Prizes Paid but now prizes will be on hold. As I am going to start paying FIAT money also for prizes  Smiley

[...]

If you don't mind me asking, how are you planning to do so? Users might start trying to aim for the fiat prizes (if the implementation allows it), instead of exploring the bitcoin side of things.

Are other than English languages allowed in the posts, or should they be strictly in English?

yes , of course...

Of course other languages are allowed, or of course the posts should be strictly in English? Smiley

I ask this because FastBluff, for example, didn't allow posts in languages other than English; PD or Gaw Miners, on the other hand, allow it (as far as I know).

We're still on the same page forsakenpnut... Tongue

Anyway, sig changed. I guess we're not doing the daily countdown then?

What do you mean with daily countdown?

Stunna had mentioned before that we would do an official daily countdown to the release of PrimeDice3 - that is, we would change our signatures daily to say how long until launch. Here's the post I'm referring to:


Primedice3 is soon to launch. And the official countdown is about to start.

When I say so (I will send out a mass PM when), all members will need to change their signature daily to create a "count down" effect.

Example:

On the 18th (Not actual date just example) I PM everyone saying change your signature to "PrimeDice3 launching in 10 days". Everyone will do so.
On the 19th everyone changes their signature to "PrimeDice3 launching in 9 days". Everyone will do so.
On the 20th everyone changes their signature to "PrimeDice3 launching in 8 days". Everyone will do so.

This will only take you guys about 30 seconds a day to do. If you for some reason you miss a day that's perfectly fine. Just make sure when your posting your signature always aligns up with the current count down date.

No one will be disqualified for not doing this, but it'd be greatly appreciated for the very small amount of work it'll take for you guys Smiley.

Cheers guys & as always thanks for the continued support!!

I don't think PR moves are first and foremost in their minds to be honest - they, and many others, have on several occasions justified their continued aggression on account of the blockade Israel is imposing on them, which has left them on the verge of an humanitarian crisis (and as we know from leaked documents, purposefully so). Another issue is the occupation of the West Bank, the continual grab for land and resources there, and the treatment of the native population.

Now, I also agree that Israel shouldn't retaliate this way, but instead look to other ways to solve the conflict; but you can't ignore these other issues - they also need to be addressed, if any lasting peace is to be found.

Do you know why there's a blockade to begin with?

Israeli official motives for the most recent blockade (there were others, in other forms) are security related - it helps limit attacks by Palestinian forces, and prevents them from acquiring weapons; so far so good. But how does this then turn into a "let's leave the Palestinian population there in a state close to a humanitarian crisis" due to the actual conditions imposed? Isn't this just a way to ensure the further radicalization of the population, instead of helping to solve the conflict?
2347  Other / Off-topic / Re: Giant crater in Russia's far north sparks mystery on: August 01, 2014, 08:26:50 PM
Why do all those things have to be in Russia? I mean they have that Kora borehole (A hole so deep, it supposedly reached hell) and they had the Tunguska event. Oh and they had the Tsar Bomb, which resulted in the biggest man-made explosion. Oh I almost forgot about that freak meteor 2 years ago!

Well, looking at the map, they have a huge land area - so it seems natural that a lot of stuff is going to end up happening there. Tongue

And considering a lot of it is sparsely inhabited, what else remains to be found there? Smiley

This doesn't seem like a war to me - it seems like a slaughter. You're equating the two sides as if they are on equal terms, which is far from true. I mean, the best one side is capable of, is launching a bunch of small, unguided rockets at the other side's civilian population, killing 3, last I checked; the other side is attacking them with artillery, warships, and airstrikes, devastating a densely populated area, and killing over 1400 people.

So I ask again, don't you think there are better ways to deal with this? Is this the right approach to solve the conflict?

So here we get to the root of everything. Obviously we know Israel has a big, bad army they've built up over the last 40 years...so why does Hamas continue to lob rockets when they know most Israelis are hiding underground and know Israel will respond with massive retaliation? Isn't this irresponsible and reckless?

Or is it because they do it knowing Israel will accidentally kill civilians shooting back and it becomes a great PR move for Hamas. I honestly don't know why Israel falls for it personally. I think they should just build their walls higher, strengthen the iron dome's capabilities, hide behind it and laugh.

I don't think PR moves are first and foremost in their minds to be honest - they, and many others, have on several occasions justified their continued aggression on account of the blockade Israel is imposing on them, which has left them on the verge of an humanitarian crisis (and as we know from leaked documents, purposefully so).

