I dunno, on the one hand he says it isn't his pool, even in the OP, but then reading the thread a little closer it turns out, at the very least, he's being paid by the owner. I swear it wasn't me I. It was the guy on IRC!! I just setup his pool for him he had the linux server. He paid me 100 CNC to setup the pool and then he said he'd pay me 25 CNC per hour if I promoted this pool because he doesn't have a forum account. He has been true to his word for paying me because I requested the CNC upfront. Sorry guys If I had my own server I would have hosted a pool, but I don't and this seemed like a good idea. I am also mining on this pool too. Do you know any other ones? Dumb kid who got suckered by a scammer, or a scammer? I edited the OP a few hours ago to mark it as a scam pool after carebear expressed some...moral ambiguity towards doing it himself (which is what makes me think he's just a dumb kid and not really the scammer behind the pool).

Can we request a new forum moderator? Or at least an additional one who logs in more frequently than once over a 4 month period? These forums are currently drowning in FUD and misinformation posts.
+1 I'd also like to request a rule change where people can't just yell "SELL SELL SELL" and "BUY NOW." There's a fine line between speculation and manipulation. Generally speaking, that kind of posting isn't allowed, so use the report feature on posts like that.

he gave me 250 CNC if I didn't change the thread.
Does anybody offer me more than that to change it?
I went ahead did it for you, you can donate to me in my sig instead . Also, editing my comment out will show malicious intent to defraud people as well, so I wouldn't advise it. Be more careful who you deal with in the future to avoid these types of situations.

We apologize to anyone who wants to use our service as we are not taking new purchases at this time. In order to keep the payout times low and secure a payout to all current users we are not allowing any more purchases until we have paid out our current users and have made more room. You can check the homepage for more information.
What a coincidence . More typical ponzi red flags.

I'm fairly new on here but have done about 15 trades so far and have a good Rep and Trust thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=190440.msg1972777#msg1972777I have gotten scammed three times and trying to learn more to avoid this, and also what do I do when I get scammed? I can post here, but should I report the person to one of the administrators so they can investigate and possibly give them a scammer tag on their account? I'm sure they don't have time to investigate scammers all day but I just don't know what the proper procedure is, post scam. Thank you. The procedures used to be that making a special thread in Scam Accusations delineating the evidence would result in a mod reviewing the case as soon as practicable and a tag being given out. The process can easily become very intensive (both timewise, to read the otherwise meaningless drivel scammers (or their shills) often produce and knowledge-wise, as the issues raised occasionally require a phd in law to see through) and is often enough not a practical use of resources, so it's been pretty much abandoned by now as a matter of course. The best way to not get scammed and the greatest thing you can do for your own future is getting in the WoT and learning how to use it. Pretty much this. Scammer tag system isn't very efficient and doesn't work as well now with the increased size of the forum and the number of members (and scams, particularly the altcoin flood) over the past few months with the dramatic rise in price. It's too much of a time sink to tag each and every scammer when one has limited time as it is. Might as well stick a finger in Mount Vesuvius. I will say though, a better system is coming, that's more user based.

I exchanged all my btc for ltc, the btc/ltc ratio seems to be steady, but there is a chance that ltc will double in price once it hits mtgox, which they announced will happen soon...
You did it wrong, never heard of buy on rumor, sell on news? You bought on the news.

If you're printing your own money, why do you need to offer 10% daily to people in order to get loans to keep your business running? Are you going broke with your "secret business plans", are you that desperate? We are having other people pay for our Mining gear, why wouldn't we? Where do you think we got over 1,250 BitCoin to be able to buy all the mining gear we now have? Are you saying we should just pay back out the current users and stop? We could do this, but why? Why not provide a service for those who can't mine for BitCoin themselves, or don't know how. Should we just stop now and be that greedy? You probably should stop if your business model is so terrible that you need to offer 10% daily for short term loans. Yet you claim to make free money, with a secret business model you refuse to talk about. There's a serious flaw somewhere.

Not exactly. As we are able to generate new bitcoin through mining (it is how you make new BitCoin if you didn't know) you cannot compare us to any ponzi scheme. We are not operating a ponzi scheme. We take the payments and use them to run computers to generate new BitCoin. We are basically "printing out own money". No ponzi scheme can do this.

