That img is used by a lot of sites, impossible to find only with google. Yu have to find the firsts img posted in web(google) an the ask for her to whom uploaded the foto...just very near to the stalkingXD

Yeah a lot of results on google, and it would be impossible to find it, you have to download a lot of photos of her where ever they're posted and then check the image metadata and it might tell you that where was it taken originally. It's a lot of work and you might still not find anything because most sites clean it up before putting it up but it's worth an effort if you must find her.

....

If you find her exact image and a name you still cannot be certain it's her because she might have a twin.

Lol, yeah didn't think of that.

At present i am on mobile so only after reaching office i can provide that. And if its ok for you i can forward the PM to you

It's ok when you get to the office you can provide PM screenshots and signed messages. You don't need to send them to me but just post them here and let the community decide whether your claims are legit or not.

And its the email he mentioned on the thread

Which thread, I can't find it on the thread you mentioned and he has edited the Original post there on 10th May, so that is suspicious activity.

I don't understand why you even bothered to buy a twitter account for 1.2 btc, they can be created free and there are ways of getting real followers for free also. SMH

Cute!

BTW Vod I love your avatar.

Well you can't have it!  I think there's already another user on the forum with it.   Sad

Yeah I have seen it, can't remember where though. Will inform you when I see him again.  Wink

Mate his old email is used in the account when we try to reset the password and already raised complaint to twitter. And after i send him PM he went offline.

If you think i am the one who changed it then also he can get the account unblocked using email he used to register the account and just give it back. And check his tweets it clearly shows who is using the account Sad


You mean the email which is shown when you try to reset the password through forgot password link:

This :

There is no way of knowing whether this email which is not displayed fully is yours or his. I am not taking any sides but at this point I can't say that whether he claimed it back or you did it. That's all.

Do you have any way of proving that this email is his?

And you still haven't provided the signed messages from both the addresses and the screenshots of PMs, it looks like you're avoiding that.

When you paid the final payment did you changed all the info prior to it, including the phone verification? I think it can only be done if the seller had a phone number registered and after he received the final payment he reset his password through sms and then changed everything back.

Can you provide more proofs for your claim, like PM exchanged, Tx IDs, Signed message from the sending addresses etc.

yes mate i can give you all proof:

TXID and details:

and PM i will make a video and upload it or you need screen shots ?


You need to provide signed message from the sending address used in the above mentioned transactions.

At this point screenshots will suffice, however if the other person claims that no deal took place then an Admin might check your PMs or you might have to provide your account to a respected member to check your PMs to find out the truth. Because the thread you provided above has no reply's from you.

No i only changed the password, email, security question but didnt changed the phone number only deleted it

There is no way to know for sure whether he changed the password and email or did you change it yourself, when the account was under your control you should have verified your phone number but you didn't. Nothing can be said for sure what happened. Either he claimed the account back by getting the password reset through sms or you changed it yourself to try and tag him as a scammer.

Let's wait and see what he has to say on this when he logins back again.

Hi,

I have used LocalBitcoins for buy BTCTC, however, there are few sellers are requesting to do trade here and use Forum Escrow.

Please let me know how I can go ahead Forum Escrow and the best Escrow Service that I can use (which recommended to use when buying and selling BTCTC)

Thanks for your help

This is an escrow list ->https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0.

The top 5 are the most trusted.

Choose one and just PM them or post in their escrow thread when you have set up a trade, they will clear the terms and conditions to both the parties with a group PM and you can go forward from their. Make sure to check the PGP signed message from them to avoid the risk of any imposters.

Read more on why you need an escrow: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1040193.0
If you want my personal recommendation, I'd prefer, devthedev and Tomatocage.

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. I have a question, how to create ''GROUP PM''? and what is ''PGP signed message''?

To create a group PM you can enter more than 1 receiver's name in the 'To' field separated by comma and then all the person included in that will receive the same message and when they want to reply they will have an option which says "reply to all" and this way they all can read and write messages and the whole group will see it.



It helps an escrow stay in touch with both the parties and avoids any confusions.

PGP stands for Pretty good encryption, you can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy & here: https://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/Pretty-Good-Privacy

A PGP signed message is use to confirm that the message you're receiving from someone is infact the person you're trading with and not an imposter. On each escrow page and on their profile you'll see their PGP Public key, when the escrow contacts you, they will sign a message from their Private key which includes where to send BTC funds for the escrow, terms of trade etc.

And you can check the PGP signed message from their public key to make sure that it was originally send by them and not someone who might have hacked the account or an imposter. But you'll need an understanding of how PGP works in order to do that.

