Kinda thinking i may want to sell this account. Not as active with bitcoins as i use to be. :C

if anything, dont post from that account when you sell it; people knowing that account is sold might lead to the trust ratings being removed which is what gives your account value.

Also I absolutey don't get how it proofs ownership of the account... could not just anybody send a message through a bitcoin address to say that it's their account? Especially, where exactly is a bitcoin address linked to my account?

it proves ownership as a valid message can only be signed if the individual signing the message controls the private key of the associated address. ie no one else can sign a valid messag from that address since they do not control its private key; assuming you posted an address say, for a signature campaign to receive payouts to, you could sign a message from that address. as far as potential buyers are concerned who will only care for a signed message, your excuses dont prove anything, and avoiding the question only adds to suspicion of a hacked account. take it how you will, im trying to help you get a sale by encouraging a signed message from you, but youre free to disregard my words completely of course.

i cant seem to access the site either, but id wait an hour or two to see if its back up first.
2164  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Selling my Sr. Member main account on: July 10, 2015, 07:26:31 AM
I want to sell my Sr. Member account. The account was created over two years ago. The account has no negative trust.
There are much more posts than activity. The account has an avatar.

i think the latter 2/3 of this post says nothing; all we need is a signed message from an old address posted in an unedited post from a few months ago to prove ownership.

I've seen the stuff about signing messages... problem is I don't understand it. I used Bitcoin to buy humblebundle games for Steam, or for other transactions... never signed a message, I don't know how it works and especially how it proves ownership. Can you explain?

There is no way that I could hack both, a Twitter account and well established blog. Both accounts are heavily active since 6 years, if it would be hacked, the owner would get the accounts back asap... there is not a single time where I did stop to publish posts on my blog... this is a heavily active blog including twitter account.

But anyway, if you explain me how signing a message works with Bitcoin, I probably can do this too... my bitcointalk account is real and I am the owner since creation.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=990345.0

this link will tell you everything you need. also, your words of "how could i have hacked all these accounts" isnt really even a valid excuse; if they all had the same password and username, as many people still do, its not a question of hacking all of them, you only need one.

Thank you I will check the thread out... but...

It is a valid excuse. You know why? The blog has photos of my cat uploaded six years ago, but I never stopped to upload new photos of her. Same about stories of my home town and so on and the photos. Where would I get all the photos if I would be a hacker? You can even do google reverse image search to find out that the photos are only used on one blog, my blog (ok probably shared to Twitter and Pinterest later on). So, do you think a hacker would hack a blog and write on it for 6 years? He would have sold the blog and the content would have changed... but on this blog there is a straight line... the main content are personal photo stories and that since 6 years... one of the very posts on this blog (6 years ago) is my cat, then you find posts from july with the exact same cat. How would this be possible? Cheesy


you can call it proof if you want, but a signed message is by far simpler and gives assurance that you are the original owner of the account. also, potential buyers arent about to go through 6 years worth of photos to verify that youre the owner when they can simply copy and paste the address, message, and signature to verify. what's valid to you isnt necessarily valid to everyone on this forum.

I think this site has done the scammy scam shuffle

dont be surprised, i as well as a few others have asked repeatedly for proof and the op has only dodged the question; there was no doubt this was a ponzi in the first place.

As i said their behavior it's pretty bad and it does not help them in any way, yes there might not be a definitive proof of them being scammers but i seriously don't see how acting like that makes your site look any better, you had the chance of clearing your name by showing proof of funds and you didnt want to although you said yourself that one of your priorities is to be trusted and honest.

I am just saying that, although you and your site might be legit, your behavior it's making you look unprofessional and gives your site a bad image, i understand OP might have insulted you and your site but look at your replies to him and others, it's not the way to go.

exactly, even if you may feel insulted or whatever, its a fact that your posts on this forum represents your site; if this kind of behavior was demonstrated by a representative of any major international company they'd be fired immediately. pride and professionalism dont mix, especially in this kind of scenario.

given your feedback, its not likely youll get a trade; in addition, theres nothing that will guarantee a 2 month warranty on your part aside from escrowing the funds for 2 months.
2170  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Bitcoin Dice Script/Code/Source on: July 10, 2015, 06:41:42 AM
This script is very much similar to CoinDice, you probably did just minor graphic changes in the original script.
Hah, we did much more than that. New log in system, security improvements, major design overhaul, leaderboard system and more. As I said in the thread, PM me if you want a full list of changes.

