Solid advice. Though I doubt that many (if any) Legendary level accounts have been sold, I am sure many JR-SR and even some hero level accounts have so checking the post history is the best way to be safe.

Most miners are dumpers for the simple reason that they have massive electric bills to pay every month.

Just because someone is a part of a signature campaign doesn't mean that they are only posting to promote said signature!

Personally, I am more turned off by people who put their Bitcoin and Litecoin addresses in their signature hoping for a handout 

That's an easy one: transaction time, transaction time and transaction time.

Imagine if everything was the same except  your transactions confirmed instantly (or almost instantly). The transaction times are really the only problem I see with Bitcoin in it's current form.

I guess blockchain size as well, but that's not the main thing as most people are using online or light clients anyway.

HAHA, WTF? Is someone using a doorstop to cut that loaf of bread?!

I would go so far as saying that Bitcoin is the best application developed for use on the Internet to date.

I have been hodling it safely in my local wallet 

The best promotion is adoption by large online companies. All we need is Amazon and Ebay and then anyone who hasn't heard of Bitcoin will!

I agree, I love the logo - it is like a cog from nature! Great job gvans!

It would be awesome though.... coders all around the world constantly improving and enhancing Bitcoin. But the logistics would be a nightmare.

People should be able to do whatever they damn well please with THEIR money!

I sure hope this is released as a torrent or at least a very low cost digital download, payable in BTC of course 

I wouldn't be surprised at all if one day some alphabet soup agency sets up a honey pot on localbitcoins and goes after people doing large transactions. They'll simply say that those people are big bad terrorists.

Is there going to be any sort of formal questioning of Karpeles? I mean, it is so obvious that at the very least he has committed a massive fraud... to think he will just file bankruptcy and get away with it is truly sickening!

To hell with Ghash, it is a disgrace to the entire philosophy behind Bitcoin!

It sure seems like the traditional banking system is shooting themselves in the foot. The question is, can they really be that oblivious or is it part of a bigger plan?

I can't remember where but somewhere I read that Rose is a big supporter of Peercoin.

The Screensavers forever!!

Not at all because if you look at the people who will be bidding it is obvious that they will be hodling, not dumping 

The thing is that Bitcoin has an entire economy around it and has provided countless people with employment so I don't think it is fair to look at it like some sort of pyramid scheme that requires more and more people to keep piling in.

To me, to say it is unethical to profit from Bitcoin would be the same as saying it is unethical to profit off of gold or real estate.

I have also tried to introduce it to some friends and coworkers but they usually feel that they just aren't "technical" enough and/or unwilling to take on the risk. The technical issues will go away over time with easier and easier to use wallets and services, but as for the exchange rate risk.... I don't have a response for that one.
