usrename : hyipworld
Dicebit last I heard hasnt proven to payout yet.

Doesn't mean they won't.  They have put some money into a trusted escrow.  I think they're going to pay, at least for the first month.

In the future, don't run windoze!  Or, if you have to run windows for your day-to-day life, at least put your bitcoin wallet into a usb linux that you boot into and keep that clean.  99.9999999999999999999% of the viruses and keyloggers out there are targeting windows, if you just move to GNU/Linux (even if it's only for your bitcoins) you'll avoid the vast, vast majority of attacks.

1) wrong, bitcoin is more safe than fiat economy in a bank.

Perhaps, but many folks might be investing their bitcoins in a business which is not more safe than fiat economy in a bank.

Off topic : this thread has alof pages dedicated to signature promotions.


Can't wait for stunna to release the new website and signature deals!!

Yay

Edit: 500 pages!!!

Personally I'm a bit nervous that he's going to take pay-per-post off the table.  We'll have to see.  I think that if he does do this, a lot of folks will leave the campaign.  If you ask me, it's this long running sig-campaign that makes primedice such a popular gambling spot.
3385  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will you sell? on: August 07, 2014, 05:51:04 AM
I would definitely sell 1 if/when the price goes back to above 1KUSD.  I'd probably hold the rest for a bit though.  And if the price went back down after that 1000K sell, I'd probably use the 1000USD to buy some more.

Hey everybody,
I found some Casascius coins/holograms that I used to use to make my own Casascius coins. Instructions on how to load will be provided if you need them. I would like to sell them for $4/ea (convert @preev.com). Price includes shipping-please be advised it will be via regular First Class Mail (silly to send any way else). PM me if interested-thanks!



Hey there, I'm just a little confused by what you said above.  You found some coins/holograms that you used to make coins?  Can you clarify whether you made or found these or what parts you made and what parts you found?  Also, i thought that casacius was a particular vendor.  Finally, are your coins plastic or metal?  As you can see, I'm totally confused.  Cheers!

why you allow to play to id in one computer ?

What does this mean?  Can you rephrase, I don't understand.

Glad to see the competition with primedice on the pay-per-post scheme.  I'll be watching this campaign closely.  Good luck!

It's the campaign that never ends
So many coins so in a sense you never need to worry about running out of targets for a while lol.

Right, but then again, there's nothing actually being done against the "targets".  I really think that anyone with half-a-brain realizes that the altcoin thing is as dead as a doornail at this point.  The only crytpo with any real value is the only crypto with any actual adoption and that one's name is in the url of this forum.

sed is right on point.  altcoins are the new sourge of the bitcoin world.  It would be cool if the "shitcoin cleanout" actually cleaned anything, but what I can I say, I'm not a miner so I don't have anything to contribute.

Think I missed something.  I guess the krillrolls are getting taken away or shortened or something...

I know I felt screwed when I finally got enough krill to get into the 500krillroll back in the day and think like 1 week later they made the lowest krillroll be the 1.25K.  Basically, I guess we have to heed Micon's words: I giveth and I taketh away.  What's sad to me is that the early users and legacy accounts don't get any grandfathered priviledges.  What about some loyalty to those who have been with you for so long, SwC?  Don't you love us back?
3391  Economy / Economics / Re: Please stop with mBTC, microBTC, ...! on: July 30, 2014, 09:54:18 PM
However, given that bitcoin transactions can indeed be measured in bits (although kilobytes would be more typical way to express it), there is a real confusion.

Really? Lets put aside the argument if you do or do not like "bits" as a unit.  You honestly would be confused.  You can't determine the meaning of the word from the context even though you do it for thousands of other words every single day.

My internet connection is blazing fast, it is 50 Megabits per second. Would you honestly believe he was saying his internet connection generating 50 million bits of currency a second?  Really?

The tickets are 5,000 bits.  Would you honestly be trying to figure out how they compressed the concert tickets to be less than 1KB?  Really?

Ok, I think you're trying to get me to address whether or not I would be confused.  And I think you're right to put it into context.  If you say "my internet connection is fast, 50megabits per second" then there's very little chance for confusion because you primed me with the adjective "fast".  However, in your second example, you use the semantically bleached "are" which is interpretable in many different ways, so I like this example.  Now imagine these are etickets, you say "tickets are 4096 bits".  Are you talking about the price of the tickets in bitcoins or are you talking about the size of the tickets as a network packet?  Presumably, in whatever context our conversation occurs, we can disambiguate this.  However, I think it's clumsy to use a unit of size on a network to indicate an arbitrarily placed decimal amount of a currency that's basically transmitted in packets over a network.  I really do think this is a lot like saying, I have a new name for price of 3 bottles of soda water, we're going to call it a "litre".  So, yes you can now buy 6 litres for 1 litre.  Sad

So, looking at the OP, we are really being asked to stop using metric prefixes on BTC rather than simply sticking to BTC and satoshi.  This idea of "bits" must have another thread elsewhere I guess.  I agree with sed that the "bits" thing seems weird.

