Here are a few simple facts.
1. Approx 90% of bitcoins mined are sold to pay for the electric.
2. That equates to $5 million a day on electric costs, sure some might be green, but some of that that electricity could be used by someone else that subsequently didn't have the green electric.
So basically bitcoin must be wasting $2 Billion a year that is in effect environmental damage.
If bitcoin increases, more people mine and so the environmental impact is linked very closely to the price of btc.
I hope bitcoin becomes worthless asap.
So you think, VISA and MasterCard run without power? Amazon got insight from massive data without any use of power? What do you think about the process of making paper that waste so much water? Every luxury that we use is putting pressure on nature, but they never told you that you should live in Forest/ or nomadic type of life. But they told you do not use BTC because BTC is causing environmental issues. |

A killer idea, A trusted developer , fund will automatically follow. But idea should be something that should bridge the gap between non-crypto user and crypto users not something that will provide added functionality to the crypto users only.

Off course thought can be similar, but words cannot match like that. Probablity of two user having same private key is much better as compared to your word by word copied text.

I think you need to incorporate few more ideas in your thoughts, it is not about red tag only. Have you ever guessed your signature can cause permanent ban if it has phising link? Anyway quoting my one of old post here for adding more points that are not discussed here. Altough we already have a existing topic that explain the Signature Campaign Guidelines but I think it is time for us to add some more guidelines/suggestion in it. The earlier guidelines were more concerned about the spamming in this forum but I think we are now facing one more problem on top of spam , i.e is adverisement of scams or (Scam ICOs) Actually, I got this idea for creating the topic while reading the post of the Theymos in this topic . Phishing is bannable. Probably everyone who wore it would be banned.
A simple extension may extend to promoting scam can cause -ve trust, even it is included in your signature only and you are not directly promoting it. Let me put some suggestion for user advertising in their signature space. 1. Check the links in your signature that you are advertising, make sure it is not some kind of phising link. 2. Do your own research before joining the signature campaign and do not join the project if it look shady. 3. Do not trust the bounty manager blindly even bounty manager can be greedy and promoting the project for its own gain. 4. Do not join the signature campaign that do not meet your posting habits. If your posting habit is of around 10 post per week than do not enroll in signature campaign that ask for 25 post in a week. 5. If you already got some hint that the project is scam then do not keep mum , even you enrolled in its signature or not. You can create a topic in Scam Accusation board6. Incorporated Joel_Jantsen post Don't participate in the campaigns which are not started by
- A reputed campaign manager
- Avoids escrow
- Hires shit-posters
It is our responsibility that we should not promote scam and help in preventing it. PS: If you have some more suggestion that are not covered till now, Then feel free to suggest in this thread. I will in corporate them in this post. Edit: Signature is paid or not paid ,should comply the forum rules. |

I know this man personally. Never been seen behind any negative cases. He wrote only on the merits, spam was not.
he needs this account to edit and maintain the theme with the table for the bounty.
Am asking reconsider its decision and unlock his account.
Please consider the appeal.
With respect, Katrin.
Very weighted vouch for OP here  If OP is doing so important work for you guys then you all should pay the OP for it Good news is that OP can still access the forum in read mode and create the table of bounties for you in guys another forum. I see so many happy people in this solution. 1. OP get paid for work. 2.You all will get information. 3. That forum will be happy to welcome all of you. |

How do you know that people moved from bitcoin to gold.Did they signed a disclaimer that they are migrating from BTC to gold due to liquidity issue. Anyway I am not against for investing in gold but I do not think people are migrating from bitcoin to gold and if someone do not want to invest in BTC then there are still multiple opportunities better performing than gold.

There are so many unreported thefts , and many personal thefts that are discussed in various forum but never accounted in any official report. The number can go much higher. As already pooya pointed, there is difference between the lost vs stolen. these all are stolen coins.

B and H board do not have any active moderator. I guess somebody used "Report to Moderator" button on your thread that cause Mod to move it. For rest of the topic might be nobody reported them. But surprisingly there are 3 more topics I know ,existing there created before your topic creation.

