Topic: Renting accounts????? - page 3. (Read 3101 times)
Basically, it is possible. As long as it is allowed to sell Bitcointalk accounts. The main problem would be to get the account back when lending time is over. Of course you could lend it for a high rate but I doubt that you then would find someone for lending. Because it would be cheaper to buy a potential account and develop it.
This might work if you make them pay a %of their earnings to you.
Wont work long term and you put effort into something which is a flash in the pan.
Totally a crazy idea, given that the borrower of the account could do negative things with your account that could potentially leave you with a negative trust. Even buying forum accounts is not endorsed or even encouraged. Also, if the borrower of the account found out that the email you used in signing up in this site is not even registered, he/she might take it up and change your password. Bye-bye forum account.
It is possible to rent bitcointalk accounts out to trusted users 
I mean you could fix that w/ a couple people doing neutral tags to let everyone know it was being rented.
There could also be the issue of people faking an account being rented and therefore shifting blame off themselves.
The whole purpose of an account is to use it for signature campaigns, and with that tag system you propose there is no way that signature campaign manager will accept account like that.There could also be the issue of people faking an account being rented and therefore shifting blame off themselves.
Because there is not telling how exactly post quality will change with the new temporary owner of an account. So I feel it is totally counterproductive.

Sorry it was wrong thread.
What you could do is asking for a deposit if the account is used to scam the deposit and only refund it after 30 days to make sure the account was not used to scam anyone.
Why would anyone give a deposit? He can buy for that amount his own account. If deposit will be too low, risk still is on you..

Very high risk. Rent an account to strangers isn't safe. They can try to scam people or other illegal thing... They can spam on forum too and your account won't be allowed on signature campaigns anymore.
Just do it if you have a friend that you really trust.

Exactly!
Price accounts for many may be too high, but if account has a good history can easily be used to scam others or even take loans .. and bye bye your account is burned!

I think a bad idea, this forum has a lot of useful information and you can learn a lot, you should not create account just because you want to make money with signature
because by doing so you will post just because you want money and not because they give the opinion or because you want to contribute with something
Look at the forum as a place to learn something

how it does protect owner?
If you give you account's password to someone else they can change login details and if you give them to access to account then user can use the account for scam and get it negged or if he spam then account can banned.
there is no protection for owner

i think its not a good idea...person can misuse it in many ways...any negative trust and all hard work for the account holder will be in vain
I agree especially if you rent it and you didnt tell very exact rules because i once rented an account and i bended the rules, i copied pasted then and only one liners because it was what i was seeing at off topic, i even vist foreign language and used translator. LOLs.
It may be good as long as the split is good and the alt user knows what he is doing.

Would it be possible to rent bitcointalk accounts out to users wishing to participate in signature campaigns? I'd just like to know the practicality of one of my crazy ideas. Just a little FYI, I was considering buying an account and trying to profit from signature campaigns but found the price too high. So I was wondering if other people encounter the same issue and perhaps would want a place to "rent" an account from. Thanks for reading and responding!
Have you tried renting the accounts yourself ?
Renting accounts can be dangerous specially if the one who uses the accounts mis managed it and
use for spam purpose.
use for spam purpose.
How would one ensure that the account would be returned at the end of the agreed period? Escrow?
That only makes sense when you rent out to a user you really trust. Otherwise he might vanish with your account and reclaiming it through theymos takes a long time and sometimes even longer.
Besides that... he can ruin the account. Bad reputation, forum bans, signature bans.

Just save enough coins so you can buy yourself your own account. Renting is not a really good option since like thwy said, the account could be misused and te name of the real owner is the one who is at risk. If someone rents an account and it gets banned because of insubstantial posting, all your accounts will gwt a ban because all were connecte from the same IP so no. Don't even try. Jump to:
