You can only get upto a max of 14 activity points per two week period. The next period starts on June 10th. The following will be a timetable for you providing you make the required posts:

1 X 14 = 14 You are here now
2 X 14 = 28
3 X 14 = 42 Jnr Member [June 24th]
4 X 14 = 56
5 X 14 = 70 Member [July 22nd]
6 X 14 = 84
7 X 14 = 98
8 X 14 = 112
9 X 14 = 126 Full Member [sept 16th]

I'm a bit confused because your numbers indicate earning 14 activity per ONE week (but in your commentary you say it's a TWO week period). Which is it?

Each period is roughly 2 weeks long, or more precisely 1210000 seconds long (14 days 6 minutes 40 seconds). Smiley
I don't think they change exactly two weeks of you being active. They follow a schedule, I registered and got 14 activity and days later, after I post it increase to 28 activity. It isn't exactly two weeks but you have to be active during that period of last activity increase to the time of new activity increase.

Is that just me, but investing in cloud mining is dead, unless you are hosting and selling those gh/s by yourself ?
Not only you. It is either they charge the price of the GH too high or the maintainence fees too high. There isn't any reason for them to sell GH if they can actually mine themselves and profit.

I'd agree in terms of tradng gh/s and stuff. But lunamining seems like it could potentally ROI... that is if they stay alive long enough.
Provided that difficulty increase rate stays the same, it would be possible to ROI. Given that a lot of ASICs are being shipped, I would expect a 20% increase if bitcoin gains attention and more miners join. The fact that they actually sells mining contract rather than keeping them means that they realise there are a significant amount of risk in this investment therefore selling them and migrating the risk.

This is pretty nice. Maybe you should contact Stunna about this! It would be nice if you could decrease the loading time.

Loading time maybe is issued cuz he probably use some free host that is ok btw.
For other concerns can u make it that any1 from PD can check his earning that will be good only to import his username on forum or something.

And definitely contact Stunna about this this is really unique project.
It should take a while since he have to fetch the info. Speed shouldn't really be at the top priority. I agree this is quite a good source of info to use. Any plans for setting the enrollment date? A good suggestion will be the post count to reset at every 17th of the month.

Hi Singapore!

How many are working Bitcoin ATMs there at the moment?
Do they both do cash deposit and withdrawals? Any fees during cash outs?
Thanks Smiley

Saw one in Bartini Kitchen the other day which offers cash in and out Smiley not sure about fees but won't be a lot  Wink

Anyone located near Central area?
Lamassu operated by BitcoinATMsg is a good choice. Although it doesn't withdraw your BTC, you can buy BTC with it quickly. It is easily located, just go to City Hall MRT station and you would be able to find City Link mall from there. Walk a little distance and you would locate it easily. It is near the TCC.

Aiyo, City Hall so far though. I live in Central area. :S
Agree, I live in the north area and it takes an hour to reach there. There isn't much BTC ATM here. I only go there when I need BTC urgently or to purchase large amount of BTC.

hi

i have 3 question.... Tongue

1) i have some bit-coin hold it or sell worried about crush  Undecided

2) its very important me to know how i can mine bit-coin ? i have one pc & a laptop what should i need to mine? how many cost in $ ? how many can i earn from a week.?

3) Mine or invest ? Pb mining or somewhere else ?

waiting for your answer ..... Wink

3. depends, i recommend you hosted mining if you're a busy person try ghash.io
Hosted mining wouldn't make ROI, they can either run away after a short period of time or overpriced them. There isn't much reason to allow people to rent their hashrates if they can mine themselves and make a profit.
8547  Other / Meta / Re: remove limits from bitcointalk.org account on: July 26, 2014, 02:46:40 AM
We can whitelist users, but their position remains same.

Are there any other effects of being whitelisted , other than a reduced posting cooldown ?

