Anyone here with 10k+ on the exchange want to share their experience as far as trust and reliability is concerned?
Were you able to move money/bitcoin in and out quick?
10k of what? I guess USD... Since they seem to change and add business partners more often than some people change their underwear, I don't think experiences from even a few weeks ago are truly relevant. |

I'm surprised GOX isn't at least an option.
It used to be an option. In fact quite good. Before this global paranoia has kicked in.. not sure if it's just paranoia. For example, today the volume on Bitfinex was 13k BTC, about 700 k USD. Throughout the day there was a significant price difference between Gox and Bitstamp. Thus, if Gox trading was allowed, a huge portion of that USD would end up in the Gox trading account of Bitfinex. How would Bitfinex be able to withdraw, say $ 400000 per day from Mt.Gox and transfer them to Bitstamp and their own Bank account? Allow trading first come first served for 50k USD on gox. Halt trading, withdraw money. Once credited, allow trading for another 50k USD etc. |

Well, if you have infinite time, even doing mining by hand and calculating the hashes on paper will earn you 21 million BTC.  I don't really get the accusations against more recent forum members, the points mentioned seem reasonable to me (a May 2011 account...  ) |

Does this require the merchants (= people accepting payments) to trust the operator? An example would be that the BTC are sent first to the service and merchants receive only 1 transaction per day to their designated address.
I would recommend to let merchants submit a public BIP32 seed key so the service creates the addresses from that and never has access to the actual funds. It can still charge some fees (e.g. "pay the fees or we don't display any address or our own address and keep funds in escrow/cover fees from incoming payments") that way but would not need to have that much trust. Still (by displaying their own addresses) they can mess with their merchants of course.

aww, looks like most of the fun is over.
By the way, what happens if people lend money for under an hour. Can they lend interest-free, do they pay for a full hour....?
This has been asked a couple of times and I am pretty sure the answer is they pay for an hour. 0 - 60 min 1 hour 61 - 120 min 2 hour and so on What was still not answered as far as I remember is if I lend out the same money 3 times in the same hour (for 10 minutes each) do I get 3 times 1 hour interest? |

For the first time in a long time, the USD interest rates are going through the roof. Currently everything up to 1800% APR is taken. Might have been someone REALLY wanting to go long? It seems to be over now. If you want a ~50k USD long position RIGHT NOW, you would drive rates up again though. |

He should simply sign this statement with Satoshi's private key. Otherwise I'm not even wasting time by looking at some "proof" of some weird people.

It'd be neat, but a 3D-printed one would be too easy to counterfeit. One reason Casascius coins are so trustworthy from a security standpoint is how complex and detailed (microscopically!) the holograms are, as well as the fact that no reputable hologram printer will print the same one for someone else, since it is stored in some international database.
Just like nobody would ever dare to counterfeit fiat money like EUR or USD, right? No reputable printer would ever dare to do that... |

Oh, I just looked it up now that this thread reappeared and it seems I have still one single unclaimed share in BFLS.RIG...  Any way to still claim that? |

Bisher hat sich der OP weder bei mir noch hier im Thread gemeldet... finde ich jetzt nicht gerade die feine Art!  |

I guess there are 2 different kinds of things to consider here:
1) "Dirty money" in the sense of tracked money (yes, serial numbers can be traced/tracked too) - this is probably similar to stolen jewellery, so you have something that can be easily linked to a crime and provably so. In this case it would make sense to switch a 100 USD bill for 2 untracked 50s. I guess the most widely used use case though would be counterfeit money - and with that you might have quite some problems in depositing it at a bank, gas station or not.
2) "Dirty money" in the sense of anonymous bills from illegal sources. To make this money "reappear" in the banking system, it needs a source. This is what the various "legal" businesses provide, not "clean cash" (that's what you already have... but you don't just want to be able to spend a few hundred per month extra - you want your millions on your swiss bank account!).

You could publish or sell the script, so anyone with armory and gnuplot(?) can just create them on their own.

