Topic: bitscalper anyone use this ? [PASSWORDS LEAKED] - page 6. (Read 40998 times)

I too am not 100% sure it was a scam. If it was I've lost a couple btc. Maybe his algorithm went haywire, he lost a few hundred btc, panicked and went dark till he could earn them back again...and then this password thing erupted. Who knows. I can see myself behaving the same way, just trying to avoid everyone until I can say, here I am, I fixed it all, sorry. Not the most honest, forthcoming approach surely, but a human one, and a behaviour that doesn't only map to scammers.

I was able to log in again recently, and my coins were still apparently there, and the site let me enter a request to withdraw them all. I'll let you know if they actually get sent out.

I guess you ment this as a good tip. Thanks for that, but I am aware of secure passwords, patterns, etc. But there are many users that use the same password for the site as for the mail account they registered.

You should use a different password for every different site!

Thank go I don't use the same password on my used mail account

This was an Error after logging in today...

hmm perhaps www.buttscalper.com will soon be born?

The owner should sell the arbitrage code only and let someone else build a robust, secure "shell" around it.

I had a small peice of 1BTC in there, it's still there, nobodys stolen it. It's still earning tiny returns, although hasn't been over the last couple of days. Never mind 5% I've never even seen a tenth of 1%.

Reguarding an earler comment, the whole effort probbably is very amateurish, it does work though, to a point.

I may be able to assist you Joint reguarding your coding project.

If only I had enough time...

To me, the interesting thing is that if someone made a legit version of BitScalper and actually capitalized on arbitrage opportunities, it could potentially do wonders for the market.  If I had the coding skills, I would do this in a heartbeat.  Any excellent coders want to consider teaming up and running with this? 

I would like to hear at what point the site's creator thought it would be a good idea to store passwords as plain text.  There is no 'I'll get around to it later...' explanation.  It's a serious design flaw from day one.  It makes the whole effort look very amateurish at best and makes me wonder how many other serious flaws exist on the site, just waiting for be exploited.

I was thinking these problems could be solved two ways.  First is the way you described.  Use old trusted BTC members to audit code.  However, I think the better way is to use one of the few trusted 3rd party security auditing services that are out there.  Many large business rely on those security auditing services.

If you send me the email addresses you may have used to sign up, I'll check whether you're on the list.

A few hours before I did a short calculation of the outstanding payout requests on this website.
Now, a few hours later, the list has grown and without a recalculation I guess the open sum is now about 3000 BTC, still counting.

No doubt, the current information situation about bitscalper.com looks disastrous.
However, I would be a little bit more carefully to call it already the end.

My impression of his website was that he runs it without help from others and he try to fix it. His support was, especially in the first weeks, quite good. Then he had to argue more and more how he can guarantee 5% a day (which btw he never did). Not every single discussion was fair, I think he gets frustrated to argue over and over again. Then he run into more and more technical problems, including the unavailability of the VPS service over 3 days. The last weeks the website was very often unavailable (login problems etc.). This morning the breaking news about password leaks. If he is giving a one man show and maybe also has to work, all of this could grow over his head, especially with the responsibility of the transferred bitcoins.  I can remember how he get angry and complained about a user who was able to payout a small sum of bitcoins he didn't own, because of a mistake on the bitscalper website.

For me the strongest indicator that his service is probably scam is that knowing about all or most of this issue and the escalating situation, he finds the time to look inside the forum but could not give ANY short information about the current situation (on his website, or via email, or as a forum post).

On the other side it looks like he has still paid out some of the outstanding payout request this morning. Does he really still think he can get more bitcoins in by paying out some smaller amounts in the current situation?

Maybe bitscalper surprises all of us (including myself) and is really processing the outstanding payout request during the next 24 hours.
The next hours will show.

BTW. After the password leak info, I haven't read about stolen bitcoins from bitscalper user accounts. Does anybody miss bitcoins or see payout requests he didn't made? Maybe the silent canceling of all outstanding payout requests this morning was his first reaction on the password leaks info?

The whole pictures is not soo clear for me to call it already and for 100% a scam.

@Bitscalper: If all of this was not fraud, you had now enough time to to the most important steps in advance. YOU HAVE TO GIVE A STATEMENT EXPLAINING THE SITUATION. On your website or somewhere else. Otherwise everyone can be sure that bitscalper.com is fraud.

I may have missed this somewhere... but is there a list of user names that were leaked?  I cant remember if I even signed up an account for this site and I would like to double check.

Where's that figure coming from?

Yes, there is no excuse for losing money to this. The only way investing here made any sense is if you recognized the scam but thought you could get out first. These posts about "free market failures", etc are stupid.

Some of you idiots had it coming.  This obvious scammer managed to take 1900 BTC... I find that HILARIOUS.

Of course, I've been an idiot too on a different matter... (fortunately, I did not risk a few hundred BTC)

I certainly did 


I don't mean to toot my own horn but...
