What other users don't know about is the fact that hacking or compromising bitcoin's security is theoretically possible. But to be able to achieve such a feat, one must have a very powerful machine or machines to aid them in computing the necessary prerequisites before you can disrupt the whole network. I doubt it is achievable within a span of 10 years, but who knows? With the technological advancements mankind had within the last century, everything is possible.

Afaik, there isn't a certain number of posts that you need to accumulate in order for you to get banned. The main point for you to get banned by posting is posting nonsense post (usually bump, +1, single pictures etc.) and replies that are really far from what the topic really is. You can actually post as many as you want and as you like, as long as it is constructive and doesn't stray away from what is being tackled upon in the topic.

Have you read the forum guidelines? 

He seriously needs to know the difference between the Bitcoin network and bitcointalk.org
It is true that the website is down for several hours, but the bitcoin network isn't. If that happens, that means all the miners in the world turned of their hardware or a major hack happened (which are very unlikely to happen). Get some facts straight before posting anything to the social media or else you'll get criticized by many people.

Got my payment. Thanks for running this campaign.

Honestly speaking, bitcoin wouldn't solve the world's poverty issues. The problem in poverty is on the hands of those in the authority; the powers governing this world. After all, we, the people of this world, are the ones who create crimes and oppress each other for the benefit of the few, so I don't think that bitcoin--or any other similar innovative technologies to be invented--are going to end poverty. It can help, but the outcome would still be in the hands of the people using it.

If it's fine by you, may I ask what kind of business do you guys have? Also, if you're looking into adding bitcoins into your investments, why not integrate bitcoins into your existing business as well? Also, if you are offering services, try asking for bitcoin payments too. As for bitcoin investments, buying bitcoins can be considered as one. Trading is also a way to go but if you guys are not yet familiar on how bitcoin trading works, stay away from it first and try to educate yourself about it before going deeper.

Hope your business succeeds!

Those greedy people who doesn't do their homework before taking part into any of these activities are losers. And no, I will not show any remorse to those who'll get burned joining those services. They had been warned.

Many merchants and employers here in our country already know about bitcoins. The thing is, they are scared of the high volatility in price that might affect their businesses and clients as well. They know about it, true, but are scared to touch it because of those roller coaster-like charts. Give them time to think about it and they will probably consider accepting it in the future.

The thread and the link is still all about the April Fool jokes. If you click on the link, you'll see that there are the words "April Fool" and if you have read the link (which I know you have not), you'll see that it is indeed another one of those jokes. Believe me, this "April Fool" thing will continue on for a month. After all, you're on the internet.

I've introduced bitcoin to my Economics teacher last year and the thing that really hurts me as a bitcoin user is this question:

"So, is it a scam?"

I had a hard time explaining the positive side of bitcoins to her. Also, I'm not a bs person so I also explained to her that there are some crimes happening around the bitcoin ecosystem as well. The thing is, most user fail to explain to other people the whole of bitcoin; the different sides of it and what it really means to hold a piece of the digital currency. If we, as users, deliver everything that a potential user need to know, then maybe he/she will reconsider everything first before saying no or staying. It's hard to see people cursing bitcoin to the ground after they found out of themselves that bitcoin is related to many dark activities in the interwebs, and in the real life as well. I don't know but this was the impression shown to me by the same economics teacher that I'm talking about. If we only deliver every single aspect and side of bitcoin, we might as well get serious people who has a strong belief in bitcoin because they already know what they are going into, instead of having people believe that bitcoin is all good. Fiat is also tainted with crimes and the likes, so as every other currency available. Then why not tell it to others while it's early? It's like giving them a warning that this is not all about good stuffs. You're holding money, and as history states, money is tainted and is forever attached to crimes and illegal doings.

One way or another, the altcoin will also turn into an outright scam. Most altcoins tend to end up as "scam coins," as some people would refer it. Whether or not, people should stay away from those services and coin. Just don't.

As for the highlighted text, I didn't say that all altcoins are scam. It's just that Paycoin came from a scammer so I came to a conclusion that it is or it will be a scam too.

Well at last, justice should be served. Pity to those who lost their money in the GAW, paycoin scam. Seriously, though, this dude really got the balls to perform yet another scam. He should go behind bars, and never partake in any bitcoin-related activities ever again.

People need to start seeing that having a loan or being indebted with these financial institutions is not a good idea. It is true that these banks will and may help you at some point in your life, but in the end, you'll see what their true intentions are. Banks are pigs, they are greedy, and people all over the world need to realize that.

If you don't want to call it "forces" then "entity" might be a fitting name. Different entities affect the markets, and those entities have different ideas running on their minds. The market prices greatly, but not thoroughly depends on the consumers and the producers actions. It is still up to these entities in the markets whether or not the prices go up or down.

Yup. And it lasted for several hours before the forum returned its stability.

In all honesty, you can get up to even 1 bitcoin per month in signature campaign if you tend to be online for most of the day and actively participate in different topics without spamming. It is achievable, but for you to attain that goal, you must be very careful on what you post. Some posts that are too far from what the topic is can be considered as insubstantial post. And insubstantial posts are grounds for bans.

Support means someone who is willing to buy the price on a certain threshold, like for example, we are in the $230 price range. People who are willing to buy within that range and consider that a good entry point can be considered as support. The effect is that the certain price cannot be broken or cannot continue to fall down, as people consider that as a good price to buy in.

So it means that the cause of the recent DDoS attack came from an uploaded avatar injected with virus? Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not knowledgeable with such topics. Can you please elaborate further as to how avatars harm the forum and cause a DDoS. i'll also do my own research regarding what you have just said.

Yes. It did update my post count as well as all the necessary details about my participation in this campaign. Well I'd like to ask a question, at about what time will my post count change to 0? Or does this mean that I can still post and add those to my post count?

Idk if they already found out who was responsible for the recent attack. Seems like the attack is kinda strong it lasted for several hours.
