Theoretically, would a cashout limit help stop bots?
I'm not really sure. All I expect it would do would make it take a longer time for bots to be able to cashout. What kind of security features can be added into this script that can't be added into a faucetbox one?
I suppose perhaps the login feature may help, though I somewhat doubt it and wouldn't rely on it. I don't think there are any sorts of security measures that the FaucetBox script doesn't have. |

Then explain them the risk...
However, people don't. People that run/promote Ponzis and HYIPs are not interested in making sure their investors are safe, they are interested in making a profit. If everyone knew how Ponzis worked I'm sure they would get significantly less interest from new users. the problem is that it is allowed on this forum but red trusted...
and above all if truster see ponzi shemes and scam where no scam is the forum does more confuse that help...
Ponzis inevitably scam due to how they work. You will never find a truly 'legit' Ponzi, as it is impossible. The forum allows these schemes to be posted, however that does not mean that they are trustworthy. By members marking the people running/promoting these Ponzis, it shows that these users are untrustworthy and to use caution investing in the schemes. People are free to run and promote them, just as others are free to mark them as untrustworthy. Who can admit that every one whi has not proved hes innocence is guilty?
That is how it has to work on this forum, else truly innocent people get scammed. Especially since Bitcoin is irreversible, if users were to give people running websites like Ponzis the benefit of the doubt and assume their business model is viable they will inevitably be scammed (as the business model would not be viable and the coins would not be returned). If someone is running a site like this and they can prove the viability of the site's income then people will trust them. Otherwise, they cannot be trusted without innocent people losing their money. |

Not sure if this question has been asked before, (I don't want to read through 14 pages) but what is the advantage of using this script over a faucetbox script?
It mainly depends on how you would like your faucet to work. The MiniFaucet script supports users having a balance and direct withdrawals to a Bitcoin address, while scripts from other microtransaction websites only support the API of the website. I don't think that MicroFaucet has as much in terms of security as the FaucetBox script however, though it can be added in. Also, is it possible to change a faucet that is running on the faucetbox API to this script?
You would really just have to delete the current script and add MiniFaucet to your server instead, though the MiniFaucet script does support FaucetBox payouts. |

Everyone understands that there is a risk involved in investing in ponzis/HYIP's, so it's their choice.
No, they don't. That is the problem. Newbies see 'Multiply your BTC 2x' and don't understand how the program works, therefore possibly getting scammed. |

Hi Sir i tried this code & get following errors if you please take a look at them and modify the code. Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /home/lyqan/public_html/index.php on line 2219 ... In my index.php code at line 2219 $countryCode = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://freegeoip.net/json/' . getIP()))->country_code; This is due to Freegeoip being slow today. It does load, but your code probably times out the connection before the webpage returns something causing the error. You can do a check for it with this: $countryCodeJson = file_get_contents('http://freegeoip.net/json/' . getIP());
if(!$countryCodeJson){
$rewardsMultiplier = 1;
}else{
$countryCode = $countryCodeJson->country_code;
}
It will set the rewards to the default if the Freegeoip fails. Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /home/lyqan/public_html/index.php on line 2240 ... & at line 2240 $rW *= $rewardMultiplier; This one no one is really too sure about. Kazuldur tried to solve it here but didn't have much of an idea. Try this instead, just to make sure we're multiplying numbers: if(ctype_digit($rw)){
$rW *= $rewardMultiplier;
}
Otherwise I don't have much of an idea. |

But Lutpin, you should probably expect more of this retaliatory feedback if you're going to be policing the forum. Look at Vod's trust feedback, which is filled with bogus negatives. Hell, even my trust feedback is filled with red from assholes who I called out on BS. That's just the nature of the forum.
However, look at the general rank/age of the accounts leaving these retaliatory feedbacks. They are mostly new accounts who are annoyed that they didn't get their own way, correct? To have someone who was once trusted enough to escrow, like defcon23, do exactly the same thing (because his thread was removed for breaking the rules) is nothing less of sad. with many reports on over user ( often for no real reason )
No, pretty much all feedback sent by the users you just listed is valid as they are on the Default Trust network. Should the feedback they leave be invalid, they would have been removed. everyone can judge by themselve
However, this doesn't happen. Newbies here have been scammed by people with red trust before, and it will continue to happen. Trying to say that people shouldn't leave feedback because others judge for themselves is wrong, because it doesn't happen. but it seem they probably have no real life outside this forum... that's why these trolls grow their life in this way..
that's just a stupid kid who think wining more credibility in this forum with one more report  "Hmm, I need to look mature to win this argument. I know! I'll insult the people that disagree with me for no reason!". Are you a child? Grow up. ask if bitcoin is accepted, and blame me for putting my referal link.. you see ? what's his problem?
So, you post a shop onto BitcoinTalk which doesn't take bitcoin, with a referral link (which is against the rules to post) and you're surprised that it was reported and removed. What did you expect to happen? |
|

|

So, you saw a user with negative trust promoting an offer with a downloaded file and thought that it would be a good idea to download? You may as well have sent the BTC to him directly.
I suggest you tread carefully from this point on. Do not use the affected wallet or PC anymore. When you get a chance to, do a fresh install of your Windows system. This will ensure no further damage takes place.

