It does smell of nothingness. Does that count? Maybe burning electronics?

I can get $25 LOL gift cards. You can use it towards anything in the LOL online store. I don't know if that would interest you?

I definitely wouldn't spend it on anything like that. I would get myself a nice home and be done with it. Share the money with the family and live life.

You can use a software like ditto instead. It runs quietly in the background and keeps all your ctrl+v stuff.
If you manage to hit f5 by mistake , you'll close that notepad also.

F5 just refreshes the page. It will not clear anything that you have on notepad, libreoffice or word. It's always good to keep a copy of anything which has taken a long time anyway.

Confirmed. I was also scammed 0.01 BTC by lala. Go and submit a negative feedback on 'trust' option.



I dropped him some negative trust and he was kind enough to give me some back.

What are you talking about? What account was sold?
I can provide a phone or something.

A phone? Do you mean a phone number? Or a actual phone you will ship out to the person lending? Providing a phone number isn't collateral. If you have any alt coins, they are typically used as collateral. As well as domains etc.

Ah I remember this conspiracy theory. (not this particular video). I thought this was hilarious when when I first watched some videos on it. I watched one where they said George Bush was a lizard.

Would you be willing to pay for escrow fees?

Some browsers allow you to press the arrow which will take you back and may save the details. However, some don't. If you are really that concerned you can always copy and paste it on a notepad.

Skype Calls are free of cost and the are helping people, Let them do there work, Why to bring them down in there profit? We are enjoying video calls and group calls so just enjoy that. Good Luck

Skype calls are only free when calling another person on skype. This was a official skype collaboration too I believe.

Minimum requirements mean the game run, nothing more, just run.  Cheesy

I guess that's true. Doesn't mean it's playable just means it can launch and crash immediately.  Grin

Maybe you can only leave trust after both parties have agreed to do a deal. It's silly being able to leave trust for anyone anytime. Can you go on ebay and leave everybody negative feedback without even trading with them?
That would be hard to do. Being able to define when someone has done a trade would have to be done manually. Which would require the staff to do a lot of work. That also requires hiring a lot more staff. Even then you have staff which will be involved in a private trade. Which a lot of people will not agree to as a lot like their privacy.

The system is also flawed because a newb can scam a load of other newbs and the trust wont even show up and he can continue scamming. A honest person can have loads of positive trades and none of them will even show up, but one "trusted" member leaves him negative for no reason and boom, he now looks like a scammer.

It's the persons responsibility to search up the person who has left negative trust. You wouldn't trust a random person on the street so why would you on the internet. You would want to ask questions and research. The trust system is a guideline. Makes it easier to contact those who left bad feedback for the particular person. Granted some people do see the trust system as a end all system. As soon as they see "Trade with caution" they immediately assume they are a scammer. But, people have been proven to be irrational and there is no fix for that. None of them will show up? You can enable this on your profile to show untrusted ratings by default.

No you can't. But, this site isn't just a trading site like ebay. If someone is acting suspicious then people can state that in the trust section. Remember trading is a very small part of the forum. People mainly come here to find out information and discuss. I would say a big part of the forum too is seeing what the world thinks about Bitcoin.

I would also like to state that if you allowed only to give feedback/trust when you have traded with someone it would be blocking others giving trust for people posting malicious links, websites and other suspicious activities.

Bump.



I'm willing to sell at $3 worth in Bitcoin.

imho there is no need for a trust system on this forum

Maybe there is no real need for a trust system. Although, a lot of people tend to use it and it works for them. It's not forced on you. It's something which you can use only if you want too. Even when people have bad ratings and I'm going to be trading with them. I don't assume they are a scammer straight away. I first research about the person who left them bad feedback. Take a look at the reference if they included any. Do forum searches on them. The trust system just makes it a lot easier.

But, you don't have to use it. I haven't used it in awhile.

there are already some well established escrow services which can be used for relatively small transactions.

I'm glad you said this. Remember the escrow's are people too. Maybe tend to think that they should be trusted to questions asked. However, there has been instances where the escrow runs off. Even "established" and trusted ones. Remember you have to choose wisely when using a escrow. Search up their history to see if they have been in any dodgy deals.
6975  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: It's stupid that newbies must make 5 posts and browse for 4 hours. Here's why on: December 27, 2013, 12:31:17 PM
In my opinion those newbie restriction are pushing lame posts. Ive read the forum for years now. Some days ago i registered an account to post something and now i see this newbie forum full of useless posts. It's spreading misinformation and probably is not helping anyone.

Welcome to the internet. Never truly believe anything you read from the internet. Remember that most people aren't qualified in that particular area and no very little about it. Although, I hear a lot of people complaining about the restrictions and I must reply with the same answer as always. There is a reasons for the restrictions. It prevents spammers, scammers and general clogging up of the forum.
6976  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: .bitcoin Top Level Domain? on: December 27, 2013, 12:28:59 PM
I very much doubt we'll be seeing a official .bitcoin, .coin or .bit any time soon. There are of course unofficial .bit extensions. A lot of people have tried this in the past but there wasn't much interest.
6977  Other / Off-topic / Re: Call Of Duty: Ghosts Vs Battlefield 4 on: December 27, 2013, 12:26:21 PM
I think they have potentially lied about the minimum requirements as well because a lot of games do that lately, they claim such and such processor and graphics card will run it but when you actually load up the game you'll find it's only barely playable on the lowest settings
Quite possible. When me and my friends are getting a new game to play on. Some struggle to run it. Even though they have leaps and bounds beyond the minimum requirements. I think they state lower requirements to get others to purchase their game to increase profit. Although, it's very difficult to play when it's stuttering. I haven't got a powerful computer and I struggle to run some games with meeting the recommended requirements. It's something which needs to be looked into I think. It's misleading the customer.

6978  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The intersection of Bitcoin and gaming on: December 27, 2013, 12:14:34 PM
Seems Bitcoin could be very useful to gaming related companies. As most gamers would be interested in Bitcoin because of the way Bitcoin works. I would expect to see a lot more gaming companies popping up which accept Bitcoin.
6979  Other / Meta / Re: VIP Member "goat" abusing trust rating system on: December 27, 2013, 12:05:25 PM
I think there needs to be a better trust system implemented. It's worthless at the moment.

What do you purpose as a better trust system? If the trust system is used correctly then it's fine. When people request staff to get involved in the trust system and to moderate it, that's just silly. With quick research about the user who has given bad feedback to anyone. You will see if you can trust that. I don't trust someone because they have a few good trust ratings. I first search up those people who gave them trust. The trust system is there to help. Not to seal the deal. It's a guideline which when used correctly is very effective.