There are 32 bits of IPv4 addresses out there and 128(!!!)bits of IPv6 addresses - also NAT and Proxies are some real problems there. Maybe IMEIs or IMSIs from mobile phones might work, still not too unique either. Anything like hardware IDs is potentially fakeable (e.g. MAC addresses) and also likely tied to a certain manufacturer.
You could require PoW on a certain private key (publish nonces that are more and more difficult) to prove that you are more invested than others in that key, still there is a chance that someone might find a way to do this faster/better and then hash for several private keys instead of just one. Processing time is a bit too non-uniformly spread to be a good measurement for distribution, something Satoshi found out the hard way. There are no really better ways though, so at least props to him for trying!

The issue would then lie in ensuring that one person is really only one person and not a sock puppet... so far (besides maybe DNA hashing?) I can't think of anything that guarantees that only one single person is really only one single person in a trustless distributed way. If you allow trust, then you might trust government IDs for example or have a central service that hands out mining certificates.

Mittlerweile ~11660 BTC - was ist daran aber eigentlich "Hochrisiko"? Das einzige Risiko ist, dass die Seite wenig/keinen Gewinn macht und dann plötzlich keine Spieler mehr auftauchen oder der Betreiber sich absetzt. Alles andere ist einfach das Gesetz großer Zahlen und ein bisschen warten.

Naja, ich nehme an, du beziehst dich auf Ascorbinsäure, die eben auch unter dem Namen "Vitamin C" bekannt ist... So weit ich Chefin verstanden habe, gibt's die folgenden Zutaten in seinem Met: Honig, Wasser + rel. alkoholresistente Hefe für den Ansatz Honig (eventuell Wasser?) + Fruchtsaft für den Geschmack. Sonst nix, außer einer Glasflasche drumrum. Weine werden teils geschwefelt (zwecks Haltbarkeit) und/oder nehmen durch Lagerung in Holzfässern Geschmack an - Klären tun sich Weine allerdings meist von selbst, die Hefe stirbt nämlich üblicherweise bei der Gärung und setzt sich am Boden als eher unschöner Schleim ab. Weine die ich so zu Gesicht bekomen habe, sind dann durchaus (wenn man keinen/wenig Bodensatz nach dem Umfüllen miterwischt) schön klar, ohne jetzt groß chemisch behandelt zu werden. K.A. wie sich das mit Met verhält, ich nehme aber an ähnlich, da ja Honig wenig Schwebstoffe beinhalten dürfte. Bezüglich Geschmack wären ja übrigens noch eventuell Hollunder(blüten) interessant... D'arbo aus Österreich hat recht gute (wenn auch teure) Sirupsorten im Angebot, falls es mal eine Version zum Selbermischen gibt. http://www.darbo.at/produkte/sirup/18,sirup.html |

Müsste natürlich OpenSource sein, damit da kein Unsinn abläuft.
Als ob in der NSA nur Holzköpfe sitzen würden, die nicht einfach den Output von diesem Programm ausfiltern könnten. Gleich wie mit diesem "komischen" Mail, das möglichst viele verdächtige Wörter/Phrasen beinhaltet - ich bin mir recht sicher, dass der Text dann einfach gefiltert wird und fertig. Außerdem ist es der NSA wohl auch herzlich egal, wenn du ab und zu das Wort "Bombe" in's Internet bläst... wenn du aber zugleich Twitter über TOR verwendest und 1-2 verdächtige Handynummern kontaktierst, brauchst du wohl nicht mal irgendwas verdächtiges absondern um dich schon mal interessant zu machen. Es geht stark um die Verknüpfung von Daten, nicht um das was du in einem einzigen Kanal so treibst. und was ist wenn durch den blödsinn ein Fanatiker nicht geschnappt wird und sich neben dir im Supermarkt in die Luftsprengt?
... Wenn DAS das einzige ist, was mir passieren könnte wenn meine gesamte(!) Kommunikation nicht überwacht wird, würde ich das Risiko liebend gerne eingehen! |
