Can someone please explain this post of woodcollector..Huh?

He seems to have a straight line problem.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9687095

Hi guys, It seems i have been able to find the answer to all my other problems through Bitcoin and its community so here goes another attempt.

I am looking to have a laser engraver engineered that does not suffer from the "straight line" problem.

The straight line problem can be better understood by watching this video

Buying and off the shelf laser engraver means i could only engrave things that are round which have a perfectly straight line to write on, So something like a vase which has curves cannot be engraved as the laser is out of focus on any part of the vase that is not on the focus line.

I would be willing to offer a negotiable fee or bounty to anyone who could solve this engineering problem. You would not need to build the actual machine. Just provide engineering documents and a parts list so i could build it DIY style.

Thanks

If I were Blazedout I would by taking the BTC to an expert appraiser to determine if it is pink ivory. $14k is definitely worth suing someone over, especially if it's a relatively simple case of fraud that only peripherally involves Bitcoin.

I was the guy woodcollecter was going to hire to build the Tor hidden service. Woodcollector told me in a PM he always uses Tor and is "anonymous", so I assume getting his real identity may be somewhat difficult.
Could be. I'd hope he would have gotten more information on the guy before ponying over $14k, but who knows.
According to the trust WC sent blazedout419, he shipped the piece to him and blazedout419 paid him after it was received. Since he got what he thought he paid for there was no reason to withhold payment.

I don't understand why no one was able to find this post when everything he was posting was being put through so much scrutiny. Regardless, I am fairly certain that this more or less confirms that he was scamming the entire time.

I admit that I was somewhat doubting this would be the end result, unfortunately I ended up being wrong on this one.

I would say that his scam was very unique and he did a very good job of fooling a lot of people.

Leaving negative trust


I agree... his work was/is really cool.   alot of people would buy stuff......Listen folks....I can do this same work at a much cheaper price...I can find any vector stock you want and I have proven it.......really I can , I will buy a laser engraver.. but insted of high$$$$ rare exotic endangered hard wood... I will buy OAK from home depot

Any one want to help start a laser engraved, internet vector art,  locally found wood at the home depot... I would love to start a small business...nothing fancy.... just round pieces of oak with a laser engraved image.....PM me to help out.....LOL   LOL   LOL...
I honestly know very little about wood, this is probably why I was not buying nubbins claims, and is probably why so many people fell for his scam.

The wood he was using was apparently very expensive which would somewhat add to it's value, although this may or may not be a lie and his customers likely did/do not have any way to detainee which kind of wood was used.

Hilarious. He is looking for a laser engraver that will burn onto curved surfaces, like the shaft of a dildo for instance. LMFAO.

 News: He found one.  Grin

Or a $14,000 wooden BTC with a honeycomb pattern, for example.


so he can laser bongs for the secret tor bong site

I also wouldn't say they are all neural third parties to this dispute.

Most of the negatives are from people who have relied on questionable (to say it nicely) evidence against him. A good number of the feedback ratings also stipulate that they are willing to remove their feedback at a later date if/when they see evidence that shows WC is not creating his art with lasers.

I am personally on the fence as to if he is actually lying or not. I do think there is a lot of damming evidence against him, however there is also evidence in his favor. I would say at the very least it is not clear cut that he is scamming.

Wow in the last 2 days this many negative feedback should say something as not all of us are "competitors" of his and are neutral parties with no skin in the game:




nubbins 11: -0 / +6(6)   2015-01-21   0.00000000   Reference   
Confirmed scammer and art thief. Misrepresents machine-cut work as being hand-carved so he can charge exorbitant prices. Steals art from real artists and uses it without attribution.

e1ghtSpace 0: -0 / +0(0)   2015-01-23   0.00000000      
Sells cheap laser engraved pieces of wood as though they are hand carved. Apparently uploading "proof" in a video on youtube but the URL is not visible. He will probably say his internet cut out in a few hours and he lost all of his upload progress.


fluffypony 3: -0 / +3(3)   2015-01-23   0.00000000   Reference   
Everyone is entitled to make a profit in their business. It's even ok to make a fat profit, I don't care. But at 3400% it's a scam.

Mitchełł 17: -0 / +12(12)   2015-01-23   0.00000000      
Sells cheap laser engraved wood coins as "hand carved" ones.

smoothie 16: -0 / +9(9)   2015-01-23   0.00000000   Reference   
Misrepresented himself as creating original artwork/designs and instead uses clip art off the internet. Refuses to return $200 deposit of user LaserViking despite having misrepresented himself as creating original artwork. Once LazerViking caught wind of this WCollector refused to refund deposit and went on an immature rant of cussing and insulting. Very immature. Has still failed to provide irrefutable evidence that his work is not created with a laser engraver after having several dozen requests for him to provide such evidence. Is selling overpriced artwork that is advertised as original and hand-carved when it is not.

Tomatocage 63: -0 / +31(31)   2015-01-23   0.00000000      
Fraud. Peddling cheap laser engraved pieces if wood, advertising them as "hand carved"

Sakarias-Corporation 0: -0 / +1(1)   2015-01-23   0.00000000      
i've been making my own Pipes by hand for some years now and its clear that these Creations are Fake. Laser cut.

LazerViking 0: -0 / +1(1)   2015-01-23   1.00000000      
This guy stole my money. I commissioned a wood bitcoin from him and down paid 1 BTC. 3 days later, when the truth came out that all of his pieces are designs taken off straight off the internet, I requested a refund. He refused to give my 1 BTC back. The guy is misrepresenting his pieces as original works of art. He asks the customer all sorts of questions about who they are as a person and what makes them tick and how they want piece designed, and says that he will give them a "sketch" of the their description along with what he envisions. But his designs are literally copied right off the internet, down to every little detail. It is a fraud. DO NOT GIVE THIS MAN ANY MONEY.

qwk 8: -0 / +5(5)   2015-01-21   0.00000000   
Reference   without further evidence I'll regard his works as NOT hand-carved. I consider his claims scam.

danielpbarron -4: -1 / +0(0)   2015-01-20   0.00000000   
Reference   His response to nubbins` fraud accusation seems dodgy.

BigBitz 22: -0 / +11(11)   2015-01-20   0.00000000      
I do not believe he is physically hand crafting these pieces. I am willing to be proved wrong if he posts a video of him performing the carving.
