261  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / ★ [ANN] [CV2] Colossuscoin v2.0 | X13 | 5000 CV2/Block | SWAP | Feature update ★ on: October 16, 2015, 03:22:51 AM
Thank you Sudo for getting the updated Client I sent you, I had talked to Mullick about doing the swap. I think it would actually be a bit better to give a larger portion for the swap than 20:1 as I think there would not be that many people from here on out that would still have their private keys for the original ColossusCoin plus Coins that were lost when the Chinese exchange delisted it and they would probably have held around 20% of the Coin. Cryptsy holds about 50% of the Coin so I think it would probably be best to give a larger portion though Staking and then swap the rest and leave about 10% for a development fund.

You're really not paying enough attention, mate.  100 TPS..... Grin

Yes, thats right, in less than a week BitShares will have 100 tps and 3 sec blocks! Improvement in the code will finally allow 1 sec blocks and 100.000 tps.

I can understand your "fear" and your "anxiety" EvilDave, 1 minute blocks and 3 tps ? ? ? pfff... is this 2013? or we are heading to 2016? Grin Grin Grin

Really Paycoin? We listed Paycoin like all the other exchanges, and accepter a prime controller post Garza. Which we never profited from nor used...


BitJohn, I told this Cryptsy before, but I will tell you again now:  There is a - very small - chance that I will consider using Cryptsy again some time in the future, if Cryptsy

* delists Paycoin
* distances itself from Paycoin in any way possible
* publishes a sincere apology for supporting the Paycoin fraud by listing Paycoin and accepting a prime "controller"

As long as that doesn't happen I won't touch your platform with a 10 foot pole. You can not be trusted.



Same here!  I withdrew every coin from cryptsy when they got in bed with Garza & I never looked back.  I was not going to take sides, but I'm afraid that there are tons of emails from cryptsy to GAWminers dating from WELL OVER a year ago.  Cryptsy got in bed with GAW & woke up...scammy, begging your pardon.
Your involvement was not all "POST Garza!"

BitJohn, Please explain how / why you would accept a Prime Controller & never use it.  
If it was a bad idea / conflict of interest /had a stigma, why accept it in the first place??
Inquiring minds want to know!

Oh the prime controller. We accepted it thinking we were helping the folks who got run over in that fiasco. We accepted it after the fact not during.

Ill talk to the boss again about delisting it. I still hold to the fact that the only people who hold the coin since are folks we would simply be harming by delisting it. But hey if it makes all you guys happy ill give it a shot with the boss man.

I personally don't care either way if you keep it or not but accepting a prime controller has got to be one of the worst decisions ever since the market also becomes the marketmaker, with high potential for angry customers. How would you even determine who gets the extra Coins and whether it's not the same people who were also dumping/manipulating the market? Why just pay Stakes to Paycoin and not all the POS Coin markets? How do we know that the Prime Controller was never used privately?

The road to hell was paved with good intentions....

I haven't had any withdrawal issues over the past month or two other than one of their main drives go down which was fixed within about 5-6 days.

As for the SEC, they are very likely targeting Cryptsy over the handling of Paycoin and would be more surprised if they weren't part of the ongoing investigation.

Do you have some of the withdrawl addresses from Cryptsy for the email dumps? I was trying to find them but was notoriously hard trying to sift through thousands of pages.

BTC withdrawal addresses:
1Ep5cvvkpnTPoiQgpC3UxkyckrVQSMxyTm  -- Received 544.6948 BTC
1J1AA6wH2t3CakE85fApkdUFRHBA7Y2zhC  -- Received 10.999 BTC

12AFAxed87rMEpzshF5bvwF4pvjjEXAGvs -- Received 469.44268501 BTC

Here's a couple interesting ones that link to these addresses, I'd like to see if we can pinpoint Josh's accounts.

1JsVdtXZHKnuzUihEjCPyRm5EEcxRjWGEh

Did you find these addresses from outputs of the above addresses, or are they from inputs to them?  Just curious - there are a LOT of coins right there!  Tongue

One thing I find fairly interesting is that they seem to be using the same type of mixer as scrypt.cc uses... or rather, scripts or whatever they use for the laundering. I also noticed some of that going on with the known hashie.co addresses a while back. Maybe the same people are involved in all 3 scams? I know that's a stretch, but seems a bit coincidental. I mean, what mixer can even handle that volume of coins?  None, they would have to be done slowly in chunks, right?  Huh

Someone selling the hashie.co domain here in the forum.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1179915.0

There is definitely a connection between GAWMiners & Hashie b/c Hashie was a member of Hashtalk & went fishing for victims among the kool-aid drinkers.  
In retrospect, anyone who was never banned on hashtalk.....is suspect.

They were addresses that were positive balances linked directly, funds that flowed in and out of the same address with a minimal amount of transfers that were not sent to an exchange.

The earlier one I had found was an account from way back that had linked to Josh, my opinion is that the scam goes deeper than Paycoin and that Josh was setting up a bunch of scam websites in order to make money off gullible people who have a habit of investing in Ponzi's.

