Sneaky pricks. I'm guessing they are hoping you are just another shill and will pop whatever site reaches out if the offer is good enough. Well done.
All I can say is if you are adamant about taking these guys down, don't wait for there to be more victims. Best of luck.

I know this is late but how did you lose your Signature for "spamming" the thread. Feel free to PM me about this as it could be off-topic here. Also Ban evasion relates to opening an account if your first one was banned - no exceptions. All future accounts get banned as well. If that was the case you can create a topic in meta for a ban appeal.

I'm no mod, and have no special powers but could try and point you in the right direction if you truly care. Are you sure you can't put a signature on though - you should get 150 characters.

You should probably specify what FIAT currency they will be receiving the funds. (USD, EUR, etc.)
Another good bit of info would be who they are receiving funds from, and if it will be F&F or as a service.

Apart from that there are all the general risks associated with trading like this from chargebacks, to "Hacked Account" claims resulting in chargebacks.

Good luck, but the more details the better.

So October has been interesting. I was to slow/lazy to get myself a bet in on Dnegs through Pokershares lol. What can I say I love to hedge a bet, but it was fun looking through all the other offered bets. I was tempted to send over some coin regardless and bet on some of the side action but opted out. My favorite was "Where will Dougs teeth be at the end"

Sounds like for most of it we should be able to watch via Upswing or Dougs Twitch channels - They had an article on upswing that covered whatever details they had set in stone, and mentioned this. I doubt Doug will go full hole cards for it but a guy can hope.

I still haven't seen anything in regards to Dnegs play or training. Doug has been all over the place, winning big in some spots and then losing it in others. His latest tweet was him playing HS against Ali Imsirovic and losing all his profit... and then some I'm guessing 270K.

Definitely not the ego boost you'd want shortly before heading into the match.

Thanks for this Yahoo - and side note Betnomi have been pretty awesome to deal with; which can be expected from a new company trying to bring in customers.

I reg'd and deposited a couple days ago, and traffic is low for my timezone but had a chance to play with the software a bit on my day off and was impressed. I would say it's equal to or better than SWC out of the box, and blows away the client sportbet had available. I'll touch more on that later.

In regards to the tournament structure. What we have been running with as far as date and time seem to be best for everyone as a whole.

I would like to see 8 minute blinds and maybe play it as 8-max or 6-max something like that. I think this would be a more exciting structure for the games on a weekly basis. If we went as low as 6-max a 10K starting stack might be a good idea.

Buy-in wise I can go either way on keeping or scrapping the lottery. Some players might be more partial to it than others so I'm still open to it if some were playing only because they felt it evened the field a bit.

15$ to 20$ total is reasonable, I just remember when we were hammering it out before this was causing concern for some feeling the buy-ins were a bit steep. My ideal would be something like 12.50$ entry and 3$ championship.

I'm open anything and will keep popping in to discuss with everyone.

Yahoo I'm steamtyme on Betnomi

Edit: I'm also willing to help out in any capacity, we can hammer some of that out as we get closer.

Sorry to hear about this. You are not the only person who has had issues with them over the years. Here is the most recent thread it was discussed in. I believe the OP was able to get their gear back.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5218742.0

Best of luck.

Hey,
Just starting to poke around the site and can't seem to navigate to a promo page. Just wanted to read up on first deposit bonus and whatnot, before signing up and downloading. I did notice a Signature today where it says 300%, but wanted to see the details around that.

Heard you are considering hosting some Bitcointalk poker tournaments, which put you on my radar for a new spot to play. Looking forward to hearing back from you, and maybe playing a few tournaments this week when I check out the schedule.

Small suggestion would be to find a way to incorporate Poker into your title. Personally that's all I'm really looking for. I edited the title in my reply to show an example of a small change to showcase poker as well.

First thanks for the work throughout the series.

My only comment regarding the above though is this. I believe PM's should remain private. Misunderstanding and oversights can happen, bringing more people into the fray while an issue is fresh usually only makes it worse.

Side note in the poker series thread Yahoo has mentioned being able to set up a series on betnomi. That's all I know but he's doing an interest check - can't link I'm on phone

well you are a luckbox 
I would be interested depending on schedule and timing. I'll check out the site as I've never come across them, and don't anything about their terms or operations. Pm me or something if I don't respond/find your announcement.

