(to QuantumQrack) If anyone is a scammer here, it's you. I think you're trying to sucker him into refunding money someone else paid. If not, though, you are truly stupendously stupid.
Nail on the head, in my opinion, at first I thought he had just seen the Bitcoin price spike and decided to cash out, but the more he keeps wildly throwing accusations around whilst refusing to accept a refund to an address I know was controlled by the original buyer, the more I'm starting to think that you may be right.
QuantumQrack, please stop disseminating FUD without evidence.
Luceo said via IRC that he would refund EVERYBODY's btc, which obviously has not taken place. One point to remember, when you send your btc, it is effectively gone.
Fact #1: I have not ever said that I will refund everybody. What I said, and you can verify if you have the log, is that if the raffle is cancelled, everybody will receive a 100% refund. The raffle is not cancelled (as evidenced by the original post), therefore I won't send refunds to people who haven't asked for them.
Although my personal amount was small, the aggregate of people's btc can be significant.
Fact #2: You bought these tickets, presumably, so you read the original post which clearly has no clause by which you can obtain a refund in lieu of a cancellation. Despite this, I have offered you a refund. You have not lost any Bitcoins assuming you're actually the buyer of these tickets, which you can prove by simply proving that you own one of the deposit or payout address.
When requesting a refund I have met nothing but resistance, classic scammer attitude.
Fact #3: Three times, now, you have offered me different addresses to refund you to. None of those addresses are the payout address which you signed up with, or the input address you used to send 2 BTC to me. I'm not going to refund somebody else's money to you, if you've hacked his forum account or just happen to share a name. If you are the real client, you should be happy that I've given you this level of security and am, in fact, looking after your Bitcoins.
I suspect that Luceo's charity is a large scam, with no funds being sent to help anybody at any time.
Fact #4.1: This is the only charity-based thing I've ever done on this forum. All prior raffles have been for-profit endeavors with no funds going to charity. With the last raffle, I sent a proportion of the profits to a developer which is verified with a transaction ID in that thread.
Any charity affiliated with Luceo is suspect as is Luceo's character.
Fact #4.2: I'm not affiliated to Opportunity International, which is a globally known charity dealing with hundreds of millions of dollars a year. I'm just raising money for them because I believe in their mission.
My particular payment was immediately sent to an address used by Usagi, therefore I conclude that it is probable he is part of this as well.
Fact #5: Your payment probably either went to CPA (usagi's company) on behalf of Fennec Internet Services, or was a payment of an escrow I did for usagi and EskimoBob. He has no connection to this raffle. The only operators are tenakha and myself.
If the charity had worked as planned, I am sure somebody would have "won"--but again I suspect that they are pocketing the largesse of the btc and not sending it to people whom they say they are sending it to.
Fact #6: I'm aware that sales suck. That's what happen when the value of Bitcoin triples in three months. All of a sudden instead of trying to raise $3000, I'm trying to raise over $8000. That's not something I chose, that's the nature of Bitcoin. If you want to check prior winners, feel free to, all of the winners were decided by the blockchain and all of the winners posted confirming receipt of their Bitcoin on the thread... unless you're accusing my competitor (a5m0) and the operator of one of the largest pools in history (ozcoin) of conspiring with me...

Fact #7: Whilst it is possible that QuantumQrack has lost access to both the deposit & payout addresses (he hasn't indicated that, but it seems that it's his natural next point of argument), I have no way to verify that this is correct and he was aware when he purchased tickets that any payout would go to his indicated payout address (1GGr8xzXSNPkhtv2TJ2ndd9os4nTSXF2zF). I don't think I can refund to anything other than this address or the deposit address, as those are what I was using to verify clients.
If you want a refund, please do the only thing I've asked you to do all along and tell me which of the deposit address (
1NB4igXt2X85wEbJLF6J51L3WZxXtx8sjs) or the payout address (
1GGr8xzXSNPkhtv2TJ2ndd9os4nTSXF2zF) you'd like me to refund to.
If you're not trying to scam me
and the buyer of the tickets, please (instead of posting another wall of text with the same bunch of false accusations) do the following:
1). Indicate which of the two addresses (1NB4igXt2X85wEbJLF6J51L3WZxXtx8sjs or 1GGr8xzXSNPkhtv2TJ2ndd9os4nTSXF2zF) you would like your money sent to, using this template:
'I would like my 2.0 BTC refund to be processed to <address> on or before 28th April 2013.'
2). Sign that message with your Bitcoin client, using the address you've selected to receive the refund to (and no others, I will verify the address).
3). Post the message and signature in this thread.
If you're unwilling to perform this simple set of steps, all of the
'resistance' is at your end, and I will have to assume you're just a scammer trying to make $60 at my expense. Any legitimate client would be pleased that I'm not allowing anyone else to authorize their money being moved on their behalf with no proof that they are the client.
