First of all, you're posting in the wrong section.

But anyway, I wouldn't really recommend to buy an account. But if you've already made your mind, it's really hard to recover an account after changing the password and security question. Theymos won't bother doing so unless it's a serious case.

Faucets are a waste of time. Try learning something online instead of spending so much time to earn a penny.

If you have any services to offer this could be a good start. Are you good with something? Let's say that you're good at writing essays, maybe article writing is for you.

Coinbase just following US law, because they abide by US law.
It is their responsiblities to do, they are giving option to withdraw.

I believe that we're coming to this as a result of the millions of dollars that was invested to them. They're playing it safe. But using coinbase as a bitcoin wallet is pointless now. You don't even have control over your own coins and now your account could be shut down at any given time just for sending out a transaction to a suspicious website. This is all the way against the neutrality bitcoin offers.

I won't let coinbase practise fractional reserve with my coins any longer. They shouldn't even been considered a wallet service any more.
6405  Economy / Gambling / Are you a gambler? STAY AWAY FROM COINBASE! on: August 23, 2014, 07:27:53 PM
I'm moving all my funds away from them and it's not just because I'm a gambler. Coinbase's User Agrement was updated on July 10, I don't know if  this was added in the latest update but it's obscene. Take a look below.

Quote
7. Restricted Activities.

7.1. Fiduciary Accounts/Custodial Assets. You hereby certify to us that any funds used by you in connection with the Coinbase Services are either owned by you or that you are validly authorized to carry out transactions using such funds. In particular, you acknowledge that Coinbase may not be a qualified custodian under applicable law, and represent that your use of the Coinbase Services is in compliance with any applicable requirements governing the maintenance and use of fiduciary accounts and custodial assets.

7.2. Restricted Activities. In connection with your use of the Coinbase Services, and your interactions with other users, and third parties you will not:

  • Violate or assist any party in violating any law, statute, ordinance, regulation or any rule of any self-regulatory or similar organization of which you are or are required to be a member (for example, those laws, rules, or regulations governing financial services, controlled substances, unlawful gambling or consumer protections);

I asked that this should be clarified a bit more, the response I got was that they comply to the US law and will suspend accounts that don't comply to the regulations accordingly.
Engaging to any gambling service would put your account at a risk. And it's unclear how this would affect your funds. I'm calling it now. ABANDON COINBASE! They don't respect your freedom, they monitor transactions and will shut down your account no matter where you live according to the US law.

zenminer.com has now been down for a few hours.

Well actually only the main site is down, the cloud is up. So we can still see how much we are making.

Care to elaborate on how you're seeing that?

So here are people from bitcoin-trader online to answer questions?
Good, my question is, why your trading results does not change with high volatility of bitcoin price?
I do arbitrage on my own. And in the last few days, when the price "crashed" I made good money. But the weeks before, when the bitcoin was quiet, it was very difficult to make money with arbitrage.

To be real arbitrage results, it would be more credible, if they would go from 0,1% on quiet days, to about 5% on high volatility days. And not only from 0,6% to 0,9%. (and yes, you have some high percentage on really quiet days, and some low percentage on really volatile days, that's why I don't think your results are real)

I'm not sure how the arbitrage trading in BT is supposed to be working, but automated trading is different with manual. Each has different advantages when compared to the other. From what I've seen so far, software that does automatic arbitrage trading does it in real time. Meaning that it detects difference in prices in two places and executes trades instantly. Obviously this would be hard to be done between two exchanges. You'd need a more advanced program to compair currency pair prices and trade between different exchanges. But according to all this, automated arbitrage programs aren't really affected from day to day volatility. It's mostly the small changes from moment to moment that effect them.
6412  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: bitcoin-trader.biz on: August 22, 2014, 08:28:07 AM
As of writing this the page is up again

I was requested to come here ans ask BT representatives some questions. I think this is a nice chance to finally get an answer on some stuff I've been pointing out for months now.
First of all, I feel like there is not enough effort being put on proving that the company is actually generating profit. I know there are two options to invest the pool and arbitrary trading. BT has no excuse about not showing public proof about either of those and I'll tell you why.

First of all, if you own mining equipment that is pointed toward a pool, you can just show people the address that you collect the coins at or alternatively to show a picture of the rigs (if BT is the owner of them).

Now it's a bit harder that there's indeed profit from trading, but you can at least show your users the trades. I'm sure that you're already aware how big traders prove to their investors that their profit is indeed being generated from trades. Since all of your investors come online to check their investments this would be even easier for BT. Instead of just following the Cristine Madoff tactic and only showing trading results, you could also show them the trades that resulted to the daily profit. Some traders have used twitter as a platform for recording their trades and using it for  future proof. (You'd need to do this in life time, so maybe a bot connected to your trading accounts would be better.)

So there you have it, ways to prove that both your investing options are not ponzis. What's your excuse for just presenting the end of the day results?

Also, why is there a shadowscripts logo in BT's about page? You know those guys sell HYIP scripts right?  Roll Eyes

Friendly reminder for everyone to not get fooled by flashy images, good sounding promises and some faces being on display. Scams have always existed and they will more likely never go away. I'm not intended to bash this project, but you shouldn't really invest with what you can't afford to lose in something that technically doesn't even exist yet.
6415  Economy / Invites & Accounts / Re: (WTS) Steam accounts on: August 21, 2014, 07:56:54 AM
Ok I got the account. Here's my review.

First things first, they games I got along with the account indeed seemed to be random. Two of them are rare steam games that at first got me somewhat confused because of their rarity. And the other were games of a totally different genre. Also each of those games individually would cost more than what you'd be buying a single account from this guy. But I'm not sure if it's always going to end up that way since games are given out randomly.  As of the account's usage, there was no personal data of previous users stored in it. Besides some game hours, the friend list was empty and there were no activity logs. So you won't have to deal with the awkward situation of handling someone else's personal data. OP seems to be experienced with what he is selling. The accounts he is offering would be a great gift for my gamer friends that don't really like spending much money on games.

Is grue really moving threads from off topic? I'm sure this doesn't have any bad intentions but why not just stick to the preference of the original poster considering his own post to be off topic?
6417  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: I am planning to start bitcoin mining so please help on: August 21, 2014, 12:29:19 AM
I've written two guides on mining, you can have a look at them here: link 1 link 2

Number one is about hardware mining and number two is about cloud mining. You should be looking at cloud mining if you'd like to start with just one Gh/s. The guides were aimed to non experienced users so I think you'll find them particularly useful.

right.... another cloudmining scam.

This is what we need for newbies huh?


Well, I'm not sure if you actually took a look at the article itself. Just in case you didn't :
Quote
Furthermore, you should not forget to check the reputation of the company you’re going to buy a contract from. This one is really important, there were cases that companies handing out contracts turned out to be scams and there still are concerns about the rest. Even Gavin Andresen, chief scientist at the Bitcoin Foundation voiced his concerns through reddit stating that mining contract companies could be running ponzi schemes.

This is in the last paragraph of the article. In the previous article, I even tried mentioning ways people can check the reputation of a company.
