I deleted your thread because it was a duplicate of your Alt. Cryptocurrencies service thread. Besides alt coin services don't belong in Gambling. BTW, I'm a patroller (I can moderate newbie content globally).
It was posted on the Gambling thread and not the Alt-Cryptos thread because
it is a Gambling thread... It's actually a lot more related to Bitcoin than third party websites are. Yes if you will 'XCP' is traded as an alt-currency on exchanges - but if we get technical here all XCP are is embedded Blockchain data. As opposed to what the millions of Centralized websites that have absolutely nothing to do with the Blockchain and are only on this forum because they accept Bitcoin as a method of payment?
And more specifically
https://xcpfeeds.info is directly and solely related to making Bets/Contracts
on the Bitcoin Blockchain. All altcoins, including those operating on other coins' blockchains, are considered as an alt coin discussion. That includes XCP and the well known Mastercoin.
Edit: Badbear beat me to it, but it still stands.
So I have three points:
a) I don't think reposting something on two Forums in different languages, or explained in different terms geared towards a different audience is Spam. Is it an ideal of use of content space? Probably not. Are all of these threads 100X times more worthwhile than 50% of the Content on this forum? Almost certainly.
b) A thread about a Website is not an Alt-Cryptocurrency announcement I beg to differ. Please provide one strand of logical reasoning for how a poker website that accepts BTC is more 'Bitcoin related'. At least in the case of this Website I would say it is significantly more interesting to Bitcoin user that want to Gamble, than to people speculating on Altcoins. (Which I think really must be the sole judgment criteria towards Poker sites which accept Bitcoin, as opposed to Poker sites that accept Credit Cards).
c) I could probably unearth at least 3 Mastercoin threads that ran in Project development. You might disagree with it now - but they were never moved out of there during their lifespan.
edit: Also d)
http://xcpfeeds.info has a BIP32 Wallet, which is
clearly Bitcoin related,
a)Reposting a thread in a Local subforum, correctly translated and on topic is not spam, because the Local boards are usually a self contained forum - with it's own mods and community. The english speaking audience doesn't visit it often and many of the local members hang around mostly in their Local board.
Other main boards are visited by many users thus if there are several threads in several sections, it often annoys users, myself included, and adds mostly nothing since the audience is usually the same as in every duplicate.
b)It's an altcoin that operates on the Bitcoin's blockchain thus it belongs in the Alt. Cryptocurrencies board. People go to the main boards to avoid these kind of "projects".
c)Be my guest. Report them to the moderator and the appropriate mods will handle it.
d)But the whole service is still mainly based around XCP. And that BIP32 wallet supports XCP, doesn't it?
a) I see your point.
c) I guess your policy changes with Moderator moods, I assume this month's mood is different. Although I do see Namecoin
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6017.0 ?
d) It does support XCP, but you can also send/receive BTC and sign raw transactions (which for example blockchain.info does not support).
And to the mainpoint, Please explain on account of which criterion a Poker site is placed into Gambling:
- A user sends BTC or pays with credit card
- A user receives Chips specific to that Poker Site (like centralized premined altcoin or something?)
- A user plays on that sites centralized server
- A user sells his chips to cash out to a card or BTC
Using xcpfeeds.info:
- A user can use a decentralized exchange to buy xcp for btc
- A user places a bet on the blockchain and is matched with another user
- A users bet is resolved through information embedded in the blockchain
- A user cashes out his xcp on the decentralized exchange for btc
I see similar 'Alt' steps in 1 & 4 for both Poker and xcpfeeds. At the very least as far as I can tell all that makes Poker relevant to the Bitcoin threads
Again is that they accept Bitcoin. Which Counterparty does (accept bitcoin i mean?), which actually can be traded peer-to-peer directly from a users Bitcoin wallet. Steps 2 and 3 in the Poker scenario are obviously completely irrelevant to Bitcoin, where as steps 2 &3 in the Counterparty protocol are not.
I'd rather you actually got back to me on the whole Poker site logic, but TL:DR Correct me if I'm wrong the ultimate point of Forum sections/boards (generally speaking) is to enable users to find relevant material with a higher success rate. We could take a poll but I am overwhelmingly sure Gamblers find xcpfeeds.info more relevant than alt-coin (um idk the name), so I think you're really just picking at semantics at this point to preserve your earlier decision of deleting my thread. (Which by the way I primarily had a problem with not because it was deleted, but because I was not notified about it).
edit: You're seriously going to delete my thread from Gambling because you apparently have no logical arguments left, and nothing better to do with your life? (C'mon there are like 2000 scams on Bitcointalk at worst you could waste your life on that).
