He only posted 8x bets, only posted winning bets, and never mentions his win rate over the 500 sample size. I've developed a winning model and I can tell you that it is highly unlikely that this user actually has a model that is profitable at MLB, NHL and NBA. If he did he would know and post the win percentage if he was even going to waste his time selling his picks. At 60% on spread bets he would make millions in a very short period of time with his posted bet sizes. In the posted images there are several favorite moneyline bets which are a pretty bad idea in general and require an extremely high accuracy rate to be profitable long term. For example, -426(1.235) requires you to be right 81% of the time just to break even.

Economy / Services / competent developer for hire - python, nodejs, solidity, and ml experince

I am a competent developer with extensive experience in python, nodejs, and more recently solidity as well as others. I have pretty extensive experience with machine learning and statistical analysis as well as a lot of experience building various types of crawlers. I’ve written several crypto trading bots with mixed results but as a result I can fairly quickly implement new trading algorithms. I also have a lot of experience with sports analytics(mostly NBA/NCAA but the concepts should apply to other sports as well). With all of my projects I strive to have 100% code coverage and document my code well. The extra time spent on this saves from potential security issues down the road. When talking about solidity projects it is especially important that the code base is well tested and documented.
I can quickly implement an ERC-20 token as well as an ERC-721 non-fungible token. If you are wanting a basic ERC-20 token I can develop a well tested token in just a few hours for you.
I am looking for projects, small or large, solo or as part of a team. I am not really all that interested in sweat equity type positions or for trading work for tokens unless the idea is really good and you also have a proper budget. In my experience projects that do not have a budget tend to fail simply because they do not have a proper marketing budget and almost regardless of the validity of the idea.
Generally speaking I will only accept larger market cap cryptocurrencies as payment but exceptions can be made for the right people/project. I would prefer to work from home but exceptions can also be made for the right project. As always escrow is welcomed and encouraged.
Edit
I do not work with wordpress and I have no interest in doing so. You should not be building websites which are more than a personal blog using wordpress.

It seems highly unlikely that someone who is capable of finding a zero day would need help setting up electrum. Furthermore the people who would be interested in a zero day are not likely to fall for a scam. |

They got me for 0.2btc a couple years ago with similar bs. I had only ever cashed out via moneygram and had never had an issue other than the occasional buyer flaking and not sending. Suddenly one day out of no where the account got locked pending ID verification. At the time 0.2 was roughly $60USD so I just told them to kiss my ass and that I would never use their site again as well as tell this story every chance I get.
Depositing coin into LBC is very risky if you do not want to do indentity verification. If you are willing to do that then there is pretty much 0 risk.

...I expect fast responses and not a almost 60 hour delay in releasing escrow. Needless to say I will never use his service again.
Maybe next time you should just ask what's the expected response time. What's "fast" can be pretty subjective. To you, 2-3 days is extremely slow, to someone else - it's acceptable, especially when it's the weekend. Good to see it's all sorted out though. The length of the entire trade was during the week. I'm pretty sure that noone would ever say that 2-3 days delay in escrow release is fast and especially an escrow that cost over 30% of the total. He came back online and released finally. Overall I am extremely unhappy with the service he provided. The escrow cost $60usd. Obviously that is my fault for not fully reading the message he sent with those details. For $60(out of $175 total) I expect fast responses and not a almost 60 hour delay in releasing escrow. Needless to say I will never use his service again.
I always thought that SJ's escrow were free... Perhaps he changed that a while back? Anyways, I still don't know if there is a miscommunication somewhere that may have caused the delay (something like the buyer not sending him the message to release directly), and I would like to hear his side of the case before jumping to conclusions. But if he was as unresponsive as you claim, then that's definitely unprofessional. But everyone's human after all, you can't expect fast replies in all circumstances. However, charging a fee usually means that you're obliged to deliver much faster service. The last time I used his escrow it was free but this time he snuck in a 30% fee on me. I feel like an honest person would have said something. If you read the OP it is really easy to miss his extremely high fee. He was absolutely was unresponsive and had a lame excuse when he came back. This entire situation has lead to me no longer trusting him at all. |

I doubt he's scammed you for a measly 0.02325674 as he could easily take more than that if he wanted (though maybe there's others as well, but I doubt it). I think it's probably more of a case of him being busy or whatever. It's only been a couple of days and SJ doesn't seem terribly active these days so that could be why. Probably not acceptable for an escrow with ongoing transactions but I doubt he's done a runner for such a figure.
I completely agree. He has escrowed larger amounts than this for me and I have seen him escrow much larger in the past without issues. Which is why I said "flaked" instead of scammed in the inital post. I would gladly remove this post and the negative feedback if/when he comes back and releases. Having said that, if it is a scam we'll probably see a lot more victims in the coming days as it would not make any sense to scam only my small escrow. |

