He was asking for collateral, here's the archive of the unedited original post in his first lending thread: https://ninjastic.space/topic/5454298

After he was asked about escrow for the collateral in his first (now deleted) thread he started a second thread which was a copy of the first, but he crossed out the part about collateral.


Not the only one.  Here's another that I reported a couple of days ago that's nothing more than a request for a handout; https://ninjastic.space/post/62375765

The second loan thread is still active despite also asking for donations.

This is probably the same alt-farm-troll that's been spamming the lending board for the last year.  He seems to have switched his tactics from asking for loans to offering them.  I suspect he's using one of his many alts to appear like a "legit" lender.   I have no evidence just yet, so I'll refrain from mentioning the account name in this post.

NOT go the Full Distance 2

Lol, sure thing.  I'm living in a dream world while you're the newbie asking internet strangers to give you $2k without any guarantees you'll pay back.  Okay fine, but for some inexplicable reason I suspect my "dream world" is much closer to reality than yours.   

I'm not talking about consequences, of course there should be consequences.  I've removed Timelord from my inclusions as a result of his stubbornness, and refrained from adding him the past due to the same.  This has all been documented.  And please don't include yourself in the "clique" that I mentioned in the my previous post.  You, probably above all others have demonstrated restraint and rational thinking, especially when it comes to matters relating the forum's trust features.  

I'm talking about people who come here hurling insults, even though they don't have a dog in the fight.  It really demonstrates the shallowness of their personality, and poor judgment of their own.  I can understand those who've been directly affected by Timelords actions taking things personally, but why does it seem that whenever an established member steps in shit, the weakest minds among us get giddy with the opportunity to insult him?

The funniest part about it is the fact that many of these mean girls (unlike Timelord) have made little to no significant contributions to the forum other than being WO merit whores, but lo and behold how they jump on their high horse to kick a man when he's down.  It's pathetic.

Sometimes the Reputation board reminds me of the clique of mean girls that we all had to deal with in high school.  Timelord2067 has made himself an easy target, he made a mistake with the feedback ratings he left, then another by taking the communities response personally and digging in his heals rather than admitting his mistake.  Rather human of him, yes, and obviously gives the mean girls and drama queens a great opportunity to kick a man while he's down.

But, can any of you mean girls tell me with absolute honesty that you've never made the same mistakes?  Honestly?

Didn't think so.

If it's one thing I've learned about Timelord over the years is that no matter how many of these attacks he's withstood, he'll take it like a man.  It won't change him or the effort he puts into this forum.  Right or wrong, that kind of strength of character is far more admirable than a bunch of giggly schoolgirls rushing to kick a man while he's down.

Security and privacy are getting attacked from all sides these days, that's for sure.  Just when Ledger announces their "Shared Self-Custody" service, Trezor is contracting with Wasabi who's in turn contracting with arbitrary Chain Analyses scammers.

It's really too bad about Trezor, they had such a good thing going being among the most popular fully open-source hardware wallets.  Even their app allows for one to connect to a private SPV server for bitcoin (and maybe some shitcoins, but I wouldn't know.)  Contracting with Wasabi is such a slap in the face to their customers who care about privacy.  At this point I feel like my Trezor One is useless, and my Trezor Model T has been relegated for use with my XMR full node only.

If Foundation implements XMR compatibility into their Passport wallet, Trezor will be in real trouble.

If you're bullish on Bitcoin, i.e. you don't want to sell your stash but you need some $USD right now, it's a good way to leverage your bitcoin.  Many lenders have started to offer stablecoin loans, so that may prompt someone to ask for a loan secured by bitcoin as collateral.  Conversely, if you own and are bullish on an alt-coin, but need some bitcoin you could do the same with ETH (for example) as collateral, and borrow BTC.

As you've likely noticed, most of the borrowers who are granted loans are well established members who are granted relatively small loans without collateral.

Stop trolling the lending board with your multiple alts.

Lol!  Yes, indeed.  Thanks for tagging it.

