bump
Out of curiosity, what would something like my account be worth? Legendary, high activity/post count, in the default trust list. Not that I plan to sell, but at least then I can give my wife a value for the time I spend here.  That is hard to say for sure. The market for those accounts are certainly smaller then lower level accounts. I have one listed for sale for I believe 3.5 BTC but it has been on the market for a while now. I have gotten a few low ball offers and one offer for as much as 2.5 BTC but he ended up lowering his offer (which I find to be negotiating in bad faith) and the deal fell through. I would say it would probably be somewhere between 2.5 and 3.5 BTC. The real value is from signature campaigns as you could earn actual income from your account by having an advertisement in your signature. The lowest you would potentially earn is usually .1 BTC per month for 50 posts, and the higher paying campaigns can pay .0013 BTC per post, sometimes with a limit of a few hundred posts per month. |

If it is a VIP account then the username can be changed. If it is a VIP account then I would be very much interested.
Otherwise no so

Hey everyone! Whether you're buying a new phone for your daughter or selling your wife's camera, protect yourself this holiday season with Devscrow.
This is very true. Especially with the irreversible nature of bitcoin and the fact that both the holidays and bitcoin tends to bring out scammers. Dev is very professional (and just escrowed another deal for me) and is able to protect you from scams as escrow. |

I have funded escrow for one of the OP's accounts. I will update to advise if the OP is waiting other's time or is actually legit.

I believe that it actually means Original Post (although it can sometimes mean the person who made the Original post when referring to a specific person - however I tend to think of it the actual post more then the person).

How much would you want for it?
Is it actually Apple Store or iTunes (they are not interchangeable - which is stupid)

I am also willing to trade them for a good Hero account.
one hero account is worth much more then two senior accounts. It is probably worth at least 5-6x as much as one senior. |

So when bitching, moaning, and obnoxiousness doesn't work, you switch tactics to sweet-talking lol
Sorry dude, this is irreparable damage. "Forgetting" you did all those things is a rather weak excuse. I'd say just make a new account and start clean again.
He tried that. He made several new accounts after he complained. BadBear neg repped them all yesterday (I think it was 3 newly made ones and two others - maybe purchased) |

Seems legit.
The Nigerian prince must have passed away recently.

You once told me (I think it was via your admitted alt, Ejaculation) that you are a kid trying to earn enough money to buy a car. I do not know if this is true or not but I do know that your maturity level is that of a kid. You have a lot to learn about doing business, acting professional, and how to treat your community.
If you were willing to try to extort someone without even trying to hide your identity, I can only imagine what other horrible things you have done to others or what you will try to do to others in the future. I think you probably are in serious need of professional help.
Also does this mean that you are going to leave our community?

I was under the impression that this was received well over a year ago. Are you able to disclose specifically what was requested (e.g. a copy of the subpoena) and/or specifically what was provided (a copy of your response)? EDIT: I think this person pretty much got what happened to SR1 spot on: It would be easy to trace store using forensic methods, for someone with enough determination, manpower, resources, and time. Unfortunately, when it comes to opiates, the government has an amost infinite supply of all 4 of those. As long as only a small number of stores springs up they would be wiped out immediately and never reach critical mass.
And I wonder if this post was what inspired Ross to start SR The original idea was one where all transactions are conducted over a website only accessible via Tor. This part has been viable for years - it's always the money part that makes it risky for both the seller and the buyer.
The parts involving mail and double-sending drugs are ways to make the business scale, and make it work globally. They give plausible deniability to those receiving drugs.
I see lots of comments in this thread that "it would never work" and "the feds will come after you", but nothing detailing a specific way that they would detect who was mailing the drugs or running the business. The closest anyone came was Babylon, who suggested that the police might stake out all mailboxes in the area the packages came from, but that 's easily diffused: Locating the business in New York City, with 100k(?) public mailboxes would do the trick, or using common packaging like business envelopes.
(And to those that don't understand the concept of a thought experiment: No, I'm not actually planning to start a heroin store.)

If the accounts are only posting on his threads and they are alts of him then he is effectively getting bumps that he should not get (assuming they post more then once per day).
I also notice that most of his feedback is from people who report risking bitcoin (meaning they sent first) but I don't see any indication of him sending feedback to any kind of escrow services (implying that escrow was not used). I would somewhat doubt that that many people would be willing to send first with him without escrow - his trust level is not that high.

• You must have administrator access on the computer, because you’ll have to install some programs to be able to do the work. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, that’s all right. Basically you have to own a computer or borrow your parent’s computer. If you only have access to an internet café, a school computer or similar, we sadly can’t offer you a job at this time.
This is how malwares are installed. If you go for it, install the software in a virtual machine where you won't type personal info like password or private keys. Otherwise you might be the next one crying because your wallet was stolen and your account hacked exactly thats how it will work.. imagine why he need a "KID" to do this kind of job  It could ofcourse mean that he wants to scam someone but his intentions are good. I don't know what you consider being a "child", that may be a good thing to put in the OP. Someone who is naive enough to install 1 GB worth of software from a random person claiming to be hiring them from a forum that has a large number of people keeping large amounts of money on their computer. |

He asked me for a .01 loan via PM that would be secured by 10,000 DOGE, which at the time was worth ~.0065 BTC. I explained to him that is not how collateral loans work and that he would need to offer collateral that is worth more then the loan amount, he said that he would try to get more DOGE to be able to borrow .01 BTC.
Maybe an hour or two after that he PM'ed me again saying that he "lost" the doge from paying back a friend 8.5k DOGE and gambling the rest.
At first I thought that he simply did not understand how collateral loans work but by the end of my encounter with him, I believed that he was trying to scam me out of ~.0035 or potentially pull some kind of larger scam.