I am still waiting for you to release this escrow: Please release escrow
You came online yesterday and responded to a message without releasing the escrow. Since the coin hasn't moved I am only moderately concerned. At this point I'm assuming you are busy with real life but tomorrow I will be posting a scam accusation if the coin is still held. I will gladly remove this post once coins are released. The escrow still has not been released. Total of 50+ hours since the buyer said to release. The scam accusation thread is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4407062.0I would strongly avoid using this escrow until this is made right. Even after that apparently you never know when he is going to flake for a few days editThe escrow was finally released roughly 60 hours after the buyer said to release. The total amount escrowed was $175USD in btc and the escrow fee was $60USD. For that I would expect fast responses. Overall I am very unhappy with my experince using him as an escrow. I will never use his services again. MAKE SURE YOU READ THE CONTRACT HE SENDS. HIS FEES ARE EXTREMELY HIGH FOR THE EXTREMELY SLOW RESPONSE TIMES |

What happened:: SebastianJu has flaked with escrow of mine. He was told by the buyer to release the escrow at May 31, 2018, 06:50:25 AM UTC. He sent me a message replying to an earlier message at May 31, 2018, 09:55:20 AM UTC and has not been online since. After 50+ hours of him holding an escrow that should have been released it is starting to feel more and more like an escrow scam. So far the coins have not moved https://blockchain.info/en/address/14D6zD1kLNZ6DdhjAqZY1sNrEkBhWGj5TnScammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=18640Reference Link: Amount Scammed: 0.02325674 BTC Payment Method: BTC Proof of Payment: see logs PM/Chat Logs: The dealHi SebastianJu and Work4crypto1,
Work4crypto1 is needing some fairly simple javascript work done and he would like to use an escrow. It is a total of 5x simple tasks for $35 each($175 total) in btc that have clearly defined specs. Assuming you are available and are still doing escrow services we would like to use you.
Thanks,

