF was smart enough to know that you can't fully secure anything, and even if you make it so hard it isn't worth it, there's always social engineering.

Yeah, I don't have any explanation other than (i) lazyness (the system wasn't set up to make sending to cold storage easy, and it had to be performed manually), (ii) wanting to keep sufficient amounts on the server so nobody worries/panics, and (iii) about 1500 BTC was deposited within 48 hrs of the hack.

The later systems I've built do make sending to cold storage easier, but for the most recent site it was still an manual process. I intend on doing automatic cold storage transfers (hourly cronjob) for my future projects.

Do you feel any responsibility or remorse for those people that got screwed because of you?  Still feeling the pinch because part of my wedding budget was in coinlenders, as well as, my fianc馥's tuition money, and as far as I knew you were going to reimburse people from your own personal stash if anything went wrong (those were the terms I agreed to and was never asked to agree to something different), so I felt like they were pretty safe and obviously wasn't my whole amount.  Do you think its fair to sit on a couple hundred shares of AsicMiner, as well as other securities and bitcoin, and leave those you damaged as if nothing happened?  Certainly if you think that all of that is OK, you will show yourself at some conference or give out your personal details so people can talk with you face to face, because you don't think you did anything wrong, why would others?

Charlie Hedbo thought they did nothing wrong but someone did,  now 12 are dead. http://m.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30710883

If you were TF right now would you reveal your identity?

Even when he was highly trusted TF wished to remain anonymous, why would he reveal himself when there is so much bad blood towards him?

exactly my point to prove that people hold him responsible and that he owes the community still.

Do you feel any responsibility or remorse for those people that got screwed because of you?  Still feeling the pinch because part of my wedding budget was in coinlenders, as well as, my fianc馥's tuition money, and as far as I knew you were going to reimburse people from your own personal stash if anything went wrong (those were the terms I agreed to and was never asked to agree to something different), so I felt like they were pretty safe and obviously wasn't my whole amount.  Do you think its fair to sit on a couple hundred shares of AsicMiner, as well as other securities and bitcoin, and leave those you damaged as if nothing happened?  Certainly if you think that all of that is OK, you will show yourself at some conference or give out your personal details so people can talk with you face to face, because you don't think you did anything wrong, why would others?
I'm sorry for how CL/Inputs ended.

Another question:

(sorry for the multiple posts and sorry if this has been answered already).

I know that inputs/CL lost 4,100+ bitcoin from the attack (the headline number), however how much was "lost" after you account for the money that was repaid to investors from ??? funds? In other words what was the net amount lost by investors?

In regards to the money that was paid back, where did this money come from? was it from cold storage? from your personal funds?

What you do think the overall chances of your investors being able to recoup additional recoveries from inputs/CL are? Is it close to zero or do you think there is a fighting chance they could get repaid?

I understand it could be some dude just posting an email. The whole way the scam took place is weird. all I know is dude dropped an email that has a past. inputs.io had social engineering tactics and someone has gone around impersonating trade fortress. from what I have found people believe that trade fortress was another member called milkshake. the domain name for the email that was used was registered to yan wang and now shows mark russells. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=211169.0

Reported by ad...@glados.cc, Oct 31, 2014

VULNERABILITY DETAILS
Opened windows (through normal hrefs with target="_blank") can modify window.opener.location and replace the parent webpage with something else, even on a different origin (bypassing same origin policy).

While this doesn't allow script execution, it does allow phishing attacks that silently replace the parent tab (which a user already mentally trusts).

window.opener.location should not be modifiable if on a different origin.

VERSION
Chrome Version: 37.0.2062.94 + stable
Operating System: Ubuntu

REPRODUCTION CASE

https://hashie.co/chrome/demo.html

Oct 31, 2014
#1 meacer@chromium.org

Thanks for the report, but the repro doesn't seem to be working on Chrome 38 on Linux. Could you try reproducing with a more recent version?

Oct 31, 2014
#2 ad...@glados.cc

Unfortunately the latest version of Chromium in my PPA is 37.

I've been able to reproduce this on Chrome 38.0.2125.114 for Android.

Oct 31, 2014
#3 ad...@glados.cc

To clarify, the actual POC is in the link on the page. The https://hashie.co/chrome/demo.html page will be replaced with example.org by pix4bit.com

Nov 1, 2014
#4 meacer@chromium.org

The demo page doesn't work for me on M37 on Mac either. When I switch back to example.com tab I see a very brief flash of https://hashie.co/chrome/demo.html but otherwise the actual example.com page is displayed in page contents. I haven't tested on Android yet though.

