I think blazed created a monster and inflated his ego. After reading back through his posts , WC's story line started to become exaggerated after the $14K piece. ..... What better way to create inflated auction priced but to sell to sock puppets.... I believe his end goal was to sell his #10 coin for 500 bitcoins. I bet most of his stuff in still in his basement workshop., sock puppets usually don't pay.. crazy thing is , I bet his coins still has value sorta like Burney Madoff's Rolex.... well, maybe not.
This is proof that doing Bong Hits with exotic wooden Pipes creates delusions of grander.

Hi guys, It seems i have been able to find the answer to all my other problems through Bitcoin and its community so here goes another attempt. I am looking to have a laser engraver engineered that does not suffer from the "straight line" problem. The straight line problem can be better understood by watching this videoBuying and off the shelf laser engraver means i could only engrave things that are round which have a perfectly straight line to write on, So something like a vase which has curves cannot be engraved as the laser is out of focus on any part of the vase that is not on the focus line. I would be willing to offer a negotiable fee or bounty to anyone who could solve this engineering problem. You would not need to build the actual machine. Just provide engineering documents and a parts list so i could build it DIY style. Thanks I don't understand why no one was able to find this post when everything he was posting was being put through so much scrutiny. Regardless, I am fairly certain that this more or less confirms that he was scamming the entire time. I admit that I was somewhat doubting this would be the end result, unfortunately I ended up being wrong on this one. I would say that his scam was very unique and he did a very good job of fooling a lot of people. Leaving negative trust I agree... his work was/is really cool. alot of people would buy stuff......Listen folks....I can do this same work at a much cheaper price...I can find any vector stock you want and I have proven it.......really I can , I will buy a laser engraver.. but insted of high$$$$ rare exotic endangered hard wood... I will buy OAK from home depot Any one want to help start a laser engraved, internet vector art, locally found wood at the home depot... I would love to start a small business...nothing fancy.... just round pieces of oak with a laser engraved image.....PM me to help out.....LOL LOL LOL... edit/ only joking about that.. it would go to my head and I would eventually become a scammer......I couldnt live with my self if that happened... |

Hilarious. He is looking for a laser engraver that will burn onto curved surfaces, like the shaft of a dildo for instance. LMFAO. News: He found one.  Or a $14,000 wooden BTC with a honeycomb pattern, for example. so he can laser bongs for the secret tor bong site |

He says in PM that it's going to take over 24 hours to upload a 1 hour 30 minute video.
If we were to assume it's 2GB that'd be uploading at ~23kB/s
All that 90% of you can do is assume, 19 pages of smoke and mirrors now. I see people using the words "confirmed scammer" and a hundred variations of that phrase. Yet i see 0, and i mean ABSOLUTELY 0 hard evidence of scamming or foul play.
First you say he uses a laser, you have no proof, and are about to be proven seriously wrong.
Next you say its a scam because he used stock image elements in his designs. Newsflash, he never said he didnt, actually he outright said he did. There is nothing wrong with that, damn near every coin in existence around here has stock image elements.
Then, when you start to lose that battle, you start blowing that the word "sketch" is why its a scam. What the hell do you call it when someone puts a pencil to paper, or a pen to a notebook, or charcoal to canvas? Oh yeah, that's right its called sketching. Pretty sure that almost every person who commissioned a piece got a sketch sent to them for approval Stock Image elements or not, pretty sure every piece was laid out on canvas before it was carved. I know got a sketch both times. I know that Ukcrypto and IronMarvel did because i saw them. Like i said, smoke and mirrors, you want to twist words like its condemning when you dont even know the definition of the word you are trying to twist.
LazerViking....... Come on, you have to be kidding right, WC had every right in the world to keep that douches bitcoin. A deposit is a deposit, he does not get a refund for backing out just because you guys are all crying scam when there is actually 0 hard evidence of anything. All any of you have is a really well played sales pitch that you are trying to sell people across 19 pages of B.S.
Video upload times? Really? That makes him a scammer now too? More smoke and mirrors. Lets get a crash course in video and upload speeds.
First, lets start with size
1 hour 30 minutes of video with audio.
1080p for high resolution
.mp4 container
AAC-LC Audio Codec
h.264 video codec
figuring a 50,000 kb/s video bitrate with a 512 kb/s audio bitrate (5.1 audio) considering it came from a DSLR camera
Your looking somewhere in the ballpark of 9.5 to 11GB of raw data to be transferred
Now, lets assume he is uploading to Youtube.
His upload speeds really have nothing to with with it as long as he is not on dial-up.
Youtube servers are being brutalized with 100 hours of video being uploaded per minute as of 4/24/14, i am sure that has went up since then. Who cares how fast you can throw data at a server if the server cant take it from you as fast as you can dish it out...
If he is able to get that video uploaded in the next 2 days he is doing damn good. Even then its just going to be more smoke and mirrors from you idiots.
With the forum down today i spent a few hours on skype with WC while he was carving, i saw enough that even if i didnt know who he was i would be able to tell clear as day that he is 100% able to carve anything i have seen on this forum without the use of a laser. Yet you little kids here are still going to keep on your crusade after he burns you all when his video finally uploads. I agree with him totally. every single one of you are going to owe him an apology, and i am willing to bet that not a damn one of you here is man enough to give it to him when it comes time and is due. Instead your going to try and find some other reason its a scam, then put together your smoke and mirrors sales pitch for that B.S. reason. Why? because you are not men enough to admit when you are wrong. When you get called out on your shit, you will create more lies, more conspiracy, more extremely far fetched theory's and you will rant like a bunch of sociopaths about them until your fingers bleed before you will ever admit you got caught and called out on your witch hunt.
Rant away all you want, i for one am done watching you guys tear a good man for no damn good reason at all like a bunch of kids. These facts listed above will continue to haunt you on ever single page of this witch hunt until you fools are the only ones left here to read it. Based on the rants of Woodcollector on reddit . I am saying that Terrahasher is woodcutters sockpuppet http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2t96w0/anybody_know_why_bitcointalk_is_down/cnwyhu2 |

