Seems to me that provable fairness gives the spotlight to crypto-charlatans, I would much rather trust my funds to large licensed casinos than a bunch of dorks hashing each other hashes in someones basement.
So you rather know that your gambling could have been fixed by the casino so for sure lose. Or would you rather have something that is as random as it gets, the software can't fix it to make sure you lose. I don't know what planet your from. Also why you have to name call? LMAO Does it in-power you in some way? The chance of it being fixed by an established and licensed casino is much lower than ANY bitcoin casino. S. Dice for example claim they have fair play, yet it is possible for them to submit selective bets since they know the secret word in advance and potentially steal from their investors. Okay not bad right? Wrong, nobody can vouch for the quality of the numbers that satoshidice generates and how random they are exactly, have they been certified by the Swiss Federal Office of Metrology (also known as METAS) and confirmed for quality number output that could compare to commercial RNGs such as Quantis? No? Didn't think so, it was certified by a bunch of smartasses on bitcointalk. Using the (salted) hash of the chat as a seed is also a bad idea for various reasons, please leave it to the pros to generate quality random numbers, especially when it comes to gambling on virtual property, fund your project properly and hire a qualified person to do that work. You clearly never been to a licensed casino, slots are the worst odds and how is 95% in a bitcoin casino less than a licensed casino? S.Dice has certainly had losing months, and they can't do that and if you check up on that, so if they do it you can show the forum, but I doubt that. They have made millions and don't need to fix the bets, that would make them lose everyone that was using the site. You can't do random numbers in computers hence why you need hash something can be random, like a chat, and it clearly works as you can see it working. |

http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/11/mt-gox-cross-site-scripting-attack-wipes-out-bitcoin-accounts/The price of freedom, as they say, is eternal vigilance. A user called bitbully on the Bitcointalk Forums found himself 34 bitcoins poorer when he visited a site claiming to be a chat service connected with Mt. Gox, a popular bitcoin trading service. The site, wwwdotmtg(this is an o)x-ch(this is an a)tdotinfo (do not visit this site), apparently places a cross-site transfer order on the victim’s computer immediately upon visiting using a Java applet. Because the transactions aren’t reversible and the attackers are anonymous, the victims are out of luck.

http://readwrite.com/2013/04/11/bitcoinswhat-are-those-againBitcoins, the digital currency that's been making headlines almost nonstop lately, suffered a major price crash yesterday, losing more than half its value in under 24 hours.
That shock movement is shaking the peer-to-peer economy and any shred of trust in the currency's stability. And it's also making a lot of people stop and realize that they don't really understand what bitcoins are.

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2417649,00.aspIt took decades for Tulipmania to peak and crash and years for the recent housing bubble to burst. But the meteoric, week-old bull market for Bitcoins appears poised to tank at a hyper-accelerated pace.
Just a day after Bitcoin prices were reaching $266, per trading site Mt. Gox, the bubble showed signs of popping violently for the virtual currency. Bitcoins were trading at a weighted average of $210 on the site as of Wednesday afternoon, but hit a low of $105 in the most recent hours of activity.

http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/10/bitcoin-crash/Bitcoin is undergoing a classic correction after quintupling in price over the past 30 days. The currency, which was trading as high as $265 earlier today on Mt. Gox, plummeted and is now trading at around $150.
We’ve reached out to one of the biggest exchanges, Mt. Gox, to see what happened. But another San Francisco-based exchange called TradeHill is saying that the crypto-currency is falling because of apparent distributed denial of service attacks on Mt. Gox and Bitstamp. A denial of service attack happens when an attacker overwhelms a target with external requests, so that it can’t honor regular requests from legitimate users.

http://pandodaily.com/2013/04/10/great-now-engineers-think-that-they-are-economists-too-2/Several months ago, one of my company’s engineers told me about Bitcoin. It wasn’t the first time that I had heard about the concept, but it was the first time that somebody I knew actually bought some.
Did I say some? What I meant to say is that he bought a crapload of Bitcoins. They were worth about $9 each when he acquired them, and he decided to drop a healthy $5,000 on his roll of digital bullion.

