Master-P SCAMMER. I lost complete faith in this forum now.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

was the real Master-P always such an asshole?

i find it hard to believe that he/she could have made it into big5 with an attitude like that.

I'll be adding blatant sig spammers to my ignore list so I don't have to spend as much time sifting through garbage posts while trying to resolve this. Starting with you.

Can someone show me where I can download Armory 0.93.3? I can only see 0.93.2 as the latest/stable on the Armory website.

the sooner you realize that nobody is interested in your opinion on anything the sooner you can start working on returning those coins

Yeah, I've always been a dick to blatant signature spammers who post without anything valuable to add to the conversation. People like them ruin this community as much as scammers do. 95% of these boards are garbage nonconstructive spam while the other 5% of valuable content is burried deep under all of that bullshit.

I was never a part of the "big5".

Oh the fucking irony of you being the escrow for signature campaigns...

Instead of going on with your usual bullshit, why dont you fucking hurry up with refunding all the people you owe?

Are you retarded or just a troll?

Do you not know that I am already working on this? Not going to bother with replying to people like you anymore. People act like my dox is a big fucking deal, I don't care if I get dox'd or not regardless if I repay the funds or not. Doxxing me won't change the fact that I will work to repay everyone if the wallet is lost. I'm already working on getting my wallet restored to have the funds sent back to everyone, what the fuck more do you want? Are you one of the victims who got their money taken from them?

Anyway, added to ignore list. So fucking done with this community.

[madjules007]

It's not your forum, dude, and I could give two fucks whether you put me on ignore or not.  You shouldn't have to sift through anything on this forum to be able to return the money.  You do realize this whole debacle has turned the forum on its head, correct?

No one said it was his forum. It's a thread about him, in which he is trying to explain himself. You're just being needlessly abusive towards the only person that can make this right. You have no skin in this game. It's blatantly obvious to anyone here that you're just here to spam for signature payouts. Just fuck off already.

And no, this didn't turn the forum on its head. Frankly, it's a little bump in the road. You'd know that if you'd been here longer than a few months.

These fucking signature spammers.

Sorry, who are you again?

I'll have you know that I was posting here long before I joined the Yobit campaign and opposed the sig spam as well.  I've also already met the limit for Yobit today, but I find the forum interesting and thus I post.  He's discouraging his critics by doing the same fucking thing you're doing, which is to discount the criticism solely because it comes from a user who's wearing a campaign signature.  That's complete bullshit, sir, and my comment about this not being his forum was spot-on.  We are free to discuss this sort of thing and it's not for him to call up the censors.

I have been here longer than a few months.  I didn't just discover bct when I registered.

Maybe it is a bump in the road.  That would be nice and that'll be the case if/when he returns the funds.  He bitches about sig spammers but has no problem being escrow for sig campaigns.  I find that distasteful.

[GSpgh]

I'm one of the people that he owes, so I am concerned by your question here. While I do urge him to refund me and everyone else, the negativity and comment abuse going on here is disgusting. Can we stop acting like animals for a second?

He's going to refund the people here, sooner or later. If he doesn't, or shows that he somehow does not intend to do that, or is blatantly lying, then his personal data will be shown to the public, leading to lawsuit, or maybe, even worse.

So for now, I beg the people here to stop blatantly going at him, it really won't lead anywhere at this point.  

nobody's "going at him", Master-P is playing forum sheriff here apparently with nothing better to do

but you're right I don't have a horse in this race so why should I care... good luck everyone and I mean it in a non-sarcastic way

Yeah....I don't buy any of that shit. I didn't discount anything because of your signature. I said you were being needlessly abusive, which was true. You're doing absolutely nothing to help anyone. You're just being a drama queen. This has nothing to do with censorship (LOL)... that's laughable. This is a scam thread directed at him -- and you're here bitching like a little girl at everything he says. If you would actually like to see people paid, keep it constructive.

By the way, there is a distinction to be made between a signature campaign and the portion of participants that are blatant spammers.

[tommorisonwebdesign]

Holy fuck this whole thread is ridiculous. First master-p gets hacked, (possibly) then there's a bunch of angry cursing at each other on top of sig spammers spaaming to up their post count. Would everyone chill out and could the real master-p "please stand up" - LOL.

[james.lent]

This thread has turned into a joke

As for master-p being a long time forum member who sells gpu and stuffs and been running an escrow service for quite sometime, im sure he knows a thing or two about computer security hence the excuse stating that he's been hacked is utter bollocks. Just my 2 cents.

