No, spend your time making $ then buy BTC with that $.  The amount of time it takes to get something out of a faucet makes for a very low wage.

Plus, such a reply with 'go away' coming from a moderator, is... 
It questions the very standards of this forum...

Please think, this is an official BitcoinTalk forum, and it is polluted not only by rude, out of content comments but also rude moderators.


Moderators can't have personal opinions?

I'll agree with BadBear, you should go away.

Regarding this API limitation? Are you saying that btc-e api doesn't give your bot the ability to check current BTC/USD balances in realtime?

I appreciate your concenrn.

We do check balances obviously but there is no way to see if balance was increased by manual operation, robot trading or manual extra deposits. We recommend that you start fresh BTC-e acc and deposit just once before trading.



Strange, this answer confuses me a bit more. Well, maybe not so strange Smiley

How could there be no way of telling if balance was increased by manual operation? You know our USD/BTC balances. The bot obviously knows what trades it has executed, when, and for how much. I'm missing something here.

Lazy programming, same reason you can't make the bot run based off of BTC instead of $.

Don't use web wallets.

Seriously - it always ends in tears.

This is some great advice.


It sounds like TF doesn't know how to handle security, I wouldn't touch anything he does now and would advise others to stay away.
385  Other / Meta / Re: Cant Post In Newbie on: November 07, 2013, 01:26:44 AM
The forums count "logging in" or "sending an PM" as "posting"

tysat, you should probably add the whole 360 seconds thing to the Newbie Sticky. Not that anyone will read it.

Good call, edit time!

API documentation says otherwise... All you have to do is pull trade and transaction history, then do a little bit of comparing to figure out why the balance changed.

I can't figure out why someone would create a new account, then proceed to necro 3 different threads about QR codes/barcodes.

Who's got a good idea?
388  Other / Meta / Re: Post count whores and the activity tell tale on: November 04, 2013, 11:16:44 PM
Is it just me that thinks it looks a bit dodgy when someone has activity of under 50 and post count 1000+? They must looove the forum...but not enough to read it, just post like crazy.
It makes you check their last posts, which undoubtedly show what songs they are listening to, lots of pictures and hi to every newbie on the board Roll Eyes
Use the report to moderator button if you feel the need and we will review the user and take appropriate action.

The odds are a person like that is spamming to get something, possibly a payout for signature space.

Please report any spam posts you see.
389  Other / Meta / Re: Request: a way to post on the forum without an account on: November 03, 2013, 02:42:54 PM
Why not just create a new account (over a VPN) then only post from TOR?  Easy way to post anonymously.

People who work in the service industry have it tough enough, I'm not going to make them jump through hoops to get their tip.

Come on, where is your contribution to The Movement?

Trying to keep the forums clean doesn't count?

I could do this, you either send me BTC first or use JohnK for escrow.  PM me some more details.
392  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Alt-Coins on: November 02, 2013, 01:48:57 PM
Alt-coins are the only way BTC avoids being an inefficient monopoly. Competition is almost always a good thing. Though maybe it would be good if there were only 3 or 4 alt-coins. I'm thinking maybe just LTC, FTC and Peercoin. More communities working on solving the challenges of cryptocurrency sounds like a good thing, though they are mushrooming too much.


BTC would never be what is now, without altcoins. You have to admint that

What do altcoins add that Bitcoin needs?

Is constant bumping considered spamming?



Bumping is limited to 1 bump per 24 hours.

395  Other / Meta / Re: (PETITION) Fix the bitcoin price of Donator and VIP ranks to fiat. on: November 01, 2013, 02:04:21 PM
Not going to happen.

If you had done some research you would have found many other threads asking the same thing.  The price has been fixed in BTC and will stay that way.  New ranks may be created in the future, but current donator and VIP ranks will never lower in price.
396  Other / Meta / Re: Tysat is misusing the trust system on: October 30, 2013, 06:42:34 PM
hmm. i necro a thread every now and again. seems a bit harsh.

i would be upset if i got bad trust for that.

I'm not doing it for everything, just spammy ones really.  Plus I'm removing the trust feedback if someone talks to me about it.


Edit:

Also, why do most people write Tysat instead of tysat?  Seems like everyone is blind as to what I use  Grin
397  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcointalk run by Scammers acusation on: October 30, 2013, 03:50:44 PM
Anyone else notice this today on the front page of bitcointalk.com:

BitcoinTalk Discussion Board - WARNING – While Bitcointalk.org has a wealth of information about Bitcoin and some very knowledgeable members  be aware that the site is run by scammers.  Do not trust any of the ads and since the site administrators encourage the sale of accounts you can never be sure who you are dealing with.  The site is being investigated by various law enforcement entities and was mentioned in a recent criminal indictments involving very serious crimes including torture and murder for hire as well as investment schemes.  If you need technical support try MillyBitcoin.com

They do?  It's allowed because it would be a lot harder to stop, and this way everyone knows that it's happening.  I've never seen any posts encouraging account sales by an admin.
398  Other / Meta / Re: Tysat is misusing the trust system on: October 30, 2013, 12:40:27 PM
Tysat, a moderator, gives people negative trust for reasons that have nothing to do with trust. Here are his reasons for not trusting users:

Quote
"Posted a new altcoin called "bitcoin" but it's a scrypt version instead of SHA256"
"Posting altcoin stuff in the newbie section"
"Sells Bitcoin Robot which doesn't actually make you BTC, ... Portfolio is valued in $ instead of BTC, this is what caused the issues."
"Necros super old thread for no reason"
"Sells accounts"
"Thread necro'er"
"Necro'd 2 month old post"
"Necro'd a 2 year old post"
"Necro'd 8 month old thread"
"More speculation in the newbie section"
"Necro'd alt-coin thread in the newbie section that was 4 months old"

As you can see. None of these have to do with trust or scams -- he just doesn't like the post or that someone responded to an old post.

Digging up and replying to old posts is a red flag for sketchiness or someone who doesn't understand how forums work, usually it's the second.  If that's the case the trust rating is used to get their attention, and I'll remove after talking with the person via PM.


EDIT:
I feel pretty confident in my ability to defend any of the feedback I've left as well, and if I can't defend the feedback then it will be removed.  Feel free to challenge me on anything specific and I'll let you know the reasoning behind me leaving it.

Watch this video discussing bitcoin profit potential in the new era of Currency 2.0 Bitcoin


http://youtu.be/A2Cjo7CHh6w

And you base your robot's profit off of $ instead of BTC?

Seems a little silly.
400  Other / Meta / Re: DefaultTrust is BAD. Very bad. on: October 28, 2013, 09:12:03 PM
Is it even possible to remove DefaultTrust? When I tried removing it on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust it appears again.

I hate to see people with +100 trust that I don't trust at all.

Yes, but you can't have a blank trust list.  Put someone else there in place of DefaultTrust and it should stick.
