I like their "registered users" graph, an exact straight line, which says they have got ~1,200 more new users each day, every day, for the last month, for a total of 129,670 users since starting.

That's about 1 new user signing up every minute of every hour of every day of every week for 16 weeks.
 
Do they realize how ridiculous that sounds?

I was wondering if it was the same Russians running this as another scam, so I looked up a couple of names.

CEO: Tahira Ledadazafimamonjy.

That's an unusual name........he's got a Facebook page though

Great effort tracking that scammer.
Anyways anyone deposited and withrawed?

It was a little joke, asshole.
Yeah thousands have deposited and withrawed, look at their reviews. I'd give them all my money if i was you.

I am not arguing that they're not ponzi. The ponzi is still running and paid on last Monday too...

I think you should give them all your Bitcoin.
2185  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Cloud Mining Website is increasing cost of hash power - Why? on: February 25, 2016, 11:21:16 PM
Expect the prices to increase more right after the halving. With that case I don't think cloud mining will be profitable anymore unless you have purchased power already before the price increases.
In an interesting turn of event, they have now slashed price...

OP updated.
I think, they had to. Because, with rising difficulty, mining was becoming unprofitable with previous rate for small buyers. Moreover, with rising bitcoin price, their support cost should have been lowered. Good move overall...

That's complete nonsense, even worse it's complete nonsense based on the completely unproved premise that these people have ever mined one satoshi's worth of bitcoin.
The only "difficulty" CMS encounter is finding mugs to give them money, that's why the lower 'price'.

I wonder where these morons think the 100% interest comes from?
I have a look at a MMM FB page and occasionally someone asked the question. They get shouted down for being "Disloyal" and "negative" most times, but when they do think about it, apparently it comes from the same Magic Money tree where Facebook and Twitter get theirs.  Roll Eyes

Why prohibit giveaways?

No-one's prohibiting anything.
Theymos seems to be thinking about improving the integrity of the ranking system. People will still be able to post whatever crap they like (mods allowing), it just won't feed the spam/sig cycle if it doesn't increase their activity and account value.
There is no downside.
2189  Other / Meta / Re: 502 bad gateway. on: February 22, 2016, 12:39:35 PM
is it that hard to look at the list of the topics? there's another thread about this posted 30 minutes ago. and another old thread about the same thing which have some answers to your question.


Yeah, but Yobit don't pay you for doing that.
Asking the question here instead has earned him 42k sats. Plus another 7k for the inevitable butthurt reply to this.
2190  Other / Meta / Re: Boards that don't contribute to activity on: February 21, 2016, 06:09:37 PM
I prefer to exclude politics and society (& games and rounds)  and keep counting the other boards including off-topic (i think it is already heavily monitored so it shouldn't be a problem comparing to the previous months.)
Btw maybe a poll isn't a bad idea?

Why would we exclude Politics & society ? There's some interesting discussions that take place there. Most of them are well argumented and the posts there are qualitative.

You have a very low bar set to qualify for "well argumented" sic.

Politics and Society is a cesspool for serial POV pushers.
Currently a "legendary" member, who I have never seen post anything remotely on the subject of Bitcoin, has eight dubiously sourced and spun POV threads on the first page, sixteen on the first two pages.
 
Take a look thru the threads, the same names time and again pushing the same agendas.
If Theymos is happy to have his forum used as a stage for this continual propaganda, that's up to him.
If people want to talk round and round in ill informed circles on complex subjects they barely understand, that's fine too, but why should they collect activity rating for doing that on a Bitcoin forum when their activity has nothing to do with Bitcoin?

The names given as activity increases, 'Senior' 'Hero' 'Legendary' imply some meritorous aspect to it. How is endlessly creating threads and posting in off core topic threads in any way meritorious? 
What is the point of any activity rating if it doesn't refer to the core reason for this forum, Bitcoin?

This thread has become Hell on Wheels.

2192  Other / Meta / Re: Boards that don't contribute to activity on: February 19, 2016, 09:57:05 AM
Maybe Off-topic, though some decent discussions occur there, so I'm not sure about that.
This is already a harder proposal. I've seen and took part of some decent discussions there, albeit they are mostly polluted with people that have signatures and do not read any previous replies.

