Quote
In regards to my other part of my comment, if you agree to a specific deal and your offer is accepted prior to you withdrawing such offer (and a reasonable amount of time has not elapsed) then you have entered into a binding contract.

Not correct.

'Treitel defines an offer as "an expression of willingness to contract on certain terms, made with the intention that it shall become binding as soon as it is accepted by the person to whom it is addressed"'

Does the typical Bitcointalk account seller intend that?

In this hypothetical example you're using, erikalui is the seller and the person making the offer.

If erikalui does not intend for the contract to be binding the moment someone verbally accepts it, then it's not a formal offer but rather an invitation to sell. There's a fine difference.

Given that a high percentage of deals fall through over anonymous forums, then you will find that the courts will agree that the seller may reasonably intend acceptance to be conveyed through payment.

If you don't believe this, just look at Amazon.com.

(1) You add something to your cart
(2) You proceed through the checkout process
(3) The price of an item has increased, you are notified and prompted if you wish to continue the checkout process.
(4) You pay for the order

When does acceptance occur?

(Hint: It's at 4, not at 2).

tspacepilot is stalking Quickseller and trolling threads with off-topic personal attacks, based on disputed facts.

As here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=425135.msg11348612#msg11348612

And in another incident I've personally experienced, tspacepilot loves stirring up drama and trolling and has committed fraud.

Is his opinion even remotely valid?

People are missing the point.

Your smartphone won't mine on battery power. Your smartphone will mine when it's fully charged but still plugged into the power outlet. Let's say you leave your phone on your charger for 10 hours a day. Take 2.5 hours to charge, you have 7.5 hours of mining.

About the power costs: Will you really care if your smartphone uses $0.02 more worth of power per day?

21 will make money from their ecosystem, not from mining bitcoins.

Quickseller used ACCTSeller to troll me and, dig up dirt by talking to tradefortress, etc, before "discovering" the work of ACCTSeller when he logged in as Quickseller.  I think that's a lot like hidng behind another account.  I don't know what the deal is with you or why people are saying you and quickseller are alike/in each other's threads, etc.  I thought you were a reviewer of mining hardware, that's all I know about you.  Back to the OP, do you think it was cool for quickseller to give worhipper_-_ negative trust for refusing to do business with him?
Cool? Nah, it doesn't fit the criteria for negative feedback.

Is it abuse? No, her reasons for leaving him negative feedback is reasonable.

Added the article for Inputs.io. It was a bit rushed but I'll try and clean it up a bit later. Personally, I feel it might not belong in this wiki since the general consensus seems to be that TradeFortress was actually hacked and had no malicious intent but unfortunately, WikiHacks.org was already taken:

http://www.wikiscams.org/index.php?title=Inputs.io

I might add a subdomain (e.g. hacks.wikiscams.org) instead and move content like this there since I'm probably being a bit unfair to TF right now by putting his site next to ones like Stackcoin. Grin

Thank you for being fair with the coverage.

You had posted negative trust on tspacepilot that he defrauded coinchat. Do you have any evidence of him doing so? If so can you post such evidence?

TL;DR: he made a bot that copied stuff from wikipedia or something to collect the free BTC, and defrauded coins.

here's an email exchange where he wastes my time.

I seem to have been banned from coinchat.  What a shame, I was having such a lovely time.  Can I ask what happened?

Hi admin,

In #spacechat, I was trying to test out a bot.  What was the problem?

In any case, I enjoyed the site a lot and had a lot of fun chatting with others and playing with moobot.  If you don't want me around anymore, that's ok, I'll get over it.

I guess I might remind you that I asked several times about whether there were any rules I should know about.  You never got back to me on that.  Seems like I've broken some rule or made you angry in some way.

Still not sure what went wrong.

Best,

I know you know what the problem is, I'm not interested in BSing, but if you want to come back you'll need to return all the BTC you've withdrawn since you started running the bot.

Sounds good.  I think here's where I'm confused:

a) I don't know what the rules are
b) You are suggesting that I owe you something

If you can address (a) then I could be sure not to break these rules again.  Without knowing what the rules are it's hard to know that I'm not breaking them.  Without (b) it's hard to know what you think I owe you or how you came to that conclusion.

Can you be more specific about (a) and (b)?

Best,

a) Bots must be run from a specially designated bot account that does not earn tips.

b) Common sense tells you that the mBTC you've obtained from the bot is fraudulent, and it may also have infringed the copyright of whatever site you copied it from, as you were using it for a commercial purpose.

I'm not interested in wasting my time with BSing with you. You know exactly what you did wrong, and if you play dumb it's the last time I'll be talking to you.

