1  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum/Bitcoin on windows phone? on: February 26, 2016, 02:08:03 AM
The only wallet that I would trust on windows phone is Copay.

Actually, it's the only choice of wallet listed in Bitcoin.org (go to Mobile > Windows Phone). Anything that isn't listed there, I wouldn't trust with my money.

Oho, you can call me childish, my posts childish, but not my ratings  Cheesy

Fair enough.

Well having quite the mindset of QS, I have a reason to believe you are an alt of someone who recently PMed me. A member wanting to start over. Blame QS for it I guess

No problem.

Awesome , really? You read it? Don't finish on the first book in the series though

Yes, actually. It's a bit too late for that, I've read the series a couple times. Good books, I have my childish side as well.

The ending of the first book was decently good though, what do you have against it?

Not in times when I lay I bed with the flu and 38.5 fever.

Sounds bad, hope you feel better.



For everyone else: Sounds to me like this thread is useless seeing that Blazed said he'll think over it and that's that.

Honestly, I have nothing against mexxer-2 (except for, sorry mexxer, his childish positive ratings). He seems like a nice guy and if Blazed thinks he's trustworthy, by all means go ahead.

It's Lutpin I'm slightly more skeptical about - and, IMHO, I have good reason to. I've done my research on him and from what I've seen, he seems okay but has no real background; okay, he manages the forum image of Crypto-Games (along with a few others, I think) and mods there, but from what I can tell with my light digging in, his claim to fame is that he's mexxer-2's friend and they have loaned each other a substantial amount. His recent negative feedbacks are more based on personal opinion than on proof; but again, I have a neutral stance and if Blazed thinks Lutpin is deemed trustworthy enough to be on DT then I'm fine with it.

All in all, I think it's good to note that being on DT is not for people who will take their position in a non-serious approach. If you guys stay on DT (which is probable) then just realize that maybe it's time to think slowly into things. (Not saying you guys are immature; it's just a friendly remark.)

TL;DR: Everything's good, it's Blazed's decision, no amount of moaning and groaning will do anything. It's time for everyone to grow up and mature, both complainers and the "victims" (for a lack of a better word).

And before anyone asks, no, I'm not a sockpuppet account. I've done my research as a newbie, improbable as it seems.

P.S. Artemis Fowl was a great read. Smiley @mexxer-2

I knew something wasn't right there

Who tried it on you?

With some twiddling, Bitpay will do the job perfectly for you.
Does it has any transaction fee/ merchant fee or anything of such sort ?

I'm not entirely sure, but if I remember correctly, the free plan is free and the premium plan takes something like 3% of transactions. A tiny fee for a good service.
6  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What should I do now? on: February 23, 2016, 10:30:17 PM
Try to call paypal and explain the situation , if they don't believe and they leave the Chargeback as it is then there is two options :

You probably don't even know much about PayPal; using it to buy bitcoins is against their terms of service. AFAIK, the buyer had every right to chargeback (even though it's a selfish and stupid thing to do).[1]

[1]And sorry, but that is in essence what you are risking every time you sell bitcoins for PayPal. Although this is probably too late, always trade with a trusted partner.

1. Make a new fresh Paypal account. (I would do that)
2. Deposit the required money on the current Paypal account and get your balance back to normal . (I wouldn't do that If I were you).

I doubt he would willingly throw away a PayPal account he has been taking care of for 6 years.

*Edited because I mixed up the sides. Smiley*

I'll do it. Inbox me your bitcoin address.

If the trade falls through with Skeptical One, send me a private message and I'll trade.

Thats true, people can ignore my feedback by putting ~whywefight in their trust list Wink

Well, you're not in the DT2 list atm so most people won't have you in their trust lists anyways.

I need the website where people do task. I will pay people for install android app on their phones. I find some websites but there I can't Add my own task:


Example:

http://cointasker.com

But I need create my own task.

I bet you would be able to send them a message about it and get it in the rotation of tasks.
11  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] bitcloak43blmhmn.onion - BitCloak - Bitcoin Mixer - on: February 23, 2016, 01:11:55 AM
There are two mixing options:

-Mix your Bitcoins: you send what you have and get back clean coins, optional features are
multi wallet payout (up to 5) and time delay.

-Pay Anonymously: you choose the amount you need to pay to a service or someone, then send the
exact amount shown and the mixer will make the Bitcoin payment for you anonymously.
This obviously works both if you need to pay someone or if you need to get paid.

Sounds like they're the same idea in nature; someone puts coins in, and coins that aren't connected to him or her are sent to a chosen address. Is there any notable difference?

Also; why should we trust you? Other mixers that have been operating for a longer time are doing the job perfectly well.
12  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: [I Need >>$2<< Worth of bitcoin Paying >>$2.50<< With Paypal ASAP] on: February 22, 2016, 11:37:55 PM
This is practically a currency exchange, isn't it? Albeit a delayed one. If the time you need isn't that long, then I bet you could do a straight up deal with this - but only if it isn't long.
13  Other / Archival / Re: It has come to my attention that LutPin+their apprentice may be a trust Spammer on: February 22, 2016, 09:18:36 PM
You see Lutpin. If you'd've given me a reason why the account needed a signed message instead of just recommending it. (I mean if you gave me an example), then I would have hapily acepted the idea.

