Post an address and claim your prize.

Not quite the rankings I'd give. I'd throw some people in different categories. Still, it seems like you put some effort into it.

Most alt coins have a very short life, because they're not announced in advance, and the only users of it are the early adapters or the preminers. Elacoin is an open cryptocurrency based on the Scrypt hashing algorithm, with a few innovative modifications:

OFFICIAL WARNING: AlternativeCypt IS A SCAMMER. DO NOT TRADE WITH HIM, HE CLAIMED TO HAVE MORE ELACOINS THAN WHICH WERE MINED



Elastic block reward algorithm based on the difficulty and Moore's Law
The more computational power you throw at it, the more each block will give.
The reward is halved every nine months to preserve the coin's value.

Stable Currency that Regulates Itself Through Supply and Demand
Less demand? Less hashpower, less block reward, less supply. Same value.
High demand? More hashpower, more block reward, more supply. Same value.

Fast Payments and Confirmations
The block target is one every 2 minutes, which is the perfect amount.
Fast enough without running into network IO limits, or bloating your hard drive.

Open to everyone. No premining, no shenanigans, announced release
Elacoin will be released after 24 hours of this message. Elacoin is not premined,
with the genesis block timestamping "Traffic from Syria Disappears from Internet".

The genesis block for Elacoin will be released after 24 hours of OP. Get your scrypt
miners ready (a miner is included in the client), and have fun  

Elacoin has being released! http://github.com/elacoin/elacoin

Your anonymity is ensured.

Kind regards,

This... Abomination, has infiltrated our somewhat peaceful game (save greifers) and has completely ruined an ENTIRE FEATURE of this game that paying users receive. Lailai recently came onto CG62's server and asked to be let out. We denied him when he did not show the password, so we kicked him. When he came back, we banned him. Then he come on Lailai2 and I IP banned him. That was the last I thought we would here of him. Well I went on happily RP until someone in the RP shouts, that LaiLai, has committed a horrific crime. He released the indev version of minecraft. This may not seem like a big feature to non-paying users, but this is what seperates paying players from non-paying. It is the only useful thing that we have. It allows us to test indev things, such as fire or tools. This is alot of fun to play around in and is the best feature a paying player gets. Well, LaiLai decided to ruin that. I won't release the address to the public for obvious reasons, but this is what is on his page:


If this is not working / you have a problem / you have a question, email me at [email protected] and I'll try to fix it

This version of the game is under heavy development, and will contain bugs! But why should you fucking care about them?

PEOPLE WHO HAVE VISITED THE SITE 000149 Please do report bugs you find in this version to notch



(Indev Version screen goes here)



News: Working inventory items (press I).
Fire, spreads from tile to tile!
New level generation screen
Sound engine by Paul Lamb
Press F7 to save an isometric map. Press I to access the inventory
enjoy no more pre-peeks haha

There are 2 things I wish to point out in this. One is at the very end:

enjoy no more pre-peeks haha

So his main goal was to prevent paying players from receiving this function. In the real Indev version, Notch says he will not release the indev anymore if someone publishes it. God this guy is evil.

Two is somewhere near the beginning:

[email protected]

Now, I'm not usually a bad guy when it comes to revenge, but this guy has really got me ticked. I won't say anything if you decided to COMPLETELY FLOOD HIS E-MAIL WITH COMPLAINTS.

I beg Notch to please not shut down Indev for all the paying players who love this game so much. PLEASE NOTCH, DO NOT SHUT IT DOWN!

Sorry to anyone who payed, and this makes them lose indev, but I could not bear to watch this guy STEAL MONEY from Notch. If you do not believe me, there will probably, in the very near future, be an announcement about this entire ordeal.

Once again, that's:

[email protected]

So, today I accessed my account and found that I have received negative trust from two users, DiamondCardz and TradeFortress.