That sounds fair, it's the first I've heard of it.  Is this the only rule?  Is it posted somewhere?  Is there a list of rules I can read and know about so that if we were to resolve our differences (sounding less likely given your tone) that I could be sure not to make you angry again.

I think that "fraud" is defined by juridical/legislative/governmental process, not "common sense".  Seems like you want to accuse me of something, but you won't go ahead and say what it is that you want to say.  Not sure why you're being evasive.

    and it may also have infringed the copyright of whatever site
    you copied it from, as you were using it for a commercial purpose.


I haven't copied anything.  I'm not sure what you mean here.  Several times you and I had conversations about your API and I told you that I was working on a bot.  I'm a relatively good programmer, and I enjoyed learning about node.js and experimenting with robots on your site. Given that I discussed what I was doing with you several times, I'm not sure why you're trying to accuse me of copying or "commercial purposes".  What sort of commerce to you suppose I'm involved in?  I'm not sure where you're going with this.

For all your crytic allegations here, you still haven't talked about how much you think I owe you or how you arrived at that number.  From what I can tell, your site gives out BTC for chatting.  I got some of that BTC and now you want it back.  Please let me know what I'm missing.


    *I'm not interested in wasting my time with BSing with you. You know
    exactly what you did wrong, and if you play dumb it's the last time I'll be

Also not interested in wasting time.  Seems like you got angry about something and you don't want to discuss it plainly.  If you change your mind, I'm all ears.  I really did enjoy your site and the community there.

The site gives you free mBTC for *chatting*, not for bots.

See here for a list of the rules http://glados.cc/coinchat.html

You've withdrawn 213 mBTC (0.213 BTC) after your first withdraw, and that is the amount you need to send back if you would like to be unbanned from coinchat.

Well, I don't believe that's correct, a very small percentage of my chatting was autogenerated and none of it was done with bad intentions.
Secondarily, I only started experimenting with autogenerated chatting over the last week, and I think I've been a member for over a month.

Oh well, it seems my love affair with coinchat was brief and passionate.

Best of luck in your endeavors.  If you ever change your mind...

Also, nice style on that page.  I really like the notepad.

And yes, I had 2FA on the linode, but they were able to get in via Lish which did not ask for 2FA at that time (still not sure if it does).

1) charging miners for the cost of network transfer
2) charging transaction creators for the cost of network storage (if their UXTOs are not spent / not feasibly spendable)
3) removing the blocksize limit altogether.

2) can be addressed by a 1 satoshi per day fee on all outputs less than 5460 satoshi UXTOs. Within a day this will prune all the 1 satoshi spam from the blockchain. The 5460 satoshi threshold can be halved every block cycle until eventually this fee no longer applies.

A $2 coffee or $20 remittance to Africa doesn't belong in the same dataset as billion dollar trans-institutional settlements.  If you insist they must cohabitate, Bitcoin will collapse under its own weigh, a hypertrophic dinosaur victim of its own success ready to die in the nearest tar pit or meteor crater. 

Yes they do.

Quote
Commerce on the Internet has come to rely almost exclusively on financial institutions serving as
trusted third parties to process electronic payments. While the system works well enough for
most transactions, it still suffers from the inherent weaknesses of the trust based model.
Completely non-reversible transactions are not really possible, since financial institutions cannot
avoid mediating disputes. The cost of mediation increases transaction costs, limiting the
minimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small casual transactions.

What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust,
allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with each other without the need for a trusted
third party.
-Satoshi
https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

Every single transaction that pays the cost per kB belongs in the blockchain, and the cost per kB should be low enough to make all reasonable transactions feasible. A $2 cup of coffee belongs in the blockchain every bit as much as a $200 payment.

What we need is:

1) charging miners for the cost of network transfer
2) charging transaction creators for the cost of network storage (if their UXTOs are not spent / not feasibly spendable)
3) removing the blocksize limit altogether.

Exactly what block size the network can support is very much debatable. I currently think that 10 MB would be fine and 50 MB would be too much, though these are mostly just feelings. There should be more rigorous study of the actual limits of the network. (Gavin's done some nice work on the software/hardware front, though I'm still worried about the capabilities of typical Internet connections, and especially how they'll increase over time.)

Exactly. 30 kBps upload is common in Australia, and you sure should be able to run a full node in a typical internet connection in Australia, or Brazil, or Philippines, or whatever. The block size needs to be useful for the (lowest reasonable) common denominator, not the median.

IMO 10 MB is too much, maybe 5 MB.
