...edit the bot now display the payment still not sent, just to know how it work
It's now paid, although with low priority fee so can take a while to confirm

it has been one week already since i started this campaign, still no payment, at what hours it was supposed to be? bot say nothing about this
It should be around the time you signed up, maybe +1-2 hours. They don't bundle up payments, so should be exactly 1 week for every participant. I always get mine around 18:55, and iirc that was more less the time I joined.

If you were inactive for a long time, why would you keep thousands of dollars there? It seems a bit odd. But assuming you're telling the truth, do they have any other reasons to be suspicious (other than inactivity)? Do you still use the same email, have you got the same ip? Was your account verified before? Have you made any fiat deposits, or only btc/altcoins? What you can do is: 1- send a pm to their official profile (looks active) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=33012 and ask for a reply. 2- start a proper scam accusation, following this format: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0 include any relevant correspondence logs with them (screenshots). If the accusation is convincing, maybe one or more trusted, DT-listed members will give them negative trust feedback, hopefully forcing them to address the issue. 3- take a legal action against them (if possible). 4- regularly keep emailing, posting in their official thread and social media until they respond.

I've received similar emails from "Bitcoin-Market" yesterday and today both went straight to spam (there's some bullshit about McBook pro in them). There must have been email data leak on one of the bitcoin related websites.
I suspect Poloniex, but can't be sure. I received those to 2 different email addresses. I use one of them for multiple purposes (registrations on various website etc), the other one is more 'official' and I rarely used this one for any registrations (submitted it to maybe 3-4 established sites), I don't recall receiving any bitcoin related spam to this email before.
Both emails were used to register on Poloniex (I have 2 linked accounts), hence my suspicion.
@OP - are you registered on Polo with this email address?
Edit: I also found similar email in yet another email account of mine, so Polo may not be to blame after all.

Tipping was mostly good at the beginning when BTC wasnt that popular. I achieved a few things like the recepient of those tips had a chance to try the new technology. At the same time it helped spread the word about BTC and tipping was partly what made it popular. The legendary stories of the 10,000 BTC pizza also helped in its rise to fame.
How we could forget the guy that bought pizza with bitcoin, what do you think he is thinking now that the price of bitcoin seems to go to an all time high? He could have millions of dollars by now. That guys name is Roger Ver also known as the Bitcoin Jesus if I have my facts right. Hes still a millionaire and have invested millions in different BTC companies. Im sure he doesnt regret buying those pizzas with 10,000 BTC. Wrong, Roger Ver was not the pizza guy. It was Laszlo Hanyecz ( laszlo), it happened here on bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.msg1141#msg1141See his last posts from 2014, he claims to have spent it all on those 2 pizzas. But at least someone tipped him 1 btc.

... Hmm... nice try but that's not exactly what he described is it? :3
I mean in your scenario both sites have the same basic price but bitstamp price rises faster! So of course it would be stupid to use btc e and not bitstamp. But what he describes and where arbitrage trader earn money is in the same situation but with and already existing difference! Consider that bitstamp is at 1020 when btc e is at 1000 and then keep the same price rise as before then you'll see it's more profitable to do the arbitrage.
SHOW ME YOUR MATH. I dare you. Do a simulation. You send BTC1 to btc-e then what? You can even ignore the fees to keep it simple. Fuck, you can even assume Bitstamp price going to $1 million and use any starting difference you want, If that's any easier for you. The price on btc-e doesn't matter when you deposit btc but have to buy it back later. The only way you could make profit in this case is when the price goes down (on btc-e) after you sold, so you can buy back more btc. But this has nothing to do with arbitrage.

