Hi tspacepilot aka wikib0t aka testycat aka newman aka manny on Coinchat,
The best guess I have at what he was angry about is that I was experimenting with robots on his site using the api the he published (and I as I understood it) he encouraged us to use. I enjoyed coinchat and I learned a lot about node.js while I was experimenting there. I was sad to get kicked off because I had a lot of fun chatting there and gambling on the various robots. What I can't understand is how a site that gives money for chatting is going to cry 'fraud' when I took money for chatting. I mean, the site gave me money and I cashed it out using the site's system. How on earth is that fraudulent? Another thing I can't understand is how the 0.2 he asked me for (and I'm still not sure where he got that number) has now inflated to 1.5BTC.
Excuse the language but
bullshit.
Ok?
You were using a bot to send automated messages on coinchat and reaping the rewards fraudulently.
I was using a script (that you helped me make) which was experimenting with reading wikipedia articles, I was trying to turn this into a question answering machine.
You know that is against the rules. Nobody with any intelligence will think it is OK to run a bot to spam coinchat and get rewards. Bots are not allowed to earn rewards, bot accounts must have the name b0t in them and you've tried wikib0t. You've also said you "reviewed the rules" through email on Aug 30 and then tried wikib0t.
Actually, I didn't get to review the rules until
after you banned me. I asked for them several times before that though.
I have zero interest in wasting time with spammers who try to lawyer their way out.
It might help for you to review the wikipedia article on spam [
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_(electronic) ]. The accepted definition seems to revolve around sending unsolicited bulk messages. I don't know why you think that my script to answer wikipedia questions qualifies as spam. Also, thanks for your interest measurement, I'd say that I have zero interest in being falsely attacked by a bitcoin mogul who
has demonstrated a surprising amount of interest in going after a little guy on a bitcoin discussion forum.
If an ATM gives you money you shouldn't have got, legally you're in the wrong.
So, your coinchat site is an ATM? And your use of the adverb "legally" suggests that you believe there's some relevant law here? I'm sorry to say, man, I didn't sign any TOS when I joined coinchat. I had a good time chatting and making friends until you kicked me off. Ask around on your own site, tspacepilot was helpful and fun. And I was having a pleasant time here too until you started putting fire up my ass. If you have something better to do, then why not go on and do it?
