Since the scam in not moderated, everyone from the TD members decides for himself how to threat this kind of activity. Of course if you advertise a scam project before the project had any scam indications is another story, at least for me.
A recent example is the CatenaX project which had no initial indications to be a scam one, and they held a Sig Campaign with a reputable manager @Hhampuz, but in the beginning of January they went to full exit scam and took the project to the ground. Still minting and selling tokens.

I don't think we can call @Hhampuz or the guys wearing the signatures scam promoters back then.

So it is very tricky when you actually promoting the scam, before or after it know to be one.

In the OP's case I don't know, did he promoted it before it was obvious scam or not.

GoFundMe sucks big time so no surprise people will look for more secure alternatives.
In this regard here's a nice screenshot
Well someone sent 2BTCs.

Go, truckers goo! It's all about freedom.

Just to add the latest activity and if you still not believe this is SCAM just read this:

• The project owners keep minting new coins and selling them on PancakeSwap.
• Here is the proof. On their website Current Supply : 31.5M CEX, Max Supply 63M CEX https://catenax.org/
• According BscScan total Supply ATM: 122M https://bscscan.com/token/0x59f2c86cfaa2ec1b07b3d032708220506657c479
• They keep minting and selling tokens Proof  for just the recent activity >

Waiting for CMC and CG to delist the project any time now.
I have sent a warning to both listing services.

I really like this kind of behavior from campaign managers, you earned my respect.I wish more managers take you as an example. I would throw some merit your way but my bags are empty ATM, so you'll be on my waiting list.
BTW I don't know if you are aware of this amazing tool https://ninjastic.space/ created by TryNinja but it can save you a lot of time connecting users and addresses. Check it out.

We did miss you
Good to see that the list is reducing now

Good work man, many cannot move from a Newbie rank for years.

Here's a funny fact, you registered your account just two days after my registration, lol. Happy to see someone still active here after all those years

You'll be a Legendary in no time

In addition to the above, there is a Discord server, of cource not an official one, as everything on Bitcointalk( but managed by one of the Admins here), where is a channel for the Epochtalk development. Not really active one, at least not lately.
There's a bot posting the last changes and revisions.
Check this thread and very your account there > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5247383.msg54403124#msg54403124

Found the transaction on the blockchain but I won't post it for the security reasons, what I think is that the OP's computer/device is infected with clipboard hijacker malware, LoyceV made useful thread about it and you can see what it is and how to prevent being robbed again.

If it was a wrong random address, the fund should be still there, but they just moved the day after, spreading in different wallets which is what makes me think that the virus is the answer here.

So OP, if it happens so you can read this post, YOUR COMPUTER IS INFECTED! DON'T USE IT FOR TRANSFERRING FUNDS!!
Format everything and make a clean install. If it's your phone.. make a FULL RESET!

Stay safe!

All those "free" money are bullshit. They were advertising that you'll get 500BUSD if you go trough the KYC verification, of course with a small text below it says that you can use those 500 BUSD only for staking for 7 days. LOL. So you stake them for no matter what % BUSD had at that time and you get like 1-2$ bonus. Then those 500 are gone. So basically selling your data for 2$.
Sorry but I call all this free money bullshit!

I agree it's not an logical explanation. As I said I'll wait to see if he shows up again and shed a bit more light on that. I don't think the negative feedback is so big issue to be fixed. Just ranting in the trust feedback is not the right thing to do.

The deleted posts, should be enough warning. The only thing that I would like to see is a link to the rules in the automated forum message. This is the best way to warn the users and push them to read the rules..
Here is an example of a deleted message I had.


If it could be something like this no need to have any more warnings >

I tired to verify the second message he signed from the same address when asking for a loan and got the negative feedback, but the same thing happened.


I assume you guys were right, he is maybe trying to pretend that he has control over the address so he can fool someone to lend him money.
I will wait an input from him to see what he will say.

I cannot agree with you here.
First, the hdd is not operational so the life is much longer than only 9-20 years.
Second, the important thing here is the data stored on the platters, the condition of the platters is crucial not the drive itself.
Third, the HDD cast body is from Aluminum Alloy A380, used in the aviation, hard and corrosive resistant, the same valid for the top cover, rust free and reinforced plate and the rubber gasket on the plate has more than 10 years of life.

There is a small ventilation hole on the top cover with filters, so the HDD can "breath" when the air pressure changes like on higher altitudes but even if there's corrosive fluid leaking into the drive which is highly unlikely, the platters are made of aluminum or ceramics covered with magnetic "dust" which is coated with extra layer of carbon.

There are probably mechanical damages from the transportation to the final point, but since the drive was not in operation the heads probably hit only at one specific spot on the platters, creating physical damage.

I assume the guy threw his whole computer with the mounted HDD inside, if that is the case then the chances to recover the hdd are much higher.

If I was him I would Dig!

I see you got the Copper Membership, that's good.
You do not need to create a second ANN thread if you are concern about the pictures. The pictures now are automatically displayed after you activated the paid membership.
If you would like to keep the new self-moderated ANN thread as your main one, you can now lock this one with a link on top to the new one.

Yes, later today I'll try to connect those threads and make a larger list of bot accounts

Yeah that's why I made this thread to not derail the Addy staking one.

I did check his previous tradings and he has done this before and paid back the loan. I would give the guy a chance at least to explain what's going on.

At least he can provide proof of ownership of the account, like sign a message from the vanity address above.

Guys, I created separate thread where you can discuss the case. This thread is only for staking so let's keep it clean.
Jannn's case discussion thread, continuation from the Address staking thread.

Just to stop the off topic form the Address staking thread, I'm opening this one here so we can continue our civilized conversation.


Leaving negative feedback back to those who tag you won't do any good for your situation.
Let's find a better solution.

Mostly scammers wake up and ask for loans and staking new address without signature from an old one, so tagging old account without activity in the past few year who woke up and the first thing was to ask for loan is a common practice until the owner of the account provide proof that he is the creator of the account. You have a chance to get the tags removed.

I suggest Jannn to remove his negative feedback he left to DS_ and icopress and focus on providing proof that he is the original owner.

Addresses you previously owned :

Can you provide a sign message from this address > 1HALVEAuiBkHhdJy4CZUDxg7H4cVFbrSrY used here
It's a vanity address and you should have access to the private keys yourself.
