Seems to be for a good cause (newbie education). I will wear your signature for a day or two.

Feel free to give my mining contract to the new person who signs up (they get two)

I think this is also a good way to impersonate others. While it may be cool to have special characters in your username people who are highly trusted will be impersonated.

Maybe we could keep existing usernames as they are now and in the future make it so, moving forward only Latin can be used?

Quickseller should just refund the account buyer using escrow and the new owner should give the account back to original owner. Then all parties would be happy.

I think the original owner will have to pay Quickseller to make the trade. Roll Eyes

I think that is more realistic then to expect me to pay the new owner of zedicus so a scammer can have his account that he sold me back. Either way whatever happens is between the person who now owns zedicus and bayuo, if they want to make a deal they can do so themselves (hopefully involving escrow). I plan on staying out of it

The forum does not moderate potential scams. Doing so would be a de facto endorsement of what is not moderated. It is impossible to be 100% sure that something is not a scam.

This is a self moderated thread and I could have deleted your scam accusations post, but I will not do that. I will respond to you.

First of all he is not talking about this account nor this sale, but our previous contact about Full Member accounts, I agreed to sell him 2 Full Member accounts for 0.09 BTC after 2 days of haggling. And then he says that he wants me to send him the usernames and passwords or use "his" middleman. It was very insulting for him to even suggest that, after I have lowered the price as much as it goes.

So you little maggot, take your frustration back to your mother and father because they forgot to teach you how to behave in a respectful manner. I have done business here for months, and no one ever had any issues with me. I am 100% clean.

Sam
first of all it is not a self moderated thread and you don't know how to create one
a hero member of this community don't know how to create a self moderated thread i wonder if he really have a hero account or have a hacked one

second i just asked you for middle man because even if we are dealing for 0.01BTC we should use middleman for safety of both of us, and i was ready to pay the fees for middleman

this is a scammer or selling hacked accounts
i have seen many legit seller here who accept escrow for their service


if anyone wants to loose their bitcoin, he should definitely deal with this user
beware guys, don't be a victim of scam, don't buy hacked accounts

Accusing me of selling hacked accounts ? Are you serious ? That is one hell of an allegation buddy. You are just throwing baseless claims around, shame on you.

You are probably an adolescent living in his mothers basement and you got pissed at me because I did not give you a bigger discount for the 2 Full Member Accounts, yeah 0.09 for 2 of these is such a ripoff.

But regardless , you do not go around and accusing people of selling hacked goods without any real evidence or anything at all to base your claim on. Remember that, it might save you a lot more than a few satoshis, there are some wicked people around and fortunately for you I am not one of them.

Sam

You did sell this account, which was claimed to have been hacked in this thread.
Did you actually buy that account from samtsuedo?
14427  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Selling Hero account for 0.7 btc only on: December 10, 2014, 06:20:47 AM
I have been in communication with the OP regarding his "hero" account. He claims that he is the original owner. When I asked for a signed message, he claimed to not know how to sign a message, I gave him instructions and below is his response:

Hello,

I see that you are selling a hero account.

Can you please confirm that you are able to provide a signed message from an old unedited post the hero account has posted in order to prove ownership?

I may be interested.
how to do I don't know If you guide me I will do that but to escrow only. Don't worry it is my own account.

How you do that will depend on the wallet service that you use. If you tell me what wallet you use, I can give you instructions.

I do accept escrow.

Your price however is very high. Are you willing to come down on price at all?

I have seen another person selling 1.25 fro hero with same activity. I am using blockchain.info
I dont't reduce price as the bitcoin price is also low now
That person is asking 1.25 BTC for his hero account, he will not necessarily get that much. If he wants that much he will likely need to wait a long time. Also what accounts can earn from signature deals is priced in bitcoin, not fiat so the exchange rate will not affect the fiat rate they can earn.

To sign a message, you first need to find a post the account has made (that has not been edited) that contains a BTC address. You then go to receive money on blockchain.info, then click on actions (on the right) for the corresponding address, then sign message, then enter your 2nd password as necessary, then enter the message you are signing, then enter the message you are signing (it should include the current date). Then click on sign message. You will need to provide the post, the address, the message and the signature so the signed message can be verified.

Sorry that I can't do. Very long procedure
I would deal with extreme caution with this person
14428  Economy / Invites & Accounts / Re: [SALE] Hero Member Account on: December 10, 2014, 05:14:53 AM
don't deal with this user

he is refusing to use escrow and wants you to go first
if he is a legit seller he won't mind using escrow but he don't

Can you confirm that you are willing to use escrow (that is trusted by both parties)?

This is also not a self moderated thread

It looks like the minimum to donate is .01 so TXID fc992439fae49241e52eed51327e798c045243f468c4cf69f37fb91b7183f063

Hero accounts generally do not sell very quickly, so any potential buyer should keep that in mind when being pressured to act quickly or to send funds quickly. There is also no real reason for the seller not to accept escrow for these kinds of deals (especially ones worth this much) so any seller not accepting escrow is almost certainly going to scam you.
Is that really the value of a hero account?

