As far as I can tell you're on some strong drugs...

SatoshiCoins =\= Bitcoins

It sounds like a weird (and pointless) alt-coin
122  Other / Meta / Re: Why so low activity? on: April 03, 2014, 04:23:16 PM
I have 325 posts but my activity is still 56?

it is 70 now Wink and in two weeks time it will me 84 Smiley if you will post 14 posts during this period of time Smiley


He doesn’t need to make 14 posts. Just one every period when your post count is much higher than your activity.

As long as I know it does not work like that. .
You need to post in those two weeks or you will get 0+ activity.

He does need to post once, but doesn't need to post 14 times to get 14 activity.

By now you should assume anyone in an important position on this forum is a scammer.

There are plenty of good people too!

How much $$$ does theymos pay you?

It depends on the ad revenue, take the month's ad revenue X 0.25 and divide that by about 40. Active moderators get more than inactive ones, but that is a rough figure.

So about 25% of the revenue spilt between about 40 mods.

The forum gets about 18 btc per week for advertising.

18x0.25=4.5
4.5/40=0.1125
0.1125/7*31=0.4982142

So each mod gets around 0.5 btc per month?

Like I said, it does depend on moderator activity, but that isn't a bad average.

Ok, not a bad amount for moderating a forum.

The $ per hour is pretty low, and it's awful compared to my day job... but it's a perk, gives me some spending BTC!

Two of his questions should really be answered:

Why do you guys need to get access to the forums database?

Please show us the transactions where the $350,000 was sent.  If you're not going to show it, you should give a reason as to why not.

Perhaps newbs could have plain, unannoying ones, middle ranks could have gifs, and heroes can be as annoying as they like.

Nope nope nope!

Just so people know... the trust system is not moderated, anyone is allowed to leave feedback for anyone else.

Just remove the altcoin board altogether. It's nothing but a cesspool of shit.
Not the first time that I would have said much the same.
+1
+1
I think it's been a waste of space for a long time, and it's definitely grown to be much worse.

Users should have the option to upload a GPG public key that the forum uses to encrypt all notification emails.

Alternately or in addition to this, the forum should have native Bitmessage capability. This means letting users register with Bitmessage addresses and sending notifications through the Bitmessage network. Note that routing the notification through a honeypot gateway like bitmessage.ch doesn't count because the primary purpose of Bitmessage is to not have monitoring chokepoints with access to plaintext.

This is a toss-up. Technically we can enable the option without a problem and sensitive info like password reset links and things of the like can be sent with GPG if the users opt into it.

What's the toss-up?

I think the option to GPG encrypt all messages from the forum is a great idea.

Isn't it time to remove John from the trusted escrow list now? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108716.0

If you read the list you'll notice that it says "Gone AWOL, still holding members money." to the right.  It's good to have that note up there.

Your crawler is probably taxing on the server.  How often is it running, and how many pages does it load at once?
132  Other / Meta / Re: Activity? on: March 26, 2014, 05:05:46 PM
Maybe the newbie readme explains this one....

It looks like all outside images are broken right now, I'm not seeing any of them loading.
134  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Corporations storing bitcoins on: March 25, 2014, 05:40:38 PM
The security and storage challenges of bitcoin are easily overcome by the knowledgable individual.  However, I'm not sure it is as easy for corporations due to the nature of needing a sole controller of private keys.

And I think this is one of THE biggest reasons why more big money hasn't jumped in yet.

Discuss.

Multi-sig will take care of that issue.

Why is their no transparency in in money exchanging hands?

I have told you that I paid Slickage about $350,000. You can verify via the block chain that a substantial amount of BTC is still held in addresses under the control of myself and the other treasurers. But the block chain can't really show that the $350,000 was not sent to me instead of Slickage, or that I didn't send more than $350,000, or that the treasurers are not really me, etc. So I find it pointless to provide additional blockchain info and then have people complain about these unresolvable questions. (Especially when it is trivially easy to see that I actually did send at least the stated amounts at the stated times by looking at addresses I control.)

You still really haven't given us a good reason why you won't show the transaction and sign a message with the address.  When you make a unilateral decision to put down a $350,000 down payment on an estimated $1,000,000 project you need to expect to be questioned.  There's no reason you can't show us where the money came from/went to.

https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf  in case you don't know where to find it!

These nine pages are very helpful.


These nine pages should be mandatory reading.  For bonus point read it again a couple months later.  Bitcoin is like an onion, lots of layers.  The more you learn, the more you realize you have more to learn.

+1 for onion status, I first read it in 2011 and have re-read it multiple times.  It takes a long time to fully understand Bitcoin!

To recover the account theymos would have to do the work.  AFAIK the only way he'll do it is if you can prove that you owned the account.  The only way that really works for that is signing a message with PGP or a BTC address that had been previously posted by your account.