I think Josh in behind hashie.co, scrypt.cc, xscrypt, and a number of Ponzi doubler sites. We have a number of the exit addresses from the email dump so could easily do a check among them, find similar addresses that group together and find out which sites are his and how deep this rabbit hole goes.

Do you guys think I will finally get the Prime Cuntroller from Crypsty that I won fair and square?  Cheesy  Cool

P.S: Looks like my conclusions reached by Blockchain research that massive amounts of Paycoins were being shuffled through/by Cryptsy were correct after all.

Hey I was looking through some old posts and came across this address I suspected as being part of Josh's wallet.

https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1KvMwu29AmUYEHKUHyeSkKZs26ZAprxAUv

There's a little graph there that pretty much reverse mirrors the drop in PayCoins price http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/paycoin2/

Also Coins flow directly funds an address belonging to a Ponzi BTC doubler site named GETxBTC.com

The noose begins to tighten.

http://coinfire.io/2015/10/04/federal-investigations-of-cryptsy-underway/



Coin Fire is now able to report that multiple federal investigations are underway regarding Crypsty.

The online exchange is under several investigations with multiple agencies including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service, among others.

Documents from various investigations obtained by Coin Fire show a litany of purported wrongdoing by the company and several team members. The large number of allegations levied against the company varies from agency to agency in more than 300 pages of documents. In some instances, the investigation alleges that the company failed to obtain appropriate licenses. In one particular instance, a connection is made between a Cryptsy team member and GAW Miners’ fraudulent operations. Other government agencies report a failure to report gains appropriately, market manipulation, the sale of unlicensed securities, money laundering, and more.

The document cache obtained by Coin Fire contains materials ranging from the Securities and Exchange Commission to the Department of Homeland Security. The earliest records in the cache against Crypsty contain minor investigations of wrong-doing and are dated prior to the larger investigation of Mr. Homero Joshua Garza and Mr. Carlos Garza; however, the information discovered during the GAW Miners investigation caused lead investigators from multiple organizations to begin scrutinizing Crypsty and its parent company, Project Investors, more closely. The investigation against Cryptsy intensified after a “PayCoin controller” was exchanged to the company and the two investigations began to run concurrently.

In one document, FinCen began to examine allegedly illegal transactions where money was being moved to accounts connected to suspected terrorists, but the investigation had since stalled. This document was set aside and ignored for several months until recent information indicated potential transactions with suspected terrorists. Later documents referenced this earlier FinCen document, with the most recent alleging that both Project Investors and Cryptsy were aware of an account on their platform being used by an individual with ties to banking watch lists and restrictions.

The documents also explore other allegations. In one report, an organization alleges that the company utilized automated trading software on a platform that directly benefitted Crypsty staff members. The report also alleges that a key Cryptsy staff member performed fraudulent transactions related to the movement of PayCoin by Mr. Garza.

Another document shows one organization beginning a probe of PayCoin’s blockchain history. This document alleges that Cryptsy was being used by Mr. Garza to disguise money movement for both him and his associates. Furthermore, the report claims that the company was aware of this movement and not merely complicit; this allegation is echoed by material within the document indicating that (1) staff member engaged in these fraudulent transactions and transfers, and directly engaged in market manipulation.

A wide variety of federal agencies have taken an interest in cryptocurrency companies over the last year, with many preparing for administrative actions and even criminal charges in early 2016. These agencies have been seen cooperating on several levels. One agent with the Securities and Exchange Commission told Coin Fire that they were,

"Looking at the worst offenders in cryptocurrency and would be closing in further on our unofficial “top ten” list of which Cryptsy and Project Investors will find itself to be in the Top 5."


the one and only good thing paycoin did was taking cryptsy with it. very good news

I hope cryptsy gets shutdown for helping Homero

Cryptsy just offering a way to trade Poopcoin in good faith.
Maybe they didn´t knew what scheme stands behind this coin to begin with.

If those leaked emails and the rumors are even 10% true they could get in trouble for supporting Money laundering scheme very easyly ?





Cryptsy makes a lot of money through the trade fees on a daily basis but they are a legal and registered entity within the United States so there is the real possibility of them being shut down (or atleast some very large fines) for knowingly allowing money laundering and fraud to happen through their system. You can't just cover your ears and close your eyes and pretend you don't know, it doesn't work like that.

Told ya....

They should have done what ShapeShift did and delist it when things started getting shady, it was a pretty bad idea to accept a Prime Controller and eventually it catches up when you take little shortcuts here and there.
269  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: r0ach vs DecentraliseEconomics/ BTS VS NXT/ My Junk vs Your Junk on: October 05, 2015, 09:09:39 AM
I like NXT but it has no monetization, I tried out the asset exchange but it has no known Coins being backed. I could see I could deposit BTC, but couldn't see if there was a way to withdraw any BTC?Huh So it was like circle jerking each other for NXT in colored Coins.

