Why don't you try https://btcjam.com/.

You will have to verify yourself in order to get a loan, but all data will be kept by BTCjam as long as you payback your rates.

Come down, a big part is only the ETH Zuerich www.ethz.ch/.

And they are not mining, they are simply running a (super) node (IP: 82.130.102.160) with their University Internet access. Their Node has nearly 1500 connections to other nodes, including a direct connection to blockchain.info.

Therefore they are able do distribute fund blocks faster through the network than the miner himself.

See the big orange spot here: https://blockchain.info/nodes-globe?series=topBlockRelay that's them.

So everything is alright.

Rather Good article about bitcoin and its use for online poker:

Quote from: Headline
Bryan Micon, site pro at the Bitcoin-only poker room Seals with Clubs and head honcho of the always-controversial DonkDown forums and podcast, argues why the digital currency is a game-changer for online poker.

Random Quotes:

Quote
People barely understand me when I talk these days.
I speak a language of SHA 256, BitInstant, public-private key cryptography, giga-hashes per second, and I’m considering building a substantial mining rig to support the network and always be able to keep a copy of the block-chain.

Yup, I’m speaking Bitcoin language again. My twitter is updated to “Drank the #bitcoin kool-aid” and I religiously preach it on every DonkDown radio show. Most times I leave the house I have my bitcoin logo pin attached near my physical wallet, a subtle poke at the duality of man, sir. To say that Bitcoin has consumed my life is an understatement.

Quote
“Bitcoin is one of the most amazing feats of human technical achievement I have witnessed in my lifetime.”

Quote
“Bitcoin is not a payment solution, it’s not the latest hack around the traditional banking system—it’s a new currency. It’s a game changer.”

Quote
“You don’t have to trust a Bitcoin poker site as much—just withdraw your entire balance after every session to a trusted wallet, possibly your own computer hard drive.”

Seems like Micon is really making some news in the online poker world.

I'm actually thoroughly  impressed with the asic price/performance ratio, its like buying just shy of a bfl single today for about 1 btc, so the cost to performance ratio is very nice!  Have not compared apples to apples though regarding the prices of the other asic suppliers vs. Pyramining but I bet its very competitive if not the best cost performance ratio....

If fact, the price performance ratio is a little less than buying BFL.

But you have to consider:

  • No setup
  • No space required for you
  • No electricity cost
  • You don't need to care about anything, just wait

This makes it a good deal, if pyramining can hold his announcement.

Hab mit beiden bitcoin-24 und bitmarket bisher nur guter Erfahrungen gemacht.

bitcoin-24 ist dank sofortüberweisung super, wenn man schnell mal BTC braucht.

Bitmarket, wenn man keine direkte Verbindung in seinen Überweisungen zu BTC haben will.

well I 've got my coins stolen from BITCOINICA... no more trusting... Now I need to make sum new coins.. Huh

You really need that long to came up with the Idea of just stealing the coins?

Wow, not very creative.

Sorry for stalking you, but after reading your older post I'm 100% sure this is either a joke, or a scam.

Come on, think of something more believable and than try again under a different username.

I highly suggest BitPay (and everyone else) rephrase this type of pitch. Do not say "if you would like to start accepting bitcoins for your business", but do say "if you wish to start accepting payments through Bitcoin network..." The difference may be subtle, but it is important. Accepting some new kind of internet coins I've never heard of is not as hot as receiving instantaneous, irreversible USD payments into my bank account (which is what happens in reality).


^^^This!

Many people are not interested in "Nerd money", but if they here: Get irreversible, instant, low fee USD Payments, that sounds interesting.

And once they are hooked, they will find out what bitcoins actually are, completely on their own.


Oh! And really nice advertising video, by the way.

They are starting to get professional.

I know that it's SourceForge,
but that doesn't mean Iranians are not allowed to use Bitcoin, it only means they can not download the Satoshi-Client from SourceForge.

A little difference the authors didn't really care to think about.

I think the Authors didn't even bother to inform them self what Bitcoins is.
3432  Economy / Securities / Re: Banyan Investments OPENING Monday 22/10 (Upto 7%/week) on: October 20, 2012, 01:48:51 PM
In which way does it not sound serious to you?? Please tell me what you are wondering about and I will try to answer.

In the case that this is probably just a pirateat40 parody.

No proof of company. Never said anything about a registered company. It says "group of traders"
But I guess it will be a company in about same manners as most other companies in bitcoin world.

