and the Media do their work very well.
By exaggerating news and spreading false information to gain some revenue and for their "news" to appeal more interesting. Gavin can do whatever he wants to do, however, any bad move will also affect bitcoin because we know that Gavin Andresen serves as the "face of bitcoin". The media exaggerates this bad news and as a result, affects bitcoin in a way how it affects Gavin. I agree to Gavin's point that there should be some changes in the code, but not to the point that if ever his demands aren't met and he'll choose another fork that is not yet thoroughly reviewed, I'll call it quits. It is obvious that it's his personal choice, but I do not think the price will be affected if he will go 'away'.... This is the problem to have a 'face of bitcoin' we will come back to a centralization if we will be scared by this type of decision. |

A public ban list maybe good, but this may invade the privacy of those who banned (because they may use the same name at other sites). If this is made, I suggest only to include who were perma-banned, but not for those who banned for 7/30 days.
It already exists a list (not 'functional' at all) here : https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php for example : Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #517541 Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #517542 Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #517543 Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #517544 Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #517527 Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #517528 Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #517526 Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #517521 Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #517540 Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #517562 Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #517563 Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #517564 Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #517565 Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #517566 or Autoban user: N/A in topic #0 by member #516470 Autoban user: N/A in topic #0 by member #516820 Autoban user: N/A in topic #0 by member #516818 Autoban user: N/A in topic #0 by member #515014 Autoban user: N/A in topic #0 by member #513982 |

Well done Gavin, this is why bitcoin is the best thing that I have never seen in the last 20 years in the 'internet world'... basically the decentralization as liberty to do whatever you want.
A sort of anarchy... and the Media do their work very well.

Ndnhc online may 27
Give him some time to notice that the forum is up, and most probable he will never come back due this scam accusation against him:
ndnhc is an extortionist (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1072408.0)
https://archive.is/NQCk6Quickseller was wrong: edit: it appears that I was wrong on this one. It looks like question2 had posted the address ~1 day after the contest was closed for additional entries and I am not able to believe that someone as involved with DaDice that ndnhc is would make that mistake. https://archive.is/NTPQ7 |

Woow , nice catch Quickseller. Well done, I have randomly noticed the ndnhc's trust when I have opened the dadice signature campaign's thread.... I never thought he was an extortionist so dishonest person. Now everything it is clear, and I remember his initial topics in the gambling section ... really suspicious.
I have also seen he never replied to this thread, and I cannot verify if he was banned (but I do not think he was banned). Can someone through a PM, give me more information? Thanks.

so i thought this forum would be like any other letting you post as much as you want but nope it has to do the stupidest thing and make you wait 5 minutes. that't not fair at all so get rid of it and don't add it back. people need to be able to post replies whenever meaning all the time. but with the 360 second wait its taking forever for people to get the help they need and taking forever for the people who need help to post about the dang problem. so thank you forum for adding in a stupid feature no one needs at all. YES this may seem mean but its the honest truth about how stupid it is to make people wait to reply to posts.
Everyone here in the forum waited 5 minutes between make another post, I also have been a newbie user and it is not a stupid thing ... it is only a normal forum function. If you do not wait 360 seconds then (simple) buy a an high ranked forum account and stop crying. |

yes that is nice suggestion to use an alias instead of bitcoin address because that will be against of privacy of us by using this email address we can easily traced from hackers and many people will be out of their bitcoins by this kind of method.
Like the NXT alias system, but I think it will be really difficult to add this option to bitcoin (waiting someone with more knowledge of me, to reply...). The alias was also the First thing that popped into my mind.
Using the alias email, and when you want to send funds to someone, just press the send coins button in the address.
Really easy and practical for instance when repaying a friend or so!
This, it can be added to the bitcoin core client so people can send email/messages direclty from the wallet... but maybe I'm dreaming  . |

