Wasting their time is an excellent way to discourage them, well played ! Did you know the Nigerian Princes give you a crazy story on purpose ? They do this to filter out the intelligent people that can think in a critical manner, because that raises their success rate once people do reply  |

There's only this much signature campaigns in existence. And they're services anyway so they rightfully belong to that board.
There's no point and making a change is probably not worthwhile IMO. What do ya say, Theymos?
It's funny that nobody gives any real arguments why not to do this. "Because it's not a problem, the amount of signature campaigns are limited" is the best I've heard. I just counted, and right now there are 15 threads about campaigns on the first page of services. I think that's a pretty typical amount, half of the threads are campaigns. I'm not just talking about signature campaigns, I'm talking about threads where you get a small amount of Bitcoin for completing a certain action. The action is usually posting here on BTCT, or Retweeting something. Those replies are all super low content, posts like " sign me up " which could be taken care of in a PM. It pushes the threads servces that are more vital to the Bitcoin community of the front page in a matter of an hour or two. Does this mean that the only way I can now get my business noticed is to buy ad space here ? |

It's not so much the amount of threads, it's the way they dominate the first page, because they tend to get a lot of replies.
To find actual services as the board title implies, you have to go back through several pages.
... and most people don't do that.
It benefits the Bitcoin economy enormously if businesses / freelancers who accept Bitcoin get a board where they are easy to find.

Don't listen to these guys. It's perfectly possible to make 2 BTC per week, even if you're not super skilled.
You need to find a problem and solve it.
There's good money to be made if you are creative. Creativity is always in high demand.
Perfectly possible, yes, but not to everyone. It equates to >3600USD a month, which only rare people get to earn, and i honestly doubt they need to create threads like this one to make it. Having such income mostly means running your own business - and a successful one too. btw i would hardly call op as being creative from what i see and read.. I think it is possible to have such job specially in countries that are rich but you need to change and improve 10% of a business whether it is a fast food or it is supermarket or etc. Ha, such limited thinking. Well, if you're already sure you can't, that IS true. Set a big goal... even if you only get close to the big goal, you already achieve more then if you set a small goal. |

I have my video agency's main thread in the services section, and quite a lot of customers find us that way. We make videos for blockchain businesses exclusively.
To bad it only stays on first page for a couple of hours, since all those signature or "sign up here to get X" threads get a ton of replies.
I suggest a simple fix ; a "campaigns" child board. That way people can find other services more easily.
Jay or nay ?

Coinpayments is a great service that removes the payment barrier that many alternative digital currencies face. A true driver in our space. |

There is no secret regarding modern money creation, I like the explanation on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_creationOnly central bank can create money, any other banks are just playing with those money created by central banks. Commercial banks can't create money through FRB, they just created lots of checkbook numbers (M1/M2). If they could create money out of nothing, then no banks would going bankrupt during financial crisis The problem is the ownership, those who create the money get the ownership of those money (they can't lend out any money that does not belong to them), so all the money originally belongs to central banks. This is a very big difference after the gold standard has been removed, means central banks secretly created lots of money out of nothing and bought huge amount of assets on the planet. Under a gold standard, they must create gold first, which has a similar production cost as its value OK, this is a really old post that i'm replying to, but I had to, to point out you are dead wrong. The vast majority of money is NOT created by central banks, but by regular banks who loan out money that doesn't exist. The simply move numbers around in their records, creating debt out of thin air. Check out Simon Dixon's book "Bank to the Future" http://www.amazon.com/Bank-Future-Protect-before-Governments/dp/1907720375/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1447995496&sr=8-2&keywords=simon+dixon( that's the founder of the crowdfunding platform bnktothefuture.com by the way, I make their videos ) |

Thanks Master.
Sad to see the best thread on this forum come to a close though.

Huh ? What did I just see ? |

It seems no one cares about the price and the trading volume of FCT here, FCT's price is sh*t now!
It's very easy to manipulate a market this small. I've been looking at that chart closely and it has all the signs that someone tried to pump and dump it. That person was not successful and then dumped all the 'toids he gathered. Probably moved on to another asset on Poloniex. It doesn't mean anything. Just wait. There is so much being built on the Factom layer. It's a matter of time before traders like you are going to have a lot of fun. If there is no pumping, how do investors get their investment back, BTC is pumping, ETH is pumping..., I am glad to have sold most of my Factom already, just left 1/3, if anyone is interesting, I can sold them all at IPO price(around 10 BTC). That's not what a "pump" means. Pump is an artificial rise in price created ONLY to lure in buyers so the "pumper" can then dump his holdings. It blows my mind to see someone sells under the ipo price after the company has delivered.  Could it be simply people selling their FCT to be in BTC ? It has all the looks of another bubble forming. Could it also happen that when BTC crashes again after the bubble, people will poor their jackpot money into great other assets like FCT ? |

Further predictions are really hard.
Nope. Easy. This is the kickoff of another bubble. Panic buying will set in soon. |

Master, you give mixed signal, I am confused.
The mixed signal was before a couple of hours ago. I'm expecting a very clear and easy to understand signal NOW. |

Hey... that is awesome. Who's behind it ? I'll help promote this with a big discount. Needs a great app demo with some cool animations. |
