Trying to find some coins from late 2008 or early 2009

[LostNfound]

Once again it was not a exchange! If the people I was dealing with could set up bitcoin pretty sure they had their own site for a transfer. Thank you on your bitcoin history lesson! Did you also know there were other types of crypto before bitcoin? It was just never used like bitcoin! I know you have your phd in crypto but give it a rest

Once again it was not a exchange!

If it wasn't an exchange, I assume you didn't send anything in exchange for bitcoins, right? You just received them? How? You must remember something. Did you perhaps win a competition in that online game? There was a game with roots in 2010, someone had tweeted that once, but I can't find it. There were also some rewards in another multiplayer game. I think first two earned 100$ and the third 250 BTC? Sort of.

If you didn't install Bitcoin-QT at that time (2009-2010) it's highly unlikely you ever really owned bitcoins.

I was convinced to buy bitcoin while on a game back in late 08 or very early 09 It was a good time. I had no wallet or knowledge at the time of bitcoin. I went to a website to purchase them but do not know the site at the moment. Im not trying to jump any gun here but it was very early and if the people i was talking with are on here id love to talk! If anyone would know a site where a purchase from a person direct from one account to another or website that did at the time please let me know. Thank You

Guessing 2010 , is more accurate.
https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-history-part-6-the-first-bitcoin-exchange/

On March 17, 2010, Bitcoinmarket.com went live. Like all platforms that sprung up in those early days, the exchange was rickety, and holes were often patched following feedback from Bitcointalk forum members. The site accepted Paypal initially as its means of exchanging BTC for fiat. This system worked for a while, but as Bitcoin grew, so did the number of scammers. Following a string of fraudulent trades, Paypal was removed from the exchange on June 4, 2011.

On the same day, a forum user captured the giddiness that was starting to encircle the Bitcoin community, writing: “That market is going nuts. Yesterday, I saw a guy selling BTC on ebay for $20. Thought he wouldn’t sell any right away. Sold all 30 to 4 diff bidders in 12 hours. Now this morning I see bitcoinmarket.com at $23.99! I’m usually a buy and hold kinda guy, but this rapid growth is freaking me out. I only own 75 BTC, but feel like the rich guy.”

Bitcoin History Part 6: The First Bitcoin ExchangeBy this point, Bitcoinmarket.com’s days were numbered. There was a new exchange poised to open its virtual doors to a tsunami of bitcoiners, many of whom had been wooed after learning of a deep web marketplace known as Silk Road which launched in February of that year. Bitcoinmarket.com’s successor launched in July 2011 and by 2014 was handling 70% of all global bitcoin trades. Its name, of course, was Mt. Gox.

No idea, if any of this relates to you, your info was too vague.
If you left the btc on a web site, odds are your coins are long gone.
But checking old emails or paypal or ebay records from 2010, might give you a clue.

You cannot see data of coins transferred from one to another if they were mined!

In early 2009?

The only way to mine bitcoin at that time was to run BitcoinQT and the result of that would be for the Bitcoin to be mined into an address associated with that instance of BitcoinQT. That would NOT be a transfer.

If we throw away all the pieces of your story that don't match reality (assuming that you're memory has just gotten a bit distorted over time), the best that can be pieced together from what you're saying is:

Either they convinced you to install BitcoinQT on your own computer, and convinced you to run it to mine some bitcoin for yourself. Or they ran BitcoinQT and mined the bitcoin to their OWN wallets. Then they could potentially transfer that bitcoin to you, but you'd have needed to supply them with a bitcoin address for them to have done that. If they were running a website that they convinced you to log into and that website showed a bitcoin balance, then you almost certainly never had any bitcoins.  Those bitcoins (if they even existed) remained under their control.

You claim to have sent them $10?

I only did $10 which is nothing

Did you use PayPal? Did you mail them a $10 bill via U.S.P.S? Did you give them your credit card number? Did you use Venmo? Did you go to a local bank branch and deposit $10 into their bank account? Did you use Western Union?

Stop making this out to be something it’s not. IM NOT HERE TO SCREW ANYONE OVER AND I KNOW WHAT WENT DOWN.

