Unfortunately I am not a student at this college but an employee.
I this case I think you should be prepared to answer the question "why?". Which is the reason I came to bitcointalk.org. To brainstorm ideas on how to justify using resources to run a full node at a college campus. I - probably same as you - have a hard time to think about a reason. Maybe you charge for something that could potentially be paid in bitcoin, e.g. credits for printing or other campus services. That however could easily be done with bitpay or something like that without the need to run a full node. It would also be difficult to get such a project rolling, because of the potential changes required to existing systems. I still think it would be better to approach student/professor projects that can run servers, be that for research or other reasons. The economics department might also be someone to contact, now that every second bank is talking about "blockchain tech". Edit: ...or maybe you can rent/buy rack space/a VPS in the university datacenter. Depending on the price you might need to group buy it among interested colleagues. If you need to get hardware, a used server should easily handle running a full node.

I was asked to state my opinion on this, the below is just that.
I agree with getpay that there was no rule change. In the OP its state that escrow is accepted, not who pays the fees for it. IMHO its thus up for negotiation, which should happen before the bid or not invalidate the bid. If its so important for Dorrittulx they could have asked for a clearification or made their position clear with the bid. I rather suspect they never had the intent to buy or got cold feed and waste everyones time here. Typical escrow fees would be 1%, if thats your margin on your first bid, dont bid at all.
I also think threaten to leave negative feedback is uncalled for. Yes, retracting a bid on these grouds smells fishy, but I personally would rather exclude someone from the thread than keep wasting my time with them. Its obvious that Dorrittulx does not want to deal with getpay. To leave a negative rating is perfectly fine IMHO, because they didnt honor their bid.
Whether or not the license allows reselling it with a finished product I cant tell. The little text available under above link clearly states "Use, by you or one client," the buyer here can easily be seen as the client which would make it a valid license. I would suggest you (as in those who care and have an interest to buy) contact the person that issued the license when in doubt instead of fighting about it here. Preferably in a verifiable way.

The one was in security (for investors) while the other one was in gambling (for the gamers) before the move to the alt section.

I understood from this that without inbound connections you don't support the network
Supporting the network is meaningless concept. Miners get paid a lot of money to be online and do the Proof-of-work. This is the most important concept in Bitcoin. Its just that very few understand the actual incentive mechanism and there is a lot misinformation, even by the most prominent core developers. Whether you run a node or not, for the outcome of the network it doesn't matter. Bitcoin is Proof-of-work, and unless you're running a big mining operation it doesn't matter what you do. Mining oligarchs on the other hand can participate in the politics (to an extent which is not clear). #Full nodes matter, because they decide which transaction reach the miners and which not, they are also the interfaces to the network for light wallets. You cant have only 10 full nodes for the miners and call it bitcoin.

You can have deals in the services section and pay users for joining under your referral link but you need to ask them to either message you or they can message you for the referral link. You cannot share the link openly. I've seen threads that publish a ref link and offer to pay those to click it get deleted because of ref spam. That's because whatever excuse users give those posts were created to promote ref links.
If you create a thread in services offering people to pay them to click a ref link but do not post the link itself then you should be fine. You can include the link in your signature
Badbear said that's called referral spam. Only sharing referral links via PMs are allowed unless the user is the owner of the website. I see that many signature campaign allow you to put the referal link in the signature, so i think it is allowed. What about my signature that i have currently is it allowed? Of course yes. Having a referal link as part of your signature is allowed, creating a post just to refer to the signature is considered ref spam.

What's stopping other account sellers / farmers from doing what you did? It would be hard to tell the intentions of the poster.
why you were banned kind of makes sense when you think of it that way, no?
The thread is removed with the confirmation, thus the post is as well and as such its not a valid method to gain activity / posts. Assuming there is a confirmation (obviously).

Hello, I am in the IT department at a college campus. I have been trying to get permission to run a full bitcoin node on campus using our wealth of resources. It has turned out to be harder than I thought. The main problem is how to justify using the college's resources to help Bitcoin. I was wondering if anyone had some good ideas of how to pitch this. I would like to create some sort of unified argument that all colleges and universities could use to present to the "higher ups" in order to gain permission to run a full bitcoin node. Any help would be appreciated.
Write thesis/paper about the blockchain that requires you to get blockchain data, get a prof. to sign that you need a server for this, install core.

I know that creating threads just to promote referrals is not allowed. But can I ask others to use my referral link and then pay them for it? This is actually like doing business. Is this alloweed here or not?
AFAIK paying for referals is fine. At least it was in early 2014, might be a bit more strict now.

Thanks a lot, fully understood now.
What was you have been understood? Do you mean you have been understood how to make loans? They asked where the signature comes from a few posts ago on the previous page. As there are only pictures one might get the conclusion that you have to copy the signature from somewhere instead of generating it with a click.

This was so nice to read, I understood everything on how to sign a message except one thing??? Where do you find the signature Couldn't find out. I can sign a message now but where is signature add Sorry if this sound stupid, but I am not very familiar with BTC yet, although I have a decent amount sitting in my wallet. which wallet software/service do you use?

For me this is about 2 years of activity from now?!
84+365*2 = 814, so it might take even longer. Why there is no way of becoming honorable member if your posts are very quality and if you helping others?
A high rank does not make you honorable, but it gives you a fancy 5. coin.

You have a mistake in making that report, cause icaruz is not my account anymore. I gave it to a lender exchange to my loan. Its been a month when i gave that icaruz account to him. You better fix it before the new owner of that account will see this.
You might want to provide some kind of signed message or other information that make this more than a mere claim. None of the accounts have a negative rating though, so even if you dont, it might not matter to you.

I would like to stake a new address as my old one (13D) can no longer be used to sign messages because of the Blockchain wallet update so until then I'd like to use this address.
17x1zk5Bpge5AgVUDdJsdQpWBbSRfAHS3L - Robertt - 04/02/16 - IPvIPdHrsMmaouqIq+088Vbd6c0Un348CWnh/WfO+o6FQbH3qwf0VNb+3KKFwdBzYQ8EVKyfbiHDOMuropqpkuA=
Thanks.
A bit offtopic, but it might still be usefull: Is there no way to export your private key from your blockchain wallet? I know you can export keys from the web interfact from blockchain.info. Afterwards, you can import this private key in bitcoin core or electrum, and you can still sign messages with your old staked address From the debug console (Help > Debug, Console tab), dumpprivkey If I am understanding your question correctly. Waaay offtopic now. Robertt use(s/d) the new beta (or alpha?) wallet from blockchain.info which is apparently broken (who would have guessed that bc.i does something broken?). The way I understand the issue they are completely locked out of their wallet now.

nope. just tried it and it works fine. heck I didn't even connect to the internet. so I'm sure all you need is the private key.
I see , thanks then and I assume that It should be the same for verifying since you don't even need a private key for verifying signed message unlike signing them. Correct, signing and verification happen locally and no blockchain data is needed.

I can not use my bitcoins because coins are in (waching only) wallet. i dont remember that phrase. i dont understand how i can use coins or remove them to another wallet or nothing.
Please help me!!!
How did you create the wallet? As "watch only" says, you can only watch, not spend. That does not just happen, you have to explicitly create a watch only address with either address(es) or a master public key. Both addresses and master public keys however have a private part they are generated from. If you can remember where you got the public part from you might remember where the private part is gone to.
