Let's explain the scam:
Warning the community here as well. He bought some stolen CC data somewhere, and he wants to use YOUR account to buy bitcoin with it. He is looking for someone to commit a crime with him. Don't fall to him!
12102  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: MyCelium Unable to Send To Specific Addresses on: February 25, 2021, 05:00:22 PM
I'm copying the address directly from BlueWallet and pasting into MyCelium. It seems to be an issue w/ BlueWallet, not MyCelium, but the address's from BlueWallet are too long and generate an error message w/in MyCelium.
I've just tested this by copying a bc1q-address from BlueWallet to Mycelium, and it works without errors.

This is probably a noob question
In that case: your Mycelium is set to Bitcoin, and not ETH, right?

Or even more n00b: did you get a Bitcoin address from BlueWallet, or did you create a Lightning payment request? Those are a lot longer and won't work in Mycelium indeed.

I'm surprised Ledger just lists Discontinued products without any links on how to recover the funds.
I'm following this topic to add the solution to my overview of old storage formats.

Note: after recovering your Bitcoins from an old wallet, you may want check for Forkcoins on your addresses.

I have created a flag.
I have Opposed the Flag because you have no evidence. I've seen mixers that could use a Letter of Guarantee, but choose not to provide it. That means they don't provide the customer with the means to prove foul play, and that means they're partially to blame for having a scam accusation without evidence.
In this case however, MyCryptoMixer provides all users with a signed Letter of Guarantee. You could (and should) have saved the LoG before making a deposit. Therefore, the lack of evidence is entirely on you, and I'm not comfortable Flagging a user because of that.

I will however leave neutral feedback with this post as Reference.

This sucks, I think if you used the genuine URL you will be OK. My concern is that you sent your BTC to a phishing URL (please say it was the genuine website).
That's not enough, if you use non onion websites on Tor, many exit nodes try to steal your Bitcoin:

They (selectively) remove HTTP-to-HTTPS redirects to gain full access to plain unencrypted HTTP traffic without causing TLS certificate warnings.

It appears that they are primarily after cryptocurrency related websites — namely multiple bitcoin mixer services. They replaced bitcoin addresses in HTTP traffic to redirect transactions to their wallets instead of the user provided bitcoin address.

Oh really!!! Lol Grin!! Then why you do bounty? You are also a shit poster man.
Let me guess: he busted some of your alts and now you're on a witch hunt to get him?

If you see shitposts, click "Report to moderator" and type "shitpost". It's really that simple.

a month ago I acted as middleman for one transaction and I was trusted with $4K. Bonus part - I've never received positive feedback for that
My largest trusted amounts also never resulted in any feedback. That's okay, it keeps people private.

I think you should redirect people to blockstack_recover: Extract private keys from blockstack-client wallets instead of that topic.
I've added the link, I'll leave it to the reader to choose read everything.

If you quote the entire OP, your entry will be deleted.
... would it be possible to put all above into a windows 10 executable which performs a low level scan of the local drive/s, then displays possible files with a % of certainty based on the details found above? while you are building it, perhaps you can also scan for privkeys and anything else bitcoin useful, add in a checkit live switch on the blockchain for possible value. I'll buy a copy and be the first customer!
I've removed your post (because of the large quote), but answer it anyway: no, that's not possible.

It's not HEX Sad
It's alfanumeric big and small letters.  No special characters (like = / ?)
Have you tried to use it as a Brain Wallet on (offline air gapped) Bitaddress.org? Try both standard and compressed, and see if either one of them produces your Bitcoin address.

Invincible49 left a lot of negative feedback for reasons I don't consider correct use of the Trust system:
Yes this is probably a mistake that I already admitted in another thread and in Personal message with Yoshie that I need to learn a lot about when and how to put my feedbacks on profile
Great, I can only encourage that. But I don't think you should be on DT already while you're still learning this.

Some guys sending me death threat
This is a bannable offense, so just report them.

When did we made it a rule that I can't catch scammers like Kakatua and tag his countless alts?
There's no rule against that, and as far as I know the community consensus is in favour of tagging alts of scammers.

Quote
Just go over the account @Cadaver20 and see how he is evading ban. So I left a feedback on his account and then he put a feedback on mine retrospectively.
If it's ban evasion, report it, and get him banned.

Quote
I appreciated how they sent their funds to me without any escrow.
That means they (can) trust you, it doesn't mean you (can/should) trust them. It's a crucial distinction.