A moderator bestowed custom privileges could be useful.
EG :- An established member wishes to make a new official account for their site , they could have the same posting cooldown as their main account would have and also be able to put a link to their site in the signature immediately.
I would like to see a feature when a user could pay a small amount to the forum in order to have the posting (but not PM) limits lifted. This would still limit the number of scams by preventing people from scamming via PM, and making it expensive to even to try to scam in public, and generate some level of additional revenue (that the forum may or may not need) in the process.
The problem is newbies do not have much BTC. If newbies want to post urgently, they can't reduce the time limit. Whereas, if a spammer want to spam up the forum, they can create new accounts and spam up the forum. This isn't very expensive.

maybe stunna is doing the fix price also to reduce the amount of spammer here i hope the pay per activity rate is much better than the rate today

I prefer low rates than pay per activity. Pay per post is very clear.. if a post is not constructive simply don't pay that post  Smiley
Not very logical if you have a hundred participants and you have to check every one of the post to make sure it is constructive. It does consume time and more BTC than pay per activity. By using pay per activity, Stunna can pay lower while the signature will appear on all of the user's post.

You can move the wallet to linux

Install bitcoin-qt in linux ( ubuntu ) and move the existing wallet.dat to that

This makes the wallet more secure than windows

If he used it on Windows before, it would be pretty much useless. Your wallet.dat might be exposed to all kinds of malware on Windows. Therefore, if you move it to Linux, the attacker would have your key and can steal your BTC.
8551  Economy / Lending / Re: What would i need to do for a 3k loan in btc? on: July 25, 2014, 09:22:39 AM
For a loan this size you'll definately need collateral if you want to loan here, preferably 120% of the value in some form of a stable altcoin.

You will need to pay interest, this can be negotiated with the person providing the loan and depending on in which timeframe you can pay the loan back.

You probably will have to provide how you are going to pay back the loan within the timeframe of the loan.

You can also take a look at websites specialized in BTC loans like BTCJam.

I have 6 million dogecoin..

Those 6 million dogecoin should get you a loan for about 1.8 BTC.

You will probably need to get the rest somewhere else like BTCJam.

Make a post here saying you want to loan 1.8 BTC (or less), say that you have 6 million dogecoin as collateral (120%)

Provide how much interest you can pay to the person giving you the loan and when you can pay the loan + interest back. Also probably provide how you intend to pay the loan back (job, mining, whatever).

It's probably the safest if you send the collateral to a trusted escrow unless the person giving you the loan is very trustworthy.
Because of the fact that dogecoin is dropping so fast, lenders usually require more than 120% of the collateral since it is relatively unstable.

2) You can mine alt coins and then sell them for bitcoin.
Given that alt coins can be a pump and dump, it may not be profitable. Alt coin is less stable than bitcoin and can crash at any moment, once it crash, you would be wasting your whole time mining.,

people should post less here....it's not in the interest of our boss.....and in consequence not ours

Who's our boss? This is not a job. This is him paying you in-exchange for renting him your signature space. If people are talking about the most "fair" way to do this, its pay by post. A user that posts 500-600x a month is worth more than a user that posts 50, 60x a month. Why? Because each post is another time his ad is shown. Thats all there is to it. I post a couple hundred times a month and will continue to do so regardless of whether this campaign continues, but if people really want to cut down on spam, making it so that you only need to post 50x to receive the max payment would make buying accounts that much more popular. Just post 50x, bam. Next account. In order to get a good return with pay per post they would need to post several hundred times a month, which is just not possible to do on multiple accounts. I don't even see all this spam people are talking about, but that may just be because I only ever post in the marketplace / project development sections really.

Whatever Stunna does is fine, I would like to thank him for giving people a good way to get an extra $50 bucks of BTC every month and keeping this forum active
When you have a job, you go to work and perform the work that your boss asks you to do in exchange for your salary. I would agree that this is not a "job" but rather members here are more like independent contractors.

When people are paid by the post they have an incentive to post more, and to not post things that would likely be read (meaning a lot of spam) this would cause the effectiveness of each post to go down.

