There is no legit way of buying tokens outside of CB, they don't allow resellers and you're right about buying an account with tokens, it might become un-tip-able, making it useless. If there was a way I would have loved to buy some tokens myself.

Since they were not like the traditional exchange, there was no way for hackers to steal user's funds as the funds would only remain on the exchange for the time the exchange (shift) took place, which usually required one confirmation in most cases. But as mentioned it must have affected some when they took down the exchange or when the hot wallets required to complete the shift were emptied by hackers.

Haven't got a first impression of it since I haven't tried it yet and not so keen on trying it near future either, I'll let others take the tour for now and report on it and then maybe I'll join later. Since I don't buy too much stuff online, I am not too enthused about it, let's see what becomes of it.

Bitcoes? Who was he? I am sure he was a nice person, RIP Mr. Bitcoes.

Will removing bots improve this account's audit report? It might if re-audited, which twitteraudit won't do without paying for it. The first one is free but they charge a fee for the subsequent audits.



My audit shows at 83% when I am sure that all of my followers are real. Maybe they do this so they can make you purchase the next audit.

I'd gamble more if I was rich but sadly I am not. But if I do become rich in future, I would not gamble from my home in front of the computer, no sir!, I'd go to Vegas, Atlantic City, China etc. where they have the biggest and best floor casinos in the world.

I mean what's the point of being rich, if you're not even going to live your life to fullest?

Guys keep your kids away from "making money on the internet" thing, its not as easy as it looks plus there are monsters everywhere, they'll get desperate when they don't make enough from playing games or leeching faucets and start doing shit like cam whoring, though nothing wrong with that but its not something you want your kids doing.

Instead give them small amounts of bitcoins for doing house chores, start giving them a part of their pocket money in bitcoin OR set up a small store for them (on OB or elsewhere) where they can sell things for bitcoin.

Don't save all of it, spending is as important as saving it.
And the future is uncertain, not just for bitcoin but humanity as a whole.

#Scenario-1: Something goes wrong, a bad virus is spread throughout the environment and we all turn into ugly zombies and we all know what happens after that.
#Scenario-2: Nuclear war breaks down, we're all dead.
#Scenario-3: Earth gets hit by a giant asteroid, game over!.

Point being, don't think too much about future, buy it, use it, buy again. Maybe save a little for future but that's it.

Voted for:

* Pen and Paper (Electrum Seed)
* Memory stick (Seed, Keys..)

Both of these are then stored at a highly secured facility (Shoe box in my cupboard) where no one can reach.

Sub forums under Auctions is a good idea and I voted for it.

Well 1 is you and other could be a bot so there's your 2 views.

You can see the address https://blockchain.info/address/1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa and that is how you know how much is sent to an address, like the most recent one was sent on 2016-03-31 and no, I don't think its paying tribute to anyone, more like throwing money away for no reason, it'd be better if they donate this to me ..err to a charity instead of this. 

Well unless you murdered anyone, you ain't got nothing to worry about. Buy some curtains and put them, in time everyone will forget your free peep show.

And in case I don't see ya..

Are you using google translate?

Here's a thing though, one is basically a fraud, you're sending money to a racket with false hopes of having your investment back multiplied magically after a duration of time. While the other is sort of like a gamble but based on calculative speculations.

Great! thank you guys for your opinion. Maybe I'll recommend it the next time someone is looking to earn interest on their bitcoins.

Locking thread.

As far as your other questions go there are so many good ones that you shouldn't really rely on one and it can provide serious income if you're able to get people to sign up as your affiliates, which is not an easy task, more importantly it is harder to find active affiliates, for ex. if someone sign up under you on a gambling site, your income depends on how much they wager, similarly if it is an exchange then it depends on how much they trade.

I have worked for you before and can help again if you like. Let me know the details of the job and the payment structure through PM if you need more people for the job.

We were all newbies once and not all of them are bad but like you mentioned OP should have been careful since he was dealing with a Ponzi operator and yes, escrow should be used where ever possible, although it is hard to hire one for $2 deals.

OP did you made a deal with him on the forum or just invested donated money to his ponzi?

For future, do what I did, Go to your "Profile->Ignore Boards Preferences" and block the complete ponzi section out, you won't even see any posts from their in "Recent Unread Topics" list.

Is there any other reason to gamble? Even if you're gambling for entertainment, the only fun you get out of it is when you win, so everyone gamble for the sake of profit.

Though money management smartness is necessary but in the end it all comes down to luck. You can be as smart as a whip but if lady luck is not in your favor (which she usually isn't) you'll end up losing.

Never chase losses, understand that some days you're gonna lose and some days you're gonna lose more but most importantly, don't make it a Job. And if you're getting frustrated from your losses, then maybe it is best to take a breather every now and then.

Don't worry, I am smarter than that, I can never get myself to trust any of these kind of services, no matter how trustworthy they seem, I just wanted to see what was others perspective on it.

And it looks like a lot many think its safe, or maybe they're so keen to earn something from their bitcoins that they want to believe it is.
