Is it something in the air?  There have been four "newbies" spamming the lending board just in the last 10 hours.

I'm not a Beatles fan, but their words ring true today:

Looks like that loan was paid off, but the lender never removed the neutral tag:

Anyway, EastSound isn't particularly active, too risky for my liking.  Good luck.

Hi Yatsan,
Thanks for the loan request, but I'm afraid I'll have to decline.  Good luck.

It's really quite amazing how reasonable you can sound at times.  I wish you would make points this valid in every post you make, and not bury them in walls of rubbish and petty attacks.

I don't think anyone is claiming that Nutildah wasn't wrong when he attempted to sell his account.  But put it all into context.  Around 2016 was right around the time when the forum community started seeing account selling as a negative thing for the health of forum and the bitcoin community.  Nutildah said flat out in this original post that he had not been spending so much time on the forum, so it's reasonable to conclude that he may not have known about the change in attitude.  That naivete is mostly confirmed by the fact that he posted right from his account which he attempted to sell.  The first reply to his offer suggesting that he should have created a sock puppet didn't even occur to him, probably because he had no ill intent.  Once informed about his potential for getting the account tagged red, he was wise enough to put two and two together.

I'm speaking in generalities because I don't know exactly what went on in Nutildah's head, but I can put myself in his situation.  It's seems fairly clear to me that Nutildah isn't proud of having made that mistake, as naive as it may have been.  He's probably embarrassed about it.  In fact, the reason he edit the post in August is probably due to his embarrassment.  Again, generalities because I don't know for sure.  He hasn't commented so I can't be certain.

And like Mikey said, one needs to consider the behavior of the individual since the mistake was made.  Can you just try to see it from his perspective?  Can you bring yourself to forgive him?  If you can at least try maybe your forum life will be filled with less turmoil and drama going forward.

Yes.  Your passphrase essentially becomes an extension of your seed phrase.  Anyone who has your seed phrase would find an empty wallet, unless they also know your passphrase.  Six random words is a pretty safe bet.  I'm not sure about Ledger, but Trezor can accommodate 35 characters for a passphrase.  That might be the standard for Bip39, so I imagine it's the same with any hardware wallet that supports Bip39 passphrases. 

I feel like I'm clapping with one hand.  

Pad your post count "arguing" with someone else.

Doh, not dough.

I had a dream about fucking fatty last night.  I woke up covered in flour.

Oh dear lord, I missed that as well.  NO, just NO! 

These are not that common here in the US, and I just assumed he meant a cafe with public wifi.

It seems like this attack has been going on for months now.  If it is a stubborn crook they sure are using a ton of resources, it seems like at some point they're going to reach the point of diminishing returns.  With those kinds of resources one would think there are legitimate ways they could put their resources to use and earn a fair income.

So, which is it?  Is ChipMixer an NSA honeypot, or is the NSA behind the DDOS attack, trying to force ChipMixer to use their CloudFlare honeypot? 

Welcome the fold of lenders, best of luck in your new venture.  I'll add you the list if you're inclined.

I'm curious about this:


I'm concerned that it could make things difficult for you to prove if you've been scammed or not.  It's also advised that the borrower include their funding address in the signed request.  Unless you only expect signed requests be sent through private messages which you can then later post out in the open.  There are other scenarios that I won't go into that could cause you trouble if you don't remain open and transparent.

If you're concerned about your privacy, you can set aside an amount of coin with which you're comfortable, send it through a mixer or an exchange, and then into a wallet designated solely for this purpose.  Just a suggestion, made only for the hope to help you stay safe.

Again, best of luck.

What?  I don't understand your argument, or if it is an argument.  I made a rebuttal to your claim that there's no way for a phone to attempt to connect itself to the internet.  What makes you think I'm saying it's legal to be a thief?  And since when do thieves give a fuck about the legality of their actions?

I'm simply saying that the phones don't make safe and secure storage for cryptocurrency, even if you think they can't connect themselves to internet.  I wouldn't think to use one as a substitute for a hardware wallet.  I sited my reasoning.

Not 100% accurate.  I had an S5 Active that I used only as a GPS for while.  I would put in in airplane mode to save battery power when I took it into the woods.  It wouldn't stay in airplane mode if I restarted it.  Phones are complex devices, than can develop buggy behavior.

A secure VPN client could keep you protected.  I never use public wifi without VPN.  If you are accessing your hot wallet, the phone is a better option (as long as you're only connected to you're carrier's internet, not wifi.)  Using a hardware wallet will keep all your private keys safe regardless of whether the network or your computer is infected.

The idea is intriguing, but why assume all the risk with such little reward?  Almost any functional smart phone with an intact screen can fetch a minimum of $50 on ebay, or when used as a trade-in for a discount on your new phone.  For the same price, or even less you can have a very secure hardware wallet. 

The Trezor One is $49, the Nano S is about $40, and you can often buy a KeepKey for $25.  With prices like that for safe, secure hardware wallets it seems silly to trust a device that could stop functioning at any moment, is thief magnet, could connect it's self to internet...

Is it just me that has abandoned his principals?  Or is just my principals that concern you so much?  Or is it that my principals are of such concern to you because mine was the deciding vote that cast you out of DT1 most recently?  What is it about me that is bothering you so much lately?  Really Tecshare, can't I make a lighthearted joke about about the way some one continues to beat a horse's fossil?

Would you prefer if I chastise Nutildah for trying to sell his account?  Again?  Okay; Hey Nutildah, you shouldn't have tried to sell your account.  Oh, what's that you say?  You learned that lesson nearly two years before I joined this forum?  Okay, then.  Carry on.

And you are wrong about my character yet again.  I'm a very forgiving person.  If you had made a similar mistake years ago, and quickly adjusted your position, not only would you have my forgiveness, you'd also have my support if others attacked you for it.  

However, considering the way you build your trust list you still wouldn't be included in mine.  There're connections, and also disconnections.

Anyway, we can take this discussion to another thread, or PM if you'd rather.  I feel like this is going off-topic.

When Nutidah farts, cryptohunter be like

Even more odd; I think he was "assuring" that the newbie would pay back.



I think mdayonliner exhausted that excuse.

You seem to have taken a keen interest in DadyD's loans and his ability to get one, to the point where you are willing to take risks despite many red flags.  It really is quite odd, so I'm going to post all of the events that strike me as odd right here in this one post.

In this topic the newbie makes an unconventional loan request, claiming a trusted member (alexrossi) is guaranteeing the loan will be repaid, or is providing escrow.  It's worth noting that alexrossi never publicly confirmed this assertion.

None the less you posted this:


Still nothing from alexrossi, and no mention if alexrossi has confirmed his guarantee, yet three hours later you post this:  


Also, it's worth noting that the address to which you requested repayment hasn't seen any activity since September 23rd.  I know, I know; Yolodice...  But no public mention of any other arrangements being made.  Odd.

19 hours after paying you back the newbie asks Shasan for loan, which he rejects.  You seem to be quite concerned that Shasan has rejected the loan, and proceed to protest on the newbie's behalf.  Odd.


When I asked why so much concern, you seem to get defensive.  Odd.


Shasan mentioned his suspicion, and you got more defensive and offered to guarantee the loan for this random newbie.  Odd.

Your continuing to divert attention, and pretend that none of this happened, and deny you were coaching the newbie on how to get a loan without bringing attention to the fact he was just trying to farm trust is typical or everything I've come to expect from you: lies and deceit.

I'm telling you this once and only once:  If I remove my neutral rating it will be to add another negative.  

You just got your answer, so feel free to remove my misspelled name from your signature at your convenience.
