In addition to the games already mentioned, you also have GoldenTowns and PipsTycoon, where you can withdraw in-game currency to BTC.

The first game, GoldenTowns, is fairly well known already; it has you managing a small town of your own, while you fend off attacks from other cities, participate in the political process of your country, and look for ways to make Gold.

The second game, PipsTycoon, is a more recent version of MarketGlory; it's sort of a RPG, as you have to work every day, make sure to eat, buy clothes, and so on - but on top of it, it allows you to create and manage companies, trade in stocks, propose legislation with game wide effects, and a lot more. However, since the game is still in Beta, there are a lot of bugs and missing / constantly changing features; further, you have to verify your phone before you can work in-game.

Instead of looking at pay per post campaigns, it might be better to simply join a fixed payment campaign; they don't usually require a lot of posts, and the pay rate for each post is much higher, even for lower member ranks.

Sure; trading and other investments can yield very high ROI, but don't forget to add they usually carry a huge risk as well - not everyone's cup of tea.

Overall, I agree with Possum577, and all the others before him, that suggested simply working for the BTC - you get better at your trade, and risk far, far less.

It seems to have been caused by a pipe bomb placed outside the Erawan Shrine - perhaps targeted for being a tourist attraction, or maybe somehow related to the anti-government protests from 2010: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/aug/17/bangkok-rocked-by-explosion-at-busy-road-junction.

To the best of my knowledge, that is an unrelated event.

I'm sorry WoahYum-, but how do we know whatever money is raised will actually go to Wikileaks? No offense, but considering the amount of scams that go on around here all the time, I would suggest you get a trusted forum member to hold the funds in escrow, instead of them being sent directly to your address.

That's alright. Thanks for accepting me into the campaign.

Payment received - thank you.

All the best for the future.

I would also like to join - can I?

I will add the avatar shortly.

I can't really help in relation to the second question, but a good starting point for the first could be inquiring in the "Marketplace > Goods > Computer Hardware" section of the forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=75.0) - there are always a few threads from users selling them, and a lot more threads from users buying them.

That certainly looks good, but going by the hosting options and pricing put forward in their site (https://www.hashingspace.com), I think there are probably more economical options out there.

By the way, a previous (albeit small) thread on this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1145918.0.

Well, to be fair, this doesn't really prove them wrong: no one will deny that people win the lottery regularly despite the odds, but everyone knows beforehand it's only a gamble - potentially, a very profitable gamble but, if you can afford it, and you're into gambling, why not?

After you take into consideration the previous posts, you can use one of the online calculators to have a basic idea of what, if any, profit you would make (excluding costs for setting up and maintaining the equipment): http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency.

Going by the guidelines of the Marketplace section, it's probably a good idea for you to delete the previous bumps:


Also, I have to agree with the previous users that asked you to add your portfolio, or at least some small examples of your work, to the OP; it doesn't really have to be something terribly elaborate, or even examples of previous work - just something that will both more easily attract potential buyers, and immediately show them what they can expect from you (and if you can set up a website for your business, even better). Without a few examples, this thread will likely not receive as much attention as it could otherwise.

The OP already stated 4.2 LTC is all he has:


And, no offense altcoinhosting, but ideally, you should always use escrow to hold the collateral.

Different, but similar username, and requesting the BTC be sent to a different address than that stated in the OP? You wouldn't be trying to take advantage of this thread would you?

I don't think anyone here is trying to convince baristor to mine; people are advising him on what to expect if he decides to do so, whether or not the price of the miner is favorable, what costs he will incur in, how to make those calculations for himself, and so on.

Now, you bring up a good point: space, cooling costs, noise - no one else brought these up, and they're important (certainly something he would need to plan ahead for); but maybe you should have started off with that, instead of pointing him to the increase in difficulty (I certainly still have a lot to learn when it comes to mining, but it seems to me we will likely not be seeing the dramatic increases in difficulty we saw in the past again, unless some new far, far more efficient miner comes along and surprises everyone). Likewise, it's not very helpful to call him a troll, spammer, ignorant, or time traveler.

That's somewhat of an exaggeration, I think; you can't look only at difficulty. If baristor had cheaper electricity (say, $0.05 as was suggested; and in some parts of India power costs even less), and depending on how much cheaper he would manage to get the miners for (ideally, less than $90), I don't think it would be unrealistic to believe he would have a decent chance to reach ROI within a few months (maybe 5 or 6 months, depending on difficulty increase and bitcoin price). It's definitely not a safe bet, but it could have been one baristor was willing to take.

Now, with power at $0.10, and miners at $120 each, it would probably take over a year to ROI, assuming difficulty wouldn't increase (and assuming bitcoin price doesn't change a lot in the meantime) - so that doesn't look like a good deal.

There is also Gimp (http://www.gimp.org); it has many of the same functions available in Photoshop, including the one everaja mentioned (I believe Gimp refers to it as Clone Tool) - and best of all, it's free.

But I also agree with newflesh: just ask for permission to use the image Aleator. Depending on your use case you might have to give credit to the author somehow, but most people on Deviantart will be happy that their work is getting attention, and are probably willing to help out and / or reach some sort of compromise.

Por acaso, estava a ver as opções de depósitos e levantamentos no jogo, e n sei se encontrei um bug ou assim, porque tentei e consegui levantar através de Bitcoin apenas $3^* (quase tudo o que tinha ganho até aqui no jogo) - quando na parte de levantamentos realmente diz que o mínimo são $5.

O que aconteceu foi que fui ao Cashier, mas em vez de ir directamente a levantamentos, fui a depósitos através de Bitcoin; aí temos também a opção de Withdraw em cima, mas nessa parte o mínimo é 0.01 BTC (actualmente um pouco menos de $3).

I imagine you can simply make use of escrow, if you're concerned - bitcoin is irreversible, yes, but once the OP renders a project and shows the buyer the results, he can't really reverse that decision either, so an escrow should be able to completely protect both parties.

No, just an example of pareidolia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia) - in this case, perceiving a familiar visual pattern where there is none.
