I put in the same bet (Jets to win ML @ 1.97). The odds have moved a bit in the last few hours from -2 Denver to now almost even. Maybe that means too much money was coming in on the Denver side of the bet. Not a whole lot to do today so I might as well give it a watch. This will be the first time I've rooted for the Jets in... possibly ever.

Wow, great going, that's a lot of posts! Out of curiosity, when you report the posts, what comment do you give in your report? Do you write "Spam" or... what do you write? My top labels for reports of bumpers are:

low value post
spam
off-topic

sometimes if a post is particularly bad I'll write:

zero value post

"Low value post" seems to be my go-to.

This farm is back, now spamming for a project called UCACOIN. I'm gonna go ahead and tag all of them. One tag wasn't enough to stop them but maybe 2 will be, who knows.

Here's a few recent additions to this particular farm, some of which have also commented in the IndexChain thread:

IgorDV
Scrachit
kossvet
yurikkk
Bad Lightyear
Timothy Martinez
Sheesh
Virgil YNWA
Sarah Snyder
Zillakami
conceptinion
Fevy

Like the other merited accounts in this farm, most merit for this farm was obtained from Basorexia.

Certainly you do both! Its not considered insider trading if its not a registered security.



Well, the reward collecting is going to be a public ceremony I would imagine -- news of your newly-discovered Monero vulnerability will break before you have the chance to plunge your reward money into a highly-leveraged short. So you'll have to borrow funds, which wouldn't be as easy. But you can still use your reward money to capitalize on the fallout -- it would likely take a long time for the price of XMR to completely unwind.

It would honestly be more practical to build something that monitors all Lightning Network transactions to trace where funds are going. But I have some drinking to do, so you guys have at it.

I looked at an old version of their Terms of Service page and found that they've said they may request KYC from customers since at least March 2020:


It looks like they made the change around that time. Even though they should, I don't think they will release the funds to you without ID at this point; it might have been a different story in April or May.

This is not a plea to buy bitcoin at 1% its current price, but a perplexing tale of intrigue. What happened in the mystery of the Lost Coins? And why settle for 2013 prices -- might as well go back to 2010, or even 2009 because why not, its a fantasy. I'm glad you're open minded enough to consider complete strangers to be "friends," so sure, we can be friends why not.

You need to:

- be a social media influencer
- call him a fraud repeatedly
- not live in the U.S. or other country with lax libel laws

Going by the precedents set by the other cases, I'd just have to assume McCormack is in the clear at this point, after several other courts have roundly decided that Wright enjoys no notable reputation that could be tarnished.

Its good to hold out for some standards and wanting to maintain freedom of speech; I think transparency goes a long way for any project, so does being able to accept criticism in order to better your product. Maybe try to get the thread for your project happening here and encourage people to migrate there from Telegram.

Frequently this is the case but sometimes you do know who is running the bumping service. Let me introduce you to Vitor Services. Whats interesting about them is some of their testimonials were written by team members of projects which had hired them here on the forum, so it was easy to trace them to that particular bumping service.

Furthermore, sometimes batches of accounts will overlap from thread to thread; meaning that it is possible to connect which threads have hired the service based on the accounts posting in them. Here is the best way to demonstrate a spam farm, by demonstrating the overlap between threads and the cluster of accounts:

I just know that sometimes threads are deleted if pretty much every single comment in them is mindless spam and there isn't any organic activity going on within it. With the Coinsbit spammers, at least they post information about the exchange, like updates and such. Threads just full of comments like "when moon sir" are more ripe for deletion by mods.

I checked it out and its his legit account -- been a German speaker the whole time, even when they were part of the ChipMixer campaign. Unfortunately I don't have anything else to add to this conversation, LOL. Sounds like it could potentially be an interesting project, or not, don't quote me.

I know that the mods won't remove topics based on user requests, but they might remove one if there are enough bad reports made in the thread. I'll take a look at it in a bit and examine the connections, see if I can report some posts, but this is a good find.

