That's the description of a SEPA return code (MS03).

This explicit code means that the bank returned this transfer 'without any further reason'.

My guess would be that your bank does not support anything bitcoin-related and that they actively stop you from transacting with coinbase.


This definitely is not the fault of coinbase. You need to contact your bank for further information.
2762  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Offline Armory Installation Question on PureOS on: June 24, 2019, 07:12:38 AM
Just copy all necessary .deb files to your offline computer.

Since you already have installed armory on your online machine (including all dependencies), you can simply copy then over.
You can find them in:

Code:
/var/cache/apt/archives

Copy your armory installation file, python-qt4 and python-psutil over and install them by running the following in the directory where the files are stored:

Code:
sudo apt-get install ./FileToInstall.deb

Thanks Royce...but the support already closed my ticket and said that under 5000k they can t help me....

Then you unfortunately can't do anything about it.

It is completely up to them how and when to recover wrongly send coins.


Please not that this doesn't mean they are 'scam', 'untrustworthy' or similar.

Accessing the private keys to recover funds sent to an wrong address is a time-consuming and highly risky process.
Security-wise it definitely makes sense that this is not easily possible. Most employees have absolutely no access to the private keys.

Accessing the private keys outside of the fully automated process which handles withdrawals is bound to huge risks and it makes sense that they do not accept the risk for an amount which seems to be 'too low' for them.

2764  Economy / Reputation / Re: Flagging accounts which are up to sale [DT member actions needed] on: June 24, 2019, 06:56:03 AM
Why would you ban an account that's up for sale?

No one bans these accounts.

They receive a negative trust rating, because they are not to be trusted.


The account is not banned and can be still used the same way. But other people have to be warned that the so-called 'hero member with +6 trust' is just a sold account and anyone could be the owner.



isn't the only one who should be tagged is the seller for selling an account?

No. The account itself needs to be tagged.

Using a bought and higher rank account lets other user think that the person is trustworthy (especially the account with +6 trust rating).
If the account is being sold, the account holder can not be trusted at all because it could be anyone without any effort being put into 'his' account. And therefore the negative trust rating.



Last question, the OP can be trusted? wherein a matter of privacy was leaked? The OP REVEAL A CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

Information about an potential trade was made public.
This is absolutely fine. You never told me to keep that confidential.

I am free to share my own chat history.



PS. A lot of people here didn't see the situation

I have uploaded the screenshots of the whole conversation. Anyone who wants to see it, can see it.



they thought thought that we should be tagged for selling which is not an offense but only discourage and they praised the person who leaks a confidential information and must be trusted?

Making my own chat history public and warning others (especially newbies) about fake higher-rank member means that i am untrustworthy in monetary terms?
Not really..
2765  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Flagging user broke an agreement and leaking confidential information on: June 24, 2019, 06:44:11 AM
For anyone wondering what this is referring to: I pretended to be a customer to get untrustworthy accounts - which are up for sale - tagged.

Creating a flag requires the following:
  • Must be created by the user who has been damaged
  • Must have violated a written contract
  • The violation must result in damage


There are multiple reasons why a flag is not appropriate:

1) There was no written contract.

2) IF you want to call that chat a 'contract', the terms were 'money for account'. Without an account being handed over, no payment is due. Therefore there was no violation at all. Neither any damage.

3) Rescinding from a trade is not a violation and did not result in any damage (Both would be absolutely necessary for a flag to be appropriate).

4) It must be created by @TrustedAccSeller. Why are you speaking for 'your friend' ?



If you are talking about a negative trust rating instead, this also is not appropriate.
Simply because the fact that i called your accounts out for being untrustworthy does not mean that i am untrustworthy in monetary terms.




He made an agreement for both of us that he will buy the account if we prove ownership [...]

I never explicitly said that i WILL buy an account - as it is - after the proof.
Once it was bound to the account having a good post history - which it didn't have.
Once it was after a promised +240 trust acc (which was a +6 trust acc).

