The OP talks about how the first number is about how "consistently" the user has received positive feedback. The second number is the number of scams. Then the third and fourth numbers are said to increase with positive feedback with the fourth being less vunerable to abuse. Is there any more detailed explanation about what these numbers mean? It's not crucial I'm just curious about it.
Yup, I'm still waiting for this too. I'm thinking now that only theymos knows, or someone else probably would have chimed in by now.

Stop using the new replies feature. Use the watchlist feature instead.
one can always check out the watch list and reply to the threads accordingly. Exactly. The watchlist shows posts that are on your watchlist and have new replies. Interesting, I appreciate the clarifications about the software. I'll be using the watchlist a little more nowadays. Also, because do participate in the ad campaigns, I probably won't be deleting old posts because of the way it would screw with the bookkeeping. However, in some extreme cases, I may end up doing the delete method. I'm going to lock this thread now as it seems more or less resolved. Thanks again folks.

I wish I had a link but I can't find it now. It seems to me that the absolute bat-shit craziest idea on this topic that some people are apparantly pushing is calling 100satoshi a "bit". I can't imagine anything more confusing that confounding an atomic unit of computer storage (1 bit) with 100 atomic units of btc. Have you guys heard of this?

@sed: If you offer free money or money for very very little you will always instantly find people. Heck, people do faucets for 0.0<ridiculous amount of zeros>1 USD an hour. Check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forehead_advertising Even though that is a lil hardcore if you ask me, the lady with coca cola on her forehead made it to national television ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . Wow about the person with forehead advertizements. You know, I always thought that computer makers, car manufacturers, tshirt makers, anyone with their logo on a product I buy should have to pay me to wear their logo. Therefore I almost always put a sticker over my computer maker and I don't have a car anyway but if I did I'd probably pull of the car company logo.

I worked my ass off for 1 year and 6 months grinding 24 seven to reach 50k and now im a legacy kriller you double dipping throw your players under the bus cretin.
Is there such a thing as a "legacy" kriller? Doesn't legacy imply that the system has changed and that the said legacy person is under the old system or is grandfathered in in some way? Clarification?

Hey there PRC. I played some poker freerolls on your site over a year ago. Good to see you are still around.
I'd second the motion that if you want to compete with primedice you probably ought to pay weekly.
The other thing is that many folks are going to be hesitant to advertize for you for a month if they aren't too sure you'll pay. Why not throw some fundage into a trusted escrow and why not go weekly for the first 4 weeks?

Would be nice, wouldn't take any time to change, add a simple href tag. Replying to the post above mine, blockchain.info is a specific company, but I haven't used any other blockchain. Maybe a bitcoin:15syp6mtPPqGAourRxgTJqnYyeAKHH6yiQ link would be nice also. bitcoin: prefix indicates a protocol or something? I think that's interesting. I guess the idea would be that you set your browser to prefer what it wants to do with bitcoin: links kinda like mailto: links or something?

To me Since I know I will post 300 or more a month all I really want is a campaign to stay around.
...
So whatever stunna wants I am all for it even if he chooses to end the campaign since it is his money.
Has he insinuated that he's thinking of closing it?

I think the OP is quite off the mark on this one. Using SI prefixes is a really normal thing to do. Do you say "I'm going to visit my friend in the next town, he lives just 25000 meters away", or do you say "25km"? It's really the same thing. Similarly, most likely you talk about the size of your hard drive in GigaBytes, not 1000000000s of Bytes.
I would, however, agree with you about these proposals for other funky named units "BITS", etc, that stuff does sound like some other coin and it's weird.
SI prefixes are quite standard, however, and they are very useful.

Why is 24 July a mythical date?
The last two bubble peaks were 234 days apart. The 24th was 234 days after the last one. I think the world is just a teensier bit less predictable than that. Aha, yes, I see now why he it called it "mythical". Thanks for the explanation.

