Revealing scams deserves -1, gah

Some suggestion for this script, add Bitstamp into the list for source of bitcoin price Smiley

(wonder if bitcoin talk can one day have a stream for all new posts, get everything in realtime, flows the new data out when new replies on subbed post comes in)

I guess that's why he didn't want to use an escrow when I suggested it.
Gone, gone for good. Told everyone to cashout asap in the beginning of the incident (oh wait, who is -1 ing me on bitcointalk++)
703  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: SCAMMER TAG REQUEST - CASINOBIT.NET IS NOT PAYING OUT INVESTORS on: August 26, 2013, 05:20:53 PM
Casinobit is not a scam or a Ponzi.

Clearly there was an issue with the math using the investment feature. Actual site "profit" should be 2.7% of the total wagered, which would be 82.836BTC. The site is luckier now, making 130.54BTC (4.25%) since tracking started. However, variance should be accounted for and over the long run, that 4.25% will come down closer to 2.7%. Much of this profit was earned prior to investments.

Now, how is it that someone can invest and then withdrawal 50% more than they invested in only a few days? My guess? The potential variance was not accounted for so any house "wins" were considered "profit." OR, perhaps house "losses" were not deducted from the users bankroll? Too good to be true? Absolutely. I'm not certain why, but clearly the math was wrong and some users were able to exploit the miscalculation to take a significant amount of money from the other investors. If ~200BTC is owed to investors, the site will need nearly 8000BTC of action to expect to be able to cover that amount. IMHO, the "investment" feature needs to be removed immediately and resolved separately (potentially by proportionately paying out remaining investors with what's available or offering a cut of future profits.)

Questions to ask:
Was the investment money guaranteed?
Was the risk passed on to investors?
Is the site BR & investor BR separate?
Did risk include the possibility that a miscalculation could occur?
Is the site responsible for it's own exploitation by other "investors?"

Full disclosure: I provided a capital loan to the site, which was repaid in advance a couple months ago.
1.  Actual site "profit" should be EXPECTED TO BE 2.7% of the total wagered
2. see my scam accuse post or ask guys out there like vless or 01BTC10 why it is a ponzi, scan the whole thread at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=272037 and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=171094.0

Was the investment money guaranteed? No
Was the risk passed on to investors? Yes
Is the site BR & investor BR separate? There is no site BR, everything is on the invested amount
Did risk include the possibility that a miscalculation could occur? Yes
Is the site responsible for it's own exploitation by other "investors?" It is a function that how it works, designed to be by him. To rephrase, designed to be a system to run ponzi, as TradeFortress states, new investment is not profit for old investors, and Casinobit makes it be

What makes this a secure messaging platform?

Every other SMS replacement claimed/claims to be secure and by now every major service turned out to often not even include encryption or a bad one making it not secure at all.

I could translate into german, but not for 0.2 BTC - there is a lot of text in there and this takes for sure 1-5hours i think.

You are a reputable member of this forum so your word means a lot. Is this now a confirmed scam? No other reason to fake a address right?

This is just a surface research from Google, the above sites (also include job catalog sites referring to those site, plus I uses new data only, date filter from Google) have the same address. You cant simply stuff 10 compaines in 1 room right, even if half of them leaved, i am sure that you still can stuff them in 1 room

Business catalog site: http://hk.88db.com/Business/Consulting/ad-5349452/
Posted at 13-08-24 by amplusbs.com , will consider confirming the phone number shown 31103630 on site tomorrow (office hour)


I will take a visit, and take photos there if i have time, catching up my summer assignments

716  Economy / Lending / Re: CoinLenders :: Get bitcoin loans, and get fee rebates on your deposits! on: August 25, 2013, 04:59:33 PM
How can there be a FEE REBATE if there's no fee? A rebate is a partial or full return of what was paid. Therefore a fee rebate means it's a partial or full return of your fees. If you had no fees, how can you possibly have a partial or full return of the fees you paid?

(Note: full returns can also go over the original amount. For example, there are plenty of mail-in-rebates I've gotten with things that paid more than I spent for the original items)


Huh?
Coinlenders is a website that gives loans. You don't get paid for everyone withdrawal's fee. lol
You get rebate on the interest fees.
The US-clean version

We take fees on deposit and reviewing profiles of potential holder of our coins, sadly, the fee are too low that we are losing money Tongue