Nov 2, 2014
#5 wfh@chromium.org

The user decides to trust a particular tab by inspecting the URL and determining the origin.  In all cases here both tabs area always showing the correct origin for the content being shown.

On android, when entering any data into a form, the origin is always shown, even if it's previously been elided by scrolling down.  The user can then make a trust decision based on this visible origin.

Given this, I don't see any risk to users more than the users just clicking on a link and visiting a new page, so I am closing with WontFix.

Do you have any  idea who the hacker could of been?

At this point I don't have much to go on. The only things that stand out is that this email had to deal with the inputs.io hack. there are chat logs that are pretty much one sided in that they all seem to be from TraderFortress. in the chat logs there is a person called crypt0queen. probably would fit the whole frozen thing. it boils down to two things 1. we either believe that inputs.io was breached and that TradeFortress didn't hack it himself. or 2. that he was the victim of social engineering and had all of his shit compromised. the log is found here http://btcfaucet.com/logs/TradeFortress_inputsio.txt

09:10 < TradeFortress> hi
09:12 < TradeFortress> I take full responsibility for leaving that much in the hot wallet.
09:13 < TradeFortress> The hacker tried resetting passwords for my email addresses, and was able to reset one which was created 6 years earlier, without phone / recovery email and gmail happily allowed resetting.
09:14 < TradeFortress> That compromised email account was the recovery for another hotmail email, which was also compromised.
09:15 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk, read please.
09:15 < TradeFortress> I didn't use the old email account without MFA
09:15 < TradeFortress> That old email acc was the recovery email of another account
09:15 < TradeFortress> @gmail > @hotmail > @gmail (2, recv'd forwarding from admin@glados.cc)
09:16 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: yes
09:16 < TradeFortress> linode 2FA was bypassed
09:16 < TradeFortress> they seem to be aware of it and don't bother to fix it.
09:16 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: yes
09:17 < TradeFortress> the attacker also used a (compromised?) server close to my geographical location
09:17 < TradeFortress> I think that helped massively with email recovery
09:18 < TradeFortress> pbase: no. I want to be open and communcative about what has happened.
09:19 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: I took significant efforts in protecting Inputs' server, but I've never thought about old abandoned emails.
09:20 < TradeFortress> BCB: What do you want me to do then? Invent a magic wand?
09:20 < TradeFortress> I'm refunding as much as I can from all the BTC I have, and the assets I or CL owns.
09:21 < TradeFortress> 9536feebe3a50b94f85ca27d56e669a7209bd4188385d55c5b97227c95cf7f74
09:21 < TradeFortress> BTC was sent here, it's still unspent. https://blockchain.info/address/1EMztWbGCBBrUAHquVeNjWpJKcB8gBzAFx
09:24 < TradeFortress> Quite simply, I wasn't sure what to do, if I could acquire 4K btc so users are not at a loss, and as well as investigating the scope of the hack.
09:25 < TradeFortress> *sign*
09:26 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: the txid was the first inputs hack
09:26 < TradeFortress> the API was the second, done by the same attacker who dumped the user DB, and then used the API
09:27 < TradeFortress> TheButterZone, I can't see how that'd hurt.
09:28 < TradeFortress> bitsav3: 2x gmail, 1x hotmail
09:30 < TradeFortress> bitnumus, if you check the txid lots of deposits are recent
09:32 < TradeFortress> bitnumus: yes, there's cold storage, but there was more in the hot pocket than cold storage
09:34 < TradeFortress> viboracecata?
09:35 < TradeFortress> theboos, I'm very interested in what security vulns viboracecata claims to have on Inputs.
09:35 < TradeFortress> so has he followed up with the claim? and how long ago?
09:36 < TradeFortress> I'm not aware of any unsolved security vulnerabilities relating to Input's code and enviroment, other than the DB has been compromised. The attack was done through email resets and bypassing security features on Linode's side.
09:37 < TradeFortress> 2FA
09:38 < TradeFortress> BCB: no.
09:38 < TradeFortress> web server was bought from Linode, bitcoind server was on macminicolo
09:38 < TradeFortress> (I own the metal to the macminicolo)
