DAMN! I lose again
I lost becose i got low btc now
This game for people with big btc to win , i have wager 1 btc+ today and now i get my prize 0.25 btc but i lost 0.7 btc Sad
i not even cover it becose i get no more btc .
Pay now 0.25 or later on 22 march ?


Well that's the gamble, but the house (usually) always wins. Nice 0.45 profit for girlbtc, but I suppose someone may get lucky to take a chunk out of those profits but I'm guessing they'll make a significant margin from this.

it is a PvP game. Someone else won 0.7BTC. girlbtc lost 0.45. girlbtc also got the fee for bets.

It went into girlbtc, you were too busy trying to figure it out to realise..

Just dont be stupid enough to loan him 1btc by playing for HIM, then NOT expect him to pay that full 1 back, I believe this is a member/part of girlbtc, for now more obvious reason's. Note not one taker for three days, then when all have stopped reading, up come's his more likely legit account and say's, I'll do (it for me..)  Wink

Who knows, the kicker is he'll pay you to do it and dont want the winnings, he already got them from btcgirl in my opinion..


Excuse me bro! I am not in anyway related to girlbtc! He is not loaning me 1 BTC! Why are you getting headache when ndnhc is helping me wager? And what you mean by "Who knows, the kicker is he'll pay you to do it and dont want the winnings, he already got them from btcgirl in my opinion.. "? I seriously don't get you!

Edit: If you still think I am girlbtc then ask theymos! I am in no way related to girlbtc! Did you mean I am girlbtc just because I sent girlbtc a positive feedback? It was because I translated her page to russian and she paid me 0.05 BTC for the job!

I did think your girlbtc, or involved in getting customer's.. I'm not getting a headache, but you do seem to be pullin something not quite right in the eye's of myself and others.. this is NOT an accusation, just what I feel, see, when I go out wi ma mate for a pint, and he's gambling, he asks if I'm in, in which case he would continue playing with his funds, say 10 and I would be owe him 5, the amount I went in for, believe it or not he taught me many a scam.. for instance, he had the 10 already in the slot, so that was, at that moment, gone, I went in for 5 and lost 5, so am now due HIM 5, giving him 5 worth's of free shot's, and I have to give him the 5 back next payday, because I played 5 of HIS shot's. do you see where some may think this is a scam?

Perhaps you should have said something like:

Help.. I have opened an account, run out of fund's and need 1 btc to keep the account open so I dont lose my sig campaign. What I need is not a loan, just a gambler who would gamble what they usually do elsewhere using my login details.. the gamber IS RESPONSIBLE for win or lose, but I will pay the 0.1btc to say thank you for looking after my account..

See, it was weird when no-one understood where the 1btc went, or that you did not want the winnings.. I thought it was a ploy by girlbtc and yourself, obviously I was wrong, apologies Wink

I hope I have helped though it may not appear so Wink good luck..

I don't understand the confusion. OP cannot be girlbtc. It will be very weird if so. I am more than 100% sure OP is not him.

In case you get the idea it is like this:
Girlbtc offers 0.25BTC if you wear the signature and wagers 1BTC
OP don't have the money to do so, but wants to participate.
He asks someone to wager 1BTC for him, using his account and he will give 0.1BTC to the person. Simple as that.

Downtime Announcement!

I'd like to remind our community that there will be downtime tomorrow, due to migrating DaDice to a new server. Expected downtime from 10 am to 1 pm UTC.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!
4084  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Let us define constructive posts (wrt DaDice signature campaign) on: March 16, 2015, 07:31:47 PM
If we review your overall post history and assign post count according to that, will it be acceptable to everyone?

Example, xyz is seen as a constructive poster. 95% of the total posts made are counted.
abc doesn't make any real constructive posts. 45% are counted.

If we do the counting like this, by checking the details of a post and coming to a conclusion and assigning a percentage to the user, will it be okay?

Well, some of the posters will ask which posts you did not count, what is wrong with that post, did you include this one and will have to answer them. So wanted to know your opinion. Smiley
4085  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Let us define constructive posts (wrt DaDice signature campaign) on: March 16, 2015, 07:26:32 PM
I think this discussion is pointless, because IMHO you can not and do not want to define what a constructive post is. You are looking for people that post constructively, that are engaging in discussions and the community at large. A single post can not reflect that and it makes no sense to get picky over this post or that post. If you look at a few pages of someones post history you will know who they are.

There are certainly borderline cases and IMHO it makes sense to consider handpicking campaigners as a manager. Instead of allowing everyone to join and weed out the spammers later, take a lengthy look when someone is applying. Consider whether you want that person to respresent your business. This might even exclude constructive posters when their main section is not appealing for you to advertise in. Once they are in, payment might include all posts, because it is only natural to have a few weak ones. Should this the posting behaviour change exclusion is always an option. I also think its important to remove an minimum posting requirement, but I dont think its a big issue. Yes, I personally tend to have no problem to reach a certain limit, but I also would not want to think reaching it. Just pay a overal constructive poster for 45 posts even though 5 are of low quality and the minimum is 50. The alternative is that they either leave the campaign, feel pressured to post more - which will only lower the quality - or they dont care - which is probably rare.

