Bitcoin Forum

For me, I don't think so, it is like selling your soul

what account? This account or other account? Please be specific in your question TS

Nope well not unless it was a serious amount of BTCBTCBTC i pride myself on my account but as everyone knows i have a price for everything XD

Nope only if it were 100BTC :P

I wouldn't sell my account it's very hard and takes time to be sr.member(When activity updates next time I'll be sr.member). :)

1000BTC :D

Sure, i will be reasonable with the buyer and will quote a price of only 10 bitcoins.  :P

no,i will definitely not sell it...

1-2 bitcoin is not a bad price for my account I guess  :P

for 5 btcs at least..(even if it doesn't worth it)

Nah, it's not worth it. It have cost me a long time to reach nearly Sr Member status.

I sell mine for 1 btc  ;D

I think people are assuming he means their btctalk forum account.

When I first started on BCT I would've definitely answered "YES!!!!" If someone offered me money for my account but now that I see the hardwork and dedication that is put into building the trust and activity of a member on here, I don't think I could sell it because I've worked so hard just to become a JR. Member lol I am dreaming of one day becoming LEGENDARY or even a HERO member but I don't really understand how to get your activity level up or what affects it increasing.  But ya I don't think I would sell it though (not anytime soon) Plus I really love that I was able to get NoobKidOnTheBlock as my profile name and wouldn't wanna lose that because it's kinda my thing ya know lol NKOTB OUT!!! :p

If you are paying good enough, I'm ready to sell any acc on online earning :D

Read this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0
And this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495948.0

but basically you get 14 activity points per two week period. Takes about a year and a half to reach Hero status providing you make at least one post in all the two week periods.

I could retire on that quite comfortably.

Depends how old you are and how good you are with money  :D. even that amount of money could possibly not last that long if you've got no other income.

Just a question have people actually sold their accounts for money?

yes, 10 BTC :D

I'm not particularly arsed about this account. I would be arsed if I was using it for trading on here or building up a specific reputation, but all I use it for is nattering.

Having said that people do seem to be using more established accounts for scamming so I wouldn't sell it, even though mine doesn't have any rep to abuse.

Yes.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=812004.0

The Sr and Hero accounts can get good money for signature campaigns. There's also the angle of using a trusted account to scam if you're of an evil bent.

What a world we live in where people just wanna scam other people nonstop lol I never thought our world would come to the point where people sell their social media accounts so they can scam other people lol What a world we live in lol

Most people just buy accounts to use for signature campaigns to be honest, though occasionally they're used to try scam but luckily they usually get busted before they can. You can scam from any account though so I'd be very weary around here if you don't want to get scammed.

@gentlemand Yes, in the digital goods forum there are many threads of people selling accounts lol. But others will sometimes give you negative trust if they catch you selling your account.

There is another question I've always had was how does one obtain a trust rating in the positive? Like what do you need to do for people to give you that kind of trust rating?

^ I think you need to receive positive trust from someone who is on the default trust. I don't know if any other positive trust will do that.

Exactly this. You need to get feedbacks from the people on this list https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust

So that link has a list of users I have to earn trust with then? Or help them out with something so they see I'm a legit person not in this to scam or rip people off? I'm just so sick and tired of scammers and the bullshit that is allowed to occur with Crypto ya know what I mean :)

Na, I would not sell my account for $$$, but I might for BTCBTCBTC?

Well...
I'm not very famous around here, so losing this account wouldn't mean too much for me.
But I would sell at a ridiculous price to someone like a fanatic of Final Fantasy Tactics that likes this simple singing Dark Knight GIF and because of the age of my account and I'm almost a legendary.

I would rather have Dragon Warrior 4 in my NES playing right now for my account lol

If the buyer would pay a good amount of Btc with like four zeros

I'd be VERY surprised if anyone were to pay 1-2 BTC for a Jr. Newbie account haha

You are famous, at least to me :-)

im not at a crazy rank like some others, but evetually I wouldnt mind. If the price was right for BTC.

im pretty sure most would though.

I'm going to assume that you have a higher rank account, because selling a Newbie account would be quite simple.

What tends to be the going rate for selling accounts, does anyone know?

never, but it goes on all the time, i see it, and evidence of it,

nothing really the mods can do about it i guess,

I've been in talks on it... the account has a lot of *potential* value, but it's value I have to "co-produce" with, which I don't have enough time for, now, or seem to have enough focus for. Still, the worry's there that the account might be mis-used if sold, and I feel an obligation to ensure that doesn't happen. If I knew it wouldn't be mis-used, there wouldn't necessarily be a "finality" associated with it, if I could later buy it back if I wanted without the account being molested.

