What's the difference between those coins? Does it have the same prices? Though I only hear about bitcoin a lot. What's altcoin, litcoin and dogecoin got to do?
They are different currencies. They have a different supply/demand and trade volume, that's why the price is different. It's similar to why US dollar is worth more than Congo dollar ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) If you are creating a currency, at some point you have to choose how many units you will produce. Will there be 1000 coins? 100.000 coins? Will you keep creating coins forever? This is the coin limit. Bitcoin has a maximum of 21 million coins. Litecoin has a maximum of 84 million. Every coin has its coin limit. You are almost right. But every coin doesn't have coinlimit. Its the founders choice whether the coin should has coinlimit or not. But ofcourse, the reward for blocks gets diminished over time. Coins without coinlimit are PPCoin and its offspring NovaCoin. I don't know whether any new coin is introduced without coinlimit. ~~MZ~~

I also noticed a lag when bitcoind runs on my desktop. It's mostly IO related, and it is noticeable when opening new programs etc. Sometimes the whole computer freezes for a while. It's an older i5, 4 cores@3.6GHz, with 8GB ddr3 ram. Bitcoind eats about 1GB of memory, which doesn't seem to be that much. I am on linux, btw. But of course, this is all just a very subjective impression - no idea how to measure it. I have the impression bitcoind is quite "bursty" in its disk access, regularly going over 60% in iotop. I've been noticing (and complaining about) this since a while, but maybe I should sit down and try to quantify this one of these days. No idea though how to do that, suggestions appreciated. Do your motherboard support ddr3? It may work but just check it whether it works completely. My graphics card is ddr3 and my ram is ddr2 and there is some problem due to that. So just check it. ~~MZ~~

I agree it shouldn't be needed, but if you're worried about being spammed or whatnot you should use a new email address just used for this forum. Adds an extra layer of security for you as well.
I already have a few email address. In that I only use 2 of them now. So I use one of that email here. If there is something important from the forum, I can see it easily. Using a email which I am not using often would be a bad idea for me. IMO, this option should be removed unless it is important but I couldn't find atleast one reason for this. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) @theymos/BadBear : Please remove it or atleast tell us why it is needed. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Thanks! ~~MZ~~

No it's not. You can't stop people selling accounts just as you can't stop people from scamming. It's also already easy to retrieve accounts and there's nothing to stop people from selling an account and then trying to get it back as we can see from this exact thread.
Why hasn't it retrieved yet in this case, then? If you ban this and strictly return accounts once they are proven selling will mostly stop. You're providing protection to the buyer which makes it possible in the first place. It wont stop just because you say it will. Theymos probably has better things to do than deal with the fuss of returning accounts and can be quite lax on returning them, not to mention this situation isn't as easy as giving the original owner their account back because it looks like it quite possibly shouldn't be returned to him. Whether account selling is or isn't allowed it won't stop and situations like this will always happen. 2-factor is desperately needed though and hopefully that will cut most hackings down when it arrives with the new forum. If account trading was banned the situation would have been easy. You see the difference? If a buyer knew that the seller can easily get it back, the market will reduce. That will decrease hacking too. You are going about handling the problem the wrong way. Buyers should already be aware that accounts can be retrieved and if they're not then it's their own problem. I'm not going about it the wrong way, I'm going by about how the policy is here. If you want to change the forum's policy on account selling start a thread or petition theymos about it and make your case, but it's been attempted many times before and theymos and the other staff have given roughly the same answers as I'm giving you now. It may seem easier to implement such a thing like banning account trading but it isn't. There are many problems behind it. And if the trading was done in a secret way, how can theymos know the account has been traded? Looking the way he/she writes? It isn't a good proof although we can tell the account has been traded. Every buyer knows it can be retrieved. But theymos mostly avoid retrieval of account which has been traded. ~~MZ~~

How much do you need and what Collateral can you provide?
Any amount between 0.03-0.05 BTC. I can provide 741 SJCX worth 0.02180022 BTC. Is it okay? How many BTC can you give with this as collateral? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Thanks! ~~MZ~~

You're providing protection to the buyer which makes it possible in the first place. Even if a post of selling/buying account isn't there, that doesn't mean buying and selling isn't done, they can always contact through PM or any other forum or any Social Messenger. Account trading should be banned. If I see a Hero or Legendary member posting I assume it has some weight. It won't be if I am thinking this may have been some scammer buying accounts.
Banning of account trading is futile. A script for that can't be made, I can assure you. Only way to do that, is making Geo-locking, i.e, preventing a user from entering the account from another place other than place from where he registered. Making that option is definitely a huge disadvantage. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) No it's not.

