Tradefortress' comment was "spammer, defrauded coinchat". Were you using coinchat in the last few months? If so, what were you doing on it?

I used it a few months ago. I didn't realize until now that 'tradefortress' is 'admin' from coinchat. So at least this explains part of the puzzle.

I *did* use coinchat a few months ago and I was banned by "admin". We exchanged some emails in which I asked him what I had done to be banned and I didn't ever get a detailed response. He said I owed him 0.2BTC if I wanted to be reinstated on coinchat. I asked him several times where he came up with that number and what I had done wrong. Each time, however, he just replied tersely about some sort of fraud and paying him back.

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.

Just discovered that his complaint about me says he risked 1.5BTC. This is an out and out lie. I have never had any trade deals with tradefortress and I challenge him to produce the slightest evidence that we ever had any deal. I cannot understand why he is lying about me in this way.

FWIW, I can show on the blockchain that I only own about 1.1BTC and that most of that came from Dragon's Tale casino and sealswithclubs.

Wish I could do something to erase or challenge this attack on my integrity. Is there no moderation system for this sort of thing?

Risked BTC amount is money that the person could have stolen or did steal. For example, if you do a currency trade where the other person sends first, your feedback for them would have 0 risked BTC and their feedback for you would have risked BTC equal to the BTC value of the trade.

So, according to this, I still can't see how tradefortress has 'risked' a single btcent on me. We've had no exchanges on this forum. We've entered into no currency trade agreement. This seems like a blatant abuse of a little guy by some angry, poweful bitcoin mogul. I really feel like I'm getting pushed around by this guy and I wish there was something I could do about it other than try to change my username.