09:39 < TradeFortress> crypt0queen: that's what was used
09:39 < TradeFortress> it wasn't compromised through a server vuln
09:40 < TradeFortress> Linode's position is that my account was not compromised. The attacker simply reset my Linode password through an email request, and then ssh'd into Linode's lish, and got console access to my Linode through lish with my linode account password.
09:40 < TradeFortress> linode lets you reset  root passwords..
09:42 < TradeFortress> the attacker copied certain files via FTP using mc, to another (I believe compromised server), and accessed the bitcoind server by pretending to make withdraw requests for an account with an inflated balance
09:42 < TradeFortress> BigBitz: NO
09:42 < TradeFortress> FTP WAS NOT ENABLED
09:42 < TradeFortress> yes
09:43 < TradeFortress> I have obtained the logs
09:43 < TradeFortress> (through Linode)
09:43 < TradeFortress> attacker installed mc
09:43 < TradeFortress> transferred files to 10;15Hd@mastersearching.com:mercedes49@69.85.88.31
09:43 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: yes, internal ones
09:45 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk, multiple files that relates to internal functions of Inputs, ie the controller.
09:46 < TradeFortress> I have no evidence of the bitcoind mac mini getting compromised. it didn't bark. I suspect the attacker also made one account have -4000 BTC
09:46 < TradeFortress> which allowed it to pass sanity checks
09:46 < TradeFortress> as the total balance as reported by the db matched.
09:46 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: I have the logs of what they did to the server.
09:47 < TradeFortress> on the server, via lish, I should say.
09:47 < TradeFortress> theboos: did it directly through the DB
09:47 < TradeFortress> wasn't logged.
09:47 < TradeFortress> as it copied DB access creds
09:48 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: not on the database
09:48 < TradeFortress> bitsav3, I think they're compromised hosts
09:48 < TradeFortress> like http://mastersearching.com/
09:48 < TradeFortress> theboos, of course I've audited the db
09:49 < TradeFortress> the DB doesn't log every single change
09:50 < TradeFortress> general_log wasn't enabled
09:50 < TradeFortress> nor binary logs
09:51 < TradeFortress> +infinity
09:53 < TradeFortress> BCB: it's not enabled.
09:54 < TradeFortress> I didn't disable them, I'm pretty sure they're not enabled by default.
09:55 < TradeFortress> yup BCB
09:55 < TradeFortress> coingenuity, yes, macmini bitcoind iplocked to the web linode
09:55 < TradeFortress> that's a surprise to me
09:56 < TradeFortress> pbase: no, I have saved disk images as soon as I detected the compromise
09:56 < TradeFortress> yep
09:56 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: installed the env myself.
09:57 < TradeFortress> pbase: definitely not publicly. I'd expect there to be quite a lot of sensitive information in RAM, such as cached mysql data.
09:58 < TradeFortress> actually, no, I didn't do a ram dump.
09:58 < TradeFortress> but the disk image includes db data
09:59 < TradeFortress> I am not aware of if it was forensically sound. I estimate not.
09:59 < TradeFortress> The disk image was dumped via cloning using linode manager.
09:59 < TradeFortress> took like half a hour too
10:01 < TradeFortress> no, not booted
10:01 < TradeFortress> it was cloned to another linode that have not been booted
10:01 < TradeFortress> another as in brand new.
10:02 < TradeFortress> first of all, I'll have to figure out how to transfer the disk image
10:03 < TradeFortress> then I'll have to boot the disk image and remove the db files?
10:04 < TradeFortress> user DB is sorta sensitive. while passwords are hashed w/ bcrypt, PINs are exposed, and there's emails
10:05 < TradeFortress> theboos, that sounds like a good idea
10:05 < TradeFortress> BCB: password reset for my emails, linode, yes.
10:06 < TradeFortress> bitsav3, I will
10:06 < TradeFortress> BCB: they're like typical resets, what do you want to see?
10:07 < TradeFortress> https://i.imgur.com/sQnXsx0.png
10:07 < TradeFortress> the second time the attacker tried to get in
10:08 < TradeFortress> apisnetworks (my shared host, attacker thought there was something useful in here)
10:09 < TradeFortress> pastebin?
10:09 < TradeFortress> http://pastebin.com/J7S9xWyT
10:10 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: yep, there was one from Oct 23 that I can't now find for some reason.
10:10 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: hence 'the second time'.
