It doesn't need to be taken down, the public will decide if it will be sucessful or die. I'd guess the latter due to people's responses.

Can't see this coin living very long with such a negative communal response.

Now to see if he pays up. Assuming Inaba doesn't try to MNW his way out of the bet.

The difficulty isn't in terms of hashes, its just the difficulty.

The current Bitcoin network at time of this post is an estimated 11 PHash

yes, I too would be interested if you do.

Hmm, for some reason I entered this thread thinking it was a sale on Casascius coins.

and 20 minutes from now, there will be 30 threads asking, "WHAT HAPPENED!?!? WERE THE FORUMS DOWN FOR YOU TOO?!?!?!"

Transaction details would pretty much clear this up.

Thank you, I'll talk to a few friends about what you have for sale, I don't think they fit my needs, however I'm also looking for hardware for some interested friends. (The deal would still go directly through me, as they don't use the forums)



Reading into them now, thanks.

I had a similar thread a few weeks ago but I can't seem to find it. Anyway! I'm looking to buy some more mining hardware. I got a bit, and now I'm horribly addicted! Thanks for that.....

Please let me know what you have, GHash and Power consumption info would be appreciated, as well as cost and I'll get back to you ASAP. I'm happy to use escrow if you feel it is necessary. I'm in the U.S, so keep that in mind for shipping's sake.

Thanks

Your User ID wouldn't change.

Because if they pay $100,000 for an Erupter, and then chargeback and win after they have received the hardware, its a free erupter.

I've heard nothing but horror stories from Ebay. Buyers will either chargeback and say the item isn't as described 29 days after winning the auction, so they get a free month of mining. Or just chargeback in general.

Yes you are. Theres no rules against it, because it would be impossible to stop you from doing so if you had the correct Proxy setup, or used Tor. Its up to the seller's ethics to do their best not to sell to scammers, although scammers can get ahold of the accounts. There are legitimate reasons to buy accounts as well, for example wanting to skip newbie jail, or wanting the username, or even using it for paid signature advertising.

I'd think that scammers may not have the best of luck around here, even after buying accounts, as hopefully, just about no one is trusted, and if they slip up, they get labled a scammer, and are out their money. As well as if they spam for the paid signature advertising, they will get banned and also be out of the money they paid to you.

Could we catch some account sellers? Probably, but more than enough would get through to do damage. Its easy enough to see accounts that have been inactive since 2011 being sold, however what if you were to raise an account up until mid january, sell it in late january, or even february. How hard would it be for the seller to post on the account once or twice per day to keep it active? They would also be increasing the post/activity count and making it more valuable. That wouldn't be very suspicious, especially amongst the other 200,000 acounts. We need to be able to catch all or none. If we don't catch all, people who have old accounts will be trusted, which they shouldnt. If we catch none, no one is trusted, and thats how it should be.

This is actually worth it now. There are a handful of people buying Erupters for 0.03-0.04 BTC per piece

There is no such thing as abuse of the trust system, he doesn't trust you, so he marked you as untrustworthy. The Trust system is unmoderated.

Also, again, I would highly recommend coming off of the caps. Chances of your thread getting moved is about 100% because this is the wrong section. Chances of it getting moved to the Trash Can are much higher for all caps posts.

Because the fact that people aren't stupid and require collateral is a personal choice, so it doesn't really need to be specified as "Collateral lending", anymore than we need a "Scam here" section.

Also, I think your caps locks might be broken.

Pretty clear and concise answer there. People got fed up with being scammed, so you don't get loans without collateral. Simple as that.

But even with 100,000 votes saying, "No account selling shouldn't be allowed" it wouldn't change anything. It is allowed for the reason that has been mentioned probably over 1000 times now conservatively. Its unenforcable, and to say otherwise is just deluding ourselves. Sure, we can say no account selling, and then people will be caught off guard, as the community here isn't technologically retarded (correct use of the word). It will happen anyway, and people will lose a bit of their suspicion, figuring that all old accounts are their original owners, and that they couldn't have just been purchased off of Ebay for $20. People keep saying, "other forums have detection methods!" A *insert type* forum doesn't have the userbase who knows that they can get around any and all tracking methods, nor do they have 200,000 members.

Gah, but what makes Dogecoin a novelty? It had a higher market cap than Bitcoin for a very very short period of time. What makes Litecoin not a novelty coin, its price, its age? And Crystalcoin isn't out yet, what makes it questionable?

Besides the fact that there will be no subforums for Alt Currencies, and the entire thread is moot, there is also no descrimination positive or negative against any alt coins. There would be no judgement call regarding what is a novelty coin or not, because there are no obvious "wrong" coins. Having a funny name doesn't make a coin a novelty, and having a serious name doesn't make it not a novelty. They are all Alt Coins.

I don't, it irritates me that people haven't read the thread before posting, nor have they read the other 500 threads about the same topic.