Here is a copy of the pms:

I sent this to both of them:


Here are the replies I received:




Here is the PM I sent back to TradeFortress:


And to DiamondCardz:


And here is the replies I received:




As you can see, it's clear this TradeFortress person told DiamondCardz to leave me negative trust, he seems to want me to chat 'off-site' which I do not feel comfortable doing.

I have search the forums and found a number of scam accusations against this TradeFortress so I have decided to block him as I think he is trying to scam me.

It's also clear that DiamondCardz blindly left me trust without actually believing it too.

Can I ask a mod to please remove this fake feedback? I have not scammed anyone and do not see any reason to warrant negative trust.

For a scammer tag, the accused person needs to have promised to do something and then failed to deliver on the promise. TradeFortress never promised to pay anyone any bitcoins here. If you trust him to do something that he didn't promise, that's your problem.

I am offering to pay for legally binding arbitration. You choose any reputable service, I pay for it if it's within the general price range. I suggest judge.me. Since you apparently never heard of it, try Google.

To expose and bring awareness to the flaws in the Ripple payment system, I am giving away 1 BTC on Ripple.

In fact TradeFortress is breaching our contract!

I got spam PM from him:

My reply:

TradeFortress reply:

My reply:

He sent 25 BTC and THEN responded:

This means that before receiving payment I don't took an obligation to remove off-blockhain deposits.
Nevertheless, I agree to comply with terms of our contract to integrate Inputs.io ALONG WITH normal blockchain deposits.

I explicitly asked you about conditions:


and you had to answer BEFORE signing a contract by sending payment. By default Bitcoin deposits mean using Bitcoin blockhain, not third-party IOU.

I just offered an option to solve our dispute and close the contract.
Otherwise I still agree to follow contract and integrate Inputs.io into Peerbet (but leave direct blockchain deposits).

I just offered an option to solve our dispute and close the contract.
Otherwise I still agree to follow contract and integrate Inputs.io into Peerbet (but leave direct blockchain deposits).

You first send me SPAM message and started this dispute. I would never enter into this contract if know what condition do you really mean.

I agree to remove my negative feedback if he removes mine, but I think I still deserve moral damage compensation for time lost.
Anyways, I still agree to follow contract and add Inputs.io ALONG WITH direct deposits.

I think refund will take about 30 mins.

25 BTC refunded to 1GLadosEkeAsLReqS3yQ51E1R3wVtbJCDF.
Remove this thread.

TradeFortress, I think you should leave positive feedback on my profile for decision to voluntarily make a refund.

It's up to you to delete your posts now.

Oh TradeFORtress was the one that coded your site? I didn't read that part, I thought it was someone with a copycat name.

Your an idiot, Tradefortress is a legend, your rant is random, probably fake scam report, and invalid. If your site got hacked by someone else, still your fault, it's your website.

/Thread

LOL? Prove that I have "changed my deposit address", that was the auto generated one. You can't even change it, bitcoind or Blockchain.info doesn't let you. It looks like a vanity address through  

Anyway, show me the damages I've done to you. Which is nothing other than your sites relutation, which I think is fair - an eye for an eye. I regularly try to break into sites, and I always disclose it to the owners without any malicious damages done. For some people, I do it publicly.

Here: htmlentities( [db output] ). It's funny how there is so many responses yet no one knows basic web security.

(You can join if you're not a newbie too )

You need at least 10 posts to carry links in your signature! Please only participate if/when you have 10 posts.

1. Replace your sig with the following:


It looks like this:

CoinLenders - earn interest, get loans   ☕ Free bitcoins chatting - CoinChat ⚠ Ripple is a scam
1 BTC raffle - free to enter! You can include your bitcoin address here if you wish

2. Reply with a BTC address here.

3. After 1 month from now, a random winner will receive 1 BTC sent to their address. Simple as that. You must have this in your sig for the entire duration of this raffle.

