There are 146 (no, I'm not missing a zero or any other digit) active BST addresses:

I found one (1) actual transaction (other than staking) in the last 8 hours.

No wonder we can't get any coherent discussion here. There aren't really that many bagholders and no network activity.

On the bright side 90.5% of coins are staking. Which means that should you want to perform a hostile fork you may need approximately... 46% of the coins, all other things being equal (coin age etc).

Just dropping in 

Even if Suchmoon was a fanboy at some point, so what ? He eventually turned around and fought against the scam once it was obvious Garza had turned to blatant fraud.

Just like I used to be a BFL fanboy.

Even the best of us get scammed once in awhile. It's the voices that turn around and work to expose the scams, and try to prevent others from being harmed is ultimately what is important and valuable to this community.

The majority of altcoins are scams. If suchmoon and paul revere are putting Bitstone under the lense, there is probably a reason for it. They have developed good noses when it comes to sniffing out fraud.

I have money to buy his silver bar.  All of them.  

I have btc and usd.  

You still aren't in touch with reality yet...  even if I was a lower class individual, I still have the right to go try on the new jacket that I want, but can't afford.

Show the money first retail is absurd...unless you are buying a ferrari.  But we are talking like $400 worth of silver.  

Came to check out this thread for all the posts it keeps getting-- I do see a bunch of trolls playing games -

"You have 1 hour to prove yourself" -

Really?

These guys offered to let you buy gold or silver with escrow and yet you are still bitching.  What a bunch of nonsense.

Do you honestly think someone needs to comply with your demands like a ransom.  I have watched this thread and the previous and I hate scams, but I have yet to read any real evidence of anything yet. I would cry foul if anyone had an ounce of evidence - but holy shit this looks like a troll convention in here.  

I hope you guys are legit and can shut these bitches up.  

Is it opposite day?  You obviously haven't learned...

You are either

a.  Invested, emotionally and monetarily

b.  Gullible

c.  Both


GAW was the same man.  Some people believed until the bitter end.  Even when people were screaming scam in their face.  Don't want to let the hashking down, ya know?

I don't know where you shop...but I never show my money before I see the merchandise... 

I'm definitely not trying to argue with you.  It's just sad to see you blindly side with the developer despite his lack of proof.  A simple picture would have sufficed.

I've been scammed plenty.  Made a lot of btc...lost almost all of it...made a little more...etc...

If you want to follow the sheep off the cliff...be my guest.  It's not too late to save yourself though.



You're in denial.

Scam confirmed?

No, but I have nothing to prove.  The developer has made claims he is unable to back up.  He's lying...  

I mean no offence to you...but haven't you fallen for scams before?  Don't you wish someone had warned you before you lost all of your money to some heartless, greedy dev...or company?

Disappointing.  All I'm hearing is a bunch of excuses.  You had an opportunity to redeem yourself.  An easy opportunity.  Effortless almost.



There is only one reasonable assumption to make here.  You have one bar.  I don't like it when people lie to me.

No, I can't show you that picture, because like the dev (who does not have more than 1 silver bar), I do not own any BitStone (anymore).

Admit you lied about having multiple bars then...  people love a little humility.  Hell, I'll go away if you admit it too.

For the amount of trouble it would save you... taking a quick pic of the bars is really not asking much.  I'd even go as far as saying that is quite reasonable.

Something about this team's sales items & pitches leaves a sour taste in the mouth.  Everything about this just feels....off.  I don't get this feeling with a lot of coins, even when they're obvious scams.  But this one?  Highly advised to steer clear within one thousand kilometers.  Nothing about this seems legit - not the coin, their 'escrow', nor the 'stones' they have for sale.

Hello Community,

Thanks for all of the recent interest in the BitStone project.

We have a vision and we are committed to seeing it through.

People have made money on BST, and we are very happy to hear that.

This is only a true indicator of the massive interest we already have...and with the things we have planned that interest is going to grow even more.

Escrow Update:

Escrow has been established, and we have worked out a deal to secure worry free escrows from a very accredited escrow agent here on BitcoinTalk.

Many of you may have heard of him, and we can assure that the whole community will be confident in his escrow abilities.

Who is this escrow?

Well, I will let this person introduce himself shortly.

Many people want the Silver Kilo Bars, and it so happens that our escrow agent wants one as well...so we are sending him one to review and to keep as a gift.

I want a silver kilo bar, how do I get one?

Very easily, contact me via PM and state that you want one...and I will put you in contact with the escrow agent asap.

When my escrow confirms he has received payment, I will get your shipping info that you provided my escrow agent and send package within 24 hours.

Buyer will receive tracking number, and be REQUIRED to SIGN for the package. Yeah, no and's if's or but's about it, if you want a Silver Bar and plan to use BST or BTC to purchase it...you will have to sign for that package.

When the package is confirmed DELIVERED, I will contact my escrow agent, and he will also check the status of delivery.

If all checks out funds will be released, and sale will then be finalized.

What items can I look forward to purchasing with BST in the next coming days?

Silver Kilo Bars



Gold Rounds / Sqaures - 1/4 oz , 10 gram , 1/2 oz







Silver Rounds / Squares - 5 oz , 10oz , 1oz







ALL 10% UNDER SPOT!

Nobody can beat our prices on these items.

Grab some BitStone if you wish to buy something of real value this holiday season using Crypto Currency!!!

BITTREX MARKET WHERE YOU CAN BUY BITSTONE:

Thanks for your support,

BitStoneDev

This is where a single address held ~200k coins: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/bst/address.dws?BM8G58DvdWpeJyvbbB5H23sLsDm7EwQEPS.htm

This was already posted a few pages back by someone and didn't attract any attention, which was the point of my post.

That 200k was then split into multiple "bubbles". You can still see that top 10 addresses hold >50%. I hope someone with enough time on their hands can dig up the transactions to show if that 200k ended up in those big bubbles, or on Bittrex, etc.

I find it quite hilarious that none of the wannabe BitStone "investors" - or "customers" or "victims" or whatever they want to call themselves - seem to be concerned that someone is holding nearly 50% of the coins acquired at very low cost compared to the current exchange rate (no premine LOL). And this being a POS coin that someone consequently controls 50% of the network.

This "whale" is probably a very honest and responsible person and will NEVER do anything bad, like dump a significant amount of coins, or meddle with forking. This is crypto, we inherently trust shady characters, right?
