The Great Flood of Noah's day was only about 4300 to 4400 years ago. Since that flood wiped everyone except Noah's family from off the earth, that means that the currency system isn't more than that old. In addition, the currency almost assuredly wasn't used by Noah. What would he use it for? Any barter he did, would have been between him and his children and grand children, etc. Who needs money for that? Probably the oldest money system that we could connect to is way less than 4000 years old. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) The Great Flood was the one that created the Black Sea and actually that's the only region the got flooded. There may be states and kings older than that, though on a quick search I didn't find anything big before 3100 BC.

Payment also received, all good, a new week has started.

Bitcoin is a great payment instrument, especially if you work with companies from other countries. I would definitely work for Bitcoin.
Just... let's face it... most of us will have to convert that earning into fiat to pay the loans, buy food and so on...

I should be first or second in the waiting queue. Now my name is crossed out. How comes? I'd still like to keep my spot in the list.

Maybe I'm just an unbeliever, but this sounds like a Ponzi to me.
I wil wait for other oppinions too.
PS. Nice story btw.

No.
It's more of a scavenger hunt for account farmers, bots, one-liner-newbies, Dank, scammers, Joey, and pretty much anyone else. Everyone on Bitcointalk has done it. It's the initiation.
What - do you think your rank doesn't matter unless you're joining a signature campaign, selling something, or getting a loan? Silly low levels.
Your conclusion (about me) is wrong and your words are... not nice. If you read up, I was surprised to get to Full Member. Of course, I took the opportunity, and I see you did that too. My posts were driven by common sense and from what you can see, I didn't do really bad. Actually my interest for the rules became high since a few weeks ago, but the reason is that I've got message that one of my posts was removed. And then (yes, only then) I thought that I should really read the rules, which where hard to find. But yeah, ... actually ... you can believe what you want, it's a free world.

Thank you, it was a good read. It really needs to be in a more visible place...

Monero may not be a pump and dump coin, but there is certainly a lot of dumping going on, and the price is starting to suffer.
I am very surprised to see Monero doing so badly, however I see no news until next year that could reverse this trend. The GUI is planned for 2015 correct? And the database work? Has any progress been made? I believe that you missed the last missive: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg9271342#msg9271342They are working on the database. It's indeed slower than my expectations, but hey! they are not many devs, not that well-paid, so I cannot complain. I really hope that DB will be finished this year. And about GUI wallet, I think that the currently existing (3rd party) GUI wallets are considered "good enough" for now. I cannot tell, as for me simplewallet is already good enough.

Though I am (surprisingly?) full member, I am still a newbie in this forum - especially regarding the rules (yeah, my bad, I know). So although the start of this thread was fun, it turned out as something informative for me.
A "thank you" goes especially to Dare.
No offense at all, but that's why I hope we can find some ways to force new bitcointalk users to read those important stickies and force every users to revise them once a while. None taken, you are completely right. But maybe, just maybe, this forum/software is not structured well? For example the most important links you can always see are "Show unread posts...", "Show new replies.." and "Watchlist". Maybe a new link (Forum rules?) would be welcome there. And the silly question of the day: where are those (important) stickies? Is it the "NEWBIE README" from "Beginners & Help"? (If it's that, I am sure that more than 60% of the users have never read it.)

username: japioca thank you!

Wow, this is even worse than Ponzi! What's the actual promotion?
And yeah, this forum may be somehow against new accounts, but it occurred to you that's exactly because of this kind of games scam attempts?
|

Obviously 1 million users! The growth of the user base should be exponential (especially because of so many altcoins). The growth of bitcoin is... um... yeah, let's say "slower" ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

My theory is that some programs advertised as miners (created or just "compiled" by 3rd party) could actually install keyloggers.
Also I remember there was a Chrome addon, a ticker (!) that was actually stealing bitcoin, which I believe that the usual antivirus software did not catch, so the dangers are quite big. But maybe I'm wrong/too scared.

"We do not know Ryan's current location, and he is unfortunately the only one with access to customer funds." - Mintpal, twitter. https://twitter.com/MintPalExchange/status/523939006988701696Ryan is probably on the run/cashing out. This is disgusting, everyone at Moolah.io needs to be prosecuted to the highest extent, I'm sure the other members knew better than to allow 1 guy access to the customer funds...They're probably all in on it. Very hard to just take people at their word on the internet, but this definitely presents an alternate viewpoint: http://pastebin.com/VYpQ5CWATLTR; Can someone summarice this? Ryan aka Moolah CEO seems to be the only one that can access Mintpal cold wallets (where most of the funds should be). Moolah acquired (more or less) not so long ago. Ryan was declared a scammer, he seems to be hiding now. He is a smart person, he uses proxies from Russia and China when he comes online so it's hard to find his real location. And the pastebin story is the story of one of dogecoin devteam members about how was Ryan behaving with his partners. Quite an interesting (but very long) read, that also convinced me too that moolah is indeed a scammer. The conclusion is that most of people that had big funds for long time on Mintpal may never get them back.

I also vote for the faucet. People will be able to play a little with the free money and if they like it, they will deposit more. The benefits are much bigger than the estimated loses.

I guess that it depends on your referrals' work on getting more people in. I have 34 L1 referrals and in the last 6 months I've earned under 3k satoshi on that site. Maybe my grandchildren will withdraw something from there.
However, good luck!
