. By my count all 25 x 0.1 and 10 x 0.05 slots have now been taken (assuming everyone is accepted).

1) theymos ultimately, but members of the default trust can add people to their trust list thus becoming trusted
2) possibly. Report lots of posts with a decent accuracy score and be an active community member and theymos may ask you eventually
3) theymos is the mac daddy and he is the admin just because  
4) theymos essentially owns it or is in charge of the running, but legally or officially ownership is somewhat a grey area
5) satoshi used to post here but doesn't anymore. There is no problem with his account but I believe it is locked to stop attempted hackings. Satoshi could get it back if he wished by proving some decent evidence that it is infact him (pgp key, signing a message from known addresses etc).

You were close to missing a spot haha. Think there's only a few slots left for Seniors now and Full Members slots are full so you best update the op ASAP. How will you be managing this thread unless you're going to be in control of the op account?

People often try stall you with excuses like this when they're scamming you so yes, likely you've been scammed. You should always use escrow for deals like this. Please provide more details of the transaction here (user ID, transaction ID, PMs etc) or open a scam accusation with all the info in the Scam Accusation forum.

Yes, newbies can have positive trust and you get it by doing trades with trusted members on the default trust list, but you shouldn't seek to just build this up to appear 'trusted' as that can appear dodgy. Just do trades naturally and you will gain the feedback over time. It is much more important to become a familiar face and reputable member without than just having lots of feedback.

Where are you getting this info from? Prices do seem to be down slightly from what I gather, but not this cheap. Wouldn't even really be worth selling them for that as you can make more in signature campaigns. I also suspect accounts will become more valuable again soon with the return of the PD campaign and others as well.

Thanks.

Please heed what theymos said about this and don't hassle his family or whatnot. This is probably better left to theymos or someone with better connections to be honest. I doubt it will easily be recoverable so you're likely just wasting your time.


Haha.

Nice to see another fixed-rate campaign. Haven't seen one in a while.




Lol fail. You're meant to put Bitstarz in the title. The Bitstarz Redemption etc.

There's a new thread for thread for the January campaign: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=911992.0

Seems to be slots left for Senior/Hero but filling fast.

No. It's not going to happen. Impossible to do and many users have alt accounts for valid reasons. It would be unfair to punish everyone and too time consuming to even start policing.

That's irrelevant to anything I said. Accounts can be recovered regardless of how safe you think you're making them.

No I don't have it wrong, you do. You claimed there's no chance of fraud because you give them the email and that is wrong and also gives them a false sense of security. Regardless of them changing all the details an account can still be recovered by signing an address associated to that account even after all those things have been changed, so there is still a chance of fraud on your part or even potentially the escrow used.

Log-on time has nothing to do with activity. And you have to be actively browsing for the time to go up. For activity, simply put you get 14 points every two week period. You need to make at least one post in every period to collect those points. Next period starts on Tuesday and you can get another 14 points then.

They have the funds, just really not for to 'promote forum activity' in such a way. I guess maybe some yearly competitions could be fun though this forum doesn't really seem the type to dish out money via such giveaways. I think if it was to happen it would have to be for something that couldn't be exploited and mere votes/voting could unfortunately.

Bitstars is active again. Fixed rate deal: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=911992.0

Edit: already full:

Yeah, that's not going to happen for the reasons already stated above. However, someone is free to create their own unofficial popularity contest with a reward if they so wish.

Because we don't make shitposts and Stunna wanted to close it whilst he came up with a way to control the spam it was unfortunately causing. He seems to have come up with some solutions and the campaign will be resuming for everyone shortly but with stricter restrictions and controls on participants.

He's probably just speaking in general terms and being presumptuous and doesn't know of any of his alts but just saying to keep an eye out for them. I don't think he'll be rushing to start a new escrow any time soon anyway and he'd be better just waiting a while and trying again on his current account if he was going to do so.

That doesn't secure them very much. In fact, it could make them less secure if they don't change the email (you could gain access to the original email via secret questions or whatnot). Accounts here can still be recovered by the admins etc as well.
