The
howzar Marcotheminer saga started in May 2014 when
howzar was
banned for sending unsolicited PM's attempting to purchase bitcointalk.org forum accounts. At the time he was running the
luckyb.it signature campaign, but was a very bad campaign manger.
Howzar even had an anti spam rule saying: "** I WILL ONLY CHOOSE MEMBERS WHICH I DEEM ARE NOT SHILL ACCOUNTS **". His own shill account however was enrolled
as indicated by both howzar, and
the owner of luckyb.it once howzar was relieved of his duty. He received payment
here. Luckily Howzar was quickly banned and relieved of his duty of managing the luckyb.it signature campaign.
Fast forward to today, and Marcotheminer has gotten banned one more time. Him managing bit-x has not changed anything. He made a lot of mistakes very early on. His very first enrollee, got payment for 111 posts when he only made 63 posts as a full member. (
username...
transaction identifier).
Strangely enough, an account called
marcoman22 made well in excess of the 50 required posts however it received zero from marcotheminer.
Fast forward to today, you will see that macotheminer has been playing reckless with money right from the start. He is using an online computer to store in excess of 20
BTC and using an online wallet that has had a number of security issues, so many security issues that it is not even listed on bitcoin.org.
Marcotheminer even paid some people that should not have been paid. Out of laziness, incompetence, or both he failed to exclude posts in the games and rounds and local boards sections. He gave payment to
troleybüs who only made 36 posts, but was paid for more then 50.
Marcotheminer is breaking his own rule
Rules:
- All users who receive valid negative trust and/or are banned for spam or likewise during the course of the campaign will be denied payment.
Marcotheminer received valid negative trust from BadBear for trafficking in stolen accounts and has been
banned from bitcointalk but I have not seen any official announcement that he will kick himself out of his campaign, I do see that he paid himself when he should not have been paid.
This is not the first time that Marcotheminer has been banned. His previous
ban was for sending unsolicited PM's asking to buy their accounts. If you do not know how
Mobo is the same as Marco then you will just have to wait

More people seem to find it very odd that bit-x is trusting marcotheminer with so much money. This is part of what was received by a very prominent member of the forum
I have no clue if marcotheminer is him, but anyway, anybody handing 18BTC right away to a "sig manager" for a signature campaign is crazy. It's a sure receipe to being scamed.
Coming very soon:Part 5: marcotheminer's alts: spammed beyond belief
