3321  Other / Meta / Re: Signature Campaign which pays for merits? on: July 02, 2018, 11:42:46 AM

I think it's safe to conclude requiring merit is NOT a solutation against spam, if it's an automated system that accepts anybody.

When anyone who can convince a team to hire them can become a manager the system will fail. Likely it will lead to more abuse down the road... where does the "bribe" taker drop the Merits off?

I have been in a few of Yahoo's campaigns and while not requiring merit for everyone, if you had a certain amount it netted you better payment. There are countless ways to try and improve the system but without there being any enforcement behind it they won't matter. It would be nice to require a certain amount of received Merit to carry a paid SIG, but again that would require further moderation, which genrally isn't going to happen.

Just thought I would weigh in here as I've gone a different route. This only works for me because my electricity costs about $.06

I've been grabbing up more 741's for myself. I recently added 3 and am looking to add another 4. The reason being I found someone who got stuck with a pallet in the FOMO, and I was able to pick them up for $118 CAD.
Right now they'll each bring in about 1$ aday, $1.25 CAD roughly. So in 120 days I can ROI.

Even if the Diff jumps astronomically, My winter is cold and coming, I know it's only June, but by the end of October, These 8 little space heaters will be in my basement feeding into my electric furnace. So I will then be receiving 6 months of straight profit. Now this is only a concern if I sell what I mine, which isn't going to happen for a while.

Obviously my position is somewhat unique but it is a viable option for a lot of smaller miners out there wondering what to do.

So I was just going to report to MODS but thought I would first share this gem. I think it's the best medical advice I've gotten in years... I think.

Have got bought snug considering during one bottom, you can add in the most adidas shoes store other sorts of issues to rise all the difficulty-and all the benefits-of located on a tibia.

Bear suspended and additionally exercise with a bottom amazing surface, driving any leg of up to you’re able to regarding any bosom. Over time grasp across and additionally snatch beneath it any other sorts of bottom, interlacing any fingers together with fists here any paws. For a incorporated test, you can look at boosting all the airborne tibia. You decide, don't forget to store place tibia secured!

That time period you'll certainly be presenting any non-balancing tibia in back of the human body, and not just ahead of. Bear suspended and additionally exercise with a tibia in back of you will, grabbing all the leg along with the grip [urlhttp://www.jcboostshop.com/ultra-boost- BREAK 30-c-19.html]http://www.jcboostshop.com/ultra-boost-30-c-19.htmlurl] for the equal team (most suitable grip to make sure you most suitable bottom, accessories. )#). Right buy adidas sneaker from right, grasp any other sorts of activate throughout the discuss, incline front and additionally take any lower back tibia like superior throughout the discuss that they can. Make sure you construct total amount just by while doing so kicking any bottom straight to any grip at the same time arriving at any other sorts of activate front by means of same trigger.

At this time you could hope to acquire a filled deadlift throughout the formula, in which will involve far more effectiveness and additionally total amount than just place. Begin by place suspended by means of a tibia elevated throughout the discuss around you will.

Here is the why and who in regards to escrow.

How can we trust you??

Here is a set of guidelines with some info you can update in your OP, if you actually have the item

3326  Other / Meta / Re: [Guide] Reporting effectively on: July 02, 2018, 05:05:35 AM
When I come across a post like that if it's more than a few minutes old I report it like a "Low Quality" no content post. I think it is just spamming. Welsh's above post is how you literally bump a thread.

@Welsh like the thread, I have something to look forward to at 300 good reports. I want to see where I messed up the 5 I got wrong.

Edit: Just came across a situation where I want to report a post in Meta, User literally posted like they are signing up for a bounty in a random thread. Who handles these?
3327  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS] AntMiner S9 ( and others ) on: July 02, 2018, 05:00:26 AM
Your trust and user settings resets tell me this is a waste of my time; but may help others avoid.

Post your ad using these guidelines.
3328  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: WTS: Z9 Mini on: July 02, 2018, 04:39:45 AM
You should post a photo of the miner regardless using a handwritten note and date stamp to prove you have the miner.

Feel free to do it in the same place you shot the video to provide validity; or ad yourself into the photo seeing as your face is out there anyways.

Good luck with the sale.
3329  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: WTS Antminer S9i on: July 02, 2018, 04:34:42 AM
If you go to the the help tab and select posting it will show you how to insert the image. What you are missing is a link to the photo on a website like imgur. You place that link in between the tags.

Link to BB Code for forum

Being a newbie you can do that and someone would need to quote it for it to show up, or you can just post a link to the photo.

Here is a a guideline I wrote up for posting a [WTS] ad

3330  Other / Meta / Re: Going beyond post counts on: July 02, 2018, 02:46:16 AM
It's hard on the newbies, they're less knowledgeable, and they need merit to rank up.

It's hard to post quality posts, so who's going to give them merit???

But some need a certain amount of posts (Merit and Activity) to join campaigns.

And this is where you lost anyone who had hung in there to read the whole post.

Don't come here to join campaigns and make money. Yes I wear a SIG, before you go there. I didn't start that way though, I was a member nearly full I think when I discovered the campaigns and figured why not if I'm already that active on the forum.

Quality posts aren't hard there are an abundance of guides out there for ways to improve, but it usually boils down to this. Don't post in a mega thread, AD something of value, or even ask a decent question and engage in a conversation on the topic.