Too many of your statements fail to match up with well-established history.  This leaves a few possibilities:
1. You are attempting a scam of some sort, but didn't spend enough time verifying the story you created.
2. Your memory of dates and events has become clouded a bit over time, and you are unwilling to accept that possibility
3. You have come from an alternate reality. You travelled across dimensions and are now in a parallel world.

4. he is doing a CSW
this month CSW is tying to say that "proof" is not about signing or data. its about establishing "friendships" and using "friends" as witness as his proof.. and this topic creators plan is the same... trying to say he knew satoshi and the first devs of late 2008-early 2009 ("founders") to try to slot himself into history. not using hard data. but some story he made up without research and just pound it out in repeat hoping he can convince people.

with the twist that the ("founders" his word) owe him coin he paid for

..
its not an original scam. and he got caught playing it.. game over

[LostNfound]

I am not confusing anything! this is what happened. I also came up with the name satoshi nakamoto so in short i am he and no i was not a very close friend! I consider us to be friends but we did not keep in touch. Enjoy proving me wrong on this as well.

[yhiaali3]

Sorry but the story seems unreal at all, so it is natural that most members here doubt the credibility of the story, Bitcoin was invented in 2008 and at that time no one knew anything about Bitcoin except Satoshi and some close people, in 2008 and 2009 there was no Any bitcoin exchanges Only a few sites are starting to talk about bitcoin, so it's hard to believe that there was a site that offered a game and bitcoin was earned or bought by the game.

[LostNfound]

It was not in game! We were in a game talking and gaming! The transfer was not in game anything. They sent me a site. It had nothing to do with a game purchase or in game purchasing.

Regardless of whether your story is true or not, I can only say that right now it's not your keys, not your bitcoin. So if it is a website then you can forget about it easily and have your funds ready now to buy bitcoin more. Have a wallet and secure your wallet as many contributors suggest. I don't think you should bother digging deep into the memory of this community just to find a site name for you.

You don't remember the name of the site anyway, so how do you want those bitcoin still to be kept for you in 2022? Don't waste time, get funds and start investing if at this time you really believe that bitcoin has a high value and is worth it for you.

[LostNfound]

I appreciate your advice and I know the quote. The story is true! What kind of a nut job would mention any of this if it weren’t. I also know that the world is full of many emotionally disturbed people but I am not one of them haha! I’ll do my best to find what I have to. Why would I not try to find a site or the people. I’ll try to find out what I can.
After what I have mentioned I laugh at I get NOT YOUR BITCOIN NOT YOUR KEYS thrown into my face. Pretty amazing response.

[franky1]

we have told you many times
the real world factual events of bitcoin
there was no site which you could log into to then trade bitcoins for money until march 2010
(previous to this(oct 2009) was a open display webpage of prices, which used email order request and payment method conversation system for a couple trades)

we have told you many times
the real world factual events of bitcoin
there was no bitcoin code in late 2008 for any "coin" to even exist

no one was talking about using and/or trading bitcoin in late 2008-early 2009

..
as for your tactics to try to create some social drama of inventing history to create some narrative that you are owed something.

try to actually learn about bitcoin. learn the real events. and give up your scam

you seem to wish to ignore facts/data/history. and instead be stubbornly ignorant and arrogant in pushing some fantasy made up creation of your mind.

true honest people that could have actually lost coins due to some of the early exchanges. would be trying to investigate and learn about the true history and actual exchanges that existed.. not try making them up and waste days repeating their fantasy story.

learn about bitcoin.

realise that you scheme is not going to work. give up the con. and instead become a normal member of society trying to better your life using bitcoin, not fantasy

Personally I want to believe you, I like the idea of someone interacting in Bitcoin in early
2009. In an effort to giving you the benefit of the doubt, it could be possible that you
interacted with people who had first hand experience of mining and transferring Bitcoin
back then ~early 2019

But

Much like the current ongoing case between CSW and hodlonaut without hard
facts, proof and or evidence its hard for us to believe or trust the story,
such as your comment above.

Any emails?
Post your username of the gaming site you mention?
or the usernames of others from that time if you can remember?
Have you tried searching for familiar screenshots from shooter games from that time?

