i have not revealed my id because that would be done during contract signing just like it is in a real world...
[/quote]
This is the real world, and only a fool would sign without knowing who they are dealing with.
Craigslist scammer; "I will give you my number as soon as I get a chance..." Is it hard to get a phone number? Why not now?

(if you read the transcript, this fool didn't even enable it after the loss)
Is he a fool? His account was cleaned out. Very much agreed.
What are you agreeing too Ukyo? A refund to the op? |

The US Government does not acknowledge the presence of bitcoins... They would probably help you if someone robbed you in person or hacked you...
This is incorrect. While it is not considered currency according to FINCEN, it falls under digital goods. I am not a lawyer so one should be consulted and a class action suit would be advisable, along with criminal prosecution. He is bluffing with the libel suits as this is simply a scare tactic, and secondly, if there is any truth in the claims (of being a scammer), then there are no grounds for a libel suit. Keep in mind that this person completely lacks empathy for other people, and thus has no remorse for anyone but themselves. At some point, when cornered, will request mercy and paint themselves as a victim. |

Rather than keep 16 scammed coins I thought I can attempt to return some.
It's weird, but there is no option to keep any of those scammed and resc ammedued coins for you. I vote for either splitting them up between parties, that show and can proof their claim or, even preferrable, donate the rest, that was not showing up/proved, publicly to EFF or something else of your choice. Best" wo0x Those are BigBitz's coins, not "scammed coins" and there is no vote to be taken. Essentially, he doesn't have to do this at all. If someone told me this occured, I would not have believed had I not read it and seen it confirmed - faith in humanity restored! I know how it feels, was scammed 8k this winter. I filed police reports and then stayed on it, buying background checks and since I have a network degree, I was able to produce reports, then I continued pressuring the police investigator, it took two months and the investigator confirmed I was telling the truth, and the hammer dropped, and it dropped hard. The criminals called me after being arrested apologizing and fearing long sentences. A few things - I encourage all that have been scammed to persue this matter. If it is not persued, the scammer will change identities and continue burning victims. Despite what a "hero" member has posted, this is a crime in the United States. |

Hi,
I am interested in one. Thanks.

Tenebrix was premined, also the developer abandoned it along with the community.
Litecoin developers are still very much active- they are about to update the code to include all improvements up to Bitcoin v0.8.x
All the ALTs that copied off of Litecoin at its current state will be running Bitcoin v0.6.3 code. I hope these pump and dump developers are savvy enough to upgrade their coins like Litecoin is doing, otherwise eventually they will be left behind and forgotten (most of them are headed this way anyways.)
Also... create a better community? Bitcoin/Litecoin has a huge community, good luck trying to surpass all their development and services, etc. They are already ahead and have a bigger community to develop sites/services/updates to stay ahead in well into the future. There are also many more people invested into Bitcoin/Litecoin than any other crypto currency, so more people have incentive to make things and start projects because it increases value.
Why update the code? What purpose does it serve to "upgrade your coins"? Mind explaining for us newcomers to the community? Before someone spouts off something about newbies - we are buyers too and compete for value. |

FWIW, I own my server farm (as made rather public on the first day or two of the coin launch), and definitely pay my own electricity. And despite being one of the few that did implement GPU mining of YAC (just not necessarily one that performs as spectacularly as people seem to think every GPU implementation is going to achieve), I still CPU-mine YAC at this point. Tons and tons of cheap Xeon-based IBM BladeCenter blade servers that people dump on eBay for pocket change just because they're a couple years old and not the latest-and-greatest blade servers on the market, reasonable power costs, and sensible and efficient design of data center cooling are key here. Per unit of CPU performance, I pay less than half what someone would pay merely for a motherboard, a bit of RAM and an i7-2600k, to achieve the same level of performance, and end up with carrier-class hot-swappable hardware, with more redundancy than you can shake a stick at, that just doesn't fail except under unusual circumstances. This was formerly IBM's hardware platform for building supercomputer clusters for NSA, who tend not to have a sense of humor about power supplies that fail when you look at them funny. This just comes down to resourcefulness and ability to scrounge the right hardware (or even to know what to look for in the first place) to keep costs down.
You can bet I would've really cleaned up had I seen the delayed YAC announcement sooner than 8 hours after the coin finally launched.. I even had the entire server cluster all prepared to network-boot a YAC-specific Debian Linux image off one of my file servers, and it was all tested and ready to go prior to the originally scheduled YAC launch date/time, I just needed the final version of the client. But alas, I was asleep (and/or in the wrong part of the world) at the time the coin finally launched.
I remember your comments about this in the Yacoin thread. I pointed a few blades at it myself within hours of launch. I believe the problem was exactly the AWS system - way too much hashing power pointed at the coin which left thousand of orphans for everyone else. I did alright, but not as well as you as I recall made over 100k in coins, and then I stopped on day three and ignored the coin like so many others. Now, it's almost as worthless as all the other alts. For these coins to be viable - they need interest (hence why you see all the giveaways). Anytime a new crypto currency is created, early AWS/botnet miners try and sell it immediately at 5 ltc per 1k of x-coin. No buyers, now, they were burned. |

I don't have time to go to through 21 pages, will Yacoin be added? Thanks - and great job!

