yes, I second your opinion. He admits the use of bot but not for automating free roll claim.
It looks like he is getting good amount of referral bonus because his referrals use his bot on multiply btc games

I've only had time to take a quick look at his web page and it looks like it does both, claim free-rolls and a betting script. Although unlike other abusive bots he's not using a captcha solve service but telling them to deposit 0.01 BTC to turn captcha off (it's actually $100). The bottom line is any automated betting system can win until it doesn't. The people downloading this will end up losing everything while he pockets the referral commision. I'm surprised nobody asked him for a screenshot of his personal stats page so we can see how much he has lost on Hi-Lo and how much he has made from his referrals.

I don't need to prove myself to suchmoon, here is a change of circumstances, I want to have a reputation and a business, are you willing to compensate me for few months of waiting? now I'm tagged as a scammer, I'm not a scammer so there is no need for me to be called a scammer by default.

You have proved yourself untrustworthy and deserving of that tag. Making a few edits to your post doesn't reverse that. Someone with judgment so poor as to offer the service on the terms you did is someone to avoid doing business with. I don't think you will ever convince anyone here to trust you. I merely suggested it would be wise to at least spend a few months rebuilding your trashed reputation before even thinking about asking anyone to reconsider.
3703  Other / Archival / Re: Abuse of power by suchmoon, who is responsible for him to be on DT? on: May 17, 2018, 05:43:30 PM
Anyways, I have fixed my mistakes now and I expect suchmoon to reconsider about his tags on me.

So you admit that you were in the wrong and suchmoon's tag was justified?

I agree that I should have used escrow. if I trust myself it doesn't mean that everybody else should trust me.

OK, that's the first step. It wasn't just escrow, you offered a service you couldn't perform and said no refunds.

Now take this in, The Pharmacist said it better than I would.

Digaran, all of this screaming about your feedback and raging against DT members isn't going to help your case.  I say that as someone who doesn't have a personal beef with you, so it's somewhat objective.  Your time would be better spent not doing this and perhaps calming down a bit and doing things to help the forum would be a better approach.

Try acting like a trustworthy member of the forum and prove yourself over a period of a few months and then maybe it would be in order to ask suchmoon to reconsider.

Is there a way to know how many periods my account has been active in/how much "potential activity" I have?

Yes, check the spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12saLhlUoqIdairxzuSPu6EYGrt7FN2lOstO1yDjCEbA to find out the date and time of the activity periods and then check your post history to see how many of them you posted in. Multiply the number of periods by 14 and that is your potential activity.
3706  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: DragonMint T1 16TH/S halongmining.com on: May 17, 2018, 05:04:44 PM
ok so my argumentation is correct?

A tiny bit of it is. It works on 4 pools, not 2. The reason it doesn't work on the others is that they are boycotting it not through any fault of Halong.

As well as Bitcoin it can also mine altcoins (NMC is merge mined at Bitminter right now for example). Again you need to direct the question at the altcoin pools as to why they are not supporting it. It's just a few simple lines of code for them to add.

As to other pools being more profitable, that's pretty hard to believe when ckpool is 0% fee.
3707  Other / Meta / Re: Was Satoshi from USA? (during 2009-2010) on: May 17, 2018, 04:37:52 PM
When he wrote posts here his English was impeccable.  That doesn't rule out being Japanese, but I doubt he would be a native of Japan. 

I just don't know and I've stopped wondering.  Bitcoin has become bigger than the founder, and his disappearance was smart on his part--if it's a he and I don't know that it is.

I remember reading that his earliest work was written in US English and then he switched to British English and stayed with that. All that really tells us is that he was very good at disguising his identity. Obviously choosing the times at which he posted to misdirect us about his location would be even easier.
3708  Other / Archival / Re: Hire me to defend your case for 0.01BTC! on: May 17, 2018, 04:21:56 PM
That is abuse, I have my own terms in the OP, read them to understand.

You are the one that needs to understand that your terms are the cause of the problem.

he tagged me for the second time after I pointed out his mistake.

He didn't make a mistake, he just needed to further explain his reason because you were to thick to understand the first time.

for me to be a scammer I must have attempted to scam somebody, my service is not to scam people.

Your terms would lead someone to pay for a service you cannot deliver with no possibility of a refund. That could be seen as attempting to scam people by anyone with a straight train of thought.

but you are obviously in suchmoon pocket for supporting him.

I have never had any dealings with suchmoon and have nothing to gain here. I'm just pointing out what is blindingly obvious.
3709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Someone won freebitco.in lottery already? on: May 17, 2018, 03:33:12 PM
I am also thinking, that it is almost impossible to win in freebitco.in lottery something larger. The reason can be - hundreds of players try to win each minute, so it is not possible. Freebitco.in is very popular among players from all over world.  Cheesy
i do agree, but the one who surprised me is the freebitco.in currently still on active status even though they already passed so many years.
I thought at first this site will die later on just like the other faucet, but it's actually not

Of course, it is difficult to win a lottery. Last week the 1st prize was over 1.3 BTC and tickets are only 1 sat each so it is obviously a small chance just like any other lottery.