I don't know of any electrum SPC server that's ready to go for a Mac and I have very little experience with MacOS, but you may be able to compile a binary of Electrs (Romanz¹ or Blockstream²) that will run on your system.

¹https://github.com/romanz/electrs
²https://github.com/Blockstream/electrs


ElectrumX is one of the SPC servers compatible with Electrum (and many other clients,) but as far as I know it's intended to run on Linux.  Again, if you're skilled with such things you can compile your own binary, but I don't know of any instructional that will guide you through the process.


Romanz Electrs is very easy to set up and plenty good enough for personal use with a blockchain explorer.  One of my servers has been running Mempool.space with Romanz Electrs as the backend, and it's been running flawlessly for nearly two years.  Looking up an address with a ton of transactions will be slow, but I've never had it hang up.  Blockstream's Electrs fork is more robust and more practical for a public server, but it requires more resources.

Why is it that scammers often take refuge in religious proclamations when exposed?  Insha'allah you're are telling the truth, but I'm sorry to say that when I first saw this post I suspected you were lying.  Then notscam420 posted some very compelling circumstantial evidence, and so did lovesmayfamilis.  If you'll notice neither of those members are in my trust inclusions because I often think they are over zealous in their search for cheaters, and I tend to be very cautious and distrusting of their reports.  In this case, however I think they might be on to something. 

The way you reacted to the pumpkin carving accusation compared to the way you're reacting here are very different, almost polar opposites.  From one extreme to the other, but both reactions point to guilt.  I don't see any compelling evidence to justify a red-tag just yet, but I'm starting to believe you deserve one.

Look into Bisq.network, that's probably your best bet for regular peer to peer transactions.  I don't see payoneer as a payment option they support, but if you are capable of using other services it's been my favorite way to exchange fiat to BTC and vice versa.

What you posted is not the real site, check the links posted by o_e_l_e_o. 

I don't think the software will run on Win7, but it should work fine on Win10.  I've been running Win11 and Debian 11 on all my machines, and I don't have any issues running Bisq with those OSs.  I seem to recall having this discussion with you before, you're using Win7, correct?

The Electrum development team released a minor upgrade a couple of days ago.  It looks like it's mostly fixing some issues with the Android GUI as it relates to creating multi-sig wallets.

Don't forget to verify the download!

This question is really above my pay grade, but maybe I can make a suggestion that will help you down the right track.  I've run a couple of different SPV servers over the last few years including ElectrumX, Romanz' Electrs, and (my favorite,) blockstream's Electrs.  Blockstream's Electrs has been the most stable and practical one that I've used, and it tends to be the one recommended by most client-side developers.

As for communicating with the server, could it be as simple as creating API requests?  Again, this part is above my pay grade but if it helps, here's Blockstream's API documentation: https://github.com/blockstream/esplora/blob/master/API.md

What the literal fuck?  Over!

Why would anyone bump this painful memory?  TYM and ASU really figured out how to take advantage of my generous nature, and I consider them responsible for my current ornery disposition towards borrowers on this forum.  Things will never be the same!  Even though I would never risk more than I can afford to lose, and the losses I suffered to those two(?) pieces of shit didn't affect my over all financial health, the pain of being duped by them is still real.

If anyone has something significant to add to this topic in the future, please PM me.

Thread locked!

I'm reluctant to pass judgement just yet.  I tend to agree with examplens' comments in the other thread that the participants of a ponzi shouldn't be tagged for their naivete.  Unless there's proof that alterra57 or HedgeFx are facilitating the ponzi, I think the red-tags and the flags are inaccurate.  

I'm also not convinced that the addresses used aren't merely coincidental due to them belonging to a relatively popular exchange, as nutildah has pointed out.  If it's proven that the two accounts are alts, giving a loan to yourself is pretty shady shit and would deserve a tag for that alone, but again I'm yet to be convinced.

I'm not saying there isn't something suspicious here, but as things are at the moment I'm not seeing enough evidence to justify the tags and flags.  I'm going to hold off on support or opposition for the time being.
