Report one of his post and tell it is ban evasion. Write proof in text field but don't make it lengthy.
This, It is not necessary to open a thread, a few months ago I have opened *one but after a couple of week it was closed (so it is not really necessary to open a thread - // * https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=891783.0). |

How difficult would it be to add a PM warning for accounts that have changed passwords recently (or ever)?
Changing passwords is a good security measure. I don't thing punishing that with a measure like this is a good idea. At most a something saying "This user has recently change their password" but without red alerts or sirens. I have asked this improvement to theymos in that thread, but he never changed the color of the 'write' (or also the size). Wow! i saw a similar Message today and was thinking that the guy must have typed it for some sarcastic reason .
It is a good measure as it will stop Imposters from cheating people.
Thank you Theymos.
Now I really want to bet , do you think that some newbie imposter will be able to scam another user? I think that there will be someone who will be scammed (and I am not kidding). |

I don't agree. Bitcoin's problem is not fiat but the lack of mass adaption. This however results from too few useful real life applications which using Bitcoin. It is too hard to get into all this Bitcoin stuff when you don't have a technical background or interest. tldr version?
Bitcoin's problem is fiat. And people don't care because they want higher fiat prices. The lack of mass adoption is a consequence of the 'lack of knowledge' and we know that some people don't want to learn and don't like the "new technology" so I think this is another problem. The problem I see with bitcoin is what the hell is taking the Willy bot so long to come back. That would surely shut everyone up. You want moon?? There! Good job Willy! Everyone happy. Willy says fuck ya'll.
Then we can say the problem for bitcoin is the willy bot, and that bot used a lot of FIAT currencies... so the problem is the FIAT 'part'  . I think we have a problem! |

Not yet! There are some underlying issues needed to be addressed before the masses adoption! Such as security issues, easy application, regulation, mining centralization, price volatility etc. PPl basically want the secured ,easy to use , appreciated currency,
Exactly. We also need some prunning or compression for Bitcoin Core. Syncing taking hours isn't really helping. It will take a few more years till the infrastructure is ready for mainstream adoption. When some people don't know how to do something simple as take a screenshot on their PC, how do you expect them to use something as complicated as Bitcoin? Exactly! Some people don't know how to use a computer and we 'are thinking' (or maybe better would like) that btc will go mainstream... really amazing! I still prefer bitcoin for some usage, and FIAT currencies for other things and I am thinking that they can co-exist (with some 'limitation' in the future). |

I tried to be neutral but I can't.
In this case maybe it is better to not post, or am I wrong? Even if I support person(s), I don't tell lies. I tell truth or what I understood. If I agree/support a person in a case, I may not agree/support him/her in all. What I said above about QS is what I know.
It seems that it is not the case, or maybe an user if he will read what you wrote ... he will understand for sure another thing.

No matter what amount of BTC is in your wallet:
(In your opinion) Is/Are there (or could there be) any important undiscovered major bugs, and/or are you worried about that topic?
How about 'endless' frauds/scams? Etc, etc....
Is Bitcoin actually ready to go mainstream?
Obviously : NO , at the moment bitcoin is not ready to go mainstream. A lot of people still prefere the FIAT values, with all the defects (but it is still good for some people / respect the bitcoin). Not yet! There are some underlying issues needed to be addressed before the masses adoption! Such as security issues, easy application, regulation, mining centralization, price volatility etc. PPl basically want the secured ,easy to use , appreciated currency,
i don't think bitcoin need 100% regulation(and it won't happen because bitcoin is implement a better anonymous tech in the future, we know those two things can't work together) to go mainstream security isn't bitcoin related but exchange related and mining centralization isn't an issue, it was intended by satoshy itself.... so the only left thing to resolve is price volatility, which is the epitome of the adoption Why some people want that bitcoin it becomes mainstream, it is not 'made' to become mainstream. |

