I have a judgment against @Fortunejack for unpaid winnings exceeding 100,000 dollars. During the legal process they’ve changed company name and moved out of Curacao. Despite having dismissed almost all of my lawyer’s claims, the court still judged that Fortunejack wrongfully confiscated my winnings of bet (3), which is worth 92,4000 euros (4657*19.84). They should also pay interest rates and other fees, still yet to be determined by the court since Fortunejack is unwilling to deal with me directly.

Proof of the judgement dating from 24 of February 2025: attached in pdf:
Original judgement with my name wiped out: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t8j8dws3z4zhzsr/FortuneJack_Judgement.pdf?st=14yflz8n&dl=0

Translated judgement to English: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9edi5s5zthxf5on/translated_fortunejack_judgement.pdf?st=k9lnvlmm&dl=0

Proof of Fortunejack moving out of Curacao very recently:
Still in Curaçao as of 14 November 2024 (if not clear just search « Curacao » on the page)
https://web.archive.org/web/20241114015102/https://fortunejack.com/

Out of Curaçao as of now (check their country at the bottom of the page): www.fortunejack.com

So these are unpaid winnings since the 31st of October 2021, my lawyer hasn’t been contacted since the judgement on the 24th of last February, and they still closed my ticket when I tried contacting them about it:



This is sufficient evidence to warn anyone about dealing with these people since they’ll just move country when sued.
Upon the date of my bets and until very recently, this is what it said in their terms and conditions: « You consent to the jurisdiction of Curaçao to resolve any disputes arising out of the gambling Services or use of the Website »

That is why I am creating a flag against Fortunejack for violating a written agreement, that should stay active until they fully pay my winnings (there has been another flag before related to this, but still being unresponsive after a court judgement is just another level and justifies the new flag):

And for those who clicked on this topic, I'll give you a bonus, that I think nobody else on the internet can give you, and that could save you some cheating from online casinos (since I've got first hand information).

This post though is about my own analysis and opinion on how things could go forward from here, not a certainty.

During last year, Casinos based in Curacao (like FortuneJack) have been arguing in the court of appeal that they don't have to pay any winnings for their customers, since they think the law cannot enforce anyone to pay gambling winnings (true story, coming from "casinos"). The decision of the court of appeal has been that yes they are organisations that have to pay winnings for the games they decide to offer.

But there is one more thing: The courts are not the ones who run these casinos. So if they can't steal users funds anymore by simply closing accounts, common sense says they'll be finding new ways to cheat customers.... So watch out to play only provably fair (that you actually understand) games and live games where you can actually verify you're not being cheated.


Edit: For the people posting here, saying this is FUD, go ask FortuneJack if no legal procedure is going against them. If not, ask them if they paid me already or not (with interest for being about 2 years late on payment). I am not giving any evidence, nor am I giving any details.

Edit 15/03/25: The result of the lawsuit is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5534261.msg65132998#msg65132998
They managed to leave the country during the legal process, please visit that page and support the flag created against them.

Hello,
The question is: If I use the same seed phrase to create Master Public Key (so the one that creates all the addresses), for bitcoin, and also other coins, and I expose all Master Public Keys, is there a way for someone to guess my seed phrase, given all of the Master Public Keys I exposed that are related to the same seed phrase? (I mean possible in the current state of the technology)

As far as I understand how these things and hashes work, I strongly believe no. But asking the question, just in case I'm mistaken!

Thank you! This forum is the best when it comes to technical knowledge about crypto.

Hi,
I was looking for a quality POW crypto after ETH migration to POS, that supports smart contracts. I found one, which is ranked..... 186 on coingecko. Did I miss something? Is there any other crypto that is POW and supports smart contracts?

For ERGO, I found the team is really solid, they've been working on it since 3 years, and the project is pretty much advanced and has already some use cases. I'm also in line with their philosophy and their roadmap.

The only unfortunate thing is that the price is pumping since very recently...

In the course of me posting on this forum, I've had many deleted posts, I never questioned since I don't really care that much.

I will though be appealing the deletion of this message just to show an example of what often happens :

what benefit would it be to any of my family member to keep this account when i'm no longer around, a bitcointalk account isn't a 'property', it is just an online account on a platform for discussing Bitcoin and other whatnots.

They'll continue getting the dirty FortuneJack money. Just be honest.

