haha wow that is a lot of negative feedback. Well I guess we now know who was behind all those spam negatives that Vod got not long ago. None of them have any credibility though, especially considering that they all have negative trust

I don't think he was trying to boost his post count. I think he is regarded within the community as being someone that meaningfully contributes when he posts (I say this because carra23 is someone that tends to reject most people that apply to his campaigns and also, based on a number of reports, tends to actively ask people if they want to join based on criteria - I would assume that it is based on post quality), and as a result was actively asked to join a paid signature deal, which he agreed to (this is after a very long history of not wearing a paid signature). After he joined, his posting habits did not appear to change, and consisted of a lost of pictures poking fun of the subject at hand along with generally short posts.

I would say that based on the fact that he had a history of not wearing a paid signature, was actively asked to participate in the paid signature deal (assuming this can be substantiated), and the fact that he has made 58 out of the 60 required posts to receive payment in only 5 days (but has 30 days to finish) would mean that he would probably not fall under the category as a "signature spammer" and a 'paid sig + insubstantial posts' ban is probably not in order.

I don't think feedback left by either party has any real credibility so I don't think it matters that you got negative trust. I think it is pretty clear based on the screenshots in the OP that he was scammed though. I see a PM confirming that a whole bunch of keys were going to be purchased for ~$200, then a fewer number of keys were going to be sold for ~$110, escrow is agreed to but then for some reason they decide they can't wait the few hours that escrow would take so they decide that the OP would send 1/2 of the payment first, would receive the keys then send the second half of the payment FuckIdolPlus acknowledged receipt of the payment and in this thread admitted to sending only 4 working keys which is significantly less then the number of keys agreed to

I don't think Skype actually makes you confirm your email address so it is possible that the email was just randomly input when the Skype was created.

Do those Facebook accounts actually have an association with that email address? I understand that Facebook assigns the username based on the name of the person when they sign up so I think it would be unusual for someone to use a Skype handle that is the same of an essentially randomly assigned username by Facebook

The amount you are offing is barely enough to cover the tx fee to send you the loan. I am not sure why anyone would be willing to essentially lend you money for free

If you are selling the domain it might be a fair price, however you have actually posted in the lending section which is not designed for sales.

If you looked at the digital goods section and the auction section, you will see tons of threads of domain spammers/squatters trying to sell their worthless domains with no luck.

The domain appraiser sites generally are not able to give accurate valuations, at least this is what I understand

Why would the domain koder.tv ever have *any* kind of value to anyone? Unless you have built up brand recognition, there is zero reason that someone would ever visit that site without the use of advertising 

@roslinpl and izanagi, it is safe to either post or PM the BB code of your submissions and once bralex confirms that he has received them I will go ahead and release escrow to addresses of your choice

Hmmm, this is a hard one to guess. I think I am going to guess +2.51 to +2.75%. This works out to roughly what the 1,006 average block time works out to if it remains constant 

LOL I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw those two posts. If you do end up lending to them, I would make sure that any collateral is liquid, stable and 100% in control by either escrow or yourself prior to sending funds to either of these people

Even though the above post is signature spam it is good advice. Most/all cloud mining sites are going to end up being a scam sooner or later.

IMO the collateral should be sufficient especially if the lender is able to make one post every two weeks to increase activity

I don't see any min increment in the OP or anywhere before that post. I would personally accept that bid as it will hopefully encourage the other bidder to outbid him.

I think .025 is a big increase for a low priced item like a senior account. A more appropriate increase would be .01 but .005 should be fine.

If you won it then there is little reason to want to get rid of it efficiently so it would probably make sense for you to sell it for fiat and/or a coin dealer and then use that money to purchase Bitcoin via the currency exchange section - you may end up even getting more Bitcoin then if you sold it directly if you open a thread and can wait a day or two/three for a good deal.

The hassle would also be lower for you because you would not need to deal with shipping/packaging plus whoever you sell to will likely want to wait a good amount of time to either pay you or release escrow while they try to get the coin tested to make sure it is not any kind of fake.

I see that their domain was registered in 2006 so I may be wrong on the shilling but it is still very dangerous to buy from an unknown site.

I hope you understand that there is a good reason for paranoia on here because of the large number of scam attempts often times them being very elaborate.

It sounds like there is a good possibility that you are a shill for bitgold. I am going to speculate that you don't hope that anyone buys from you, but rather you are hoping that people see your thread and decide to buy from bitgold and receive either nothing or a fake.

Your method, in theory is a good way to determine how much accounts are worth, however  you also need to factor in the fact that certain level accounts are more rare then others. For example newbie and junior member accounts will take very little effort to create/build so there is more then an ample supply of them. Hero accounts on the other hand take years to build up so they will tend to sell for prices above what they can earn in ~1 month via a sig deal (although their values have fallen dramatically over the last several months).

Thank you. It was a pleasure working with you.

Locking thread

Well it would be an excuse that a hacker could make 6 months from now as to why they cannot sign a message from the address that the real owner of the account posted 6 months in the past.

If you ask if you are free to go, and they do not have probable cause to continue to detain you then they have to let you go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d7-0TDsxnw

It proves that they are able to sign a message from the address today. It prevents someone coming in 6 months and claiming they were a newbie and posted a mtgox address that they cannot sign from because the exchange controls the private keys, not them directly.