Most bitcoiners want bitcoin to increase in value so bad, they will do anything it takes to make it go mainstream but don't really see where this is will lead us or even care at all how bitcoin will look like in the future.
I've known about bitcoin for very little time but from what i could gather here and there (correct me if i'm wrong), bitcoiners have been very enthousiast about bitcoin for many reasons one being that it is an alternative currency which is not manipulated by banks.
So when I see goldman sacks investing in bitcoin and everyone wetting their pants i am starting to think that we might have two differents crowds of bitcoiners, one that wants the currency to succeed and one that wants the value to rise but don't really care about the currency itself.
In my opinion people who wants the value to increase and wants rapid mainstream adoption will be responsible for bitcoin to never go mainstream, the blockchain will though, people will be transfering fiat between eachothers using the bitcoin blockchain or another one, but what is the point of having a blockchain in the background doing all the work and fiat on top of it? people will have no incentive to use the actual bitcoin, merchants will probably in the future have fiat denomination for their digital payment, and all transactions that were previously cash could be monitored by government with the help of bitcoin banks like coinbase and circle.
If I can say you what I am thinking about all this situation : bitcoin wil never go mainstream because it is not 'made' for all the people; and this is why: 1) Some people don't have any knowledge of what is internet, or how to use a computer or a smartphone. 2) Some people have never used a credit/debit/prepaid card, and those people still prefere 'cash'. 3) Bitcoin can afford only <10 transaction / sec and we want that it becomes mainstream (I'm talking about real bitcoin , with transaction on the chain). One of the awesome things about bitcoin is that it helps understand how money works in our current system, it raises very interesting questions, it educated people about what actually is money and also raises awarness about current manipulated fiat system.
By putting the blockchain in the background with fiat on top we will slowly remove all of these subjects from being discussed that are so important.
Bitcoin to me is not gold2.0 as some believes, gold is an asset bitcoin is an alternative currency.(my opinion)
The question i ask is why do all these people want bitcoin to go mainstream apart from the fact that they will earn money from that? if bitcoin is mainstream one day we will probably never hear about the word "bitcoin" anymore.
A lot of people want only to make some dollars (euros, yen, etc..) when the bitcoin will pump and buy some bitcoin when it will dump (pure speculation , nothing to do with the real bitcoin concept). I also want to dump all my bitcoin when the price will be a little more high (not for 240 dollars ). My post may sound a bit like i am some anarcho libertarian but I am absolutely not, i think government has a role in society but this role is not the issuance of money, bitcoin fascinates me because it is sound money and not controlled by anyone.
Even if bitcoin blockchain remains decentralized what is the point of having fiat going through it ?
Personnaly i think that's a good thing that we have many different crypto currencies, some very interesting open source projects of bitcoin ecosystem could very easily be rolled out on another crypto but i just think that bitcoin is not heading in the right direction because people do not give it the time to.
Bitcoin is (will be) a valid alternative to send large (and not) quantity of money without the use (or trust) in a third party service (like bank, etc..) and especially with the lowest fee in the world and the rapidity (I'm not talking about the confirmation, only of the sending of the transaction) from a point A to a point B. |

I have verified Skrill Account and Need 1 BTC at Market Price. Please PM or send me a message to btclokka@gmail.com  Move this thread to currency exchange section If I am reading it correctly then he is selling his verified skrill account for 1BTC, not looking to buy BTC with skrill balance So you mean skrill account worth $240? If he is selling verified account, i would advise buyer to be careful, since its possible that account is hacked. Otherwise, if this is an exchange offer, move the thread as previously stated. (But still there will hardly be takers, since skrill is both reversible, and doesnt allow currency exchange) cheers It is obviously an hacked/stolen account, Who is so intelligent to sell 'his' verified account? *if we are assuming that it is his 'main' account verified with his personal document for only 1 btc. A simple question (not only for you) : will you sell your identity for 1 bitcoin?
However I suggest to not buy that account, it will be probably 'locked' from the skrill (aka moneybookers) support. |

