121  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: IP check on: August 19, 2014, 07:25:15 PM
Is it possible to perform an IP check at this forum?
I know from one user that he has most probably many many accounts, and is launching a lot of scam coins with different accounts.
Would be good to have a list of all his accounts to be sure which coins you have to avoid.

Thanks!

The admins no longer do IP checks unless it's an official request from law enforcement.

You should avoid all altcoins, they are all scams in some form. It's already common knowledge on the forum that "coin devs" use tons of different accounts. The admins don't even want an altcoin section, this is BitcoinTalk, not AltcoinTalk.

blocks are NOT 100% full, there is plenty of space in all blocks to accept all transactions that appear in the period between each block. no one should be waiting more than 30 minutes to have a tx accepted. and on the very smallest of occasions, a few people may have to wait 20 minutes. (very few occasions)

I didn't say they were 100% full.

Lets say we time how long it takes a 1KB block vs a 500MB block to propagate the network. Lets say it takes 1 minute longer. That means that there is a 10% increased chance of an orphaned block if it is 500MB in size vs 1KB, because until it fully propagates another miner could publish a block causing theirs to orphan (this happens a lot more often than you think). An orphaned block will cost the miner 25BTC, so the miner is risking on average 2.5BTC for a full block vs an empty one. Why would they risk that for free? They are a business, they don't do things that cost them money for free.

secondly the reward is the reward. end of. they should not be compensated for ignoring transactions. the reward should be for allowing transactions(the whole point of making blocks(infact the whole point of what a blockchain/bitcoin is)). saying that miners should get a bonus for preventing the loss of a reward.... that is the weak and pathetic excuse miners give.

Not really. A lot of the blocks Satoshi mined are empty. They still add security to blocks below it. Transactions that are already in the blockchain will gain an extra confirm.

Bumping this post.

Why are the dox of theymos deleted, but not the dox of anyone else?

Because this is a privately owned forum and they can do as they please. They have said before that the rules are flexible. It usually isn't the best idea to post the dox on the accused's website. There are plenty of high SEO ranking websites that'll happily publish dox.

Do you want your dox deleted from here or something? I doubt they will do that considering the mountain of substantiated accusations against you. Maybe if you settle your debts with everyone or prove your innocence they will remove them. Although being hacked still justifies having your dox up as you are not capable of handling others funds so maybe they won't.

The field may seem editable, but it really isn't. The set fee is 0.0002. Blockchain's custom send allows you to set the fee, which is a huge advantage and freedom. Coinbase disgusts me for these types of reasons.

Ah right. So thats a coinbase thing. I'd recommend using a "real" wallet rather than a payment processor like Coinbase for many reasons, such as this. If you use Coinbase, you don't have any bitcoins, you have an IOU for certain amount of bitcoins from coinbase. They can get goxxed just as easy as Mt Gox.
125  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It costs $0.09 cents to send $0.24 cents of Bitcoin? Really? on: August 17, 2014, 10:54:29 PM
The TX fee for most transactions is usually 0.0001BTC. I don't know why coinbase are trying to charge you double.

The tx fee is not related to the amount you are sending, but related to how much network resources your transactions uses and how "spammy" the transaction looks. The purpose of fees is to prevent someone from spamming the network by sending the same BTC over and over between 2 addresses.

Try entering in 0.0001BTC in that field, it should confirm fine.
No it wont. i tried that...

With coinbase? Coinbase is not a wallet but essentially a payment processor so they might enforce their own fee rules. But you can send a transaction with any fee you like. There are miners still including free transactions, technically if you waited you could broadcast a tx without any fee and it'd probably be mined if it wasn't really large in size (i'm talking kilobytes not amount of BTC) or really spammy looking. I've never sent a tx with a fee over 0.0001BTC since the fee rules were changed and all my tx's have been included in the next block. With the old rules I used to never pay fees and never had any problems.
126  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It costs $0.09 cents to send $0.24 cents of Bitcoin? Really? on: August 17, 2014, 10:50:11 PM
if mining pools would simply accept the fact that they are rewarded with 25btc right now for their work and that extra fee's are something only needed in atleast 2 decades time and not now. then YOU will realise that the fee is not needed right now. and are given/ required, purely for greedy purposes

then in the uptopian dream of zero greed, bitcoin can be used for microtransactions without a large cut.

if mining pools would simply just accept transactions into blocks instead of ignoring them all the time, there would be no issues.

