204  Economy / Speculation / Re: Difficulty or price. Which one is gonna give? on: November 29, 2012, 05:41:11 PM
how come nobody talks about possible hostile legislation ?
focused on gox, that could kill the price

I am not spreading fud, but there is too little talk about that imo.

that is the only thing, the only one, that keeps me from going all in,
it actually stopped me buying any more, but I am still a bull
and advertize it to people I interact with

there should be some item that is held somewhere and cut in half every time reward drops

stick, 21 inch long
precious stone, like sapphire, there are synthetic ones to buy

a bottle of something, liquid drinkable or not, half spilled into the fire

is it doable ?

to have those two combined.
it is a nice combination, but looks like too much work

what would you say,
can you give me some good starting points, where to read, and what to show to developer, if there would be one...

the goal is to make un-squeezable website

popularity or ease of use is of no concern

edit :
it would be nice to have template solution for this kind of thing
209  Economy / Speculation / Re: Gold collapsing. Bitcoin UP. on: November 17, 2012, 07:19:04 PM
but what about possible hostile legislation ?

if BTC is declared a terrorist tool, or money laundering vehicle, or whatnot ?

threat of this is the biggest weight against price explosion, imo.

2) some of the services are not using all the tools that are available for scam prevention such as identification or DRO contracts because there is this small gang of thugs that would like to hurt most of them if they could find them.

That cannot be emphasized enough.    There are services that I would like to praise from the rooftops, but because what they are doing is possibly regulated activity none of these service's operators have revealed their identity (or had that identity they provided verified).  And thus they are not getting the attention they deserve including attracting customers where they grow into a more widely used and successful service.   I'm about as confident as I can be that the operator isn't planning on running but with a service that is operated anonymously there is always that risk, and therefore I can't extend my full trust.   

If there were two identical services side-by-side, one whose operator's identity is known and can be verified and the other run anonymously, I wouldn't touch the latter.

I don't have that choice and because I do want to participate, I rationalize the risk by limiting the amount of funds involved to an amount low enough enough that if the operator does run or otherwise scam that I'm not negatively impacted to any significant degree.

But because the threat of action from a regulator keeps the operator from revealing identity, I am then putting myself at risk of getting scammed further than I normally would.  And that makes it easier for scammers to "fit in".  And having to swim in the same pool as the scammers makes it harder for the good operators protecting themselves with anonymity to compete.   

Thus the existence of needless regulations actually increases the risk of me being scammed.

bitcoin can be used as voting machine
I wrote something in development part of the forum, but it did not get any attention,
maybe i did not explain it well
or the problem was because i proposed it be implemented as separate cryptofork

the idea was that entrepreneur would deposit money in an address whose private key is partially distributed to all users of his service
if he runs, the money is voted into some arbitration fund and distributed to users
the amount deposited should be decided  by users

212  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is there evidence that there is a correlation between difficulty and price? on: October 18, 2012, 01:40:31 PM
as difficulty rises, we can assume that the actual number of individuals mining is rising,
in other words,
the number of people wanting to acquire bitcoin is rising,
some of them could get impatient and acquire bitcoin faster ( by buying it )

Or we can assume it's the same number of people wanting more bitcoins more badly or even just improved technology.

in both cases, desire is increasing
213  Economy / Speculation / bitcoin is slowing down ? on: October 18, 2012, 12:29:25 PM
average doubling time is now measured in months

what would you say, when the price will be double from today's ~12 ?

I have a feeling it should be at 20 by next summer,
but uncertainty about some kind of hostile legislation in the future
is stopping me from buying (more).

just create a heads up poker on a blockchain,
there is no collusion,
since it will be an open source project
in time there will be some developers that will add multiseat tables and collusion will be addressed later

it should be started, and people will play
217  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [ANNOUNCE] skude.se/BTC - an easier way to request your daily free coins on: October 11, 2012, 11:23:46 PM
bitcoin.so is looking pretty bogus to me. It said I just one 0.01 BTC with both dice the same. I provided the correct captcha answers exactly as provided and it claims they're incorrect and refuses to pay. And I can't find a contact address.

yes, seems they are free riding us Smiley
I also got same numbers, and it just apologizes after robbing me of my time

bitcoin price rise is slowing down from exponential to linear.
I suppose it is because bitcoin already burned through most of the geek mass,
and all that is left are slower type of people, slow linear adoption ? who would know

also, there is now resignation, If i cant get 1000 coins I won't buy

after this new year turmoil, I would not expect any excitement for a long time,
I doubt any big company will adopt it before next reward drop from 25 to 12.5