This message has been posted here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5406723.msg60606086#msg60606086

@Coyster posted immediately after my first participation in that thread, so I happened to read his message. I was simply pointing out to that person, contrary to what he is saying, that his account is not "just an online account on a platform for discussing Bitcoin", but also an account that is useful for its holder to get a regular pay, in this case dirty money from FortuneJack.

Is this against forum rules? Or am I not allowed to answer some questions? Or, just maybe, criticising the scammer FortuneJack is moderated to some extent.

Message back or not, no problem, let the mods do what they want, I am just trying to understand why my message got deleted.

Hello,
There has been a very active discussion about the involvement of user Royse777 in the Bitlucy scam here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5403679.0

but the discussion has been locked by Royse777.

Unfortunately (but as expected, since scam is the bottom line of livelihood of many "trusted" members here), the scam promoter Royse777 only got 2 red tags among a ton of feedback on this matter.

Here I am reopening the subject for those interested, to see at the end how many red tags Royse777 is going to get. We do not want a locked thread to be an excuse for not giving a red tag, in case some members need to exchange more on this subject, here you have an open thread that is never going to be locked.

It's on you! May all of you who read this make the right decision!

And wish you all the best.

[the right]

If you are a sportsbets bettor on fortunejack, you might not want to place bets that are similar on this website, and avoid a mistake I've done myself. In fact, this gives them the right to cancel your bets even after the sports events are over and your bets win. In that case if you want to place additional bets on the same event you might want to place them on a different website.

As an example, I've had 4 bets on a combination of 2 events, with a possible win of 200,000 euros. Fortunejack accepted my bets, waited for all of the matches to begin/end, and when my bets won, they cancelled 3 bets and only considered the first bet as "valid", and ended up only paying 95,000 euros. You can checkout all of the details here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5368279.0
I would have been 105,000 euros richer by now if I had made those last 3 bets on another website.

The root for this behavior comes from their terms and conditions, that you can find below.



Though it's good to know how in practice fortunejack does enforce these terms:
-For them, identical bets are not necessarily bets that have the same meaning. In my case, they considered "full time result" as an identical bet to "which team wins the rest of the match"
-They will wait for the outcome of the bet before deciding to cancel: if your bet wins, they cancel. This is what exactly hides behind the meaning of the right to cancel identical bets. It means not all of identical bets are cancelled, but only some of them (the ones that win)

This topic is for you fortunejack sportsbettor: if you found this topic useful, please comment below!

On the other hand, if this is not your case, please do not post off-topic comments.

Hello,
The question is in the title. I just want to know if I can do this since I am thinking about opening an important topic as I see it.

The problem is there is some sort of group of casino promoters (more or less scammy), who throw themselves into any topic, start posting nonsense messages and merit each other on their messages. In some way, they "cloud' the topic and prevent people from having a honest conversation between people who just want to communicate between each other.

Hello,
I came across this thread by @edgycorner https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5401642.0 where he was complaining he got negative feedback for supporting a flag. The story ended him being removing his support for the flag and the negative feedback was removed.

As an example, I myself fell a victim to a scam of one of gambling websites promoted by this forum (fortunejack.com), and got negative feedback for speaking up. I then created a flag and saw there were few people supporting it, so I created a giveaway of 10 mBTC to either support/oppose the flag (right here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5399713.0), and got yet another negative feedback for that too! Is this how this feedback is supposed to work? Just asking.

Easy guys, I know some angry casino promoters (some scams, some not scams, more or less) will come here throw in their messages right and left and start meriting each other on their messages, but I'm just asking a question right.

Hello everyone,
It's been a while that I created a flag against one of the sponsors on this forum, FortuneJack, and I see that a lot of people, especially advanced ranking members, read it thoroughly yet they did neither support nor oppose my flag.

Here's the link for the 120k usd (or 105k euros at the time) scam accusation: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5368279.0

In case you're not familiar with this case, you only have to read my first post on page 1 and the posts of @FortuneJack on page 2, and my very last post on the thread (page 6)

And here's the link for my flag: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=303298;page=iflags

I am asserting that bet number 3 is a scam in the most pure form, and it is worth 95,000 euros. I am also asserting that bets 2 and 4 in an implied agreement should have never been "cancelled", and are also a scam though in some less perfect manner.

Don't be sensitive, in some way, if I might say it like this, I don't care even if 100% oppose it. So go ahead and make a ruling, I just want closure with this forum.

As a gesture of good will and to demonstrate that I really care, and not trolling, for all participants who either oppose or support the flag, I will be giving away 10mBTC (~300$ as of today) on the 1st of June to 10 members who either supported or opposed the flag. You have the same probability of winning whether you opposed or supported.

