Can sell u around 100+ Keys for 1.75 btc

He sells keys for $1.70 each ($1.65 for more than 10) in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=833345.0

I doubt he will buy at this price.

I am the only one who notices that this person has taken out 4, one week loans over the course of the last two weeks, all in the same amount and all repaying in much less time then the time was negotiated upon?

It makes me wonder if these are all attempts to build up reputation 

its for gambling purposes Cheesy

so any other back up plan for this?we all know that one cant be winning in a gamble all the time so what will happen if say suddenly you losein your gamble?

Read before posting! I've payed the loan. Clearly you're here to post pad.

It appears Glucose posted the incorrect txid, one which makes it appear you did not receive a loan at all. I believe this is the right txid: https://blockchain.info/fr/tx/1c691b094f50968f68b44b3b77c1e9b86f71e1b68f93f8ef448c6dc15280eca8

It would be best if Glucose could confirm this so we can clear up this misunderstanding.

OK It is Illegal to farm accounts ? scammer ? I'm not able to farm and sell accounts is it illegal ?

If BadBear left you this feedback it has (surely) the proofs, maybe the same IP address.

Of course It is the same IP address I created over 40 accounts and Log in manually every day to post and get my activity increased to later sell them. Can anyone tell me what's the illegal part of it ? Thanks. I don't use any kind of sofware or anything all I do is manually.

Your accounts were most likely banned because the content of your posts was very low quality. Having multiple accounts is fine, but spamming to raise activity will lead to a justifiable ban. Like I said, PM BadBear or wait for him to post here if you want to know the exact reason. I would also move this to Meta, since he will be more likely to see this topic in that section.
584  Other / Meta / Re: Probable serial scammer, long list of alt scammer accounts, list to come. on: February 09, 2015, 10:35:13 AM
I highly doubt that you are genuinely unaware of why you have received this rating. Regardless, the best way for you to resolve this would be to PM BadBear, although I'm guessing he will post said list publicly now that you have made this thread.
585  Other / Meta / Re: Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ on: February 05, 2015, 01:25:25 AM
Perhaps you and any anyone else could add it to yours?


Sure, hopefully some people will benefit from it, I just thought it would most be effective among the staff.
586  Other / Meta / Re: Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ on: February 04, 2015, 11:10:49 PM
Personally I think it should be stickied. I think adding a link to this thread that gets sent along with the deleted posts urging people to read the rules would be a good idea also.

Perhaps it would be a good idea for staff to add a link to this thread in their signature as well.
587  Economy / Services / Re: MoneyPot Signature Campaign - February is OPEN on: February 04, 2015, 12:40:46 AM
Stop flaming his rate,he can pay what he wants. It's his campaign not yours. And no, you don't need to state that it's very low because we can all see that.

He is entitled to set any rate he wants, no one is arguing that. The issue here is that the OP is vaguely written, vague enough that people might sign up for the campaign under false expectations that they will receive a sizable payment per post, when in fact they will receive barely anything. This is quite deceptive in my opinion, the OP should be more explicit with the fact that the rates offered are not per post.
588  Other / Meta / Re: Unusually large amount of new users in the past week (bots) on: January 29, 2015, 10:05:37 PM
I can tell you that almost all of these bot accounts are posting, but we remove these topics almost instantly, so you don't notice it. Wink
However, I have no idea why there are so many joining lately nor do I know how it happened. It seems that someone wrote/has a good program to create all these accounts.

That is unfortunate, I haven't been around enough this week to see that many of these posts, props to the staff for keeping the forum so clean given the volume of topics they must be dealing with. Like I said, it appears that this all began right after the forum went down, perhaps something was disabled that was preventing this previously (similar to how the search function wasn't fully operational for a few days).
589  Economy / Gambling / Re: Challenge: What's the best way to win 1 BTC with 1 BTC? on: January 29, 2015, 09:56:09 PM
According to these conditions, maximal EV with 1 BTC bankroll attempting to win 1 BTC is achieved by making 1 bet of 0.0001010101 BTC @ 9900x.

You're right, my language was pretty poorly picked. I should have said: "Maximizing the probability to win 1 BTC" as opposed to "Maximizing the EV".  Your bet does however does use fractions of a satosishis, so I'll give you 0.05 if you tell me your MP Account or bitcoin address.

The core question is still open, and for the people who suggested martingale betting sequences, I'll writes some code to figure out the probabilities a bit later.

I made a Moneypot account with the username MadZ, deposit address 1LnQYjwRhsZkp21jaMx6PNJynBw6w2BrKR, thanks!

Public note: If my btctalk account is compromised in the future, I believe I will be unable to sign this address to prove ownership.

I believe blockage's two solutions will probably yield the highest probability of achieving 1 BTC, although I will make an attempt at it later. The key is to minimize the amount you wager, which is done at the lowest odds, since the more you wager the more you lose out to the house edge.


