whatever happens. and how many is it?
my number:
100
what's the point of never selling them? am i to assume that means you would also never trade them for goods or services? the point is.... you believe, bitcoin dose have its ups and downs but the value could one day be very high, there for it is a good idea to to hold some... until retirement! selling at retirement != never selling them |

well, the numbers are in and i just got a touch over 160 btc.
contract price: 150
contract length: 30 days
return: 160.51
R.O.I. 7%
annualised R.O.I. 128% p.a. (put in $1 and get $2.28 a year later)
so, compared to a standard bank account this is really great, but compared to my earlier luck with the 7-day contract (9700% p.a. ROI) it's been really disappointing.
yochdog cites the deepbit issues as the main reason for the low-ish outcome.
i was hoping the 2 difficulty drops would really increase the payouts, but it didn't have much effect.

likewise, this kind of 'reverse' auction is something i developed and ran a while back in AUD ( http://rauction.com.au) and have been meaning to port it to BTC for ages. i'm sure even if you're not the first matthew, there'll still be room to compete. |

i know for a fact that many are interested in purchasing X merchandise from Y website, yet are having trouble with it simply because of payment issues.
I imagine this is a particularly big issue in Nigeria also. yeah definitely, all over africa. official banking regulations are very strict. eg i think in some countries you're not allowed to send more than $5,000 or so offshore per YEAR. that includes buying from amazon or whatever. |

Most of them are in very urgent trouble right now. They won't use bitcoin.
'most' is completely irrelevant to my purpose. because i know that not ALL zw are poor. i know for a fact that many are interested in purchasing X merchandise from Y website, yet are having trouble with it simply because of payment issues. if i can help these people get their hands on some bitcoins, that will resolve the current brickwall they're up against. |

I know we're talking crypto here, but throw us a bone. What's S.N.?
some supposedly japanese guy who invented up some awesome currency. i'll try to find you a link. S.O.B., all the links have been removed from the internet. Anybody happen to have a screenshot of anything related to S.N.? still offtopic, but i submitted the dude's name to http://www.abbreviations.com/SN as a suggested entry. |

The "privacy from governments & banks" bit will probably alienate a hundred times as many people as it would attract.
I disagree. I think if you do a poll "Do you trust the govt?" it would only be slightly lower than the results for "Do you trust the banks?". i trust the banks more because i have a specific written contract with them. maybe stupid. but i have no such contract with the gummit so it seems they can get away with far more abuse. |

@payb.tc: I really doubt you will find any people from Zimbabwe on these forums as freedom (especially the freedom to use any media you want to inform yourself) isn't such a big fashion in Bobby's country.
thanks for the info. my OP was serious by the way, Horsefu HorseRider. i'm still curious what currency is most common there, not for someone dirt poor, but for someone who could afford to spend say $200 on the net but lacks the direct means to do so (no credit card, no bank acc, etc). |

Why wouldn't it be a cryptocurrency? You mean because it doesn't use cryptography or because it's not a currency?
So Paypal is a cryptocurrency? i've never thought of paypal as a currency, just a service which allows the transfer of currencies. |

are there any zimbabwean bitcoiners on this forum?
if so, what currency are you mainly dealing with day-to-day?
i'd be interested in doing some bitcoin trading.

Isn't a cigarette like super bad in that spot?
where do you put them? |

agreed, and there are probably a lot of cases where a record in the blockchain is unnecessary/unwanted.

here's a gift for you: sseems you lost one of yours. |

i looked out the window today and it looked a lot like brisbane, australia.
Clearly that is a problem with your window. Have you considered taking it in for service? Just to double check, PatrickHarnett and I looked out our windows. It seems highly unlikely that is brisbane, australia. There should be a river. haha yeah and i should live in a big mansion next to said river, instead of in the poorer burbs. |

What are we supposed to gather from these charts?
How bitcoinica forces prices down. my interpretation was how bitcoinica forced volatility down. |

is this just a regular h y i p ?
or can you show proof of how the returns were actually generated?
