Am i allowed to enroll ?

I don't think so.

You could probably auto-enroll, but you'll likely to be denied the payment:

Investopedia seems to be covering subject of Bitcoin quite regularly. Type "Bitcoin" in their search bar and it will throw back quite a lot of results.

I guess you can like Bitcoin or not, but you cannot ignore it anymore.
5207  Economy / Gambling / Re: PocketRocketsCasino.eu - 196BTC max payout! NEW 30% AFFILIATE + ROULETTE + DICE on: March 06, 2015, 08:28:12 PM

Is the new affiliate program replacing the old referral system?

I don't see neither my ref link or my affiliates anymore in my profile page.

It is yeah. The old system made almost no money for affiliates. So it was barely worth having and affiliates had no incentive to go out there way to bring traffic.

Under this new system affiliates have a much greater incentive to promote the site.

Dunno about that, I was pretty happy with my earnings from just one player (not active anymore, disappeared after re-branding).

Haven't done the math, but think the old system could be (on average) just as attractive as the new one.

Is there any chance you could leave the old system along with the new one? It was fully automated and you cannot have the same player signed up under both, so shouldn't be a problem.

Also, will referrers still be getting their commission from the already referred players? I don't have any active ones, but the others might.

I wouldn't say that all patent/copyrights laws are wrong. If you created successful brand, you should be able to somehow protect it from competitors who would just rip off your logo/name and confuse customers.

But things got out of hand, what was meant to be a 'protection' turned into full blown industry. Recent lawsuit lost by apple (~$500m) to some small company who only capitalise on holding patents, proves the case:

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/02/25/apple-loses-patent-case-to-small-texas-company/?_r=0


Other problem is the amount of ridiculous 'inventions' being granted. My personal favourite is the guy from Australia who managed to patent a wheel (although he did it to show how bad the new patent laws are):

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn965-wheel-patented-in-australia.html

Quote
An Australian man has been issued with an innovation patent for the wheel after setting out to test the workability of a new national patent system.

John Keogh was issued the innovation patent for a "circular transportation facilitation device" under a patent system introduced in May 2001.

OK now. I'm on -8 posts as per the bot. Post count being 0 is different and being negative is different. How can I work if I not only need to make new posts but also work to get my post count being positive? It is getting tough for me as the moderator is deleted my old "bump" posts which is OK but the bit-x bot shows the post count negative   Sad


In any case those posts were made before I joined the signature campaign so why are they being counted now. Shouldn't they be "Excluded" posts  Cry

Just keep the record of your post done for the first week and I'm sure Marco will adjust your payment manually. And hopefully all will go smooth in the following weeks.

The bot has to rely on total posts number (don't think there's any other way to do it), so such things will happen from time to time.
5211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's golden moment on: March 05, 2015, 02:31:23 PM

on the same lines, how did BIT jump the Wiklevi and get approved first? They have been trying for ages to get theirs going, without sucess, then out of no where comes another ETF...
They don't have to be different, there are loads of duplicate ETFs and ETCs in other markets, I hope they are both fluid enough though, otherwise if the liquidity is bad no one will want to buy either.

From what I understand BIT got FINRA approval, while Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust filed for SEC approval.

But I've no idea what's the difference in practice and how's it possible to be FINRA approved without SEC approval (or the other way around?).
5212  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's golden moment on: March 05, 2015, 01:07:05 PM

Great news indeed. But what's the difference between BIT and Winklevoss' Bitcoin Trust ETF filing (not yet approved)?

Is it essentially the same thing? In both cases bitcoin will be (indirectly) publicly traded.

On related subject, there's also first publicly traded bitcoin exchange:

QuadrigaCX, Canada’s largest bitcoin exchange, is poised to become the world’s first publicly traded bitcoin exchange. It is set to trade under the public company name of “Quadriga Fintech Solutions” and its listing has been submitted and approved. Public trading is expected to commence with the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE/CNSX) ticker symbol “XBT” by early April.

FYI: There is no daily limit. Maintain quality of your posts and only make on-topic posts. You won't be banned. People listed above were banned because some of their posts weren't really on-topic.

   -MZ

Think it's worth to quote SaltySpitoon's (moderator) clarification:

Everything is subjective, sometimes 100 meh quality posts spammed in a 1 day time frame catches a moderator/admin's attention more than 10 poor quality posts. There aren't post limits, however it goes without saying that at a certain point its hard to maintain post quality. People aren't banned on a whim, time is spent investigating especially in these situations where it isn't copy and paste/quote/smiley face/ +1 spam. Sometimes people spam meh - ok quality posts, but when you read the threads they are posting in, their posts aren't completely related or they are just reiterating prior posts to get the post count up or they are posting in threads that have already drawn a conclusion, and they are just reiterating points. People that post very frequently especially those with paid advertising signatures catch more attention sometimes than small spammers. Trust has no impact on bans or ban duration, while admittedly account age/status does minimally if I'm being honest. No one has a free ticket to spam, but a newbie with 5 of 10 of their post count being low quality are more likely to get a severe ban, than a member who has been active and posting high quality posts for a while, and slips up and spams a bit.

As I said, there are no rules on post count, you can post every 10 seconds if you wish, but the chances of your posts being quality decrease when you impose quotas.

I highlighted part which is the most common issue imo

I've never heard of Quadriga before, the approval sounds like a great news, but using "XBT" ticker is a bad joke (if that's true)...

Anyhow, good to see things slowly going mainstream, in other news BIT (Bitcoin Investment Trust) gets FINRA approval:

Few currency topics generate as much excitement–and controversy these days–as bitcoin.  So we wanted to know what readers thought about cryptocurrencies. In a recent poll on The Wall Street Journal’s MoneyBeat blog, 83% of  respondents said they believed there is a future for cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin.

83% of WSJ readers see future for bitcoin and cryptos, that's way more that I would expect.

bitcoin could hit 10m usd / coin if world adopted it , and i'd consider that pretty damn rich my friend : )

At such high level of adoption the BTC/USD rate would be rather irrelevant.

in 1 hand, you can have 40 microSD 32GB ... with a literaly tons of movies and 1 android tablet with a USB power on the site.
and you does what ?

view a movie in a crap screen on a plane. Roll Eyes

Watching anything on your phone/tablet is not really handy if you have to hold the device in your hand(s). Plus, most of the times you've already seen whatever there is downloaded on your device.

I'm sure many new people will watch RaRoB and get more idea on what the Bitcoin is.

Definitely a good news.

OP - thanks for sharing

Wait, what you are saying is that someone wants a loan of btc to buy ltc giving his already owned ltc because he believes ltc price will go up? Seems pretty stupid to me

Scenario:

You have 100 LTC and no other funds available

You know for sure that LTC price will go up within 1 week.

What do you do?


Wait for it to go up? You cant know it for sure so it would be really risky to get a loan. Lets say 100 ltc = 1 btc
So you will get a loan of 1 btc using your 100 ltc as collateral, you will need to pay at least like a 5% of interests so thats 1.05 btc back, the ltc price would have to go up by a lot to compensate all the trouble and the fees so not a really good idea

All true, but this is not a question of whether it's a smart move or not and what's the probability of the price going up.

Providing you know/believe/willing to gamble on price going up (higher than loan interest and related costs), then it makes perfect sense to take such loan. If all works as planned, you'll gain much more than just by holding and selling those 100 LTC alone.
