I vouch for Quickseller too, though most of the time I just read and read how he bust and uncover those potential scams that could probably affect the community, especially the newbies. I think his reports (1600+ reports with 95% accuracy) is over-qualified for a position of a mod and he's always active as far as I can see. But still, it is for theymos to decide whether he'll accept a new moderator or not. The local languages boards seemed to be not that moderated appropriately, a Global Mod maybe could help fix things in there?
... but it is necessary to know some languages. |

Just report the post and write in the comment that the user is spamming referrals all around, if you want.
The staff will check and see by themselves and do their job, usually quick.
He has already been *banned and the other users have already replied to the OP so why are you still spamming your useless reply  ? Really insane .... *Autoban user: N/A in topic #0 by member #77633 ( https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php) |

It's bitcointalk forum and not any other forum . Accounts here have a value depends ont he Rank because they can enroll on signature compaigns and get paid and accounts can even have sensitive informations on them .
So for what comes to the 45 seconds if we are speaking about the Login form then it's most likely to prevent Cracking because cracking became easy those days and people become more and more familliar with it using Sentry MBA and other cracking programs and maybe also for not having so much load , for what comes to posting then this dissapear with time and with your Activity rising and it's for preventing spam from new accounts .
I do not think the 45 seconds of delay between the login it is not due the value of accounts, but only for a security reason. If someone will gain (easily) the access of a community trusted account then he can do a lot of damage. |

It's been dawning on me for some time that there is one thing that businesses must hate.. credit card fees. So with this in mind why is mainstream adoption taking so long!
Bitcoin is not a "product" to move into an empty market. Bitcoin needs to gain market share in a saturated market. It has to compete with already successful systems like PayPal, Credit Cards, Western Union. You cannot deny that paying with credit cards is so easy and free (for consumers). So many people use credit cards to the extent that businesses will loose customers if they do not accept credit cards. How can bitcoin compete with that? Mainstream adoption is coming along. It will take time. First, we need more people worldwide to own bitcoin. Secondly, a way for them to use bitcoin very easily. I expect it too be much much easier than camera and qrcode, and less worries about being hacked and confirmation times. Until that happen, bitcoin can only be an online payment system in a niche market.Exactly, like I said previously : At the end it is only about knowledge... If bitcoin is not better (so ... easy and secure to use) than any other method of payment, how can we take to see it 'mainstream'? |

The biggest issue I see with the mainstream adoption of bitcoin is the lengthy time it takes for confirmations. Credit and debit cards will always be much faster than bitcoin.
at some point in the future the core devs can decide to include faster confirmation times to stimulate mainstream adoption. i only think it will take several years, if ever. Simulate mainstream adoption? What are you talking about? Bitcoin is a valid alternative to send large quantitative of 'value' from point-A to point-B, without trust a third party service (like WU, moneygram, VISA, etc...). Think to use bitcoin for buy a caffe ( and multiply this action * 3-4 bln of people) is really insane (but maybe possible, who knows). |

oki, so it seems, that the Useless user called Amph will never ever come back again or reply...he did his useless post, post is counted, so why he should even bother himself..?
....
I don't want to "defend" him but if the admin have not banned him then I think there is a reason behind that choice, or am I wrong? Amph does make qualitative posts but at the same time he spams. Mods may gave a warning to Amph or maybe they are in doubt whether to ban him or not.I do not think the admin is in doubt to ban him or not, I think he is fine with his posts and for this reason the admin has never warned or banned him. It is really impossible to write all the time a 'qualitative" (or maybe constructive) post... because I think you know that constructive is a subjective thing. |

I was one of the users who were 'wearing' a sig-ad so I know what you are feeling now... you are angry because he is posting so much and you no (right?)
nope, I'm angry, that even interesting discussions are flooded with 90% of useless posts and the Useless user is the most visible one..I had nothing against him personally at all. As I already mentioned earlier, he is literally product of current set of rules (almost no moderation, pay per post, no post cap) I'm basically fine with signature campaigns concept generally (because I know, that there is almost no way how to stop it), but I simply hate, that majority (and yes, it is about 70-80%) users here posting just to post something and they don't give a flying fuck, what they composed. Just check some threads here, read them post by post (you can use the one posted few lines above as example), and you will maybe realize, what is the point. When I joined, it was really different, now it slowly become post-hunt uncontrolled nest..I agree with you when you said "but I simply hate, that majority (and yes, it is about 70-80%) users here posting just to post something and they don't give a flying fuck, what they composed." and this is one of the reason because I have removed the signature ad and I've stopped to participate to the sig. campaigns. It is not our decision to say what is constructive or not, maybe the admin thought "he is not spamming useless posts, so I will not ban him to post or send personal message here in the forum" who knows? redsn0w! You're the man! (or team) If you..are...you.. lol Im guessing so with the kookie pineapple avatar  I used to use your jailbreak software all the time. Great work. No you are wrong, however we're off topic. |

I don't want to "defend" him but if the admin have not banned him then I think there is a reason behind that choice, or am I wrong? admin also didn't banned accounts, which are owned by "companies" like BlackArrow, KNC or BFL. I can also see, that accounts with dozens trusted negative feedback notes are not banned at all. I'm not sure, if your argument is valid at this point, because bans (at least based on my personal impressions) are more or less rare event here.. I was one of the users who were 'wearing' a sig-ad so I know what you are feeling now... you are angry because he is posting so much and you no (right?). However for the question about the scammer(s), it is a simple concept : if you would ban an user who have scammed someone, you will not (obviously) forbid him to create a new account. |

BTC-E allows leverage, and this means that:
- some people have used it to go long
- they can be wiped out by forcing the price down to trigger automatic margin call
- some (other) people have access to the information on the margin call limits, either accurately or by deduction
- selling as much as to trigger the cascade, and then buying them back cheaper from the cascade, is called $$$ (profit)
- no real BTC need to be involved at all, because the operation happens completely in the exchange internal system
Wow. That's diabolical. Guess u always should set a stop loss for margin trades. maybe i should sent btc to btce and sell there and set buy order at 133 so i can double my bitcoin ? what could go wrong ? Nothing  , good luck... at the moment it is better to hold (imho). |

Nothing new here... BTC-E has those spikes (up/down) before... Don't think there will be another spike, because btc-e team will prevent it. Give it an hour and the price will be back at 280$. Only an hour ? I don't think 1 hour is enough ... maybe 2-3 hours (who knows, it is only speculation). |

Hey guys,
It's been dawning on me for some time that there is one thing that businesses must hate.. credit card fees. So with this in mind why is mainstream adoption taking so long! We're not saying invalidate fiat currency and only accept BTC or Alt-coin but businesses don't seem to want to touch it?
What do you guys think the real issue is? Education among consumers and businesses? Volatile BTC price?
Tully
IMO it can have a couple of reasons: the most important one is the volatility, nobody wants to spend something that can worth a lot more tomorrow. and nobody feels right accepting something that can worth a lot less tomorrow. the solution for this is dumping bitcoin for fiat as soon as received, but this is an extra step while they can accept cash in the first place. the other thing is that bitcoin is not mass adopted by users. so even if a business starts accepting bitcoin there aren't many people who know about it let alone willing to use bitcoin.
At the end it is only about knowledge, there are some people that have never used a (debit, credit, prepaid...) card ... and most important they do not know how to use a computer and/or surf internet. So before start to think "bitcoin mainstream" we should teach those people how to use a computer and explain to them why bitcoin is better than the actual economic system (based on the FIAT currencies). |
