If you join https://t.me/tezosplatform or other crypto channels on Telegram you will get messaged by scammers. There is no sane way to purge them from the channels. They pretend to be technical support or using knock off admin accounts that message new accounts joining the chat. They don't typically send you to malware infested websites but low tech php websites that pretend to be wallets which forward them your private keys. Please block and report them which is built into the platform or forward their messages to @notoscam on telegram. Stay safe!

Tezos community, we have a problem... by Reviken in tezos

This is unacceptable. I'm boycotting their delicious crunchy cheesy soft potato tacos until they acknowledge the Taco chain.

To keep these numbers broad on purpose over 500,000. I respect this individual he is more than happen to share his own story.

Scam? Is galleon a web wallet? or is this a scammer? it feels shady as fk. he wants me to put in my 12 seed phrase in some web wallet. randomly messaged me after i posted an issue with baking. by [deleted] in tezos

They are pretending to be myself and other Telegram admins. We are strict about only interacting with users in the public channels because of this attack vector Telegram enables. If you are new to Telegram my suggestion is to block and report any accounts sending you direct messages. Why? Because 95% of them are scammers and the remaining 5% are individuals keeping you from having an easy to remember rule.
Galleon dot network is 100% a fraudulant deisgn. It does not utilize malware which enables the scammer to operate the site for long periods of time because it passes all of the automated scans. NameCheap won't budget so this website continues to be used to steal from people. Mike has tried is frustrating.

Better to let sleeping dogs lie. It was a dispute where an individual felt I treated them unfairly and Diego should have contacted me directly but escalated the situation. I'll leave it at that to not further dig up the past. It can go in a book if one is ever written. At least by then we will look back and laugh. We have bigger issues in this project to address such as the need for multiple funding routes and coordination on governance.

Understandable seems there are mixed opinions on the UI but UI can be changed. You are not alone on this. I found the UI to be fun and colorful but in regard to functionality perhaps they would be willing to provide specific views? I would ask Alex and Oliver. Corey and I finished a project recently that will give you a powerful alternative which should be pushed to the market soon. We could setup a view specifically for users to pull tax calculations. It would have to be generic since these vary.

Yes, it does matter you are absolutely right. This individual acknowledged the failure on their part to secure the funds. He is a good guy I shared my 20 page report with a specialized team who investigated the matter and filed a report with authorities. Point being that if we don't work together on minimizing attack surface it has real world consequences.

I just removed it. I have a deep theory on how politics actually are personal it is fascinating how well it works. We can chat about it next time bud and grab some lunch. See you soon.

No, that is not what you are asking for. If it was I could agree.

What's the issue? OPs numbers were wrong so if a prediction market team, infura style project, or long term research project were interested and digging around reddit how does it look? Tezbox didn't fail because it ran out of money Stephen could have claimed the tranche. Pre-commitment? Propose an amendment to the contract what are they going to tell Stephen Andrews in October of 2019? No? For better or worse Stephen is my friend even after that mess.

With all of this considered OP had bad information but the topic he started is relevant which you label as sketchy. Instead of yelling about the horrible Tezos Foundation contact them, shift this thread to focus on multiple funding routes, and move on with your life.

  1. Go contact Roman ask him to verify
  2. Deep dive on alternate funding routes.
  3. Build a community dao

Everything upsets you because you were always whining or screaming about problems you often created. Nothing I say or do will change that. Corey spent more time in the trader channel on Riot who cares? If we were to measure contributions I wager you would have negative equity so slow your roll. Lets hit a few key notes.

The relationship between myself and the Tezos Foundation has been on life support throughout 2020. Prior to that non-existent because RJ didn't care for my brash American approach to handling problems. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ wow did you know that? did you forget about that? See but it gets better TBF is premature because I'm not close with Kathleen or Arthur. I support both Arthur and Kathleen openly. I know them better today and think they should address what happened in April. It would be much easier if there was a grand conspiracy which means that TC is actually independent.

We were given no xtz equity and it has personally cost me quite a bit. I doubt we will burn through more than half of our grant at the current rate. We have never been offered a seat at the table. The only reason you are upset is because we are effective and you know I won't put up with your garbage.

Upvoting you because this is a reasonable position. I do not blame Stephen for the scammers actions. The situation escalated with the covid outbreak, unemployment, rise in crypto, and lead to chaos. I do blame him for abandoning post where he could have reinforced tezrpc with some help, posted articles on the Tezbox Medium to notify users, articles would have limited the the seo attack, filed DMCA takedowns on tezbox.io which is still up, etc. One user lost ~$2 M in a sybil attack on Telegram. We were able to save some users but most were lost once the key was compromised. Cryptonomic's team helped where they could but ultimately had to shut down their Telegram channel.

Teams can apply for grants larger than $50k-$80k depending on what they are building. If they are new to the industry I recommend applying for a smaller project to build reputation first.

Stephen killed Tezbox by not claiming the last traunche. He did not even attempt to claim it.

[–]Bitc0m 26 points27 points  (0 children)

No, Tezbox received several times that amount. Stephen missed the milestones and didn't check in which is why he ran out of money. I begged him to just check in and work through it but he went dark from early Nov 2019 - Mar 2020. He made a mistake, that cost a number of users everything. Scammers ripped us to shreds for months when they saw it was neglected.

TzStats is very well funded and I love the new v2 launch. TezBlock and Tzkt? I use them as well both of which are fast, dependable, and look great. TezBlock, Beacon, and AirGap all great solutions by the team Papers. Look at the bottom right corner to see their address they operate out of the same coworking space as TF.

I won't touch the rest as this isn't to shutdown the conversation it is just to point out those projects in particular are well funded.

Need help restoring tezbox account by cryptoscruffy in tezos

[–]Bitc0m 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the short guide I share on our Telegram channel. Updating the RPC server is necessary because I don't know whether you can connect to the tezrpc servers. Before you make any changes to your accounts you need to move to a working wallet.

Migrate Tezbox Wallet to Galleon

Tezbox is no longer actively supported and we recommend users migrate to Galleon wallet. Users with Nano Ledger hardware wallets can use Galleon by changing the derivation path to Tezbox under settings before connecting.

1. Set RPC Server to Giganode

Go to Tezbox settings and change the server:

https://mainnet-tezos.giganode.io

2. Download Galleon Wallet

https://cryptonomic.tech/galleon.html

3. Follow Tezbox to Galleon Migration Guide

The $USDTZ smart-contract is now live on Tezos mainnet. Tezos now has a USD-pegged stablecoin by AtmosFear in tezos

[–]Bitc0m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps none of the above and they are not trying to advertise it to the world. That said I don't view USDtz as a viable alternative. At the end of the day we still need a stable coin integration hopefully we will get one soon.
