Is there worldwide always only one office in bigger places?
I think like in the street I have the office, where there are about 6-7 offices (bigger house) there are everywhere more than 100 or even more offices.

I will take the picture of the entrance and there are more tables.
 
I still didn't get any notice that I have scam someone and I will not get any.

Free or paid domains is the same.

So people if you don't have any proof don't tell lays.

Show me the pictures then Smiley
 * Your office
 * The products you are selling

Looking forward to a reply in english

Thanks for that long winded speech guruvan.

I completely agree with what you have said.

There's also some interesting notes to be taken. I'm fully aware of what needs to be achieved in "mixing" coins.

Quote
Finally, you really have to ask yourself: "Am I even achieving what I thought I was by mixing my coins, and did I even need to do that in the first place?"

Most of the time, most people do not have the experience with fiat money systems or bitcoin to successfully obfuscate the source of funds. While the mixing service may work effectively enough, the tracks on either side of the mixing service are usually going to expose you. This means that all that's really been achieved is exposing the mixing service's addresses.

Even if both sides of the transaction (in/out) are obvious, eg. funds came from this exchange and went out from this exchange, if the coins are mixed in between you cannot link the two transactions meaning they could have come from anywhere. So even if the original transaction is exposed there is no way to link it to the transaction out of the network. This is just my view anyway.

I really don't have time to reply to everything you have said  Sad

From now on I will be setting up my own anonymous VPS with a headless Bitcoin client running and use those addresses, at least then I have access to the private keys.

Dear user. Hotwallet will be shut down on January 1st, 2013. It was a nice experiment but I've decided to take the skills I have learned in creating hotwallet and apply them in another direction. Do not create a new account or send money here unless it's for short-term use. Thank you for using hotwallet. If you have any issues please e-mail usagi@tsukino.ca. Thanks and bye!

No offense intended, but I have emails from a googlegroup from right when Torwallet was announced. Seemed to everyone on that list though it was the most likely new way to lose your coins.

A successful con will run clean for a while to maximize return on the investment for the scam. With a service like torwallet, you run it until you start to see the early adopter wave start to thin out, and bail right before the majority of them do. (a few months is about right) and hit it at just below the peak of deposits.

Hi Guruvan,

Would be nice to see the link for this googlegroup ?

The only way to really find out if it is a scam or not is to use the service, which many of us did, Is it not ok to assume that there are good people that create quality services out there ? Should we always instantly think that something is a scam.... it's not within our nature.

It was a very successful con... shame that  Smiley

Tweaked, thanks for the curl commands you posted earlier.  I didn't know the site had a functioning API.  I have been spamming them to send me back my coins the past few days.  I guess this is only thing we can do at this point.  From how the TORwallet representative spoke, it seemed the site was ran by multiple people (say 2 or 3).  If this is true, I wonder if only 1 person actually had possession of the coins at any given time, or if it was split equally with some sort of "checks and balances" in place?  If one of them decided to take off with the majority of the coins the service bounced around, you would think the other developers would have called foul to the community to let its users know the site went rogue.  Not a single person (besides the site's users) have come forward claiming to know why the site is "malfunctioning" (AKA stealing).  This makes me think TORwallet was run by one individual who manipulated the image of their mixing service to look more trustworthy.  This is all speculation and meaningless, but I'm just trying to contribute to the investigation and at least get the word out to steer clear of the site.  Mods, for fucks sake, please tag the user as a scammer.

No problem SnafuKazoo they don't really have a working API but you can still send HTTP posts to the site. I'm still getting the "Hot wallet" message and I have been posting now since the service went down.

I'm not sure what sort of structure TORWallet had internally.  The thing that gets me about the "Hot wallet" message is the fact that the actual hot wallet cannot be exhausted due to the coins that users deposit to the site, so I think the message is just bullshit.


well...c'mon now...didn't you see this one coming 100 clicks away?

Torwallet indeed. Next, we'll just call it "torsiphon.bit" and watch them all toss their coin at it.

i saw one user on irc using sr for a wallet. Seems way betta to me. You know they have a vested interest in keeping their wallet secure and available (and not stealing it themselves) they make much more running sr. Cheesy

Guruvan, Did we see this coming ? No TORWallet operated perfectly for many months, coins where deposited and withdrawn without issues, plus they had many reviews on blog sites and on this forum. There was nothing untoward about the way the service was run just because it is behind TOR doesn't mean it is going to be a scam.

