Hello!
I come with a request: I vividly remember a 2013 post from Maxwell on bitcoin talk, in which he has shared support for increasing the block size. I may have the year wrong, but I think it was dated as 2013. I'd appreciate a link, preferably archived, and not a screenshot if anyone remembers it and knows the source.
Thanks in advance!

So I feel terrible because I just got scammed $200 from a Bitcoin scam. I never post on reddit but I felt like I should this time just in case it stops anyone else falling for this trick. I'll post all the screen shots as well just so it's easier to understand. Basically a guy called 'Bitmex Lightning Signals on Instagram 'who had hundreds of followers btw' had a free telegram signals channel which I joined, the last message in the channel was a post about advertising for 3 jobs that he had available. He basically just wanted people to help out his channel and answer questions that people may have he said he would pay $850 a week. Now I can't believe I fell for this but being a uni student and being pretty broke I thought wow what an opportunity, I get to work in crypto and get paid a really good salary for it. He seemed very legit he had posts going back a good few weeks. So I messaged him said I was interested an replied saying great I'll start you off with a weeks trial and see how you get on. However this is the scammy bit he said in order to join and get the links for everything I would have to join his VIP service which is 0.005 BTC. So foolishly I agree and sent 0.00577 BTC to him for the amount plus the fees. Again he seemed very legit he was asking me how I want to be paid and if I knew about erp systems and what my Instagram name was. But as soon as the BTC went through he blocked me on everything and has yet to reply to me. I know this wasn't a load of money and I bet some of you make this of 1 trade but it's a lot of money to me and I feel terrible that this guy managed to scam me. If anyone has seen this guy before let me know I wish I had screenshotted his insta page and his telegram group so I could show you all. Be careful out there guys I didn't think I'd ever fall for something like this but here I am. [link] [comments] |
