Has the *real* owner of this account received payment that is due to them from the sale of the account?

So what does Bitcointalk do? Makes a centralized trust network and enforces it by default for anyone signing up through the DefaultTrust network.
"enforces", yeah theymos pointed me with a gun to accept DefaultTrust. Oh wait, I don't trust DefaultTrust… Please do a favour to yourself (and others) and replace the time spent posting nonsense with time spent setting up your trust network. Personally, I think that it is probably not a bad idea to have DefaultTurst in your trust list as it is a good starting point as to whose ratings you should trust. As you spend time in the various marketplace sections (as well as other parts of the forum), you will be able to determine who is reputable enough to have in your trust list, and add them to your trust list (even if they are already in your trust network), and will see who is leaving trust ratings that you do not believe in (and are in your trust network), and exclude them from your trust list. Over time, you will have a trust list with a lot of exclusions and a good number of people in your trust list. If you have been around long enough then you should be able to develop a trust network that results in fairly accurate trust scores. And that's fine... you should be able to add that if you want to. What you should not have is a default setting to have it on when, as a newb, you probably don't even know it exists or how to change it. What you do know, though, is you see red and green shit on the left and assume that the forum itself has determined that that person is trustworthy or not... a newb is typically not going to know that those pretty colors are a result of arbitrary bullshit posted by a select few elite on the forum and is used as a weapon to criticize those that disagree. If you have it off by default, then anyone who adds it is far more likely to understand what they are adding than those that don't understand the system at all, when on by default. The new users of the forum do need to know who has traded honestly over time in the past. It is not possible for a new user to take appropriate precautions to protect themselves from getting scammed, nor do they have any reliable way to determine who can be trusted enough to rely on their trust ratings without some kind of centralized system/network. If you are going to argue that who people should trust should be determined in a decentralized way then I would say scammers would manipulate this and exclude who is trustworthy and include fellow scammers. There are a large number of scammers who have excluded me from their trust network while they have added their alts and fellow scammers to their trust network. The fact that scammers outweigh honest people (especially when it comes to the number of accounts) means that any voting system will result in scammers appearing as trustworthy and honest people appearing as scammers. With a pretty small number of exceptions, anyone with dark green trust next to their name is probably safe to trust a fairly large amount of money with. This is especially true if someone who is new here were to perform a small to moderate amount of due diligence regarding who they are trusting with their money. |

Bumping this thread. My current signature contract expires in ~2 days, at which point I will be willing to take additional offers regarding renting my signature.
Will they not be updating your contact then no? Be silly to let you go in my opinion, why not go back to Dadice they are the best paying with LP and the bonus you will achieve each week as you know. The 100 post restriction is not great for posters like yourself but the bonuses add up to it not really mattering? I will more likely then not receive an offer from my current signature campaign for me to remain with them, however I wish to maximize my earnings potential and listen to bids from as high of a number of people as possible. Do you have a FLAT RATE in mind per week / per month ? I made 1.2 BTC last month after making 800 posts. That should be a general starting point when making any potential offers, although I would potentially consider/accept less amounts if a significant less posting requirement is provided. |

Is there any update as to when I should expect the remainder of my payment? Per my calculations the bot owes me .2213 BTC from last month. When you get a chance I would also like to discuss the terms of next month's contract if possible - I pinged you on Skype but did not get any kind of reply

What conclusions do you think can be made with either the above results or with results with your software?

Why exactly were you willing to send him so much money without using escrow? Everyone else he dealt with involved escrow being used.
Even if someone trades honestly for a few short months, chances are that if you sent them a large amount at once without escrow that they are going to end up running away with your money

Starting bid seems way to big. It should have been like .1  I expected a couple of posts like this but yeah, I do think that I can get a the very least 0.4BTC. It is coin 6 out of 10000 coins. I do think that's pretty cool, even if others don't. And it has a great grade for a brass. I have also sold multiple ungraded random number brass tenths for 0.35BTC. Heck, I'd pay 0.4 for it, I just didn't get a chance to see this in time. Well he didn't get any bids so in theory he would be willing to sell it to you for .4 BTC if you ask nicely  |

Did candy just loose 4.3 BTC LOL? While the chances of getting 11 loose in a row when there is a 50% chance of winning is very low, roughly 0.048% after exactly 11 rolls, if you are to make a lot of rolls, then the chances of you having a 11 loosing streak increases. For example after 1,100 rolls you should expect there to be more then a 50% chance of that happening at least one time. |

He is in DeaDTerra's trust list. That would be the best person to contact to get him removed the quickest.
You are right though. He should not have the authority/power of being in default trust network if an active scam accusation has been open for as long as it has been open (especially considering the relevant facts have been admitted by him).
Additionally the fact that his reputation is essentially shot to hell, there is the possibility that he will try to start selling trust which is not something that would be good for the community as a whole.

