Is Mangocoinz listed in any exchange?  What the current price?

It is.
https://usecryptos.com/market/MCZ-BTC Just be careful, it's like most of the altcoins, price goes up and down all the time for no good reason. Nobody knows where it's heading.
5922  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: are there any altcoins that limit hashing power? on: January 25, 2015, 02:35:58 AM
Mangocoinz is a (centralized) application for android phones that pays you tokens for shaking your phone. There's a limit to how much one can mine each day. Close enough?

Proposal: disallow profile URLs for newbie members?

Yeah, that's it! Smiley Essentially a short conclusion of the above post.

I believe that nuking them won't do. It might remove the spam they create but spamming the forum is obviously not their goal. Deleting the account would also be problematic if it's done manually because you would be fighting bare handed against a machine. As I mentioned in a post I made about this, those accounts are probably made so websites can have backlinks. The forum needs to be protected from such automated account creation techniques, and I know it's hard to prevent this completely BUT it could at least become less meaningful with some small changes. Let's say that account's below Jr. Member position won't be able to use the forum's features to add links to their signature and website space. Take a look at the newest accounts. Most of them have 0 or 1 posts, but almost all of them have set a website address. Turns out the forum is vulnerable and someone is abusing this vulnerability to practice his blackhat SEO techniques.

Well, tbh the prices seemed a bit suspicious. He took advantage of the entire forum fr a while since no one experienced enough had noticed him. His work seemed interesting and unique to most people at start.
5926  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scam Warning: WoodCollector on: January 24, 2015, 06:40:09 AM
He must also be pretty bad a video rendering. I mean, 5000 minutes? What was he uploading? An 8k .RAW?

Are they giving refunds to people now or you're just a single lucky guy?
5928  Other / Meta / Suggestion to prevent BOTS and Sockpuppet from leeching the forum's PR on: January 23, 2015, 04:49:53 PM
As many users (and most likely moderators) have noticed, there's a flood of posts that look identical, all from 0 post accounts.

They're posting links trying to advertise irrelevant services etc. My best guess is that someone has created a bot or has some sort of automated post mechanism in use. Although those posts keep getting deleted shortly after they're posted by the mods, whoever is behind it keeps coming back posting links...

My best guess is that this individual is trying to boost the SEO rank of websites he's advertising. bitcointalk has a pagerank (PR) of 6, backlinks on PR 6 pages can be quite costly if provided as a service. Even if those backlinks are forum signatures. As a result, forums might get spammed by people trying to improve SEO or sell backlinks.

So what could be done to prevent a big forum as bitcointalk from being spammed from people with such intentions? I think it's as simple as not allowing low rank accounts to post links. What do you think?
5929  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Insane: Bitfinex exchange owner admits using insider information to trade on: January 23, 2015, 02:22:39 PM
insider information to trade could mean a lot of things. This might not surprise many it it also wouldn't be surprising if he didn't get convicted over this.
5930  Other / Meta / Re: Recent downtime and data loss on: January 23, 2015, 02:20:06 PM
I can't really see this being a conspiracy tbh. Unless damning evidence is presented I'll keep believing that is was some legit downtime due to the issues theymos talked about. The fact that this ha never happened to the forum makes me trust him a bit more about this.
5931  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Cloud Mining Website sends funds to Eobot on: January 23, 2015, 02:05:47 PM
But how can you be so sure that the address the funds were being sent at was eobot's address? Out of the gazillions of addresses. I don't like any cloud mining website but this post seems to be making allegations without much proof. And no adding (eobot) next to an address won't prove that it's theirs.

There are some recent messages missing from this thread. What happened?

Bitcointalk.org went down and they lost recent data, It's finally back up now.

Yeah somewhere around 9 hours of posts were lost. Bitcointalk has an official twitter account to update us for such things. https://twitter.com/bitcointalk

Αν θυμάμαι καλά το έκαναν και στις προηγούμενες εκλογές? Δεχόντουσαν δωρεές σε btc. Ή το έχω μπερδέψει εντελώς?
Δεν τα έχεις μπερδέψει, και στις προηγούμενες. Αν και σε αυτές δεν νομίζω να παίρνουν μέρος. Από ότι βλέπω θέλουν περίπου 20.000€ και λόγο του ότι οι εκλογές έγιναν πρόωρα δεν τα έχουν.

I never thought that this image would be relevant again. Gave me some good laughs two weeks when Paycoin was dropping to hell.

So I let my friend know of this coin, he now tells me that some coins were removed from his wallet because of a daily limit? I don't know what to make out of this.

How is that daily limit supposed to be effective? What does it take into account to make sure that the same person isn't cheating etc?
5936  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] MangoCoinz Official ANN Thread - Mine cryptocurrencies on you smart phone on: January 20, 2015, 04:35:04 PM
Has the source for this been out? Any evidence that it's actually legit?

Absolutely not, we have only developers word that it is fair, closed source. On top of that it looks like it has totally centralized structure, more even than Ripple or Stellar. Amazing people still consider it cryptocurrency, they are more like tokens.

Well, There are actually some exchanges listing 'mangocoinz'. That makes me think that it must share features with the altcoins we're familiar with, but without the source code we can't confirm that the network is secure. The devs have probably invested in promotion in websites that cryptocurrency fans visit. Although I like the idea of mobile mining, I can't this coin being widely adopted nor successful if there isn't more transparency. At least not amongst our community.

They're actual accounts using weak passwords which were brute forced. Nothing that will last more than a week or two if lucky.

What about emails?

5939  Other / Meta / Re: Please give another section to ponzis... on: January 19, 2015, 09:24:13 PM
This has come up before. The main issue is that ponzis are very similar to both other gambling sites and real investment sites, so it's difficult to create a category that includes exactly the right things. How about this:

Quote
Investor-based games
Games where the main factor is whether or not new "investors" join the game. Also any Bitcoin-denominated investment product with an APR of 15% or more, which are similarly risky even if they're not actually paying interest using investor deposits.

Would this description cover any real investments or non-ponzi gambling sites? Would it fail to cover any ponzis that have existed in the Bitcoin ecosystem?

Also, are any actual users of the Gambling section irritated by this, or are people just trying to hide this kind of game? Is anyone against the creation of this section?

Can we make this a reality already? I would even offer to moderate a board like this. It's making so sick that the gambling section is riddled with such posts. And trust me, people that are coming there for the ponzis know little to nothing about actual gambling. The don't come there for poker or sports, they come there to look for a quick 30% "profit". I've noticed that whenever BTC's price dives and we're experiencing a down trend ponzis flourish and it's really bringing the overall quality of the forum down because of the shady promotion tactics admins of those schemes use to promote them.

Προφανώς όλοι θα ξέρετε πως έρχονται εκλογές, ξέρατε όμως πως υπάρχει ένα κόμμα που δέχεται δωρεές σε Bitccoin; Το Κόμμα Πειρατών Ελλάδας δέχεται δωρεές Bitcoin και τρέχουν και το δικό τους litecoin p2pool. Πιθανότατα να μην κατέβουν στις εκλογές πάντως λόγο οικονομικών λόγων.
