Title: A Bitcoinica for Mining Contracts
Post by: J.K. Schmidt on April 25, 2012, 09:00:35 PM
What would be the economic effects of a highly-liquid speculation market on Bitcoin mining contracts?

I'm curious.

You can already buy and sell mining shares on GLBSE,
it is not highly liquid,
but I am sure you can easily get what you need in terms of hash rate.

GLBSE is getting better every day, check out dev.glbse.com to see what the next update will bring.

On the horizon is short selling, options and margin.

I'm curious as to if the OP is masking his IP through Tor. If not, then ignore this post. If so, then I have a theory.

Based on the TOR comment, I'm guessing money laundering via mining, but I have no idea why Phinnaeus Gage is making such suggestive comments without any evidence.

I don't get it.

I don't get it.

I was insinuating that the OP could be Atlas given the contents of his posts, coupled with the time of day he posts and date he joined this forum. But, as I've stated, I could be mistaken, at which point an apology, my me, would be in order.

A dead sockpuppet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockpuppet_(Internet)). It was meant as a good joke, but not if it has to be explained. A poster stated that Atlas is dead. I responded with an old sock on the road showing that at least one of his sockpuppets has been banned (dead). The OP of this thread has posted five times to date, three of those posts are starts of new threads. The OP registered a day after Atlas (and his other known alias) has been banned again. The OP's MO seems similar to Atlas. I am on record for stating that the OP of this thread and Atlas are the same person. If I am proven wrong, an apology will be order, by me, to the OP. One quick way to know, albeit still not for sure, is if the OP is masking his IP, hence my first post on this thread.