10:10 < TradeFortress> right
10:11 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: where did you get the impression that I 'didn't do anything'?
10:11 < TradeFortress> I didn't just disregard the password reset email, especially since I couldn't login to linode again
10:11 < TradeFortress> second reset was mine, to regain access
10:12 < TradeFortress> BCB: no
10:12 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: what?
10:12 < TradeFortress> look at the screenshot
10:12 < TradeFortress> look at the screenshot
10:12 < TradeFortress> how many emails do you see
10:12 < TradeFortress> 2
10:12 < TradeFortress> 1st one: second time attacker tried to get access
10:12 < TradeFortress> 2nd one: me regaining access
10:15 < TradeFortress> glados.cc is powered by google apps
10:15 < TradeFortress> btcfaucet, tried pass resets
10:16 < TradeFortress> btcfaucet, I do not know what they performed, I do not remember the answer to security questions myself.
10:16 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: when you have shell access you can easily disable that.
10:16 < TradeFortress> BCB: k
10:16 < TradeFortress> duh
10:17 < TradeFortress> with gmail account, I recovered access simply by entering my old (changed) password
10:17 < TradeFortress> probably due to that I usually sign in from that device
10:17 < TradeFortress> BCB: http://pastebin.com/MhKTa5zN
10:19 < TradeFortress> BCB: show original > I see this.
10:19 < TradeFortress> bitcoind was dedi, I own the metal to it.
10:19 < TradeFortress> web was xen
10:20 < TradeFortress> BCB: tell me how.
10:20 < TradeFortress> just like the apisnetworks?
10:20 < TradeFortress> I'm accessing it the same way
10:20 < TradeFortress> 'Show Original'
10:21 < TradeFortress> BCB: I copied the entirety
10:21 < TradeFortress> understatement :p
10:23 < TradeFortress> https://i.imgur.com/H0NEeI7.png
10:24 < TradeFortress> for the linode
10:25 < TradeFortress> balances were signed because it's POSSIBLE that someone would have a negative balance on inputs
10:25 < TradeFortress> but in normal operation it hsouldn't
10:25 < TradeFortress> btcfaucet, that won't work because the mini does some sanity checking, such as SUM(balance)
10:26 < TradeFortress> stqism: no
10:26 < TradeFortress> whitelisted
10:28 < TradeFortress> BCB: they are.
10:28 < TradeFortress> you asked for the second email
10:28 < TradeFortress> I sent you the original (as exposed by mail.google.com) and pastebinned & screenshotted it.
10:29 < TradeFortress> stqism: I thought tcp packets with a faked source won't be accepted.
10:30 < TradeFortress> BCB: haven't I already told this twice
10:30 < TradeFortress> the email, on the top, was the attacker's 2nd reset
10:30 < TradeFortress> then I was unable to login, so I had to reset it again
10:30 < TradeFortress> you asked for the SECOND
10:30 < TradeFortress> so I sent you the SECOND
10:30 < TradeFortress> ie the one at the bottom
10:31 < TradeFortress> you want the one on the top? ask for the FIRST then.
10:31 < TradeFortress> go look at the screenshots
10:31 < TradeFortress> BCB: of?
10:31 < TradeFortress> have you looked at the screenshot
10:31 < TradeFortress> look at the SECOND email because you asked for the 2nd's original.
10:32 < TradeFortress> check the scrollback
10:32 < TradeFortress> it's this, https://i.imgur.com/sQnXsx0.png, correct?
10:35 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: not after this.
10:35 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: to?
10:36 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: I exercise my right to reject it.
10:36 < TradeFortress> BCB: then why don't you ask.
10:38 < TradeFortress> https://i.imgur.com/pCtanaU.png
10:38 < TradeFortress> ever realize I might be screenshotting and uploading?
10:38 < TradeFortress> coingenuity, yep
10:39 < TradeFortress> BigBitz|wrk: gmail uses local time zones
10:39 < TradeFortress> BCB: did I? that's the full email.
10:41 < TradeFortress> kk, I've spent 1.5 hours or so here now.
10:42 < TradeFortress> I have another hundred emails to handle for Inputs.io
10:42 < TradeFortress> email me at admin@glados.cc if you want to contact me, I'll try and pop in tomorrow.
10:43 < TradeFortress> what is wrong with you BCB
10:43 < TradeFortress> do you need glasses
10:43 < TradeFortress> they are different emails
10:44 < TradeFortress> BCB: post them, show where it was the same timestamp
10:48 < TradeFortress> BCB: nothing useful on apisnetworks
10:48 < TradeFortress> most you could do is change the index.html on http://glados.cc/!

