Indeed rounding seems to happen on mobile devices. Probably a tiny bug.
Unfortunatelly, if the amount is 0.0005 it will round to 0.001 - which is an error of +100%.
I think things get rounded to 4 digits. So MJ's example was probably "0.0025xxxx and it showed as 0.0030xxxx"



However, the full (real) amount can still be seen on the bottom of the page.

There is also a "Helpful Resources" part in my coldkey-scam summary: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3315347.msg61612749#msg61612749
Including links to wallet-apps that provide address observation.


I'd recommend switching to chainz. With walletexplorer, sometimes (rarely) it is unable to find the full address by firstbits - MJ recommended chainz to me and it works perfectly.
Also, a big plus: you can find firstbits for almost any shitaltcoin, too.

Mempool.space is new to me for firstbits but seems to be working great for Bitcoin.

Hi. Nope. NO message from you anywhere to be seen.

Ah I see, 84 makes sense then.

Lot 1: 0.125
Lot 3: 0.01

All I can say is, it was very interesting to see the different ways people that promoted FTX dealt with its implosion a few months back. It is as you would expect: The whole spectrum from not-even-mentioning a thing to their subscribers, via blaming FTX and SBF but instantly continuing with other promotions to the very rare "I will not promote any CEX from now on" reaction.
That being said, yes, if you promote something and create any kind of revenue from it, you have at least the responsibility to check if it is not an OBVIOUS scam / ponzi etc. And as soon as you get any info that things could be shady it is also your responsibility to immediately stop the promotion and inform your viewers/listeners etc.

If you do your due dilligence before accepting a promo-partner you'd probably need to rule out 95%+ of potential partners in crypto space from the start on.
You will probably lose some of the most lucrative deals. Which is why too many influencers and youtubers don't do exactly that.

I heard a handful of *very* bad stories from people in crypto space that I trust regarding Hit-BTC. Beware!

Quick info:  I updated and moved my scam-summary: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3315347.msg61612749#msg61612749
I'll try to update / edit as good as possible when new / more things come to light. Despite that will probably try to be a littles less involved in the topic for now - it was kinda soul-draining over the last few days. (and I wasn't even close to Yogg and didn't own too many ck cards).

Jfyi: I updated and moved my scam-summary: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3315347.msg61612749#msg61612749

PS: I discovered one more of my CK cards was not funded from the start on (also a history 2020-2 card).

Coldkey Scam Reference



NOTE: THIS IS MY ATTEMPT TO BRING SOME STRUCTURE INTO THE CHAOS CAUSED BY YOGG AND HIS SWEEP-SCAM.
THIS POST IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION but mostly done for now

- GENERAL: More info on the timeline of swept funds by LoyceV

*¹: Please note, all this data was never in one place. People giving loans were not aware that other loans were already given but not paid back to Yogg.
The unfunded cards were never noticed. Yogg time and time again made excuses for deliver-delays. The website shutdown was supposed to only last a short time.
Only after the sweeping of funds happend on Jan 12, people started bringing the pieces together, slowly uncovering the full extend of the situation.



Confirmed Losses
a) List of affected addresses:
- Silver Halving Coldkeys swept: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/c073634c862353b7a90303d52806defba55cac63a86762213fcb949b74a5573b
- Raffle Funds Stolen: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/bc1qr88xt0jurmpvv93l66zquk5srkqntpva9ug5m4
- Some (?) Gold Halving Coldkeys swept: Reference 1 & Reference 2

b) List of Unfunded Coldkey Cards*²:
- some historic RYR cards
- History 2021-03 #15
- 1x History 3 card set: 2021.2
- History 2020-2 #31
- CK history Oct 2019 #8
- 4 cards [?] (more info needed to confirm)
- more tba ?

*²: some cards' funding had to be triggered via the website - which is now unavailable. - I believe that some cards were never funded BEFORE this new web-funding-mechanism was implemented.
However, since the webpage coldkey.eu is now unavailable, this part is at least on the same level of a SCAM as Titan mint (no access for 2FA coins).

c) Other Losses:
- loans that should have been returned long time ago (to Mopar, Polymerbit, Agrawas, DarkStar, Becassine and possibly others) - Ref 1, Ref 2, Ref 3: loan address
- 1 year+ uncompleted orders of coldkeys
- almost complete loss for all PREMIUMS paid for coldkeys / collectible value is in the bin now
- more tba ?

