I wouldn't mind acting as an escrow for free, as long as you can agree on a specific level and there are no ambiguities.

I was going to suggest either Direwolf or Blancode, as I know they have previous experience on that. Your trade is history is rather amazing, so for a small ammount of 25$, I think that's fine by me.

About the level, for what I've understood in the OP, the character is currently at level 52 and has to be leveled up to 60. Some more info on the class, etc would be helpful

Who would be the escrow in the deal? Depending on that I might be interested

1404  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM] BETNOMI - Fake team, ID and Linkedin used without owner authorizations on: April 19, 2020, 09:13:41 PM
I'm sorry I'm necro-bumping this thread. I'm replying on behalf of betnomi, as I've explained in this post from this thread.

I'll mostly copy-paste the explanation that has already been given at the other thread, since it's a more recent one.




Regarding the Abdul Rehman case:

The owner knew Abdul from past projects, and he was indeed part of the team. He was asked for his ID and a photo to be used in the team tab. There's a contrat signed too. What happened here? The name Abdul Rehman was a nickname; he had another legal name (ID provided). That could have let to a confusion with the linkeding profile; let's note that the OP had found Abdul, rather than getting linked from the website.

Part of the contract and some conversations between Abdul and the owner of betnomi---> PDF at Mega (some information has been redacted). The contract itself cannot be made public, since there is some confidential information.

Regarding the Rahul Vyas case:

As with Abdul, there's a part of the conversation between the owner and Rahul at the PDF at Mega.
As we can read, an agreement was reached, unlike what Rahul stated in the scam accusation screenshots. The owner does also say that they did indeed sign a contract. Since that would be some hard to refute evidence, I've instructed him to search for said contract. Should he find it, I'll update this post/reply on the thread. As requested by the owner, some information has been redacted (payments in this case). No payment was made in the end, because in words of the owner, Rahul asked for a higher payment after his information was published on the website (and after signing the contract). That conversation is unfortunately unavailable, and without the contract to back up the version of the owner, it'll be up to each user following the thread to believe one or the other.
I am aware about the fact that the screen names in the conversation I've uploaded on this PDF doesn't match the one the owner of betnomi has provided, but we are not going to ask for KYC, are we? It's the same person, that I can say.
1405  Economy / Reputation / Re: PM from betnomi. on: April 19, 2020, 09:10:33 PM
I had been talking to the owner of betnomi about a possible job oportunity as their CM here in the forum for the last couple of days; I was not aware of this mess of PMs, and for the whole evening, we've been going over every question raised so far together to try to answer them the best possible way. I'm not currently working for them; I'm doing this for free, mostly because I have spare time during lockdown so I'm not associated with betnomi.

Now that that has been explained, let's go point out the obvious: the owner of betnomi doesn't know how this forum works, let alone the trust/flag system. That has lead to this mess we're seeing right now. I'm not trying to justify the actions that have been taken until now by betnomi; had they hired a CM sooner, none of this would have happened, but they didn't and hare we are now. I'll first address the questions raised in this thread, and will add the explanations to the old thread too. The old thread will also be updated, but only answering the accusations raised there. All the answers I'll give are a copy-paste (with a bit of rewording in some cases) from the conversation I've had with the owner.

Before I start, I'll once again say that I'm not associated or receiving any kind of payment from betnomi; I'm acting as a middleman between a user that does not understand how this forum works and the people that are following this thread.




First of all, I'd like to apologize on behalf of the owner of betnomi for the PMs you have received. As I have already explained, the owner has little knowledge about how trust related stuff is handled in the forum. Some of you may know think that me acting as a middleman right now is not the best idea, but after everything I've talked about with the owner, I think that's the best (and maybe only) way of addressing every issue that is brought in a calm and straight way. The wording of the PMs was also something far from ideal, but there's nothing that can be done now about that.

The scam accusation was made over a year ago, and they even never bothered to respond to it or clear up the air. Why now?
Instead, what they did was this;
--snipped image--

The ICO had been cancelled and the project became a self funded one, so there was no need for an ANN. That's why it was "deleted" (edited to just show XXs). Now that the platform is re-launching, the owner wants a fresh start, and that's why he's been reaching out to the people supporting the flag and leaving the negative trust. He didn't reply back in the day because he was busy building the platform, and apart from the lack of knowledge about how the forum works, he didn't have many time to reply to these accusations. It was not the best move, but again, we can't change the past.