In the end, you only recommended it instead of suggesting why it would be useful.

Not really much of an argument; recommending is a synonym to suggesting.
14  Other / Meta / Re: My account SebastianJu banned for 14 days now? on: February 22, 2016, 09:04:52 PM
Yes, but a second warning would have been enought. Not a ban.

Have you tried reading the thread yet? If not, it's a great experience.

SebastianJu, you were temporarily banned because you kept making multiple posts in a row, which that could have been posted in one. You have been warned about this before and having a paid signature doesn't help.

Example 1
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1306301.msg13885766#msg13885766
Four consecutive posts that could have been posted in one.

Example 2
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1359877.msg13886091#msg13886091
Another 3 consecutive posts.

Example 3
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1359877.msg13887359#msg13887359
Another 3 consecutive posts.

Example 4
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1359877.msg13890264#msg13890264
Another 2.

Example 5
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1359877.msg13890417#msg13890417
Another 2.

These are just five examples from yesterday and today. I'm pretty sure I could have found more, but I'm not going to bother.

Though it might be important to know if this might be an automated ban of some kind. Can this be? Are there banbots on the forum?
This was not an automated ban, but I've written (and I'm running) a bot that checks posts made by newbies.
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What were your experiences with Bitcoin when you first started? on: February 22, 2016, 08:46:17 PM
I was first aware of it in 2009. Forgot completely. Became dimly aware again in 2011. Did nothing. Got rolling properly in mid 2013. I feverishly read up on it for a couple of weeks. Looked up Gox, thought 'this is the NASDAQ of Bitcoin? Fuck that' and went to localbitcoins.

Almost all of the 'opportunities' and businesses looked like blatant scams to me and time proved it to be correct. I've learnt vast amounts of new stuff along the way. 

Similar stuff. I found out about bitcoin in 2010, decided it was a neat idea but had no potential, and went on with my life. The late 2014/2015s roll around and I find myself realizing that the price is now in the hundreds. Definitely one of the things I regret the most, but I'm still happy that I got in the game relatively quickly.
16  Other / Meta / Re: How does the trust system work? on: February 21, 2016, 09:36:09 PM
basically it is the total score calculated based on the 2nd and 3rd (there's no 4th. theymos removed it.) scores. here's the full algorithm:
Code:
if there are no negative ratings
score = 0
for each rating, oldest to newest
if this rater has already been counted
continue
score += min(10, round_up(months since rating))
else
score = unique_positive - 2^(unique_negative)
if score >= 0
start_time = time of first negative
score = unique_positive since start_time - unique_negative since start_time
if(score < 0)
return ??? (orange)

move score to range [-9999,9999]
return score

taken from this thread > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1066857.0

That makes more sense, thanks for the help.
17  Other / Meta / How does the trust system work? on: February 21, 2016, 07:01:08 PM
Sorry for my newbie question.

I read this topic but I can't understand how the trust system works in the marketplace section. This is what it said:

The first number is the user's trust score calculated based on how consistently they've received positive feedback. Probably no one will get a score above 0 until the system has been around for at least a month. The second number is the number of reported scams. The third number increases with the number of positive reports, as does the fourth number in parenthesis, though the fourth number is more resistant to abuse. This text changes color depending on the score. Users with a negative score (attainable through scamming) get a red warning attached to their posts.

I get the second and third/fourth numbers, but how is the first number calculated?

Miner lvl 3: Cost 20,000 Satoshi - Gives you a nice 1,000 Satoshi an hour!

So 20 hours after the user buys the upgrade, you'll start losing money every single hour? (Minus the coolant purchase, but that is a minimal cost and won't affect the fact that you're losing money quick.)

EDIT:
Since I am still learning the basics and everything about coding and design I will be hopefully releasing this around 2017 2018 Sad I am sorry for the longggg wait but I don't think I'll be able to do it right now. Before it comes out I will start a Kickstarter page to raise money for advertising, bitcoin buying and costly upgrades (mostly just bitcoin)

Why are you planning such a project if you're still learning the basics and need 2 years to get the fundamentals to code it? No offense, but you're going to have to cross that bridge first before planning something like this. Don't count your eggs before they hatch. Smiley

Also: you don't need a Kickstarter project for something like this. Posting here will be enough advertisement, I'm sure, and backup funds should be coming out of your own pocket (they won't be too much in the beginning anyways).

20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: IBM and Microsoft unroll The Hyperledger. on: February 17, 2016, 10:49:56 PM
Bitcoin killer ?

No. It's just a software that uses something similar to the blockchain/ledger.

It it's centralized IBM or Microsoft could stop supporting it if it became uneconomical. They will only keep up development if they are making money from it. If it's like vista then I don't trust it. Just because it's from microsoft doesn't mean it's any good, I'd rather trust in Bitcoin.

Well, yes, but there's a lot of possibilities from something like this. Plus, once people see how great this idea is, they'll be drawn to use it, and maybe even check out bitcoin.

Yeah I don't think this is really interesting for us bitcoiners...I don't think it will ever become a viable payment system for everyday life though.

It's pretty interesting to me as a intermediate bitcoin-er, because it's a project by a couple huge companies that use something from bitcoin.

Also, it's not just a payment system to be used.
