0.11 per block is about 67.6 * 0.11 / 25 = 0.297 TH/s

Let's see whether this number increases after a couple of hours. Otherwise, let's see how labcoin explain where's their 5+ Th.
well these figures are rather disappointing.

Well, do remember these are from 14-15 hours ago.

Possibly they had a test set of boards running at a very low level before ramping up to the full set.

We'd know if they'd, you know, tell us.

Weird, my calculations show pretty close to actual 2 TH (assuming of course regular payments to that address). Between the first and last payment there is a bit over 10 hours. BTC3.63 over that time period estimates ~ BTC8.62 per day. 2 TH, according to the BTC calculators yields BTC8.93 per day. So I'd say currently about 2 TH.

EDIT: I'm sure someone with a bit of programming knowledge can do tracking of, let's say, hash rate 5-day moving average solely from information from that address. That should give us a good estimation of their true hash rate.

The first payment can't be counted - it's a backlog of probably days of mining.

A more realistic figure makes it look like LABCOIN has two Avalons.

what I am saying is fact if the odds of wining a bet are 2,000-1 statistically speaking you would need 2,000 bets to win it might take 1 bet it might take 4,000 but it would be irresponsible of them to open a website that has not been tested with a high volume of transactions


I have just looked on there site and the highest multiplier is 64,000 so if they were testing that one until they win it could take a lot ore that 64k bets to win it

you will never really know what they are doing unless they tell you
If you're a programmer you know that you don't need to test 64,000 times to verify it does payout. They're certainly using the same code for 97% as 0.001%, just with a different variable.

There is no legitimate excuse to botting this amount of bets. If Peter Nolan disagrees, he's welcome to explain.
1463  Economy / Gambling / Re: Betcoindice.tm Untrustworthy: Fakes volume, makes house bets on blockchain. on: September 19, 2013, 07:19:24 AM
I don't get what your trying to get at or what the problem is?

I actually done very well playing there on good days. Support (Peter) is always quick on issues that I have had and been
taking care of. If what your saying is true I don't see what the big deal is. If creating fake traffic brings in customers and he pays
all winning bets, more power to him.
BTC gambling sites are starting to pop-up every where and if that gives them the edge to bring more players then it's better than paying for advertising. Or maybe he just likes to move his big bank roll around when he gets bored..heh

The site is legit, I've cashed out large amounts this month and it's been paid on every cashout with a 2min wait before hitting my wallet.

The place is always my first stop whenever I got some spare change to waste.

Unless  I'm missing something?

I disagree. I believe that is unethical, dishonest and indicates untrustworthy behavior.
1464  Economy / Gambling / Re: Betcoindice.tm Untrustworthy: Fakes volume, makes house bets on blockchain. on: September 19, 2013, 07:01:30 AM
have you not considered that could have been testing the website ?



Yeh a sneaky 10,000 bets a day testing.

There's a testnet for a reason

if they are testing each bet to make sure when it wins it pays out and there is a bet that is 20,000-1 that could be over 20,000 bets just to test that 1 bet

( not sure what the odds on there bets are as I haven't been on the site )

No.

In the future please don't comment on matters you don't understand.
1465  Economy / Gambling / Re: Betcoindice.tm Untrustworthy: Fakes volume, makes house bets on blockchain. on: September 19, 2013, 06:46:27 AM
What is the purpose of doing such? I would assume to "Appear busy" ? I guess I don't understand as the founder would surely not waste his time making .03 bets all day. Just for the record they do promote in a lot of locations.

I suggest reading the OP and looking up the addresses I mentioned before responding. The founder of course isn't manually betting, but rather it's an automated script to get on the frontpage of blockchain.info and create the impression that it is legitimate from it's "popularity".

Would you elaborate on what your accusing them of doing please?

Creating the illusion that people are playing on Betcoindice.tm when it is just them making bets themselves. Take a look at the addresses that received 0.03 BTC.

I've been quite puzzled from the fact that betcoindice.tm, a newly created and unknown dice/spin the wheel site, is getting so many transactions as observed on the homepage of Blockchain.info. Here's the results from blockchain digging.

Funds ~100 addresses with 0.03 BTC each along with inputs from 16wnSLn1BxLAsLZi8weuLh4cdR19bsXRkP

What are the thousands of funded addresses being used for?
Continuously betting on Betcoindice.

Pick one of the colored addresses in this trail, look up one of the ~100 addresses they've funded, and that address bets on betcoindice exclusively non-stop.

I've been looking into betcoindice's transactions and I've found evidence of house bets / blockchain spamming. Will make a new thread.

