I also confirm that everything works smoothly again. Got mention and merit notification as usual. The merit count continue from before the cloudflare incident happen, though, probably due to the reason stated by TryNinja, and that the total merit received during the down time is not registered by the bot. So people, you might want to manually reset the merit count.

I reported the last of their thread to mod for deletion, hopefully they'll also take further measure by banning the account. Please tell me you use a temporary and disposable account [and password] to test the water?

1. Let's drop point number 1 as we're chasing tails on this topic where the other topics are more intersting to be pursued.

2. For the record, yes, I understand that the value is in gold, where the use of USD is to reflect the price of certain weight of gold. That said and with your explanation, assume you're forced to sell off all of your gold reservoir, what next? Your token equals to 1 gram of gold [just a random example] that equals to 50 USD? This correlate to point number 4, as below,

4. To say a scenario is impossible in crypto is rather dogmatic, isn't it? Nothing is impossible in crypto. Many currencies --that's ironically also the ones you use as your basis and your marketing point-- assure their holders that they're safe. With no intention of providing an apple-to-apple basis but for a mere illustration, UST for example? Or BNB? Or... ones that strike better, all of those dumped and failed token in the past that assures their holders the same, that the scenario of being dumped is not possible because they're something-backed? I can mention a lot and perhaps spent eternity just mentioning cases. So yeah, I have to say that stating the scenario where your token being suddenly dumped is impossible is borderline dogmatic, or at the very least, naïve.

That opinion aired and stated, I am stepping into the matter being discussed in this point, the scenario where your token being completely dumped. You're saying that based on your optimistic calculation, you can only recover about 30-40% of its initial value? So applied to that scenario provided, where initially 100 USD is 150m GRC [GRC USD = 6.67 x 10^-7 or 0.000000667 USD] and it plummeted and dumped 99% of its initial price [again, if you say this is impossible, I'd advise you to take a walk in CMC or CG and see ATH vs ATL of questionable coin] so the new rate will be 100 USD for 15b token^[1], you can only recover 40%, so it's like... 9.33 x 10^-9 or 0.0000000093?

The numbers are not important and can be ignored to avoid confusion. The bottomline is, you can only recover approximately 40% of initial price suppose the token got dumped? And this is a scenario when the price was dumped 99% or was it a calculation based on 50% depreciation? How is this a sense of security?

Moving further, you pump it back as you promised, because this is the security of your token, your assurance that upon a price crash, you'll liquidate the gold to buy back and drive price up. And people know about this, they've anticipated it, so when the price bounced by the liquidated gold, though can't be exactly to it's price before because as you stated, your reservoir will only be able to boost it back to 40% of its initial , they dumped the rest of their token soonest possible because they know price won't go back up as their reservoir, i.e. their safeline, has been completely depleted. Yes, the dumped token will generate a 2% tax that'll be allocated for gold next month. But they cycle begin again and again and again until that 2% is for a minuscule amount of gold. What do you propose? How is this still a sense of security?

5 and 6. Much that I like to assume that your words are inconsistent because you initially said you won't have a legal body, that you don't trust bank and govt. and now you said you'll built a legal body, and that waiting this whole "global power dynamics shift and the world is more decentralised" probably won't happen soon and will take years, if not decade, and most likely your project has ceased to exist before then [either by scenario number 4 or people found better project and lost interest in yours or other reasons], and so on and so on, I prefer to say I probably didn't have a good grasp of your thought. But, as I said, not many people --me included-- have the luxury or the urgency or the need to sit around for hours sifting through your monolog to find the exact explanation, you can help us by point us out to the video explaining exactly these part, down to the minute, from what time to what time, and I'll give my best to spare my time listening to it.

One interesting point that I'll put here as a side note for my own future reference, in case this is not covered on your self-proclaimed "explained in great detail", how do exactly the global economy being monopolized by USA affect your company's legal status in Australia? Each country has their own regulation for legal bodies, irrespective of US govt. power, the downfall of U.S. of A won't likely suddenly make govt. in Australia, or their neighboring countries to be suddenly more decentralized or centralized. I don't think Australia will suddenly more proactive in adopting or suppressing gold-backed crypto because USD is losing its power.

^[1] I made an error on previous post by saying 300m because I hastily use calculator to count it by adding 99% to the equation instead of calculating the real amount, i.e. 1% of the initial price, 100/150m x 1/100]

As previously suggested, it'll be helpful for the forum members if you upload them to an image hosting platforms like talkimg [that's owned by reputable member of this forum] or like imgbb if you prefer, so they can see the image instantly without having to click a link. But, nonetheless, I'll do it for you. Deliberately taking this as a screenshot with visible address bar to prove that the images are as provided by the links above.