You will have a statement ready on Monday when we start accepting deposits or I would want to call it a contract..
I am setting this up now so those who are interested will have a chance to contribute to making a safe contract for all parties.

Proof of identity? Sure I could do it, but I guess I am risking to get in trouble with some government officials the same way like pirateat40 and GLBSE.. So I am not sure how to solve this problem. Should I also ask proof of identity from my customers?

You don't expect that anyone is giving you money, especially huge amounts (500 BTC!) without exactly knowing who you are and how to reach you, don't you.

Also, answer this one Questin, you could get a Credit at <10% a Year, why do you want to pay up to 7% a Week.

Feeling generous?
3433  Local / Biete / Re: Ich lade euer Handy auf on: October 20, 2012, 01:37:11 PM
Falls das ganze doch legal ist, entschuldige ich mich natürlich. Dann wäre es ein tolles Angebot. (Glaube ich aber leider nicht.)

^^Wie gesagt.

Es gibt hier einfach viele Leute die versuchen das schnelle Geld auf Kosten anderer zu machen.

Vorsicht ist leider geboten. Und ich will dich hier keineswegs angreifen, weil du kein deutscher bist.

Es gibt Leute die trotz mangelnder (oder manchmal sogar gar keiner) Deutschkenntnisse hier Posten um damit mehr Kunden anzuziehen.


Ein paar erfolgreich abgewickelte Geschäfte und die Stimmen verstummen, bis dahin sollte man jeden vor suspekt wirkenden Angeboten warnen.

Hyperinflation pushes Iranians in Bitcoin Investment

Tehran / Hamburg (pte004/20.10.2012/06: 15) - More and more Iranians are investing their money in online currency, as inflation is very high in the country. The Iranian government has websites for online currency exchange, as Mesghal.com or Mazanex.com are prohibited. Some airlines have reduced joining to Tehran due to the unstable Iranian Rial currency. Also, the large transport company Maersk had to stop shipping to all Iranian ports. Bitcoins have been part of the U.S. The Iranians also denied.

Not a good investment

Iranian citizens 20 months has been the use of Bitcoins, when they can convert their real money in digital money and what they may to some extent protects against inflation, prohibited. This embargo was not from Iran, but from the U.S. U.S. WWII SourceForge.net, the host of Bitcoin.

"I think that the citizens while prohibiting the use of Bitcoins, but it can not prevent the long run," said the Hamburg IT security expert Linus Neumann http://linus-neumann.de against pressetext. However, he would advise anyone that you allocate your money in Bitcoin, to begin to protect against inflation. Because the money was subject to strong digital speculation and is a very unsafe investment. "People should invest their money in other areas," said Neumann.

Countries excluded on sanctions list

Bitcoin approved countries that are on the sanctions list of the network, can not access its contents. On this list, Iran can be found. This particular list is related to the transfer and export of certain technology to foreign persons and governments. Some experts suggest to bypass the download using alternative methods, such as virtual private networks.

They seem to have fully understood how Bitcoin works  Roll Eyes

There is something stated in this Google translate article.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=119270.0

If you have questions about specific sections, I can translate them manually.

Basically the BAFIN (German bank regulation) has stated, that service providers, that hold customer funds fall under the definition of a financial services business and therefore require a license to do so.

They also stated that Bitcoin (they stated Crypto Currecys) is indeed a monetary value and therefore falls under the definition of a electronic instrument of payment. That also implies, that BTC service providers fall under the definition of a financial services business.

Nefario, please don't make me regret it.

Sure, I absolutely believe this is a serious offer.  Roll Eyes

But just for the fun of it:

Proof of Identity?

Proof of existence of the company?

Official statement of the company?

There are more speakers than listeners.

LOL

Don't want to talk this down, just something I noticed.

you're joking because that's false

EDIT: Video already posted on a financial blog:
http://neomoney.net/?p=146

No, it is really good attention for BTC, like I said, I don't want to talk it down. But in the beginning of the video it looks like this:

3440  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Nefario on: October 19, 2012, 11:22:06 PM
I've decided to release the October 5th shareholder meeting minutes. I've removed IP addresses and the names of the shareholders that haven't been outed yet. Except for da2ce7, because he supported Nefario right from the beginning. With those exceptions, nothing else was changed.

http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=DRt78Vne

That's really strange. Especially the arguing in the first third.

[joke]The only conclusion that would made sense to that behaviour would be that Nefario was threaten with violence to close GLBSE.

MPOE I'm looking at you[/joke]
