Topic: 1000 BTC Giveaway - what might be happening. - page 3. (Read 7507 times)

"Green Trust" in these boards means nothing, if you're going to trust in someone based on that, you're gonna have a bad time.

At some point TradeFortress was the most "trusted" account here, several other most "trusted" accounts scammed people here.

BTW, it is not clear what happened with inputs.io, coins could just have been stolen like he said.

Also, there's no link between rekcahxfb coins and the ones stolen from Bitfinex, even if he is the one who stole from Bitfinex he can give the coins he signed and that's totally legit, although I don't think anyone here is buying he is actually the guy who hacked Bitfinex.

Right. I don't intend to keep it myself.

several times, it's been said SEVERAL times already, that those coins are from 2013, not from the bitfinex hack and a lot of them come directly from mining on slush pool, but that's okay, don't participate, better chances to win for me

Yeah right! To give it back to the victim  . Not to keep , and live out your dreams? So it was well-intentioned. I hear you.

and they could give it back to the victims if they won it. Is that wrong?

I participated up until I read this:


Then I deleted my bitcoin address. At this point, the hacker or whomever they are, a scammer maybe, implied he hacked Bitfinex. You can feign ignorance all you want about the source of funds, but that was what they implied. It is not my problem, I am not here to banter words with anybody and I dont have a problem with anybody participating. To each his/her own.

The point I was trying to get across, which you have deliberately ignored, is that moderators and green trusted accounts, are not to be trusted. If they participated in that giveaway, knowing that the funds could possibly have being hacked from Bitfinex. Or it could be from TradeFortress, a known scammer. Google "Tradefortress bitcoin" and see the results for yourself. I am not judging anyone, I am only calling out the mods and "trusted" accounts like yours.

Sure the rekcahxfb account was hacked?

Before:
1BfxSuxJqXuizBbTcP238JZY9DT4eqvzJG -> Bitfinex Sucks

After:
1FvCk1jTsy7AvmnpeKnrfHSJnfX7om7fNM -> Should be obvious


The hacker sets a weak password and lets another hacker (who coincidentally isn't very good at English and with significantly different characteristics) hack the hacker's account. How likely is that?
The hack was staged. Everything is.  

Few points to note:
1. funds are from 2013.
2. in his own words: (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15820828)
You are completely ignoring the possibility that the funds may be legit.
3. You are expected to rely on your own head while deciding to participate in any giveaway. All the participants in the thread will react the same and participate in the giveaway even if X, Y or Z did not participate in the giveaway. Thread is way too long anyway.
4. The giveaway is free to participate, which makes your entire accusation meaningless.
5. If I am to decide who gets 1000BTC between a hacker and a trusted person, I will pick the latter. The former is very likely to use it for his own personal wants, and the proceeds aren't like to reach the victims.
6. No trusted or untrusted member won the giveaway yet. Please be patient.

And who is to say they did not participate?   .....All those new accounts?

I don't think so
Participating in a free lottery ≠ trying to receive goods which origin is suspicious
In the first case it is just a game without consequence
In the second case it is greed (with legal risk?)

Thank you!

Isn't it amazing the number of green trusted accounts that participated in this scam? Greed indeed is the root of all evil. They all are a bunch of classless hypocrites if you ask me. And if this was some sort of social experiment for honesty, It was successful in exposing the kind of people we have moderating this forum. Little wonder scams thrive here.

You can argue this whichever way you want, but the fact is the OP "rekcahxfb" hinted he was the one that hacked and stole from Bitfinex. He could have being lying. I think he was. And all this was a deliberate hoax to fool people into believing he possessed much more than 1000 btc, and could easily give that much away.

I am not claiming to be any different. Far from it. But  these mods/saints and "highly trusted" accounts proved they are nothing more than plaster saints. Be careful when dealing with them. If they were ready to receive stolen funds, they are capable of anything. It is easy to fake honesty on an anonymous forum.

They red trusted the rekcahxfb account only when the rules of the giveaway changed to ask for deposits. That account should have been negative bombed as soon as it claimed it was behind the Bitfinex hack. Now they are sulking because they wont be getting their greedy mitts on the bounty. SMH

Why don't he comes back with another account and starts the giveaway again?

For me he's just trolling and no one will receive anything and the coins won't move

You have no idea how hard theymos and the admins are trying to resist participating in that giveaway.


It costs nothing, so why do you take it as some sort of vouch? I'd expect a trusted member to put the Bitcoins to good use than the hacker's alt in the impossible event of the former winning the giveaway.

even Bill Gates would try his luck if someone would approach him with a FREE ticket to a lottery for 600k$, wouldn't he? there's literally nothing to lose, whoever is not trying his luck on this just because "it's unbelievable that someone would give away that much" can be considered stupid, the guy already proved he has BTC to spare by sending 10BTC to btc eater address and few more BTC to anyone on IRC, again, not participating in a FREE lottery is just... stupid

Its money..
Now we know who can get bribed lol

I burst in laughter when our respected ( well, at least some say so ) DT member Lutpin tried his luck

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15803792

Thank god he did not send him .001 otherwise some innocent may have followed him.

Please guys when you have green trust or on DT don't prticipate in pure BS because this gives non-experienced people a useless hope and get trapped in scams.

hehe

I already posted this in the previous thread, but it seems that some have missed it, so let me repost it:

I'm not saying these coins aren't from TF, it just seems unlikely IMO with the proof I have seen (which is almost none). I am however sure that these coins do not belong to the BitFinex hack as none of the inputs are linked to BitFinex. A few people, that I trust, came to this conclusion with some Blockchain analysis.

Nah, I'm not jealous... just to try understand more about those stolen funds of TF (nothing else).
I hope you too get few BTC as tip.

I like how people are jealous of people who were given some BTC. Hope you guys also get few BTC as tip, as i am highly interested in what you would do with them.
I don't think you people are as saint as you want people to think you are. In fact; i know you are not.
