Renting accounts?????

[uige2016]

Would it be possible to rent bitcointalk accounts out to users wishing to participate in signature campaigns? I'd just like to know the practicality of one of my crazy ideas. Just a little FYI, I was considering buying an account and trying to profit from signature campaigns but found the price too high. So I was wondering if other people encounter the same issue and perhaps would want a place to "rent" an account from. Thanks for reading and responding!

Have you tried renting the accounts yourself ?

i think its not a good idea...person can misuse it in many ways...any negative trust and all hard work for the account holder will be in vain

I agree especially if you rent it and you didnt tell very exact rules because i once rented an account and i bended the rules, i copied pasted then and only one liners because it was what i was seeing at off topic, i even vist foreign language and used translator. LOLs.

It may be good as long as the split is good and the alt user knows what he is doing.

how it does protect owner?
If you give you account's password to someone else they can change login details and if you give them to access to account then user can use the account for scam and get it negged or if he spam then account can banned.
there is no protection for owner

I think a bad idea, this forum has a lot of useful information and you can learn a lot, you should not create account just because you want to make money with signature



because by doing so you will post just because you want money and not because they give the opinion or because you want to contribute with something


Look at the forum as a place to learn something

This might work if you make them pay a %of their earnings to you.

Very high risk. Rent an account to strangers isn't safe. They can try to scam people or other illegal thing... They can spam on forum too and your account won't be allowed on signature campaigns anymore.

Just do it if you have a friend that you really trust.

Exactly!
Price accounts for many may be too high, but if account has a good history can easily be used to scam others or even take loans .. and bye bye your account is burned!

What you could do is asking for a deposit if the account is used to scam the deposit and only refund it after 30 days to make sure the account was not used to scam anyone.

Why would anyone give a deposit? He can buy for that amount his own account. If deposit will be too low, risk still is on you..

Sorry it was wrong thread.

I mean you could fix that w/ a couple people doing neutral tags to let everyone know it was being rented.

There could also be the issue of people faking an account being rented and therefore shifting blame off themselves.

The whole purpose of an account is to use it for signature campaigns, and with that tag system you propose there is no way that signature campaign manager will accept account like that.
Because there is not telling how exactly post quality will change with the new temporary owner of an account. So I feel it is  totally counterproductive.

It is possible to rent bitcointalk accounts out to trusted users   

[dothebeats]

Totally a crazy idea, given that the borrower of the account could do negative things with your account that could potentially leave you with a negative trust. Even buying forum accounts is not endorsed or even encouraged. Also, if the borrower of the account found out that the email you used in signing up in this site is not even registered, he/she might take it up and change your password. Bye-bye forum account.

Wont work long term and you put effort into something which is a flash in the pan.

Basically, it is possible. As long as it is allowed to sell Bitcointalk accounts. The main problem would be to get the account back when lending time is over. Of course you could lend it for a high rate but I doubt that you then would find someone for lending. Because it would be cheaper to buy a potential account and develop it.

They might or might not pay you percetage once they get the account, but obviously they wouldn't be that much bothered about the rules or be careful with the account because they don't own it or they didn't put efforts for that account to reach that rank.

Renting accounts and surely the main purpose of it is to get profit from signature campaigns.

This is very risky just like getting a collateral loan you are risking your account. If the person rented your account did something crazy then good luck to your account.

But when you give your account as collateral usually lender is trusted user, so risk is almost zero..

Not really.Not every lender is a trusted user.Giving your account to the lender involves a risk of him checking your private messages and maybe access your sensible data ,that's why trusted escrow is used.

Who knows weather the lender will simply sell the account for a much higher price than the loan amount.
