I agree - precisely why I said what I did.

Perhaps through campaigns like YoBit, that require campaign participants to visit their site?

Well, the forum itself poses no such restriction: you're free to create and use however many accounts as you wish (with or without paid signatures), provided you (or those sharing your IP) don't spam, or break other basic forum rules.

However, some signature campaigns do explicitly prohibit users from joining with more than one account, and will ban (from their campaign) and deny payment to anyone caught (or believed to have been caught) doing so - although, simply having the same IP as another user is probably not enough for someone to act on, but I could be wrong.

Welcome back, Jcga - FrueGreads will add you to the list shortly.

In the meantime, please make sure to re-read the rules; we've made a couple of changes since the last round.

EDIT: oh, forgot to ask: what address will you be using in the competition, Jcga?

No, the registration period hasn't started yet (but should very soon, as Republikcoin.com pointed out). As soon as it does start, participants should use the Registration Thread¹ to register.

1 - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1248467

Thread title suggestions are welcome.

And yes, the registration period will start very soon - check back tomorrow, or so.

We should know more in the next few days - sit tight.

No, we will be maintaining the same three threads we have now, and new announcements (relating to dates, prizes, updates, or whatever else) will be made here.

Yes, there will be a rollover requirement of 1000 points for each of the 30 mBTC daily bonus. However, to avoid the withdraw restriction you mentioned, participants can request that the bonus be issued in DOGE instead of BTC (or vice-versa) - this will place the restriction on DOGE, while allowing BTC to be used, or withdrawn, normally.

Right... because they really needed those 500 episodes to "warm up", before getting to the good part.

It might indeed be wishful thinking that they will re-open the campaign again, as you seem to be suggesting, but that isn't always the case. It wouldn't be the first time a signature campaign returns after pausing for a period of time, often with a new model and/or payment structure - in fact, hasn't BitStarz gone through that before as well?

Those 100 mBTC refer to the minimum bankroll participants will have to start the competition with (in other words, how much BTC they start with, and from where the BTC for each bet is "deducted" from; with the expectation that: that amount will have to last for the whole competition, and that they will ideally end up with a higher bankroll than they started with).

Now, as mamansuherman was getting at, that doesn't mean you have to bet with that whole amount each time - in fact, the stake for each bet must be between 1% and 5% of your current bankroll (the amount of BTC you currently have), as described in the Main Rules 4, and 4.1 (the specific amounts might change for the next round, however).


By the way, let's use the Discussion Thread¹ instead, and leave this thread only for participants to post bets in.

Well, sure... but we would prefer to keep the competition limited to the betting abilities of the participants - Wendigo was suggesting bitbollo was trying to get rid of the other competitors by having them disqualified / unable to enter future events (specifically, because they have received some negative feedback).

Is there place for one more?

Come on, bitbollo...

Hi, Vinzzila. Short answer is: not yet, and not here.

Registrations for the next competition aren't open yet (we'll post about it when we have a better idea of when it will open), and should be made in the registration thread (which you can access here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1248467).

Well, the following competitions will probably still make use of this thread, at least for participants to post their bets - registrations for, and discussions about, the competition will be made in the appropriate threads, which you can see in the OP.

In any case, as soon as we work things out with DirectBet, we will make posts in all three threads to inform everyone about when the next round will start, changes to the rules, prizes, and so on.

Well, first, we'll have to review how this round went, and consider changes to rules and prizes. After that's done, we'll have a better idea of how soon we can restart the competition.

In short, we'll let you all know as soon as we do.

While I certainly agree with the latter part of your post (and indeed, went even further in some of my previous posts here), I wonder on what you're basing the former on; specifically, what proof is there of biological life on other planets? That's certainly not a widely accepted view (the idea that there probably is, yes, but not that it is proven in any way).

I am planning on saving my coins, as much as possible, until the time I get most/all of my income in BTC, and have avenues to spend them on daily goods (which unfortunately, I don't have, around here) - how long would that be? I don't know, or care; I'll hold until then. However, I might stop (or eventually be forced to stop) doing so if I believe there is evidence of a major flaw with Bitcoin - I might have to jump ship to some (not copy-pasted) alt at that point.

Alright; and, in other circumstances, maybe that would be a valid case to make¹ - but it's kind of beside the point. The truth is, Portugal isn't a "guided democracy"², and Anibal Cavaco Silva wasn't a dictator: he was elected; performed his duties (I won't say well, but at least) within the bounds of his office; and, considering his term is ending, the next president was recently elected³ (Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa) and will take his place in a little over a month.

1 - although, it wasn't that long ago that Portugal got rid of its dictatorship (1974), so any such arguments are not likely to find a lot of sympathy with the natives.

2 - well, to the extent that most Western countries aren't, which is debatable, I admit, given the constraints of the European Union, and/or the overwhelming influences of countries like the United States and, to a lesser extent, Germany.

3 - in fact, I'm not sure if they have finished counting all the votes yet (although the outcome is clear): www.rtp.pt/noticias/eleicoes/presidenciais/2016.

Neither; they're unknown objects - you can't go from that to "so the choices are, they are either military aircraft, or alien aircraft"¹.
