Hello

The new market is nearly ready for launch, but before we go live, we need beta testers to make a few 'dummy' transactions.

I am sending this PM to a total of 50 forum members to keep things controlled. Any of you who want to take part, please continue reading the instructions below. Anybody who does not reply withing the next 4 hours however, will have their opportunity passed onto another member (we need 50 in total).

There is a separate testing process for buyer accounts and seller accounts, so if you're interested, skip to whichever applies to you below:

BUYER ACCOUNTS

1. Please send me a PM with the subject 'Buyer: Beta Test Accepted'
2. In the body, please include the username you would like to use (please do not give us a password - you will be asked to enter this when you login to the test area for the first time)
3. Please send 0.25 btc to the following address: [REDACTED]
*Please be aware: You will be testing a DUMMY site, but we need to make sure the escrow code is all working properly - once the real market is launched, we will credit 0.5 btc to your real account as a way of saying thank you for your help*

VENDOR ACCOUNTS

1. Please send me a PM with the subject 'Vendor: Beta Test Accepted'
2. In the body, please include the username you would like to use (please do not give us a password - you will be asked to enter this when you login to the test area for the first time)
3. If you are already verified as a vendor and have access to the round table, there is no need to send any bitcoins - your dummy account will be set up immediately
4. If you are not verified as a vendor, you must send 2 btc to the following address: [REDACTED]
*Please note: Although your vendor account will be on a dummy marketplace, once the real marketplace is launched, you will be given a vendor account without needing to pay any extra - it's our way of saying thank you for participating in the beta

If you have any questions, please send them to Cirrus or SSBD. Please only reply to me to accept or reject the invitation.

Thanks for your patience during the new market's development, and I'm pleased to say that with your help, it will very soon be ready for launch.

Remember Remember...

I hate scam.

But... who the fuck would really transfer 2 bitcoins just because of that message? Are some people really dumb enough to do that?

User has been deleted, thank you for the reports. I have added further filters and measures to reduce the spam and also restricted users registering a similar name to my own. If you receive any more please report them as I will see those sooner than a forum post and if you post the message in public please redact the bitcoin address as I have done.

I hate puking. My two young young children always argue over who gets the big pieces.
