Its a war between 2 Elephants and I hope many will die in this as admin ban these signatures from here this forum

You never make any sense.
He doesn't indeed. Seen his posts every day since I joined this forum and never managed to understand what he's all about.
Why would they ban signature advertising? He already changed it once and seems satisfied with the results. Remember that the forum benefits from the high activity on the boards.

I think you know why they'd ban it. Because of the spam and useless posts it dramatically exacerbates.

The rubbish posts are only from a handful of members; sig campaigns give back to the new members and is good for the forum and Bitcoin

Most Hero members have a nice amount of BTC and don't bother getting a bit more so they would prefer to ban sig campaigns to get rid of the rubbish posts but I think we could get rid of the rubbish posts without banning sig campaigns all together

Yeah, but it's those handful that do the most damage and spoil it for everyone.

Exactly, when you see some spam or posts unrelated to topic you can report them to the moderator

Can someone tell me if I get the Full Member rate for next payout if I become Full Member April 29th? Can't find the answer, I think the answer is yes

There may be a turnaround at or below 200$.
So there's still enough space to the downside, imho.



This is a scary chart but we can break those lines and resume the bull market if everyone get excited again

what happens to the rally?

Maybe it was a bull trap; I don't know how many times we will go down before we can finally go up but we will eventually get there

Already bought 100% BTC when it hit about 450. To the moon!!!

450 to 4500 would be ok Tongue
2484  Economy / Economics / Re: Worst bitcoin decision you've ever made? on: April 26, 2014, 01:46:31 PM
Worst decision so far was telling my dad I invested in bitcoin. My dad is a total bear and aside from what he hears in the occasional CNBC bitcoin segments on TV, he knows next to nothing about it. I absolutely dread having conversations with him now because it inevitably ends up with him telling me "bitcoin can go to zero". I can't imagine how he would react if he knew how much I really have invested in bitcoin (I'm all in!).

Don't tell him how much you have!

He will come along to like Bitcoin, tell us when it happens, we may be in the 4 digits by then
2485  Other / Meta / Re: The definitive explanation of how activity works! on: April 26, 2014, 01:36:38 PM
So a meaningless post count number is not enough, now we need to complicate it further with an activity number...

PS - 4 more of these activity points and I get promoted to HERO status  Cheesy

April 29 you will be a Hero member

I've posted this in so many threads now...

So, basically, the formula for the activity value is this:

Code:
time = number of 2 week periods in which you posted
activity = min(time*14, posts)

So, lets break this down.

Code:
time = number of 2 week periods in which you posted

This basically means what it says. If you've been registered for one week, then this will be 1. If you've been registered for three weeks and posted on the first day of registration and again today, then it will be 2.

If you've been registered for one year (lets say you registered on the 1st January 2013 and today is the 1st January 2014), and you only posted on the 1st January, 10th January, 23rd March, 15 April, 18 April and the 23rd December, your time value would be 4, because you posted for 4 two-week periods.

Code:
activity = min(time*14, posts)

This basically says that your activity value is the smaller value of your time value multiplied by 14, and your post count. So, if your time value is 2, then your time*14 value would be 28. If your post count was 30, your activity value would be 28. If your post count was 20, your activity value would be 20.

I hope this explains it to some people Smiley

No, we are going to be stuck at $400-$600 range for the next few months or longer. There is NO new development, no new buyers, no new nothing for the next few months or so. Even if there are, they will serve to siphon off the price, not add to it. Bitcoin has a strange habit of turning things around from normal expected outcome. What you expect to happen will not; if you expect price to rise because of something, it will do the opposite. This is bitcoin. It moves in myterious ways.


No New Development? And this will stop Bitcoin to sky-rocket.. how? Can I Guess you come from the bond-market or some bizniz like that? Reading newspapers trying to Catch up on what other People know and New "Development".. you contradict yourself because you are right: this is Bitcoin, it moves in mysterious ways. The mysterious being Logic patterns for speculation - not something not-understandable.

It moves very quickly as well, the Bitcoin environnement of only 8months ago was totally different

Have you looked at the size of the buys during this run from 350 to 500? There are some pretty large buys in there, like 500-1000 block buys. That is
not really small change.

I can't argue about Bitcoin being unexpected as it sure has fooled the best of us. But to think there is no development (when all the bitcoin 2.0 stuff is being worked on, the sidechain revelation, more businesses accepting it, more and more TV coverage, etc.) is not really honest.

Let's watch the mysterious move,
IAS

It is extremely unlikely that we don't breach 400 or 600 within 4months with the present volatility and action in the market; it feels you don't remember how the price is moving rapidly and surprising uneducated watchers; the price hasn't even stayed in the 400-600 range for a month!

Not sure why the negative feedback on this site.. been a great site as far as I am concerned.



You have only posted positive messages about 999dice since you registered so it is quite hard to give you any trust
2490  Economy / Speculation / Re: Analysis never ends on: April 26, 2014, 10:34:31 AM
I have absolutely no idea what to make of this Huh



The triangle has been pierced on both sides, however I feel the volume for the drop was far too low to indicate a bottom, and volume for the rally is almost nonexistent. Perhaps the triangle has been rendered obsolete, and this is a retrace of the still-relevant downtrend?


i'm no market expert or anything, but couldn't the low volumes at the bottom be fuel for an even bigger rush?

