I haven't seen 3 card monte played in my street. But I have seen it countless times in Youtube and I must say that those con artist are really good. Quick hands plus some people colluding as well. You think you already know where the correct card is, but unfortunately, the sleight of hands happens so quick, in a blink of an eye that you didn't notice anything strange.
Its can probably compare to a '3 move chess' playing played here. You are given just 3 moves to 'check mate' the opponent and bets on the side. But this is just a scam as a 3 card monte.
It's no longer being played because people know what's up and don't play it at all. Even the former con men are advising people not to play, even if they know that it's a scam. You just can't predict which card he'll drop first and how will he hold them (which one is the top and which one is the bottom, because they always grab 2 cards in one hand and 1 in the other). At the same time it started to be hard for the con men because if you observe him for a while you can see how he does it and which card gets slided. Then you simply ignore that card and he'll mechanically keep dropping it not knowing who is watching. It used to work great 50 years ago, now not so much. |

This is how help hotlines work. They get paid for receiving the call (donations from the government and the society) and after all every hotline and every charity is a business and as a business has to work to sustain itself. Nothing is free in this world and if there were no addicts they would cease to exist. That's why they are talking to you, making you feel comfortable and that's where the help ends. With a pat on the back.
It all comes down to this: nobody will help you. You have to take matters in your own hands.

For instance Anonylz above me and some others who applied here got the phrase "personal text" in there, cutting the intended text by half.  |

Are you saying that giving people money will stop them stabbing each other? You have to be a total degenerate to even think about murdering someone and more money won't change you. Will a father of a small child who lost a job and can't support his family suddenly start stabbing people to get their wallets and phones? The answer is no. Those murderers are usually immigrants from Africa and Asia, members of organized crime syndicates, drug addicts and dealers, even whores stab to eliminate competition. Throwing pounds at them won't change it.

Besides, according to campaign terms and conditions: Accounts with negative trust will not be accepted. If you receive a negative trust while enrolled, please immediately inform us. Otherwise, you will be automatically removed from the participation list.
What's the reason the duo of Getcoinsite and Arthotdog were selected, when there are other applicants without negative trust? I'll give you 2 tips: 1. Avoid quoting walls of text, especially when they already exist on the same page. It just takes space and forces people to scroll through it. 2. Check the date when he got negative trust and you'll know why he was accepted. |

Who's going to escrow the funds?
Escrow??? I don't know why no one talks about escrow any more. Is it because of the scarcity of campaigns here or what? Besides, that's a newbie account trying to run a campaign. They are asking about escrow all throughout this thread, but to no effect. I've applied at first but will withdraw if OP doesn't give a good explanation as to why there's nobody trusted managing/escrowing for him. @BitsGap i strongly recommend you to use Escrow to attract more members and set minimum earned merit requirement, so you could filter and get member with constructive post easier.
I would liketo join.
However, you need to get a escrow and use a merit requirement(about 20 earned merit at least)
You're running like moths to a flame, so let me add some sense to the thread.
Think about it before you apply.
Campaign started by a newbie, without a manager, even though there are many looking for work
No escrow.

I second this. If OP doesn't want to say a few words to the camera his whole profile is almost certainly fake. Why would you want to start a fake profile on an exchange? It can be anything from small level money laundering by a weed dealer, through a medium size deep web marketplace, all the way to laundering for a big organized group of smugglers, or car thieves. Do you really want your face connected to this mess?
Maybe he just wants to be anonymous for personal reasons. Why don't you jabs understand anonymity has nothing to do with criminal activities? One can just be anonymous because he doesn't believe in having his personal information over the internet? I don't see anything wrong with that. Maybe, or maybe not. I'm not telling him not to do it. I'm telling other people not to help him because it can get them involved in some serious shit. Do you know what a criminal impersonation is? It's one of the things that you may get into when you verify someone's fake identity. You can say that an exchange is not a financial institution and cryptocurrency isn't a financial instrument, but I wouldn't want to have to explain that in court. Would you? If you want to take that risk for $100 be my guest, but you will never know if this verified account won't get sold by OP to someone else when he's done doing his thing. |

$100 for KYC? A person's identity is more than that and isn't even worth for any penny. I wouldn't allow someone to use my identity to be used for an account verification / KYC to an exchange. How can I know if that's really for an exchange.
And OP's account is a newbie and he can just leave the forum anytime because its a throwaway account. Don't let anyone take your identity even for any amount, your name is at stake and OP can use your identity for a criminal act.

