What 'level of understanding' does a person need? I know the bare bones of how it works and functions but do not understand the specifics of the code. Would this be enough?
Sorry, I should have been more specific. Yes, that's fine, if you're on Bitcointalk, chances are you have the level of understanding required Smiley

Able to write? Know about Bitcoin? Get in touch.

Hi there, I'm currently looking for people to write on an assortment of Bitcoin related topics. Reviews, guides, explanations, commentary, etc. I have tons of demand, and need it filled.

It doesn't matter whether you've done this kind of stuff before or not, get in touch via PM. I'll be paying good money to anyone who can write an interesting article.

PM format:

Subject: Writers

Body: [Hi, my name is x], [I'm from y country], [I've been involved with Bitcoin since z].

Being involved with Bitcoin for years isn't a necessity, as long as you have an understanding of it.

Thanks!
Joe

EDIT: Should add, I'm paying $2-4/100 words (the average article will be 500-1000 words, so $10-20/page), potentially higher for those who are able to write especially well. If English is a second language, then this may not be suitable (although if you've lived in an English speaking country for a large portion of your life, then that may not apply).

If English is a first language, or you've lived in an English speaking country for a large portion of time/are well educated in English, then go for it, by all means, even if you don't have any writing experience.

Mine arrived yesterday. I'd bought some bitcoins in 2011, and I did briefly have a few tens of bitcoins in there last year. At the time of the collapse though, I had less than $3 in there (possibly less than $1?)

He already seems to have more money than he needs, from the government contracting etc. I would guess that he'll be HODLing until his death and then passing onto his family, maybe a bit to charity - but not for a while.

Anyone who thinks this will not cause a crash is nuts.
Think about it, 30k btc will be sold super cheap, maybe anywhere between 50-80% of the current market price. This by itself won't have an effect, but as soon as the buyers receive those coins they will be dumped on the regular exchanges to take that difference as profit and we will see a big drop.
This drop will in turn cause a panic sell-off, so i suspect we'll end up anywhere between 200-300 USD soon. We can already see it coming down the past days, fear is grabbing a hold of people already even though nothing has happened.
...Except for the fact that one hedge fund already offered to buy the whole lot for 15% under, a few months ago. Why would smaller lots attract a lower price?

Why dont you start a thread and tell them and people can also tell you your opinion.
All you have to do is to go into the project development tab and start writing.
Hopefully people will listen to you.

But how people will buy my ideas and innovation,people will just see my thread and copy down the whole idea

Well, if you post a couple, people will be able to see the quality of your ideas and judge whether your others are likely to be any good.

Re: Why are psychics bearish on bitcoin?
by
eoJ
on 30/05/2014, 07:14:27 UTC
Actually I'm genuinely interested, can you give me some kind of evidence that would suggest that psychics could have real psychic powers?
Serious question now. no trolling


There is none. If you're middle aged, I can tell you that if you live in a rural/semi rural area, you've got a large tree opposite your house, when you were young, you had an accident that's stuck in your mind, involving water, and that you're experiencing some major health problems right now (look in eye, knowing slight nod).




And one that'll apply to the average member of this forum (credit to Derren Brown, read it as if you've had a consultation with a psychic and they've sent you a letter with it):

Quote
You are a person prone to bouts of self-examination. This is in sharp contrast to a striking ability you have developed to appear very socially engaged, even the life and soul of the party; but in a way that only convinces others. You are all too aware of it being a façade.

This means that you will often be at a gathering and find yourself playing a part. While on the one hand you’ll be talkative and funny, you’ll be detaching yourself to the point where you will find yourself watching everything going on around you and feeling utterly unable to engage. You’ll play conversations back to yourself in your head and wonder what that person really meant when he said such-and-such — conversations that other people wouldn’t give a second thought to.

How have you learned to deal with this conflict? Through exercising control. You like to show a calm, self-assured fluid kind of stability (but because this is self-consciously created, it will create bouts of frustrated silliness and a delight in extremes, or at least a delight in being seen to be extreme). You most easily recognise this control in how you are with people around you. You have learned to protect yourself by keeping people at bay. Because in the past you have learned to be disappointed by people (and because there were issues with you adjusting to your sexuality), you instinctively keep people at arms’ length, until you decide they are allowed over that magic line into your group of close friends. However, once across that line, the problem is that an emotional dependency kicks in which leaves you feeling very hurt or rejected if it appears that they have betrayed that status.

Because you are prone to self-examination, you will be aware of these traits. However, you are unusually able to examine even that self-examination, which means that you have become concerned about what the real you is. You have become all too aware of façades, of sides of yourself which you present to the world, and you wonder if you have lost touch with the real and spontaneous you.

