Uhm, your article doesn't even mention which exchanges offer the best affiliate programs, it's just a promotional article for your affiliate links.
Except for Coinbase, you don't mention what rewards these different exchanges offer.

Also, you put Yobit in 3rd place? That already tells me that you're quite dishonest.
If you do a minimum of research, you'll find that it's one of the least trustworthy exchanges out there.

A while ago, I was actually thinking about joining their campaign as some sort of experiment, back when they still paid a maximum of 0.1 BTC per week (if I remember correctly).
Just to see if I could actually manage to make those 1000 posts required to get the max amount. Not sure if it was a 1000 exactly, but that's the number I vaguely remember.
Not by shitposting my way to 1000 mind you.

But yeah, I'd have some real trouble getting to those numbers, even if I treated this as a full-time job for a week.

The 25-posts-per-week campaigns are much better in that regard. If you're going to allow campaigns, I think that should really be the preferred formula.
Gotta admit that I'm also quite annoyed at seeing so many low-quality Stake posters all over the forum.
383  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Facebook coin is a global threat to BCH? - Do you agree? on: June 12, 2019, 08:31:35 AM
LOL, I have to say that this article is completely ridiculous, there are coins that offer a much better alternative for cash than BCH does.
Marketcap isn't everything you know, barely anyone is actually using BCH. If BCH was indeed what Bitcoin couldn't be, a replacement for cash, then BCH would have much more activity than Bitcoin, which clearly isn't the case.

The author if this article tries to prove his point by showing technical indicators which supposedly support his claims, yet his fundamentals are complete wrong.
384  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Royal ramble in the casino on: June 12, 2019, 08:25:57 AM
It's not unheard of, losing huge amounts of money in a short time can certainly do strange things to people.
Especially when that person has very little self-control in general, it's not a stretch for them to also act out in such a way.

Casinos are used to it though, that's why they have enough security to deal with situations like that.
385  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Hi, BitOffer, A Coming Soon Exchange waiting for you on: June 12, 2019, 08:04:38 AM
Leave comments about what? You haven't exactly specified what you want to know from people here.
Kinda difficult to give feedback on something that doesn't exist yet, given the fact that you've not given any information yourself besides 'we'll do airdrops and giveaways'.

But yeah, since you're apparently too lazy to post more info, I'll do it for you:
https://medium.com/bit-offer-english/bitoffer-ipo-ico-sto-a-grand-drama-about-freedom-and-supervision-698237249ee
https://medium.com/bit-offer-english/trading-cryptocurrency-is-no-longer-complicated-come-get-knowing-to-strengthened-investment-etf-34db3a2f0740

I don't know about this, those articles do not read as if they were written by a professional writer.
There are some really silly mistakes in there and doesn't exactly give me a lot of trust in BitOffer.
386  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Help! need 1500 People for Graduation project!!!! on: June 12, 2019, 07:35:50 AM
This is more something for the Project Development boards, you can easily move the topic there (click the 'Move' button at the bottom of the thread).
And yeah, I'll fill in the survey, but as jak3 mentioned, Google forms would be so much better than this Tongue

The link currently does not work, I'm ending up on a home improvement website...

Edit:

Nvm, now it works. I don't know what was happening with the link at first.
Somehow it sent me here: http://www.https.com//utwentebs.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bDCu7uXoh38A8l
387  Other / Meta / Re: A Request For The Other Merit Sources on: June 11, 2019, 02:15:19 PM
Having the same problem currently, but I have to make due with even less than that.
Currently getting 10 smerits per month, I've had to bookmark a bunch of posts in the past, just so I could give them some merits when my source replenished or when I earned some more.

Not really complaining though, it's not that hard to just earn some more myself and just use those.
388  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin on: June 11, 2019, 10:33:04 AM
It would be infinitely more awesome if someone became a Bitcoin millionaire by starting from scratch.
Still waiting for a story where some random kid invested his money that he earned by himself into Bitcoin.

Lol, imagine someone mowing lawns and asking to get paid in Bitcoin, with a bit of luck they could have a nice bit of savings when they're 18 Tongue
389  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: I am in need of a legit Bitcoin tumbler similar to Bit Blender on: June 11, 2019, 10:21:44 AM
Wouldn't it also be possible to mix your Bitcoins by using Monero?
I've found this tutorial, but it's still based on using Shapeshift, since Shapeshift now requires KYC, you'd have to find another service that allows you to swap coins anonymously.

390  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Don't share your email and KYC with every bounty or airdrop!!! on: June 11, 2019, 09:05:33 AM
Yeah, you really have to ask yourself whether it's worth it to put your personal identifying information in danger like that.
Heck, the US government can't even keep their databases secure, this just happened:

https://thehill.com/policy/technology/447778-cbp-says-photos-of-us-travelers-license-plate-images-were-stolen-in-data
Title: CBP says photos of U.S. travelers, license plate images were stolen in data breach

Before you know it, your data is being used to commit fraud. Are those airdrops really worth it?
391  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Announcing BPIP - The Bitcointalk Public Information Project! on: June 09, 2019, 03:55:52 PM
Something might be wrong with the merit stats, mine haven't been updating for the last couple of days.
Still stuck on 187, while my account was supposedly parsed multiple times in the past 2 days.

No biggie, just thought I'd mention it here Wink

edit: Sorry, I should really read the rest of the thread before posting
392  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tracking drugs or other stuff with the help of blockchain - Walmart, Carrefour on: June 06, 2019, 01:35:14 PM
It's good to know that Blockchain would be a help to track and trace illegal drug transactions but I don't think it would be easy. We all know that it will be easy for most users to keep their transactions anonymous but if drug dealers aren't that smart, it will be easy for them to track them.