Quote
But then again this newbie account OP is coming at me with some motive I believe which is to destroy my reputation.
Why worry about what a Newbie says about you? Why worry about the opinion of anyone who's judgement you don't value, especially on the internet? With thousands of people on Bitcointalk, you'll stumble upon someone you disagree with eventually. That's okay.

Quote
I'll exclude invincible49 myself. If one more DT1 member excludes him, he drops out of DT2.
ah You have done it now I see!
Since YOSHIE removed his inclusion, I've removed my exclusion. There's no point in excluding you now, and if you improve on doing what's widely considered to be correct use of the Trust system, you may be included again in the future.

Quote
So catching scammers, tagging their accounts who were trying to scam with at least 5+ different projects now earn me a place in your Excluding list!  Sad
No. I have no problems with tags for those reasons. It's the tags for other reasons that got you excluded, see this topic for some discussion on the subject.

Do you have any advice on how to proceed? I still haven't gotten a hold of anyone from their team.
There is no "team", just one guy. All you can do is wait for him to (wake up and) respond.
12114  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Low fee causing unconfirmed transaction on: February 24, 2021, 09:56:55 AM
It's been stuck for 21 days now, I think it's pretty much lost forever.
Bitcoins don't get "lost" this way, they stay in your original wallet until the transaction confirms.

Fees are still high, as long as your wallet keeps broadcasting the transaction, it doesn't drop from mempool.
You've been offered several solutions, if you have the receiving address in Electrum, all you have to do is making a new transaction to your own address with a high fee.
12115  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: MYCRYPTOMIXER SCAM 13 BTC, 600,000 USD on: February 24, 2021, 09:04:14 AM
I see several crucial mistakes, and I'm going to point them out because I really don't get why people keep doing this:

Mistakes made
  • Depositing before downloading, saving and verifying the Letter of Guarantee
  • Sending a large amount of Bitcoin to a relatively small and unknown service
  • Sending your entire Bitcoin savings at once to a third party
  • Keeping your life savings entirely in Bitcoin

All of this means you literally have no proof whatsoever to backup your claims, while you could and should have had a signed message. But even then, a one-man operation could be very tempted to take such a large (and for many people life-changing) amount of Bitcoin. Selective scamming has happened before and will happen again. It's trival to add an "if amount large enough, then don't return it"-setting to the server routines.

I'm following this case to see how it evolves. In a similar (but much smaller) case the mixer said the funds were sent to a different address:
I do not know the reason for this, had we have LoG we could confirm whether it was an user error, or a malicious actor's doing.
12116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I've messed up my node synchronisation on: February 24, 2021, 08:44:21 AM
I wouldn't recommend Linux From Scratch or Gentoo. Apart from a very steep learning curve, you're probably better off with a distribution that's secure out of the box.

I found Best Linux distros for privacy and security in 2021 an interesting read, although the privacy focused distributions aren't really meant for permanent installations.
12117  Other / Meta / Re: [WORKING] LoyceV's alternative for Piggy's @mention notification bot on: February 23, 2021, 06:40:14 PM
Are you still planning to kick out unactive users LoyceV?
Yes, and when I do, I'll PM all users who updated their code to join through a new self-moderated thread so I can keep it short. But as always, I need the time.
12118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Corrupted private key? on: February 23, 2021, 12:27:03 PM
it could be possible that you have an altcoin's private key.
Unlikely:
blockchain.com show it's base58 (p2pkh) format and shows some  small balance.
12119  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 1NiNja1bUmhSoTXozBRBEtR8LeF9TGbZBN on: February 23, 2021, 12:25:04 PM
It's probably a paper wallet Wink
And it's probably he lost the private key,  Smiley
Isn't it ironic though, the developer himself, a paper wallet application that has been used for probably thousands times by many enthusiast to hold their precious BTC, losses his own access which currently sits around $1,900,000.
There's no irony involved, he still advertises the address and thus still has access.

Even if he can change the address, that would be if he still has access to the the website itself.
Webhosting doesn't pay for itself, so he probably still has access.
12120  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Corrupted private key? on: February 23, 2021, 12:16:05 PM
64 characters... Probably hexadecimal...
But "nV" isn't part of it, otherwise the number of characters fits indeed:
Private Key Hexadecimal (64 characters [0-9A-F]) (less common).
