The support staff say it's because my mailbox doesn't accept the provider of such confirmation emails, called a mailgun or something. However, I've Always received those emails in the very same mailbox, so that's strange. I've contacted another support staffmember of Cryptsy and he/she did also told me to provide the answers to my security questions. So I think i'm going to do that and hope the 2-way auth- security will save my balance  |

Hi all,
On this forum I see daily transactions of people buying and selling Amazon.com gift cards and gift codes. What are the actual risks regarding buying these codes? Sure, I know the seller can keep the code after you sent you BTC, or he can send you a invalid code. However, I do also read replies over here that people are that these codes can be bought with hacked accounts and thus stolen money. Is that true?
Will it harm me if I use such "illegal codes"?
I'm asking this because I want to buy something on Amazon.com (to use for my work) but I'm short of some dollars because of the sending fee. As I don't own an American bank account neither a Credit Card, and I can't use PayPal or Bitcoin to pay at Amazon.com, I think buying these gift cards / gift codes is the only way for me to credit my balance.
I would like to hear your opinion about this. Thanks in advance!
Why don't you use purse.io. Will allow you to purchase cards safely and at a discount. Try purse.io for amazon stuff + discounts
I've never heard over Purse.io untill now. Are you familiar with that website? Do they offer legit gift codes? I will have a look later on, as I'm a weekend gone for work now. Thanks for your advice! |

No. That would be great if they do, but they don't. What we're talking about is that you can buy Amazon gift cards / gift codes here on the forum from other people and pay it with BTC. See the marketsection of this forum, and then the digital goods part ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=93.0). |

Imo a higher rate wouldn't be bad, because the current price of Bitcoin is really low. Also, it's the aniversary of 1 year of this campaing, so we could do with a higher rate for celebration  I think they are making a killing in Bitmixer.io and could afford ro raise it a bit, just my 2sats. Obviously still some people are promoting Bitmixer with the current values. And I think Bitmixer is happy about that, otherwise they would already have raised the rate in order to attract more participants . Sure, for promotors higher rates are better. But hey, see these campaigns as an extra for participate on this forum and not the other way around; thus don't see participating on this forum as a way of earning some extra bucks. |

Dat heb ik zojuist gedaan. Ik kreeg snel reactie, maar ben er niet geheel tevreden mee.
Volgens mij las diegene mijn vragen en antwoorden maar half. Nu staat het er zo voor dat ik mijn security questions af moet staan zodat zij mijn emailadres kunnen veranderen. Dat lijkt me niet echt handig omdat ze daarmee toegang hebben tot mijn account zelf.
Zelf ben ik ook niet in staat mijn emailadres aan te passen, doordat deze ook een dergelijke confirmation email stuurt vanuit eenzelfde provider (aldus de customer service). Vreemd genoeg ontvang ik wel instant e-mails wanneer er een reactie op mijn ticket komt. Van precies hetzelfde emailadres als waar de confirmation email vandaan moet komen, maar de customer service // support stelt dat dit via een andere provider gaan.
Momenteel weet ik niet wat ik moet doen..

There was a thread on this exact same subject about a month ago with a lot of helpful replies. Not sure what forum it was in, though. Basically it is very risky buying amazon codes that have a ridiculous discount. If they're selling for 30-50% of their value they're probably stolen codes. If you do use a stolen code there is a chance that you could get into trouble legally but the mos that would happen would probably be it gets reversed.
Alright. I haven't noticed that topic yet. I think it's quite hard now the search function of this forum is disabled. Thank you for your reply! I see some people asking 10% or 15% less than the value of these codes. I think these might be legit, but I'll keep on searching. |

Is anyone else experiencing problems with withdrawing BTC or other coins from Cryptsy currently?
The withdrawal confirmation email - which you should confirm before the withdrawal is processed -doesn't hit my mailbox. Now I've opened a ticket about this, and emails about replies to that ticket (from the very same emailaddress as the withdrawal confirmation email use to be sent from) do hit my mailbox.
Does anyone know how to fix this? The support staff said that I should change my emailaddress, but the email to confirm that doesn't hit my mailbox either. That person told me he/she could do that for me if I provided him / her with details of my security questions, but I don't think that's a good idea as those details give him / her full access to my account..

