I'd also like to point out the fact that the account kaykawa has red trust only because it is linked to those other alts.

So by marking my account, you are saying that I am all those other accounts as well and yet you claim that you don't see any other proof other than a styling change.

 What exactly led you to believe that I am all those other people?

Honestly, this is absurd.  

You're so quick to tag people without doing any type of due diligence on the matter and then above that you have the audacity to label me as a shady account seller and point blank say that I am a scammer or do business with one?

You're simply trying to play cop and are doing a bad job at it.  

Shame on you ibminer.

I gave the account away several months ago.

Kind of stupid tagging me without asking me about the situation. Especially in something with a previous transaction that was supposed to be kept confidential.

Quite disappointed in alesx.  Next time try to clear things up in a sensible way instead of trying to throw everybody else to the wolves to save your own ass.

I like to keep trust issues out in the open so everyone can see what is going on.
Messaging a potential scammer to check with them just tips them off and they could just tell a few lies to delay the feedback for a few days and sell the account before they get tagged.

Everyone on this forum should be aware when accounts change hands. The only proof I have seen at this point shows you as the last owner of the kaykawa account. Outside of a writing style change, I have no reason to believe it switched hands again after you owned it. You unfortunately haven't shown any proof otherwise. If your being honest, who did you give away the account to and do you have any type of proof?  

If there is another person involved as of December, then that person appears to be linked to scammers due to an address posted in January. So are you a scammer, or are you doing business with one?

The fact that you guys all hide these account trades is shady in and of itself. If you want to sell your account, do it publicly so everyone is aware and neutral trust can be left on the account stating it has changed hands.

You are both running into a good reason why you should never sell your accounts.

I didn't sell the account.  I gave it away.  If it was up to me, all account sales would be banned.

I gave it to 'Supers Sonic' on skype.  Also goes by 'Nauro' on bitcointalk.  He did graphics for me in the past and kept hitting me up for work.  I didn't really want to pay him anything, but he was insistent and it was Christmas time, so I told him he could have my account to make money from signature campaign.  


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's quite ridiculous that I now have to prove myself from these accusations.  

This was why I wanted my first purchase of the account to be private because I don't want any connections to it after I'm done with it and yet  I have to listen to your condescending 'shady' comments.  

I get that you're trying to 'help' the public.  I just really think it could have been handled much better and with actual professionalism.  

I'm part of 3 people that are trusted with over 1000btc in our possession.  A quick look into myself would have led you to the logical realization that I'd have no reason to involve myself in shady behaviour.  

I sent him a message today on Skype

There are plenty of dice games that you can actually trust.

I'd avoid all sites that aren't provably fair (like Yobit for example) though just to be safe.
564  Other / Meta / Re: I caught someone cheating in auction on: June 08, 2016, 02:20:56 PM
the new owner was "Dogedigital".
Maybe he sold the account later, or is the guy you are looking for.

Just suppositions

I'm not saying : "He's the guy, crucify him!"

I'm so sorry for this, but this situation is stressful for me, too.

You just need to prove that you sold the account before the scam accusations.
(TX id, sgined message, escrow quote,etc)


"It's time to make the right question to him."

Just stop man.  ^ That's what you bolded.  

Why put emphasis on that when you didn't even reach out to me?  You're clearly trying to divert attention away from yourself and on to me.  That's cowardly.  

As I said before, I didn't sell it, I gave it away to a person that did graphics for me.
565  Other / Meta / Re: I caught someone cheating in auction on: June 08, 2016, 02:02:18 PM
About shill bidding (1 time in my own auction) and double-dip (BPB thread) with 2 alts, I did it, I'm not saying I didn't.
And I need to pay JUST for that (I'm open to do a donation to some BTC/Charity entity).

I didn't run a Ponzi, and I'm not related/asociated with the owners of that accounts.

@Dogedigital, I'm not throwing you to the fire, I quoted "when" i sold the account, and who was the "buyer".
Without that, how can I proove that i did it?.

Anyway, you just need to show a signed message or something.

Are you joking me? 

"Since that day, the account (kaykawa) was out of my control, the new owner was "Dogedigital".
Maybe he sold the account later, or is the guy you are looking for.

It's time to make the right question to him.


https://i.imgur.com/CEYf3rz.png"

That's your exact quote.  You even went as far as to BOLD my name and the statement to ask me instead when you didn't even have the courtesy or balls to ask me or inform me of what was going on first. 

