General opinion of what? That it is a serious indicator of fraud, if a business owner lies/presents "alternative" facts. The example you cherry picked is completely irrelevant as we're talking about facts vs fiction. Wire fraud vs some guy who wants to look oldschool.
"cherry picked" makes it sound like i chose this case out of several, for its specific benefits to my argument. That is untrue, it is in fact the only such case i know of. Nonetheless, the sentiment was clear. I did not know of any wire fraud though, i haven't bothered studying the incident. You mentioning wire fraud, but omitting document forgery/impersonation is something i don't get. I respect that you think you know everything and that your assumptions are correct, but I'd definitely argue that the general opinion here is that you have absolutely no idea what he wants to do by proving he is oldschool into Bitcoin.
Now who is flaming?  edit: Just remembered the arbitao signature campaign was stopped by the manager after users pointed out that old images (big ben not in scaffold) was presented as if they were taken in a period where big ben was scaffolded. |

To be honest, even using it to convince somebody of something isn't a big scam if there is no victim. Maybe they just need it for credibility so somebody will take them seriously with some project they can perform. Kind of like people lying on a resume. Sure it's dishonest, but as long as they can fulfill the job it is victim-less.
Somebody may want to know why they're using it before selling them an address, that's fine. But to flame this guy for wanting to have an old address to look like an early adopter when there's no proof of scamming seems immature.
You mean just like it went down with Atriz? A signature campaign turned red as blood, after it was disclosed that raised funds mentioned heavily in marketing, was in fact just made up numbers. I respect that you are voicing your opinion, but i'd definitely argue that the general opinion here is different from yours. |

Just because they have a red tag for trying to buy an account months ago does't mean they're trying to pull some scam by buying an early address. It's pretty weird but honestly how is an old address going to convince anybody of anything. You could probably mine addresses for a day and hit an old address that was used.
Well, the level of knowledge bitcoin users have varies wildly. My theory is that OP wants an early address that is not gonna show up in search results so that a potential victim won't be able to easily know that anyone could impersonate the address. If someone convinced me that they controlled a private key from 2013 or before, I wouldn't think twice about them saying they possess lots of BTC from cheap prices, even if the address does not contain those coins. Think of the typical (but surprisingly effective) nigerian prince scam. He has lots of BTC, but for some reason needs you to help him access them or maybe invest for him, and its just pennies for him since he is a millionaire in my mind. |

It is exactly what you are asking dude.
And it only solidifies suspicions.
I advise you to rephrase your topic appropriately:
paying to impersonate early BTC adopters
and reap the red tags accordingly.

So why don't you share that fully legitimate reason to buy a compromised (useless) bitcoin address with tx's from years ago?
Because the way i utilize addresses related to my business would be useless. simple. I don't even know what you are trying to say with that sentence. So no, it is not simple lol. Do you feel the way your "business" use the addresses that you want to buy, is "useless" for us to know? It shouldn't be when people voice concerns that you may be attempting to pull off a scam. Then you should share your intentions, to clear up suspicions. In any case, this is my bitcoin address for payment: 1LXZzPTfRZNBGtndbPxibzSwoVjZRGnGqiand here is what you are buying: pub: 1EHNa6Q4Jz2uvNExL497mE43ikXhwF6kZmpriv: 5HpHagT65TZzG1PH3CSu63k8DbpvD8s5ip4nEB3kEsreAnchuDfI'll settle for 0.002 bitcoin, after all, i did spend a whole 60 seconds on this detective work. |

--snip-- Oh! So you suddenly consider to think that there might be a legitimate reason to buy old bitcoin address!  What a change of mind. You just mark it with a "lie" keyword. Anyway this is funny and i dont know why i'm even continuing this conversation. Must be bored on weekend. I assume most people flaming here dont have anything to offer - based on received messages. At the end -> Who wants to sell will sell, who doesn't... wont. Simple. You do realize you have been tagged for this, right? So why don't you share that fully legitimate reason to buy a compromised (useless) bitcoin address with tx's from years ago? That is what a legitimate buyer would do after accusations like such. |

