Yeah its seems a bit nuts that i can not post in most places. How long until I am? Is it 10 posts? Where can I post up until then? Just here?
Do I have to have a certain number of characters in each post like someone suggested. How many?

I only have a few k of several alt coins and i've missed out on a couple of possibly profitable trades because of the time it''s taken to send coins to cryptsy (doge took nearly 12 hours and didn't appear for about 200+ confirms recently although a few days ago deposits were only taking 6 or 7 confirms. So i'm wondering how many coins to people keep in their exchange accounts that they consider optimum in case of loss by them vs ease of trading?
It's always better to keep them yourself, but this depends on your circumstances if you want to keep them at cryptsy for ease of use. If the website goes down or is hacked there's a good chance you've lost them. |

I've used escrow on this forum before for trading securities (friedcat shares), but how does escrow work for buying/selling physical items?
Does the seller mail the item to the escrow while the buyer pays to the escrow? And then the escrow is responsible for mailing the item to the buyer?
Also haven't been active in a while. Any ideas who are the most popular escrows these days?
Thanks.
The buyer sends the money to the escrower then seller sends the item to the buyer. When the buyer has received the item he tells the escrower and he releases the funds. Make sure to send the item via signed-for delivery service in case of disputes. |

never, why do so much users ask about this  I think I answered this question around 10 times at least.. it's due to a hack attack on the forum and now no one can change their avatar, if you have none you will have none in the future if you have 1 you're stuck with it  Lol there are a bunch of questions that would make for a good FAQ section, but you can bet that 10% at most of new users will read it  Although weirdly enough there's no y can't I change my avitar? even though it's Whiskers (the guy who compiled the FAQ) pet peeve. |

So I have to write 5 posts before I can write somewhere, this is ridiculous. How can I think of five things to post when I can't actually post on most of the board? Should I write some poetry? Something to amuse you lot?
Also I kept getting this on my very first post:
"The last posting from your IP was less than 360 seconds ago. Please try again later."
How can I have posted within the last 6 minutes if I've never posted?
You need one post. And log-ins and attempted posts count which reset the timer. |

For small amounts, I much prefer to use the email function on blockchain.info. I think Coinbase has something similar. Much faster, easier, and more user-friendly than paper wallets.
What's this email function all about? |

I would suggest buying some NXT. It is the most innovative crypto-currency on the market. Some argue that it is actually more innovative than bit coin
Some will argue that it's not as well  . |

Hi everyone, i'm newbie too, can someone explain why my messages are sticked to 14??
Your activity is 14, you have 34 posts (check your profile). Your activity can go up a maximum of 14 for every two weeks or so (somebody can correct this if I am wrong) provided that you log in and post on the forums. Ok thanks, but you mean that i have to wait 2 weeks before removing the 260seconds post limit? It's very annoying... It's 360 seconds. The time limit goes down the more activity you get. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
Activity is updated every 30 minutes. |

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone of you has already experience with that site: http://bitcoinpyramid.comThey claim you are paid in BTC if: - you add referals - or deposit BTC As far as I understand they earn money via ads and give part of that to random members, you get more if you have deposited some BTC with them and if you have more referrals. Depositing BTC with them seems a bit shady to me but if they make the payout from part of their ad earnings it might be fine. What do you think? Any help will be appreciated  Any pyramid schemes are dodgy in my opinion. I'd stay away and not waste your time with pyramids and also most referral links. |

don't listen to these cats...mining litecoin is still profitable. unless you live in Australia and pay out the ass for power. however, I expect it will rise in the future so even if not profitable at this very moment...holding the coins and waiting for it to take off again will still net you profits in the long run
Is it profitable to mine on a iphone?  |

I am interested in buying an item from an ebay seller, who says in description that he also accepts X amount of bitcoin. If I send the bitcoin (instead of just paying with fiat via PayPal), what's stopping him saying I didn't pay and not sending the item?
If I take screenshots of every step of the BTC transaction, will this hold up if a pay dispute occurs? Is there any way of doing this without getting scammed?
Also I assume the receiving address he sent me via ebay PM is new, as it does not show up after a search in blockchain. He is asking for me to send a small amount, then to send the full amount once he confirms the smaller amount has been received.
Any thoughts?
As others have said it's very likely you'll be scammed here. Direct him over to this forum and tell him you'll do the deal providing he uses a trusted escrow. |

I don't want to look like a time/money lurker, begger or whatsover but I were wondering if a memeber kind as you are would loan me 0.01 for 1-2 days. Thanks for reading and congratulations to be one of the most high quality posters of the forum. hmm.. scam? If this guy is only trying to scam for $1, then I have no idea... What do you need it for? |

I just signed up. So can I get any altcoin they deal with sent directly there with my trade key?

I dont know, but maybe the main thread topic (README) has something to say about this.
Nope, they were disabled due to a hack. There's no estimate when they'll be back. |

Hi all, just got a short question: Why can't I send PMs to other members? I am registered now since a few days on bitcointalk. Do I have to do something special to be able to do that? Thanks for your answers MegaBTC Read the newbie readme sticked in this forum. |
