Sometimes forum ranks/positions can send out very conflicting messages. Someone like TradeFortress can be a VIP (Very Important Person) member and a "Hero" member which indicates that they are highly respected and that their contributions are valued by the community and staff. But they can also be banned, labeled with "scammer" tags, or have "Trade with extreme caution!" attached to their profile.

Coinchat is dead.
The wallet client it used was hacked, the site was then given to a new admin who did not respect the users oppions and as such lost a huge part of its userbase.
It now is based around Doge coin but gives out about 2-7 doge at a time.

Umm... Where are you getting this information from? I would still be interested if it were based around Dogecoin since I own a few doges myself but the domain Coinchat.org doesn't seem to resolve to any particular website. Sad

Legitimate business requires hard work and commitment.

Scamming, not so much.

The income for both examples from the OP would have been passive income had the scammer stayed legitimate. It would have been "greedier" to continue the business rather than shutting it down because the scammer would make more money that way with relatively little effort. Compared to physical businesses like hair salons or bakeries, operating an exchange doesn't require a lot of hard work once all the infrastructure is set up. Developing an altcoin doesn't require a lot of hard work either once the coin has been coded and launched. Writing software is a lot like writing a book. You put ninety percent of the effort into the development phase. Once that is over, you enter the stress-free maintenance phase.

Errr wow, I can confirm that!

Yup, same here. Seems to be a recent thing too. I had "www.localbitcoins.com" as one of my browser bookmarks and I remember it simply redirected to the "www"-less version.

I thought BTC-e was a trustworthy exchange? I've heard good reviews about them. The site owners prefer to stay anonymous, don't they?

Guys,

  I need a very skilled and TRUSTworthy individual to write some code for me.  This person must be willing to sign a NDA, and have experience in launching new coins.  Interested parties please hit me up.  Thank you.

What is the programming language? I have some experience in Java and Python, if that helps.

Do yourself a favor and try not to waste much time though, as it is just another form of dust collecting. To much time/effort for low payments. You may also want to try www.captchacoin.com as they pay 200ubtc per 20 correct captchas, which is less time consuming than most places with a higher payout. Be weary, as the captchas are very case sensative. V's are hard to distinguish between v's.

The "Get Captcha" button isn't working for this site. I tried clicking it but nothing happens. Tried six hours later and still nothing. Sad

EDIT: It seems that other people are having similar problems with this site:

10,000 satoshis would be useful for paying fees I guess.

How will you send 0.0001 if thats how much the fee costs?! Im confused...

Perhaps he could send it to multiple addresses as a single transaction and only pay a single fee. Or he could spend 0.0002 BTC - i.e. half for the payment and the other half as a fee.
749  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where can i see all those old 4chan bitcoin threads! on: June 28, 2014, 04:44:14 PM
4chan threads are temporary. They usually disappear after a couple of minutes/hours.

You could try a 4chan archive and do a search for "bitcoin". But 99 percent of threads aren't archived and are gone forever.

HH = Happy hour. Usually this is when Stunna increases the faucet payouts to something like 10k or 20k satoshis. Normally it's 250 satoshis.
751  Economy / Speculation / Odd years (2009, 2011, 2013) = Good & Even years (2010, 2012, 2014) = Bad? on: June 28, 2014, 03:30:04 PM
If you look at the charts, it seems that odd years have generally been good for Bitcoin both price-wise and adoption-wise, and even years have been rather boring and uneventful.

2009 = Satoshi releases Bitcoin. First bitcoiners.

2010 = Not much happened in this year.

2011 = Bitcoin becomes known to the outside world. Beginning of mainstream adoption. Dollar parity followed by first rise to $30. More bitcoiners.

2012 = Not much happened in this year again.

2013 = Interest in Bitcoin surges. Price rises from $13 to $265 in April then almost $1,300 in November. Way, way, way more bitcoiners.

2014 = Not much seems to happening in this year again. Price hasn't budged all that much. Interest is down from late 2013 levels.

So it follows that 2014 will probably be a rather disappointing year for Bitcoin (and indeed that has been the case). But 2015 should be an exciting year and we will see more interest and mainstream adoption happening in that year.

Is this the same guy who made freebitco.in or a copycat?
They've copied the script and all, so it shouldn't be to hard to make the same script someone did for freebit

If the OP is talking about Freedoge.co.in and not Freedogeco.in then it's the same guy I believe. His name is wetsuit and he posts here on the forums.

Freedoge.co.in thread: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=638241.0

Hello all
I am the operator of FreeBitco.in and I have made http://FreeDoge.co.in which is a Dogecoin faucet with a gambling component, where you can win upto $200 in free dogecoins every hour and then play a HI-LO game with your won DOGE to win upto 100x.

The minimum payout is only 5 DOGE and you can request it any time and the coins will be sent to your wallet within 24 hours.