They are the same image as you provide throughout your threads and posts. If I may ask again, can you please explain how Stake, in your educated opinion, use these sensors to cheat their users?

Can this be considered a nice merit record?

Hmm... I was a bit intrigued by this case too. I happened to follow that thread you referred and read that post too before it got migrated to limbo, so I know it was there. But it's not archived by ninjastic too, how likely is it that ninjastic also affected by cloudflare and couldn't scrap some posts?

If it helps, though perhaps a bit overkill, I archived the search result for that thread, just in case we finally got the cloudflare issue and the post suddenly... reemerged. LOL.


It's actually quite fun, almost feels like walking in the dark because we know nothing about our surrounding and have to check everything manually. Suddenly my merit became this number, and then that number, all without any notification; I only noticed people replied to my post because that thread bumped in the watchlist/new-replies, while my phone is completely silent. Feels like, though temporarily, thrown back to stone age, LOL. It's nice to be reminded every now and then what I take for granted, I'm really grateful for the bot.

So you're sending us... a private google drive folder files where we have to submit a request for you to grant access? Yeah, no thanks. Upload whatever that is to talkimg, it's owned by forum's reputable member, dedicated for this forum, so I am quite confident with their neutrality.

Jumping in from your other thread where a quite nice explanations of motion sensor has been answered and explained by couple of members. I am curious to know more, though, since you did not reply us there on how do you propose they utilize motion sensor to cheat their user, so I gave this thread a thorough read, and thought that link to screenshot above would help me understand you better. But, it's no longer exist. So... how is it, again?

Quoted in full for future reference.

You're disappointed because someone unearthed the fact that your platform use fake reviews and fake customer support profile pictures, and your defense to justify it was that you've invested so much on this platform and you may have "stretched the truth" slightly? Slightly?

Am I correct to understand you perceive fake reviews which said --and will lead gullible people to believe-- your project has been around at least for four times longer than it actually is, and customer supports that's not even existed yet because, "The pictures of the support staff and some reviews will be replaced with real personal once I've acquired them" as something that's should be accepted?

Further, how exactly can you hire --and thus, prioritize-- marketing team --implying, though not necessarily means, more than one person-- instead of customer support? Which kind of strategic planning is this? Why can't you hire a single person as your customer service, especially as you said you've invested so much on it? Or, since the customer support team is currently nonexistent and you seemingly handled them yourself, why don't you just use your picture instead of using fake profiles?

Last, I also understand correctly that these numbers are also "slightly stretched"?

About escrow, this probably is the worst part of OP's situation. Back in March, upon being informed and having the projects they managed turning south, they promised that they'll only manage escrowed campaign from that point forward, and the specific assurance of pi4ur bounty was, as screenshotted below,

All signs point to it, that the article is to promote mycoinexchange. The writer proposed five exchanges, those are:

1. mycoinexchange - enough said
2. smartmix - which archived four days ago as a mixer, but as per today's archive, by me, shows a completely different... page [also read last part of Potato Chips' post above this]



3. bitblender - inaccessible tor page
4. chipmixer - as stated by Potato Chips above this
5. cryptomixer - as stated by Potato Chips above this

First, wrong board. Second, my eyes can't probably rolls higher than it did when I read this post. The fact that you're paid or not by the project is not the whole point of everybody's reply on this thread.

You've been warned several times that you made a poor judgment on selecting bounty campaigns, that you directly enabling scammers to scam crypto community by facilitating and promoting them through the bounty you managed. The communities did their contribution to point out the suspicios aspects of those projects, each of your project had their own scam accusation thread published by several members, which seems to fell to deaf ears, I even sent you a DM and invite you to discuss the matter thoroughly when you still use your ahmim pseudonym --which evading ban, by the way, another violation of the forum-- of which you only replied with a simple dismissive answer.

And now when you finally did not get your payment, you cried and complained here? What about your bounty participants in the past? Or worse, those gullible investors who put their money and lost it on those projects you campaigned? Are those not important to you managed to get some money from them and only this one is crucial because you directly got "scammed" too? I honestly can't fathom how can you sleep at night with these.

How? I don't think Vlad2Vlad would have known if the original owner of the account sold his account and/or got hacked.


Ok, now that's awesome. I. Am. Impressed. I'll be showering you with way more than 2 merits if you're not on legendary already.

Well, OP, I am quite sure hugeblack is reasonable and doesn't have any malicious intent. If you can explain your situation and prove yourself, I think he'll be more than happy to remove the tag.

[Former] treasurer, as stated and deleted on this archived post, not sure if he mean he's the CFO or simply the one holding all the funds. He's still a part of a team and active in 2019, though. And the way I understood from his timeline explanation, he had to take hiatus from 2018-2023, pseudo-awake in 2021, due to family issue.

