Need more details. Are you mining solo? a pool? Have you checked your account settings? Could be just about anything.

The real fix would be to create a website that acts as a wallet and a rating system all in one. We're actually thinking about starting one.

This is not so surprising. Many people have invested large amounts of cash when it began climbing. Also, some of the guys from olden days have saved a lot of coin and presumably have made a lot of money in the process.

I think you're over-reacting. There are many trolls on this forum and the admins are just taking a simple extra precaution.

I'm not sure if you're just mocking bitcoin or if you're serious but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. We have just launched a lottery-type prize website that will give you a chance at winning some coins. It's free to sign up if you'd like to test your luck: btcprizes.com

This is awesome! Do you have to register just the one time, and you're automatically entered in every day's drawing?

If I win, I'm going to donate 10% of it back to the website to help keep it going Cheesy

You only have to register once to be automatically entered to every day's drawing.

Something tells me there is something going on here:
possibility #1 BTCprizes is a government employee.
possibility #2 There is a catch.
possibility #3 This guy had a really bad economic teacher who was paid by the government.*

I'm not saying businesses accepting bitcoins are bad, on the contrary I would love to see more businesses taking bitcoins as payment. I'm just saying this scheme wont help in anyway.

P.S. I'd love to see if he could prove there was actually more than one person behind this.


#1. I'm not sure how being a government employee would aid anything in this "scheme"?
#2. We are 100% nonprofit.
#3. We are well aware that giving away bitcoins is a loss for us.

By "we" I am referring to myself and two other developers. We happened to catch the train at an early time and aim at helping newcomers. Our goal is to simply shine some light on bitcoin usage alternative to being used as commodity trading.

There is none. We're not asking anything in return but to work as a community towards spreading bitcoin for practical use (help get more businesses realize the true potential of bitcoin and its use).

Hello everyone,

There's been a lot of speculative trading recently and that needs to change. If bitcoin is to survive we must start spending it and getting others involved in accepting it.

A small team of us has decided to give bitcoins away, like a faucet but in a lottery fashion where only one winner is selected every 24 hours. THIS IS NOT A LOTTERY in a sense where you're not obligated to buy a ticket. You're more than welcome to donate to the jackpot but this is not required (we are giving away our own coins).

The system is very simple: Winnings equal 1% of user-base, paid out every 24 hours with a grand prize at the end of the week that is not paid out in BTC.  For example: currently we have 19 users registered which equals 0.19 BTC jackpot paid to a randomly selected individual at the end of a 24 hour period. If 100 members register, the 24-hour winnings will equal 1BTC. Registration is free and open to anyone (however please see FAQ and TERMS) Note: the timer on the page refreshes every 10 minutes (we're working on improving this).

If you're interested in some free coins or know someone who's been interested and ambitious about bitcoins but hasn't had a chance to enter the market due to overspeculation please DO join!

We are working on adding more statistics at this time and we're open to your input.

Please see our terms and faq if you have any questions before asking here.

An army of trolls, sure!

I'm afraid this is not a bubble whatsoever, just an expected drop from speculation. The REAL bubble is much further ahead of us.
52  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So when will the drop in price stop? on: June 11, 2011, 11:38:22 PM
You should probably buy right now.
