Sounds right to me but at this point i have the feeling i never knew him. I mean selling this account with all the impersonation features is practically a scam itself. So if that happened then he would have had no problems escrowing that too.

I think nobody will doubt you anymore ever after you paid back the thousands of bitcoins that were invested in the old just-dice. I think there is no better proof of your honesty than you being able to scam for huge riches you probably never will hold again and not doing it. Clear sign of character.

That's a point i can't believe again. Who in their right mind would sell a forum account including wallet that maybe contains 10 bitcoins for 1 or 2 bitcoins? It's pathetic to believe that this could have happened. So stupid can nobody be. Especially not an escrow who is trained to sniff out potential scams.

No, beyond possible.

That's exactly how i think too. If someone can do such a thing and sleep well with it, i don't get it. You have to know what will happen and you betray a lot of people then.

A shortage of money is no excusion. He could have scam himself too and earn more so it might be he thought there is no risk but i REALLY can't imagine this. Especially escrows are trained, for their own good, in finding potential scams. He not realizing what could happen is beyond possible. So at this point it sounds like an excuse.

Can it be that he screwed up and lost his wallet without having it backed up? This could explain the unmoved coins. Still, for someone providing escrow being so careless would not be ok.

From every angle i look at, it sounds like an excuse. Or can the staff confirm a noticeable change around the time of claimed sale of account?

In any way, master-P failed miserably. It doesn't matter really if he scammed himself or allowed others to scam. He very well had to know that nobody pays months worth of money to live when he is a honest person. Even if he would think he sells to a honest person, it simply is not acceptable to sell an account that even escrows. In my opinion if there is a doxx for the real master-p then he would be legally liable for what he did. And possibly liable for damages happening for allowing someone to impersonate him. I mean if you own a bank and allow a scammer to take in the user funds then who will be prosecuted? The scammer and the one allowing the scam. I think he can't get out of this easily. What a stupid thing to do if he really sold the account.

1 Bitcoin only? That sounds like a joke.

Did the behaviour of the account change at the claimed selling date?

Regarding the allowing of account sales... it really is better that it is allowed. The thing is when it would be forbidden then it still would happen. All communication would happen outside of the forum. But by allowing it the mods can clearly see everything going on. That is better than having no clue at all.

It's really a pain. It seems the number of people i really trust on here goes down constantly.

Sorry that i don't have the time to read the full thread but is the sale of the account confirmed? The real master-P was a great guy so it would be pretty bad when he would have sold his account because it would make him himself a scammer. He would know that the buyer can impersonat him now and he would be liable to damages in my eyes. It would be a pretty dumb move if he acted that way.

He would have allowed a stranger and possible scammer to impersonate him. He would not be able to speak himself out of this then.

It has potential for sure. But the risks are there too. I can see bitcoin dropping in price very much when governments around the world should decide that bitcoins would be illegal. A currency only can survive when it can be used. If acceptance is forbidden then it would be a big problem for the price. So i consider holding bitcoins not as the buy and forget investment many think it is. There are simply too many politicians against it.

In fact it should be the same risk if you hold bitcoins or fiat. The advantage of holding fiat is that the value is stable to the outside. You will be able to buy the same amount of food in some weeks too.

Holding fiat while the price is rising will only lose you potential profit if you would have hold bitcoin.
Holding bitcoin while the price is dropping will bring you real loss in real world value. And bitcoin dropped heavily in the last year too.

So i would consider holding bitcoins not being the safest way.

Right, that might be. It might be they take the leaked database from the bitcointalk.org hack and check if the email addresses are still valid that way. Then they send out "double your investment hourly" emails.

Ideally one would only use signature campaigns as a side income for getting paid for posts he does anyway. Though at the end you end up with spending more time than you wanted by reading new posts and being able to post some more. Not really the best way since when you calculate the hourly reward then it is not really very rewarding.

You realize that you will win when people lose and you are invested? I think a lot of people in this thread don't know the difference of investing into dice site and gambling at a dice site. Gambling can never be a investment. Except maybe in things like poker where you might be able to have an advantage.

I thought he actually shipped those hashfast miners out. For those who agreed to receive those instead. Well it is probably too long ago.

The gox coins... i can only say when i remembered that gox coins should exist when i saw that victims of mtgox should claim them then that was the time when ken logged into the forum again when i wrote about that in this thread here. It looked like he wanted to claim them so the community acted fast and informed haggerty, if i remember his name right, who is the executioner of activemining or so. He found it interesting and surely would have approached the trustee who will pay out the victims. So i'm sure when there are coins then these coins will flow back. At least 20 to 25%. Ken had claimed they were there because he misused mtgox as a wallet. At that time it was relatively common since exchanges going down was nothing usual.

Surely intellihash was some stupid code optimization that would not have been able to bring in such amounts of profits to make it worth it.

It seems to depend on the market too. Even more it depends on if you are from a foreign country because the buyer would have to wait longer for the coins and if you include shipping costs or not.

That's right. Though unfortunately, when you have alot of shares of a security and you can't sell it then you are at the mercy of the issuer if he wants to move to another market. If he doesn't then you are forced to use cryptostocks. And if you have enabled to get emails when a withdrawal is requested then you are fucked.

So they would send out phishing mails or other scammails then? Since when they would try to login then my account surely would be banned for some minutes so that the automatic login tries can't be successfull. Though nothing like that happened.

I have 2FA, for all websites where i have lying something of value at one time, activated anyway.

I wonder what they want to do with it.

There is no support. Kumala the owner does not react on anything you send him. I wonder if he will fix the missing email function for users. That brings trouble to alot of people.

I tend to believe that it will go down. There is simply no power in the market for anything other. I'm not a pro trader yet though.

Looks like i did not find the time to post much this week. Christmas is somewhat creepy.

Right, hm, i have no idea what it could be good for then. Maybe someone had his hand on their mailserver or something like that? I had no problems logging in though. And btc-e has no coins from me anyway.

You too missed the word "investing". He did not speak about gambling, that would be risky but investing is not so risky. At least if you use old and established dice sites to invest your bitcoins into.
