Subject: Bitcointalk Banners

Hello, we are opening two slots 728x90 for advertising in Bitcointalk.org

Totally 2 banners in rotation and both of them are placed

Banner size - 728x90, displayed in all forum pages.

Price per one slot is 0.7 BTC per month. 2 slots together will cost 1.2 BTC

If you want 2 banners, they can be different style, but must have same link.

Best Regards
--------------------end-----------------------

To the best of my knowledge theymos sells ads on the forum via auction...

This email was sent to an email addy I registered for a business in a directory for accepting bitcoins.  So scammers are harvesting info via "bitcoin accepted here" business directories and are attempting to scam.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.
