Your account is not worth anywhere near 1 btc. If you want that large of a loan you are going to need a much larger amount of collateral

correct. Everyone should use escrow if you are selling to this person.

What pricing are you willing to offer?

it seems that people are getting in more often as of recently. I think it is more of an issue with people's poor security practices then with forum security. I would also think any kind of 2fa is just going to make people have a false sense of security when trading with others and will not demand signed messages ect when trading with trusted members which will only result in more people getting scammed.

If you cannot sign a message then there is a good chance that the account is hacked.

If he were to do a pay per post deal, and have a budget of 20 BTC per month (5 BTC per week) then, if he was paying .0012 for hero members, and only hero members joined, then he would get ~4,100 posts per week. This month there were roughly 300,000 new posts, or roughly 75,000 per week, so he would get roughly .5% of all posts, however I would say that even if they have the forum ads enabled, most of the time when people post, they will not even see the forum ad because they will scroll to the end of the thread because they have already read most of it (they are only looking at new posts).

A good amount of the new posts were likely in sections like games and rounds which stunna has said he will not pay for.

Additionally stunna would have the ability to encourage people to post in certain sections by adjusting the payment amount each post would be worth, verses having to pay for 'all' the impressions the forum gets.

I would also say that it would not be realistic to continue to be able to get 4 forum ad spots for only 6 BTC, that is usually closer to the price of less then two ad spots.

Instructions as to how to sign a message are here. The account will have to have posted a btc address at least 6 months ago and you would need to sign a message from that address to prove the account was not hacked

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

No it won't. If this was a small risk then someone would have lent you the money by now. There is no shortage of people willing to give out loans with an appropriate amount of risk, most loans that end up getting filled are filled within an hour

I was referring to who is in the "big 5"

No they can't, only Hero+, Donator+ and staff+ can turn off forum ads. Everyone can turn off viewing signatures. Most ad blocking software is ineffective against blocking forum ads.

IMO signature advertising is more effective then forum advertising though. I would doubt that stunna would end up paying more then 6 BTC per week if he were to reopen his campaign. If he were to reopen his signature campaign, a lot of the earning would probably end up back at prime dice anyway

According to this thread, a newbie account cost .07 to start posting (due to a lot of units of evil).

Generally speaking you can sell a member account for between .03 and .06, a full member for between .11 and .25, a senior member for between .33 and .6, and a hero member for between .75 and 3.5; however the upper range of values for both senior and hero members are somewhat difficult to get.

That topic was deleted as being a duplicate

If you are not accepting escrow then you are scamming

no.

For some reason they are not relaying nor receiving information from other nodes. There could be a number of reasons for this. Without any kind of official announcement (likely from their twitter), saying that anything specific is wrong would be speculation

Right, and other options would be http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/pushtxn.php and https://coinb.in/#broadcast as well. However using your qt client (that is synched) is probably best IMO (if you can)

This table appears to be sorted based on how many people publicly use various escrow services, and how hard the various escrows are pushing their escrow service. It does not take into account trust ratings or likely private escrow transactions

It seems to be receiving transactions just fine (although this may be from their own node only), however it seems to be stuck at block 345546

If you wish to send a transaction and use blockchain.info's wallet then you should create it with blockchain.info, view the tx in hex format and then push it with your full node

I thought you were going to repay the people he scammed out of the money you owe him?

So users need to post roughly two sentences for their post to qualify, that is really not a very high threshold. Generally speaking most posts that don't fit the above criteria are spam anyway.
