@JollyGood, you remind me of one of the cases I investigated in 2019.

* Topic: account seller, the biggest on the bitcointalk forums from Newbie to Lagendary.

I spent hours disclosing accounts being sold and bought, at that time I realized and on the other hand it can be proven that accounts are sold and bought, really can't be trusted and can harm other people, I really annihilate such account behavior.

YOSHIE my friend I am stunned at the amount of effort you put on to creating that thread. The energy expended in adding names to that thread and that specific post must have been immense.

I once got a PM from a member here, about two years ago, he bought an account with one of the members in a certain area, he paid $400 for an SR account, after paying the first member who sells accuses the buyer of the account being hacked, even though the buyer has paid the account $400, whether that is good or bad behavior, for both parties, of course not.
On the other hand, I painted the account red and again the account was sold to another member for $50, another buyer PM me to remove the tag I gave, of course I don't care, instead, I doubled the paint twice red, to make it spicier.

That is one aspect of account buying and selling that is not discussed frequently enough. It must be something that happens but we have no idea about how often.

I also think that sellers and buyers of accounts should be beaten, so that there are no victims of greed, of course I will publish here at a later date, if I find a trading account, in a new case, to follow up.

That is why I hope the thread can be used to collate a huge number of views just so we can come to sort of agreement or consensus about how to move forward. There have been some suggestions about tagging most/all traded accounts which exchanged hands before the launch date of the merit system in 2018. If we keep posting opinions here it might be possible to lay down the foundation for a framework as we go forward as a community.

I might be wrong, but I think nutildah is talking about rby (the user you just replied to). Apparently, the account changed hands, and the previous owner was a scammer from way back (although there aren't any negatives from the DT). I didn't investigate further to determine if the new owner is a spammer or not. Undecided

Yes, I came to that conclusion too but it took some time Grin

I spent some time looking at @rby's post history yesterday, and I can safely say that he is not the original owner of the account.
The original owner was a coder, miner, and security specialist. He very actively promoted his Rubycoin project and was its direct developer. As he often put it, he worked on it for six months, 100 hours a week.

~snip~

And that's why I asked the opinion of @JollyGood himself about what he thinks about this account.
It was he, who was the creator of the topic, who accused this project of being a scam.
There are many allegations about this project on the Internet.

They call themselves a precious gem for the digital age but is it all a scam? I posted in their official censored thread and had my post deleted because they want to silence any critical posts just Minex official thread is doing.

After 10 months of no posts in its official Rubycoin thread the OP (rby) woke up from self-imposed hibernation and made the following post:

I would also like to hear a truthful answer to whether @rby is the original owner, and in this case, explain why there are so many complaints about this project. I don't expect much, though.

Yes going all the way back to January 2019 I created a scam accusation about the rby scammer. I cannot recall why I did not tag the account, I simply cannot work out why I did not tag.

Well, though it would be good for the current rby account operator to explain their actions (in the buying/selling process when they purchased the rby account), I expect to hear very little from them now that the account has been tagged by multiple members.

For the current rby account, there is a sense of irony that the account is enrolled in the Sinbad.io signature campaign

Satoshi worked more than six months and 100 hours a week to develop bitcoin. Where is Satoshi now and incase you find him, do you still expect him to be working six months, 100 hours a week in the bitcoin project still?

The laughable part in that thread is that somehow the Bitcoin creator (Satoshi) and the Rubycoin creator (rby) have been mentioned in the same sentence Grin

Even in the back days of the forum during my promotion of Rubycoin, can you show me at one time I have been involved in the mining board or technical board, and later on stopped. Must everyone be in the technical or mining board?

So the current owner/operator of the rby account claims to be the original creator of the account.

You understand that you do not have any case here not even an iota. If there be, you should have uncovered it. Atleast, I have known you for sometime here and how you work.

Poker player, follow the standard and don't just speculate. Everyone knows how to go into one another's profile to write whatever feedbacks. But we do it only when there are glaring evidences which are purely indisputable.

The current owner/operator of the rby account has already claimed they are the original creator of the account, as stated here therefore we have that statement now.

From this point forward, all posts related to rby in this thread will be deleted as we have already gone off-topic for too long. Feel free to continue the discussion regarding all matters related to the rby account in the newly created uncensored thread: The curious case of forum member: rby (of the Rubycoin scam)
