Copying and pasting is pretty cut and dry whereas scamming isn't always or will require a lot of time and effort from staff to investigate, hence why it's largely left up to the community police. Personally, I wouldn't be against removing blatantly obvious scams or ones that are very likely scams but I can see how that policy would open up a huge can of worms and people complaining why we removed X but not Y etc.

People can call them whatever they want but it doesn't change what they are. You could operate a ponzi scheme using payment in potatoes but it's still a Ponzi at the end of the day and wouldn't stop people from being prosecuted. With crypto or tokens it just seems to be an easier way of running such schemes and being able to get a way with it due to lack or regulation and the relative anonymity of it but this surely wont be the case for ever.


I think they will issue some sort of warning or threat eventually. I don't know what makes this forum immune from essentially hosting ponzis etc but I'm surprised there hasn't been any heat from them yet (or maybe there has and from a legal standpoint the forum is safe... or we will get into trouble at one point).

I think this is more likely to be the case. I think it's interesting that he's never moved any of his coins because which leads you to believe he doesn't really care about money, fame or recognition which is rare in people these days. If he was a showman then he likely would have not used a pseudonym or would have revealed himself by now. In retrospect I think it was probably a smart idea to separate or distance himself from bitcoin because there's no central figurehead to attack. I can only imagine the level of hate and threats he would get when people lost money or demand he make changes to the protocol to suit their own financial interests etc. Part of me would like to know who he his and his story, but a bigger part of me think he's best left anon, but if he did reveal himself I think it would almost certainly be a disappointment.

I often wonder about the legality and morality of this (not that they really care about either). Seeing as they're taking in money by allowing the site to operate they're essentially running it and I'm guessing they seize the funds for themselves so seems pretty unethical to me.


It'll disrupt the marketplace in as much as the users will just flock to another one as what happened when alpha bay went down people just emigrated over to Dream and Hansa. When you take a marketplace down at least one more will pop up to replace it and they know this but continue with the charade any way. The only way they'll ever win this war is by legalising or decriminalise drugs or these sorts of marketplaces but can't see that ever happening.

You just post them by copy and pasting them. I don't believe you can delete them directly but you can just overwrite them by previewing a new post until they're gone.

Ah, so I could just make two £800 transactions right after each other? I don't mind verifying them. How long do the debit cards take to arrive to the UK?

Yes. I believe the images will show up automatically once you achieve Junior Member status.

Ever heard the phrase don't quit your day job? What exactly will you be quitting to doing? Trading? Investing? Signature campaigning? How well are you currently doing with bitcoin? Why can't you do it part time or in your spare time and see how well you do before you make the decision to quit?

Your thread won't be deleted. Most rules or laws are subjective and is down to the person who is enforcing them but there was likely a good reason for it being deleted. It could have been a valid response in your eyes, but if the answer had already been given sufficiently or it was in a necrobumped thread then it may/can be removed.

I would support it just for the mere fact it will get rid of shitcoin ICO spam from signature campaigns. Hundreds of users per campaign and not a single check being done about them. It's not uncommon to find 50+ users all belonging to the same person posting away one after the other or copying and pasting content. Getting tired of it.

Read somewhere that the SEC has stated they're illegal (no shit) and not to be used by US citizens. I think it's only a matter of time before this forum gets some heat from some sort of scam that was promoted here.

This should be disallowed because it's essentially a way around the one bump per 24 hours rule and they get to keep their page constantly at the top of the sub with everyone essentially bumping it.


In some campaigns they essentially are. Campaigns such as FortuneJack 'force' people to have x amount of posts in the Gambling section or they wont get paid, hence why we have loads of shit threads discussing every possible league of sport in the world with the most of them started by FortuneJack users: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1713944

betcoin also offers premium rates for posts in the Gambling section so why would users waste their time posting in other sections?

I'm sure there are plenty of users that will do you it as a favour for free. I can post it if you wish as long as I can put a disclaimer than I'm not associated with your campaign. You could hire someone to post or look after your thread though as you won't be able to edit it.

Not sure if I understand what you mean fully. Once you achieve Jnr rank you can post and edit images. You can't have an avatar until you're a Full Member.

That's pretty disappointing. Is there no way to implement it so it allows direct bank transfers? I need to cash out £1400-£1800 a month but the physical card only allows £800 a day I and don't really want to pay the money in cash every month if I can help it.

I'm looking for a bitcoin debit card and this seemed to be the one I was going to go for but I've read quite a few bad reviews recently.

Does anyone know if I can transfer bitcoin to the virtual debit card then withdraw that money straight to my own personal bank account or is it just for online purchases?

Well you could, but I personally wouldn't choose a personal trainer (or whatever it is you're offering) based just on a before and after picture, and as other has said there's issues with qualifications and potential clients health issues etc. To be honest, I think you're probably wasting your time offering this service here though, but good luck.

It's in the op, but I've already explained it. You can only get 14 activity every two week period. Search activity in Meta and you'll find plenty of threads asking and explaining about activity.


No, but spamming low quality posts can get you banned and isn't going to make your activity go up any faster. Also, please don't double post. You can edit your previous post.

Please provide more info. What's the account name and do you have proof it was yours? If so, please follow the instructions here to reclaim it:

Why don't you actually do a bit of research and reading? This info is in the op and dozens of other threads throughout Meta. Post count and activity are not the same. You can only get 14 activity every two week period, so that's why they are not 'converted'.
