Yes, a little frustrating - I know the creator is very active and making changes, adding features and adding coins.. I think people are starting to use this exchange more and more, leading to typical growing pains many have. I'm working on the assumption that Tristan knows what he is doing and is getting everything in order, he certainly is very active and busy.

Update & Questions

We now have windows qt (Pompobit) and mac os qt (thesamson) maintainers, who have each released stable current versions of insanity coin. I would like to donate 400 WOLF to each of them from the supply, with an additional 200 WOLF to Pompobit, as he worked for days to fix Litecoins [ulr]https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/issues/111]issue 111[/url] for us, something which ensure we have a new stable wallet, and something nobody else has done yet that I'm aware of. If nobody objects with a fair reason, I will allocate and send the WOLF to them tomorrow.

As a community, is this ann thread enough to keep up to date with Insanity Coin? If not what community resources would you like? (twitter, subreddit, website, blog, all of the above?)

Finally, a quick heads up that investment from the east is coming to the project to purchase wolf, support translation and promotion, and support it longer term (long after the 9 week trading game / distribution phase), expect updates in due course.

Ann updated.

Best Regards and thanks for your support and interest so far.

thanks online and processing orders again

All,

I went in to great technical depth to find Raj in the first instance. After finding him and being very sceptical at first, I've consulted all information provided, I've even had unattended access to his full server which houses his own websites and visacoin.info.

I am 99.9% sure that Raj is not the scammer, there is a small 0.1% chance he is, but judging by his transparency I'm quite sure that he is just another victim in all of this, and deserves to be treated as one. He's had a tough 24 hours, and there is nothing which points to what he is saying as being false. Are we suggesting that before purporting any scam he had a full email conversion with himself? that he didn't use any of his own bitcoin in the scam? that ..

Sadly though, that is as far as we can go down technical paths to do with the domain / website / hosting to try and track the scammer, the only people who have any chance of helping us are the bitcointalk mods.

Okay, I've checked everything I possible. There is no conclusive anything, no logs, no anything.

The only one thing is this:



The folder test was created at 02:48:29 2/26/2014 UTC, which sets the timezone as -08:00, USA.

Australia is UTC+8, which means that the files were uploaded around 12:20-12:35 on the 3rd January, which ties in with what raj has said, and the emails.

It is my opinion that Raj is telling the truth, and we have no way of telling who our scammer is

Thank you Raj for your time and patience. Please let the community know how much you are also owed, and we'll find a way to reimburse you, or ideally get funds from the scammer, should we find him.

I said this a few months ago when Vitalik was writing the paper, it was my first and only comment. You wrote the problem and the answer above.

never thought this would be relevant: http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/imagebuzz/terminal01/2010/4/1/18/3-invisible-dicks-23149-1270159242-22.jpg

There's nothing in there which can be identifiable.

1) Did "visacoin" upload anything to the domain?
2) If not, do you have the logs from the first day? It stands to reason that the first person who was not you to see the domain was "visacoin", thus their ip will be the first not-you ip in the logs from the 3rd/4th january.

The logs from a month after the scam, email headers form gmail which shows no ip, really do not help. All you have showed here is continued evidence of you buying, creating, and providing everything to do with visacoin.

If you don't have the time or info to collect this information, feel free to send me the admin details for that hosting, I'll be quick and discreet and get the info if it's there (I've hosted websites for 15 years on a variety of boxes)

Sincerely trying to help you and the community here, need something more to go on.

commenting purely because there's no upvote.

cannot beat either the quote or pedrog's reply.

no, and not just, all of those coins could be in circulation and have past through many hands, we all may own some of them, if just means gox doesn't have btc to give some people (lot's of people) if that figure is correct.

just how the hell they couldn't notice that there wallet(s) and account balance(s) were out by 750,000 for several years is beyond me though.. or just how we are expected to believe that more than 750,000 was still held on gox after all their stupidity the recent years..

this really does not add up.

erm we just went to do a withdraw and the wallet is empty.. okay how much is out? ... 750,000 <--- does not happen, unnoticed.

you've seen http://www.scribd.com/doc/209050732/MtGox-Situation-Crisis-Strategy-Draft yes?
+snap on the comment lol

So every journalist will start reading at 750k bitcoins and stop reading at "set back for 5-10 years" - thanks for that strategy writer

when I see "technically unavailable" I think "dropped the cold storage wallet in a fish tank"

this is either very complex fraud or very simple technical stupidity, or both.

edit: damn both, according to the strategy document

I've seen that a lot today, where the source of this number, and any proof at all it's even partially real?

edit: oh yeah

no comment lol, please don't spoil all my fun, was thinking about the platform not the currency

btc pot at 28 BTC after 2 days, 4 to go, going offline for the night at circa 01:30 UTC.

I was thinking more along the lines of the first 3rd generation coin, why aim low with novelty stuff. How about mounting the whole thing on the www with a decentralized exchange running on top of blockchains, in browser mining, share mining pay walls, vote based distributed whaling where the wolf pack works as together with votes as a whale.. something a little more innovative. May as well raise the bar a little.. we don't want to be stuck in c++ clients forever putting trust in exchanges all our life do we?

they're still worth $500 and gox may as well be gone in the middle of a media shit storm, if they're 500 on the worst day... also many see it as a weak unstable party leaving the community, which makes it stronger and more stable

today is a good day.

Probably, but I personally feel it's a little too early, let's give it a couple of weeks, ideal time would be just as the supply runs dry.

mini update:

• pot at 24, on target nicely to hit or break 100 this week
• discussing wolf with some larger chinese investors I know and organizing translation
• starting to be convinced I should iteratively develop insanitycoin with some very unique features to ensure longevity

tldr; feeling this coin may end up being my full time job for the next year or so

I have done a taint analysis on the bitcoins you ordered, they are not linked in any way to the btc pot for visa coin.

I'm very tempted to believe you here Raj.

Please help the community out here and grab all log files from visacoin.info in to a zip for us to analyse, the odds are the scammers ip address will be in there, and traceable somehow online (didn't take long to find you!)

Best, and of course apologies for any stress involved.

I think we just need the mods to confirm your account and visacoin account have not shared an ip address at any time, if one of them can do that.

I was receiver, I always add a decent fee myself
