scam right

fuck i'm such an idiot

>>21732369
Was fortunate my initial investment came from the XLM dump several months ago.

>>21732344
>Got in the server knowing i could buy without too much fees directly from them
>3 or 4 "tranq troopers" pounce on me
>Actually buy for 1eth directly
>brainlet

damn TRANQ seemed so legit. didn't they have a product in use already?

>>21732423
From what I can tell, some of them didn't know what was up and some of them did.

i-it's stil g-getting listed on idex r-right anons?

>>21732344
Was your discord name perhaps lolwut?

>>21732463
No clue desu. The website looks legit enough, but you never know with presumably Indians.

>>21732493
Doubt it.

>>21732513
No.

>>21732344
What the fuck I got scammed by this motherfucker. How can I get a refund through bamboo relay?

>>21732344
>Got in 3 says ago with the "buy 5k, get 100k free" offer
>immediately sold my free 100k to other morons in the discord buy undercutting OP
>sales picked up when OP raised the buy in to 50k
Made about 1 eth profit and received a sad insight into the gullibility of /biz/

>>21732553
>refund
>on crypto
You can't. You'd just have to have been lucky enough to come out of it either even or at a profit. Would have actually made money had the gas fees from Bamboo not sucked away a good amount of my ETH with each transaction.

>>21732661
wtf I hate crypto now

can we "visit" the owner in minecraft with a few darkie friends?

>>21732773
>associating with ngubus
Shame, at least use Italians instead

>>21732546
See you soon <3

>>21732513

lolwut seemed like a genuine person. We were actually having a good conversation. I'm so confused.

I brought from lolwut, and looking at the convo history his username changed to "no u"

>>21732344
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAA!!!!!

>>21732344
I know you were in on it Jew. Don’t try to position yourself as a victim like always.

>>21733031
Didn't add anyone as friends on Discord except Tranquility. He blocked me after this shitshow ended. I'm guessing the tranq troopers were a mix of pisssed that they'd been shilling for a scam, or were in on it. No clue who was what.

>>21732344
IF YOU RETARDS WOULD HAVE DONE ANY RESEARCH AT ALL YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT THE TOKENS ORIGINATED FROM AN ADDRESS FOR ANOTHER UNRELATED PAJEET COIN

>>21733158
>"why yes goy, of course the jews did this instead of just fucking around with international banking"
Very disappointed

>>21732344
I actually paid fucking $2k for the 10k Tranq the evening it got listed on Bamboo..

https://etherscan.io/address/0x5d48b8b71e34e7f89438c71841c9cface8c8ebcd#tokentxns

I figured this could be it /biz/bro's , my frickin x10 i'm absolutely out of it right now..

Then all of the sudden the discord got set up and this anon said he'd actually make it work for all of us, upon showing him proof i purchased 10k the night before he sent me 200k Tranq and for a moment i thought i'd be able to make back my loss, but now even that is gone..

Feel like an absolute and utter moron for buying into this, it was all too good to be true and yet none of it really added up, i read all the articles, the whitepaper, the entire website and it all just seemed like a thought out project, even that the people investing would need to turn in a letter of motivation had me thinking that this would mean the community would be well on it, in terms of making the project work, yet the lack of an initial telegram and the needing of 10k tranq ( $2k) investment to be considered for the ITHA group ( entry to the telegram ), should've been the red flag..

I wish i could turn back time to that evening bro's .. absolutely got done on this one

>>21733259
Shit, man. Sorry to hear. Coins are always a "win some lose some" thing. Was my first time doing anything with a coin on /biz/, so was lucky to come away with what I had. Not sure if I'll tinker with coins here anymore after this.

>>21733259
a
At least you only bought from bamboorelay and not the pajeet "team."

>>21733308

That is the sad thing about this, the lose of belief in the coins. I could of made gains and then pumped other projects and kept compunding.

>>21733031
There was one guy Reee was almost convinced it was a scam, but couldn't quite bring himself. There was also Unwieldy Bob who figured it out early and explained how the scam was going to work and bailed early.

>>21733308
>>21733358

Yeah been an absolute shit-show of a couple of days for me really, wouldn't let the story of mine dissuade you from doin research on /biz/ for proper coins tho.. there are some gems floating around here every once so often, and it is the forum where you can backtrack older threads of projects ( and when you read between the lines ) get the nitty gritty opinions of people regarding it.

This was just an absolute failure on my part

>>21733417
I wonder how "in on it" they were? I'm just so confused!

>>21733358
desu Bamboo was much worse. I actually bought straight from Tranquility because my attempt to buy from Bamboo cost me gas fees and I got nothing.from Bamboo out of it. At least from Tranquility I got the coin I paid for without paying gas on top of it.

>>21733470
Who were you on the Discord?

>>21733529
There presumably were a couple who were, but the gist I got was that most of the people who were getting the dumps to them as "troopers" were people who really wanted to get in on the coin.

>>21732344
Fucking warned you for like a week about the posting pattern, its was pretty weak pajeet bait.

Never fall for shills that:
1.) Use constant pepe memes
2.) The thread immediatly gets "I bought 300k" "based" and more pepe pics under different IDs in less than 30 minutes
3.) Believe that spending 1 whole ethereum as minimum funding price for airdropped tokens is legit.

You deserved to get scammed.

can someone run me down on what happened?

