it's some competition and making mining profitable to an extent since BTC/LTC and all big coins are difficult to mine in. it make bitcoin and cryptos looks like a joke specially with "funny" coins and it loses it decency as a money transmitting method.

You might need to establish trust first before becoming an escrow. as escrow itself is based on the trust of the two parties in you and this account is still a brand new user.

People should treat any message they receive claiming they won a prize and you haven't even enrolled to it or offering free money (or someone giving his money to you randomly)and if it asks you to download something be double suspicious about it.

I mostly send any strange coin I mine straight to the exchanger  , I only have the BTC and LTC (and the LTC one isn't even synchronized with the network)

it varies day to day and checking wheretomine and multipool might be a good option for getting daily stats. Before it was dogecoin but now with the current difficulties/prices I don't think it's profitable.

This is to avoid PM spam and it's quite reasonable as many commercial bots come here and could just PM everyone and then create another one and do the same without even posting. This one protect the forum form this kind of spamming.

You don't need to write an essay,Just waiting for 4 hours while being active and browsing and posting a single reply (and the one line ones work too I guess) so it's more about waiting and browsing/looking around than writing.

Coinbase have many issues. One of there main disadvantages is that they sometimes cancel orders (based on suspicion) just when BTC price increase significantly,And though you can't be totally sure but it's suspicious they do that to some customers that look trustworthy.

it can be profitable if you choose the right coins in the right time. and possible more profitable than other options if you have a low quality mining equipment and can't compete with other miners in highly competitive coins.

it requires some effort to recruit these 20 referrals. And with the price of VPS's at least a positive review from someone that got a VPS from the site is important.

This is some good news for BTC's if it was true though I doubt it considering the previous comments on this topic.

Nice milestone for Blockchain.info . They are now one of the largest online wallets (I guess they have more members than Coinbase).

Yes I saw there was no update from weeks and faucet being empty. it was a nice option for bets when you don't have a balance with a slight chance of reaching withdrawal threshold.

Not specially interested in this item but gyft is growing rapidly and with it's use of BTC's is positive for the price of bitcoins.

it's very annoying as you start posting but later when your activity reaches 20 or around that area the time between posts decrease gradually as your activity increases.
Also Login and search count as a post.

Nice game. the free game time is too long and require a single week of active playing for a single free prize of 0.001 BTC (If you win) .

I too like the idea of adding tapatalk to the forum. It's easier to navigate through the place with that app on a mobile or even a tablet.

Well I think part of your post is just to drive down the price (and I doubt you can convince enough people to do that), Anyway BTCChina market has decreased and though they made some re-charging cards through third-party that can be bought by bank. Still there is a possibility that even that method might be banned later.

Very unlikely on short-term. First because they will lose money considering there %+0.3x$ fees and that BTC's is a competitor to them and adopting to it means changing there whole system. Not to mention the current policies they follow regarding verification and sources of money might not fit with the anonymous nature of BTC's.

You can use this forum service section (and you might get more exposure for whatever service you offer). also if you could translate/do likes,tweets/record funny videos you might want to check jobs4bitcoins (or something like that) reddit page.
