Why would this be needed when we already have a bitcoin stock exchange? "Because this uses ltc instead" is not a reason to me (unless you can explain why it should be).

Can you explain why it would be a bad idea?

Litecoin, though virtually identical to Bitcoin in all other ways, has 3 key differences:

1)  Scripting (allowing anybody with a computer but without a lot of money to spend on GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs to get in the game)
2)  4x the maximum coin limit
3)  5x faster block generation

Litecoin has potential for future use as a silver to Bitcoin's gold.  I could easily see Litecoin being used in the future for small, convenience-store-like transactions.  Moreover, Litecoin (aside from Namecoin) is the only alternative currency that has showed any real signs of long-term interest.  Here and there, some people have tried to offer/purchase goods for Litecoins.  Perhaps most importantly, Litecoins are currently more accessible to the average person because the standard Litecoin client has an included miner.  Anyone that owns a computer of any kind can simply download the client and get to mining.

4x times faster block generation, not 5. That's why we have 4x times more coins than Bitcoin.

Whoops lol.  Thank you.

I just wonder how many chose the wire transfer option in hopes of a chargeback in the event that BFL misses their target shipping dates by a wide margin.

It is not possible to charge back a wire transfer.

...You can't dispute it?
2509  Economy / Marketplace / Re: ["WAIT LIST"] BFL SC Jalapeno/Single Order Dates / Ship Dates on: June 25, 2012, 08:20:37 AM
Why no SC mini rig tally?


Same as the older mini rig thread, I wanted to see if they wanted to have their own thread for SC.

It would be fine with me to track them here.

How is that the same as the older mini rig thread?  It's a completely different product, and it doesn't look as if that thread is trying to gather any info about SC mini-rig orders.  Furthermore, you're adding together the estimated T/H increases and a single SC mini rig adds an estimated 1 T/H.

It would be my vote to go ahead and add a SC mini rig column.

Id rather spend the money on dividend yielding shares than give myself cancer by handing money to bfl Smiley

Well for us total morons that did place an order, I'm interested to see the results given that the shipping order is dependent upon submitted payment.

I would say there is a lot if only because some exchanges were slow and coins sent to bitpay might not have got there in  time, as was posted on another thread.

I just wonder how many chose the wire transfer option in hopes of a chargeback in the event that BFL misses their target shipping dates by a wide margin.  I haven't seen anyone claim that BFL has sent them wire instructions yet.

When answering this poll, answer 'yes' or 'no' only if you placed one order.
2514  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Chess and gambling on: June 25, 2012, 06:05:50 AM
Is starting an online chess bitcoin gambling site like online poker sites illegal? I've heard that because chess is a game of pure skill it does not fall under the typical illegal status in the United States. Is this true? Supposing that online chess gambling was legal in the United States what would happen if players from outside the United States started using the site? Could the company running the site from United States be in legal trouble with regards to the law in other countries because their citizens accessed the site and gambled?

Not sure about the legality of this, but I'd imagine that you'd run into the problem of cheating using bots or chess engines.
2515  Economy / Investor-based games / Re: Bitcoin Pyramid [Beta] - the oldest working pyramid? on: June 25, 2012, 05:25:20 AM
This pyramid has been steadily growing ever since I signed up about 9-10 months ago.  I deposited .1 BTC and I have, in fact, received multiple payments from randoms.  It makes me wish I had deposited more when I signed up!

Referrals are definitely where it's at, though.

@ Miscreanity,

Out of curiosity, are those the indicators you use most frequently?  I always use RSI, MACD, and Money Flow Index (and momentum) when I head to Bitcoincharts.com

Bit-Pay is a true bro.  I'm very happy to see you're being so responsible about this unique scenario.

2520  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If god is a mathmatical formula, is it safe to say that Bitcoin is backed by god on: June 25, 2012, 02:48:21 AM
Also, you can trace back mathematics to something more fundamental, such as language...

All that is needed to constitute a language is syntax, content, and grammar.

Math is just a subset of language.
