Hi Everybody,

 I am from Europe and just know about the stimulus Checks out of the Media. I would like to buy one as a collectible piece of monetary history.
How would I go about?

* Can you keep the physical check after redeeming?
* If that's not the case - how long are they valid?
* Can they be verified somehow?

I want Donalds Sharpie Signature.

That is a funny idea.

If you are physically depositing the check to the bank, then no, you can't keep it. But I know some banks have apps where you take a picture of it with your phone and send it to the bank, and they deposit it electronically. It would still require whoever to write their signature on it, and would have their name, and possibly address... Don't know about the whole verification thing. You also have to take into account that many Americans have direct deposit so they won't ever get the check. Good luck!

Reviving this thread for a minute:

I did a quick search through the topic and didn't find anything about it, so I wanted to ask you, how do you feel about e-sports gambling? Do you do much of it? What do you think e-sports gamblers look for when they are trying to find an edge?

Oh, also, what are you currently betting on these days? Most sports leagues have closed up for at least a while. I notice some eastern european leagues still going: Kazakhstan and Belarus don't seem to care about the virus at all. Same thing with Nicaragua.

E-sports on the other hand seem to be more popular now than ever! Business is booming for them.

Thanks, hope alls been good.
4843  Other / Meta / Re: [POLL] Should I donate the Known Alts Donation funds to Bruno's plea? on: April 16, 2020, 10:07:45 AM
Personally I wouldn't send anything until you know that you're not just sending it directly into a black hole. Why don't you donate it in his honour to another charity? That would seem more apt in my opinion. There's millions of other charities and people around the world that could do with some help right now and a fair few accept bitcoin directly.

I wouldn't donate it unless there is a way to confirm that any of his relatives have access to the funds. It would be a waste if you donate it while knowing that the funds will be lost.

Guess it's already confirmed here that his family has access to the donation address.

Confirmed by who? Some random no-name account? I wouldn't believe anything that accounts says without some evidence.

What, you don't believe the same account who just wrote this in a thread titled "Paying whatever you can salvage to blow my head off cause life's a bitch"?

Send me a pm on telegram: @vmatasari.

Maybe I can help you somehow. Wink

Or who just applied for a BTC loan after saying he donated to Bruno twice?

/s, if it needs to be said.

I tried alluding to the fact that his family was aware of the donations that had been made in his name. I also recommend that no more donations be made to his addresses. I knew Bruno personally and have been in contact with a family member. That's about all I can say. If you need specifics for whatever reason then you can PM me.

Craig Wright on the topic of  Hodling or rather hoedeling as he pronounces it.

"Hoedeling is probably the most despicable evil thing you can do with bitcoin"

Says the the man who claims to control the bitcoins mined by Satoshi that have never been moved.

UPDATE:



CSW appears to have been banned from Twetch

Thanks for this. After a week of being harassed and receiving death threats from BSVers, I could use a good laugh.

Update - important memes:





Whether they are joking or not, casting out CSW as de facto leader of BSV is probably the best PR move they could possibly make.

Wonder how many people from this list are still active in the crypto community. I know Eric Vorhees is (don't really know much about his ponzi escapade or why he's on the list, I've only known him as the ShapeShift guy. This name also rings a bell:

Bryce Weiner   (Razor et al.)

He's still taking bitcoin and giving out shitcoins in return.

Just wanted to bump a classic Gleb thread.

Why is no CRYPTSY staff on the list ? Or KING Scammer Risto / Reptiela from Monero ?

OK so let's fast forward nearly 4 years. Who here in present day remembers any of these guys?

Who would you now add to this poll, almost 4 years later?

I would have definitely added:

4849  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 15, 2020, 12:49:30 PM
Off topic, but what I am really fucking hating right now is Bitcoin's new found correlation with the traditional markets, annoying as all hell.

Its been there since at least 2019. Perhaps for a lot longer. We just didn't see it until recently, because the stock market had been in a bull run for the entirety of bitcoin's existence (up until March, that is). Also, Wall Street has never been connected to bitcoin as it is now.

If you look at the historical correlation between the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) and the S&P500 ETF (SPY), there's a definite pattern emerging.

