If I can say my opinion, I don't think it's necessary to remove digital goods section. In that child board there are a lot of trusted sellers, if you find something of illegal then report it to a triated member in the default trust list (like tomatocage, vod, quickseller...) and they can warn the other users with a simple negative trust (left) to that user.

Wait, if you have money .. why don't you buy some bitcoin? Register on kraken.com  make a FIAT deposit (euros) and after buy some btc. It is really insane give euros as collateral for bitcoin...

Can you provide some valid collateral ? Like your forum account?

Iranians celebrated in the streets after negotiators reached a framework for a nuclear accord and U.S. President Barack Obama hailed an "historic understanding", but senior global diplomats cautioned that hard work lies ahead to strike a final deal. The tentative agreement, struck on Thursday after eight days of talks in Switzerland, clears the way for a settlement to allay Western fears that Iran could build an atomic bomb, with economic sanctions on Tehran being lifted in return.

It marks the most significant step toward rapprochement between Washington and Tehran since the 1979 Iranian revolution and could bring an end to decades of Iran's international isolation. But the deal still requires experts to work out difficult details before a self-imposed June deadline and diplomats said it could collapse at any time before then.

Or maybe the post with more "thanks" "like" will be highlighted respect the others and if someone is searching for an information, he can find it more faster and easier than now. What do you think guys? Is it a good or bad idea?

I can suggest you this site : http://www.walletexplorer.com/  but I think they can trace only bitcoin and not the other altcoins (try and tell me if you have find what that you were searching).

No, I don't think bitcoin can end the world poverty. Because bitcoin as we know today it is only a pure speculation but it has created a lot of opportunity to a lot of person. I think when all this speculation will terminate, the value will stabilize (also to 50-100 dollars) and we can start to bitcoin from another point of view.

Now bitcoin is only a valid and good alternative for send large quantity of money (for example) to our relatives or parents in another country, without use WU, moneygram or other money transmitter.

Yes, I'm registered few minutes ago and deposited 6 dollars (in btc). Now I should wait 6 confirm and after I'll request my [1] advcash plastic card.

Hey guys, have you ever heard about http://advcash.com (register now, don't lose your time)? A new (real) [1] anonymous bitcoin debit card, it doesn't need any type of [2] verify.

You can (also) "recharge" it directly with bitcoin !

Giant Swiss bank UBS is planning to investigate blockchain technology in a new innovation lab based in London, FInextra reports. The innovation lab, located in Level39’s high growth space, HighGrowth:42, will explore the role of blockchain technology in financial services.

UBS, a Swiss global financial services company with its headquarters in Basel and Zürich, Switzerland, provides investment banking, asset management and wealth management services for private, corporate, and institutional clients worldwide. Operating in more than 50 countries with about 60,000 employees around the world, UBS is the biggest Swiss bank and is considered as the world’s largest manager of private wealth assets, with more than 2.2 trillion Swiss francs (CHF) in invested assets.

Established by Canary Wharf Group plc, Level39 is Europe’s largest technology accelerator space for finance, cyber-securities, retail and future cities technology companies. Six months after launching in March 2013, Level39 opened the High Growth Space: 42 on the 42nd floor of One Canada Square.

“By establishing a dedicated innovation lab at Level 39 we are moving away from a purely in-house innovation strategy, optimizing collaboration opportunities with the growing FinTech business, startup and investor community in an open and transparent way,” said UBS Group CIO Oliver Bussmann. “Our innovation lab at Level39 will provide a unique platform to explore emerging technologies such as blockchain and cryptocurrencies, and to understand the potential impact for the industry.”

“The UBS team have already established their credentials at Level39 over the last two years through mentoring alongside other leading experts at various accelerator programs,” said Eric Van der Kleij, Head of Level39, Canary Wharf Group. “Oliver Bussmann’s bold public statements and vision about the future of finance show that UBS is an organization that is genuinely determined to transform and thrive in a new world of finance.”

Can you provide at least one or two addresses for prove that you are not a liar? 25'000 bitcoin ... are you serious  ?

A Chinese naval frigate has evacuated 225 foreign citizens from strife-torn Yemen, its foreign ministry said, marking the first time that China's military has helped other countries evacuate their people during an international crisis. Ten different nationalities were among the evacuees picked up on Thursday afternoon from Aden, Yemen's second city, and transported to Djibouti, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on its website late Thursday.
...
Violence has been spreading across Yemen since last year, when Iran-backed Shi'ite Houthi fighters seized the capital, Sanaa, and effectively removed President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. A Saudi-led coalition has hit the rebels with air strikes over the past week. A state television report on Friday showed evacuees, who were mostly Pakistani, arriving in Djibouti.

"We are really thankful to the Chinese government, who really helped us, and took us out (with) the school children," one woman told China Central Television. The broadcaster showed footage young children stepping off a Chinese warship waving Chinese flags, and in one case, kissing a seaman on the cheek. The evacuation of foreigners bolsters China's image at home and abroad, according to Shen Dingli, an international relations professor at Fudan University in Shanghai.

"We wouldn't look very good if we have the capacity to help others but no heart to do it," Shen said.  "Now we look really good," he added.

I have read this article (http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/it-security/ddos-attack-methods-and-how-to-prevent-or-mitigate-them/):

The easiest, although a costly way to defend yourself, is to buy more bandwidth. A denial of service is a game of capacity. If you have 10,000 systems sending 1 Mbps your way that means you're getting 10 Gb of data hitting your server every second. That's a lot of traffic. In this case, the same rules apply as for normal redundancy. You want more servers, spread around various datacenters, and you want to use good load balancing. Having that traffic spread out to multiple servers will help the load, and hopefully your pipes will be large enough to handle all that traffic. But modern DDoS attacks are getting insanely large, and quite often can be much bigger than what your finances will allow in terms of bandwidth. Plus, sometimes it's not your website that will be targeted, a fact that many administrators tend to forget.

so it is not so easy to prevent or stop a ddos attack, and theymos took the right choice and changed the IP.

Thanks for the fastest reply, but I have received this PM from a forum user:



So I don't know if you are legit or not, and if the games will be removed and my steam account "locked". I don't feel comfortable, so this time I will pass.

Thanks anyway.

Maybe the staff can choose another scheme of colors, my previous posts was only an "idea" but the colors can easily change.



Yes of course, the colorful ranks will not be more intrusive than the various signatures or "avatar" so I think it would be a very great choice.

I think (if marcotheminer will start also the avatar campaign) we should add something like that :




A normal bit-x to the right side of ours avatar but I don't know the rates per week or month.

Hi,  can I ask you how much do you want for these steam games?


- http://store.steampowered.com/app/293760
- http://store.steampowered.com/app/329970
- http://store.steampowered.com/app/330270


Only as information, I don't still decide if I will buy all those games. Thanks for the attention.

I think the OP will pay (if he will choose to start the avatar campaign) the same rate for Full member and above, essentially because they can put the same avatar so there is not a real difference between the ranks... or am I wrong?
I agree with you, the avatar is not clickable but it will be the same effect of the tv ads. Here the important will be the views not the clicks and I don't think the staff will be against this option (but the final choice is from the admin).

I know we have already discussed about the rank's color and I think it will be easy to add this option. Each rank has an own color, for example :


newbie
jr. member
member
Sr. member
Hero
Legendary
Staff

Or something like that, so the write under the username will be of that color and it can also protect "against" the fake users (that are trying to scam).
