So this is the new scam? This is the 3rd I have heard of. Tazo stole millions did and never heard anything else about it
>>2921280
you almost hope its a scam because then it at least wouldn't be as stupid as losing $1.4 million of peoples money to copy paste
thats a lot to be sending at once. why didnt they send in parts? really makes you think
>>2921221
People are actually falling for this? The "wrong" address belongs to the devs. They're just using this as an excuse to back out of their obligations and run off with the money.
>>2921360
This, this so fucking hard that it makes my head hurt
Somebody check that address on the blockchain. If they are telling the truth that address should only have incoming transactions. It should be not owned in 99.99999999999999999% of the cases. As a developer myself this does seem like a fault some retarded pajeet could make. Since it looks valid but but is not because JavaScript rounds off large numbers like that. (It uses floating point) So if the address is in use they calculated it in front to what the mistake would result.

Just checked it, seems like they are telling the truth for now. 0 outgoing transactions. https://etherscan.io/address/0x03e4b00b607d0980668ca6e50201576b00000000#internaltx

Obviously they're going to wait a few months or even years before transferring out of it. It'd defeat the purpose of the lie if they immediately transferred money out of what is supposed to be a random nonsense address.
As far as the "it looks like it's truncated" part, there are tools for creating custom ETH addresses with your private key that match regex, it just takes forever depending on how specific you are. People use them to create retarded meme addresses, like with the custom 4chan ID tools.

>Tazo stole millions
Tazos? source
>>2921221
they got b00bed
We need to invent a new word for this wrongposting
I suggest:
>shitposting
>RSVPosting
>wrongaddressposting
in the 1/1,000,000,000 chance that could actually happen, staff only checked the first 4 characters to verify it?
total bullshit
This seems less of a scam and more of the devs being complete fucking morons who don't know how to even use Ethereum
>>2922524
Send me 5 eth as proof.

Can you transfer ETH to adresses that haven't been created yet?
And can those adresses still be generated (and thus "claimed")?
Honestly, I never even thought anybody would be this stupid.
>>2922733
>Can you transfer ETH to adresses that haven't been created yet?
Meant that as in "or are they sent into the nirvana"?
>>2922733
this is an invalid address like https://blockchain.info/address/1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE
>>2922742
Damn.
I guess people would have started generating adresses if it was a legit one.
