Bitcoin Forum

This (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=25340) account appears to have created a custom name with a single space (e.g. ' '), effectively making it near impossible to find his profile (most people probably will not be able to).

When you look at one of his posts there is no clickable link to his profile and it appears that there is no name attached to the profile.

My question is, should it be a requirement for all displayed usernames to have at least one, letter, number of symbol?

This person does not appear to do any business on the forum, so I don't think the scam risk is very big. However that cannot be said for every other VIP account holder.

lawl, I am psychic. I predicted that u would make this thread. :D

haha. I just think your displayed username is just a little bit too anonymous

Looks like a hacked account as well.

Yeah, looks probable. Last post was September 25, 2012 before today.

He got an email saying to change his password. I am sure a lot of people will become active again after long periods of inactivity.

He was a member of the German community before and not very fluent in English:


A suggestion for Mr. Anonymous:
Please tell me in plain German why the word "Neuland" makes Germans smile. Just to prove that you're real  :)

If you can't, you'll have a negative trust rating by me before the end of the day.

Yes when i looks his post about theymos i was surprised that I cannot click his name ( no username :P )

Hmm, having a look at the post history, the majority of it was in the German boards, but when the forum came back online, I noticed a sudden change on the posts of this user: it appears that his English is not bad at all. Also, the account became active again since its last post in 2012, and looking through the history of this forum, there are several compromises on the forum's security causing to have some down time. Could the account be compromised too? I don't know.

Quickseller , do you know you there exist this button to see profile link of people?
I thing there shouldn't be any such limit for VIP Members.

He could be the hacker.

@koelen3 There is an icon under his avatar click it.

I did not lol. I have always clicked on the username above the forum rank.

The changed username still makes it difficult to search for his posts within a certain thread or a certain sub.

I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot of hacked accounts in the near future (abandoned but high ranked accounts for example). Stay alert guys!

I also just looked into his earlier posts.
Seems like he was a German Scammer already, but didn't receive a SCAMMER tag and also no negative ratings (probably the trust system wasn't active at the time).
He was associated with the site http://mybitcointrade.com/ which is defunct now and may have been re-registered by someone else in between. That would make it likely that his account was simply hijacked by the new owner of the domain (he'll receive his emails now as well).

I guess it's conclusive: hacked account of a former scammer.
Negative trust incoming.

qwk, I have suggestion which may save ur live one day: mine your own business. this is not hacked account and you should have proof before you make accuses like this. you can leave negative if you want, it just shows everyone u leave bad trusts and ruin peoples lifes.

Mine ALL the business!

If he is the real owner of this account then he can proce this with signed message, right?

Yeah i know that :)

Am surprised to hear that

Is this a trick answer ?
Do you mean Mind your own Business ?
you edited your post to write all this stuff , i got a strong feeling about this being a hacked Account!
Can you like sign any old BTC address?

hmm such sad. I think that section Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Marketplace > Goods > Digital goods (where acc deals actually happens) should be somehow closely monitored..

It defiantly did not have it's password reset via email in the last 30 days. If you search the security log (http://bitcointalk.org/seclog) for "-  " (a dash followed by two spaces) then you will only find one entry of the password being changed (that requires the knowledge of the previous password).

This account is either a hacked account (by the person who hacked the forum) or is actually the person who ran the referenced scam. His dox was even posted here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=115572.0)

That is possible but I would find that unlikely personally.

OF course, most likely scenario is non-hacked account, but that is niet fun. no paranoid schitzophrenic would believe that, hence nobody here.

I already suggested a simple means to prove that you still are the same, German talking, guy from years ago.
U no speak German -> U hacked ;D

edit: BTW, you may write German in your threat PMs to me, I'm a native speaker ;)

you mean you still want me to give you the answer to the neuland crap even though answer is in thread? vuile rot mof!

Why don't you answer straight up if this is really your account or if you actually hacked this account.

I am being honest.

this is my account.
yes I know i post different, people change. also duolingo helps.
i came back when i got an email telling me all of my fucking PM's were hacked, not weeks ago i got another saying my PM's were given to the government. you can imagine how one might react to this, in germany privacy is a big issue, if theymos live here in germany i would kick his ass for this shit.

FYI:

Why don't we just do this.... any accounts which randomly go full derp or appear hacked should have to sign an old address or be locked until a time they can do so.

Yep, it sucks that the forums were hacked. I haven't seen any evidence that puts Theymos at blame for the hack, it sucks, but it happens. There is no such thing as an uncompromisable site.

Having your PM's given to a court isn't the same as lovingly giving them over to the government. It means a court ordered information regarding a pending lawsuit. What was he supposed to do, blow them off? Would you go to jail to avoid giving someone's pm to a court with a legal order?

Encrypt your messages if you want Theymos to not have liability for what you post.

*edit* read here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1027518.0

You have signed a message from 1JLM7SC1PM6rr5gRX9rvVvCLo9o7DUh9Hn  in the past. Could you sign another message with that same address?

Your choices are limited. Live with this accusations, and this account is worthless and say fuck it. Come forward just say that you hacked your way in and this account is worthless, too. Proof that you are the owner of this account and try and get fucked by the victims for your exchange scam. I know some people who would like to have a really nice chat with you (besides Law Enforcement).

Either way stop whining.

Quickseller is the scammer. Don't be fooled.

His unabashed business of selling hacked and stolen accounts is booming bigger than ever right now.

Have you no sense of decency, sir? Have you no shame at all?

Yes, I am sure he was originally smart1985, who later changed his name to mybitcointrade.com. I remember some of his posts from 2011/2012.

Wasn't he also the guy who sent bulanula 25 BTC instead of 2.5 BTC?

That's correct. He was orignally "smart1985", then changed his name to "Smart-Mybitcointrade.com" I believe. He was called just "mybitcointrade.com" at some point.

She doesn't sell hacked or stolen accounts.

Says the guy with the _worst_ trade rep in the history of the forum....!! I don't even trust your gender misdirection. You sir are the biggest liar around! You make Quickseller look like Abraham Lincoln.

Actually I'm quite sure Quickseller _does_ sell stolen and hacked account now that you've given him/her your ringing "endorsement."