Surely that's an excellent reason for including it then?
If a genuine contributor wants to make a genuine Off Topic contribution, why would its not counting to activity make any difference?
2193  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: New Miner X5 on BitFury 16nm chips on: February 19, 2016, 08:58:51 AM
I know and have met with the people behind this project personally and they have lot of experience working with BitfFury hardware. I have strong reason to believe they will deliver what they promise.

Are they an official "partner" then, as mentioned on your website?
It would be of great help if you released a list of partners to whom interested parties could go for authentic products available to smaller users.
2194  Other / Meta / Re: Boards that don't contribute to activity on: February 19, 2016, 08:51:04 AM
I'm thinking of making Games & Rounds not count toward posts or activity. What other boards would be good candidates for this? Maybe Off-topic, though some decent discussions occur there, so I'm not sure about that.

It depends on the motivation behind the thinking for excluding certain boards.

This is a Bitcoin forum, advanced ranks based on activity should indicate that member's involvement in bitcoin.

There are posters of hero and legendary rank whose posting history is almost entirely off topic.
If activity was related to core coin subject input only i.e. excluding Off topic, Politics and Society and even Meta then any migration of spammers for sig or farming purposes to the "main reason for being here" boards could be dealt with as normal by the mods.
Some thought could also be put into the proliferation of 'opinion' threads which repeat the same theme time and again, "Is cloudmining etc etc", "Is bitcoin going up?" which are spammers' heaven.

That's if you accept that traffic falling is a price worth paying for credibility.
2195  Other / New forum software / Search on: February 19, 2016, 08:35:45 AM
I hope some thought is being given to the Search facility, 'smart' searching and so on. The facility to search a specific sub forum/topic/phrase with adjustable parameters for time, popularity and screening by member name and rank I would find useful.
Is there any way to get an insight into what's happening in this regard?
2196  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Bitcoin Classic "solo mining pool" *BETA* on: February 18, 2016, 01:04:02 PM
Shouldn't this thread be in "Altcoins"?
 Tongue

Can't tell if making a joke.

Some make that argument, but Bitcoin Classic is not an altcoin. Classic Nodes still act exactly the same as Core nodes (or btcd nodes or any other bitcoin node) until 75% of the last 1000 blocks are mined by Classic nodes. At that point a 28 day timer starts. If that 75% level is maintained for that 28 days then on day 29 the Classic nodes can start processing, mining, and relaying blocks larger than 1 MB.

It was a mild bit of mischief I admit

Bitcoin Classic is not an altcoin

Some people, not a million miles away from being the owner of this forum, may disagree.
Thanks for the info re timer, didn't know that.

Guys.. You all forget about one, most importat thing - it all is not about mining proof! All is about people greed!!! Deal with it!  Wink

Yes, greed is a powerful motivator. Clouds your mind and makes u lose money.

Yeah, maybe we should call it Cloud Minding   Cheesy
2199  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Scrypt.CC | Scrypt Cloud Mining on: February 16, 2016, 05:59:45 PM
The first step towards success is accepting and admitting the fact that we are all part of a big Pyramid Scheme.

<standard bullshit used by simpletons>

So once you accept the fact that Ponzi wasn't actually a criminal but a business genius, you can figure out a way to make your way up the pyramid.

 Wink

Yeah, by lying and stealing.
Great choice of forum name there.
2200  Other / Meta / Re: My account SebastianJu banned for 14 days now? on: February 15, 2016, 09:41:18 PM
So we have one rule for one and one for another.
People in a signature campaign = spammer and scammer (by default)
People not in a signature campaign = trusted person (by default)

Answered right above by shorena:

Signature or not the rules are the same, but if you have to judge the reason why someone does what they do its more likely that the reason will be "for sig payments" if they have a paid signature. IIRC doog (probably never had a paid sig) was warned not to post like this as well.

Responded to by shorena, but not necessarily answered.
Dooglus does carry a promotional sig, the fact that it belongs to his business is irrelevant to this discussion. Multiple posting means multiple signature exposure.
If a carrying/not carrying a promotional signature is not a factor, then how come Gleb gets away with chronic consecutive posting when he is in full flow?