/start rant/
Nope. Never. And stop with the random emails about 'buying your account' too please. I've been getting offers on my account during my hiatus, and seriously I'm not even considering that for any amount of money. Especially when my real life ID, PGP, and personal dealings are tied to it.
/end rant/

Noooooope, somebody gets scammed by it and everybody comes after me

Nope, i don't believe i would for any reason at all.

it depends on the amount of bitcoin?  :P

Haha. Damn, someone could probably do some serious damage if they got your account. Did the people ever make any actual monetary offers? I imagine your account would be one of the most valuable here.

I don't remember exactly, but I remember getting 'partnership requests for profit' and off the table offers in the 50+BTC region. I would imagine scammers would be much interested in using my account as a ponzi front, and that's one of the reasons why I mentioned I would never ask to borrow BTC in any form. 

Yeah, I imagine they'd try take in investments somehow, though something tells me if you suddenly started up a ponzi you'd lose that lovely green feedback pretty fast so would probably be a waste of money for them  :D.

Nooo! My ponzi plans have been foiled! :P

All the lowly accounts in here that say they will never sell it, that's just bullshit. I'm willing to bet that if those guys get offered a small amount of cash or BTC, it'll get sold pretty quickly.

As for my account, it'll actually never be sold (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=828799.0), not because how long it took to build it up, but because that's just scummy activity. I believe this forum is the only one that openly allows this kind of stuff.

I have no idea what the going rate is, but I'd sell mine ('as is') in a heartbeat if someone offered me 0.1BTC/activity point. (Presently, that's just shy of 20BTC.)

I can sell accounts same as yours with half of your price :]]

this account is the only job I have right now. So wouldn't even think of it.

Do you really think you could even get THAT much for it? Good luck! I'd be surprised if you could even get 0.1BTC.

No I would never sell my account, I don't think it should be allowed either.

Hmm maybe, if there's someone who offers hundreds of BTC, then I'll happily selling it :D
Seriously, no, because this I use this username on every website. It's like my identity on Internet world

Hmmm...for some decent offer...who knows.. ;D

I think so too, but there is no way to prevent it. : /
If they aren't sold here, they will be somewhere else. Like this, at least it's done in the open, and everyone knows about it.

Money talks.  Sure....why not.

I cant sell it, its my favorite nick

Problem is that account creation and selling are what some people do for a living. Not only on this forum, on lots of others too. I firmly believe that the only reason someone will pay good money for an established account is to try and scam someone for more than they paid for the account. I don't believe the rubbish that account sellers bang on about people buying established accounts so they get accepted for signature campaigns, what a load of old bollocks.

Nope , I will never sell my account  ::) ...

Yes, a senior member account will get you into almost all campaigns, and receiving the maximum. More than that or accounts with trust are more likely to be used to try and scam people. : /
But while there is the incentive to do it and no easy way to stop it, it's at least good that everyone knows that it happens and that they should be careful even with older users.

I would sell it for the right price, couple of bitcoins would do I guess :)

yeah 5btc and you can have it. :)

I agree people are much more aware of it now and unless a user is active and well known then the use of escrow is a must with any buying or selling. I really don't believe anyone would buy an account with the intention of simply using it for signature campaigns, it just doesn't add up. For me the only reason people buy an account with status is with the intention of ripping someone off later.

i am serious if someone offer 10 btc i will  ;D

Or, as a status symbol. That said, I'll sell the Phinnaeus Gage (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24792) account, currently being used as collateral, for only 20BTC. It's the only Legendary account available on all of Bitcoinland. For only 30BTC, I'll throw in this account and all my others (~6 total) with the exception of CoinProLite that would only be used for its intended purpose not to be posting outside its dedicated threads, and Bitcoin 100, of which would be handed over to Rassah.

On top of that, I promise to not create any new accounts with the exception of one - <redacted for now, but would be disclosed> - that'll be CoinProLite, et al., related, again not posting outside dedicated threads in appropriate sections.

PM me (this account) if you're seriously interested.

~Bruno Kucinskas

What do you mean it's the only Legendary account? The only one for sale? What deal did you use your account as collateral for and when do you get it back?

i would like to sell for BTCBTCBTCBTC and you selling what/

It's the only Legendary account on this forum that's for sale, I believe, for I've seen no others. Besides, Phinnaeus Gage has the highest post count. (EDIT: Just seen why you asked about the Legendary aspect, for my wording was slightly skewed)

BurtW has control of it, used as collateral for a loan, owing him $1,600 still. He would be ideal to use as escrow, whereupon I would be remitted the balance. I see no reason why the complete handover can't be accomplished with 24 hours, only predicated on BurtW being available, of which I have his phone number to call him if he hasn't been active of late. Rassah or Theymos would work as well for escrow.