Here's something that no one else really do, but i abuse it every so often. If you bet with 2 satoshi at 1.33% payout on primedice, you'll 'win' 1 satoshi Smiley how's that for beating house edge!! if you bet 5 satoshi, you'll win 2 saotoshi back ;P and if you bet 8, you'll win 3 satoshi

Your actual balance is rounded beyond what you see on your screen, this does not work.

While at first this might appear to be a good thing, a quick look at the members list sorted by registration date reveals that these are mostly just bot accounts. Here are a few examples from just the past 30 minutes (they are being registered in a steady stream):

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=425081
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=425079

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=425062
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=425059

Fortunately, they don't seem to be posting, and a few Most appear to have been banned according to the modlog, but it does seem rather interesting that this flood of bot accounts began right after btctalk's downtime one week ago. Perhaps some security feature with user registration was changed/disabled once the website came back up?

Provide a well-defined betting sequence to maximize EV.

According to these conditions, maximal EV with 1 BTC bankroll attempting to win 1 BTC is achieved by making 1 bet of 0.0001010101 BTC @ 9900x.

.0001*1 - .9999*0.0001010101 = -0.00000099999899

You won't find a higher EV than this given typical dice site constraints.
594  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Wardrick owes me $110 and is not paying me back. So basically he's scamming me. on: January 28, 2015, 10:47:36 PM
99.97642% of the Starbucks gift cards that have been sold on this forum have been carded. I'm surprised Wardrick even attempted to buy them, Wardrick should know better. If he did use the balance he should pay up obviously, but I'm only 27.5427% sure he did.

he did use the balance. I pm'ed the next morning to tell him I want to take my cards back but he said he used them all up

Post screenshots of those PMs. If he already used them, there is no reason why he shouldn't have paid.

Interesting: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=85316 - Shows "This user's password was reset recently." - Possibly a hacked account? Maybe someone could get him to verify this is him or leave negative feedback to protect others in case of a hacked account.

January 26, 2015, 01:33:02 PM - Wardrick - password reset via email and January 26, 2015, 08:40:01 PM - Wardrick - password reset via email from the seclog. Assuming the OP is using the default timezone, it seems Wardrick was in control of his account when he sent these PMs (although the hacker might have redeemed the codes after gaining access to his account).
595  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Wardrick owes me $110 and is not paying me back. So basically he's scamming me. on: January 28, 2015, 09:07:54 PM
I think one of the issues here is that there was a severe lack of communication regarding payment details before you sent the codes. Assuming the only messages Wardrick sent you are the ones you have posted, I'm not surprised that he hasn't paid you. "Interested" does not mean the same thing as "please send me the codes and I will pay you immediately". You put him in a difficult situation by preemptively sending them, I'm sure he would have explained his payment plan beforehand if you had done more than just send the codes after one vague PM. This is all assuming there aren't additional PMs between you two.
596  Economy / Trading Discussion / Buying BTC with Paypal on: January 26, 2015, 07:53:01 AM
Wasn't sure if this was the right section to post this.

Anyway, I have no experience with buying BTC for Paypal, but might be looking to do so in the near future. I was wondering what % above the exchange rate I would need to buy at, I was hoping to pay no more than +5% or so. Is this a reasonable expectation or will I have trouble finding legitimate sellers at a price like this?
597  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: briefcase full of cash on: January 26, 2015, 06:44:19 AM
Let me know when you are buying the coins as i expect market price to go up a little when you do that.

The market price would probably be unaffected by a cash transaction not done on an exchange.
598  Other / Meta / Re: Quickseller is a major trust abuser on: January 24, 2015, 04:29:07 AM
So you're upset that a member of this community tried to protect other members of this community from your scams?



Upset, no. I am not upset, as I already have lots of other negative trusts. I am trying to make bitcointalk a forum of justice, where users like Quickseller can't get away with this.
You are completely missing the point. He posted on the thread saying you weren't trusted. You removed the post (yet another action of a scammer), so he was left with no choice but to leave negative feedback on your profile.

Get it now?

Also, more red for you to enjoy.
I know nothing of the CanyStripes saga but I'd avoid using the phrase "admitted scammer" in your feedback without a reference linking to some evidence otherwise I'd dismiss your comment as another sock/troll.



In this case it isn't really necessary to do that, there are quite a few prominent reference links in his trust already to back this up.

I saw news about Primedice reopening its campaign in future for all members. Any news on that yet ?

Signature campaign launching very soon!
Launching soon means months. We've all learned from over two years of long delayed promises from you Stunna that "soon" actually isn't soon. Take for example the launch of PD2 and the launch of PD3. Promised "next week guys" for months on end for them...

Don't hold your breath people.

Just testing the tracking bot for it now Smiley

I kind of disagree, the first page of his post history goes back to April 2014. Obviously, few posts does not necessarily indicate inactivity, but it is a pretty good sign.