I'm gonna take this in a different direction and recommend the only long or short term DeFi project I have confidence in, and that's Bitcoin (BTC). As far as decentralizing one's own finances is concerned, the Bitcoin Network is by far the most decentralized in terms of global node count. In general, there's no safer option when it comes to taking control of your own finances, and while the real-world infrastructure simply isn't in place for most DeFi projects, it is in place for Bitcoin (more than any other coin, that is).

Pros:

• Largest user & merchant base in the world
• Secured by more computing power than all other coins combined
• Greatest amount of volume, stability

Cons:

• Nothing to farm
• No 1000% in 1 week gains
• Not tradeable on UniSwap

Bitcoin, for all your DeFi needs.* "We're already here."


*do you actually have any "DeFi needs," or are you just looking for some of those super sweet gainz?

Not very surprising but their website and twitter are down already... The token price has been in a freefall (from $3.67 on Sept. 23rd to its current price of $0.0157). Just reading through some of the rekt traders comments on twitter about this, and people who called it for what it was early on:

Some great games this weekend.

Going to make a pick for tomorrow and that is Ravens ML @ 1.6x. Even though the Chiefs are also 2-0, Ravens look better across the board, have just been putting up bigger numbers on offense. Chiefs D may contain the Ravens' scoring within the spread of 3.5, which is why I'm playing it safe with the ML. Also, Chiefs have a lot of injuries right now, and players recovering from injuries. Think the Ravens got this one for sure, we'll see...

I don't think its a bad idea to tag bumper accounts if one feels strongly about it... I think it definitely solidifies the case for a tag if the same bumping service was found to have been bumping a scam project in the past. But in general, its the scams that tend to employ these types of services; whether or not the project account deserves a red tag I think should be based on more than simply using bumping services. In most instances it won't be hard to find evidence pointing to a scam -- its good to buffer a rating with additional evidence.

Pretty crazy finish to the Rams / Bills game. After being down quite a bit early on, the Rams went on a late game scoring spree and managed to get ahead for a few, sweet minutes. It was all ultimately for not as the Rams had a dumb penalty on a crucial last minute play and made it a shoe-in for the Bills.

I put in one easy bet: ML on Buccaneers. It's not a big payout but I just don't see them losing this game -- not in this universe or through much of the multiverse.

Not really; they can say goodbye to their top 10 position after the fork as the market cap will be split into 2 separate, competing Bitcoin Cash's. On November 15th 2018, the day of the last hard fork, Bitcoin Cash was $420 a coin. Today BCH is $215 and BSV is $155, so those two coins combined don't equal the price of BCH pre-fork. There's no reason to think this time around will be any different.

On a side note, it would be a perfect opportunity for Roger Ver to finally drop the word "Bitcoin" from the name of his coin (seeing as how BCH is obviously not replacing BTC as the Bitcoin, as was his claim and rationale behind keeping the name "Bitcoin"), but being as dishonest and greedy as he is, there's no chance of him actually doing that.

As another aside, BCH is currently at all-time lows against BTC.

Good luck! I almost put a bet in for JAX to cover (-2.5) but changed my mind at the last second. That probably means they'll win by a lot now. Lol. Good 'ol Florida vs. Florida -- you know they'll have as many fans in attendance as possible, which I kind of prefer to empty stands and fake crowd noise, even if some of them statistically have to die of covid in a few weeks (not so LOL).

The explanation is very simple.

You use the same language and exhibit the exact same behavior as other known scammers:

Rambotnic
Boombl4
Old Samurai
Psomus








You've probably had many more accounts on the forum and I think I know at least one concurrent one right now. I think you know I know who it is as well. Just waiting for you to slip up with it so I can add it to the list.

Basically what he does (in each account) is heavily emphasize "forum escrow", but then should he find a victim that he strings along far enough on Telegram, he pretends to be an inactive forum escrow like Monbux or SebastianJu and contacts the victim also on Telegram. They have a 3-way chat and he runs off with the victim's money, usually trying to blame the victim in the process. As can be seen in the comment above, sometimes he simply invents other lame excuses to scam people.

If anybody else has any reasonable questions about how I came to this conclusion (that they are all alts), please feel free to ask. This guy is one of the worst types of people on the forum, if not the planet, and they have no place here.