That's exactly throwing me to the fire. Think before you act.
566  Other / Meta / Re: I caught someone cheating in auction on: June 08, 2016, 01:51:46 PM
I gave the account away to a user that did graphics for me on Skype.  This was just after Christmas. 

I had the kaykawa account from July 31 (4:23:35PM) - December 26.

You can obviously tell the difference in the way we speak and that the account was used for graphics services (I absolutely suck at drawing).

The 'alts' connected to that account are all Indian based.  I am from Canada.  This is me (bitrated.com/dogedigital).  I am not Kaykawa and have no involvement in that account from Dec 26 onward.

567  Other / Meta / Re: I caught someone cheating in auction on: June 08, 2016, 01:39:34 PM
It was confidential until the account was used to scam users with a ponzi.

Then they started associating "kaykawa" account to me.

I was the Owner of Kaykawa account til July 30/2015.
I was the Owner of Betterangels account til Feb 26/2016.

In this case, the escrow/buyer/dates quotes are in my last posts.

You don't have that right.  That's the worst policy ever.  You explicitly agreed to keep the transaction private.

Especially knowing the nature of sold and transferred accounts, you need to contact me and see what actually happened instead of blindly throwing me to the fire.

Yep i'm pretty sure everything on the site is pretty well documented.
we haven't had any issues since the launch of anyone feeling they aren't getting what the site says they are.
On every lose a gambler makes 99.45% of everything go's to investors unless the bet is so low that they can't get a fee of 0.55%.
But on the lose of investors to gamblers the site makes nothing, only on the lose of gamblers.

Full profits can be seen on the stats tab, an more detailed info here https://bitvest.io/charts

So... what you're saying is that the fees are only taken on losing bets.  I didn't know that.

I have a fair method for investors – will publish in due time – but currently in talks with another group that wants to license it to be first-to-market.

Either way, it appears likely to be open-sourced.

If the goal is to increase transparency and honesty, why would one hold it back?  Just curious. 

It's not like people are going to automatically jump at a new company that first introduces the method.
571  Economy / Gambling / Re: Breaking: Shuffle-based Provably Fair Implementations Can Cheat Players (proof) on: June 05, 2016, 01:56:50 PM

It (Edit: Stunna's) is a valid point. There is no investor provably fair implementation yet. (I like the concept here. https://etherdice.io/ )

**condensed quote


Any suggestions on how to make this as transparent as possible?

Not a concrete solution, but what if trusted members were able to pop under the hood periodically and check the logs and back-end code?
572  Economy / Securities / Re: 🌟Bitvest🌟 ▌Invest In A Gambling Site on: June 04, 2016, 10:21:06 PM
I would advise not investing in Bitvest.io. They do not portray how much of a cut they take from investors anywhere on their site, in fact you need to locate their bitcointalk thread to find that.


House edge: 1.8%
Their cut: 0.65% of every bet wagered
True HE for investors: 1.15%

Now for margin. They allow margin investing, sounds like it would be a benefit for investors... Well it isn't. Because just about every investor utilizes it (meaning your % share of the bankroll does NOT increase, thus your profits do not grow bigger). What this does is open you up to dangerous variance. Such as the bet on April 26 on Bitvest that wiped out over 15 BTC of the real invested amount (or 15% of the total bankroll). Another site that operated this was was SafeDice... Which got hammered and lost over 90% of the user's bankroll from a single dice shot.


This site also has low volume. 2800 total wagered is nothing, especially for a site that has been open this long. Less volume = less profit for investors.

Bitvest only has like 30 investors most the profit was made around 30-40 btc invested.
Most of it has been made since February not October an the lack of profit is do to lack of user interest.
Bitvest was more worried about building a higher quality product then massive profits.
An many of the investors who joined at the start i'm pretty sure cleared 100% on their investment doubling it.

As for margin based investments, the limits go up an down there is no way to win that much, first big hit the limits drastically change.
I'm talking about oh you can win 14 btc they hit it well now you can only win 4 btc because the massive drop.
In the short term you might lose some but its no where close to 90% they will hit edge before that happens as the gi go's down so does the amount they can win at one time.

Also the house edge is 1.7 not 1.8 the house splits it as 1.15 to investors an 0.55% to site an only on gamblers loses.
The rest of the bet go's fully to investors so every bet 99.45% of all loses go to investors.


Are you sure about this "The rest of the bet go's fully to investors so every bet 99.45% of all loses go to investors." ?

575  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🌟🎲🌟 MoneyPot.com -- Your Trusted Bitcoin Gambling Wallet (Upgraded Speeds!) on: May 31, 2016, 01:03:02 PM

Doge, are you sure that was all?!?