The amount of tx's that can go in a block is limited right now (well its by MB but thats essentially the same). Additionally full blocks DO take noticeably longer to propagate the network and do increase the risk of the block orphaning. Some miners take the risk and include free tx's for altruistic reasons, but most miners are running a business and they are not going to risk their 25BTC reward for free.

I have manned up and this is the best option making sure he can't ruin other peoples business's

Posting lies on the internet doesn't ruin a business. Try and find me one website that doesn't have negative stuff posted online about it. Every business has lies posted about them online. It's a part of doing business online. Ignore it! There is NOTHING you can do about it other than stop it by not reacting. When you react you typically make it worse. If you ignore it they will realize you do not care and stop.
130  Other / Meta / Re: I was stalked online to this forum. on: August 17, 2014, 04:46:19 AM
I see , but I come from a place that he has been since 2003 same year as me.

Ofcourse this man is not going to admit private things on the forum. IM glad this is coming out now cause he deserves it. I really hate saying that peopel deserve this and that. But my mothers vision coudl have been saved with the treatments that cost 1k per needle. And ofcourse i was aware i had a dental infection for over a year now built a poker website, realized that i would not make money the first 6 montsh to 12 months like all other business's

But he ruined it cause his wife was fucking other men most likely around his children. This does not give him a right to get loans blocekd Id odndt give a fuck what you think. Are you this bastards friend ?  


Im gonna pull and fish for so much info on this man, i beggd him to not stalk me and leave me alone. He didn't stop hell know what stalking is.

And if he posts my government name like he did the other forum or had his friend he claimed, Ill sue this fuckin forum for holding a medium for ebullying if he decides to post any pictures of me or my name. I will sue this forum and they will learn not to have him troll.

this man literally has told me my goal was to sabotage your loans and get you to kill yourself.....


All will come out soon

check out this website:
http://paypalsucks.com

Yet PayPal is still in business. EVERY business has to put up with fake slander. There are websites that you can pay who will put up fake reviews of your competitors. Everyone knows this hence why we don't believe everything we read online!

People can say whatever they like online. Ignore it! This is the internet. everyone has a voice.  Sue whoever you want, troll whoever you want, stalk whoever you want. As long as nobody listens then it doesn't matter, so stop listening to him and it'll end.

Please read what I wrote and understand it.
131  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: do bitcoin ATMs really suck this much? on: August 17, 2014, 04:34:21 AM
I was just looking for them not long ago for using Gyft to buy them. The $50 limit and fees made it unfeasible. Even moneypaks require ID. Maybe you can get some at a bank, I never tried that but I doubt a bank would do anything without ID.

Walmart has $200 mastercard ones for a $6 fee too. Might be workable if they don't ID, 3% isn't that bad really. Though it sounds like you want BTC -> Visa which is no good unless Walmart starts accepting BTC Wink

But the point is these seem fairly exploitable, yet we have all these ridiculous rules requiring fingerprint and ID scans to do the same thing with bitcoin.
132  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: do bitcoin ATMs really suck this much? on: August 17, 2014, 04:28:50 AM
Yes you can buy them online for larger amounts, but ID is required.

How to Purchase
Order a Gift Card online in any amount from $25 to $500. Or, visit any ACUTX location to purchase gift cards in any amount from $25 to $ 1,000.

I've bought these from plenty of gas stations and never been ID'ed (though not ones so large). I doubt they will ID you, it doesn't say they do on the website.
133  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: do bitcoin ATMs really suck this much? on: August 17, 2014, 04:26:12 AM
In Texas $50 is the largest.

Quick Google search says you can buy a $1,000 one from Acutx Credit Union in Austin, Tx:

https://www.acutx.org/account-services/convenience/visa-gift-card

It doesn't specifically say but I don't think you need to provide ID. You can order a $500 value card from them online too. I'm sure you can get them in other places in Texas too. You can definitely buy $1,000 value visa gift cards from gas stations in other places in the US.
134  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: do bitcoin ATMs really suck this much? on: August 17, 2014, 04:21:11 AM
There is a $4.95 fee for a $50 card. If you buy $600 worth of cards you will pay $59.40 in fees.

