Sure and i could also PM you and ask for your BTC address, internet existed before webbrowsers, and phones before iPhone, but ...
I think the point here is a prove of concept and expose is to wide adoption (meaning being user friendly) as much as to encourage quality posts. If btc forum can't integrate user friendly BTC tipping, you really expect other forums adopting it?
Every account has a place in their profile for a BTC address, and many people have something in their signature that mentions they can send tips to a certain address if they liked their post. As it was mentioned above, there is no real need to integrate a 3rd party app for any bitcoin payment, tipping included |

my account that was banned maybe permanent or temporary i dont know  for all moderator and admin please forgive me for my mistake maybe im spam or etc im proud can join this forum thanks all What is the name of your account that was banned? I don't think it is very common to get permanently banned the first time, so whatever you did was probably a repeat offense. If there is not a timeframe as to how long your ban will last then I believe it will be permanent |

There are plenty of these fraud sites advertisements recently, I wonder:
a) why they are still new threads popping up, if all know what it is.
b) whether posting such things is still in line with the rules of this forum?
So many of these scam threads are popping up because there was one or two ponzis that lasted several weeks and over 700 BTC went through it. This installed confidence in many people, making them willing to invest in ponzis, however the operators ran off with thousands of dollars worth of bitcoin from their investors |

What you don't realize is that:
1. Ponzi's aren't scams unless the person who runs it takes the bitcoin for himself
2. Adding negative trust to me does nothing but kill the ponzi faster, and scam more people
3. You are indirectly scamming by giving me negative trust
4. Ponzi's can definitely be truthful.
5. Most of you have seen too many ponzi scams, so you jump ahead and assume this is a scam too huh. You must feel great for yourselves, scamming the guy out of 0.02 beacuse you ruined a perfectly fine ponzi.
This is not true. If someone makes a promise to someone else that they will give them a certain amount of money and they do not uphold that promise then they are scamming. It does not matter if they took the money themselves or if they gave it to another "lucky" investor who put money into the scam early on |

You are just lazy. At least the other ponzi operators are willing to at least put some effort into a website and lie through their teeth about what they will do with their investors' money.

Hey I'm starting a new ponzi scheme with just a bit of variation.
I call it the Pon(give me your bitcoin plz)zi Schemarama.
Here is how it works:
1. You send Bitcoin to address: 19sJdxlol$$$Tast33B1tc0in
2. You send even more Bitcoin to address: 19sJdxlol$$$Tast33B1tc0in
3. Remember the address is: 19sJdxlol$$$Tast33B1tc0in
4. I accumulate lots of Bitcoin.
5. I look at all of it.
6. Wow that is some tasty Bitcoin.
7. Maybe I'll give some of my tasty Bitcoins back to you.
8. But the chances of that are really slim.
9. That's just gambling folks.
Just rinse and repeat. Don't worry about this scheme failing. I promise will not run out of funds probably.
19sJdxlol$$$Tast33B1tc0in
Just in case you missed it.
HAHA I like your address. You are right though, there are a huge number of ponzi's that have randomly joined out forum. I guess the scammers have figured out just how much people like to gamble |

The owners are "anonymous" and from a Russian speaking country.
It is alleged that Russian authorities often turn a blind eye to fraudsters and let them commit their crimes because it causes losses for the US financial system and it is seen as a kind of economic warfare against the US. The same thing is probably going on here, with Russian authorities turning a blind eye to btc-e.
Their location is actually only speculated to be in or around Russia (most speculation is that it is based in the Ukraine) because the time stamp on their servers matches that time zone. In reality however, even their approximate location is not known as they use a number of identity masking services to hide their true identitys |

In comments at private appearances, Ben Bernanke has stated that he does not expect interest rates to normalize in his lifetime. If the rate on the Japanese 10 year went to 2%, all the tax revenue of the Japanese government would not suffice to service the coupon payments. That is where the U.S. is heading, and it is no secret, merely an unmentionable elephant. Given that it is unlawful to default on the debt of the U.S. Treasury, the only possible outcome is hyperinflation: No austerity, no financial repression, no feasible growth will suffice to overcome the magnitude of the debt mountain. The debatable aspect is the timing of that hyperinflation. Everyone wants time to roll out of USD before it breaks loose.
It may be against the law to default on US (federal) government debt however if the US is not able to raise enough money to pay it's bondholders then it will have no choice but to default. There may become a point where potential investors will not be willing to lend to the US federal government at any price (interest rate) |

I don't think merchants that convert the bitcoin they receive from sales to fiat immediately should really truly be considered to be part of the 'bitcoin economy' as they are both pricing their goods in terms of fiat and receiving their goods in fiat. The only real exception would probably be overstock who only converts a portion of their revenue to fiat and is active in the bitcoin related economy/community
I believe quite the opposite. To help the BTC economy, we need big names to accept it. Microsoft accepting BTC is more important for raising awareness than all the gambling websites. I would disagree. We don't need major companies to accept bitcoin, we just need enough of a variety of companies to accept bitcoin. These companies will have a competitive advantage as they will have lower payment processing costs and as a result will grow |

