So why has he shown little to no interest (publicly, at least)? It just seems like a man so famous in software would actively support one of the greatest software initiatives in the world.
He keeps himself busy with Philanthropy these days, and I respect him a lot because of it. I could imagine it would be harder for him to justify spending time investing in bitcoin when he is actively working to improve third world living conditions. |

It is designed to be intuitive for those with a trading background.
especially that imaginary currency pair BTC/PT. can you at least respond this question: 1% up in BTC/USD means 1% up in BTC/PT?  ? Prices in most forex trading platforms are displayed in Points or Pips. This is the price in US cents. BTC/PT is the currency pair you are trading on. 0.01 BTC/PT is not a percentage, it means that you are placing a trade so that each 1 cent movement will produce a gain or a loss of 0.01 BTC. It might be more intuitive if read as 0.01 bitcoins per cent movement. If the bitcoin price goes up by $1, this is a 100 pt movement. A buy position of 0.01BTC/PT size would return ~1 btc. A buy position of 0.02BTC/PT would return ~2 btc etc... |

BTC.sx like so many other similar services is not friendly to anyone but experinced traders. Is there any good reason for that? Put differently, you are really ready to severly limit your possible income because of "elite" look and feel? As far as I see it, there are multiple similar "elite" websites fighting over dozens of traders while tenths of thousands are playing SDICE or hoard BTC simply because they don't feel like gambling or messing with inexperienced-trader-unfriendly services like BTC.sx Pick 10 unknown people on random, let them read https://btc.sx/about.php?p=faq and you will hopefully realise the issues there. In case you feel like such action is not required and don't feel like adjusting service to serve people, please remove the following bullshits from starting thread: "Why? One of our primary objectives is to see bitcoin as an economy grow. A proven catalyst to economic growth is liquidity. Allowing people the freedom to trade as they like increases liquidity." Feedback taken on board Bitcoin Megastore. You are totally right that trading isn't always easy to understand. It is designed to be intuitive for those with a trading background. For those without, I would encourage you to read up about Margin Trading and CFD's before trying to understand what we do. Having a solid understanding of the mathematics behind each trade will help you make better informed trading decisions. And to reiterate a point which you made to others. If all you want to do is bet, Satoshi Dice is as good a place as any, along with the other betting sites out there. I'll look into getting the FAQ rewritten to be a little friendlier. |

Seals, will my posts from last week qualify for this? (I joined on the 20th of June, I think.) Or will they be eliminated and my posts from last Sunday to this Sunday be qualified only?
- Post 314
Hi acs26, yes they will count. |

Is this still going? I'm interested.

Apologies if this has already been answered. Are you calculating candlesticks and SMA's based on bid prices, ask prices or traded prices?

Hi BitcoinTalk.
...
Is this based on posts or activity? I've been on here for months and have well over 100 posts, but my activity is low for some reason. Its based upon posts. The new activity metric was added shortly after I created the original post. |

i posted in this thread some time ago. as far as i can tell i never recieved anything for my participation. Seal, if you could please confirm whether this is still open or not. thanks
Hi r3wt, yes this is still active: Terms
Payments will be made weekly on Sundays for complete weeks.
I should have clarified further, complete weeks are counted from Sunday to Sunday. Thanks for your patience. |

Thats posts by time of day. I think CanaryInTheMine was referring to posts over each monthly or maybe weekly period. |
|
|
|
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
I don't like it. It embodies the assumption that any post above once per day (averaged over two weeks) is not contributing; which I do not agree with. At the very least number of posts per day should be increased, e.g. min(time * 28, posts). And you should consider more sophisticated metrics such as sum of f(x) over all two-week periods, f(x) being x / (1 + sqrt(x/14)) or x / (1 + x/28). Time spent logged in will also be useful to include as a component. Now let's take the indefinite integral of that function... Challenge accepted! 3/2
2 Sqrt[14] x
28 Sqrt[14] Sqrt[x] - 14 x + --------------- -
3
392 Log[14 + Sqrt[14] Sqrt[x]] Or 28(x-28log(x+28)) I had to use an integrator of the first, the second was easy to do by hand. YOUFORGOTYOURCONSTANT! A complex solution that is well thought out. I have an issue with this though (besides being too complex) it does not address the fact that it will reward trolling kids with plenty of free time instead of more mature contributors who actually add value in their discussions and posts. I would like to see what you have implemented theymos incorporated with a points system which the community can upvote or downvote individual posts based on content. Similar to Reddit and Hacker News. The idea is to discourage posts with no relevance to the wider community and reduce the number of flamewars and trolling. Think of it as community driven forum moderation. |

Nice idea. For now I'll keep the payouts as they are. Am I correct in saying that the activity system essentially shows your commitment to the bitcointalk forums? So if I have another signature that I'm paid to keep it, I can't put in yours, is that correct?
Thats correct. I don't want people collecting affiliate links as it makes signatures (and the forums) look like an ugly mess. |
|
|
|

Checking out the new features. Nice idea.
|
|
|
|

Nice idea so here's a free bump.
I have a few ideas. Is there a section where you can see completed tasks? It would be nice to see what work was done, reviews for the work and how much was paid.
Also, no offense but I think the pre-generated user emoticons look a little tacky. Can you replace it with a generic one until a user changes it? I think I've seen those pre-generated ones before on incomplete sites.
Good luck.

So you'd look at post count at start of week and end of week, and if it hasn't increased by at least 14, DQ?
Yes. |
|
|
|
I would like to make my own deal since my post numbers are greater than 4K and should be worth more than any signature with 1K.
If you be willing to pay .2 then I can do it, since I have 4x greater post than I think that sounds fair.
Sorry gweedo, I'd love to but I can't justify it. For that price, I could pay 10 members (with a lower post count) 0.02 and get a better reach. Depending on how things go, I will consider adding another tier at 2000+. |
