Somebody please say it isn't so.

Sounds like it's true.
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/25/business/apparent-theft-at-mt-gox-shakes-bitcoin-world.html?_r=1

MtGox bought gox.com just like the document said. And gox.com is not pointing mtgox.com

Where are the NY times getting their sources from?

It's the NY Times for crying out loud. They don't need sources, duh.

During the major run up based on China demand, I called into question the legitimacy of the China exchanges reserves and if they could cover all the BTC on the books. It's funny that the whole time Mt Gox had nothing behind them. Sad. But funny. Wish people running multi million dollar exchanges could get a solid head on the shoulders though. It would benefit Bitcoin tremendously.

Sorry, haven't been paying much attention.

So did the new monarch Asic's ship in January like they said? It is January 31st. I'm sure BFL has come a long way in their past 3, 4, 7 failed attempts at delivering a product to spec, and on time, right?

Re: WTF Escrow Service - Now available - 1% fee.

In your advertising period can you make it 0% I hope if you start with 0% fee and fluent service then you will get more users to give you backup and to make trustworthy.

There are plenty of escrows out there. I'm not forcing anyone to use me. You can use a free one or one you trust more. However, there are risks involved for the escrow, and so I am not going to be doing it for free without some additional circumstances that will certainly not apply to every case.

Am I able to nominate a non-profit to be a recipient?

Bitcoin100 is not a structured organization, ad is owned and run by donors and anyone else wishing to help. So everyone is free to nominate and contribute.

The Road Home accepts Bitcoin donations through a coinbase widget right on their donation page. On their Give link under Make a Donation, they have it split between cash donations on the left and Bitcoin on the right. They provide emergency shelter and run a winter shelter.

Any idea when they added bitcoin donations? I'm also curious as to how they decided on it.

This should answer your question, Rassah: http://www.meetup.com/Utah-Bitcoin-Community/messages/boards/thread/39924902

Yeah, it looks like just after Thanksgiving this year. Does that disqualify them? Or is that recent enough and have an appropriate non-profit mission?

Hello,

I have finished the month. Please issue payment to the address above.

If I continue into the next month, would I get the new amount or am I still entitled to the old?

He hasn't made any payments for weeks to those due. I wouldn't count on getting your last months, nor anything in the future, even the smaller amount.

Issue is I need personal gain to just like any other thing I "sell" to clients either it be car loans, home loans or investments...I take 2000+ calls a month ...I need some sort of personal gain.

So, you buy a bunch of bitcoins first, and as the price goes up because of your hard work, then you have personal gain?

Yet, you're still behind on shipping 5 months.... when are you going to catch up? That's right, you aren't because you've already started your next prorder scam.

Man...you are truly outdated...or a liar...

Josh have Pros and cons but i pretty hate liar shit like most of the pathetic/pathological trolls.

Come with strong argument or go home.

Since the title didn't say all caught up, or anything like that, didn't read it. Last one that had a shipping report was just days before that and is exactly what I quoted. Only problem with jalapenos shipping in the next few days, is that really the next few days, or BFL trademarked, shipping in two weeks?

Where are the lies, I mean updates, on the monarch at ?

45,000 shipped units later, we see what an idiot Volavak and Elux truly are.  This is why you don't listen to the current crop of trolls like Darin "Bicknellski" Bicknell, Christian "Xian" Antkow, Bryan "I'm a degenerate" Micon, etc... they all have no idea what they are talking about and have agendas to push.  They simply can not be honest with you and post truthful information.  They *must* post false information to prop up their false allegations and outright lies, upon lies, upon lies.  Then they disappear... *poof* when it's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they lied and lied about everything they claimed was true of BFL.

Cast as many aspersions as you want... BFL is still here.  BFL has delivered more units than any other vendor and powers most of the network than anyone else.  Where are the trolls?  Gone... but there's always new ones waiting to take their place.

Are CPU mining allowed or supported on BTC Guild?

If you use a stratum proxy, I believe so. Estimate your ROI though. 100 worth of electricity should return you a penny or two of BTC. Not a bit penny, fiat penny. You'll wear out your hardware faster. CPU mining is only for botnets and better done on an alt chain of some sort.

