1  Economy / Gambling / Re: [NEW] FairProof - the simplest provably fair bitcoin lottery (1,9% house fee) on: December 12, 2013, 06:34:18 AM

I just read an article found at news.google about this.

I very rarely gamble, but do donate to EFF.  I almost signed up, but 10% of 1.9% is not what I initially thought.

What would be cool would be to have 10% go to EFF, 1.9% go to the house, and my chances of winning be reduced accordingly.  If there were an option for such a game, I'd may or may not play it a bit rather than simply donate to EFF.  To be honest, though, I doubt that I would play it much, and I doubt that there would be very many others in my category so it seems unlikely that the dev effort to invent such a thing would be worthwhile.

OTOH, I could see a provably fair platform which allowed users to select from a variety of interesting charitable organization might gain enough popularity eventually to be worthwhile?



Don't use Fairproof.com.  They are scammers.  You can read more below.

The website is owned by Agora, Inc.  They sell financial newsletters.  Typically they they use a "carrot" to sell their financial info.  In this case the hot topic they are using to sell their info is Bitcoins.

Should Litecoin be the new crypto for currency, and Bitcoin exist as just a store of value?  

Excellent question.

Or simply go to a spot with public wifi and broadcast their signed tx there.

Blockchain.info logs the ip address that relayed first the transaction to them. That means nothing about who actually did the transaction.

Exactly what he said. 
7  Economy / Scam Accusations / Fairproof.com scam, stealing coins on: November 27, 2013, 11:11:44 PM
What happened:  I deposited .25 BTC using the address Fairproof.com gave me.  The coins never showed up.  After "Moderate" called out "FairProof" he vanished and moved the coins out of the destination account.  I can easily prove that the address that sent the coins is owned by me.  "FairProof" is unresponsive on this forum.  We could have easily resolved this issue.

I am well versed in cookies.  I did not remove the cookies from my browser.  Would you have a problem returning the BTC to the address it was sent from?  This would solve the issue. 

As soon as Moderate called you out the money was moved out of the address.  WTF???

So you are not going to work with me to resolve this issue?  I guess the lesson here is that that if there is a glitch with FairProof.com you will not work with the depositor to help resolve the issue.  

Scam is not a glitch, it is a feature embedded in this kind of operator.

Anyone should've suspected of the so claimed "Have a look at top 5 big lucks for last 24 hours", do you have any doubt those are completely fake ?

Code:
Date & time	Bet	Multiplier	Win

03:23:59 22/Nov/2013 0.953600 98.10 92.594560
08:43:38 22/Nov/2013 0.855000 98.10 83.020500
22:28:07 21/Nov/2013 0.752500 98.10 73.067750
00:25:22 22/Nov/2013 1.000000 49.05 48.050000

I was referring to the OP not Moderate.  Moderate thanks you for your help in dealing with this.

Please sir, I ask that you accept this bitcoin which fluctuates in value 50% every week and which hardly anyone spends because they believe the value will go up forever.

Does this really belong in the speculation forum?

If a business uses a Bitcoin processor like Bitpay they Bitcoins convert to cash right away.  There is no speculation. 
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let's promote Bitcoin. Let's crowdsource some Bitcoin banner ads. on: November 22, 2013, 06:32:09 PM
I think a more effective way to promote Bitcoins would be to our social networks.  If we all posted trending Bitcoin related articles on our Facebook accounts we could reach a huge audience and our network would be more likely to read what we posted.

Here is beautiful website site they are promoting.  :-)

http://www.kryptocurrency.com/

If you click "Join Now" you get this. http://www.kryptocurrency.com/wp-content/themes/custom-theme/images/Krypto-Application.pdf

Looks like a shady gifting program.

Has anyone else started getting these?  I've gotten 3 in the past few days.

I'd be cautious with Fairproof.com.  You can read more here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=288229.msg3634287#msg3634287

I am not saying the site is a scam or a ponzi scheme however if you have any issues with them I highly doubt they will be willing to help you.

So I guess we all should assume FairProof is not interested in responding?

Hey FairProof,

Please address my posts below. 

Has anyone sent coins to FairProof.com?  I sent them some coins and they "vanished."  I have emailed customer support several times and it takes them 1 to 3 days to get back to me.  Their customer service is terrible. 

I think they link your account to you IP address and drop a cookie in your browser.  They also give you a link to use so you can access your account without logging in.  I used the link they gave me but my account still has a zero balance.  I send them the link but they are telling me that's the wrong link and the money is sitting in my account.  So I guess the money is lost forever?

Is anyone else having issues?

So I've been dealing with customer service for over a week now and they seem useless.  It appears as if they don't have a real customer service team.  It's probably one of their employees who responds to customers when he has some free time.  I am not saying FairProof.com or FairProof is a scam or a ponzi scheme, however I would be extremely weary of sending them any Bitcoins.  They might vanish like mine did.