How exactly does bringing up the wars of 1948 or 1967 help solve the conflict that is going on now? Are you trying to justify the killing of 1400 people and the survival of the rest being jeopardized, based on what happened over half a century ago?
Well Palestinians still fight based on the belief a 1,300 year-old mosque that Muhammed supposedly ascended to heaven at entitles them to the land. It's all a centuries-old conflict and both sides don't forget the past.

Regardless of their beliefs, what about the people that actually live there? Don't they have a right to the land they've lived on for, who knows how long?

Anyway I don't justify the deaths of civilians but it is not in Israel's interest to purposely kill civilians. The tragedy is they fall for Hamas's trap because it is easy for Hamas to throw up a random photo of any dead child on twitter, send it out, pass it off as a victim of Israeli bombing and people get emotional about it. It doesn't matter if the kid died in Syria, Iraq or Gaza, people like to believe what they want to believe to confirm their own personal biases.

Whatever photos Hamas might have put up online, there are international observers in Gaza - it's where the 80% civilian casualties figure comes from, as well as the 30% children casualties figure. It might not be in Israel's best interest to purposefully kill civilians, but that doesn't stop the 1400 dead so far (and rising quickly).

War is a tragedy but I challenge anyone to find a war where innocent people don't get caught in the cross fire. What matters is which side does more to protect their own people from being collateral damage and there has never been any evidence Hamas does anything to protect their people. If they did they'd be building bomb bunkers instead of smuggling tunnels. Meanwhile Israel has built the Iron Dome AND a network of bomb shelters for their people, yet people ask why it is no Israelis get killed in the rocket fire...

This doesn't seem like a war to me - it seems like a slaughter. You're equating the two sides as if they are on equal terms, which is far from true. I mean, the best one side is capable of, is launching a bunch of small, unguided rockets at the other side's civilian population, killing 3, last I checked; the other side is attacking them with artillery, warships, and airstrikes, devastating a densely populated area, and killing over 1400 people.

2350  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Zionist shills on reddit on: August 01, 2014, 07:04:58 PM

It happened today.  Two Israelis killed, one more captured.  I heard it was a suicide bomber that killed the two, but it looks like that part is unconfirmed.  It happened 1.5 hours after the cease fire was put into effect.

The "beautiful" (use that sarcastically) thing about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is it usually flairs up again every 10-15 years or so which brings in a whole new generation viewing the conflict from the outside with no perspective. I'm sure a big portion of the bitcointalk crowd are in their teens or early 20s and have no memories of Hamas militants strapping on bombs and randomly walking into pizza parlors or getting on buses and blowing themselves up taking out innocent men, women & children. And what did they do it for, bizarre beliefs they will have a heavenly garden and 72 virgins waiting for them.

So, what are the pay rates? Better than PrimeDice, I hope? Grin

Don't you think it's a completely disproportionate response though? Some Israelis get killed, and in retaliation they kill over 1400 Palestinians (80% civilians, 30% children), wound many thousands, and destroy a good chunk of Gaza, including infrastructure they depend on to live. Does this seem like the right response to you?

Wasn't it disproportionate in 1948 when to settle a quarrel between Jews and Palestinians on who gets a piece of the pie of the UN partition plan, the ENTIRE Arab world gathers their armies and moves in to Palestine to try and finish the job Hitler started?

Or when they tried to do it AGAIN in 1967 and lost both times?

The Palestinians problem is largely the fault of the Arab world, because in Israel's mind their occupation of Gaza and West Bank was not to protect themselves against Palestinians but to defend themselves from an entire region that wanted to wipe them out. Ironically though now these same Arab states are on Israel's side now because they recognize the fanaticism of Hamas and Iran taking over the middle east is worse than their hatred for Israel.

Sell your signature and or services in the services section, good luck

Could you tell me what you meant by selling my signature?

That would be adding an ad for some company/site/whatever in your signature space (like I have for PrimeDice). But that, more often than not, requires at least a rank of Member.

You can look at this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0) for information on the campaigns currently running; or as 2double0 suggested, look for another deal (or post your offer) on the Services section.
2354  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Israel's Crazy Doctrine for Justifying Deaths of Over 1,000 Gazans on: August 01, 2014, 05:39:08 PM
I think Israel's crazy doctrine for justifying the deaths of over 1,000 Gazans probably has a lot to do with the fact that Hamas continues to spit in the face of the cease-fires by launching attacks instead of respecting the cease-fire. How long did the 72 hour cease-fire last today before the Palestinians kidnapped an Israeli soldier and killed two others in an attack? 90 minutes? What are the Israelis supposed to do? Just sit back and take it? Let the Palestinians continue to kill Israelis and not fight back? What kind of warped logic is that? Everyone is so quick to paint Israel as the bad guys, but not so quick to denounce the shellings and suicide bombings coming from Gaza.