And now for some entertainment :

Please lock this thread and have mater-p open a self moderated thread so we can get away from all the bullshit and get people their money back.

Scam accusation threads cannot be self moderated. Both the victims and the accused need to be able to present their side of the story/evidence in these types of threads.

Unfortunately it appears that a number of trolls are taking advantage of this in this thread and are posting complete bs

Is that the case? He wouldn't be the first escrow on this forum who engaged in dodgy security practices. Simply being an escrow doesn't mean that you have good security practices. It might mean that those security lapses hadn't bitten him.....until now.

New forum software idea: Multisig threads. Like self-moderated threads, only two(or more) people (in this case, victims and the accused) must agree delete post, instead of just one.
Pretty clever, I must say

The repayment thread wouldn't be an accusation anymore since it'd be started by master-p, it could probably go under the Reputation section. I'm just getting tired of seeing endless trolls and stupid questions by sig spammers.

I agree id rather see a thread concentrating on those of us who are involved in getting their money back vs troll city from ppl who have no stake in the deal.

Alright so bad news is it seems like the hacker does indeed have control of the escrow wallet. I can't decrypt it anymore using the password I previously had so it has been changed. I won't be able to return the coins sent to the escrow addresses. I also noticed a lot of the addresses sent to the hacker are not addresses from my escrow wallet except for a few.

My tipping address was also within the same wallet so any funds in that address has also been taken: https://blockchain.info/address/14PUWBwK854GLenxSa7MAuxXQUXK4DKKi5

This address contains about 2.1 of my own BTC from fees/tips I've gathered from escrowing this past year. The rest seems to be sent to them by other people, as instructed by whoever gained access to my bitcointalk account.

In this case I will have no choice but to repay everyone using my own funds. Unfortunately I don't possess the liquidity to be able to repay everyone all at once, but rest assured I will work to pay this off. I apologize again for this. It was my own negligence for not keeping better back ups.

I will be creating a repayment thread in the reputation section and it will be self-modded to prevent the trolls from trying to mess things up any further.

I'll be contacting individuals who have had their funds taken away from them, will ask for verification and then will proceed to paying each person one by one when funds become available.

At this point I am sure a lot of people won't even believe me. If that's the case then go right ahead and dox me, either way it won't matter to me.

Thanks to Kingzee for creating this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1307926.0

I'll be using that thread to cross-reference the addresses I can see in the wallet and make payments accordingly. I'll also be asking for repayment addresses just so I don't end up sending it to the wrong people or people trying to claim the payments that don't belong to them. Too many god damn trolls here, consider this my last reply to this particular thread.

Sorry for disappointing everyone, I too had my hopes up.

Are you absolutely sure that you don't have any backup of the wallet somewhere so you can recover it? You are sure that you don't have paper backups, backups on external drives, backups on flashdrives, etc.?

If you don't have access to the wallet but the hacker does, then why aren't the funds gone yet?

Also, would you be willing to send a trusted member a copy of your wallet (it is encrypted so nothing can be stolen really) so that they can verify that the addresses the supposed hacker used are not actually in your wallet?

Lastly, if you solicit donations for repayment, can you use a multisig escrow with multiple trusted escrows on the forum (they can't be all bad or colluding right?) That would ensure that the victims can get their funds back and that you aren't scamming the donors.

[tommorisonwebdesign]

You might want to get a second job master-p. McDonalds I hear offers great career opportunities, including free health insurance and paid college tuition.

[FruitsBasket]

Damn man! That fucking hacker totally fucked u up. Stole all your generated income and also leaves you with a debt to people thta u might never can repay because it is quite alot. In this case u just hoped bitcoin was regulated by any goverment and that u could step to the police or something than pay out of your own pocket.

Anyways, it is cool that u make a repayment plan, and I hope the admin will get you your forum account back.
Good luck, I think we should help repaying, it is not all his fault.

I have the wallet files backed up and restored but my password isn't working thus I'm unable to send any funds out. The hacker likely didn't move the funds because he already knows he has full control over them and can move them anytime they want.

And no, I won't be needing to ask for donations. Not like anyone would want to donate directly to me anyway after all of this. It is my own fuck up for getting keylogged or whatever it was, I don't expect or want anyone to step in for me. I'll be able to repay everyone on my own.

[owlcatz]

so do you have the btc to actually repay? that is quite generous of you considering how many other have scammed directly or indirectly, so i admire you for that at least.

Edit just curious, not being nosy asshole, sorry. I feel bad for you actually especially if that is really you and being sincere.
