I don't "like" to judge others. What I do like to do is identify cheaters, scammers, and liars. In some odd way I feel like I'm making the forum a better place, even if nobody else cares or sees it that way.

Since the other topic was locked:


Obviously the mistake is yours.

You paid yourself from the contest (or were going to, anyway), so obviously DragonSlots was right not to trust you.


You cheated not only this contest but tons of others as well, and have no moral leg to stand on.

You shouldn't have been so greedy. You've got no one to blame but yourself.

Agreed. He even posted under his other account in this thread, a blunder born from sheer rage.



Whoops.

No, you weren't. You have 1 post in that thread while kojektea has 10.

You opened a buying and selling business so you used kojektea's social media accounts for a report in a bounty you never even applied for?

Hi, no.

Just ignore him. Holydarkness is trying his best to help you, regardless of what that guy has to say. Holydarkness has a good reputation here -- he is known for helping players sort their problems, and Rating Place is not.

No, and here's why: he's been running an account farm since 2017.

In the other thread, I thought it was odd how one of the "other" participants in the contest posted this in the thread:


Then this guy showed up with an equally useless comment:


So first of all, there's this:


Gonna add these here for completion:









There are scores of transfers between these address, like these ones:





Here they are all sending BNB to the same Binance deposit address:



Not to mention they frequently fund one another:




The following accounts have transactions to or from this address:
Blowon
eXtremal
the rise
greekcommunity
asyakashi
kojektea
Innerpumper

Oh and would you look at this:



Double oops:



Finally, several of these accounts have been cheating in the same contests for years:

Chips.gg | BTC Price Prediction | Prize- $100 | No deposit, No wagering| 15/07
greekcommunity
the rise
kojektea
asyakashi

WOLF.BET ⭐️ Lucky Number 3rd Edition ⭐️19 Prizes 🍀 $100 Prize pool 🍀 29 Days
greekcommunity
Blowon
lvsca
eXtremal
kojektea

Finally finally, the merit transfers between these accounts are pretty heavy:

https://bpip.org/Profile?p=lvsca
https://bpip.org/Profile?p=the%20rise
https://bpip.org/Profile?p=kojektea



There is no doubt in my mind that all these accounts are operated by the same person, and I will be tagging all of them. There's also a few smaller accounts that I skipped, he can have fun building those up at the risk of them being exposed in the future.

There's nothing worse than an indignant cheater with a bad attitude.

That's not what I see at all. I see Holydarkness taking considerable time to help as many different players from as many different casinos as possible. He is not an official representative for any casino. I don't know if he gets paid outside his sig campaign, but that's not really relevant, because he is out there actually trying, and he has indeed been able to help dozens of people reach a resolution with casinos in the past.

This is totally the opposite of what you're doing, which is fuckall. You just moan and bitch under every thread he appears in -- unprompted.

The only thing at all relevant or helpful that you said was that OP should also lodge a complaint with Ask Gamblers. Other than that, you are doing more harm than good for OP's chances of getting a favorable resolution.

Wow, that flag was amazingly effective. Our friend deleted almost all of his posts from the forum and has seemingly left for good. He had 532 posts, 20 deleted by mods, 22 remaining, so that means he deleted 490 posts, lol.

Doesn't look good... No "manager" should try to force themselves into a contest. Its bad etiquette and highly unprofessional.

This is a placeholder comment because I need to remind myself to look into something tomorrow.

Hey, good catch! You're absolutely right. I fixed it and this is the proper tx, I'm pretty sure:


A couple of the numbers were in reverse order, so I fixed them to match the tx in question.

Now I've graduated to the next error: "RPC error -26: bad-txns-nonstandard-inputs"

 

I guess I need someone running a custom version of Bitcoin to push the transaction through for me...

In any case, thanks, I would have never thought to decode the TX to double-check everything was in order.


Guess I'll do that now...

Looks like its been around since 2018 and is recently making a comeback.


It appears to operate MLM-style, which is why people promote it:


I tagged the one active promoter of this, noting that they were also promoting a "Bitcoin life insurance" scam, lol.

Trust me if I had Bitcoin Core on my computer I would have tried it. I can't help but think there's a way to do it through a push tx service. And I wouldn't want to pay a miner to include it if its malformed, which may be the case. I tried doing it through here:

https://bitaccelerate.com/pushtx/

which says this at the bottom:

"Тhіѕ ѕеrvісе іѕ uѕіng thе "ѕеndrаwtrаnѕасtіоn" mеthоd оf thе Віtсоіn Соrе сlіеnt. Yоur trаnѕасtіоn muѕt bе ѕіgnеd аnd muѕt nоt соntаіn unсоnfіrmеd іnрutѕ."

But still got an error.

