well on another not looks like a share is going for .3 i wounder what it will be in another week i think if it got to like .5 a share that would be a good time to release the 500 new shares we wanted to release.
I'm confused. Did you issue the 500? It seems so, since the number of shares jumped from 5500 to 6000. It also seems you issued them for 0.4 BTC/share and 50 are left to be bought? |

That's a comepletely different story. Totally different.
I see you have changed your sig, I guess the affiliate program wasn't working out for you. There has been some limited referral activity though, about 10 referral downloads out of a total of 289. I have never operated a referral program in my life, so I have no idea how this stacks up to others. Don't suppose you have any suggestions on how it might be improved? I changed it because the guy who runs coinabul is someone I grew to like (I talk to him regularly) and he asked that favour, combined with the fact the the sig-space is only 300 chars and it wouldn't fit both ads without using url shortener, which I didn't want to do. I asked him not to be sad when I switch back to bitcointorrentz  I didn't put the ad there originally for the referrer money. I doubted from the beginning people would use it much. I myself often remove referrer info from ads before going to the page (or just enter the page's url manually). I don't exactly know why... Here's my referrer stats for everyones info: Referral Key: sdepe
Referral Downloads: 3
Total Hits: 171
Total Earnings: 0.017
Earnings Statistics
Earnings per Hit: 9.9E-5 btc
Conversion rate: 1.75 %
I will put the bitcointorrentz ad back in a couple of days. Probably without my referrer info... it just leaves a bad taste somehow. EDIT: Using this logic, I should probably also remove the coinabul referral info. However, if someone actually uses that to buy an ounce of gold there, that'd be considerable revenue for me |

That was pretty brutal to watch. I only managed to endure the first 3 minutes. Oooouch. It sure seems stupid people giggle a lot. EDIT: this sure fits, too: "first they ignore you, then they laugh about you, then they fight you, then you win". |

Yeah, in short, I produced the private keys offline, printed them once, wiped the drive. Wiped with cp /dev/zero /dev/sda twice.
The only copy I have is the physical copy that will go inside future coins. I don't have a copy of any I have sent out already. I don't need the private keys to load them, just the bitcoin address.
Yes I am aware of the typo on the holograms. Didn't see it until it was too late. Another batch of holograms is in production with this fixed (and other improvements).
Waaaat? You mean all coins purchased before now are the "rare 2011 casascius with typo" and sell for a much higher price at some point in the future? Nice! How many (will) have the typo? Wish I had bought more of them and not any given away. Hehe. I'll keep giving them away, they make such a nice gift and talk-starter. It's amazing how people seem to "think with their hands", playing with (and looking at) the coin when you explain hashing functions and distributed book-keeping. Touch activates brain |

Would it be hard to set up a seedbox? Would it be much different from the service you already offer?

 and yes, I changed "you" to "your" before I sent it. very good, that subject line might actually work. |

a standard account can only buy 5 shares per film on PMF.
"Basic Account", yes, seen that. This is something I would have to sort out before "going public". I doubt it'd be troublesome to get an account specifically for buying these shares... after all, there is nothing offered in return in this case (dividend or ownership), is there? |

Yes, but I'm talking about an organized criminal with the same tooling available to himself as Casascius passing off spent coins as unspent by putting a new hologram sticker on them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to belittle his acheivement. I'm just concerned that there will eventually be a determined criminal element that will undermine the trust in bitcoin in general if they can create distrust in physical bitcoins. It's not like doing so would actually be illegal in most places, since bitcoin isn't an official currency anywhere.
Yes, I think, unfortunately, this could be done. The hard part is probably getting the hologram manufactured. Mike (or anyone), can you elaborate on how hard this would be or if there'd be any other hassles for a counterfeiter? |

Another idea: we could issue shares for this movie on glbse, exchange the raised BTC for USD and successively buy shares on piratemyfilms.
comments?
successively? don't you mean succulently? succulently?? What I meant was: as soon as enough shares are bought on glbse, I will exchange the BTC for USD and buy a share of the film on PMF. |

The trading fee isn't that significant.
If I buy at 2.8, I only need the price to increase to 2.80756 - 2.8168 to make a profit. (Depending on fee tier)
goxsh begs to differ (assuming it's using 0.65% fee to calculate) $ profit 2.8
Short: < 2.76650
Long: > 2.83391

Now, this would be a whole lot easier if we could use bitcoins for that...
I am already working on that for PMF! stay tuned Wow, cool!!! Another idea: we could issue shares for this movie on glbse, exchange the raised BTC for USD and successively buy shares on piratemyfilms. comments? |

Is this just donating or do you get something back? Max will produce a video at the event and broadcast it on his TV shows. This will be HUGE for bitcoin, as so far he has just talked about the technology, but now he can show a large group of people actually using it. I encourage everyone to donate $5-$25 to fund this project. He only needs $800. This will be a professional video from Max that can go viral, and benefit everyone in the community. http://www.piratemyfilm.com/projects/291Now, this would be a whole lot easier if we could use bitcoins for that... ok, I reserved 1 share ($5), now how do I actually buy it? |

Observed the same thing on the buy side.
Yeah, see them now. This is providing some good liquidity. Maybe a big player (or group) is aiming to stabilize price a bit? Providing liquidity like this can also earn very good profit if the fluctuation continues. True. However, don't forget the trading fee. What other implications would this have on the market if kept up? I could imagine it'd instill some confidence. |

I can confirm that a friend tried silk road and got what he ordered. I myself was surprised.