There was no explicit agreement.

Even IF it was (which is not the case), a flag would still not be appropriate because simply rescinding from it is not a violation AND did NOT result in damage.




He agreed to it and we choose SebastianJu to escrow us

And both of you INSISTED on not using an escrow.
And insisting in terms of trying everything you can to not use an escrow.

This alone makes you extremely untrustworthy already.




[...] he [..] compromised a confidential information about our transaction.

We had no transaction. We were speaking about a potential transaction.

What confidential information are you talking about ? There was no confidential information.

Usernames are public. PM's which i receive can be shared by me without any consent of the sender.
You didn't even mention that you want to keep that confidential, which could have changed something.



2766  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Help with Electrum? on: June 22, 2019, 10:45:40 PM
But.. you bought bitcoins? Why did you paste your seed into localbitcoins.com ?
Did the seller expect you to give him your seed so he can 'put BTCs on it' ? If so, that's a scam.

Can you give us your (receiving) address of the first and second trade ? It will be way easier for us to investigate it this way.
2767  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Build Databases fault on: June 22, 2019, 10:41:29 PM
I tried to open a new wallet in Electrum and selected the wallet document from Armory, but it's unable to read it.

This doesn't work because both wallets use completely different formats.

If you want to move your coins into an electrum wallet, do the following:
  • Create a new electrum wallet and write down the mnemonic code (12 words). These are the key to your funds.
  • Make sure you have backed them up properly (not digitally!)
  • Export the private key of the address which received funds out of armory by opening the 'wallet properties' -> 'backup this wallet' -> 'export key list'
  • Create a second (temporary) electrum wallet by choosing to import a private key. Use the private key of armory.
  • Send funds from your temporary electrum wallet (containing only this one private key) to your other electrum wallet (which will be your new 'standard' wallet)

Afterwards your funds will be located in your new electrum wallet. 
2768  Economy / Reputation / Re: Flagging accounts which are up to sale [DT member actions needed] on: June 22, 2019, 10:33:49 PM
I’m sure there are at least three people in DT willing to support a flag for someone who was harmed, even if the underlying business they are involved in is not well liked.

Actually, the description of the flag says:
Quote
This user violated a written contract with me, resulting in damages.

The first point we can argue about is the violation. We have different point of views regarding this.


But absolutely clear is, that the so-called 'violation' definitely did NOT result in any damage at all.

What resulted in 'damage' was that i didn't just keep my mouth shut but took the appropriate action to tag the accounts as being up for sale.
1) This actually isn't any damage at all. The accounts ARE worth way less because being some good of a trade. Other people (outside of the trade) just didn't know it before the tag. Now, it is fair, since everyone has the same information regarding these accounts (the fact that they are just a good in a trade and that they shouldn't be trusted).
My actions did NOT reduce the value of these accounts, they revealed the actual value to everybody on this forum.
2) The 'damage' is not the result of rescinding from the 'trade'. It is the result of sharing information which everyone should have access too.


So, no.. I don't believe the flag would be appropriate.
2769  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Help with Electrum? on: June 22, 2019, 10:25:26 PM
After reading this, i still have a few questions:

  • How did you 'import' your BTCs ? Did you import a private key ? A mnemonic code ?
  • What do you define as a 'root key' ? AFAIK, the only wallet which uses this term is armory.
  • Which site did you use to convert your seed (are you talking about the 12-/24- word mnemonic code) into a 'root key' ?
  • Is there an outgoing transaction from your wallet?
2770  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Best/easiest way to generate a private key with XX sided dice. 16? 60? on: June 22, 2019, 09:12:29 PM
Do you know where I can read up on entropy? I'm not sure what that means or how to calculate it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(computing)


I know bitaddress uses this method but then at the same time idk if it's using JavaScript cryptography, which isn't secure enough for a Bitcoin private key IMO.

Do you know how would I record mouse movements and/or how could I could use that as an entropy source? Javascript itself is just a language. This doesn't say anything about the way the entropy is collected and the quality of the PRNG at all.