There are so many forums where there is no setting to show account trust, so how the people dealing there?
Expecting people to remain dumb and adding more type of scores does not mean anything. They will ignore the scores saying "I am new, I do not know what that score means at that time"?
You don't need rules for everything to understand what is wrong or right,your moral judgement also suffice.

Though I believe in DT feedback but I read the untrusted feedback also.
Somebody having neutral trust but having 1-2 untrusted feedback from general users of this forum (user are not posting shit, not in any kind of shady activities, or account not created to just to distribute random feedback), I will consider that user untrusted.

Ya I'm from the United States, the signature campaign was cancelled by the way, wasn't fake. Again I don't give a fuck about that.
If it is cancelled, then you decided not to inform the community. You do not need to proud that you come from USA, because whatever shady stuff exist it is already happening there. (from begging,theft,abuse list will go on). The majority of internet scammers come from 3rd world countries like Nigeria, this is a FACT.
Person who is writing "King of Nigeria" does not mean person belong to Nigeria. They are just like you who "don't give a fuck about that". |

First , I thought craiglist is having some kind of ad slots started and they are charging for it. Anyways what ever OP tells is a very old news. just reminded me one of my own old post. 5. Try to sell your stuff for crypto currency.
You can sell your stuff in Goods board for crypto currency in this forum. Now Craiglist also give option to sell your stuff in crypto currency.

I will be very frank on this
Personally, I do not feel this challenge will serve the intended purpose, whether it is started with Merit or without Merit. Those want to learn , they find their way (sometimes it took time to find the right board/knowledge source) but they eventually find it. They are not waiting for any Merit challenges to start their learning.
Those who do not want to learn, will still give substandard /directly copy pasted answer.
As far the, multiple options Q/A concerned , they look to easy to find answer without provoking any thoughts.

No scam on that site, only some user who didn't read well in the past.
And those DT users is one big farce
Business is tagged by multiple DT users of this community . It simply means your promotion/ advertisement/way of conducting business is not welcome in this community. |

Any country for that matter will be proud of their winning candidates, so Philippines is no different. I remember India winning titles in succession also in the 90's. And that time I have some Indian office mates, and indeed they are so happy and at the same time very proud eventhough women are treated differently in their country.
That I am suspecting, few decade back they targeted Indian economy, that targeting is now complete. Answer lies some where in Philippines economy or some future prospect in it. This is not disregard to the contest winner beauty/brains but I am saying these decisions are influenced |

you should research for investing.
if you want to make a profit and be successful in investing, you must read about crypto and it's market. many of projects are a scam.

this project is using a new method that is made by themselves and is exclusive.you can make a solid investment and make the profit
https://mastercloudminer.com Do not listen to this guy above. I guess, you need to read this topic first.before you start investing in crypto. |

Years ago, I participated on a forum where spam posting due to signature rewards was an issue, too. Actually it was a pretty similar situation as it is on bitcointalk today.
After the introduction of a signature views measurement service, the campaign owners started to accept only members which had a high rate of views, mostly thread creators and creators of posts on popular and useful discussions with an interesting history. Or they paid rewards per view. Creating post number 1849 on page 190 on a pointless discussion thread, brought only a couple of views which finally became unattractive what caused an significant decrease of needless posts.
As far as I remember, it was not a native forum solution, rather a external service where a 1px image was added to the sig besides the text. Each time the pixel was loaded it counted the view. To prevent using visitor exchanges or other viewing tools, it locked the IP for a couple of hours to be counted for the same user.
I do not understand how this will help in the case where users have created "Offices" for abusing bounties. They will do work from their home, clicking each other link ,skewing the whole metrics. Secondly, theymos is not concerned about how much view a signature created, he is concerned about the shit posting happening due to signatures. |

Look like we have already some business in this field, This is what I am exactly thinking of. PO boxes will not solve the purpose. locking it now. |

Theymos, can you solve the mystery? newbie with 2 merit watering wearing avatar?
Title need little correction. I guess this is not the first time that we saw some thing unexplained for user alanst. We have one more open question about that user. Who can move and lock topics? Patrollers? |
