I initially came to Bitcoin to promote my personal website, but soon realized that I need to get up-to-date with the current web technologies that exist out there. Now I come here for that odd free Bitcoin giveaway as well as to share with the project my current Bitcoin website projects I am developing.

It really depends on the type of poker game you are playing, who you are playing against and your skill level. I have heard even professional poker players like Chris Money Maker typically have anything or nothing, and always run the opportunity of going bankrupt.

BitGold I will admit has an interesting platform and I think it may offer new opportunities to investors. In time the value of Bitcoin will be realized and everyone investing in this currency will become rich.

As far as loans without collateral are concerned, I am thinking about programming in a loan bidding process where investors bid on loans without collateral. I do not have the details worked out, but I plan on basing the procedure from that of other social fiat lending sites.

Bitcoin is an investment in itself with many various applications. Every-time you buy Bitcoin or accept it as payment, you are making an investment in the price of the coin. I keep saying it is a long term investment, however. I find it best used at the moment as a means to store currency. With gateway interfaces like Bitpay, we a able to differentiate Bitcoin as an investment and a currency.

I don't know what to say then really. Freedom of speech is important, but your right to freedom of speech does not give you the right to harm others. During an election, I can't tear down the signs of the candidate I do not like from the lawns of others. I could be imprisoned under the Elections Act. Lying and scamming is wrong.

I might want to teach myself some new coding languages and code some bots from these games. Friends of mine in real life have talked about selling botted WoW accounts. Anyone who has that kind of skill and has already shelled out for a high performance gaming rig could make a killing

So since I do not trust PayPal whatsoever when it comes to Bitcoin, I am looking for someone located in Canada who is able to accept an e-transfer from me in exchange for Bitcoin. I am only interested in doing business with you if you have a good trust rating. If you have a neutral trust level, I may not want to do the exchange with you. If you are still wanting to sell me $45 CAD worth of Bitcoin and won't do a reverse transaction on me I would be happy with that,

I am trying this thread over again. In the previous thread that I created, I was trying to provoke a thoughtful and meaningful discussion about the various ways of making money on the internet. While I will to admit to writing bots in VB.NET for Swagbucks years ago, I think it's pretty uncool to bot a thread and forum not making money inherently in itself as Swagbucks does, and I think it is a bit unethical to spam or bot the little man. Even Robin Hood didn't steal from the poor.

That being said, I am starting this over again. What are some reliable legitimate, proven ways of earning an income online? My answer to this question would be: if you know how to code, at the end of the day you can be your own boss. Anybody who is a hobbist computer programmer has the potential to get hired for paid work. At the end of the day if you have a talent that is needed you will make money. Why do you think online marketing is such a big industry? Those who are good get hired to promote others websites.

If you are talent-less, there are always signature campaigns, filling out surveys, doing captchas, installing junk on your phone and faucets. That being said, it would be wise to combine all of the above to make a stream of extra income online. For those with low income, you might be able to get by with your low income benefits as well as the combined income of the previously mentioned methods, but don't think you can get by.

And if you're going to spam this thread again, upload the source of your bot to http://www.github.com and, if you have the wit to do it, I will give you a job to test the security of my lending project! All you have to do is realize that it's pointless using your coding skills in that way and if you think for a quick second - not like a computer, but a human being, the social consequences of spamming the fuck out of the same thread and raping the shit out of this forum with signature campaigns isn't cool, and it limits opportunity to the rest of us who could definitely use the extra income from signature campaigns.

Yes I am. I had to close that thread.
WordPress has a plugin, bbPress which enabled a threaded based forum which in my experience is better than what SMF has to offer. In addition, it is easy to develop different WordPress modules which would handle things like lending, buying and selling. What I am saying is this forum's inherent open nature gives too many people the opportunity to scam and there are more than enough developers to mod WordPress to get a custom Bitcoin oriented community forum.

I'm in the works of finalizing the entire site process but basically a user can currently register on the site and deposit some funds to invest into the site. The lenders submit their request for loans to the website and offer collaterial that is greater than the funds being borrowed. The lender would pay a fee for using the site as well as interest paid to the user funding the loan. I am considering implementing a fee for investors making large amounts of money. It will be a lot like this forum.

What would really make you money is if you upload your bot to GitHub and let all of us potential coding employers examine how exactly you managed to spam this forum with your useless bot postings.

Well, I have been spending a lot of time on these forums (my stats report I have been logged in for over four days). One thing I can say is openness always leads to the possibly of being fucked over. I've seen it time and time again not only in the lending section, but even in a popular thread I had to close due to there being little discussion and the implementation of a spam bot being used to make the sock puppeteer a passive income spamming the forum.

If I were the spammer, I would only make such a bot to show employers on this forum my programming skills. People who do this in my opinion have very little social skills and in my opinion have to have a  severe case of Asperger Syndrome to not put his programming skills to use. Think about it: they don't have the confidence to put themselves out there on the internet and use their coding skills for good use.

I think it may be time to upgrade this site to a WordPress based site. That way, people won't abuse the system and spam, and a more friendly atmosphere can be fostered here and people are more productive here.

(PS: Just for the record, I have autism myself. I am not trying to attack people with Asperger Syndrome)

Stop spamming this forum with your BitMixer signature campaign. I will contact your sig campaign manager and have all of your accounts removed.

Well, one thing I can tell you is I am a guy and I find your post very offensive and derogatory towards women. I know a lot of hard working beautiful women who bend over backwards to do their best in their field. Even those women that are secretaries still have a job. All the secretaries I have known were very knowledgeable of their business or service. Even I was a male sectary and I can tell you, I know a lot about running a marijuana dispensary, and got a good salary.

I was talking gambling in general and online, a combination of the two. What I have to say about cryptcurreincies and gambling though is that it has brought us the edge that was talked about a few posts ago. We have not experienced that before. Provably fair still does not mean you always win, it means you only win 50% of the time.

Well, I was intending for this thread to be used for productive purposes, but since spammers have tried to hijack this thread for sig campaign spamming (which for the spammers credit answers my question) but since people would rather spam instead of think I'm closing this thread.

My best advice: Find a talent that suits you and work on it. If you really want to make money online, look into marketing or programming. Go to a polytechnic school and learn web design or computer programming. Develop more hobbies and hobbies become jobs.

(If anyone thinks I closed the thread unfairly, let me know by PM).

At the moment, I do not feel comfortable exchanging Bitcoins for PayPal since any dispute always is decided in the buyers favor. Henceforth, it becomes difficult to find sellers here in this forum and even Bitcoinexchange. I tend to find an e-transfer interact deal on localbitcoin.com when I need to do an exchange, but even then it is reverse-able and you have to trust the person you're selling to.

I meant to have a rough website up and running for you guys to see what I currently have but Cake does not sit with shared hosts. I will hopefully have it up in a couple of hours, running on a cloudserver.

I have not earned any Bitcoin today, but I got a PM looking to hire me as a coder. I have found on this forum if you know how to code the opportunities as a coder are endless.
