I really don't think any of those sites are going to have any impact on cleaning this mess. As long as stupid people exist, shitcoins will hold value. You cannot expect innovation to be considered valuable by those that do not understand them or care to. That's like an atheist preaching to the choir boy.

Or the choir boy preaching to the atheist. Wink

Here we go...

Hi, potentially ignorant question but now that Mintcoin is 100% PoS is the transaction time still 2 minutes?

I see that the mining block time was 30 seconds with 4 required confirmations.

Does this change due to PoS or not? I see you get PoS payment every 20 days.

Transaction time is still 30 seconds (under ideal conditions).... full confirmation in 2 minutes (under ideal conditions).

Thanks, appreciated.

Why you guys don't contact theymos and ask both dev's IP history and seriously no one tried to check if their name and number is correct or not?

Copy of OP is here
https://bitcointa.lk/threads/pos-edgecoin-marketplace-gambling-advanced-wallet-ipo-stage-2-20-days.289952/

That's what I was thinking. Easy for a mod to give out the IP address's of the account. If indeed there is an FBI investigation then will want this information.

I've contacted the admins before about previous scams and they are unwilling to do anything about it.

The funny thing is because they are allowing these scams to happen they are partly liable and could be sued in a court of law. All though not aiding and abetting a criminal act they are willfully ignoring crimes which can put them in some hot water if enough people group together to form a class-action lawsuit (which in my opinion they should).

heres an excerpt from http://www.ericgoldman.org/writings/websiteliabilityalert.htm on website liability :
Quote
4.         Other Claims. Until the scope of the Communications Decency Act’s safe harbor is more fully understood, the range of potential claims against websites is impossible to define. If the safe harbor defense is not available, websites will need to develop other defenses, if they can, against claims for user-caused harms and attendant claims that the website knew of the harm and failed to take reasonable actions to prevent or remedy the harm.

I'd like to start a petition soon but I'm still compiling data. If I can get everyones support I believe we can make this community a better place by imposing a set of community regulations that we can all agree on (like mandatory escrow, no self-moderated ANN threads, etc).

The first step will be to organize all the data of the most recent scams, how many people were scammed, how much money, etc.
Then create a thread explaining the situation, what we want to do about it, and put it to a vote.

If we can steer everyone to that thread and vote we might be able to force some positive change.

Can I get a show of support of how many would consider signing a petition/vote?

I'll do whatever it takes to clean this fucking place up.

People should also be aware of a few things.

I have not played with this website a lot but: https://bitiodine.net/
You can link and batch wallet addy's from this web site.
I'm sure it will make things much easier for the FBI, IRS or anybody that wants to compile a list of wallet addy's that are connected.

If anybody is stupid enough to think they cannot be found by using BTC or any Crypto is just that - STUPID.

Also, there is a website about to launch: http://www.shitcoins.info

I can't wait to start listing Scam/Shit Coin's here.
This also means that we'll have back-up when informing people that it is a scam.


I learned A LOT from EDG scam and I will be a LOT more careful in the future - Live and learn but...
I'll still keep looking for this little fuck.
I know s/he is reading this and probably even posting here, still.
You can only hide for so long.......

Wow, that website looks very nice! I hope it lives up to its message, too many crappy coins flooding the market.
I'm very sorry you lost what I am assuming is a large amount to this scam. Sad

It pains me to say, but the FBI and/or interpol simply doesn't care about cryptocurrencies and that's the way it's supposed to be; for better and for worse. Only in situations of money laundering, identity theft, phishing, viruses, credit card theft, etc will the FBI get involved. The IRS has classified Bitcoin as property for taxation purposes and FinCEN regards it as a currency for regulatory reasons.

I assure you, no one but yourself has the opportunity to regain your money and bring justice to those who destabilize this community!
Adding to this I am all for the anti-shitcoin revolution and would love to join you in defeating the cynical forces that thrive on innocents. Smiley

371  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [Wallets Stolen By Hackers][We're Sorry][Contact Anon136 For Escrow] on: April 27, 2014, 10:58:10 PM

I will have to agree. Anon and escrow.ms you might be turning some people away with your requiring private keys. Some people are noobs and don't understand how things work. It's also a moot point, because we are not talking about shitloads of money per person here. So the chances of someone hacking their bitcointalk account just for that .1 to 2 BTC is rather low.

Requiring a PM with the tx id and a receiving wallet address should be more than enough security.
You could also let people opt-in to withdrawal only by private key proof. That way those who are investing more can choose a hightened security (and pay a higher fee).

You might consider adjusting your terms.


I never said It's a mandatory requirement, you can check my other IPO's Most investors didn't sent any keys to me, If it's hard use can send funds and ask escrow provider about it. But I will sure remove that requirement from future escrow upon one condition which is, if user wants refund he need to prove that he sent those funds from his wallet.

Most escrow providers encourage users to send funds from their own wallet due to security and for refund process. (Ie: If some investors account got hacked, he can simply ask escrow provide to give refund on different address)

In this IPO,I think main issue was fees.. (Anon136, please don't mind) which was..

My fees are 0.02BTC or 0.9% which ever is greater and it will be taken off the top when ever i release or refund those coins.

If some investor wants to send 0.1 btc, 0.02 BTC is too much.

The BTC and LTC still haven't moved from those addresses...

Why do you expect it to move?

If they want to convert it to fiat it will have to go somewhere.

Why abandon Bitcoin?

Working on a service/project that will require it's own coin.

This will just be a simple fork of Peercoin (PoS algo)

Nothing special about the coin


I can pay you straight in Bitcoin or we can work out an arrangement between BTC/LTC/PPC.

Also, if you're interested in project details and a potential partnership rather than a large (relatively) one time payment we can assess that possibility.


Message me to continue this conversation.

thank you - it's too bad people have nothing better to do than steal - guess they're too lazy to go out and find a real job and be productive - it's a shame they were raised in a manner where they can live with themselves after stealing from others.

In a very real sense, their greatest victims are themselves.

Consider: Satoshi Nakamoto could buy a swanky seaside estate in the East Hamptons without a second thought except for the IRS. BCNext, whoever he is, will never have to work again. As long as he knows how to manage money, he has the scarce luxury of never having to worry about his bills. He could work on whatever he wants - no matter how exotic or flaky - and his standard of living won't suffer.

But what if Edgecoin didn't take off? If the OP hadn't scoffed off with the BTC, if he had thrown his mind and heart into the project, he would have had this luxury in only one short year - the luxury of updating his resume:

"EDGECOIN FOUNDER AND CHIEF DEVELOPER:"

Had the OP been on the level, he could have put down a paragraph that would give him a real leg up in getting a "real" job - a job with a starting salary of about $100,000 per annum.

But instead, the kid threw it all away. He ruined his reputation, made people around here even more guarded, and ran the real risk of being doxed into welfare country. All for the sum of about 50 unescrowed BTC. The price of a mid-range car, or about one hundred and thirty pieces of one-ounce silver.

I lost ~$200. Whoever the OP was, he lost much more.

Good way to look at it Smiley

i thought it was like 75 btc

@Jonesd: Thanks!

@Gingermod: Just a rough estimate. Feel free to adjust the figures to your liking.

Ever heard of a "blockchain" ?