You could simply use /dev/random of a unix system.
The linux kernel uses mouse movements, inter-keyboard timings, CPU interrupts and other non-deterministic events to gather entropy.

That's definitely random enough to generate a private key.
2771  Economy / Reputation / Re: Flagging accounts which are up to sale [DT member actions needed] on: June 22, 2019, 08:42:41 PM
The value decreased when you disclosed the confidential information.

Which itself has nothing to do with the 'contract'. What is the 'confidential information' in your eyes ?
The only thing which is 'confidential' is the PM i received. And this PM itself did not decrease the value.

The fact that i called him out for doing shady business is what decreased the value. And ONLY if you really want to call it like that.
Because the accounts had no real value. They were sold for a price. That's it. But the real value was close to zero.. it is just some shitty account which is being traded. No value behind it.


By the way.. i don't have a problem with tagging account sellers and their accounts. Even if they 'lose value'.
I know that sounds harsh to someone who owns multiple accounts.. but it is the truth.



The offer does not expose a person to liability. In order for an offer to obligate the person making the offer, it will need to be accepted by the other party prior to the offer being withdrawn, or expiring.

There were so much things missing regarding the 'trade' that it wouldn't even be called 'similar to a contract' in my country..
2772  Economy / Reputation / Re: Flagging accounts which are up to sale [DT member actions needed] on: June 22, 2019, 08:21:32 PM
[..] After receiving the confidential information, you did not follow through on your end of the contract, and the person suffered damages in the form of decreased value of what he is selling as a direct result of your actions.
[...]

What the hell?

How did my expection to receive an PM to get the proof of ownership decrease the value of what he is selling?

I didn't know accounts lose value for each PM sent... But that's probably because i don't buy/sell accounts..
2773  Economy / Reputation / Re: Flagging accounts which are up to sale [DT member actions needed] on: June 22, 2019, 08:09:05 PM
Where did you read I said you did a scam?

I just agreed to it was unethical.

Nothing else.


Not replying to you here, but to AdolfinWolf:
Interesting point of view. I kind of agree here, despite these people being account sellers, was it really right to mislead them (and in a way, scam them?) as 2 wrongs don't make a right. Curious as to how other people think about this..


mindrust, i think you celebrated the rise of BTC/USD a bit too much already  Tongue
2774  Economy / Reputation / Re: Flagging accounts which are up to sale [DT member actions needed] on: June 22, 2019, 08:02:31 PM
You ever come across the notion that people want to buy an established account to join a sig campaign instead of devoting time and bullshit establishing an account?  you fuckers throwing rocks live in glass houses.
Signature campaigns don't want bought accounts farmed by one person. (they clearly state that you'll get banned if you were found to multiaccount spamming) They want real individuals. So your argument is invalid.
you cant tell if an account is bought.  you're an idiot.

So.. just because it is hard to tell whether an account has been bought.. it is ok to do something which is not permitted by the signature campaign managers.. just to join such a campaign ?  Roll Eyes
So.. if i am not getting caught.. i can rob a bank ?



You're too quick witted for me....i think you deserve a spot in the DT list with those other ass clowns.

He is a member of the DT1 list. Or is this some joke i don't understand?



I do think it is unethical to tell him that you will trade with him after he provides information, and after receiving information, you do not trade with him "prove the second, then we can do it", and to say that you will pay for something, and subsequently not pay "I pay 350 if it's good" "I pay 550 for green trust legendary ok". It also looks like you entered into a contract with the person, but it does not appear you followed through: "Ok send me message from this acc and we have deal", responding to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=167659 that is a "green trust hero member" to which you agreed to pay 550 for. I don't see evidence you paid him.

If this person were to open up a written contract flag against you, it would be valid.
Interesting point of view. I kind of agree here, despite these people being account sellers, was it really right to mislead them (and in a way, scam them?) as 2 wrongs don't make a right. Curious as to how other people think about this..

