ive seen fake money used many times, hell, certain churches like to use them to give to people instead of tips. waiter thinks its $10/50/100, they pull it out and see "why beg for money when you can pray for forgiveness?" crap on it. only to lose their job for not getting enough tips or some crap like that.

its only illegal if its trying to copy real Legal tender. if you see a brief full of wads of Canadian cash, only to get close and see "Play my gaem! eh?" on it. at least it made you look.
Okay. I never heard about anything like that in real life. Can you link me to some stories by some trusted sources on frauds like this?

I have the Cointerras, no idea how to separate from the board without damaging them though.
In lieu of a rework station, a hot air gun or hot plate will do.  The solder should melt long before the chip would be physically damaged.  Remove as much thermal paste as possible.  Plenty of other components on those boards you can practice on Smiley  Check out YouTube, search for 'desolder BGA' to get some idea of approaches.  I'd heat from the bottom even if using a heat gun, just because it's a pretty big chip carrier and it'll probably be easier to get the solder balls molten if heated from the bottom, rather than through the package.

sand in a fry pan set to medium high even? let it sit for a bit till you can poke a screwdriver at it and make it move with ease?

I realize some of the more watchful members may think it odd that i keep responding / explaining myself, but w/e. This in an entertaining thread and im having a blast

what really made you just jump in all the commotion over GoldBits and us and just say "Screw you guys, ima buying"? did greed/"gold Bug" kick in?

Greed. I PM'ed him and for some reason I felt I could trust him. I originally asked him to provide ID, phone verify, and get me info about the restaurant he mentioned he had. He declined all this (due to security of keeping gold at home), and suggested he will just wait till he gets the 'maplegrams' and have an easier time selling them at a discount to get rep. This is where greed kicked in (I wanted to take advantage of this bargain), and I said to hold on and that for the good price I can be flexible. I ended up trusting him.

At best you are making it easier for GB to scam in the future by telling people about your successful trade, and at worse (and IMO more likely) you are either an alt of him or associated with him, also with the goal of scamming people via the GB account

What can I say; I made a gamble, and it (seemingly) turned out legit. I can vouch for the quality of the transaction, but not for the gold bars or future sales. I truly hope nobody gets scammed; everyone should make their own judgements.
I cant prove I'm not GB or associated with GB. It is true this could be an elaborate scam. I can only wish I had the ability to plan that well. but I can say that is not the case.

In this case the "buyer" happened to be near the "seller"

Actually, we were over 2000 miles apart. GB even paid out-of-pocket for express mail (~$50usd). Dont ask me why; I dont know.

all i can say is you and goldbits are both insane!

i could never trust someone who is trying to take full control of the sale, since i have lost 6btc to a scam myself (escrow and scammer in the same team), i trust no one now. if i was going to buy the coin, id want him to go with my ideals, right to the point that he have to ware a banana as a hat till i get the coin in my hand..

bad enough goldbit likes to rub my paranoia the wrong way..
worst case is, you are part of the same team, trying to con as much btc and split it.

He doesn't even need to start selling larger bars, all he needs to do is to sell to multiple people at once. In this case the "buyer" happened to be near the "seller" however for future transactions, it is likely that he will both delay sending the coins/bars more and the overall shipping time will be slower, giving him more time to scam more people

That is true, but it has more risk that way, they must be all at the same time to get anything worth it.
makes it worse when its "pay me 1st, you can trust me!"

also edited the last post, little more clarification

You got balls

Joys of long cons, gotta lose a little to game for more

"Hi, i can guarantee you 500% return on shares, just gimmie $10k you'll get $5M back tomorrow" -> next day, briefcase full of money, person goes again for $50M, con artist runs away with the $50M.. same can apply here, 1Oz coin sold, starts selling 5Oz bars, runs with the 25btc.

shit can get more elaborate the more people involved, EG: Hi, i can guarantee you 500% return on shares, just gimmie $10k you'll get $5M back tomorrow" person being con'ed has doubts, another con artist thats been working with the con for some time jumps in and throws his money in, same thing happens the next day, briefcase full of money, 2nd artist wants to throw more money in being so happy about the winnings, the con target this time wants in, throws in $50M, atists run with the cash.

same can apply here, elianite could be the 2nd atist (hell, could be the only one, and using GoldBits as a puppet) buys in to kill scepticism, people go "oh, it looks fine then" and buys a bar or 5 for 100btc, after payment, GoldBits is never to be seen again.

A good warning for everyone. Its worth noting that the quality of the pictured coin is completely different then the real thing.

im just sitting here waiting for the "..and the coin is fake" post

you'll know the final word within 24 hours.

