I`m not part of the sig campaign ,I`m just advertising the affiliate link for somebody.

But he told me that since I wear the signature, he is not getting any referrals.

I even redesigned the signature to be more visible but still nothing. I think the full member signature that you guys wear is a total crap, nobody clicks on that.

But not even my enhanced signature works. Any ideas why?

Should I redesign it with better colors?

Dont put out your phone number and e-mail like that, you will get many spam e-mails and sms's that way. You should edit your post and remove it.

Better open a thread in the marketplace sector and ask there for buyers, then you will just PM them your info.

It solves many issues and here is one of them :



Brilliant Cheesy

That needs to be a meme, I totally see bitcoin becoming the main international transaction vehicle, replacing essentially the dollar

2025, and bitcoin could be a de-facto reserve currency of EARTH!
3765  Economy / Economics / Re: A Resource Based Economy on: October 12, 2015, 12:07:17 PM

I reiterate Webster's definition of "free market" - which you expressly agreed with:
" an economic market or system in which prices are based on competition among private businesses and not controlled by a government ", my emphasis.

You need to show that the Gov. is somehow directly controlling prices "among private businesses" - who to my knowledge do not pay GST or VAT - such as thwarting price dumping which stifles competition.

Instead, you seem to be arguing for a completely unregulated market, which however is not supported by the definition. Indeed, I could argue that the gov. is controlling the oil price by warring; or that a mosquito farting in the jungle turns into a hailstorm destroying crops controls prices; or that a company employing "slave labor" moves into an area and dumps prices controls prices - the definition is however much narrower.

Besides, even if you managed to show that it's not a free market according to the definition above, you still need to show that the money paid for GST or VAT, in turn, was not competed for and not put to good use, such as infrastructure, education, medical etc. and that a completely unregulated market would have disposed of those resources more efficiently - good luck!

Some companies , closer to politicians, can get VAT cuts on certain products.

Also the VAT is not uniform for all products, thus it will create a gap between the supply & demand.

If you have say 5% VAT on bread, and 4% VAT on restaurant menu's, then the restaurant is better off if they produce the bread themselves instead of buying it from a bakery, since they save 5% VAT on it, and only pay the 4% vat on every menu served.

This example clearly shows how the economy is distorted by them. Not to mention the wallets of the consumers.

Direct/indirect doesnt matter, the influence is pretty big, and you cant deny it, thus it is not a free market, that is heavily controlled, or at least influenced.

The dictionary definition is correct, but it is very narrow, the free market is a broader definition, while that definition is correct, thats only 1 pillar of the free market. Far more criterias need to be correct in order for us to talk about free market for example:

-Absolutely no government interference in the market: no regulation ,no taxes, no interfering laws ,and no quotas
-Free creation of marketplaces that facilitate the supply & demand exchange
-No interference in the natural exchange cycles
-Free choice of the nature,quantity, quality, price, and currency, of the tradable item/service.

Without those criterias, I would not talk about free market.

Ain't no such thing as a risk-free investment.



Yea but we want to earn money here. I dont know about his investment program.

But I know this for a fact: without risk there is no reward, this is true for everything in life.
3767  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Did you earn some bitcoin today? on: October 12, 2015, 10:57:35 AM
Depends, I earned a bit, but then I lost in in gambling. I should not gamble anymore, and only trade altcoins  Tongue

It was 0.005 if I remember correctly.
3768  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: non programming jobs that pay in btc? on: October 12, 2015, 10:56:40 AM
Anyone know of any?


Search on google, bitcoin tasks or bitcoin jobs, and you will find plenty.

One that comes quick in my mind is this:

This thread should be pinned, or atleast discussed more, it really helps newbies not to create 1000 new threads/day with the same qurstion.

Well done, this thrread was a lot of work, you deserve some donations

Does this Bitcoin thing provide new and interesting ecommerce sales opportunities?  We are looking to find out how!  Hello Bitcoin.

You can earn tons of money with bitcoin, not just as sales, but as new marketing niche for getting customers.

Try out a few bitcoin ad sites and see for yourself:

3771  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Cheapest electricity in the world on: October 12, 2015, 10:52:50 AM
I am wondering which countries in the world have the cheapest electricity, and would thus be ideal for mining bitcoins.

I am from Australia, and I can tell you that we have some of the most overpriced electricity in the world, meaning I will probably need to go overseas if i want to mine competitively.

Iceland, China, or buy your own solar panels and move near the equator.

