Sounds like an enjoyable afternoon. Got to work now, but maybe I'll give it a try later on!
What do you mean? You haven't played your own game?  Cool

Another quick question for folks, how many of you guys actively use Twitter on your computers?
I have four Twitter accounts, used for different reasons. Use two of them daily, and the other two a couple of times a week.


Thinking of an incentive/referral program that uses Twitter, have you heard of anything like this?

Not really, man. I think the biggest obstacle lies in tracking conversions once you scale things up.
Have you considered ads?
You could test things out with Bidvertiser. They have a $20 coupon for new advertisers.
Also, if you have an account with NameCheap, you could redeem a Twitter ad voucher.

I struggle to comprehend why some continue to defend the legitimacy of Maza. The Lakota 'nation' is not sovereign and has absolutely no legal authority to introduce any form of alternative currency.

But this is besides the point, because members of the tribal council have indicated since day one that they have not endorsed the coin. More than that, even the developer himself acknowledged as much in his own forum.

EduCoin (EDU) is an open source cryptocurrency that makes us smarter.  

I gotta say, as far as bold claims go, no alt coin can compete with you guys.  Wink

i think we are getting paid little by little..check your balances

Just checked - received about 5.8% of my deducted balance.

Also, to anyone wondering, I placed a BTC deposit yesterday to purchase some PTS, and and a few hours later made a successful withdrawal to Cryptsy.

47  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are people really prepared to let Mazacoin die? on: March 08, 2014, 06:00:22 AM
The lack of interest in the Wallstreet Journal Article (This is HUGE) strikes me as somewhat odd.

Mazacoin provides a sort of legal stability that no other coin, not even Bitcoin, has. Sure, Maza is subject to the same pump and dump and other risks that every other coin has, but it has one thing no other coin has. It's an indisputable official currency. If every government decides they don't like these coins (and they don't) and ban them tomorrow, where are we safe? Mazacoin.

Do people not understand what that means? Hell, even if you're only in it for the short term you have to recognize the value of the publicity surrounding this coin. Right now Maza is sitting at a Market Cap of about $ 2,941,865. Think about this. A total evaluation of wealth for the Lakota Native Americans of under three million dollars? Are you kidding me? These coins are three cents a piece right now. The Lakota tribe(s) are NOT small. This is a cryptocurrency revolution we're talking about.

I get the Auroracoin Pump and dump. It makes sense. But I think it's foolish for people to hold onto those coins hoping this guy does what Mazacoin has already done.

Ignoring short-term publicity and profitability entirely, I think it's well within reason that these coins hit a ten, twenty, or one hundred million market cap. We're talking the economic strength of tribes that hold the equivalent lands of all of South Dakota, plus all the investors.
3M is a pittance. Hopefully people realize this before it hits a dollar or more a coin.

Could you assist in clarifying a few details please?

(i) Has the Pine Ridge Reservation or Oglala Sioux's tribal council accepted MazaCoin as a sovereign currency, or at the very least, endorsed it?
(ii) In the event the tribal council accepts MazaCoin, are they empowered to do so under the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act? Or are they still under the direct authority of the Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs as well as the U.S. Secretary of Interior himself (both who naturally will consider the introduction of an alternative currency as illegal)?
(iii) Has any physical business accepted MazaCoin as legal tender?

Thanks.

EDIT:
Just saw this forum post by the developer.
"The AIM movement is currently not a fan of MazaCoin. Because the developers (myself included) are white. They believe it to be a "white man's scam" at this point. As for First Nations there may be more sympathy there, but so far they are silent."

I rarely play online games, but the scratch ticket was an intriguing concept, so I decided to participate.
The gameplay was simple to understand, and more importantly, the site was fast.
Lo and behold, less than 30 mins later, I had won almost $10!
Withdrawal was also effortless, with the funds arriving in my wallet within only a few minutes.

I don't know, maybe its just me, but the color scheme seems a little staid for my taste; and the reddish-orangy background, psychologically at least, might disincentivize some from participating.

Interesting. I haven't heard that from anyone but I do understand color has psychological effects on folks. Have you studied in this area?

No, but I've written on the subject before - specifically on its impact on online surfing. In brief, the color red is the easiest to spot and attracts the most attention. In small doses, it is an effective color to draw attention to specific items (buy signs, stop signs, traffic lights, etc). But on the whole, the color red tends to create avoidance responses. The reddish-orangy background I mentioned might, to a certain extent, reduce your CTR. Scientists postulate that this is an evolutionary adaptation, and subconsciously, we steer clear of the color red.

Here's an article by the Association of Psychological Science on the subject: https://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/news/releases/stop-on-red-a-monkey-study-suggests-that-the-effects-of-color-lie-deep-in-evolution.html

The way our site is designed, it is actually not too difficult to "A-B" test different color schemes. We have a lot on our plate right now, but will most likely give that a try in the near future. Thanks for the input.

No problem. MV testing is always a good move. There's a few software out there that can assist you as well - just Google them.

Mystical Potato, congratulations on a pretty impressive winning streak!!

If you get a chance, help us out and post to this thread some thoughts on your experience with the site.

Thanks! Won close to ten bucks in 20 odd mins, while surfing and smoking.
I'll write a truthful (and positive) review for you a little later. Finishing something up atm. Cheers.

The doxer from Newsweek, Leah McGrath Goodman https://twitter.com/truth_eater

At least she's handling her Twitter account with grace as people chime in.

I don't think she realizes she's poking at a hornets' nest. The bitcoin community is not some pushover and there are people in this community who will make her life difficult is antagonized the wrong way, and messing with the (potential) founder like this is certainly one of them.

Damn straight! Quick, somebody shop a red nose on her pic.



The first one that does it and PMs me wins $10 USD via BTC. That'll teach her not be messin' with us.

Sorry, I'm an extremist.
