This isn't really true. Gold has intrinsic value because it is a metal and a precious one at that. You can makethings out of it, and not just jewelry.

Haha sounds like it. What does lack of support actually mean? Nobody gave him their money or not enough did?


Derp. Didn't see that bit haha  . Good luck with the fifth round then  .

Hoping some new campaigns come out from the woodwork soon. My Silver Wallet campaign ends at the end of this month and I'll be a Senior by then as well. Hope PD can come back from the dead .


Out of interest how many ads have you sold previously and for what prices, if you don't mind me asking?

What happened? Did he get banned again or has he just disappeared? I don't think a character like bibolarbob was created to stick around forever anyway.Maybe he's still amongst us under a different name?

1) No, it's not necessary but we can't do anything about that. All we can reiterate is that they're a centralized organization of a decentralized idea and they don't necessarily support the whole community.

3). We don't need one, but at the end of the day anyone could create their own foundation. The current one isn't the "official" one and I don't see how it ever could be.

Bitcointalk is the only forum you need and that's why none of the others succeed because they're just not required or have the userbase that this one has. I also like the way this forum is moderated any basically anything goes within reason. Most other forums the power goes to the mods head and they just abuse it.


Lol. Maybe they can find it via Google.

When does it actually go live? I think this needs to become operational as soon as possible. It's going to be an interesting experiment but one that is badly needed due to the nature of the free market. I'm also interested how they will deal with items that really shouldn't be on there like the worst kind of stuff.

I was going to say I never needed to verify mine and could add a card and spend straight away, but there were account limits I had to verify eventually, but wasn't needed at first.

If I understand you correctly it is fairly easy for a Senior Member to earn 0.1 in a month, providing you follow the rules.  ~However, you are currently just a newb.


Why has this suddenly become a problem? What changed?

Yeh, except for the 50% of it's value it has lost over the past year. At least this got rid off all the kiddies who thought btc was a easy get rich quick scheme. I'll laugh when the price rises in the future after they've all sold there's as soon as they could recoup half their money  .

Seems to be offering daily payouts but people still shouldn't promote this out of principle, but I guess if people get their money they wont care.

I'd love to live off the grid in an exotic country and live off btc for the rest of my life, though I guess I'd need an internet connection at least.


Lol. The price does seem to have gone up according to Preev, though I can't see why it would just because SR has gone down.

Sadly this wont stop all the greedy gits who don't care. They do seem to be offering daily payments  but people shouldnt support this as you're advertising what is surely going to be a scam.

ryuga, an account that never posted in this thread and signed up two days before you did? Not suspicious at all. How much did he pay?


No, not all are but people who try to get out of using escrow normally are. Don't tell people they need to send first because it sets alarm bells off.

Even that kind of money wouldn't be worth it for me. Money is worthless if you can't spend it as he's likely going to be in jail for the rest of his life. I really can't imagine the stress of the paranoia I'd be under operating such a site, but if I did I wouldn't be dumb enough to log in from my home computer even through tor.

They could but they won't last long and I'm pretty sure that would be entrapment. Law enforcement aren't really interested with wasting resources on busting kids trying to buy small amounts of drugs; they go after the big guys.

3) And stop trying to wrangle out of using escrow because it makes you look like a complete scammer even if you aren't.

Someone will probably buy this from you if it is indeed legit, but your behavior makes me question whether you even have it at all.

If it is re-opened it will very likely just be open to Seniors and above so unfortunately you'll still be out of luck. I did hear of another dicesite that is soon to be launched and they're apparently going to run a signature campaign.

I wonder about this also. Seems nobody posts in the PD thread now but here instead.

This is what will and needs to happen. Check out Open Bazaar which is trying to become the first decentralized marketplace.

I'd recommend downloading a linux live cd / usb and boot from that exclusively when you want to transact with your coins. As long as the distro is safe you should also be fine. I'd avoid using a windows machine as it's just far too easy to get a virus these days even with a decent antivirus installed.
