True, but they are presumably bound by other agreement to do what Sirius says. It would be better for Sirius to have a corporation that's directly listed in the whois.


That's not what I said. The Bitcoin-Qt developers have control over the content. The Bitcoin Foundation is not the same as the Bitcoin dev group. They are two totally separate organizations.

Bitcoin.org's content is managed by the Bitcoin-Qt dev team. As such, Gavin is the ultimate authority of what stays in the GitHub repository. However, the domain is owned by Sirius, who is independent of the dev team and the Bitcoin Foundation. (He was given the domain by Satoshi.)

As I've already said, scammers are not especially likely to have "incorrect" ignore lists.


Alright, banned users are no longer counted for ignore color purposes.


Ignores already lose importance over time due to the increasing member count.


This won't do anything. You need 100 posts and 100 hours logged in for your ignores to count. Manipulation like that would be expensive, and I'd ban anyone who tried it.

Voting is the worst way of making a decision like this. Very few people will vote for, "No, I don't want a new feature that costs me nothing to have."

This feature is actually listed on the new forum software specs, so I agree that it would be helpful, but I don't think that it'll be very helpful, and so it's a low priority.

That's what I had in mind, but people would still not be happy with that. (And why should they be? No one will ever read the list of +1s.)

The emails are probably being marked as spam.

People would still post "+1" stuff all the time because they'd want their opinions to be more visible.

So we can all get crucified? 

This only appears in the Dev & Tech section.


It's just hover text, right?


I do.

They generally are disallowed, though I don't delete them all the time.

You might not see it because you're not using the default theme.

New VIP donator: mLiberty. Thanks!

He's already off to a good start. A lot of users never post.

Wallets still had multiple keys, they just weren't pooled. The key pool feature makes backups much safer.

The one I checked was from telepac.pt, same as you.


Me too. I also ban people who post nothing but insubstantial garbage.

The max number of online users isn't being tracked anymore.


Thanks.

You're not from a university IP.

In order to collect more money for the creation of good forum software and for other useful purposes, the forum is selling ad space in the area beneath the first post of every topic page.

Ads are allowed to contain any non-annoying HTML/CSS style. No images, JavaScript, or animation (no marquee or blinking). Ads must appear 3 or fewer lines tall in my browser. Ads will be prefixed with "Advertisement:". Ad text may not contain lies, misrepresentation, or inappropriate language. Ads may not link directly to any NSFW page. Ads may be rejected for other reasons.

There are 10 total ad slots which are randomly rotated. So one ad slot has a one in ten chance of appearing. Seven of the slots are for sale here. Ads appear only on topic pages with more than one post, and only for people using the default theme.

The ad lasts at least 7 days starting from when I put it up. (However, if you look at the ad history you'll see that ads frequently get 1-2 extra days, but this is random and definitely not guaranteed.)

Stats

Auction rules

Post your bids in this thread. Prices must be stated in BTC per slot. You must state the max number of slots you want. When the auction ends, the highest bidders will have their slots filled until all eight slots are filled.

So if someone bids for 7 slots @ 5 BTC and this is the highest bid, then he'll get all 7 slots. If the two highest bids are 7 slots @ 4 BTC and 1 slot @ 5 BTC, then the first person will get 6 slots and the second person will get 1 slot.

The notation "2 @ 5" means 2 slots for 5 BTC each. Not 2 slots for 5 BTC total.

- When you post a bid, the bids in your previous posts are considered to be automatically canceled. You can put multiple bids in one post, however.
- All bid prices must be evenly divisible by 0.25.
- The bidding starts at 0.50.
- I will end the auction at an arbitrary time no more than 12 days from now. (I will probably end the auction 1-3 days before the ads are scheduled to go up.)
- If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first will have his slots filled first.
- Bids are considered invalid and will be ignored if they do not specify both a price and a max quantity, or if they could not possibly win any slots

If these rules are confusing, look at some of the past forum ad auctions to see how it's done. I also post periodic status updates which should help make things clear.

You must pay for your slots within 24 hours of receiving the payment address. Otherwise your slots may be sold to someone else.

Auction ended. Final state:
Slots BTC/Slot Person
1 3.5 Vorksholk
1 3.5 bitbook.biz
1 3.5 Bogart
4 3.25 Inaba


This is invalid. See the rules.

He may have been doing that just to throw you off, though. Unlike most ways of modifying your speech patters, that's very easy to do.
