ty for the bump.

List updated. 

ah Mosrite now that makes sense why you asked me to U/L that.

I see you have been singing my praises here!

As some of you know, BlueMosrite is one of my anonymous pros at Seals.  He is the self-proclaimed "Best player in his Oblast" of Kyv, Ukraine.  Please welcome him to this community.

I have seen this line of thinking before.  It is important to understand there is no underlying business unit here - weekly interest only comes from new investment. 

Veescudero's "arbitrage opportunity" is a myth - think about it guys - there is only 1 exchange of any size.

It is always important to ask a guy that claims to have a very profitable business why he continues to borrow money at 1%/wk

+1 / well said. 

It's the constant need for new money after claims of making large profits.  Tell tale sign of scam.

Wait... let me get this straight...

1) you, like theymos, approve of credit ratings and wish more people published them.  (I also agree with this - then over a long sample size (years and years) we will see who has published more accurate credit ratings)

2) you say my credit ratings are a joke, but then in the next sentence say that they are "mostly right" - and I strongly disagree as I think others would that I have "clearly not put any real effort into gather information" on this subject as you claim.

+1

biggest reason for it being Pirate booty is that nothing else - I mean nothing else in the entire BTC universe makes sense to have 5% of bitcoins in 1 wallet, built starting early this year until BCST busto. Nothing else it could be.

A scam-supporter himself he thinks he's calling me out huge because I can tell 7%/wk is a Ponzi scam, insinuating that knowledge must mean I too am a filthy scammer. 

Good try / no one bought it. 

Back on topic though,  I think that there is no doubt this is / was the Pirate wallet.  He's doing a good job of laundry at this point it seems, so it will prolly eventually only serve as a historical marker to say "look at how big it was" when he shut down BCST.

Also of note, here is the write up of BCST, in Slovenian:

while the google-translate is worth a chuckle, these are the type of stories these scams generate.  Yes most people are stupid, and will generally read "look, that scam currency again"  - well even though they don't understand, to make bitcoin widely accepted they have to trust it.  It's so imperative that the 90%+ of the humans that will hopefully use bitcoin and won't ever understand it completely trust it - that's what makes it work.   let's start building the trust and not killing it.

In Russia, Ponzi scams you!

(actually Slovenia)

1)  That post is from a long time troll, in a thread populated by long time trolls, on a site populated by long time trolls.  Read the entire thread - click on the OP and see all of his posts, scroll a bit... I think you can see a pattern of trolling + wild, false accusations - it's a culture of stupid, and I've recently exited it.  Not meant to be taken seriously

2)  Freemoney owns SealsWithClubs.  I'm the pro there and help market the site.  The software we use, Mavens, has no such "admin access" - again you are reading a troll whose message certainly worked as intended.   SealsWithClubs has a rock solid history and if players were getting hole-carded by management you would have heard complaints.  Download the software yourself.  Msg Briggsoft as a concerned possible buyer of the software - you just cannot hole card on Mavens.  Some on this board have poked extensively at the software, and I'm proud to say it's passed all tests so far.

3)  I agree I get emotional and sometimes post aggressively.  I promise you it stems from my passion for BTC and desire to make it better.

Maybe you still don't understand it either, but https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=81542.0  these credit ratings are akin to a 3rd grader writing in crayon on a piece of construction paper which pony she thinks is prettier:

Here is PatrickHarnett's Rating (rememebeer PatrickHarnett himself runs a 1%/wk scam himself) for "RustyRyan"


Yup, that's right - a 3%/wk scam, A- Credit rating.  Theymos I suppose you either don't care because you are making money or you cannot immediately discern that paying 3%/wk to borrow money & to keep borrowing more of it is literally 100% always a scam.  If you cared or could understand this you would realize the grave mistakes you have made and continue to make in this matter.  You are directly working against the best interest of this community and you are working directly in favor of scammers.

And I have also published my Credit ratings & reviews too:   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=105285.0

1) when all of these borrowing at high % scams were under "Lending" a handful of them were stickied.  a PPT was among them, I think BurtW's but I do not remember for sure.

