Wow, that's a strict handling of these things. Sounds risky taking part since you never know what happens with you so that it might be unavoidable that you can't post. Then you wouldn't only lose the income but the campaign too.
Will you be banned from the campaign completely?
If you fail to meet minimum quota, you may or may not be given a warning depending on your previous post quality and slots available. However you will be paid for your posts before being dismissed. You may reapply after 7 days. Ok, then i don't fear since i know my post quality is great.  |

Is this real or photoshop? When real then this is huge. I think the type of business is not the best but certainly bitcoins have advantages that support the area in which these businesses act. So this kind of persons playing with bitcoins surely will bring adoption forward. Nice. |

Wasn't there a thread where you posted in already. Someone wanted to sell the same Auto Trader. You came to it so that you could show proof. And now you create a new thread and promote the same software. See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1087208Surely you are not the one who want's to sell his bot.  Notice how subsequent posts didn't address your observation. I, for one, would give up fuckin' goats for a week to prove that your sentiment is incorrect. But that's just me. EDIT: I just realized that this is a martingale system. I retract my sentiment. Where do I send my moneys? BTW, did they steal this genius system from Leroy Fodor? You know... you will be rich soon... I only now realize that the topic was moved into Off-Topic. Guess that's why you found it. I know you practically only are on this subforum. |

What happens when i can't reach 20 posts in a week? Are the posts rolled over to next week or am i thrown out of the campaign. If so, when i think i won't make it, should i better sign out before?
It wont be rolled over and you will only be kicked if you dont meet the quota more than two weeks in a row Wow, that's a strict handling of these things. Sounds risky taking part since you never know what happens with you so that it might be unavoidable that you can't post. Then you wouldn't only lose the income but the campaign too. Will you be banned from the campaign completely? |

What do you mean with false positives?
Adding someone elses bitcoin address (as watch only ofc) will create wrong assumptions when someone wants to detect which address are yours and how much bitcoin you have. Is this a feature of Multibit? I'm not aware that this can be done with Electrum, for example. Or do you speak about posting addresses? Sounds risky, if such address can be connected to other addresses that belong to a spammer then you might get red trust. Of course one could simply use an address from a websites wallet. You can do this with Electrum, I posted a link above. I nearly did not find your link about the cold wallets but the link about false positive addresses i can't find at all. Can you give the link again or point me to the thread you posted it in? |

Bitcoin has no inherent value. Cost for creation and time doesn't matter as long as bitcoiners wouldn't believe bitcoins are worth what they are. Take that believe away and they are worth nothing. So these two answers doesn't matter really.
It's different from other things like bread or something that has a value outside of being a currency.
food and stuff like that have not an intrinsic value, they are only mandatory thing, which i find it to be different, in reality nothing has a real intrinsic value because, everything is only backed up by demand everyhing is relative, for example for a robot foods is useless and thus it has no value at all Though it's a difference. If you have bread then you can eat it in worst case. When you have bitcoins and no one wants them then you have nothing. The same goes for fiat paper. Things you need for your life, like things to eat, have a value in it's own. You don't need to sell them, you don't have to care about someone wanting it, you can use it for yourself. they still have a relative value, not an absolute value, nothing has an absolute value, and with bitcoin if you think about it it's actually the same you can build something on the blockchain that would help to speed up your activity, if you need to move information to another side for example Yes, a relative value. But that value is given to them because they act as a currency. Sure, bread is worthless to some maybe, but its worth is not lying in the believe that it's worth something. It's really worth something, it's independent from what others think about what it's worth. Bitcoin only has value because others believe so. So the value of bitcoin is given to them by believe. Other things though have a value that is independent of believe. And the blockchain is bound to bitcoin. Without bitcoin the blockchain would stop to exist. It wouldn't matter anything anymore if it cost money and time to create bitcoins. It can be simply proven by checking out certain altcoins that dropped dead. No one cares anymore that they should have value because someone put work into it. If one would go with that argument then someone could build a house of mud and claim it has to have value since he worked 3 hours on it. It simply doesn't work that way. |

Looks like the more these spam takes place, the more price will go up to make the spam costlier. We just tested 295 on preev. Price has touched 357 USD on Huobi. Keep spamming  I don't think that the spammers are affected by the bitcoin price. They most probably have their stash of coins and they don't buy them at an exchange on the run. The costs are the same regardless of the bitcoin price. I wonder who does the spam. Does Hearn and Gavin have big pockets? They want their Bitcoin XT. Maybe they funded this. |

If we didn't think it has value then I doubt we would be here. Bitcoin has more value than fiat currency which is essentially made up monopoly money that banks print on their own whim. At least bitcoin is decentralized. I think all currency should be created in such a way but obviously that's not in the interests of the powers that be. Bitcoin has no inherent value.
Surely you can argue the blockchain has a value outside of bitcoin. Many things can be built on top of it so there's value there. Though the blockchain is only as good as bitcoin is. When bitcoin crashes then the miners don't have their reward, which will bring the usefullness of the blockchain down too. |

