Its a waste of time to watch it  though..... 

Ah got ya, I didn't realize the diameter directly corresponds to the thickness of the coin, thanks for the clarification! 

EDIT: Seems like US Minted coins go up in thickness as the diameter increases?... I guess I'm showing my noob nature to physical coins again.

I'm assuming typo?      Last time I checked, 2.5" fits inside of 3"?

I wanted to ignore just based on the youtube video  

It doesn't appear ANACS grades this size of a coin, but if you confirm that they will grade it, I'd be interested.
(Sorry for not PMing, based on prior experience I'd rather keep communications public at this point!  )

Did you get the impression he actually thought you were breaking the law and got aggressive when you corrected him?  or do you think he was just making up a false charge just to harass you?  ....I guess the latter is what I thought you were saying with the OP, but the bolded statement makes sense to me and this is definitely not a good reaction to the situation by any police officer, or human being for that matter.

I'm also curious what the 'other discussions' mentioned in the OP were that went on before he made the comment?
I just want to clarify that you didn't come up to him throwing up gang signs and saying "wha wha mother$*#$, I know the law $*#*$, get out of my face!" and had some level of respectfulness?  

In any case, I would hope this is an isolated incident... I'm not sure how old you are, but it sounds like the cop might have been a newer police officer?

If it were me, as long as I am within my legal right to do so, I'd be out there the next morning leaf blowing, with a recording device and/or witnesses, but would still have a level of respect in the situation... the same level of respect I would give to any person, not just a cop.  

It is a great day when a scammer is convinced to send the coins back to his victim, even a small amount, but unfortunately its based on his own self-motivated interests. The account has age to it, which adds value, and gives the scammer the potential to increase his activity count easier, skipping up through the ranks to likely scam for a larger amount.

Nevertheless, this repayment doesn't erase the 11 months that it was defaulted with no communication. You clearly had no intention to send the coins back until you realized your account could be used to make much more money than the loan amount, the *promise* of a donation on top of your loan repayment is to gain sympathy, but until your *potential* giveaways start equalling the value of the account, I can't take you seriously. Not to mention, your word/promise at this point means nothing.
All of this makes you extremely untrustworthy.

And on a personal note, I would rather not have an old scammer account posting crap to increase activity and trying to get $$ for a signature campaign. But that's just me.

this post history appears like he actually repaid the loan back in 2014... when in fact, we all know that post was edited recently (June 16th, 2015). Just seems like something that should show up in the post history 

Your telling me a cop just walked up to you and said this without no official noise complaint from a neighbor or someone around you?



People who support police are not short sighted and ignorant. They are worried about their safety and want someone to protect them, their family, and their community from bad people. That being said, there is a correct way to have a police presence and an incorrect way, and unfortunately a lot of police departments are swaying towards the incorrect way (all with "good" intentions, but failing badly and jeopardizing freedom in the process). Politicians are a large part of the problem.

Your situation is a little hard to believe without a complaint from someone else though... unless there are details being left out, like did you forget to get dressed before you went out and started leaf blowing?    

"Hate the cops?  Next time you need help, call a crackhead"  

Happy Birthday theymos.

For the record, everyone else on this thread is a kiss-up. 

I don't know why this thread continues... its obvious to me that there are aliens, and not only bacteria sitting on some distant plant, but full-blown intelligent species of aliens. Multiple species across the universe. There are enough credible witnesses, videos, and physical evidence provided by soil samples, plant/tree samples, unknown foreign material in abduction victims, etc. to attest to this. I would hypothesize the Government has known about extraterrestrials since the 40s/50s and gained a lot of knowledge, information, and technology in the 60s-70s, also the time that smear campaigns and discredit techniques were refined and perfected.

Prior generations were naive and accepted the Government's explanations because they believed they were listening to someone they could trust. We need to INDEPENDANTLY question and fully investigate every report of UFOs, abduction, and other supernatural occurrences and all will come to light.  

I have no doubt that anger, and *maybe* a few beers (alcohol is no excuse), clouded that part of your judgement - the part that thinks about getting negative trust and the long-term effects, but it seemed clear to me that people were believing what you were saying, and you continued, in order to reach your end goal of getting the posts removed (extortion).

FTFY. You wanted people to believe it, that's obvious, whether it happened or not. And insanely enough, your plan worked because the posts were removed, and now I can never fucking know what actually pissed you off so bad. Thanks mods.

Don't take offense, I don't know you personally, but it wasn't just one post, you carried the story along several posts and maintained that you lost control of the coins due to a rogue wife (which is completely believable). There is a certain type of character that reacts like this when they are angry, and there is a type of person who doesn't. I am glad you came to your senses, and impressed with your release of the coins and I would hope the trust would be converted to neutral with a full explanation, but IMO your actions show you should not be trusted with large sums of the forums coins.

Can you show the blockchain transaction for the payments mentioned in this thread?   and can you sign a message from any of the addresses used for this prior loan?

For my intents and purposes, it could be based on the DefaultTrust list and could be cached. I didn't want to shout this from the rooftops, but my hope was to be able to zone in on higher-up accounts being sold/bought. Trust count is a value that usually has to be partially disclosed by the seller in order to inspire buyers and add more value to their account, and could be cross-referenced with the memberlist to at least narrow down what accounts could be sold/bought, and then monitor those accounts more closely for scams. I could go into further details on my thoughts, but I'd rather not.

I realize a lot of people seem to be fine with allowing accounts to be bought/sold, but when accounts with high trust, legendary status, etc. are being sold, I really think it creates a bad atmosphere on this forum and opens up a high potential for *large* scams when someone smart enough buys out one (or multiple) of those accounts. Escrows could be bought/sold, so don't give me the "just make sure you use escrow and no worries".
 
One fear, if this isn't already happening, is that this will evolve to people starting alts with a new wallet, building them up, then selling their 'wallet.dat' files with their account to allow someone to 100% take an account as if he IS the original owner.

I think I understand Satoshis goal of a "trustless" system, but never being able to establish trust, even with someone you've dealt with numerous times, IMO stifles trading volume and the market in general, and creates more potential for large scale scams.

The forum can't stop it, but what about just a rule that says you can't sell your account through an alt, only the account being sold is the one you can post the sale from?... to try and open up transparency a little more?  I realize they could just goto another forum and make the sale but I'm not sure its great having full support from the forum for buying/selling forum accounts.

You shouldn't judge a person by looking at the post count, but that's on there... there are other reasons to have the column listed. 

Any chance on getting the trust score added as one of the columns in the 'member list' ?

I am interested in any details you can provide, please PM.

It sounds like you are not the original owner of the account?  I would assume most actual legendary members know what it means to sign?

When was the account registered/created?  
Can you provide an actual trust count?
