i sent you a pm

yes. It looks like it was the above sample. I am very impressed. Great work!

My personal favorite color is blue, but I am open to the signatures having other colors. I want the participant to be creative in making their own text. Like I said in my OP, I want it to focus on the ability of people to potentially be able to earn a lot via participating in a pay per post signature campaign. A detailed quote of the theme is below:
Although I do have reservations with doing business with someone who admitted to extorting someone, you do have my word that I will give you a fair chance, however I am not going to outright buy your template as I want to have the opportunity to see others' submissions to be able to purchase the best one.

Like I said in my OP, I agree to pay .08 for any submission that I buy, however I am willing to pay more for an exceptionally good submission (potentially .1 or more, but I do not want to make any promises that I do not know I will keep yet)

I don't really like the colorful one, but the other one does somewhat interest me, however I am not sure how you would edit it to meet my "themes". If I were to see a prototype, then I might be interested (don't post the actual BB codes, but rather post a screen shot of the result to prevent others from stealing your work.

EDIT: the non-colorful one would probably not be worth .15 to me, however it may be potentially be worth more then the .08 then I am offering per purchased set. (I am more interested in the non-red theme, then the negative trust theme if you only want to create one)

Hmmm....I am curious to know how you report so many posts. Per above you reported ~1k posts since you were promoted which was only a few months ago and works out to ~10 per day or ~300 per month

I am up to ~315 right now, still with a 91% accuracy rating, and do the same with multiple reports on one thread. Maybe it has to do with the lack of signature deals making me post less in general, which means I find less potential reports

Geeze, that is a lot of reports.

When you report a post in a thread, but see other bad posts, do you say to look at the other posts, or do you report all of the posts in the thread (for example for multiple undeleted bumps)? The same goes for someone spamming and their post history....do you report one post and make a note in the report that they have a history of spamming, or so you report all of the shit/spam posts?

Hero members actually cost a little bit more then that, however their value is a lot less then the amount of free advertising that crypto mine is going to get by using a "hero" as "escrow"

Signature BB code designers:

I am thinking about starting a small signature campaign promoting my sales thread, which can be found here. My problem is that I do not have a signature to have potential participants "wear".

This is where you come in! I am willing to offer a .08 BTC bounty for a set of signatures that I will own the exclusive right to use (and potentially reuse/sell). I am looking to use potentially two themes, which means I can potentially select two winners (or if one person creates two sets that I like then one person can win the bounty twice). Note that I may choose to buy only one theme if I feel that will be desirable. I may increase the bounty if I decide this is what the market warrants, and if I receive an exceptionally good design then I may decide to pay more then .05 BTC.

I need signatures for the following rankings:

• Full Member
• Senior Member
• Hero Legendary

My first theme will be around the fact that people with Red/negative trust cannot generally participate in signature campaigns. I am interested in something alongs the lines of it saying: "have negative trust, buy an account to participate in a signature campaign". If I decide to go this route then my campaign will be geared to people who have negative trust, so you can incorporate that as well. You can use your creativity.

My second theme will revolve around the fact that you can earn a decent income from participating in a pay per post signature campaign. Do not mention specific rates, nor specific campaigns, but rather the general fact that a good income can be made from pay per post campaigns. You can mention the fact that participants can receive a 10% discount by mentioning the signature advertisement. You can also include the fact that you can buy a senior account for .4 BTC by mentioning the signature ad (please do not mention both, only include the discount or the special price - also please design the BB code so that both the percentage discount and the price can be easily changed if I decide to do so).

Both themes should link back to my sales thread (the link is at the top of this post). Both themes should include my username (as well as a link to send me a PM).

Please note that I have noticed that several of my competitors have taken major points from my sales thread OP (and my bumps) and incorporated such information in their own threads. As a result I would recommend against posting the actual BB code as a reply, but to rather post a screen shot of what each signature will look like (if you need help with this then send me a PM and I will be happy to help). If you do post the BB code, or use the BB code in your submission post and someone else steals it, then that is not my responsibility.

This contest will run for either one or two weeks, however if I receive an exceptional submission that I decide I want to buy before then, I reserve the right to end the contest early.

Thank you for your time.

EDIT: one other thing is that if you are able to offer any suggestions as far as the design of my OP on my sales thread, they would be greatly appreciated and would earn you a few "brownie" points when selecting a potential winner (you can post suggestions on the thread itself).