You are very creative, and have tried different avenues to utilize that ability. It may not be that you specifically, say, paint; it may be that your creativity shows itself in more subtle ways, but you will certainly find yourself having vivid and well-formed ideas which others will find hard to grasp. You set high standards for yourself, though, and in many ways are a bit of a perfectionist. The problem is, though, that it means you often don’t get stuff done, because you are frustrated by the idea of mediocrity and are wearied by the idea of starting something afresh. However, once your brain is engaged you’ll find yourself sailing. Very much this will likely lead to you having considered writing a novel or some such, but a fear that you won’t be able to achieve quite what you want stops you from getting on with it. But you have a real vision for things, which others fall short of. Particularly in your academic/college situation, you are currently fighting against restraints upon your desire to express yourself freely.

Your relationship with your parents (there is a suggestion that one is no longer around, or at least emotionally absent) is under some strain. You wish to remain fond of them but recent issues are causing frustration – from your side far more than theirs. In fact they seem unaware of your thoughts on the matter. Partly this is because there are ways in which you have been made to feel isolated from certain groups in the past – something of an outsider. Now what is happening is that you are taking that outsider role and defending it to the point of consciously avoiding being part of a group. This will serve you well in your creative and career pursuits. You have an enormous cynicism towards those who prefer to be part of a group or who exhibit any cliquey behaviour, and you always feel a pang of disappointment when you see your ‘close’ friends seeming to follow that route. Deep down it feels like rejection.

However, for all that introspection, you have developed a sensational, dry sense of humour that makes connections quickly and wittily and will leave you making jokes that go right over the heads of others. You delight in it so much that you’ll often rehearse jokes or amusing voices to yourself in order to ’spontaneously’ impress others with them. But this is a healthy desire to impress, and although you hate catching yourself at it, it’s nothing to be so worried about.

There’s also an odd feeling that you should have been born in a different century. You might be able to make more sense of that than I can.

There are some strong monetary shifts taking place at the moment. Both the recent past and what’s in store over the next few months represent quite a change.

You have links at the moment with America (FOR PEOPLE IN ENGLAND - IF YOU'RE IN THE US, SWAP THIS FOR THE UK)), which are quite interesting, and will look to yield worthwhile results. You’re naturally a little disorganized. A look around your living space would show a box of photos, unorganised into albums, out-of-date medicines, broken items not thrown out, and notes to yourself which are significantly out of date. Something related to this is that you lack motivation. Because you’re resourceful and talented enough to be pretty successful when you put your mind to things, this encourages you to procrastinate and put them off. Equally, you’ve given up dreams a little easily when your mind flitted elsewhere. There are in your home signs of an excursion into playing a musical instrument, which you have since abandoned, or are finding yourself less interested in. (This may alternatively relate to poetry and creative writing you’ve briefly tried your hand at and left behind you.) You have a real capacity for deciding that such-and-such a thing (or so-and-so a person) will be the be all and end all of everything and be with you for ever. But you’d rather try and fail, and swing from one extreme to the other, than settle for the little that you see others content with.

Conclusion: It’s very interesting doing your reading, as you do present something of a conundrum, which won’t surprise you. You are certainly bright, but unusually open to life’s possibilities – something not normally found among achieving people. I’d say you’d do well to be less self-absorbed, as it tends to distance you a little, and to relinquish some of the control you exercise when you present that stylized version of yourself to others. You could let people in a little more, but I am aware that there is a darkness you feel you should hide (much of this is in the personal/relationship/sexual area, and is related to a neediness which you don’t like).

You really have an appealing personality – genuinely. Many thanks for doing this, and for offering something far more substantial than most.

Just like the others said: sell.

A few weeks back, I bought some cheap blackcoin at 3000 satoshis. At 90000 satoshis, I refused to sell. Look where it is now. Don't let it happen to you.

Can anyone show me one shitcoin that ever recovered from it's initial pump n dump?
Lucky you only said one, I can't think of any others: Dogecoin.

If you want to play that game ...  $2 was still well over the previous peak of about $ 1.20. So that gives us a low this time around of about $400 ie well over the previous peak of $260.

Then by all means buy your cheap coins now Smiley We will see who is right. Still the fact remains that the recovery failed to induce another pump to the moon. Instead it keeps going down. The opposite of post-april crash last year.



the post april crash took 6+ months to recover from
True, but it went up after the initial crash - the market moves in phases, climbs, drops and steadiness. I'd say we're heading up to $500 in the next ~2 weeks, and then sitting around there for a few months. You need some time for the market to calm down so people have time to actually use Bitcoin, strengthen things and iron out problems based on lessons learned during the boom and crash periods, and to stop people becoming bored of the topic. Then the foundations are set for another boom.