It's an interesting test to see if selling a home for an alternate cryptocurrency is viable. However, one home is not a strong sampling to determine if this will work. If a buyer should appear and wish to save money by using the alt-coin, then the value will increase as they will place big buys on the open market for DGC. If anyone already has the DGC from mining, then the value of DGC will not be affected as only buyers push the value up.
Many homes and products have been purchased indirectly from bitcoin, mainly from the conversion back to FIAT.

Would you mind looking to see what shipping to the US would be along with the duty? I just don't have the time but would be interested in maybe 280-300BTC.
You understand that the driver seat is inverted, right? That's ok. The passenger will scream when passing on the left. |

What's wrong with elacoind? It's infinitely too hard for all the point and click GUI noobs that have flocked to cryptocurrencies to get rich quick, brah. O sorry people are not so smart as you and can do CMD or Lunix or whatever you use... You want the cryptos to grow then stop being an asshole to new people. Also, FYI, most people will not figure out how to get to the command prompt. May you be bad at something and you get treated with the same respect you show the "noobs" here. it's because we learnt it, do it as well, it's not difficult, you just need to use 0.0005% of your active brain Common man, that's warp factor 11 for me, engines will burn up. Scotty, put an extra shovelful of coal in the boiler... |

Btw. just a post. someone said "6000 premine NO!' there was no premine. We helped the owner of elacoin last night mine the Genesis block. which he updated on the github and we all started mining at the same time.
Let's recap: Time of post for unofficial Windows mining release: 10:08. At 10:26 a windows miner got it running and reported that it was up to 6,000 block. Well, hell, if that isn't a premine I don't know what is! Who is "we all"? Clearly a bunch of non-windows users? If new coins continue to be released in this manner, you won't have any support for the coins you generated. The last three coins released are in the micro range with no buyers - know why? A release that favored a specific group. A buy/sell doc is quickly released and we watch it go from .0005 to .05 and then it plummets back down again. Look at the historic charts of feathercoin and yacoin. Please join those of us who want a supported coin and a start time that is reasonable, with files available for different OS at launch. 7 a.m. GMT +1 is 2 a.m. my time. I realize the OP may not be able to create the windows files, but he can ask for some support with bountys prior to the launch so that everything is ready. I know many of us would support a bounty. |

Bad luck. At the end of the day.. All forms of hacking have to be due to some sort of fault by the victim. I guess this could be seen as a some what expensive lesson.
You might as well say; "you left your window opened, you deserved to get raped!" Trojans and malware are continually being created or updated to get around antivirus applications. Antivirus apps, malwarebytes, etc are continually being updated to clean PCs. I am sorry this happened to you girlfawkesy. With two-factor authentication that shouldn't have happened. |

Well, we figured out what happened:
He erased/reinstalled Bitcoin (alongside other programs) on his computer, because he thought that the wallet/coins are safe on the USB stick (only the client is on the stick, not the blockchain or wallet data).
The wallet.dat is from a recovery program and couldn't be fully recovered.
There is still a (small :/) chance that the private key is intact in there.
Or is there maybe another backup option untried? some autobackup from windows maybe?
I have used recovery programs before and they work. I am not sure what O/S he is using, but even if he copied over the wallet.dat file in the appdata folder, it can still be recovered. Easy Data Drive Recovery is what I used. I could walk the OP through it on a conference call. Another poster was absolutely right - avoid using that drive - if the file has been deleted than that block is open to be written on. |

This is interesting. Where is the 50% bomb and 75% bomb. Also, asking that users don't use BTC, but then ask for BTC address so we have to do the conversion for LTC?!

Hi all, A new website; www.asxproject.com (from Shenzhen, China) claims to be selling ASIC mining systems with hashrates ranging from 25-125 GH/s when they open in 3 days. According to their RSS feed they have no customer service office and are an online based company. They expect to be shipping their first 100 orders within 3 weeks after purchase. Does anybody have a legitimacy confirmation or information about them? Well if someone with 19 posts says so in REALLY BIG letters, I guess I might want to reconsider.... Exactly! I mean, why come to the "newbie" forum and rail against those new to these forums with low post counts and listen to reason and logic. Listen to this guy, he is making sense: "I have communicated some withe 'whoever is behind' ASX project. I judge it to be 90% (ballpark) chance that its a scam and around 10% that it is (or wants to be) legit based on what I have been told. I'll prob throw in my $800 and just see it as a lottery ticket, albeit an expensive one." |

Can't wait to get out. Saw some very good posts that I wanted to reply to and no reply button. Amazing, that the idea of post count actually accounts for something. I remember arguments on forums back in the 90s going from great debates, to who had the most post counts (apparently that makes an argument more valid, not the premise or conclusion), to a final failure of resorting to Godwin's law.
