Are you wanting it to sell your bitcoins for skrill money? If so there are bitcoin debit cards where you can top them up directly with your coins and then get the cash out or spend on the card. Bit-x has just released one where you can spend your funds kept on the exchange and if you join their signature campaign apparently you get a free card and the can spend your own signature earnings.

Yes you can and yes it goes there. There's already some people offering their services there. Are you a guy or a girl? Can't imagine you'll get much interest if you're a dude, though. lol.

Thanks macro for running this!  Looking forward to wearing Bit-X avatar!

How much are you guys getting paid for your avatars? I'm interested but do I have to be a member of the campaign?

Marcotheminer, are you not buying full avatars but just the little logo tacked on to the side?

You can buy them from there but you won't get a discount unfortunately. Have you tried sites like pock.io (I think it's called) where you can make requests for thngs and state how much you want to pay for them?

I think you meant purse.io
I forgot the name but you reminded me. It's probably worth me trying that then.
Thanks for your help Smiley

Nah, there is that one as well but pock.io is the same thing. Seems it's been renamed to https://giftoff.com/gift-cards now, though. I had it saved in my bookmarks but when I clicked it it went to that site.

I think the better way to put it would be that I'm offering my approx 1000 previous posts for some minimal amount of payment.  I understand completely if you're not interested.  I guess it's just that for me, I'm not having a lot of time these days to read the forums and so I figured I may as well remove the advert and have less clutter on the boards (unless you want to pay me something to leave it up Smiley).

I would also like to get paid for doing nothing. Don't be so stingy. Join a campaign like bitmixer that doesn't require any minimums if you're not going to be making many or any posts. At least there's nothing to worry about and then if you do make any posts at least you'll get something for them.

I can't see any reason for going after sed like this.  It looks to me like he has removed his signature and moved on.  How is that stingy?  Wouldn't it be stingy of him if he had stuck around in the campaign taking up a spot that someone else could have taken but not posting?

FWIW, I can see his point here, I'm surprised that it's not worth something to advertizers to have signatures up on older posts.  However, I also understand that a campaign manager probably isn't in a position to make that decision.

Hardly 'going after him' but I think he's being a bit cheeky here. He's basically saying I'm not going to be doing any posts but I want to get paid for them any way. From an advertisers point of view it's not worthy of paying actual money for previous posts as next to nobody is going to see the older ones. Sure maybe one or two here and there but certainly not worth paying for.

It doesn't offend me I just look upon it with cynicism because it's usually quite apparent why the person does it (whether they're really a female or a male pretending to be one).
51  Economy / Services / Re: [CRYPTO CHICK FOR HIRE] Web Dev, Design, SEO, WordPress, Joomla, Writing... on: April 14, 2015, 11:43:55 AM
Why do you feel the need to advertise your gender at every available option? It's pretty much common knowledge around here that people do this for ulterior motives. Even if you're 'legit' it looks really tacky and cheap to me.

At every available option? Talk about your gross exaggerations. I correct folks when they make the assumption
that I'm a guy sometimes, but for the most part, that is it.

Not really an exaggeration when you do this after half of your posts:

Cheers,

Cynthia

The fact that I am female doesn't make me any better
of a web developer, designer or code monkey than the next guy.

If someone hires me, it's because I am good at what I do, and not for any other reason

Exactly. Then why is it relevant? It isn't, but the reason usually why people do it is kinda explained here:

but the truth is that crypto
is still a largely male dominated culture. If the [Crypto Chick] descriptor in my subject makes folks pause and
maybe decide to learn more about me, I'm okay with that.

Looks like just trying to get the edge over competition by luring in some white knights.

This is a lulz for the ages. Poor Merkel got a beat down from Bibi and she did not even know it.


It is not photoshopped.

Maybe not but someone should 'shop it to make the Hitler tashe a little smaller. Too long for a Hitler pencil mustache Cheesy.

54  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banks and Bitcoin on: April 14, 2015, 10:54:30 AM
I'm afraid banks already controlled majority of the coins out there. As someone said, banks don't like something that they can not control Back to early days when MTGOX were dominating the bitcoin exchange, many traders from banks have already claimed large amount of coins, and I have reason to believe that it was bank traders who drove last two large wave of bubbles. So they will stay in bitcoin and play like they did with gold/silver

Lol. Seriously? Do you have any evidence for this or are you just being paranoid? The banks don't have the balls to put massive amounts of money into bitcoin and even if they were buying up loads of coins it would just make the rest more valuable as they sure as hell wont get their hands on mine.

