Thank you. I've been search this post in google.
BTW, how much minimal donate price?

Until now, you can donate 50 BTC or 10 BTC
For more informations take a look here https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html

Not true. Those are the amounts you will need to donate for a vip or donator tag. You can donate any amount you wish via the link you posted.

You can now also purchase a 'copper' membership for a small fee from here:

Hopefully new ranks will be added in the future.

New thread, new game? Of course I'm in. Who knows, maybe that 20 pounds there will also be 200 at the end? Wink

Or it might be worth much less the way things are going haha. So far there's six people pledged. Hopefully we can get at least ten though 20 total would be great.

Hi Hilarious, Here4Trades replied to my pm saying that he's ok with doing escrow with you.  Please post the address where to send it to.  Thanks man.

I'll send one tomorrow.

When trying to send an email to recover my password I am not receiving the email. I have multiple other friends reporting the same thing as well.

Multiple other friends or "friends". Are you sure your accounts - sorry, friends - haven't been hacked and had their email address changed? I suppose maybe there could be issue with the recent ddos attacks that's stopping the mails getting through. Also, some email providers automatically filter out mails from bitcointalk. I remember I didn't get them at all on one provider and on another they went straight into my junk folder so double check there.
4264  Other / Meta / Re: Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ on: November 30, 2017, 06:00:29 PM
If this is not the solid rock rules, then where is the real list?
Could you please reference to it if available? and if none available, why not make this one the main rules for the forum? Smiley

This is the only list. There previously wasn't really a definitive list of rules and this one has evolved over time with staff and community input. The previous admin didn't seem to want to set rules in stone because people would then try find loopholes and bend them to get out of any action taken against them on technicalities, hence why we created this "unofficial" list. I agree we should probably remove the unofficial from the title though.
Is there a chance maybe one of the Forum moderator to take a look at the list and confirm it as the list of Rules?

hilariousetc is Global Moderator hilariousandco's 2nd account. So, there you have it.

This, and if you actually bother to read the first post of this thread you will see the list was created by mprep who is also a Global mod. Also, not sure why you think a thread would be stickied and not removed if it wasn't all legitimate  Roll Eyes.
4265  Other / Meta / Re: Newbies can now pay a small fee to enable images on: November 30, 2017, 05:57:39 PM
maybe eliminating the title and coins under the name could potentially avoid this perception issue while still providing the functionality. Provide the paid option to allow lower restrictions, fine, but is there a need to add the rank to every post, PM, etc. that the account does?
People like to be recognized, and the special title is essentially a recognition that a small amount of money has been donated.  

Well this is my issue... is this "fee" supposed to be for recognition, or like theymos stated, is it supposed to be just for enabling a newbie to post images and lift some restrictions?  theymos stated this was not supposed to be recognition of a donation.



I'm not sure what recognition being a copper member gets you. The title sounds pretty shitty and the benefits are pretty crappy as well (though they're not meant to be anything other than a way for Newbs to whitelist themselves) and anyone who thinks othewrwise is probably a little foolish or naive. However, the (potential) higher donator ranks such as Silver/Gold/Platinum (if they ever come) will be more 'prestigious' I guess.

How hilariousandco have gold membership as I can't see it there?

I thought the same but it turns out to be a custom title. As a Global Moderator, I think he can use any title he wishes. I asked above:

I just did it as a bit of a joke because I knew it would pique people's interest and get them excited (or worried if you're an account farmer).

I think a lot of us would be interested in this. I would certainly buy it regardless of what extra perks it gives just to show support for the forum. I was going to get the Copper one but I'm holding out to see what happens. It's just a question of persuading theymos that it is a good idea and enough people want it.


I think it would be beneficial for numerous reasons. Lots of people have seemed to express interest in donating to the forum if only the value was lower, so why not give them the option with a few perks to say thanks. If we allow users to say have a Senior-sized signature for Silver and Hero-sized one for Gold etc it will likely put a stop to people buying those accounts instead so it's win-win for everyone in my opinion. There's currently a huge black market for accounts and people are sadly making a business out of shitposting farming and - even worse - hacking accounts so why not give the people what they want and take away money from account farmers and hackers in the process.
4266  Other / Meta / Re: Can We Change Some Policies? on: November 30, 2017, 08:27:51 AM
Op, your suggestion wouldn't work as people would just buy accounts to create their thread as many already do. I have previously suggested that we charge a fee to make your coin announcement here because it's currently far too easy for scammers to knock up a half-assed idea with nothing at all behind it other than the effort it took them to write up the thread. Charging a fee would at least sort the wheat from the chaff and you would also have to be willing to put some money behind your idea.

Take a look at the Announcement/Token board and you'll see 100's of new accounts starting new threads about new coins daily. Now 90% of these are either scams, or doubles. Can we implement a rule where you need to be a FULL member to post in the ANN section? This way all the scams are gone and filtered out. In order to have a new project you need to either be a full member or have a full member of this forum post your thread for you.