2) Currently in the shameful & misnamed "Long Term Offers" section, there exists this sticky:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=81542.0   which is the PatrickHarnett (another schemer) sticky of "Who pays what"  - it is nothing but a list of current Ponzis.  He is a well respected member (to those that cannot see through the 1% per week scam, which should be obvious, but obviously is not to most of this forum's users) and gives an "A-" credit rating for a 3% per week paying "RustyRyan" borrowing scam.  He uses tables and makes it look nice.  But of course, this is just another stickied advertisement for the HYIP scammers and holy shit is it effective.  This is the main bitcoin forum remember - this users Patrick has 1000's of posts and Hero super-member status with a stickied thread - it appears totally legitimate to the newbie not scared by 1%/wk... or 3%/wk... but at least we can agree at this point 7%/wk is a scam?  Ok let's see how low we can go. (hint:  we're not close yet - ask any CPA / Accountant / Bank teller)

3) oddly enough, almost admitting to save face in the future, this thread "how to identify a Ponzi" is also stickied - the only 2 threads stickied there, and the views and pages of "WPW" far exceeds the Ponzi-identifier.  It's like the mods know these borrowing programs are all scams - but instead of working to stop the culture of scams they take part in them and give them max-effectiveness free advertising while putting up a postage stamp sized warning label so after the scams go belly up the mods can claim we warned you.

Ok so you claim to have 13,200 in profit - so I assume you will never need to take another investor deposit now?   or will somehow a spot open up for someone new very soon?  Why not use some profit and return depositor funds?  why keep paying them 1% each week?

Theymos did you read this?

Does the lead bitcoin programmer's opinion not hold weight here? 

Gavin is embarrassed by 'Long Term Offers' - as he should be.  Look at what you did Theymos --> http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/27/3271637/bitcoin-savings-trust-pyramid-scheme-shuts-down  here is another story about how bitcoins are the scam-currency of the now.   

I want to one day read an article that is titled "Micro-lending in Africa succeeds with Bitcoin"  - but if we are ever to see that article written the "Lending" forum can't sticky unregistered securities that derive their value from a Scammer named Trendon from Texas, just because the head moderator has a BTC interest in it.

This shit is bigger than making a few quick coins from a known scammer.  The leaders of this forum must be better than that...

1) I'm a college drop out, I have no degrees of any sort.

2) I expect this question to be dodged over and over, so I'm going to keep posting it and "Starfish" is going to keep not responding:


Do you claim to have 17,400 BTC in profit?   

Total liabilities (Deposits + other commitments) = 19,700  <---- this is the total number of deposits you have on hand from your "investors" ?

Yeah, please read the post I wrote at the end of July in the post of this same thread.
Please take a look and search for 'Víctor Escudero' in the page of the event.


odd... you don't appear in any of the pictures from this speaking engagement:

http://itsmf.es/index.php?option=com_phocagallery&view=category&id=71:curso-de-verano-2012&Itemid=439

1) The mods here gave (still give) stickies to Ponzi lists and before Pirate imploded the Lending forum had PPT stickies - best advertising you can get, and free?

2) I understand there exists "sharp" HYIP players - i.e. getting your principle out before the boom after making some interest - it does appear you could make money doing this.  I would personally never attempt this.  You are making a scammer huge money while profitting extremely small yourself.  Unlike poker, the losers are completely duped - they thought they were "investing."  Also the duped masses must come in teaming numbers for the scammer to make big $ and the +EV HYIP player to profit small.

I can easily prove you are running a scam and your identity if fraudulent:

1)  you have ~2500 BTC on deposit you have borrowed this at 1.5% per week - or about 140 BTC per month in interest owed.  Simply, do you make more or less than 140 BTC per month?

2) https://www.facebook.com/vescudero  is this your personal Facebook account?

This is a super-cool idea.  Would be a fun one to add to the leaderboard competition next month - everyone will have an almost equal shot all month regardless of their schedule
