Guys please, just give him a list of Signature Campaigns  Cheesy
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0
Thx me later Wink

That list is good but I think it's not completely up to date.  And with being newbie it will limit it quite a bit.

How is it not up to date? What's missing? There might be some small updates needed or a campaign or two missing but its the best source to find a campaign by far and is usually updated very regularly.

They just can't stop thinking of new ways to drain our pockets. Electric cars are still expensive and the government wants to tax these people, who choose to pay more for a car that doesn't pollute the environment. Great idea! Let's tax people who go green and then spend money on air filters, recycling and global warming campaigns.

Yeah I find this whole thing pretty funny and now they're panicking where to get the extra money from but people are still paying huge premiums on their electricity so they're still getting their tax money from that. If they start taxing electric cars like this then it might not be worth it for the owners so they'll just go back to petrol powered cars.

What made it go up 100x before? I think the only way we'll see that sort of rush or increase is if something massive happens like a huge corporation or ginormous industry gets involved. Remittance, gambling, sex/adult/porn, and oil are all massive industries that could get on board.

Yes 8 people appeared in court today for conspiracy to burgle. 1 has been bailed and another arrested today. Apparently they recovered a bag containing 'many high value items' they believe are from the vault. Looks like their balls were bigger than their brains...

This is something I'll never understand. It's like the Ross Ulbrict situation. They have the intelligence and tact to pull off massive jobs but then go and do foolish things that unravel their entire criminal enterprise. Even I know to not keep the goods at your own property. They should have taken them and themselves out of the country immediately. Most experts believed they would have done so. All that work just to end up in prison for a decade most likely.

0.5 bitcoin at the current price is nowhere near good enough for a hero member account.
The man hours & time put into becoming a hero member should be worth at least 1 bitcoin imo.
It's taken me 8 months to become a senior member so presumably it takes 16 months to become a hero member, 0.5 bitcoin is nowhere near enough.

I agree with you that they should be worth much more but they're only worth what people are willing to pay for them and if people are willing to sell them cheap then it just pushes the price down of them all.

It depends on the demand. The truth is, most people just want to join a high paying signature campaign or just to look good. You can have several accounts and hero members can be farmed fairly easily. Most hero members has spammy posts thus the price would be lower. There are little difference in signature campaign's pay for hero member and sr member so I presume most would purchase Sr members.

Hero member accounts can't really be farmed easy. They take a year and half to achieve and that's if they don't get banned. There's no way it would be worth farming a hero account from today to only make half a bitcoin. They might be worth much less or even worthless in a year and half time especially if signature campaigns were banned.

IMO, it shouldn't be. happy hour is for the active players and not for those who only play when there is something like it. If users are active, they will definitely dont miss the happy hour Smiley

Happy hours should announce before hand because it is not limited to only regular players on PrimeDice. In fact it should be announce like at least 24 hours before it so that people could know and follow this event but it seems that this event isnt regular yet. This could be considered as a good advertisement for PrimeDice since people are usually attracted to a site with high faucet amount.

agreed with you Happy hour missing promotion like luckybit, it should be announced at the bitcointalk forum to let know the members about it because majority of members not follow the twitter or facebook.
100 percent disagree
the point of happy hour is its random and can happen at any time. It promotes people to be active in chat. If it is mass advertised it will just cause tons of alts to abuse

If you think working people will sit in chat to abuse this while it lasts is pretty much farfetched to me.

I think you'd be surprised. Some sadacts already spend their entire waking life in that chatbox so it wouldn't surprise me if some have an army of alts they can abuse. From past happyhours stunna has said they were getting abused and the faucet was already getting botted quite badly.

It depends on supply & demand, i remember the price around :
Jr. Member : 0.003BTC - 0.005BTC
Member : 0.01BTC - 0.05BTC
Full Member : 0.1 - 0.25BTC
Senior Member : 0.3BTC - 0.5BTC
Hero Member : 0.7BTC - 2BTC

The results from few thread in this forum Roll Eyes

These prices seem a little off from what I gather from recent threads of people trying to sell their accounts. Seniors seem to be struggling to get 0.3 and heroes seem to be going for around 0.5. I'm sure if you've got a quality account with good posts and history you can get a little more though.

i hate when champions league final would be Barcelona Vs Real madrid
i want porto to win champions league this season but muenchen suck in their home

Why? they are probably the two best teams in the world with top class people and considering barca havent got to the semis in 4-5 years its not like its the same thing over and over.