It is obvious that this is going no where fast. All counter claims are full of so much misinformation trying to tarnish the reputation of our site is ridiculous. For example, dbcch0 please quote where it says: He's already stated he doesn't pay taxes. And another attempt to sidestep real questions about his business model, notice how he evades all questions about his business, instead replies to something about taxes, a popular subject on these forums. Classic con man strategy, only answer question not related to the business. I wonder if his next answer will be better than 'free bitcoins!'.

On that note, can we have at least a seperate scam accusations board for the alt coins? ScamAcc is getting flooded with idiot newbies scamming and wanna-be-scamming each other and it detracts from my enjoyment of the real scams.
Yeah that's one of the exceptions, I feel a little bad shuffling them off to alt currencies to get lost from the first page within 20 minutes, so I left 'em.

This guy will wait until he has enough money for his trouble, then disappear, he'll never post again, people will get angry and post about it a lot, we'll say I told you so, another will show up the next week, etc. Please provide your evidence for such a slandering claim.Since what we are doing is extremely profitable, should we fax over our business plan so others can copy? This is what you want, isn't it? How is mining bitcoin not, "free money". Last time we checked thousands of people mine for BitCoin to earn "free money". Ah yes, the mythical 'secret business plan' that is just so profitable that you have to give out 10% interest for loans on an internet forum just to conduct business. Again, that you think mining is free money obviously shows that you haven't thought your fake business plan through very well, and people probably shouldn't loan you money when you are literally begging for it with 10% interest. You're very high risk, and have no answers for questions asked. Oh wait, your 'business plan' is super secret, I forgot.

Eh, this is bitcointalk.org not ___cointalk.org. If the alts are worth it, then a community will pop up around them.
I've reported a few alt-chain posts outside of the alts subforum, but the mods only seem to agree with me half the time. If all alt-chain posts aren't going to be moved to the current alt subforum, I'd support giving them a few more categories so that I can set those ones to ignore too. Got any specific examples? I'm just curious, I almost always move stuff if it deals with an altcoin. There are a few situations where they don't need to be moved because it deals with bitcoin too. Also this, I thought we were doing pretty well at keeping the alt coin stuff separated. I can think of a couple I left cause the alt coin relation was very low, despite one even naming one in the title.

This guy will wait until he has enough money for his trouble, then disappear, he'll never post again, people will get angry and post about it a lot, we'll say I told you so, another will show up the next week, etc. Then why so many questions? People are skeptic. They think "it must be too good to be true". I don't blame them honestly, we are new. We take no offense to anyone calling us a "scam" if that is what they want. The ones who want free BitCoin will use our services, the ones who think it is a scam won't, simple. Beware anyone who ignores questions about his business plans, and instead posts "skeptics heh, come get your free bitcoins guys, just give me yours first". Let's see what time will tell ...
Is there any way to prove that he is speaking the truth?
You are about to learn an important life lesson that can save you a lot of money and frustration. People who mention getting "free money" seriously in their posts about their business, you should stay far away from and you should definitely not invest with them.

I've always been against forums to specific altcoins cause they come and go, but I suppose general ones like buy/sell and mining wouldn't be terrible an idea, just so it doesn't start to look like EQ trade chat. Looking at Alt currencies, the first page only goes back 22 mins. That's a fast moving forum. On the other hand, maybe it will force them to migrate to their own forum faster.

So you're not addressing the fact that taking loans at a crazy interest rate is an awful business model? What is so crazy about being able to generate BitCoin and paying back 1-9%? The fact that you're borrowing money to do it with instead of using your own, and offering ludicrous interest rates to do it? You could get far larger loans with much less interest, except those people would look at your "business plan" and realize it's a classic ponzi scheme. For the newbies, here's a good thread to read, a (then unknown)ponzi that ran for several months. Notice the similarities in the excuses used by the operators. "I know it looks like a scam but my reputation!". https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=50822

Stop falling for these obvious scams, please. Bitpop's posts in particular show how easy it is to appeal to people's greed, and get them to make excuses for scammers and promote their "sound business models", all in the name of a few bucks. Scam just like pyramining
Yeah just like pyramining, no way to ever pay everyone back Actually, not really. We do not require you to "get referrals" or "expand your complex matrix of users" or "build up a team" or "recruit others" or "invite xxx people and then you get your reward". Since we do not need additional members to payout current, there is no need to force users to do this. We would like to grow, but it is not really necessary. While we were starting we are offered up to 1 BitCoin for sharing a link with us where you recommend us, but are discontinuing that on Monday. I'll do that for 1 btc
Yeah I'm starting to trust but its odd you just registered here.
could be a bot net, thats actually a good thing for us