Edit: The trade doesn't have to take place through PM, you can do it publicly by opening a thread in the marketplace and asking the seller/buyer/escrow to make everything public, this way even if you can't verify the pgp message, the other respected members of the forum can do it and you can trade safely.

Yes this was exactly why I asked this question because if the pot for both girls is visible to players and/or admins, it can be manipulated at the last minute by entering a bigger bet at the right moment and taking the pot.

And if your bet is bigger than the previous bets then you will get the bigger slice of the pie, isn't it? Because the winnings will be distributed as per the entered size of bets.

Yes true , the pot of both of the girls is visible for the players and the player who bet on the games will be shown including the timestamp as well. This could be an advantage since you will know what his maximum next bet would be and you could check on his balance to ensure your winning.

Yes again, it will be distributed by the portion of your bet, if you are betting alot more than the other players then you will getting alot more from the losing side but bear in mind that there is a fee applied so you would not be betting alot just to take on a small winning though since the fee could might be bigger than your winning is

I see but it can still be done if the balance on the other side is big enough for it. And if someone from inside does it than S/He don't even have to worry about the fee. I guess it's safe to say that bigger players and/or admins can control the outcome of the game by betting at the right moment. Not saying that they will do this but just that there is a possibility that it can be done.

As mentioned above I was talking about the girlvsgirl game and now I am a bit confused because you say no one can guess the winner until the last moment but according to arrallmuus admins/players could know that and this was my only concern which made me ask this question.

Ahh since girlbtc has some trouble in communicating with English what he exactly means is that the result is not determined until the countdown is over which is correct because I have stated beforehand that someone might snip in for the last second

What I am stating is that you could know because :

1. There are a rules of only multiplication of 5x fold for your next bet
2. There are some timer applied after your bet which makes you unable to make another one before the timer end
3. There are max of 0.005 BTC bet for the first bet
4. There is a page where you can see the balance of the player

I.e Girl 1 vs Girl 2

Girl 1 is 0.25 BTC and Girl 2 is 0.2 BTC and there is only few seconds left before the timer runs out

Twister's choice is girl 1 which is winning the game and arallmuus choose girl 2 You can easily determine if you are going to win by using those 3 rules

For girl 2 to win, it needs 0.051 BTC more. If arallmuus last bet is 0.025 means that he could bet a maximum of 0.125 for his next bet but
you can see the balance of arallmuus if his balance exceed 0.051 BTC then there is a chance that he might bet at last few seconds if not then you are sure to win it

You can also determine the winner by using the timer, basically it is 300 seconds before you can bet another one, simply check when is arallmuus last bet was, since he would not be able to bet before 300 seconds though

So that is my point on where I would say it is easy to determine the winner beforehand


no one can guess it

Yes no one but you can predict the outcome more or less

Yes this was exactly why I asked this question because if the pot for both girls is visible to players and/or admins, it can be manipulated at the last minute by entering a bigger bet at the right moment and taking the pot.

And if your bet is bigger than the previous bets then you will get the bigger slice of the pie, isn't it? Because the winnings will be distributed as per the entered size of bets.

Hi, I have a question regarding this game and maybe someone can clear it up, maybe it was previously answered but I don't want to scroll through each page to check. Can site owners/players know which side is winning before the results?

what game you are talking about?

if girlchoosing
no one can guess the result until the last moment. Smiley

if onevsone,

when you are openner
1.you start it with self hash( no one but you know what it is)
2.you start it with server hash(you and our site know what it is )


when you are challenger

it is very fair to you to challenge. no one can cheat.

and of course, if you want to open a big amount you should start it with self hash, so that no one in the world except you know what you had chosed. so it is the fairest game.

As mentioned above I was talking about the girlvsgirl game and now I am a bit confused because you say no one can guess the winner until the last moment but according to arrallmuus admins/players could know that and this was my only concern which made me ask this question.

If you mean that the girlvsgirl game then yes we as a player or the admin of the site could know it since there is a timer countdown there but ofcourse someone might snip it in the last few seconds

If you mean the onevsone game then No the player could not know it but the admin may be could because he could check on the hashes before hand. Your chosen animal will be encrypted into hashes which will not be shown to other player before the result

P.S : I may be wrong though on the onevsone game part

Yeah I was talking about girlvsgirl game and that answers my question. Thanks Smiley

1534  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which do you value most when you choose a BTC exchange? on: May 15, 2015, 09:56:44 AM
I would have voted for 'Trust' if there was such an option but there wasn't so I chose the next best thing to it 'Reputation', I think for an exchange to earn reputation it needs to earn people's trust and to me that's the most important thing. For me to use an exchange it needs to be running good with fair dealings over a long period of time. Security is another value that would be needed for the trust, so if I could have voted for 2 I would have voted for both of these options.
1535  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buying bitcoins with Skrill on: May 15, 2015, 07:09:37 AM
You could sell it in here in the Marketplace https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=5.0

Actually, Currency exchange will be the right board for it.