Hmmmm.  Well just the front quality looks like they
were stamped from cheap aluminum in China and
painted with a 3rd grade paint set.

there are others that do copies, proper gold plating over a copper core

453  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: GoldBits - Newbie scammer on: February 26, 2015, 12:54:15 AM
Yeah the big question is whether the coin is fake, I hope for eliainite's sake its real.

Think the big problem will be whether the next sale will be real or fake, with so much negative feedback it will be hard for him to sell anything anyway.

all it would take is another "lets just trust this guy" elianite.
454  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: GoldBits - Newbie scammer on: February 26, 2015, 12:42:41 AM
Just a warning:

http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/B88-1-oz-100-Mils-Gold_60077398459.html

I posted it on his thread but of course it was deleted in a few seconds.

Quote
So far I count 15 negative feedbacks left for this guy. What happens if the gold coin turns out to be real? Will he still be branded a scammer?

It's due to be removed. I don't get why anyone would sell this way but perhaps it turns him on.

Hasn't been removed. Exactly as I predicted. What are the odds?  Grin  No, the self-moderation is because I ran out of troll spray. Works just as good though!

1oz gold bars coming up for sale soon, now that I'm proven a legitimate gold seller here.

I might be interested in a gold bar. Let's see how this deals ends up first though.

Yes lets see, very doubtful about seller no doubt this will be deleted too.

Also, even if the first coin was legit, there's no guarantee the following (after he's "proven a legitimate gold seller here") are this:
http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/B88-1-oz-100-Mils-Gold_60077398459.html

So buying without escrow from him will always be an unacceptable risk.

Clearly his intention is to make people trust him and make them send first without escrow.

Most probably he will either run with the money or send back fake coins.




i would buy a gold bar off him, if he can prove its not a fake. but noting stops him from sending a fake too.

im just sitting here waiting for the "..and the coin is fake" post

but only if elianite didn't feel embarrassed by it..

i wish i was in elianite shoes too, willing to throw a few btc at someone looking so fishy like that.
456  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: GoldBits - Newbie scammer on: February 25, 2015, 11:09:31 AM
I mean the whole way the guy acted screamed scammer. This is gonna be funny but sad.

all i required was better communication from him, instead of deleting questions and showing regards to accusations, even if he didn't want to escrow, explain why, instead of calling people who are asking about it trolls.

and calling themselfs "I'm an honest & reputable seller" with nothing to back it up really dug deeper into that hole..

showing legitimacy of the coin, would of helped, without being there with my own xray
457  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: GoldBits - Newbie scammer on: February 24, 2015, 10:08:26 PM
fingers crossed for you Smiley

Are you planning on having an xrf test done etc?

Thanks.

In all likelihood I will sell it straight to a coin dealer for cash, or however it works. Theres a big one in my city that buys these things. then Ill just buy BTC again with the money. Decent profit to be had.

just as long as it wasn't this:

458  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: GoldBits - Newbie scammer on: February 24, 2015, 09:50:53 PM
Usual scammer profile applies -

Newbie member - check
No trade history - check
Refusing Escrow - check
Wants you to send 1st - check
No pics of goods on offer - check
Goods offered at amazing price - check

1 of 4 scenarios apply -

1) Either he doesnt have the coin full stop and its a scam.
2) He has one but has no intention of sending it so a scam.
3) He has a piss poor fake/copy hoping to pass it off as the real thing.
4) Trolls couldn't stop me from selling my coin for 4BTC

oh the dank of scammer is strong on this one..

seriously though, if i was in his shoes, i would have thrown up info on where it was bought, i'd even show x-rays of the damn coin
459  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: GoldBits - Newbie scammer on: February 24, 2015, 01:09:22 AM
well, he doesn't want to come here and clear their name because "Sorry but I won't get involved in flame wars..." and also wants to know ".. If there is an official rule broken or someone who has lost money to me, then by all means point it out." (from PM'ing the person with: you have a accusation to clear https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=964881.0 )

now going at the speeds the fans are going:
Fan speed rpm: 350-1000 (+-10%)
22db is about right at about 1 meter away, and they have to be over the 140mm mark too..

I'll believe it when I see it.  I spent a lot of time making my computer near silent when idle, and that's only 120w that I'm trying to dissipate.

you haven't played with Noctua Fans have you? 22.4db at 1200rpm for a 12cm fan http://www.acousticpc.com/noctua_nf-f12_pwm_120mm_quiet_pc_fan.html .. as we can see the fans in this system is Not them (following links to one of the threads shows some crappy pictures)
