Member status is not important anymore as anyone can buy a hero or legendary member and come here to scam people, I always prefer to use escrow no matter if he's a legendary and have so many positive feedback in past., because there are Green Trust accounts also being sold. so member status are totally bulshit.
yes, if the  trading partner can sign a message from old staked address and can prove that he's the real owner of the account, then you can deal with him without escrow.

The time of buying bitcoin was just crossed away.. you missed the opportunity. when bitcoin price was under 300 to 400$ that was the best time to buy bitcoin. and now we have 500$ price..
but you can still buy bitcoin for halving. as the chance of price rising is very high and we are expecting 1000$ price at this halving. so buying now is also better to not buying and blaming yourself.

No mate, I haven't received any reply from OP,. he asked me to send pm and I sent one, but no response,
I believe that this is just a fake auction posted by a Newbie who doesn't even know how to speak, how to deal, and how to response someone,.

I would suggest everyone don't send account name to the OP without getting paid first.

Cloudmining are not even worth to invest a single penny. investing 7btc in cloudmining is like you just throw away your money yourself and don't need them.. suggesting this make you an Idiot. looks like you don't know that cloudmining sites are just ponzi, and if one or two are paying then they paying very less.

If someone got chances in all these campaigns at same time, I am sure he can earn his whole bitcoin in very short time. but there are not much open avatar, facebook and twitter campaigns available. there are only few signature campaigns running which already have not slots.
but anyone got their slots they are lucky I guess.

what are you saying man? did you read the mean thread? there is not bitcoin price being discussed. the issue is if steam start accepting bitcoin what will happen with bitcointalk users who sell steam games for bitcoin in digital good section.

I think if it happens, these sellers will get down and their work will get blocked. no one will buy games from them.,,

but what is the new update? is it happened? is steam started accepting bitcoin or not yet?

If more people start using bitcoin it would be obviously good for bitcoin, bitcoin will be more demanding and then more shops and sites will open and accept bitcoin. and also the exist marketplace and big company start accepting bitcoin. but it will take some time may be few more years as bitcoin is not enough popular among the world

I heard about it first time from you here.. I have very bad experience about cloudmining. got scammed so many times and never ever invest again.
I feel this coinmint.io is another ponzi scam cloudming site just launched to steal peoples money. but they are promoting the site via google adverts. which is really strange for me.

Currently ebay doesn't support bitcoin. but it may happen in near future. for finding a ebay seller who accept bitcoin. this bitcointalk forum is the best source to do.  just go to digital good section, start a thread and explain what you want to buy from ebay and want to pay in btc.. you'll see how many ebay sellers available there.
you can also scroll down in the digital good section. there are some ebay sellers already posted their thread about offering ebay service

I've sent a PM to you bloody Idiot.. I really have an account. asking for details and confirmations is not a nonsense thing. think before saying something.. 
with this attitude you can't do any deal, buy/sell here.

with account details you mean account name and password? how could we do this without any proper deal?
I have a primedice account. but first You should tell us how much will you pay per account and will you do this with escrow or not?
make a proper thread for buying something in the forum.

I am adding some sites for earn small amount of money in bitcoin:

www.megatypers.com (captcha entry/typing)
www.yobit.net (dice and trading, included a free faucet)
www.fiver.com (freelancing site)
http://www.bitvisitor.com/ (bitcoin ptc site)
https://faucetbox.com/en/list/BTC (bitcoin related paying faucet sites.

these are some basic bitcoin earning sites which can be good for a newbie to start with. I have also started my journey in bitcoin with these sites..

A new tiwter following exchange.
there are already lots of similar posts idling around here. why don't you guys use one thread for doing this following exchange. yesterday I replied on a similar thread and add all users to my list and now I am seeing a new threads..
making many posts doesn't make sense.

Thats very funny situation you are facing duke.. peoples are treating this like a signature campaign and treating you like a campaign manager to review their post quality and give them chance to write in your blog.

Common guys. be serious. if you really want to do work and earn you need to do something. making portfolio isn't that hard. why don't you create a free blogspot blog and write 1 or 2 articles there and use it as a portfolio?

so basically you don't like spending bitcoin and don't want to take the other advantages of bitcoin. like buying selling. trading and investing. bitcoin have lots of features. only holding it and blocking it can make you some profit after halving. but you don't feel real adventure and thrill of bitcoin..
Anyway everyone have the right to do anything they wish to do.
I wish I could buy some books, I want to make a library. it would be great experience if some books can be purchased with bitcoin.

You are right. bitcoin is better in many ways. the transaction fee of bitcoin is very low than paypal. paypal charge very high fee. and bitcoin have lots of more advantages, bitcoin secure more than paypal. paypal funds can easily be reversed. and the chance of getting scam on paypal is very high..

You can't compare giant stones to dollars or any currency.? that time humans were don't even know about lots of things that today we know.. bitcoin is very strong and powerful but I am also doubt that it will replace dollar in early days.
It can only happen if it replaced by USA Government. if US low order that to block dollar and use bitcoin. then it can be possible.

I never used any paper wallets. but I believe they are very safe as you said above. and would be better choice to save big amount of btc.. blockchain also safe enough for store some btc, I used blockchain to store 0.5btc in past days and I never got any problem that time.. now adays blockchain having some issues in transactions.
Xapo is also good. but my preferred wallet is electrum now.

Try your address on another wallet. like electrum. get private key from blockchain in import/export option. and then import it on electrum and see there, I think blockchain having some issues, I also got a similar issue , I have 0.05btc in my wallet, today I open my wallet I got shocked when I see there is zero balance. but when I import the private key in electrum I see my all balance there.
