 In all fairness, anything more than that is a joke. If you just want Bitcoin to become mainstream and then lose the ideals behind it, then go ahead. But who is going to pay for it? Again, it'd be something like the Bitcoin Foundation, and a lot of people in the Bitcoin community do not agree with them. Hahaha that picture is not exactly the best marketing material  Well look my opinion is that bitcoin has to have some sort of organization, not necessarly a leadership as I see many people dont like that, but some basic organization. For example like this forum. Without this forum there would be hardly any use to bitcoin. So the scenario of headless chicken running around and screaming bitcoin to the world is not the best promotion either. So I think a PR team therefor is highly recommended. I assure you that Bitcointalk is not all there is to the Bitcoin community, although it is a large part of it. I see plenty of people pop up on chatboxes on Bitcoin-related websites who have never even heard of Bitcointalk who have found the site through other sources. There are plenty of other forums as well. We don't particularly need to start trying to hire a PR team, Bitcoin becomes more and more legitimate each day on its own. |

I got it quite close to the minimum, around 800 or so.  All of you Hero Member peasants are simply inferior to my superior RNGenes, you see - we will create a New World Order composed only of Legendary members... Sounding suspiciously like Hitler, now. |

Thanks to everyone that sincerely helped!
The picture was just a test, but thankyou above poster, you are so very meek (cough)!
Will be good to be able to correctly post like an adult soon, and not treated like a child.
I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to convey here, but... There's also a button in your toolbar above your post text area, where you can click to embed an image (the hover text is "Insert Image"). It helps to look around  |

I'm sorry, I find the point that you've added here quite ludicrous. Bitcoin is simply a decentralized currency, there shouldn't be a PR team trying to pump it. I think organisations like the Bitcoin Foundation are grossly out of their depth, indeed, they've screwed us over quite a lot like I said earlier in the thread mentioning how a board member stated they were at one point "essentially bankrupt" due to frivolous spending. The point of Bitcoin is not to hire a damn PR team. If Bitcoin becomes truly successful then we have succeeded, we do not need a PR team so we can get Bitcoin "mainstream" to increase the price for all these greedy speculators.
It can become succesful without it too, I`m not saying that these are critical requirements. However why not speedup the process? Why wait 30 years to become mainstream when we can do it in 5 years? We know that advertising and marketing works, why not use this tool to speedup bitcoin's progress? In all fairness, anything more than that is a joke. If you just want Bitcoin to become mainstream and then lose the ideals behind it, then go ahead. But who is going to pay for it? Again, it'd be something like the Bitcoin Foundation, and a lot of people in the Bitcoin community do not agree with them. |

So, it's either:
- Just an utter scam designed to make you fork over some Bitcoin (convenient how it's via a payment method you're unlikely to trace to an actual identity, huh?)
- Some semi-scam where the method basically consists of day trading, but still designed to just make you fork over some easy money.
Yeah, don't even bother man. Ignore it.

$0.05 per word sounds pretty hefty if you ask me.. A 500-word article would be $25, and the average Joe types 60-WPM which is about $3.00 per minute.
Do you really think you're worth $180.00 an hour for your writing?
He's writing, not transcribing. I type at 100 WPM but writing a 1000 word article can easily take me 3 to 5 hours, even longer with revisions. Writing about cryptocurrency involves a great deal of thought, research and fact-checking. I wouldn't lower your prices, srgkrgkj, just keep improving your craft. I think that might be an issue with your research speed in that case, not necessarily your typing proficiency itself. I type at 130 WPM (which isn't actually that different) and typing a 1000 word article usually takes me 30-60 minutes. If you can maximise your google search query efficiency and also get proficient at skim-reading articles to pick out the perfect pieces of knowledge and information, your time per article should be drastically lowered. |

This is one of the reasons why I hate modern currency.
Every dollar that exists is owed to someone.
Yes, technically the US dollar is a debt, but in reality when it comes to the physical money in circulation the line between money and a debt instrument is quite blurred. It's quite true with most other things, but not all modern currency is debt. Don't get me wrong, it's still a massive flaw with fiat currency and something Bitcoin handles much better, but let's not make a massive generalisation here. If I give you a gold coin worth 5 USD it's still modern currency worth US dollars but I doubt you would hate it. |

2﴿ PUBLIC OPINION: Lack of a PR team to improve bitcoin's public opinion
Public relation's is important to manage negative publicity and cast positive light to bitcoin in front of the eyes of the mainstream. Bitcoin has a lot of negative publicity: scammers, thieves, and other criminals putting a bad reputation to bitcoin, and the media spins this and demonizes bitcoin further.
We need a positive PR team who organizes festivals, campaigns, conferences, or any other types of events that can boost Bitcoin's public opinion, and explain to the public that bitcoin is good.
Some sort of charity organization or fundraisers could really boost bitcoin's PO and show the mainstream that bitcoin can be used for Good too!
We really need this because many people just disregard bitcoin by default, because they heard that bitcoin is used by criminals (yes a small fraction), but what about the honest people that use bitcoin, we need to find positive things in bitcoin and put them forward for the public to see the bitcoin is a wonderful thing after all.
I'm sorry, I find the point that you've added here quite ludicrous. Bitcoin is simply a decentralized currency, there shouldn't be a PR team trying to pump it. I think organisations like the Bitcoin Foundation are grossly out of their depth, indeed, they've screwed us over quite a lot like I said earlier in the thread mentioning how a board member stated they were at one point "essentially bankrupt" due to frivolous spending.