We didn't die because we evolved into much more than a faucet.
3710  Other / Archival / Re: Hire me to defend your case for 0.01BTC! on: May 17, 2018, 01:18:35 PM
Suchmoon tagged me after I bumped my application, be blind and refuse to accept that he is abusing his position.

Suchmoon has been very clear why he has tagged you.

Quote
You are:

- Offering a questionable service in a self-moderated thread
- Claiming abilities that you don't possess
- Lacking any trade history
- Providing one vouch/reference - yourself
- Requesting upfront payment without escrow
- Admitting that you will abscond with the money if you don't succeed

As a result of that tag, people see "Warning: Trade with extreme caution!" under your name. That would seem a perfectly reasonable trust feedback. It is there to warn people that they stand a very high probability of losing their money if they take up your service. That is not an abuse.

3711  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: May 17, 2018, 12:59:52 PM
there are sites that can increase the Deposit is not 4% per annum, and 1000 times more. Sites that trade and increase your Deposit.

Confused by the difference in a passive fixed income investment and trading?

Is there a way to send funds to other freebitco account?

If it is your referral you can share the referral income back. Otherwise, you can withdraw to a Bitcoin address they give you.

If we allowed internal transfers it would be abused by people using multiple accounts to get to the withdrawal limit from the faucet.
3713  Other / Meta / Re: Why are so many accounts being reported as hacked? on: May 17, 2018, 07:51:03 AM
Good day Quin Wink

For A. I don't think brute force will work well here, In our login form we have a captcha and that will prevent brute force + we have a limit on incorrect passwords.

They can buy the database that has an MD5 hash of the password and brute force it offline.

For B. The phishing site has a captcha error so I think it wouldn't work anymore(hopefully).

That's good news but there will be many more phishing sites to replace it.

Plus an experienced member here has a "hairstrand" of a chance get phished by that site because a lot of members here is aware of that phishing site but we should still spread the word.

It's the far greater number of inexperienced members that are getting hacked.
3714  Other / Meta / Re: Stake your Bitcoin address here on: May 17, 2018, 07:47:24 AM
In theory, the signed ETH address is as good as the BTC address.
In practice, the administrator is much easier and quicker to deal with just one type of signed address.

Make as required, to safely avoid the situation that you cannot restore account.

Exactly. If the instructions say only a Bitcoin signed message or PGP then use one of those or reduce the chances of getting your account back.

What is a custodial service?

A custodial service is when an entity or individual holds a client’s property or money on their behalf.  The custodian is responsible for the safety of the financial products. If you are a custodial client, you are still the beneficial owner of the financial products but are held on your behalf by the custodian.


And
I think Bitcoin should be Custodial Services needed...

At ASB Securities, the registered owner of the financial products can be ASB Nominees Limited, ASB Securities or the nominated offshore custodian who holds them in custody on your behalf. You are always listed as the beneficial owner.

Two big reasons I know of:

a) The forum was hacked back in 2015 and the encrypted database is available on the darknet. Accounts with weak passwords are vulnerable to being brute forced.

b) The .to and other phishing sites masquerading as mirror sites. They often show up on a Google search ahead of the real site.

I doubt merit system is working.
Almost everyone has a "round" number of merit which they got because of their rank when merit was implemented

Apart from the 15196 accounts that don't. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3078328.msg36967936#msg36967936

The fact that the vast majority that hasn't made a contribution worthy of earning a single Merit in nearly 4 months are unable to rank up is a sign of success.
3718  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: May 17, 2018, 05:58:59 AM
Ah, I was already wondering if it was me or just a bug before I read your message. Thanks for the heads up!

And it's back.



they, with a few referrals, might not bother to do that as they never suspect will win lottery later
even an account with only 1-2 referrals (that play a lot multiply btc) has a chance to win lottery
I suspect they are the case because the first 3 winners of this week are winning with less than 5k tickets

If your referrals are doing 5k free-rolls a week that's 60k sats minimum referral income. We have no idea how many accounts are abandoned with referrals and auto-withdraw turned off but I would guess not that many. Abandoned accounts are far more likely to have no referrals and just never got to the minimum withdrawal. People also come back to accounts when BTC price increases, it is in the news again and they remember those satoshi they left sitting there.
3719  Other / Meta / Re: Stake your Bitcoin address here on: May 17, 2018, 05:40:07 AM
Who cares?
That's a little pedantic.

The purpose is to recover hacked accounts. In the Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwords the instructions state.

Quote
Typically, the only acceptable method of proving ownership is by signing a message (including current date and desired new email address) using a Bitcoin address or PGP key associated with the account. A Bitcoin address or PGP key is associated with the account only if the account posted the key/address, sent it in a PM, or if it is still listed in the account's profile.

I very rarely recover accounts if you can't prove ownership as described above. There are alternative ways of proving ownership, but they take too much time.

I think if someone signs with an altcoin then telling that this will not help them and to use Bitcoin instead is better than leaving them under the false impression that they have secured their account.

There seems to be a technical issue which means the display on the EARN BTC page isn't showing the last 10 days interest payments. I have informed wetsuit and I'll update you when I hear back.



There is a major issue in the section of the datacentre where the bet history and interest history archival server is located. Hopefully, it should be fixed in 6-12 hours but until then that information will not be visible.

Resolved.
