4781  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Help with electrum server on: February 23, 2015, 08:19:43 PM
Try chmod 700 /var/log/electrum.log and start electrum-server once again.

What does numbers mean:

Code:
Number -	Octal Permission Representation
0  - No permission
1  - Execute permission
2  - Write permission
3  - Execute and write permission: 1 (execute) + 2 (write) = 3
4  - Read permission r--
5  - Read and execute permission: 4 (read) + 1 (execute) = 5
6  - Read and write permission: 4 (read) + 2 (write) = 6
7  - All permissions: 4 (read) + 2 (write) + 1 (execute) = 7

4782  Economy / Services / Re: Up to 0.035 BTC weekly for YOUR SIGNATURE *New rules on: February 23, 2015, 07:21:42 PM
Ten bitcons a week is lousy two grand something. Seems like a great deal for all the advertising exposure they get here.

I see bit-x more often. They don't get much.
I do not like their privacy options. I won't give them my personal data and/or Phone number.

You just need to give phone number but after this payment period, they will allow signup with email and without providing phone no..

Bit-x not avalaible for new member, and as I said before my total count post 86post/month.
and I are open to your offer. Grin

Spot is available, look carefully!

BTW, majority of your posts are spam.

Are you making me an offer?

Yes, I can go for 0.0006BTC/post with a max post count of 30 or 0.0005BTC/post with no max posts. I would like to know where you make majority of your posts.

But I recommend you to join Bit-X like others suggested.

You have no way of knowing things as private as that, at best it can be "hearsay".
Anyways, noone said he isnt either, and i doubt anyone cares, it was just a question of transparency of different ad services.

cheers

I finally got the forum's 2013 taxes finished (after an extension).

Here's the final accounting summary for 2011-2013. All values are USD at transaction time because this makes the numbers more easy to understand, though the forum only holds BTC.

Code:
Income
      Donations     Ads
2011       3081    1545
2012      13291   21014
2013      42174  243233

Expenses
      Infrastructure  Development   Mods  Grants    Tax
2011             213            0      0       0    109
2012              11          276      0       0   3973
2013             194       185751  81027    2802  15841

Here are the totals for 2014 up to now. These numbers are in BTC.
- Income: 522
- Expenses: 1505 (1257 Slickage, the rest mostly mods)

Also, 250 BTC was probably lost when treasurer paraipan died, unfortunately. Recovering that BTC is maybe still possible, but it's probably unlikely.

The forum currently has about 5568 BTC in reserve.

BTW, if you are unfamiliar with how tax works with Bitcoin, you'll probably be really confused at how the forum experienced a net loss in 2013 but still paid a lot of tax. That happens because every expense "triggers" substantial capital gains, and therefore capital gains tax. The forum essentially pays a variable-rate tax on all expenses.

If you're interested: I used the LIFO method for calculating capital gains. My idea is to "save up" BTC batches until they become long-term, which has a lower tax rate. My understanding is that you can use any capital gains calculation method, though. (This is not tax advice -- consult a CPA.)

4786  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitcointalk Escrows [Updated Daily] Trade Safely! on: February 23, 2015, 06:59:50 PM
Hello! Updated list below - copy-paste in OP!

Code:
[size=14pt][b]Bitcointalk Escrows[/b][/size]

It seems as if there is no thread with a clear list of all the active escrows on bitcointalk that is regularly updated with relevant information.

Only members with announcements threads will be listed in their suitable category.

Have a suggestion or update? PM me or post here!

[b]Some tips:[/b]
- The escrows in the follow list are to be used carefully.
- Always do your own research before trusting any escrow.
- The 'BIG 5' will be the most trustworthy, but at all times ensure you are talking to the right person and if possible, verify their PGP signature.

Suggestion : Add a short description about
  • What is escrow?
  • Why is escrow need?
  • When is escrow is need?
  • Which escrow should I choose?

Additionally, put a note : Escrow services will not grant you 100% scam proof, but it is definetly an aditional security layer in order to avoid coin losses and scammers.

P.S. In last code, remove the space after the bracket.

I think you need 50 post's to find, some nice signature campaigns. BOSS

Guess I'm just going to have to wait for bitmixer to open again.
Wait? What? Bitmixer is closed? I thought that anyone can join their campaign at any time.

Yes, they closed but I think old enrollees can join.

What if Bipolarbob is satoshi?

Maybe that's why he's giving away such amounts and being so generous.

It wouldn't make sense then , Why would he need a loan in the first place then ? (I know he is probably doing it for fun) and most of all .. why would he leave his own forum to join another forum?

~ Madness

That maybe for fun or at that time he was unable to access the funds as it might be in cold storage.

He maybe making us to think he is online inbother forums more than here so we won't think he is Satoshi like you just did.

how much can you give max your loan
and for how much time do you give in max?

Looks like there is 0.1BTC active loan and the deadline has passed many days ago. I can give you 0.1BTC loan with Bit-X signature payment as collateral or your account.

Its not only that, its about anonimity also, atleast from my point of view. With google adsence they would have to deal with taxes, which is not the case with bitcoin payments.
I think they know whats best for them, whatever that reason may be.

cheers

AFAIK theymos is paying tax correctly and is responding to other legal things.

I have the same question to ask as I haven't seen any accounts banned or deleted here and some have like -50 trust in their account and still can be accessed. Where are the moderators and why they don't ban cheats?

Scammers tend to come back.

Here's you a good example. My convicted2008 account is stolen atm, and it has a negative trust of -2k something. I can't access it nor do I know if whoever stole it can still access it. I requested that it be locked until this is figured out, but idk if it is or not since I've received no message from the mods and whoever has it hasn't logged into it since he changed the password and tried to get a loan with it.

You should PM theymos and Badbear, Mods can't do anything about this. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0

You should have received a message from the mods. I don't know how they work then as these negative trust accounts should be checked properly and be deleted or banned. Other forums work harder to keep the forum clean while here, scammers everyday create new accounts when their earlier account gains a negative trust.

Like I said, mods can't do anything about this. Yes, scammers tend to come back.

Why not just use the Unicode Emoji we all know?

I think it maybe used as it fits good in the design(according to the pic taken on December) but. IIRC it has undergone many changes, so we will have to wait for an updated pics to know which smilies would be good for it. To make it better, I support your question.
