This is obviously a sockpuppet just for trolling.  The user created the account, shat out this worthless post, added an off topic poll, literally logged out immediately, and hasn't logged in since.

I'm guessing it's someone who's butthurt about getting rejected for a loan, and/or taunted for what they offered as "collateral."

I have the funds in my PayPal account, or I can send Zelle from my bank account, your choice.  
If it's PayPal I can send F&F, but you pay any fees that may be charged.
Rate is 1:1 at Preev price.
If you are a highly trusted user, I'll send first.
If you are a newbie, or don't have any trade history I'll expect you to send first, and I'll wait for a couple of confirmations before I send.
If you want to deal, post here then send me a PM.

You have a $250 coupon for a $179 miner?

I've been using DireWolf for a long time, but I took a break from it when a friend of mine coined another for me.  Since DireWolf is often taken, I added the "M14" to make it unique.

DireWolf comes from one of my favorite songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1-ieYykDzY
The M14 is my favorite rifle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M14_rifle

Locate your wallet files (usually they are in /<user>/appdata/roaming/electrum/wallets/) and back them up on a clean thumb drive.
Go to https://electrum.org/#download and download the latest version for your OS, and corresponding signature file.
Follow these instructions to verify the download: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/
Uninstall your old version of electrum.
Install the new version of electrum.
Restore your wallet files to the directory where you found them.

If you are concerned that your current wallet might have been compromised, you should create a new seed, and move all your funds to the new wallet.

If you're suspicious that your system has been compromised, I recommend you reinstall your OS on a freshly partitioned hard drive.  Relying on anti-virus and anti-malware programs is a risk, in my opinion.  A risk I would not be willing to accept. 

Please help us understand your situation.  
Did you want to send the funds to the address you posted, or was it another address?  From where did you copy the address you wanted to use?  Is it a hardware or a desktop wallet?

d for me, DireWolfM14

Thanks again!

Pass the dutchie to the left hand side.

I prefer Electrum, and use it for almost everything.

Cold Storage:
I used an air-gapped pc to create a seed.  The advantage is you have many addresses to which you can send your coins, which helps preserve your privacy.  You can send any amount you want to each address, and if you need to spend them you can choose which coins (unspent Tx) or address from which you want to spend.  You can easily keep an eye on the whole wallet by using the master public key to create a watch only wallet.

Hardware:
I find Electrum much more useful than the native UI offered by Trezor, Ledger, and KeepKey (the only HW wallets I own.)  I have more control over my unspent transactions, addresses, and fees.  Again, I can use the master public key to create watch only wallets.  Electrum can be used to manage every aspect of a hardware wallet with the exception of firmware updates.

Hot wallet:
It's nice to have a hot wallet that you can access from your desktop quickly and easily.  I use the same wallet on my phone, and only keep a couple of hundred dollars worth of bitcoin in it.

Watch only wallets:
One of my favorite features of Electrum.  You can create watch only versions of any wallet you own.  I find it very convenient for my hardware and cold wallets.  I can extract public addresses for receiving bitcoin without having to start up my air-gapped PC (and restore my cold seed,) or go through the steps required to access my hardware wallets.  I can easily confirm incoming transactions, and check my balances.

Sure there are other desktop wallets with many of these features, but I haven't found one that I like and trust as much as Electrum.

Don't send your seeds to anyone, odds are you will get ripped off.  Don't deal with anyone who sends you a PM about this, odds are they are looking to rip you off.

Was the seed originally created using Electrum?
Do the addresses in the watch only wallet start with a 1, 3, or bc1?  
What about the addresses in the restored wallet, how do they start?

Also, be very careful where you obtain the Electrum software, only download it from electrum.org, and verify the download using the provided PGP signature.

Yes, even McDonald's has burger-flipper standards, and bat-shit-crazy is an automatic disqualifier.

You're on DT2 by way of being trusted by many DT1 members.  All it takes is one, and I've got you on my inclusion list.


Is there an acceptable price? 

The value of merit can only be gauged by "sweat equity" in my opinion.  I believe I've seen other threads offering merits for sale, but I don't recall a situation where it was proven any were actually sold and delivered.

This flag is against user MichalOlszewski, who's phishing for a scam.

Flag: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=953

This user is phishing for a scam.  He's a liar, and it's highly unlikely he has any property to use for collateral.

How do I know he's a liar?  Easy.  He sent me this PM a few days ago.  Note the time stamp:


In this PM he claims we've had a discussion "two days ago" about some non-existent "greed laboratories" and a 15 btc loan.   Yet, he had only registered 46 minutes before sending this PM.

[Pacific time zone (UTC -8) displayed.]

I've never had any interaction with this fool before receiving that PM, never heard of this fake business, and I've never been approached about a 15 btc loan.  All lies.

I'm quoting this for reference:


So, which is it?  Is he a 25 year-old doctor, or the CEO of "greed laboratories?"

You shouldn't have bumped that thread.  That post you made a couple of days ago made it sound like you were trying to get those accounts back, presumably to continue with the plan you outlined in the opening post.  Trading in accounts highly frowned upon these days, so you would have been better off letting that thread remain dead.

Anyway, I reported your post because it was off topic, and necro-posting.

The Canadian crypto currency exchange Einstein has shut down recently, and apparently ran off with $12.1 million of it's customer's money.  On October 31st the exchange's lawyer contacted the British Columbia Securities Commission to inform them the exchange would be shutting down in 30 to 60 days.  On November 1st the BCSC asked the exchange's law firm for information pertaining to where and how their customer's crypto was being held.  Two hours later the law firm informed the BCSC that they no longer represent the exchange.  The BCSC hasn't been able to contact any representative of the exchange.

Partial payment confirmed.  Thank you.

The "Best" wallet is subjective.

If you want a multi-currency mobile wallet, there really isn't one.  The closest you can get is Ledger Live coupled with a Ledger hardware wallet.

Just to note: Electrum Mobile does allow you to control fees.  You can set the method to static, and set the fee as low as 1sat/bite.

What wallet are you using?  If it's an HD desktop wallet the remaining bitcoin could have moved to a change address.  As for the two payment transactions, they may have gone through eventually.  If that's the case you should get credit for one, and a refund for the other.

Can you share the name of the site to whom you sent the payments?