Consider this:

For months a lot of people have been patiently waiting for the price to drop. and it did drop to $340ish eventually. If for a week or so the price seems to be stable at $400+ or even rising (even if it rises with 1% a day) all these people who were waiting for cheap coins may lose faith that the price will ever reach sub-340 again and will panicbuy, as soon as some of them buy, the price wil rise even more, triggering a chain reaction of panicbuys and therefore a new rush with a very high volume.

Is this a plausible scenario? I think so, but like i said, i'm not an expert.

I can imagine a dozen of scenarios where the price is going up rapidly in a matter of months; people panic buying, shorts buying buying back their positions and positive price news momentum will push the price even higher in everyone of the scenarios

2495  Other / Meta / Re: Proposal: Disallow Ads in Signatures on: April 26, 2014, 10:16:41 AM
At this point, the forum is mostly dead to me.  I used to be active in about a half dozen boards.  Now once every few days, I check the "new replies" link up top, check maybe 2 or 3 of the threads, click "mark as read" on the rest, and check Dev&tech for big news maybe a couple of times each week.

Feel free to go back to page 14 and check the post histories of the people I've got on ignore (everyone except DiamondCardz).  I have, and I'm not missing anything.

Ad signatures aren't the only problem here, but they sure are a big part of the decline.

Better handling of the ignore function (don't bump threads in the notify and replies lists when the only new posts are from ignored users) and ignore list syndication would help revitalize this place.

Maybe the staff could perform a small investigation on users that have been ignored by the highest percentage of members and if they are spamming, the staff would message them and disallow their sig for a while if they keep spamming

As it was previously said, I think allowing ads in signatures is good for new members, for the forum and for Bitcoin if it is handled correctly; it gives back to the new members that can accumulate some bitcoins while becoming part of the community; we should be careful not to always ask for changes that benefit us at the expense of others. Let's ask the new members if they want to disallow ads in the signatures.

When you don't like to see endless advertisements for PD or RGC you can always check "Don't show users' signatures." in "Look and Layout Preferences", you won't see the signature ads anymore and you will have a clear thread but you will still get the spam from the half dozen members that spam to get money;these members should be dealt with by staff : it is not easy to punish them since they usually kind of post comments related to topics but you can still tell they post for money because their posts are not interesting to read and usually don't add anything to the discussion
This sounds like a good idea. I am new here and I usually find myself at other people's nonconstructive posts. You might also want to take a look at this guy, which I have seen posting with extreme frequency (look at the amount of time between posts as well as their content): (EDIT: DELETED FOR PRIVACY'S SAKE). Many of the posts either repeat what has already been said or are just off-topic. But I am also not a mod (in fact, quite new) and don't know the criteria for a post to be considered spam.

Can you PM me the member nickname please?

Maybe people are coming at this from the wrong angle?  The focus is (understandably) on the annoying people who post a lot in order to inflate their post count and get more revenue from the sig sponsors.  However, maybe the better people to target are the sponsors rather than just the abusive posters.  Given that the forum itself sells ads, maybe a well crafted message to signature sponsors showing how advertising with the forum directly is more efficient than annoying a large segment of the forum's user base might have a very positive effect.  Maybe even PMs from users about excessive posting by some users will convince the sig sponsor to reign them in.

Obviously, I am a signature seller, and the sad fact is it is one of the best ways to get BTC these days while also learning more about bitcoin.

If you wouldn't make more money after 300-500posts or so that would limit the rubbish posts

In my opinion if there is no signature campaigns people will try to promote their service anyway with posts leading to their site or somhow try to encourage you with wrong link, etc. With ad in your sig it is clear that this space is for advertising and nothing else. Just my opinion.

You can disallow signatures as well

Regarding signature advertising..i have signature for two weeks now, and 7 players came as referals, but noone played any real btc. It's working, but i didn't have luck. ;-) anyone wants to try my referal link in signature for real?

I've referred 24 people, but no whales yet.

You'd think 24 people would get you at least a little something decent. You saying it doesn't?

I'm just jealousy of the one who made 0.33BTC by simply referring player 1DiCe1.

Maybe no one referred him

Sure it would when primedice increase again ritz will do the same.

At least it is for now and that is great.


i love the competition between pd and ritz but im goes with the convenience after the payment you dont need to reapply you dont even need to pm ritz about your post count Cheesy so i say this is better than pd

PM takes 20sec and reapplying get you 1 more post Grin

I like the new rates as well; if we can keep them for a few months some members are going to accumulate a nice little sum of BTC

I conducted my first ever Skype call with him during the Atlanta conference on some other Bitcoiner's phone.

He bet me that I couldn't keep his location a secret, and thus far he's winning the bet.  Grin

Last I heard he was tired of Korea and moving to the UK somewhere. If you talk to him again say hi for me.

So matt is Phelix?
