What happened:: theyoungmillionaire (u=1180530) has borrowed bitcoin from me, and agreed to adhere to a payment plan that consisted of 6 partial payments. The whole of the loan plus interest was due to be completely payed off by June 4th, 2020. In early January theyoungmillionaire contacted me via PM and informed me that he would be unable to make the payment due that month, but would instead make arrangements to pay off the whole loan by the end of the month of January. As of this point in time I have not received any payments toward his loan. theyoungmillionaire has not logged into the forum since January 6, and has not responded to any PMs (3) that I have sent since that date.

Monitoring how the gambling addicts are now trying their luck with football in Russia/Turkey or are desperately looking for some table-tennis experts, I would think, that they wouldn't refrain from betting on over/under new Covid-19 cases per day in a particular country or even death tolls  The only addiction I can honestly claim to have suffered is to Copenhagen (not the city,) and exercise (Mt. Biking to be specific,) and arguably Bitcointalk.org. I understand addiction, and I can see how a streak of good luck could turn into an gambling addiction, I'm not trying to judgmental or anything. But, damn you guys are posting some funny stories. I've actually WATCHED women's volleyball in Pakistan;) You say that like it was difficult for you, or something, lol. I think I would find it hard NOT to watch. |

It's official; the Patriots are not re-signing Brady. Wow, it's the end of a NFL era! 20 years of Dominating the league, and setting so many records, Brady is the greatest of all time. I say this as a life-long 49ers fan, who grew up watching Joe Montana dominate during his time. I'm not a Patriots fan, but I do consider myself a Tom Brady fan. I wish him a long and healthy continuation of his great career. The news of him going to Tampa seems fairly solid. I think it's a good move for Brady and the Bucks. Of course nothing is official until the contract is signed, so we'll see. Part of me wanted to see #12 wearing the 9er's Red and Gold. Not because I think it would make the team better (which it might have,) but I think Brady really wanted it. He grew up a 9er's fan, and his Dad is still a big fan of the team. He also has family ties in the area, so he would essentially be coming home. And it would have been pretty cool to have the best quarterback ever wearing our colors. Again.  Belichick must have a plan, but who will be starting for the Pats this season? Jarrett Stidham is probably still too green for the Pats' offense. But who would have thought any different about Brady back in 2001? I read a report that suggested back in 2017 Belichick anticipated Brady would want to go to the 9ers and there would be a chance to get Garoppolo back. The report claimed that's why Belichick didn't shop Jimmy G around, and just suddenly traded him to SF. And, it almost happened. Belichick is a scheming football guru, who seems to "know" things, but did he actually plan that? |

Just wanted to share this. Came back from a break, now it's full of rubbish threads by "legendaries" whored accounts that discuss rubbish, looks like one of the fake forum on forumwarz. WTF.
Oh, the shame! CobraJ says our forum is "full of rubbish!" What ever should we do to appeal to his enlightened sense of value? How can we ever repair our damaged self esteem? [/s] Well, after spending a little time going through your post history, I can say this with the utmost sincerity; you should have stayed on break. |

if buying BTC with my PAYPAL funds constitutes evidence of criminal activity Offering, and agreeing to provide a service for an established price, then not satisfying your end of the agreement and refusing to compensate is criminal activity. Mr **** ***** a.k.a Busy1234 What the fuck is this? Are you threatening to DOX busy124? Not to mention that it was not just about giving him 300 USD back but I had also to remove his latest bank account from my Paypal so his banker can recycle it and give it to someone else (don't ask again screenshots, I won't again to spend whole day in chat to search for text to screenshot). Can you please provide more details about this statement? Why was busy124's bank account connected to your PayPal, and what was the point of doing this in the first place? ~
Those who know me, know that I have been always honest.
I made an agreement with this guy
~
the funds which caused these issues were not my funds.
Did you warn busy124 that you were contracting with other individuals to pay him, and you refuse to be held accountable if those other folks charge-back? If so, show proof. If not, then you are obligated to honor your agreement with busy124. It's that simple. |

Bittrex requested this thing That sound incredibly odd, I've never heard of an exchange making such a request. Is this in lieu of providing KYC? There are some services I can think of, that might fit your requirements, but I really don't even want to mention their names. Too many red-flags, and scam accusations. The risk of using them might be small, but it ain't zero and probably depends on the amount of funds. The more you have the higher the risk, of course. I'm with malevolent; "host" your own wallet, send Bittrex an address, tell them to send your money. |

I've traded with walmart34 in the past, but he sent first. Recently I was asked to escrow a couple of deals with walmart34/@naober, but they didn't go through. Twice he claimed to have issues with with his PayPal account, and the last attempt (March 12th) he never responded at all. Anyway, if you are concerned whether it's the real walmart34 or an impostor you can forward one of his messages to @userinfobot, and it'll display an ID number. Here's what I have for @naober: @naober

Actually, I don't know where I can buy tether with Fiat where I can deposit via wire transfer in the U.S?
Seems like Gemini, coinbase don't support tether. Is there any other option?
In case you haven't gotten an answer; Kraken. They support Tether, but honestly I haven't used their service, so it's not a recommendation. I would just use Coinbase or Bitstamp to buy BTC then send it to Binance to trade for whatever. |

