Oh, isn't it the Madrid derby this weekend? Barca are playing Athletic Bilbao. I'd still pick a draw for both games though.

It'll take you about 8 months. If you start an account now you'll be a Snr on the 28th of April (providing you make at least one post every fortnight).

The faucet is just meant to be a bit of fun, but obviously people get arsey when there's money involved. I doubt Stunna will or want to get rid of it completely as it's a great draw to the site and hooks people in to likely gambling with their own money. He's going to have to come up with a compromise though because he can't let it keep haemorrhaging money the way it is, but there's no way he's going to be able to keep everyone happy so I'd just try to look at it from his point of view and try understand why changes have to be made.

Depends what country you're in. Googling 'how to register a charity' would be a good start. I'd also look into using a payment processor so that any money sent to you gets automatically transferred to fiat and passed on to the charity so there's no middleman then and people will not be suspicious of you trying to scam them.
8365  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Looking for advice on: September 12, 2014, 08:00:30 AM
Buy low sell high. If you want my advice: don't do it. Trading isn't as easy as it seems and you'll very likely lose money. It's definitely not a get rich quick scheme if that's what you're hoping it to be. A better option IMO would be just to buy bitcoin and hold it for a while. I'm sure it'll double in value again eventually.

He died in the World Trade Center?

Yes, along with Biggie and 2pac.

You mean ludacris the rapper, who cares?  Huh
i'm
he is really good

He WAS really good

Agreed. I used to like him on his first few albums. He can be pretty funny/witty and his guest verses were always the highlight of the song he was on, but he's never realised his potential IMO. Stuff he releases now is largely trash.
8367  Other / Off-topic / Re: El Clasico on: September 12, 2014, 07:53:43 AM
Where's the draw option? It's going to be a close game I reckon so this is a more probable result and the one I'd bet on.
8368  Other / Off-topic / Re: Looking to start a donation project for Pakistan on: September 12, 2014, 07:51:03 AM
Yeah, you should start by getting yourself registered with a proper charity number, otherwise just asking for donations on here is going to make you look like a scammer. If you're serious about this do it the proper way.
8369  Other / Meta / Re: Getting bombarded with negative trust from new accounts? on: September 11, 2014, 05:23:48 PM
Trust system isn't moderated except in rare circumstances when negative feedback has been spammed, so the only way to remove it is to get the person the person who left it to do so. Nobody is going to take the feedback they left seriously though as they're marked as untrustworthy and you can see they left it for no good reason via the link so I just wouldn't let it bother you as annoying as it may be.

It's just free advertising spam, and you're giving it even more now lol. It's nothing to worry about just ignore it.

It's not exactly free, is it now?

It usually is because they tend to send dust with no fee so it never actually confirms.
Their transactions are confirming. They are sending multiple transactions and they all seem to be confirming. Many of the addresses have not even been used before, but when you do a search of the address in google you will find a bitcointalk.org result of someone posting their address.

Yeah, maybe they have a bot crawling and collecting them from here. I got 0.00001 a couple of days ago then 0.001 today. Thanks, I guess  Cheesy. Saw some of the other mods have them as well.

Are you being serious? Signing up everyday isn't going to get you a spot. You need to check the enrolment post to see if there's free spaces. Plus, you're signing up with the wrong post count. I'm starting to think you're a bot as well since all your posts are pretty much just copying and pasting news articles.
8372  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: BITCOIN FOG- **HELP!** Changed PW, now can't get in! on: September 10, 2014, 03:35:54 PM
Hi there- SORRY about the delayed response...I feel badly because 'you guys' have been so quick to offer assistance, but everytime I attempted to log in to this forum over the past few days, it'd say "error, try again in 45sec."

You need to make sure you wait the full 45 seconds before you try log in again.

Stolen Sad. I am sending another message to theymos, maybe he'll be able to help.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0

Make sure you include all the information from the above thread otherwise it'll likely be ignored.

Don't post in a self-moderated thread then, especially if it's going to annoy you so much when they do in fact moderate it as rpietila notoriously likes to do.
8375  Other / Meta / Re: Heyyyy! Why? on: September 10, 2014, 01:52:14 PM
It hasn't gone it just doesn't show up publicly in certain sections. DannyHamilton gave you the negative and you can see it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=371125
8376  Other / Meta / Re: Who do I speak to regarding a hacked account? on: September 10, 2014, 01:43:54 PM
Selected staff I believe. Keep an eye on the New Forum Software sub for more updates when/if forum regulars can test it.
8377  Other / Meta / Re: Why 'email address' revealed to Mods when reporting? on: September 10, 2014, 01:34:35 PM
Only certain mods can see it - I can't for instance - but I agree that if it doesn't need to be there then it should be removed.
8378  Other / Meta / Re: Who do I speak to regarding a hacked account? on: September 10, 2014, 01:09:10 PM
No official date yet but early next year it'll go live. It's going to be beta tested fairly soon from what I gather.
8379  Other / Meta / Re: Account Hacked Help Plz! on: September 10, 2014, 12:51:24 PM
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.
