That is why you use someone with a high trust rating for escrow. You reduce your chances of getting scammed.

Yeah, unfortunately he's lost most of his credibility due to his dodgy behavior.
LOL when did McShill have any credibility ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McAfeeHe is just a showman that promotes himself and a hedonistic lifestyle. Anyone who promotes a certain crypto is "selling it". Most of the time there are ulterior motives. |

How did the scammers get the phone numbers of Bitmain customers?
Scammers got the data by hacking Bitmain back around August last year. Poor computer database security got all the personal details stolen. One of their servers got compromised, and accounts information was stolen. Data breach includes user data, including encrypted passwords, email addresses and phone numbers. https://bitcoiner.today/en/stolen-data-from-bitmain-customers-miners-in-danger/ |

Perhaps it is because it has already been disproven in another thread. People can say anything in untrusted feedback. It doesn't make it true. If I gave a shit about rank I could have made 2000 shitposts before the merit system was introduced. I've been a member since 2016. Perhaps you want to regurgitate the nonsense claims that the SIGT shills made as well. (A proven scam) Do you really believe that if you say something often enough then people may believe you regardless of how stupid it sounds ? |

Hi All, I'm a news writer for the website coinclarity.com and I'm looking for new content. Recently I've been writing a series of articles entitled "Spotting a Scamcoin." Here are my first three: https://coinclarity.com/spotting-a-scamcoin-number-1/https://coinclarity.com/spotting-a-scamcoin-number-2/https://coinclarity.com/spotting-a-scamcoin-number-3/I'm looking for juicy, original stories for my next article. They don't have to be about a fraud coin or ICO; they are more based around an individual or company and these are meant to help people decipher the good from the bad in the all-too-often shady world of crypto. Feel free to PM me or else post a link or two to a thread here. I would prefer something that is particularly bizarre, cringeworthy or that basically defies any logic or sense of humanity that people are supposed to be born with. What's in it for you? A sense of justice knowing "the media" has covered a potential crime that you felt needed to be exposed, that maybe otherwise would never see the light of day. OK thanks guys. Your contributions will all be considered, and are always appreciated. I've read your articles and they are really good. Have you considered posting them in their entirety on Bitcointalk rather than linking to it ? |

Dude, a lot of companies are receiving extortion letters from some individuals. Do they have 100% proof that letter was sent by that individual ? The answer is NO. No one can have such proofs. What are such companies doing? They are reporting that letters to Police. Only Police and the court can confirm that letter was sent by that person. Unfortunately that does not work in crypto, because police will never investigate such case. That's why I published that letter here and mentioned that Cryptodevil is a suspected extortionist.
Oh - the police will investigate any extortion. ISP's and service providers often can find out the source of an email too. All you need to provide is the origional header. It is reasonably easy to trace to a source unless they really know what they are doing. What you are counting on is that nobody works for such organisation.  |

Change of email is not proof. I changed my own email not so long ago because my other email was on https://haveibeenpwned.com/I would recommend anyone in crypto to check their email address (or have a dedicated email address for here). Even a wake up after a long time of inactivity wouldn't be proof. A change of writing style or change from quality posts to just bounty posts would be circumstantial evidence. Neither is the case here. |

I was following a thread and was amused by some of the answers. I'm interested to see how much people know.

 Make sure you have plenty. This feisty bitconnext rooster is planning on educating all of us. |