Actually you can buy higher value cards for a lesser percentage fee than that. The largest one I've seen at a gas sation is $1,000 value though I don't remember the fee offhand. I'm sure the fee varies depending on the retailer, but they're not that expensive.

But thats beside the point. The point is you can buy these gift cards at any gas station anonymously (no personal information required), but you can't buy bitcoin from an ATM without fingerprint and ID scans due to AML. Why is that? The risks of misuse are almost exactly the same.
135  Other / Meta / Re: I was stalked online to this forum. on: August 17, 2014, 03:38:36 AM
Again I understand but my website was slandered and sabotaged out of his personal distaste for me and not for right reasons.

Him being moderator and doing the things he's doing and acting the ways hes acting is saying its ok to be abused here by the people that run the website.

VOD is NOT a moderator!

Anyone can say whatever they like online, only a fool would believe everything they read on the internet. Ignore it and it'll eventually go away. There is nothing you can do about it, any possible damage is already done. Even if he removes his posts they will stay on the internet, you can't delete things from the internet permanently. Ignore him and he will stop.

PS. Vod is single and I think he has been for a long time. I don't think he was ever married though I'm only concluding that off of subtext.
136  Other / Meta / Re: I was stalked online to this forum. on: August 17, 2014, 03:33:03 AM
ANYONE THAT NEEDS THE CHATROOMS HE IS IN ALL THE TIME PLEASE PM ME, I WILL ALSO GIVE YOU THE NAME OF HIS HACKER TEAM AND THE LINK TO THERE ROOM ON ARES P2P SOFTWARE.

Why don't you save people time and post them here along with the proof that it is Vod.

If you have proof to back up your claims I'm sure people would rethink having Vod in their trustlist.
137  Other / Meta / Re: I was stalked online to this forum. on: August 17, 2014, 03:26:33 AM
Thats not the point sir.

THe point is a serial stalker is a moderator on this forum.

And abusing his power.

Vod is not a moderator and has no special power above any other user on this forum.

Some users have added him to their trustlists and eventually Vod was automatically added to the DefaultTrust list because enough people already in the list did this, so his feedback shows up more prominently. You can add me (or anyone else) to your trustlist and the feedback I leave others will show up more prominently for you and eventually I may make it into the DefaultTrust list. Additionally you can remove the DefaultTrust list and Vods feedback won't show up for you. Vods feedback does not show up for me for example (along with a lot of other people mainly because I don't know them well enough to know if they accurately fact check before leaving feedback).

See here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust


But the trust system is unmoderated so everyone takes (or at least should) whats written there at face value and not fact. Just because Vod says it doesn't mean it's true.
138  Other / Meta / Re: I was stalked online to this forum. on: August 17, 2014, 03:12:36 AM
He's only posting stuff on the internet. If you think thats bad, take a look at what 4chan does to complete strangers.

Grow a thicker skin, people on the internet will post whatever they like even if its complete lies. The only way to make it stop is to ignore it. Try and laugh at it.

About the loan, check the previous threads in the lending section, its almost impossible to get a loan above $1,000 from strangers on the internet. It hasn't happened here in a LONG time. Even loans for much less than that are WAY more difficult to get here then from a bank.

One could borrow multiple IDs to do multiple transactions? I guess

The hand scanner does nothing to prevent the situation where mtultiple people collude to bypass the limit. They could also ask whoever they are getting the ID's from to scan their hand as well.
140  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: do bitcoin ATMs really suck this much? on: August 17, 2014, 02:44:01 AM
ETA: Actually, Idunno if anyone does BitInstant's model anymore, but going to 7/11 or whatever and filling out a WU-like form might be the better option. I don't remember what all was involved with that, but IIRC, it wasn't very invasive.

What about those little prepaid visa gift cards in 7/11?



They don't require ID scans or fingerprints to buy. In fact they don't require any personal information at all, they are technically anonymous.

I wonder if regulations allow for someone to make a Bitcoin version, if not, then won't those visa cards be used by "terrorists" to launder money too?
