1  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scammed by Brawker.com $800 Server Compromised on: January 16, 2015, 10:07:47 AM
Here's something we can both agree on:

- There was an issue with the spender's signature
- You contacted us on the 14/01 (two days ago, not five) because there was an error (Invalid signatures) displayed on the page.
- We spent some time trying to understand why the spender's signature is wrong, because it's the first time it happens on more than 1500 multisig transactions, and we don't want that to happen again
- You were contacted with new information to use your keys (old password because you changed it in the process, that's true, I can explain why if you want to, but that's some crypto stuff, the private keys are encrypted with your password)
- The bitcoins have been released 22 minutes after you follow our instructions

End of the story on my end.

Thank you for your time,
Gabriel

To be more accurate, the bitcoins have been sent to him 22 minutes after he followed the instructions sent from the support (which were to sign the transaction by typing his password).

There is nothing related to this post, the bitcoins have been released before I see the post.

The bitcoins have been released as soon as you answered to our support request.



Brawker do not disclose this information. I don't know any of the details because they won't give any. Everything operates behind closed doors at Brawker which is how it's easy for them to commit fraud.

This is 100% false. Everything is open and happens on the blockchain. From the beginning, you were able to see that your funds were being held in escrow, and didn't move.
We're not even able to access the funds without your help. This is why we needed you to sign the transaction before releasing the funds. You got the bitcoins as soon as you signed the transaction.

As a proof that we never got your bitcoins, here is the transaction address, with only the deposit and the release: https://blockchain.info/address/3QLLTb7ats3rjvmZDKxmjQ1Yk8W9W51xyv

Hello,

Brawker developer here.

The service is not compromised.

You have not been scammed, we're still sending you emails, and you're not responding. For some reason, the signature provided by the other person didn't work. Not a big deal though, we're using 2-of-3 multisignature scripts, and there is still your key and ours.

For the record, we only hold one key, and it's impossible for us to get your escrowed bitcoins.

I asked you to sign the transaction, but you changed your password. I got your old encrypted password from a backup, and you signed the transaction 22 minutes ago. I sent the money as soon as you signed the transaction.

Your money has been sent as soon as you signed the transaction: https://blockchain.info/address/3QLLTb7ats3rjvmZDKxmjQ1Yk8W9W51xyv

Please edit your post.

Thanks,
Gabriel

Someone made this video: "Living on Bitcoin - Paid my rent and phone bill!". He's comparing a few services, including Brawker
