It will not be effective against people who really want to hide themselves and know what they are doing. All someone would primarily need to do is use a properly configured instance of tor BB and they would appear exactly the same as anyone else using a properly configured instance of tor BB.

Same goes for IP. I thought this would be better than IP check.
No. If you use tor properly then you should appear exactly the same as every other user of tor
Notice how BTCist is not tagged by any admin despite the fact that he is an almost certain alt of Marcchernandez who has scammed hundreds (at least) of bitcoin over the past several months

Scams aren't moderated! I think it is hard to stop scammers using these 'checking' methods but we can atleast stop spammers who come with new accounts without any change in browser.
Alts of well known scammers are often tagged. Just look at CandyStripes, marcotheminer, puzzle.me, among others. If he can find them then BadBear will tag them.

If he was not dumb enough to reuse addresses as heavily as he does then the connection between the illicit gains and the bitcoin you are buying would not be there. If you use bitcoin properly then the connection between the illicit gains and the bitcoin you spend will go away

Paypal mycash (ect) cards will eventually go bad if their balance is not redeemed and cashed out in time, and whoever is cashing them out is taking on huge risks of being implicated in a number of potential crimes.

Bitcoin is not going to go bad and is fungible. If you ever give any less value to bitcoin because it can be traced back to a scammer (or can be traced back to....any other reason) then bitcoin is destined to fail

I get what you're saying but I still don't see the difference between knowingly buying and selling stolen BTC and buying and selling carded paypal mycash. Instead of mycash, let's say stolen electronics or something else that cannot be traced back?

IMO there is no difference but wanted to see what the rest of you think about it.
Stolen paypal mycash cards, stolen electronics and stolen most other things can pretty much always be traced back to you. For all of the above you either need to sell to someone else who must cash out within a certain amount of time before they lose their entire value (in the case of mycash cards), or generally need to physically meet someone (in the case of stolen electronics) - which would potentially trace the stolen goods back to you.

With the case of bitcoin on the other hand, it will not go bad, and you can easily hide your association with the address in question very cheaply - I would say that for ~$0.40 worth of bitcoin (max), for all intensive purposes you would not be able to trace the connection of the addresses my coins ended up to marc's address if I were to purchase 40 BTC of his.

The main reason why I would not do business with the OP is because it is pretty clear to me that the OP one and the same of  Marcchernandez and as a result he will likely make a solid attempt of scamming me, even with the use of escrow.

If however there was a more faint connection between the address the OP signed from and Marcchernandez (for example only one or two transactions - indicating only that they have at least done business with each other ) then you should still trade with extreme caution but the risk of a scam attempt against you is not as great and you should either have your trading partner send first or use a well experienced escrow agent.

I pmed you

Did you miss all the previous posts or are you just trying to drop your link?  Wink

Quick question: Is there are difference between the people who would buy his BTC knowing they been acquired by scamming and those who buy and resell carded gift cards like paypal mycash?  Cheesy Everyone seems to hate those reselling paypal mycash cards but how about the ones who buy BTC acquired by scamming? Of course they can claim they didn't know they were stolen but the same thing can be said about those who are reselling paypal mycash cards.

Da dice just paid out their first week of payments and they were way under budget (had budgeted ~8 btc but spent less then 2 btc). You can probably move them to active.
I read they cut payments to a number of their posters claiming that they don't pay for "one liners", although there was no such thing in the rules. If any of you are planning to join think twice, because they may randomly decide that your posts are too short or not constructive enough.
If you are referring to yahoo's posts from last week, then I had reviewed the last three pages of his posting history and they were mostly spam. I am not sure why he was not banned during the last week for insubstantial posts+paid signature

IMO campaign operators need to do more to actually fight spam

No, it's not about yahoo. I meant these people who complained in the thread today about not getting full payment. I agree that managers should be strict, but they also should make the rules clear.
Dadice's current rules give them free choice to decide whether your posts qualify for payment or not and as a result nobody knows if their posts will end up being paid for. At the same time this allows the manager to cheat posters by cutting their payment by a small number every month and blaming it on whatever (like not long enough or not constructive enough).
This member has similar concerns: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=973949.msg10730750#msg10730750
The post in question was not made in english so it would not have counted no matter how long it was. In the case of da dice, the campaign manager and the owner of the site are two different people so the incentive to keep costs in line are not there, all the campaign manager needs to worry about is that he does not go over budget which he accomplishes by not allowing more participants then if everyone made the max number of posts into the campaign. By not paying for spammy posts he will not attract spammers, leaving room for people who make higher quality posts, which will increase the overall effectiveness of the campaign

I honestly don't even think using escrow would be safe for the buyer on this one. The OP is likely going to say that he somehow the funds were not received or that whatever code was given to him did not work/was redeemed already ect.

I'd be perfectly happy to send CASH directly to the escrow provider.  That way the escrow provider can count it and make sure it's all there.  They can then forward that on to BTCist (I'll even provide the postage paid addressed envelope for forwarding it.  That way the escrow provider can know with 100% certainty that I have provided the agreed funds.


That would work, however they would need to be US based (a lot of them are not - but I think TC is), and the escrow provider would need to reveal their identity/address/PO box to the buyer, which is something that a lot of escrow providers may not want to do (especially TC - a lot of scammers hate him, although he may trust you specifically with that info), as well would delay the time it would take the seller to receive funds (this is probably a necessary evil involved in using escrow though)

Huh? I hope you're joking

No.  Not joking.

but if not anyone else willing to deal with OP should check my previous posts:

Saw your posts. The fact that Marc got his hands on funds from this wallet, or that funds that Marc had eventually made their way to this wallet does not concern me.  Unless there is proof that the address used for the signature is under the control of Marc, I'm willing to give the user the benefit of the doubt.

I will, of course, INSIST that either he sends first, or that we use trusted forum escrow.

LMK if you need an escrow. I'll do this one for free.
I honestly don't even think using escrow would be safe for the buyer on this one. The OP is likely going to say that he somehow the funds were not received or that whatever code was given to him did not work/was redeemed already ect.

The OP needs to find someone very reputable that he is willing to send first too, I would personally vouch that Danny is reputable enough to trust sending first too, but is probably one of very people who of so, especially with such a large amount

You have quite a bit of trust on here however I think you have a bit to learn about how the forum works and how various trades take place. If you are escrow then there will be no shortage of people trying to scam you and you need to anticipate these scam attempts and take steps from them being successful.

Okay, thanks. I am sure people will try to scam me, I was going to start by escrowing only small purchases. Then, if it does turn into a scam and somehow something goes awry I can always reimburse them.
That can get very expensive very quickly. That is an appropriate response when you are an escrow for that kind of trade however you may not be able to accurately know if someone is telling the truth about various facts.

There are no requirements for starting an escrow service and it is a free market and you are free to do so but I would stand by my above advice to you.