Unlike fiat of yore backed by gold or promises of State order, the knowledge age ... Bro, fiat is not backed by gold. By definition. Welcome to the age of knowledge! Idiot of course not 100% backed yet still backed at some ratio of leverage and from the public's perspective fully backed; it was a discussion of fractional reserves. Up until 1971, it was indeed "backed" by gold in the USA but when France began demanding the gold, Nixon ended the gold window. During the 1800s, the private banks were issuing fractional reserve promises to pay in gold. Even the dollar was backed by silver, and up until 1965, you could bring your silver certificate paper dollar to the bank and exchange it for a silver dollar coin. Yeah welcome to the knowledge age dimwit. Backed to some extent is really not backed at all. Countries do not accept an independent audit of their gold reserves. So nobody can be really confident of the total gold reserves that a country has. You also have the money supply exploding. If we look at what various QEs have done to the money supply, the ratio of gold reserves to total fiat in circulation would not appear comfortable at all. Money supply on balance sheets. Get worried when this actually starts to be lent out, then we will see inflation- otherwise only expect grinding marginal inflation such as has been seen lately, barring of course black swans or exogenous events. Many people might be shocked to know that the Euro actually has the most 'paper' currency (including coins) actually in physical circulation but you do not hear goldbug gurus going on about this. Does that in fact make the dollar better to hold? If you are interested in the complex relationship between gold, currency and oil. Check out a youtuber called Belangp very interesting take. The increased money supply will have to show up somewhere. Right now, the US has not seen increased inflation because the increased money supply has gone to emerging markets. This has resulted in asset bubbles in these markets. Once these markets crash, the money will return to domestic markets causing inflation. A lot of the excess liquidity has flowed towards emerging markets as people are generally taking on more risks and emerging markets represent greater risk. However even more of the excess money that the fed has 'created' has stayed on deposit at the federal reserve by the banks as there has not been sufficient demand for high enough quality loans |

When you check into a hotel, do you say "I'm not gonna need those stupid pillow mints, i'm not even gonna use the bed, so you have no right to charge me for it"?
Living in a country is like that.
Checking into a hotel requires the consent of the customer. Being born in a country involves no such consent. The difference is night and day. You didn't have a say in being born, and that's why your country owes you a living? If you were born at my house, would you feel entitled to live in it without bothering to pay me rent? For that matter, do you feel that you have a right to homestead in the maternity ward of the hospital where you were born? Help me understand. Right. I am sure all the people who are saying they should not have to pay any taxes are also going to complain when the government is no longer able to provide the kinds of services and protection that taxes pay for and they have gown accustomed to. |

Yesterday I was having some issues as i wasn't able to make a payment.
:/ Fixed it though.
im still missing about .01 from my account. im not sure whats going on. i know im not the only 1 either You probably have a very different issue if you have money 'missing' from your wallet. If you have exactly .01 missing then you might have sent change to yourself in this exact amount, although I would find this somewhat unlikely. I would say a more likely scenario is that you accidentally set the TX fee to be much higher then it should have been/needed to be when manually creating a tx |

I've been getting emails out the ass of somebody trying to hack into my account, albeit there's not much in there, but odd just the same.
I don't think blockchain.info usually sends out password reset emails to their customers. In fact this is not how their service is setup as they never have access to your password |

silly OP no we don't want these scumbags using btc or altcoins. same way I don't want other terrorists (cia) using it either they should use ripple  I think ripple is too close to bitcoin that it would be beneficial for bitcoin if ripple was used by terrorists. Although ripple is less decentralized then bitcoin it is still generally a decentralized currency and it is not backed by anything or any government |

just a reminder to keep a very small amount on online exhanges
whether bitcoin or alts
keep most offline in qt wallets (encrypted) with pw
and thumbdrives etc.
many exchanges come and go without warning, get hacked etc.
The reason that some people keep so much money on exchanges is because they want to use it to trade the market. If they have a winning trade then the more money they have on the exchange the bigger the trade they can make and the more money they will make. It is fueled by greed well, yes but if the exchange is corrupt or gets hacked or owners are dishonest they could wake up one day and all coins gone I am not disagreeing with your advice. It is a very good practice to store all of your bitcoin in a way so that you are in 100% control of your private keys. My argument is that people tend to disagree with this advice on the hopes of being able to strike it rich via trading. And to be fair there have been a few hugely profitable trading opportunities over the years, most recently when SR1 was shut down by the FBI, although they tend to happen pretty rarely and it is probably not worth the risk (IMO) |

I don't care what official figure is, it's BS.
Could be wrong about what you can actually get in a savings account though, if I've seen 2% it's probably one of those $50,000+ term deposits.
According to bankrate the highest interest rates that are publicly available (that they know about) is 1.05% APY on savings accounts. It lists one offer for a 5 year CD with a $100,000 minimum deposit with a APY of 2.4%. The core inflation rate really over estimates inflation because people will adjust their habits when prices adjust. For example when the price of chicken increases they will buy beef instead, or when the price of gas goes up they will consolidate their trips to the store |

Lol @ all the begging people sending 0.0001 BTC to those addresses and asking for 100+ BTC lol I saw one: "I am man from Ukraine and Russians take all my money and clothes, please donate!" \lol/ Did he ever giveout any money to someone? I have seen many addresses like this in which people keep on begging from. People were also begging from the FBI's bitcoin address that had more than 100k BTC. I strongly doubt that these people ever get any kind of donation. It seems to be that the same people spam addresses that would likely be viewed by many people. It is really almost a form of entertainment to read the public notes (which by the way are not actually in the blockchain, they are only on the blockchain.info block explorer so someone using another block explorer will not even be able to see them) |