For reference, this is the unsigned transaction I was trying, would be grateful if someone could analyze it and tell me if something is wrong:


This is the error I get from blockstream.info/tx/push when attempting to broadcast the signed transaction:

"sendrawtransaction RPC error -25: bad-txns-inputs-missingorspent"

Hi chat,

I need some big brained input on this one. I am trying to spend the multisig outputs from this transaction (I have hundreds like it and the end goal is to collect all of them, which is >$1k in BTC):

https://mempool.space/tx/ed2d8fbedc5860092ae7d72aeb0d81b31d5560f39a90692e83d0cdfef82295d8

I managed to "vibe code" my way to a broadcast-able transaction that spends the 2 outputs to the address of origin, but I received the following error on Electrum and other push tx services:

"bad-txns-inputs-missingorspent"

(I know they are unspent b/c I used a service in 2014 to redeem a bunch of similar outputs; that transaction is here).

I tried recreating the transaction for the network to recognize that multisig outputs are being spent, and now I get this error:

"scriptsig-not-pushonly"

Something to keep in mind is that this is a "fake multisig" transaction, meaning it just requires 1 of 2 signatures; the 1st public key comes from my address and the 2nd public key is fake.

This is the service I used to create to multisig output consolidation transaction in 2014, but it is no longer functioning:

http://redeem.bitwatch.co/

They even have a thread on this forum.

So my question is, if I paste the raw hex tx here, could you tell me why the transaction is being rejected?

An easier question to answer might be is there a push tx service for non-standard transactions? I'm not sure if they exist, but would be good to know if one is out there.

Thanks for your help.

This is meaningless drivel and near spam. It might be you're right to post it but you're potentially making the world a stupider place by doing so.

You're completely full of shit and your particular case was a giant nothingburger. Here's what happened for your case:

1 - you gambled on DuckDice a long time ago
2 - over a year later, you thought, hey, I have questions about their provably fair system
3 - you filed a scam accusation providing ZERO evidence to substantiate your claims
4 - Holydarkness helped you as best they could
5 - it quickly became apparent there was no way to help you as neither you nor anyone else had any evidence to back your claims
6 - you set about attacking HD, the only person who tried to help you, and telling lies about reputable members of the forum when it was convenient for you
7- you persisted in libeling DD and HD

And that's where we are now. This is a 100% accurate summarization of what happened. If you disagree, show me where I am wrong and I will personally apologize.

Here's the thing: XYes' reputation isn't worth trying to salvage. After I saw this post yesterday by one of their biggest shills, made 6+ months before they opened their thread here - and right around the time they opened for business - I knew something was fishy:


He also made the next reference to this casino on the forum:


I'm 99% certain this Riceandbean account is usekevin, who is a scammer that also managed a sig campaign (extremely shittily, I might add) for another casino with a poor reputation, BETKEN. Maybe he passed the job to God of Thunder after he was exposed as a scammer. Maybe he actually opened the casino himself. We will never know the truth so its not worth speculating any further.

Other things to take into consideration:

 - XYes completed fabricated their license.
 - they claim to be a "no KYC" casino / book but this is obviously not true.
 - they claim to have "over a million active users" yet have trouble paying out winning bets of $300.

Lastly, although a bit off-topic, there's no way this guy should be on DT... I don't know what y'all are thinking by including him:


Sorry OP but I do not think you will get any money back at this point. At least they were "generous" enough to refund your deposit, lol.

Honestly, yes, and I do all the time. Not to register accounts, necessarily, but to view historical topics, of which there are hundreds that are interesting.

Aside from Bitcoin (obviously), many blockchain "firsts" happened here on this very forum.

As for your other points about most new posts being boring, you're absolutely right! I cannot argue against this point. However, there's still some interesting stuff going on in a few places, and I appreciate the camaraderie that I've developed with several others here over the years.

You're prefessionally full of shit is what you are. Your 3rd post:


This was 6 months before XYes came to the forum! 

The way you write (outside of the AI posts) is remarkably similar to the serial loan defaulter and disgraced campaign manager, usekevin. And a lot like this account too:


You seem to be a prefessional liar above all else.

Ah, indeed you did, and yes, you chose the most lenient type of flag, which is a good choice. I have supported flag.

Moving away from the allegation of arbitrage betting, "value betting" in itself shouldn't be a reason to confiscate winnings. Ideally, a sportsbook makes money from the spread in odds, meaning that if they have enough bettors on two sides of a bet, they will profit regardless of the outcome of the game/match. Perhaps because they are a relatively new book, they don't have enough action for this to happen. But that's hardly your fault.

As has been said a few times already, the appropriate thing to do (if they wanted to discourage value betting while maintaining the integrity of their book) would be to pay out the winnings and then limit the amount you can bet next time, or even ban your account from making future bets. The winnings are relatively small, so the fact that they aren't paying them out isn't very confidence-inspiring.
