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.

Well he may or may not have done the right thing in that situation but I guess we'll never know now. Luckily for everyone involved really. Regardless, redsnow's rep is somewhat tarnished and your feedback can stay if you so wish it to be. That's your call.

But we don't know how redsnow would've acted because of that. He may or may not have returned the funds out of his own pocket. Had he done the same as segvec then yes negative feedback would be justified. It's arguable as to whether his reputation is unscathed. He has a trusted neutral warning and a red from Eal and you and many people will now not trust him, but most of all he's stopped offering the service which was the right thing to do.

Because redsnow apparently posted proof that included the email from the looks of it. If this wasn't the case and it was just down to forgetting to remove the email suspicion should be cast on the original creator of it.

Who's a global mod? And I assumed the email here was random, but because of that randomness someone exploited it and created it themselves to reset the password (unless I'm mistaken. This is the problem with using fake/made-up but easily created email addresses). 

It's comparable and you can draw comparisons but it's a different case. Also, segvec is probably lying though he should've paid back for his error either way and so should redsnow had it come to that. Luckily this situation got sorted so no one was out of pocket but it could've been worse and redsnow was lucky in that respect and has gotton off lightly and relatively unscathed.
