It would probably be a better idea to get a signed message from the OP confirming ownership of the account and documenting the terms of the loan. This will prevent any future claims that his account was hacked or that the terms of the loan were not agreed to.

Anyone considering to lend (or otherwise do business with) to the OP should search the lending section for any open loans if they are going to sufficiently protect themselves so having the personal text say there is an open loan is a moot point IMO

If you wish to keep this account, then you can simply remain active on the forums for 30 days, avoid additional scamming behavior and ask nicely after 30 days and I will remove it.

If you simply abandon the account for nearly 30 days and then ask then I will most likely not remove it.

It is my understanding that adsense will not actually payout for faucet-like sites. From what I have been told your account will show as earning a certain amount of money, however they won't actually pay you because the traffic quality is so poor.

It really is a moot point now because James Volpe can no longer edit, or delete any of his posts (nor can he delete any posts in self moderated threads) and theymos is going to restore all the posts that he deleted.

I also noticed that, strangely Spodermen is showing as a newbie when I know for a fact that it was at least a full member, if not a senior member previously.

I think I have found a pretty major bug in your site. While playing around on your site it looks like, when playing with faucet funds, that the amount your account will be credited is off by a factor of one when you win. For example when playing 2x, a win will simply have your account balance remain the same. A win on a 4x bet will have your balance increase by only 3x of your bet.

For a 4x bet only returning 3x, please see betID 43682 - I bet 2 sats, rolled a 6.5 with a under 24.75 to win and was only credited 6 sats.

For a 2x bet allowing your balance to only remain the same, please see betID 43674 - I bet 1 sat, rolled a 11.32 with a under 49.5 to win and my balance stayed the same.

The above obviously increases your house edge to significantly above 1%.

I also have the above concern that it is not possible to chance the client seed, which makes your site provably unfair

This is not my auction so I can't say that will work for him or not however at the very minimum I think you should send him a PM to try to work something out.

this is just a suggestion however I would suggest contacting Mitchell to give him a deposit of some percentage of your max bid amount that would be forfeited to silver wallets in the event that you don't honor your bid.  

If you took his loan as collateral for that much then you would be able to sell it when he defaults. Just because he can no longer sell it for a higher amount until he repays the loan doesn't mean he still can't get paid from signature deals (like bitmixer) to earn something from his account.

You really should not lend to anyone without collateral unless they have massive amounts of positive trust and should ignore previous loans by most lenders because a lot of the time they are probably just lending to themselves.

You should defiantly not send first to this person. If you are going to consider trading with him then you should use escrow.

I mean that just sending money like that without the borrower first acknowledging that they are going to repay a specific person means that there could be confusion regarding who to repay and what the terms are. This is especially true considering that you can't always tell for sure what address send a particular tx.

congrats on your win

This is an example as to why you shouldn't just send funds like this when someone is asking for a loan. The two or three minutes it takes to wait for someone to confirm you are giving the loan is going to save a lot of potential headaches.

I would suggest starting a sig deal. Such deals are not unheard of (although are rare) for alt coins.

lol what?

Because no one who I have left negative trust has ever lied to me to try to get it removed. I hope you don't think I am naive enough to believe him

I found 5 of his accounts (2 of which are being held in escrow) plus one additional one that will potentially revert back to him if the borrower defaults on a loan he gave. She has the obvious incentive to lie about being an alt of puzzel.me

Okay I believe you. I think you are telling the truth.

Even if others thought they were using the clearnet, it could still be a bad exit node as some VPNs use TOR to route their traffic. A few people got burned this way when they used a blockchain.info wallet with their VPN and a malicious exit node was stealing login credentials from blockchain.info wallets.

The fact that it went away after a short time (10 minutes?) makes me think it was TOR related.

the address posted by puzzel.me was posted roughly 14 months before you posted it and the post that account made back then is both quoted and is unedited.

You took out a loan yesterday. If you are able to repay that loan within 24 hours then I will further evaluate my rating for your accounts (or lack thereof). Feel free to post here if you end up doing this and have the lender post here when he receives the repayment.

Because you are puzzel.me

You both posted 1BtBqWDJ28o1pWYiqtX1oUcBKpU1d86XSC

you posted it in this thread. I am not even going to bother to post the bitcointalk post, the linked post is the archive so you can't change it. puzzle.me posted the same address here

I had blocked you from PM's because you kept spamming my inbox the last time you were exhibiting scammy behavior

edit: due to autocorrect, I actually said that you are an alt of puzzle.me, which the actual person you are an alt of is puzzel.me, however you spelled it correctly in the OP

It sounds like he is saying a bomb will explode when I start my ignition to me
