A mixer is also good if you are super rich, and don't want your money associated with your address (to avoid being a hack target for instance).

Unfortunately I do not have this problem.

I think that online wallets are pretty safe, but if you have anything more than 2-3 btc I would seriously look in to getting a HW wallet.  I like the ledger, and they even have a pretty cheap version for ~15$.  But to me it depends on how much funds you have because at some point you don't have enough to bother with all of the super high tech security measures.

This is what I was thinking.  Thanks, but I will stick to dadice and a few other places to scratch my dice.

This looks interesting, but I won't download anything like this to play.  Is there any way you can have your site web based only?  My guess is that by downloading you save some server costs right?

I suggest you rethink the scheme you are offering.  I don't think too many will be interested to wait a whole year to get paid.  You might have better luck with a bunch of small investors providing the bank roll, as seen on some gambling sites.  You can offer them daily payouts on their deposits.  Good luck

I detect a sock puppet in our midst   A hedge fund?  Seriously, you guys should try harder than that if you think you will be able to scam some money here.  I think most of us have seen this thing too many times to fall for it.  Maybe sell a bridge or something?

But how will they buy the coins?  It is a pita to get them, they can't just buy them at the store.  Plus their money is stuck in the banks.  There will be serious limits at the banks for the near future because the Greek government knows that the run will continue.  So imo it is too late for the Greek people to take advantage of bitcoins.

This isn't the Greek people running to bitcoins.  The data shows that the increase of purchases in euros is about the same as it was last month.  BTC was bouncing off of the 220's and 30's for a little while, and the upward momentum seemed stronger than the downward momentum.  I think that the Greece thing might have been a catalyst to bring in some investors, but I don't think the Greek people are doing it.  We (people in general) don't tend to fix things until they are already broken.  Almost no one would have had the foresight to buy bitcoins, and even if they did they would have done it weeks ago, not now when all of the banks are closed.

The problem is that mining profits are tied to electricity costs.  So if they come out with a mass produced unit that uses 50% less energy, it seems to me that people would just buy 2x of them and we would be back to square one.

The real problem is how we get our juice.  Here in the usa we use quite a lot of coal, so almost anything would be a better alternative.  I think the best solution is to have government run nuclear power plants.  Private run plants will always cut corners, leading to problems if not a meltdown.

I think so.  Monero seems to have nice momentum behind it, but it is really hard to predict which will come out on top.  Just look at doge lol.  I totally didn't see that one becoming as popular as it is.

Welcome to the forums!  Don't forget to use the search function, there are lots of threads, and chances are that your question has already been answered.

Thanks for find that out.  I love how people notice things like this, because I never would!

Stay away, even if they do have a good system, there are always surprises tha tcan not be predicted.  For example the mayweather-pac fight, I was thinking of betting something on pacman because I thought he had a real chance for an upset.  But it turns out he was fighting with a torn rotator cuff or something like that.  It is why when he got may on the ropes he didn't pull the trigger.  The point is that there is no way to predict these things, and a few unexpected surprises can wipe you out.  I am glad I didn't bet on the fight!

I think it is too hard to call the winner, but once we see how everyone is playing come game day then it will be easier to see who has the best chances of winning.

Can this bot automatically buy hash and then put it in a pool, and only buy at a price that you will make a profit?  That would be really cool, but by your description it is hard to tell if this is the case or not.  I looked at nicehash, but one thing that stops me from using it is that it is really hard for me to tell if I can break even or not.

So is this basically like chain profit.com?  It looks like the same sort of thing with out the time limit.

um, wait what?  What does all that mean up there?  Is this a review of the site or something?

You will have to bet the underdog to win that much.  You might be better of with higher paying games, but I guess if you know a lot about sports then it isn't a bad way to bet.

-It may not be good for any place, but there is no way it will ever go away.  There will always be prostitution, so having it legal provides better health safety and better working conditions for the women.  And I disagree that it is not good.  How is it not good, do you have proof in some way, or do you just think that sex outside the missionary position with married people is icky?

-So, if it is forbidden in YOUR religion, then everyone should have to follow your rules?  I don't think so.  I have some beliefs that you would be very upset at being forced to follow.  This is how other people feel when you force your contrived morality on them.  It is also not forbidden in aspects of life (?).  You may not be aware of it, but lots and lots of people have lots and lots of sex, much of it against the antiquated rules set out by religion.  Money may not be exchanged in most cases but there is plenty of adultery, sodomy (technically any sex not for procreation), and other types of naughtiness going on.  Just because you don't get any doesn't mean that other people should not.

-To the contrary , the illegalization of this industry contributes to the slave industry adn poor treatment of workers.  If everything was on the table and regulated, then it would be more difficult to use slaves for this.  Again we have the case where antiquated religious beliefs end up hurting people because of the refusal to accept reality.  Prostitution will never go away, it will be the last thing to go right after the cockroaches die off.  So you can pretend that it doesn't happen, or you can deal with it in a way that is best for everyone.  I hope that we can stop saying "lalalal LA LA!!!!" with our eyes closed and our fingers in our ears.  You want to stop human trafficing then you need to deal with the problem in reality, not some make believe world where no one has sex.

USA finally approves gay marriage.  The shocking thing to me is not that it took so long for the bastion of "freedom" to make a decision on the issue, but the fact that the supreme court vote was 5-4.  That means that nearly 50% of our supreme court justices disagree with our constitutional right to freedom of religion.  I find this very worrying, but I guess after the constitution has been gutted the last 10 years or so it should not be too surprising.

Thoughts?

So how does it work?  You have a target confirmation time, and the person who sends coins closest to tha ttime wins?  How do you reconcile different play amounts, or are all entries the dame price?  This is an interesting game I hope it gets some play here.