Yes, they have an incentive to post more if they are being paid on a per post basis, but what's wrong with this (from an advertiser's point of view) as long as their posts remain constructive and contribute to the discussion? If you begin spamming, scamming, or trolling, you risk forfeiting your payment altogether... Cool

Even posting in this thread keeps it on top in the Services section of the forum! Cool
The problem is that by looking at the post history, they cannot tell if the topic's response was rephrased from another person's response. By changing it to pay per activity, Stunna can go through their post carefully since people would usually post less and evaluate whether he should pay the person.

Such people are reported by Hilarious, and they are banned pretty fast... Cool
Does he actually go through a ten thousand++ post? I believe people post over that, even if hilariousandco is that active, he may not be able to check all the post. However, with a new payment system, I believe it can be cut down to 5-7 thousand which can be easier for him to go through most of the posts.

Very simple & easy! Just like every other aspect of Primedice. Any other spoiler requests?

Yes Tongue spoil the release date Wink haha

Also, what if you accidentally send more than you intended to in a tip?

Same as if a user accidentally bets more than they're meant to. We can't do anything about it unfortunately.

I don't see this being an issue however. Just like anything Bitcoin related, always double check!
You can place a message for example. "You are about to send X BTC to X person, this action is irreversible!" then the user can click confirm. If they say that they didn't meant to do this, they can't since they have to confirm twice.

It already does that. It says it's an irreversible action and you have to click to send it. It's not like you can accidentally tip someone, but if you send the wrong amount then that's the person's fault and their best bet is to ask the person they sent it to to resend some back.
Most people wouldn't read the amount again. If you add an additional confirmation dialog with 5second wait time, the user can have a higher chance of reading it again. Stunna cannot be held responsible for this when they said they accidentally click it when there is an additional confirmation dialog.
8555  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Just received a lot of core I7 computers, what to do next ?? on: July 25, 2014, 08:55:04 AM
If you are ready to risk your job, you may use the computers to mine those very new cpu coins and wait for the coins to be listed on exchanges.
The computer may overheat and your computer's performance may be down graded. OP is better off selling all of those computers. Whether coins will be CPU resistant forever highly depends on the popularity. With huge popularity, your coin would not be as CPU resistant but would have a decent price. With low popularity, not much people would develop mining ASICs or GPU miners for that coin but the price would be quite low.

1) Hold it, it would go higher, based on many observation. It may crash though, never put what you cannot afford to lose.
2) PC and Laptops are out of the mining game. Even with high end ASICs, it can be a struggle to make ROI, cooling, space, difficulty increase, hardware price and electrical price is almost always the issue.
3) Never buy mining contracts, you would not make ROI, you might even lose a portion of it. Investment have a very big risk.
8557  Other / Meta / Re: Changing Avatar on: July 25, 2014, 08:47:48 AM
I saw a post from back in March about this being a future possibility.
Still see we can't add one, any word on when we will be able to have an Avatar?

I think the avatar would be available once the new forum software is completed.

This.

And in case you are wondering how much the new software costs and when it will be ready, you may check the post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=455867.msg5069851#msg5069851
That is a lot of money to spend just for software. Then again this forum does get >30 BTC per week in ad revenue and has over 100k registered members.
I don't think it is the amount that matters, Theymos isn't a professional who can code a forum within short period of times. Even with huge amount of money, he would still need some time.

You can PM Theymos to remove avatars but not adding avatars.

As I said in my previous post, you will need to update that path to reflect the actual location of the script.
I done it, but still I have got this error
Check your file name, you may have some other name. Also, not everyone's directory is the same. You must edit or according to where you have the python script.

I'll re-enroll since I failed to reach 50 posts in my last period.

You only enroll once, then claim the month you reach at lest 50 posts to claim.

Multiple enrollments is unnecessary and only will trouble Stunna.

EDIT: there is now  a new google form stuff you need to fill to enroll, and a enrollment list you need to be in before the 17th.

I signed up before the google form, and I already checked the enrollment list (I'm not on it) so I guess it won't trouble him.
For everyone who signed up before the form system, they must re-enroll again. Stunna said this a few months ago, he would not want to key in everyone's post count into the form, it would take some time.