>>21733529
I was unwieldy bob and I wasn't in on it at all. I was the one shitting on OP by explaining his Nigerian email hoax style scheme in the later /biz/ threads.
It just occurred to me early on that there was zero reason for OP to require us to "show proof" of ownership of tranqies. And he kept raising the requirement.

>>21733608
foforest, only had a brief conversation with the Tranquility guy at start for what the plan was and that i paid the full amount for 10k Tranq and there-after was mostly lurking and waiting for the plan and what part i could take in it tho.

Dont feel so bad man, we all failed, except those pussies. however, they pulled so quickly, kinda makes me wonder wtf was this for. im sure they barely made first class ticket money.

>>21733259
This is why I lurk and wait for a while. An still get in early and 100x so you'd be doing better than 99% boomer stocks

>>21732344
I'm sorry I couldn't help any of you guys that fell for it. I nearly fell for it, but fortunately, bamboo relay was bugging out the night I went to get it. After doing more research, I realized very quickly that this project was a scam. I dropped into the discord server trying to drop subtle hints about the legitimacy of the project. I was banned several times as I brought up completely reasonable points.

I'm new to crypto. After I realized I had some very serious questions about it, I've realized some new patterns I will go through

1) When doing research on a product or shit coin, research competitors. My research on the "competitors" to the proposed product made me realize that there was no reason such a project needed to be in block chain. So yes, DYOR.

2) Dig into the source code of a website. If you know HTML programming at all, their website should have raised some red flags.

This project, while I didn't lose money on it, was enough to turn me off alt-coin crypto exchanges. The only crypto I'm invested into now that's not on cuckbase is PNK. I don't know if it's a scam or not, but the insane amount of paper trail leads me to believe it it's not

>>21733799
What were your numbers? Will add you.

warned you fuckers this would get rugged before the fake ico was over

you all deserve it anyway for attempting to dump on other people

Sure thing man! But i don't have any info regarding the fella, was not part of the initial group,

>>21733738
TRANQ was purported to be a token used in hotel audits. Back in late July, they began posting about it here. It seemed like a solid investment because it was a real world application of smart contracts, something that is desperately missing from the smart contract ecosystem. They were lsited on Bamboorelay. I don't know what happened in the last 6 hours or so, but they started a discord server, and it became really obvious it was a scam.

I now have 51.49998325 TRANQ which is technically worth $0.0821.

They pulled the plug already? There was still room to grow imo

>>21733838
You know you made me realize something, if I lost my money but some other real anon caught on to the scam and pulled out of the scam I am glad then

>>21734046
I posted in every thread I saw that this was going to happen, that it was an outright scam and admitted as such by the pieces of shit running the show, and I was repeatedly told to go fuck myself. Anyone who bought into this did so with the intention of dumping scam tokens on unsuspecting buyers. You all got what you deserved.

>>21732463
No. IT was actually another Property Management system in the pictures they took.

How much did the scammers run away with?

>>21733957
Go to warosu and search tranq. If that doesn't tell you everything you needed to know about whether or not this was a total scam from the very beginning, I'm not joking when I say that you should stay far, far away from 4chan going forward. This was as obvious as could be.

I got 150k on day one for .1 eth. I then sold a fraction for half that and was also there for the 400k dump. I couldnt believe the amount of people spending what they were on this.. It became obvious to me after people were paying 1.2 eth for the same I paid .1 for. Was good time I had fun

>>21734223
are you the other anon who investigated it with me before they changed the angle to being an insider pnd?

Warning to 4chan /biz/ users and browsers do not buy the TRANQ scam coin they will take your money and delete the discord

I pmed a guy talking about oracles and asking all the right questions and he helped me not feel fucjing crazy that it wasn’t a scam.
Thanks joe pedo senpai
I owe ya .75 eth worth of hugs no homo

>>21734334
Schizoposter, take your meds.

>>21735098
YOU will not have any more of my money I have warned 4chan /biz/ browsers about the TRANQ scam coin I have already been punished now YOU will be punished. Do not buy this coin

>>21734278
yeah, actually, when i started having suspcions, I did a full search of /biz/ archive and i found that website. What hacks.

>>21734466
hey man, joepedo here.

Lots of love.

>>21735373
Bro I got fucked on this too. Not even Tranquility you mongoloid, so go direct your schizophrenic reposts at the actual person who did this

>>21735098
Everyone will know about the TRANQ scam coin its value is ZERO it will not be listed it will not be pumped they will delete the discord server and run away with your money

>>21735477
What was your name on Discord? Want to add you.

>>21735506
The Discord was already deleted, are you fucking retarded

>>21735568
just sent a friend request to you, no homo :)

>>21733957
So they set up a page and wrote a whitepaper just to pull out after a few hours
Top kek. One of the more clever ruses on /biz/

it makes no sense...

personally, I think someone screwed the pooch and we all got lucky the scam was over so quickly.

Anyone who paid for this extremely obvious scam is unironically retarded with the lowest IQ. Kys, you'll never make it in life.

>>21735691
haven't got it, think you sent it to the wrong person. What's your Discord name? Will send you a friend request myself.

>>21733957
im new to web dev, could you explain the red flags of the html?

>>21735886
sorry bro, I didn't send it to the wrong person. Go KYS

>>21736238
I don't have a friend request pending. also not cool. I almost got fucked on this too
