This would never work because of potential bought accounts.

It has been said on here that there are noobs scamming other noobs, however I doubt these are real loans, but rather the same person "lending" money from account to account to build reputation. I think most people see right through this.

The solution should be to have some kind of acknowledgment that a user much click through that gives a list of best practices prior to accessing the lending forum each day. This would essentially force anyone in the lending forum to see what the best practices are to potentially prevent from being scammed. 

This sounds a lot like a ponzi, it also smells a lot like a ponzi, and it looks like a ponzi. I am not saying that it is a ponzi but.....

When you have a job, you go to work and perform the work that your boss asks you to do in exchange for your salary. I would agree that this is not a "job" but rather members here are more like independent contractors.

When people are paid by the post they have an incentive to post more, and to not post things that would likely be read (meaning a lot of spam) this would cause the effectiveness of each post to go down.

I think that payment per activity is much better as long as the min post per month is not too low or high. This will get members to post enough so stunna gets more "bang" for his "buck"

I think that some people make dup posts/threads because they think the conversation went in the wrong direction or they think that they left out some important piece of information.

IMO there are several, good intentioned reasons to make dup posts, and I would say a lot of them are posted because of lack of understanding of the rules.

I would say that as long as the campaign is paying for posting on these forums it would belong here regardless of how they pay you. Even if a campaign were to pay in say LTC users could easily have the payment address be sent to an exchange and have the coins be automatically converted to BTC.

In the US you are generally not able to buy bitcoin with your phone. There are some places in the world where this is supported, however you would only be able to purchase small amounts. You should expect to pay prices that are way above the market rate as well because charges to your phone bill can be disputed (read: reversed)

This is not happening yet, but I would argue that it will likely happen in the future when a lot more large merchants start to accept bitcoin and more merchants start to offer discounts for buying with bitcoin

Throwing anything at his face is assault and could get you arrested. If you were to throw hot coffee in his face he would likely get seriously injured and you would likely end up in jail for a long time. 

This is really not accurate as the money that would be stolen would not otherwise be used to save children's lives. There is not enough medical infrastructure in the third world to spend this kind of money performing this kind of expensive procedures in the "third world"

Most children that die in the third world do not die from treatable medical issues, but rather from not being able to eat enough, or from untreatable disease or from a simple medical issue that goes untreated because even simple medical treatment is not available.    

I have no interest in buying any forum accounts, however two months is really not a long time to make your money back and then some. There are few other investment opportunities that will allow you to make this kind of money.

One thing that I could suggest would be to provide incentives to users to change their signature each day for the "10 days until PD3" signatures that you had posted on here ~a week ago.

Since you now have the ability to check everyone's signature you could check to see if everyone updated it and if so then credit them a certain bonus, maybe 0.005 BTC per day, starting at 10 days before PD3 is launched and maybe a .02 BTC bonus for users who change their signature everyday. You could potentially pay this ahead of schedule a few days after PD3 launches to give members an even bigger incentive to keep their signature updated.

For a way to cut down on the spam and increase the quality of posts, I would suggest something to the effect of maybe 75% of the maximum payout (as of now) in exchange for a minimum of 100 constructive posts for the month.

For example senior members can now make up to 0.48 BTC per month (.0012 * 400 posts = .48) so you could change to a flat payout of .36 (0.48 * 0.75 = 0.36 BTC) as long as the member posts at least 100 posts. Going through the payment TX, it appears that the vast majority of members were paid for at least 100 posts. If you wanted to keep a 50 post minimum then you could use a 2nd tier of payouts for members who post between 50 and 99 posts for the month, maybe 66% of the new max payout for 100+ posts for the month.

Another option would be to pay per activity so that, on average a certain ranking member would receive the same amount for posting, say at least 100 posts for the month. The problem with this method is that, a full member with 120 activity for example would receive a larger pay cut while a full member with 239 activity would receive a less pay cut (or possibly an increase) and some may think this would be unfair.

These are just suggestions as to how to change the payout structure to increase post quality. While "eyeballing" the payout TX, it looks like that few members received the max payout, so I would think that these percentages would make it so few members would actually receive a pay cut.

This is really not something you should be trying to do if you are trying to profit.

I would recommend coinbase if you are located in the US. You will need to verify your identity and link your bank account with your coinbase account. You can purchase bitcoin in terms of dollars, meaning that you can simply buy exactly $3,000 worth of bitcoin as you can divide bitcoin up to 8 decimal places.

The only time you have to pay any fees is when you send bitcoin from one address to another, these fees go to the miners who help secure the network. Many exchanges will charge you some kind of trading fee, while coinbase will charge a "spread" or the difference between the buying and selling price. Overall it is much cheaper to spend and use bitcoin then it is to spend fiat, but the costs are much more transparent to you.

This is correct, your risk is much higher as you are dealing with a stranger. It would probably be best if you used something like coinbase for your first few purchases of bitcoin and continue to use a service like coinbase until you better understand how bitcoin works. Once a transaction is confirmed by the network is not reversible (there are exceptions to this, however they involve an attack against the network and are difficult to pull off)

This will likely give people in China a greater incentive to hold and use bitcoin for a larger percentage of their purchases.

If paypal acts as an escrow service like they do now then it will probably be full of scammers the same way that paypal is full of scammers now

What about loans that, after the money is spent, the money ends up in cash (as in paper fiat money) instead of funds in a bank account?

This is true, however the effect would be greater if people actually had to be using their heat for their homes. Instead of using their furnace, they could simply strategically place miners throughout their home to keep their house warm, they would use the same amount of electricity but would earn some bitcoin in the process. 

If you take the average of the 3% increase and the previous 25% increase then the total increase for the two periods is roughly the same as if the difficulty increased 14% both periods.

I think that Hamas is trying to maximize civilian victims in order to make Israel look bad to the rest of the world. They have always targeted civilians and have no intention of ever having any kind of peace.

Do you care to elaborate? The press in eastern europe and in russia is far from free and is controlled/influenced by the governments there, on the other hand the press in the US does not answer to the government in any way.
