lol creative little program, although I'm not particularly in favor of something like this.

Has anyone checked the source code, or ran this program in a virtual machine to test it yet?

This thread is more fitting on LBC. Basically you released your coins from escrow, so there is nothing you can do. Best case scenario, you contact support and get both accounts banned. However, you're still out $200 worth of btc or moneypack. That's actually a relatively cheap lesson, considering how much scams go on over there.

You will have to wait few years until price is stable and merchants starts treating it as they do it to fiat.

Well you also have to wait until more stores around the area accepts bitcoin. Otherwise, the ONE store that accepts btc basically has a monopoly and can charge whatever premium he wants in btc.

I have no issue with users earning different amounts based on their ranking. A full member account is able to display a bigger signature then a member. A senior account has the same feature then a full member account. A hero account is able to display background colors while a senior account cannot. A legendary member's post is generally looked at more closely then a hero member's posts.
...
Someone's username and/or ranking should not have an effect on how you receive a message as long as the message contains a valid point. I would hope that you would not give money to a legendary member when they are clearly scamming when you would not give money to a newbie when the newbie is trying to pull the same scam. Why should my message be any different?

What you're saying is that sig earnings should be relative to how much a sig can display. That makes sense. But why are you ok with different member ranks having different privileges of what is displayed in their sigs? And you're arguing for fairness?? Post quality are not determined by rank as you say, so why aren't you bitching about unfair sig displays too (higher ranks having more flashy sigs)?




A staff member on the other hand generally will have their posts directed towards a smaller subset of people, more often then not addressing a specific concern of a user. Sometimes a staff member may post something unrelated to their duties as a moderator but the rules for signatures are not changed because someone is a moderator, and a post is generally not looked at more closely because someone is a moderator/staff member. As a result there is no valid business reason to want to pay a staff member at a higher rate then other senior members earn other then to use that additional payment to get something out of them later.

This is according to YOU, but you cannot speak for everyone. I can argue the other position, where a staff's account name, avatar, and sig are more noticed by the general public compared to a regular account in the same rank. So even though sig displays don't have more privileges, the overall account and status gets them more attention, regardless of what they post. So in this sense, it is a valid business decision to pay staff more.




Why do I need to be personally affected by this in order to want the market to be as fair as possible?

Would you admit that this setup is not fair? If so would you think this is something that is okay?

Lets not pretend that you're requesting this new policy out of a sense of altruism. If you really did care about the well being of the forum, then you wouldn't sell account. But the fact is, your whole existence on this forum is to hustle accounts. What you're doing is destroying credibility, selling trust, and indirectly promoting scamming. Worry about what your business revolves around and the implications of it before you worry about sig pay fairness.

I'm pretty sure he wants the btc to use it to buy the coffee, paid with btc. Repayment is when he gets back to his place when he has access to the normal wallet.
847  Economy / Lending / Re: Please, can you give me a little loan? on: August 25, 2014, 06:57:30 AM
Man, so hard to do a quick background check on this guy. Everything is non-English, and no prior transactions.
848  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: the most complete of bitcoin exchanges reviews on: August 25, 2014, 06:17:02 AM
Nice comprehensive list. Although, you missed something very important: BTC-e has a fee of 1.5%, with a minimum fee of $150 if you want to withdraw by international wire transfer. This is why I never withdraw fiat from btc-e.
849  Economy / Digital goods / Re: WTS > Starbucks Gift Cards on: August 25, 2014, 05:13:05 AM
Hmm tempting since you're putting your reputation on the line.

If I get the $200 card, is it possible to transfer half the funds to another blank card?

hilariousandco was in PD sig campaign before he was a mod (I think?), so according to you, he should be booted from it now?

You were perfectly fine with a tiered payout according to rank. Now when there is a staff/legendary tier, it's a problem all of a sudden? If you're going to bitch about staff having higher pay in sig campaigns, then also bitch about unfair payouts according to rank.

This problem you bring up is isolated to one mod and one sig campaign. You don't sound any more professional making sweeping generalizations like this. Go take it up with Stunna and hilariousandco.


PS - why don't you come on your real account to bring this up? Ironic that you bring up such small "problem", yet your alt account is solely for buying/selling forum accounts, which is borderline shady. Only reason why this activity isn't against the rule is because it can't be enforced. So like you said, how are you going to enforce mods not giving inside info through email instead of PM? You can't, it's all based on the honor system.
851  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My bank doesn't know what a bitcoin is.... HELP on: August 25, 2014, 04:40:48 AM
I honestly thought most banks knew what bitcoins were to be honest, proved wrong though from this post. Smiley

All banks know what bitcoin is by now. It's the low level gnomes that work inside the physical locations that haven't got a clue what bitcoin is.

Talk to an analyst in the fraud department, tell them it's a bitcoin transaction and they'll close your bank account.
852  Economy / Lending / Re: Need some BTC? 🌟Collateral Optional🌟 on: August 25, 2014, 04:29:04 AM
Could I loan 0.01-0.02 please.

You serious dude? Right I gave you the loan under the condition to not stack any other loan from another lender, then I see you make a request on here.

Feel free to take a loan anywhere else, but I'm requesting mine back for breaking your agreement.

Why don't you just PM hilariousandco and Stunna. We all know you're directing it at these two, but rather you're making some generalizations when it doesn't even involve any other staff or any other sig campaigns.

It's Stunna's sig campaign, he can be as discriminatory as he wants with who he pays and what rate.
856  Other / Meta / Re: This TRUST thingy is for the birds. I'm now high risk and a Racist. on: August 25, 2014, 01:41:38 AM
I don't see anything red in your account until after I click on trust. Even if it is red, Bruno what's the big deal? You're never in the marketplace section anyways, and that's the only time your profile will show up red if someone does NOT have a default trust list.
857  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is Money - US District Judge on: August 25, 2014, 12:37:33 AM
There are pros and cons to this. If it's deemed as money, then it will be regulated as such. FINCEN already has done so. The tradeoff, now the IRS should not tax it has a property. Dam government needs to make up their mind what to call it. Or even better, just leave it alone. But we all know that won't be happening.

Sucks to see you selling this. Just a few months ago, I remember you requesting a $6k loan to buy this ring, and how that you finally were able to get it, it's put up on sale :/

We are looking to offer between 10-18% interest on the loan as that seems more than fair considering the situation.

Or, I can just buy my own mining equipment and get 100% of the profit, with zero risk of problems between two people. And to top it off, I'll even get to keep the equipment at the end to continue mining, or sell off to recoup some of the investment.

Been to Hawaii for vacation. Very beautiful place, and ideally that's where I'd be after retiring. I'd love to pay for a home in btc when the time comes, assuming my stash grows big enough by then.
