Can confirm BTC-Banker and Bitcoin-H are affiliated.



Every time he just comes up with the same excuse saying he's the technical lead, glad you picked up on the fact that he's storing the pass-phrases.

I don't think he ever implied that, he just said that the two people who fall for scams are either people who don't understand what they're getting into and the people who want to be greedy and believe everything they see.

"A fool and his money are soon parted"

I personally think if you are greedy enough to think that a website can offer you 30% interest every day and all you have to do is send them your money, then maybe you need to have a long hard think about what you do with your money.

I loan you $30 in BTC.
After 90 days you pay me $31 in BTC.

Obviously the lender would have been better off holding the coins and probably made more profit if the price had gone up but I think pegging the price to USD is more attractive as I don't think anyone wants to end up in a situation where they borrow say 10 BTC and suddenly the price increases by 10x leaving the borrower stuck.

He left a lot of traces to his real identity - apart from the obvious scare factor I see no reason why trusted members would say there have been advances in legal proceedings against him. Bitcoin isn't anonymous, it's pseudonymous.

You can prove an entity owns x address, but you can't prove an individual owns x address unless there is a real identity linked to it, for example sending funds to an exchange where you are verified with ID proves you own that address since you can send funds from it (although not always because anyone command someone else to send coins on their behalf). Your leaving a verifiable trace.

Not through conventional means, but I'm sure I've heard stories of people claiming they had calls from Greendot that the card they applied was fraudulently obtained and that they'd have to reverse the transaction.

Still has time to log in. No doubt his method is possible, I know plenty of people who buy low on on site and sell high on another but they're not rich. They make a little extra change and that's about it. Problem is when you get into high volumes of trading that's when regulations kick in.

Great, now my second question is why does your site content look like it was stolen from other sources? Nothing I see there is original and it looks like the same site has been replicated multiples times. Is that another technical issue?

That's all good and well, but could you answer my question about the SSL certificate. How can we trust you with our coins if you can't even give us the basic protection needed for these kinds of services?

1. Encrypt your wallet.
2. Use 2FA if you're using an online service to hold your coins (which you shouldn't be doing anyway.)
3. Use something like Keyscrambler to avoid your keystrokes being monitered in the case of a keylogger trying to figure out your passphrase.
4. Don't download untrusted files and don't visit dodgy links.
5. Use a decent AV / anti-malware suite on your PC.

Why does your template show plagarized content from other sites that were known scams and if your secure why aren't you using a SSL certificate for your own site?


I'm no expert but sharing SSL certificates sounds like a bad idea....then again that's just me.

Oh right, let's forget about the fact that there's no possibility of fraudelent transactions, losses to businesses because of these chargebacks, way lower processing fees and almost instant confirmation.

So if it's not a Ponzi how are you paying investors such high rates?

Of course, anyone hiding behind a computer can decide to scam you after building trust but if I recall correctly there is legal action being taken against Projects in order to recover the lost funds.

It has it's pros and cons. People who constantly want to trash Bitcoin will use the fact that it's not reversible as their excuse to dismiss Bitcoin, as if scams like that don't happen with fiat money.

Hopefully people learn to use escrow or at least deal with people that can be held accountable through legal avenues. 

You should really discuss it with the staff member who banned you, there's not much we can do and any decision made would be solely up to them. Remember a forum is not a democracy, when you're on there you abide by the site owners rules.

What does that have to do with anything? Your still selling fraudulent obtained gift cards and OP has the right to let people know of the risks of buying from you.

People will buy $500 worth of cards from you, then when they get questioned about fraud you'll be long gone.

As said by someone else, HYIPs were just a jazzy name given to Ponzi schemes. The only way they could offer you such high returns was due to the fact that they used new investors funds to pay off the older investors. Check any decent P2P lending / investment site, such as Zopa - they don't offer high returns but they give a hell lot more than what a bank would and the listings are backed by credit checks.

Thing is BTCJam only does soft credit checking, it's not actually pulling regulated information to asses someone's risk when being loaned money. If BTCJam teamed up with someone like Experian who offer business services they could reduce a lot of time spent checking IDs, get a more reliable credit score and they even include debt recovery.

The downside to this is that people will bad credit will never be able to get a loan, even if they really can afford to pay it back.

Also the BTC would have to be pegged to USD to avoid problems with fluctuation.

Of course it will, we'll just run really long RJ-45 cables from computer to computer and create our own Internet. It's a bit like file sharing, WAN connections only made it easier but if people really wanted to share files they would find another way around it no matter what, even if it means giving someone 5000 floppy disks with .RAR archives.

Reinstall the client from Github and see if you get the same message. I know most AVs pick up on miners and they're false positives but I see no reason why unistall.exe would get flagged.