I am a passive investor in the house 'pot' and tally returns each night. Today I noticed something curious. Over the last 24 hrs 'investor profits' have risen about 4% (237.5-mil bits to 246.9-mil bits) but my invested funds have only risen about 1.1%. Generally I've found that these numbers should track pretty closely. Am I missing something or has there been some disconnect. By my understanding if 'investor profits' rise x% then a return on my largely static investment should closely mirror that.

Yes, that is all that occurred database wise.

The bankroll is at over 850 BTC, meaning if the bankroll profited 10 BTC (246.9 - 237.5), that would lead to each person's share of the bankroll increasing around 1.1% (10/850).

Ah, my mistake. Hope I didn't sound accusatory, was just tired and confused, lol. Anyway, love the platform. My biggest concern is security ... I really like the security features that Bitmex implements (see below). Hoping you guys got it locked down tight because I'm shoveling my btc into your investor pool. *You have an opportunity to differentiate yourself around security, but haven't seen it yet. Hoping you guys keep this front and center, even more important than growing the site.

This from a recent Bitmex e-mail:

"This weekend, Gatecoin was hacked. It appears losses may be as much as US$2M. The CEO, Aurelien Menant, is a friend of mine and a great entrepreneur. I am certain they are doing everything possible to recover the funds and get the exchange back online again quickly.

The security of user funds is our #1 priority. In light of this hack, I want to reiterate the security policies of BitMEX:
 
No Hot Wallet

The most common attack vector for Bitcoin exchanges is via their hot wallets. A hot wallet is a digital currency wallet where an internet exposed server has access to the private keys. A hot wallet allows users to withdraw their Bitcoin at any time without human intervention from the exchange.

BitMEX stores all customer funds using multi-signature wallets. No private keys are held on any internet exposed computer. 2 of 3 partners must manually sign each withdrawal from BitMEX. If someone hacked BitMEX.com, they would not be able to steal any customer funds.

Many exchanges do hot/cold hybrid stores, where there are withdrawal limits per-user and per-day on the hot, and it must be manually filled via the colds. This can be a good strategy, but it significantly increases complexity - the enemy of security. It appears Gatecoin had a hybrid approach, but the hackers were able to redirect deposits to the hot wallet.
 
Withdrawals Once Daily

Because all withdrawals must be processed manually by 2 of 3 partners, withdrawals are only processed once daily at 13:00 UTC. This allows us to manually review each withdrawal. In some cases where the user behavior is out of the ordinary, we personally contact a user to re-confirm their withdrawal.
 
Real-Time Auditing

BitMEX monitors the internal record and the blockchain balance of every account. We use many disparate blockchain datasources. If a conflict occurs, trading is suspended and the partners are notified.

BitMEX's trading engine sums all accounts to zero at every tick. This would normally be a very time-consuming process, but the superior financial technology used at BitMEX allows us to quickly validate every single execution as a part of the system as a whole. Even a satoshi's rounding error will cause trading to halt.

We take security very seriously. The policies above are among the most stringent at any exchange. In fact, BitMEX was the first exchange to run 100% multisignature wallets and 100% offline wallets. Despite some pressure for faster withdrawals, we have not compromised. We have found that users enjoy the peace of mind, despite the slight inconvenience."

We take security of the funds very seriously.

The vast majority of funds are held in cold wallet storage with 2/3 multi-sig.  We own the private keys.

We monitor the hot wallet closely to try and maintain a good balance between convenience and security.

I did visit a site that was going to be offering it but the traffic was barely anything,so chances of getting a table going of open face is nil. If I run into it,I will come back and give you a link for future. Think it was a smaller site,might have been cyberdeckpoker but they are still in soft opening,so lacking players.
Seals if it works for your computer or cell phone is alright,just be aware of collusion because it was popular to scam and rip people off there. If the table instantly fills you are not in a good spot. Cheesy

Are you referring to Cruel Poker (cruelpoker.com) ?

I wish they had traffic.  It looks great graphics wise, but have no idea how fluid the gameplay is because noone ever plays there.  It's a shame really.

It's crazy how much moneypot can fluctuate, 15%down in a day.
Is there anything new since the last maintenance or was it just maintenance

That's variance for you, one moment investors earned over 200 btc from players, and then the next drops 15% as a whale finally wins. It's just part of the risks and take it from a veteran in the business you want to see players win too because its best for business.
I know it's just a reminder that your still gambling when investing.

Yes, but gambling with a positive expected value as an investment Smiley
