In that particular situation I wouldn't bother getting involved, it's a waste of my time. What would probably happen is you would have to open a scam accusation, and he would receive negative feedback if you could show he did not follow your agreement.
Topic: which bitcoin addresses have precedence, old or new (Read 471 times)
It's a simple question that usually involves a complicated scenario. If that was all the information I had, and I had to make a decision based on only that, I would go with the older because statistically it has a slightly better chance of going to the proper owner.
It's rarely that simple though, and we generally have access to much more information than that.
Thanks, that helps. I was thinking along the lines of a loan of an account to someone and telling him to return it by some date but he never does. It's rarely that simple though, and we generally have access to much more information than that.

If someone claimed their account was hacked or they forgot the password, and they posted a signed message from a bitcoin address from 2 years ago, but the current owner is able to post a signed message from 6 months ago, which one would take precedence and who would get the account, the guy with the old address or the guy with the newer address?
precedence will first, just in case if the second not have proof, that legally acquired this account from original owner.