Try waiting the 48 hours he said in his message before jumping to any conclusions.
Also, are you taking Paypal as payment? That's a pretty big risk.

Necroposting is not allowed.If the topic is trending with no posts in it since a week or two and you truly have something constructive to contribute to it,you may.If the last post made in the topic was a month or months back ,more like a dead thread,you aren't suppose to resurrect it because once you do,the sig spamming follows.The rules are subjective to change in special cases ,depending on how relevant your post is.
If you are reported for necroposting ,your posts will be deleted.
Where did you get this from? According to this post by mprep on the rules list, so long as it does not break any of the other rules necroposting is completely allowed. As said previously in the thread, so long as your post abides by the rules then it is allowed. |

Now thats interesting. Contacted grue for letting him know that he should perma-ban lastlove for ban evasion yet?
Considering OP created his current account (lastlove9091) two months after his banned alt account (vpsmmoforall) then he is certainly evading his ban. Whether he will be penalized for it now however, since it has been ~1.5 years since those accounts were made, is a different story. Considering the ban on the previous account was permanent though, it isn't looking good for OP. And i think DT member at this forum should not have someone like u, so i creat this topic!
You don't think that DT should have members that mark people for helping scammers? What do you think DT should be for? OP has a point... Maybe if he was promoting a ponzi that isnt a ponzi game within investor games subforum?
Promoting a scam isn't suddenly alright because it is in a place full of other scams. Trying to justify him doing this simply because it is in the Investor Based Games subforum and you can assume people 'know how the websites there work' isn't right. Some people do not know how the websites in that subforum work, and people like OP cementing the belief that such websites are legit causes people to be scammed. |

If we start adding faucets , you may have to add Ponzi schemes (shitload of them) too . So it's probably better to keep this list clean .
I can't say I really understand the connection between Faucets and Ponzis, but I'm glad you both agree with me. I've changed the notice at the top of the page to include faucets. Thanks for the opinions! |

stop trying to put words in my fingers you idiot, as i defined it in the OP this is my saturday morning RANT
Regardless, you are ranting about the forum and it's management. Therefore, it is a Meta issue. you lot are taking it as a complaint, that is your choice and not my problem you chose not to read my words and understand them really is it
How are you not complaining? A complaint is defined as 'a statement that something is unsatisfactory or unacceptable.', are you not doing this? the mentality around here is depressing
No one is forcing, or even asking for you to stay. thought you lot were higher intelligence than the 99%
I find it funny that you're insulting other's intelligence while struggling to understand that an Altcoin topic goes in the Altcoin section. Also, putting words in your fingers? |

By "investing in the forum software," you mean launder over 2 million bucks by allegedly giving it to an Anon he purportedly never met in person, at a rate of $100k a month via an open-ended nonviolent non-contract without a noncompletion clause, who, in turn, proceeded to not complete it?
He has not completed it as it is an ongoing project. By saying he has not completed implies there is some sort of deadline that he has not met, when you acknowledged in your post that there is no given deadline. Development can be tracked on the Github or the project's website. I don't understand when you distrust the developers so much, especially when they are running an open source project where all development can be tracked publicly. How about you drop the sarcasm, Buttercup, hmm?
I'm not being sarcastic. I'm unsure why you think that. |

ohhh look another thread moved to another wrong board
You're complaining about the forum, therefore it is an issue for Meta (As labelled, 'Discussion about the Bitcoin Forum'). Off Topic, which I'm guessing is where you posted it before, is for topics that do not belong in any other board. Please learn to understand English properly before complaining about the forum is run. i dont require help or assistance, i want my thread putting back where i put it originally
Why would the mods move a topic back to a place where it does not belong? Like it or not, a problem with an Altcoin miner doesn't belong in the Bitcoin board, rather the Altcoin board. evidence of a perfectly functioning brain, i know im a minority these days the masses are too heavily fluoridated  Good joke. |

There is actually another easter egg similar to this (if the source hasn't been changed that is), that your posts read 'I'm a geek!!' if you reach 100,000 posts. Source. |

You mean you don't understand how having cash he can spend is different from having donations to bitcointalk, which he can't? What, exactly is unclear to you?
If the person who recieved the donations under the premise of reinvesting them into the forums cannot then spend them investing in the forum's software, then who can spend them and for what reason? |

Also gratz @ minifrij

Hello please also add gameofcoins.org so many mimic faucets are popping right now, they are using ads, and they will let the users refresh the page so that they can earn more and more, and after that. The user will be banned. DO NOT USE THIS FAUCET, USE THE LEGIT FAUCETS.
I'm not sure if I will add a faucet to this list as you can't invest anything other than time. What do other people think about this? |

Got scammed 150$ by btexzone.com/ .
Please add it to the list. Thanks!
Added it to the Pending list. If you make a thread in the Scam Accusations board with all the evidence you can, I will consider adding it to the main list. Thanks. |
