Too much risk for a measly 5%. Centralized, glitchy, KYC-prone exchange pawning off your bitcoins to some nebulous "activities", what could possibly go wrong.

Pissing (poorly) on the cerebral cortex might be the issue

Seriously though I don't really have a good tl;dr, since I'm not entirely sure what's going on. Ratimov seems to have a lot of "enemies", including korner's farm and a bunch of other assholes who doxed him and that's disgusting. He's not a scammer as far as I know. I disagree with his use of trust system for petty and/or personal stuff so I've had him excluded in my trust list since forever.

So how does it work, do you ask for a birth certificate before engaging into any kind of coupling?

This is an issue with almost any kind of storage, but a backup solves that. Arguably a backup of a paper wallet is easier, cheaper, more convenient, and easier verifiable than most other types of storage. Low tech FTW.

Or upgrade paper to some sort of etched metal type of thing.

Even AI can't break the laws of physics.

It doesn't matter. You're responsible for content you post here. If the content breaks the rules you'll be banned. Same with trust ratings, if you "manage" a scam you'll get red trust. If you didn't want to be related to AdkinsBET you should have given them your design and told them to post it themselves, they have quite a few accounts for that.

Point me to the rule that says so. I don't think there is one. You never said the word "scam" but you're essentially trying to moderate a thread because it's a scam evading red trust. I doubt moderators will get involved here.


I think the new OP can be red trusted and type-1-flagged and this would put a yellow banner on the thread. There is nothing that can be done about self-mod. Many scams have abused this feature. The only option is for someone else to create an alternative unlocked non-self-mod thread for open discussion.

I don't think it will or should be deleted. Scams are not moderated. Locking and re-creating a thread as self-mod is allowed. There is no option to make an existing thread self-mod, and there's a good reason for that too but I digress. AFAIK there is no rule that has been broken here.

You might as well tell us what those items are if you want someone to bite, but it would likely have to be a person local to you unless you pay for shipping both ways.

If it's this stuff: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5310078 - it looks like it would be a pain for the lender to liquidate if you default.

Why would "ETH folks" worry about something as mundane as cryptography... their MO is if anything bad happens just fork off the "wrong" coins.

Seriously though, the RSA weaknesses AFAIK are caused by incorrect implementations, so Ethereum implementation might be ok if it hasn't been cracked yet.

Since you need a computer of some sort to spend any coins, that's not exactly a vulnerability of the wallet.

AFAIK paper wallet is vulnerable only to a couple of things - wrench attack, and physical theft with no wrench involved.

I mined what I have, and sold (yeah yeah spare me the righteous indignation) enough to cover the costs and then some, so I guess it counts as < $1 (or below zero) out of pocket. Or is this partial mindrusting?

BigVern didn't scam anyone until he did, same goes for most scam exchanges. Come to think of it, your choice to impersonate a known scam exchange and run it in the circa-2014 fuck-the-customer style is probably not a coincidence. It's a good IQ test.


Come on. You know it's running on some shitty VM somewhere.

Your posts above indicate otherwise. And who the fuck are you anyway? TillKoeln's sockpuppet? Just a random shill?

LOL assholes gonna asshole.

If people were rational they obviously wouldn't be sending any money to some shithole exchange that calls customer complaints "fudding".

I'm not talking about some nebulous "quality". Rule #1:


Re-posting adds zero value and is pointless.

There are forum rules against low value posts and re-posting the same stuff is a low/zero value contribution to the forum. Hopefully now with a documented and confirmed case it will be easier for mods to deal with you if you continue this.

What exactly are you going to check and what's that "experience"? Your account was created barely 3 years ago and your posts are mostly bounty reports and shitposts until you woke up a couple of months ago and started offering some bounty services.

Do you think he's healthy enough to play as a starter for the whole season? I mean... his recovery was quite remarkable but in the Eagles game he looked fragile.

I would not pay individuals but instead try to fix systemic racism and discrimination in housing, education, employment, voting etc, because any potential positive effects of monetary payments would be nullified by that. Neither is happening so it's a pointless discussion. Hopefully I'll live to see the day when the concept of discrimination is no longer a political issue but I'm not gonna hold my breath because that's bad for my respiration.