Edit: FTFY, most sig campaign seekers have no issue spamming enough posts

The best way to drum up some business would you be able to post photos of the gear you have on hand.

Also include things like Payment options.

Here is a guide I'm working on for sale posts, these are not rules just a good start to drum up business.

3332  Other / Meta / Re: Posting guidelines for Computer Hardware section on: July 02, 2018, 01:34:53 AM
I'm not surprised at all you would take it in a more technical direction for validity.

Is this inline with the information you are suggesting?
https://www.blockchain.com/en/btc/blocks

I don't see anything inherently wrong with that, it is really another timestamp to within approximately 10 minutes. For the most part I don't think it would be a necessary addition but it could be a nice follow up question if you don't trust the photos that have been provided. For instance say you come across a sale and then notice the same images in another sale thread, you could request this to validate the authentic seller.

I don't think I will add it in as a base guideline for ADS, unless the current format proves to be ineffective. If it does become necessary I would maybe only ask for the last 6 characters of the Hash, to keep the note clean.

Once I know if the link is the information you were suggesting I will find a place for it, maybe under  a "valid follow up questions" heading or something.

Thanks for the idea.

Not a bad idea, as the board does relate to their reputation within the forum.

I know I was here months before I ever came across the board. Even then it was only because someone I had a shady deal with tried to do the same to someone else and a Member suggested I post my interactions on their  thread.
3336  Other / Meta / Re: Posting guidelines for Computer Hardware section on: July 01, 2018, 09:06:16 AM
This is by no means perfect or complete. Feel free to suggest any edits or additions you would like.

I'm interested in suggestions from others on how someone can provide proof/validity to hosted machines?

I decided to do a post for this as I probably post most of these points as questions on shady ads, 10x a week, and see likely 10x more that others post on. Not that they always get read but it might make a nice sticky in the Computer Hardware section.


I don't really care if my post goes there or if someone creates a better formatted or more visually appealing post. I just feel that it would be a nice tool in the community policing itself.
3337  Other / Meta / Re: Posting guidelines for Computer Hardware section on: July 01, 2018, 09:06:08 AM
Reserved for updates.

Edited:
OP to include suggestion from Frodocooper, and to ad an after the sale section.
Added second Escrow list

[WTS] Posting guidelines for physical goods

** Broker or selling many items see this - [Template] for Brokers or Market type sellers - Not a sale thread

Following these simple steps will give you the best chance at generating interest in your item. Failure to do so will create delays in finding a buyer and foster an environment of distrust.

Please list all relevant information in the OP this includes:
  • Description of item for sale
  • Asking Price and acceptable currency
  • Shipping- Where from, any restrictions, whether or not it is included in sale price
  • Methods of payment accepted- Standard practice is Forum Trusted Escrow, Additional Escrow List with Ranking, or Paypal Goods and Service is also generally accepted
  • Item condition

A picture is worth a 1000 words

What has come to be expected to avoid fraudulent sellers is photographic proof, you should have photos fit this format:
  • Clearly show the item for sale
  • Include a handwritten note containing a date stamp and your forum user name. [1]Including the hash of the latest Bitcoin block and its associated block height in the note will also verify that at that moment in time the goods are in the sellers posession
  • If there is hashrate related information screenshots are nice to include

Example:

I understand that with some ranks pictures do not show up. Post the link anyways as a higher rank member can quote you and the photos will then be displayed.

Things to avoid:
This is useful for both buyers and sellers, and contains practices considered red flags.
  • Creating a self-moderated topic for your sale- This applies to newer accounts, should you feel you are being trolled report the posts to moderator. Older accounts if you do self-moderate deleted posts should be quoted to remain transparent  
  • Do not create locked topics requesting PM's or communication via other platforms. This again is for transparency

After the sale
  • Update the thread title as either Sold, Closed, or something suitable
  • Post in the thread the outcome, this helps provide insight as to whether a valid trade transaction place
  • Lock the thread once finished, and updated. Once all relevant information has been shared there is no need to leave it open, as it may get bumped months later. Do not lock the topic if there is still a discussion/dispute ongoing as this can be seen as shady or untrustworthy behavior

No one's buying it

It happens to all of us, we think something is worth selling but the world disagrees. Here are some things to consider to help keep the boards clean.
  • You may need to reduce the price, or adjust other terms to find a buyer
  • Might need to move to another platform for the sale - This is the first place I go to sell things generally, but if it doesn't move I'll try local markets or that Bay full of fees
  • There is no limit on how long an ad can be posted but if you've been bumping it for 2 weeks and no one's biting, this is a good indication it's time to reevaluate

[1] This is a more valid form of proof of possession, as I could take a picture with a date 6 months from now. Using this I could then post an ad, despite having sold the equipment months before. Of course the use of Escrow will help protect against these situations.


3339  Other / Meta / Re: Temporary Account Ban Issue [Please Resolve, @mrep] on: July 01, 2018, 08:26:26 AM

Please consider the issue. Please don't review beginning posts as they are not the reason of ban nor I continued to do so.
Thanks!


I love the what did I do wrong, but don't look over here approach. I couldn't help myself and went to review these earlier posts that weren't the reason for the ban, and my favorite..."nor I continued to do so".

Unfortunately your post history wouldn't load for me. I'm going to take a wild swing and say you are lucky the Ban is only 30 days, and it's probably not a big loss to the community in any way.