I would appreciate any suggestions or feedback that you may have.

Thanks!

I think you need 120 activity to be a full member. Your activity is 84 now and goes up by 14 every two weeks so it should take you about four to six weeks?
754  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Just-Dice.com : Invest in 1% House Edge Dice Game on: June 28, 2014, 12:52:13 PM
I paid close to 20% commission.

This is because I paid commission on earnings which then disappeared during a whale run. (and I significantly reduced my investment - so it would take a while to come back)

Look at these 24 bets. They are all characterized by someone betting a large amount of coin, at a probability of player winning of 73%-98%, and then losing it all. More than likely these are not the first bet tried at these odds, as a little success here can make you feel like you are printing money with the touch of a mouse click. The potential profit is the profit they would have earned had they won. The sum of these bets accounts for 78% of the casino win for the year.

   Bet/Loss      Prob Win      Pot Profit   
   7,016      96.20%      204.22   
   512      74.33%      169.93   
   512      76.33%      152.06   
   550      78.50%      143.63

   320      79.50%      78.49   
   219      75.00%      70.00   
   252      78.50%      65.75   
   640      90.00%      64.00   
   230      79.50%      56.48   
   400      88.00%      50.00   
   416      90.00%      41.62   
   395      90.50%      37.10   
   222      86.00%      33.61   
   300      90.00%      30.00   
   300      90.00%      30.00   
   235      90.00%      23.50   
   250      95.00%      10.53   
   210      98.00%      2.14   
                  
   14,880      87.66%      1,836.47   
                     

A total of almost 4 million bitcoins wagered at the beginning of the year produced no profit. All profit of 19000 BTC came from the 1.3 million bitcoins wagered in the latter part of the year.

It is easy to make adjustments after the fact, but I think with a MaxProfit/bet of closer to 100 BTC, and a bankroll of around 20K the site would have made about the same amount of profit. Happier investors because they get a much higher return, and a much less frightening ride.



Someone actually lost a 98% bet? And 7k BTC on a 96% bet? That's crazy. Seems so unlikely that it would fail.

756  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which Bitcoin Client do you use and why ? on: June 27, 2014, 10:27:13 AM
blockchain is the best bitcoin client because i think it is most secure...

It's the most secure online wallet because everything is client-side and your private keys still belong to you, but I would think that there are more secure (offline) options out there.
757  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: what should I do with 0.20247 bitcoins? on: June 27, 2014, 08:28:54 AM
I bought some 10.4 bitcoins for 495USD a few days ago. I am saving(!) most of it for my family members. the 0.20247 are the "left over" in my wallet, and I want to do something with them - to learn and gain experience.
If you purchased 10.4 bitcoins for $495USD please for the love of god hook me up with this person!!!  You can have my first born!

Hmm... Either he bought 10.4 bitcoins for $495 in total or he bought 10.4 bitcoins for $495 each. The former seems unlikely because that price would be too cheap. But the latter also seems unlikely (although not the same extent) because it would mean that he spent over $5,000.
758  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which betting site is good for investing? on: June 26, 2014, 11:30:43 PM
they can bankrupt too (in example justdice case) if someone trick them or someone iis very lucky to defeat house many times

What? Did justdice bankrupt? I thought they suspend temporarily the site because of the Canadian law.
I guess I should take a few seconds out from trying to get the withdrawals working as smoothly as possible to confirm that we are suspending betting and deposits until it becomes clearer what the new Canadian law means for us.

Or is it another story?

He's probably thinking of the nakowa incident:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1mwd98/a_whale_has_pushed_justdicecom_into_negative/

Basically a whale came in and had a big winning streak. This ended up wiping out a big chunk of the site's bankroll (investors' funds) and making the site unprofitable for those who had invested.

Hi,
Try the one I have in my signature : Primedice
I have been playing in this site since the very beginning when it opened and I had a lot of fun at my work Smiley
Of course at the end I end up loosing everything, but this is the live of a gambling man. The sure thing is that the site is very stable and I would invest in it if i had money for this. Good luck!

Gondel

Primedice only lets you gamble, not invest in the bankroll.

760  Economy / Speculation / Re: A Single Bitcoin will Worth $100K - Do You Believe it? on: June 26, 2014, 12:33:23 PM
Venture capitalist Chris Dixon at Andressen Horowitz predicted that a single bitcoin will worth $100k+ in the future. I'm optimist but I think that's is way too much!

Read Full Article: Bitcoin Worth Prediction

I think the general rule is that if Bitcoin reaches the same status/market cap as that of gold, then each coin would be worth roughly $333,000 in today's fiat terms. If Bitcoin manages to replace fiat completely, then each coin would be worth about $1 million.

$100,000 per bitcoin would indicate a market cap of $2.1 trillion.
