721  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: New to forum, love bitcoins, want to start webhosting with bitcoins on: March 08, 2013, 03:19:14 PM
Hello to everyone here.  Thanks for all the information you guys have given me too.

I love bitcoins, because by their nature, they allow for perfect unhindered, anonymous, free and instant trade.  Hell you could build a civilization off of bitcoins, because they facilitate trade.

I have two VPS's that I use to host my own websites, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a basic inexpensive hosting service or if you guys think It'd take off and be successful?

I am shooting for:
* Anonymous and quick sign-up where we take your email and name, and if you want extra optional security a mobile cell phone number.
Then you pay with bitcoins, it's confirmed and you're done son.  No stupid paypal billing agreements, nothing.  Just sign up and you get what you're promised for that period.

*Basic hosting, mysql backup, site backup, etc.

Right now I use Zpanel, but do you guys think It would be worth it to pay for cPAnel/WHMCS for autosignup and bitpay module?

Also, do you guys think I'd get business?  Where should I advertise?  Anything else you'd like to seee?

thanks! Grin

I'm not reading too carefully where you are hosted, but expect that people that use your services will use it for illegal stuff and spam. As long as you're hosted somewhere that doesn't matter, you should be fine.

Read low end box for horrors of accepting bitcoin and hosting in some place like the USA.

You are 100% right. Bloating this thread, while the scammer chooses to say as little as possible, may confuse those who don't read the full thread, therefore leading them to believe in this scam.

What you propose would be perfect, but impractical. I guess we have no other choice than to repeat every damn page: this is a proved SCAM

Maybe with some large font font and the reasons like:

---WARNING---
PRIMEASIC IS A SCAM


1  PrimeAsic said it is part of another company, EDI GREEN, but that is not true.
2  Company impersonates another company, HRP.HU.
3  Fake office address -- no one at claimed addresses knows who you are.
4  Telephone is not answered, may be non existent.
5  When asked to attach more devices to their PrimeAsic mining at oz pool, no response, while it was the easiest way to proof you are real. Why did you not comply?

Those reasons are just the start. Edit your posts on previous pages with something like that so it's easily found.
723  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: PrimeAsic - 80 Ghash/sec Asic Miner on: March 07, 2013, 09:55:56 PM
PrimeAsic can you reply to the following:

Primeasic: Please don't forget to answer the above points verified by many members of this forum.



You guys are really holding your breath for him to answer these? Come on...

No. We are just repeating ourselves. Trying to talk some sense into the ones thinking to order one of these.

Then how about every damn person in this thread delete all of their posts, except the first couple of people who edit theirs and call it a scam and we update the bottom and call it a scam and not ask for paypal addresses and say I'm going over there in the morning.

First several pages of this thread sure give it a lot of credibility. Toss in some pages with pretty pictures. Why not order? If you don't hurry and get one, you won't win.

They are processing withdrawals but not accepting deposits?

It would be nice to hear something official from them.

One deal chronicled on the bitcoin data site BlockChain involved a transfer worth nearly $80,000. The processing fee was 1.8 cents. Beat that, Western Union.

Game. set. match.

To the (often uninformed) people say Bitcoin has no "intrinsic value" ... what would you value an open transparent network with barriers or restrictions that allows anyone to send $80,000 anywhere in the world for less than 2 cents?  $100M?  $1B? $10B?  The network IS the "intrinsic value".

But we have a bunch of people that don't want to change the maximum block size, so one day it will be similar to a wire transfer free. Currently 2 cents, in the future? Maybe not. Contact your local Bitcoin Foundation representative today.

730  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Flaw in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies? on: March 06, 2013, 05:42:56 PM
It takes someone selling 311k coins to crash the price to $1

Someone with just 311k+ coins could simply make the price go to 0.

Maybe I went to a terrible University but my understanding is that 1 > 0. If, however, this is wrong, please let me know. No wonder I have bugs pop up in my code if this is incorrect.

Not to argue with the rest of the idiocracy, but just that specifically.

Notice the +... That means slightly over in most circles.

What is your margin for slightly over? If you double that number you won't be able to bring the price to 0. But maybe double does mean slightly. You'll have to confirm that as well.

I think it means, you as a merchant, can sell your stuff through amazon (look up FBA with them) and then with the wordpress plugin you can take payment directly with bitcoin then have them ship your merchandise. It looks to me like you can only ship what you own in an Amazon warehouse. Can this be confirmed?

Error level analysis seems to show that the pink basket on the left is from outer space and powering the entire rig without traditional electricity.

My suspicion is that MPEX is down so people don't pull money to cash out on the price hike.

Maybe mpex can ask bitcointalk forum how to run a forum with thousands of database queries and thousands of users and make it so it doesn't go down.

I think that theymos and the rest need to be added to the pending scammer list. I think I might put a poll about this and see how others feel.

lol... okay... and I'm sure we would all appreciate it if theymos would just leave and take his forum with him...

Are community council members treasurers?

Not necessarily.

Quote
The agreement is without law? Without law or force? So if a treasurer takes the money... we will ask them nicely to do the right thing?

If a treasurer breaks the agreement, no one will trust him again because it will be absolutely clear that he broke the agreement. This is a pretty high cost. The purpose of the agreement is to make it clear to everyone what the treasurer is obligated to do so that everyone in the community will know without a doubt that the treasurer can no longer be trusted if the contract is broken.

Laws = violence. I'm uneasy about using violence in response to a non-violent breach of contract. I also want to avoid relying on or dealing with governments.

I thought about including a paragraph saying that the treasurer will be "outlawed" if he breaks the contract, and everyone with similar non-legal contracts would be able to ignore their own obligations to the treasurer in question. But maybe this is taking things too far.

I understand what you are trying to accomplish. But really, the agreement would be, you take the funds, you're banned. Maybe that should be part of the agreement. Stripped of any forum title and one that says stole forum funds added.

Is it not a possibility to have funds stored at a specific address so that community members could verify the balances?

Maybe have them show an address where their fees could be sent to so that we could confirm payment of any storage fees?

The only thing that people miss mentioning when they recommend using blockchain.info is to download their private keys and keep them encrypted and safe.

If blockchain.info disappeared, they wouldn't have your money, but if you didn't save your wallet, your coins would essentially be lost. So yes, the online wallet recomendation is blockchain.info, but make sure and back up your wallet offline!

Check again . . .

Blockchain is the only way to go.
+1

https://blockchain.info/wallet is the only one I use and the only one I trust, because it is the only one I know of where you retain control of your private keys.

Make sure you get a wallet backup file from them anytime you create a new address.  That way if they ever disappear for any reason, you can still access your bitcoins.

I knew that. Just checking to see if YOU knew that. lol

Anyway, that part is bolded now Cheesy
739  Economy / Services / Re: Looking for people to store some of the forum's money on: March 05, 2013, 05:45:06 PM
Here's the first draft of the treasurer contract that I came up with. I'm trying to make a contract without using laws. Therefore, "The Forum" can't exist as a corporate entity and its existence needs to be defined in the contract. We'll see if this sort of structure ends up working well. If it does, maybe other Bitcoin organizations can use it as a model.

What defects does this agreement have?

This includes a list of "community council" members, but note that I didn't actually ask these people if they want to be members yet. I'll do that before this contract is actually used.

Are community council members treasurers?

The agreement is without law? Without law or force? So if a treasurer takes the money... we will ask them nicely to do the right thing?

If this is where you are going with the agreement, just send it out as you wish. If there are no legal responsibilities on either side, why an "agreement" Just tell them what rules they can abide by if they wish, and if they don't want to it's cool.

Sounds a little silly to me.