My account got added on that list for no reason, since my posts are good enough. Now it's pretty much useless since most sig campaings are using the stupid centralized lists instead of taking the time to look for good members for themselves.
There always are/will be few campaigns with less competitive rates that will struggle to fill all the spots, apply there. Plus, you can always approach managers and politely ask to evaluate your post quality themselves. Plus, you can ask the manager who blacklisted you to reconsider. Honestly this forum is becoming a chore to use. You can't no longer have fun. You are always paranoid about how your account will be trashed because you posted a reply that was too short, or you posted a couple of messages in a row... ridiculous.
You can't have fun on the forum without wearing paid-for signature? One would think now you're finally free to post whatever/whenever you want. You're giving yourself away for being solely for-profit poster. ... Let's just hope there are still sig managers willing to select members for themselves instead of blindly trusting a list made by other people.
Sure, if SMAS team gets overzealous and bans valuable posters, then, eventually, the other managers will face a choice of: - ignoring SMAS list, or - compete with ridiculous rates for the very few quality posters that are not yet blacklisted. It all will balance out in the end.

it's very difficult to buy there, specially if you are american.
It's indeed quite a difficult thing to get fiat there, but not impossible. I do this - At the time the price of BTC-E matches the price of other exchanges, I deposit coins there and sell them then for USD. That's the easiest way of getting fiat there without any hassle. And when the price of BTC-E is like $30 behind other exchanges, I buy Bitcoin and cash it out to Kraken or Bitstamp and sell it there. Easy profits. ^^^ things that never happenedI hope you're joking, but something tells me you were not. So let's break it down with an example: 1- When price on both sites is say at $1,000 - you're sending BTC1 to btc-e and sell it for $ (and pay 0.2% fee - you got $998 balance left) then you wait... 2- Price goes up to say $1,051 on Bitstamp, but on btc-e is only at $1,020 - so you're buying btc with that $998 - net of fees that's ~ BTC0.976 and sending to Bitstamp 3- (ignoring Bitstamp fees) you sell and get ~$1,026! Pro-tip: by skipping btc-e and sending that BTC1 directly to Bitstamp you'd be $25 richer. But at least now you can say "look mum! I'm an arbitrage trader!"

Is there a reason why the price on BTC-E is so much lower than the other exchanges? It's currently trading at $1018 while Bitstamp is $1054. The Chinese exchanges are even higher. Couldn't someone just buy on BTC-E and sell on Bitstamp? I'm assuming I'm missing something so if someone could explain this to me it would be much appreciated!
Have you actually tried depositing USD into your BTC-E account? Just try do it and you will understand the reason why. It is either very costly or very inconvenient to do, depending on where you live and what transfer options you have.. On the other hand selling BTC and withdrawing USD is relatively easier. Don't know about convenience, but wire transfers are surely not cheap. https://btc-e.com/fees Deposit fee Withdraw fee International wire transfer 0.5%, min $20 fee 1%, min $100 fee There are some cheaper options, such as OK pay and other (I've never heard about before), but these may be charging their own fees. @OP, on top of that you have to take into account the exchange fees on both BTC-E/Bitstamp (think it's 0.2% on both) and consider rather low BTC/USD volume on BTC-E.

... most people here don't tip as it is slightly different from the real life procedure-put your hand in the pocket,get money/card-tip to tip bitcoins one has to copy paste addy,open wallet,send coins,pay tx fee on top of the tip amount... some can't be bothered ...
if you have a wallet installed on the same device you're browsing the forum on, then sending btc is not much more difficult than tipping with cash. Problems are: tx fees, not everyone has an addy in the profile, the address could be from old and no longer used wallet, and the recipient wouldn't know (unless informed) what the received amount relates to. The perfect solution would be the 'tip button' (all tips would be done off-chain) as suggested here, but that's unlikely ever going to happen (hope I'm wrong). They do have such button on Polish forum (forum.bitcoin.pl) and it works fine, there are plenty of tips flying around there despite relatively low forum activity.

So there is no need to ever use the private key unless removing or spending coins?
Correct How would I check the balance using the public key?
Public key, in this context, means your bitcoin address (which is a hashed version of the public key). If you use bitaddress.org to create paper wallet (or just to generate new address with private key etc) you'll see there are 2 parts: one marked as 'secret' - this is your private key (keep it safe and don't share this one), and the other, marked with green 'share' is your bitcoin address. You can use the latter to monitor your paper wallet balance.

