The Manchester City Council Tradings Standards Office is now looking into this. Any victims please contact P.Minshaw@manchester.gov.uk referencing complaint # 047774

Would you be willing to share your work with me so I can see what you've done on the CPC front? They have been on my mind since I first saw the bogus website. So far all I have done was attempt to contact them, pretending to be legitimately interested in purchasing from them. But they have not responded. I'd like to work together with you and do what we can to get them shut down before they victimize anyone else and are rewarded for their disgusting scam.

As formerly described I have contacted the Trading Standards Office with the evidence collected by BTCTalk in the three seperate CPC threads thus far. The TSO has confirmed that there is no company CPC Electronics registered in Manchester and that no company like that exists at the adress they supposedly exist at. At this point TSO would appreciate a victim to step forward (by monitoring the wallet adress we know there is at least one) to supply them with more information.

I am. Tried it once without light. Didn't work out all that well.

You would have been less suspicious had you not donated to the forum.

It's amazing, isn't it? The donator's list reads like a Who's Who of scammers.

Integrated quantum computer system with 128 qubit chipset AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER NOW. Deliveries slated to begin early January. No concerns of Chinese New Year.

Sorry everyone. The jig, it is up.
Quantum computers are one of those technologies like fusion power that is perpetually "only 10 or 20 years away". I would bet every BTC I have that this is a scam to cash in on the hype surrounding quantum computers as opposed to whatever is inside their "shielded black box" is capable of doing. A good tell is that they're searching for "investors" (rubes) rather than publishing in physics journals.

Uhuh.... "Nature" not good enough now?

This was done using your supposed "scam" machine.

Take your business else where.

I, for one, would prefer that illegal activity not take place on the bitcointalk.org forums.

Thank you.

what is he selling?

Hacked user accounts to diverse forums etc.

You people are wasting the usagis valuable time embroiling it in scammer tag debates all day every day. The usagis time would be much better spent in winding down it's various so-called "companies" so that it can finally get banned afterwards.

It's possible that's what the plan is. But then why not give me a scammer tag now then, just to shut people up?

Tell you what, greyhawk. Since you think I am a scammer, can you put a number on the bitcoins you feel I scammed? Just saying maybe if you could put a number on it we could discuss who I had to pay off to end the massive crap which is being spewed at me. I'm considering something like 100 bitcoins paid to BMF investors, 100 to CPA, and 100 to NYAN.A/etc. it would take me a while to buy that many bitcoins, and maybe sell some of my personal possessions, but at this point that is more valuable to me than allowing you to lob accusations at me with no chance to defend myself or make repairs. Think about it.

I don't think you're a scammer. I have absolutely no opinion on that, because to form such an opinion I would need to read all through your drivel and that's something for people more masochistic than me.

What I do think is you're a pretentious dramaboat that dunning-krügered itself way too deep into uncharted waters and thats only value lies in occassionally bopping its bow back up to the surface brandishing a huge sign saying "Book your delicious adventure cruise now. We're totally not sinking.", then gets knocked down below again by the angry sea while releasing a swath of meltdown-induced bubbles. So that's kinda entertaining in a way.

Any chance you will stock Oxiracetam?

They had that (see here: http://www.harvestmoonhealthfoods.com/unnuox800mg6.html ) but discontinued it for some reason.

He is an excellent writter and works for Microsoft.
I really think he would do great, maybe with a team helping him out.
The thing is, we really need such a book Wink

You could write it.

I would pay good money for that.

You missed sooooo much. We had this huge thing where everyone ... yeah... nothing much happened besides usagi melting down twenty or thirty times.

EDIT: And Roger Ver destroying all trust anyone had in him over 50 bucks. But that might have been before you left.
3815  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will China ever ban email? on: January 02, 2013, 03:00:16 PM
It would make more sense to run a email based bitcoin client proxy. Basically you could do Electrum via email protocol instead of Stratum protocol.

For minimal work this could be written as a layer on top of an Electrum Server, maybe with some obfuscation in the email to make filtering less easy.

Electrum already supports proxies so you could make a email proxy that would take the json calls and wrap them as email. Or something more generic could be written as a email client plugin that provides a wallet interface but communicates via email. I don't think that would even be very difficult - more a case of wanting to do it.

Interesting idea, harkens back to the early 90s, a golden era in terms of attempting to shoehorn all manner of protocols into email/smtp interfaces due to unreliable connectivity and lack of bandwidth.  At one point both Lotus and Microsoft had products doing fullblown database synchronization & replication over email transports, so it's not beyond imagination to conceive of Bitcoin clients even heavier than Electrum someday piggybacking on SMTP to get around nasty censorship conditions.


I've still got Notes DBs running on that tech. Works without fail.

2. I produce and sell goods that are only available for bitcoins.

And what would that be?

I know I totally trust anything that's advertised by vandalizing my environment with stickers.

Quite a few arthouse movies are advertised in this way with stencils etc and it works pretty well. It has more of an influence on me than what I see on TV anyway  Tongue

What's TV?  Huh

 Cheesy

I just don't like it when everywhere you look is plastered with stickers, some partly ripped off, some soaked by rain, some glued smack dab in the middle of pertinant information like the bus schedule.

With the ad stencils they at least ask owners for permission and remove them afterwards. That's quite alright.