MZ, I know you're always careful to support whoever you see as the most powerful in a given context, but how on earth would you have any information about what account the person known (inter alia) as Quickseller considers to be his "main account"?
I should have wrote "AFAIK" first. The first is incorrect. I don't support person with more power unless he should be. I support persons with least/no power too. See Quickseller's feedback on my trust page. He thinks I was vouching for a scammer. You should always say the truth and be 'neutral'. ...
Another thing, please don't take this as a personal attack, but given quickseller's buying and selling and farming of accounts, how do we know you're not just a sockpuppet trying to deflect valid criticisms of him?
If I can say my personal opinion about this fact (not only about Quickseller) but this is the wrong thing here, because nobody can determine if he is 'talking' with 1 user = 1 person or 1 person = 3-4 alternative accounts. So it is very difficult to 'catch' some valid thoughts about 'a problem' here in the forum. |

Added your 'personal email address' in the first page (only for semplicity, is this a problem?).
I guess all my contacts have been there this entire time. But OK  I forgot that I've quoted your first post, sorry. 30 April 2015
Card Funding Situation.
You probably noticed that recently virtual and plastic card funding transactions are not always instant. This is caused by considerable delays in getting payments from our partners to our primary card account. These delays resulted in interruptions in the otherwise seamless process of funding and using that account. We are constantly working to minimize these delays and fund this account as often as we can. Nearest funding is later today, this is when most of today’s card transactions will be processed. We are also increasing our own reserves to prevent future delays from affecting the system. If your card funding transaction is still pending, you can always cancel it and have the funds returned to your wallet. You can also withdraw your funds using an e-currency of your choice, Bitcoin, Paxum, OKPay, Yandex.Money, or Payeer. Our primary objective for today is making sure these situations never happen again. We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences caused.
*this is taken from News section from Advcash website.
Thanks for the information, however I am still thinking that this card is actually one of the best prepaid card (rechargeable with bitcoin). |

I'll make one soon, just thinking of a good name for it.
Description would probably be something like Faucets, pay to click, web based games, and other services primarily based on ads and/or micropayments. I think that covers the targeted sites well and doesn't include any that shouldn't be.
Faucets is a little too specific, free bitcoins is misleading. Micro something?
Finally marcotheminer will be 'happy' about this decision, thanks for the update BadBear. I'll make one soon, just thinking of a good name for it.

Thank you for the update! Micro earnings is good. IMHO, addition to faucets, PTC etc..., all off-site games and rounds should be moved to that section. Exactly  , all those 'services' should be included in the new forum section. |

How do you set your PM message pruner to not delete everything every 14 days?
Maybe I don't understand your question .... But I will try to answer : simple don't use the prune messages function. |

The problem is funding the incentives.
The problem is identifying who really is a full node. You can set up thousands of "ghost nodes" that are just passthrough gateways for the same node but will look like multiple different ones. The moment you start with paid incentives, you have to try to fend off everyone that is trying to game the system. Agreed. We need the nodes to tell us they are full nodes. That might require some changes a lot of people might not like. there is no way to do this, this is why this tipping thing can't work, one could abuse it... Why can't work? How someone can abuse the 'tip'? Isn't it free bitcoin? Full node can run p2pool for its miners to benefit from the operation, we just need p2pool to become more popular
I hope the same thing, but at the moment the people seem that don't like this 'improvement'. |

Thanks for this improvement, theymos! Now I think there will not be scam made by imposter anymore (like in the auction thread for the ad slot, etcetera).

redsn0w is a trusted user i traded with him some STR Thanks for your feedback;
A little bump, if you want a loan reply here in this thread (don't send me a PM). Thanks for the attention. |

I dont really think the administrator of the site has to prove that someone was banned for ban evasion/trolling. How happy would you be if you were banned, some guy asked why and your IP information was released?
So is that the story of the day, you got my IP? Please post it, would love to find out what it is myself  For the not-so-quick: >TOR >PROXY GG bro, try again. BTW, what's my main account? I think you should pay attention, because you are only free to ask why you were banned? So I think you cannot post freely here in the meta section (or it will be considered 'ban evasion'). |

A simple question, have you reported those posts with the "Report to moderator" function? This is the unique and fast way to report any form of spam. |

I think theymos has already noticed this thread and maybe he does not want to 'create' that new sub-child board.
