Connection

The last account being simple-dice his most used account, simpledice is known as being the developer of gigadice. On November 9th Simpledice stops using the forum entirely and a new account called "stake" (bitticker guy) begins posting and is now the "new developer" of gigadice. They are linked in terms of both developing Gigadice (With Stake as dev) Gigadice thread (with Simple-dice as dev)

When you put the account "Jakemcrs" (One of the accounts I'm alleging is his alternate) into skype search it comes up with this:
The thing to note here is the name "Noah"



Who.is report for "Coinsafe.io"



I've elected to post here for a second opinion before leaving negative trust, but I do believe there is a connection and users should be cautious at the very least. As I've mentioned before the thing that tipped me off to the connection is their affiliation with gigadice. I generally like giving users the benefit of the doubt, but I previously had a hunch that Simple-dice was Jakemcrs/Loker and I didn't speak up.


Basically, unless gigadice hired another coder with the name Noah and got him to use bitcointalk one day after the other quit then this is a scam.

I developed GigaDice 2.0.

I know the developer of GigaDice version 1.0 and have spoken with him and continue to speak with him.

I purchased the domain name coinsafe.io from him.

I haven't scammed anyone and would not scam...  I do my best to help prevent scams.

I am connected to him but am not him.

Don't appreciate the accusation without any concrete proof (only circumstantial)...

And why would you say coinsafe.io is an unsafe wallet?  Do you have any basis for proof of this?

To the best of my knowledge you're not a developer and that's just slander.

Alright, first of all I've never heard of anyone purchasing a domain yet keeping it under the old owner's name. This makes no sense at all, there is no way you wouldn't have full ownership of a domain for a wallet service you run. When you purchase a domain it is expected that you have it transferred appropriately. All you've done is increase my suspicion with that admission.


With regards to your wallet service:

I don't think I'm overstepping when I say that your service is insecure for storing coins. And that goes without saying that You couldn't even secure your own coins. I might not be a developer but I've still managed to safely store all my coins.

By quickly reviewing your website, this doesn't sound remotely secure:

I can't quote it because the website was just taken down within the past 5 minutes by stake. But to paraphrase you basically said that all recoveries are manual and handled by employees, as a point of security.

The domain is registered with gandi.net and I tried to do that when I purchased it.  I've never used gandi.net and couldn't find the option to change the whois information on it (didn't think it mattered much).  If I can figure out how to change the domain ownership information I will - to please you.

Just noticed that post - it wasn't even a day ago.  Give me a break?  Some of us don't browse bitcointalk / run a gambling site full-time.

I did secure my own coins?  Was on top of the matter quickly contacted Coinbase, my bank, changed passwords, and had two-factor authentication.  Nobody has had any issue with coinsafe nor have any coins been compromised.

There has been a string of hacks via the Coinbase API key which is beginning to lead me to believe I wasn't negligent with my key, and that it's an issue with Coinbase.

See here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1syfef/psa_disable_your_coinbase_api_key_if_you_arent/

Not to mention - it's not about safely storing coins at all...  I take many precautions when storing coins.  Someone had programmatic access to the API Key (which I never used) and it has since been disabled.  They didn't have access to my coins because I don't keep coins on Coinbase BECAUSE it's not a safe way to store.  I use them for selling BTC.

You started promoting that on bitcointalk over a week ago and it wasn't changed. Trying to defend yourself has only convinced me of your guilt. Also anyone who has ever edited their whois information, or transferred a domain can testify that what you're saying is a lie.

[Stake]

You literally just took the site down to change that information most likely:

Site isn't down?

You have no basis for your arguments and have only provided circumstantial proof.

You say the site is down and it's perfectly fine..  https://coinsafe.io

I am beginning to think you're trolling because that last accusation is well.. A joke?

Yeah I'm sorry your domain isn't even set to redirect properly and we're supposed to believe that you can be trusted to hold everyone's coins.

From your site:

we use the strongest encryption where possible for any sensitive data from passwords to coinsafe servers. The passwords to coinsafe servers are in steel gun-vaults & coinsafe employee's heads. all coinsafe users also have the option of exporting their private keys delivering true ownership of funds to the user.

You are generating these private keys are you not? What are these encryption measures? Is this open-source?


