A lot of posting from many community members too, skimmed through to be honest.
Why can't we all live and let live?
This is not even about someone getting scammed or a sale gone wrong.
Also 0.2 BTC for a pic of the back of the coins?
I mean whatever you guys do with your money... It's your money at the end of the day.
I think for the sake of this forum section as well as for potential new comers getting interested in physical crypto we should think twice before starting something like this. I understand if it's because a scam but when there isn't one... what does this solve/proves?
I know Tman and OGnasty as I have been around this forum for a while and have nothing against nor have had any problems with them.
They are both very active sellers and respectable community members.
However both have had some past issues and it shows from the passion coming out of their posts.
My suggestion: don't make yourself sound like children, because this is what it looks like to people who have no issues with the two in question.
It doesn't reflect well on this forum section IMOHO. Peace up!
totally agree with your points bud.. this isnt about 0.2BTC this is about one of the forums most trusted members abusing trust.
self escrowing is something that OG has stabbed at people for. The reason is situations like this.. I don't bet what I cannot afford to lose and this is not about winning a bet, I am sure some other members will speak up about my reckless spending of BTC.
anyway I will keep my potty mouth in check moving forwards, but this does not change the fact that OG is acting in a shady manner
I remember when I first came across this section of the forum with interest as a collector I was so amazed by the support coins manufacturers and community resellers were getting by everyone, it was a pleasure to read the various sale threads. The atmosphere was great. But since a while things have gone a bit haywire from that point of view, and I'm not considering this incident only.
It helps the community as a whole when a scammer is caught when, for instance, someone starts swiping loaded coins (see Coinographic, Alitin mint) and everyone chips in to help and figure things out swiftly, warning other users, etc. There are some very skilled and technical people on here, they can track shit that I didn't even think was possible, I also learned a lot in the process. That's when I feel like: wow this community is great, I want to be part of it.
Don't get me wrong, this section is fine and there are plenty awesome deals, coin releases, and a lot of positive energy going on.
It can only get better going forward, I hope.
If there are some personal issues don't forget you can always PM someone and let it all out.
You can also choose to go for a nice meal and forget all about it.
Count until 10 (or 100 in some cases) before going public, sometimes it does work.
