  • Normally if people want referrals they will ask for them. If someone messages me (which they have in the past) with some kind of referral offer I delete it!

    im sorry but how is that SPAM?

    its advise to the question that was asked and trying to SAVE the person some money. Have you forgot the point of this site?

    It may not be strictly-speaking spam, but posting your own referrals outside the referrals board are not allowed. It's been reported and will, probably, get deleted.

    Edited to add: And of course it has been deleted - which will make parts of this thread a little confusing to read now.

    You've also gone in other threads and filled them with your referral link, after stating as fact the site you are pimping is the "safest and easiest place to buy".

    The problem I have with Ethereum is the name - it has too many connotations of stability and security. I think they should have called it Intangibucks, Impermacents or LoseYerDosh.

    Doesn't signify stability to me, quite the opposite actually.

    The name makes me think of ether - both in the sense of a rapidly evaporating (and so easily lost) liquid and in the sense of widely dispersed intangible atmosphere - as in 'lost in the ether'.

    Not at all stable or secure in either definition.

    Someone was able to generate a private key giving access to another persons wallet on this.

    Have you got a link to that? I tried to google but all I could find is people losing coins through phishing scams.

    coinbase are snowed under, as are all the exchanges.

    The infrastructure is getting better all the time, so give it time, then the mom and pops will all be trying to buy.