Regarding escrow, I need some infoPlease ALWAYS QUOTE everything we wrote when answering! Quotes is the text we wrote before. When you answer you click on "quote" instead on "reply" (or on "reply to all" when more than one receiver) in order to preserve the quote. Infos needed if not already given1.) Seller Username 2.) Buyer Username 3.) Item to be traded 4.) Which coin or token is used as payment? 5.) How high is the amount of coins or token, that I should take into escrow, exactly? 6.) Please Seller provide a release address and buyer please provide a refund address in case it is needed. 7.) Please buyer and seller make an arrangement at which condition the Bitcoins should be released by me. So that everyone has the same thoughts about it. 8.) Please consider also what should happen when one party does not react for a certain amount of time. After how much time should I decide? If no negotiation is done then I have to decide what has to happen. When the seller seems to have delivered then I will release the coins the the seller after buyer did not react after a month at the latest. 9.) Also buyer and seller make sure that it is not possible by the seller to claim the item back. This is meant in case of an account trade or a digital currency that is not a cryptocurreny. I will only hold the payment coins in escrow except another handling is needed.In case of coins or token being traded handling depends on if the coins are already freely tradeable. In that case buyer provides the address he wants the coins transferred to. Also both provide a coin explorer that can enable each party to check if the coins reached that address. If the coins are not live yet then we can work with safety deposits ensuring the seller goes through with the trade. Because of very few time I ask for a minimum tip of 0.006b or 1.5% of the coin value. Whatever is higher. When a refund happens the refund fee is 0.003b or 0.75% of the coin value. Because of the insane tx-fees nowadays this is plus the tx fee to forward or refund the coins. You can chose a proper fee when checking out the 3 block bitcoin transaction fee on https://bitcoinfees.info/Let me know if you still are interested. I then would create the escrow details message and send you both the escrow address. 1) Nomadcrypto 2) Work4crypto1 3) I will complete 5x small javascript tasks at $35 each for a total of $175 4) BTC 5) Depends on when he confirms and sends. total is 175USD in btc 6) 1BoH6htsG6gKjD917F1DMU1mVtj17MoeH6 7) bitcoin should be released once all 5x tasks have been completed to spec  I would give a leway of say 2x days either way. Meaning if I didn't respond in two days or the buyer doesn't respond in two days release/refund the escrow. this is a very easy project for me and that will not be happening on my end. 9) NA The buyer has a new account and as such is limited to the messages he can send daily. Which will drastically slow this process down. I understand that and will be patient. 1.) Which coin or token is used as payment? 2.) How high is the amount of coins or token, that I should take into escrow, exactly? 3.) Please Seller provide a release address and buyer please provide a refund address in case it is needed. 4.) Please buyer and seller make an arrangement at which condition the Bitcoins should be released by me. So that everyone has the same thoughts about it. 5.) Please consider also what should happen when one party does not react for a certain amount of time. After how much time should I decide? If no negotiation is done then I have to decide what has to happen. When the seller seems to have delivered then I will release the coins the the seller after buyer did not react after a month at the latest. 6.) Also buyer and seller make sure that it is not possible by the seller to claim the item back. This is meant in case of an account trade or a digital currency that is not a cryptocurreny. Important!1.) When answering PM's, please always use "Reply to all" so that all involved parties get informed. And keep the quotes so that all trading partners and the escrow know exactly what deal the pm is meant for. 2.) Because of very few time I would ask for a minimum tip of 0.006b or 1% of the coin value. Whatever is higher. 3.) Please send my fee together with the payment. I will reduce the payout to the buyer for my fee. If buyer and seller share the fee please send accordingly so that I reduce the payout for my total fee then. This helps to reduce the amount of needed transactions. 4.) Please only send payment once all points above are cleared by both buyer and seller. Also seller if the points are cleared and coins reached the escrow address (see link below) then please wait at least one confirmation before you release any product to the buyer.Escrow detailsThe escrow address is: 14D6zD1kLNZ6DdhjAqZY1sNrEkBhWGj5Tn Before payment I would suggest you take a look at http://www.cointape.com/ to check out if the network gets spammed again. Below the graph there is shown what amount of fee is needed to get instant confirmation for a normal transaction, which means a transaction with coins coming from one address, and going to two addresses. That would be the target address and the source or a change address where the remaining coins are sent to. Checking that page could prevent that transactions are stuck for hours or days because they dont get a confirmation. Most wallets nowadays support automatic calculation of the needed fee. The payment of the bitcoins can be found and checked the fastest way through https://blockchain.info/de/address/14D6zD1kLNZ6DdhjAqZY1sNrEkBhWGj5TnIn case you are new to bitcoin trades on the forum or with escrows, please don't sit before the browser and click reload all the time. That is doing no one. Deals will take some hours, often days too. Some other escrows only log in once a day or even less than that. In case signed messages has to be verified, then its the fastest to visit https://tools.bitcoin.com/verify-message/. Then you can check fast if a signature, given by me or the seller, is correct and so you know that the address is controlled by the one giving the signature. -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Message signed with an old address of mine, that I posted may 2013 on bitcointalk. See my Servicethread: [ANN] SebastianJu - Free Legendary Escrow Service - Escrowed over 8150 BTC. Sent
I later messaged asking for another method of contactIs there another method the buyer could contact you for releasing the funds? He has exceeded his pms
Buyer releases escrow
Please release escrow
SebastianJu responds to my request for another contact methodNo, he must contact me. Anything else would be too risky. He should stop sending pm's until he sent me one in case he want's it to be released.
Additional Notes: His message was sent after the buyer had said to release yet he did not release before flaking off. I would like to think that he is busy with real life but after 50+ hours of not releasing an escrow this is feeling more and more like a scam.

There are countless apps and services that you can use. Pm in that case should be used as, one who's interested in the services, would ask for a contact and what's he looking for in a few short lines and you respond with your contact. I don't know why's this so much of a problem.
It is a problem in a real world situation for me right now. The buyer wants to release the escrow but can't because the pm limit per day is 2. At this point the pm limits has turned this 1 day transaction into 3. In that time the price has dropped a little too. Making the entire situation not worth dealing with at all in the future |

I agree. I would say 5 is the magic number. You can always use a different site however like Telegram or good old fashioned email.
The issue is that any communication with the escrow should happen on site. It can easily take more than 2 to just work out the details with a new user. 5 to 10 would make sense. |

The subject basically says it all. The limits of 2x personal messages per day makes many transactions involving escrows and new users extremely slow. So slow that I will probably no longer deal with users that have those pm limits. I can understand some sort of a limit but 2? That seems extremely excessive.

I'm not a fan of negging people without proof but I think I may start leaving negative feedback for self moderated threads in digital goods. I've been thinking of something like the following:
"This user posted a self moderated thread in digital goods which has an extremely high chance of being a scam. If they remove the post and repost without self moderation I will remove this negative feedback"

I can not find any self moderated or locked threads or both from reputable members in the digital goods section, they are all scammer threads
That is usually the case. In a way I don't feel bad for the scam vicitims. Generally it is greed that overrides common sense and that will almost always lead to them losing their money. a fool and his money are soon parted
I also find it slightly suspicious that several of us higher trust traders have voiced our concerns about this and it is still a thing. If we know that a high percentage of scammers use the same method to scam and we do nothing about it we are guilty by an act of omission(assuming the person has the privs to solve the problem). I don't have the permissions to remove self moderated threads from digital goods or I would. |
