What happens if your activity is upgraded in the middle of a period, will you receive .0003 per post if your signature is the normal size again?

Yours wont be, but I imagine you'll get paid for the posts you do under each like were getting the two different payments this term. Stunna said he might be changing the system at the end of the term anyway so we'll have to see what he comes up with.

Just got back from seeing Non-Stop. It's enjoyable but a fair bit predictable.

I'd wait for a rental.

Is it similar to Flightplan or Redeye? I enjoy a lot of those trapped in one place movies, but they don't really hold up on repeat viewings as the suspense is gone after the twists have been revealed.

I'd say better. The suspense never really left IMO and only a few twists really got revealed. A lot of twists were revealed more to the end of the movie in a "mindblown" sort-of-way. IMO atleast.

Isn't that how most twists are revealed? haha. But I do like those "mindblowing" ones that really add something else to the film.

Point taken, but this one was different in a way. I don't want to go into too much detail to prevent myself from spoiling the movie.

However, the "mindblowing" ones were the "chill up your spine" ones. The movie was so different every 20-30 minutes; leaving the audiences minds to jump back and forth on suspicions. Leaving the theatre all you could hear were invalid and wrong suspicions because maybe 10% (made up statistic of what I heard) of the people actually guessed it.

Like I said, this one (atleast for me) was not easy to guess because there was such so much theory and not many clues provided.

Yeah, I like those ones, especially when you never see 'em coming. I wish I hadn't've seen it has a twist now though because when I watch it I'll be looking for it and trying to analyse the film too much haha.

Why are you suddenly bothering with the laws of science? You disregard them for everything else unless it appears to suit you, but that info did come from somewhere. Millions of years of evolution. Why do you never apply your same logic to god himself. God must have "information" in him too, far more complex information than anything that is on this planet, yet he exists just fine to you.

But who is really disregarding the laws of science?  Evolutionists have so little proof of their theory.  For just one example, they use a few fossils that show micro-evolution (changes within a kind) and then make assumptions based on these fossils and then speculate that because they see some changes in a species that then we all just evolved from nothing, but there is no proof of any changes from species to another species or one kind to another kind and then you say that I am not bothering with the laws of science?  I am offended by that.  

There is great science that has support for intelligent design.  I am sorry if I have to use "biased" creation websites to show videos of this but unfortunately all of the so called "scientific" sites have become a club of evolution propaganda preachers that have the main goal of discrediting anything that would make them even consider that there was a God, or someone that they have to be accountable to other than themselves.


And as for God having information?  Of course He does.  We have a finite mind and have no understanding of anything outside of time or creation.  Everything in our world has a beginning and an end.  We cannot understand an infinite being because we are living in finite bodies. 


Evolutionists have so little proof of their theory? Creationists have zero of theirs.  Evolution doesn't boil down to just "a few fossils". There's far more evidence on top of the fossil record that backs that up, but you disregard that. You say there's no proof, but the only thing that would satifsy you is if you saw an monkey evolve into a human or a bird into a fish in front of your eyes, but that's not gonna happen.

And you just said a few posts up that there's information in the world and we need a designer for that to be put there. How did the information get in god? You contradict yourself continually. You ask for evidence yet require none for god. If nobody can understand god because he's outside of time (I thought he was everywhere?) then you cant possibly understand him. But I suppose it does make sense that god would write the bible in such childlike terms so us puny limited-capacity humans can understand it. Don't actually elaborate or explain any of the genius of the science behind all creation, just say "I did it and it was good" like that's an acceptable explanation and us idiotic humans will believe it without any evidence. Oh, wait... idiots do believe it.  Like I said before, if there was a god, the bible would be an absolute slap round the face to his intelligence and genius  Roll Eyes.

So is Satoshi the Creator or did bitcoin evolve?

After all, once upon a time there were lowly little one digit numbers swimming around.  Then they combined.  But nobody has ever shown a number simply arise out of the swamp.  Every number came from another number.

I watched an interesting video about how the fact we even have "information" or the ability to think proves that the information was put there to begin with.  http://www.answersingenesis.org/media/video/ondemand/beginning-was-information/beginning-was-information

I used to teach Kindergarten and in teaching math to young children there is some time spent on symmetry and pattern recognition.  Patterns as well as symmetry are everywhere in our world. Even the simplest things like a leaf on a tree has symmetry.  It obviously takes order and a plan for things to be made like they are.  Where did the plan and order come from?  For evolution to be a good theory we should see evidence of chaos becoming more orderly or symmetry and patterns coming from nothing, but this just isn't the case.  


