Unless $23K is an insignificant amount for you, no you will not. You are over invested and will be emotional on price movements. If price falls 80% will you panic sell? If you double your money one year and then it falls back to your original investment amount the following year will you still hold?

Friend on Wall Street says pump to ~250 today or tomorrow.
Then it will drop to around 230 and stick there for a bit.
My neighbor says the great rally of 2015 will push bitcoin to $700.

My chinbeard uncle says aliens made bitcoin, and they have a massive mining operation on the dark side of the moon so they don't have to worry about overheating.

Indeed Smiley as fake as BTC is dead claim.

The use of disinformation to promote or discredit BTC proponents has grown to a fever pitch.

A dose of reality helps us remain vigilant to benefit from those sensational claims.

Ahh ok, now I'm picking up what you're putting down Smiley

Why are we posting faked/photoshop images of BTC on spotify? You know that was a fake, right?
1746  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 06, 2015, 02:02:15 PM
so you guys what is your opinion? we are going up or down?


Down, I have some extra fiat I want to unload but waiting until our next drop.

Can someone please tell me where are the 5-9 of this happening in the OP ?

These are done by your wallet when you import the key generated by the OP's method.


Not exactly, you can't import a base 6 format key into your wallet. First you have to convert it from base 6 to WIF. In the OP the conversion is done using brainwallet, but they use a different method so the conversion method is different, they started with binary 1 and 0 and then convert to hex and then to WIF. With the dice method you have base 6 and then convert to WIF private key with the help of an app like bitaddress.

Awesome tutorial! I like using dice, but this would be a fun project as well, thanks for taking the time to put this together.

The healthy choice, it seems, is to just hodl and wait, don't obsess.
I give it 5 years. If by then nothing significant has developed, it's finished. Of course, by then, it should be pretty obvious.
Might as well go "all or nothing"

I agree it's going to be either boom or bust, I see it highly unlikely to be in between. In 5 years it should either be worth $10K+ or next to nothing.

Count me in as a late adopter douchebag BTC holder, as I got into this late 2013.

Me too, December 2013!

Who knows, I can't understand what goes into someone who spends all day hating something.  I don't like Justin Beiber, so I create hate sub-reddits or go on the Beiber forums and tell everyone how much I hate him?  No, my time is much too precious to waste time and energy on an anti-anything campaign.
1752  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Block.io api error line 112 on: February 02, 2015, 09:47:05 PM
What happened to your original code?  Previously you had "BlockIo->__call" based on the code I've seen so far BlockIo isn't a valid command. Maybe try "$block_io->__call"  etc

I'm not entirely familiar with block.io but it looks like it puts the address in an assoc array. Does it work when you try print it out?

Code:
echo $newAddressInfo['shibe1']; 
1753  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Block.io api error line 112 on: February 02, 2015, 06:32:03 PM
Did you set up your initialize section properly in game.php?

Code:
 $block_io = new BlockIo($apiKey, $pin, $version);

The sample php for generating a new address is a bit different than the way you are trying to do it.

Code:
 $newAddressInfo = $block_io->get_new_address(array('label' => 'shibe1'));

Really? The strategy that won was make 1 bet of 0.0001010101 BTC @ 9900x?   Is it just me or does it seem that using expected value (EV) is not a good way strategize with dice betting?

1756  Economy / Speculation / Re: $35 or $3,500 within 24 months? on: January 29, 2015, 08:48:37 PM
If it goes to under $100 I think the miners will be in big trouble. $3,500 is too farfetched without some massive mass adoption. We'd be lucky to get over 1k again. though I think half of that is reasonable.

I think that would be nice. I wouldn't mind seeing all the mega-miners drop out due to an inability to cover the cost of electricity and equipment.
1757  Economy / Speculation / Re: The future of BTC... is there one? on: January 29, 2015, 08:27:50 PM
Bitcoin will never end, period. Even if it fades away, price drops to < $1 USD and something else takes it's place; there will always be hardcore fans that will be willing to mine for free, run bitcion-qt or willing to pay for coins.
1758  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Issues with bitaddress.org on: January 29, 2015, 04:17:47 PM
Doesn't bitaddress log 300+ cursor locations on a screen to help create the randomness? Even on a tiny 480x600 screen that's 300^288,000 possibilities.  If you use that initial address after the mouse randomness I don't see why one would worry about RNG. Where I can see a possible RNG issue is the "generate new address" button and the bulk address creator.  My cold storage addresses were created with bitaddress base6 converter and dice giving 6^99 possibilities.

The mouse cursor entropy-gathering was only added after it was pointed out the problems that the site/script had in simply using the javascript random method presented to the browser and lack of entropy gathering. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=399058.msg4315842#msg4315842

Now it is an annoyance you must pass through when you want to do anything else written into the do-everything page, such as decoding a private key you already know.

I did not know that was a newer feature, thanks for the info. I've only been in the BTC space 13 months. But sounds like you agree that the mouse randomness method is secure, correct? I agree the mouse thing is annoying when not generating a new address so I've altered the bitaddress code locally on my machine so I don't have to do the mouse movements when decoding priv keys.

I've run a ton of different sequences to find out the most reliable way to double your bankroll.
The 2x bet does not work well at all.
Here are two techniques I use that work well but you can not automate.
So I came up with a method I like to call the twist.
Start with 2x and bet less than.
If loss quadruple your bet and, change to 75% win chance and flip it to bet greater than.


Another one that is similar start at 2x, on loss change to 3.33x, on loss change to 9.99x, on loss double your bet and go back to 3.33x, on loss triple your bet and go back to 2x. Repeat.
