Next stop...The Apprentice!

A task on which team can make the most bitcoin by posting their referral links all over the forums.

Haha, that'd actually be a good task. I love The Apprentice and the twats on there. I wonder when the next series is?

Am I missing something?

Why does the post need to be reported?

To move it to the right forum.
16603  Other / Meta / Re: newbies section on: January 20, 2014, 10:32:25 PM
yeah does anyone know why they closed the newbie section? it seemed like a great place to go if your new it was very helpful when i first signed up. too bad it's gone now.   Sad

I agree. Before I joined, I would go through the newbie section and it seemed like a good starting point. Now that I joined, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed and not exactly sure where to go to post my silly newbie questions. Lol Roll Eyes

That's why I think it's still a good idea. I reckon there's gonna be a massive influx of crap posted all over the other forums now, but I must admit it hasn't been as bad as expected so far.

When did they change this? Maybe just give it time and you'll be right? Lol

Earlier today.

Dogecoin is so last week. Let me guess, you're mad cause you got left holding the bag, and you want to spam bitcoin discussion about dogecoin hoping more pump and dumpers will come in and save you.

I bought $8 USD worth of dogecoin 2 weeks ago and now it's valued at $35 USD. Dogecoin to the moon!

And it'll probably be worth $5 or less in another two  Grin.

They do, but obviously they're not very smart.

Let's be honest here most of the scams that go on around here are done by people who aren't exactly mental giants. That being said, the most effective scams have been run primarily by long cons - people with planing and thought put into their scam.

Yeah, longcons and even scams can be genius. These scams are just pathetic daylight robberies perpetrated by moronic goons who usually end up empty handed.

Which came first, scam or scammers?

Idiots came first and smarter people capitalised on this.

Hello world I Have been coming up with some t-shirt ideas and I wanted to share some with you guys. If I get enough people that wants a  print I can get them done. I can also do custom one of shirts also. So here is my first post.

Posted Jan 17 2013

Posted Jan 20 2013
I really like the colours of these shirts but would like a different design. Have you got any more in the pipeline?

nice stuff, If you need to screen print them let me know.

He runs his own shop so I reckon he's good  Grin.

It would've probably been easy for you to just say that, or do it yourself  Cheesy.
16609  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Buying ALL Bitcoin. on: January 20, 2014, 10:10:12 PM
Aw how cute, I didn't know "you go first" scammers existed anymore  Kiss

They do, but obviously they're not very smart.

Spit roast?

That's a girl right?

Sorry mate, it's a guy. He has a twin brother too if you're interested Tongue



Eww, but that'd be gay  Grin.

I suppose the logic was that it's now not needed since the newbie restrictions have been lifted.
16615  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Wallet Suggestion on: January 20, 2014, 09:47:36 PM
It looks pretty easy to use. Maybe there would be reason to have both an online and offline wallet. Thanks for the suggestions!

Some people use an online wallet as their current/spending account and a offline or computer wallet as their savings.

FLUORIDE (the 'controllers' target us with Fluoride to 'dumb us down' and cause disease)

Buy a proper water filter (not your normal cheap ones, they do not remove fluoride, toxins or bacteria).
Search for Reverse Osmosis Filters, or Gravity Filters such as Berkey, Pro Pur, and make sure they contain Fluoride Filters/Heavy Metal Filters/Chlorine filters and bacteria filters if possible.
Also, stop using fluoride toothpaste, use natural toothpaste (fluoride-free). Kingfisher is a good brand, and Vicco. There are more. Use the most natural you can.
Check the ingredients on the drinks you buy and the foods, avoid fluoride wherever you can, it is lethal.

That Samantha comment is funny lol

Hehe, one of my favourite lines from Bruno:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vekK9MhwJsQ

I'm tempted to post my picture and blow my identity, but that wouldn't be the Satoshi way Tongue

Yeah I love that movie.

We have so much in common! Bitcoin, Bruno, Tokio Hotel. Okay I made that last part up.

Yuck. Tokio Hotel *makes the finger down throat gesture*

Lol. it's funny some American guy on Call of Duty was saying how he loves the singer, how she's so hot etc. Then I broke the news to him that Bill is (as his name suggests) a bloke.

Would still smash it, though haha  Kiss

Haha, was gonna say I'd give him a bash too.

Cracks me up everytime.

Why don't you wear an Anonymous mask? Or maybe a Mr Natterjacky one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vaFf-6WQeU

There is a man, Daddy. I can't believe that it is from 2003, time flies. Maybe I'll put a pic of myself taken in an Anonymous mask with a Borat mankini with a little Bitcoin logo on the the end haha.

People would probably pay to see that. Will you put a tiny top hat on too?

Haha start speaking in coin and this concoction may come to life and see the light of day.

Well I won't pay because I am not people, but people do occasionally pay or offer to pay for this privilege, or so I've heard.

16619  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: MakeBTC.org Pyramid Scheme on: January 20, 2014, 09:17:45 PM
The payments come from the operator, and yes, there is certainly a chance that he can just pack up the site and hold onto the wallet for himself.  But, if he's getting steady new users there's no benefit to doing so.  His greed fuels the profit of others.

How do you know that you will definitely get paid out if you reach that level 4 and the money just wont stop there? As long as there's suckers that keep paying in it doesn't really matter and he doesn't even need to disappear. Wouldn't it be a better gamble just gambling with your money other ways? The vast majority of the times these are just straight-up scams and everybody loses out except the operator.

How do you know an Exchange (Cryptsy, BTC-E, Coinex) won't just shut its doors and take all of the money... you don't.  I've been on the site for 3 days and have been paid every day, that's a better track record than most of the similar operations out there right now.  They also have completely transparent logging so you can see every registration, deposit, and payout.

Reputable exchanges are a little bit different from a pyramid scheme/scam. And a good scam will rope you along offering payouts at less than what you've put in until they get the big money.

Have you actually been the site?  You're saying a lot of things I don't think you would say if you did any quick research.  There's nothing sneaky about it, there's even a calculator that shows you exactly how much you'll make for each level.  The payouts are exactly as advertised, and if you visit the site, you can look at the live logs and see who's made money so far and who is reinvesting.  I don't think it's as much of a conspiracy as you think; the operator has been honest with the users and is making a good bit of profit just by running the site (maintenance fee at every level reached).

The best scams will always appear or try to appear legitimate or transparent. Maybe it's not a scam, but most pyramids are and I'd be willing to bet there will be a lot of people who end up losing out at some point. And I'm not sceptical that he's making a good bit of profit.
16620  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Wallet Suggestion on: January 20, 2014, 09:13:15 PM
I think I like the idea of keeping it on my computer instead of in an online wallet. Just something about trusting other people with my money makes me uncomfortable. Lol But I have heard of the blockchain wallet before. Is that like the official blockchain? So maybe more reliable?  Huh

 I'll look into electrum. Thanks!

It's separate from the actual Bitcoin blockchain, and not the official online wallet as there is no official one, but it's as good as. Try the demo account feature there or just create one to have a play around with.
