What happened:  Today I requested additional loan in shasan's thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030169.msg62169183#msg62169183. After some discussions privately with shasan it was approved by him and he sent the coins. As soon as it arrived the hacker moved it from my wallet address: bc1qwerty0uuuee9t3jf5tvr0952a099p67qama7k3 (only one in the wallet). I am not sure how he got control of my Electrum wallet  (despite Malwarebytes on my laptop) but as soon as it happened I reset password of forum and other sites via my mobile and did fresh install of Windows.

Scammers Wallet Address: bc1qzzvml53wkc5g4w5tuk6xz0t0j332rfgftymf2f

Amount Scammed: 0.015 BTC


In seclog both the recent password changes were done by me and to confirm that I am the real Avirunes here is the signed message from my oldest address which I have kept safe on my blockchain.info:




Even after the signed message, I think shasan can verify that I am real Avirunes here as we were always in touch through telegram.


I am clueless as to how this could have happened as like I said I had Malwarebytes on my laptop but despite that this incident happened.I know how dumb and idiot I look right now but I still can't wrap my head around how this could have happened.

About the current loan, that should be settled on Monday in full likely or at least principal will be repaid.

Interesting figures there to watch but yeah Benzema has been amazing so far. He is the one Real Madrid heavily relies on to score for them and he has already completed the job in first half for them. Lewandowski is scoring goals but he hasn't been able to rise in occasion where one hoped for. Its just his first season so I think he will adjust to the squad and league in some more time.

Since Lewandowski's arrival, that has always been in the books and I am not much surprised they are still going out for the topscorer of LaLiga this season. This will go on till one of them leaves the club.

Good point. United also needs points in order to keep themselves in top 4. BTW, they are 6 points clear off Spurs who stands 5th and United also are 2 games behind so I think United are on comfortable seat for CL spot finish. While for Europa spot it is a tough fight going on as I can easily see 4-5 teams fighting for the Europa ticket positions - 5th, 6th.

Also surprised to see Aston Villa in top 10 and also on 6th position. Then again, maybe I have been focused more on Brighton and Brentford that I didn't saw them moving so fast up the table.

Brighton also put great performance against United in FA Cup semifinal as the match went on to the penalties. Brighton ran bit out of luck but apart from that they really pushed hard in that match. They will for sure looking out for revenge. They are having a wonderful season and they are close to Europa league spot and de Zerbi and his men will be looking for that.

I think it can go either way but one thing is for sure that United will again find it hard time facing Brighton.

In another match, amazing scenes in Brentford vs Forest game, as Brentford have found the 2nd goal in injury time despite 1-0 down in first game. Ivan Toney equalised in 82nd minute and Da Silva with the winner. Seems like winner to me now.

Yes, they have very great scouts who hire some good young prospects and develop them. Right now they have players like Adeyemi, Reyna, Moukoko who can really fetch some great price if they develop them and they put performances to get attention of big clubs.


I don't quite recall who were the clubs interested in getting him from Birmingham but I think Dortmund were quickest to act on it. They got the agreement and moved the player. Its actually tough as not many clubs put a young player like 17- year old in first team action but Dortmund actually dares to do it which is why it is a very good place for young prospects to grow.


Yeah I can see him getting a good future there. Not sure when but I think he could feature for Madrid one day. At just 19 year old he is regarded as a "modern midfielder which has got everything" as Thierry Henry said.

Pochettino is a great manager and has good experience of PL so that makes him more perfect for the job. He had great time with Spurs so I think he should do well at Chelsea if he is appointed. Chelsea has a big squad so Poch will have lot of options to work. Initially I think he might struggle a bit tryingto find the right squad but after some matches he will have perfect idea of his players for sure.

I have been admirer of Poch style earlier but haven't followed after he moved to PSG. I can't think of anyone better than Poch at the moment for the job. Oh yeah , Zidane is also there but I doubt he will come to PL.

Well lot of us were expecting a good fight from Arsenal given how crucial the match was for both the teams. We weren't able to create attacks and find shots in the first half. Although we were enjoying good amount of possession but we weren't using it properly. Guardiola was smart with Haaland dropping down in attack and making assists and passes building up plays. Haaland was exceptional in that fixture and reason why so we lost by the big difference.