I think the user account should have a tag on it while it is banned. I think a little public shame goes a long way to deter people from breaking the rules.
Yeah, I wouldn't be against this as it can be helpful it certain situations. A lot of other forums have 'banned' displayed somewhere when they are and I think you're right it would shame the user and maybe make some people fear bans more and therefore do their best to avoid them. When someone is banned for a week or so most of the time the ban will likely go left unnoticed by everyone else. I have asked this thing to BadBear here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=891783.msg9885735#msg9885735 and this was his reply: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=891783.msg9885941#msg9885941So I do not think it will be implemented.... but I have always supported the idea. |

I am thinking it is a neutral news, why should the price be affected by this news? Are you thinking a lot of people will dump their BTC due of hat news  . People should learn, that the bitcoin world is not more affected by the 'external' news: paypal, BTC adopted in XX country, etc... these things do not affect the price anymore. |

BTC-China was leading a decline of today’s price wave to the downside. The decline reversed at $235.02 (Bitfinex) and 1460 CNY (BTC-Cina). Technical analysis looks at the prospects for the coming days, and we examine the lull in Bitcoin price movement during the past few weeks. ...

In these days the bitcoin world was 'attacked' with a lot of news but the price is 'locked'. |

Bitmine AG, the Swiss Bitcoin mining hardware producer which CCN recently reported was facing multiple lawsuits in regards to undelivered hardware and broken promises, has declared bankruptcy in the Swiss city of Bellinzona. In a lengthy note posted to their website, Bitmine explained their insolvency, complete with a breakdown of costs versus income. Cold comfort for the customers who never received their hardware at all, of course, and in most countries, bankruptcy means that all creditors are basically out of luck. In the case of a company taking pre-orders, it seems that’s really what the customers were: creditors, investing their money in a company which turned out to be risky and shifty.

A lot of interesting news in these days, will bitcoin as technology (& not) will be affected? What do you think? |

Is $1.5 million for a website a legitimate price? It seems extremely pricy to me, who has literally no experience in website design. I mean, unless it's like a site for Microsoft or something I can't imagine spending that much for a website.
Also, $100,000 a month to a company that no one really knows anything about? It just seems strange, to myself, a total outsider.
You should split those 1'500'000 dollars to all the slickage team (~10 person) and you will see that it is not a lot of money ... ~150'000 dollars to each component of the team for a 1-2 years of work (and maybe they will receive more money, who knows?). |

The OP is KingOfSports. If he isn't a clear scammer then IDK who is.
You. You clearly are. You enable scams to take place and are proud of it. Why don't you leave me some negative trust about it? Better yet, log back in to your mod account and delete this comment. I will hound you for the rest of your career here, make no mistake about it. I think i missed a lot here. I have heard that QS give wrong feed to people and all(he don't) But what's this with him being a mod ? I can't find him with mod status  Dont listen to them, they have all sort of crazy theories about quickseller, they are saying that he is badbear so i guess thats why he talks about him logging to mod account. All the people that whine about vod or quickseller are just scammers that got busted and now they are crying, you can notice that they actually never try to refute the accusations against them but rather attack the guy who accused them. Yes, a lot of people also think he is an alt of hilariousandco (a mod here in the forum) but I think it is only 'speculation or fud', maybe someone is only trying to destroy his reputation. He is not (obviously) an alt of BadBear, why him should have alt on bitcointalk.org ? He is an admin . However nice to see again Quickseller in the defaultTrust list, the bad thing is that now a lot of scammer will start again to open & spam thread here in the Meta section. |

Re: Are Forum signatures really useful ?
Yes, they are. Signature campaigns is needed to bitcointalk.org
Are you trolling or what?
Even if there are dedicated staff members whose purpose is solely spotting spammers, it isn't enough because a few edit and some sprinkle of "good" words would probably conceal the spam. That would work, but if you read the post thoroughly, you will see that the words added to the main point of the post is completely irrelevant as to what was really the point of the post. Special staff members aren't necessary in tracking down these spammers; the forum members here alone do so by reporting a post in which they think is insubstantial or is irrelevant to the discussion that's been going on.
I forgot to reply to your post, I only want to say that I agree with you. The forum staff should only manage the forum and not lose a lot of time trying to manage all the signature campaign. What do you think if all the users that who are participating to the forum ads auctions will start to rent the users signature? Will the forum be happy of this decision or not? |

still waiting...  I think BadBear replied alredy to your 'question', with this post: Go away.
So why are you still continuing to post here in this forum? You should go away because you as a person are not accepted here (or this is what the forum thinks). Like the other users said, wait 90-120 days and after make an appeal (but in these days read and learn the forum rules, they are simple!). |

