Here's the first bonus of miliBicoin Casino! To claim it you need to either be logged in or register, then enter the following address: http://www.mbtcasino.com/index.php?p=bonus&code=MBTCYou'll be credited 9 mBTC The advantage of this bonus is that you really will have to play with it, as the minimum withdrawal is 0.01 BTC (or 10 mBTC). So I'm expecting to not have the same outcome as with the BitYacht bonuses.  Bonus available: 50 Hope you enjoy your time playing at mBTCasino. Games are now the same as BitYacht. |

I'm not sure what you mean. All I'm asking is, if I "Play for Fun", do I have the same odds of winning as if I "Play for Real"ed?
I guess I finally understand what you mean, as I came across a casino software suit with a brochure saying: «Lure your customers into deposit by let them play with our free play mode designed to make them feel they're lucky» And the answer is no, my system has no such rig, the algorithms on both free and real play are exactly the same (I'd already see some folks losing the 100 Free chips quite fast... maybe I should implement a rig like that one of that casino software, but I really don't like rigged games, so to this one also the answer is: No I won't.) Still I was thinking of your question that because you were winning on Free Play mode, you would still win at Real Play. That one I can't tell... you could be winning at free and lose at real / lose at free and win at real / win on both / lose on both... I don't know, don't have a "make lose"/"make win" switch. |

Based on, yes. But battles are quite different, as the battle cards are burnt being only the last one played, with advantage to player (on re-tie, the player wins). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casino_war |

Just added a new table game to the site, it's name is "Cardwars", you can find it near Blackjack at www.bityacht.com (Casino) Rules of Cardwars:Cardwars is the simplest table card game of a casino. Dealer gives you a card, takes a card himself and the one with bigger card face wins - suit doesn't matter. Card values from higher to lower are: Ace - King - Queen - Jack - Ten - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 2 If both have a card with the same value then the player must choose if he surrenders or goes to war. Surrender: The player gets back 50% of his ante War: The player adds a bet of equal value to his ante (if the player's ante was 0.1, the bet will be 0.1 also) 3 cards are burnt by the dealer, the 4th card goes to the player, 5th to the dealer. Again the one with the higher card wins. If card values are equal player wins. Tie bet: In the middle there's a red circle to bet for tie. Tie pays 10:1. A tie is won if the dealer and the player have cards of same value, regardless if the player choose to surrender or to war. Here's a screenshot:  |

Actually you can't blame God of anything. It's God's most funny feature.
"God" operates like a company with 2 managers:
If everything went well you thank God
If it doesn't you blame the Devil
And this system is so freaking perfect that sometimes when one thing is good for one but bad for another, that one will thank God and the other will blame Devil...
But still, yep, why blame (or thank) "God" when himself is an invention of man?

With an outstanding score of 100% prediction FAILS, meet Harold «the Armageddon Crackpot» Camping.  Still 5 or 6 fails behind Jehovah Witnesses, but looking good. Atlas, Sorry if it ruined your plans to become a fundamentalist. Maybe this one would be a good motto to change that saying in dollar bills, clearly God ain't to be trusted. Poor Harold trusted him and ended up mocked (once more). |

The only kind of "squatting" I've to complaint about is when I came up with some new idea, browse for the domain and, a few weeks or days later when I decide to register it find some squatter already filled the place with a simple ad site.
Never come to realize if it is just my luck, conspiracy theory, or whatever... but looks like someone is watching whois look ups to register ahead domains that may be usable...

Well, somebody (with PHP skills at least) want co-op in finish a project I've somewhat "hanging around" for about a month?
It's called bcommerce and it's an ebay-like site able to buy and sell (you can actually create an ad to sell carrots or an ad to buy carrots).
If nobody is on, well... wait one more month or so and I'll be on it again.