Important Info
- all coldkeys' private keys are potentially compromised -> It is strongly recommended that you sweep your coins into a secure wallet that only you can access
-> To do so you can use a veriety of wallets, for example: Mycelium, Coinomi (for smartphones), Electrum (desktop), Balletwallet and more


Personal observations
Despite the monetary losses including loans, raffle-funds, sweeped cards, never-funded-cards and the huge amount of premiums that coldkey-collectors suffered from, this event has left some scars.
Yogg was once regarded as a highly trusted, friendly, tech-savy, innovative maker and innovator in the collectible space. His exit scam came as shock to many in the collectible community and especially those once close to him.


tldr: Overview of all info known so far regarding the exit-scam performed by Yogg on his Coldkey project.

Thanks to everyone sending me dms with prove of ownership.
Please continue to do so. I will not reply until I start the shipping process. This is planned for end of next week - waiting for some tiny prints I ordered to arrive by then.

Originally I had intended to give out my already-existing A4-prints. I will do that but also add some tiny thing (see first sketch in OP) on top.

I can only say what I experienced about 3 months ago. Things are changing very quickly, so take it with a grain of "probably already different".
- As you cannot directly influence the composition of these images (at least with MJ) but only indirectly by tweeking some parameters and adjusting your prompt, it usually took between 5 - 25 tries (renders) to come close to what I had in mind. Sometimes it also seemed impossible to really get there
- Rendertimes depend a lot on activity, servers were often overwhelmed so you would wait between maybe 15 seconds to 10 minutes just for one image
- it's a lot of trial and error but also needs some knowledge on advanced parameters to get to the desired result. Back then there were already some decent guides and a good discussion forum, so you should be able to find a lot
- imho postwork (in PS, or Gimp etc) is necessary almost always if you want to use these images in a professional context
- don't expect to get too much done with the free version, 25 renders are gone in no-time
- have fun

First response was:
Buy low, sell high dont't sell at all (aka hodl).

There is more to it however:
- Don't chase quick gainzzz. 99% of projects and coins etc are vaporware, scam, total bs or just unecessary.
- Have a "strategy" that you stick to. In this way, you can and should resort back to it when you are tempted to make a quick, possibly irrational decision. Just generally, unless part of your strategy (for example "buy if below xyz $") don't make any quick decisions at all.
- Don't try to be a trader (unless you enjoy paying rent for the 0.x% of actually successful traders out there) - have a good doller-cost-average buying strategy over a longer period of time. You can slightly adjust whenever there are dips - but neither panic-buy or panic-sell. It all comes back to my previous point.
- Have at least a real job or better yet several sources of income and don't put everything on one card/coin. Only put a tiny percentage of your earnings into crypto. Diversify.
- Be patient and use your brain. FOMO and FUD should be identified quickly and avoided.

Oh so nice, thanks Smoothie for organizing this.
Another bright light cutting through some temporary darkness. Hope this doesn't go unnoticed among all the recent ck mess.

Congrats to all winners and big props to each participant, too. Happy to see Helen Yu and Cryptogreatdane among the winners.  

So it is a maker or just a collector you purchased your item(s) from?
If it's actually several months you could try and ask some forum members that are well connected to some makers and many collectors to try and reach the them directly for you (via other channels).

Sucks to be in such a position but hope it'll be rectified soon.

Personally I think depending on the timeline of messages and missing response you can also call them out here. If it's a single mistake - things happen and it will be sorted out.
But if others are having similar issues but until now decided to keep silent it would help ring some bells early on.

Just wanna jump in real quick and say this a very interesting, important and maybe fruitful-for-all-of-us discussion to have.
A ton of (partly conflicting) thoughts on this topic have been swirling around my head since two days ago.

Pretty busy for the rest of the weekend, so I'll probably come back here during next week and try to write it all down.
Short version: DIY-coins/products should receive more focus and it would be important to time-and-time again explain (especially to new people in the collectible space) the potential dangers of maker-funded items.
But also, there are merits of pre-funded collectibles and even though I thought so at first, I don't think demand for them will ever seize to exist for a few reasons (will explain later).
Some improvements of transparency are necessary for any reputable project in the future creating funded items, though.

Thanks!
Wow, such a feature would be DOPE.
Still, I never wanna face such an alarm. Ever.