Banks create money, and that money can buy anything, including bitcoin. As long as people use banks' fiat money to measure value, then most of the coins will belong to banks

Exactly. They create money so why would they be interested in spending it on bitcoin as it's something they can't control at all.

56  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your opinions on Online Gambling and Bitcoin on: April 14, 2015, 10:49:18 AM
Bitcoin and gambling are a perfect match and go hand in hand in my opinion. Many countries prohibit online gambling so bitcoin is the perfect medium for getting around that. It's also very costly for gambling sites to pay winnings with fees and bitcoin could save them big time on this.

Gambling is tax-free in the UK.
A few years ago the UK government got rid of taxes for betting in real life bookies because they couldn't compete with tax-free online gambling sites based in Gibraltar and Jersey. IIRC.
Also,I just lost £20 on the Grand National on Saturday and i didn't pay tax.

You might not pay tax on your bets but the profits the gambling companies make certainly aren't tax free, though.

Haha. I just downloaded it. The first was alright but I'm not expecting much from this one to be honest. I'm surprised they even made a sequel.
58  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Better than bitcoin" altcoin sellers arrested for stealing $340 million on: April 14, 2015, 10:15:08 AM
TBH I think these guys who played into the scheme should lose their money as a lesson to what happens when you give your trust away to people who don't deserve it.  But I'm just hardcore like that.

You don't sympathize?

I do, everyone makes mistakes, but a part of making mistakes is experiencing the effect of those mistakes; if they get their money back then the learning experience is lost and they'll wind up making the same mistake with the belief that they'll get their money back again.  This is what allows ponzis and pyramids to occur at all: there's no more risk involved, or so they believe, until one of these schemers winds up succeeding with a lot more cash than he would've if everyone knew to avoid such schemes in the first place and to only deal with reputable businesses.  Of course, the schemers do their best to hide that they're a scheme, but still, there's signs.

It's always greed that makes people drop their guard and thrown their money at things if they believe they can earn a quick profit. It's how scams work and why they're so popular because unfortunately humans are inherently greedy.

Makes me wonder how many other scams/ponzis are still running out there and how much money they have. Your thoughts?

it worth nothing that in 2013 after the doge peak the altcoin section was full of malicious devs, who were running their scam-fest, consisting of many alts, like aurora/blackcoin /maxcoin/stockcoin(the first one) ecc....,

i was there for every one, and i can tells you that with the first three they have surpassed by a long shot the 340M of this news..

actually i think that with aurora only, they have scammed a monstrous amount(i remember that coin surpassed litecoin in value, when litecoin was worth about 300M+)

nowadays there are still scam pos coins with bad/fake distribution and other crap like that

99% of them are just pump and dumps made entirely to make money for their devs. I'm surprised alt coins are even still going to be honest but they have slowed down a lot. People just need to avoid them entirely and hopefully they'll die off eventually.
59  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-04-07] ARS - Bitcoin Foundation is “effectively bankrupt” on: April 14, 2015, 10:08:09 AM
Of course they are, the Foundation is not really that important and Bitcoin could exist without it, so I don't really see how the foundation is doing a job worth paying for.
At the same time they are paying their members 100-200k USD a year, which is a lot, especially that these people can have other sources of income and probably do. The rich are getting richer and nothing changes for Bitcoin.

Yup, but they also support/pay salaries to the core devs (possibly the only good thing about TBF).

Who was in charge of the foundation's funds and deciding who gets what and paying their wages? Sounds like they've just been giving themselves extravagant salaries and now they're screwed cos there's not enough money coming in. Doubt they care they got their piece of pie. Suppose they're thinking it was good whilst it lasted, though.
60  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-04-12] Nigerian Tribune - How to pay less for international money transfer on: April 14, 2015, 10:04:53 AM
How is it a problem? You can make that same argument for people using bitcoin as a currency but payment processors solve this issue and the remittance market will have their own processors. Send the money to the opposite side of the world within seconds and get your cash at the other end for the amount you agreed on when you sent it. Problem solved.

It is a problem, actually. Converting UKP to BTC in England, and then sending them to Nigeria may not be an issue. But once the coins have arrived in Nigeria, it might take some time to convert them back to the local currency. And during this time, the real value of BTC can fluctuate greatly.

How would it take time? I just explained how it will work. Is there a problem with getting dollars from bitpay etc? No. There will be companies set up especially to make it work efficiently. It's a simple solution.