SR can be used as a wallet but that is not it's intended purpose.


To be honest I am now in serious doubt about this community if there are this many users stating that TORWallet is a scam and even the original topic has users reporting it's a scam, and still the admins/mods have not tagged the user as "scammer" plus the original topic is still bringing new users to there service.

Seriously what is the point of standing there and going, "c'mon guys this was always going to happen"??

Hi Tower23,

Your Bitcoin receive address is your Bitcoin address where funds will go.

To get an address download the Bitcoin client or create a wallet online

Bitcoin Client: http://bitcoin.org/
Online Wallet: https://blockchain.info/wallet/

You will need to ask coinworker about using different ip addresses, or look at there terms and conditions.

Maybe the admins are the ones behind it.

Doubt that but at this stage there pretty much enabling and promoting TORWallet as a legitimate service...
12  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: TORWallet - Scammer on: September 24, 2012, 11:55:09 PM
Are there actually any admins or moderators on this forum.

I have PM'd Admins and started this topic yet still TORWallet is not marked as a "Scammer"

The original topic is the 3rd result on Google when searching for TORWallet. If there is anything the community can do it is destroy the reputation of TORWallet in order to protect future users. The fact that they are still running and accepting coins means they are milking it for all it is worth.

BTW, I followed the rest of the coins, after they merged into a larger wallet it seams that the pattern continues to merge into wallets with 2 transactions at a time, a small and big transfer.  I followed the big transfer which continued the pattern (all being spent of course) until it split by almost half into smaller amounts then all of a sudden to http://blockchain.info/address/1BLitZGYgERqp1NUgnHLBSfEng6QmZaWKe which has 804 transactions, of course this could have just been someone else who used the service as I'm not sure how they actually mix the coins because I don't see where my coins went to a larger wallet with just a balance... I have a feeling they spent my coins or are using other people's money to gamble and they lost the bitcoins causing a shortage.

I'm seeing a pattern in the users that have emailed the link to TORWallet seem to be the ones that have lost there coins straight away.

What was your original coin address (Not the TORWallet url)?

Sorry just checked and you posted that a couple of posts back Smiley

BTC200 is a lot to lose!! I have only got around BTC100 tied up in TORWallet.

My coins still haven't moved from there original addresses.

Where's the scammer tag? last active over a week ago??!!

I think it's fair that if we don't hear back from them by Friday, they get one. Anyone disagree?

pm maged or open a thread in scam accusations if you want him a scammer tag.
otherwise it wont happen

The moderators must be doing a good job... Huh

TORWallet has not been allowing people to withdraw from there wallets for over one week with multiple users reporting the following messages when attempting to access or send bitcoins from there wallet.

Code:
"Hot wallet exhausted. Please wait while we move coins in from our offline wallet."

Code:
"Database error!"

Same happened to me.  I sent them a money order, and they keep making excuses.  I'm starting to suspect I'm never going to get my money back.

The operator's identity is publicly known (see whois for getbitcoin.com domain) and is based in the U.S. (GetBitcoin LLC is registered entity in the State of Delaware - File# 4997818).

Hopefully, if they are winding down or whatever the situation is they'll either deliver or refund in full.

Delaware is commonly used to create "fake" companies due to there lack of company transparency laws.

Mr. Coinman what was your original coin address?

Did you email TORWallet your link?

Thanks

Finally I can post in this section!!  Grin

I thought everyone should know that I have setup a site dedicated to keeping everyone updated with the current status of TORWallet

http://torwalletstatus.com/

Basically the back-end is just a bash script running a constant post to https://torwallet.com and http://nci2szjrwjqw2zbi.onion.
Attempting to send coins out from a wallet. The status site will be updated if there is any change that affects the sending of bitcoins out of TORWallet.

Code:
while :
do
curl --insecure -A "Give Me My Coins Back" -d "addr=1SexvYkJNPmDhkaxn5QDzfMEPtgu9p6cr&amt=1&pass=PASSWORD" "https://torwallet.net/send/c7cc9c381827e71e64c601716041d121c02ef556dfcf039fb6f90783a911ddb8 "
sleep 10
done
