No problem, I'm happy to help. I'd still encourage you to join one of the few campaigns that accepts Newbies. It's better to be earning something rather than nothing.

See the link in my profile for a good set of examples.

Faucets are just an easy way for someone to get a small amount of bitcoin and for others to make money off us bitocoin user and for the site owner to make money off of the page views from the people seeking money from the faucet.

It's a cool way for someone to get their first bitcoin. It's not a great way to make a lot of bitcoin. And it's a great way for a site owner to make some money.

It wouldn't be pointless or impossible.

The blockchain is a way of authenticating and tracking a transaction. The transaction can be anything. There's nothing unreasonable about business using blockchain to make their business more efficient.

I'm a big fan of it!

Thanks for taking my suggestion! I just submitted my answer to the poll.

Sure but you can probably change your vote when you hit or lose the lotto and have to update your balance category.

I like these polls, I've set up a few on my own. I look forward to seeing the results~

Yeah, then you're like "fuck, I can't go back..."

Paying a BTC1-2 premium for a BTC25 coin is NUTS. These guys scored big! That's a small fee to pay!

Uber fork. The fork happens, that's the reaction from full blocks.

Much happy.

The fork conversation is not new and it's not shady. It's a legitimate issue facing the future of bitcoin. The real debate is whether it should happen now (forced) or only when it's really needed (organically). At some point the size issues will be real.

I think Coinbase has more to lose than to gain if they were do something "gox like". The operate in the US...laws are different there.

Yes this is possible. There's a lot of information on this forum. The first thing for you to do is to read what's already available, then if you have specific questions you can ask them by starting a new thread.

Go to the Services Discussion board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0

Read about different campaigns and there's also a thread on "Overview of Signature Campaigns" that's pretty helpful. Read, learn, and you will be wise!

Welcome!

Can you restart this thread as a poll so we can all easily see what the summary count is for people that have 1 wallet vs. 5 vs. 10?

It' makes it much easier to see the results and then we can discuss the results with comments.

Thanks.

Yeah, I like our growth prospects too!

We all need to understand that there's a reality that can't be completely changed without significant penalty to the organization or event that "rocked the boat" too hard. It's better for us to allow the financial market talking heads have their time to criticize and critique bitcoin's purpose, position, and staying power.

People usually vote with their wallets. Those of us that participate with bitcoin will bear it's rewards. Those that don't, won't.

That's perfectly fine for me, is it for you...?

There's initial anonymity. But you're right in that if someone wants to find out who's transacting what there's a lot of information available. This is part of the reason why people insist on using cold wallets (and multiple wallets), it makes it harder to track the person who originated the transaction.

This may set a precedent that Casascius coins carry a flat BTCx premium over the face value. I.e., add BTC2 to the face of the coin being offered for sale and that's your starting point for a fair price.

In the end the fair price will always be what the seller and buyer agree upon as a price, but the premium theory could represent the starting point for that discussion.

Wow, you really got me there. Seriously, good point. But your sarcasm wasn't needed and it doesn't prove my point wrong (maybe think for 4 seconds before you reply with a rebuttal.)

My point still stands, the increase in the fiat conversion to bitcoin would not lead to these businesses shutting down or not getting the value out of this type of advertising. If anything their business should improve as that growth in price brings more attention (and hopefully users) to the currency.

One thing that that's still really shitty (but unrelated to the OP) is this past week's very short boost in price is the catalyst to cut payments to the people that are gathering their customers. It's bad business, but I guess these companies don't need to represent any loyalty to their advertisers.

Dust Dice is a great campaign. Easy to join, reasonable requirements, good pay. Consider Dust Dice...

I've never heard of the site but if they're offering a free trial what's stopping you from trying it for yourself?

You could try it and then give us all a review on how well it worked, whether it's worth it, etc. Perhaps there's a referral code you could use to earn some money by recruiting us (if you like the site of course.)

What rate do you consider to be your minimum for participating? What rate will be too low, that you'd walk away from?

Where can you get a note paying 12.5%? Which bank? I might be interested.



If inflation is 10% per year we'll have much bigger problems to contend with!

Haha, your ad is still for GAMBLING!!!

It says "play dice", that's gambling! Hahaha.

Dude, I don't think your'e cut out for participating in signature campaigns. Non constructive posts like this are very bad for business.

Are you not familiar with the multiple threads that summarize the signature and avatar campaigns? Are you not familiar with the fact that all signature campaigns available are posted on this Service Discussion board?

Btw, it's the Nobel peace prize, not the noble peace prize.