From what he said : ...
I thought the casino ripped me off, but when I logged back into the blockchain wallet, I noticed I only had 3 receiving addresses and not 4.
The last receiving address had totally disappeared from the wallet.
Double checking the address in blockchain, the 7 coins were indeed transferred there, but I have no way to access them?
How is it that I had 4 receiving addresses in my wallet and now one is gone?
....
I think someone accesed to his bc.info account, but maybe I'm wrong.... @OP, waiting for more information... check again your computer. |

account has been recovered
thanks
I am happy for you, a lot of users had the same problem in these days.... now I suggest you to close (or better) lock this thread . *to prevent spam. |

I also support your idea, ban the signature campaigns and the problems will be resolved ... at least we can try for 1-2 months and see what will happen. People (that who were banned) are still continuing to create or farm account every single day and I remember a couple of months ago the things were more different than now.
It can be seen in the span of 2 months as a test and I am sure that many would be inactive but the number of spam posts (although trolls will continue trolling) would reduce and account buying and selling would stop. I don't know when the signature campaigns started but it has given rise to farming accounts and such scams/spams which is a bigger problem and it would slow down the activity as well (but people who are genuinely interested in bitcoins will stay). Till now these campaigns are allowed because they bring traffic to the forum but there needs to be a solution as well.Yes this is a well know thing, without the sig ad this forum will have fewer 'visits' but I am (still) thinking the sig campaigns bring more damage than good thing.... maybe it is only my theory. Whatever maximizes profits for the admins is what the official forum policy is.
That apparently includes allowing spammers, scammers and far, far worse to run rampant.
sig campaigns are a good compromise to everyone and also if we ask the complete removal ... it will never be accomplished. |

when is this forum going to be coming out?
The last I heard it should be released "early 2015" although we are already past that. I believe most/some of the code is available on github so it is a good ways there now. If I were to guess then I would say it will probably be available for everyone to use as bitcointalk around 4-6 months from now or so (although I have zero inside knowledge about the progress) Now I think the forum will be released very soon due these previous attacks, but something make me thing that the new one will be attacked more than the actual  (it is only a sensation). when the new forum software will be ready, all the current accounts will be transferred to the new forum or we have to register again?
The entire DB will be transferred >> new forum software, the unique thing that 'we' should do is : change the pass (using the email address, or in another way). |

If signature campaigns are banned:
1. Accounts won't be bought/sold as people mainly buy farm accounts for signature campaigns.
2. Accounts won't be held as collateral and some members will even stop lending due to this.
3. Members (except scammers) will stop creating new accounts as now their account won't have any value.
4. Activity as well would be affected
I support banning signature campaigns if the first 3 points do take place as I don't support these account sales and find it immoral to farm accounts just to earn few bits.
I also support your idea, ban the signature campaigns and the problems will be resolved ... at least we can try for 1-2 months and see what will happen. People (that who were banned) are still continuing to create or farm account every single day and I remember a couple of months ago the things were more different than now. Banning probably decreases activity. I think enforcing rules on campaign managers are better for better management. If spams are higher from a campaign, banning it. Anybody? I do not think the forum staff has the time to manage all the signature campaign, a ban period test will be really useful (but it will be also a form of censorship and I think it is always against the philosophy of this forum). Sure. Why else would they allow the forum to be defaced & degraded by shit which directly competes with official forum ads?
IIRC, somebody posited that the official forum ad fees can cost more because of the defacing & degrading shitposters. Shitcan the shitposts and ad revenue goes down? This (probably) is another reason of why sig. campaigns are not banned from the forum... a little decentral. of ads is more effective and I think sig campaigns bring more traffic than the forum ad. |