Thanks for your reply! Did you created an account just to answer my question? That's kind of you . I've got one code, received (for almost free) from the great BiPolarBob which worked fine. So that one was legit / legal. But now I'm still short of some dollars for my order, so I guess I will try to find anyone who is legit too. I just found out this topic of someone named 'Tecshare" ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=841162.0) who obviously seems legit too. I think i'll contact him later on. Again, thank you! |

Congratz!
Maar wat houdt het precies in als ik vragen mag? Het is in ieder geval niet afhankelijk van postcount als ik de forum stats zo bekijk.
The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
Activity is updated every 30 minutes.
Dat is de manier waarop de activitypoints worden berekend. Vanaf een X aantal punten, ga je naar een volgende rang zeg maar. Uiteindelijk is daar de 'Legendary' rang. Daarvoor moet je dus al een hele tijd rondlopen op dit forum (en berichten hebben geplaatst). Ik kan altijd het specifieke topic niet vinden waarin deze levels worden uitgelegd, en nu al helemaal niet nu de zoekfunctie tijdelijk is uitgeschakeld. Mocht je dit zelf niet kunnen vinden, dan kom ik hier waarschijnlijk op terug . |

I'm not really sure how much money I put into Bitcoin. I've made some great profits with mining some coins in the earlier days, but I also don't know what that mining did cost me (with regard to electricity costs etc). However, due to some (ASIC) scams and unlucky investments I lost a big part of my BTC. With my current balances, with the current value, I think I somehow break even with the costs i've made so far. (Although Bitcoin brought me much experience, which is priceless ) |

Ponzi = scam
IMO, ponzi owner always create fake deposit and payment first to attract people.
that 's what i want to know , ponzi obviously a scam why they didn't ban it Much of the ponzi in the gambling section at the moment are ponzi based games. They are not like normal ponzi hiding everything without people knowing the risks. They are upfront about everything, everyone knows the risk. Kind of like how people play dice game they know the risk and chance of losing but with ponzi you rely on other people to get your pay. Indeed, you know that there is a risk. However, you don't know anything about probability changes. In Dice games you do know, atleast, if they're legit. However, you must be willing to take the loss if you participate in a Ponzi. Even though it looks nice sometimes, I think you're loosing more than you will receive in return . |

I've also mentioned this in another topic regarding this subject. Some people see it as a kind of investment game. IF the ponzi owner clearly states the risks, thus that's it's likely that you loose your investment if no new participants join the ponzi after you, and participants agree with that and take the risk with investing, I don't think it's a bad thing.
However, joining some strange websites that assure an XX profit on your investment in XX days is something else: if these websites are ponzi's and they do not clearly state this, they should be punished in my opinion. The least we can do is prevent the promotion of such websites on this forum.

Beste Nederlandstalige Bitcointalkers,
Heeft iemand enig idee hoelang het gebruikelijk duurt voordat je een X aantal BTC kunt withdrawen bij Cryptsy?
Ik heb hier volgens mij tot op heden nog geen problemen mee ondervonden. Momenteel zit ik echter op een confirmation-email te wachten die maar niet verschijnt. Ook niet nadat ik op "re-send" heb geklikt.
Hebben jullie hier ook last van?

