181  Economy / Digital goods / Re: High rank BTCT Account for lease for sig campaign use.. on: August 15, 2016, 07:58:23 PM
What if account banned for spamming or used for scam?
If you give your account details how you will ensure it won't used for illegal activities or sold to another person?
Well why not just straight up lend it out for scams?  ...kidding.

It's a good point,  this sounds like a viable business model,  except you would probably need a deposit or something to make that kind of scenario less likely.  I know OP said "no scammers" but that's silly.  They're not going away because of a weak little sign you have up.

I'd like to nominate wine132, who is currently applying for the secondstrade campaign, and even though he might not get accepted,  he will no doubt try others and contin.  to befoul this fine forum.  I have reported some of his posts already.

Specifically,  this user's posts have no capitalization,  no punctuation,  are in poor English,  and repeat the same thing over and over while daying absolutely nothing.   The posts are rushed and obviously done only to get paid. 
183  Economy / Lending / Re: Loan needed 5$ on: August 15, 2016, 12:58:37 AM
I need 5$ btc
Actually I want to buy something online and its price is 50$ USD and currently I have only 45.43$ in my btc wallet I will pay back 6$ in 7 days
And tell me what type of collateral is accepted I have a twitter account with 14.2k followers and this bitcointalk account too my btc account is potential full member account with good post quality
A twitter account isn't considered collateral, but you can offer your btc account as collateral (just looking for someone who want take btc acc as collateral), but you should prove too if you're the real owner of that acc by sign a messages.

right, and i would consider filling this loan, but

1; i dont agree with buying/selling of accounts on here, leaving you zero collateral.
2; you have no address on your profile, or ever mentioned in your post history, meaning no way to verify you are even the owner.
And we have had alot of hacked accounts lately stirring drama ;/
But I am the real owner of it so u tell how can I prove you that I m the real owner??
Actually I m asking for only 5$ and I don't think anyone will scam for such a little amount but if u guys think that I do that then just leave it and I leave the thing that I want to purchase I just tried but it's ok
But that's exactly what all scammers say.  Can you not just ask a family member or friend?  Do you not have a credit card?  Can you not wait a week to buy this thing?  These are the questions I'm wondering.  You're new and already borrowing, and you're not familiar with the rules.

Your post quality is extremely poor, and it's obvious you're only posting to rank up and get paid.  I just reported about 7 of your posts as being shitposts.  You're not going to be on this forum long, much less getting paid to post on it.

I can do $20 PP, who sends first?   Escrow is kind of useless with PayPal.
186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling vs Betting on: August 14, 2016, 05:09:03 PM
I don't see much of a difference.   Gamblers tend to think they have way more control over outcomes than they actually do.  You might have a poorer chance of winning placing bets.

Looks like OP made the thread to complain about this and then abandoned it.  My guess is that they came through like they always do.   They're legit.

I realize I'm not trusted on the forum yet, but if you want to take a chance on me, I'd be interested in buying 0.3.
189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you like slot games ? on: August 13, 2016, 06:34:28 PM
Only in Las Vegas. They have great prices there and many different various slot games.

But online, its not really as much fun. Its better if its a physical slots game.
Been to Vegas and it's great.  You can play slots right in the airport, and yes I do enjoy them.  They're an easy way to gamble and a mindless, zen way to waste time.  There's something to be said for things like that.  But as far as bitcoin slots go, nope.  Haven't and wouldn't do them.
190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling made for kids???? on: August 13, 2016, 06:23:12 PM
Kids, with their still developing brainsKama are not built for gambling. They rely so much on their emotions in much less on logical thought processes. Most of them, anyway. So I don't think children should be gambling by any means. I think it's dangerous, and most kids don't have the money to spare. 
191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Africans Can Utilize Bitcoin... on: August 13, 2016, 06:18:51 PM
I'm an African (I'm from Algeria - North Africa) and I use Bitcoin and I also don't see the point of this thread , or what you are trying to achieve here.
An African would use Bitcoin like everyone else (like any other human) , unless you are racist of course , but I guess this is just another "Does man use bitcoin" "does girls use bitcoin" "does your family use bitcoin" thread.


my advice for africans is that, when  lots of bitcoin are owned invest with it and cloud mining with it, so as to generate more bitcoin....africans have got to take btc seriously as others do..!!!!


This is probably the worst advice you could give to someone using Bitcoin "use cloud mining" . Almost everyone on the forums knows that Cloudmining are 99% a scam. If you join soon , you earn otherwise you are pretty much screwed.
Cool, it's nice to interact with people from around the world. 