Personally, I have no problem with the metrix prefixes and I have my own bias because I played a lot of dragons tale casino.  In that game, mBTC is commonly used and below mBTC we usually see kSAT.  So, we go from millibtc to kilosatoshis, then, obviously, just plain satoshis.   My own opinion is that if you were going to pick out a special decimal place to name, it should probably be somewhere around 0.00001, something between mBTC and uBTC because that's on the order of magnitude to the value of a USD penny.  Well that's my opinion anyway.  Naming it something other than kSAT seems unmotivated to me, and naming it something like "bits" or "meters" seems outlandish.

Isn't Spoetnik that huge BC guy?
like the same BC that was one of the most epic pump and dump scamcoins of all time?

Spoetnik definitely had a few choice words for me a week or so ago when I pointed out the irony of his saber-rattling about shitcoins while wearing a signature about some kinda "jackpotcoins".  I don't know if he's a pump-n-dump scammer but I'm like sed, I want to see an overview of "mission accomplished" from these dudes.  Following this thread so far it just seems like chest-thumping.

Can I reserve a spot to begin on 17th when PD finishes?  I like the better rates here but I don't want to lose half-a-month's payment.

Sweet!  That's what I was looking for!  Curiosity sated.  mmmmm.

That's an interesting way to look at it.
People usually go buy the most expensive stuff so they can _have_ the company logo on it haha.

pay money to make adds....and they say humanity is evoluting  Grin

spelling, obviously, is not evoluting...Sad

Snarky NB: "adds" means "sums"
3396  Other / Meta / Re: Marketplace trust on: July 29, 2014, 08:20:40 PM
You guy's will forgive me if I keep bumping this question, originally asked by tspacepilot on the last page and seconded (and thirded) by me:

How to understand the details of the calculation which results in the various numbers.  There's a conceptual description on page 1, but no details (AFAIK) anywhere.  I'm just curious about how the actual numbers get calculated.

The OP talks about how the first number is about how "consistently" the user has received positive feedback.  The second number is the number of scams.  Then the third and fourth numbers are said to increase with positive feedback with the fourth being less vunerable to abuse.  Is there any more detailed explanation about what these numbers mean?  It's not crucial I'm just curious about it.

Yup, I'm still waiting for this too.  I'm thinking now that only theymos knows, or someone else probably would have chimed in by now.

I'm not aware of Theymos ever making the exact calculations public.  I rarely depend on those numbers for anything anyhow. They are too easy to manipulate. I typically scan through the actual written feedback looking at what was actually written and who wrote it.

Right, I think that's what I mean, I'm wondering if he will make the calculation public so that we can have some idea how to interpret these numbers.  I agree that they can be manipulated, but that doesn't sate my curiousity about how they are produced.  I guess I could start making a bunch of alt accounts and fool around with the trust system until I figure it out by empirical reverse engineering, but it seems easier just to ask Smiley

Yah, I think it's unfortunate, but you're exactly right.  If more people did as I do, then companies would eventually offer discounts to folks who left the logo.  Which, IMHO, would be better for everyone.  As a consumer, I know that when I see a company logo on someone's product, that that person got paid to put it there and as a buyer, I can decide if I want to sell my advert space or if I'd rather keep it clean.

Consider, for example, that until very recently, only FC Barcelona (of the worldwide budget clubs) kept a shirt with no advertizements on it.  Nowadays they finally caved and sold the chest.  Then you can compare that to the nascar guys who have logos on every inch of their suit and their car.

hi bobsag3 --
i'm awaiting payment for the past month, and id like to sign up again for the next month as a Sr Member.

same address is fine.

post count: 327

hey, just making sure you didn't miss this one. still waiting to receive payment for last month. no worries, though, thanks as always, bobsag3!

Hey, AceWallen, I think you have to have the bitmixer.io advert first in the sigspace in order to get paid by them.  As far as I know, minersource doens't mind being second.

It will definitely be interesting to see whether folks stick around for the next, month-long period.  The low max post count makes a lot of sense for the first week, but I suppose that people will look for another option if they have to wait around all month (just my opinion).  The test, of course, will be an empirical one that we'll find out about in about 2 days.

I'm just glad he finally paid everyone.  I think the main thing here is that everyone who worked for XBTec owes lots of thanks to AlexRossi because I'm kinda thinking that he's the only reason any of us got paid.