Oh damn, that's kinda shitty.
I'm assuming SWC has lost interest in sponsoring it? Makes sense I guess as we haven't really brought much additional traffic to the site.. apart from the roll I've left on the felt these past few months.

Hopefully we can throw together some one offs or something similar, until a time they choose to fire this up again. If they choose too...

Does make a decision I've been having trouble making a bit easier. Withdraw what I have kicking around on their site for the larger field tourneys on ACR.. or maybe somewhere else, might give GG another try. Keep in touch everyone.

Yeah I was pissed I missed it, especially when I realized there were only 4 people playing. Ever since school fired up Sundays at noon is just a shit time for me. Either I'm at home, on the kids 2 days off, or I'm working so either in need of sleep or depending on my rotation and indisposed.

Glad to hear we are picking up a few other regulars maybe, always a good thing for the series overall.

Congrats on the win

Dammit, missed the fun one today. Was about to reg, then had to go put out some fires ... not literally. Such is life.
Have fun everyone, did I miss the lottery draw already?? I'll pop in and out of the stream today to catch up on the action, as brought to us by our devilishly good announcer Globb0

Report them as suspected Ban evasion and see what happens. I know it's all the same M.O, but I felt comfortable with the flag as it was easy to show how they pretended to have bought gear, while also admitting to being behind the business. I'm going to check the other accounts to see if they have done anything similar. Apart from that, a comment in the thread and decide on tagging options from there, seems reasonable.

Noice, glad the stream is chugging along. Had a blast that day we were hanging out there.
I'll pop in and out for sure as my day permits, to see how things go.

I forgot all about the lottery lol. I was just thinking the last time I looked how funny it would be if you took down one of the Lottery prizes.

Any more solid plans on your end Globb0 in regards to a one off tournament??

That's not really how this works. Your new token has no value, so like ay other ICO or launch I suggest you create an [ANN] thread and see if people choose to invest in this.

Legitimately it sounds like you are trying to sell monopoly money for BTC. You have a coin with no idea plan or necessity, and you are valuing it at .5$

Unbelievable lol, I suggest no one take OP up on their offer. I love the part of it always being worth less than 1$, despite that being it's future cost, and current savings is .5$ - funnily .01$, and .00 are also less than 1$ so it's not an outright lie.

potentialhh, is pretending to have purchased from halvmining.com here

While at the same time coming here and stating
Crazy how long it's been since the flood of fake sites and offers for gear. The only upside is that he entry point for mining is rather bleak compared with several years ago. Should mean slimmer pickings for the scammers... until th eprice explodes. Then it will be just as nuts as things were late 2017 into 2018.

I'll be tagging potentialhh - I think this is enough for a newbie warning flag as well since they are claiming this platform as their business in their defence.

Flag created - using this post as reference.

Yes, theymos took care of it after the thread was posted and requested as much.


Given th account will never again be active, it would make sense for OP to add it to the list.

Dishonest, hmmm not likely a typo. So just back to misinterpreting and running with it as fact. Seems more likely, so I'll spell it out. I replied to Zasad@ as quoted about their actions regarding their thread and interviews. You did respond to them in part as well, then you dedicated half of your post to my attack on privacy - this subtopic had no pace in that thread. It would have quickly and easily pulled the topic away from the interviews.

So as a courtesy and inline with forum guidelines didn't post off-topic and created this thread. I guess I could have maybe tucked this into my reputation thread as I think about it. I'll link it here later. So I guess in a way you could say that I was in the exact position to "not allow" myself to be used to go off-topic.
A spam megathread is any thread that becomes a long line of repetitive, unoriginal low value posts. Whether signatures or not exist, is irrelevant. Apart from me usually adding Sig spam in a report. So it's understandable that people can see the possibility of that thread becoming one. Here we are circling back to Lauda again, with no real reason; apart from you thinking anything short of a rainbow blowjob is a personal attack against them.


Explained above. May come back to answer. You've already quoted and replied. No sense in attempting to drag this out further by spreading your replies to a single post over multiples. Again, your opinions are your own, and matter little to me. I am coming around on how pointless this thread might be, in that it seems pointless attempting to have a discussion with you so I guess we're closer to finding common ground.

Multiposting is against forum rules. The edit button works wonders for that.
I have avoided using "ignore" entirely and don't really want to start, but I've been close to using it a few times this year. I've had ~ on for a long time. I'm sure we could find "someone" who would agree with those tags in concept, it's not I.

