Here's a thought.

Make it so that if you type something like "+1.1" (make that invisible I think) and then in the next minute or so a donation of 1.1 comes in it says "SoandSo donates 1.1BTC"

And another theory: This is slowly, someone wants 1M+ worth.
1983  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker on: June 16, 2012, 04:48:56 AM
Can someone explain to me the logic behind this? Is this really manipulation?

I would figure that if it really was someone who wanted to buy 200k worth of coins they would do it in small bits over time

Maybe they think if they wait it will be higher? plausible imo.
1984  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker on: June 16, 2012, 04:26:45 AM

Who's this new manipulator desperate soul trying to unload his old style money?

Currently the only way to bring more to the table is to click "leave". Something like an "Add chips" button, maybe even just renaming it?

I think partial verification makes a lot of sense, but you are being ridiculous and counterproductive.

Bitcoin is more tested than the vast vast majority of software in existance.
Relax dude I believe in BTC as well, but many still consider it an experiment.

Anyway my point was simply that arguing against new things because they are new is a null argument.


How can I relax at a time like this? Horrifying realization and all. Horrifying.
1987  Economy / Long-term offers / Re: Bitcoin Savings and Trust on: June 16, 2012, 01:20:47 AM
Your math is off. Starting with 10K BTC and compounding every week that would give you .337M BTC. You're off by an order of magnitude.

Sorry, you are of course correct. But it is an exponential, so let's just change it to 2 years. Running two years from 10k BTC, he would end up with more BTC than currently exist!

The yield is something like 3300% annually. Yes, my earlier number was wrong. But even if it was wrong by two orders of magnitude, this would still be ridiculous.

What I'm trying to say is: the numbers are so far away from reality, it doesn't even matter. One BTC in four years would yield about 1,290,000 BTC. AND NO, I DID NOT MESS UP THE MATH THIS TIME.

Assuming that you don't withdraw the btc at any point.  AFAIK, at some point, everyone does a little profit taking. 

It is totally reasonable to be skeptical about high returns. But the people who are vocal about it are nuts. They do that simple and completely irrelevant calculation as if people or pirate will never scale back no matter how big it gets.

Pirate gets to push people out and afaik he actualy does it. So there is nothing exponential even implied here. It's like a standing loan with a standing payout. And when the loan amount goes up because pirate wants more the interest only goes up in exact proportion, linearly.

I think a fast BTC price rise is going to bring pain though, I'm watching closely.
1988  Economy / Gambling / Re: bitZino - HTML5 Bitcoin Casino on: June 16, 2012, 12:01:36 AM
I get a blank pop up when I try to bet zero. My balance on the table is .5, I think this is the issue.

This is definitely a bug! The minimum bet for any table is 1, so if your balance gets down to below 1 (which can only really happen if you got a blackjack in a previous hand, thus allowing you to win a multiple of 0.5), we should be treating you as out of balance, instead of allowing you to try to bet 0.5.

I have fixed this bug, and I also added a BTC to your account for helping me find it. This offer stands for anyone else too! If you find any bugs like this, let me know, and I'll add some funds to your account Cheesy

Oh nice, tyvm.

Yes, you will get your funds it is just a matter of time, WE ARE WORKING ON IT!

 Smiley

Thank you for your response and keep my fingers crossed for you - mtgox.

Panda Mouse.

Lol, capitals plus exclamation mark, I think you are going to be fine. Now if they had used 4 or more exlaimers it would be a lock.

1991  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: low transaction fees, I don't think so on: June 15, 2012, 07:52:58 PM
People keep telling me that there are no fees to use US Dollars. But then I need to PAY for my Comcast bill for internet. Then the corner stores wants me to PAY for a bag of M&Ms. The audacity!

As for your toll bridge. Had it been privatized, those tolls would have increased two fold yearly

FTFY!

Yeah no fees for using cash my ass, everything I buy costs money!
1992  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: low transaction fees, I don't think so on: June 15, 2012, 07:52:13 PM
Also it's silly to think that the right way to price is at (or even in some fixed relation to) cost. The main determinant of good pricing strategy is what substitutes are selling for. There usually isn't a good alternative to a specific bridge, ergo higher enough price for you to bitch about.
1993  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: low transaction fees, I don't think so on: June 15, 2012, 07:50:17 PM
Sheesh. I don't buy 99.9999% of things on offer in the world because I think the price isn't worth it.

The services you mention are pretty dumb. So you get different coins with a 'bad' history, big deal. There are tons of sites that let you hold balance and get your money back for free and it's not likely to be the same coins and you can check.

But if you feel like being outraged some more I offer to do it for 10%.
1994  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: My horrific realization - pruning is not enough on: June 15, 2012, 05:41:46 PM
untested
Well yeah.. so is BTC mostly.

will require significant amount of resources to implement
Less than super nodes.

Swarm nodes would run just fine on regular users computers. A giant long term saving.

and solves a "problem" which doesn't exist.
I am a software engineer and I see a problem.


I think partial verification makes a lot of sense, but you are being ridiculous and counterproductive.

Bitcoin is more tested than the vast vast majority of software in existance. Thousands of people trust it for thousands of dollars of value on a continual basis with nearly no problems except bad user error.

A super node requires nothing to implement, I'm already running one.
1995  Economy / Gambling / Re: SealsWithClubs.eu - 60BTC guarantee tournament Sunday on: June 15, 2012, 05:34:45 PM
I really like seals with clubs, well done!
Sometimes happends that the graphic loads weird, the main downside is that I can't see my cards if I fold.
Did you consider the idea to use html5/javascript instead of flash?
Thanks for this amazing poker site!

Our most recent update has a "refresh table" in the options menu of each table. See if that fixes it.

We don't have any immediate plans to change software.
1996  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker on: June 15, 2012, 05:16:56 PM
how can anyone say we have a Mania? 

how many remember all the ridiculous threads that were started back in Dec/Jan as we started the rise?  it's been remarkably civil around here during this latest rise since February.
Indeed I honestly feel that this rally is very likely one of the most sound and legitimate increases in Bitcoin's value ever. I'm not discarding mania and a possible bubble later, but I'm not seeing that right now. There is not much panic buying going on, that is a good sign of an impending bubble. Safe for now.

Yeah, this not not mania by any means.

I suspect a lot of people are thinking something like "Bitcoin is more mature now and won't rise so much this time, 10-50% is a more realistic rise so I'll sell somewhere in that range", then when they are all exhausted we'll get the flare up and eventually settle at the next level up from here.

1998  Economy / Gambling / Re: bitZino - HTML5 Bitcoin Casino on: June 15, 2012, 04:08:59 PM
I briefly had the same confusion about depositing vs bringing money to the table.

I think it is only confusing when there is no balance, maybe when balance is zero remove the input blanks and make the instruction to deposit to that address slightly more prominent.
1999  Economy / Gambling / Re: bitZino - HTML5 Bitcoin Casino on: June 15, 2012, 03:24:52 AM
I see it says withdrawals take up to 24 hours. I think manual withdrawal is smart, but since they are manual anyway you could allow withdrawal requests even when there are unconfirmed funds. Not a big deal though, just a thought.
2000  Economy / Gambling / Re: bitZino - HTML5 Bitcoin Casino on: June 15, 2012, 02:48:27 AM
Very nice site.

One minor thing I noticed. On the edit/account page the only way I noticed to get back to the action is clicking "BitZino" at the top and some people might not realize that's the way. A "Play" or "Blackjack" button on the other side of that top bar could help.