Uses same source code as BitcoinWallet.in, a confirmed scam.
1470  Economy / Securities / Re: [LABCOIN] IPO [BTCT.CO] - Details/FAQ and Discussion (ASIC dev/sales/mining) on: September 19, 2013, 06:08:46 AM
Labcoin just got another block payment, .1198
So another smaller miner decided to jump into the "set slush payout address to labcoin's" bandwagon.
1471  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Electrum, inputs.io and bitcoind (.01 BTC REWARD) on: September 19, 2013, 06:05:17 AM
So if I were to develop a webapp that will have multiple users depositing and withdrawing bitcoins. What is currently the best bitcoin wallet to use? Bitcoind?

Any other bitcoin wallet other than bitcoind can generate unique bitcoin address through API and can do callbacks when funds arrive and confirm?


Thanks!
Inputs.io is offchain so you or your users don't have to pay TX fees, nor wait for confirmations. As with any off chain solution this means you'll need to trust the operators of the offchain network.

It's also pretty easy to set up callbacks, just enter a callback URL in the Security tab of a newly created account and enter your callback URL.
1472  Economy / Securities / Re: [LABCOIN] IPO [BTCT.CO] - Details/FAQ and Discussion (ASIC dev/sales/mining) on: September 19, 2013, 03:38:03 AM

A reverse auction is quite useless if there's no end time.

So let me get this right. Someone mined 3 BTC and sent it to the Labcoin wallet to cause a price spike?

Which I bought into.

How dumb am I? What kind a person does this?
Only Labcoin and a possible manipulator knows if this is true or not.

You have to be whitelisted in order to recieve auto-tips and to participate in the referral contest.
I hangout there for almost a month but im still not white listed Tongue
I don't think it's easy to earn free mBTC there but at least it has lots of nice people to chat and say interesting stuff and the level of conversation is really good.
I can say my time spending there was really fun   Smiley
Not anymore, even if you're unwhitelisted you can earn a bit.

Say there's Bank A, B, and C and they issue the IOU's USD.A, USD.B, USD.C respectively. They are all liquidity providers for the others.
Gateways, generally speaking, don't provide each other liquidity. Market makers do that. A gateway that needed to might provide some "backstop liquidity" to ensure the assets it issues are liquid, but it's not likely to handle assets issued by other gateways as part of its ordinary course of business, unless it had some specific reason to. Why add unnecessary risk?

By that, you mean regular ripple users become liquidity providers and will end up holding worthless IOUs. You'd have to run rippled if you don't want to be a liquidity provider. Liquidity providers takes on a significant risk of losing money without any reward.

Speculating on the prices of XRP is much more important than not making your users carry on significant risks. There's real world examples of people that have lost money. But if ripple users were not liquidity providers by default (charging 0% fee while taking on non-zero risk), Ripple's payment system won't be functional.

This is just one of the many flaws of ripple, and if you do your own research you'll get the real picture of what Ripple and OpenCoin Inc is. I'll elaborate upon these points in a rewrite of RippleScam.org soon.

What license will the Ripple server be licensed in?

Anyway, "going open source" is too vague, and the OpenCon guy here didn't respond to the actual concerns.

Right now, Ripple is 100% centralized. It's very easy to take it out. Is it going to change?
I suppose you are more genius than Google who invested 200K.  Roll Eyes
Ripple may even have more success than Google Buzz or Google Wave, which they invested tens of millions in minimum each.

Google, much like Zynga, acquired aardvark for $50 million. It was discontinued shortly after. They also acquired Jaiku, which failed and was discontinued shortly after. They also acquired Dodgeball, whose founders left to make Foursqaure, and Dodgeball was discontinued shortly after.

If Google thinks Ripple is great, why did they also fund Buttercoin? Perhaps it's about the evaluation that something may be a profitable investment depending on the conditions that OpenCoin Inc offered.

Start thinking for yourself and evaluating systems yourself instead of blindly following? Too difficult for those who can only reproduce the same point again and again, but that's OK - all they care about is the short term value of XRP, despite what they claim otherwise.

Ah yes...Tradefortress rhetoric with my morning coffee.  The sweet sounds of defeat.   Grin  I can't believe you have the cojones to even post, as your long term campaign against Ripple gets exposed as the only real scam.  A scam you invented to protect your own closed source, IOU issuing business.  You certainly tried, I'll give you that little guy.  But true innovation can't be stopped by some random haters with mouths full of ignorance and lies.  Have you learned nothing from Bitcoin?

For all of you that listened to this Tradefortress fraud...maybe next time you'll trying researching and thinking for yourselves.  Because to not do so, is exactly how and why the current banking industry keeps a strangle hold on everything and everyone.  Stop being part of the problem...stop being lazy and go read the wiki.  Or...get ready to do what Tradefortress is currently doing, when you miss the bus:



Follow this guy's advice! Do some research on coinseeker Smiley

I take acquiring ripplepay, slapping on a 100% premined XRP is innovation?

It's quite interesting how the only people defending Ripple so far are blatant shills that makes a laughstock of themselves (with the exception of Sukrim).
