Any chance you can provide me with a csv or something to subtract your (1tx) blocks ?
If you cant give me a csv, can you give me a ballpark estimate of how many 1tx blocks you mine per day or week?
I don't have such stats available, but hashes of ALL my blocks are published on my site.
You can use the link mentioned above to find out my blocks since 11.03.2012, that won't require you to download my stats.

Just find your block numbers in this table and remove them if they are marked as Deepbit's

why not just exclude blocks that were found within 15 seconds, this should eliminate most of deepbits 1-tx-blocks, no?
10642  Economy / Securities / Re: (GLBSE) TyGrr-Bank 3% weekly dividends on: March 24, 2012, 10:17:56 PM
I don't see why anyone would buy at over .103 when goat can buy back at any time he wants.

Please clarify. How can he buy back at any time?



Make interest rate 0%, place a buy for 10000 shares at .103 and walk away.   Clearly you wont have to sell to me but I think most people will. Clearly I cant offer 3% a week forever, this has to end sometime.

Very reassuring.

As for some people buying above .103, that is just some speculation some people are willing to take.  Maybe too risky as you state you won't offer 3% forever, but even making 1% a week is better than most returns for the dividends of mining companies listed.

true. If TyGrr-Bank runs for a while with no new shares and constant dividends (trust builds), I can see people trading it at 0.11 or more. It's a gamble, allright, but isn't investing in this a gamble to begin with? The returns are juicy, people might just "want in" and get carried away.

We could see our first debt bubble.

I guess this is suppose to have a different purpose than those sites. its not about a community but a actual database to hold sets (i want to replace megaupload still dumnping of sets, not hold a community around them).

I dont expect to compete with the likes of soundcloud, Its just an add free place with no b/s to host sets you can easily give to other people for direct downloads. I made it solely due to getting pissed of at FTP sites n shit bandwidth and never remembering where to find sets.

may I ask your age?
10644  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] Max Keiser's website PirateMyFilm.com now accepts Bitcoins! on: March 24, 2012, 10:07:21 PM
I see that another film project on PMF which I helped to fund is now having trouble collecting.  It was oversubscribed even when it hit green light state but then only 80% of the amount that was pledged ended up getting collected.

This can really cause a problem when the project director starts to make commitments based on the funding target being reached and then collections fall short.

One method to prevent this from occurring is to require payment (as escrow) at the time the pledge is made.  

what possibilities would we have for this technically with BIP 16?

10647  Economy / Securities / Re: [GLBSE] M.ETF - The first Mining ETF listed on the GLBSE on: March 24, 2012, 05:27:38 PM
We also still have 80.575 BTC of outstanding orders, so 33% of the portfolio is just BTC, and 31.81% of the portfolio is invested in companies that have either not paid a dividend yet, or pay monthly, so it was not included in this dividend.

Wow. Not bad at all. I expected less on the first payment. Good job!


get that rest of the capital workin then :-D

wouldnt it be more practical to just "forward" the dividens as they roll in sans the fees?



that would might reveal information about holdings.

if it's an ETF, holdings should always be known! no one read my thread?


I read your thread and it's valuable info. You should know I read it because I posted there, do you read your own thread? Wink.
I also read JL421 apology for misnaming M.ETF.

Please tone it down a little, 2WeiX, you're an enrichment for this community and people value that, but you seem to have a bad temper at times Wink.

I tried (and succeded as it turned up) to withdraw an astronomic amount of 61.58$ on my bank account via international wire. My account is in euro but that is of no importance.
Can you guess how much of the 61.58$ made it to the account?

5.54euro which is almost 7.33$.

You should've used bitcoin.

Thats going to become a saying in the future.

You paid how much for your mortgage? Should have used bitcoin mate.

half-naked girl behind screen: "Ugh, this guy pulled a chargeback on me", "Well, honey, you should've used bitcoin"
guy on phone: "Maaan, I'm in jail, got caught dealing dope on the street", "Jo homie, you shoulda used bitcoin!".

