You're wrong there: exchanges were allowed to join the airdrop. What wasn't allowed, is an exchange user claiming airdrop from an address owned by the exchange.

It does feel bad though to see the dumpers profit more than the holders, but that can still change in the future. Byteball is working on real life applications. That's a risk, but if it works, it will pay off.

But he put 10 Bitcoin in escrow, so you can safely invest the minimum of 100 Bitcoin, right? No risk there, assuming you're very bad at math.

My signature has nothing to do with my post here. If you'd read some of my posts, you'd know I only joined this campaign days ago, and I've been posting my mind long before that. And yes, that includes towards ChipMixer.
You can call me a troll all you want, that doesn't mean the facts I present are wrong. It only shows you know I'm right and have no arguments to counter it. "Everybody does it" is no excuse to violate copyright laws and break Bitcointalk rules. Or, as guitarplinker once put it:

BitMixer's site has been copied since it exists, and all copies were made by scammers.

Prove me wrong, sign a message: "Hi LoyceV this is  BITMIXCOIN's 2000 Bitcoin wallet on September 21, 2017". Feel free to send this to me in a PM, I won't expose your signature but I'll post the results here if you did.
Escrowing 10 Bitcoin proves you own 10 Bitcoin, not 2000.

The best guarantee is if they earn a lot of money without scamming, like BitMixer did. They must have earned thousands of Bitcoins.
Apart from that, you can never be sure. Many people scam even without being anonymous. But hey, read guitarplinker's quote above.

You need my private keys to do a double spend.

Needless to say: don't give your private keys to anybody unless you would trust him in real life with cash money too!

As discusssed per PM, the difficulty is too high for this giveaway. I can make it case sensitive for 0.0015 BTC (and a few days processing time). This case insensitive version is for free, but looks "messy":

I'll give it another try Thanks

The bold part is unclear to me: did you import the private keys into Electrum? If so, you should still have them saved within your Electrum wallet.
Deleting the session is meant to remove all traces of your private keys from ChipMixer's server. That can't be recovered on their side, otherwise it wouldn't be very secure.

I'm no expert on Windows, but the more you use your current computer, the less likely it becomes to recover anything.

This is an unfortunate side effect of more and more coins using the same address format.
Bittrex gives a very clear warning when depositing:

They require a minimum value of $5000 and a 0.1 BTC fee. I don't get the reason for the minimum value though, if someone is willing to pay 0.1 BTC to recover a lower amount, Bittrex has the same amount of work and gets the same payment.

Long term, I'm curious to see if they ever collect all these coins for themselves. All together, it piles up to an ever increasing amount.

You picked the wrong nickname, lower-case L is not possible. Upper case o isn't possible either, so that leaves a case insensitive CobALT:

The original article: Wealthy borrowers use home loans to bet on stock market:
This doesn't sound like it's common practice, just an extreme example of what one person did. In the Netherlands, people have been using mortgages to invest in the stock market for decades. Bitcoin goes up faster than stock, so it's the next logical step. Given a large enough number of people, it becomes very likely that some of them do a certain thing.
This is just one of the risk of very cheap debt. How nice would it be to turn that £2m into another £10m? If you would have done this just a year ago, you'd be looking at even more than £10m now.
As long as it's the wealthy people who do this, and they can afford to lose their investment, I see no down side. It's good for Bitcoin's growth too.

The risk is indeed if people start investing money they can't afford to lose. I sometimes feel like: "I wish I would have invested anything I have in Bitcoin at some point in past", which is a very risky thought if you extrapolate past price increases into the future. I can't afford to lose my savings in a stock (or Bitcoin) crash, which is the reason I'm slowly losing it to inflation on a savings account.

I can get you "1Bitcoin" for 0.0015 BTC and a couple of days (or more) processing time.

BitMixer made a statement on this before:
Which leaves just one option: they copied the content. I'm against plagiarism and fight it where I can. Plagiarism also deserves a perm ban on Bitcointalk.

The page http://bitmixcoin.io/why.php is a piece of art:

While copy/pasting verbatim, they didn't even bother to change the name BitMixer to their own. Let me archive that.

User BITMIXCOIN.IO plagiarised this post:

Perfect!

Thanks. From what I've seen, you're doing just fine as a campaign manager

Let me give an example. I start with Post Count 0.
In Week 1 I post this:
1. Good post
2. Bump
3. Good post

Total paid: 2 posts.

Week 2, I start with Post Count 3.
4. Good post
5. Bump (I now delete my previous bump: Post Count is now 4 again, Post 4 becomes Post 3).

Total paid: 0 posts!

Out of 3 real posts one was not paid. My previous campaign manager solved this by checking post dates instead of post count.
I don't mind if some posts are missed once in a while, but I'd like to know how it's counted (I might bump less if it matters).

You could influence this by lowering (or increasing) the "interest" on vouchers, to discourage (or encourage) more investments. But it is still far from ideal.

Any thoughts on the other suggestion I made before: automate chip production?

I just saw it (before reading it in your post), and applied already

After I was in it for about 18 months, Rollin's signature campaign (ran by guitarplinker) ended. Since September 4th, I feel naked without a signature.
It was a good moment for me to take a "crypto break", as at the same time several things came up IRL.

I'm back now It doesn't feel right to advertise another gambling site, so I'd like to apply for ChipMixer. I've alpha-tested the site before it opened, this was the response I got:

Username: LoyceV
Post Count: 2189 (excluding this one)
BTC Address: 1Paydays4YWcXghQjwPPQH4mk7y4mGFV14 (Balance: )


One question regarding post count: I often "bump" a thread. Obviously, that post doesn't count, as it's too short. But, the next week, when I bump again, I delete the first bump when I bump again. The new bump isn't counted, but removing my original bump lowers my Post Count. Am I right each bump effectively costs me 1 real post not being counted? Or do you account for this?

This is exactly what I thought when reading that proposal. I do like it, and it makes perfect sense, but it sounds very dodgy.
It's better to keep an investment-option separate from the mixing part of the site.

So... I got many emails about this, telling me the distribution ended. But: I didn't get anything! I signed up once, nobody else signed up from my IP, and I even referred 2 people (real! people).

Same here: many emails, no tokens. I call scam indeed, if this is how they get people to give them referrals for free.

If this is true, it is clear market manipulation. That's nothing new to Bitcoin, but normally the manipulating parties are anonymous. Now they're known!

What is truely amazing though, is people dumping Bitcoin after a freaking banker tells them to! The whole idea of Bitcoin is against bankers, if you understand the smallest thing about Bitcoin, you'd know it doesn't matter one bit what a banker thinks about it.

I stopped believing a word bankers say in 2008. Bankers' interests are opposite of my own personal interests.
