Bought myself the freedom from the corrupted current financial system  Wink

Also, usb flash drive. I think that was my latest 'physical good' purchase. And made a small donation to wikimedia today, it can be considered as a voluntary payment for service.

There's not a faucet on this site?  Huh

The graphics are rellay nice, and the house edge is the lowest.. But faucet is primary for me Cheesy

Faucet is not a good idea, it discourages the small players from depositing. Instead of depositing small amounts, many would likely choose to abuse the faucet instead. And it would probably interfere with the current investment and referral systems.

What are the benefits? More low-quality traffic?

5943  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Statistics collected on number of bitcoin users on: December 13, 2014, 05:28:52 PM
As what the title says let me give you an example of what i mean. I'll just take the pool of friends and family members including colleagues and acquaintances that i know. Out of a pool of 50 people there are only 3 persons who are into bitcoin and another into dogecoin. In other words that means (just) among those that i know it is something like 6% adoption rate while 8% overall for crypto.

Did you include yourself? If not, the % would be even better: 8% and 10% for crypto.

My question is... is there any real statistic that tells you roughly how many people according to geographical location that shows the adoption rate. Like for country to country. Any data collected thus far. Or any work done by the foundation to measure the progress on adoption rate. Any estimate?

It's very hard to compile reliable stats. Back in the days the number of wallet downloads could give you a good idea about the adoption rate by country.

But it's not an issue anymore, as there are simply to many different wallets (available from different sources) and other storage options.

This guy is a complete tool and I highly recommend avoiding any Campaign he has anything to do with.


Lol, why did you apply then?


I applied like 3 days ago and you didn't say Denied but didn't add me to the list  Embarrassed

But I guess I'll reapply

Wait though Am I supposed to put the Signature on first before I apply?

Maybe, just maybe, that angry post has something to do with the fact you've been rejected?

We will focus on promotion, but probably not a sig campaign yet... Do you have any suggestion on how to promote the site?

You should try to get it listed on gambling directory/reviews sites, such as:

http://bitcoincasino.info/ thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=714266.0

http://www.bitfever.org/

http://bitcoinchaser.com/

There's probably many more.

I'd start with contacting NLNico:

http://dicesites.com thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=877078.0


Other than that, you can consider some small on-site giveaways or contests etc


5946  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Cloudmining alternatives? (LTCGear) on: December 12, 2014, 11:55:01 PM

I know of Cryptomine as I enrolled in their campaign. I dont know how they are likely a ponzi. Every cloud mining company like cloudminr, gawminer and others are accused of it, and they are all having signature campaigns.

If you are saying its a scam then go to Scam Accusations and put forward your evidences, and how they are better or worse than others of the same type. Suddenly jumping on me doesnt help.

I didn't jump on you any more than you jumped on that newbie with your ref link.

There's a difference between wearing a sig (because you don't want to lose your potential earnings etc) and actively promoting likely scams.

Go read their thread (their responses) and tell me you think they're legit, tell me that you don't see a red flag anywhere. I dare you.

I don't know much and I don't care about cloudminr, GAWs and cloudmining in general. I know cryptomine coz I also participated in their campaign, but I had enough self respect to drop the sig as soon as I noticed there's something clearly wrong with them.
And I took the matter a bit further than Scam Accusation section.

Does the below sound as reasonable advise?:
Before investing in promoting any you should always do your proper homework
5947  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Cloudmining alternatives? (LTCGear) on: December 12, 2014, 11:01:25 PM
Cryptomine.io is also an alternative. I am currently enrolled in its signature campaign, see t he signature below this post.

Before investing in any you should always do your proper homework

Cryptomine is very likely a ponzi attempt and you know it if you follow their official thread.

Keep promoting scams to newbies and you might end up with red trust, which will cut you off from further sig campaigns earnings.

5948  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Cloudmining alternatives? (LTCGear) on: December 12, 2014, 09:58:34 PM
Be careful, a lot of those cloud mining sites are designed as ponzis.

Sure, they'll pay you at first, but than it all collapse.

See the Puppet's thread:

Can't say no to free bitcoins.

You should put link + brief site description in the OP

Just pushed a little feature, now bet with high profit / loss will be broadcasted to the chat log Smiley


Nice feature. I like the leaderboard too, not sure is it new or maybe I didn't notice it before.

I see you finally got few 'bigger' players.

