You could share the website link, maybe you would get more attention.

I believe some people may be willing to work for free, as everyone needs to start somewhere. And nobody makes their first article for real money.

I think you can go to services board and look if there is something there that you can do. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0
There are sometimes people who offer some bitcoin to developers, for certain services. Maybe it will interest you.

Additionally, you can go to this Reddit Community, Jobs4Bitcoins https://www.reddit.com/r/Jobs4Bitcoins/

However, I will recommend that you do not waste much of your time working now.You are young, and the most important is that you develop your skills now (and make much more money later)

I don't understand how people are so naive. They think bitcoin is like free money for everyone.

Have you ever seen someone asking "Please, deposit some money in my bank account and I will give you the double you send back to you!"
That is unthinkable, as nobody would even listen to someone doing this. Why do people listen if he talks about bitcoin or any cryptocurrency?

I used an strategy when I first set up my ledger which worked very well, I don't know if you have already set up your trezor..

When I first used my ledger I noted down the seed and the passphrase. I checked the bitcoin public address and noted it down.
Then I reseted the device. Inserted the seed and passphrase again, and checked the bitcoin public address. They matched, so I was sure I noted it correctly.

Your told a very complex history , but all those details doesn't really matter.

You need to understand that all your traffic related to coinbase cannot be linked to gambling activities.
So, when you withdrawal from coinbase use always the same address. Keep this address clean.

When you are dealing with gambling, use other addresses.
If you need to use some BTC you bought at coinbase, you need to mix those coins first.

Just move those coins to another address, and use a mixing service before sending those coins to a gambling site.

And when using coinbase again, just create a new address.

I think this is a safe strategy

I was thinking about different signature campaigns in the forum, and I decided to compare the two biggest and most expensive ones : Chipmixer and CryptoTalk

About Chipmixer campaign, in my opinion it is a huge success. It is certainly very expensive: this week payments costed 1.3 BTC for 60 members.

The result over more than 100 weeks:
- The most reputable members of the forum are wearing their signature and advertising their service.
- Those users are also very knowledge about bitcoin.
- Those users display that signature in the most important boards of the forum: Technical Discussion, Beginners & Help, Meta,  Technical Support,  Wallets support, and so on. Those members interact with real users and provide support.

Certainly, Chipmixer has a great community support here in this forum. And any new or old user who comes to this forum will notice their brand.

As so many trusted users are wearing their signature, if I would ever use a mixer service, I would try Chipmixer. I know it is not a scam and it is a good service, based  on all those members opinions.

Now, about Cryptotalk/Yobit
Unfortunately I do not have access to Cryptotalk /Yobit payments, but I tried to estimate it.
They are paying 0.00012 to 0.00020 per post, depending on their rank. The average is 0.00016 per post, so I worked with that number. There is also a limit of 10 posts per day.

This way, if a user from this campaign makes 50 post per week (which is not that hard, as you are free to spam or make low quality posts), this user will receive 0.008 btc per week.

I don't have the access to how many users are participating in the campaign, but I will use 200, based on this post:

I saw this post from Yahoo:

The total cost of Yobit/Cryptotalk campaign is, according to my estimations, 200*0.008 = 1.6 BTC per week.
But let's suppose it is the same as chipmixer, 1.3.

So, what are the results?
- Lots of complains in reputation board.
- Lots of useless posts in megathreads where nobody reads anything.
- Only Google reads their posts.
- Controvert community support. Most of the forum members don't like or respect Yobit, while those are getting paid provide some support.
- Members who participated before in their campaigns had their reputation damaged in the past.


I know Yahoo is trying to keep it spam clean, but unfortunately the users are just dumb and don't know how to post (do not read before writing, don't have proper english, don't have any knowledge about any related topic, etc). Of course there are some exceptions and a few reputable members are in Cryptotalk campaign, but they are mostly unnoticed. Personally, if I see this signature I just skip his post.


Isn't it much better for Yobit to make a signature campaign with reputable members only? Choose users based on their participation on the forum, not in their ranks. The cost is the same or maybe even lower.

personally, based on their signature campaign, I would hardly use their service. Imo, this campaign damaged their reputation.

They could have spent the same amount of money and made a very nice campaign, with reputable members wearing their brand while supporting newbies and advanced users, instead of spamming around.

Why did they prefer this crazy campaign format? What am I missing?
50 good members posting 30 posts per week is much better than 500 spammers spamming 70 posts per week, isnt it?

Weird error. Never experienced nothing similar.

Did you download from Electrum.org?

I don't like to recommend other wallets, because this is my favorite (electrum). Do you have your 24 words seed?  Do you know if is it BIP39 or electrum format?

Try connecting to a different server:

User is asking for lending in btc using a pegged token, 1:1 to BTC.
He claims that this token and service as trustless and decentralized, which clearly aren't.

