When I click on the address and copy it, when I stick it I give the address 13D6FEsc8oJ4ynJD7hL52CM1GPzKp8YZh4, although on request is another. Is this a virus?
Yes ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) I'm sorry to confirm your money is gone. See for example https://techcrunch.com/2018/07/03/new-malware-highjacks-your-windows-clipboard-to-change-crypto-addressesIt doesn't help you now, but in the future: you shouldn't trust copy/paste, but always check if it produces the correct address. Even checking just the first digits isn't enough, you should do a thorough check.

Your work here is amazing Thanks ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I just don't like spammers ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) and I can say that it's more convenient for me to just look at each of them directly. Thanks! I can keep you busy for as long as you want. I now have 3 days patrol-data collected, it doesn't take long to create a list.

Does anyone have any suggestions what I can do apart from lose the funds? Is it possible to open a cloud based wallet and somehow redirect the pending transaction? Or is it possible to continue the bitcoin core download but onto an external hard drive? These are all valid possibilities! First: Make a backup of your wallet.dat if you haven't done it yet. 1. You can export the private key, and import it into Electrum for quick access. DO NOT SHOW YOUR PRIVATE KEY TO ANYONE! 2. As an alternative, you can restart Bitcoin Core with the prune=550 option. It will take only a few GB on your computer, but you still need to complete the 185 GB download (this takes a while). 3. Using an external hard drive is possible too, but slower. Take your pick, it saves me from typing unnecessary details. Where did you obtain an address without loading the wallet to begin with? Bitcoin Core loads a wallet the moment it starts up. It doesn't need to be synchronized to produce receiving addresses. I'm assuming my current transfer from the exchange to my bitcoin core wallet is floating waiting for my bitcoin core to load then register the transaction. If all went well, your transaction is confirmed already. Your Bitcoin Core doesn't need to do anything for that, all it does is show you your wallet. The important thing is that you keep your private keys, which are in your wallet.dat.

I don't understand the part about getting nuked as a newbie. Is that a spambot-preventative tactic that mods have that isn't there for Jr. members and above? As far as I know: -any Mod can nuke a Newbie. Nuke means ban + delete all posts. -only higher ranking (global?) Mods can ban anybody, but posts won't be deleted unless the Mod does that manually.

I seriously think there should be a minimum merit requirement to become a Junior Member. Maybe require just one or a few merit, because far too many shitposters are becoming Juniors including spam bots and once they hit Junior the accounts can't be 'nuked' which is annoying. Requiring one merit would at least prevent spambots from getting out of newbie status and getting one merit shouldn't be that difficult for regular users. Agreed! Alternative: could nuking be extended to Jr. Member level? And in that case patrol should probably include them too.

Did I lose the bitcoin?
Did you make this transaction on July 11, 2017? I don't think you did. It's a 32817 bytes transaction, with many inputs. I would guess it's a scammer consolidating his 2 Bitcoin "revenue" from his clipboard hijacker virus. If that's the case, than unfortunately you lost your Bitcoins. That would also mean your computer is compromised and shouldn't be trusted anymore.

To prevent this many bounty managers ask to post "proof" that it is your account and that it is you, who participate in this bounty. What will you say about it and may be you know how to solve this problem with scammers?
Those "bounty managers" don't give a sh*t about spam and scammers, all they care about is having spammers bump their thread. If you want to proof your account is yours, post your address in your profile. Any bounty manager can check it from there, even Google Docs can automate that. Try to stay on topic please. And also too many fake accounts. "Proof" post solves this problem. Forum rules overrule those bounty problems. If your post history only consist of something like that, yes. As you can see on my previous post, I didn't just go into a banning spree. I check every post history of each accounts.
The OP shows different lists, with many users in more than one list. I could combine them all into one list for you, to make it less work. I can keep making lists like that, so if you can tell me based on what you do or do not ban, I might be able to make it more accurate.

I have been wondering if there was anything one could do to earn merit Let's see your post history: ~ parents ~ merit ~ world war 3 ~ Hitler ~ Politics & Society ~ Off-topic Bounty (Altcoins) ~. Merit is working just fine!

I recommend @LoyceV to use box That's too much for creating graphs manually (pixel for pixel).