Are you planning to run any promo campaign anytime soon?
5951  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you earn Bitcoins? on: December 12, 2014, 02:32:00 PM
I earn a few from the Bitcoin faucets....

You earned few bitcoins from faucets?? Seriously doubt that.

I bought most of my bitcoin using fiat which i earn from doing affiliates and advertising campaign. There's limited option though to get paid directly in btc so it's far better to earn it in fiat and then convert it. Also a portion of my stash is coming from signature campaigns.

Sig campaigns can be pretty good, especially when combined with ref links, but those are mostly not available for low-rank members (such as the OP).
5952  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investopedia: 5 Most Important Virtual Currencies Other Than Bitcoin on: December 12, 2014, 01:50:18 PM
That article should be revised next year. I know that XMR will be listed there. No XPM, no Dark

This article should have been revised before it got published.

I sense the author wrote it months ago and she just updated price and market cap figures.
5953  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you earn Bitcoins? on: December 12, 2014, 01:41:57 PM
Affiliate programs is one way (check my sig). You could also mine bitcoins. Check the service forums for people that are requesting all kinds of services for bitcoin. You can also sell some of your stuff in your house.

Those are some quick ways

Can you suggest some affiliate programs that pay in Bitcoin?

Check out the gambling section. Most of the dice/casino/poker sites have affiliate programs and pay commissions in bitcoin (or altcoin).
But it's very hard to earn a decent amount this way if you're not active on other forums or have your own website(s) or blog etc.

5955  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Investopedia: 5 Most Important Virtual Currencies Other Than Bitcoin on: December 11, 2014, 10:16:37 PM

Fresh article (yesterday) from Ivestopedia. Author seems to be extremely out of date, but thought it's worth sharing since the Investopedia is considered somewhat reliable/serious investment dictionary.

http://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/121014/5-most-important-virtual-currencies-other-bitcoin.asp

So the top 5 is:

  • Litecoin
  • Darkcoin
  • Peercoin
  • Dogecoin
  • Primecoin
5956  Bitcoin / Press / 2014-12-11 Analysis -All the rage a year ago,bitcoin sputters as adoption stalls on: December 11, 2014, 10:03:26 PM
Fresh reuters article:

http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/12/11/uk-markets-bitcoin-adoption-analysis-idUKKBN0JP2D020141211

Quote
After skyrocketing to more than a thousand dollars in price late last year and attracting global attention, bitcoin, the leading digital currency, has stalled.

Figures obtained by Reuters show that while "wallets" - cyberspeak for accounts - are being created at a steady clip, many of them are empty. Analysts also provided Reuters with data that shows liquidity in the cryptocurrency remains limited.

Bitcoin, a virtual currency created through a "mining" process where a computer's resources are used to perform millions of calculations, has been hailed as revolutionary because of its lack of ties to a central bank and its potential as an alternative to credit cards for paying goods and services.

So you're looking to borrow ~$2000, you provide BTC/LTC as collateral. Why not just sell your BTC or LTC for USD instead of borrowing?
like all collaterals, you don't want to sell it right now...

Makes no sense, unless you're betting on the price rise, if so - good luck.
yes i do but that's my business...
if you don't think the price will go up why don't you give me this loan?  Cheesy

I wasn't being sarcastic, that was a genuine 'good luck'. I hope you're right and it goes up.

I think you should be open about why you want that loan (in your thread in lending section), otherwise many can find it suspicious and choose to keep away from something they don't understand.
5958  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Cryptomine.io - SHA-256 & Scrypt Unlimited Mining Contracts on: December 11, 2014, 03:00:42 PM
I see my bitcointalk account has received negative trading feedback without me actually making any trades.

It seems that the user Mabsark will do whatever is necessary, including biased and unfounded negative feedback just so that the mining service he is endorsing can be the only one on the playing field. 

To sum it up, we're now playing politics, kindergarten edition.
Because of this, I will have to make a public appeal to the cryptomine signature campaign participants.
After the first month ends and the first payouts are released from escrow, I would appreciate it greatly if you could give my account positive trading feedback.

Quote
All signs point to it being a ponzi. I will remove this if evidence of legitimacy is provided.

What's the problem? Come clean and he'll remove it.

So far you failed to even answer the simple question: is your name Eric Rosby and was the photo of you real or fake?

Any positive feedback for the sig campaign will probably land on Carra's account.
