Re: Updated Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns

[sed]

I'm thinking of not adding any Ponzi/HYIP scheme's to my topic (and removing the one I have right now). I don't want to promote them and people might not even get paid for wearing their signature. It's, of course, their responsibility, but I feel bad for those that decide to join such a campaign and get nothing in return.

What do you guys think?

I think you should avoid trying to set yourself up as the morality police.  Part of the ethos of the bitcoin project is that people can and should take responsibility for their own money and what they do with it.

Personally, I think that if you really feel strongly, you could put an asterisk with your personal warning (or, some other symbol since asterisk is already taken but you know what I mean).  Any more than this starts to undermine your own credibility as the source for the overview of sig campaigns.  If people start to know that you don't list campaigns based on personal reasons, they'll start noticing that certain campaigns don't get listed, etc, and they'll start wondering what other personal motivations and filters you might be applying to the list.

you could say the same thing about any campaign that doesn't use escrow. You also really don't know 100% that a ponzi is truly a ponzi until they either run away or show you their books (although common sense can give you a good idea of companies that are >99% a ponzi).

I would suggest changing the disclaimer to something along the lines that you think that payout is unlikely or that they are advertising a probably ponzi/scam. This would give more information then just that a campaign is having problems (which a campaign manager could potentially explain)

New deal. Bit confusing on what they're paying out. Seems a dollar value of either bitcoin or litecoin, but looks like a HYIP as well.

Looks eerily similar to cryptcominer.

I bet $100 they are the same guys behind the cryptcominer and Lunamine scams.

They didn't even bothered to change the terms a little. Or to change the business they said they get the money from

Seems like the scam syndicate found BTCTalk as their heaven

Got a payment from pocketdice. Will do another week.

[kerimk2]

I'm just going to wait for the pocketdice sig campaign, I need to be a member!
EDIT: I guess I am a member, activity just updated today.
EDIT: just realised I have to be full member. Is that 100 activity?

This was posted from September 3 and updated today. It's unclear what the nastylotto ticket exactly is and I bet most people have no idea what the mentioned seats are. This doesn't look like a regular campaign, some clarification would be nice though.

120 for Full members, but they only accept Sr members now and that's 240 activity. And they only take 50 members now.

And IMO they have similiar signature designs too, same font, same size, same style

=snip=

The prize for the lottery is a portion of funds that are held in the NastyPool holding address.  It is derived from the distributions of 250 NastyFans seats.  The lottery will be weekly once it goes into effect, but it is still being developed and will be implemented after we have our P2Pool NastyPPS payout system completed.

Is he gone?



I think it is time to stop enrolling and promoting the scam and to delete from the table.

And now,
they are not allow member rank to join in

Hello all,

--snip--
Second, my huge mistake here and I apologize for it. Members won't be allowed into this promotion. As everyone could see, there was no signature for them to add. I'm sorry but this is a decision that comes from upstairs.

BitStars.net added, thank you guys for telling me. I have decided to keep Ponzi's and HYIP in this overview thread, because sed make some valid points and I don't want to risk my credibility, so yeah.

NastyFans' Signature campaign is for NastyFans Seat Owners only. These places are either brought or gifted (if I am not mistaken) and most people that come here don't have a seat. Not sure if I should add them because the payment is one NastyPool lottery ticket, which will get you BTC IF you win. Seeing that you get one of these per accepted P2Pool share, they are pretty worthless. What do you guys think? Add them or not?

EDIT: This is my 5000th post!

As it is BTC related, I think it is good to add them. It is users decision whether to join or not but it can be added here.

I must have slowed down or you sped up then
Congrats on your 5 K post a few hundred to go here ^^
10K is reserved for a Deep Philosophical Post on Bitcoin or was that 20K can't recall what P@G did lol.

As for NastyFans not really noteworthy in my opinion but I guess its a negligible note

[erenna]

I have been paid by Crypto-Games.net

[boumalo]

Got a payment from pocketdice. Will do another week.

Got a payment as well, it is automatic and everyone who had an address registered got paid on October 1st, great campaign!

0.1 for 50posts is sweet but you get more BTC with pocketdice if you are a Hero or Legendary and even more for Senior since you get 0.025/week and there is a bit more than 4weeks per month
