I am new to this world of bitcoin and I hope I never mess with it again! The question is:

I bought a lifetime account uploaded.to member of the Coin-Exchange.CC and then I did what he said he would pay me the account after 6 confirmations that was on the 11th of December and I do not understand this and would like to know how long takes to get those 6 confirmations? In my wallet in blockchain says it already has a 445 confirmations! And now he no longer answers my mp's!

How should I proceed? Or I lost my bitcoins?

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Oh, bad news then...
Coin-Exchange.cc is known as a scammer on the German board and in some other subforums
He also does an escrow scam using bitmerch (bitcoin shopsystem) and many other bad things.

How much paid you him?

everyone speaks bad of my country here just apes and  thiefs! But all businesses have made here or the staff of the Japan never had problems here I thought it was a world first forum and I'm stealing this way! Excuse my rant but never experienced it before! Live and learn! And unfortunately thief has to be everywhere in my country (Brazil) or here, is only discrimination that should not have anywhere!

The name of my "friend" is Coin-Exchange.CC

Is there anything I can do to not get into mischief?

What fate do scammers deserve...

I would like to work on development of a polymorphic altcoin that maintains a stable value and is more resistant to fraud.

Always use a trusted escrow when trading. Of course he must be known as a trusted one. You shouldnt simply use some other noob account who claims to be an escrow because the other mght suggest him. The escrow might be another account of the scammer. But if a real escrow is involved your money is safe until the trade is done. Thats how you trade securely.

Please ALWAYS contact me through bitcointalk pm before sending someone coins.

I completly agree with the above.

It's a shame as there seems to be so many more scammers in here now which obviously puts a terrible image of bitcoin to new comers

Thats why i think its important to catch the scammers. For example i work with others to find the labcoin scammer. When these guys see they land in jail for messing with bitcoin community then scams will become less likely. Of course some groundrules still have to apply.

Please ALWAYS contact me through bitcointalk pm before sending someone coins.

^^^
perhaps they can sit in the same cell as Pirate, Ian, Tradefortress, Ukyo and what.. literally 30 other people ?
Ahhh wait.. I always get tropical Island mixed up with Jail cell.. my mistake !

 

It wont change if bitcoiners life after the motto of "not throwing good money after bad money". Pirate was catched... labcoin scammer will be catched too. And it looks like bitcoiners changed mind. They will go after them.

If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?

General rule of thumb is that you're a new user and you choose to do business with other new users, there is a 100% chance that you will get scammed, or you're a scammer yourself.

AFTER we get scammed, we wish that we could destroy the coins that we've been swindled of.

BFL!