The prize will be prorated to 0.01 BTC / reply if there are less than 100 entries to this raffle. So if 70 people enter, then the prize will be BTC0.70

It wasn't entirely within the Ripple system. He approached people outside the Ripple system and used mechanisms outside Ripple to convince them to do things. And it wasn't Ripple itself that was compromised, it was just the accounts of the people who did what he told them to do. He told people to tell Ripple to consider a worthless asset as equal in value to a valuable asset, and Ripple did exactly what they told it to do. He used social engineering to induce people to tell a system to do dumb things, then the system did dumb things, and then he blamed it on the system rather than on himself.

Sure they would have. If it didn't do it automatically, you would just have had to trick them into enabling it. There's no reason to think that would have been any more difficult than tricking them into trusting you.

It's roughly comparable to proving that Bitcoin is broken by starting an exchange or web-based wallet and then running off with the money or tricking people into deleting their wallet files. It's a Luddite attack on Bitcoin, Ripple, and technology in general -- an attempt to prove that people are too stupid to have powerful tools.

Bitcoin allows instawallet to do whatever they want without anyone's approval. Both "attacks" take advantage of the fact that you can trick people into doing things that have negative consequences that they might not be aware of.

Both attacks involve tricking someone into doing something that can have negative consequences of which they may not be aware and then exploiting the results of that trick. Even if it required explicit approval, you could just as easily trick people into providing that approval. By requiring it of them before making a payment to them.

http://www.hrmorning.com/would-you-trade-your-password-for-a-candy-bar/

He's convincing people to hurt themselves with powerful technology as a way of arguing that people are too dumb to have that technology or the technology is bad because it enables people to hurt themselves. It's completely different from arguing that there should be better safeties or warnings.

For example, consider a hammer. A person can bash their thumb with a hammer. The Luddite argument is that because people can bash their thumb with a hammer, hammers are bad. Or, worse, convincing people to use hammers carelessly so you can show lots of pictures of black and blue thumbs to stop this scourge of evil hammers. It's not at all the same as arguing that because people can bash their thumbs with a hammer, people need to understand how to safely use hammers or that it might be worth investigating whether a hammer can be designed such that it's more difficult to hit your thumb.

To expose and bring awareness to the flaws in the Ripple payment system, I am giving away 1 BTC on Ripple.

This is a social experiment. Therefore, posts not consisting of an Ripple address to send 1 BTC to will be deleted.

How it works

1. Register for a bitcointalk.org forum account if you haven't
2. Complete the following steps in your light (not a full node) Ripple client:



So you can copy and paste the address we're sending your bitcoin from, it's rH3bZsvVUhzugvcYuJVoSYCEMHkfK6wHNv

3. Post your address here. I will send at least 1 BTC to your address.

That's it!

I suggest reading RippleScam.org afterwards. Please note that you must exchange your bitcoins with an liquidity provider (Ripple does this automatically, when paths are calculated) in order to withdraw them from a gateway.

This social experiment has ended - here was the goals:

1) teach people that Ripple BTCs are not real BTCs
2) teach people that your BTC.* can be substituted for anything you trust, automatically

There was also mass invasion of ripple.com/forum posters. It's not too hard to figure out who they are. Keep this in mind:

1) I have not profited at all from this.
2) Anyone who lost BTC.* had their BTCs exchanged by other people.
3) Anyone who I sent a BTC to could have redeemed someone else's Bitstamp or whatever IOU.

Please read http://ripplescam.org/ to learn more!

Hmm, because of another of your responses, it's quite obvious that this is in response of my exposure of a closed source payments system competing with Bitcoin. I encourage you to read through the information that already exists on the subject.

I am offering to pay for legally binding arbitration. You choose any reputable service, I pay for it if it's within the general price range. I suggest judge.me. Since you apparently never heard of it, try Google.

I think that should give an unbiased third party the reasons behind his scam accusation - BTC rose, he wants to get now 10x more than what he paid in USD terms.

It's also funny, because you tried to bluff with dox, but you got it incorrectly. I do appreciate your passive aggressive PM.
