Hah, I would've put some more effort into my pig if I had realized there was an interest! I just literally googled "Cute pig" and copied the cutest one I could find. Wink

^ Claims to be Dorian's brother. Posted an image of his license as proof. Arthur suggests that Dorian has memory issues and confirms that he suffered a stroke.

Hmm....

Even if that is the case, even more reason to leave dude alone. Clearly hes not healthy.
You're absolutely right. Time to let go of those wild speculations and leave the man alone and let him live his life.

I know I post a lot about ponzis lately.
But guys, please try to listen so we can avoid future crybabies posting about the money they lost to a ponzi and bashing the forum for advertising them.
The first person got paid. Ok. Don't take that as evidence that this ponzi is legitimate. They all start out the same. The first few investors get paid, then there's a slight hold, more investments go in. Boom. Owner disappears, and a few people have lost their deposits. Op WILL scam you, no matter what he says. There has no been a ponzi in the history of ponzis that hasn't ended in the owner shutting it down and running with the profits.

That said, - Some people will get a profit. Just make sure you don't invest anything you can't afford to lose.
This is just general advice. Hope you found it helpful.

Peace.

the truth is that I opened another Ponzio I want to do as well as other normal to have a Ponzi who runs it is my goal to bring good fortune to the people that I turn to earn a little fee
Nobody running a ponzi has honest intents. Nobody.

Peace.

You're assuming Satoshi is one individual. This might ( for all we know ) be completely untrue. As someone suggested, it could be a codename for a project, or a group of people.
2007  Other / Meta / Re: Proposal: Disallow Ads in Signatures on: March 08, 2014, 11:55:49 PM
Most of the ad campaigns nowadays check if the user spams and ask specifically for the user to make meaningful post. Ad campaigns are also currently the best way for people new to Bitcoin to earn some for themselves. So, no, ads in signatures are good (at least for now). For example me myself is in an ad campaign and I enjoy helping others with their problems and earn small amounts of Bitcoins myself, only if people tip others for helpful posts then the community may be enriched and people won't resort to ad campaigns = helpful posts only and minimal spam

In most of the Bitcoin world, ad campaigns don't check anything at all. They send off their cheap hounddogs to spam the message into all places conceivable and count on the fact that - worst case - it's not them that get into trouble but their ad vehicles (people posting or piggybacking Ads in their signatures).
The only step further down into the mud would be spam-bots, but those aren't advanced enough to initiate and simulate human conversation. Plus, they are forcefully kept out of Forums (captchas etc.) where possible.

There are exeptions, but these are extremely scarse.
Most people don't spam. Their posts might not be the most necessary, or add that much to an ongoing discussion.
The bots you're speaking of exist on this forum, but mainly to get activity up to then sell the accounts. They're not bots to advertise.

And how about this. When we change the restrictions of the bitcointalk signature to what it is today, higher activity accounts become more valuable than ever. To me, this is a clear incentive for people to release their posting bots into the forums, because they are now able to sell their accounts, and will in the future as well.

There are more than 1 hole to poke through the benefits of this change.

Great pool, I had fun jumping through the history of this thread.  Should have read it before I bought a used Jalapeno, I would have seen the posts back in May 2013 explaining how with the difficulty increases and increases in overall hashing, 5GH would only earn good BTC rates for a while.  Oh well, at least my miner contributes to the Bitcoin network in general Smiley
Did you seriously just make a non relevant comment to a non relevant 3 year old thread? You're a newbie, I get it, you want to get your activity up. But at least post your useless comments on active threads, if you're gonna spam at all.

The discussion has circled a bit by now. Everyone is aware of that people like you ( lots and lots of people with you ) that actually just want to make a bit of money doing something that they otherwise would do anyways are getting punished for something a minority of stupids do.
Newbie restrictions would be better, or better report a post functions.

Unnecessarycoin:

- Block every 5 seconds
- Difficulty retarget twice per block
- 10 coins in the genesis block, increasing exponentially each block
- After 10^90 blocks, rewards cease and are replaced by a mandatory 100% transaction fee
- 80% premine
- Logo has a photo of a Yorkshire terrier
That seems quite.. unnecessary..? I like it.
2015  Other / Meta / Re: The cancer that is Ponzi on: March 08, 2014, 11:38:32 PM
IMHO stupid people will always do stupid things... and there's a whole industry to capitalize on exactly that.

When people send money into a site that advertises as "The trusted Ponzi !" *lol* then there's no hope for these fools. Let them play, let them fail. They'll never learn anyway, this is beyond their capabilties...
Stupid may occasionally run out of money - but he'll never run out of stupid.
This is quite accurate. The only people I see complaining about ponzis are those who have been foolish enough to invest in them.

Oh yeah, I don't know how to delete them or if you can delete them, had a poll up before so I just put in some letters to replace it, might put up a real one later though Cheesy
Aha. I think I saw a thread asking about how you delete them, and it seems like you can't, oddly enough. Shouldn't be too hard for the admins to change, and I see no reason not to. Oh well.

How much should a member hope to get if he posts 50 times a week?
We are trying to design a program that works well for folks that post 50 times per week as well as only 3 or 4 times per week. Stay tuned and I will answer this question before the weekend is over.
Exciting. I think that system would surely make you able to get a lot of more people to use your signature, but aren't you at the same time afraid that you won't get enough traffic to your website with these campaigns for it to be worth paying people with the advertisement? Less posts less banners, less people clicking, seeing your name etc.

With that said, I think a lot of the reason people are using forum advertising campaigns is to show the rest of the community that they pay their workers, and by doing so building a good reputation with the community that's supposed to visit your website. I think for example Primedice has earned more from the signature campaign itself rather than the banners on the website, because everyone knows that Stunna is a legitimate person, with good trust and a good reputation.

Tl;dr, This might work very well for you, at least I hope so. Smiley

You are pretty much correct. The CPC I see from the signature program isn't that great (especially since the new signature restrictions went into place). So, I am not doing this purely to generate new users, but also to build a "brand" across the forum. I think PrimeDice has done a great job and you are right, Stunna has build a good reputation.

What if we made things simple and paid per post, same rates as PrimeDice, but paid out daily (automatically)? What do people think? We would pay for "constructive" posts only, like PrimeDice.
Wow, if you managed to do that I think you'd get a lot of people here. I'm just worried that you're going to lose more than you gain, because your deal is almost too good.

Why wouldn't it be, is it perhaps a bad neighborhood?
