the way i see it - if it were to reach $1000 people would be more inclined to spend a tiny portion of their BTC on stores such as bitcoinstore on tvs, computers, etc because essentially they are buying things with bitcoins (rather than fiat) that were once worth a fraction of the price.

is there a big desire for BTC seedboxes?  a few years ago I ran a successful seedbox website - have been thinking about resurrecting it.

Of  course it is but why not join the party?  I sold at 92 earlier bought back at $75... Easy fucking money.. Just like last weekend sold at 74 bought back at $53... in the process I keep more and more coins... This game isn't for the weak and fearful. I feel bad that they are missing out on a chance to be filty fucking rich

your e-peen is very large, my wise one.

To: "Weak-hands Shakeout" distribution list
Subject: 3/22 shakeout

To all coalition members:

Congratulations on last week's shakeout!  This was our best one yet.  I'll follow up with the date and time of the next planned event.

Just a few observations:

1.  Remember, the timing is critical.  All times are posted in GMT, so PLEASE make the correct translation to your local time.  (There's a tool called Google that can help you with the time conversion.)  Also I recommend that you use www.time.gov, or similar services, to coordinate the timing down to the second. 

2.  No CHEATING!  In order for this to be effective, no pre-selling or pre-buying!  You must sell at the exact moment designated, so that we can maximize the effectiveness of the coalition, and maximize panic in the Bitcoin Market.  This is the honor system - we can all do very well together, by increasing our BTC, without taking from each other.  Remember, the more panic we create, the better off we are.

3.  Remember, our objective is not to cause people to doubt the validity of the currency, but to shake out the weak hands, who panic at every little drop.  Last week was ideal for this, due to the recent price run-up, and the number of noobs in the market.

4.  Gondorg suggested that we adjust the rules.  We're open to ideas.  For now, the rules remain the same:  You are to sell at the designated moment (no sooner), and stay out of the buying market for four hours, to let the panic take hold.  At that point, you can buy back only 10% of whatever amount you sold, for each of the next 10 hours.  After that time, you can buy whatever you want.


Please report your stats to me by the end of the day, for the 3/22 shakeout.  Once I have everyone's numbers, I'll publish them back to you.  Personally, I was able to increase my holdings by 12.6%, at the same investment level!  I also bought in another 5% at the discount prices.  I'll share the btc quantities in my follow-up report.

A fool and his money soon funds my retirement!

There needs to happen a redistribution of coins. Now some individuals hold too many coins.

What's up with the site? I'm pretty new but I love the site, first experience with sports betting Smiley

...but I haven't been able to access for a few days and I've got some unsettled bets and a fair balance that I could use!

Other sites report it being down also. Does anyone from anonibet keep up on this thread?



well...looks like no betting on any of todays NFL games for me...

EDIT:  are there any other NFL betting sites out there besides betsofbitco.in ?
EDIT 2: site is back online - but still waiting for payment of a winning bet

I call for a scammer tag for pay.btc - here is my post in BitcoinMax thread less than 24 hours ago

why no scammer tag to pay.btc?

paybtc had no right to deprive me of the opportunity to negotiate or whatever directly with pirate.  That's why he deserves a scammer tag.

on top of that....pay.btc hasn't even responded posted in this thread for roughly 2 months (since September 06).  On TOP of that he has disabled his website... (without any explanation AFIK)

perhaps pay.btc was scammed just as hard as us lenders...but i don't believe for a second he hasn't made major $$ with his venture and i don't think it is acceptable for him not to keep us posted here in his thread with info.

i only put an initial 10 btc in.  probably got under 2 BTC back from interest gathered - that puts me in the hole for <8btc.

I know this is probably negligible to 90%+ of other users.... but pay.btc should take the total amount he MADE from our INITIAL deposits from every user (and subtracting any interest payed ) then dividing that amount by total amount of accounts and send that figure to each user.

Am I out of line here?

Step one is start a thread for him in the Scam Accusations forum. I see no one has bothered yet, including you.


I'll take your advice and do it now!

pay.btc - i see you have not been active since     October 21, 2012, 09:26:44  - (nearly a week) why dont you come in here and explain whats going on - or have you "abandoned ship"?

EDIT: done
334  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 90 minutes for 1 block... on: October 26, 2012, 03:32:21 PM
Every single transaction that is included in a block is going to be stored on tens of thousands of computers forever;

… until pruning comes along and I'm very very sure it will. storing all the information about addresses with 0$atoshi in them is just waste of disk space.

… also "tens of thousands of computers forever" could be disputed. Bet in 5 years from now, full nodes will be down to less than 10k either because bitcoin became obsolete or too high traffic for most people.
I disagree.  Bitcoin blockchain growth will be linear while technological innovation and progress will be exponential.  At some point, the Bitcoin block chain will be no bigger deal than a simple word document.

1MB (max block size) * 6 * 24 * 365 = 53GB.  That's the maximum growth of the blockchain per year.  We already have 3 TB HDD's, so those'll last for 56 years.  And in 56 years, we should theoretically have 268 exabyte HDD's, which would last, for all intents and purposes with regards to Bitcoin, indefinitely.

And if you want to talk about bandwidth, it's the same story.  I now have 50mbps cable service available to my residence.  5 years ago, I only had 12mbps available.  10 years ago, I only had 768kbps dsl available.  So bandwidth is basically following Moore's law as well.  In 5 more years, I should have 300mbps service, etc, while the bandwidth requirements of Bitcoin will remain the same, at 53GB/year (or 13kbps).

50mbps!?  What ISP are you using and how many arms and legs are they charging you for that!?

right now I pay ~$50 for 24mbps

if only i had FIOS in my location Sad

Why not use torrent/magnet link - or am i missing some vulnerability there?

A trusted user posts the torrent file at some location and we all seed.

Great idea, the magnet links contain a cryptographic hash of the file.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_URI_scheme
Quote
The Magnet URI scheme is a de facto standard (instead of an open standard) defining a URI scheme for Magnet links, which mainly refer to resources available for download via peer-to-peer networks. Such a link typically identifies a file not by location, but by content -- more precisely, by the content's cryptographic hash value.

So Gavin could sign it with his key and share on the forum and sourceforge and we all get to check for the main client integrity even if a central download server is hacked. The nice thing is all torrent clients know how to handle them and start looking for peers and download the main client without issues.

exactly...any change to the file and the torrent wont download - similar to the way blockchain works

FATCA has three main parts:
    It requires foreign banks to find any American account holders and disclose their balances, receipts, and withdrawals to the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS), or be subject to a 30% withholding tax on income from US financial assets held by the banks.[1][2]
    Owners of these foreign-held assets must report them on a new Form 8938 along with US tax returns if they are worth more than US$50,000; a higher reporting threshold applies to overseas residents.[3] Account holders would be subject to a 40% penalty on understatements of income in an undisclosed foreign financial asset.[1]
    It closes a tax loophole that investors had used to avoid paying any taxes on dividends by converting them into dividend equivalents.[4]

I don't think Romney would be pleased  Grin
