I can still post in the newbie section, I did a test.  "Post new poll" is still clickable for me.  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=424639.0)

Is that supposed to happen?

You can still reply to threads in there, but you cant make new ones, but you can seemingly post a poll, but not sure if that's meant to be allowed or not.

The payments come from the operator, and yes, there is certainly a chance that he can just pack up the site and hold onto the wallet for himself.  But, if he's getting steady new users there's no benefit to doing so.  His greed fuels the profit of others.

How do you know that you will definitely get paid out if you reach that level 4 and the money just wont stop there? As long as there's suckers that keep paying in it doesn't really matter and he doesn't even need to disappear. Wouldn't it be a better gamble just gambling with your money other ways? The vast majority of the times these are just straight-up scams and everybody loses out except the operator.

Anyone else care to share which coin they think is "the best"?

What do you define as "the best"? All you'll get here are cryptoplebs pushing their particular coin on you because it's in their interests to do so.
16666  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Doge to the moon...? on: January 20, 2014, 06:42:25 PM
Everyone was saying Doge was dead but in the last week it's gone from .0002 all the way to .00134 on Cryptsy this morning. I'm sure some will say it's another pump and dump, and others will say this coin is on its way to .01. Guess we'll have to wait and see...

If it's not dead it won't be alive for long. And I guess now the Newbie forum has gone this section is gonna get all these threads now.

doge will outlive most alt coins around today, it has one of the largest community's for a coin.  Cool

I'll bet you all your Doges that it wont. And how many of that community will up and leave after a while when they get bored or Doge starts loosing its value.

As I am a follower of Doge from right the beginning, I have to disagree with you.  Doge has always been unique on its own. People just love it.  If you have been looking at the 24h trading value for the last few weeks then you can see the continuously increase. Wink

And by 'right from the beginning' you mean a month or so ago? Tell me about its unique features condescendingwonka.jpg.

Sounds like hilariousandco is a little angry he missed the Doge train... not many Doge, much disappointment

Ah, yes, you got me  Roll Eyes. I'm sure it's more probably the fact that these Doge plebs missed the Bitcoin train. You know, the one where it went up 67 times in value and I made nearly 1000% profit. I'm not angry but I'm a little bit annoyed at all these immature kids spouting off their unoriginal regurgitated meme catchphrases everywhere because they're too stupid to come up with anything original due to their limited mental capacity. wow. such cliche. much annoyance.

That's my first message to the forum, and it can be a quite insecure information for many people. But I would like to share the information I recently obtain about MakeBTC.org

About a week ago I registered to this site, with a very low confidence. So that I just load 0.05 BTC to the system. 2-3 days ago I add 0.053 BTC again since I saw people started to withrewing money, and logs are open to public. And today i made a withdrew, to try if it's work or not. And few minutes ago, I confirm that I take 0.032 BTC payment from the site to the Blockchain.


So you've put in 0.103BTC and gotten out 0.032BTC?

this is a scam it says i have recieved payout but i have not Sad

Most of these pyramid schemes are outright scams. They sucker in greedy fools stupid enough to send them money.

The withdraw function seems to be working fine.  I didn't get in the system early (joined on the 17th), but I've already gotten back .32BTC and raised my level a bit.  It's not the flashiest thing in the world, but it's fun to keep up with it.

How much did you put in?

I put in a total of 1.5 BTC and have withdrawn 0.52 BTC so far (3 days).  This is a pure pyramid scheme, but it advertises it self as that.  You choose a percentage of your "award" for each level to withdraw and the rest is reinvested to raise your level of investment.  It's up 13 levels so far, if it goes up another 4 levels I'll be "even" and everything from that point on is profit.  The only real question is how long the site owner will keep everything running.  It's only been open ~ 3 weeks, so if it stays up for 6 months it will generate a lot of profit for a lot of people.  Of course some people will get screwed... but that's why this is posted in the gambling forum!

What if it's impossible to get to the top or the next 4 levels and you just keep getting fed along and never recoup your money? Usually these aren’t actually schemes to make money but scams to lose it. Pretty much everybody loses out except the creator.

I don't think you understand how this kind of system works, it's always possible to increase levels as long as people are still joining the program.  It's the same with any pyramid system.  The people at the bottom will always make the most money (depending on new investment amounts), but you have a chance to make plenty of money as long as additional people join after you.

You wont make anything if additional people don't join. Do the payments come directly from the operator or the users?

Of course... that's the entire idea of a pyramid system; it's only successful as long as new people join and invest.  The idea of the pyramid is to join and then get people you know to join; they get people they know and so on and so on, you make income based on downstream investments.  This one is more unique because you make money off of anyone investing, not just your downstream affiliates.    The payments come whenever a "level" is reached, which is a specific amount of BTC invested.  Pyramids are risky and you shouldn't invest if you don't have money to lose, but the people who do invest in the early stages often end up making substantial profits.  The key is when the "early stages" end, it's all based on how long the system survives.  

If it were to stop getting new people today I would be down ~1BTC, that's a risk I'm willing to take.  If the system goes up 20 more levels (it made 12 levels in 3 weeks) then I will be up ~2.75BTC at a minimum on top of what I've already withdrawn.

So do the payments come directly from the site operator or the other users, because as with these schemes they just tend to be scams and as soon as the operator has enough money he just leaves you guys hanging with nothing.

16669  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do people think income tax is ok? on: January 20, 2014, 06:19:23 PM
I don't believe it would, either more cheaply or efficiently.

You're arguing against economics there bro... Are you saying that central planning is more efficient in general? Or is there something special about those services which means a free market can't deliver?

How so, bro? I find it ironic that the only people who usually peddle this big bad government / taxes are bad have little-to-no understanding of economics or the cost of the services they provide. They are more efficient, yes. I also don't know how you expect people to afford or have the time to pay for all these services that they may or may not use.

What happens to the people who can't afford all the services I mentioned above?

Well you'd think food and clothes would be their first priority, but nobody is asking the government to nationalise these services...

These people would need to rely on charity, as they do now, but that charity would be voluntary rather than coercive.

And when there isn't enough charity these people just what exactly? They die... freeze/starve/bleed to death etc. And you can buy clothes with your state benefits. You can't buy them with nothing. Charities currently struggle to feed and clothe the poor as it is, never mind once all their benefits have been taken away and there's hundreds of thousands more out on the streets and freezing and starving and bleeding all over the place.

I would like to recommend these films, some of them are underrated, but they are quite good. Unfortunately, they just lacked the hype that some other big films had. The films that I would recommend would be:

-Monster
-The Talented Mr. Ripley
-Big Nothing
-Insidious
-Shutter
-Let Me In

(I will edit this list from time to time to add new movies that I want to recommend)

Have you seen the original Let the Right One In? Both the book and film are fantastic.

Monster is great. Charlize Theron is probably my favourite actress.

They're building a cloud service so that you can play the PS3 games on the PS4, the last date I saw for it was Q4. I think it will be a download service but there isn't many details.

Yeah, but I don't want to pay to download games I already own or can buy cheaply second hand. Robbing bastards.

Maybe, only time will tell. I think we should keep the newbie section. It was a great way to spot spammers and spambots too since they were caged in there.
