I don't think creating spammy half assed unfinished threads is a good idea. There is a preview button next to post so you can see what your thread will look like. It also saves them into drafts for you.
He can always delete them (if there are no replies), 'preview' is a good feature, but you can't test polls this way and that's what he mentioned in the OP |

Hello,
I am a bit new here and wonder if there is a test forum where I can create new topics, polls and in general can try out things before I participate in 'normal' forum discussions.
Just go to off-topic board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=9.0and play around with creating threads, polls etc. You can put a short disclaimer: "I'm just testing forum options, please do not reply" and delete it once you're done. That's just so the mods won't ban you for spamming (but there's high level of tolerance in off-top) |

In 3 weeks Pocket Rockets Casino turns 2 years old! Feels like a lifetime, especially in Bitcoin gambling  Hoping to have a few more new games on by that time but most importantly I want to do some special promo. Open to ideas from every one so feel free to post suggestions. I'll post more details as we get closer to the big day. Thanks for playing at https://pocketrocketscasino.euThe last promo was pretty good, with physical items as rewards (+ equivalent in BTC option). But after few days many realised they don't have much chance to win anything, so the competition was limited to few players. What about promo-lottery?: - multiple rewards (preferably physical items). 1 main reward (higher value, i.e. tablet etc) and many (the more the better) lower value items. - set period of promotion (say 1 week) - every 0.1 wagered (any game) during the period = 1 lottery ticket (0.1 seems pretty low, but otherwise it could discourage small players) - 1 player can win only once. This way everyone will have a chance of winning and will have incentive to be active throughout the whole period, but still, the ones who wager more will have higher chance. Just an idea... |

actually im quite happy to see there is no major win in the sites today, I hate to see that big roller win up and take up the sites balance thus lowering my investment profit, and congratulations to you 1gal, how many rolls do you need to win that btw,?
I do understand where you coming from, but every site needs big winners. People wouldn't trust the site if there were no winners. Plus, most of such winners will likely come back for more... you know what that means. But I don't expect anyone to gamble big today, it's Fri the 13th after all, and many gamblers are pretty superstitious. |

This is big news! But why do they pick such random locations? Testing purposes? Lol!  What's random about Poland? They've got ~15 million customers there. Which country wouldn't be random and why? |

You know what you can't buy with Bitcoin yet? Yachts. I mean you can probably go through https://www.bitpremier.com/, but I mean you can't go to your local yacht dealership and point to a Yacht and say you want that model in navy blue with gold trim. Can't pick and choose, just whatever's posted on the site. You don't know that. For such high value items, dealers could be pretty flexible and open-minded. If they know (roughly) what the Bitcoin is and that it can be quickly exchanged to fiat, if they know you're a serious customer and if the agreed price is right (protecting them from rate fluctuations etc) there's a big chance they would agree to take BTC as a payment. |

3 people ask for locals but no answer.
please could you give us an answer?
Read the post, silly. It's mentioned. Posting in local boards should be paid for.[1] [1] Am not sure. I thought I saw something about this a few days back, just haven't had time to re-read the post just to answer your question. Message from marcotheminer...
Local posts do not count anymore.

Regards,
Marco

And I still don't know what they do in that company
does someone exactly know?
That's the point, it hasn't been publicly revealed yet. I guess the only people who know more details are investors and 21 Inc themselves. But I'd expect them to shed some more light rather sooner than later. Also, you can sign up for email notification on their website. |

Vote here please :
Create a last payment list in bitsig.website\beta ?
- Good idea , i can see what I received last days
- Not a good idea , keep privacy ; also users can saw their last payment from the pms and ,,,
Kind of Respect ,
Bitcoin Boy
I vote for the first opinion, I think it will be an useful feature. If it is not possible I suggest to add at least the day when each of us will be paid. Thanks for the attention. Missed that voting request. I also think it's a good idea. Privacy has nothing to do with that since post count and rates are public anyway, also you could just enter anyone's UID and check their earnings. |

I wonder what these guys are going to do... I'll definitely follow them in near future. I hope it's something related to Bitcoin ATM's, or a serious exchange Nah, it must be something bigger than ATMs or yet another exchange. We already have enough of those and I don't think they would raise a record amount if it wasn't really unique/revolutionary. Time will tell.