Both theymos and BadBear haven't got enough proof retrieval of the account. theymos has already told that he wouldn't respond to any of the PM from the person who fails to provide the proof in the first PM. So I think, theymos is avoiding bayuo's PMs as he couldn't give the proof. AND, how is hilariousandco protecting the buyer? He is telling it is easy to retrieve accounts, that means seller has more advantage AND you're telling ' providing protection to the buyer'? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . I believe you understand why this Buy/Sell account can't be banned. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ~~MZ~~

Hello all ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Just wandering how is the trust list made? Is it updated somehow and someone adding new people on that trust list or it is made from the beginning of the forum existence? Is there a way to get to the trust network? Thanks! BR Gondel Users in level 1 are added by user 'DefaultTrust', users in level 2 are added by users in level 1 and users level 3 are added by users in level 2. If you want to be in the default trust list, you will have to be added by users in level 1 or 2 or by 'DefaultTrust' himself and that is Admin(Don't know whether BadBear is handling the account). Users in level 3 isn't considered as trustworthy as others and most of them put the level deep to 2. If anybody put useless trust, then theymos will remove him/her. From what I heard, theymos is checking the list and making it upto date, i.e, adding users or removing users. ~~MZ~~

My main account: Krasiu. I know the email that is connected to this account (I have PM notifications from noreply@bitcointalk.org in my inbox), yet when I try to reset the PW it says that username has not been found.I think the account is banned because the username can't or did you use same email address for both account? It might lead to a problem. Do not create your temporary account using the same email address you want for the hacked/lost account. No two accounts can have the same email address.
P.S. Have you got your account back? Or is it stolen? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FZVs488M.jpg&t=663&c=xZXOxV1RYoTHtQ) ~~MZ~~

They were created by Satoshi. They can be considered public domain as far as I'm concerned.
Ok, I will use them, if Satoshi has a problem I will remove them right away! According to Theymos, the coins can be used by anybody. Why don't you make a new one? Change the colour and all or even the coin and make a new one. You can do it using the current coin or by making new ones. Anyway, Good Luck for the coins and the forum. It is really hard to make an active forum unless there is no forum like that. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) ~~MZ~~

i meant why dont they make it 7 for 14 days for newbies 14 for 14 days for jr. members 28 for 14 days for members 14 for 14 days for full members 7 for 14 days for sr.members
like this? or something similar
Why should members get 4 times the activity every 14 days then sr members? How is that fair. I think he wants to make a Member account reach Full Member much faster or say rapid. IMO: The current activity system is fair and better. There is a post limit for new users but its good thing. If the activity is different for different users, all most, all of them will start strike here. After the introduction of signature campaigns, there was a rapid increase in posts especially spam. So the current system will reduce it atleast by a small amount. It may seem very hard to get to another level, but just be patient. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Everybody has went through this, nobody reached FM+ level in a few days. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) ~~MZ~~

Just letting everyone know that I am requesting a refund from Quickseller as he has breached the conditions of the sale. It will be up to him with what he does with the account. I don't care who is lying, I just want my money back.
I'll keep everyone updated.
Thanks for the info. Can I ask you something? Did you buy this account? I think you bought the account with 1.1 BTC, he told you are a hacker and he want's the account. Now you are asking 1.1 BTC back and you will give his account back. This is what happening here? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) I am confused. ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) Or what I said above was totally bullshit? ~~MZ~~

Then I guess because I wasen't really active on the first months , wasen't posting ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) You are right! You weren't posting for about 38 days. That's why your activity is 56 now. If I am right : if you were posting atleast 14 posts per 2 weeks period, then you will get approximately 210 Activity. If you keep doing it, then you will become Sr. Member in a few weeks. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Bad luck, I think. ~~MZ~~

What is the need of revealing email addresses to mod? Is it to report any person who is reporting many useful posts which aren't needed to be deleted? If it is, they just want to reveal the username, right? There are mods now who aren't even reached Sr. Member level(no offence). I am not telling they aren't trustworthy but there is chance for spamming inbox. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ~~MZ~~

It is great. It is better than using Greasemonkey and also in mobiles and all, it will help very much. If you really think rogue scripts are really an issue the setting could be put in an hidden place, only js files from github/pastebin/etc could be used, js files must be pre-approved, etc.
Yeah! Something like that should be included. Do it need a separate staffs(new) who are trustworthy and have skill in languages atleast Java? It would be great than Mod/Admin approval. OR they can make 2 approvals, after staffs(new) approve the script, they can submit an approval ticket(or something like that) to Admins and then Admin can approve the script. I think the 2nd option would be more secure but only if Admins are less busy. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) ~~MZ~~

Guys I have a question. What if someone has an account which is made in 2012 and its activity and posts are 50. Will it gain 20 activity if he writes 20 posts in a day, or just 14?
Nope, he will not get 20 Activity even if he post 20 posts. He will only get 14 Activity in 2 week period like everybody. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ~~MZ~~