Where I live its pretty sunny, but I cant afford a solar panel setup plus I live in apartment. But if you live in a house, its easy, eventually take out a loan, because the amount you save in electricity will be unheardof.
3772  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where to get highest free BTC? on: October 12, 2015, 10:48:01 AM
Any website where can I get high BTC without invest?  Cool

Try some casino faucet, claim the bitcoin, and then use that money to gamble it higher, then if you git the witdhrawal limit, cashout.
3773  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Use cases. What do you actually use Bitcoin for? on: October 12, 2015, 10:41:22 AM
Most of them keeping stashed offline.

Some of them trading at yobit for altcoins and making a dime here and there. I dont shop, and I dont consume for the moment Smiley
3774  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Discussions about digital currencies in some countries. What future for bitcoin? on: October 12, 2015, 10:40:19 AM
I think from my observations that the best innovation will come from either Netherlands or Spain, both countries got tons of active posts on the forum.

However in terms of users, I think more like: Indonesia, India and Russia.
3775  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How long did it take you to make 1 BTC? on: October 12, 2015, 10:37:27 AM
i exchange my first 0.5 btc from perfect money start of year...investing in some hyip on mmg and mmgpru i have made some good money.
if you have knowledge you can make good money from your skills!

The only skill you need there is to spot scam sites. Most HYIPs are scams, if they are not you can definitely make money, but 99% of them is so your need to filter out that factor above anything else.

Might earn 1-2 btc from them sure.
3776  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you had to choose to put 5 BTC into 1 BTC investment, what would that be? on: October 12, 2015, 10:33:46 AM
So, if you had to select only 1 single BTC related investment to put 5 BTC into it, what would that be?

I know a lot of people re going to say there are no safe and sustainable BTC investments but I strongly disagree. Once you exclude HYIPs and ponzies, you can do well in the crypto world.
What would you choose and why?

Investment in gambling sites, loaning out at btcjam or buying bitfinex swaps with it.

If the risk is manageable then it would not mind about it, but make sure you investigate it before investing.
3777  Economy / Speculation / Re: I have halted all purchases paying with Bitcoin on: October 12, 2015, 10:31:54 AM
...

Recently I made a decision to just stand pat re my BTC holdings.  I had made various experiments into buying gold (from veldtgold.com here at bitcointalk) and providentmetals.com, both of them gave me good & rapid service when paying by Bitcoin.

But, my wife is less-than-enchanted with me buying more gold, so I will just HODL the rest of my BTC "pile", and wait to see what happens in the near and medium term future.

I am inclined to believe that BTC will likely go higher from here, with a lesser chance of going much higher, but I have less insight into that than many BTC veterans and experts.

So, I will just sit on the sidelines now, and cheer the BTC price on up.  If ti reaches very high numbers, I will re-evaluate my HODL, and turn them back into CA$H or gold.  In other words, my BTC are now in "strong hands", I am not going to let them go.

Yes its an interesting phenomena.

Males are money earners, women are money spenders.

Males want to earn more money by sometimes excessively taking risks, while women are more financial conservatives, trying to look for realistic gains and preserve status quo.

Better listen to your wife now, and keep your risk low, because you probably bought tons of them.
3778  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you believe we need more ways of advertising Bitcoin currency? on: October 12, 2015, 10:28:40 AM
Yes we need more, but as some people said, we should not be so agressive on marketing until the blocksize debat is over, because we dont want tons of new people jumping in, right when the block is fully.

I mean imagine all the newbies how mad they would be if the transactions would have huge backlogs.
3779  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: why you mostly like bitcoin compare to other digital currency? on: October 12, 2015, 10:27:30 AM
i heard many Cryptocurrency but why people mostly use bitcoin?


Oldest, most secure (in the world), easy to use, many audited wallets available, easier to spend than others, many shops accept it, many ATMs, etc.

Simply put, BITCOIN is NR1. Period.
3780  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin growth going exponential? on: October 12, 2015, 10:23:10 AM
https://blockchain.info/en/charts/my-wallet-n-users?timespan=180days&showDataPoints=false&daysAverageString=1&show_header=true&scale=0&address=

Seems to be curving upwards slightly. Of course this is just a sample of possible growth indicators, and it does not mean that all wallets created are new users. But nevertheless it does appear to be the beginnings of exponential growth, perhaps.

Also of interest, 16 August 4M wallets, 12 October 4.5M wallets. 500k in about 57 days. Not bad.


I`m waiting for coindesks Q3 report:
http://www.coindesk.com/research/

I dont think its exponential, but it sure double/triples in a half year period, i dont know how faster it will grow later on, but definitely the next year will be exciting after the halving.

I can see bitcoin at 5000$ by then easily.