Well I would have preferred to see two other teams in the final. We get to see those two play each other twice in the La Liga so it's not that exciting.
110  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why adoption is the most important thing right now, learn from early PayPal days on: May 13, 2015, 01:24:29 PM
Well I think it's a given that adoption is going to be the key to bitcoin's success but it's not like everyone who is passionate about bitcoin isn't constantly trying to spread awareness and adoption. I also don't think the regulatory authorities will leave us alone so as long as we have x amount of users or businesses. I think they're always going to be paranoid or fearful of bitcoin being used for criminal elements but hopefully they can see the other benefits of not stifling the technology with rules and regs.

With LVG you never know what will happen. It's insanely odd that he said yes to get Di Maria over to England and now he suddenly don't even use him in his first eleven.

Bayern Munich without Robben, Ribery, Lewandowski is not the same. I fear Bayern will get their ass whooped tomorrow.

Funny how people were calling for Van Gall to be sacked earlier in the season. Turned out he didn't do too bad in the end. I'm sure he'll do even better next season. I think Barca will comfortably win over Bayern but only because they've got so many injuries. If they had their full team it'd would be very close but I'd say Bayern would be the stronger team.

A group of transnational heroin traffickers affiliated with various governments.

Well that's a new one I've not heard before. I think the price rise of heroin was just a byproduct of war rather than a conspiracy by the dealers to be honest.

And where's the Illuminati option?

Honestly though, I have absolutely no idea who was ultimately behind 9/11 or if the USG knew about it and let it happen, but I'm skeptical Bin Laden had anything to do with it. He was just a convenient patsy.

Why would anyone vote for this guy? He's no different to any of the other candidates and if he got in (which he wont) he'd just behave the same as exactly any of the other Presidents that came before him or the one that will win the election (likely Billary).

Police are out of control in the states. Why did they even need to tase him when he's on the ground and seemingly complying? Does anyone know what gun and taser the police carry or have pictures of them? I want to see if they're the same shape or whatever because I don't understand how you could get them confused.

Is this story legit? How is it even possible for a 9-year-old to get pregnant.

Another noble deed in the name of the God by the religion of Peace.

Hope they burn in hell, these monsters.

(Where's Ironman when you need him the most)

Why guys twist things? It was 10 sex rapers who did and it is not in the name of Islam. They did it for self satisfaction. In fact, Islam was the religion which abolished killing femal infants, bad sexial attitude towards female etc... Please don't mix action of people with religion. You can't even find a verse telling to rape a woman in Qur'an.

Everything ISIS does is in the name of Islam whether you agree with it or not or whether they've distorted or perverted Islam for their own political motives.

118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 24K BTC Seized From Australian-Silk Road To Be Auctioned on: March 21, 2015, 11:27:57 AM

There's definitely no stopping Silk Road nor similar websites. It's like Hydra, if you cut off 1 head 2 will grow back. Whoever runs these websites definitely needs to focus to enhancing their security to stay alive a little longer each time. The only problem here is that the media tends to abuse news like this, and the average Joe ain't really smart.

I'm hoping that this hydra effect keeps on multiplying. Maybe then the govs will just admit defeat and start to legalize and regulate their use. Just think of the good that can be done with the tax money. Everyone wins then. Ps. I also agree with you about Joe Public not being very smart but hopefully they'll get clued up and warm to bitcoin over time.

Do bitcoins have the potential to become commonplace and to dislodge the money monopoly from the central banks? The outlook is not good. Even if distribution as a means of payment continues to increase, the system's advantage – decentralization – is also its biggest drawback. Unlike legal tender, there is no authority that guarantees the value of the currency, and bitcoin does not benefit from the resulting confidence. In the end, this confidence is crucial for any currency whose usage extends beyond the exchange of goods.

What the hell are they talking about? I don't think they have any idea. The central authorities have little to no control of how much their currency is worth and when they keep printing it all it does is decrease in value. If they could control it the pound and dollar wouldn't have lost most of its purchasing power over the last few decades. What a joke.

Can you give any more details about changes to the campaign? I was thinking of switching to this one.

@marcotheminer, news about my question?

Hey marcotheminer,

News about local boards? I remember in the previous week that you said something about them. Can you inform us if there are new changes to the signature campaign rules?

Thanks for the attention.

I think the trouble is it's too hard to keep an eye on spam in the local sections for a number of reasons. The campaign manager and most staff don't speak the languages and a lot of local sections aren't moderated as much as the others so it's easier for spammers to get away unnoticed with short or spammy posts. It's harsh disallowing certain boards or threads but it's for the best IMHO.
