3981  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Does signature campaign really help to promote an ICO ? on: May 07, 2018, 08:07:39 PM
I believe that the more you spend on advertising the more people will know about your project. THere are many different ways to promote your ICO and a campaign is just one of them. They work best when combined. It doesn't mater if you spend your money on a bitcointalk banner, a signature campaign or a social media campaign, it will help your project.

The People have lost desire to work for money anymore,

but out of nothing there are "capitalists" appearing creating money and are looking for money earning cattle that is supposed to work for them?

what will happen?

regards

Let me ask you personally, do you want money or not? Do you want to work to get it or do you prefer to wait until it falls from the sky and hits you in the head?
Most people would want to be rich and not have to work, but the next best thing is working and earning money to support yourself. You don't like capitalists, but communists were also making people work and used money.
3983  Other / Off-topic / Re: Generation Screwed on: May 06, 2018, 07:33:53 PM
I don't know which part of the world are you talking about OP, but I've never had such problems. Never were in debt, never had a mortgage, was living without parents since I was 18. Working till we are 75 is nothing new if you are in business or self-employed. It's normal for smart people to keep working until they are physically unable to do so, but even then you still can make money on your computer. The generation has changed, but not for the worse.
3984  Other / Meta / Re: Is the merit system flawed? on: May 06, 2018, 07:20:30 PM
Yes, it's obviously flawed. For example, there is a huge gap between member and full member, from 10 to 100 merits. C'mon! After full member it's even more. I've earned myself 13 by doing fantastic (he-he, i'm joking, but still) translation form eng to native language of joint economic report of USA 2018. Ten great translations more? Dunno...  Huh
The other thing is - there is a little amount of sMerig generated, and usually highest ranks don't seem to give away their sMerits to newbies...
The final thing is - newbies are newbies, usually they don't know much about cryptonomics and unable to do deep analysis, researches, articles on these topics, etc - what potentially can bring them wanted merits.

Fine, newbies and jrs are getting less merit because they don't know enough to impress others, but this only gets us back to the same question: why do they need to advance in ranks then? They have all the time in the world. They can spend more time on the forum, read, learn and eventually earn some merit. What does it change if it takes 2 months or 6 months, even 12 months to get to member? I know that people used to advance faster but it lead to account farming and this is what the merit system is here to slow down.
3985  Other / Meta / Re: Is the merit system flawed? on: May 06, 2018, 06:09:13 PM
It is flawed, same as the democracy. But as the humanity haven't yet come up with a better system, as forum administration and members don't have a better alternative. I was lurking Meta for a while and most of the proposals imo doing the system worse, not better. I only wish all merit exchangers (including so-called "friends") are banned and initial merits decayed.

And I wish all spammers were banned, all scammers, all trust abusers... I could go on and on.
What can you do? It's only a system and people have to actively monitor it. Every now and then somebody slips through the cracks, just like people who were farming campaigns with alts. No system is perfect, especially the one that is managed by people. The human factor Wink

IMO the system is good and should stay. It reduces spam and account farming.
3986  Other / Meta / Re: Merit became a business. What to do? on: May 06, 2018, 05:58:43 PM
Merit - a great business opportunity for old users on this forum to earn money. Wink Why shouldn't they abuse it then.

You see it as an opportunity, others as a risky business. Put yourself in the shoes of a high ranked member. If you have an account worth $200 and a campaign that is paying you $300 a month, would you risk it all trading merit to get additional $100? That's just stupid and greedy. IMO trading merit is only worth your time if you have some hacked accounts that you can risk. As for the buyers it's also stupid, because if you are able to create content valuable content you will get merit anyway. If you aren't, it will be easy to notice that you got wrongly merited for spam.
3987  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: PLAYSTORE and APPSTORE!! on: May 06, 2018, 05:44:49 PM
I think this situation is a scourge of our society. People are wasting their time  and money on new smartphones that are beginning to be worth more than a used car and all they do is strain your eyesight and make you pay even more after a while because they get damaged so easily.
As for the apps, it's certainly a great way to cash out on the addicts.
3988  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what ALT do you use to transfer BTC between exchanges? on: May 06, 2018, 05:41:22 PM
I was using LTC when BTC was quite expensive and slow, but right now I don't even bother. It's so cheap to send Bitcoin ant this is my main currency that I don't even waste my time on going back and forth with LTC. Of course, if you are moving a few dollars it might be worth it to switch to cheaper currencies.

Here is just one of the YouTube spamming tutorials.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQH7B5lWFSE

"bitcoin gold is very good cryptocurrencies i love it" Cheesy
What a moron  Angry

I've been talking about it for a long time. The wave of illiterate spammers from Indonesia and Pakistan is overwhelming. The merit system has made it harder for them, but it's nothing more than trench that is slowing them down, weeding out some of the spammers, but the more persistent ones remain. The idiot from the video can't even write bitcointalk right and calls it a "form"

Can a cryptocoin survive if a dev remains anonymous?
I do not think so. What's your opinion?

