25$ can go a very long way in certain countries.
I'm not saying you shouldn't trade with newbies, but you should definitely not go first.

You'll gain countless more messages now from newbs who are looking for a quick buck, yes..


(Also, depending on how you send the paypal, there's probably a way to charge it back, if you really want too.)



Nope, there are definitely some legit sellers on there. The problem is that when you go from PP -> BTC, you'll probably pay a fee of ~10-25% (even more if you don't want to verify your ID!)

Except for the fact that they usually don't take email adresses/IP's as valid evidence. Emails can be hacked, etc.

However given the circumstances, and looking at all the pictures provided by OP, i myself would be fairly confident that he is infact the rightful owner of the account.

Yep. I think i've seen this what you're mentioning as well. It might be their business model?

Something i've also noticed, and can't really explain, is the fact that some Giftcards have (or had) a significant difference in fees. (Amazon PIN vs Amazon card.)

For example; Zalando 25EUR = 0,008051BTC is 1:1 with the preev rate.

Amazon card: 25 EUR = 0.00896BTC ~10 % fee?



Not entirely sure if this is intentional or not, but there's a large enough difference to point it out..

You're making it sound like taking a BTT as collateral will cause you to instantly get red trusted. - Unless you have examples of this - i wouldn't say that this is the case.

Rather if you take an account as collateral, and the user does not pay back, and you then proceed to sell it, that's kind of flawed upon.

I'd say that, especially with high tier accounts, offering account (rather the reputation behind the account) does not instantly =/= Selling the account in the case of them not paying back their loan.

Hmmm. This indeed sounds like something which i don't think you can do very much about. AFAIK, you'll be unable to sign a message from any of these services you mentioned, since you don't own/have access to the private key.

I find a couple things very weird though;

you had a protonmail adress? And they simply disabled it?

That seems like a big deal to me? I've registered multiple Protonmails from VPNS/tor, (albeit they're phone verified), it would be detrimental to me if they were to suddenly close these accounts, without any warning...?

Hmm. That also seems pretty weird. I wonder why they mention it if it's impossible. Staff should've known, right? (Or are we missing something?)

I'm not entirely sure if this will do anything, but perhaps you could try contacting TheQuin, and see if he can mean anything to you?

EDIT:

If the Staff of FreeBitco.in allow alternative methods of proving ownership, you could perhaps send some BTC$ from the adress in DreamMarket (the one you used to also send money to FreeBitc.o.in) to your electrum wallet, and sign a message with the adress holding said input.

That proves you're (indirectly related)/ the owner of the dreamwallet adress (the same adress that send coins to FreeBit.co.in!). But, the staff of Freebitco.in will have to play along, and i'm not sure how keen they are in doing so.

Copy pasting is most likely what he got banned for.

The only post he got merit for was a (probably) copy-pasted one.  

I really like the idea of a service accepting Paypal deposits without KYC, as it's extremely unique.

Which begs the question; why/how are you able to provide such a "unique" service? How are you dealing with/are going to deal with the sheer amount of chargebacks that come from accepting paypal?

-- Until you come up with an answer for that, and an escrow + some efforts into your site's design, i really doubt anyone is going to use your service.


I mean.. Are you running a 2012-esque webshop or an exchange?

I've deeply considered creating such a site to the likes of ShapeShift/Changelly, (but with no random KYC checks et al).

However if you want this to be successful, as others have already mentioned, you'll need to offer Low fees -> Capital/No KYC -> Capital/Trustworthiness -> Capital/.

Considering the fact that the above exchanges are subject to KYC, you have to realize that they do this due to regulations/feds panting in their neck. (They wouldn't implement KYC if they weren't 100% required to.)

You'll probably need some really good lawyers and an offshore company hosted in the middle of nowhere to be safe from them.
(Which again, is probably going to cost a lot of $$$, something you don't seem to have.), and due to the greyness of the business model, i wouldn't expect many banks signing off a loan on this idea either.