That'll probably be a bit problematic, I can't find OP posted any address in the past other than the one he made this week enrolling on several campaigns and seems completely new.

The merit history, though, provided something that's quite interesting and worth scrutinizing, thanks lovesmayfamilis for that. For example, though Ninjastic and Loyce's archiever didn't perfectly cover that far in the past, so I have to take a ballpark, this merit is likely belongs to this post in the cluster,



While these two belongs to a well archived one,




Or maybe I was wrong, after all, I am not that talented on digging evidences from the past, there are far better members on this field. But, I don't think it mattered much. One thing that caught my eyes is that OP said this,


BPIP data said this, which correspond with the dates above,



One interesting thing I found from the archived post was that OP is active on ixcoin as a treasurer in 2019. I thought you're too busy for family and personal problem, OP? And how exactly being a treasurer for a project can be considered as a poor quality that you deleted all of the post related to ixcoin? Can you please explain these?

I think they use it for the mobile users, to help them detect the screen rotation. And as it embedded on their coding, it applied to the desktop version as well.

Just because you're hell-bent on that idea, I'd like to know more how do you theorize that it works on manipulating bets. Please elaborate more so people can get a better grasp of your proposal.

Meanwhile, not a tech geekie that I am, I need to resort to other intelligence, so I approached the closest available to me right now, namely AI, below is a generated response from ChatGPT:


Given Stake is licensed and regulated, I think it's safe to assume they passed all the audit conducted on the safety and cheat-free of their platform. I mean, the word even written by yourself on your opening post, though turned around, they're provably fair. I think they'll more than welcome you and anyone to test this, the full guide and explanation is here.

To be fair, OP is not the same one --hopefully-- with the user who raised a complaint about 10,500 XRP, he's just there commenting with a completely unrelated and oot post.

Umm... not sure if it's just me, but I tried to access the clearnet through mobile browser and switch them to desktop version, it worked on mozilla-based browser, but on chrome and brave --i.e. chromium-based-- it's stuck on site verification step, the captcha won't stop circling and won't let me proceed to the page, instead it'll just keep refreshing the page. Switching back to mobile version solved it, and accessing through mozilla-based works fine both on mobile and desktop-version. I tried them both on my tablets [plural] and my phone, both on normal and incognito tab, everything brought the same result.

HousebetsIo, as OP is locked from his account and can't provide any screenshot, you got his permission as stated above to post his betting history and other info you deemed necessary for this case on both of your and his behalf. I urged you to provide this so the community can get a better understanding of the magnitude of the bug brought to you and how much OP "stole" from you, as well as providing proof that OP ever [or never] bet $0.01 or $0.02 thus, the risk-free allegation.

For OP, my apology, I misunderstood what acroman08 tried to explain to me before. I understand correctly now that whatever outcome you have on your --and your wife's-- bet, you'll still get some "rakeback"? In other words, its either you got a winning and doubled your money, or you got your initial bet "refunded" by $0.02. So suppose you have $80.00 and wagered $2.00 [in btc], and you lose, your remaining balance will be $78.02 instead of $78.00, while if you win, your balance will be $82.00?

Pure curiosity and not necessarily related to the topic above, can we actually bet $0.01-0.02?

I haven't read your other thread about Stake being... a family run scam business, and as I am not a tech geekie, I have to resort to a quick search at the internet about motion sensor, some explains that it's implemented on tablets and phones to help determine the screen orientation through gyrometer etc., help enhancing gaming experience by translating touches and gestures into action [temple run, anyone?], fitness app tracking, but one that explains quite nicely about brave in desktop, that blocking motion sensor from a website that doesn't need a motion sensor by logical reason [pizza hut for that case, stake for this case] is this snippet, that hopefully could help provide readers some insight:


I didn't read to the bottom of the page, but I think we have our answer why stake asked for it: to detect if you're bot or human.

So in other words, no matter what the outcome of the bet OP played, he'll be credited with some BTC? To OP and to HousebetsIo, can you both confirm this?

Further, to HousebetsIo, if you can provide the screenshot of OP's betting history containing this allegation of cheating [suppose it didn't perceived as a breach of privacy and/or both you and OP are comfortable sharing it] it'll work good to completing our puzzle.

Nonetheless, if what's above is true, that OP played a game where he'll never lose funds, be it he got a losing or winning bet, then I think the best outcome for both party right now is for HouseBets to return OP's deposit [without the winning] and both of you take separate way. Sounds unfair for the platform, some might argue, but I'll say it's a well deserved path as OP indirectly point out a bug. While those who think it's unfair for the OP because OP gain some "honest" amount through his winning, well, OP cheated too, so the middle way is to remove everything altogether
