1261  Economy / Gambling discussion / How has discovering bitcoin gambling affected your life? on: August 21, 2015, 01:55:46 PM
As the title says. Bitcoin gambling allows an easy, hassle-free way for just about anyone to gamble; there are no age restrictions, not really a minimum to play, and the max bets are often in the thousands of dollars (fiat value). in addition, most gambling sites offer faucets that may act as a gateway for people to become addicted. So how have you all changed since gambling? have you become an addict constantly searching for coin to fuel your addiction? or has it taught you self-restraint from your past losses? really curious where this'll go.

All that is needed for a Paypal account is a valid email and fake address. Once you have these two you can send and recieve ~$2800 from your account a year (Source: My Paypal account is not verified, the spending limit is listed as ~Ģ1,780, worth ~$2800 at current exchange rates). However, Paypal would likely reverse all transactions with that money included and then suspend your account.
actually ive heard differently on the matter; paypal reversing those transactions could potentially cause all sorts of problems for potential merchants that had that money sent to. I believe the account balance for that account just goes into the negative save for special cases.

today is last day of pay this bills.i haven't time. Cry Cry
sorry but sob stories dont work here. unless you have something to offer a potential lender as collateral it is highly unlikely youll get what you supposedly need.

no but i may have if is need too.i have no timefor secound acc
then how do you plan to repay this loan using the money from a signature campaign if you are using this account as collateral and you have no other accounts? not to mention the secondstrade campaign wouldnt give you enough to pay off the loan within a few weeks' time. pretty damn fishy if you ask me, especially considering that you tried a similar loan not too long ago in marco's thread:

Hello

Amount: 0.60BTC
Interest: 10%
Collateral: BTCTalk Account (Member rank ) twitter acc.(salek11),hackedforums acc

you would be lucky to get 0.1 BTC using your account as collateral, 0.51 is being optimistic to say the least.

the speed meter wont show if theres a problem with packet loss, so its not too helpful; did you try using your wireless adapter on another device? also, did you change anything at all on either your computer or network setup before this lag started? trying to diagnose the cause of the problem rather than trying random fixes.

as for testing for packet loss, a quick thing you can do is open up command prompt and do: ping <riot game server ip> -t
ctrl c to break after a few minutes, as itll continue with the -t parameter.

I would like to discuss terms further with whom ever steps forward, however privately.
loan details should be made public. also, you should list the domains you are willing to transfer as collateral as well as stats on those domains; godaddy ratings, alexa ratings, whatever else is useful, i dont delve into the domain name market so maybe someone who knows more can fill in.

digitial goods are not covered by paypal protection i believe
youre right on that.

op if you can, post logs/screenshots of communication between you and the seller. on a related, note, i have spoken with both paypal and ebay customer support extensively in the past, and while paypal's policies will not protect you, ebay's do to an extent. if you can prove to ebay that you have not received the bitcoin and if the item was listed in the correct subcategory, it may be possible that ebay can help you with the issue. however, I do not have any personal experiences regarding that last part pertaining to ebay actually helping you out.

on a slightly related note, ebay accounts and paypal accounts are traded on this forum, its quite possible that the account you purchased the coin from was a sold ebay account used solely for scamming.
i dont want to promote this kind of act, but if you want the sure method, just tell paypal your account was hacked, 99.9999% of the time they will give the dispute to you.

Extortion is frowned upon. If it is discovered that you are trying to extort a member then there is a good chance that you and your alts will receive negative trust.

Would the suggested course of action be to go public about who is extorting who, and the situation?
Open a scam accusation and/or report the PMs you are receiving to an admin.  

This is best course of action.   Also it is important to know what are they trying to extort?  For example if you scammed someone and they say they will release info if you don't pay back..... not nice but could be justified if scammed.

I'm not pro doxing, I think it could be used for bad things.  But if it is a scammer and it helps someone get their money back I can see why doxing would be allowed.

But as a general rule no extortion is not good.  Report it.

Well, doxing is allowed here but im not sure if always, obviously doxing a scammer is not a bad thing since you may be able to take legal actions against him if enough info is provided, in the other hand if the scammers themselves dox people that are not scammers, i dontīt think that should be allowed.
it's not that it's allowed, more so that it's not disallowed. and that's quite the double standard you're suggesting; even if they are scammers, that's still a person's information. we can't have two sets of rules or morals for two sets of people, normal users and convicted scammers. I hate scammers all the same, but there needs to be 1 set rule about such a sensitive topic.

