I'm asking $40 mtgox price for 100 codes sent by pm or email. This is far cheaper than actually buying 100 bottles of pepsi and manually typing out the codes. PM or post here if interested. Thanks!
It's cheaper but not "far cheaper" than buying the drinks. A 6 pack of 16oz bottles gets you 6 codes, and retails for $2.99, which works out to less than 50 cents per code (plus the drink Tongue). Your offer is 40 cents per code. If you buy at costco, you can probably get a better deal.

I don't know if you live in California, but this thing even at retail would pay for itself with one speeding ticket (I did 81 in a 70 and my fine was 400.xx). I'm seriously considering investing in one. Thanks for the backhanded suggestion!
just make sure it's legal in your area

Whats the point of owning a vehicle that can do 140 and doing 70?
Cheers,
Matt
better question: why buy a vehicle that can do 140 when you can only do 70? Tongue translation: don't get a sports car.

Quote from: grue
what's the advantage of this over off-the-chain transactions? It's essentially what you're proposing.

Could you explain the details of how off-the-chain transactions work? Wasn't aware of such an option.

However, the advantage here is that micro transactions can go on with people who want them. Say 1000 people want to send a satoshi to you. Instead of 1000 meaningless transactions, my method bundles it into one. My method actually works best if the dust limit is raised even higher. However I have noticed that there is a con. Because the node bundles the input into one single wallet, they essentially act as short term banks. They could become prone to attackers wanting to steal the wallets. Only a possibility.
that's the definition of off the chain transactions: a trusted third party accumulates (stores) microtransactions and bundles them into big transactions.

Quote from: nlovric
Now it is plainly obvious that you're a scammer
hey wait a minute. You just said before that he was obviously a scammer. Now you're saying he "may be" a scammer? Nice backtracking, bro.


buyer is most certainly an extortionist as they are coercing customers to go their way by posting scam intention accusations and/or pointing out the risk for customers in the same types of services that they are running themselves etc. in all competition threads. Also, I see they make accusing posts and then lock them so that the accused user cannot reply.
But it's only extortion if he's using coercion to extract money. If he's not asking for money, it's not coercion.

You clearly don't understand what the words you're using means. Your english skills are clearly lacking, either get better at english or don't use words you don't understand. At best you're making a fool of yourself, at worse you're being defamatory.

Are you kididng me? This is the best you've got grue? IRL, rick rolling is when  someone appears to be your friend and fucks you over in the end. same concept as the rick rolling meme from the internet.
wait, you can rick roll people in real life? I wonder how you'd convince your friends to manually type in a youtube link. No wait, you just redefined "rick roll" to suit your own purpose, which is not how language works.

Quote
Rickrolling is an Internet meme[1][2] involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up". The meme is a bait and switch; a person provides a hyperlink which is seemingly relevant to the topic at hand, but actually leads to Astley's video. The link can be masked or obfuscated in some manner so that the user cannot determine the true destination of the link without clicking. People led to the music video are said to have been rickrolled. Rickrolling has extended beyond web links to playing the video or song disruptively in other situations, including public places,[2] such as a live appearance of Astley himself in the 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York.[1] The meme has helped to revive Astley's career.[3]
Yeah, I'm really puzzled how you could click hyperlinks in real life.

On the other hand, what does the OP stand to gain from lying? Sympathy tips?
That doesn't support his story. It's the equivalent of "you think someone would lie on the internet?"

the reason for the 12 hrs apart was i had another deposit that was taking longer to get put into my account and almost right after i get the email saying fund are in my account i load up my wallet and find just all the coins gone.
and yes only been in bitcoins a little over 2 weeks sure puts a bad taste in my mouth after this incident,
That still leaves the question: why would a thief leave funds behind when stealing a wallet?

the title of this thread is self explanatory. feel free to post in this thread if he's fucked you over to.
so you're "Being Rick Rolled By Trade Fortress"? Do you even know what that means, retard? Rick roll = send link of "never gonna give you up" to someone. At this point you pretty much lost all credibility.

I'm being bullied by someone who is abusing his position of trust to blackball people on bitcointalk. what can i do?

2112  Economy / Marketplace / Re: WTS 71 Gh/s Avalon Unit in hand - overnight shipping on: June 15, 2013, 02:17:14 PM

This all also assumes you bought it today. If you bought it late last year, you've made a pretty nice profit already and it's still under warranty, :p.
are you dense? we're talking about future earnings, not past earnings. if you're going to "speculate" on past performance, you might as well argue that you should buy 100 BTC right now because it will grow 100x.

grue - you are thinking in fiat not BTC which isn't how it works. All I am stating is that if you had 250 BTC today and holding it for a number of years it makes much more sense to spend that on mining equipment.
And what's the logic behind that? In what situation would spending 250 BTC on a 71 GH ASIC be more profitable than holding? So far the only way is for difficulty to be unrealistically low. If you think otherwise, give me numbers (price + difficulty) that would show buying ASIC to be more profitable than holding.

Anyway this is a sales thread or was lol until it turned into some kind of name calling / hate thread. Anyway feel free to PM me or email me on any other questions or posts. I don't want to reply to each and every one since its hard to not get trolled and not a productive use of time. I think I did a good job above on stating my thoughts.

PuertoLibre - you should just be able to go to google drive and import the excel file and then share with everyone and your good to go.

Grue - On your comment "And your logic about "long Bitcoin" is fallacious. If you're paying $x now to get y BTC over the next 2 years, what's the point when you can spend $x now and get z BTC right now? (hint: y < z). I don't care if BTC goes to $1 or $100, you'll end up with more bitcoins just by buying."

