When they get the link via dm and click it - they literally give the “hacker” their pw - so no meed for the “hacker” to change it - the people never realize their is even an issue until after they get screwed - at which time still there is no need for “hacker” to change the pw then.

rasengan - When you contacted me to make this 40 BTC escrow deal and I told you that you would be scammed if you tried to do it over telegram, why did you ignore my advice? I told you that I was willing to help you to avoid this scenario and you decided to do the exact opposite of what I told you.
My $0.02 on this is that your account was likely compromised if you received the screenshot. Even if minerjones was a scammer I don't think he would be so sloppy as to provide a screenshot as evidence of his involvement. I'm guessing the screenshot is from your sent folder, or was a fabrication created by getting the message from your sent folder. That or this is some sort of attempt at getting sympathy so people will make donations. Anyway, you literally did what I told you not to do and you allegedly lost your funds as a result. You can't be too surprised by this.
if the message was in his sent folder but then deleted after being sent - as long as it is still in his "received" folder, it should be possible to recover the actual sent dm - we were able to recover dm's in similar situations in the past - provided either the sender or re cepient still ahve the message it was possible to recover. |

The major issue I have here is that I received a screenshot of the BitcoinTalk message I had sent to minerjones which is how I had confirmed that it was the same user from here.
Currently it appears the position being taken is that the telegram account was a scam. This leads me to believe that either his account on BitcoinTalk or BitcoinTalk itself is compromised.
I would like to see this BitcoinTalk message that you received. (Meaning a screen shot, not simply a copy and paste). The only message posted by "minerjones" is that you're dealing with a scammer. I am most interested in the actual name used on that message since there are many fake "minerjones" variations. i.e. with a basic search.... minerjones` minerjones. `minerjones minerjones ` minerjones . minerjones - minerjonesalt According to bpip - none of those accounts have been active recently. |

ouch so someone with the most votes could still actually lose lol this will be fun - can win first with 1/3 of the votes.

my guess is one of 2 scenarios:
1. there was no buyer - you peeled your own coins - and whatever reason you are wanting to claim the funds as lost (maybe to avoid taxes?)
2. your account was compromised and they used your account to send the dm's in question with fake responses to boot.
and in all of this - how was it that the coins were peeled so fast? Did the buyer convince you to peel the coins and give them the keys?
why you would ever give any keys or mail any coins (and for this amount they should NEVER be shipped - there are people here, who would handle doing the person to person transaction and deliver the coin in person) without first confirming a payment transaction - even if they were paying an escrow - you would need to see the txn id showing the pymt was made.

I am confused - are we voting for who actually gets first place? or just our top 3 favorites? curious because what if a contestant gets 5 votes for 1st, 5 votes for 2nd and 5 votes for 3rd - with only 5 votes in each of placement, they obviously lose if the voting is by placement instead of total overall votes, in which case they would have 15 votes.

also - maybe explain what happened - so I am trying to figure out how you lost 26btc - I know you were selling 2 coins on forums, 1btc cas and a 25btc cas - you ended both threads stating that they were sold for 40btc in some deal.
You sold 2 coins to someone off the forums correct? if so, how does minerjones become part of it? was he in possession of your coins? Did he receive funds from the buyer? did he send the coins out?

I confirmed a screenshot with minerjones on telegram whose username was initially mtmantis and later changed to minerjones on telegram. However, now my 26BTC are gone and also their accounts on telegram are deleted.
The major issue I have here is that I received a screenshot of the BitcoinTalk message I had sent to minerjones which is how I had confirmed that it was the same user from here.
Currently it appears the position being taken is that the telegram account was a scam. This leads me to believe that either his account on BitcoinTalk or BitcoinTalk itself is compromised.
Either way it looks like I’m out 26BTC. It’s upsetting, but I’m more worried about others on here who could be at risk. I feel like this amount of money can really negatively affect someone should a scam be pulled like this.
Anyway it’s unlikely to be resolved but I also wanted to note that whoever can find this guy and bring him to me can have the 26BTC or whatever else they have on them of equivalent or, if not, highest value if they don’t have the coins on them. I don’t need the money at all just the culprit. Also, please do so without harming him and if you’re in a jurisdiction that requires licensing for bounty hunting please make sure you do so and consult your attorney before proceeding in all jurisdictions. In the meantime I have a team working on subpoenaing and following the rabbit hole likely to a vpn, but if not I do know that there will be dire consequences for this gentleman’s actions.
I’ll be moving on as I already lost a half mil here definitely don’t want to waste valuable time! Please message me about this if you have the culprit otherwise I hope BitcoinTalk can have a security analysis because being able to share private messages from a BitcoinTalk account is very scary.
Best,
Andrew
minerjones telegram is "minerjones" the problem with telegram is that there can be many accounts where the display name is "minerjones" you have to look at the profile to see if it is actually the "@minerjones" username. I am pretty much 110% sure that minerjones would not scam you. I can also tell you that the legitimate "minerjones" account is still active and not deleted - having talked with him just this morning. it could also be that the bitcointalk.org dm you sent to "minerjones" and received a screenshot of on telegram was not from the real minerjones. |

So I finally got started solo mining. I started with my two NewPacs. I will test the Terminus 808 I got off of ebay and if it works will add to this rig.
Then I will setup another RPi 4 to run my 4 Compac-Fs and the R909 that is supposed to be delivered tomorrow!
how do you add a screenshot / image to this post? choosing the insert Image button just ads IMG tags.
R909? Is that a new miner or did you mean R606? |

@MoparMiningLLC its time for a new group buy again  this BitcoinDay edition is the first one in 2023 already in the works - there was an issue with packaging and they have to completely remake the packaging - still hoping to get them done and assembled and shipped by the conference. We shall see. I might have to hold off on posting until they can confirm they have the conference ones done first. |
