Provenance.im - Bitcoin Transaction Accelerator Scam
by

⭐ Merited by Timelord2067 (1)
https://provenance.im/ is a Bitcoin transaction accelerator scam.  They just steal your money, there is no support.  The "trusted business" badges and links are fake. 

One of the associated addresses is: 18z24LMedkAV4dXSYHfy7YG9HW6UXQmfME

Where else can this be reported?

What is the difference between "enabled" and "active" masternodes as shown on http://heliumstats.online/mynodes/mynodes.php

Do "enabled" but not "active" nodes earn block rewards?


They'll change status from active to enabled once they get paid. Hope you managed to get everything working.

Yes I did. Quite an easy and straight forward setup actually other than the exact 1,000 amount issue. It was super easy even without the setup script. A+ for user-friendliness.  Probably it would be good to specifically mention if the amount is not exactly 1,000 it won't work in the setup guide.

Do you believe the send EXACTLY 1000 coins to the mn address instruction does not cover it or is unclear?

It should warn users it won't work if you send extra. In my case I sent extra because I believed the fees would be deducted leaving the masternode with 999.99xx.  There is hardly a standard functionality across all cryptocurrencies for how fees are dealt with, how they're calculated, etc.

It's time for a new captcha on the login screen

This is totally ridiculous, this happens over and over again and the number of captchas that need to be completed is 4 or 5 or even more.  This is worse with Tor.

"reCAPTCHA has apparently marked your IP address as suspicious, and refuses to tell me whether you actually solved the CAPTCHA. If you go back and retry it several times, it will eventually work. If you are using Tor, going to Onion->New Identity might immediately fix it. "

That you're making difficult and even nearly impossible for people to maintain privacy on a bitcoin forum is more than a little ironic.  With Tor it often takes four or five attempts and each attempt may require solving 5 or more captchas.  It's beyond ridiculous.

Lol
Have to admit,I got a little chuckle outta that exchange...

Anyway, jsyk, will attempt the masternode thing again after few weeks of staking.
Probably a vps issue and couldn’t be bothered to set one up.


I am still confused as to why it should fail if you send a few extra HLM.

What are you trying to do and/or what errors are you having?

I was trying to setup a masternode and i sent a few more than 1,000 HLM to the masternode address. It didn't work and generated an error (detailed in my original post).  In fact it does work if you send EXACTLY 1,000, not more and not less. Can understand why it should fail if you put extra collateral but it does.

Could be there is an issue with the Slack invite link (I'm getting the same error): you can use this: https://join.slack.com/t/onetrollbox/shared_invite/enQtNDUyMDg5NzM1MzUxLTVlOTk4YTllZGU0ZmFiZWYyMTgxZWQwOGIwZmZmM2YxYjY2ZTk2YzI1MzI0Y2Y0NDdiODBhYTVjMjkzMzFjYjI

No need to calculate the fee, the client will do it for you. If you send 1000 HLM the client will add the fee on top automatically.



Thanks for the link.  How can I unlock the tokens and make them available to send from the old masternode address to the new one?

Thanks.

You have to enable coin control features. On helium wallet --> Settings --> Options --> Wallet Tab --> Check enable coin control features --> restart wallet.
Then go to Send Tab --> Click on open coin control --> Unlock your coins or do whatever

I don't have any such options in settings, I only have:

Encrypt wallet...
Change passphrase...
BIP38 Tool
MultiSend

There is nothing that says "options" under any of the top level drop down menus.
Wallet version 0.15.2
Please, at least try with eyes open

My version 0.15.2 calls this PREFERENCES, at the same time I have a top level menu called "settings" also that does not have those items.

Screen shots best viewed with "eyes open":

Status: 101 confirmations
Date: 28/10/18 13:02
From: unknown
To:
(own address, label: )
Credit: 1010.99123055 HLM
Net amount: +1010.99123055 HLM
Transaction ID:
Output index: 0

I can't find any way to resolve this.


This makes it look like you sent more than the 1000 required HLM.  For a masternode you must send exactly 1000 HLM, not more, not less.  I'd recommend that you create a new masternode alias and send exactly 1000 to the new address.  Then check your masternode outputs again and you should see the transaction ID.

To your other question, there's usually a lot of very helpful people hanging around the support and masternode channels on Slack who would help you get it going.


I see now that the fee is specified in HLM per KB.  Therefore if I don't know exactly how many bytes my transaction is, I won't be able to calculate exactly 1,000 landing in the new address, not to mention rounding errors.  Are you sure this is true?  Given the way the fees work, this seems like an incredibly bad design.

Can anyone tell me how to find the Helium slack?

The only link I could find is this https://heliumslack.herokuapp.com/ but it generates an application error.

Where do I access the slack?

Can anyone tell me how I can move exactly 1000 HLM from this address to the new address? 

Isn't that kind of a poor design that it fails if you have MORE than the requirement?

Is there a standard or minimum transaction fee I need to look out for? I think from the exchange it was 0.01.  Is that going to be the same when I move between my own addresses?

Where are these support channels found that are referenced in the masternode setup guide?

"Helium community on Discord: TBA (#help for technical support)"?  "#masternodes and we will help you fix it."  Where does one find the "Helium community on Discord"?  Is #masternodes also on discord?

These instructions are not working for me: https://www.heliumlabs.org/v1.0/docs/masternode-setup-guide

The 'masternode outputs' command yields only this:

"11:23:01 [
]"

It seems to me however that if you open the transaction tabs on the GUI wallet v0.15.2 right click the transaction, click "transaction details" you get the same information that would be expected from 'masternode outputs' in the debug console, plus more.  It outputs a popup with the following details:

Status: 101 confirmations
Date: 28/10/18 13:02
From: unknown
To:
(own address, label: )
Credit: 1010.99123055 HLM
Net amount: +1010.99123055 HLM
Transaction ID:
Output index: 0

Isn't the transaction ID the same as the ""txhash":" we're expecting to see from 'masternode outputs' in the debug console?  If not, how do I get it, since the debug console command doens't work?  Isn't "Output index:" the same as "outputidx:" expected to be returned by 'masternode outputs'?  If not how do I get it?

I took the Transaction ID and Output index and substituted them for the txhash and outputidx I cannot retrieve and followed the rest of the instructions. Everything worked fine until the last step.  I cannot start the masternode.  I get an error that says:

Alias:
Failed to start masternode.
Error: Could not allocate txin :0 for masternode :9009

What should I do to resolve this or where can I get help?

This transactions is absolutley fully confirmed and the first tab of the wallet shows:

Combined balance
Available: 0.00 HLM
Total: 1010.99 HLM

HLM Balance (100.00%)
Available: 0.00 HLM
Locked: 1010.99 HLM
Total: 1010.99 HLM

Recent transactions shows the 1010.99xx transaction that was sent to the masternode address created in the first steps of the guide.

I can't find any way to resolve this.
