And video game characters apparently, though I have defeated him with K'... but K' appears in the list at the end, so I probably screwed up some answers.

I have sent you a PM as well.

As to why I want to win: no doubt that would be because I want the 0.5 btc for myself.

I suppose that, as people will create a new account, you could invest the €20 so that they could start off with the 100 experience point bonus - it would speed their progress somewhat, I guess. That said, there would probably be no guarantee that they wouldn't simply withdraw the money afterwards.

Out of curiosity, will that be enough to give your referral the bonus 100 experience? I've never actually used that bonus, but I was under the impression it required €20. Also, is it possible for people to withdraw that amount immediately afterwards (or considering any fees and the €20 minimum for withdrawal, some time after)?

No, Stunna was considering changing the payment structure to be based on activity somehow, and people assumed it will become similar to the fixed rate campaigns. Whether this will be the case or not, we don't know, and likely won't find out until the next payment period, or the one after that.

That's a fallacy - even if Hamas is doing so, what gives Israel the right to attack anyway? No, the reason for the incredible loss of life that has been going on there, on a daily basis, is that the people in Gaza are being slaughtered by Israel. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot wrong with Hamas, but no one is forcing Israel to attack Gaza - there are other ways to solve this conflict, like for example, Israel ending the 47 year old occupation and lifting the blockade on Gaza, that has left the people there on the verge of an humanitarian crisis (and purposefully so, as we've learned from leaked American-Israeli documents, and later officially admitted).

And the line that Hamas is using civilians as human shields left and right just doesn't add up to the more than 700 people killed, 80% civilian casualties (before the ground invasion - it's anyone's guess how many it is now), the constant Israeli attacks on vital infrastructure each time it bombs Gaza, the missile attack on a busy intersection near the market, the attack on the beach cafe while people were watching the World Cup and the recent attack on the beach where the other kids were playing.

That depends on which campaign you join, how much you post and what member rank you are. In my case for example, I am a Senior Member, I'm promoting PrimeDice and I usually make somewhere between 200 and 300 posts a month; so I'm making 0.2 or 0.3 btc from the signature campaign each month.

There must certainly be something you guys like to do, even if not directly remunerated at this point in time; hanging out with friends maybe? Traveling? Playing music? Surfing the web? Something at all, other than sitting/laying down on a couch?

Don't put too much trust in the UN investigation; last time (Goldstone Report) they were put under pressure by the US so that it went nowhere, as we know from Wikileaks. On the other hand, you have campaigns like the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, which could help pressure governments to take action.

Chances are that this situation will reach a point in which Israel will find itself isolated, much in the same way South Africa did.

How do you figure p2p file sharing is very inefficient? Sure, if you're not careful with what you download and install, you could run into trouble; but otherwise, it seems a pretty good system to me.

But what we do actually need is copyright reform, and getting rid of useless middlemen.

Something with decreasing returns, the more posts you make: that was the system that was in place at the start of the campaign, I believe. Of course the rank system was changed in the meantime (with the limits imposed on the member signatures), so that type of payment structure would probably still need to account for that.

Yes - occupation doesn't only take the form you're alluding to.


No, even in war, you can't throw morals out the window. It seems to me that a more reasonable approach would be to end the brutal occupation the Palestinians have been subjected to for half a century now; that would greatly reduce the radicalization of the population (on both sides).

I think they're still a problem to be honest: it's still an account whose owner changed, and any relation he might have had to other forum users, might now expose them to risk. Further, if they were bought once, there is no guarantee they aren't in the hands of someone who won't sell them again, therefore untrustworthy.

I was going to post exactly this. This is just an added "voluntary" measure, similar to the six strikes in the US; it doesn't protect anyone from actions copyright holders might want to take against file sharers.

Aren't you already playing MarketGlory monbux?

Also, shouldn't someone ask questions about this, like, for how long does OP expect people to play and so on?

Banned for being loaded and not detailing the contents in the cargo manifest.

How do you figure anything at all is off-topic for this thread, given that the only recurring theme is posts ending with a question?

You should probably read the first post of this thread a little bit better: on the one hand, you don't need to post here to signup anymore, and should instead use the online form to do so; then, you need to actually use the PrimeDice signature instead of the UpDown one, if you really want to promote PD, that is.

Wouldn't that be all the more reason for you to want to travel around and find out which country suited you the best, instead of resigning yourself to stay in the same place forever?

Have they given any indication that that is the type of campaign they want, or are they still studying what their options are? And are their rates expected to be high?