I think the only thing that can improve the reputation of signature campaigns is when its hard to join. Hard as in you need a history of beeing constructive and engaged and not hard as in there is only a limited number of spots. If spammers start to fake engagement everyone profits.

http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/constructive.png

http://xkcd.com/810/

I get your point.

What we did was that, we gave them a chance to improve. To show that this is not what we are looking for, not what the community wants.
If we only give spots to those who post well, others will never improve.

Yes, we are slowly getting more strict on enrollment.. The change will be noticeable from next week. Smiley
4086  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Let us define constructive posts (wrt DaDice signature campaign) on: March 16, 2015, 07:23:35 PM
Honestly, I think that if I were you, I'd try to work out ground rules for things that are clearly unconstructive.  Then apply those rules. 

One little addendum, I would definitely say that you can't judge based on length of post

Agree with both of this

Direct short answer could never be judged as non constructive, a short reply but if that is what the answer of the question will be then i will consider it as to be constructive

Ground rules, seems a good idea. Can you give me a few examples?
Like I can't say no +1 posts, etc.? It also depends on individual opinion. If I set down a rules, a few will like it, others won't. So, in the first weeks, I will not be so direct and precise. Constructive posts is a relative subject that varies from person to person.  It is practically impossible to set down clear cut rules for that. But, you can certainly give some examples, and we will surely consider it. Smiley

The counting is not based on length. (I think I already said that a million times already, lol), if it was it is very easy to do the counting. It can be fully automated. That is not how it is done. Wink
(But if you see all 20 posts in first page as one-liners and the ones are completely useless ones, what can you do?)

Simple and clear rules are the way to go. Right now they aren't because you said that you don't want people to post a lot in politics or news sections but on the other hand will count the posts if there's not a lot of them.  How many are they allowed to make? 1, 5, or maybe it's counted as a percentage, so 5%? This is ambiguous to say the least. Either pick sections you want them to post in or let them to do it as they please.

I just mentioned it. It was not a rule, just a suggestion. As long as it is less than around 50%, it will be counted. I just added it since 2 of the prevoius week's participants had almost 90%+ of their posts there. And it didn't seem not very good to put them at the same level with those who posted good, constructive ones in the Maketplace boards.

It is just a mere suggestion, like we prefer posts in the marketplace section.

I wanted to change it, but I thought it is best to do so, when the net period starts. I don't want to make changes in the middle of the campaign and confuse people. Wink


4087  Other / Archival / Re: Updated Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns on: March 16, 2015, 07:06:15 PM
Escrow, as I see it, works like this:
  • A company wants to run a signature campaign, but they are to busy to do it themself, so a campaign manager is hired.
  • This campaign manager will be given BTC to payout the participants in the signature campaign at the end of every cycle (monthly, weekly, etc).
  • Some people may not trust the person doing the signature campaign, so they ask them to do escrow.
  • The person doing escrow will hold an amount of BTC to cover for +- one payment cycle
  • If something goes wrong in the campaign (manager disappears, funds are gone, etc), the person doing escrow will use the BTC that has been escrowed to pay out the people in the signature campaign.

In an ideal world, the person doing escrow would hold onto the BTC until the signature campaign is over. But more often than not the BTC is returned after a few successful cycles.

However, seeing that this isn't always the case (devthedev paying out for dadice) I'm considering to put signature campaigns as escrowed if the person paying isn't the same as the person managing the campaign, has some decent trust on this forum and isn't affiliated with the company itself. So the dadice campaign would be soon as escrowed, but the Bit-X wouldn't be, because marcotheminer both manages the campaign and pays the participants.

Opinions about this are welcome.


First, let us define escrow:
Quote
DEFINITION OF 'ESCROW'
A financial instrument held by a third party on behalf of the other two parties in a transaction. The funds are held by the escrow service until it receives the appropriate written or oral instructions or until obligations have been fulfilled. Securities, funds and other assets can be held in escrow.
Source: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/escrow.asp

The system dadice uses can be covered under this.
Working:
Bitcoins that cover more than maximum payment, including bonus and escrow fee, rounded up, amounts to 8BTC, which will be held by escrow at any point of time (excluding the brief gap between payment and refilling). Once the posts are counted, the payment amount, along with username and address are sent to devthedev, the escrow (which is also reflected in the spreadsheet on the third tab), who then releases the funds to the participants of the signature campaign.

I think what most campaigns use is a similar but kind of a more efficient system. There is a little more work of sending payments that escrow got to do. But 3% fee covers that part.

