Well I believe you're just talking about the limitation that you have to wait 6 minutes between posts. This always happens before a post no matter how much time has passed and whether you have actually written any other posts, and it seems rather pointless?

If all this is on purpose, they should probably do something to inform the newbies about it in the warnings ^^

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to mention this really annoying bug, which has kept me from actively using this forum for a long time now.
When you try to post a new reply or thread as a junior member, you will always get the message that your IP address has posted once before in the last 360 seconds.
The procedure to get around it is as follows:
1) Click post reply
2) Wait 360 seconds
3) Refresh
4) Go back a page
5) Change a character
6) Click post
7) Go back
8) Copy the message
9) Refresh
10) Paste the message
11) Post

Mind you, this also happens to me using other computers and browsers on different networks.
So where this feature is meant to force users to spend 6 minutes writing their message, it makes them spend 10 minutes trying to actually post their reply.

So you are basically ruining my chance of doing any deals at all, just because I'm not an active poster?
That is madness.

Of course I agree that an escrow is always to be used. It's just about picking the right one.

Yes, but with this minesweeper thing you are placing your money on a guess, in which you have no way of knowing what will happen (based on luck = betting).
With stocks, as a well-experienced stock trader, you should be able to place your money on something that will earn you back every time (based on skill and a general idea of how companies are doing = investment).

No it doesn't.
This isn't an investment, this is a bet.

Greetings everyone!
One of my friends is running a forum and I'm helping him moderate the thing and develop a bit of this and that.
Now, we have a VIP subscription, which can only be bought with bitcoins. At first we went with bitmerch, as we all know they have a brilliant IPN solution. We also tried MtGox, but they thought our forum was too shady, so they decided not to serve us.
Bitmerch worked and everyone was happy, except... all the members who didn't "get" bitcoins and had no intention to do so. We found this gateway, www.danskbitcoin.net , where the user can pay them with their credit card. They will then purchase bitcoins for the money and send them to the merchant. The concept is great, we like it, but they lack a IPN-like feature, which means that we cannot automatically handle the payments.

I believe we need either
A) An online wallet which sends a POST request to our IPN script when it receives a payment (after which it will forward the funds)
B) Same as above, but where it simply monitors the blockchain and the wallet file is stored offline (preferred)

I could make up something myself which would regularly query the blockchain.info API, but that doesn't seem like an ideal solution.
Does anyone know of something we could use?