That could have been someone completely different just using that as their username there. It's not though. It is TradeFortress as the same user made an earlier post here (https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=306734&q=commentby%3Aadmin%40glados.cc&colspec=ID%20Pri%20M%20Week%20ReleaseBlock%20Cr%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20OS%20Modified):

and a new identity because no one would even touch the project if his old account was linked to it.  So now deceit can be added to his list of faults (assuming he has something to do with hashie).

Yeah, probably scammed people from inputs.io and other places. Then just funnels the money off and funds projects with your money. Hashie created social media accounts then was like I haz miners.

Could someone explain the evidence linking TF and hashie? I have seen multiple allegations here however from what I can tell the only evidence provided to back this up is a IRC log from around the time that inputs/CL failed/was hacked

VULNERABILITY DETAILS
Opened windows (through normal hrefs with target="_blank") can modify window.opener.location and replace the parent webpage with something else, even on a different origin (bypassing same origin policy).

While this doesn't allow script execution, it does allow phishing attacks that silently replace the parent tab (which a user already mentally trusts).

window.opener.location should not be modifiable if on a different origin.

various forum members have stated that TradeFortress doesn't seem to be the same post inputs.io hack and that very well maybe true given the context. However, you would think that if his website was breached and everything was tied to it. wouldn't someone from the community make a statement and say not to do business. Instead all you get is hey I have new website invest money in me and then something happened I lost your money.

It's kind of hard to paint a picture, this is more like looking for signs of arson after a huge fire has been set. The scam sites he ran have different names but all say sydney australia. The common theme is that all the sites use the same email, they all run fine for a while then payments stop. hashie said something like I'll give you a hint and posted a picture of team fortress, then dropped the email that leads to trade fortress. hashie and $username seem to have the same typing pattern when posting. for example
Inputs had been penetration tested regularly, and on security-critical projects I regularly spend upwards of $5000 on a thorough pentest by professional security forums firms.
made a typo.

This is the sticking point with me. TF was smart enough to know that you can't fully secure anything, and even if you make it so hard it isn't worth it, there's always social engineering. Leaving that much sitting around was foolish, and I don't think he's a fool. Maybe I'm giving him too much credit, I don't know.
Yeah, I don't have any explanation other than (i) lazyness (the system wasn't set up to make sending to cold storage easy, and it had to be performed manually), (ii) wanting to keep sufficient amounts on the server so nobody worries/panics, and (iii) about 1500 BTC was deposited within 48 hrs of the hack.

The later systems I've built do make sending to cold storage easier, but for the most recent site it was still an manual process. I intend on doing automatic cold storage transfers (hourly cronjob) for my future projects.

Good luck with your studies! :) When you come back, please try to be more level headed instead of throwing little tantrums.

All the best.

hashie vs TF
How could I have missed this thread? Thanks so much Quickseller (and everyone else of course). I will do whatever I can and if you guys ever need anything, just send me a PM. ;)
Enjoy your mod coins :)

no matter what username you use, certain typing traits will still show.

 the admin email is also tied with a website called die2nite. he post something on google about it here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/mt_die2night/zwnstqaV7L0/1yzH4QcxCVIJ and he posted on the die2nite website here http://www.die2nite.com/tid/forum#!view/4|thread/1329041

My email ends with "glados.cc" and twinoid suggests me to change it to "glados.cl".

.cc is a valid domain name and I think it's more commonly used compared to .cl.

although he probably isn't still active in it

What things look like is that tf registers sites using fake names, then tries to change it later on. example, hashie is registered to queen elsa now. the Best explanation would be from tf as i'm pretty sure others have done research from his various scams and could elaborate more while we wait for tf to come back from vacation.

im sure tf would of been smart enough to use tor or a vpn at all times even before the hack so the ips wouldn't help in this case but badbear might see similarities as he can see more than we do.

Tor would be nice, the way the fbi has been crawling around it and with the exit node control. let him use something that's a potential honeypot. we can only hope that his ip leaked out, a temporary disconnect from vpn. I didn't really lose anything from any of this, I find tracking this bastard down better than that arg. I heard Australia is possibly banning encryption, while that does suck. it could become http://www.labspaces.net/pictures/blog/4e5466b7dc69f1314154167_blog.jpg if he doesn't cash out by then.

I don't think Oz is trying to ban encryption, I heard that some restrictions placed on research and development in Oz may affect crypto development, but I don't think thats what the guy was referring to. However the UK is trying to ban encryption:
http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/13/uk-ban-secure-communications/


How would they do it? the same way Iran and others done it, or I should say failed to do it. Iran has a great firewall of China type suppression system that can fingerprint most types of encrypted traffic such as VPN etc, and for SSL they force all citizens to install their CA in their browser and serve up their own SSL certs for every SSL website. If the UK actually goes ahead and does this, we'll probably see more encryption systems integrating steganography, which makes the encrypted traffic look like unencrypted traffic. When that happens then only the bad guys who are willing to break the law will have access to computer security, the people they wanted to conduct surveillance on in the first place, and I don't think it'll be long before the government changes their mind about banning encryption.