@OP open a thread there, or move this one from the bottom right of this page to the appropriate section and specify in detail how much skrill you want to exchange for Bitcoin.

I'd also advise you to use a trusted escrow for safe trading, the list can be found here: Bitcointalk Escrows [Updated Daily] Trade Safely!

Other than that LBC is another option as already mentioned, they have their own escrow their but remember to trade with people who have atleast 500+ trade history, positive reviews and have provided their IDs for verification. GL

Gambling is only fun when you're winning  Wink. My favorite gambling places are:

-DaDice for Dice
-DirectBet for sports betting
-Luckyflop for Poker
-Bettingblocks for Blockchain based lottery
-Fortunejack for Casino based games

Apart from these there are other sites I do play at as someone already mentioned, it all depends on my mood, I sometimes try the most latest sites which offer different games and see how it goes. GL  Smiley
1538  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gambling on: May 14, 2015, 11:38:05 AM
I think some people are in it only for gambling as it provides somewhat anonymous gambling and they don't have to provide their verification documents to play at a BTC Casino and they see that it is very easy to deposit/withdraw using Bitcoin and it takes much less time as compared to other online casinos which use alternate methods such as Credit Cards.

Then there are people who don't know where else to spend it, they don't want to keep their bitcoins closed in a cold wallet and they want to make use of it and since they don't want/need to buy anything with it or don't know where to invest it, they simply gamble with it.

I think most people would be in it for they think that it will bring them a profit some day. They want the price of BTC to go higher so they can get rich as some of the early adopters did. Will it happen or not, who knows?
1539  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which is profitable, Dice Site Investment Vs Cloud Mining? on: May 14, 2015, 11:28:22 AM
Cloud mining nowadays is a scary "investment" if you would ask me because apparently, the operators of this kind of service never show their identity to their peers and investors. Also, they can easily create some "proofs" that would help them hide their true intentions by showing pictures of their "mining hardware". Most of the time, this cloud mining sites turn out to be a pyramid scheme, giving some "mining revenues" to their investors as long as it is "profitable" and after some months or a year, will turn out to be a scam and poof! All coins gone.

Dice site investment on the other hand, is also risky but is less scarier compared to its cloud mining counterpart in terms of investment. Dice site could actually give you some profit over time unless a lucky player shatters the whole house within a single moment. The house edge is proven to be unbeatable over time and the house always wins. But there are times when the house loses to a single entity that could cripple some investments on it.

Whatever the case, still your choice in the end.

You're right but there is no way to be sure that a gambling site won't run away when it has accumulated enough funds. Bitcoin investments are always risky because there is no central authority regulating the funds and there is also no legal agreements.

I say both have equal risks but there has been less instances of gambling sites running away with people's funds in the past as compared to so called Cloud Mining sites, so I guess they can be considered a little safe for now and if a Gambling site is running a legit business than it will provide better profits in long term to it's investors.
1540  Economy / Economics / Re: when there is a fair game online , will the offline market become smaller? on: May 14, 2015, 11:06:50 AM
I have asked the same question from regular gamblers in my area and they responded as follow :
a. The VIP drinks are FREE at the casino, what do I get for FREE when I play online.
b. I like to socialize with REAL people, and I will not get the same experience online.
c. The online gambling sites are not regulated, so I do not trust them to play by the rules.
d. The security of my money is higher at a casino, and the risk of online sites running or me being hacked is higher.

These are the reasons, why people will still use "offline" sites. 

You're right but I think both have their own merits and demerits.

Some people don't feel like dressing up and going all the way to the casino and they prefer to play from their home in their underwear and they can afford their own drinks, not to mention online casinos do offer giveaways and special features to VIP players as well.

And some players don't like to socialize and prefer playing in peace rather than playing with a room full of people, light and noise. Bitcoin gambling is provably fair and there is no way to cheat (afaik) and there are BTC gambling sites who have been running responsibly over a very long period of time and can be trusted to not run away with user's funds.

So IMO, In the end it all comes down to personal preference. Off-line and on-line casinos both don't have anything to fear from each other as there is no shortage of gamblers and they will continue to grow side by side.
