Well, my patience has run dry, and my optimism about having my funds returned has also been drained.  Just wanted to make sure he cannot use the same account to swindle another.

This is regarding Thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=232053.msg2525923#msg2525923

Long Story Short, I contracted 45 btc for half an Avalon.  Initial payment being 10 btc.  After 1 week of delays, I requested a refund as I have received nothing.  Now approaching a week since he agreed to my refund, simply silence.

As the last poster mentioned, Always use escrow  Wink Funny how I have used it for essentially every trade and the only one you dont, it bites you in the behind.  I'm just going to take this as a lesson learned...really no one to blame but your own idiocy in situations like this.

I had actually felt that he appeared reputable by the following facts:

400+ posts, although I should have payed attention to when it was registered
Having provided a passport, facebook login that matched. 
Presented a picture of avalons with my username and his, inclusive of dates
Prior deals:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=198678.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=198678.msg2095098#msg2095098

Lastly, he apparently had met and had drinks with a Moderator in Israel.

Either way, just use escrow and save the hassle.  Always  Grin 

Oh, that seriously happened? Damn, well his rep can go to the shitcan. That's terrible  Undecided

There are a lot of members who have been victums of scammers that PM me about adding sites to bitcoinscammers.com I'm adding bitbet but I'd like more information on the scam because it looks p2p without owner interference.

Bitbet.us is about as legit as parimutuel betting sites get. While some things the proprietor says on their blog are controversial, Mircea is probably one of the most informed actors in BTC finance.

I could see S.DICE (the security) going on the warning list though after Erik pulled the stunt earlier this month (later rescinded) where he would withhold dividends to pay back the betting pool which had mysteriously turned into a "personal loan" from him to S.Dice. That and the other lax record keeping that may mysteriously arise to bite investors would seem the S.Dice security is at high risk of operator (i.e. Erik) dysfunction. Then there is their mysterious "new improved site" that never appears and questionable payroll expenses.

Mircea is a proven liar and an elitist idiot, just read his blog, quite fascinating to feel inside of the mind of a douchebag for 5 minutes and Erik well, he's Erik, you can tell about him by the people he is associated with.

I think MPOE-PR is Mircea himself, but that's just all my opinion, no solid proof (aside from the fact that Mircea is a liar).

In addition to the controversial/offensive content he has a lot of useful gems like this piece on hedging as a miner. If anything I think the offensive stuff serves as a filter to weed out readers who aren't serious enough about business to consider the useful information he provides.

I'm also rather certain MPOE-PR is a distinct human being who works for Mircea. He seems busy enough with all the time he spends on IRC, with his other ventures, and with the girls that I think being his own forum PR would require him to possess some sort of time machine. Some sort of device like the one in that confusing film Primer might work.

I agree. There might be some offensive content, but at the end of the day there is a ton of very useful articles, like the one linked above.

99% Fraud as viewed through the eyes of the majority. Stop defending these son's of bitches and their half ass way of doing business and the other half ass way of scamming people. I'm gathering info and going to wreck them on bitcoinscammers.com

I actually agree with you for once.

The thing is, if BFL becomes tagged, there isn't a problem of lower ad revenue, maybe they'll even get more donations.

It's a problem of a chain reaction, BFL might just vanish, and with millions of dollars. And if they do have the resources to make the ASICs or even have them at the moment, we could be looking at a serious attack (maybe not a 51% on Bitcoin, but they could give a pool the power to 51%).

Hell, if they're millionaires, they don't care about Bitcoin anymore. They can a) destroy it or b) take all the Bitcoins, both of which won't be good.

If that's the case, then BFL is blackmailing the entire Bitcoin community.

This calls for drastic action. Have tire iron, will travel. The plan is to stick in the gears of the windmill outside their facility. That'll slow 'em down.

* DiamondCardz nods his head.

Genius plan.

I'm kinda glad I held off of investing in Pyramining, I dislike it a lot. Once ASIC's start to properly hit the market, we'll see if Pyramining really starts to pick up the pace.

Although the lack of communication isn't exactly good...

lol rauolbtc stop hatin cause your the scammer dude
coinvisitor is the best thing to happen to BTC and brought alot of newbies the education they needed to not get themselves ripped off by people like you for there first bits of "dust" that we all start off with

go back to your little corner of the planet where sex is disgusting and have fun fapping to the sun since apparantly you don't like women

That's a little harsh, can't you be civil?

OTT: Coinvisitor is a good site, i'm sure this issue will be fixed.

the last thing i would do to sell my bitcoins is to use paypal. too many scammers plus funds are easily reversible.

It depends what you do - for instance, if you ship a piece of cloth or even a paper wallet in the mail and provide a tracking number, it's much harder to charge-back, and they can't just claim that they were hacked if you have a name + shipping address.

So many incorrect numbers, huh? I guess it's good that it hasn't been guessed early like before, though  Tongue

I might be able to sell you 2 keys in a bit, will be PM'ing you shortly. I'm going to assume that you're buying them for ~ BTC .013 each, which is ~ BTC .026 total.
Yes that is correct. PM me if you are interested.

Yep, once I sell my festive sniper and some weps/metal i'll have three keys in total (I'll just assume that'll fetch BTC .04). I may finish today or tomorrow, but i'll contact you then.

Edit - what's up with the referral link? Or more to the point, it's being censored.

You need at least 10 (? not sure) posts before you can use links in your signature.
10 for signature, 30 for links, I believe.

He can't manipulate the PM's stored in his account. Even if he deletes them i still have my outgoing and incoming PM's of this specific trade.
I don't understand why the mods/admins don't take 1 minute the time to check the PM's. Or perhaps create a new "role" for a trusted person to do these kind of checks when a trade was done through PM. It saves alot of time, discussions and anger from people who keep seeing how scammers get away.

PS: I won't bother with screenshots, pointless, need a well respected community member to check the PMs and post here OR mods/admins. Not going to play with screenshots, don't have time for that bullshit. I got the facts as PMs in my account, takes a MINUTE to check or less.

So i call hereby either a TRUSTED community member to check my account for which i will supply the password OR mods/admins.


You don't understand, the database doesn't take "a minute" to check. Stop being lazy, and post the screenshots if you want help from the community.
3699  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbie mistake on: June 24, 2013, 05:41:08 PM
Post or PM the address you used.  We keep asking you to do that.  Why won't you post the exact address you used so we can help you?

It should start with the number one and then be a string of random looking letters and numbers.


I think he's saying that he made a contact and then put that in his payment info, so it sent to an address such as "MiningPayment" (which is strange, as i'm pretty sure most Bitcoin clients reject payments to non-valid addresses, although his mining pool might have just kept the coins after the payment was never sent but registered as sent in it's database.).