Correlation since 2016: 0.14
Since 2017: 0.16
Since 2018: 0.21
Since 2019: 0.25
Since 2020: 0.51
Since 2/1/20: 0.57
Since 3/1/20: 0.60

0 = no correlation
1.0 = complete correlation

I'm not saying things will always remain this way, but they might for some time. At least until the effects of inflation are truly felt around the world.

This scumbag is a real POS.

He's been temp banned for 60 days. It wouldn't hurt to report this to theymos. I've already done so. Maybe he'll be more inclined to remove the feedback if reported by multiple people here.
4851  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: ::) on: April 15, 2020, 05:15:12 AM

None of anything you just said refutes these central points:

1. Bryce Weiner has a long-time reputation in the crypto community as a scam artist.
2. He copied a project without crediting its source.
3. He plagiarized the descriptive text of a project and called it his own.


For the sake of argument, let's just assume I own every single account that has criticized Bryce Weiner in the Tao thread (that's at least a dozen, probably more): how does that debunk any of the 3 points stated above? It doesn't.

I already explained to you that this is enough to get any project on the forum tagged as a scam, and we're not making an exception for Bryce Weiner. The best chance you have of making things right is to just fuck off from this forum. It's not going to be a launchpad for yet another Weinercoin scam.
4852  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][TAO] Tao, AltMarket & FanMix - Real Solutions for the Music Industry! on: April 14, 2020, 02:34:04 PM
These posts explain why Bryce did what he did, as described by previous developers that have worked with him in the past. Basically, he can't write code of his own and has a long-standing history of stealing the work of others and passing it off as his own. He also has no shame when it comes to manipulating social media to exact vengeance on those who have crossed him. I'm sure he has an excuse as to why all of his critics are wrong and he is a saint.

He only broke code Bryce did not make any coins imho especially a Blake based coin he does not even seem to be able to compile coin wallets atm Shocked

most if not all the working code and compiled wallets for his coins seem to be done by other devs wonder why  Roll Eyes

you can see from the github commits I was the fool who fixed and got Dirac working and also ran all the nodes and merged mined it on my pools but I am working on other projects namely the mmo games and Bryce did not like that as I would not do anymore work on coins and would not setup a merged pool on demand which resulted in him getting very abusive to me via DM and email which you can see some of that here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=616288.msg9527356#msg9527356

I never asked for any type of payment for any thing I have done with Blake based coin projects and I also really dislike the premine and ipo/ico crap that is also far too common if anyone wants to send coins to a dev because they have actually done some work great but these other schemes should be avoided as there is not any proof a dev will produce results after they have x% of a coin they claim to be the dev of or a big bag of BTC Roll Eyes
...
Note: Market price does not equal results or development as they are far to easy to manipulate and is often the way these scam coins are hyped
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_fool_theory

Edit:
Another thing I know for sure is that Bryce uses multiple accounts both here and on twitter (both haters and lovers which is kind of weird)

it would not surprise me if he setup an account just so he could say it was not him after paying someone to make the coin for him
Quote from: Bryce Weiner
I'll go and do it myself.  If I can't do it I'll pay someone to do it.

I am still not happy with the xdq code its got bugs and issues and Bryce cant be bothered to updated the code with even the simplest update *checkpoints

I will never work with Bryce again after the way he treated me he can apologize all he likes it does not change that he is a bully to work with and for an open source project there is nothing that will entice me to work with people like that including fake apologies, BTC or Fiat currency its not going to happen ever he burned his bridges with me and the other blake eco devs!

You can remove Dirac if you wish, but then I'll tell the world it's because you want total control over a closed source system and refuse to allow coin devs to setup their own pools.

I wanted you to know what's coming because I felt I owed you at least that much.

I am sorry we could not work together, but I will not work with wannabe tyrants.

See how that works?

getting me to do all the work on xdq and trying to force me to setup a merge pool for Bryce because he can't and won't do it himself is certainly not a courtesy imho

Bryce has a screwed up way of thinking about ethics go work with him yourself and dont take my word on it!

atm I am stuck with running the nodes for xdq and maintaining it on the merged pools and it sucks  Cry

Exactly , we will never work with Bryce again, not for all the tea in china or all the btc in satoshi's hoarde.

ive seen those e mails with full headers and more detail.

i don't care how many fake forum accounts or fake twitter accounts come out to be his friend or pretend to be his enemy, Bryce is a waste of time , I will never ever acknowledge him or anything he is involved with again.