How does NXT monetize to pay for advances? I know DE hates that aspect of DPOS but it is quite effective in advancing the tech.

Thanks for your support Crestington. It is critical that this function operate because its the biggest part of how our coin operates. Its the most important feature for us, as when mining ends very soon, the top holders will be supplying the exchange with their POS rewards (if they want). So thats why its critical it work this way. I know its kind of strange, but nothing about this coin is normal.

Vegas

No, it's not strange at all, it's actually a much better way to do it when not having a Static reward because if you have a small reward you don't want the Fee to end up giving you a negative reward.

When it's all implemented, other POS Coins with flat % rewards are going to start adopting it for POS multipools.

I'm not quite sure what the point of a savings wallet would be if only able to send Coins to a wallet you control without Fees, and to send with Fees and want them high for normal transactions, but low for multi-send can't really be done in the way POS Coins and multi-send is currently setup. Fees for sending are there to limit spamming of the network, and provide extra income for those who hold the Coin, if it were super low then it would cost very little to bloat the network. I'm not sure I have an answer for what you want to do at the moment.

Edit: Nevermind, looked as presstab's repo and looks like he's already solved it lol

Mobile?

Seems like it's about ready, Sakr did Mobile for PayCon which was the equivalent of Linux on Android but did not have the paste function which was a huge hiner, 1 BTC though so fairly cheap. He showed me screenshots of his Android and IOS versions that would have instant sync but no Staking and said if I wanted that, it would be 5 BTC each or 10 BTC for both.
273  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Flycoin by Senior member Vegasguy (50% POS)/POW is now live!! +/-160k Sats on: October 04, 2015, 05:13:32 AM
I asked Presstab to look at the code and see if he can change the multisend fee to 0, as the main reason for this coin is to hold and sell only the stakes. The multisend feature is perfect for what we do, but a fee of .001 fly each transaction stake to send it to our "savings" wallet automatically, that wont work for us. I also asked him to raise the regular transaction fees to move funds to an exchange for example. Hopefully this will discourage people from moving around the coins all over the place. I have also asked Presstab to change superblocks and remove the minimum , making everyone eligible. Also I will be paying Presstab for his work in FLY, so for those of you that check my wallet for outbound transactions, youll see money going to Presstabs wallet (see richlist for his address). I just wanted to make that public.

Vegas

I think you could only do no fees if you own the private keys in which you are sending to but would disallow being able use multi-send to send to another wallet or exchange.

Guys Presstab is on top of this. The beta wallet he sent me does have multisend working. One important thing: you MUST keep your wallet unlocked until the stake fully matures, and then it will send it to your "savings" wallet. There is still one little thing I asked presstab to fix, and it is the fee for multisend, I feel that .001 to use multisend per stake is too high. I think its old code from Paycon. Anyway, everything is moving forward nicely.

Vegas

Multi-send uses the minimum fee for sending transactions but in the case of PayCon or HyperStake, the amount received would always cover the Fee.

What happened? Did this idea die?

Well, I just quit my job and I'm going to make this work. https://github.com/sfultong/bitcoin-spinoff-toolkit

No one ever published code to actually generate the snapshot file, did they? I'm thinking I'll have to fork bitcoin core for that, and make creating a snapshot file a command in bitcoin-cli.

I'm glad you wrote in your blog

Quote
We already have a blockchain indicating interest in cryptocurrency, and it's called bitcoin.

So many get it the wrong way around (swap "blockchain" with "cryptocurrency")

I had a conversation with Mullick and a few others about creating a snapshot. Supposedly the way it is done is to use a Blockchain parser and create a dump file of all the balances (https://github.com/znort987/blockparser has been recommended to me multiple times). Then you can create a new Coin with the same base58 key and then send Coins to the same addresses which can be redeemed with the same private keys.
278  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] BitShares 2.0 Pitchfork Date is October 13, 2015 on: October 02, 2015, 11:15:02 AM
because the new wallet is a web wallet (like Counterparty's).  They will just have to import their keys (from the existing 0.9.3 wallet) into the new web wallet or downloadable client which will be released later.

Ok sweet, thanks everyone for helping answer all my questions Smiley
279  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Overleveraged buffoon creates biggest Mexican standoff in Altcoin history on: October 02, 2015, 11:08:38 AM
I wanna figure out how Bitshares will be able to manage 100k TPS. Realistically, if it does what it says then it's the first Blockchain that can compete with Visa so 12-15 mil marketcap is nothing when you can run entire corporations on the Blockchain.

yawn... old news.. announced over a month ago..  Wait until you see what's coming out in November...zzzzzzz...

What's coming out in November?
280  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] BitShares 2.0 Pitchfork Date is October 13, 2015 on: October 02, 2015, 10:45:45 AM
they will have to run the new wallet, but their balances will all be there

How come it mentions about taking a snapshot on Tuesday then if you are just supposed to run the new wallet?
