He wanted a Coin to be made vs. 5 LTC in this Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=230132.0

I accepted and he had to provide me the Logo as pic and as .ico file:
I will do it vs. 5 LTC
Upload the pic as .ico and .png anywhere and send me the link.

As i am busy with a very ill wife i am not sure if i get it finished this night

I finished the job w/o a changed icon as this was not provided by trucoin:
Source and Win-qt: https://mega.co.nz/#!f4BTiZKT!JCjOPhjsKKPuyjbopIiraFtWn3hyfcVxm-uTUdrqNdY
All Coins to be mined in first 3 Blocks as requested; QT.exe in /release

My LTC: Le6ojChg5NuKBuJeKXEdfSBzhUPZrzpad4

Enjoy your coin Smiley

Following he was missing some DLLs to run the QT which i provided, and after:
i cannot just copy the qt to another coins file and it works here is the icon.

<<Here was the pic>>

As soon as i get a working  windows binary i will pay you the 5 LTC

Going into town so when i get back i hope everthing is ready. thank you so much for your efforts
i will make payment today
making payment sorry for any delay
whats you ltc address

I sent him the LTC adress again. Then no incoming transaction after a few days i wrote him:
please send me the tx of the payment, nothing received yet
Ok i waited long enough! Pay within 24hours or you'll be reported as scammer

Again my LTC: Le6ojChg5NuKBuJeKXEdfSBzhUPZrzpad4


He made up some shit for not to pay:
you did not follow any instruction and as soon as I downloaded any of your stuff it tried stealing mu wallet. you did not bother to change any of the icons as requested. I have record of all malware and my request for you to change the icons and you did not listen to my request so therefor you broke our agreement . I can Easley report you for trying to steal my wallets with you malware you included in your files

Which i replied:
Bullshit! There is no wallet stealer or any virus in any of my software!
If you had such good "proof" why don't you send me? And also proof it is found in the files i provided, unchanged.

The .ico would be changed if you provided it as i said in first msg
I will do it vs. 5 LTC
Upload the pic as .ico and .png anywhere and send me the link.

As i am busy with a very ill wife i am not sure if i get it finished this night

Also you already commited to payment with working QT file, which you have
i cannot just copy the qt to another coins file and it works here is the icon.

As soon as i get a working  windows binary i will pay you the 5 LTC

Going into town so when i get back i hope everthing is ready. thank you so much for your efforts
there is no malware in my work everybody feel free to proof. TruCoin is a scammer and needs to have the scammer tag

He admitted his scamming (he also scammed User Barwizi) in these 2 threads:

Doesn't everyone have him on ignore already? Every coin he's released has been a piece of shit and died within a couple of days.

I was witness to this.

Please ban and scammer tag TruCoin, he has been up to a number of other shady dealings on the forum also.

Hi All

Trucoin tried to get people to sign up here at BCT for this bitcoin service https://www.trucoin.com/ the ANN has since been removed.

I signed up using a specific email addy only used for this signup. Were not all stupid... LOL

I recieved a cex.io warning that login attempts were made from the following IP's also recieved warnings from the mail provider I used for the
signup.

190.39.91.2 proxy IP

62.122.78.16 trace to stroisnab@62.122.78.16 here https://www.yoctoproject.org/irc/%23yocto.2014-04-05.log.html via google

Whomever is running trucoin looks to be trying to phish for login info to steal bitcoins.

Beware of this phishing scam.

Gentlemen,

Just to be clear, there are two very different things going on here:

1) A random (an apparent scammer) registered the username "TruCoin"

2) My company, Trucoin, has launched the world's fastest way to buy bitcoin in eight (soon to be 30) US states.

We have no control over what usernames people select on forums.  The maintainers of this forum have refused to assist us in clearing this up, but it's their site, and therefor their choice to make.

However, I do believe that the bitcoin community is smart enough to know the difference between a random forum user and a legitimate company.

If you have any questions, we're always available to answer them at trucoin.com.

Best regards,
Chris Brunner