There have been one or two Legendary's for sale but it's always hard to know whether they're legit sales or scammers. I think you could probably get a few btc for it given the account and feedback, but I wouldn't condone it. Why did you need that money anyway? Thought you had plenty of btc?

Sounds intetesting, but I still doubt if people will buy it with this amount of bitcoin.

Let's see how it's going on. Good luck.  ;)

by selling an account you throw to the drain your unique user name, unless it's a random one and you don't care. i'm amorphia everywhere......boooya

nope, i will not sell my account. it's really valuable to me :p

I am fairly certain that gage is not the only legendary account that is for sale. At least not as of this Tuesday ;)

I still can't see myself selling my account not with all the trouble I have put into it to build the credibility amongst the community :) I one day want NoobKidOnTheBlock to achieve Legendary Status!! That's my goal anyways lol

the money isn't everything

Sell a bitcoin talk acount, is a bad idea because, if you need the monwy, you can join to one signature, and that way make some btc.

For $$$ surely not...  :)

I would rather use my account to sell something. ::)

Only if I was in serious debt.

1 Btc for my newbie account sureeeee, i will sel it :D

Why not?

I can create another newbie account for free, or buy another for cheap

No thanks

If you can find someone that would buy a newbie account for 1 BTC, I'd be a billionaire. It's still basically selling a good, although I don't see why some people would necessarily want an account that's got a reputable status, aside from being able to enroll in higher-paying signature campaigns

i dont see accs go for much anymore these days, i see even hero accounts for less than 0.5btc so i dont think it's worth it. it's too much of a hassle for me to make a new acc and go through all the newbie restrictions just for some small amount of btc.

People who have any sort of reputation on their accounts shouldn't sell it. Probably 99% of the time it's going to go to scamming another person

what price, for example, for a Member account today ?

someone, actually buys the accounts ?  :o

Yes, you can go to digital goods in the marketplace to buy and sell accounts. But I don't know if you will get a lot for a member account.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=93.0

Yes.

But only after PD relaunching its campaigns, cuz we going to see inflation in the account market

Was PrimeDice's sig campaign the highest paying one? How much do you think you'd be able to sell your account for?

What was the price? My account is priceless ;)

Selling my account for the half of priceless.  :P

don't sell yourself short ;D your account is (FULL) priceless too

As I heard somewhere sometime, everything has a price. The only difference is what that price is.  ;)

For half of a BTC or so, definitely.

I wouldn't.

My account is my property, and is a representation of my professional standing, as I do freelance.

What would be a good price?

True

No

I would only sell for BTC, since $ would make easy link my account to myself

I will, if someone agreed to pay me 1 BTC every month.

patt0,     
thanks for the link

Are you planning on buying an account?

Man, people sell accounts way cheaper than what you are discussing. I don't see the point in buying one.

Just let them keep dreaming ^^

The point of buying one, as I've yet to see another good reason, is to sign up for signature campaigns that pay quite handsomely!

Get it while it's hot  ;D ;D ;D

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=877187.msg9687473#msg9687473

I am not a seller please dont PM your offers

Nah, I'd rather hold onto my account. I see personal value in it.

sure why not..how much you offering?

OP was an entirely hypothetical question. Again, if someone finds someone that's willing buy Newbie accounts, connect me with that person. l0l

no way whatever happened.

Why? Get yourself up to a decent rank such as Senior and it may be possible to earn that per month from a decent campaign like PrimeDice when it returns. There was a time when people were earning 2.4 bitcoins a month which is crazy.

How exactly does one raise their rankings up to Senior and so forth? is it the amount of times you post or the different topics you post in? Does anyone know this exactly?

Would you sell your account for $$$?

Nope.

Your activity goes up by 14 points every two weeks or so. You don't have to post like crazy to raise it, just be present and patient and it'll get there in the end.

I see no point of selling it, what do you get in return? (name recognition?) what else

no

Is someone buying?

check digital goods section.


At least people are selling

Many people buy accounts with higher rank to participate in the signature campaigns and get more bitcoins. I think that is the most common reason for selling accounts.
Some others buy them to use in scams later. : /

Everyone has a price but I wouldn't bother since I truly like this forum.

maybe 4 years ago.
