I'm offering escrow for free but that doesn't mean that i pay the fees. If i get 1 Bitcoin into escrow and i don't receive a tip with it then the seller can only receive 1 Bitcoin minus fee obviously.

Free escrow doesn't mean that i don't get tips. In fact free escrows might even get more than escrows with a fixed fee since users have to think about a tip for themselves. Even though some don't tip there are some who will tip more, simply because they like the fact that you don't demand a fee or to show their appreciation of the service.

And if you check out my servicethread at [ANN] SebastianJu - Free Legendary Escrow Service - Escrowed over 8150 BTC then you can see that i did not scam even when i could have been rich by doing so potentially.

I started to offering escrow because i was scammed way too often and i don't like scammers because of that. In order to help others protect themselfes and stop scammers i could do this VERY often already. That's pleasing in itself and getting tips additionally is nice.


I think for that sum it really would be best to have a network of highly trusted escrows involved. Something like 4 of 5, similar to the escrow network suggested by grtthegreat. It would be highly unlikely that a scam can happen then.

I could provide my real identity but would do so only after i learn to know the company who wants to buy. In fact i doubt this is a real offer, a company could simply buy their coins on an exchange, except they need to hide some black money or so that they would need to hide from official investigations. Being involved in this with your real identity sounds might be pretty risky legallywise. The same goes when you would receive fiat on your bank account. It could come from phished bank accounts and you would be forced to pay it back to the bank accounts it was stolen from. Then you would need to hope the bitcoin seller has given his real identity. Because you would need to get it back from him then.

Anyway, if this is real i would check it out.

So where should i put my buywall then?

Though i don't really see your words being true. I mean you are named VultureFund so what you want to do is holding clams. You can't profit from a dropping clamprice except someone lent out a big amount of clams to you. Which i would doubt.

So in fact i think you will buy cheap clams, that's all. You won't bother selling clams for a low price only to push the price down.

Isn't the weight only the full clams? So 2.9353434 clams would have a weight where part of the weight calculation takes the amount of clams into account, but only as the full amount of clams on that address? Which means it would be 2 for 2.9... Or was it the value of the inputs on this address that were changed to integers?

Edit: Ah ok i see your previous post before my post. Seems it doesn't take integers. I wonder if i had this idea from another pos-coin.

If you are interested in that i would suggest trying out clam investments in justdice. The profit comes from the gamblers losing and from staking on top. For testing purposes you can invest a small amount only too.

By the way, you can set your investment so that you claim that you invested 100 times more than you actually really have. That way your risk is rising when big bets are played but also your chance of winning bigger parts of the house profits are rising.

You only need to have a look at the bitcoin price because clams hold their value and are traded in bitcoin. So that when the bitcoin price is dropping and clam price normally stays the same, then your claims are worth less fiatwise. Of course when bitcoin is rising then your value goes up additionally.

You can check it out with a small amount and let it lay there for a month. Set it to /offsite max in the chat so that you have 100 times more invested than you have too. Then check out the results.

He wrote about trading, you about gambling. And normally it should not be possible that a dice site owner makes you lose. Provably fair means the gambler can check if the owner is doing something shady or not.

Danke!

Was ich mich frage ist wie kompliziert es für einen Neuling wäre das zu nutzen. Auf jeden Fall könnte man die Public Keys im Thread anbieten und ein Tutorial dazu wie der Interessent eine Adresse erstellen kann. Müsste man schauen ob das jeder einfach hinkriegt oder ob er davon abgeschreckt wird.

In jedem Fall, MrLehmann, wenn du daran Interesse hast gib Bescheid und ich würde mitmachen.

Didn't realize that possibility. Thats a good way then. Unfortunately probably only for experinced users because newbies very rarely will have private keys being stored somewhere. But it might be a good advice for newbies to back up a private key of an unused or empty address when creating a wallet.

Experienced users probably will run rarely into that situation. Making backups is probably something experienced users already had to learn so a lost password might be rarely happening for them.

If they are still owned by the same people then it's strange that vircurex still runs fine while cryptostocks is abandoned. At least they should have asked the issuers to move the stocks to vircurex then.

Yes, it sounded to me like there might have been an electrum wallet installed already. The wallet files were still there so only the electrum.exe was deleted and now after reinstall the old wallet was used again. Which was encrypted.

Portable is better. No strange storage locations and full control about everything that is part of a program.

The last info i received is that a big shareholder and the issuer will speak about counterparty, maybe even in the next hours. I hope they will set up everything, in fact it might be likely since it is sooo very easy to handle counterparty. It would be harder to explain it than simply doing it.

Well, some people want a "fee market" really badly. As if the miners will stop mining when we don't raise the fees that have to be paid. In fact we could drop 99% of the hashrate and the network still would be secure. That we have 100 times more mining than needed only shows how well paid mining is. No need for a fee market at all.

Well, there is no alternative to support at the moment.

If you know what to do then it is not the same as gambling. It is betting on something but you have a higher chance to win than to lose over time. The opposite to gambling at a casino where you are at a disadvantage.

Though it takes a long time until one can predict the price movements good enough to raise the chance to predict the price movement correctly. In general the bigger timeframes are easier to predict.

In no way there is still a working company alive. They are dead in so many ways. Your hope is hopeless for sure.

I wonder what the police would find out when they investigate all the people that were near friedcat. Someone has to know something i think.

Danke für die ausführliche Erklärung. Das mit den öffentlichen/privaten Schlüsseln war mir noch nicht so klar gewesen.

Mir scheint die Unterschiede wären:

A und B müssen ein Schlüsselpaar erstellen.

Ansonsten gibt es keinen Mehraufwand für die beteiligten Parteien. Ich gehe davon aus dass PM's ohnehin geschrieben werden und da einen Schlüssel einzufügen ist kein Aufwand.

Unterschied zu jetzt wäre noch dass MrLehmann/MrDJ jeweils ein Schlüsselpaar pro Escrow erstellen müssten. Oder nein, vielleicht reicht ein Schlüsselpaar um verschiedene Escrowadressen zu erstellen? Dann würde der Käufer praktisch seine Escrowadresse selbst erstellen und die Arbeit würde darin bestehen sie jeweils bei E und B im Wallet zu importieren.

You sounded pretty serious. Hm... well, as long as you know it's normal and no scammy behaviour then it's fine.

I wouldn't suggest that. You won't break even with them. I tried with the smallest packages a year ago or so.

Besides, you post reflinks practically.

I escrow accounts when they are worth at least $50. The work you have to invest in order to not get scammed as an escrow or to prevent the buyer from being scammed otherwise doesn't match the risk of lower valued accounts. At one point in time i accepted all account escrows and it took hours per day only doing that... for a very limited usefullness.

I believe the profits from lending out on bitfinex are higher than on poloniex. There is a free bot on the forum too. MarginBot. He can automatically lend for the best possible rates.

No, check my previous post. He did not speak out a secret, normally every gambler knows that the house has a small advantage. "The house always wins" means only that at the end, after thousands of bets, the house for sure will have more money than it had before.

That was never a secret.

I wonder how that could work. Imagine he receives a wallet containing claimed 100 Bitcoins. He tries to open it, but can't. Then how can he get the escrow funds back? He can claim he deleted the wallet but still, it could be possible that he gets the escrow funds back and then suddenly the 100 bitcoins vanish from the wallet he claimed he couldn't bruteforce.

I would not accept such an escrow. Or at least make the risk clear to the one with the blocked wallet. If he understands and agrees that i can't be held responsible for that risk then i might do it.
