Bitcoin's price has been tanking, and I'm leveraged long to the gills.
My continuing fail can't possibly be due to my greed & stupidity, so I'll just go ahead and insult strangers, instead of learning from my costly mistakes.

Fist bump?

...I found more than 3 of your comments insultive to other users...

You get a pass for being a foreigner from Greece, the land that gifted us with gyros, financial fraud and homosexuality, but "insultive" the sort of a thing that stupid people make up to sound smartiferous.  Even its existentionality is desputizable.

Seriously Lamby stop talking about child porn.
It's beyond weird.

Even as a joke why the hell are you searching it.
Keep it away from here please.

If the mods had any morals they would just blanket ban all his accounts: sporket, ask Ken about love, bromide, silence of the lamb etc etc.

And introduce newbie jail.

I realize how unpleasant it is to have your dirty little secrets trotted out for the world to see, but facts are facts.

YOU CAN NOT SILENCE THE TRUTH!

*LEOCoin is NOT associated with CP Cool

That's why Bitcoiners are so angry--because LEOCoin is not used in disgusting crimes like their Bitcoin is.

There is no legit reason for buying a   passport.
There is no legit reason for buying an account.

Where's the problem?

These analogies aren't really relevant and are a bit extreme in comparison, but there would be some valid reasons (though rare) to buy a passport but maybe you would disagree. You could buy a passport to evade the law if you've been unjustly or falsely accused of something (I'm thinking Edward Snowden here). Maybe one day the gov will come after bitcoin users for whatever unjust reasons and maybe some people would have no qualms in buying one if they knew they wouldn't get a fair trial.

By "legit," i mean "without intent to deceive."  Sometimes deception is warranted, but that's not the point here--the point is deception is the goal.  

Quote
As for legit reasons to buy an account 99% of people buy them for signature campaigns. It's not really comparable to selling your identity. It's just a forum handle.

As far as this forum is concerned, an account is your identity, just like a passport identifies you IRL.  I used the passport as an analogy, never suggesting that a forum account is a passport.  Analogies are just ...analogous.  Don't you agree that a passport is more analogous to a forum account than a 60" plasma TV?  If yes, that's all I set out to say (see my first post), and we agree with each other Smiley

As far as buying accounts for sig campaigns?  I was going under a naive assumption that people posted because they had something to say, and not to earn some change.  If those paying for sig campaigns knowingly support this sort of thing, some of the credit for bitcointalk's shittening, undoubtedly, goes to them.

Quote
Most of the people who sell accounts are just your faceless average Joes who nobody would even notice if they disappeared or their account was sold. Disallowing the sale of them would just push the activity offsite and underground and that is one of the main reasons they're permitted to be sold in the first place as it's largely unenforceable.

If sold accounts wore avatars clearly stating "I bought this account to spam the forum with ads in my sig," I wouldn't mind half as much.  I'm also sure those accounts would not net their sellers quite as much coin.  

I also wouldn't mind it if buying/selling of accounts was not sanctioned by this forum.  Just like I''d be sad if rape became sanctioned in US, "because only a small percentage of rapists are brought to to justice anyhow, so we'll just let them rape right in the middle of the town square--otherwise they'd just do their raping in dark alleys."

"batshit crazy Bitcoin cultist" is too long.

Like "batshit crazy Bitcoin hater"?

I doubt that there are too many people who actually hate Bitcoin as a concept.  That would, indeed, be crazy--like hating the number 27, or Special Relativity.  I also doubt too many manage to hate Bitcoiners, i.e. "batshit crazy Bitcoin cultists."  That's like hating people with bad personal hygiene--I might not enjoy being in close proximity to them, like in an elevator or a checkout line, but hate?  Nah.

Now, finding Bitcoiners to be an excellent source of guileless, childlike laughter?  Count me in Smiley

I thought so too until he started to refer to "you Bitcoiners" ...

Not everyone involved with Bitcoin is a Bitcoiner, just like not everyone who uses drugs is a junkie.  Because "batshit crazy Bitcoin cultist" is too long.

Probably because he either has one he wants to join on or wants to rat someone else out  Grin.

