Bitcoin Generator?

[smoothie]

This thread started out really funny.

Magic Beans. LOL! 

On a serious note, I see those videos on youtube all the time...scammers gonna scam. Be very wary of things that sound too good to be true.

You mean it wont be the equivalent of a money tree?  My dreams are shattered, I hate you smoothie!

The only people who fall for this are those who can't read.

I just thought it was interesting question to ask, that's all

The alleged bitcoin "generators" are fucking disgusting.
I can summarize how they work below.

• 1 - They make a piece of shit VisualBasic executable that looks enticing and functional.
• 2 - They make a video of the piece of shit exe "working" which includes either a forged or unrelated bitcoin transaction on an explorer.
• 3 - They buy views and likes.
• 4 - You, a person of average gullibility, downloads the "program" from the description.
• 5 - You must complete a "survey" from a list of surveys.
• 5a - The survey you complete gives your contact information or demographics to a central server that sells it to pretty much anyone.
• 5b - The person who sent you to complete the survey - in this case the creator of the "generator" - gets a stipend, usually $2.
• 5c - Now that your phone number/email is being sold to pretty much any company, you will get spam for the rest of your life.
• 6 - After completing the survey, you get the download. It's an encrypted RAR with a text file saying the password can be downloaded at a certain link.
• 7 - *click* - downloading the password requires going through number 5 again. Then you successfully unzip the archive.
• 8 - You run the executable which, when it doesn't work, suggests you may have downloaded a bad copy or something and asks you to start over from number 4.
• 8a - Also, a VB app can do a lot. You, "knowing full well" that a program like the one you just downloaded is used for "interesting" purposes, tells your virus scanners to bug off and ignore the program.
• 8b - Well, now you have malware.
• 9 - The creator of the baloney product now has some free money from idiots like you* downloading their shit.
• 10 - They buy drugs or some shit.

No, I never downloaded a "generator" but I do have knowledge of the field (a [former] friend of mine made a Millionaire City premium currency generator and a RS 2007 partyhat generator - the latter was technically a phisher) and I sincerely hope none of you fall for this shit.
^{PS - this "friend" of mine scammed me for 0.2 BTC. So, yeah.
*assuming that you got this far.}

WOW! That's a pretty good description of what happens!
Stay away from these kind of programs! They can also steal your btc with keyloggers and rats!

Don't believe everything you see/read on the internet.

Youtube views/likes/comments can be purchased.

This is a scam.

I also found a lot of videos on youtube on BTC generator. But i haven't try yet.

[crazyivan]

I mean, Bitcoin generator, you ve gotta be joking. Pls tell me this is a joke and you re just trolling us.

[ALToids]

It's like a Bitcoin Tesla Coil, only it came to fruition.  I think Helicopter Ben had one.

I'm sure scammers are just really smart people that got scammed once and try to pass it on to others.

  I can't see any sane person going on and write a scam program called " bitcoin generator " and expect people to buy that crap. but it works though.

Reminds me of those "FREE IPAD GIVEAWAY" on facebook. That has always amazed me, how hope can make people forget their self esteem and do stupid shit...

Because in this world intelligence is not require to obtain wealth.  The scammers utilize this group as their tool and are capitalizing on their victims lack of intelligence or due diligence.

make sure you always run any .exe you get from these generators and don't scan them for any malware

For anybody new to mining that was sarcasm.  Noruka isn't aware of the fact that if you say such things in this forum some user will actually do that.

Seriously you watch everything you do regarding coins, just a month or two ago a user was "selling" an alt coin generator when you ran it, it stole all of your coins from tons of different wallets.

Even if the "generator" would not steal the other types of coins that you have mining altcoins is horribly unprofitable.

It is a scam and a malware when download is a file called "Setup 100% Working.exe"

Basic rule for Bitcoin and any crypto currencies is that if it sounds too good to be true it is a trap or a scam.  Unlike regular bank deposits, crypto requires your own security as opposed to a bank's to keep you money safe.

BTC generator? I doubt it very much.. Hey,just my 2 cents

[Viscera]

The funniest thing about these "bitcoin generators" is how easy it is to find out they are a scam so it's hard for me to sympathize with anyone who falls for this. Just do a Google search of the link before you download it and you'll find out just how ludicrous the scam is, often targeting teenagers etc, Bitcoin is just the tip of the iceberg here.

[bitcoinbelieve]

Has anybody got scammed by this?

[ranochigo]

Has anybody got scammed by this?

I'm pretty sure there are some very new newbies who don't have a good knowledge of bitcoins and good security got scammed by this.

Bitcoin generator, It sounds like a shit for me.