I think a flag should be appropriate.


Flag here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=937

There is no decentralization.
As you mentioned, the token works just like usdt or udc, which are fully centralized.

Who decides what to do with the BTC lended? Who holds the BTC? Who holds the data to confirm if wbtc is or not backed up by BTC?
All these items and much more and controlled by one person or company, which makes your project fully centralized.

Your text is misleading imo. You are trying to advertise your service not the way it really is.

You should change title for like "earn interest by lending me Bitcoin" , for example. Because nothing is decentralized there.

You also said "trustless". How would it be trustless if users have to trust you have BTC pegged?

This is not decentralized and you are trying to cheat people with misinformation


You are not giving the privatekeys of bitcoins to users, which they gave to you.
They have the privatekeys of a shitcoin you created which is totally centralized and not audited. Nobody knows if you have bitcoin 1:1 with your token.

I advice everyone to stay away from this because this really looks like a scam, as most of the information above is misleading.

Added negative feedback. Will create a flag.

Kraken is a good Exchange,  and you can stick to it.
But there are many others which you can trade with USD/BTC pair.

Take a look here
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/#markets

Personally, I would use bitstamp, kraken or coinbase. Or binance.us if you can

90% of the users do not read before writing. If you do, you will get many merits and will be considered a good poster.

I recommend that you just ignore any thread with more than 15 replies. Some very specific threads are an exception to this rule imo. After 15 replies, most of the time, everything was already said and spammers join in

I see the joker is winning the pool. Ofc, most people watched only his movie (as I did).
It is a beautiful movie and certainly deserves many rewards. The picture is amazing, I really liked the colors.
But I didn't see the other movies.. as I believe most here didn't either

Thanks iasenko.
This thread is better than a bump.
I hope theymos will review pending applications and give at least a small amount of smerit to those who will do a good job

Lost funds are not a big problem, as compared to the problems that would show up if your suggestion gets implemented.
I believe the right of  property is one of the biggest pillars of bitcoin. Once you have your privatekey, nobody can take funds from you. Neither the police, the justice, the government, thieves, no one. Not even you, if you lose it. No back door.

Binance allows withdrawal to P2SH addresses (starting with 3).
I having being doing so for more than a year there. Native would be nice ofc, but it is ok for me p2sh


Legacy is terrible. Every exchange service should allow at Least p2sh addresses

Try all social media .
Social media are very good ways to get some attention. Bitcointalk is better because it is pseudo anonymous. But if you can't reach here, try those

He does not suggest that the users would be paying higher fees, as he says later on "there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume."



I think He is stating the opposite: that rewards will be subsided by a high volume of transaction. He isn't stating anything about higher fees, but a higher volume.


My bet is that will remain small, in the same USD value.
Maybe in later BIPs we will be able to set sub-satoshi/byte fees..? Who knows. Only a fork is needed to do that.

Anything higher than today's usd value in fees is "high fee" imo.

Free market is smart enough to make miners leave if they find it unprofitable to mine without incentive. I think they will just move to a location with cheaper energy.

Let's see what happens in the next halving.
They will be a crazy about the price, so fees will pump (more than the price) for some months. But things will come back to normal, and I will keep confirming my transactions with 1 sat/byte in 2 hours, like I always did =D




I don't think bitcoin will be wiped out... if something unkown shows up because of scaling problems, bitcoin will become the digital gold imo. Fees may be a bit higher, but it will be a very robust system, much cheaper than gold transactions for example.

You can reduce transaction size, like segwit. Who knows if in future something that reduced even more transaction size appears. Increasing block size is not the only option.

You can scale offchain as well. You can use both solutions. Neither of those change block size.
I don't agree and I don't think that this is the design (that users should pay more fees). This is not written in the whitepaper and it is not what is happening.

It does not require  a magical solution, but a rational solution. We are in 2019 with thousands of transactions per day and you can still confirm transactions with 1 sat/byte using legacy addresses.

Actually, it is the opposite that is written there. That there is an incentive now that will last a few years. When the incentive is over, they will survive just in fees. This is what is written there. And at that point the reward would be so small that it would be only a small fraction of the fees.


Satoshi expected a very large transaction volume not a small transaction volume with higher fees.

[/quote]

I do not agree.
You can have more transactions.

When incentive/ inflation is near zero, there will be two scenarios for Bitcoin: or everyone will be using, or nobody will be.
In the first case we will have much more transactions per block (some solution for scaling will show up)

About bitcoin being a digital gold only for rich people... It is not now, there is no reason to think it will be in the future. Do you think only rich people use bitcoin?

Op you just didn't think or made enough research about the subject, and you are using wrong premises to create conclusions which are wrong as well..