This is a general service section where you offer jobs paid in Bitcoin and fiat. If you're starting an altcoin project and planning to pay people in tokens, you should move this thread to the appropriate altcoin section: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=161.0 I'm also interested what this project is all about. With the number of scam projects circulating in the crypto space, the more you reveal, the better. |

Basically – life without parole. A lot of death penalty proponents stipulate that convicted criminals will be out on the streets in seven to twenty years, potentially unleashing them back on society. Nobody wants a vengeful serial killer or rapist back on the streets and free to track down the people who testified against him – that’s a scenario straight out of a nightmare! But in reality, most people sentenced to life without parole for violent crimes are not released at all, and the ones who are usually released after at least 25-30 years in prison, by which point most of them are old men and women anyway. As mentioned above, life without parole also costs a lot less and allows for mistakes to be corrected. Overall, we feel like the death penalty has a lot of negative sides and no positive ones, and while life without parole is not a perfect solution, it certainly beats the alternative.
Who is going to pay for that? Murderers usually know that they can spend the next 20 years in jail. Does it stop them from taking lives? Would "no parole" change the crime rates? IMO it wouldn't. As a result the same murderers who are now leaving the system after 20 years will have to stay there for another 20, despite being old, grumpy, and unable to care for themselves. What's the point of keeping a 70 or 80 year old grandpa in prison? |

A new account plagiarising articles. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2465080For instance: There have been many cases where people consider the cryptocurrency market as another version of the stock market with no difference. The first explanation people are quick to give to cryptocurrency is that "it's like a stock." After careful and critical scrutiny, I will confirm that the Bitcoin (BTC) market is very much different from the stock market and that it is very important for investors.
Of course, they both have common trends and similarities, but the operation of crypto market is very much different from the stock market. When you invest in stock, you invest in a company, but when you invest in cryptocurrency, you invest in a currency independent of the company.
Drawing the attention of investors, they should note that most of the created cryptocurrencies were created for fun with no clear blueprint and projections. Some cryptocurrencies do not even have clear-cut revenue and user base, however, they manage to record high market cap due to speculations. Most of them are labeled as a scam, and they are not backed by any company. This is so different from stocks. Almost all the public stocks in the market are backed by a company with a defined revenue and user base.

Standards of beauty have pretty much stayed the same for the majority. For instance, most consider Renaissance paintings beautiful, ancient Greek and Roman sculpture also. Van Gogh wasn't understood at first, but within about five years after his death he became highly collected. Obscene art has always been seen as obscene historically except for a few people who think they are smart for saying they like it.
One of the reasons for that is that we like certain things. It can be taught but it can also be deep inside our nature. For instance, most people don't like very bright colours and prefer balanced pictures, shapes, buildings. There's even research on balance in people's faces and its influence on how we recognize beauty. Beauty matters, but what really is beauty if not shapes and colours put in the right order? |

I wouldn't mind if my child, or any other child, acted in a commercial, even if it was an ICO. I'd only worry about it being legit since there are many that blow up in investor's face. The world "work" can be understood in various ways. If your photo is used and you get paid, is that work? If you tell a couple things into the camera, is that when work begins, or maybe it is when a child performs a magic trick on stage before a crypto conference?
There are some forms of "work" that are ok with my ethics and some that aren't. Spamming the forum for a few dollars isn't.

Shall I apply once again in this thread and wait for approval? Is there a waiting queue? If there is a free slot how the new particpant is determined?
Once in a while this campaign opens up and people apply for a spot. I believe it's the best moment to try your luck. If you don't get in, wait for another recruitment to start. There's no queue. Personally, I tend not to bother managers if the recruitment is not open. |

Do you really believe they would knock on his door and let him turn off his PC? If they had a trace and a proof of him managing the site they'd first get all the paperwork and then used a SWAT team to break into his place with battering rams and flashbangs. What would he do in seconds between them breaking the door and getting him in cuffs? Throw the laptop out the window?  |

You are correct. There are no merit sources because he became a member before the introduction of merit and he got 10 merit for free, based on the level of his account. He sent 1 merit but did not receive any. Took a glance at his recent posts. He won't be getting merit anytime soon if he keeps spamming P&S like that. |

97% of scientists worldwide agree that global warming is happening and will have consequences in the (near) future.
At this point scientists aren't arguing whether it's real but rather how fast it's going to happen.
While I'm not going to argue that temperatures are rising, we can call it global warming or climate change. It's all a matter of perspective. While it may be getting warmer on the poles, the Gulf Stream is weakening and results in Europe becoming colder. While you're talking about global warming it's snowing in South Africa. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/sep/11/giraffes-in-the-snow-south-africa-karoo-desertDoes Bitcoin mining have something to do with that? I very much doubt it and people who are saying that mining will raise global temperatures by 2* are delusional. Google and Facebook servers combined produce a comparable amount of heat and they've been doing it for much longer than Bitcoin miners. |

Would you like a mod to ask other mods to moderate his own threads, even if the thread is located in a section moderated by only 1 mod, who at the same time is the OP?
What about local sections? If a local mod makes a thread there, shouldn't he be able to moderate it? If not him then who? Usually there is only 1 mod per local section and only that mod speaks the language, which means he can't ask for someone to moderate it for him even if he wanted to.