My apologies. I legitimately do not like stirring it up or dragging it out. Sometimes I do feel a need to respond. I harbor no ill will against Lauda, they were an internet persona I disagreed with on some points mainly around conduct on an internet playground.

---

I got annoyed.

Don't forget your cape. Oh what luck the only defender of privacy has come for me, the anti-privacy incarnate.

Sorry to disappoint but the tales you are weaving are really doing you a disservice. I get it your anonymous internet friend has left you and there is a void. Maybe this is your path to grieving with the anger and lashing out I don't know... don't really care as a matter of fact.

You're right there are a lot of people here who have done a bang up job protecting their irl identities. There are hundreds more who value their irl privacy. The fact of the matter is though, every single person who has ever posted on this forum has given away a private part of themselves. You know why?? This is a public fucking forum, not Lauda's personal diary. So forgive me if I don't give a shit that someone who built up a "celebrity" type of reputation has peoples interests peaked by dropping a farewell bomb on the forum.

Lauda could have accomplished a much more private departure by simply departing. Drop a message down the old Batline from the Cat cave to theymos and privately had their account locked. So many private options it's almost unreal. Then there's the friend who is trying to stop people from doing perfectly normal things, but can't stop posting in, and as a by-product bumping the thread itself. Then gets upset when someone suggest getting it locked, possibly preventing it from becoming a spam megathread. Pretty sure Lauda hated spam as well.

Now discussing the forum and it's roots. Forum principles are heavy on the freedom, and definitely come with the message about how important ones privacy can be. I can't speak to the individuals who arrived near founding or their motivations, but the freedom aspect is easy. It's interesting how freedom to oh say ask questions, or inquire or speculate about someone, goes out the window as soon as it touches on your insecurities around privacy. The key here is people are responsible for themselves - this includes the level of privacy they maintain, the reputations they build and how they conduct themselves. Lauda made choices, including building a reputation they parlayed into great business opportunities for themselves. They also made choices to remain secure and unlinked to an irl personality, to a great degree I imagine, as there have been countless enemies attempting to unmask them. So if anyone ever unravels the mystery of Lauda it will have been through the cats own actions.

I don't know if your trying to threaten me mister privacy advocate. Thing is I'm not going anywhere, I would have ignored you long ago but the repeated threats around the misuse of the feedback system keeps me around. I clearly stated in my answers that I was blissfully ignorant to how poorly I guarded my privacy, but it also wouldn't have mattered. I have made decisions that have given up details about myself in the interest of trading and building relationships. So just because I made those decisions doesn't mean that I do not respect the privacy of others. That doesn't mean I am going to impose my opinion, beliefs or values on others, they are mine to internalize and live.

Someone may one day decide to dig into me, maybe they will call me Mr. Steamtyme, and I'll joke that's my dads name. Then I just imagine awkward silence as they realize I'm not that cool.


All while discussing an individual who may have been compromised in some fashion.

You do you, I'll do me. You can continue to draw false conclusions about me and what I write I don't really care. I will however not allow you to use me to derail an individuals thread. Oh and seeing as you consider me untrustworthy, just place ~steamtyme in your trust list, neutral feedback could also be reasonable.

Nothing. You are doing nothing wrong. Any negative feedback you receive would get sorted in a very similar fashion to the last instance.

Don't worry about what people think, and definitely don't go changing just because someone on the internet thinks you could possibly be infringing on someone's privacy by offering them the chance to answer questions. It's not like you are forcing people into this or combing through post histories to create a profile for individuals against their will.

---

My advice ignore this feedback. Even the threat of negative doesn't fit with what negative feedback is for. Should you chose to take an unhealthy obsession in Lauda and dedicate your days to trying to find out who they are, it's not against forum rules to seek out information. Are we tagging anyone who researches Satoshi? No.

The worst thing you can do, is change who you are and how you act in an attempt to please everyone.

I received the password as well. Not sure what my day is like Sunday but if I'm around I'll pop into the fun final.

Personally. I thin kit's your donation and I don't see anything wrong with you pulling it. I say this whether or not you donate it towards the game Globb0 is talking about, or just wanted back your chips. I know that's not the case, I just don't like the idea of people feeling like they can't do as they wish with their "donated" chips.

I know no one has said otherwise, just wanted to make my point. Meant to post right after you mentioned it the first time.