It's inherently classist. Only those with access to moderately high levels of technology can spend or receive it. Only those with access to exceedingly high levels of technology can "mine" it. Heterosexual, middle class or higher white males are disproportionally represented in the demographics of bitcoin users. Bitcoin only serves to uphold the current kyriarchal socioeconomic structures by making sure the privileged become more privileged.

And it's a terrible idea. You spend more on your parents' electricity bill and replacing burnt out GPUs that your parents buy for christmas and birthdays than you actually theoretically make.

Bitcoins are basically just this weird attempt by lolbertarian children to make their own currency and play stock market and dodge taxes.

Yes, because China, who is currently moving most of the money, are all middle class or higher white males and fit your general stereotype perfectly  Roll Eyes
This comment doesn't even deserve a proper response.

White people are 8% of the world population. White males are about half of that. So either prove less than 4% of bitcoin users are white males or admit you're full of BS.

Where did he get those numbers?

His ass.

Re: Forum Member Advertising System -Idea-

Bitcointalk is a forum filled with bitcoin related businesses, offers, and entrepeneurs. Bitcointalk is also a highly concentrated community of bitcoin consumers and enthusiasts. Posting in the marketplace thread is a great way to attract attention towards your website, product, or service; but for that to be effective it needs to stay at the top of the forum, which can be a daunting task.

Here's the idea. Dedicate a spot or a couple spots on the forum for advertisement. This could include banner ads on the top/bot of the page, a skyscraper ad on the left/right, etc. Create a tab or area dedicated for "advertisement." In this area there will be a dedicated button or area for advertisement templates, advertisement library/edit, advertisement upload, and bid options. The advertisement templates are a tool used by the community that can be downloaded to create a template for the correct size ad that can be bid on. Once finished, click on the advertisement upload button and select the advertisement you created from your computer, and upload it to the site. After doing so your ad will appear in your advertisement library. From the library/edit feature, you can select one of your advertisements and edit it; assigning your ad to a link, hover-over description, etc. Then go to the bid options area. From here users can select one of their advertisements from their library and using the advertisement options, create an advertisement that airs on the web. The options would include length of duration (in days), budget, and advertisement placement (determined by which template banner you used. Skyscraper advertisements are assigned to their respective ad space, and banners to theirs). After inputting all of the options, an estimate advertisement views will be given, along with a bitcoin address to deposit their BTC to. The ad will run from the time their BTC transaction has been confirmed to the time their duration is up.

How ad priority works.
Of course, much more than 1 ad will be bought at a given time. The way ad priority works is as follows:
Your ad "strength" can be calculated by BTC spent/duration (in days). Your ad strength is then divided by the total ad strength of a given ad space and that is the percentage of page views that will see your ad.

EX: User A, B, and C spend money to advertise on the top banner ad.
User A spends 2 BTC over a 5 day span.
User B spends .5 BTC over a 1 day span.
User C spends .9 BTC over a 3 day span.

Advertisement A has an ad strength of .4
Advertisement B has an ad strength of .5
Advertisement C has an ad strength of .3

On the first day the total ad strength is 1.2
Advertisement A is shown on 33.3% of all page views
Advertisement B is shown on 41.7% of all page views
Advertisement C is shown on 25% of all page views

On the second day Advertisement B's duration is up, and will no longer be shown.

The total ad strength is now only .7
Advertisement A is shown on 57.1% of all page views
Advertisement C is shown on 42.9% of all page views

On the 4th day Advertisement A is the only ad left, and will be shown on all page views.

The total ad strength and advertisement showing percentages are updated with each relevant advertisement purchase, and the numbers can and will fluctuate Through an ad's duration.


Using this system will allow all users to have an opportunity to advertise with little hassle to a highly relevant audience, without having to rely on their market threads to be viewed. This system will also bring in a healthy income for bitcointalk, and the users are shown relevant ads that they may very well be interested in.


Post your thoughts below  Smiley

Do you not see the ads that are currently on the forums? Go under the marketplace and auctions, and see how much they rake in. There is already an advertising system in place and it rakes in bank for the forum.
