He's never online to confirm anybody. Many members seemingly spent all week re-quoting their sign-up posts in attempt to get noticed and that still doesn't explain all the other users who didn't get the right amount.

Hanging Garden - Will You Share This Ending With Me

Eerie video. It's like a mini low-budget horror movie. 

It doesn't say that you might not get paid anything because the op is too busy to check or confirm people's sign-ups anywhere. I don't think it's harsh at all especially when he seems to respond to next to zero messages or forum queries, but I'm surprised you're making excuses for him. I don't believe he has any intention to scam or not pay people what they are owed or whatever but he really needs to get on top of things because it will damage his company's reputation if he doesn't. 

Nah, the most logical explanation is that he didn't calculate what he should be paying people right, but if you're ok with telling yourself it's for bad posts then that's fine for you, but not for everyone else who feels they've been cheated. And how many posts did you make that wern't 'quality/constructive/on-topic/contributing' exactly?

And the scam accusation doesn't require his response, but it might force him to stop being incompetent or ignoring people when the reputation of his business is being tarnished by accusations of scams/non-payment.

I think you're just assuming that it's for bad posts or he's just using it as an excuse. I suspect he just didn't add or count the posts properly. He said to one user the posts will be carried over to the next period which he didn't get paid for and they never were. There are still several people from what I can gather who didn't get what they were owed. One user has opened a scam accusation thread because he apparently didn't get anything and not a single message was answerd.

It's probably just some picture he found on the internet. Unless he time/user-stamps the pictures properly then it's bullshit. But still, even doing that doesn't prove anything. There was a user here a while ago pretending to be a girl and had time/name-stamped pictures with even bitcointalk forum visible on the computer in the background but it was just a guy getting a girl to take the pictures so he could try scam/beg some cash.

Snr accounts don't seem to go for more than 0.4 unless they're really high activity and well on their way to becoming Hero Members, but the account he's selling isn't even a Snr yet. There's plenty of competition with account sellers now so if you want to sell it quickly you'll have to undercut competition. I'm sure we'll see more and more accounts being sold as time goes on so the price will probably get lower and lower as well.

They don't and can't check all the millions of ads they put up. You or I could pay to put a similar one there. They only care about the money but will remove it if it's a phishing site. And if you have 2-factor set up and a second password on your account then your funds are pretty safe. Keep a back up of your wallet offline and a blockchain.info wallet could be safer than a desktop one for you.

What happened with Howzar was unfortunate and probably a rare occurrence. If money was held in another escrow as bitcoininformation suggested then the funds could've still been released to whoever. If he is indeed struggling then he should certainly employ someone else to look after the deals whether from within his own company or these forums. Running a shoddy advertising campaign is only going to have a counter-productive and negative impact on your business so it's worth doing it right. Run a flawless campaign where all your users are happy and that's great for business.

Exactly. He always disappears over the weekend and goes many days without even answering people's queries or confirming users. Then he comes back, most people get payouts even though many are not what they're supposed to be, and people still stick with him. Bizarre. I don't see how people can put faith in that system for an entire month when there's been problems every single week. I think he's just struggling with it himself. He should've took the help bitcoininformation offered.

Of course he's a guy. Do women really lurk around on these forums and come out with the kind of crappy insults he does? Read his first posts. He's just a failed scammer and is now desperately trying to beg some little amount of btc that he can. It's too obvious when users go out of their way to make sure everybody knows they're a girl (having 'girl' in the username is a big giveaway).


It's good that you can laugh about it now and have come to terms with your sexuality  .

I'd avoid UpDown.bit. Many people still seem to have not got what they were owed and the new limits now make it less appealing, not to mention you've got to wait a month now wondering what money you're actually going to get at the end of it.

If you had 2-factor set up this wouldn't've happened. I prefer to get a code texted to my phone. If you have a keylogger or your password is the sane as your email then email 2-factor is probably useless. Maybe bc.info should include three factor though. I would use that if available.

I and others have suggested mods being able to comment on reports before. It would be a good idea and very helpful to all involved. Number of incorrect reports would then surely decrease rapidly.

I think the opposite. Think he was trying to roll over 90 so 10% chance to win.

Thanks for the promo.

You cannot touch god but he exists... Haha just kidding.


Exactly. If anyone has a problem understanding that Bitcoin exists tell them the money in their account doesn't either. And neither do those MP3s on your hardrive. They exist and they have worth.

You should have the site bookmarked and always double check when you're clicking on links from google. Did you have 2-factor set up?

Troll / scammer account with some dude who has gender identity issues and likes to pretend he's a girl on the Internet for male affection and attention.

Every Tuesday. Next one is this coming Tuesday. I think hardly anyone understands the activity system 100% haha.
