So who decides what is a 'constructive post'? Or more to the point, what would be considered an unconstructive post?
Non-constructive posts are generally posts saying "+1" "(insert single image here)" "I agree!" "Good post" "Bump" + trolling / flaming. Constructive just means it's posts that contribute to the thread you're posting in. It's not complicated, just don't spam.  |

He stole money from me, (I suspect until proven in court) this guy is a pro who goes to bitcoin meetups and claims to be XYZ (in my case potcoin developer) he then uses social engineering to get into a victims computer, he then proceeds to infect all the users that victim has been emailing (knowing a bitcoiner probably has bitcoin friends) and stings them all. Hopefully he probably wont be doing it again (seeing as his picture is out there), but be warned, if you see this guy believe nothing he says, keep all electronics away from him and do not disclose any info to him. By his way of operation I would guess he was a hacker before bitcoin and saw an easy score by going to bitcoin meetups, if anyone else has been stung in a similar way please dont be shy and PM me, we should work together.
I'm sorry if this comes across as harsh but how does one let himself get fooled like this? It sounds unreasonably stupid. I am not the one that got socially engineered, it was my friend, I cannot attest to the exact method, but he is a smart guy and I wouldn't blame it on him. Anyways that is besides the point So basically he was very persuasive and manipulative? I guess you can't imagine the situation unless you're part of it yourself, but it seems odd to me. |

It seems like the time you have registered seems to be really important to your activity score.
It seems like you have not read any of the posts linking to an explanation or explaining the acitivity score. This seems to be really important when one wants to understand how this strange system works. I have, I'm not good at math though. You get 14 every 2nd week period if you post. It's not hard math. |

I couldn't believe when I read that Amazon said they weren't going to accept Bitcoin especially after Overstock's huge success with it. So Overstock's customers embraced Bitcoin and Amazon's won't?! What am I missing here?
When did they say they weren't going to accept Bitcoins? They haven't confirmed either, they're on the contrary saying they're not going to discuss rumors. However they haven't said "We'll never accept Bitcoins". That'd just be stupid. |

Paypal is an absolute fucking joke and a ponzi scheme.
The faster they go down, the better. We need more people to use Bitcoin for online transactions and more merchants to accept Bitcoin.
Fiverr.com is already accepting Bitcoin and it works EXTREMELY well on their site. I pay for all my fiverr transactions with Bitcoin and all my hosting as well.
The solution to destroying Paypal is simply not to use it.
Heard that too! how Paypal could be a ponzi scheme, really? I don't think he knows what a Ponzi is. Literally no way you could interpret their service as a ponzi. |

FYI, this thread is hilarious when you ignore everyone with paid advertising in their sigs.
Lol imagines the thread is like 5 - 10 posts tops ha-ha But then you miss B!Z joke lol And why would that matter? Do you think, in a scenario were there were no signature advertisements at all, that -none- of the people who chose to comment who currently has one of those, would've commented? Depends how interested they are in the topic really signatures aside although sigs are a part of the forum design even if they are unpaid ones. Yup, and not to forget there's an option to ignore ALL user's signatures. |

I'm gonna be honest here I still don't get the joke with the picture. 'To Loose Bitcoins' ?
Oh and I forgot, another one that drives me crazy is when people write "please advice" in an email.
What when who why would someone write "please advice"? In what context? I'm not complaining about them using the phrase, but rather that they stupidly write ADVICE instead of ADVISE. It has become so common I think some people think this is correct, ie it may not even be a type-o in many cases. It's very commonly in business emails. For example: "We still have not received the updated software that was due on April 10th. Please advise.." or "We cannot complete the schedule until we receive your availability, please advise" etc. (Only the dumbasses write please 'advice.') Ah. Well I know the difference between advice and advise, I just didn't understand what the error you were referring to was just from "please advice". |

Thanks. Seems like worth looking into.
It definitely is. If you're earning bitcoins rather than investing your own money into it it's a lot better than faucets and earn sites ( exceptions might be freelance working ) and 50 posts per month ( which most campaigns require ) is a very easy minimum to reach. |

"Let's tell Amazon that we want them to accept bitcoin!"
I did. It was a brief statement letting them know that I'd prefer to pay directly in bitcoin.
It's interesting to watch the struggle for adoption, especially for an online company. In the 90's people said "No one would ever put their credit card information online". There were so many headaches when dealing with online payments back then (still are a few).
I wonder how bitcoin would have been received 20 years ago (because that's at least how overdue this technology for cryptographic currency is)
Hopefully we won't have to wait several years for this to happen, as people nowadays are better at adapting to new technology. |

I'm wanting to carry my posts over into the next month as I've only made 39 posts this period since: Been very busy lately but might as well as enter again.
Starting posts: 583
Bitcoin address: 12oPBTzXnrsXD6kWoFcZ6tmzxgygpSzp1b
Thanks!
Since it is not set up on a tier system for your post count, it wouldn't really make a difference if you carried them over, or if you were paid out this month (as long as you at least hit the minimum post count for the month) I thought that we could carry < 50 posts over to the next month so that we can achieve the payout mark then? I've been so busy this month, so it would be great if I can carry them over Why not just make 11 posts in 1 day instead to meet the minimum 50 posts requirement? Would simplify things a lot for Stunna as well. It wouldn't complicate it really, as I simply wouldn't be claiming this month - so he wouldn't have to send any BTC  I'll only end up losing it on PD anyway  I guess I could muster up a few more posts and claim tomorrow or later this evening, always feel funny about making posts on the 'deadline' day. Usually takes them a bit of time to process all the payments as there's so many people in the campaign, so you probably have time. I'll try find a couple of interesting topics and post so then I can make a claim for this month then Seems like the easiest thing to do indeed. + You get paid so yeah :3 |

I always wonder how the brain of these people works:
Oh look, the price is low, looks like a good time to sell!
1 hour later:
Oh look, the price is higher now, let's buy some.
4 hours later:
Oh damn, the price is low again, i must sell before it goes up.
As long as they're doing it with their own money, it's fine. Doesn't affect us in the long run. |
