Re: Master-P POSSIBLE SCAM. I lost complete faith in this forum now.
So if I steal your money, you threaten to dox me if I don't return it, and I make a post saying "Don't worry, I'm working on it, and, BTW, this is really me!" you wouldn't dox me?
In such case, yes, I would reveal personal information so nobody would deal with that person again, as that person would most likely scam again (or would at least stop scamming now that their personal information is known). But that's not the case we're seeing here neither what you propose would really help right now.
Not sure I understand your ELI5. Please tell me which number you disagree with:
1) TECHSHARE threatened to dox Master-P if money is not returned.
2) Master-P (real or not) makes a post, 'proving' that he is, indeed, Master-P.
3) TECHSHARE, satisfied, agrees to stop (postpone) the doxxening.
4) No money changed hands.
I don't disagree with any point, that seems to be more or less what's happening here.
TECSHARE only agreed to postpone doxing Master-P because he made a post that contained a verified signed message from a previously used address. This makes it highly likely that that was the real master-p, but we do not know for sure. If he does not restore the funds within some amount of time, TECHSHARE will continue with doxing master-P.
Exactly

Which brings me back to my original question:This is very encouraging. I am satisfied for now that there is a reasonable chance this is the real Master-P. I am putting your doxing on hold indefinitely pending your refund of held funds. I am glad you are sorting it out.
ELI5: Why Master-P [real or hax0r] posting should delay dox dump?
TL;DR: 1) Is the dump getting postponed? 2) If so, why?
Dox may be delayed because Master-p is supposedly rebuilding his wallet on another computer.
The dox is not postponed.
EDIT: the transaction mentioned by REAL-master-p happened here, as far as I can see, but no addresses mentioned on the thread. It would be nice if the escrow used could confirm the address.