Sorry, but if this is your idea of creating capital for your business then you're just plain delusional. You won't get a penny from your ICO.

This has probably been asked a dozen times before, but i am wondering where i can see who included/excluded me in their trust lists. Is this even possible?

Best i can find is; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;dtview

but that only shows DT1 (?)

I'm not so sure about Donator ranks, but i really doubt you'll be able to buy those with Grin yet. (As 10BTC would equal 10% of Grin's daily volume  )

I stand corrected.

I'm pretty sure that roughly 90% of the members is a newbie, and has never posted before, so the amount of accounts created really shouldn't be compared to the amount of accounts banned.

Adding a captcha before you can post kills any incentive for most users. If you want to drive everyone (and especially tor users) out, this is a great solution!

This kills any real conversation users might have in a thread? Spammers won't care, and simply hop to the next thread? This merely limits "legit" users.

I'm pretty sure that this is indeed the case.

That a change of password generates a new master private key and thus a set of private keys that can't be generated in/from the old wallet(backup).

EDIT; see answers below. This is only the case if your wallet was never encrypted in the first place..?

Not really, I'm kind of confused.

19Zgw4ZDEQrMK77KYxokpvG99Gn6ZsixpU received 7000$- 2BTC, not 100$? - https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/19Zgw4ZDEQrMK77KYxokpvG99Gn6ZsixpU

Just to be clear: Are you still waiting for the above coins to show up in your wallet?, if so, something is definitely wrong, as the txid has 50+ confirmations.

what do you mean by "Not complete", once a transaction has 1 confirmation, (depending on the size), it is usually often seen as "complete" or "validated", and should definitely show up in your wallet?

Well, you still have access to your wallet right?

Make a backup now of your seed, and maybe try to restore it in another (safe!) environment, to see if it might be the application that's displaying something wrong?

Do you have a transaction ID of the coins that were supposedly sent to you? Where are these coins coming from? P2P Trade?

You mentioned in the OP that they already had 1,,, 3 confirmations, so i really doubt that they got doublespend?

---

(Also, "only 100$" implies that you had much more stored on your wallet? (In different adresses?) are these still showing up normal?)

(Maybe ask yourself what's different with the adress/tx as opposed to all the other adresses that are still in your wallet, with balance..?)

I think the reload option does not 'comepletely' wipe your account, but merely regenerates all the adresses from the root key? (Note that i am not an experienced Mycelium user, this is merely what i've found online.)

(Which, if you imported the adresses that were holding your coins, could explain why they're missing.?)


Anyway, have you made a backup of your seed somewhere? -- https://mycelium-support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003713712-How-do-I-restore-a-backup-

I'm not educated enough on the wallet to say..

Look through your old posts and see if you've left any bitcoin adress, anywhere.

(Then access that adress with Core/Electrum and sign a message.)
Even then, chances are slim your account will be recovered. 

I assume you're talking about the Bitcoin.com wallet?

-- https://wallet.bitcoin.com/

It seems like the latest version is 5.2, which you can download from here. https://github.com/Bitcoin-com/Wallet/releases (Or simply click the link above.)

I'm not sure how exactly Bitcoin.com handles the updating process/whether or not your wallet files will be saved. To be sure, i'd recommend to make a backup of those files before downloading the new version (By exporting the current wallet.. (Although it's quite unnecessary if you have your seed.)

---

If they don't save your wallet files, you should probably try to import the Backup Seed into the wallet.

What exactly do you mean by "Make a purchase"? You simply copy the adress + amount stated on the invoice of the merchant, and send it...?

(That is if you're using a 3rd party payment processor. With P2P you simply ask the user for the amount and the adress? Same way like you would make normal non-crypto payments = Ask for someone's IBAN + Amount of $.)

I'm going to quote bob123 here since i asked the same -esque question a couple months ago,


So, do you have access to the transaction? (Since i myself can't find any record about your tx in any of the apis.)

I'm pretty sure that is the only way that you'll be able to get the HEXID by this point.. (Which is what you'll need to rebroadcast it.)
