the way i see it, ognasty is siphoning "investor" money to himself and continues to do so. am i correct?
Which one of the circle jerkers that have made a hobby of extorting people and smearing OgNasty are you? (This doesn’t mention the other shady and scammy behavior you are are involved in).

... I thought that the transaction would be on hold until either you receive it by going online or the sender closes it.
Assuming you and I have an open LN channel, we will need to exchange a total of 6(iirc) partially (each by one party) transactions in a very specific order. It is more complex if a transaction needs to be routed through other LN nodes.
3504  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: List of bitcoin full nodes held by bitcointalk users? on: March 04, 2018, 04:32:47 AM
When you trade with someone and that person knows specifically how to connect to the full node you will use to verify the transaction you are receiving, your security will marginally decrease.

If you are dealing with sufficiently large amounts, your trading partner can connect to your node via many other nodes so that they are the only entity you are connected to and can then broadcast a transaction to only your node (perform a Sybil attack). (If you are dealing in smaller amounts the cost of this will probably outweigh the expected gain).

You can publish the identity of a node you are running for fun and/or so others can use data you publish for research, however if you do this, I would use another full node (including possibly an electrum server) to verify transactions sent to you, especially when the other party sends first and when dealing with larger amounts.

Is anyone able to give an explanation as to why lauda is unable to give negative trust to so many clearly purchased accounts besides that these are his sockpuppets?

Hey quickspazzer.. I would imagine it is because you bought it to everyone's attention.. that and you are a cunt
That would not explain why lauda has failed to leave negative trust against these accounts.

The only explanation I can give is that these belong to lauda....

3507  Other / Meta / Re: Request: Show default trust on Marketplace for guests (non-registered users) on: March 03, 2018, 07:55:15 PM
    Although I think that's the best solution, I see other options too:
    • Making the whole Marketplace board available only to registered users. Guests would be forwarded to the registration form when trying to reach it.
    I like this idea. It would cut down on the number of people coming here to attempt to engage in shady dealings to occur offsite. This would also hurt the google search result rankings of websites that are posted by these shady characters.

    I would also point out that your proposal would not address the fact that the forum has many mirrors run by others, and it would be nearly impossible to force those mirrors to display trust ratings. 

    • Showing red trust for everyone until they register and set up their trust list. Something similar to what theymos is thinking about for registered users with DefaultTrust only.
    This is basically the trust system currently with certain very shady people running around giving negative trust in masse. I think this dilutes the effect of a warning of an actual scammer, or a likely scammer. It would also make it easier for a scammer to fake having legitimate trust when they tell their marks that they have their trust settings setup incorrectly.

    For those who are interested this is an interesting report on tether by bitmex.
    thanks for sharing. it is good information.
    atleast we know holding tether is more risky than holding real USD

    I don't think that should be surprising to anyone.

    (82.5%)^90 = 3.02590556e-6%

    Still astronomically small, so I will continue.

    That's the wrong equation. You've calculated the odds of hitting exactly 90 out of 100. You want the odds of 90 or more out of 100, in which case you would use the binomial distribution referred to earlier in this thread. The true result is around 3%, about one million times higher than the one you've quoted.

    If you say so. Well, guess I have a 3% chance, but I'm telling you it will happen. Wait and see. If you want me to extend it to 200 days or 1000 days then I don't mind doing so, but I'm also sure that interest in this thread will drop after 15 or so days
    Extending this to 5 years will not prove anything. The only way to form any kind of opinion about your script is for it to get audited, or at least the only way to form an opinion that your script is not a complete scam is for it to get audited.


    You should allow aTriz to release the script he received from you.

    After multiple more weeks, Lauda has yet to dispute any of the claims in this thread.

    Lauda seems to maintain his position that he wants to subtly imply this is untrue, while very clearly not giving a concrete response to this. In my eyes, this makes lauda a liar.

    Also, most of those saying OgNasty is a scammer are either directly part of an extortion ring, or are very closely associated with those who are.

    Yeah well, I gave aTriz the script, he ran it, it worked, he vouched. I thereafter deleted the script from the chat. Pretty simple to get, right?
    So do you have a problem with aTriz disclosing the script in order to prove the script actually exists?

    Do I have a problem with aTriz disclosing a script that I was trying to, at one point, selling for 1 BTC a piece? Absolutely.
    You do realize that as it stands now, no one will ever buy your script from you, for a number of reasons.

    If your script has any level of legitimacy, you should allow others who have the ability to audit the code and methods to do so. This is probably the only realistic way of redeeming your trust.
    3515  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Is bitcoinfees.earn.com systematically overestimating fees? on: March 03, 2018, 08:48:30 AM
    OK, if you don't think it is the -mempoolexpiry can you explain this another way?

    I've just taken the following screenshots immediately after a block has been found.

    earn.com


    jochen-hoenicke.de


    The earn.com mempool has 601 transactions queued at 171+ that the mining pools are ignoring. jochen-hoenicke.de mempool has only 4 transactions above 170.

    If they factor in 600 high fee transactions that the mining pools are ignoring then obviously that is going to inflate their fee estimate. The -mempoolexpiry is the best explanation I can come up with, can you think of a better one?
     
    Jochen very specifically only includes unconfirmed transactions while earn includes both confirmed and unconfirmed transactions in each of their relevant time periods. Those websites give very different information.

    If I broadcast a valid transaction with a transaction fee of 350 sat/byte, my transaction will remain on Jochen until the following block when, as of now, it is almost certain to get confirmed, while it will remain on earn for two weeks.

    Also, just because the miners cannot find sufficient transactions to fill up a block in its entirety does not mean there are no remaining paying transactions out there. If a transaction will have a cost to the miner in the risk that including that additional transaction will incrementally increase the risk the block getting orphaned is greater than the transaction fee (both within the transaction, and out of band), then the transaction will not confirm, even if there are no other paying transactions.