Ok I didn't think this one really thru, but if you find issue just post it here. Anyone can use this idea, but if you want to be super cool and your a mobile developer, and need someone to build the backend, I can do it, for a contact.
Reason I am releasing this, is that I have no mobile app development skills, nor do I want to hire someone to do it.
Now onto the idea, so it would be an application to find people that can sell you bitcoins in a pinch. So you would whip out your cell phone, type in how many bitcoins you need or how much cash you have. That would get sent to a server, that would then broadcast everyone in a 10 - 20 mile radius from you. Someone would then claim it, it would then lock them into the current Mt Gox price. You would probably at this point want to have two different account types, a seller and a buyer. Sellers should send bitcoins to there account so they are not getting broadcasted messages that can't afford. At the lock in that amount of bitcoins would be moved to an escrow type system. Once the seller and buyer met up, using the in-app chat system, the buyer would give the cash to the seller and once the buyer and seller type in there passwords, the system would make sure the coordinates match up to ~800ft (a gps limitation), the buyer's bitcoin would be transfered from seller to the buyer's account, and then the buyer would be able to send the bitcoins from the app to any address, they want.
Just an idea...

http://qcl.me is my pet project and it is starting to get attention, I get between 40 - 50 uniques a day, and some times even up to 80. I am working on marketing it more and people are adopting it quickly. So for one day it will cost 0.001 Bitcoins. If you want multiple days just say 3 @ 0.001 =0.003 Get on the ground floor cause next month it could be a lot more for ad space. Btw this is only the second month it has been running. Ad format can be html or an image, I host for you, it will cost extra if I have to host the image for you, it will be 0.0005 extra.

you are the one that cam into my thread and started insulting me it was self defense. I don't take it kindly when some forum troll comes into my topic's and starts shit just because he doesn't have anything better to do.
If i get banned unlike you i will not cry, i'm on a vpn, i will simply register a new account and start over. Nothing of value was lost that day.jpg
I will save this so next time you come back, theymos can just ban that whole VPN network  |

If you want to use a signed message login, just use GPG keys.
But the idea to to exchange "less" information -_-! But if your exchanging GPG keys then it is encrypted and you can in turn send more information just for you and the costumer. |

http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/08/how-to-mine-bitcoinsMining bitcoins – a process that helps manage bitcoin transactions as well as create new “wealth” – are the new Beanie Babies. Luckily for us, however, bitcoins seem to be going up in value and should maintain their value over time, unlike your mint condition Tiny the stuffed Chihuahua.
But how do you get bitcoins? You can begin by buying them outright, but the market is currently wild. At $188 per coin, the direction of the bitcoin is anyone’s guess right now and, unlike equities, these things don’t split. In short, you should probably mine. But what is bitcoin mining?

Gweedo, you could write a contract where you give him Bitcoins in exchange for keeping quiet. That is the fair and free market way to deal with speech we don't like. Well how do you propose to stop him?
Free market = anyone can talk about bitcoins
People can dress how they want.
Maybe the foundation should add a press section to get in touch with them. Or have a list of people news outlets can use as creditable sources. Really my issue with this is using the words "3-d printed guns" and "laundering". Those along with "drugs", "gambling" and "terrorism" shouldn't be used from the person that is talking about bitcoins unless the person directly ask a question about it. I know hindering one person in anyway like this is very much against bitcoins, but I think he has hit a limit with his speech that requires some intervention of not forcing those extreme views on bitcoins. |

I want to get a new deck and some bearings as well. I would like to pay in bitcoin...

also any press is good press!
Very False, this was bad press and might have ruined some people views of bitcoins. Plus are you going to take an outspoken rebel as serious, as he should be presenting himself too. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbkxRbTEgoEI found this video. Let me just say, Amir Takki is a great developer but he can't go talking about and I probably paraphrasing "...it is bringing money laundering from big people to the common people..". This is exactly what type of labels we don't want on bitcoins. Everyone needs to stay away from the "launder" word. Also he talked about how "3-d printing guns" is the way to solve issues with fraud in the bitcoin world. He is a complete rebel, and should not be affiliated with the community. The host even at one point basically had to treat him like a kid and tell him to wait his turn. He is using words that would scare people away. Amir is a great developer, he knows how bitcoin is the future and his passion is amazing. Just the way he presents himself is a little far from what we need in the community to be our voice.