Ik zie in de Marketplace sectie van dit forum vaak mensen Amazon.com gift codes aanbieden. Wat zijn de gevaren hiervan, naast dat de verkoper deze niet kan leveren / onbruikbare codes levert?
Ik lees hier soms reacties dat dergelijke codes komen van gehackte accounts, en dus betaald zijn met "gestolen geld". Kan dat? Is het dan erg om dergelijke codes te gebruiken, of zul je daarvan geen sancties ondervinden op je eigen account?
Ik heb recentelijk namelijk een gift code ontvangen en die werkt gewoon. Nu wil ik iets kopen, maar heb ik niet genoeg op mijn account staan. PayPal (of Bitcoin) accepteren ze niet, dus ben ik genoodzaakt om mijn tegoed wat op te waarderen met wat credit d.m.v. dergelijke gift codes (doordat ik ook geen Amerikaanse bankrekening heb of een credit card). Dit wilde ik doen door hier nog een gift code van $10 of $20 te kopen.

I haven't followed this topic for some days, but that are great updates guys! I just found the app in the App Store. Although I'm not able to pay with Guldencoin here (offline) in the area, I'm going to download it . Together with the PaySafeCards I think GuldenCoin is doing a great job to keep ahead of other altcoins. Well done! |

in noord-holland nog geen druppel alleen beetje natte sneeuw
Je weet dat dit topic al bijna een maand oud is? ^^ Vandaag ligt er niets hier (Oost-NL), gisteren was het weldegelijk wit hier. Er lag een mooi laagje op de auto's, maar dat laagje is reeds weer verdwenen. |

I'm curious how one would go about building a provably fair ponzi. With the majority of the dice sites out there, while you have a net -ve EV at least you can ensure the game is run fairly. With all these ponzis it would seem trivial for the operator to open a round and fund the first block of bets. If the ponzi goes nowhere, no loss to them. If it's a success, they've made a bunch of BTC with no risk to themselves.
It's a little different with these Ponzis than with a dice game, as Stunna could play as many rolls as he wanted to without affecting other players.
Exactly this is the point where those in favour of the ponzi usually start to question whether provably fair is fair in the first place instead of confronting the argument. Cant really blame them as its hard to prove you did not do something. I don't think a ponzi can be made provably fair at all. How can you stop the ponzi operator to make a bunch of early deposits in each round? and that is the problem. The ponzi operator is going to know the exact time when a round opens so he can easily have transactions prepared to send to his deposit address while others would need to stumble across an advertisement for the ponzi and send funds to it Well I cant, but I am willing to believe that someone smarter than me could invest heavily into the idea and come up with a solution. Yes, its impossible to prove that the operator is not playing, but it might be possible to remove the operator from the game. Thus the person in charge (operator) would be able to play, but be at risk of losing the same way everyone else does. I don't think you're able to remove the operator from the game, as, especially with bitcoin, everyone obviously can participate and you don't know which wallet belongs to who. "Thus the person in charge (operator) would be able to play, but be at risk of losing the same way everyone else does". Indeed. The only solution for that is script the game / system in such way that it organizes completely random rounds, or atleast creates random rounds. (However, I think most operators are in such situation able to somehow get a message when a new round has started). |

What is the final purpose of a ponzi schemes ? I think all we know the history or not ?
Their purpose? To make money for the owners? like any other business Ok , thanks for the information. So in this case all the ponzi schemes are legit , no problem. Redsnow we are talking about goddamn ponzi games... Not ponzi schemes. The ponzi games working around the ponzi schemes , because if I will invest for first and no one after me invest I will not receive nothing. So the base of a ponzi game , is a ponzi scheme. You canno't talk about the ponzi games , they don't exist. I think because these Ponzi games are working around the ponzi schemes (which they do), does make you able to talk about ponzi games. In my opinion something is a forbidden ponzi scheme IF the participants are NOT aware of the fact that they are participating in a ponzi scheme. In (most) of these games, it's clearly stated that they are participating in a ponzi, and therefore explicitly take the risk that comes with the game by participating. Whether of not these ponzi games should be banned from this forum or in total, I don't know. Personally I should allow them AS LONG AS they clearly mention the rules of the game, thus clearly mention that you are participating in a ponzi and therefore it's likely that you lose your investment (if your not one of the very early participants). |