Exactly. The unit bias issue is a real issue. Because you and I are smart enough to understand it, doesn't mean the average person is, or even fairly well educated people who just don't know a lot about bitcoin. Services like Coinbase, blockchain.info, Bitstamp, etc. need to start showing prices in mBTC. Bitcoinity started doing so about 6 months ago, and I believe Coinbase has an option to display in mBTC, but it needs to be default.
I've wondered what would be the effect if a bunch of big players in the industry got together and made a big announcement that "Because of bitcoin's many spectacular successes over the past several years, bitcoin is going to do a 1 : 1000 split with one bitcoin divided into 1000 units that industry leaders will call Dorians. At the current price of $620 per bitcoin, the new Dorians can be obtained for only $0.62." Then go on to explain that people are already anticipating another 1:1000 split in 3 years or so, with various names being considered ... Good idea. I hope they do it. I don't know if you guys are right about this. I mean you can already set your wallet to display your amount in some relevant units. If, for example, many many places accepted btc, they would at this point, probably show their prices on their products/menus in mBTC. And that would be fine. I mean, just think about the opposite, when you go to Korea you pay in 1000s of units. This is fine, people easily abbreviate it as necessary.

Well, except that it can't be included here because the guy running this thread has just opined above that he doesn't see a place for it. I, personally, agree. I'd hate to see this thread cluttered with things like dolphincoins.

You would think that only newbies to Bitcoin google it so Google trends would only indicate new people interested in Bitcoin. However, with the news aspect of Google search many old Bitcoin users will also search for the term bitcoin again and again. As a result, the trend will be ever-increasing, don't you think?
I suppose that the number of google searches for bitcoin is probably a pretty good proxy measure for how many people know about bitcoin, not just the newbs. Like you said, old-timers will search for bitcoin on google just to make a popular site pop up now and again. Also, now that google has added bitcoin exchange rates to its currency conversion widget, that's another reason to google for bitcoin even if you're an old-timer. However, I suppose that at some point in the future, the number of people who know about bitcoins will stabilize and at that point the number of google hits probably will stop increasing.

Yah I've been wondering about the biggish drop in price yesterday. I have no idea if you're right about the retailers or if the other dude is right about China. But it is curious. Thanks for the theory, I'm not sure it's "proven" but it is interesting.

I really think it depends on what level you're starting from. If you have a strong learning in data types and algorithms and how computers work then you probably can just get started with the syntax and specifics of javascript. If, however, you've never written any code before then you probably need to start with basics about how computers work, how data is stored and manipulated, what are the basic datatypes and how do programming languages allow you to manipulate them.

even if we get a bull-run towards $1,500, the gains would be the worst ever.. at least year-to-year. at least in terms of price.
but so far we've seen a lot of stability and merchant adoption rate.
Exactly. I'm totally happy if bitcoin valuation takes it slow and we see it more and more used a currency. Let it gain ground as a medium of exchange. I personally find the huge bull runs scary because I'm worried about the collapse that happens when the dumping starts. I honestly wish I could pay more of my bills in bitcoins and get more of my income in bitcoins. I'd like to see more movement of bitcoins between parties involved in economic exchange, not just currency trading and whatnot.

Ok, to the folks who say "money is money". I understand your argument. However, for many of these altcoins they aren't really money. Or the value of them is a money is so speculative that it's hard to say with any confidence whether or not they are money. Anyway. I guess I wonder whether this is all abstract or whether there actually is some campaign that's paying in altcoins.
If there is some campaign that's paying in altcoins, and for those that really really want to see those listed, why not just start your own overview thread? You can advertize it as the 'all inclusive non-discriminatory' overview thread. If your thread ends up more popular than this one, then viola, you were right!

I think I would rejoin this campaign if BTC goes back up over 1000$. It seems like bitmixer.io keeps their 0.01 payout per week very constant no matter what the value of BTC. That's why I say it.

Updates regarding the Campaign, all BTC payments will be shutdown. Coinsource are ceasing BTC payments so should be removed (or an alt coin section created ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ). Thanks, I have removed them from the OP. I won't create an Altcoin section, because this is a Bitcoin related forum. Altcoins are tolerated, but I won't add them to this overview, since I don't really like them. If there was a LTC campaign I might add them, but that's all ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) i would advertise any coin for 0,002 per post ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Paid in BTC or paid in the anycoin? If it's paid in BTC then it belongs here, if it's paid in the altcoin then it doesn't (IMO).
