I don't even think it's profitable to just post for givaways and stuff.

It could be very profitable. If you're willing to put in the work and have a handful of accounts posting with signature deals you could earn a decent wage. Look at all the coins that get given away in their infancy; if you hold on to them they might be worth something.

hmm... 50 posts with primedice is 0.03 BTC I believe.
0.03 BTC ~ $20

Not any more. Stunna dropped his payment to 0.0002 per post. 50 posts is now 0.01, but you can still get his max payout of 0.4btc but for 2000 posts. Still, as you said, not bad for just posting.

It takes about 1.5 min * 50 = 75 minutes for $20

75 minutes is 1.25 hours which means that posting is about $16 an hour.

That's an OK wage, not too bad but not too much either for just posting

These people are trying to get many alternate cryptos by making multiple accounts and posting different addresses. They appear legitimate with there many posts, each of which consists of almost entirely posting for giveaways. Some of them are trying to get paid for their signature space Angry

I think there are worse and more nefarious uses of alt/sock puppet accounts, to be honest.

I suggest you just state in your terms that it's only one per person and you must be a regular contributor to the forums, and that you will not pay out to anybody who you suspect has multiple accounts, but obviously this is difficult to prove.

Is giving them negative feedback OK?

Yup, you can give anyone feedback about anything (the system isn't moderated)

If you are in newbie jail, post in newbie section about Skeincoin and then pm me your address. Tongue

Thanks for pointing out your thread by the way, hadn't seen this.

I removed that.

Yes, the trust system isn't moderated

I just thought... They had 50 posts without anything happening.
