Some guy claims to have developed software that breaks certain encryption, will only sell to "neutral countries" and wants BTC loans, I ask for eproof that he knows what he's talking about at least and gets accused of been part of the Defense Signals Directorate or something.


No, I claimed that I have invented the technology and need loans to bring it to life. Also, you asked for a proof of concept, which is easy to reverse engineer.

I hear you don't even know which function to use for password encryption. I have invented a better-than-currently-best-publically-known-password encryption function worth several milion Swiss francs (CHF) in early November, 2011, but I don't have the money necessary to patent it.

In relation to your lack of expertese, you could only want a proof of concept to provide it to someone knowledgeable. In your country, this would — very obviously — be the Defense Security Directorate (DSD) or a defence contractor providing technology to them.

TradeFortress is not a scammer. He just wants to persuade everyone to share their inventions with him, without any covert action on his part. For instance, he will lend you e.g. an amount of Bitcoins (BTC) equivalent to several thousand Swiss francs (CHF) if you share inventions worth several million Swiss francs (CHF) with him. He is kind of like Satan – you will truly get what he promised, but the catch lies outside of the deal at hand. That is considerably different from a scammer, even though the other party might be "slightly" shocked. Cheesy Cheesy

Wait, what?

Sometimes, I can disagree with TradeFortress' way to do things, and I seriously doubt his judgment over some topics, but as far as I know, he's been fairly careful with security and he's neither a scammer nor a petty blackmailer. Though it doesn't certainly make you look too good taking the bait like this on scamming accusations...  Huh

True.

I must add to this that TF's server got hacked because of a script made by him. Also someone (yes, might be just shill/troll/untrue) accused TF to be a scammer because he was hired to do a web site development and he did it poorly.

The account access requesting at IRC was also very very shady from a guy who is expected to know things about security (as he's a software/website developer). He asked for access to others' #bitcoin-otc accounts.

That's about it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

TF: if you're being accused without a reason, drop the bullshit when replying to them. It makes things complicated and looks like you're trying to hide something.

I've noticed myself that a lot of people enjoy trolling Trade Fortress. My two satoshis: The guy has always been quite straightforward with me, even went out of his way to help me fix what was a simple mistake on my part on one of his sites. Your mileage may vary, but I have a pretty keen eye for scammers, etc. and he does not strike me as the type to risk his reputation over skiddie shenanigans. I also question why most of the people slinging mud are either tagged as scammers or have very low reputations on this site. Until I am proven wrong, I feel I have no need not to trust someone that is making obvious contributions to the bitcoin community.

Ok due to certain events getting banned from coinchat today I am forced to retract my above statements. A guy that will not stand up for even his little members deserves it I suppose organized trolling and disrpution group. I look forward to seeing what information you can provide, and I am researching all the other leads you provided me in the email. My apologies. I'm really mad that I got banned before I was able to disrupt even more

Strange how quickly people you think you can trust leave you pissing in the wind in this business. banned for doing something wrong.

Best regards. Have fun on coinpr0n, I don't even ..

1. Buy alt accounts
2. Sell them to you
3. Leave negative reputation

Pretty easy.

Actually it was like this:

1. Buy alt accounts
2. Impersonate a person who was a regular buyer of our accounts and not a seller
3. Use a bitmessage address which that person does not use and send us a message from a different address (obviously)
4. Have absolutely no clue who the person was - he is a hacker lol! of course any accounts he would be selling would be hacked! yet you said you knew nothing about hacking
5. We wonder what your game is knowing its TF and co, so contact you back looking to buy accounts rather than sell them to you to see what your reaction is
6. We buy your accounts for 0.07 (nice deal btw) to see what your trying to pull here
7. We have extra troll accounts and more info on you as the end result, you out 3 alts that you gave us in the first place.

Our plan was to keep in contact with pizza and keep this going we had an actual plan unlike you, but since you want to play it like that then meh!

What were you trying to achieve exactly?

I'm getting bored. I think I'm going to eat some pizza now.

You think we didn't cop that one from the beginning? We knew 'something' was up, hence why we did what we did with the account just to see what your reaction would be. Thanks for giving that one away so easily!

I'm not on anyone's side here...

Is it just me or does TradeFortress get a lot of Scam Accusations?  What keeps happening that all these pissed off people keep posting these?

Like we have said before, we will be launching a website that explains everything about tradefortress.

We're waiting for him to post what he has on us first, then we will post what we have on him.