Good question...
All of the evidence points to misrepresentation/fraud/etc.
I am curious, if Woodcollector posts a video of him hand carving these detailed coins, is he still going to be labelled a scammer as he uses stock images in some of his designs and would the OP have the integrity to rename the thread or is this just a witch hunt? Wood (haha) that still classify him as a scammer, which to me is a very strong word, given that he delivers the coins he sends 'sketches' of for the price paid. And for those who accuse him of using a laser cutter, what will you say if a video appears of him actually hand carving these coins? This guy is starting to sound like a Woodcollector sock puppet...!!!!! most of the rants with woodcutter on reddit keeps refering to witch hunting.. |

"Culture Cultivation" Bitcoin Art Piece January 13, 2015, 12:45:25 AM Reply with quote #1 "Culture Cultivation" When freshly cut the heartwood of Purpleheart is a dull grayish/purplish brown. Upon exposure the wood becomes a deeper eggplant purple. With further age and exposure to UV light, the wood becomes a dark brown with a hint of purple. The high grade Purpleheart that this piece is made of has a super high resin content that leaves it more purple than others after aging. This piece was freshly cut and worked by hand so it still has 5-10 years to fully age to its darkest color but will start to show its deep royal purples within the next week or two. http://www.wood-database.com/lumber-identification/hardwoods/purpleheart/The Guy knows his wood...

From woodcollectors art thread.
Q: What kind of wood can i have something made from?
A: If it exists on this planet i have access to it. It does not matter if it is protected, endangered or practically non existent. I have access to foresters, brokers, and a swarm of people who can obtain anything i need legally for me with forestry permits and import documents.
I have a problem with anyone who would even say this......
Using "Protected, Endangered or Practically non existent" wood used is not sitting well with me.
Even tho ever thing looks like stained oak.

Update: I scrolled through WoodCollecters posts and found this:  It is a Grizzly lathe. Piece of shit $600 unit. Nailed it the first guess from the little pic on the first page of this thread. ( I actually DO know about this stuff) Brand new even. Even the turning tools all look nice and new and pretty. Looks like he has figured out how to turn a weird looking bong and a couple flat discs to laser burn on thus far. Would using something like this still be considered "hand-carved"? Honest question.  There is no artistic skill what so ever in gouging out rings on turning wood. I do the same thing with brass on a 400 dollar lathe from harbor freight. I make mini cannons and thunder mugs that look like shot gun shells, all by eye... This is not considered "Hand Carved" This is considered HAND CARVED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQVo4oEizJA |