Let me give you a small free lesson clueless noob who is trying to me smart. There are no regulations for ICO's in general. China just restricted ICO's because the central bank of China declared ICO's as a danger for the countries economy. SEC in US still does not have clear statement about that. Let’s look at bitcoin. If you own bitcoin, you are not entitled to any particular debt or deposits. There is no repayment schedule, and there is no issuer from which the debt should eventually come from. Therefore it’s safe to conclude that bitcoin is not a debt security. Likewise, as bitcoin is not a company, a bitcoin does not represent a share of ownership in anything. Bitcoin is valued simply because bitcoin itself has value. For this reason, bitcoin is generally not considered a security, but instead is considered an asset more in line with gold or diamonds. It’s something that has value in and of itself and is not tied to any company or issuing body. Things get even more complicated when we consider the various cryptocurrencies and ERC-20 tokens offered in ICO’s. This is because practically all ICO’s are offered by an individual or a company. Even if it’s not offered by a registered company, it’s still being offered by an individual or group of individuals that will be the beneficiary of the proceeds from the sale. Are ICO’s illegal? At this point not. In order for an ICO to be illegal in the United States, it would need to be de facto declared as a security first. Once that is done, attempting to sell securities without following SEC procedures could be viewed as an illegal act. However ICO's are not declared as a security jet. Same story is in EU. The EU central bank is talking about implementing some rules for ICO's but nothing was done yet. Also if you want to avoid any problems just mention in your ICO, that your tokens will be used for membership on your platform and that's it. So, I suggest you to educate yourself a little bit before posting a bullshit statements here.
Rather than looking at a poorly written article written by a journalist - lets look at what the law really says: Howey Test (USA) It is an investment of money ☑ There is an expectation of profits from the investment ☑ The investment of money is in a common enterprise ☑ Any profit comes from the efforts of a promoter or third party ☑ https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/328/293.htmlhttps://apps.americanbar.org/buslaw/newsletter/0014/materials/investmentch2.pdfNow your whitepaper:  UK:  AU:  https://asic.gov.au/regulatory-resources/digital-transformation/initial-coin-offerings-and-crypto-currency/#whenHK: http://www.sfc.hk/web/EN/regulatory-functions/intermediaries/licensing/do-you-need-a-licence-or-registration.html#1 |

I dont think a dump that occurred few hours ago has got anything to do with the hack that happened earlier. I can understand that 40 mil stolen and may be dumped today but thats tiny amount to move the bitcoin value all the way down to 6700 USD from 7500 USD.
Last time it moved by the difference of 1000 USD when Mt.Gox dumped their 400 million! I think its vague that the hack has got anything to do with it. I think its just that some whales are commonly dumping or trying to manipulate things here.
Gox dumping the bitcoin price down caused a downwards trend. I doubt that the latest hack has any real effect on the bitcoin price. None of the hacked funds are bitcoin. They are all ICO tokens that they got in the hack. $19.5 million-worth of NPXS tokens. r $13.8 million from Aston X, $5.8 million in tokens for Dent, , and over $1.1 million Tron. |

Best way to obtain merit is to forget about merit.
Merit is unimportant unless you place some value on rank.
Write about something that you are really passionate about and have spent a lot of time researching.
People like reading things that they don't know or that saves them time searching for.
The best posters on here are either knowledgeable, skilled writers or have written some iconic article that people keep reading.
Do things because they are the right thing to do - not because you get rewarded for them.

Harold Thomas Finney II, a southern California coder, was Satoshi. He claimed to have received the first transaction from Satoshi just a few days after the genesis block. I think he sent the transaction to himself. Satoshi used a @gmx.com mail address. Finney was the very first person to post on the Sourceforge page of Bitcoin using a @gmx.com address. His vernacular and writing style are almost identical to the posts of Satoshi.
Finney knew in late 2009 that he was dying of ALS. The “Satoshi” persona was a necessary creation to remove him from the limelight. Bitcoin was too much for him to control while dealing with the onset of a terminal disease. He turned over the alert keys to Gavin Andresen and backed away from an active role in the development of his creation.
He knew his creation would never be trusted if most of the initially mined “testing” coins were ever to show up on the market so those coins were never spent. He may have intentionally disposed of the private keys to many of the addresses to ensure they would never hurt his brainchild. Some of the coins he mined in the beginning were used to pay for medical bills and cryogenic preservation of his body after his death. Those “Satoshi” addresses are as dead as Hal Finney.
Hal Finney would be my favorite pick out of the candidates for being Satoshi. He was an amazing inspiring person without the Satoshi identity. Bitcoin and me (Hal Finney) is one of the posts he wrote. |

   I've read the whitepaper and in a lot of Western countries this would be considered an "unregistered security" and therefore illegal. Perhaps you can tell us the identities of the organizers and the reason for the logo and marketing material similarities. |