Either way prob not a good idea to sell an old account with trust. Scamming potential and what not
Probably. This is roughly what hero accounts go for. Sometimes they will sell for less, but these are generally cases when the seller needs money ASAP and can't wait for a buyer, sometimes they will go for more when there happen to be few/no other legit sellers (that are selling actual accounts - there seems to be a rise in account sellers that are selling non-existant and/or accounts that they do not control) willing to sell.

Hmmm some insight into the underground world of account selling  Cheesy

I wouldn't sell my account unless trust could be removed but if I did I would look for a buyer willing to use trusted escrow.
This is as simple as sending a PM to the people who have left you trust.

14432  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: "Gusti" legendary account was sold and being abused now on: December 09, 2014, 11:23:49 PM
If you're sure the account was sold leave him a trust comment to warn people they are dealing with a different user

Wouldnt make a difference, since these scammers prey on newbies that know no better than only look at the green or red "trust". Fortunately, meanwhile 2 people from the default trust list have rendered the account useless for the scammer, and at the same time pretty much torpedoed the confidence scam they tried to pull off,  that makes me happy.

Looking at the post history of Gusti, I would say there is a good chance that he was trying to further a scam.

I think you should open up a scam accusation against the site/company in question. I am not sure that any "newbie" would be able to make the connection that Gusti is trying to further the website being a scam. Plus someone could have just as easily purchased a "normal" account and then built up/purchased trust to pull off a similar scam. Opening a scam accusation against the website would help anyone potentially buying from the site make the conclusion they are probably a scam and do not actually build any hardware/does not actually exist.

There is a very good chance you will not be getting your account back. Have everyone neg rep the old one and just make a new one for yourself.
Why not?
He provided sufficient proof, did he not?

When was the last time you seen a account restored to the rightful owner even after they provided enough proof?
When Vod's account was hacked
14434  Economy / Services / Re: Up to 0.01 BTC weekly for YOUR SIGNATURE on: December 09, 2014, 09:36:47 PM
We pay 0.001*Activity/50 BTC weekly (max. 0.01 BTC).
your advertising money might be more efficiently spent if you changed your campaign to pay per post so people would want to post more while they are wearing your signature. (Or you could give participants the option of no post minimum or pay per post).

One slot on forum advertising tends to cost ~3-6 btc for ~8 days. To compare prime dice had their signature on almost every active thread when they were open to everyone and they only paid participants around ~25-30 btc per month

That does make this campaign unique. And most of the participants of this campaign do have many posts already on this forum, however some of them will be in old, inactive topics.

I switched signature campaigns today. The last payout of Bitmixer was on the 3rd of December, so I tried to complete the whole week; however, as I already swapped before, I already promoted 1 week in advance, so I don't think that is going to be a problem Wink. (If it is, please contact me Bitmixer.io).

I think this is a great campaign for people who are not very active on these forums. Now I think I do have more time to spend on this forum, I think it's wise for me to use a pay-per-post signature campaign. If this turns out not to be that effective as expected, I'll swap again. I still like this campaign, even if it only pays 0,00896 per week for me Wink.


i agree that this campaign is very unique and it does appeal to people who are not very active. That is why I suggested the option to add an option to get paid per post for more active users. They just tried to spend 24 BTC on 4 forum ad slots but their bid was rejected by theymos, which is why I suggested signature advertising as theymos does not moderate what is advertised on paid signstures and is generally more cost efficient (from what I can see, especially with bigger budgets)

If you think he is enabling a scam then you should make a claim against the scam.

You dismiss that someone will not try to scam if they cannot raise money from selling their account. If they are desperate enough to sell their account then why would they not scam if this avenue is not available? Not everyone that scams is a psychopath, and desperate times call for desperate measures. Has no one ever scammed after acting honestly on here?
14438  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: "Gusti" legendary account was sold and being abused now on: December 09, 2014, 03:50:25 PM
There is nothing wrong with selling your account. If the owner needs money and someone else is willing to pay for an account there is no reason why this transaction would be in any way wrong. Just because someone has completed trades successfully does not change the above, some may say it would be a greater justification for an original owner to selling his account when he needs money as he has previously contributed to the Bitcoin economy.

If you have a problem with a (potentially) sold account having positive trust like this then I would message the person who left the trust to see if they want to have it removed.

If you don't have a problem with the "real" gusti then making this claim is illogical as others in a similar situation as him will have a more difficult time raising money from their account like this as buyers will not be willing to pay as much because of the risk of this happening to them. If they cannot raise money by selling an account then they may resort to trying to scam (which ironically is what you "want" to prevent)

Edit: I will also say the account had almost certainly not been sold in the last 30 days so even if what you are saying is true, it is old news

I have responded to your scam accusation, to which you have not addressed by points/counterclaims. What you are doing is extortion/blackmail. What you are saying is factually false.

You still haven't responded to my response from 5 seconds ago! That must mean you can't address it!!!

Get a life. Just because I haven't responded within minutes doesn't mean I will not address your pathetic questions.

You sell accounts that are under dispute by their original owners which is a red flag for negative reputation. You knew this account was under dispute yet you still sold it to me. I'm simply an unhappy customer who wants their money back due to fraud.

Wait wait. So you are not original owner of this account and you bought it from Op? And then you realized that this account was hacked? That is the story?
The account was not hacked. The account was purchased for Huh reasons, did not try to participate in signature campaigns (as most people who buy accounts will do) and now wants a refund.