In addition, there is a campaign manager, co-manager, and an escrow. If you still consider that the same as a situation in which I control everything, it would really be weird..

Quote
In an ideal world, the person doing escrow would hold onto the BTC until the signature campaign is over.

It is almost the same. Only the until the campaign is over part is split into weekly ones and the escrow directly releases the funds to the parties.


Yeah, I support the view. You may consider dadice campaign as escrowed, since there is already 3 parties involved and I, bf4btc or devthedev are not affiliated to dadice.


Thanks Wink

He copied Shorena's entry post. I wonder if it's a coincidence or maybe he's a sockpuppet Wink
shorena   Senior   1PFXEBvZxmxR3VoFNo6aW5uCoce5k8euBk   3422(includingthis)

I would say coincidence. shorena posted in a [.code][./code] format which probably caught his attention and he copied it.

I suppose most of them copy it from someone in the first page. The new enrollment post requirement doesn't have post count in it. If you check the recent enrollemnts, it has 'Post count' which means it was copied from someone else.

Since no one agreed to do it, I will give it a try. But no guarantees.

And you have to ask girlbtc whether this is allowed and you won't be disqualified (and I won't get paid).

I also have the following terms:
1. You will pay me even if girlbtc didn't pay you.
2. If I made a profit of 0 or more, you agree to pay me 0.1BTC
3. If I made a loss, you will compensate me for the loss to a max of extra 0.05BTC.

Example:
I wagered 1 BTC, made no profit or positive profit, you will pay me 0.1BTC
If i made a loss of 0.05 or more, you will pay me 0.15BTC in total
If I made a loss, less than 0.05, you will pay me that amount too. That is if I made 0.03 loss, my total pay would be 0.13

Do you accept?

Can you confirm?

4094  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: girlbtc.com giveaways | get 0.25btc per week with your signature on: March 16, 2015, 08:34:35 AM
This thread is actually misleading, as in this is clearly not a giveaway, rather, you have to pay to get, and that's if your lucky enough to win..?

there are 28 rounds a week .so for the 1 wager ,you just need 1/28 about 0.03btc per round.

and with some strategy ,you can control the risk , like beting on both sides. lady and girl.

so it is a giveaway. join it and you will like it. Smiley
0.03 x 28 = 0.84 BTC mate Smiley
maybe must 0.036 BTC every round we will reach 1BTC Smiley

yeah, you get the accurate amout each round  which is 1/28=0.03571429btc

good luck man. Smiley

You guys don't sleep Huh

I am interested as well. You have not yet confirmed whether you need me as a campaign manager? Escrow I think you PM'd devthedev.

My English is pretty good too. But let us leave that to him. I am more interested in managing campaigns and designing signatures.


If you are not okay with the signature I am wearing, I will use an account I still hold as collateral for a loan made 6+ months ago (September), for a loan that was never repaid and obviously never going to. I will use that to make the opening post at least.

sorry ,a little busy with replies and pms and emails..

I PMed devthedev  and there is no response currently.

how much is a signature even, and what do you think of our currently giveaway&signature?


Yeah, devthedev is a really busy escrow. He will reply soon.
Well, if you doesn't get a reply soon, (I am sure you will though), you may consider me. I am interested too, as I said.

I will PM you all the details. You can post here if you accept it or decline it.

Thank you Smiley

even though you are a Sr. member here , but as I am not very famliar with this forum. I can not let u be the escrow.

I am waiting from devthedev

I am okay with that. Smiley

I am interested in managing the campaign.

Why? Hindi is only the language spoken by the majority.

--snip--

Speakers   Percentage   Speakers   Percentage   Speakers
1   Hindi languages[6]   422,048,642   41.03%   329,518,087   39.29%   366 M
2   Bengali   83,369,769   8.11%   69,595,738   8.30%   207 M


LOL! The main reason Hindi is considered to be our local language because of the Bollywood (Hindi Film Industry) and so Indian TV serials are also in Hindi langauges. "Hindi is the most widespread language of India" as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_India

Bollywood is not the only film industry in India.  You are ignoring Kollywood (lol, I like they way they put that 'ollywood') that is the Tamil film Industry which is also very famous. That is just one among many.
TV serials are also in any other language just as it is in Hindi. There are thousands of channels that are in other Indian languages, lol.
Hindi is prevalent mostly in north.





You're not wrong in saying Hindi is the most spoken language in India.

But most internet users in India are well versed in English and they use English as the main communication language on internet, regardless of their native tongue (unlike China, where most users use Chinese). Hindi is a pain in the butt to type on keyboard, too.

And especially the ones interested in Bitcoins - and part of this forum - come from well educated background and English is their main communication language on internet.

I'm not saying this to include the India forum in post count; if other local boards are excluded, India should be excluded too. I just wanted everyone to know the facts about Hindi and English in India when it comes to internet.

Yeah, Local boards (India) are excluded just like any other local boards are.
