Bulanula pulled that kind of stunt often as well, every scammer case that was marginally popular was totally relevant to his case because x.

There's already a dozen threads about your scammer case, try to keep it there. Not everything needs to be about you.

according to this thread the "payouts" don't appear on the blockchain, so most probably a scam

Why do you guys post the same thing?

Titeti is a spam bot, I banned him.  They sometimes copy posts in longer threads like this one, sometimes with amusing effects. Report them if you see it.

I'm with you in regards to the "scam" accusations. If you deal with them, treat it like an investment. It's entirely possible that they aren't scamming and just don't understand what's going to happen long-term with their business plan. Or it could be a pyramid scheme.

Offering that kind of interest rate isn't a business plan, it's just retarded. If you have such an awesome business making so much profit, that you can offer that kind of interest, why do you need to borrow money in the first place?

And if you do borrow money, why do you do it in the worst way possible? Post anonymously on a forum on the internet, offering insane interest rates, with an ad that looks exactly like a ponzi, with no excuse other than a "super secret" business plan?

Nothing about it makes sense at all if you look at it from the perspective of an investor, as you say you should. That's because it isn't one, it's a con.

As you said, it's either a terrible business plan, or a scam. Neither one of those is a good investment.

The site has been "updating" all day. Translation: MU's team of crack lawyers is furiously playing Satoshi dice and generating funny payouts.

Yup, this is the end, my only friend the end.

No updates tomorrow, it's time to get the pitchforks out.

Why pitchforks? There was ample warnings and everything points toward it being a ponzi. It even says on his site that he will  take it and run at anytime.

If you still chose to send them money, then the responsibility and consequences are solely on your shoulders.

I deleted it, it still "exists" in the trash can, so it still counts towards your post count, you just can't see them.

Edit: Also, by reading this post you agree that it was okay for me to remove that thread. Problem solved  Roll Eyes.

Sorry, I made a small mistake! Please could a mod amend the OP so it reads:

The auction will end at 11:00pm GMT (10:00pm UTC) Wednesday 15th May 2013.

No I can't. Should be fine, you posted the correction pretty quickly, before any bids.

How come the mods don't shut him down?! Surely there have been enough complaints by now!

I banned him a few hours ago, even posted in this thread about it.
1972  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Anyroll's 10 BTC giveaway is a scam, he sent me and others a phishing link on: May 14, 2013, 07:04:02 AM
I also got the PM. The funny thing is that my only contribution to the giveaway thread was to ask "What happens if I choose an already chosen number?" so I had no chance to win at all.

Now, after reading this thread and learning about "my account was hacked", I PM'd anyroll showing interest and waited for his reply. Guess what, as of 06:34 UTC he's still scamming people:




Can we have the mod to disable his account, at least for now? The fact that he's still replying the scam PM is proof enough that the issue has yet to be fully resolved.

Agreed, banned. We'll sort it out later.

555 is still more than 540, are you sure it decreased?

If they will pay ... where is the scam?
I do not understand the idea.

It's called a long con. A good movie to watch regarding scams and con artists, and how easy it is to play on people's greed/vanity/etc, is The Sting (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070735/).

Forum under trading discussion makes most sense. Or just go ahead and move them to scammer accusations and get it out of the way.
1978  Other / Meta / Re: Altcoin discussions everywhere. on: May 12, 2013, 12:29:23 AM
Giving altcoins their own individual forums is a nonstarter, far too many altcoins come and go in a matter of days/weeks.

Besides, the majority of them have very few changes, making new subforums would be putting more work into the altcoins than went into the altcoin itself.

Theoretically one would not need one separate subforum for each coin, but rather subforums such as "marketplace", "exchange", "mining", "giveaways"... that would make it future proof and much tidier with very little effort.

Either way this is getting out of hand. You guys need to take a stance and either expand the altcoins subforum or remove it altogether.

We have taken a stance, some people just want to see how many ways they can hear no.

Alternate cryptocurrencies is the alternative to deleting them, nothing more. Nothing against them really, at least some have a goal. But at the end of the day, there's few things more annoying than seeing yet another good thread have a 5 page derail over how xcoin is better.

This forum is already a lot of work and time, would require a lot of restructuring and many more mods to be the 'cryptocurrency forum'. Alt currencies would require a lot of work and child boards to get it under control.

I would stay away from alt coins unless someone you trust has reviewed the code.

I would also stay away from anything bitcoin related unless someone you trust has reviewed the code  Roll Eyes

That's even better advice!