[LostNfound]

I’ll only release the info to the guys that know what went down as a confirmation. Along with Satoshi Nakamoto info. They will remember it! Specially my name in game.

and there is it.. its funny how i predicted it. you are revealing more and more of your scam that i said you would be pulling..
pretending you knew satoshi and have secret info on him

so as a reminder

but i am going to assume the reason you are deadly set in setting up a false narrative where you are 100% sure of late 2008-early 2009 is because you want to set some fake story that you knew people like satoshi/hal and played games with them (the usual silly narrative)
no amount of "can someone vouch for me" will give you any credibility..

i am guessing you want to try selling your story to the press that you are somewhat important to the history of bitcoin or know something secret about someone that is important.

sorry but your games dont work here, especially when you have not bothered to even try hard to do any research to realise how silly your sorry is

let me guess.. your next evolutions/phases of your scam are going to be:
you will wish that people interested in your story will come together and invest in your plan to "investigate" (in your words)bitcoin founders. whereby you promise them a % cut of any coins you get that you feel you are owed by them by your relationship with them/him. or they get a return from selling stories to the press. or from some court case you wish to file later

where by you wish to display a long list of publicly available addresses anyone can copy and display and pretend they belong to you/owed to you.

wait.. im feeling de ja vu.. why am i describing CSW's 2015 tactics(before his 'i am satoshi' scam)

..
heck ill save the audience time
next will be that you somehow gave what you call(in your words) the bitcoin founders an idea that grew bitcoin and that you actually were satoshi

[LostNfound]

No franky wrong again. I bet you think you’re the smartest guy in the room! (Complete opposite) I don’t know him I am him! I created him. It’s not my real name! 🍻.

[franky1]

seems you are bored and just trying to entertain yourself with trolly games to see who will believe your fantasy/lies (like the flat earthers do)

if you are that bored and want to just repeat CSW games for entertainment and possible income..

..here is an idea for you

how about truly look at all the CSW scams. and write them out into a book about how CSW scammed crypto.

then you might have a best seller.. even i would buy it(though i doubt you care to have the energy to even bother researching/doing work)
..

you wont get anywhere from repeating CSW scams. but you might get somewhere reporting on CSW scams

[LostNfound]

I’m not here to scam. How about you stop with your clown show along with your push of some scammer csw. I’m honest and not bored I have young kids lmao

[franky1]

do you accept that your story of late 2008-2009 does not fit the actual events of bitcoin. (actual events that are proven by code and blockdata)

yes or no

do you accept that you requested information about the first site able to let users log-in to then trade bitcoin for fiat.. and we told you straight by many people showing links and proof. did not occur until march 2010

yes or no

if no to any..
dont just reply to say
"im not trying any scams. im honest ill give proof but only to X and only at some time in unspecified date in the future"
instead
take some time to research actual history. figure out where your story is wrong. and then explain things as you see them after reviewing actual history of bitcoin

OR
take my advice. realise your scam is up. your not getting anything out of it. and instead think of something new. something productive that is of benefit to the community. if it is in regards to wanting to follow CSW gameplan. then try to research his games better. and then out HIM as the scammer and make a story you can sell about how he is a scammer (EG turn whitehat)

[LostNfound]

I won’t say anything of a sort. You will hear everything when I hear from them. The dates cannot be far off. I know where I was when this happened. Broke up with the ex. Got out of law. Rough times. I was only at this location for a short time. My buddy was able to get me a apartment from his friend. The time frame was not years. I also don’t feel the need to prove shit to you! Not trying to scam nor will I ever or have I. Seems like your the pro scammer. So go swallow csw and don’t respond to my post any further! You’re obviously not who I’m looking to hear from.

[Jeger.Kiting]

Will not move on i will continue to search but was hoping for a better response. Hopefully their eyes see this post.

Goodluck. Try looking at the forum's earliest posts or browsing the net. You'll probably see old and defunct exchanges like bitcoinmarket.com come up in your search but they were launched around 2010.

Yes, that's right, looking for old threads posted on this forum will definitely find you, the problem is the thread in question still exists or not, because it's been a very long time, and the bitcoinmarket.com website appeared in 2010, while he was looking for a website for his coin at the end of the year 2008 - 2009 certainly will not be found there, I think it is very difficult to find something old problem that you did, because there is a possibility that the site you were playing at at that time was closed or run away.