Message from marcotheminerHey guys! First week of the bot has been completed and the payments are being made as users pass the 1 week mark.
New rates (due to the high number of posters and no limits) are:
Staff: 0.0014
Hero and Above: 0.0013
Senior: 0.0011
Full Member: 0.0008
Still no minimums or maximums! Please avoid making useless posts, I will start being tough on spammers as soon as my ban is gone.
Local posts do not count anymore.
I will be restructuring the campaign soon (perhaps switch to a more efficient monthly payout or once a week payout for everyone at the same time and increase rates again).
What do you guys think?
I’ll be unbanned in 5 days or so.
Regards,
Marco
The only objection I have is that payment reduction should've been announced during the first week (effective from next week) not after the 2nd week has started (for most). Otherwise is not in line with the camp. manager - participants agreement, you shouldn't be changing the rules during the period in question. Please avoid making useless posts, I will start being tough on spammers as soon as my ban is gone. +1 Local posts do not count anymore Fair enough. Strict but clear rules are better than the vague ones. I will be restructuring the campaign soon (perhaps switch to a more efficient monthly payout or once a week payout for everyone at the same time and increase rates again) I personally prefer weekly payments. Same-time payment for everyone seems fine (think Fri or Sat are best) |

Sorry, didn't mean to duplicate, I did forum search before posting but it's pretty useless... Sometimes it doesn't work for me too. But what are your thoughts about the said start-up, since you've posted a thread regarding that matter. I posted this for informational purpose (as I didn't know that there already is a thread about this). You want my opinion on a start-up which operations are not revealed and remain secret? They have a nice name. If you have anything to contribute - don't be shy. |

1) xbt.money - no, it's crypto
what do you mean? I think XBT is the BTC alternative, this is how Kraken & CNN Money shows it, i think... I might be wrong though. I agree about bit.social. It sounds like... i don't know, i just like it. Think he meant that Bitcoin is 'cryptocurrency' not 'money', but he's wrong as 'money' is not limited to 'fiat money'. If you don't know what to do with domains, you can list them for sale on Marketplace board. bit.social sounds really good, but cannot think of any type business it could be used for, other than maybe some social networking (not necessarily bitcoin related), but we already have plenty of those. I wouldn't be selling this one cheap though. |

Some big news from yesterday. A record funding of $116 m raised by secretive Bitcoin startup "21 Inc." The nature of 21's operations is yet to be revealed. List of investors include chipmaker Qualcomm, PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel and renowned venture capitalist Andreessen Horowitz. http://www.wsj.com/articles/big-names-put-cash-in-bitcoin-startup-21-inc-1426029318Nor has it publicly disclosed precisely how it will use those funds, though Chief Executive and co-founder Matthew Pauker flagged “several interesting developments over the next weeks and months” that will deal with software and hardware products designed “to drive mainstream adoption of bitcoin.” Can't wait to hear more details. The official (I assume) website for 21 inc doesn't say much for now: 21 million Bitcoin, infinite possibilities.
The future of money belongs to those who show up. https://21.co/ |

Bitcoin price rallies as secretive startup 21 receives record fundinghttp://www.ibtimes.co.uk/cryptocurrency-round-bitcoin-price-rallies-secretive-startup-21-receives-record-funding-1491323The price of bitcoin has continued to rally over the past 24 hours, rising by around 6% in value to take its market cap above $4bn for the first time since January. Several other major cryptocurrencies have followed in bitcoin's lead, including a 5% rise for litecoin and a 2% rise for dogecoin.

Bitcoin startup 21 Inc has announced it has raised $116m in venture funding, the most ever received for a startup in the digital currency space.
Backers include chipmaker Qualcomm, PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel and renowned venture capitalist Andreessen Horowitz.
21 is yet to publicly reveal the exact nature of its operations but co-founder Matthew Pauker told The Wall Street Journal there will be "several interesting developments over the next few weeks and months" that he hopes will "drive mainstream adoption of bitcoin".
Pauker said: "Bitcoin is going to change the way that people and businesses and even machines interact with each other. But for bitcoin to realize that vision we need mass adoption. It can't just be for Silicon Valley."

I think theres a problem with the invest/divest.
I cant click "divest all". not sure if its a problem with hot wallet being empty?
Its working fine for me, try divesting through smaller amounts. Yes, divest all has nothing to do with hot wallet, and current hot wallet should be fine to cover withdrawals. Can you please try again? And did you see any error notification? Just logged in and tested, invest/divest works OK for me too. @ifyousmell, maybe you had some network connection issues? |

http://www.forbes.com/sites/katevinton/2015/03/10/three-anonymous-bidders-take-home-50000-bitcoin-in-silk-road-auction/The U.S. Marshals Service has announced the results of its third Silk Road Bitcoin auction, which began on Thursday. Two winning bidders took home the bulk of the Bitcoin, with one anonymous participant winning 27,000 Bitcoin and the another winning 20,000 Bitcoin, according to USMS spokesperson Lynzey Donahue. A third winner took home just 3,000 Bitcoins.
The USMS would not comment on the price of the winning bids. At current market value, the three winners’ Bitcoin is worth $8 million, $5.9 million, and $0.9 million, respectively.
... So let's do the math: $8m / 27,000 = $296.30 $5.9m / 20,000 = $295 $0.9m / 3,000 = $300 Slightly above the current market price. But I guess it's still cheaper than buying such quantities on exchanges (that would drive the price up). Seems there's no risk that any of the buyers will dump their coins if the price stay on current level (~$290) (also posted in Press board)