I would change the game here and implement the rule that anyone who is willing to annonce ICO on btt must be certified  by one of  reputable  companies  that measure the trust or scam of that ICO. The list of those companies might be approved by forum's olds. Very sad that worst type of scammers had occupied such reputable forum as btt. Community has to change all this.


Theymos has suggested someone actually do this. I think it would be worthwhile but next to zero ICOs would make it through if we had some sort of decent verification process (which I guess is a good thing).

Theymos' thread here:

Have you thought about maybe creating your own ddos protection service as from your concerns it seems like there'd be a gap in the market for a trusted product? I have no idea how much it would cost to create or run something like this but I'm sure it would be a worthy project people could get behind and would make for a decent ICO. Could even use the money we get from any potential new donator ranks we implement to invest in it. Something to consider at least.

Congrats to Wendigo for winning bastard of the week.

Haha I like that title.

New thread, new game? Of course I'm in. Who knows, maybe that 20 pounds there will also be 200 at the end? Wink

Sweet. We could end up with some double winners on both tournaments. If anyone else is interested please state so and I'll put you down. Got to get as many players interested before the end of the year.
4269  Other / Meta / Re: Marketplace trust on: November 30, 2017, 06:43:42 AM
Yes. I have seen the feedback system being abused. And exactly my point.
People who are new to this domain tend to trust and follow people on this forum. Such a system should be backed by some check to maintain integrity of the system. Or atleast in the instructions, make people aware or warn them that the trust system should be taken with a pinch of salt.  Grin

We can't be responsible for how others view the system. It's not a gold standard certification of trust; it's just a guide to help you make your mind up on who to trust or not, but nobody should be doing this blindly. Anyone can abuse or game the feedback system on any site even such ones like ebay and Amazon etc and they both do very little when someone leaves invalid feedback and this forum is no different, except the admin's are quite upfront that they rarely if ever get involved in disputes here.

Tonight and tomorrow we have nice games, so what you guys think?
Hard away game for UTD
Kind a easy game for Arsenal
Everton with new coach
Boring game against WBA and Newcastle
Tight match between B'mouth and Burnley
Goals at Leicester v Tottenham
Can C. Palace win again
3 points for Blues and Citizens but which correct score will be
and can Liverpool win without goal in their web???


Some very valid points to be made for todays game.

Yesterday's games results outlined below:
Tuesday's action saw Crystal Palace draw 0-0 with Brighton in the first M23 derby of the Premier League era, while Tottenham were shocked in a 2-1 defeat at Leicester.

Manchester United beat Watford 4-2 to avenge last season's 3-1 drubbing, while Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham, Liverpool and league leaders Man City are all in action on Wednesday night.

Beauty goal by Vardy in the Leicester shocker last night. Up and over. Wink

Not to be a dick but this thread is just for those who have paid to play. If you want to play you can join in the v2 pool I told you about.

Aw yisss. Top score this week  Grin



You didn't seem to move up any places though  Grin. I wonder if anyone will hit a good winning streak of a few weeks and go straight to the top. Remember there's 400 potential points up for grabs every week.

Glad I managed to salvage 40 points from the games yesterday. I'm more confident about the weekend ones.

They'll just be struggling under the weight of all the traffic brought in by the rapid price increase. Can you imagine how many new users are desperately trying to buy coins and older ones selling them as fast as they can? Bitcoin has been all over the media the past couple of days and these exchanges just struggle to keep running in hectic times.
4272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcointalk English Premier League pool betting Discussion Thread on: November 29, 2017, 01:09:20 PM
Do you want to do escrow on the bet?  If hilariousandco doesn't agree let's look for one at the Services section of the forum.  What do you say?  As Bitcoin keeps rising and rising, I don't trust myself or you to keep on our word.

Hilarious, would you be willing to be our escrow?  It would really be appreciated.

Edit:  No offense intended on Here4Trades.  It's more for me than for him.

I can do if you wish.

I have started up a new thread for a 2.0 version of this one for any newcomers who want to join in: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2484329.new#new

I will transfer £20 of bitcoin from Ziskinberg's money into the new pot and he can then play along in both. If anyone else wants to start afresh they can also join in both leagues as long as you pay the £20. Spread the word so we can drum up more interest for further leagues in the future.
4273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcointalk English Premier League pool betting Discussion Thread on: November 29, 2017, 12:48:08 AM
Okay, i guess this 10 points, which everyone get is from Man Utd Cheesy

Yeah. Looks like most people did pretty shit and a lot only got ten points including me. StephCurry managed to get 60, the bastard. Ziskinberg also got 60 points. Lets see how far he manages to climb up the table.

Another reminder from me as the Week 14 of Premier league is tonight and tomorrow night so don't forget to place your bets. One week with 0 points now can result fatal after the final standings. This week I hope to get some good correct results as for correct scores they look not easy again.

