1221  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Signing a message ? on: June 10, 2015, 03:01:30 PM
Again , when we try to sign a message with our Bitcoin adresses .. Logically the wallet (dosen't matter which one really .; Electrum,Multibit , Bitcoin Core or Armory) asks you to put a Bitcoin addy , I'm wondering how that prooves that you own the adress ? Shocked

I never tried to put an adress that it's not mine but I'am really curious , when I put an adress , does the wallet check if I own the adresses on my receiving adresses or what exactly ?  Huh because it wouldn't make sense if you can put any adress randomly . or im missing something like everytime :x

Of course it won't work if you enter an address you don't own. In order to sign a message you need to have the private key of that address. Therefore you need to have that address in your wallet and you need to have the password to unlock the wallet (if it is encrypted).

If you enter an address you don't own all you'll get is an error message. You should have tried before posting.
1222  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: My bitcoin wallet insists on charging 0.001 btc to send, but I want to pay less on: June 10, 2015, 12:43:29 PM

Hi. I am trying to lower the fee to send bitcoins, but my wallet is stuck at a fee of 0.001 btc

I tried resetting the fee amount in the Settings>Options>Main window to 5000 satoshi,

but it is still stuck at 100,000 satoshi.

I am thinking I might pay 0.00000500 btc (500 satoshi) to send.

How do I make the fees less to send?

What wallet are you using? That's an important information to share.
A fee of 500 satoshis is worthless and will be treated as 0. It's possible in that case it's using a default value of 0.001. Try setting it to 0.0001 (per kb) which is what's normally used.

I recommend you to read this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=124068.msg1332793#msg1332793 and the docs about fees.
Nope, you're wrong.
Bitcoin transaction fee now is per byte, not per kilobyte.
https://blockchain.info/tx/a40793e7c4eddea9474f9378143e7208cbcac8d4e3ec7d1eb72948e7ba47f591

In most wallets you set the fee per kb, not per byte, and then the calculations are being made from there whether the fee is rounded up to kb or set per byte.

I highly doubt OP meant he was setting 500 satoshis per byte. I'm pretty sure he was setting it per kb and that's way to low. I insist that he should set it to 0.0001 per kb (or the equivalent per byte but I really don't think his wallet is asking per byte). Anyway as I said it would help if OP mentions the wallet he's using.

I you meant something else with your high-priority TX link I didn't understand you.

It seems it hasn't scammed anyone here yet but someone promoted this obvious scam here today and I see it's being promoted on several other BTC sites.

Sure, looks legit:


Creating a brand new account just to promote this site + Site running without SSL + Site lying about being certified by Comodore, Verisign and others = Scam.

not every newbie is a scammer

I know. My first thread here went really bad.

Just accept using escrow (i.e. fund the address posted by Tomatocage). Your first thread will go wonderfully well and your trust will be cleared:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1084466.msg11569594#msg11569594

Of course not every newbie is a scammer. All old honest users were newbies one day. The problem is a lot of old users use new accounts to scam.
Honest users don't have any problem using trusted users as escrow so if a newbie asks people to send first and refuses to use a very trusted member as escrow then it's almost certain it's a scammer. A trustworthy newbie (or old) user will use escrow and therefore will have smooth deals.

Therefore nobody should deal with OP (Volemal), del1993 or any other newbie ever without escrow. And it's recommended to use escrow even when dealing with old members.
Unfortunately not even escrow protects from PayPal so it's not recommended at all to accept PayPal payments from users unless they're extremely trusted.
1227  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Kris Is Asking For Bitcoins by PMing. FAKE on: June 09, 2015, 04:40:50 PM
Yes it seems this is a hacked account. Check this:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1085391.0
He had the custom name 'theymos' and text 'administrator'.

This account is banned already:
Changed it back and banned it with a message about being compromised.
But a few trusted negative feedback would still help.
1228  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: clipman77 tried to scam me out of 4 BTC on: June 09, 2015, 02:31:36 PM
After all the nonsense, obvious lies and attempts to derive the subject of discussion posted by clipman77 it's clear he tried to scam OP.

I'm updating my feedback to negative. Someone from default trust should leave a negative feedback too to prevent more scam attempts.

Edit: Thanks TC
1229  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: clipman77 tried to scam me out of 4 BTC on: June 09, 2015, 01:14:41 PM
This man is a swindler, he began to write to me and force me to sell him the coins that I have successfully sold to another person, maybe he was just hurt.

Yes that PM was published by OP along with the one where he offers to pay the escrow fee and let you choose the escrow. It's extremely fishy that you changed your mind radically when he mentioned escrow. Can you explain why?

From the PMs it appears as if you preferred to sell at a lower price in order to avoid using escrow. Is any of the information posted by OP false? Can I ask whom you sold the coins to instead? Did he send first to you? Can he confirm he got the coins afterwards? If he's a somewhat trusted user his input would be useful.
1230  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: I'm selling 8 btc with Paypal on: June 08, 2015, 06:26:34 PM
Hey everyone, I'm selling 8 Bitcoins with Paypal.

Exchange rate is 1:1

Minimum trade is $200
Maximum is $1800

Steps to Exchange:

1. Pm me how much you want along with your btc address. I'll give you my email if I approve.
2. Send money on Paypal as goods and services.
3. I'll send the bitcoins immediately after the payment is in my account.


Something tells you won't accept to use a very trusted member of this forum as escrow, will you? I think you'll ask anyone to send first because "they can charge back at any time", right?
If you don't accept escrow then it means all you want to do is scam and most probably you don't even have the 8 bitcoins.
1231  Other / Meta / Re: 50 BTC from the forum now frozen due to lack of moderation on: June 08, 2015, 03:39:51 PM
You know this sounds like extortion right? Read your post objectively and tell me it doesn't.

