Economy / Services / Re: 20 BTC bounty for finding Jason Boyko (Pbmining)

Time is up for you Jason Boyko!
I`m offering 20 bitcoins reward for the person who finds Jason Boyko or another guys who was working with Pbmining.com.
This reward will be paid only when Jason Boyko is found and he has paid the the (lost) bitcoins.
We know you are still here in the forum, so better not to hide anymore, I`ll find you!
No people can't do it, trust me . it's very difficult to find it, and more difficult to make him pay your lost people can do it if there's a wanted poster of them all over the internet. there's bound to be some acquaintances that will gladly sell his information for 20 BTC. though the bounty have to be given to an escrow first. getting him to pay everyone's losses however won't be easy. |

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
1. When I press login the browser is thinking and just sents me to the index page (not even the login page), there is no message displayed or even a pop up.
try logging in from here >> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=login22. A potential ban. I understand there is sig. spamming happening here, but I consider myself nor the post spam posts. While ontopic i always try to contribute and share my knowledge.
ontopic? sure. but how do you see your posts that was reported on the other thread as contributing? you're just posting "bitcoin is real money because you can buy many things" again and again. that's low quality posting. |

how can i join signature campaign.. ? for how long i should wait to become a jr member ?
you will become a Jr member in 2-3 weeks provided that you make a post in the next 2 activity periods and have 30 activity. there's a thread in meta that have a spreadsheet listing all start dates of the activity periods. meanwhile you might want to read the rules so that you don't get banned before you reach Jr Member. |

Sorry to jump into the middle of the flame war, but I'll bet that the reason those accounts are posting so many times in the same thread (in this case, the "Is Bitcoin Real Money to you?" one) is because they're being bought and sold and each time, the owner picks the thread out as easy money, post there as well as a few other places, and then sells it. Rinse and repeat.
that is not a good excuse. when you're buying an account you're also buying all of its posts. besides the threads icons will have a tiny face on it if you've posted in that thread (ctrl+f "Topic you have posted in" inside a board.). also I doubt the mods cares if an account is bought or not when looking for spammers. but that one's just my speculation. |

bitcoin have died many times already. the ones who's thinking that bitcoin just died and will never rise again think of it as those short-living ponzi schemes. this is not true because bitcoin was made to last for decades and not just as an investment but as a currency.

you can probably see with some search that i don't know how to sign btc addresses. i've posted asking about it before.
also if you can find someone with first name geoffrey, middle name q. last name p. then i guess...? i think it's a bit much though.
you can learn how to sign a message by reading shorena's thread How to sign a message?!. names means nothing because changed password might mean changed ownership (hence the suspicion). if you still can't sign a message just use escrow. can you change usernames? did i just magically find an account with my name. like seriously, the letter Q!! anybody actually interested in buying pm me, i can probably get someone with even higher trust than i to vouch that they sent to my name. and i can show you my passport/webcam etc. any other forum police, unless your a mod. please stop being annoying. unless i see in your feedbacks, that you can actually trade the amount of $ i'm looking to transact, it's just wasteful of everyone's time. i can just buy on bitquick if i'm desperate for a trade. just keeping this open to save money if someone has it. you don't get it, do you? it doesn't matter that your username is your real name. anyone can still hack your email and reset your password, then come to this forum and scam someone with your name. I'm not accusing you of anything. all I did was explaining the why's and how's. how is that annoying? |

ok just finished running every diagnostic tool I can find on hiren boot CD (damn that took long). RAM and CPU are ok. found some error on disks but was quickly fixed. core still crashes. Following up from knightdk how much memory do you have on the system? Is this Windows XP Professional or not? A guess is that you are running a 32 bit version of Windows XP and you may just be running out of memory.
professional 32bit, yes. if by memory you mean RAM, my RAM is 2GB and I've tried terminating every unneeded processes before starting core. I'll try installing older versions and see if they works. ====================================================== version 0.11.1 works. I'll just use this until I find a solution. |

running XP SP3 (yeah). installed core in an external HD.
I don't think it's the banlist.dat or write permission issues. sometimes I get past the opening and it crashes when I exit or while it's reindexing the blockchain. I even did a complete uninstall using revo uninstaller but it still doesn't work.

Money laundering with fees? Doesn't really make much sense, the person cannot be sure what pool would mine the block and get the fees.
Bob just includes the transaction in every block Bob attempts to mine and Alice doesn't send the TX to the network until Bob has found a block.
There's a small risk another miner will find a block at the same time, but really all bob needs is a way to communicate with Alice that Bob solved the block to trigger Alice to send the TX out to the network at the same time Bob releases his block to the network.
read the rest of the post and you'll probably understand. this means that alice and bob is the only people who knows about the transaction until it confirms because alice won't relay it to the rest of the network. of course in this case it would mean that Bob have ties with F2Pool. but like I said, maybe.  |

Ouch that is horrible, hope F2Pool return it and be good Samaritans. But that's unlikely to happen I guess. :\
maybe. what's odd is that so far nobody have come forward and ask F2Pool to kindly return the 15 btc or even a portion of it. we know that this have happened in the past and on half of it the miners were reasonable enough to return the fee. maybe what AliceWonderMiscreations said is true and this is a money laundering. maybe. |

I WAS VICTIM OF A SCAM: somebody appropriated of my identity and made a transaction in bitcoins. Fortunately i was refunded by my skrill and took control of the account on this forum (thanks to terrytangm who posted me a link to "my" false request of bitcoins on this forum (of wich i ignored the existence). Now i ask you to help me identifying who made the scam. In "my" pm i found a link of the transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/6d49b28830ab9410de9e3b8c9918e556a91e8d7227e06d5e8e422b89668080a3Please help me thanks. Alessandro De Rosa it's not possible for normal users to identify a scammer just from a transaction ID/btc address if they never post it in public. even the FBI would have to use everything they have to do this. I'm sorry to say this, but you most likely will never know who took the money. |

Hey,
Can you explain this with a little bit more detail....Maybe, provide some reference links that we can peruse. It's an interesting application problem, indeed. Are you saying that those who use a console to push their transaction, rather than the GUI, are more likely to make this mistake?
https://coinb.in/#newTransactionwhen someone create a transaction, any btc from the input(s) that is not spent on the output(s) will become the fee. so if you have an input of say 10 BTC and create a single output of 5 BTC or 2 outputs of 2.5 BTC, the rest 5 BTC will be set as the fee. that's why all of the bitcoin transactions spends the rest of the btc to a change address, or the same address, or neither but spends everything. |

I'm looking at it and wow! Four confirmations....ouch....Is there any imaginable way to reverse that transaction or remedy it in anyway? Could it have been on purpose? Some ledger manipulation thing or something, or was just fat fingered?
whoever mined block #400893 and collected the fee can return them if they choose to do so. bitfury did that in the past. (someone correct me if I'm mistaken.) don't know if that was just a mistake or not. |

I just came across this site in google but I never heard of it before and I've never seen it associated with the .com before. It is a clone and to me appears to be a phishing site. The chat box information seems to be dated as well.
I certainly won't ever attempt to login unless BTC-e.com verifies them as legit.
What do you think it is?
that's the mirror (is that what you call it?) for the russians, if I'm not mistaken. I remember reading about it somewhere. of course people should avoid entering your account information from there just in case. |