Here is how it works:
-There is going to be a list, in alphabetical order, for members (except newbies or those that FortuneJack obviously pay) who participated in this. Date limit is 30th of May 17h UTC. It is your rank on this day that is going to be taken into account.
-Using the hash of bitcoin block number 738888 (which should occur on the 31st of May): All of the numbers in the hash are going to be added, then divided by the number of participants. The remainder of the division (after what we call modulo operation) constitutes the number of the first winner, then the next 9 on the list in alphabetical order are picked. Example: hash 000000037efa8aef04ef675 and 16 participants --> We add 37 + 8 + 04 + 675 = 724 and divide by 16. The rest of the division is 4, so the winners are the 4th to 13th on the list. If the rest of division is 0, then winners are 16 and 1 to 9. If it’s 15, then winners are 15, 16 and 1 to 8.

Who can participate:
-Anyone who is a member, not newbie, does not have a FotuneJack signature or is much obviously in their pocket (a quick profile and messages check will take place. Example: @Hhampuz of course does not participate). Please make sure that your BTC address is visible either on your profile or just leave it in a comment here.
-You can't participate if you have a total trust score (adding positive and negative) of less than or equal to -2.
-In any case the list of participants  is going to be published here before bitcoin block 738888 is mined.
-If participants are 10 or less, no need for a BTC block: The 10 mBTC prize is going to be simply divided among them.
-If, among winners, no BTC address is communicated here or on profile by the time list of winners is created, then the next on the list are immediately chosen.
-People who already submitted a ruling on this before the giveaway also participate

It'll be fun. Let's see what happens.

If a trusted member (only Senior or more) wants to do the job of the lottery + distribution that would help, please manifest so that I can send you 13.1 mBTC (cauz +3mBTC for your help + 0.1 for transaction fees). You'll also though have to do the job of creating the list and picking up and paying the winners:) If any member is appointed as an escrow I will be editing this post and declaring it. If any member is selected he'll be sent the money at most by next Wednesday May 25th. But don't worry! I won't be interfering with your work, nor arguing with you if you were to oppose or support my flag. Just enjoy the job:)

I will most likely not be replying to the posts here since I replied to almost every single argument about this, but your participation is much appreciated.

Thank you thank you:) I know I am already much better in providing a provably fair game than FortuneJack’s “probably” fair games looool (and this is my first time I organise a game!)


With my best regards

Alright. I will be following the advice of many senior members here, and I will create a scam accusation. It's an awful way to deal with a big win. I will be posting screenshots of my bet history.

Edit: up to this day, on the 8th of may 2022, I am still unpaid.

All screenshots here are per time order. I do not have to talk a lot. Just look at the screenshots and see how 120,000 dollars disappeared from my account. See how the bets went from pending to win to "cancelled"!!!! See how my bet history goes from I can see all bets with all details, now I can see there are bets with amounts but details can't be shown (!) to I have no bet history!!!!

In order for you to not be confused because there are multiple bets, the 4 disputed bets are the ones placed at 21:19, 21:20, 21:22 and 21:24. Right on the left of these times you see a blue clock icon which means bets are awaiting result. Then you see a green sign which means bets have won (the red X means they lost). And lastly the orange dash means bets were cancelled. The total win amounts to 200,000 euros, the only winning bet paid was the one placed at 21:19 amounting to 95,000 euros, and the 3 others were "cancelled".

If you think something I said doesn't add up, please do not hesitate to ask for additional proof, I will happily be giving that to you.

Edit: For those of you who are lost in the evidence posted below, I have added the bet history in writing just below the screenshots. I have also took away some unnecessary screenshots and kept only the essentials.






















To illustrate the photos:

For the following I will call:
Match A: Heidenheim vs Schalke, a match that started on the 29th of october at 20h30, and that resulted in a win for Heidenheim 1-0, with a goal scored at minute 89
Match B: PSG vs Lille, a match that started on the 29th of october at 23h00, and that resulted in a score of 0-1 for Lille at half-time (and 2-1 for PSG at full time, on which I had other bets that lost and that I don't mention here)

All 4 bets were placed on the 29th of october 2021. Each bet placed was a combination of 2 events, so the bet odds were a multiplier of the odds for each event:

1-Bet of 20 XMR (~4750 euros) placed at 21h19, with odds of 20.48 on:
Match A: Heidenheim wins for "full time result" (odds of 3.2)
and
Match B: Lille wins for "first half result" (odds of 6.4)