I am interested in knowing the list of all changes. Just drop me a PM. Also you sure, no backdoors?

its possible op isnt going to mention all the details, especially the ones pertaining to exploits. might be better to have some extensive testing done before launching any site with the script. not going to point fingers or accuse anyone, buts its possible op knows of an exploit and is waiting to exploit it himself. not saying he will, but given the scammy nature of people on this forum its not exactly the last in line of possibilities.
2171  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Need help! on: July 10, 2015, 06:37:48 AM
Don't give up on your dreams. Go on Ebay and buy 1 or 2 Antminer S3 miners and give them a whirl. You'll need a computer power supply as well. But once you have that you're good to go for about $150.00 total.



the problem might be that OP is either not willing to or does not have the leisure to expend the funds for a few asic miners. cpu mining altcoins is definitely a viable alternative.
2172  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Simillar website to Freelancer.com - BTC ? on: July 10, 2015, 06:32:15 AM
Freelancer.com will soon accept Bitcoin as payment.

care to link something that backs up your statement?

also maybe monbux's upcoming site will include something like freelancer's services.
2173  Economy / Gambling / Re: OCTOPLAY.NET -BJ and SLots 50% Deposit Bonus - 100% Provably Fair - NO SIGNUP on: July 10, 2015, 06:12:48 AM
Hey Guys,

we made some Updates to the Site:

Automatic Deposit Bonus

We updated our Deposit System and Bonuses will now be credited automaticaly after our System recognized your Deposit.
(so you don't need to post our Address here anymore!)

We will work on some minor Improvements during the next Week, stay tuned! Wink

When the deposit bonus is credited automatically means that you force your player to take the deposit bonus, while some players do not want to take it because of the rollover requirement. Its better to let your player choose whether they want to take the deposit bonus or not. That's more fair..
just my opinion

i think that might be the intention here; it encourages players to play more, which is what a casino naturally wants.
2174  Economy / Invites & Accounts / Re: selling my Full Member bitcointalk account on: July 10, 2015, 06:08:59 AM
Hi, i want to sell my full member account for only 0.07 btc (negotiable)
Posts : 150+
Activity: 126 140 (updated)
Date registered: oct. 2014
No loan
No neg. trust

Unfortunately i can't provide a signed message of the btc address i posted with that account months ago cuz the addy is from an exchange site (coins.ph) and the address is now replaced with a new one by coins.ph

But i can still prove the ownership of the account i'm selling, just let me know in what way you want me to prove the ownership of the said account(ofc except signed message)

I can post here the profile link of the account if necessary

Thanks Smiley

btw. why are you using a new account to sell your full member account?

so he doesnt give out the username of the account being sold; people like to keep that kind of info private.
2175  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Best way to earn Bitcoins? on: July 10, 2015, 06:07:26 AM
For us new to BTC world and no services to offered , still signature campaign is the best way for us.

if you have the time to post on the forum, then surely you have time to learn a skill you can offer; programming is (in my opinion) something fairly doable as far as self-learning goes, and is incredibly worthwhile to learn, no matter what language.
2176  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to convert Bitcoin to Paypal? on: July 10, 2015, 06:02:39 AM

i remember that wordpress used to accept bitcoin as payment. but they said they wanted to stop, i don't know if they did. search to see if they still accept it first.
but you can always find trusted members in the marketplace section that will do the transaction for you. just check their history and trust first.


Yep, there are many scammers in the marketplace section
For the avoidance of frauds, We can use escrow services


escrow wont help much in terms of paypal trades though, scammers can chargeback whenever they want, and theyre likely to win the dispute cases because of paypal's rather lacking policies.
2177  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can I offer Lending with my current rank? on: July 10, 2015, 05:39:17 AM
probably not the right section, but rank doesnt matter as youre not giving your account as collateral or anything; you might get some people trying to take advantage of what may seem to be inexperience though.
2178  Economy / Gambling / Re: DaDice.com - Next Gen Social Gambling Dice Experience | Progressive Jackpot on: July 10, 2015, 05:37:50 AM
Any chance you will start accepting new coins in the near future?

I know that there are many people in the Monero community who are always looking for new ways to spend their coins

i dont know if gambling is necessarily "spending..." but accepting a new coin would require substantial bankroll of said coin, so i dont see that happening in the near future imo.
2179  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to convert Bitcoin to Paypal? on: July 10, 2015, 04:37:31 AM
I usually use www.uciex.com to get paypal
The fee is set at 0.4%, it's very cheap
you can deposit your bitcoin and withdraw with paypal
it's very easy, secure and fast.


that's definitely something ill be checking out in the future, maybe when the prices are a bit higher.

Hi dear you are doing very good for this forum. I really appreciate your work. I got much help from your this post.
Can you also add this coinbase link in the OP, it would be much easir for people, and they will not go for asking about how to sign a message in coinbase
https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/articles/1526413-how-do-i-sign-a-message-with-a-bitcoin-address-

Thanks

Good idea, done. I still plan to make a version without text, but you are right. Its better to add the link for now.

Thanks for that.

By the way can you please tell me how to sign a message if im using an address from an exchange site like btc-e or bit-x if its possible ?

my thought is that you cant sign a message directly from the exchange; you need to control the private key of that address, so i think the only workaround here is to get the private key from the exchange (if they provide it, which its likely they wont) and import it to your own wallet to sign the message.