I explained quite clearly why doxing scammers could be useful, why canīt we have two sets of rules? Doxing a scammer can be helpful if you want to take legal actions against him, i think itīs quite clear.
i never said it wouldnt be useful. however, having 2 sets of rules? especially for something as touchy as doxxing? whats the advantage of that besides it being useful for a few cases, which as i stated before, would be a double standard? There is so much potential for exploitation when two sets of rules are applied for people in separate groups; what exactly would qualify for one to be judged under 1 ruleset? who or what group of people decides who falls into one category? its pretty hypocritical to have 2 rulesets, not to mention straight up discriminatory. if any real world nation were to have two sets of laws for different groups of people (males vs females, majority race vs minorities, etc) imagine the global outrage that would happen. or we can compare this to a more similar situation, a regular citizen vs a former convicted criminal that was released from jail. is it okay to go and assault said criminal because he robbed someone's home in the past, and is therefore judged under a special ruleset? no, thats still illegal to assault someone. not the best words to state my points, and im not sure i got the message across clearly, but hopefully you get the gist of what im trying to say here. the potential complications of judging people differently simply outweigh the few cases where scammers would be doxxed or whatever.

No violation of trust if the buyer is made aware prior to him making the purchase.


Do not misunderstand me, I find absolutely nothing wrong with people trying to get the best price for their accounts. I guess my initial comment was more a reflex than anything else  Cheesy
In any case, let it be known here and now that I will never sell my account in this manner, regardless of the amount of BTC offered  Smiley
thats if and only if the buyer is fine with that information becoming public knowledge, but yeah, i get what youre saying. however, i would expect most buyers wouldnt be fine with that.
1272  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: if my account has positive trust is it value pushed up? on: August 21, 2015, 10:20:17 AM
I think the admins should maintain a thread that tracks account ownership. There is no need to know who the new owner is but it would definitely be good for the seller to let people know he is no longer in control of the account, especially if it is an old account.
that's a lot of work to put on two people, and letting people know the account is sold could potentially lead to a red trust rating, which would significantly lower the value of the sold account.

Ok maybe a community maintained thread then. There is no reason for the account to receive negative trust, as a matter of fact it would be a blatant abuse of power if someone would do it just because the account has changed hands. Trading of accounts is not against forum rules. It would be the decent thing to do for the seller anyway, especially if he is trusted by a lot of people. I'm sure you wouldn't want somebody to use your name to scam people who've come to respect you on here.
at the same time, if the seller/escrow are trusted, it would be a violation of said trust to let the world  know x account was bought. of course, there's no rule about this when account trading, but its tacitly known enough to assume that people (the buyers) dont want that kind of information known when accounts trade hands.
1273  Economy / Services / Re: 5$ in Bitcoin to fix my League of Legends ping. on: August 21, 2015, 10:02:37 AM
this is impossible to diagnose without information; are you using a wired/wireless connection? up/down speeds of your connection (disregard if youre paying big bucks for good internet)? PC or laptop? whats the NIC your setup is using? how frequent is your ping spiking? can you provide logs of your traffic to the game servers? and if not, can you download the necessary software to record some logs for people to look through? and background programs running? since when has this issue persisted?
1274  Other / Meta / Re: recovering old scammed account on: August 21, 2015, 09:52:15 AM
When did you lost the account? The account have first posted a BTC address at 11th May, while the negative ratings there are of 12th May. Are the address yours, or it is hacker's? If it is theirs then you are very not likely to get your account back. Next time (or by this account) you should post a bitcoin address here fast.

BTW I've searched archive.org and found a sig. with ref link from 5th May. The only way to prove the account us yours is to prove the ref link is yours. However admins rarely accept this. So you're almost saying goodbye to the account:(

Lost my account on May 11. He immediately stake his address so yea that was his. I have an address posted but it can't be sign because it's an address of one of a local exchange site that I use as my main wallet for small transactions. I've learned my lessons tho.

Anyway I already bid goodbye to that account but knowing that mods have access to the emails that was once in the account, I thought just maybe it could help. I have there all the emails of notifs of my account back then.

you can still prove using the old address by sending a small transaction to a BTC address.
you can try that
except the present owner of the account would know the address as well, and could easily do the same. your suggestion proves nothing.
you mean the new owner can send a small transaction using the old address staked by jacee?
jacee did you give the access to your old address to the new owner?
oh my bad, i read that wrong, I thought you suggested that jacee send coins to that exchange address, late at night, my fault. however, its not a guarantee that the exchange uses address as a sort of "personal wallet" for users, and its possible that a transaction made from the exchange will not include op's specific address as an output.

can you guys provide proof you are actually mining? lots of red flags about this imo; promises "fast roi," giving away free ghs for all users, and you claim to have over 100 TH's of hashing power. can you prove you own that hashing power?

Of course
but when people notice account has been sold, it will be negative trusted
only if people believe there is reason to not trust the new owner of the account; a majority of the time purchased accounts are used for sig campaigns anyways.