Well... one more game done to my Bitcoin casino. Hope you enjoy video poker.  Variant is All American (Jacks or High, no Wild) Coin size ranges from 0.01 BTC to 0.20 / Bets 1 to 5 coins URL: http://www.bityacht.com/index.php?p=slots(bellow the blackjack) |

Well, you've a "terrible flaw" here: Shareholders of company A start selling their stock to buy from company B If BTC has double the price then, unless company A still produces 50 BTC anyway, its shares will be down to 0.5. So investors in A wouldn't gain anything on the rally over B, and most likely would loose a lot, as within the selling rally the price would keep dropping at a fast pace. |

For starters this is a draft, no I'll not start any project, at least just yet, it's meant to discuss ideas.
Following bitcoin motto, but not forking bitcoin - means a totally different project - what can we think about remove bitcoins nags such as:
* Removing IRC from the scenario - it's both: outdated and a weakness
* Removing the block chain - it's a huge nag, it allows eavesdropping within transactions, unless people start to use BTC on its primary function; Commerce; and it generates transactions enough for people to "hide in the mob" I bet some folks keep their eyes on the block chain, some for so long that can already enumerate the nicks of the payer and payee just by looking at the hash.
?
For my very drafty idea we could come up with a system that would work with server/client system, being the coins generated based not on hardware effort (energy should be preserved) but on server dedication. This would mean only those running servers would be able to generate coins clients would do what clients normally do... spend and use them.
Generating these coins would go through a different process and at small amounts at the time.
Each generated coin would need them to be recognized by a significant amount of servers in order to be valid.
Each transaction should be present only until it's validated by a necessary amount of servers, being forget afterwards (this would mean sort of a dynamic block chain).
And now... I came across the first nag I don't know how to solve; being it opensource I wouldn't be surprised if some server owners in a system like this wouldn't start to log the transactions... making them able to track coins just like the block chain does...

Sure, it's an one time service.
However when you hire someone is at either he retires, or got dismissed/fired.
Removing barriers would cause an economic catastrophe due to domino effect. Like bitcoin2cash said early that if he underpays his employees he will "spend more wisely and not on burning cigarettes"... One of the core things that make capitalism efficient is exactly diversification and decentralization, you everybody to consume whatever they want and therefore keep the money flowing.
Let's say all bosses are more up to Pepsi, what would be of Coke then? And who will buy houses? Get a loan in a "MtGox-like labor market"? (means heavily inflated and deflated) It doesn't work that way.
If sometimes (if left alone quite always) many people will try to wage as more as he can, it takes some enforcement to not let the system hang over a single persons' greed - actually such person will "hurt himself" at medium term, but as people lacks wide-view and tend to consider only direct wage vs direct expenses nobody will even think about it.
Sorry folks! You keep talking about "violence" as if it was a linear one-kind only thing. The violence you normally refer is to brutality, but let people starve is a form of violence, exploit people is a form of violence, coerce by economic means is a form of violence...

"Boss and employee" are NOT traders, if you want to find a valid analogy, try marriage.
Unless the employee is just there for a single task in a short time, but for such we use to hire a contractor. You don't "employ" a plumber to fix your bathroom, just contract him.

That's cool, so we could hang around with other folks in Hell and that fundamentalist will spent eternity in pure loneliness... Heaven must be a really boring place!
You know... I tend to agree with Cathars, there's no hell, because we're already on it.

Well... looks like some folks are betting tomorrow to be the "Judgment Day". It's an old team in this crackpot championship, with its last prediction to be 6th September 1994. Ahhhh! They missed! But here they're again. Will they aim to challenge the uncontested champion of this crackpot championship, the Jehovah Witnesses (which counts already with 5+ Armageddon announcements - with a perfect score: 100% fails)? http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/01/03/judgment-day-will-may-21-2011-be-the-end-of-the-world/ |

Hardly "minimum wage" is to "pay more", taken it's already "minimum".
Still, if you want to give away your "boss-rights" to bargain for "employee-rights", it's another sort of deal.
I can believe to be fair an arrangement like; you can publish how much I pay you on your FB page, or wherever you want. You can apply your skills and knowledge acquired during performing your duties to me wherever you want, you can show of to work when you please and I pay you 50% or less of minimum hourly wage (when you show up... of course).
But NOT fair if the employer party still wants to keep its "rights" untouched.
And yes, mostly jobs are "I own you" - just not 24 hours/day, but during work period.
