The activity comes in the follow up email while your waiting for the merit transfer. They hit you with the send more BTC and I'll boost your activity lol.

I'd like to see a brand new, no post, 1000 Merit

Did you really just read this post in the other thread and decide this was your moment.

*slow clap*

So this is likely just a scam, or they have an alt account with Merit to sell.

Either way here is the link.

User already has red trust. Not sure if this is the kinda thing that gets a permaban/nuke.

Also reported to MODS.

Let me know if there is no need for this thread I'll lock it and let it drift into oblivion.

EDIT: Fixed spelling in title

I read the title and was like " what the f*** is going on"

Then I figured some alt/or someone you blackballed found your first forum post or something and was throwing you under the bus.

I actually think people out there are running "call spam centers" hiring locals for pennies a day to log in and use their "scripted responses" and just type away all day long.

At first I was hesistant on this theory; but then the business model made sense when my friend introduced it to me.


* I demand 40% of any spam center that takes my business model.

No just trying to have a discussion, or create one. I found this interesting sorry you didn't...did?? can't really tell through the tinfoil hat

Again not sure what you are trying to get at; I don't recall asking any information about the government PSSST....They are reading your thoughts. Either way I'm pretty sure governments currently have some control over the earth as it is; so maybe you meant losing control??? Again I have no idea


Your post succeeded in this so points for you. I'll try and break out my tinfoil hat translator next time. They just uploaded into your brain while you scratched your head...Don't Panic

So I wanted to talk about the new face of bitcoin crime. Sindri Thor Steffanson the face of "The Bitcoin 11"* caught my attention when it was announced he escaped prison, boarded the same flight as the prime minister of Iceland while using a fake passport. Then poof buddy is gone. I use the term escaped lightly as he pretty much just walked off the grounds of his fenceless minimum security prison; because why not.

What is super interesting is he was 1 of only 2 people that were ordered to remain in custody. Now for the part about the loot. We are used to hearing about hackers/scammers and other douchery in general; but this team was bold.

In this financial ecosystem they chose to steal the physical item: 600 miners... I have no idea what style, I would assume s9's considering the heists... yeah plural 4 total took place in December 2017 and January 2018. At the time of this post  the police do not have any leads on the equipment but are hoping the group is dumb enough to plug them in and essentially send out a beacon of electrical consumption... just like a grow op. Has anyone bought some ridiculously cheap hardware from northern Europe??  

So I'm wondering does anyone know any more about this heist, parties affected, types of miners, or any other facts in general? Have your own story to add by all means post away. I myself am still just amazed at the crime itself of 4 heists before getting caught and then the escape.


*Thought of that one myself... I so witty.

Best description of original heists

The escape

EDIT: Not doing an investigation, just looking to discuss this as it interested me.

Are you accepting forum escrow? There have been a lot of scams centered around these coupons lately.

If you are it is good to state it in your ad.

Vergel24 posted a copy/paste in my review thread. Darkstar pointed it out to me, so I reported to MOD at the original post and referenced Darkstars findings in my thread.

Good catch I hadn't thought to investigate these posts further. I'm glad I didn't compliment them on their ability to put together a decently written post.

Do you have a thread; or have you already reported this? I will leave your post available on this thread for a reference point.

EDIT: Reported post to Mod at original post with reference to your findings here. Thank you Darkstar.

Quoted for reference.

This post will not receive Merit from me as it's not inline with what I am looking for.

It is also a post on the 15th page of a thread which surely had more than enough answers. You would do well to read and understand OP before submitting again.
I will also delete your initial submission as it was not inline with what was requested in this thread.

While it is a slow time to sell Miners right now this might help you get some buyers.

Post photos with a piece of paper. On the paper include the date and your forum username. You might want to open the box just to show the units exist.


EDIT: Based on response below. I understand where you are coming from in regards to opening the box. Anything you can provide does go a long way to help validate the items. It is good that you are already offering escrow. Good luck with the sales

So to be clear for anyone who is planning on buying.

Are you offering Forum escrow? This would involve the funds being held until the items are delivered to prevent scams.

Is it your intention to use the funds that a potential buyer sends you to buy the cards?

If that is your plan are you going to accept Paypal goods and services? This way if you do not provide confirmations of orders being placed; or do not deliver the items the buyer is protected.

When making trades or purchases through the forum it is wise to use escrow.

Hopefully this works out in the end if not open a scam accusation. Wait a while until you are sure OP isn't just away or busy. Try to keep all communication about the deal such as timelines and promises.

Updates:

Do not PM me requesting Merits.

Should myself or anyone else find anything in/about your posts that violate forum rules they will be reported.