I'm confused. Reputation is within meta, but doesn't show up as a subforum of meta?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1247841.0He was reading this thread. It's odd, I've never had this happen to me myself. I'd assume something is causing whatever is querying to grab the posts for the thread to hiccup every once in an odd while and that would be why you occasionally see no posts. Odd there's no error to show what's happening, but that isn't that uncommon. See if you can inspect element next time that happens to you so you can see if an error was generated on your side or if it was entirely server-side. |

Okay, you can't post images anyway as you're a newbie, but 99% of forums use something called BBCode. Linking to imgur (that's just a webpage link) wouldn't do anything and I don't see how it would, linking to the actual image itself will again just produce a link. You can't use HTML (except in limited forums rarely on some vBulletin forums) as it'd be heavily restricted anyway and it's much more complex.
It's much simpler with BBCode. Start with an IMG tag, put the image link after it, then end with an /IMG tag, and use [] instead of <>. Works similarly for things like color=blue, etc.

Sep 1944 -- 442 pages -- Available
I'll claim this, then. There's a lot to do, though, even with me typing at a top speed of 130 words per minute. Don't expect it to be turned around any time soon.  I'll try to get 50 or so pages done today. Looks like the person who tried to claim this earlier in the thread deleted his post? Edit: I should note, after doing the first 7 pages, I have decided to mark uncorrected misspellings in the text with [sic.] to make it clear I did not make these errors. |

Yeaaaah this was on /r/bitcoin 7 hours ago, you're just posting old stuff now...
Everyone is 99% sure it was just an accidental buy. Nothing new here, move along, Bitcoin is not going to the moon yet.

Okay, based on the straw poll it would seem to me like most people were in favour of lowering all website fine grades by one, so that's what I've done. I will re-adjust them later today or tomorrow to make them more accurate and have a wider gradient. I'll also likely implement the A* grade soon. Thank you for reviewing our site we will work on features and take your evaluation as a means to make improvements, good fortune to you!
Thanks! |

Back in the hayday of when PD signature campaign was still around senior members received .001BTC per post and Hero members received .0012BTC per post, and you were able to make up to 4.4BTC per month (all of this is IIRC).
The price was ~$500-$700 when PD closed. Around that same time, you could get a fixed rate deal earning .1BTC in exchange for 50 posts over a month.
Is this a typo? You were able to make 4.4 BTC per MONTH? At the Senior Member rate you posted one would need to make 4,400 posts per month to make 4.4 BTC. That's ~150 per day...surely someone would be banned even if they could make that many posts per day. Well, some people did make quite a lot per month (easily over 1 BTC a month). I know (think, rather) hilariousandco made a ridiculous amount of BTC back in the hayday of PrimeDice's signature campaign. The thing is that now we have a lot of greedy spammers and the signature ad market is simply saturated with supply - oversupplied for anything Full Member or below (perhaps even Senior Member), with Hero and Legendary being the only two groups not really truly saturated yet. |

User ID : 30372
My suggestions :
1. Add a ticker to the app to display the latest news on Bitcoin
2. When adding a market you can't sort the names alphabetically
3. Have widgets to display current price of Bitcoin or any Altcoin on the main screen of your phone
4. Also you should be able to sort alphabetically on any of the pages
5. Make the fonts smaller so you can fit in more per screen
6. More Altcoin markets for instance no Digicube
6 replies 0.002 what ? Is it not 0.001 a reply ? I think my suggestion are well thought out. I'm disappointed. Ah don't complain bro. Some people had to lose, that's a fact, and some people had to win as well. Just keep your chin up and try again next time you see one of these competitions around and you'll probably end up winning. |

You should make your app more creative by adding some animated things .

Still not paid me Christ. You are one impatient person, aren't you? Waiting literally a matter of hours to be paid for a suggestion that took you 20 seconds to write? Come on dude, be reasonable at least. You can't expect people to bend over backwards to give you free money. |

Hi Bitcointalk members!
I started development on an anonymous chat, where people sign up with their BTC Address.
The ownership of the address is verified by entering the balance of the address.
Terrible method. I could easily sign up and claim to be Satoshi via that method just by looking up his address on Blockchain.info. Also, this chat will only be anonymous if you generate a fresh address for it. Worth pointing that out, and it probably wouldn't be too hard to end up tracing either |

That's what I got when removing the code tags, doesn't look that good man I have to be honest. Sorry. |

Decided to drop my price to a much more reasonable $200 PP for 0.57 BTC (that's $20 less ). That comes to just over $350 per BTC, quite fair in my opinion. Hit me up with a PM if you're interested |

Ok so they said that the bonus expired even though in my account it said that the bonus was valid for 30 days. What they said was this:
So when we first implemented the bonus, the IT team had made a mistake. They put the expiration date as 30 days like they do with all bonuses but we had originally intended it to be just a 48 hour promo. While you may have checked and saw that you had ages left on your bonus, it wasn't intended to last that long and was changed to a shorter expiration date as originally intended
They then said that the email sent was clear that it would only last 48 hours. What the email actually said was: bonus you can claim in the next 48 hours.
They cancelled my bonus after 72 hours so all is unclear here.
I had checked my account just before my money disappeared and I still had the 30 day validity for the bonus
I should have my BTC's returned because an error by your IT department is not my fault.
You're not wrong, if they stated that it was 30 days long originally it is kind of dirty to quickly change it to 48 hours, though you seem to have kind of blurred the line between real BTC and bonus BTC here. They should have at the very least notified you in advance about it. |