Minimum-wage laws make it illegal for low-skilled people to work.
It makes it only illegal to not pay low-skilled people enough. So when they need to get paid more then either these businesses die, then they were not strong enough from the start, or they charge higher prices for their services. If the business is needed then in fact they will survive. And the workers can buy their food. Doesn't sound like the worst thing to me. Regardless of what is "enough" or how much they "need", a business will not pay a person more than they are worth. If a person is not worth the wage dictated by minimum wage, then they will not work. The minimum wage laws make it illegal to pay some people what they are worth, and thus prevents them from working. Your argument that people should be paid "enough" or what they "need" is really just an argument that low skilled people should be subsidized. In that case, a basic income guarantee is more appropriate than a minimum wage. Yes, a basic income is a good idea to let people live and decide more free. Even the most liberal parties already thought about that idea. Though paying the low educated people what they are worth is simply not correct. You only need to look at the countries that go "liberalizing" former regulated markets. For example if the bus drivers have a fixed amount of money then they get paid less and that's it. Ticket prices don't drop, they only get paid less. You say their worth is less worth then? The same people use the busses, nothing changed, only they get less money. At the end they have so few that they can't nurture their family and they go and need money from the government on top. Which is... our tax payers money. At the end the busdrivers have less money, the government has less money, and the taxpayer has to pay for it, while some buscompanies CEO gets a reward for raising the company profits. Doesn't sound like "the" clever plan. |

BTCJam is good. You can achieve up to 20% profit per year though you risk losing money too when you lend to the wrong person. Make sure that you only lend to "safe bets". It would not make sense to lend, in order to earn more, when you risk to have lost something at the end.

Thanks for explaining to me Muhammed Zakir. I didn't know that Multibit has unencrypted traffic. :O
See jim618's above post. But i think electrum is more dangerous. I mean an attacker only would need to set up a server and he would get all the wallet addresses. Im not sure if a wallet needs to connect to him first but the auto connect is enabled by default. And when it's disabled then im still not sure if electrum isn't sometimes connecting to the other servers.
So i think electrum is a mess anonymitywise.
You can choose an Electrum server manually and to create false-positive, you can add watch-only addresses to your Electrum. Nonetheless, both Multibit and Electrum has its own downsides. You will have to make right choice. http://www.thomasmonaco.com/electrum-vs-multibit-bitcoin-thin-client-comparison/ maybe helpful. Note that, this article compares Multibit Classic and Electrum not Multibit HD. What do you mean with false positives? The thing is that you never know who is behind an electrum server. Could be someone who wants to know what addresses are in certain wallets and wants to do whatever with it. |

Wouldn't these spamtransactions be lost after some time when no miner includes them in a block?
Miners love these txs because the fee is 0.0002 per kb today  Doesn't sound like they could get rich from it since these are huge transactions isn't it? And the total fees wouldn't be worth it i think. I wonder what i would do as a miner. There are some that don't include any transaction because they then have an advantage propagating their block with the nodes. They don't care about the fees at all. |

@bitcoinmasterlord:
Hmm — I did manually back up the whole blockchain, of course after having shut down the BTC client.
The next day my computer crashed while bitcoin-qt.exe was running, thus corrupting the blockchain.
After restarting I kept the wallet (there had been a few transactions since the backup), but restored everything else (e.g. the whole blockchain including indices).
This procedure was working fine with client v9.x; it took a quarter of an hour to catch up on the latest blocks and everything was working again.
The same procedure (full backup and full restore except the wallet.dat) failed miserably after I upgraded to Bitcoin client v10.x. Unavoidably and strictly reproducibly the program told me of a corrupted index and started to re-index the whole blockchain, taking at least a quarter of a day to get up to date and being able to perform any transactions.
Putting that procedure into a kind of scheduled batch script ain't no problem, however I seriously doubt it solves the problem described. Looks like the wallet.dat (or the registry?) carries some time stamp of last block or so, and if that doesn't match with the time stamp of the last block (or index?) actually found on the HDD, in client v10.x the blockchain index is automatically considered corrupted, even if it is perfectly legit at the backup time.
Does sound like no fun dealing with. I don't know why they don't allow to check the old blockchain data. I mean its most probably not fully corrupted. Backing up the whole directories into a winrar archive is no solution? You would lose a day of things but at least no full reload. And when you have such problems, then downloading a blockchain file directly from the net doesn't work too, i guess. Maybe ask about that in the wallet subforum again? |

You might consider that businesses that can't pay enough to pay their workers might have been a wrong business model from the start. I mean you could pay workers like the inmates in a prison but this only can survive with certain circumstances. That is, no choice to work different things.
At the end... state has to make sure that the citizens can eat and live. And it's unecononomical when employees has to get money from the state on top only so that they can survive. That would be supporting unhealthy businessforms. And every taxpayer has to pay for it.
Surely that won't work.
At the end a minimum wage is something good in an environment where there are less jobs than workers. The power is simply not balanced so that the workers can be exploited. I mean people having to do three jobs and it's still not enough? Nothing justifies that. The state, so in fact every citizen, should take care about all other citizens too. Otherwise the state has to pay for it with monetary bonuses or costs for sick people and so on.
