Holy hell, I didn't even know those articles yet. Thanks. You fight fire with fire. Hype with hype. For Bitcoin is built on little else. One of Dogecoin's 2 creators works at Adobe in marketing. Get something for nothing. This is the world we live in. It's literally a fad, and it's working. If Dogecoin ever reaches a billion in market cap, I will sacrifice a puppy and stuff it in the block chain. Just kidding, I would never hurt a fly.Didn't know any of this!!! Thanks oda.krell and Blitz... Adobe eh?  [Note to self: add Blitz and macsga to list of people who don't read linked articles before commenting on them.] Sorry guys  I just read them and was thinking the same thing. lol |

We need a big fat steaming triple coiler of a dump so we can all buy thousands of Bitcoins real quick. Then an immediate jump up of 1000%. That would be a merry Xmas.

That's a good idea though. If only hero members could start topics then there wouldn't be so many useless "why are there only 21m Bitcoin" topics.
Some of the best threads aren't started by Hero Members, though. Also, I'm not sure people mind repeating themselves or posting links to the wiki. I vote for a rule that takes off points for every necro bump. The older, the more points disappear.
While this is not a horrible idea, lazlo's pizza transaction was all but forgotten till lulzplzkthx necro'd it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.msg93554#msg93554I would agree that generally a necro is a bad idea, though. I understand that many good ideas are presented by newbies but limiting their posts would require more research on their part before asking a well known topic again. Maybe not hero member for topic start, possibly full member first. Disallowing a necro bump is about as ridiculous as forbidding history books in schools. We all learn from history. Necro bumping is putting forward a bit of history for all to view. |

Obviously any trust built up during the life of one account will not transfer to another person because it would be common knowledge that the account is in different hands. Thank you for the offer! If the offer was serious that means accounts do have value for trade. Regrettably, I will have to decline. Many people who have joined the forum in the past few months are unaware and learning every day that trading accounts is not disallowed and that it sporadically occurs, so some may easily fall for a scam perpetrated with your account. I wouldn't mind spending 0.01 BTC to prevent that (but not more than that), and maybe as an experiment post for a while with it to see how many people would be aware of the sale of your account. It won't be common knowledge to all, only those in the know. Maybe a scam or potential scam perpetrated by a respected member is what is needed to show how dangerous selling accounts is. And what's to stop a member scamming with their account then claiming innocence because they claimed they sold it? We’re meant to be able to trust respected members who have built up feedback through trades etc, but to me, this trust is kind of worthless when people can just claim they've sold their account. Even involving a third party escrow service in deals now seems like just one other person involved that could scam you. You want to know a few very trusted and well established hero members that have scammed in this community? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=35827https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3046https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=67058https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24749https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2033https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=38455https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=16160One of these scammers was a moderator for a long time, one was a worldwide spokesman for Bitcoin and another one was on the default trust list and had control over forum funds. I was caught by a couple of these scammers because I "trusted" their reputation in the community. Selling or buying an account is meaningless because you never really know the character of the person you're dealing with. The ONLY rule of thumb you can follow and be safe is "trust no one". |

I'm not clear what statement your making with a dogs butthole. You need to provide a little context to troll properly. Can you not see Jesus? I can now. LOL It's a Christmas miracle! Funny that god spelled backwards is dog. |

Can everyone call truce for a few hours? Just freeze all activity, dead stop so I can look at the guests that are visiting and show them a map to the airport.
Is your bot broken? |

Except in Goat's case we all know that he made his money with investments. BTW: He was one of the few passthroughs of the thief Pirate that actually made it right with the community. I think the point is that if you use your brain, a little skill, and some luck you can also buy in to Bitcoin and make a fortune with it. You must be willing to apply yourself (start a business, invest, etc.).
I'm not attacking Goat's persona nor his past actions regarding bitcoin. So no need to defend him against that. I was just pointing out that maybe more subtlety should be considered if one doesn't like the pyramid scheme reputation that bitcoin has. You don't get it. Ostentatious displays of wealth are common marketing techniques. That has nothing to do with the design of the business. So is Chanel a pyramid? Technically everything in society is a pyramid. It's not really a problem if you're relatively close to the top though  You know what he's talking about. A pyramid scheme. |

Congratulations on your car, but threads like this insinuate the pyramid scheme reputation that bitcoin has  "Look, I have a Lambo! Buy in and you can also someday own a Lambo!". Most of the pyramid scheme resembling businesses operate like this, with early adopters talking about their cars and villas during presentations. So, enjoying your bitcoin wealth with a little subtlety wouldn't hurt Except in Goat's case we all know that he made his money with investments.

Fascinating. Your experimenting as much as I am. It may shock you to know that I don't agree with shill accounts. I actually agreed with Matthew's stance on that issue although I believe it cannot really be policed. I think the ASIC manufacturers have way too many of them. I was in the middle of an argument between Josh and Garr about a preorder and watched more shill accounts pop up during the argument than I could actually believe exists. This is an experiment for me. I am more interested in the interest in this action and the exercise than the money. I chose to only accept offers via PM for a reason. PM provides the opportunity to hide the transaction and transfer the account without general knowledge. Is this a plus? Will the potential buyer know that theymos and sirius can view PMs at will? I don't know. You are assuming that there is a price at which I would allow inappropriate action using this account. That may not be true. |
