I could name 5 popular black market sites that are alive and well today that deal in illegal products. People that sell Cocaine and Heroin most likely won't appear on a website that is moderated and have strict rules about what vendors are allowed to sell.
OB is going to have moderators and rules? Doesn't sound very decentralised to me if so, but I'm not entirely sure how a fully decentralised or uncensored one would work anyway. If OB doesn't really work for people wanting to buy illicit materials one will come about that will work for those people that's for sure.

Well, it looks more like a standard automated cut and paste reply to me. From their business viewpoint, they won't integrate as long as the volume is not big but when this starts to go mainstream, I'm sure you don't even need to send an email asking them for a favor. They will voluntarily do it. But I'm sure like every big business entity they are monitoring the progress of bitcoin.
I don't understand why they don't do it already. Sure, if no one did it before, it would be way to risky, but I mean even Microsoft is already in. What the hell are they losing except clients? eBay needs to get with the times as well, same for Steam. Accept crypto? Lose money Well that's the risk you take when you hold a percentage of coins instead of using a payment processor, but who knows how much those coins might be worth in the future.

I think they're probably the next evolutionary step from Silk Road. Any darknet market will likely have to be decentralised in the future to actually remain operational or to give its users faith that the admins or some other entity isn't going to run off with their money at some point. This must be completely decenterlized for it to work or Merica will shut it down.
Well that's the idea with desentralised markets .

I can't stand this level of PC-pandering. It's ridiculous. If you're offended by a game or anything in it - don't play the game. Problem solved. And what's next? Removing Shindler's List and Inglorious Basterds from itunes? I love how they've been fine with the confederate flag up until a couple of weeks ago.

2-2 DirectBet - shouldn't the score prediction be within the normal 90 minute game? That's how it works at regular fiat bookies? Yeah, I think it should. Don't know why they don't do it this way to be honest.

You could use an escrow to check the quality of posts beforehand. I'd trust someone like Quickseller to do this.
See no that's called shady business practices. You don't buy something and use and escrow to test the product with intent to lie to the escrow handler and get your money back. Remind me never to buy anything or sell anything to you. What the hell are you talking about? Where does lying come into it and how is it shady? You use an escrow to make sure you're getting what you asked for and I don't see how it's any different from other escrowed deals here. Without one you have to give op the name of the account which he could then turn down or expose your account or worse someone will get scammed or not get what they asked with. My proposition is the opposite of shady and protects both the buyer and the seller. The op wants an account with decent posts and the buyer wants to make sure he gets his money. An escrow would likely be used anyway to conduct the deal so I have no idea what you're on about.

How much are you willing to pay, op? State your prices and I'm sure you'll get some interest but accounts with higher quality posts/history will go quite a bit higher than others. 1. Quality posts - I will be checking the account posts precisely and thoroughly. ps: not trolling or increasing my post count. this is a serious, self moderated thread (anti bullcrap)
Not looking to sell , but I doubt people here advertise accounts that they wish to sell before the trade. You could use an escrow to check the quality of posts beforehand. I'd trust someone like Quickseller to do this.

Although this item is widely described as a vaporizer caution must be taken to ensure that herbs do not combust. The herbs sit directly in contact with the heating plate therefore the unit can produce smoke. Please be advised of this before purchase Are there actually any pen vapes that do what they're supposed to? Seems most of them apparently suffer from this and it kinda defeats the purpose of a vape when this happens. What portable one would you recommend for around $150?

They'll have to adapt to survive. If there's ways they can massively save money they're not just going to let them pass up. There's already several banks looking into how they can adopt blockchain technology but that likely won't do anything positive for bitcoin as they'll use their own systems or a third party company, but bitcoin will still remain as a decentralized alternative outside of the mainstream.

I agree that it should be shown everywhere. What is the downside of showing it in every thread/sub?
Because the argument is it's not relevant to some boards. Does having negative feedback effect your posts/contributions in Politics and Society? Nope, but it might if others let it effect their opinion on that user though even though it shouldn't given the circumstance.

I've been saying for ages all we need to do is to get people to start using and supporting bitcoin. Just make cool platforms and gimics to bring in the mainstream donks.
Such as? It's obvious and easy to say that all we need to do is get people using it, but it's not as easy as that and most people have no real need or desire, especially for a currency that could lose them money (though the opposite is also obviously true).

The author is right, Bitcoin has reached a point in which you don't really have to understand it's underlying technology to be able to use it. There are online services that help with the usage of Bitcoins and mobile wallets that are secure enough and simple enough for daily usage by a non-techie Using bitcoin isn't even that difficult, maybe only slightly more daunting than using online banking or something. I've always said there's not that much difference between using Paypal and blockchain.info. In fact, I think bc.info even has more security features than PP. Wallets and services will only get easier and more secure over time too. I think it's not irrelevant if you want to have some sort of privacy. Bitcoin's privacy is extremely weak for someone that has absolutely no idea how it works. If Joe were to make public his real identity attached to an address for donations or whatever, that address would be tied to him forever unless he knows ways around it. Bitcoin needs work to make privacy more easy for newbies so they don't need to know all the technical details.
True, but those people likely don't care too much about privacy in the first place as if they did they would likely already be more careful and aware of how to keep themselves anon.

I think it could be valuable in Beginners and Help for sure. It's probably not uncommon for deals or scams to originate there. Lots of naive newbs looking to make (or lose) some money etc. It's not really relevant in the others but can sometimes help you identify trolls easier (a lot of accounts seem to start trolling once they get neg-bombed).

Am I allowed to bump this thread?
Once every 24 hours. Please remove previous bumps when you make a new one. You should also state an asking price.

They're wildly different because there is no fixed price and many variables. If someone has a just turned hero with crappy posts and can't sign a message then that will go for much less than if someone has a higher activity hero with great posts and can sign a message from an old address. Sometimes people want a quick sale and will accept the first lowball offer they get whereas if they had a little patience they will likely be able to sell it for much more.

I cannot fathom why anyone would do this. Wouldn't you get more from faucets? You'd certainly get more with just a few posts on a signature campaign that's for sure.

Why would anything happen? Bitcoin will go on regardless and the other companies will use their own blockchains and tech. If they plan to use our Bitcoin blockchain in some way then I'm sure they'll have to pay the appropriate fees.

I didn't say all members, but it's logical as time goes on that Legendary will become more and more common and as common as Hero is now and the longer time passes this becomes even more so. If the new ranks double in time every time they're added it will be fine though you could make the existing ranks longer to achieve.

lab test confirms 'deep-fried rat' is actually chicken the guy who was raising a big stink about it all over facebook and threatening to sue over it refuses to comment now and removes any posts asking about it It would be funny if he got sued for defamation or something. No idea why he or KFC bothered to send it off for testing. A visual (or a quick taste test if you're feeling brave) would have sorted it.

Badbear didn't seem too keen on it last time it was brought up. I'm on the fence. Would be helpfully in some ways and not in others.