I do have a senior account, though, oddly enough, it was mine all along.  
As far as "rat someone else out," no.  'Sides, wouldn't be very ratty if op approves of bought/sold accounts Smiley

@OP: Just idle curiosity, wondering just how low this place has sunk.
12  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcoin Talk account hacked any way to recover? on: April 06, 2015, 09:51:22 PM
OK, asked OP in the sig campaign how he feels about purchased accounts.  Waiting for reply.

Re. PMs:  Oddly enough, there's throwaway email, IRC, TORChat, and, you know, normal email.
Surprised that a community priding itself in tech prowess didn't think of these Undecided

BTW, do you buy/sell forum accounts?
13  Economy / Services / Re: DaDice Signature Campaign - 'Da' BEST Yet | HIGHEST RATES! | JOIN THE FUN! on: April 06, 2015, 09:43:43 PM
OP, how do you feel about senior accounts that could be verified as bought & sold (no longer belonging to original owner)?
Do you approve?
14  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcoin Talk account hacked any way to recover? on: April 06, 2015, 09:32:55 PM
You have to wait 6 minutes between posts and can only send 5 PMs per hour which makes it extremely difficult to conduct business, especially when you have close to 4,000 PMs in your inbox. It drops to 74 seconds when you have 15 activity and 60 seconds with 60 activity and still have severely restrictive PMs limits.

So, let me get this straight, a brand new bitcointalk user has has 4,000 PMs?  ohyou.gif

You can earn .0015 per post with a hero account so you could make .6 per month by making 400 posts which is not unrealistic

Where?  Link?

Yeah it took way too much.

Bulls wanna drag shit out as long as possible.

Signature deals, don't have to wait as long between posts/PMs having an avatar, getting to own something that is scarce/rare.

There is no waiting time for anything but a brand new account, and that time is, as I remember, 3 minutes.  
Sig campaigns?  As I understand it, the account in question was bought for .75 BTC.  Just how much do these sig campaigns pay?

But sure, passports also have uses beyond identifying the holder--I bought a passport to prop up a table with a short leg.
I bought a Sig Sauer to use as a hammer, trying to fix that rickety table, but I guess I'm not much of a carpenter, so passport fix it is Undecided
How's that?

Willing to sell it to you for 0.75BTC the amount I bought it for.

So, I just want to make sure I understand. According to your logic here, if someone broke in to my house, and made off with my 60" Plasma TV, then sold it to someone, I would be expected to pay the person back who bought it from the thief? ...
No. It is more like he went to the OP's house, paid for it and didn't get a receipt. Then the seller is claiming that he did not actually sell the TV

The analogy would work a bit better if we substitute "passport" (or "ID") for "Plasma TV."
nope because there is no real reason to sell your passport however there are legit reasons to sell your bitcointalk account.

Passports are bought and sold, because valuable.  By buying a passport, one could misrepresent oneself as the passport's previous owner.
Accounts  are bought and sold, because valuable.  By buying an account, one could misrepresent oneself as the account's  previous owner.

A passport has little value outside of identifying the person who holds it & establishing a link with said person's past history.

Only a person wishing to deceive--to obfuscate his real identity--would purchase a passport.

Limitations? Have you ever developed your own shopping cart to sell something online and sign on up with a 3rd party processor who not only takes a % of every sale but also charges you $x per month, and sign up for SSL? With bitcoin you can set up your own webstore in a few hours, no 3rd party payment processors fees, no SSL, more money for the merchant, better prices for the people. But you're not for the people, are you?

 You can set up a "web store" to take Doge just as easily.  While you're at it, don't bother with SSL or even buying a domain name.
Set it up on TOR, as a hidden service, you'll have just about as much business Cheesy

Really? You refute my point about crytocurrency convenience by suggesting I use a spinoff altcoin instead. A altcoin that was created after and only exists because of bitcoin? BTC FTW, maybe I'll flick a satoshi your way one day when your sleeping the street using a curb as a pillow.

What is it that makes you Bitcoiners so dour & angry?
Were you all this unpleasant before buying into this BTCeanie BTCabies fad investing in Bitcoin?