Anyways, I don't have time to argue. I'll seek out a third party opinion or two before leaving you negative feedback.

I click whois and it just shows the current whois information.

There is no option to change the information from gandi.net that I am aware of.

Your site has had much more downtime than mine as.

In fact the majority of the time I try to go to it it's down.

So don't explode on me for having a little 80/443 error (not that you'd know what that means).

"On its own, it is the nature of circumstantial evidence for more than one explanation to still be possible."

"On its own, it is the nature of circumstantial evidence for more than one explanation to still be possible."

That possibility was that you were a developer who was also named Noah working for gigadice, you've already disproved this. Also keep in mind I've called this a "potential scam" and have not yet left you negative trust.

Also according to the whois for coinsafe:


2014-11-15  is the expiry date which means it was registered on Nov 15th of this year.


You started advertising it on Nov 18th: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=337403.0


Also I liked this snippet under legal:

Bitcoin is not legal tender. As with any Bitcoin service, any storage on coinsafe is at the users own risk. Exchange rates are estimates only.

I find it difficult to believe that a serial scammer purchased this domain only to sell it to you a day later, yet magically none of the DNS records changed.

From inputs.io: Bitcoin is not legal tender. As with any Bitcoin service, any storage on inputs.io is at the users own risk. Exchange rates are estimates only.

That disclaimer belongs there - I can't insure the funds just like inputs couldn't.

I'm not forcing anyone to use coinsafe...  But it isn't "unsecure" at all.  You should like that snippet - it means coinsafe is being honest with its users unlike how TradeFortress wasn't.
 
Magically?  It's not magic - I just don't know how to change the whois information.  Are you trying to say that I didn't purchase the domain within 3 days of him buying it?  I was developing a wallet and hadn't had a name yet.  The name can be changed from the configuration file in seconds and I heard the domain and liked it.  Bought it.  After all the accusations the whois info. still hasn't been changed to my full name because I don't know how (not that I would anyway because you'd say it's a sign of guilt)...

Anything could be a "potential scam."

PrimeDice could be a potential scam in that you could take it offline at any time and not come back and keep the funds in the account balances.

If this is legit, I want one.

We've sold an upwards of 80 (had one bulk order) so far in the day that pre-orders have been open.

You can purchase now to get it as soon as possible or feel free to wait till it officially launches to purchase (shipping costs included if not pre-ordered).

Thanks.

Can you show proof that you've sold this many? Just sounds like you are trying to bait this guy into sending you money.

I could show all of the Coinbase orders but that's not concrete enough.

Had one bulk order of 55.  Read the bold - how does that sound like I'm trying to "bait" him into sending me money?

He can buy the product if he wishes - he doesn't have to.

At the time of the hack (the funds were never actually stolen because I acted quick enoigh) I thought I was negligent with my key until now (after weeks of thinking about it and after it has now happened to tens of people) I have come to the conclusion it wasn't my negligence.

EVEN IF IT WAS, my coinbase account getting hacked != me being a scammer.


Feel free to think I'm not trustworthy - that's your opinion and you are entitled to it.

If you are Noah aka simpledice etc, you are a scammer. You own a domain that belongs to this scammer and have done nothing to refute this other than claim that "he" somehow sold you the domain without transferring it.

If he's your friend and not you, how about you provide some proof that you are not him.

What proof would you like?  I bought the domain and he gave me the gandi.net account.

I don't even use Skype.  I run a Teamspeak 3 Server that people come on to (posted the information on Bitcointalk).

It's the #1 Google Search for "Bitcoin Teamspeak"

I don't know how you want me to prove I am not him - you can ask him if you want..

It is actually a violation of ICANN policy NOT to update whois info.

"...false Whois information can be grounds for cancellation of their domain name registration. Registrants must review their Whois data, and make any corrections."

There is plenty more legalistic mumbo-jumbo if you want to read it but bottom line is, if whois is inaccurate, you are in violation and the registration can be revoked.

I'm reading through this now.  Thanks.

Trying to find how / where to change the information.

Notice to all: I'm not changing the information to hide anything.  I have nothing to hide.

I am changing it to my personal information so that it's accurate with who actually possesses the domain name.
