I have been contacted by a friend, he has proof that the netzwerg account that has been used for shady things. I told him to contact a mod.

Good, please do that or if you ask him if he can post any information here in the thread it would be better.

Also mods please check this persons IP with the one of TradeFortress or DiamondCardz

And no input from a moderator yet?

TradeFortress has now accused me of being an alt of scotaloo Sad this is very unfair, this is obviously untrue. This is my only account.

Report this to a mod and they can publically confirm.

TF, please be more transparant. Such as it is, your trust rating isn't very valuable.

Yes, thats why he told DiamondCardz to post the trust too, read the pms DiamondCardz blindly agreed without even checking for themselves and never even mentioned scotaloo. He should not have 'trusted' feedback either.

I cannot report it because it happened off site.

If you use IRC without SSL (most do) he can see your IP/ISP by clicking your Name.

I had a feeling, I knew something was wrong when I visited that site and it told me tor was not allowed, lucky for me I used a proxy to connect.

Now what about the scammed wallet, can you explain this please? lots of people have been pming me about TradeFortress, he hasn't asked for any money, but I feel like I should create a scam accusation against him, he seems very dishonest and refuses to remove the trust.

the IP or the Wallet Thing ?

Um... both if possible...
7  Other / Meta / Re: I need a moderator please I have received fake feedback from TradeFortress on: July 14, 2013, 12:47:28 PM
He's trying to collect IP's
and he hope's the one who scammed his Wallet, made a mistake somewhere.

Can you elaborate on this please? you are free to contact me via pm if you want privacy.

I would like to mention that I have recevied pms from other members saying that TradeFortress does things like this all the time, one member in particular claimed he owns multiple accounts...

I have asked for their permission to these pms but they said no, but mods are free to check and verify.

What malignent thing could he do? If you think this let him try and be certain.

What is his motivation for the negative trust, he only wants to contact me off-site where there is no proof of what he says?

I think he is attempting exortion, it's not just me he's left 2 other members the same trust.
10  Other / Meta / Re: I need a moderator please I have received fake feedback from TradeFortress on: July 14, 2013, 12:38:47 PM
Upon further investigation, it appears these people have left 2 other members the same trust feedback.

How is this allowed, and where are the moderators?
11  Other / Meta / Re: I need a moderator please I have received fake feedback from TradeFortress on: July 14, 2013, 12:37:20 PM
Why are you still trying to NOT get into contact with TF?

He is free to contact me here on this thread or via pm, I will not communicate with him off-site as I believe he is attempting to scam me, I want the moderators to be able to retrieve all the messages he sends me.
12  Other / Meta / Re: I need a moderator please I have received fake feedback from TradeFortress on: July 14, 2013, 12:27:30 PM
as far as i understand it, there is no moderation for "feedback" aka trust system.

anyone can do whatever they want.

So what happens in a case like this? I have never contacted either of these people before and they are allowed to leave me negative trust?

And TradeFortress wants to communicate off-site, I think he wants to scam me ask for money to remove it or similar. How is this allowed The trust system here is flawed.

Hi netzwerg!

You are one of the purchased accounts of BTCTalkAccounts, a person connected to the recent phishing and scamming events.

As this topic is sensitive, information has been sent to global moderators.

Have a good day, and I'd still like to reach contact with you.

I still don't fully understand, what are you saying? I deserve negative trust because I am a premium member? I did not pay for this account I registered it here, it is a free one.
14  Other / Meta / Re: I need a moderator please I have received fake feedback from TradeFortress on: July 14, 2013, 12:21:20 PM
Actually, I left you that for a very specific reason, which is stated.

Quit being an obvious shill, will you?

EDIT: Also, the fact you publicly posted PM's is also a reason why no-one should trust you.

I just noticed your trust says something different to TradeFortress's:

Quote
Is trying to extort me, and is part of a large phishing ring.

Go fuck yourself. Or should I say, yourselves?

If you could please report the message I sent you to the mods, thanks. I have never contacted you before in my life.

Also posting pms is fine when you do something so fishy. All I want is to fix the fake feedback.

So, today I accessed my account and found that I have received negative trust from two users, DiamondCardz and TradeFortress.

Here is a copy of the pms:

I sent this to both of them:

Hello,

I noticed you left me negative trust, can I ask why?

I am the operate for the YACoin p2p pool node http://pool.bitcn.org:8336/static/ here is the forum thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=204890

I have not scamming anyone and the trust you left me is very confusing. Can you please explain why or otherwise I will have to ask a mod to remove your trust.

Here are the replies I received:

Hi,

Join me on Freenode - /query TradeFortress

I am not dumb.

I've been told to leave you negative trust because you are part of a phishing ring. (I was told so by a trusted member with lots of rep)

I have not scamming anyone and the trust you left me is very confusing. Can you please explain why or otherwise I will have to ask a mod to remove your trust.

