Mods should be deleting / locking these threads and banning anyone that posts anything related to buying or selling accounts.
IDK why they would do that. It is not against forum rules to trade accounts. You have a referral link to a website that you can rent hashpower from. There is 0 way that anyone could ever rent hashpower at a rate below what the rented hashpower can produce in mined coins (if they could then the rig owner would simply mine himself). The buyer will always get a bad deal. There are several legitimate reasons why people would want to buy a forum account.
Renting hash can be profitable and is handy if you don't have the hardware to mine an algo of coin you think could have potential.
I now only have sha-256 mining equipment but rent rigs for other algos if I see some potential in a newly launched non sha-256 coin (not very often I must admit).
Buying / selling established accounts could lead to newbies being scammed from a 'reputable member'.
Some people might say that's fair game and if they're stupid enough to trade without escrow then they deserve it, which in reality is true.
You can use purchased accounts to participate in signature campaigns to earn BTC, to avoid the posting limits, for the prestige of higher level accounts.
Some people leave their rigs on rental sites 24/7. I wouldn't be able to mine anything other than sha-256 coins if I didn't rent. As mentioned for me this is usually only the launch of a new coin I see some potential in.
Yes established accounts can be used for that reason, they can also be used to defraud.
I see more negatives than positives in selling forum accounts, you see more negatives than positives in mining rig rentals.
Back on topic: As previously mentioned, my offer to buy hero accounts for altcoins has ended. I saw mixed results at best. I will consider any offers I receive via PM, but I doubt I will receive serious offers.
Locking thread.