I still believe in the team and hope Arsenal will find perform consistently from here on till the end of the season.

Like I said they are free to explain here. What you said is also possible. I admit I have to change neutral a bit and will edit some part but it will stay as a warning to anyone dealing with them until they come and explain this with proofs.



If you think that I took users from Nigerians local board and connected them then you are wrong. I started with simple wallet digging is that's all. I have connected 3 accounts with martyns out of which 2 users haven't posted in Nigerian board ever. So its a humble request to not make such remarks which are not true.

I am not surprised here with Brighton's performance or Chelsea failure to score a goal. Chelsea have good players but they have struggled to score for a long time. They always find very good opportunities to score but they have been having hard time finding the net. We all know the situation Chelsea are in so not something to be surprised of. Also Brentford are tough counter-attacking team. They have been strong this season and some really good attacking players. They know how to find spaces and how to put pressure on opponents and so far in this season I feel that's what has been their reason of success.

Was I? Guess that's just the usual me when it comes to this  


I often feel that there are more to the list if a cases like this pops up. I like how Yahoo started the other thread to discuss about this but like many others and I also think it should be case by case basis. But cases like alt ring and the way they are using it needs to be discussed also. Majority of these accounts purposes are to enroll in signature campaign and earn as much as they can. They don't care about rules or anything. So that's why I want to see what's community take on this.

I would request if someone wants to continue discussion about alts discussion then continue in yahoo62278 thread


Don't worry about it. I am very glad when someone acknowledges the work. That's make up for everything.



I don't know how to react to this but I respect everyone's opinions is what I would say. Some take things seriously and some don't but I feel both are right in their own way.

I feel that best in normal cases is to go with neutral and in comment add a link to thread relating to potential risks of dealing with bought accounts and sellers (if there isn't then someone should create- it would be very helpful). But before that these accounts bought should self-admit in Known alts Thread.

I for example also bought this account Avirunes but I have self admitted in alts thread right before I bought it and instead of continuing from my original account I posted with this as I wanted to set an examples for others to follow to self-admit and continue on so that I don't hide anything. I have said it million times that I have nothing to hide and I believe in this community is why I have come this far out but guess not everyone feels like me as they think others will mark them negative right from when they admit. KWH have put a neutral on me and I am sure Timelord2067 also has put one on me but I am fine with that because they are not wrong.

It's a time like this when you really feel that you efforts are in vain no matter how many years you sticked trying to set an example.

I've followed a pattern (Receive Signature earning and move to some exchange or other address) and I have got some more accounts connected here:

That's not all they also send their address in the same way to another address which I think is an address from an exchange . 1BVhf8FgxS5oNDhyCBP97tmv9P8WJYGKBs   [000177bc41]

I've found another user with wallet sending to 1BVhf8FgxS5oNDhyCBP97tmv9P8WJYGKBs   [000177bc41]   address. They've dealt 2 times but what more interesting is that the user has sent/received merits also from this ring of accounts. Also this user has posted in this thread too. Although, I am not much sure about him.

There's a 1xbit participant as well. (not the one already connected, its a different one)



Anyway, I am gonna focus on these 4 accounts - blackened515, martyns, LordHermes, omgitshehe and proceed

[1] I've checked BPIP.org and here are some screenshots sending merits to each other

[2] This is interesting and what I have seen from spammers & multi-accounts during 16-17. These users also posts quoting each other just generating posts between themselves in order to meet post quota.

You guys will find more posts like this. I am not sure how campaign managers sees this but that's for definitely not the right way to use the forum. Clearly they are doing anything for the sake of earning money.

Who knows maybe in dire need of money they can use one account to escrow and on other one to start the deal and then scam. That's one account gone and then go to next one.

Some of these accounts have been neutral marked by JollyGood for gap in history and there has been once instance where lovesmyfamilis has poked him too at his attempt to get into campaign by increasing merit count on the application post.


My opinion: I think this is a big alt ring, Martyns is just a piece and there could be lot more. Right now my impression is that he just wants to earn as much as from signature campaigns and therefore he posts every chance he gets. Even if there is none, he creates one. I mean look at the address: https://explorer.btc.com/btc/address/33GPgbaJuSaMyBo8tuhe6HhRunptrE8xVS , there is 0.166BTC (approx $4,800) being moved to that wallet. That's not how forum is intended to be used. Is it?

In addition to that, the one I have my suspicion on has been part of the campaign for 100 weeks and believe me its a good paying campaign as I have been part of that earlier. There are some more (including 1xbit one I mentioned above) but its based on just not much strong links I guess but I am still digging on those.

Everyone should be given chance to explain themselves so I asking @blackened515, @LordHermes and @omgitsmehehe to post here to explain the situation here and will see how the community sees this.

It's a must win game for Arsenal here otherwise winning title is really out of hands. I am sure Arteta has given them a strong team talk before the game and how much importance this fixture holds. Winning this might not set things clear for us but it will give the margin back we need on the table. I am glad Xhaka is back in the lineup to help the team today. I am actually excited to see what kind of approach we take against City today given how crucial this fixture is.

Ah LoyceV's tools. That will for sure do. Thanks a lot 

I've some questions regarding BPIP security/moderator log. Does it shows the full list of security and modlog till date? or is there a point of date? I am checking a profile and just trying to make sure of something.

Also is there a way where I can see full merit history of a profile?

To be honest, I didn't saw anything related to Neymar to Chelsea last transfer window. I mean its not even close. IIRC, Neymar 1-2 years ago signed a long contract which expires in 2025 and has option to extend further. So I don't think PSG has any intention to let him go Neymar has any plan to leave the French giant.


I don't think so. If Neymar wants so much to play with Messi then why did he left Barcelona for PSG? It's not related to whether Messi wants to stay or not. Personal issues always happen between teammates and I think it can resolve over the time but I don't think its any reason to change the team for. Also I don't think these personal issues has gone so far that they together can't play anymore. Neymar is out with injury right now and I think he will play with his heart out for PSG once he recovers and come backs on the pitch.

Koulibaly hasn't lived upto expectations so far yet and so I think it's better to let him go when a bid arrives for him. Chelsea brought in to keep their defence line tough but it's still the same. So better to sell him off, and get a new tough and good defender in the next transfer window. Chelsea needs to find a better defence line as soon as possible. In my opinion, their full backs are good like Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Marc Cucurella but their center backs are not. Apart from Thiago Silva nobody is reliable enough. So I think they need to seriously bring in some good defensive players. To be honest, they should have done it last year only as with now them not qualifying for CL, its tough to bring in players(with CL dreams) which they might actually want.

United have long list on injuries as well so its gonna be a bit of problem for them but given how Spurs are clueless right now I think United has the upper hand at the moment. I really don't like the way Levy has taken club decisions really. I wouldn't be surprised if after 3-4 years, Spurs fall into mid table teams because that's how much their quality has dropped. Spurs are counter-attacking team but to actually have that they also need to have a very strong defence and Spurs really have a poor defence right now and hence they have less no. of opportunities. In my opinion they need to restructure this whole squad and strategy and for that they need a manager who is gutsy enough to make those changes and board who trusts the idea and the manager to make those changes.

Partial repayment of 0.00254312 BTC was made against the loan. Remaining amount: 0.00295688 BTC which will be done on or before 16th May. Partial repayment TXID: https://mempool.space/tx/6e74243fa4cd03345d4816965e047dede227a565daf3dab0be7e044ef1ca6146 .

Please confirm this^^>

They actually need to do something about it otherwise they will even lose the position they are on the table. Without a proper manager I don't think they can do it at all. Stellini is a decent manager but they need someone with good experience to lead them. Today their strategy had so many holes that Newcastle found 5 goals in 20-25 minutes. They need change in strategy as it is doing them no good at all. They still have to face United and Liverpool so before these fixtures arrives I really expect them to get an experienced manager to manage the squad.
