Exact math, duffles ... but the contract is 5 Years, not only 356 Days. (?) So long all my dayly payouts were in time.
best regards
D'oh. What a stupid mistake to make ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif)

Hey peeps, I've just received my 49th payment from BCS and thought I'd share the chart I use to keep track of earnings: (Disclosure: clicking the chart will take you to BCS using my referral link ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi92.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fl21%2Fmattduffin%2Fchart_zps8543393f.png&t=664&c=RwCDIdkrO0BSYw) It all looks pretty healthy. Payouts only get new labels if the amount changed from last time. So you can see that there are 11, 13, 9, etc. days with the same amount. The percentage payback line jumps occasionally because BCS sometimes pays out twice in the same day and then not at all on other days. 47% payback after 49 days of a 365 day contract seems pretty good to me, although it won't be linear due to payout amounts decreasing. You can verify this at https://blockchain.info/address/17a5jMgVGXVpuGfvVbDFUppL4jwt5WpRXt?offset=0&filter=2 (ignore the payments from Bit-investors, that was me being taken in by silvercane's scam!).

How did you manage to work out it's silvercane? Plenty of obvious public tells * manually updated website, format * same format for BTC depositing, including the fixed address and QR code part "Your investment will be added to the active investments page at 12pm UTC Standard Time and paid according to the date you invested, and which plan you invested in" * same use of forwarding to central blockchain.info address, using Blockchain.info notes * same web host (GoDaddy), same SSL cert (Starfield) There's also direct evidence that incriminates the operator of Bitcompound is silvercane, however I'm not going to reveal that so I can continue to alert about his future HYIPs ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Thanks for investing (haha) your time looking out for things like this. I wish I'd seen your non-moderated warning post before sending anything to BitInvestors.

Yo. Anyone else noticed what's on the bit-investors.com site now? Anyone happen to have a spare multi-terahash miner they can repurpose to getting silvercane's private key? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----

-----END PGP MESSAGE----- What is this? It's what's currently on what was the bit-investors website. You know how you can sign a message using the private key of an address you own? E.g. 'hello' signed with the address in my signature is 'G2Nw/iBBh36UVXr+FP4+EthV/1I8ulDiOSI+M0oSrsZ94RJKq5ZqgVWT2GKLGnsIW656z/xJi5bVZP9Y8YR+bl8=', which proves that I own the address and that I signed the message. Well, say I wanted to send you an encrypted message. You send me your PGP public key. I then encrypt my message with your key and send it however I want. It (theoretically, assuming no security flaws) should be broadcastable to the world, yet only you with your private key can read my secret message. The question is, who is the message for?

Heh. Looks like my negative feedback pushed him into the red: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi92.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fl21%2Fmattduffin%2Fnegative_zps202f8a81.jpg&t=664&c=NJUjmhMENyV2VA) Not that it matters because: - He won't use silvercane again
- He'll just create another username
- It's too late for negative trust to matter
but it still feels good seeing it ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Interesting that the website & social media profiles are still up; they're usually the first to disappear. Since you are not in the default trust list, your trust feedback is "untrusted" to most of the people here and so his trust score is still 0 for most of us. For details, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=211858.0 ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Ah sorry, I'm still new to this forum ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . Thanks for the link.

Duffles, a dox is when you get somebody to track down a person over the internet and get their tue identity. It has worked before in the case of btc-arbs, another ponzi where the owner was caught so he had to pay back all the btc.
So it's a digital Dog The Bounty Hunter ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ... legality? When I produced code for him to automate the countdown clock, he said that his timezone was AEST - Australian Eastern. So it'd have to be someone who can operate with Australian ISPs, etc. Does the forum team release IP addresses in these cases then?

Get a dox on him. Worked for btc-arbs
Ok, I've looked this up on Urban Dictionary ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I'd have no objections if somebody wanted to do this, but I would stress that the name he used in the contract is my first encounter with that name; it could be fake for all I know. If I were to have gone ahead with the contract, I would've insisted on exchange of government-issued IDs, but it didn't get that far.

Hey, Thanks for your reply. I can confirm I'm still experiencing the error. I removed and reinstalled the extension to make sure I had a fresh version. I've attached three screenshots: 1) the main Acacia screen showing the error message 2) the JSON string of the error message printed in the extension flyout 3) the function I tracked down that is returning the error I hope this helps you to find and fix the error. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi92.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fl21%2Fmattduffin%2Facacia1_zpsdd49019c.jpg&t=664&c=XaF7CnnTJkfXPA) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi92.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fl21%2Fmattduffin%2Facacia2_zps1c02d7ac.jpg&t=664&c=pl5SUnqTu_lbsQ) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi92.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fl21%2Fmattduffin%2Facacia3_zps640b6228.jpg&t=664&c=4DCJPvMoh7PcOg)

Here's my experience: - Invested ฿4.988
- Purchased 1.72TH/s over five years
- Had consistent daily payouts with no gaps
- 15 payouts received
- ฿0.77675518 paid back
- 15.57247755% paid back over 15 days
- Average return >1% per day
- Break even 100 days
- 1725 days remaining on contract after break even
- Step 3... profit!
This is BCS posting themselves. I can smell it. 100 days BE? Dude, you cannot buy 1.7 TH/s without being aware of difficulty. Nope. Not that I can think of a method of proving that to you.

Hi AcaciaTrading, I've downloaded the bot and managed to get it running inside Chrome. There aren't any template strategies listed. Is this intentional that we have to create our own from scratch? There is an error message in the program (below) so I was wondering whether templates were missing due to the error. Please let me know. "Success":"0","ErrorCode":6,"Error":"Failed to fetch settings"}
