You are essentially looking for the market rate which is pretty unusual to get even when a trusted member is selling any kind of gift card. As a brand new user I think you should be expecting to get no more then 80 to 85% of the value of any amazon gift card that you can sell

He really should upload an avatar for himself to make it more difficult to impersonate him......at least until the new forum comes out

Hi guys. We would like to make a bid, but regulations say to contact theymos (new user). So we did, but no response so far. Any other admin or a person to ask?
If he does allow you to bid, just be sure that you pay close attention when it comes time to pay for the winning bid. You will most likely receive a fake payment address from someone impersonating him. When you do get the payment address it should be from someone who has a bunch of green numbers next to where it says trust on his profile. |

What is that? And  How much that worth? If you are asking about the set, it is a silver single, a silver+gold single, a halve, and a tenth Casascius coins, all graded ms-67 which is a very good grade. Very few people have the entire set of ms-67 coins, the most rare being the tenth. They are worth a lot, at least BTCBTCBTCBTCBTCBTCBTCBTCBTC |

Candy and Marco the Royal couple? Ewww.
Speaking of which, any guesses to what Candy's current account is? Badbear had been tagging all of Candy's accounts as he had been creating and buying them. Unfortunately he is away (hopefully) temporarily so he isn't tagging additional of his accounts. I don't think he is doing any significant amount of business if he has purchased an account as I haven't seen anyone with the kind of offers that candy tends to offer. |

Could you up the interest at all? If you can up it to .1 (repay 2.1 btc) then I could help you.
I only have 1.5 hours left before I can re-access my funds and either deposit myself or payback this loan. It's not extremely urgent either, but would be nice. If you can't offer .1 btc then you can offer something less but I don't think the chance to make .01 is worth the risk to lending to someone no matter how trustworthy they are. |

Why are you creating this thread if you have nothing to lend? I am also pretty sure that you have a lending thread already.

I agree that he has horrible grammar, spelling ect however he also appears to not closely pay attention to what is being discussed. In one of the OP's examples, he is giving solutions to network issues while the problem is hashing speed as the problem was that his pool was showing a total speed of more then 10% less then the expected total hashrate of all of his miners. I had responded to his advice saying that it would be a bad idea to follow his advice.
I think it is pretty clear that he knows how to write in proper English as some of his posts do use correct grammar, syntax, spelling ect so I don't see any reason why he can't always use proper English as I have no interest in taking the time to try to decipher what he is trying to say, I will just skip past his post. It would be one thing if he has some kind of disability that caused him to speak/write like that (as would be evidenced by him always writing like that) however since this is pretty clearly not the case as he clearly does know how to write properly he should be expected to write in better English. If he isn't willing to take the time to write properly then he is just trying to rush through his posts to get as many out as quickly as possible (aka spam)
He has mentioned previously that he is dyslexic. That is understandable however he does have the ability to communicate "normally" if enough effort is put into it. I don't see why he can't put in sufficient effort into his posts so they all are able to be comprehended without having to spend a lot of time looking at what is being said. Regardless of any kind of impairment, if you write the way a lot of his posts are written, the average person is going to think they are just random words and the impression of him (and the forum) will be reflected accordingly. I don't think everyone needs to write in a way so that an English professor would find nothing wrong with it, however you should be able to quickly know what he is saying in a particular sentence when looking at it. No one obligate you to read his posts, if you want you can 'ignore' him. I think everyone is free to write whatever he want , he should only be 'constructive' and not off-topic". Well if he writes the way that most of his posts are written then I would say they are not constructive. Even if after "translating" them they do have something to do with what is being discussed. |

Hope to get paid out soon.
You should be paid I just got my payment this morning in early hours. Is dependent on time so if due today might be later on  Got my next weekly payment this morning. Thx marco Weren't you banned for part of that payment period? I thought people who are banned are suppose to have their payments withheld When I got banned, I'm did not receive any payment. Is there any special case or rule that crazyearner able to receive payout after got banned  He got unbanned after his ban appeal https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=998420.msg10873990#msg10873990I don't see any rule accounting for this kind of situation. I think it is very interesting how the rules are being.....enforced. |