I kinda agree with quickseller but since I am not the one who shared those PM's I don't care.

It is OP's problem.

I wouldn't call that scam.
It definitely would have been a scam if i took those accounts (he offered me to send credentials first) and not pay him afterwards.

But just accepting a deal and later rescinding does not fall under the scam-category IMO.

Unethical? Yes.
Unfair? Yes.
Mean and misleading? Yes.

But scamming? Definitely no, IMO



Account sales according to the rulles of this website are NOT prohibited. Flagging these accounts is abuse of the trust system. Case closed.

It is not.

People behind bought accounts are NOT to be trusted.. simply because they didn't earn any trust or acceptance in this forum.
They bought an account which did.. So tagging them as what they are (simply just bought accounts, no value behind it) is not an abuse of the trust system.

*I appreciate it has advantages for some altcoin users being able to see all their coins in one place.

Not even this..

You can only view the balances of the altcoins which are directly supported by ledger live (which can be sent / received via ledger live).
The majority of coins (especially those who only have 'basic' support) are not viewable / accessible using ledger live.

Only 23 out of 79 coins are natively supported and can be viewed by ledger live (excluding Monero, NEO, etc.. ).
2776  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Written down password doesn't unlock wallet.dat, how to setup typo brute-force on: June 22, 2019, 07:35:09 PM
My password is a long sentence, about 100 characters long.

Wow.. this definitely is overkill..

If you are using lower case letters only, a password with the length of 20 is already more than secure enough.
If you add special characters to it (which you have in your password), you get the same level of security with 16 chars (note that this is calculated without numbers in the password; only lower case letter and special characters).

100 chars is way too long, this just makes it more error-prone. Effectively, it doesn't protect your private keys 'more'.
You should rather focus more on the security of the computer / network instead of a password which is insanely long.

I am selling your account for 2btc.

This is basically what he was doing. That's the part which confused me exactly.

I guess in this situation It comes down to that If I trust YOU or not.
Which is why bob123 asked the account seller to send them a message from said account they supposedly had for sale, right?

>>https://imgur.com/if7k5iX

Or do you not trust/want to take bob's word for it in this situation?

Didn't see that one. Now it is all clear. Was celebrating $11k gotten a bit clumsy.  Grin


That's by the way also the reason i have [Proven that the account is really up to sale and owned by the seller] behind some of the accounts.
These are all the accounts which i received a message from after demanding a proof that they really own the account.

Those who don't have the tag behind them, have been mentioned as up to sale by the seller, but didn't give me proof of ownership in form of a message.

1)
The accounts provided by 'SeW900'  (or better: @TrustedAccSeller on telegram) were:


According to him, some of them (the first and/or the second one) are already banned.
However, the remaining ones - which he wanted to sell - are not banned yet.

Not exactly.

If a buyer now wants you to proof that you own the account and you send a message from my account.. then this is what happened.
If you just claim you sell this account without any proof of ownership, this is far away from what happened.



Maybe bob123 can give you access to his throwaway account alice321 to verify the posts if you don't believe the screenshots.

Absolutely, not a problem at all.

I can give any (trusted) member the credentials to log in and verify.



@op can you provide some proof of the telegram convo please.

Edit. Specifically the conversation with 'SeW900'  (or better: @TrustedAccSeller

As far as i understood SeW900 is not @TrustedAccSeller, but a friend of him.
SeW900 is 'Walter' and 'his friend' (the person who sells the accounts) is @TrustedAccSeller.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=167659

How do I know If this isn't a game to make these accounts get red trust?

The account is suspicious as fuck with no merits, only 2 posts in 2018. But how can I be sure?

1. I was speaking to an account seller
2. He offered to sell this account
3. He proved that he indeed owns this account.


I understand this concern regarding the other accounts (where i didn't get any proof about the ownership)
I mean.. i could say "i sell account 'theymos' for 1 BTC'.. without proof you can't be sure.

But in this case i strongly believe this is evidence enough  Huh