Can you explain this better? Keep in mind this is bitcoin that is being traded not fiat. There is no USD conversion etc. So I don't get what you mean. If I had 250 BTC bitcoin now how is that better than lets say 300 BTC earned via mining say two years from now? Since its a long bet your better off mining the bitcoin. Now if your using USD you are probably still better off mining than buying bitcoin for tax purposes since its so speculative and you can get the hardware depreciation.
Buy ASIC from yantis @ 250 BTC:
207 BTC over the useful life of the ASIC


Buy BTC from mtgox at current prices:
250 BTC in your hands right now

you see the problem? Your 300 BTC calculation is bullshit as demonstrated by spreadsheets. You have to have an extremely rosy difficulty forecast to break even compared to buying BTC.
2114  Economy / Marketplace / Re: WTS 71 Gh/s Avalon Unit in hand - overnight shipping on: June 15, 2013, 02:29:19 AM
what? 105btc back on a 250btc investment over a whole year isn't good? Smiley

I bet OP will say 105 back is great cuz you still have a 250btc machine, so you're at 355btc worth of hardware/btc, haha meanwhile he's trying to lock in a solid 2.5x profit on his hardware alone not counting what he's already made.

You know OP is a master interneter, he couldn't even find the proper sub-forum for his COMPUTER HARDWARE FOR SALE--->https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=75.0
bait

As for the comment on ASICMiner. All I know is I paid 2.1 BTC each for 80 block erupters.. hardly a good value... I don't know much about the blades but for sure they are not plug and play and seem to be more work than they are worth. Also, when you pay its mining to your account immediately and shipped overnight.. not waiting weeks to get the unit like the ASICMiner stuff or a preorder.

I have no idea what the market is going to do but I do know that I am keeping at least a dozen Avalons and will run them into the ground. Keep in mind I am doing a 10 year bet on Bitcoin. So for me I feel very confident in making my 250 Bitcoins back on these units and more likely in the next 12 months and the rest is just profit. I think people are highly over estimating difficulty but in case I am wrong on that I leveraged that with some good pre orders (like the 7 Jupiters I bought which I honestly don't think will hit till January even if they say September since they haven't even taped out yet).

I don't think the hardware will fail on these since even if a board failed you can just throw it into another unit (each unit holds 4 and comes with 3 so you have room for one spare albeit you might need a bigger power supply. There has not been a single reported Avalon board failure to date that I am aware of so I expect these to last years.

I think the simple fact that I am only selling a few of these units speaks for itself. BTW I paid more than 250 BTC for these on average and that was just this last week =). So if I thought it was all bad I wouldn't have bought them in the first place. I almost regret even offering them for sale with the amount of ranting and hate lol its just not worth it. I might just take down the whole offer lol.

My advice is if you are long Bitcoin this is a better investment than holding Bitcoin and I did put my money where my mouth is and continue to do so.
no, that's retarded. I don't care if ASICMINER or BFL are selling at $100 per GH, if they're not going to make ROI, no sane person is going to purchase, period. And your logic about "long Bitcoin" is fallacious. If you're paying $x now to get y BTC over the next 2 years, what's the point when you can spend $x now and get z BTC right now? (hint: y < z). I don't care if BTC goes to $1 or $100, you'll end up with more bitcoins just by buying. No matter how you slice it, 250 BTC is an insane price.

PuertoLibre - Would love a copy of the google doc or excel if you could PM me. I would love to play with it..especially going out a few years.

I love a good debate though sometimes wish it wasn't in my sales thread but I am not hiding anything so it is what it is.
holy crap are you retarded? it's just a few formulas + autofill.

edit: if took calculus in high school, you can integrate the function (1+z)^-x, where z = network growth in percent.

What is the easiest simplest way to create a loan mechanism in Bitcoin?
it's impossible for the very reason you posted. There's no way to "force" others to pay you in case their loans go south. With systems like bitfinex or bitcoinica(defunct), it was possible to liquidate the debtor's assets in case losses were sustained. This is not possible with bitcoin. You still need to rely on the traditional system of risk assessment, collateral, and repossession.
2116  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: I want a client that... on: June 15, 2013, 02:16:46 AM
That's not a difficult problem to solve though.
You can scan a fingerprint and see if it is a close match.

So the key doesn't come from the figerprint itself. The key is random generated and held in the client and only released to decrypt if the scanned fingerprint matches.

That means it isn't good security by itself for a local exploit on the machine with the key, but it good at preventing decryption of the wallet if stolen from a remote backup server.
But what's the point of this compared to a password?

I don't know if there is an open source solution but

http://cervisia.org/biometrics_encryption.php

seems to indicate there actually may be a working solution to fingerprint -> key
what's the point of this if the key entropy is low? sure, you got a key but people can bruteforce it without a reader.

You have to think bigger. Half the people on this planet have net worths measured in the hundreds. What is a cent, or a fraction of a cent to you is enough to buy a coffee, or lunch in another country - a country where Bitcoin adoption will be more rapid and ubiquitous, because its utility and value far outstrips their national fiat currency. Dust payments are everything.

yes, getrawmempool lists the transactions in bitcoind's memory, - but that
still doesnt help - the transactions are in alphabetical order not as they are
received --

how can i get bitcoind to give them to me, in the order it got them ?
That is not supported by bitcoind. You can do one of the following:

  • poll the daemon frequently and use a delta filter with a database to find "new" transactions
  • modify bitcoind to run a command when it receives a transaction. good ideas are: a) hook CTxMemPool::accept() or b) modify walletnotify rpc command to alert for all transactions, not just your own
  • steal procure data from blockchain.info

tl;dr there's no ez solution, you'll have to get your hands dirty.
