I'm hoping Bob is able to get some Amazon cards. I keep missing out every time he has them and my diaper supply is running dangerously low  |

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

I doubt BiPolarBob is a scammer because it would be a really long worked and consistent game then.
Though i wanted to mention that vouchers, codes and so on are a risky thing to buy. Accepting those things as payment or paying for them is risky as long as you cant really trust the seller. The reason is that the real buyer of those codes can, at some point in time, claim that his codes were stolen. If that happens you lose. Those claims can be done months after selling so you should be cautious in general with vouchers. Sometimes the one youre buying from bought those codes from a provider and doesnt know what will happen too. Im not saying anything about Bob, only in general. Because thats a point that wasnt mentioned the first pages of this thread that i have read.

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

This is very true, however I think that using VPN/VPS services by/from him is even more risky. This is especially true for a VPN. When you use a VPN you allow the provider to potentially be able to see all of your traffic and potentially be able to monitor any unencrypted data (or even potentially encrypted data if he uses a vulnerability like POODLE). Another issue is that he asked users to provide him with a password (and many people are very lax with their password policy and will reuse passwords, this will potentially allow him to have passwords to many users' various accounts (either bitcointalk.org or other accounts - as he can see what websites you are visiting) |

Is it not fishy that an anonymous guy sells gift codes at a 90% loss (the only obvious answer is that they are fraudulently obtained, unless this guy really is as "crazy" as he claims)? And now, he runs a free service where he can potentially spy on users and steal their information. I'm not saying he's a bad guy or that he's doing any of this stuff; I've never done business with him, but I would advise people to be careful. Maybe he's really CEO of JP Morgan and he gives away vouchers on a bitcoin forum in his free time. I doubt it though. |

The risk can be migrated by upgrading your internet browser or disable SSL3. Most website have already disabled SSL3. It is pretty hard for him to steal information as most website already have https implementation and it is easy for user to detect if he does a MITM attack. As for the gift codes, many trusted user have verified that he have bought it using Bitcoins which cannot be reversed. |

As for the gift codes, many trusted user have verified that he have bought it using Bitcoins which cannot be reversed. Disabling SSL3 will only protect you against a POODLE attack. You can also only use https when the website you are accessing has this enabled, if you are logging into a website that does not have this enabled then he could potentially see the credentials that you use to access such website (you should also remember that most users will reuse the same credentials across multiple sites despite this being a very bad security practice). He could potentially launch a 'zero day' (previously unknown) attack against you to steal your information, or use some kind of attack that was recently disclosed but most users/sites have not "plugged" the associated security holes/risks yet. If he were to gain access to your data/login credentials to a site, he may not use it right away, but rather accumulate them over time, and then slowly use them to steal funds in various users' accounts. No one would probably be able to trace such an attack back to him as there are so many other variables to getting your account hacked |

None of these accusations are true but I have locked the VPN thread and will take down the servers in a couple weeks. No point if the false claims make people too scared to use it. But I will say this: If you tried my VPN service and you have no other, then PM me and I will set you up with something like Private Internet Access, or another commercial VPN of your choice. |

While I don't think you are planning on doing anything "bad" any one using your VPN service is taking on a risk by using your service, a bigger risk then accepting a $50 gift card when the max loss is $50. Also pro tip: make anyone receiving a free VPN account donate .01 to Sean's outpost (or another mutually agreed upon charity) |