No you need a stupid long passphrase. Of course the longer and more complex of a pass phrase you use the harder it is to crack, but even an eight-character pass phrase with unusual characters, numbers, upper, and lower case letters would take many years to crack. But that's not addressing my other concern about the Ledger and the use of a secondary PIN. Regardless of how stupid-long your pass phrase is, hiding it behind a 9-digit numeric PIN would defeat the purpose, no? |
|
|

I'm no expert, but I think that the security issues with Trezor (and similar wallets like KeepKey) are over-hyped. It's my opinion that no hardware wallet should be used without a Bip39 pass phrase, and that includes the Ledger. By simply using a Bip39 pass phrase, your seed alone becomes worthless. Unless the hacker knows your pass phrase your bitcoin is safe, at least for a brief period of time, depending on the complexity of the pass phrase. Hopefully this will provide you enough time to notice your wallet has been lost or stolen. It's my understanding that in order to hack the Trezor to obtain the seed-phrase the hacker needs to have the wallet in hand (i.e. physical attack,) and he must know the PIN. Even the strongest PINs are vulnerable to brute force, being composed of numbers only. Like Ledger models, both Trezor wallets have a security feature that wipes the device if the wrong PIN is entered three times. According to the Kraken Labs article: We then crack the encrypted seed, which is protected by a 1-9 digit PIN, but is trivial to brute force. So, one can reason that if the PIN on a Trezor is trivial to brute-force, then why would the PIN on a Ledger be any more secure? In fact, I would suggest that if one can brute-force your Ledger PINs then your coins are more at risk. I'm assuming that anyone who has set up a Bip39 pass phrase on their Ledger has also attached it to a secondary PIN (which should also be "trivial" to brute force.) The secondary PIN is a pretty cool feature that the Ledger offers, and helps to save time when accessing your wallet, but wouldn't that compromise the added security of having a strong pass phrase? Again, I'm only hypothesizing about something of which I have limited understanding. |

And what, praytell, is the practical difference between a digitally signed OpenPGP userid claiming a forum uid, and a `gpg --clearsign` statement claiming a forum uid? The forum ID proving ownership of the key. Right now the owner of the key is claiming ownership of the forum account, and that's all we know for certain. The owner of the forum account has not proven ownership of the key. Only a signed message could do that. |

@bertshowell, I think you're missing some key facts about the way payment requests work. They are merely a note or a message that you can share with someone that owes you money. For example, I create a payment request, and right-clicked on it to get some information:  If I click on "Copy URI" I get a window to pop up with this text: bitcoin:1Q3Z9DWwMAKmYyYHW6hUK7YJXUu8Laqeyp?amount=0.01&message=wages%20for%20flipping%20burgers&time=1584298995 I can also save the request as a .bip70 file, which can be opened by various bitcoin clients. Again, it's just a message that includes the payment address, the amount requested, and the description text. The request doesn't interact with the blockchain. If I were to send you this request, and you use it to populate your "send" transaction, my request will show the same thing as the history tab. Or, you can ignore the request and build a send transaction of your own. For example you can create a transaction that has the same payment address, the same amount, but in the description you type "DireWolfM14's wages for flipping burgers," or decide to leave it blank. In that case you would send me the money you owe me, but my request will continue to show "Pending." |

At this point there is no proof that Ploni has access to the secret key, or the ability to sign a message with it. Anyone can create a GPG key and embed any user name they want into it, but the fact that Spartacus Ploni posted the key and it has his forum ID in it, we can assume that he created the key, and that he has access to the secret key which will allow him to sign messages. But that's it, all we have is enough to assume, not enough to prove.
I was thinking about it and yes I suppose its more just a matter of common courtesy and/or protocol to sign a message from the key as proof of ownership. Theoretically, somebody could have created the key pair and the account and then handed off only the account to nullius er ploni baloney (though however unlikely), but much like Craig Wright's interpretation of private key ownership, signing a message with the key only proves that you own(ed) the key at that particular moment, so ultimately either way, well I guess, who really cares. Sorry, I made a mistake in my post; I left out a small, yet very important word. I do want to add that by creating the key and the forum account on the same day provides very compelling (if only circumstantial) evidence that indeed plonius created both the account and the key. Like you said, it's highly unlikely that two separate individuals would be clamoring to claim a newbie account, and concoct a sinister plan that entails a PGP "work of art." |

I know, right? Was this just an excuse for nullius to gush over his own genius? He sure does seem proud of himself, lol! I did import the key and noticed that, but its still not the same thing as providing a signature along with the key. It is extremely compelling rationale that the public key belongs to this user but there is no substitution for producing a signature from the corresponding private key.
In technical terms, nullius is right, but I agree with you. The point nullius is missing is that here, on this site on of the practical purposes of staking a GPG key is not only to claim ownership of the key, but to couple the key with your forum account. It's a security measure that could come in very handy if the account was ever hacked. At this point there is no proof that Ploni has access to the secret key, or the ability to sign a message with it. Anyone can create a GPG key and embed any user name they want into it, but the fact that Spartacus Ploni posted the key and it has his forum ID in it, we can assume that he created the key, and that he has access to the secret key which will allow him to sign messages. But that's it, all we have is enough to assume, not enough to prove. |