That's not quite what I had in mind, more like I get 10.68 btc worth of services credit, since that is the amount I had on the site and was lost (aka I am entitled to the full amount), and we use an exchange rate that is not today's (since you have been essentially holding the coins for quite a while and the exchange rate has fluctuated quite a bit), I was thinking closer to 400 or 500 dollars per coin.

In exchange, I will consider your debt to me completely absolved and will no longer pursue legal or any other actions against said debt.  I will not charge additional interest or penalties on the time the coins will held.  If the site is finished prior to my amount running out, the full amount will be considered repaid.  I will have some buddies review all code of the website, and anything they deem to be "funny business' will make our contract null and void and I will still be owed the full amount, regardless of how much work was performed.

I honestly think you are pushing your luck here. It is my understanding that TF's identity is not publicly known so you will probably have a hard time pursuing legal action against him. It is also my understanding that he doesn't have massive amounts of excess money so even if you were to get a judgment against him (after finding his identity) you would be unlikely be able to recover the entire amount (I think 50% would probably be pushing the max that you would expect to be able to recover). If your debt was denominated in terms of bitcoin then the exchange rate does not matter. Additionally the fact that you were foolish enough to invest your bitcoin in a third party service like CL shows that you are probably foolish enough to have invested your bitcoin in some other "investment" that would have resulted in a similar loss (or would have tried selling via Gox and similarly lost everything)

I dunno man. I don't think you are in a position to bargain here, you are lucky he's offering anything at all. Plenty of people have tried to come to compromises with him, this is the first time I've seen him even toy with the idea of doing that, usually his response is basically "lolno".

no, he has always said he will do programming as compensation, and I would hardly call this bargaining.  He stole/lost/whatever you want to call it 10.68 bitcoin from me, why on earth would I let that debt go for half of what he lost.  Imagine if anyone said you loaned me $1000, I lost it in the stock market, but I will do $500 in services for you, I suppose if you don't believe there is any other recourse that could be an option, but usually things like this eventually catch up to people, and then I, as I assume many, will be waiting.

That being said, TF, if your willing to trade my debt for 22 hours of programming time.  So (10 btc X $220)/$100 per hour (less than what you owe me and lower than the exchange rate) or finish my website, whichever comes first, I would consider my debt squared.  I have an idea, and I would like to get an idea of what it would take to program before finishing up on an agreement.

How many hours of programming would the 10.68 btc you owe me get me?
If you want hourly billing, I bill at US$100 / hr. I'll happily exchange 10.68 BTC of CoinLenders debt for 5.34 BTC of services credit.

That's not quite what I had in mind, more like I get 10.68 btc worth of services credit, since that is the amount I had on the site and was lost (aka I am entitled to the full amount), and we use an exchange rate that is not today's (since you have been essentially holding the coins for quite a while and the exchange rate has fluctuated quite a bit), I was thinking closer to 400 or 500 dollars per coin.

In exchange, I will consider your debt to me completely absolved and will no longer pursue legal or any other actions against said debt.  I will not charge additional interest or penalties on the time the coins will held.  If the site is finished prior to my amount running out, the full amount will be considered repaid.  I will have some buddies review all code of the website, and anything they deem to be "funny business' will make our contract null and void and I will still be owed the full amount, regardless of how much work was performed.

He is now well over a year "late" in allowing you to withdraw your money. Generally speaking debt will trade/sell for pennies on the dollar when it becomes 180 days late, and sells at significant discounts when it is 90 days late. He is offering you 50 cents on the dollar (or 25 cents on the dollar if you want it denominated in dollars - which is really not realistic).

TL;DR: he made a bot that copied stuff from wikipedia or something to collect the free BTC, and defrauded coins.

here's an email exchange where he wastes my time.

Hi admin,

In #spacechat, I was trying to test out a bot.  What was the problem?

In any case, I enjoyed the site a lot and had a lot of fun chatting with others and playing with moobot.  If you don't want me around anymore, that's ok, I'll get over it.

I guess I might remind you that I asked several times about whether there were any rules I should know about.  You never got back to me on that.  Seems like I've broken some rule or made you angry in some way.

Still not sure what went wrong.

Best,

Sounds good.  I think here's where I'm confused:

a) I don't know what the rules are
b) You are suggesting that I owe you something

If you can address (a) then I could be sure not to break these rules again.  Without knowing what the rules are it's hard to know that I'm not breaking them.  Without (b) it's hard to know what you think I owe you or how you came to that conclusion.

Can you be more specific about (a) and (b)?

a) Bots must be run from a specially designated bot account that does not earn tips.

b) Common sense tells you that the mBTC you've obtained from the bot is fraudulent, and it may also have infringed the copyright of whatever site you copied it from, as you were using it for a commercial purpose.