If anyone is hoping to earn any tips on this forum, you're probably in the wrong place. It seems the vast majority of people are here to earn through signature campaigns (and alike) rather to spend/give away. But, outside bitcointalk, the tipping/donating culture among bitcoiners still holds somewhat strong. Looking at any popular project, youtube channel, charity etc. that accept bitcoins, most do receive quite meaningful (and regular) btc income. Few examples: WikiLeaks: over BTC4,007 received to the current address FreeDomainRadio: over BTC669even Lifeboats (RNLI) received almost BTC12 despite the fact that btc donation option is hidden and not accessible from the main page (you have to google search for it). So if you're doing something that a lot of people find really useful, then there's a big chance you'll get some appreciation tips. Exactly, maybe before when the price of bitcoin was not too high even the ones with less coins could tip someone with bitcoins but now a days if someone has a very limited amount of bitcoins then they would just think of holding them as the price is too high, and only the ones with a lot of bitcoins might think of tipping someone with them for a service or something.
I don't see how high btc price prevents anyone from tipping. You know you could just send smaller amount, right? More of a problem are the high tx fees, it doesn't make much sense anymore to tip anyone with $1 worth, if you have to pay ie $0.50 fee.

Afaik, the short answer would be YES. You're subject to tax laws of the country you reside in. In some cases, you're subject to double taxation (ie. US citizens living abroad). So if you made a taxable capital gain, then you should report it and pay the tax, it doesn't matter which platform or bank account you used to sell your bitcoins.

Did this ever get resolved? Got the same problem. 1,5 Mbit stuck in freebitcoin.in and around 2000 doge stuck in freedoge.co.in Try to send request to support and no answer
Did what got resolved? OP's "impossible" losing streak? Your stuck withdrawal issue is not relevant to this thread, if you get no response from customer support, try posting in the official thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319540.0

- Any member of this campaign who receive negative Trust will be removed from the campaign (with no pay or half)
So if someone creates a newbie account and leaves every participant a negative trust feedback (just for a laugh), then no one gets paid? You could probably add something like "valid negative trust" or "negative trust from DT listed member".

Yeah I am just worried I have been scammed or hacked or something, can't really risk more without knowing this is not the case ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) First of all, have you actually set a username and password in the 'settings'? If so, did you set a strong password? Have you saved it (copy/paste) anywhere? Most likely it's just a case of a typo, or an extra space etc. But if the password was weak, easy to guess or you use the same one for different sites, then you might have been hacked. If you just messed up the password, then worry not, I'm sure admin will help you out next time he's available.
On an unrelated topic, BetKing, one of the SD's competitors, just announced they are closing (the owner decided enough is enough and it's time to move on to other things), so likely that should cause some increase in SD's activity and the bankroll.

Wow, I didn't see that coming... Best of luck Dean! Thanks for all the epic promos and for not running away with investors funds ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Hope to see around, maybe with other projects. Take care ps. I had a small bug with withdrawal pop up screen, it showed balance of zero (while I had some small amount). But entering the amount manually did the trick anyway.

bitcoin's trend is clearly up, in 2017 I think it will reach $2000. More and more people discovered and gets interested in bitcoin, thus pushing the price higher, as bitcoin is deflationary, it will certainly go much higher.
Yes it is totally going up, but I am skeptical about $2,000 next year. I hope it does reach it though. But I think there would first be a correction and after that it will sky rocket. It has been rising exorbitantly for the pass couple of days and we should expect a quick correction then followed by the continuance of that rise. To reach 2000$ in 2017 I don't think so, the price can't double every year. I know everybody is happy that the price continues to claim, claim and never stop to reach the sky. What I think the price could be around more 1000USD to 1500USD, I think the price should increase slowly instead of big jump. Thanks for your thoughts, but posts like that belong to Speculation board, there's plenty of relevant threads there. So lets not unnecessarily bump Press topics, let the old topics slide so the most recent press hits stay on the top.

Destinia is not a Venezuelan agency (I believe it's Spanish company), so they've only limited their bookings from Venezuelan customers to bitcoin. So it's not a case of them going full Bitcoin etc.
Also, Destinia have been accepting BTC for a few years now.