I'll do it if I don't detect a hint of criminality, the BTC0.1 is sent up front, and the BTC0.2 is placed with an escrow we mutually trust.
This smells like there is something illegal going on here. Granted it is plausible that he is far from a post office/UPS, ect. equivalent, however I think it is more likely the OP is trying to somehow harass someone who probably does not know his identity and is trying to make it look like it is you harassing him/her (hence the tracking instead of letting you drop it in the mail somewhere). Although all this is speculation. You can track any mail starting from any mail drop. Don't you generally need to personally buy a tracking number (e.g. with a stamps.com account or at a post office, both of which would associate your identity with the person who sent the letter)? If you were to simply buy stamps at a grocery store, then I don't think the stamp could be traced back to your identity easily You could pay cash at a post office and wear a fake mustache, beard, and glasses, or buy tracking/postage with an unverified PayPal account you funded with cash, or buy stamps at a grocery store, apply sufficient postage, stick on a tracking number label that you get from the organizer slots at the package prep counter, and subscribe to its updates. I guess that is true, however I don't think many people would think to take such great measures/precautions to make sure their identity is hidden when buying tracking. I would say that by default, most people who buy stamps will do so in a way that their identity cannot be associated with a particular stamp |

Are these all sites that you have been running?
Looks like a smear campaign to me.  is a scammer for sure. He was selling nonexistent ASIC hardware and attempting to spread malware, I think he might have also been using another very similar sounding name. I am not sure if this is in fact the same person, although the site names do look familiar |

So maybe I was wrong about having more negative trusts then positive trusts. The long term con man part of the formula is # long-term con men
if(total > 0 && scam_reports > 4)
scam_multiplier += (scam_reports / total) * 50 So if you have more then 4 scam reports then the percentage of scam reports based on your total reports gets multiplied times 50 and that gets multiplied times your scam score (you get 4 negative trust points after 7 days for each scam report)
- I see Vod is added by one user from level 1 and removed from someone else from level 1 too so the total sum is 0. However he's still on default trust. Is the rule that 0 is enough?
Isn't there any published guide for this?
I think anyone in the trust list below the person who removed me won't see me as trusted. However anyone in the trust list below the person who trusts me will. Since I am still in default trust, it appears that positive trust overwrites removal of trust, but I could be wrong. It all depends on who you have in your trust list I guess. In order for someone to be removed from someone else's trust network more people at a low tier/level need to exclude you then include you. So You are included in TC's trust list (which is level 1 by default) and are excluded by HostFast (who is also on level 1 by default). If one other person on level 1 were to exclude you (or if TC removed you) then you would be out of default trust, although anyone who had TC on level 0 would still see your ratings by default. If however one other person on level 1 excluded you but someone on level 2 included you then you would still be excluded from default trust tl;dr the trust system is very complicated - this may be why so few people choose not to make custom trust lists |

It is complicated. This is what I believe to be the most up to date one when I asked if it had changed here (for some dumb reason I didn't cite a reference, so hopefully theymos can confirm if it is still up to date scam_reports = total unique users who report scamming
reports = total positive ratings
btc = total BTC from positive ratings
unique_reports = total unique users who posted positive ratings
oldest = timestamp of the oldest positive trust rating
latest_scam = timestamp of the latest scam rating
scam_multiplier = 1
# recent scam = bigger negative score
if(current_time - latest_scam < 7 days)
scam_multiplier += 1.5
# new member = bigger negative score
if(current_time - oldest < 60 days)
scam_multiplier += 3
months = months since oldest
total = reports + btc/50 # 50 BTC = 1 report
# long-term con men
if(total > 0 && scam_reports > 4)
scam_multiplier += (scam_reports / total) * 50
# Approximately limit the number of points each person can contribute each month
subtotal = min(2*unique_reports * months, total)
# Newer users have smaller point limits
limited_total = min(subtotal, 10*months) / 10
score = min((limited_total * months - scam_reports * scam_multiplier), 150) |

I should have added that those trust number changes happened with me only having DefaultTrust in my trust list. At level 2, it doesn't make any sense to add anyone.
Well how you see someone's trust is based on your trust network. What I did was essentially make it look like that 4 and then 5 people in default trust gave you negative trust in the eyes of the account that I was using. But since I don't have 5 accounts on default trust I used a custom trust list instead. I will find the formula I believe to be accurate that calculates trust scores |
