I enjoyed the ride and it cost me less than any typical vice. Long live Bitcoin!
That's exactly how I feel - my bitcoin hobby hasn't cost me any more than other hobbies/vices, and it's been a hell of a lot more interesting than most of them.

Disruptive technologies are intrinsically cool.  That said, I think this place will be a bit less morose after bitcoin stabilizes for a few months.


This is exactly how I've seen it as well.  I find the experiment very intriguing and would love to see it take off, but even if it doesn't I've been entertained for far greater value than anything I've lost.  Not that I think the entertainment is over either.

Cheapest entertainment I've found in a long time.

Just a reminder that the price of A STABLE bitcoin is irrelevant if you are using them instead of hoarding them.

Fixed that for you.

That is because those people have already made their exit, unable to cause any further downward pressure.

That is a good description of what I think we've seen this morning and sounds like capitulation to me.  Looks like it came to a head about 2 hours ago.  The charts look like they're telling me we could end the day around $2.50-$2.70 and the low has already been put in.  We'll see...
18686  Economy / Speculation / Are we finally seeing bitcoin capitulation? on: October 17, 2011, 03:38:31 PM
Today is one of the highest volume days we have had in months.  The only two days in the last couple of months that compare were a result of hacks on exchanges and "banks" that led to massive amounts of stolen coins hitting the market.  Today the volume selloff appears to be completely due to fear.  Could we finally be seeing the bitcoin capitulation that would signal a market bottom?

Do you want bids in BTC or $?

What will you do if exchange rate drops below a price that would cover our power cost?

My power is actually charged at 2 different rates.  $0.16/kWh from 9am-9pm & $0.05/kWh from 9pm-9am.  If the exchange rate continued to drop to where mining was no longer profitable at the average $0.10/kWh rate, I would most likely begin running the miners only from 9pm-9am.  If the exchange rate dropped to where it was no longer profitable to mine using $0.05/kWh electricity, I would propose a shareholder motion to see if the equipment should be sold off to refund investors.


What policy will you use to sell the namecoins? Sell right away?

Good question.  This will most likely be based on market conditions.  With the namecoin difficulty so low right now, I'm expecting a large price drop coming for namecoins.  I do like the idea of namecoins being like the company's "savings" while bitcoins were sold to pay costs and paid to investors as dividends.  Perhaps some ideas could be floated on this thread to give shareholders the opportunity to voice their opinion on this subject.


When will you start paying dividends?

As soon as possible.  This will depend on our ability to raise funds for building a rig.  Being conservative, I'd say by November 5th we should have a rig in place and enough bitcoins generated to make a good dividend distribution.


How will dividends be calculated?

Dividends will be split among the purchased shares.  For example, if 10,000 shares have been issued, but only 1,000 purchased, those 1,000 purchased shares would split the entire dividend payment equally on a per share basis.  The amount of the dividend will be at my discretion and based on the company's current financial situation.


How often will you pay dividends?

I'm planning to pay dividends weekly.  This could change at any time, but would most likely never be longer than monthly.

I have decided to stop mining and start buying BTC due to the cost of electricity.  

How much were you paying for electricity if you don't mind me asking?
18691  Economy / Goods / Re: Selling BiddingPond.com GLBSE - BID Shares on: October 15, 2011, 09:27:40 PM
You've listed about $69,000 in stock.  Is BiddingPond.com worth that high of a valuation?

I've reached a deal with bou707 to purchase the 2 5970s for my MergedMining company on the GLBSE.  I'll report back once they arrive.
18693  Economy / Securities / Re: [GLBSE] Merged Mining Investment Opportunity on: October 15, 2011, 01:53:21 AM
Have you considered selling your personal rigs to your business, but buying the rigs from yourself using stock?

Yes, but my personal rigs aren't built with costs in mind and wouldn't make the best investment for my shareholders.

I have reached an agreement with bou707 to purchase 2x5970s for MergedMining:

18695  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Silk Road was the best thing that has ever happened to Bitcoins. on: October 14, 2011, 08:41:48 PM
I've never used Silk Road nor do I know anyone personally who has.  I do however know dozens of people personally that use bitcoins for everything from stockpiling precious metals without a trace, to gambling online.  I've found it's a great way to reward random people on forums for helping me with issues.  However, when it comes to buying drugs, the only people I could see paying the inflated Silk Road prices are nerds who wouldn't dare talk to a real drug dealer, kids, or people who recently moved to a new area and haven't found a real connection yet.  In my opinion, anyone saying Silk Road is the center of bitcoin is an immature kid who got his first dime bag online using bitcoins hashed from Mom & Dad's electricity.  That's a BitcoinBomb of reality for you.

Sounds like a scam.

Selling a rig in the newbie section instead of the goods section = shady.

An anonymous user on a forum posts a link with no identifying inforamtion and no text explaining what it is, I think it is a valid time to be concerned that the link may be nefarious.

Sorry Peter.  That is just a link that shows you how to Google your question.  It was meant as a joke.  
18700  Economy / Securities / Re: [GLBSE] Merged Mining Investment Opportunity on: October 11, 2011, 03:30:11 AM
Since you're clearly getting funds now, how do you plan to start using this capital to build miners?  When do you expect to start sending out dividends?

ASAP. As soon as enough capital is raised to purchase the bare necessities, a rig will be brought online to begin paying out dividends.


I have not been keeping up with namecoin much. I remember somebody saying that the hash rate dropped drastically after a huge rise in difficulty, so blocks are going really slow. Has the difficulty adjusted back down yet, so blocks come at a normal rate?

You can check the difficulty for namecoin and bitcoin here: http://dot-bit.org/tools/nextDifficulty.php
The namecoin difficulty will be adjusted down by the time our rig is operational.