It looks like a lot of people forgot to make their picks (or they did really shit haha).

hi,

could newbie can pay too to recover their old account,  i was away for a while and when i try to reconnect my account was suspended, i try to contact admin many time, i can prove i own the old account, but nobody answer me,
i will be happy to pay to recover it

can be a future option?

thanks

If you can prove the account is yours I can unlock it for free. I can't restore or reset passwords though. I did suggest a while back that admins could charge some sort of fee to restore accounts though.


yes i can but you are not and admin ?
how can i do that,   in mp?

Contact me on my hilariousandco account with a signed message.

It's basically just a rank to automatically whitelist you and enable you to post images (which can be vital for some users).

I feel like it would be helpful to scammers starting up an ICO, altcoin, etc. and posting all of their re-used images. I realize there are legitimate reasons for legitimate people... maybe it's just my pessimistic perception of which group is helped more with this rank.  Undecided

As above said, they usually just buy an account to make the thread anyway (and oftentimes they're hacked accounts). Images were only removed in the first place because some idiot was botting the forum with porn. I doubt allowing them to post images will suddenly make them invincible scammers but I'd rather them do it on a fresh account they just bought.

Theymos, is there an updated number of how many people have purchased it so far?

45
Search by position: "Copper Member"

I really don't get the point of this rank but it doesn't bother me enough to rant about it.  Wink

Ah thanks. Didn't think of that.

How i will pay my bills Cry Bitcoin was gifted to me by God it was running my home :'

If your god took away your bitcoin, he must not want you to have it.  Stop asking for it back, or you will go to hell.   Angry

I never understand the logic of these people. The lord giveth and the lord taketh away.

I need my account back it's my last reply next time i will not expect from admins. I cannot show my ass to them that this is my account. I have proved that it is my account so give it to me. As soon as possible.

You're an absolute shitposter and I hope you don't get your account back:

Yahoo was the first (?) search engine at the time when Internet started.  It was the pioneer in its field.  In the late 90's its market cap reached to a high closed to $120B.   Three and a half years after Yahoo started, Google came out and gradually took away market share from Yahoo.

After 22 years, Verizon bought it for $4.8B.  Would Bitcoin ending up like Yahoo in the future and got beat up by new competitions?

What do you think?  Please provide your reason(s) to support your view.
In every business theres always a competitions,even in the real world,in jobs or in technologies there were also competetors,anywhere at anytime there is competitions its up to you on how to make a strategy to make your business or job to survive,but in technologies we cant predict anything because what can make bitcoin much stronger today is its popularity..its believers,supporters,investors..we as a bitcoiners were responsible of bitcoins fuctuations of prices if we stop believing on bitcoins then most probably its will dump as early as we dont expected.
Hurray was finished in light of the fact that further developed programming's were presented and afterward the utilization of yippee descended however bitcoins isn't hurray bitcoins has propelled security framework and more different things the highlights of bitcoins couldn't be in other crypto monetary forms that is the reason the bitcoins won't end like yippee.

You're obviously using some sort of translator.

Theymos has mentioned he may or may not add new levels in the op of this very thread. There is nothing that I know of currently being planned but it is something I have been pushing for for quite some time because it will put a huge dent in the market for forum accounts if you can essentially just buy the privileges from us instead.

Thanks. I did read the OP it was just when I saw that under your name I initially thought that meant there had been some progress. I do hope it does happen as I agree with you that it would put a cap on account prices, even if not completely stamping out account farming, it's got to make some improvement.


I just did it as a bit of a joke because I knew it would pique people's interest and get them excited (or worried if you're an account farmer). My original suggestion was actually to remove signatures from ranks/activity entirely and the only way to get one would be to donate for one which would then put a stop to account farming almost 100% because it would be utterly pointless to do so. I'm not sure if theymos would be willing to remove them completely but having them alongside ranks should have no issues and will help drastically reduce the demand for accounts.
4278  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Forum moderation policy on: November 28, 2017, 01:16:25 PM
What is considered referral code spam? One of those full on advertising posts with referral codes all over it like were posted when tradehill opened? What if it's a little more subtle? What about low content posts with the code in the signature?

I guess what I'm trying to ask is, is there any reason to not just fully ban referral codes? They're mostly just spam and don't really benefit the forum any. And then it'd be a clear enforceable line.

Just a thought.


I would prefer a full on blanket ban on them to be honest, though I think they're fine in signatures. If people are making low quality posts then they should be dealt with regardless of whether they have a ref code in their signature. However, sometimes they can be useful for companies. For instance, you may want to track how many users are signing up via your thread on bitcointalk or a specific users signature to measure how effective promotion is here and I think that's fine.

 Roll Eyes why would it be deleted? You will only lose activity if you have all your posts deleted from one of the periods you posted in. Activity is pretty simple: When you post in the next new period you will get another 14 activity.  That's all you need to know and worry about.