Don't you think it's a completely disproportionate response though? Some Israelis get killed, and in retaliation they kill over 1400 Palestinians (80% civilians, 30% children), wound many thousands, and destroy a good chunk of Gaza, including infrastructure they depend on to live. Does this seem like the right response to you?

If anyone could kindly recommend a way i can earn that much bitcoins in 7 hours would be greatly appreciated. And no its too early to stand at a corner and i doubt they have nfc compatible phones to pay.

You can try selling something in the Marketplace->Goods section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=51.0), or perusing through the Marketplace->Services section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0) to see if there is something you can do, to earn that amount.

By the way, in the Goods section you also have the Hardware and Digital Goods subs - so, you can try selling game accounts you don't use, and stuff like that, for example.
2356  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Israel's Crazy Doctrine for Justifying Deaths of Over 1,000 Gazans on: August 01, 2014, 05:06:06 PM
1364 declared deaths as we speak; dozens of thousands of wounded, probably will pass the 1400 mark before the end of the day, but again there people that will still defend this genocide.

Sure, while they aren't on the receiving end, they have no problems with it.

[...]
Israel has also hit United Nations Relief Works Agency-run schools in Gaza, which are sheltering thousands of displaced Palestinians. An estimated 5,000 homes in Gaza have been completely destroyed, with another 26,000 damaged.
[...]

RT put out a video comparing a few satellite photos, from before and after the invasion started, of areas hit by Israeli attacks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90wFV9AqOI4 (it seems to be age restricted now, as it had other more explicit scenes mixed in). Anyway, suffice to say that not much is left but rubble, on the areas hit - so, even if they don't get killed, many won't have a home to return to (or food/water/electricity/etc. at this rate).
2357  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Terrorism... on: August 01, 2014, 04:08:14 PM

Terrorism is probably the worse way of fighting ever. It had some limited effect on the past, around-WW2 mostly, but it's a senseless way to get anything at all and a great way to loose support. In fact if you are a terrorist you can get into a general knowledge TV show against an amoeba and a jellyfish and come out 3rd or 4th if one of the others could have a brain.
[...]

As Ekaros mentioned, don't forget state sponsored terrorism is also a thing, and depending on how strong the state is, it can be very successful - just look at the way the US treated its native population; how it tortured, terrorized, murdered and occupied the Filipinos; the attacks on Cuba; war crimes on Korea and Vietnam; up to, and missing a lot along the way, the recent drone bombing of suspects (and anyone unlucky enough to be around) in several other countries. Then, to finish it off, since the media often goes along with this, any reporting you get to hear about it will be framed however it is convenient to the perpetrator.

They really pay 0.1 for 50 posts?
I think I should become a member as soon as possible!
Unless you buy an account it will take quite some time for you to become a SR-member…
It's actually impossible to become that in a short amount of time. Sorry mate!

You can buy a Senior member account but they are rather expensive.  It would take a few months of the .1 BTC gain to make back your BTC  from buying an account.  There are other more profitable sig campaigns though you know...

That depends on how much he usually posts in a month: for anything less than, say, 80 posts a month, fixed payment campaigns are the best - but they usually only take Full Members and up.

EvilPanda, now ,I want to reserve one spot.
is there available?

I think he isn't reserving spots anymore.

EDIT: here's the post about it:

Ok, all updated Smiley
If you want to easily change the address do it at the beginning of the month.

I thought about it and reservations aren't working. It sometimes takes weeks before a slot opens and I'd have to pm you to claim it.
We are at the limit anyway, so I'm not going to enlist new members for a while (unless a lot of people resign).

Whether it's a huge risk or not is up to you, but he's only guaranteed the 5btc, and if he doesn't pay out for whatever reason those funds will be used to reimburse people, but they might not get what they were owed. I'm sure this wont happen but you never know.
That is a possibility. Next week DiceBitco.in and I are going to look at the members status to see if more money needs to be escrowed. And isn't it better to get some money, then nothing at all?

Well, for a maximum of 100 participants, and lets say, 300 posts per participant at an average pay rate of a Full Member (0.0007 btc), that only comes to about 21 btc you need to get DiceBitco.in to escrow, in order to ensure everyone gets paid. Cheesy