Africa is perceived as a continent full of relatively poor countries by much of the rest of the world.  The question might be, how would countries that have trouble with hunger and clean drinking water find bitcoin useful.  Don't know if that's a fair question or not.  It has less to do with race than economic condition.  Unless bitcoin is accepted at stores I would think it wouldn't be widely used.  But that's true of the other continents as well.
192  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Whats happened to Cryptsy. on: August 13, 2016, 12:42:42 AM
RIP Cryptsy.  A good exchange while it lasted, but people were calling it a scam for quite a while anyway.  OP, you'll find a lot of the stuff that's gone on in the world of crypto since you've been gone very, very interesting.  A lot of drama, definitely. 
193  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Best ways to complete acquiring the final 90% my goal of 1 BTC? on: August 13, 2016, 12:39:10 AM
Refer to my thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1566754.msg15872740#msg15872740


Another way is to research some ICOs, find the right one, and put everything you have into it. It is not uncommon for some of these new coins to go up several fold.
Agree with above, that is, or could be, suicide.  People thought WAVES was going to the moon but that didn't happen, and you could have lost a lot of bitcoin on that one.  A lot of these others have much less going for them in terms of community and dev support, and there's no way in hell a rational person would put everything into an ICO.  That is pure gambling and is definitely high risk.
194  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: what will it take for traders to use honest exchanges? on: August 13, 2016, 12:35:24 AM
I tend to use Circle for bitcoin purchases, and I've never bought bitcoin or any other coin with USD on any exchange.  Poloniex is regulated legitimately, isn't it?  I've never bought bitcoin on that one but I've traded ETH on it.

We are still in the wild west stage of crypto, even though bitcoin has been around for 7 years so far, or thereabouts.  I think there's a gambling mentality that permeates much of this, and a lot of people are willing to risk their money on these exchanges even with all the hacks. 
195  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Preev Alternative on: August 12, 2016, 07:11:22 PM
I stopped using preev a while back,  simply because I just use the quote on Mycelium, which is the bitstamp quote.  It's close enough for me.  Preev is definitely a great site though,  don't get me wrong.   It's good there's a clone in case the original site goes down.
196  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gambling is Exploding on: August 11, 2016, 01:40:50 AM
Was to be expected to happen right? I mean, in countries where gambling is illegal, bitcoin offers the perfect solution without any direct traces to your fiat accounts.
That could be true, depending on how you buy your bitcoin.  If you buy thru an exchange like Circle, they will most definitely find out you're gambling.  If you're in the US, they'll likely close your account.  I've seen that happen.  The best strategy is to get them as anonymously as possible and not get scammed doing so.

Bitcoin and gambling are tailor made for each other.  Not surprising what's in the article.
197  Other / Off-topic / Re: du you spend coins on real life. on: August 11, 2016, 01:28:33 AM
Where in the US can you actually use bitcoin to buy anything normal?  The only places I know to spend bitcoin are online.  And no, I haven't spent any in real life and haven't yet had to.  The USD hasn't hyperinflated yet and bitcoin hasn't yet taken over.  Don't think it's ever going to, but in any case I can't find a restaurant or convenience store to spend bitcoin at.  I think if I saw one of those signs "we accept bitcoin" on a shop's wall I'd definitely do it just for the novelty.
198  Economy / Speculation / Re: 666 barrier on: August 10, 2016, 06:19:01 PM
I think this is accumulation stage and not a barrier price it is constant because whales want to keep on accumulating as much bitcoin they can because pump in price is quite sure after few months from this point.
or not, sometimes people just like to see this number so they try the price to be bouncing around about it though it is not good for the bitcoin

When the price of bitcoin trade around a centre point, that is a kind of price stability, I think it is good for mass adoption.
I agree with that statement,  though stabilizing at 666 (which we're not currently at) would funny at best, a turnoff to the religious crowd at worst.  Otoh, part of the reason so many people are into bitcoin is that there's a chance to make money by hodling, and for that we need an upward trajectory of the price.   I myself am not looking for stability because I don't spend bitcoin.  If we get back to $666, I'll be happy.
199  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are bitcoin ATMs worth using? on: August 10, 2016, 04:47:32 AM
Because of the fees, it's a turn off for me. I wouldn't use them.

If you need them ASAP, localbitcoin seems legit.
There's really nothing I'd need to buy with bitcoin that would take an atm to get.  It's a novel concept, but those fees are absolutely ridiculous.   But then again,  think about it:  Normal, non geek types would buy bitcoin in exactly this way.  We might not because we're bitcointalk savvy and aren't afraid to use these sketchy exchanges.   Mom and pop might not, and they're familiar with atms.  So not a bad thing, but I wouldn't use one.
200  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it a good long term investment to buy 1 BTC today? on: August 09, 2016, 11:27:05 PM
Man, if you invested in 1BTC in October 2015 you'd have done pretty damn well.  It's always easy to look in the rearview mirror and blab about what could have been, but it takes stones to actually make a prediction and act on it in the present.  I'm hoping the bitcoin I bought at $590 or so doesn't turn out to be a stinker.  But you never know, and we'll see in a few years what hindsight brings us.