And no matter how many of you people running multiple accounts come out of the woodwork is no difference to me (or to Bluedragon obviously)

From what I've seen Bryce the Weiner is involved in scam after scam.

But here's the thing which people don't get.  The guy is totally incompetent as a coder. Last year he was asking around for advice how to compile a wallet in windows.  The guy is an idiot at programming and he's a bigger idiot at things like economics.  I have corrected him so many times regarding elementary issues, on twitter and he just deletes his tweets and lies about everything.

So I have to wonder how such an incompetent idiot is everywhere and gets so much credit when he knows nothing?

More to follow.

Thank you nutildah. Keeping the sadness of the situation in mind at least there is some good news that his family will get the funds. I apologise if I came across somewhat forward but thank you nonetheless for manner in which you clarified it.

No problem -- I just meant that I can't go into detail on the matter on a public forum.
4855  Economy / Reputation / Re: [Plead] Phinnaeus Gage's User Moniker Manifested Due to a Malignant Brain Tumor on: April 14, 2020, 10:50:42 AM
The donations were requested for a specific purpose so does anybody know what will happen to those funds and does anybody have access to them to ensure they will be spent in accordance to his wishes?

Unfortunately, he passed way too soon for those type of arrangements to be made. It's a delicate matter that shouldn't be discussed in public but everyone who donated should know that his family will get the funds.

ps: your ETH conversion is off by a couple of decimal places.

equals

$6,666.66

MARK OF THE BEAST.

Seriously though. Gimme my 6 and 2/3 grand, and 66 cents. Fuck the airlines.

Giving that to 300 million instead of $1200 to 100 million and hundreds of billions to a few corporations seems like a much better idea.

Are you seriously going to drag Bruno into this when the guy's been dead for less than a week? I certainly hope that you are unaware of this fact. Otherwise, that makes you a complete asshole.
P.S. Bruno was well liked in these parts. In fact, Theymos just gave his main account VIP status. Looks like the mic drop is on you because all your post does is make most people here less likely to buy TAO2.


If you read my post it is entirely clear that I have no idea who he was, or if he even was a real person and not an additional alt of Nutildah. I've never heard of him before this nonsense.

Sigh. All your long-winded assault on me proved was that you are a moron. YTC was an utter failure. Any funds received were returned to the investors. Neither Bryce nor notsofast can say the same about their (many, many) failed projects. Not going to address the rest of your "concerns" as you have stooped to an idiotic low and they are irrelevant to the following facts:

1. Bryce Weiner has a long-time reputation in the crypto community as a scam artist.
2. He copied a project without crediting its source.
3. He plagiarized the descriptive text of a project and called it his own.


Those 3 things are enough to get any project here tagged as a scam. We're certainly not going to be making exceptions for Bryce "Baby I got your money" Weiner.

His relatives may already know about this donation.

Indeed.

They are. At least one of them is. That's all I can say about it.

It might sound cheesy, but the funeral home also had a "buy a tree" link, so that might also be something worth doing.

Honestly this sounds like a good idea if you have funds and need to do something with them.
4860  Economy / Scam Accusations / notsofast gearing up to shill for Tao 2? on: April 13, 2020, 08:42:25 AM
Again, another attempt at misdirecting away from Bryce getting caught plagiarizing a project to launch yet another scam.

I have provided concrete proof of Bryce's plagiarism. Not you, not ACGCrypto, and not even he has denied it. Knowing his long-time penchant for running scams, he is no doubt preparing to launch another one under the guise of "Tao 2.0"

"Many here know how Github and how cloning a coin works, the coin was forked from another open source coin, and what?"

And many more don't know how it works. There are ways of performing a GitHub fork to properly accredit the source code. Bryce avoided doing that, hoping nobody would notice, instead telling his Slack followers about all the "hard work" he was doing.

If this issue didn't matter so much, you wouldn't be here, pathetically attempting to dox me. How does knowing my real life identity in any way change the fact that Bryce is a scammer and notsofast is a scam supporter? It doesn't.



Speaking of notsofast, who apparently has been a "lowkey supporter of Tao" (as someone put it) (and now high-key supporter), let's delve into his track record for a minute. Wonder why he deleted this tweet, which said this:

Quote
I like @CryptoBridge as a kickass, incentivized gateway-based exchange.
Imminently, I expect @The_Blocknet (with Ethfinex and $ZRX integration) to dominate the space for decentralized multichain protocols: dex and anything else you can build.