I didn't get a reply from them at that time. In provably fair games, users are to be provided with the seed hash prior to the game to prove that the results aren't predetermined or manipulated. In the case of Betnomi, they give you server seed but not the output hash. The result is generated by merging the server seed with the first three clients' seeds.  Even if you are one of the first client seed, in no way you can know the other two client seed provided are not manipulative figures.

I still believe they are sketchy and would not remove my support unless they come clean about the fake team and about how the game works.

I'm sorry you didn't get a reply on that, it most likely went unnoticed. Here's your answer:

3 client seeds are used to generate the out come of the game and there is the possibility a user can submit his own seed which will be included in the hashing process. If a user needs to verify anything, he can use the provably fair tool on the website. If that is not enough, he can use any SHA512 Hash calculator online and will get the same result. The platform is not provided by us, but by a platform provider that has been in the businness for over 15 years. The games are created, hosted and maintained by them and we do not have access to the source code, so there's no way we can mess around with anything. Besides, the platform provider has multiple RNG certifications and gaming licences. (I've uploaded them into a PDF on Mega, in case someone wants to see them.) The product is white labbeled, and we have signed a NDA, so the numbers that could trace back to them have been redacted.

The platform provider has some default templates, and upon deciding which one you are going to use, they rebrand it for you. That's the reason behind the similarities and even some same terms between Suprabets, as mentioned in the OP.

I am the one who tag them first for fake team accusation. They have sent me PM as well before they start review campaign. They had tried convince me to work with them. But I just ignore their PM. But its seems they want to remove their negative feedback very quickly and offering bribe indirectly. See the last part of their message,

Please, let me know if this is something you will consider doing and of course, we will compensate you for your work.
Does it mean if I had agreed to work with them then they was encouraged to pay me a handsome amount? Isn't like something bribe?
This is indeed another case of terrible word choice in the PM, same as with

I kindly request you to remove the negative trust from our account and maybe add a positive one.
As Lauda did also point out in the other PM. Had I known he was going to be sending PMs to everybody, I'd have tried to stop it, but again, the past can't be changed. Luckily, the owner has realized that this behaviour was more damaging than helping.




Now let's get started with the old accusation. This part will be copy-pasted with a small introduction and link to this thread, to try to have a single one rather than 2.

For what I've understood, there were 2 things that lead to the scam accusation:
(copy pasted from the Open Scam accusation)
  • "Abdul Rehman "UI / UX Designer", he confirmed to me by Linkedin that he did not have any links with the team, it could be a coincidence."
  • "Rahul Vyas confirms that its picture and information are used without its consent"

Regarding the Abdul Rehman case:

The owner knew Abdul from past projects, and he was indeed part of the team. He was asked for his ID and a photo to be used in the team tab. There's a contrat signed too. What happened here? The name Abdul Rehman was a nickname; he had another legal name (ID provided). That could have let to a confusion with the linkeding profile; let's note that the OP had found Abdul, rather than getting linked from the website.

Part of the contract and some conversations between Abdul and the owner of betnomi---> PDF at Mega (some information has been redacted). The contract itself cannot be made public, since there is some confidential information.

Regarding the Rahul Vyas case:

As with Abdul, there's a part of the conversation between the owner and Rahul at the PDF at Mega.
As we can read, an agreement was reached, unlike what Rahul stated in the scam accusation screenshots. The owner does also say that they did indeed sign a contract. Since that would be some hard to refute evidence, I've instructed him to search for said contract. Should he find it, I'll update this post/reply on the thread.

I am aware about the fact that the screen names in the conversation I've uploaded on this PDF doesn't match the one the owner of betnomi has provided, but we are not going to ask for KYC, are we? It's the same person, that I can say.



I think I've replied to every issue that's been brought up here, if I skipped anything, I'm sorry; it was not my intention. I'll now update the open scam accusation thread too, and feel free to and any more concern you may have here, and I'll try to get it solved.

Edit: I've just seen that OP of the old Open scam accusation has been "deleted" after I replied there. I am puzzled by this action, as that thread served as the main reference for both the flag and the negative trust provided by most users. I've archived it in case it gets deleted.  The only reasonable scenario I can think of, is that seeing that there is a new reputation thread about the same user, OP has decided it made no sense to have both threads open. It could have been moved to the archive, so that it could still be used as a reference; but I guess only the OP,  Hellmouth42 can answer that

De hecho bitcoin.com hizo mucho daño, y mas de un incauto perdió dinero por esa página.