I'm not interested in wasting my time with BSing with you. You know exactly what you did wrong, and if you play dumb it's the last time I'll be talking to you.

That sounds fair, it's the first I've heard of it.  Is this the only rule?  Is it posted somewhere?  Is there a list of rules I can read and know about so that if we were to resolve our differences (sounding less likely given your tone) that I could be sure not to make you angry again.


    b) Common sense tells you that the mBTC you've obtained from the bot is

I think that "fraud" is defined by juridical/legislative/governmental process, not "common sense".  Seems like you want to accuse me of something, but you won't go ahead and say what it is that you want to say.  Not sure why you're being evasive.

    and it may also have infringed the copyright of whatever site
    you copied it from, as you were using it for a commercial purpose.


I haven't copied anything.  I'm not sure what you mean here.  Several times you and I had conversations about your API and I told you that I was working on a bot.  I'm a relatively good programmer, and I enjoyed learning about node.js and experimenting with robots on your site. Given that I discussed what I was doing with you several times, I'm not sure why you're trying to accuse me of copying or "commercial purposes".  What sort of commerce to you suppose I'm involved in?  I'm not sure where you're going with this.

For all your crytic allegations here, you still haven't talked about how much you think I owe you or how you arrived at that number.  From what I can tell, your site gives out BTC for chatting.  I got some of that BTC and now you want it back.  Please let me know what I'm missing.


    *I'm not interested in wasting my time with BSing with you. You know
    exactly what you did wrong, and if you play dumb it's the last time I'll be
    talking to you.*


Also not interested in wasting time.  Seems like you got angry about something and you don't want to discuss it plainly.  If you change your mind, I'm all ears.  I really did enjoy your site and the community there.

The site gives you free mBTC for *chatting*, not for bots.

See here for a list of the rules http://glados.cc/coinchat.html

You've withdrawn 213 mBTC (0.213 BTC) after your first withdraw, and that is the amount you need to send back if you would like to be unbanned from coinchat.

Well, I don't believe that's correct, a very small percentage of my chatting was autogenerated and none of it was done with bad intentions.
Secondarily, I only started experimenting with autogenerated chatting over the last week, and I think I've been a member for over a month.

Oh well, it seems my love affair with coinchat was brief and passionate.

Best of luck in your endeavors.  If you ever change your mind...

Also, nice style on that page.  I really like the notepad.

Emailing with you is a little like chatting with a bot.  How do I know this exchange isn't automated.  :)

Cheers!

You had posted negative trust on tspacepilot that he defrauded coinchat. Do you have any evidence of him doing so? If so can you post such evidence?

TL;DR: he made a bot that copied stuff from wikipedia or something to collect the free BTC, and defrauded coins.

here's an email exchange where he wastes my time.

Hi admin,

I seem to have been banned from coinchat.  What a shame, I was having such a lovely time.  Can I ask what happened?

Hi admin,

In #spacechat, I was trying to test out a bot.  What was the problem?

In any case, I enjoyed the site a lot and had a lot of fun chatting with others and playing with moobot.  If you don't want me around anymore, that's ok, I'll get over it.

I guess I might remind you that I asked several times about whether there were any rules I should know about.  You never got back to me on that.  Seems like I've broken some rule or made you angry in some way.

Still not sure what went wrong.

Best,

I know you know what the problem is, I'm not interested in BSing, but if you want to come back you'll need to return all the BTC you've withdrawn since you started running the bot.

Sounds good.  I think here's where I'm confused:

a) I don't know what the rules are
b) You are suggesting that I owe you something

If you can address (a) then I could be sure not to break these rules again.  Without knowing what the rules are it's hard to know that I'm not breaking them.  Without (b) it's hard to know what you think I owe you or how you came to that conclusion.

Can you be more specific about (a) and (b)?

Best,
Tspace

a) Bots must be run from a specially designated bot account that does not earn tips.

b) Common sense tells you that the mBTC you've obtained from the bot is fraudulent, and it may also have infringed the copyright of whatever site you copied it from, as you were using it for a commercial purpose.

I'm not interested in wasting my time with BSing with you. You know exactly what you did wrong, and if you play dumb it's the last time I'll be talking to you.

That sounds fair, it's the first I've heard of it.  Is this the only rule?  Is it posted somewhere?  Is there a list of rules I can read and know about so that if we were to resolve our differences (sounding less likely given your tone) that I could be sure not to make you angry again.

