It is always hard to predict bitcoin value.
No one could imagine bitcoin price went from literally valueless to $1000 in 5 years and went from $1150 to $500 in 2 weeks.
Anyway, I have confidence in bitcoin and believe the price could be much much higher a few years later.

It always starts off small - like a UI that tells you coins are no longer fungible. It will lead into a locked down Bitcoin - that the rich wants.

Example: As the Bitcoin price goes from $10 to $20, the prices of goods/services goes down from 20BTC to 10BTC. As the Bitcoin price goes from $20 to $10, the prices of goods/services goes from 10BTC to 20BTC!

So is this why my 3 year old account has been banned ? I have 1/4 of my last 100 + posts in off topic so I get banned? Even if my posts are constructive. And how long is my account banned for?
I don't spam yet I get banned... How does one find out how long their account is banned?

I must say, I know that you do make a lot of posts but I having just checked your posts I don't see much wrong with the content.
I imagine that the gripe is that you trawl each topic and find something to say in each, without getting into too many conversations.
So while some people amass posts by discussing a few topics, you tend to make remarks in many different topics. I'm kind of the same, I post opinions and such in different topics, but that's mostly because I can't be arsed to trawl back through pages of replies to other people.
Question: Is there a convenient way to check if somebody has replied to you i.e. quoted you?
If there is then I would imagine that I would get into more conversations
I don't have much to say on this really. It's clear to me there is little room for transparency for banning an account and alot of room for abuse.
Best thing I can suggest is to use the "show new replies to your posts" feature so you can check threads you've posted on. Not very easy if you simply forget what topics you posted in or haven't posted in the thread in a while and can't find your post.
Don't worry it's very obvious. All their posts are copy/pastes

I found another spambot: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/darkangle2014-327572
Seems you're right, but best to provide some evidence with the post so mods don't have to go looking for it. Sometimes they're not easy to spot at a quick glance.
So now they're banning anyone who mentions how shoddy their IPO was on the Google groups forum.

Maybe that was just if the person 'resigned' early from the campaign then.

Yes, if you had been advertising for Gaw Miners over a week and had over 50 posts, you could resign and be paid earlier. As others said however, payments would otherwise be automatic, requiring no further communication from either party.
Here are my humble opinions.
For someone making tons of useless posts, I believe a mod should delete the posts to give them a warning, and ban the user insists on making useless posts, and delete all his posts.
If you only ban the accounts, the users may still be able to collect their payment on that month (so they are still paid for spamming).

Wouldn't it be possible to remove signature privileges from users caught spamming while promoting a service in their signature? I guess it depends on the campaign, but I'd say most would assume the user had left the campaign and decline to pay automatically, without there being a need for someone to go over every post from that user to check if it was relevant or not.

I'm sure there are different levels of punishment. If someone gets banned for a week or two then take that as a warning. Posts do get deleted by mods occasionally, but there are also different levels of spam. Some could be completely irrelevant and off-topic or one word replies and others could be arguably relevant and on-topic but also really vague and essentially pointless. I guess each instance is dealt with on a case by case basis.
And most sig deals you have to PM or post you collect your payment, but Ritz's automatic.
Apart from Rtiz, participants of the GAW and Zoomhash programs (both handled by EvilPanda), the LuckyBit program (handled by howzar) and the Minersource program will get paid without any PM or post on payday.
I think you have to post and 'resign' from the Gaw one to collect your payment, or at least from what I can make out.
As someone entered the campaign and received payment, I can tell you Farmer17 is right.

The post restriction uses IP's instead of account names. This could be exploited from someone with a proxy list.

There's not a way to tell who directly quoted you but that would be a good feature. Maybe suggest it for the new forum?

Yeah there's a ton of garbage being posted in off topic lately. I suspect it's paid sig spammers giving themselves threads to reply to.
I've suggested posts in off topic shouldn't count towards post count.
I've suggested posts in off topic shouldn't count towards post count.
Hmm, not sure if the people behind the bots are from the paid sigs or not, but a lot obviously just jump at the chance to post something in a nonsense thread as soon as it's posted. Maybe having certain boards that don't affect your post count would cut the down the spam a bit, but I think it'd also just move a lot of it to somewhere else and we'll then see stupid discussions in the politics section or whatever.
I think we should disable the postcount feature entirely, don't you think ? We have activity , that should suffice.
I've actually suggested that too in the past, but it would still be relatively easy to determine posts, knowing there are 20 per page. I've resigned myself to the fact that we're going to have start banning people, didn't want to but it's getting out of hand. Banned a dozen this morning alone (1 week/2 week duration to start), with a dozen more under review, and I'm just getting started.