2-Bet of 1.96 XMR (~475 euros) placed at 21h20, with odds of 20.48 on:
Match A: Heidenheim wins for "full time result" (odds of 3.2)
and
Match B: Lille wins for "first half result" (odds of 6.4)

3-Bet of 20 XMR (~4750 euros) placed at 21h22, with odds of 19.84 on:
Match A: Heidenheim wins for "which team wins the rest of the match" (odds of 3.2)
and
Match B: Lille wins for "first half result" (odds of 6.2)

4-Bet of 2.61 XMR (~500 euros) placed at 21h24, with odds of 20.42 on:
Match A: Heidenheim wins for "which team wins the rest of the match"
and
Match B: Lille wins for "first half result"


FortuneJack waited for the outcome of the bets then cancelled bets 2,3 and 4 claiming they were identical to bet 1.

Hello,
I was really excited when I won a combination of 2 sportsbets in football (PSG-LILLE and some other German match that I forgot). I placed 2 big bets of 20 XMR each on correlated events from these 2 matches (because the system wouldn't let me bet it all on one event, that's because the max win per bet is 100,000 euros equivalent), for a total possible win of approximately 20 times those 2 amounts. And boom, I won! I see on my account 899 XMR. Pretty amazing huh? Not yet.

After a while I see all of a sudden my account at 430 XMR. Whaaaaaaat??? I contact the support she tells me that she sees I placed bets after my win. Not even close. My bet history shows I did not. The reality of the matter is, one of those bets have passed from the winning status to some weird status, neither won or lost, with some orange line besides them (plus some 2 or 3 very small bets of 1 XMR each). Then all of a sudden my bet history disappears. Now I've screen recorded all of my bets as I always do with such amounts. Am I allowed to win or what?

Has anyone has had any problems with this casino before? The chat says they will contact me later. But this is starting to become seriously inconvenient.

Plus I've had a problem before with their live dealer hitting my 20 in blackjack (yes, because they had some issues with their buttons) and they refused to refund me the equivalent of 20,000 dollars because of that. Now I saw they had pretty good Sportsbet promotions so I said why not Sportsbet. But now this is seriously starting to get ridiculous.

It's all in the title... He'll just be able to retire the next day lol. Of course when I say KuCoin so nobody would know.

Hello,
The question is in the title. I know I can't do it on electrum, maybe on a Command Line Interface? It looks like you need 6 confirmations to confirm transaction...
Thank you very much for those who know!!

Hello,
Thank you very much for anybody who could answer this clearly, because online it's not that clear! If I click on limit, I only sell at the exact current price right?

Hi,
I am not willing to trade on a daily basis, but I know for example about the 2017 crash.
Is there a reputable book, written by a reputable author, on how to know when to sell? It's like if a crypto goes 50x in one year there is a chance at some point that there will be a crash. I need to know APPROXIMATELY when I should sell.

Thank you!

Hello,
I've been searching the web and cannot find anything about this. Can I cancel (I mean replace) a litecoin transaction with another with higher fees using electrum before the 6 confirmations occur?

Thank you for anybody who knows and willing to share!

Hi,
I just wanted to know if you could cancel a BTC transaction after one confirmation (like sending it to yourself with a much higher fee?) Thank you!

I strongly believe exchanges are playing a negative role in the space, mainly because of price manipulation. And if -like in any society- evil doers are not going to pay a heavy price, we all stand a lesser chance to succeed in our investment. There should not be a possibility for someone to short or long a crypto, sell or buy, unless he really holds it!
I watched this debate between Peter Schiff (Gold bug) and Anthony Pompliano (Bitcoin bug), a rare piece of what you call a high quality debate that you could barely watch these days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wigz8z6Vm3U

In this debate, Peter Schiff said yes his company lists Bitcoin as a payment option but they don't accept it themselves, they have instead a payment provider called Bybit that pays them in dollars. Which makes Bitcoin of course more expensive to pay with since you now have a middle man.

And I think he's right in not accepting Bitcoin. Exchanges would pump the hell out of Bitcoin, dump all the bitcoins they could possibly have to buy gold and then let the market return to its normal place again.... This of course plays against Bitcoin mass adoption.

The page takes us to the GitHub repository where we can download the zip file. Don't we need to verify signature with PGP? For bitaddress.org we have the signature, but for wallet generator.net we don't, neither did I find that for plenty of other websites, that I find trustworthy by the way since they were mentioned in popular places. But no signatures to verify their downloads.

Any idea?