    3517  Economy / Gambling / Re: Proving that my gambling script works. on: March 03, 2018, 05:19:24 AM
    However, I seriously doubt that Alia’s script be wholly non-existent.  Perforce, something must have been on-hand to provide to paying marks customers.  It simply would not do, if the script-selling scam business had to close down early due to paying customers complaining of having received nothing at all.
    The script was being sold for ~$10,000, which is a lot of money if you are a 19 year old girl, a 15 year old boy, or both ($5k for each of them). She would only need to sell one copy in order to have profited very handsomely. When you have a vouch from a fairly reputable person, it wouldn't even make sense to ask to use escrow because if you pay for the script and alia doesn't send it to you, you can simply ask the person who vouched for the script for a copy. Once alia receives payment for one copy of her script, she can simply abandon her account, and move onto another medium to scam another way (or otherwise leave).

    As for the question of aTriz disclosing his copy of the putative script, I think that raises a far stickier issue than that of the signature ad contract.  I am not familiar with the situation, other than what’s been discussed in public threads; but given Alia’s secretiveness about that script, I presume that it must have been provided to him under some sort of confidentiality terms.

    For an analogy, consider PMs which Alia sent to me.  I have publicly disclosed a few of those; but I only did so when reasonably required for an investigative or otherwise evidentiary purpose, and I minimized the disclosures as much as practicable.  Even after what has happened to date, I would not dump out all the PMs in public.  That has nothing to do with my opinion of Alia, and everything to do with my principles about PMs.
    A couple of things:
    1 - PM stands for 'Personal message' and notice the word 'private' is not within the name
    2 - If you want to maintain confidentiality, GPG (or another encryption means should be used), this is primarily how I judge if I will be willing to disclose information received via PM
    3 - If GPG is not used, there is the potential for anyone with access to the forum DB to trivially read your PMs, even after they are deleted because the entire DB is backed up every day.


    To your point, it is possible alia sent the script (if she in fact sent a script) encrypted, as she said she recommonds this be done, and/or that aTriz otherwise agreed to confidentiality. However, at this point, the legitimacy of the alleged script has been throughly debunked by multiple people in multiple ways, so it is probably safe to say that no one will be buying the script from her. It is very well possible that alia will agree to forgo any previously agreed upon confidentiality and doing so is certainly within her rights.

    I would point out that alia threatened to release information about aTriz (source:
    Quote from: alia
    I will be forced to reveal certain things that he has done.
    However from what I have seen, alia has not released any negative information about aTriz. One could argue that alia was bluffing when she made that statement, however aTriz would be very much aware that alia didn't have negative information about him and it should have reasonably be known that making that statement would make alia look very bad. To me, it does not make any sense this would be a bluff.

    A lot of the concerns about aTriz were more or less being ignored in the thread about aTriz, and most of the conversation was surrounding the signature contract. If alia released the claim that aTriz did not actually receive/use the script he was claiming to vouch for, then this could easily be glossed over.

    I don't think alia is exactly putting in a lot of effort into making it appear she is actually running any kind of script, she is explicitly saying she will not put her money where her mouth is and wont use her own money to bet, all of her bets are 'all in' bets that most gamblers will not incorporate into their betting strategy (for reasons such as superstition, but also more legitimate reasons, such as to save on tx fees -- also gambling is supposed to be fun, and betting all your money at once reduces the amount of time players can be having fun), and her gambling account is making a very small number of bets. All of this ignores the fact that the legitimacy of the script has been debunked, and the legitimacy of any positive results has been debunked.

    If you operate under the assumption that alia is not using a script in this thread, then the only reasonable explanation as to what the point of this thread is would be to expose aTriz for giving fake vouches. 

    As a counterpoint to the above, it is possible that alia is trying to frame aTriz into it looking like he was giving a fake vouch. However I don't think this is the case because when their relationship was scrutinized, the vouch did not appear legitimate even when ignoring all of the above. This is a script that was being sold for $10,000, however the basis for aTriz's vouch was that he made bets totaling well under of penny and had winnings of well under a penny (he said he used faucet money to test the script) -- think about that for a minute and let that sink in. think about just how ridiculous that sounds. 

    Until aTriz can prove otherwise, it appears that aTriz was vouching for a script that didn't even exist

    Oh, here we go!  I wrote the above prediction, hit “Preview”, and was informed in red letters that another post had been made—this one.  “Here, you are clearly setting the stage for some suggestion that aTriz actually disclose the script—predictably followed by pressure on him to disclose the script, and accusations that he’s protecting a scammer if he doesn’t cough it up.”  Well, you don’t wait long building these things up, now do you?
    Take a look at my above logic. I would probably go a step further and say that aTriz cannot even produce evidence of bets placed (by him) in the relevant timeframe.

    I wonder if aTriz is able to produce a script of any kind that he was vouching for...

    I think it was shaken out rather clearly in those threads that aTriz doesn’t have any scripting ability worth speaking of.
    Maybe I was not clear.

    alia allegedly sent aTriz some kind of gambling script for him to test and vouch for. aTriz claimed to test this $10,000 gambling script with faucet money for 10 minutes and vouched for it. In order for aTriz to test this script, alia would have had to have sent the script to him. I am curious to know if aTriz is able to produce/show the script that alia sent him.

    According to the OP, alia is using the handle 'makealiagreatagain' on bustabit, however a review of the betting history on that account only shows four bets made, even though the OP claims to have run the script for two days.

    I am willing to say there is a fairly decent chance that alia is not running a script, especially considering all of alia's bets appears to be 'all in' bets.

    If alia is not currently using a script, then maybe there was never any kind of script in the first place.