You are offering ~5% of what would be earned via bitfinex and I think it would be very unlikely that interest rates would crash that low.
the current rate is 0.07% a day i see, suppose you could offer this swap 24/24, 7/7 (which is far from certain) you'll get less than 0.50% a week, I'm offering 0.20% a week, far more than 5% of bitfinex. i may have made a mistake here but you are still making much less lending to you then you would on bitfinex based on your numbers 2.5 times as much on bitfinex Edit: also I believe you can set it up so anytime a swap is closed bitfinex will automatically open a new swap at the flash rate so you can lend 24/7 /edit If you pay a standard fee of .0001 and lend you .5 then it would take a week to make the fee back in interest.
0.5 * 0.2/7% = 0.000143 a day (on average if you are lending usd), it takes you less than 1 day to earn the tx fee of 0.000143, not a week... so loaning small amounts is still possible but if nobody wants to do that, fine... your math is flawed. If you are offering .02% per week (as you stated for your btc/ltc rate) then you will earn .0001 btc per week if someone lent .5 btc. Your minimum however is much lower then that and from what I have seen you are more likely to attract lenders who can afford to lend less then .5 btc (based on amounts available for lending on other lenders' threads). I also do not see the point of you borrowing potentially small amounts like this. You claim to be buying Bitcoin on an exchange in order to borrow Bitcoin that you will then sell on an exchange and will proceed to buy Bitcoin on an exchange to repay the loan. |

I don't know about the current fees there, but yes, but what if bitcoin value goes down hugely? Then you are screwed if you are on bitfinex, you can lend out your bitcoin, you don't have to lend your fiat. what if bitfinex runs away with everything... what are you going to do, visiting their fake offices in HK to ask your btc back ? The same is said with any escrow that is used but bitfinex has a longer history then most escrow providers and they also have more experience holding much more money then any escrow provider. If I'm right fees can change there and swaps cancelled all the time giving you a much lower intrest than you expect now. With me you don't have those risk so i think my intrest rates are fair The interest rate market is stable enough for this to not be an issue. You are offering ~5% of what would be earned via bitfinex and I think it would be very unlikely that interest rates would crash that low. + if amounts or not that small you don't have to use fees to send bitcoin and for smaller amounts like 5mbtc (min. to loan me) a fee of 0.01 mbtc is also enough to confirm which is earned back in a few days with USD loan and some websites offer free withdrawals
If you pay a standard fee of .0001 and lend you .5 then it would take a week to make the fee back in interest. This is the lowest amount that someone can break even after paying the TX fee in a week with your interest rates. If a fee is not included then it could take a long time to confirm and seeing how you are with offering fair terms I would say there would be a good chance you would claim it is taking too long to confirm and would send the funds back....with a fee (that would then now be required for the miners to likely confirm - not enough bitcoin days destroyed to qualify for a free TX) |

Campaign will be launching within a week for hero/senior/legendary members. It will then be opened for full/member/jr shortly after.
We have a new payment system that will pay per post and depending on what forum section (Posting in some forum sections will get you more per post than others). The whole process will be fully automated and payments will be made weekly. We will be able to track users characters per post and easily ban spammers from the campaign. Hilariousandco (Bitcointalk mod) will be monitoring all participants and will be ensuring the quality of the forum is not lowered by participants.
We're setting a 50 BTC/month budget on this campaign so we are looking for a lot of people to sign up.
you may or may not have thought of this but I would be sure to exclude anything in quotes (like a quoted message) as this will make it look like you are posting more then you really are if you quote a long message. I am not 100% sure how you would do this (little programming experience) but I wouldn't think it would be that difficult. For example someone quoting the post that I quoted here and added only "this is good" should certainly be considered spam but would appear to be much longer if the quoted text is not excluded. |

You will need to put up actual collateral if you want any lender to consider this loan.
There is nothing about the lender seeing what you are doing with the money that will force and/or incentivice you to repay the lender.

.02% per week? That is well under the daily rate on bitfinex. It would also not even cover the tx fees on smaller loans.
This is also a duplicate thread.

Maybe the ban was awarded because he was giving out dangerous advice to a potential suicide member on this thread: And god whatever you do, don't result to pharmaceutical antidepressants.
Wow, I cannot believe you just wrote this. What would happen if the guy is genuinely suicidal and taking medication and decides to take your "advice", and something bad happens because of it? Probably not, but antidepressants can actually increase the risk of suicide for some people. They also effectively change your personality/the way you think, so some could say that antidepressants (along with mood stabilizers and others) can change who you are as a person. |
