I also want to ask you to start a thread and put proof. I was very close to invest (yeah, a tiny amount, but still..) into his dice site, not believing the (only) negative feedback he had because it .. just sounded silly and had no proof for anything wrong done.
Some events made me change my mind and now, reading this, I .. feel lucky.
So yeah, please make a proper scam accusation. It'll help others.

With 50 BTC you can already do quite some movement on the market. But to be a whale, I'd say that you need at least 200 BTC.

I like this idea, though I don't think it's gonna happen. People will hide behind words like privacy to do their businesses. Also, just imagine then how will the negative trust flow ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Imho if you want to stay anonymous, you should just use anonymous coins. Some are already good and fight for a good place. Using various anonymisers, especially if you don't know what you do, may produce more harm than good (an easy example would be to lose your coins).
Of course it's just an advice. Do as you prefer.

Another attempt: 4 key: one of the keys is 100, which is 4. and the others are 0 and 1.
The obvious operation is add, so: 1+4 = 5. The "5 years old" may also be a clue.
Is the answer.... 000000005 ?

I would like this thread to live on and stay more technical. Can you guys do this please? It really started with something and I'd like to see how it goes on. Why? Because this can develop to a proof that DRK is actually not anon OR it can strengthen DRK position as anonymous coin. Both cases would be a great help for us as community. Please keep the usual DRK vs XMR useless talk elsewhere, you have plenty of places for that.
I've watched Evil-Knievel's attempts to find weaknesses in other places too (Bitcoin included), so let's give him some credit and maybe some smart guys can tell (and prove) if this is a start for something or not.

He really doesn't understand tech. He is trying to stay away from things he doesn't understand.
His generation don't trust computers or anything to do with them. Yup. He's too old to learn and too old to change. His habits are related to fiat, how could he trust in something he cannot touch? Instead, we are the "online" generation, that already know that computers can "make money", in various ways. Also, if we would think like he does, we would not be here. No, I don't think Buffet is right.

dec 101 in base4 would be 1211. Is 000001211 the answer? hex 101 in base2 would be 100000001. That's a wrong answer. dec 100000001 in base8 would be 575360401. is 575360401 the answer? "ask 4 the key": what is the key, please? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

100.16% ? Is that per day?
That means that if you invest 1 BTC, after each day you'll get (pure profit) 0.0016 BTC. A Full member gets more than that from sig campaign for 2 posts....
Did I miss something?
It means 100.16% of the investment in 114 days. Anything after that is pure profit... Sig campaigns are not investment. That is work. U sell your time to advertise for others and hence u earn. Ahhh, I understand now the numbers. Thanks. So it took 114 days (1/3 of a year!!) to get back the 0.01 BTC (10 posts "work"). Instead of such profit, I prefer "work", really: 0 investment, 0 risk, pretty good chance to cash in more than that in (much) less than a week. I don't want to be mean, I just want to show that (imho!) it's not worth the investment right now. Maybe some day, when BTC will go (back) to 600-100$, then the equation will change. Equipment and power consumption are paid in $ and then the numbers (in BTC) will look much-much better. Your understanding capability has bewildered me !!! It is an investment return ratio. If you invest 0.01 BTC, you'll get that back. If you invest 10 BTC, you'll get that back as well. But, in the second scenario u'll make more profit after 1/3 of a year, which is not the case for your 'signature campaign work'. Yeah, I needed a coffee. Apologies, you are right. Still not a safe investment, though much better than my initial broken math ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I edited that post, keeping the old text too, for fairness.

Now it would be a good time to buy. A dump just happened and the price should slowly get back to normal trend.
I wouldn't call it a dump, just a normal correction of the recent gains. From now on we can see whether the trend reversal is the reality already, or we are in for more sideways movements. In the past 2(?) months the price was like the waves. It feels like summer ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Some call it pumps and dumps, some call it corrections. Usually the truth is somewhere in between. The trend should be a slow rise. But yeah, if I'd have a crystal ball, I'd drink cocktails on a sunny beach, not reading/writing about Bitcoin.

Create your own exchange, wait untill the amount of BTC and Users are high enough (one year is a rough-and-ready rule). Then send the BTC to another address and make the following announcement: "We got hacked. 3900 BTC were stolen from our wallets."
It's easy … isn't it?
Brilliant idea! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Just it has a possible flaw: I've read that some exchange owners had troubles with the justice because they didn't register their business (as exchange?) and pay the taxes (?). So it may not be a small investment after all. But I can't argue, the profit is big and almost guaranteed. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Would (slowly) sell some of them to buy the goods I need for a better life. Then invest some. And play a little with the market. Hold some.

Equipment and power consumption are paid in $ and then the numbers (in BTC) will look much-much better.I was wrong again. So it took 114 days (1/3 of a year!!) to get ROI and then you'll mine for free as long as the mining site will keep mining for you. If the price will not decrease even more and if the difficulty doesn't get much bigger, it may be easy money. Else the power will start to cost more than you get for each block. Also, halving will come at some point. Too many IFs for a safe investment (though I stand corrected, GermanGiant was right ).

Basically such big names "investing" (helping) surely made a background check and the chance that the investment is good (moon) is somewhat bigger. But it's a startup after all. And that means that the risk is way above normal. Even big, established businesses can fail (just remember the social networks from before Facebook). Startups have a way bigger chance for that. And crypto startups...
More than the money the big names bring, it's the reputation. Bitcoin is not like some company - it needs more than average reputation and credibility, as it aims to replace money. So the big fish help with that. You are obviously right (though imho slightly offtopic). And the reputation works in both ways: the big name may lose some of the reputation if the "investment" fail. That's why a background check is done. And both - the big fish and the background check - increase the awareness / reputation of the startup (or Bitcoin) and more big fish may come and "take a look".

Another possible good investment could be to invest into "house" on casino/dice sites.
My personal experience was.. strange: I invested a small amount and after an hour or so I checked back and I was slowly losing money there. Then I did something I don't advice you to do: I did some gambling. I recovered my loses and made a small profit. Then I "ran" out from there.
I've seen reviews made by people with more patience (and money) than mine, so that could actually be a good investment, I don't know. I thought it worth mentioning it here anyway.
