Ahhhh.  MS Server requires the Certificate. Linux does not.  Good to know. It makes me think that Campbx is also hosted on an MS Server box as you said you could authenticate to the other exchanges but not to Campbx.  Glad you got it working!

I apologize for the embarrassment.

Sorry.

Now that's my secret sauce!

It's 1/3 technology 1/3 psychology 1/3 instinct 

You and I have traded.  I've never verified you.  I see you have high post count.  Longer board presence and many other successful trades. My trades have gone this way with a number of other member on this board except  TizzyTazzy  who scammed me.  I sent him 66 BTC without a second thought due to our previous interaction. He took advantage of that trust for a short term gain without a thought of the long term detriment to his reputation.   So it's not full proof.  But sometimes that is the cost of doing business.

Trading is based on trust, trust that the other side of the deal will hold up their end of the bargain.  You choose who to trust and who to not trust.  If you do a dozen trades and all of them occur in a certain orderly fashion, then one comes along and there is something strange about it and your Spidey senses start tingling then you could be headed for trouble.  You make too many of those bad choices then either you run out of money or you decide to get into a safer, less risky line of work. 

Michael Hendrix who ran Coinpay very successfully until paypay shut it down wrote a great article about this.

I think the biggest take-away from this post for me are:
1.  Scammers don't haggle over price - its not their money
2.  Scammers are always in a hurry.
3.  Scammers are are not repeat buyers.  They try to cash out and disappear.

Again the point of this tread is not to make accusations but to share the results of these verification techniques for the benefit of other members. Do with it what you will.   If a trader on this watch list is a  newbee who is legitimate and makes other successful trades I'll be glad to remove that user.

An no one will be placed on this list unless there is STRONG evidence of fraudulent behavior.

ok  thanks

It is a "small claim" not a "class action".  Fortunately if thebitman and patrick can come to terms the loan will pay off the creditors.

For the record.

Gweedo,

That is redundant when you are already calling

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);

Try it.

See that's the thing.  I don't know that this user is a scammer, and this user has not scammed me.  The point is we see a lot of newbee trolls coming on the boards looking for loans and trying to cash out cards and paypal and bank accounts.  I've seen this happen on more then a few occasions where they go on to scam other newbees or even regular more seasoned members.  While no transaction has occurred between this user and I, this user  has STRONGLY exhibited suspect behavior.   

Maybe I'm trying to play the bitcoin/Bitcointalk.org police and it not my place.  As I said previously maybe this thread should just be removed. 

But in an effort to create a safer trading environment I'm just saying be cautious with these users BEFORE they become scammers.

Make sense?

If you legitimately have the amount due to your creditors "frozen" in your paypal account there is no reason why you would not take this offer.  Unless of course you have already spent the bulk of the funds (on clothes) and don't have frozen funds in nearly the amount you owe.

If that is that case then you still need to consider this or another loan.  If you have/get a job there is no reason you could not payback the amounts you owe in the 5 months time.

Regardless, the people you owe did not extend a loan to you.  Now that you have a respected member of the community considering a loan to you I'm sure we all would strongly suggest you do what is necessary to acquire those funds and start paying people back as soon as possible.

I have to agree that

1.  Not having to install local client
2.  Not having to download the blockchain
3.  Having an intermediate "label" or email address to abstract the big, scary, confusing bitcoin address

will be essential to engaging mass market general users

I've not used coin-a-pult but Coinbase (for general UI) and blockchain.info (for technology and security)  seem to be leaders in this movement.

It is possible to list existing mywallet addresses/labels with the current mywallet blockchain.info api.

It seems the only way to manage labels/address is locally with a database and calling them from the local database to get balance or make payments.

Thanks.

waited 24 hours for paypal to authenticate his trade.

Thanks.

UPDATE
USER TizzyTazzy repaid 30 BTC and the cash value of 36 BTC in full.
Tizzy- Thank you for the payback.  I hope that unauthorized short-term loan was worth loosing you reputation (for a second time) here.


In my many trades I've used simple verification methods to gain additional trust of the users with whom I'm trading.  Almost all comply with any authentication requests. And a small fraction of users never respond again.  In fact using this method I have traded with a number of newbies and so far have not had a problem.  In fact the only time I have been scammed on this site are by two longer Standing Users.

* After previous trades and PM's about other potential Trades, I sent TizzyTazzy 66 BTC first and he disappeared.  After applying some pressure he has apologized and has since repaid 30 of 66 btc and has promised the replay the balance today.  (it also turned out that TizzyTazzy was also known as the scammer LEON among other user names.  Had I know this BEFORE the trade I would not have traded with him.)

Today I've had another SKETCHY interactions with other users and instead of forgetting about this and moving on I though it might be in the best interest of the boards to post here so:

1.  Other users who might not use verification can trade with caution.
2.  Mods or Admins can watch for multiple username from the same ip.

I think users can be removed from this list after a successful trade.

And if this is a bad idea please just delete the post.  

Also admins please move to the appropriate thread if necessary.

EDIT: if a user prefers anonymity and chooses not to authentic/trade that's not my concern.  However any users trying to authenticate with sketchy credentials will be posted here.

Thanks.

Yes.  And I think that has been suggested several times in several threads suffering to the bitcoinia scam.  Stephen Gornick probably knows where they all are.

With regards to oauth here is an interesting read.

On of the interesting things of the MintChip Challenge was that each hosted MintChip was assigned a unique SSL client-authentication certificate and a key, signed by the Canadian Mint and  distributed in the form of password-protected PKCS-12 files (.p12). These credentials then had to be installed on the client device prior to accessing any of the hosted services.  I know there is a raging debate about reliability and security of SSL certs due to the microsoft and other compromises, however I found this an  interesting and potential solution to the bitcoin security problem.