Lamento tener que corregirte en esto, pero bitcoin . com todavia le hace daño a la comunidad. Casi cada semana llegan nuevos usuarios al foro pidiendo ayuda porque sus fondos no llegan a sus monederos (electrum normalmente), y más adelante se descubre que lo que han comprado es BCH... es el predeterminado en la web, y como al BTC le llaman, Bitcoin Core, pues la gente se equivoca

But you've already been answered to that; there is no known case YET. A lack of precedent does not mean a lack of vulnerability, so if you fear for your safety, act as if it was possible every time you handle a wallet from unknown sources (aka clients)

1409  Local / Primeros pasos y ayuda / Re: wallet Electrum on: April 18, 2020, 08:50:13 PM
Y con respecto a la cta Segwit , que es la que tengo , me dió un susto ya que quise enviar bitcoin desde
Criptomarket y no me reconocia la cuenta, por lo que deduzco que esa plataforma no opera con ese tipo de cuenta.  Si pude enviar desde otra empresa .Saludos

En efecto. A fecha de hoy hay 2 tipos de Segwit: Native (bc....) y Nested (3....) lo que va entre parentesis es con lo que empiezan las direcciones. Una dirección que empiea por 3... no tiene que ser necesariamente Segwit; puede ser una dirección de Legacy pero que tenga un sistema de multi-firma habilitada (antiguamente, el 2fa de Electrum era de este tipo). Si bien tu proveedor no reconoce el formato Nativo, seguramente si que reconozca el otro.

Creo que la explicacion del primer post y esta resumen todo lo suficiente, pero seguro que te preguntas ""porque tanto tema con Segwigt/Legacy?"
Basicamente, si tu direccion es Segwit, tus transacciones son más baratas. Versión tecnica resumida, cuando haces una transaccion, la comision de la misma se paga en función de tamaño de esta (satoshi/byte). Segwit abarata las transacciones porque "pesan menos".

Asique, ya sabes, "Support Segwit to pay lower fees!"

Edit: Lower fees... virgen santisima que aveces se me olvida el sentido de la frase....

It's definitely better with the progress... but, I can't manage to access the site using chrome for some reason? I tried both my PC and phone, cleared the cache but nothing helped, just stuck in the loading page with 0% progress. It's working fine with Edge and Firefox though.

I'm using Chrome and it works "fine".

I say "fine" because I've checked the 2 places that show up at my city, and apart from both websites being down, I can 100% say one of the does not exist, becuase its located at my ex-GFs place.... (really, what are the fck odds of that??)
1412  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I lost my old bitcoin wallet on: April 18, 2020, 03:58:49 PM
If you still have the old Electrum seed, you should be able to you should be able to simply recover it using Electrum. This is however not reccomended (unless you're going to recover funds) because you'll have exposed that seed. If you imported the addresses into blockchain.info/com, you should be able to get their private keys on the Wallet--Addresses tab; you can't export the private keys of blockchain addresses, but you can export the ones you've imported.

I'm not really sure about your objective here tough

1415  Local / Primeros pasos y ayuda / Re: wallet Electrum on: April 18, 2020, 10:18:14 AM
Si lo que quieres es añadirle 2fa a un wallet que has creado sin ser 2fa, la respuesta es no. No puedes. Sin embargo, nada te impide crear un nuevo wallet que SI tenga 2fa. Sil mal no recuerdo, las wallet 2fa de electrum funcionan con Native Segwit, por lo que tus direcciones empezarán por bc......

Aprovecho para decirte que antes de nada, revises que has descargado el instalador de electrum de su web oficial, y si puedes, verifica su firma también. La versión actual es la 3.3.8, si no estas usando esa, puedes tener una versión maligna instalada.