My wallet don't show me the adress (13D6FEsc8oJ4ynJD7hL52CM1GPzKp8YZh4) at "Used Addresses" 13D6FEsc8oJ4ynJD7hL52CM1GPzKp8YZh4 was used a year ago already. This address now holds 0.11923343 BTC. If you didn't use it last year, someone else owns that address. I see 39ShybSnGV9H5JdUics4NdkEMpZvk1vad7 on your screenshots. This address is now empty. I created my wallet, I copied the address from my wallet to request bitcoin. I used coin mixer, I pasted the adress in output adress. I used the same method many times, but I never had problems. Which mixer did you use? Did you receive a Letter of Guarantee? If so, can you PM it to me for verification?Coinmixer.se, it already shows in the screenshots. Note that this now links those addresses together, so any past or future mixing on those addresses is no longer private.
I think it's either clipboard hijacking (most likely from what you told us), a man in the middle attack through your proxy (I would expect your browser to warn you if the ssl certificate changes), or a bug in Blockchain.

Hi! But this was condition of amazix bounty. It is lottery and they told to write exactly this text: "participating in Codex Lottery round 2". What you should have done, is report the thread if it breaks the rules. What do you think? Now all bounty proof messages will be banned? I sure hope so! Or may be make a warning will be good decision for first time? The warning is in all the sticky threads. Or easier not to ban forum participants, but delete thread with such messages?
Report it, and do your share of cleaning up the spam.

The graphs make it easy to spot abuse. If someone suddenly sends and receives a large amount, such as this user (see reference), it's easy to follow where it came from and where his sMerits are going to.

The steps to retrieved my account is very simple. I have PM my FJ manager Hhampuz and LoyceMobile. To avoid confusion: I had nothing to do with getting the account back, I just read the story behind it. Did you see this post in the Merit abuse thread? USER PROFILE : bgpsq (click for more) I don't think receiving Merit can be a clear case of abuse, but sending 46 Merit for this post is clear abuse. The receiving account sent them to this post again.

Well, that failed ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) I wanted to add a message and quote myself, but I guess I'm tired, as I accidentally removed the OP ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)
Google cache to the rescue, but restoring all links will be too much work. Luckily, most spammers in this post were handled already.
Update: mattcode noticed a homograph spammer today, and after looking further, I see many of the Newbies reported in this thread now spam homograph attacks too!
This user or this user for example now use homograph attacks in their spam, which they didn't do yesterday. This confirms my expectation that it's just very few people controlling many spambots. They adjust their spam once too many of their bots get caught. I've seen this before in a bounty campaign filled with spammers/cheaters, now they do it on the forum too. I can only hope they changed this because a significant part of their spambots was banned. But for future cleanups, something needs to be done. By changing either one or more characters, they can now make many different versions of each word. Hence the updated thread title, theymos said before he can automatically change all Cyrillic characters on English boards, and I think it should be prioritized.
I was searching through a few days of patrol data, hoping to find plagiarism, but I found something much bigger: many Newbies post exactly the same message to join (I mean spam) a bounty thread. Considering the rules: Users posting "joined" type posts when not required or allowed will be BANNEDIncentivizing posting via low effort tasks (likes, follows, etc.) is NOT allowedThe involved threads should be closed, and in my opinion most or all of those users don't add any value to the forum. And I wouldn't be surprised if many of them are just bumpbots. While making this list, I found some spambots too, that only use 1-4 accounts. I won't list them all here, but just report them. Some examples, and note that this data is far from complete and probably only the tip of the iceberg.

OK, the 24-hour limit is now in place in the sections that people mentioned.
It seems Marketplace (Altcoins) > Bounties (Altcoins) was forgotten, this was posted and deleted many times: How can I use Exereum after?
Can you add this board to the 24h deleting restriction?
This was posted many times in Русский (Russian) > Альтернативные криптовалюты: Прикольно, такое решение очень удачно, учитывая, что ИКО еще идет.
I'm not sure how often this happens on Russian boards.

Now that I think about it, this could also just be another scammer trying to lure someone in with a sweet account.
Exactly. It could just have well have been +3 green trust and: Posts: 4984 Activity: 1176 Merit: 1567
|
|
|
even if you come up with a match, it could not even be guilty but just a way to get the poor guy banned or red trusted, there is no certainty he really owns any account till he hand it over. At only 0.02 BTC for a green trusted Legendary account, my guess is he's just hoping to scam someone. I've tried to pinpoint accounts from auctions before, but I never found a match. I kinda expect a real account seller to leave out the details, say: 2400+ posts, 1600+ Activity. That protects the account. So I expect the ones with exact details to be more likely to scam instead of owning the account.

Seems like the mods have clear out the spam. You can mark the case as closed now. I think some aren't banned, but that's up to the mods. I found 2 more to be nuked for danielcriptoadv-spam: 6. Hashbon 48. liascotox