What happened with CryptoBridge that would make him delete his tweet? Well, let's find out.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/cryptobridge-closes-down-and-waves-relaunches-dexs-face-tough-times

Quote
CryptoBridge was founded in July 2017 as “a gateway which provides access to BitShares: a high performance, scalable blockchain” that, in turn, allows users to trade established cryptocurrencies as well as “up-and-coming tokens and altcoins.” To fund the development of the software platform, CryptoBridge launched a native token called BridgeCoin, allegedly distributing 50% of all trade revenue to its stakeholders...

In October 2019, the exchange announced that all its new and existing and customers were required to submit user verification before continuing to deposit and withdraw funds in order to protect both themselves and CryptoBridge from “being held responsible for any illegal intentions or money laundering activities.”..

Then, on Dec. 2, the DEX announced that all of the firm’s services and servers will be terminated within two weeks. Users will be able to withdraw funds from the exchange until Dec. 15 — the last day of operation...

After the announcement was made, CryptoBridge immediately shut down all of its social media channels...

According to the trader, enacting Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering procedures “was not an oversight but clearly intentional on Cryptobridge’s part.” After u/Apollohasgas provided CryptoBridge with their personal information including full name and residential address as well as scans of their driver’s license and passport, the platform’s administration requested a copy of u/Apollohasgas’ latest tax return.  “I did not comply with that request,” the trader told Cointelegraph, adding:

“I then contacted CB support asking for help and expressing my frustration that so much of my personal information was being requested. I never heard back from them. Cryptobridge is a scam. I have come to learn that many in the crypto community are aware of this.

This happened to hundreds of customers. The dumbest thing about all this is CryptoBridge was supposed to be a DEX, so requiring KYC (2 weeks before closing) was especially shady.

If there was any doubt about notsofast being an ardent CryptoBridge supporter, this should put it to rest (taken from an archived version of the CryptoBridge website homepage):



Despite having a history of objecting to KYC implementation in exchanges, he had no problem absolving himself (and CB) of any wrongdoing by means of conducting a "poll" on his twitter:



notsofast may have just been an unwitting participant and I'm not saying he necessarily did anything wrong, but his judgment certainly is suspect, especially knowing he had prior history of promoting scam projects on the forum.



Indeed, the assumption that the project was a scam was correct, as project founder "AceOfWallStreet" fled with all his investors' money, but not before pulling one final exit pump scam on Bittrex.





Again, it could be possible that @notsofast was again just an unwitting participant in another scam.

Interestingly, notsofast and AceOfWallStreet were co-advisors of another project called Taylor that was supposed to be a "personal trading assistant" app. Taylor reached its soft cap of 500 ETH in 10 minutes, raising close to 3,100 ETH by the end of the token sale.



On May 22nd, 2018, the Taylor team announced that they had been the victims of a hacking, claiming that 2,578 of the 3,100 ETH had been mysteriously stolen, along with all of the "TAY tokens from the Team and Bounty pools." (?) Seemingly nobody bought this idea, especially not the investors:

Quote
First step to rebuild your shattered reputation is to hire an impartial crypto forensics team to find out exactly how this (so called) hack occured.

Talk to the CoinDash (now Bloq) team. They successfully traced thier hacker and got 20,000 ETH back: https://www.zdnet.com/article/hacker-returns-20000-eth-stolen-during-coindash-ico/

If the SmartTaylor team does not get an impartial crypto forensics team in, they will just look exit scammers.

notsofast did chime in with his opinion of what happened after being asked for it on twitter:



This statement by the Taylor team received a few responses with an underlying theme behind them:







Taylor's last development update was made in March 2019, the reception of which was summarized in one particularly succinct comment:



So, even with such a terrible track record of getting caught up in scam after scam, its quite possible that notsofast is just a hapless investor/advisor with extremely poor judgment when it comes to picking projects. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and assume this is the case: is there any reason why anybody should be following him or participating in projects he puts his name to, or even just casually mentions? I would say "no." But that's just me. Good thing he puts this disclaimer on his twitter profile:



Guess that means he doesn't think you should take him seriously either.
