Sorry to do this, but this forum has been burned by Newbies repeatedly. I will remove this post when you receive a positive review/experience from a reputable member of the forums or receive a positive trust rating from a customer.

Which is it? I may have an interested buyer to conduct $50-100K USD per month, but I highly doubt that they'd pay +6%.

Whatever happened with your arrangement? Your last message was that you'd look for an escrow and see what happens, and then you disappeared for over a month? I'm not taking any sides here, but based on what's publicly posted here on this thread, your behavior is extremely untrustworthy. Maybe something else happened behind the scenes, but perception is everything.

Don't forget to apply for Round 2 (begins Sunday at approximately 9:00PM GMT -6)

Round 2 application cutoff is on Monday at 9:00PM (GMT -6).

We have almost two days remaining for this round, and giving the participants' posts a brief scan, I'm pleasantly surprised with how much they're trying (most of them, at least )!

I will make sure to provide my personal feedback about each of the participant's best posts for the week, and tips on improvement (based on my [mysterious] criteria) when the round ends.

Great job, everyone!

NOTE: I will be revising and adding a few new definitive rules, so make sure to read the updated top post upon the start of Round 2.

That's an oxymoron at its finest: Trusted parties do not sell user data to random forum members.

No need. Your top post is well worthy of [at least] 2 Merits.

I just double-clicked the send button on the Merit page. I can confirm that double-clicking does indeed double-merit.



See you in next week's stats!

I'm digging the simplicity of your website's user flow, but also the complexity of how much detail went into providing this mixing service. I'll use your service this weekend for a small transaction of around $20 and provide my feedback at that time. Question: Is the default miner's fee automatically updated? If so, which recommended fee structure are you utilizing? I currently see 110 sat/b, which seems very high for a SegWit transaction.

Random request (I know, I know; this is prior to utilizing your service): Would it be possible to add an auto-converted field that allows me to enter a USD amount rather than a BTC amount, or vice versa?

Example:

Unless you're talking about a double chance method that's different than hedging your bets, such as on sports betting, there's nothing scammy about using it. I don't see how this method would work on gambling sites, though.

Either way, it sounds like OP found an exploit, which is scammy to sell to others. While it's not really illegal, I'm sure, it's still highly frowned upon, and I hope that whoever buys this method really considers what it is that they're doing.

He actually does have red trust, but it was left by a user that theymos has recently removed from his Default Trust list. I'm not sure how the default trust is displayed according to whatever options that you choose to display them, but I can see that Komorhan, indeed, has a big ol' fat -2 DT tag.

I don’t have too much to contribute but I do want to remind you that your invest,ent into crypto ONLY becomes a loss if you decide to sell it at a loss. Do what you have to, but you should try to remind your wife of that.

 

You don't say! If only someone else would have said the same thing as you on any of the previous 5 pages of this thread!

I think it's time we should introduce a demerit system. But not one where it takes one person to simply demerit another user (for having shitty posts like the ones quoted above), but what about if the demerits aren't publicly available for viewing on any post, but if a certain post receives n amounts of demerit votes, the user is demerited... For example, if a user's post gets voted to be demerited by 5 separate members, the user then has a merit removed from their account. All the while, it would never indicate publicly that the user has been demerited (to help reduce hive mentality), but it would be visible from the user's merit stats page after they have had a full merit score reduced.

If the user is at 0 merits upon getting n votes? How about if the account is temporarily banned from posting on the forums. Maybe 1 week for first offenders, 1 month for second offenders, and permanently for third time offenders?

I know it's still too early to discuss a demerit option, but I really am getting sick of the repetitive (sly) shitposters like the ones I've quoted above. You know, the ones who can actually construct a decent (and I use that term loosely) post, but still do not have the ability to review the context of the topic before posting...

Maybe I'm getting way too detailed in the nitty gritty, but I'd give anything to be able to help contribute to the fine-tuning of this forum

fixed that for you.

Again, posting more shit you know nothing about. I love newbies. I even put up $25 of my own personal money to award to them every week for actually posting constructively in the forums. Take that chip off your shoulder, and try to remember why this forum exists in the first place. It’s not to breed campaign junkies, which seems to be the only reason you are here. I challenge you to prove me wrong, but given your post history, I doubt that you’ll be able to do so.

This is extremely similar to the way I personally answer this question. Great answer! Enjoy the merit and top-post fame

You see the little button on the bottom right of the private message that says "Report to Admin"? Click on that to report it directly. Thanks for bringing this up; I'm sure a moderator will look into it. But for now, make sure to report him via the pm, as well.

Let's just hope that this is nearing the last we'll hear of Mt. Gox. The sell-off method in which they approached is very selfish, greedy and irresponsible, but it goes to show how volatile the BTC industry is. I'm okay with it, though. It just means that we're having yet another firesale on Bitcoin at the moment

At the end of the day, as much as Mt. Gox is at blame for all the stolen bitcoin, it was a valuable lesson for users not to store their coins in exchanges. While I'm not justifying the actions of MG, we need incidents like this in order to help shape the security and safety of bitcoin in the future.

Regarding the volatility of the coin anytime a big sell-off like this happens? This may be a one-off. Most huge bitcoin hodlers aren't going to irresponsibly flood the market with massive amounts of bitcoins. I'm assuming that if they want to move a large amount of bitcoin, they would do it off-exchange, meaning they'd conduct a private sale, in order to protect the market from sudden plunges.

But nigh is the day that we will not have to hear about Mt. Gox again. *fingers crossed*

Most people you talk to for the first time about Bitcoin won't have any idea what this forum is. Or what a bounty campaign is. Or how to create a bitcoin wallet. Or how to accept bitcoin. Did you not read my suggestion about what kind of answer that I'm looking for in the very post that you quoted?

Although your address is valid, your signature verification has failed using both Bitcoin.com and BlockExplorer.com

Because if even one potential shitposter reads this topic and changes their mind about blindly applying to a bounty campaign, then this topic will have served its purpose. The changes start with one user st a time, and I actually commend OP for taking the time to record and publicly announce his observations.

Given your post history, I would say you made your biggest mistake in BCT history on December 17 when you registered your account.

You haven’t contributed anything to the forums, and are only interested in utilizing the forums to shitpost so you can rank up to earn bounties. While this is a great incentive for members, it shouldn’t be the sole purpose of joining the forums, which is exactly why the merit system was introduced.

I want this thread to be a tool for users to arm themselves with information that isn’t wildly technical. The majority of questions that newbies ask aren’t technical, so the questions you’ve asked aren’t generally popular ones asked when trying to learn about what bitcoin is.

Regarding your answer, when I’m asked this, it’s usually because they have no idea that you don’t have to buy a full bitcoin. The answer that I’m looking for is one that includes that you can buy any amount of bitcoin that you can afford. Want to restructure your answer and post again so I can merit somebody in this thread?
