If this is true then it is almost certain that he is correct. He almost certainly used some kind of IP evidence and if you are too cheap/stupid to use a VPN then your alts will easily be tied to your identity. Although there are two other potential/theoretical way that he could have made the connection if you tried using TOR with your scamming/extorting account, one would be that you dumb enough to ask for payment to an address that is connected to one of your known addresses, the other is something I'd rather not say

I think the various marketplace sections would be appropriate for these kinds of offers.

All offers should accept Bitcoin as a payment method.

是的，我现在还在销售账户。你有没有兴趣买一个

This is really not how group buys usually work. A group buy is generally when one person looks funds in order to buy a large number of a product (on this forum it would almost be miners) the person facilitating the group buy would receive the large number of miners and then reship them to individual buyers. This results in everyone being able to receive a volume discount.

What you appear to be done is closer to a timeshare

I will PM it to you. It was from a user, although the user is somewhat close to the admins.

I think you are right about the farming accounts, although I checked maybe ~1.5 months ago and none but maybe 2 or 3 out of 50+ received any kind of negative trust/scam accusation, although I don't think the whole bayuo/zedicus case is helping my cause.

I am talking about the activeness as in participating and contributing to the community (like answering questions and contributing to discussions) as my alts that I have for sale/are making posts to get to higher ranks do this(one account that I am farming even got a very special reward), while I only have one that will generally report posts.

I don't think his reports were an annoyance. His reports were good and helped the mods enforce the rules. This is also not what I was asking. I was asking about actual helpful posts not bad post reports

As long as the box has ~105 lbs of oranges macro should be safe from default. Plus Oranges are very good for you

This could potentially take over a month and a half to hit if posting trends continue. October only saw ~363k posts and November saw ~418 posts.

Out of curiosity, how active were most staff members prior to being asked? Does he he count alt accounts?

I am not familiar with the pgp key program that you are using however it looks like you might not be including the entire message. In order to properly verify if a pgp signature matches you will need to copy everything from "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----" up until "-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----" in order to check a signature.

I can say that I checked the signature and it checked out for me.

According to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=mlist there are roughly ~381k registered members. 171/381=.44881 so it is closer to 44.8% (45%).

There is no guarantee that paypal will actually approve the chargeback. The person scamming will fight the chargeback, if they lose then they lose nothing because they gave nothing to the buyer and if they win the chargeback dispute then they will have gotten paypal funds for nothing, and will launder/withdraw the funds.

You should use escrow and have the escrow withhold the bitcoin to the buyer for one day.

If you are not willing to use escrow then you are doing nothing more then attempting to scam. It is not guaranteed that paypal will approve the chargeback if a claim is filed.

This will give you an idea as to how many total accounts have been active in a 7 day period and how many unique users were active in the last 7 days (active as in logged in and viewed threads).

From ~Oct 30 - ~Nov 12 (both 2014), roughly 171k users were active from ~151k IP addresses (IP addresses appear to include people who never logged in).

The forum does not moderate scams and they will not moderate any potential scam, nor does it moderate the trust system (contrary to what some people who were previously on default trust would want you to believe).

I do think the numerous banner ads are somewhat spammy though, and they should be removed.

There are a number of what are essentially duplicate posts made several times throughout the thread. I have reported one of the posts to a moderator via the "report to moderator" button on the bottom right of the post and mentioned that many of the posts in the thread have similar issues.

If I had to guess he probably ended up getting banned once badbear was able to see how many of his shitposts got deleted by various moderators (plus how many of his posts that haven't been deleyed are shitposts )

Do you have any proof? I assume that you do not because he did not and you are spreading FUD

His account is probably worth closer to 2-3 BTC as there is somewhat of a limit as to what people will be willing to pay for an account because there are some legit reasons why people would want a trusted account and there are serious risks of trying to scam with a trusted account (if they are caught then the account instantly becomes worthless).

@OP would you be willing to come down on your asking price at all? .9 BTC is pretty steep considering the lack of signature campaigns right now.

No, unless you give some kind of evidence as to what happened, the community will default to the moderators as I can assure you that they know the rules much better then you.

Searching the modlog I discovered that two of your replies to "Major Flaw in Security" were deleted, and looking through the thread it appears that it was the reply about you commenting on macrotheminer's "bump" being a constructive post and you replying to someone else's comment confirming that a bump is allowed every 24 hours (one of which I reported for being signature spam - I am pretty sure). If this is what you are complaining about then whoever deleted your post was ~70% correct in their actions as you post had nothing to do with the OP of the subject thread.