It is not certain that this is a hacked account. No new information has come out about the sale of this account. The other thread in meta got a lot more attention then this thread has gotten

Fair point. Although they may have lost a good amount of money recently (this is speculation) as they had said they could potentially mix several hundred BTC though an exchange per day by depositing and then withdrawing from an exchange, and bitstamp recently disabled withdrawals unless your identity is verified. There were a few anon reports complaining about bitstamp not allowing withdrawals on unverified accounts (I always though this was them)
Another speculation would be that many users of illegal dark net sites will often use sites like bitcoin fog and bit mixer to obscure the source of their bitcoin when they deposit funds (or withdraw funds) from these sites. Although there are many other legit uses he may not want to advertise such a service so soon after receiving a subpoena for evidence in the Ulbright trial.

If it were me making the decision it would be because their identity is well hidden and people could potentially send large amounts of money to them at one time, sometimes with the expectation they will not get anything back from them for a long time (and may not check to make sure funds were received for days). This would potentially make it easy for them to straight up steal money from their customers.

While BFL was certainly a scam, they did not straight up steal in this way.

That report only refers to people who have used an illegal drug in the past month. I was referring to using some kind of illegal drug anytime in their life.

For example someone who experiments with a drug at only one point in their life could potentially become addicted, while someone could experiment some kind of illegal drug once in their life and then stop

I am not familiar with what blockchain.info looked like back then, but I would say it is safe to say this would probably be enough to say it was a phishing site (although it does look very different then it does now).

There is still the possibility that it was registered by someone who was not best friends of the founder of PB mining.

Also just because the founder was scamming does not mean PBmining itself is a scam (although I still think it probably is). For example one of the founders/officers of BFL was a felon (he ran something to do with gambling that was illegal) but I don't think the fact that BFL was a scam had anything to do with him.

I am not sure why you are trying to label me as such a scammer. If I was going to scam you then I would not have given you anything after you sent me 1.1 BTC for your account without escrow (assuming you are the same person that purchased the account from me).

You appear to be making good on your threat on trying to ruin my business if I did not pay you 1.1 BTC that you are not due.

If you put fake/random information when registering the domain, wouldn't the archive show the fake information?
Do you have an archive of the actual site? Like I said above, I might speculate that PB mining was registering a domain that would redirect to their cloud mining website. Or maybe they he was domain harvesting. Just because he has a close name to 'blockchain.info' does not mean he used it to scam.

I am really playing devils advocate here. I don't think there is enough that would show that PB mining is trustworthy enough for me to trust them with my money while entering a 5 year agreement.

Well another possibility is that they purchased the domain with the intention of having it redirect to their pbmining website. Although this would be questionable in regards to ethics, it would be far from scamming. (does anyone have evidence this is one of many blockchain.info phishing sites?).

I think the person who can prove that a major cloud mining company is scamming will receive a level of trust and respect that cannot be manipulated, and as a result many people spend a lot of effort trying to uncover evidence of such.

I personally think that most/many of the cloud mining companies are scamming, and would not trust any of them with my money, however I do not think this is proof they are a scam (or that they were a scam, or that their founder scammed in the past) 

Can't you pretty much put any/random information when registering a domain? (I may be wrong on this).

Do you think it would be possible that the person who registered he fishing site used PBmining's info to make them look bad?

I know that there are a large number of cloud mining sites that probably are a scam one way or another. Short of having a whistleblower inside the company I don't think anyone is going to be able to provide proof of such until they decide to scam and stop paying.

I am sorry sir, but you need to prove your claims, it is not up to me to prove my innocence.

You are correct. I do own a lot of accounts but none of them (none that I have for sale) have posed here. Also there are only 9 accounts besides you and me that have posted here, even if they were all my shills, that is hardly a lot. Plus the majority of the accounts that have posted have been neutral to the situation.

EDIT: I also don't need to use shills because my argument is valid and logical.

There does seem to be a bit of signature spam however they are not taking sides

I think I may know which account you are selling (don't worry, your secret is safe).

If I am right about which account you are selling then I would use caution as your identity is attached to the account, and a great deal of damage could be done with your account considering how much trust it has. You could potentially be blamed for any scam that is used with the account. I might suggest having some of your trust feedback removed from your account in order to somewhat prevent this.

While I do respect and understand your situation, I think the sale of accounts with that much trust can be a negative.

There are actually only 301 legendary members, out of roughly 385,000, therefore legendary members make up less then 1% of the population.

No you should not trust what they say or factor in the fact that they are a legendary member when making a determination if they should be trusted.
