A POSSIBLE SCAM "Bitcoin Black"

[TalkStar]

Website: https://bitcoin.black (Archive)
Announcement: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3124440.0 (Archive)
What happened: No team, No concept & huge supply.
They mentioned team here: https://bitcoinblack.net/community
But these are just peoples who registered there. In real they have no team members.

please read a part of their whitepaper

Bitcoin is in a cycle which will discourage people from cryptocurrency and remove
hope of cryptocurrency being an ecosystem for the people, making it seem like an
enemy as the majority of people enter at the wrong time due to the media.
Bitcoin takes power from the people as it's heavily manipulated and through cycles
which discourages participants from cryptocurrency in general.

They are talking against bitcoin on their whitepaper but how surprising is that they want to raise Bitcoin by their ICO. you can check it here that they are continuing their presale by using bitcoin payment method.

For your information today I found this user mbelgasmi and here is post history. When I click his referral link its redirect on Bitcoin black website.

Total supply: (36 000 000 000) Just look at their total supply. I think they just use the name of bitcoin only to get investors attention but in real they are totally spreading news against bitcoin. I will suggest to read their whitepaper to know details about this possible scam.

I don't think Bitcoin Black isn't that active anymore aside from the fact that the thread was dead a long time ago and has only woken up by a member commenting "Dead on Arrival" there Twitter account's last post was dated October 18, 2018 which was also around the last time their thread was active.

Aside from that all 840 members registered in their "community" inside their website are all offline which only means no one is really active in the website anymore. The ICO might have already scammed its buyers as we cannot really see any update after that. The only thing I can confirm is Maher Belgasmi is part of their team (which was also the 2nd account shown in their member page), he provided links of their Telegram group and some updates in their forum last February. I haven't seen any identical images of him online so there is a possibility that he got that image personally from someone.

My 2 cents:
- Their Github is just a rebranded fork of NANO with one commit, no development activity on it
- Using Bitcoin in their name to sound familiar, adding nothing that sets them aside from other existing crypto projects with active dev
- You get possibly millions $ for spreading this as much as possible
- The apps are most likely designed to search your phone for known crypto wallets
- Time sensitive pre-ICO sales
- Userdata could be sold for marketing, no KYC, nothing legitimate
- A change.org smokescreen petition to get it listed on Binance (seriously? who would think this has value to Binance?)
- Website has not been changed since launch
- Their Telegram is filled with confused people, all asking how they will get their BCB after they signed up (https://t.me/BitcoinBlackBCBGroup)
- You basicly give away your email address and that's it, there is no wallet yet, you can generate a (NANO) wallet manually, there is nothing connected to your email address afterwards
- People are shilling the website but there is no reflink connected to registering, there are no headers posted by which they could know who signed up via who, this makes no sense
- On the website the package for the 4th stage is sold out, there has never been a way to order this, there were no stage 1 2 3 sales
- In the Telegram they tell you to mail their email address to purchase, so they take your BTC that way
- At first the airdrop was for 1 million users but they saw it did not go around that fast so they changed it to 100.000
- Maher's Twitter account was about funny gifs before it became 'Bitcoin.Black Rewards' (https://twitter.com/FunnyGif007), before that he also shilled PCN or PeepCoin a lot which was another scam

All this adds up to the kind of things you saw in 2017, or 2013 for that matter if you were here long enough to remember, guess ppl forgot or the ones falling for it felt they missed out last time.
