It is unfortunate that our fellow community members are so quick to jump to conclusions. Indeed, the “brand new” status of my account indicates nothing else other than, well, that it wasn’t made long ago. Everything above that is wild speculation which has no rational basis not much unlike the numerous conspiracy theories on Politics & Society Board.

Luckily we’ve nonetheless been able to gather enough reasonable members of the community for our “Experts” program and now are closing it in terms of this forum. However there’s still an opportunity to become a member of our speakers’ circle which would allow you to gain pre-release access to articles that are to be published and be the first one to comment on them.

All details can be found here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-enthusiasts-and-experts-wanted-563387

Is it okay for fellow community members to quickly jump to conclusions as to what entity is or is not a scam based on if a 0.4 BTC press release fee is paid?

Share your press release with our readers for 0.4 btc per release - it will appear on the homepage and in the side bar. Once press release was submitted and payment has been made we will publish your press-release shortly.

Please follow this guide"how to write press-releases"

Press releases for inappropriate or fraudulent products and services will not be published. CoinTelegraph has a right to refuse to publish your press release offering you a refund.

So, we provide a service for free, namely warning fellow Bitcoiners about scam outfits via doing simple Google searches et al., while CoinTelegraph with its far more advanced research team espouses that they, too, protect Bitcoiners from scam outfits prior to taking a 0.4 BTC press release fee from an easily proven scam outfit.

On behalf of all those about to be scammed by UFOMiners opting to purchase because of a paid-for press release, thank you, CoinTelegraph, for not doing a mere few minutes due diligence that others are doing for free for the betterment of Bitcoin. We're sure your cryptocurrency-based advertisers are mighty proud of you genius folks. Keyword [alluded to]: Boycott.

CoinTelegraph is always keen to bring to readers’ attention anything suspicious in crypto-industry and beyond [unless rogue entities pay us our standard press release fee of 0.4 BTC]

I've an idea: I'll pen a press release about my linked-to website offering up quantum computers that operate on solar power monkey shit and see if they'll print the article upon paying the 0.4 BTC fee.

First experience with cryptocurrencies

Nathan first read Satoshi’s white paper in July 2009 and began using Bitcoin in November of the same year.

Let me guess, Nathan, in the later part of 2009 you were using-cum-trading bitcoins with Satoshi Nakamoto, Hal Finney (Mr. Popsicle), Marshal Long (Bitcoin Prince), Maria Jones' fellow New Yorker Nick Spanos (Mr. Bicycle), Leroy "Truthful" Fodor and fellow toiler bowl cleaner buddy (Bubba) in South Carolina, Craig Steven "Satoshi" Wright, and perhaps John Fitzpatrick, all on BitcoinTalk when this forum had at most 20 users, eh?

Nathan Wosnack is the founder and CEO of CryptØMiners and CryptØYouth. He is on the North American Advisory Board for Cryptor Trust and recently joined as partner and COO of ubITquity — a cryptocurrency company.

I wonder what the fees are for a rogue entity to be included on Cryptor Trust.

This company has not listed any contacts yet.

I'd say that's par for the course.

Using this information they can claim your MtGox coins once filing claims starts.


Yep Sherlock! MtGox here!! They have stolen your money. But now they have lost access to your wallets and want to get your personal details to get access to 'em!

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
Hello! Thank you so much for your attention! I really apologize to spend your time if you are not interested in our suggestion. I am official represenative of Cointelegraph.com, News Agency, specializing in cryptocurrencies. It is definitely not a spam PM. I did not send it to every user. It was intended for high-level experts. Best regards, Maria

May I suggest to you, Maria, to interact with this forum via posting periodically? Nothing too in-depth, nor mundane either. Also, make the link in your sig linkable. We'll let you slide this time for spelling representative incorrectly, but consider using spell checker.

Apologies for any misunderstandings.

Nice going on removing all restriction mods. What do I do now, I'm getting hit by a ton of this sort of shit. Do you like, hate actual content or something?