Well, it seems bitcoin makes most sense in areas that are either disreputable (porn, prostitution) or criminal (drug trade, banking).

I tried several hours to create signed commands to send over the socket instead of the old api.

I used this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=49789.msg592388#msg592388, it works.


Yes, I used that too, for my old http api. I try to update to socket-only, which supposedly is almost the same.. Almost, but for me not close enough *sigh*

Thanks for replying!

Ente

"socket-only"? I know of the "new" and "old" (1, 2) http apis. And I know of socket.io interface for depth/trades (no auth necessary). Care to explain?

The overlap between "/r/gonewild reader" and "bitcoin user" has probably increased in size due to this thread, but is probably not large enough to make this lucrative.
10651  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Wonder who this solominer is? 88.6.216.9 on: March 24, 2012, 02:25:04 PM
What is the highest tx fee this miner has rejected? What tx fee would he need to reject to be an 'attacker'?

It's likely he rejects all transactions. Reasoning being: he's rejecting because of some restraints he's working under. If he had the tech in place and it wouldn't harm his operation in any way, I'm sure he would include transactions.
10652  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Wonder who this solominer is? 88.6.216.9 on: March 24, 2012, 02:21:40 PM
I'd be willing to bet $100 of my own real money that this is a botnet.

If you go ahead and formulate a bet at http://betsofbitco.in/, I will bet against you.

EDIT: I didn't say I would bet $100 worth.

Lets get a champaign going to inform the wild girls of reddit that they can get Bitcoin for displaying their naughty bits. I'm thinking they can overlay a firstbits address in their uploaded images to encourage donations for their bad behaviour. Turn those upvotes into $$$

True. I bet these breast are actually nice, why screw them up like that... maybe some fetish some have. I'd also like to see her surely beautiful eyes. I don't understand porn that reduces to "parts" anyhow. I want the complete picture of the juicy fruit. Well,... actually I want the juicy fruit, but that's a different story.

TyGrr-Bank Now operational on GLBSE!

TyGrr-Bank is a BTC bond that will pay weekly dividends every Tuesday 6:00 PM Thailand time.

This is an easy and safe way to lend small amounts of BTC.

The current rate is 3% each week!

Each bond will be sold at .103 BTC and will be bought back at any time at .1 BTC.

This spread is here because you do not need to hold the bond for a full week to get the dividend payment.


Thanks!

  

I see what you did there.  You are getting a portion of the bond a free 0% weekly loan.

You should be buying them back at .103 BTC instead of .100 BTC to give the bond holders "3% each week".  You state that it is not necessary for the bondholder to hold the bond for a whole week to get the dividend payment of 0.003 BTC per share. If someone buys the bond at 0.103 BTC and holds it for a week and gets 0.003 BTC, then when they go to sell it at 0.100 BTC you will essentially be getting a 0% weekly loan.

The bond holder would have to hold the bond for 2 weeks to receive the "3% each week" rate.

My 0.02 BTC on the subject:

Be it 0.103/0.10 or 0.10/0.97 (it is a difference, percentage-wise), I think it's really good to do it this way. The "secondary" market handles everything in between really well and I think it's fair.

As to "you have to hold it for 2 weeks to get 3%", this is not necessarily true, exactly because of the secondary market. At the beginning of the week it would be disadvantageous to buy at 0.103, but there are people that just collected dividends and want to sell. Supply and demand will meet somewhere in the middle, maybe at 0.101. As the week goes on, prices will rise again because dividends are soon to be payed.

EDIT: of course this only works this way when IPO shares for 0.103 are available. Now it's a different kind of game (IPO shares gone), prices will rise well above 0.103. Goat, what's your policy on releasing more shares? I hope you only release them IF you can make use of the money? I'd rather see you not issue more and keep the 3% dividends as opposed to issuing more and lowering dividends.