Mods don't remove trust, I believe. I'll contact the person who told me to leave the trust about it, ofc I'm not going to elaborate further because this "phishing ring" goes quite deep and I'm trying to stop it.

After checking the information, this trust will not be removed as your account was bought.

Here is the PM I sent back to TradeFortress:

Huh? I have nothing to say to you.

Just to let you know I've reported you to a moderator, but can you please explain why you left that negative trust, it doesn't make any sense. How is my account a scam or phishing account? I find this whole thing very confusing...

And to DiamondCardz:

Umm... what? This is not a premium account it's a free one, and what would that have to do with anything?

Just to let you know I've reported you to a moderator.

And here is the replies I received:

I'm happy to talk to you.

http://webchat.freenode.net/

Enter your nickname.

Type /query TradeFortress

Say hi.

k9k9k9k9k9k9k

Listen, join me on IRC and I'm happy to talk to you.

Or do you prefer BitMessage or Cryptocat?

As you can see, it's clear this TradeFortress person told DiamondCardz to leave me negative trust, he seems to want me to chat 'off-site' which I do not feel comfortable doing.

I have search the forums and found a number of scam accusations against this TradeFortress so I have decided to block him as I think he is trying to scam me.

It's also clear that DiamondCardz blindly left me trust without actually believing it too.

Can I ask a mod to please remove this fake feedback? I have not scammed anyone and do not see any reason to warrant negative trust.

For $3 really? Was that a limited time offer? Or is the service still available at that price?

Just doubled checked, the exact price I paid was $3.99 for 1 month unlimited usage for 54 different IP's, and thats the current price on the website too.
17  Economy / Services / Re: EarthVPN PPTP,L2TP,SSTP and OpenVPN Access to 32 Countries and 54 Locations $3.3 on: June 25, 2013, 10:44:44 PM
Has anyone here tried the service out yet? If so, what do you think?

Signed up for a month for only $3. It was really easy to set up on Ubuntu.

Service is amazingly fast. Lots of locations too. Very good value for money IMO. This is one of the cheapest and best VPN's I've used.

Shocked

Wasted too much time and money on a transfer today. I blame the company that is being a pain in the butt to deal with which is not bitcoin. Unfortunately, I wasted a lot of time and money dealing with something today and having a virtual currency for me that may or may not be legal in some areas is too risky for me.

I've met some great people on here. I wish you luck.

Sorry to hear you are leaving.

Just to clear things up the legality of Bitcoin is pretty clear, its legal. As long as you pay all your taxes to the government that spies on you, you are fine. What those taxes are varies between states/countries, nobody really has definitive answers either.

About the money transfers, these can be annoying alright. I would suggest other people facing this issue try using something like localbitcoins.com to find a person near you that you can meet whenever you want to buy/sell BTC.

Loads of proven scams and thefts of BTC with no-one to complain to or any way of seeking redress.

This one is a lie. You can take them to court if you wish and prove your case.
Scams happen all over the internet, you need to be vigilant.

Entire BTC universe was created and is being modified by a tiny unelected unaccountable body.

What universe? Bitcoin is just a protocol.

Small savings for merchants (I pay around 2% on Visa/MC in my businesses and BTC requires some fees)

People generally don't hand over their card details to smaller merchants on the internet (eBay seller for eg). PayPal charges 3.9% + $0.30 for each transaction and eBay charges up to another 10%. If you sell someone something for a dollar on ebay, you will receive $0.66 into your PayPal account + owe eBay around $0.10, so you'll get half your money. With BTC you'll get the entire dollar, but the buyer might have to pay a tiny fee.

No chargebacks mean I will never personally risk buying anything using BTC vs using a Visa/MCard/Amex - no price difference as a buyer, but I lose all protectionsagainst fraud or bad goods.

You don't have to risk anything if you use a 2 of 3 escrow payment.

Price fluctuations vs Fiat mean unless you exist only in a BTC world the risk on fluctuations through the course of a transaction vastly exceeds the benefit of a small cost-saving in most cases.

The reason for this is MtGox. To put it simply, they suck.

You need to give it time, back in the early days people would have to spread their BTC buying over the course of weeks as the exchanges didn't have the liquidity and they would loose too much due to slippage.

Once we have properly designed currency exchanges with decent volume & liquidity this will no longer be an issue.

Don't forget that almost all flows of BTC to date have been either speculative or gambling

What about Silk Road? What about BitMit? What about BitcoinStore? What about namecheap? What about Wordpress? What about 4chan? What about Reddit?

(SD is >50% of all BTC spend in history).

Not of all spends, but of all transactions as SDice makes 2 transactions for every single bet. And 90% of SDice transaction are automated plays by bots.
