So how does someone get involved in this?

I have my legendary status who and how do I signup to advertise services/companies as such ?

Thanks!

It usually makes sense to wait for a while to see your ideal campaign. Just check 'Services' section regularly.

The address in question has a 0 balance (see here. It looks like .05 was transferred to one address (likely your personal address to claim the tip) and 4.9998 was sent to 1MuCGwYWCDJCQJy5aoJaGSDDriRt1F2BPm on 3/9/14 via TX 140688a73d67f4bbaf59c117c3df67f115984d40e70ba469f4f9c76932648082
Ah fuck. It should be in there, but I already know what happened. I have been using the new Electrum version (instead of the old 1.8.1) and there that address wasn't frozen (for some reason the new version didn't see it). I will send the 5BTC back to that address. Sorry for this. The 0.05BTC was indeed a tip for my service.

EDIT: The 5BTC has been send back to proof that I still have it. a5bcaa2da1c85c0b1649b36741dd0bf4fc61077bccd532a8b5a0a25d7ec25746

@bitcoininformation do you pay the enrolled users with the escrow funds ?  And also @dooglus ( I remember he has got ~10 btc escrow ).
I do not. The 5BTC will only be used if DiceBitco.in doesn't pay its signatuer campaing participants. Also, Dooglus has 5BTC just like me.

Okay, I read up on that thread (thanks!) and it looks to me like the sig campaign hasn't been the issue, they're having problems with a possible hack or security breach and their bankroll.  Seems premature to put the sig campaign * up unless they actually missed a payday already.
That is exactly my reasoning. This is a "Signature overview"-topic and not a "Gambling overview"-topic, so I won't be adding an asterisk on their campaign yet. I have no reason to believe that they won't pay. This is, of course, my current opinion. It can change in the future.

Dicebitco.in (Thread)
Miscellaneous: Site is going through a major reputation crisis. Roughly 6,000 BTC has been withdrawn from the bankroll in the last 12 hours. There are accusations of cheating both users (gamblers) and investors. I would suggest adding an asterisk to the campaign and editing the description to reflect the credibility issues. Also can you please confirm that 5 BTC is still being held in escrow (preferably by providing the address funds are being held in).
I can confirm that I still hold those funds. You can check the signed message here.

I may write code in exchange for bitcoins.
What is going on with dicebitco.in?  The sig thread is locked, or else I can't find the proper one.  But I don't see any other gripe or scam thread started anywhere.  Where's the evidence and discussion on this one?

Discussion taking place in their main thread:

The signature program took suspicious moves, in my opinion. They made separate transaction for each user, and released no info about the total amount paid, then closed their signature thread, so no discussion can take place about the signature program anymore, including about the reputation crisis that is happening.

At least they have escrow, but I guess might suffice to pay everyone.
They paid out ~12 btc last month (per this post). They need a little more then 18 BTC if they are able to pay out 200 posts for all 100 participants (is it 18 based on 20 full members and 80 senior members, but some people have dropped and there are a few hero members enrolled).

I'm probably going to end this campaign after this term as dealing with this has become a full time headache.

Thanks

End of an era?  Grin

Oh dear.

That would be like the downfall of the roman empire, for the signature campaign world.

Hope Stunna reconsider his decision

I highly doubt that thats what he meant. DiceBitco.in has been getting new players because PD is having issues (and because Dooglus plays there). So if PD stops the signature campaign their flow of new members will most likely decrease.

I see where you're coming from but there will always be the loyal members to PD gambling there and it has already made out as the most trusted site. (in light of the DiceBitcoin fiasco).

The Cryptcominer (alleged Ponzi) signature campaign doesn't accept newbie participants any more.

Hopefully not. I think Stunna is just understandably stressed with the release of PD3 and trying to sort all its problems then add on top people constantly pestering him about sig payments etc (though I understand their frustration too). I don't think it would be wise for him to cease all advertising from here. Yeah, he has the rep and community already but I still think he needs a forum prescence to attract newbies to the site. Rep and prominence can quickly dwindle, especially with all the other dicesites advertising, but I think PD's campaign will still live on in some capacity (at least I hope).

I don't think so. There will be more signature campaigns. PD is as popular as it is because of their signature campaign. When they close their campaign they will lose a lot of their market share. I would suspect that dicebitco.in will expand both their campaign and their market share. We will see other gambling sites that become successful and other bitcon related sites that will want their signatures advertised.
