Well, they need to catch up to the USA after all!

Please Nefario, choke bots in the meantime or take down some heavy stuff that is not 100% needed - it is really not fun at all to not know whether your order went through or not or to sell into a suddenly appearing bidwall instead of placing an open order.

0.1675 * 1.005 = 0.1683375
0.27717 - 0.1074255 = 0.1697445

Seems like something weird going on... 

As I said, the MMM ponzi has paid out every time so fasr as well and they have far superior interest rates even to pirate - you lost much more by not "investing" there!

Dann kann ich als Webseitenbetreiber eine Liste der Hashes der nächsten 1.000.000 Zahlen posten, die gezogen werden (vorberechnete Zufallszahlen) um zu beweisen, dass ich NICHT den Einsatz berücksichtige.

Noch einfacher (und eventuell sicherer, je nach Hashalgorithmus): Hash des Ergebnisses anzeigen, bevor gesetzt wurde. Schau dir z.B. an, wie Satoshi's dice es macht, oder auch die Bitcoin Lotterie... Wieso sollte ich überhaupt deinen Zufallszahlen mehr vertrauen? Außerdem könntest dann du als "Zufallszahlenbetreiber" nach Belieben die Seiten betrügen, die dir vertrauen.

Die Adresse zur Webseite lautet?!

Generell reicht es doch eigentlich einfach einen Hashwert des Ergebnisses zu veröffentlichen - wozu genau sollte man deinen Dienst benötigen und wieviel besser sind deine Zufallszahlen als andere Zufallsquellen?

There are 2 choices:

First choice: Is the address valid?
Bitcoin adresses (similar to credit card numbers for example) have certain criteria they have to fulfill to be a valid address. Most clients will stop you from sending anything to an invalid address and no coins will ever be actually sent (= transaction included in a block) to an invalid address.

Second choice: Does someone actually own the private key to a valid address?
See the example with the "1BitcoinEater..." address above: it's a valid address, but very very VERY likely nobody will ever find a private key to be able to actually spend any coins sent there. You can send funds to any valid address you can think of (and there are many!), but only with a corresponding private key people will be able to actually spend these funds. Think of it like a bank deposit box, where you can (through a hole or something) deposit envelopes filled with cash - but only if somebody actually has the key to the box, he'll be able to get the money out and spend it. Bitcoin has a LOT of these boxes - so many, that you can simply generate your own key and claim the one box that fits as yours. It's practically impossible that anyone else would choose the same key, as there are so many boxes (addresses) out there.

Use these as "seed", even though you can't put a name tag on them.

For visualization it might be interesting to use http://code.google.com/p/gource/ maybe, or just gephi.

I would also like some kind of throttle (not more than 1 page loaded or 10 API requests per second or whatever other limit could be useful) until the server GLBSE runs on has been upgraded.

The nfo:

The movie is not the greatest piece of filmmaking - but the idea behind is interesting and it's interesting to see some people actually turning that into a movie.

Well, at least he still seems to be able to get rid of huge blocks of BTC at once...

Next step should be imho to do the following:
Create clusters out of all addresses where money from or to pirate was transmitted, then write the complete sums as incoming/outgoing to each of them.

Example:
Cluster 1: Sent 1500 to pirate, received 170 from pirate (addresses: 1bitcoinaddress1234, ...)
Cluster 2: Sent 10000 to pirates, received 1337 from pirate (addresses: 1otheraddress1234, ...)

Then it would be apparent (maybe) if there's a cluster (or several clusters) where a lot of funds from pirate are going to and/or coming from.

He wrote "at IPO price", not "none at all".

What was the IPO price by the way?
I'd still be interested in paying in various PPT shares instead of BTC (maybe at a premium? 11 TYGRR.BOND-P for 10 YARR or even 6 for 5) since liquidating them just because I might be able to get some YARR shares (which with all these bots around might likely be sniped away from me) would be quite costly...

Der Text würde fast nur aus Anglizismen oder Wörtern bestehen, die nicht im deutschen Sprachgebrauch vorkommen ("block header" = Blockkopfteil?!).

Ich wüsste nicht wozu, da wohl jeder, der den Inhalt verstehen könnte, auch englisch kann.

@cytokine: Usagi offered much better rates in the CPA thread (you'd get nearly 6% per week for insuring 7%) and he has his own PPT (YARR) which is not accepting deposits atm though. Statements about how much money is available are available in his FAQ.

...?

A csv with timestamps + balance would be neat to make a cool chart. Damn, now I really need to set up Ubuntu to get your thingie running...

Keeping 10% for no real reason other than gaining from people who actually want to donate money/shares?! Not cool!

Also, there's no closed list of who receives the donations and money donations are used to invest in something YOU seem fit on GLBSE, where you have other assets of your own as well running.

Does this insure BTC bound in assets too or does this only cover GLBSE-BTC roaming freely? I have assets that are maybe over 100 BTC if I liquidate them at current bids right now and are considerably higher (of course) if I sell them at current market rates.

Does this also cover crashes of individual assets? Also crashes of underlyings of assets (pirateat40, whatever mrb's or OBSI's "high yield investments" are...)? How will you determine how high my account on GLBSE really was if GLBSE is down + eaten by Godzilla including all backups?

Generally I already thought about insuring my GLBSE account + assets with CPA, I still don't know however how to handle the situation of giving you access to my account (so you can verify my holdings) or if anyone of GLBSE's staff actually would cooperate and tell you what's in my account. Just having a clause in that contract is nice and fine but if you can't enforce it...