You can argue with my wife about that if you like but I have lost control of the offline computer.


There are two completely separate problems here. One is that those posts by seriouscoin are indeed offensive and I agree they need to be removed.

The other problem is OP's extortion. It does sound like he's extorting the admins demanding them to remove the posts or they won't see those BTC50 again. Even if it's true that OP doesn't have access to them anymore then he'd need to be responsible and pay back from their own coins. If he accepts the responsibility to hold the coins he can't refuse to pay back when required under any circumstance. If someone stole or hacked those coins he'd still have to pay them back.
1232  Economy / Lending / Re: Collateral as a Service---- I will Lend you Collateral on: June 07, 2015, 07:56:57 PM

I want to gauge the level of desire for such a service. If both Lenders and borrowers have a collateral Assurance they can count on, this should make the Bit lending space more dynamic.
What are your thoughts? As a loan Provider what structure of Insurance would please you?

I have finished sketching out the mechanics of how I want to set up and run such a service.

What exactly are you proposing? You will give the collateral to the lender, he sends the coins to the borrower and you don't get anything in return at that stage?

If everything goes well the borrower pays back the loan plus interest to the lender and you get the collateral back plus a fee? How would you protect yourself? Scammers could take advantage of you. Because of this the risk wouldn't be statistical like an ensuring company.

Regarding your question stable alt coins would be an obvious collateral too.

I'm buying Bitcoin with Paypal.

Rate is 1:1
if the amount is amount is smaller than $50

Rate is 1:1 plus 5%
if the amount is $50 or higher. (for $50 BTC you will receive $52.5)

My maximum one time trade is $200.

If escrow is required, cryptothrift.com has a good escrow system.
If no escrow is needed we can trade directly here.

I will repeat what I said here:

Of course you won't be able to find anyone here willing to sell BTC to a newbie using a reversible payment method. Read this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=14632.0

Most probably the only requests you'll get will be from scammers asking you to send first. You shouldn't send first to untrusted members and no trusted member should deal with you, not even with escrow. Just don't use PayPal.

Of course it's not enough to say you're trusted to really be trusted. Also your only feedback here appears to be your alt account. I can't be sure it is but it definitely appears so.

1235  Other / Meta / Re: User creating massive amounts of referral spam - EmpoEX on: June 07, 2015, 02:28:47 PM
Yeah, probably the users just clicked a phishing link themselves or got a virus from somewhere else.

I got this PM from EmpoEX:
Hello,

We have noticed that you have left us a negative trust rating for spamming referral links.
Our account was hacked by a trojan horse virus that was spread around the last couple of days, resulting in spam being sent out. If you did not notice, we edited all posts to apologise for the inconveniences. They have now since been deleted.

We're asking kindly if you can remove the negative trust from our account.

Thank you very much

I linked him to this thread and asked him to provide more details. If what he says is true he should give as much information as possible to prevent this in the future.
1236  Economy / Lending / Re: Lending year old accounts for three months on: June 07, 2015, 12:24:14 AM
Wouldn't it make more sense to have escrow hold on to the BTC deposit to ensure you don't just end up "selling" the account for 0.25? It's a pretty high price for just a member account, even if it has potential activity to go up to senior with posting. Letting the escrow handle the BTC disbursement at the end of the loan will make sure both parties will get back what they expected.

And what will happen if the escrow vanishes within three months by selling his account like this ? Even if I assume the worst case, that I have a plan to sell now and not lend, then standing today yes I'd be on profit. But, standing after three months, I would be losing because a Sr. Member profile (which would in fact be close to Hero Member), will fetch me more than 0.25 BTC. It is rather more probable, that the borrower might not like to return the profile.

That is the worst case scenario, escrow running off and potentially screwing both sides over but this can happen with any transaction with any escrow. Whoever's borrowing will still probably much rather trust his funds in the hands of a reputable escrow than someone posting from a newbie account, no offense. If we go by your logic then nobody should be using escrow since there's a risk that escrow can run away with the funds they're holding.

You ducked my concern. I have made it bold so that you can catch them quick. Moreover, when an escrow is used for a day they can be trusted. But I wont trust anyone unknown on this forum for three months to hold my colateral. Even John K vanished for long term holding colateral and returned them much later.

Regarding the bold part I suggest the escrow holds more than 0.25 BTC. The account borrower can send 0.45 BTC or so to the escrow, who would keep it. You won't receive the coins so you can't run with the money (effectively selling the account for 0.25 BTC) and the borrower won't want to run with the account after 3 months because he'd lose 0.45 BTC. If everything goes well then the escrow sends 0.025 BTC and the account to you and the rest to the borrower.

Regarding the escrow there's always a risk, but it's much less probable a trusted escrow vanishes than you do. Some measures could be taken to reduce the risk:
  • Using more than one escrow. Two users could hold the coins, 50% each.
  • Using 2-of-3 multisig. Either the borrower and you must release the money (if everything goes well), or the escrow and one of you. The escrow can't release it alone.

However you do it it's far too complicated if you ask me, it will be hard for you to complete the deal. But good luck.

You really need to provide more information, like the exact error message you get.

However since it appears both sites started giving you problems at the same time my guess is your Google Authenticator app got out of sync. Try this:
  • Open Google Authenticator
  • Go to Settings
  • Touch 'Time correction for codes'
  • Select 'Sync now'

If you keep having problems either post more information or contact the sites directly and ask them for help.