You don't think so, even though Bitcoin has survived for years with the dev being anonymous. You're not making sense.
It doesn't matter who the dev is as long as the code can be viewed and analysed and the dev doesn't have any power. If the coin is premined and the dev owns a large chunk of it while remaining anonymous, it's going to be very hard to gain enough confidence for the coin to become popular. If he doesn't I see no reason not to trust the project.
3991  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: roger ver bites the bait and embarrasses bitcoin in australia on: April 30, 2018, 09:34:48 PM
Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin Cheesy No Roger, Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin Cash, a forked altcoin, and Bitcoin is Bitcoin, the same thing we've been using for years. That's why Bitcoin cash isn't even worth 20% of Bitcoin. You can literally buy over 6 of your altcoins for 1 Bitcoin, Roger. People aren't as dumb as you want them to be!
3992  Other / Politics & Society / Re: North and South Korea Finally Making Peace? on: April 30, 2018, 08:44:16 PM
I think it would be great if they joined together and allowed those poor people from the north to choose the life they want to live.
North Korea is in a state of poverty with people eating whatever they can to survive, even grass. This can't go on for long, the country has to change or it will destroy itself, and Kom, who is travelling a lot, has to know that.
3993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: IS IT THE BEST TIME FOR GAMBLING? on: April 30, 2018, 08:40:15 PM
for my understanding there are nothing best time for the gambler's any time they wants to play in the gambling site as long as have a money to play, because the gambler's specially the people gambling is the past time and addicting.
Agreed, there is nothing as best time for gambling and so on. An user gets into gambling when he's wish to make a try out of it. Without that he never intends to make a move into gambling. As I prefer sports betting, the season when there is lots of events happening around can be considered the best time for gambling.

And I don't agree. If we play with words there can be the best time for gambling. This notion can be made to exist if you want it to.
To give you an example, the casino can give you a discount on a certain day. That would make it a good day for gambling, right? What if the promo was to double your deposit on that given time. It would be the best time for gambling since you started, wouldn't it?
3994  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling: Culture on: April 30, 2018, 08:35:57 PM
I think gambling has been born tgether with humanity. Even in history, in stories about the past, bettng has been used by people in the past. Like i read somewhere about tossing coins. You bet in which side of the coin by tossing it upward.

Of course, that's why we can talk about the culture of gambling.
Do you remember those days when you were a child and somebody was daring you to do things? I bet you won't jump over this fence Smiley That's how it all starts, even children are inclined to gamble, they do many of these things naturally. When they're older they start betting money with friends, organizing competitions, playing games for money. You can't fight gambling!
3995  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Struggling to Reach Over 9K on: April 23, 2018, 08:51:55 PM
When the value grows a lot in a week or 2 there are always people trying to take profit and sell and they usually use some round numbers like 8000 9000 and so on as their exit points. Such attitude creates psychological barriers at thich the price stops and the exchange takes place. People who had enough sell to take profit and newcomers buy to hold throughout the next stage. It's always like that, Bitcoin is not struggling, it's preparing to go up again.
3996  Other / Meta / Re: I am flabbergasted that it actually happens on this scale on: April 23, 2018, 08:33:02 PM
Nice "profession" he's got. Professional spammer, world is getting weirder every day.
If he's doing so many bounties, he's accounts are pretty much worthless, and with the amount of bounty campaigns being scams that don't pay, he's doing half of his work for free. That rodney guy says he has 2 accounts in sig campaigns, somebody should find his forum polluting socks.

The EU does that. It makes the sums they claim from member states seem smaller. They also use the metric system, because that makes body parts seem larger. Smiley
The metric system is actually much better. That's why it's being used in physics.
Every time I hear imperial it reminds me of medieval times. Like i'm about to hear "one ell of cloth for a penny" in the distance. Cheesy
3997  Other / Meta / Re: Merit became a business. What to do? on: April 23, 2018, 08:21:52 PM
The risk of trading merit outweighs the benefits. For instance, you have a full member account and want to get to Sr. fast, you buy merit. This is an account you'll be having for a long time, possibly for years. You can forget about that little trade, move on, get some real merit, get some decent posts, activity, possibly some trust, and then somebody finds out about your merit trade and the account is ruined. Taking a shortcut may look like a good idea, but it's best to level up on your own.
3998  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Any LEGIT Cloudmining sites? on: April 23, 2018, 07:55:26 PM
https://ecomine.lt/en <- this one is legit. They offer siacoin cloud mining with A3 miners.  They mine with wind power so the electricity cost is low. + dashboard to follow mining 24/7, which is kinda nice.

I have invested € 3060 which gives me 1700 gh/s. And that is around €510 a month (today). I actually got the money (which is unusual in clound mining 'business' Cheesy ).


This is most likely a scam.

First of all their location is listed as Contacts
Antano Tumėno g. 4, LT-01109 Vilnius, Lietuva

Do you know what this address is? It's the parliament of Lithuania! So this is more like a joke than the location of a real mining company.

They also don't have any photos of their miners on that site, no proof that they are who they are claiming to be.
3999  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pablo Escobars Brother Says BTC created by CIA W proof on: April 23, 2018, 07:18:37 PM
Escobar's brother should really stop making up stories. Soon we'll see him legitimizing Craig as Satoshi and pumping Bitcoin Cash.
What are your ideas? What crypto job would you give to Roberto? Just note that he's 71 and may be suffering from amnesia and other things. I don't believe in his stories just like I don't believe that he knows anything about Bitcoin.
4000  Economy / Speculation / Re: some of the reasons that made the bitcoin's price down on: April 23, 2018, 07:11:09 PM
There are lots of reasons why the market value of bitcoins is going down.  One of these are the external factors such as political policies like new laws and agreement.
Another thing is the demand in their services which slowly decreasing the market value when the demand falls down.

Why necro this thread 2 weeks after it was created? It wasn't answered by anyone because it wasn't interesting and at this point its content is completely irrelevant. Why would you want to explain the reasons for a small downward move of Bitcoin, when we are already in reversal?
