I hear that there used to be some sort of online exchange for these Magic the Gathering cards, but the platform ended up being used to trade something else... not sure what exactly.
You heard wrong. The domain mtgox.com was registered with the intention to use it for a M:tG exchange, but it never was. So why didn't they just dump the domain and register something like btcox.com? |

The price is a bit high for 300 BTC, it'll take a lot of iterations to make that back. I'd buy it for 100 BTC.

You can use google authenticator on your box account. Its free for browser and smart phone.
That's what I resorted to when my yubi key never showed up.
How is google authenticator different from Yubi Key? I think it's more convenient since you always have your phone. Plus it's free. |

This is a great idea. You can view it as a clever pyrimid scheme, or an advertising scheme - Kim Dotcom apparently owns the Gem right now, and I am sure he thinks it worth it at that price to advertise Mega in the link, so he would say not a pyramid at all!!
A possible bug though. I don't think the prices reported in the list of previous owners are correct, and the order looks scrambled. Last night vagoods was about to own the gem, and purchase it for 70 odd Bitcoins. Now it seems he got it for 40.41. Hmm, I smell the reek of melting code...
Seriously, I am awed by your bitcoin-foo, I think this a stunningly simple and great idea, and I only wish I had thought of it, I mean really how cool is this? A 1 page business idea that actually delivers, wow!
No vagoods is correct, I purchased right after vagoods for 44 BTC, so vagoods can't have purchased for 70 BTC. Also I agree that it does have some ad value, after owning the gem for a short period of time, the bitcoingem site sent me over 100 new visitors. I imagine if this bitcoingem site becomes a bitcoin novelty site (like every bitcoin newbie will want to see this site for the lulz), then it can potentially send the last gem owner hundreds of visitors per day, which is worth something in ad value. So it's a win-win situation, you either make some profit, or you get potentially tens of thousands of visitors in ad value. |

lol, here's me: tblob.org bought at 44.45 btc and is about to make 2.225 btc profit
I'm done, too risky for my bankroll after this price point.

You haven't learned ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR WALLET? and also the golden rules of backups:
* if you have one back up, you actually have none.
* if you have two back up, you actually just have one.
* if all your backups are in a single physical location, you actually have no backups.

I'm certain that I would be able to purchase two chickens with one Bitcoin, if the market accepted Bitcoin.
If you're in the US, I can ship you a pack of chicks for BTC. Just throw them some feed and give them a little shelter and you'll have tasty chickens in no time. But who will slaughter them for me? I ain't killing animals raised by myself. |

How come there aren't like... five million copycat sites of this yet? All I can think of is BTCDice and it doesn't even seem to work?
I think because it actually is harder to get it right than it seems. You need a deep understanding of the bitcoin protocol as most of the stuff you have to do is beyond the capabilites of the standard client. Besides BTCDice if I remember correctly I think there were one or two additional 1:1 copies that also went down quickly. And SDice will have forever the first-mover advantage, so any 1:1 copy will have a very hard time. If you want to compete with SDice you have to differentiate, not just copy (which is what I am trying with bitbattle.me  ). Actually I don't think there's much of a first mover advantage, if a site copied SDice exactly (actually I prefer the old SDice interface, so copy that please), with a well known operator, has reasonable max bet (minimum 200 BTC at the top), and a slightly less house edge (like 1.7%). I'd switch to the new site in a heart beat. |

There are quite a few dice sites, but many of them try to do things different, and just end up to be more complex and unfamiliar for me to try.
Also many of them have TINY max bets, I'm talking about 1-10 BTC max bets, which is a joke.
Then there's the other concern of unknown operator, versus Eric who is well known around here.

I believe 17 has became the new 12, price won't deviate much from 17 (+-2) and will stabilize at this level for a while.

Great, I've been wanting to host my own dropbox for a while, I think this is the program that will allow me to do that.

btc可以追踪IP的，除非你一直洗啊洗
这个可以通过使用国外的web wallet来解决，比如blockchain.info。 |

Bitcoin market cap is still tiny, so any big money player who get in will move the price significantly. Hell anyone
who own a 3 million apartment in manhattan can sell the apartment and put his money in Bitcoin, and move the
price to $30+

Can someone explain to me the concept of a "fake wall"?
For example, a big buyer wants to initiate a large position, but in this market, his buy order would easily move the Bitcoin price to $16 or more. So he uses his coins to create a fake wall at $15.72, it's a rather safe price that won't be reached in a hurry, but it puts up a barrier so all the sellers who wanted to sell at $16, will now sell below $15.72, because they think no way this 11000 wall is going to be eaten any time soon. So this big buyer gets to buy coins below $15.72, instead of buying at $16+ |

bitcoin is much more liquid, though. try buying an ounce of silver and sell it again on the same day and see what's left. We even pay 7% (or 9%?) sales tax on silver in germany. also: with bitcoin you can buy stuff I still have a bet settlement outstanding where a friend has to buy me a t-shirt using 1oz silver coin. Looking forward to that experience. yep, this is why I hate keeping gold and especially silver, it's fucking difficult to store and try to get a fair price when you sell (unless the market is crazy bullish) |

Someone just thrown a yes coin there, after >$15.38 happended. Would that count as long as admin don't close the bet or would he cut off and return all bets after it hit? Or take over as a penalty for cheating?  Coins will be returned for bets that was placed after the event happened. Somebody just tried for for 1 BTC though, too late buddy ! Tried for what? I know you can still bet on it, but your late bets will be returned after the admin determine the event cut off time. |