I think that "fraud" is defined by juridical/legislative/governmental process, not "common sense".  Seems like you want to accuse me of something, but you won't go ahead and say what it is that you want to say.  Not sure why you're being evasive.

    and it may also have infringed the copyright of whatever site
    you copied it from, as you were using it for a commercial purpose.


I haven't copied anything.  I'm not sure what you mean here.  Several times you and I had conversations about your API and I told you that I was working on a bot.  I'm a relatively good programmer, and I enjoyed learning about node.js and experimenting with robots on your site. Given that I discussed what I was doing with you several times, I'm not sure why you're trying to accuse me of copying or "commercial purposes".  What sort of commerce to you suppose I'm involved in?  I'm not sure where you're going with this.

For all your crytic allegations here, you still haven't talked about how much you think I owe you or how you arrived at that number.  From what I can tell, your site gives out BTC for chatting.  I got some of that BTC and now you want it back.  Please let me know what I'm missing.


    *I'm not interested in wasting my time with BSing with you. You know
    exactly what you did wrong, and if you play dumb it's the last time I'll be

Also not interested in wasting time.  Seems like you got angry about something and you don't want to discuss it plainly.  If you change your mind, I'm all ears.  I really did enjoy your site and the community there.

Best,

The site gives you free mBTC for *chatting*, not for bots.

See here for a list of the rules http://glados.cc/coinchat.html

You've withdrawn 213 mBTC (0.213 BTC) after your first withdraw, and that is the amount you need to send back if you would like to be unbanned from coinchat.

Well, I don't believe that's correct, a very small percentage of my chatting was autogenerated and none of it was done with bad intentions.
Secondarily, I only started experimenting with autogenerated chatting over the last week, and I think I've been a member for over a month.

Oh well, it seems my love affair with coinchat was brief and passionate.

Best of luck in your endeavors.  If you ever change your mind...

I reviewed the rules.  It certainly would have been helpful to have seen this *before* you banned me.

Also, nice style on that page.  I really like the notepad.

I'd look forward to coming back if you ever want to unban me.

Thanks for the info. However his arrogance in the situation allowed me to find a thread where he essentially admitted to scamming you/coinchat. He still denies the allegations and is trying to weasel his way out of being held responsibility however he is now labeled a scammer.

Lol, it's the daily Quickseller/ACCTseller masterbation post!  "his arrogance allowed me to find", I think you mean that I pointed you to the thread where all of this stuff was already made public.  The fun thing that just got revealed above is that you can see how TF asks me to "return" .2 BTC but then later he changes that to .5BTC.  Everything else above is already in that thread I pointed you to.

I also love how QS/ACCTseller believes that his godlike pronouncement of trolling my feedback and echoing what TF said years ago somehow makes me "now labelled as a scammer".  Cute!

TF,
IIRC, I was the largest BTCINVESTer. *After* the alleged hacks, you liquidated BTCINVEST and into coinlenders so that we could withdraw what remained of our investment with you. As you know, we were never able to withdraw from CL, even though there were no further hacks.

Now that you have some money and are doing some shopping (https://blockchain.info/address/1GLadosEkeAsLReqS3yQ51E1R3wVtbJCDF), are you going to return some of our money?

Well, I know from my discussions with real Blazr that TF was able to get so many people to trust him with so much money in inputs because he would advertise at sites that newer users are likely to visit, which appears to be the case in this situation as I was not even able to find an OP/ANN thread for hashocean on bitcointalk.

Hashocean is/was also was a cloud mining site, similar to hashie, and a scammer cloud mining operator would need to invest zero money in his scam as he can simply send back a small portion of what he received from his customers each week/money/whenever in order to make him appear legitimate.

There are a couple of other subtile things as well that could point to TF being behind Hashocean.

On the other hand, TF did give a somewhat reasonable explanation as to why he did what he did with hashie -- he somewhat implied that he closed down hashie (via running away with all hashie's customers' funds) on the day that AMHASH's mining equipment was no longer available to the shareholders of AMHASH (and payouts from AMHASH were instead being funded from BTC on hand, including BTC from AMHASH sales), closed hashie because of this, and kept his commissions from AMHASH. I believe that AMHASH made good on the cloud mining that was sold by hashie that was designed to be AMHASH cloud mining. I believe that hashie also sold it's own cloud mining contracts that were not honored and I assume that btc on deposit at hashie was not refunded, so there was actual money stolen as a result of hashie.

Discussions with real blazr also reveal that TF was not planning on opening a new bitcoin related business (eventual scam) and is more interested in etherum. However this was something that was simply told to real blazr and not something that he (nor I) would vouch for. This would also contradict the above circumstantial evidence