I don't think you fully understand the OP, this isn't meant to track illegal drugs.
This is to prevent legal drugs to make it into the illegal circuit, by making every part of the production and distribution cycle traceable.
393  Other / Meta / Re: Suspicious thread - Possibly filled with sockpuppet accounts on: June 06, 2019, 01:03:29 PM
No need to be his own accounts. There are actual services available which provide ANN bumping for cheep money and people fall for it. I have warned thyemos about it some months ago, for now all what we can do is to report them, only the comment get deleted.
This is not the only case, see the last pages of this thread > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4720640.0

Oh damn, I had avoided looking at that thread for months now, because it just seemed way out of my league.
Looking at it now, it definitely makes sense that they're just using a paid service to do this.

In hindsight, I had better just posted a reply on that thread.
394  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coin or coins you never gained money with? on: June 06, 2019, 12:25:14 PM
I once was 'tricked' into doing some bounty campaigns for AVINOC, that was the biggest mistake I've ever made and put me off doing any sort of bounty campaign for good.
Looked like a silly project from the beginning, should have known better at the time really.

But yeah, we all make mistakes sometimes Tongue
395  Other / Meta / Re: Should there be a bitcointalk app? on: June 06, 2019, 11:29:46 AM
Are you having an issue browsing the forum from your mobile?
The only real problem I have on LoyceMobile is that I have to scroll a bit from left to right to read posts. A bigger screen would solve that, unless the forum formatting could change a bit.
I don't think it's worth developing an app to offer the same features a webbrowser has already.

Agreed, I regularly browse and post on Bitcointalk on mobile, haven't come across any issues, except the scrolling from left to right. (though not really an issue IMO)
Then again, I usually browse other websites in desktop mode, so I'm probably somewhat weird in that regard.
396  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: LocalBitcoins Cash-in-person trades removed? on: June 06, 2019, 11:12:29 AM

And finally after sending a proof of funds they unlocked the coins. I was lucky enough that I had received the BTC for professional services, but had I got them from mining activities, gambling or simply from a friend I would have had no chance of proving anything.

What the hell, how do you know that they wouldn't send them back if you'd gotten them from gambling or mining?
That seems a little bit worrisome, that they would keep the coins in those cases.

Damn, reason enough for me to not use LBC anymore.
397  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: More Bitcoin commercials coming!!! on: June 06, 2019, 10:50:03 AM
Ugh, I absolutely hate the song that's being used in that advert.
You hear it everywhere and it's just some stock song that's used in hundreds of videos.

Aside from that, this advert is going to appear on Youtube, right? I've seen dozens of similar advertisements there, nothing special really.
398  Other / Meta / Re: Suspicious thread - Possibly filled with sockpuppet accounts on: June 06, 2019, 10:36:09 AM
In response to Loyce's list:

It's pretty suspicious that so many newbie accounts replied to that thread.
I know how it is to post in Altcoin Discussion, you post a thread and without bumping, it quickly get buried.

It's extremely likely that most of those newbie accounts are owned by the same person.

I'm not calling for a ban of course, but it's at least a good idea to have this information out in the public.
If they're creating fake discussion among each other, it does warrant a negative trust rating.

Thanks for compiling that list @Loyce!

Just read their instructions for "Ambassadors" (aka reflink spammers)
4. How to Earn Crypto by Inviting Your Friends to Publish0x
Another good way to earn is to become an Ambassador through our Ambassador program.

When you are a Publish0x Ambassador, you earn 5% of every tip a user you refer gives to an author. For life!

All you need to do is share your ambassador link with your friends. When they register with that link, you'll earn 5% of all the tips they give to authors. Please note that neither your friends, nor the author, will be earning less from this.

Your ambassador link can also be attached to any post. Simply add your affiliate ID at the end of any URL on Publish0x. My affiliate ID is "?a=Opnel5aKBz" (without quotes) and the URL for the post you are reading right now is https://www.publish0x.com/publish0x-official-blog/how-to-earn-crypto-by-publishing-and-reading-content-on-publish0x-a-simple-mini-guide-xmmg

If I shared this post with this link: https://www.publish0x.com/publish0x-official-blog/how-to-earn-crypto-by-publishing-and-reading-content-on-publish0x-a-simple-mini-guide-xmmg?a=Opnel5aKBz (note that "?a=Opnel5aKBz" (without quotes) is added at the end of the post URL), all people who register on Publish0x after clicking on that link would be my affiliates. That means that I would earn 5% of all the tips that they give to authors.

Exactly, that's why I also shared the screenshot with that info.
The thing is, these referral links are pretty easy to miss, because you can just add them to any page of that website.

When I glanced over the thread, it was pretty clear that there were a bunch of accounts just saying the same thing, using slightly different wording.
Also, the way OP structured his sentences was pretty similar to other responses in that thread. Though that was just more of a gut feeling at my end, not actual proof.
400  Other / Meta / Re: Suspicious thread - Possibly filled with sockpuppet accounts on: June 06, 2019, 09:22:55 AM
There are 24 posts containing this reference code (together with your OP) >
the search results
I guess they can be reported as ref. links and deleted but noting more can be done.


Yeah indeed, I thought so.
Now, I'll keep an eye on these accounts in the next couple of months, in case they eventually decide to join a campaign.

I'm sure this person has created a shitload of accounts, just to either spam his referral link, bump his topics and/or participate in campaigns.