I believe that he may use our Bitcoin addresses for some bad activities. How can you use bitcoin addresses for bad activities? What activities? How can you even be "badly" active with bitcoin addresses? lol. I think what concerns most people in this thread is, why do i want to buy old empty addresses. There's no secret money-making schema or anything like this, sorry to dissapoint you. Answer is: i need to prove to be bitcoin user in early ages in one of cases i'm working on. That's it, the whole mystery. And let me just highlight: There's no secret money-making schema or anything like this, sorry to dissapoint you. Answer is: i need to prove to be bitcoin user in early ages in one of cases i'm working on. That's it, the whole mystery. So, why do you need to prove your an early user of Bitcoin? I cannot think of anything other than making a false claim to swindle money out of someone. So if this is not the case, then please elaborate on what you need it a 'legacy' address for? There are plenty of exposed addresses you can find privkey for too. Problem is (for you) they are easily identified as compromised, i guess. As you just chose to ignore above i for one am hoping Mr. TradeFortress takes up that bet. I truly wonder what lie you could tell that would legitimize your request. |

Love the random use of cats in your company branding.
I'd really love to see "benefit" spelled correctly on your website before ordering any Ph.d's from you though.. ;-)
Also, did you just share the secret of writing essays, while marketing your essay-writing services?

I've left negative feedback. Hopefully he will resolve it next time he logs on.

the one and only luck you will have with this site is when you will leave the exchange and go to some good exchange that offers a fine service even if it costs you your kyc.
learned this from many bad past experiences. stay away from cryptopia.
Cryptopia is definitely one of the lesser ranked altcoin exchanges you can access, however their CEO has just started using youtube as means of communicating for the platform, and hopefully this indicates a lot more effort in listening to users, and making cryptopia a professional platform for traders rather than the current NSFW-ridden chat, mostly spurred on by moderators. I am minimizing my exposure to cryptopia, but will be unlikely to remove it from my bot entirely, unless current state worsens. |

HI. First off a little context.
I'm getting a lot of interest in my services (Great!) However the reason I gave up freelancing was because people would claim to be interested in hiring me (and have sufficient funds) lead m down a rabbit warren of extensive q&a, only to find out that they didn't have the money. Now bitcoin with the ability to sign and verify message should allow an easy way to verify people have control of a wallet with enough funds. However people seem reluctant and non forthcoming.
I see two possibilities
1) They are lying and don't have the funds. 2) I'm asking in the wrong manner and they think I'm trying to impersonate them rather than verify they do own the account. So how do you or would you ask? Is there any kind of common term used in the crypto community? Please stake your signature? Send a verifiable message to me? Prove ownership?
Even if they verify control of sufficient funds, you still have to rely on them actually paying. Wouldn't an escrow solve your issues? If you don't know the exact cost of your work, then have them escrow a minimum, at the very least, or perhaps even more than eventually required. Escrow could simply return any funds that are in excess. This way, you know they have at least the amount in escrow, and will have a neutral third party to rely on making the payment. There are plenty of trusted escrows, even some who don't take a fee. |

Hey man, I delivered the SPRTS article as agreed and are still awaiting payment.
It seems you have been ignoring my PM's, so i'll try here before doing anything drastic.
He'll pay up, I think he's probably very busy with other stuffs. Yeah, seems so from last posts I'm not too worried, it's only 5 dollars after all. |

Haha ja, den havde jeg ikke lige gennemskuet. Fik indtryk af det foregik automatisk, og det link springer ikke ligefrem i øjnene på en  Har fundet det og claimet mine første coins! |

Har oprettet en adresse for faucet coins, og lavet 1 trade eller mere men har ikke modtaget nogle 'drips' i 6-8 timer  Nogle faucet balances er lavere end drip amount men der er adskillige der holder rigeligt med coins. Hvordan ser det ud for dig? |
|
|
|
Det går ihvertfald stærkt nu Jeg er lidt nysgerrig omkring hvad tankerne har været vedr. det faucet system. Hvorfor netop de coins blev valgt, og om der nogensinde vil være en "ikke-shitcoin" på listen. Min kammerat joket med at det var en genial måde at komme af med sine "bags" til gengæld for bruger engagement |

For instance, if you've got a 1000 word document in english, i will translate into perfect spanish for 0,1 BTC.
isn't that a crazy high rate? i doubt anyone wanna pay 0.1 bitcoin for translating 1000 words. it seems so high to me. edit: haha,nvm. got necro-baited. apologies |

Ok, I have PM-ed everyone who expressed their interest I can offer you consulting on best-practices from users perspective, and can also write an official python implementation of your exchange API for you to provide your users. Best of luck with it, we can never have too many crypto exchanges hehe |