It is very pretty.

No. You were asked to pay a fee because you signed up via an IP address (or more likely a subnet) that was previously associated with spam. The fee is only calculated when you register and not when you post/login. Paying the fee will not stop you from getting banned in the event that you break the rules.

Loan Amount: 0.005
Reason: build up my trust rating
BTC Address: 1BshoWmGeJRLFt1Fz8DS9QKhyQSWades53
Term Lenght: 3 days
Interest: 0.006
Building/farming/buying trust is frowned on around here. If you try to do that then you will probably achieve the opposite result. |

I have nothing to hide, it's just that I don't want users "stalking" me when it's not needed. I don't like knowing that there is a chance of people following me around when I do something. It's just my personal preference, although you can see my posts, I feel a little bit more safer? I like my privacy. If you know what I mean. I'm horrible at explaining.
I do understand what you are saying, but i fail to see logic behind it, and at this point ill stop even trying, because it makes zero sense, to me atleast. cheers I think he means a tool to block someone and make that someone not be able to see his posts never again?? I dont know how that would work and it would be kind of stupid but i think thats what he means No. Basically I don't people having easy access to being able to watch over me. I don't think that would be a good idea. Someone could easily get around this by simply using an alt account to receive tracking notifications. You don't even need to be logged in to see posts. I think scammers would likely use this feature to avoid people noticing that they are attempting to scam (the same could be said about spammers) |

As mentioned above, it is probably a sold account. Or it could have been used as collateral for a loan and the lender deleted the posts after the borrower defaulted.

Agreed.
If ownership is proven by signing a message with an address posted more than 6 months back (in an unedited post), I will do this loan.
Be careful while lending. I asked him to prove ownership from an old address, and he showed me one which was edited today 2 minutes before the PM I received. He can't sign from that address regardless. If you look at the OP from that thread you will see that it belongs to Rollin as the terms of that giveaway is that you post your Rollin deposit address. |

Hello, I'm Dare by name. I belong to the less privileged which make it hard for me to Carter for my living, school fee, school expenses etc. In the month of January, I leaned about bitcoin will prompted to try my luck in it but it is not easy for me because I have to go to cyber cafe before I can earn any bitcoin. I sometime make use of my phone (blackberry 9800) to earn satoshi from faucet websites and PTC paying in bitcoin but some of these are not friendly on my phone, so it is really difficult. By March of this year, I met dmugetsu https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=408040 , he this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=967149.0 on this forum. I was catched with his anti-scam war this make me to think he will be one the good people who can help people like me. On 16 March, I wrote him a letter telling him my difficulty and if he can help me which he promised to do. My problem is that I want to pay my school fee which I have run up and down to get the money but I was unable to complete it. Since he has promised to help me, I used the money I have gathered before to buy bitcoin which worth 0.2BTC. His deal for me is that he will try to help me invest the 0.2BTC for one month that by then it will have turned to 1BTC and since 1BtC not enough for my school fee, I have it in mind that after the first I will talk to him if he can help me further. I sent the 0.2BTC to him on 20 of March and promised by April 18 he will delivered. Today is 15 May, I haven't seen this guy ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=408040) non the promised. When it remains 6 days to deliver he sent me message that the payment will be paid in 6 days time which I haven't seen till now. Hardly he even come online again. My education is at stake, please forum help me, people help me. Anyone who know "dmugetsu" to help me talk to him to release the only 0.2BTC. Also forum if you can help me , DONATION : 3NgVPoY9azMr8AGzpY9YynAADXgnVtEhwF . Thanks. See the above thread. His real name is James Volpe and he lives in Melbourne, Victoria Australia. He is a serial scammer and has stolen thousands of dollars worth of Bitcoin. I would suggest calling the police. |
