No wai!

It might be more fun to get arrested in Miami on the chance of sharing a cell with the beebs?

 

Hey there Andy, do the following numbers mean anything to you:

6KSH8I47

or perhaps

6AQZ087

 


Ring any bells?  Like perhaps the license plate numbers of your family's two cars?


Dunah, Dunah, Dunah... here that jaws music getting louder?


Perhaps you should return the coins and or money to nmat and I before we have to keep going here...

Other then the fact that you should never trust the asshats on this site... you happen to be right this time. 

Pick up scheduled with USPS

BitTrade is sending me .814 btc for two xfx r9 280X black edition cards... I am shipping them USPS to him tomorrow.  He is paying me first, and I am not going to scam him.

They work just fine, but I am downgrading the cards in the rig I am building for my brother-in-law because he wants to display the rig in the living room and my sister will kill him if it is too loud or requires a big fan pointed at it.

Soooo.... they are going for about $380 all day long on ebay.  

I will sell them, shipped domestically for .8 BTC.  I will NOT SHIP FIRST unless you happen to by my mother or father.  

I am more then willing to use Tomatocage, or Nightowlace as escrow.  

Wouldn't hurt my case - might annoy the hell out of him though.

Not the end of my life, but the last time I'll ever send first.  This guy took .2 for a week of hashing and didn't deliver.  He didn't respond for several days and then when he did he said:

"What can I say, I scammed you."

"I am here to teach people like you a lesson not to trust"

And some more such nonsense...

Unlike gonefishing510 - I am not going to persue this guy because not enough was involved and I was dumb to send first.  Oh well, lesson learned... But don't do business with him.

I am acting under the advice of counsel.  I am not going to sue his neighbors, friends, coworkers, or his boss.  I am however going to make sure they all know who he is and what he is really about.  I don't care that they are not involved... and when I call them they are welcome to tell me to go fuck myself and hang up.  I am still planning to cause this guy some major life disruption.  He is reading this thread, and I am not talking about you, but there seem to have been an increase in the number of people warning me I shouldn't do this.  I am at this point assuming they are mostly his aliases.

I am acting on the advice of legal counsel, and I know what I am doing here.  The guy just picked the wrong guy to steal from and left too many bread crumbs behind.  He's already busted, he just doesn't realize it yet.

someone has a bug in their undies...

I'm sure that is just Andy being an amature... no worries tomato... this guy is going to have all of his personal information splattered everywhere... Like, everywhere.

I know, it was a scam, the guy respoeded and actually told me he was scamming me and that he was doing it to teach me a lesson about being more careful.

.2 btc - I don't really care, karma is going to catch up with this guy because he is a bad person.  I'm not pursuing it because I just don't care taht much and I am busy pursuing a bigger scammer.

let me ask again - cards, max $500 - and some hashing.

Suggestions based on that?  Also - no card that needs a six and eight pin connector.

I think I am miscommunicating something here.  He doesn't care about the hashing really, just that it looks good.  I have 3x xfx r9 280X cards for his rig...  but he doesn't give a shit about the hashing.  He cares that it looks good.   He doesn't want the hashing, fine, I'll happily throw together a new rig and keep it...

So, to rephrase my original question:

What cheap ass cards can still hash at 300+?

What if I wanted to run three cards, but at like 350 each?  What would you suggest then?

So, this is kind of an odd request I know, in a different direction then others want to go, but I want lower power, lower hashing cards for a litecoin rig I am building.

Why?

My brother in law wants it as an art piece for his living room.  I already have a beautiful ferrari test bed, and I want to make this look really nice... however, he wants it quiet without a ton of fans on teh rig... and no fans pointed at the rig.  So I need cooler, lower power cards. 

Any suggestions for something that would be cool, quiet, stable, and produce maybe 400-500 kh per card?

Well honestly, thats sort of the point.  Someone needs to put their foot down and do all they can, using the legal system, to stop this bullshit.  Honestly, for me, the one silver bitcoin is a big deal because it had a lot of sentimental value and I only offered it for sale because I was in a tight financial spot.  I have since borrowed some cash from my father, so I am okay right now - but what this guy did isn't okay.  Someone has to show the scammers out there that while sticking within the law, and following the rules, it still possible to catch them.  

Andy - I know you're reading this thread, and I know at this point you have to be concerned.  I am still willing to shut this entire process down if you return my coin or pay me, and return nmat's coins or pay him.  But at this point, I have put time into this.  I have more time and work to put in, at some point I am going to become unwilling to let this go man.  You're on a clock to make this right.

Also, nmat has agreed to the cost of the private eye - so at this point we are moving forward.  You are now going to have to compensate us for money spent pursuing you to get us to go away.

SHILLING MY SHIT!!!

I'm pretty sure it's a dude named Kim.  I will know a lot more in a few days when I get the contract with the private eye executed and get his report.

I am planning to file a lawsuit, however, before doing that I plan to potentially post the name and home phone number of this person, as well as, potentially his neighbors, coworkers, and boss so that I and others here can perhaps make some phone calls to try and get our property back.  I honestly prefer not to have to sue because it will be a pita, but I will inorder to make an example.  That said, hopefully by spending a few hundred bucks with a private eye we can get enough info to make this person realize they are not going to get away with it.

Their real mistake here was using false names and multiple accounts... that is what show clear intention to defraud.  I am no longer upset about losing the coin I sent because I will get it back, what I am upset about is the work I am going to have to do.  That said, it will be good to make an example out of someone on these forums to hopefully dissuade others from trying this shit again.

Nothing at all.