Ahora bien, un par de cosas importantes sobre el 2fa en electrum:

  • Algunos servicios no son compatibles con Native Segwit, por lo que no podras retirar tus monedas de esos servicios
  • Guarda MUY bien tu seed (semilla), en caso de perderla y perder el 2FA, no podrás enviar nada. Podrás ver tus claves privadas, ya que solo necesitas tu contraseña para eso, pero no exportarlas a ninguna otra wallet
  • Si pierdes el 2fa, es posible recuperarlo contactando con TrustedCoin. Sin embargo, te pedirán ciertos datos (email, fechas...) y tardará bastante tiempo. Si guardas la seed, si que es posible recuperar los fondos sin 2fa

Si lo que te preocupa es la seguridad, te recomiendo que te compres un Hardware Wallet. Son algo caros (60€-140€) pero ganarás muchísimo en seguridad, y además, sirven para más de 1 moneda, por lo que si vas a estar recibiendo alguna altcoin, te libras de tener que estar instalando una wallet por moneda. En mi caso uso un Trezor ONE, que funciona mediante una interfaz web y tiene un gestor de contraseñas. Ledger ofrece la posibilidad de usar su hardware con Electrum, por lo que es otra opción bastante viable.

Thank you too so much, I am still learning about the forum which will not take me more than two days, after this time, I will come up with topics and posts that will be useful. But I think topics will be more helpful as it can be easily seen than posts.

Well, I've been around for almost 4 years (with its off-times, lol) and I must tell you, it does indeed take more than a couple of days to learn about the forum. Another (helpful) advice if you are going to start creating threads is to question whether the thread is neccessary.

Let me explain myself here: There are some topics that are rather useful, but have been over-exploited; you get thousand of threads about the same topic. That is cocunter-productive, and mods will lock your thread or delete it. Always search if that "new" thing you are going to post is in fact "not new". Another thing related to that: don't necrobump unless it's 100% neccessary. I've seen users reply to posts from 2014 (6 years), with information that altough being "relevant" is completely unnecessary.

For example, everything merit related you've asked can be found either at the guides I linked or here, and many many more threads

I'm sure more users will tell you other things to take into account
1417  Economy / Gambling / Re: Freebitco.in profit cap on: April 17, 2020, 08:42:39 PM
I was wondering if there is a cap to the profit one can make on Freebitco.in, for example with multipy btc or betting.
The only profit cap I'm aware of in the whole site is the 20BTC MAX profit per Hi-Lo (Multiply) bet. That means that if you wager 10BTC at x2 odds, or 15BTC at those same x2 odds, you'll only win 20BTC in the event of winning. There's no limit I'm aware of in betting. Furthermore, both betting and Multiply games are encouraged, both by daily jackpots and monthly competitions (biggest bettors win those).


The same question can be asked in a different way, i.e. is there a cap to withdrawals on Freebitco.in?
I've been using the site for almost 4 years, and there is no withdrawal limit.

There are a couple of things that you can't do (faucet abuse) and that will lead to your account being blacklisted and unable to withdraw, but that's another thing, not a restriction per se. Some of those behaviours include using bots to claim the hourly faucet, multi accounts, ...

If you still have doubts about it, you can ask them both on the Gambling and on the Micro-Earnings threads they have, and TheQuinn will answer you whenever he is able to do so. I'd suggest you locked this topic now, to prevent further bumping it (lock topix should appear on the lower left of your screen).

First of all, welcome on board buddy!

Merit is something that you earn by posting quality content; other users must send it to you. Check this thread to see the requirements on activity and merit. You need to have enough of both to rank up.

If you don't want to wait, you can Buy a Copper membership, and that will lift some of the restriction to the account. (posting images, PM limits....)

Altough I must tell you; if you came here just wanting to make money, you came to the wrong place. It's true there are some signature campaigns that might let you earn something, but that shouldn't be the reason you join a forum.

Third, can you please tell me other things that can help me?

Interact with users in threads that interest you, ask questions, learn. People are usually friendly if you ask things the right way, and there's a lot you can learn
1419  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain has not been working for past 2 days even after app update on: April 17, 2020, 08:15:20 PM
There's not really much to add to what kevin has already said; altough I'd also suggest you used Electrum mobile wallet for your phone. You can download it from the play store (version 3.3.7) or the apk from the electrum website (version 3.3.8 ).

I have to disagree with kevin on the hardware wallets tough; I reccomend you buy one even for not big ammounts. They may seem somehow expensive at first, but it's worth it. You know you coins are going to be safe so long you keep your seed well stored offline, and you can even add a passphrase, that's kind of another layer of security on top of everything. You'll also have multiple altcoin wallets on the same device, so no fuzz about downloading a wallet for each coin