There's patterns and symmetry because of math which is a universal language. God didn't make it; it's just there. If god has a symmetrical face, does that mean he needs a creator too?

And what do you mean 'symmetry and patterns coming from nothing'? That happens all the time. There's no amount of facts or evidence that any one could ever provide that will satisfy you. God could come down from the sky and tell you evolution was true and the bible is bullshit and you'd probably still question it.

Math requires information.  Watch the video.  It discusses math quite a bit as well as "language" and really is compelling.   I can't do it justice.  My brain does not have enough "information" in it. Wink  I am humbly aware of my limitations but I feel fairly confident that most of you on this board will be able to follow it fine.

Linking me to a website called answersingenesis.org is about as much use as me linking you to one called religionisbullshit.org or evolutionisfact.co.uk.

I can try to summarize but I cannot do the scientist credit.  He is a German geneticist an do goes into great detail with examples.

But I will do my best here:

Information is complex.  The amount of information in even a small part of our DNA, for example, is more than thousands of pages of a book.  This information comes from somewhere.  All information comes from someone putting that information there.  This is a scientific "law."  He has proof of that law.  Therefore, there had to be intelligent design because of how information works. 



Why are you suddenly bothering with the laws of science? You disregard them for everything else unless it appears to suit you, but that info did come from somewhere. Millions of years of evolution. Why do you never apply your same logic to god himself. God must have "information" in him too, far more complex information than anything that is on this planet, yet he exists just fine to you.

Was considering signing in again but then saw this change to 0.0001 Sad
but now you are going to Sr Member and hope you have high rate then why are not signing again
I probably will, as sr member rates are v good, but last month before the change full members were paid 0.0002, now it's only half of that, don't know how long it will take before I go up a level, I've been sitting on current activity for a few weeks now Cheesy
why your activity stuck because its works automatically for all and moves after every 14 days is there any problem what happen to you
Nothing really happened just feel like it's been 2 weeks since my last activity update. Would be nice to know how the forum calculates it. If the starting point is the registration date, then my points should be added on the 30th of every month, but that didn't happen. (I'm quite sure my points are exactly the same for over a week). It's not much of a problem I can wait a bit more.

As I got it, the day activity increases doesn't depend on your registration date. As said before, it increases automatically for all at the same time... Grin

It's not. Just wait for the activity to update and then you'll be able to work it out.

So I've noticed that postings on this forum have dropped significantly.  What's up with that?

The only thing that I can think of is that there is a significant amount of members that were burnt by the GOX debacle and are now despondent. As a result, there is an avoidance of anything Bitcoin related for awhile.

Do you have figures or stats for this, or are you just saying it seems like they've dropped significantly?
13672  Other / Meta / Re: Proposal: Disallow Ads in Signatures on: March 03, 2014, 05:09:00 PM
Why not force advertisers to pay by activity instead of posts... That way there is less spam...
Cause having an advertiser with 1400 activity doesn't give you a single advertisement if said person doesn't post?
1 Post = 1 link to your website
1 Activity = Huh

This is exactly it. As I've said numerous times before, all the other deals that pay by activity either offer peanuts or get exploited. If there's no incentive to post then people wont or will do very little. If signatures stay, the simplest solution is to just ban spammers and/or delete their posts.

Read the feedback. It's not for anything malicious just allegedly using a sock account, which isn't against the rules, but having more than one thread per casino is.

We will see - today is 01.03 they should pay to sig sellers.

Smiley if they will not pay - we will read about it soon.



He's already paid some apparently if you check the thread.

I must say I did not checked his thread from a days, but thanks to letting me know.

Good. So at least they pay to people who work for them Smiley
So maybe their casino is legit too. I never play there.

I can recommend only CoinBet.CC - for 100% legit.

He only had to pay for their posts throughout 5 days. Most likely he will not pay at the end of March.

I'm aware of that and have stated several times just because he paid for a weeks worth of posts doesn't mean he will for an entire month, but he did also pay out for the previous sig promotion too, but I'm still very sceptical.
I agree with btcton. However, you need to have in mind that he did stop the previous promotion without paying for the last few days worth of posts. To some, at least.

In his defence many users were exploiting it, one in particular who had bought several accounts solely to claim payment. But it was silly paying in advance anyway. That's always going to be exploited.

I have removed the advertisement from my signature seeing the new requirements for full pay. I hope I will be paid for the posts I had it on for... Oh well it doesn't really matter.

So you'd rather not get paid for any posts now and potentially lose payment for the previous ones you did?
