Bitcoin Forum

Title says it all... I guess it is a form of gambling but it should be subed sucks picking through 100 ponzi's that pop up everyday.

There's been a few threads on creating a subsection https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=494662.0

I completely agree with this and posted a thread regarding this.

The admin and staff feel as if ponzi is a legitimate gamble and is not different from traditional casino games or poker. Hey, they are apparently the gambling experts. Not me the degenerate that spends 18 hour shifts at the casino.

I agree, it is getting ridiculous at this point. Wouldn't be surprised if all of them were made by the same person.

The (small) group running all the Ponzis don't want to have their schemes in a deeper subforum. And they pay a bunch of money to the forum to advertise their Ponzis. So I doubt this will happen.

1)  Idiocracy has come true.  Many idiot humans can't wait to be 15th in line to the next Ponzi.

2)  Because Bitcointalk has allowed them to over-run one of the most viewed, one of the fastest-growing areas within bitcointalk the following things have occurred in the past weeks:
2a)  Many, many cheap, re-used code sites are popping up daily still.  Who knows how may kid-shit new operators are now encouraged to try and scam some dust
2b)  The massive fragmentation now means that the /Gambling page is cluttered with low-rent ponzi scam sites.  This is an effective marketing tool
2c)  the fragmentation follows the "one site per thread" rule
2d)  many ponzis have failed (Because they are ponzis, and they all fail rather quickly) leaving a trail of tears in marketplace/gambling

3)  this makes bitcointalk much less readable, less valuable, and directs more newb. coins towards scams.  If they are so stupid as to keep sending money to ponzis, why not send the donk-coins to legitimate sites to strengthen them?

I couldn't agree more that Ponzi's should either be banned or send to some other section,The first page has like %70-%90 ponzi and only 2-3 gambling sites. Giveaways were less irritating and even pay people and these are free spams.

I agree, it's exceeds the "annoying" at this point, these should go to HYIP section in lending rather than gambling.

Yes !

We need a subforum in gambling such that gambling becomes a better less spammy place -.-

Used to be a ton of legitimate participation in the gambling section and a lot of very good promotions being run by legitimate gambling sites.

The ponzis are ruining the gambling section. I'm guessing 99% of the users in the gambling section want to ponzies gone.

The problem, IMO, is the amount of amateur attempts which are quite blatantly scams. So obvious, one user forgot to switch accounts before writing a "yeah, this is awesome" kind of post lol. This is the sort of thing which should be stamped out.

And the threads, from a brand new account, with no transactions associated to their advertised address labeling their game as "trusted" or in some cases..."truster".

Hehe maybe not all of them by the same person but it is like each owner has got few ponzis for sure :P
There should be some "sub channel" for ponzi but as we know we talked about it few times and nothing has changes till now.

Kind regards.

ponzi are kind of gambling or i would say even worst then it, cuz gambling atleast pay off well sometimes you will not always in loss  but ponzi never so the best place for ponzi is the gambling section.Also there are 3-4 very good forums only dedicated to ponzi/hyip so you can check them out as well is you are into ponzi OP !!!!  :)

Push them into "Games and Rounds" Easy solution.
