Why you post your account (THIS in title as in bitbite111 )? You know that it will be tagged as sold? What's wrong in selling openly? He doesn't have positive trust, is not enrolled in any sig campaign and is a low rank, so I don't see what would be the point of tagging it. No but now he has negative trust You don't reveal that kind of information when selling an account. That is obvious. He got neutral tag. Negative is retaliation for the trust rating the OP left KWH. Neutral tag shouldn't really be a problem for the buyer if he's intentions for buying account were genuine.

Bitcoin industry 'sceptical' of Satoshi identity claim http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36185622Members of the Bitcoin community remain sceptical about Craig Wright's claim to be the mysterious creator of the digital currency. At the Consensus 2016 conference in New York, attendees told the BBC they wanted to see more proof before they would be ready to believe the claims. Mr Wright spoke to the BBC claiming he created the crypto-currency. Gavin Andresen, chief scientist at the Bitcoin Foundation, has confirmed the claim. Noisy method Mr Andresen said he travelled to London to meet Mr Wright who showed him proof that he and Satoshi Nakamoto - the pseudonym adopted by Bitcoin's creator - were one and the same. "He signed in my presence using the private key from block one, the very first mined Bitcoin block, on a computer that I am convinced had not been tampered with," he said. ...

... A bankroll of 10 btc sounds small but it is currently not too bad with most investors having a 10x Kelly setting. It would be a lot worse when Safedice decides to lower max Kelly and max win %.
They already reduced it. Max kelly setting is currently x2. And that was a good move imo.

What I can't believe is even the BBC is hopping on the fucking bandwagon, just goes to show you how little these news journalists know about Bitcoin.
I'm not surprised at all. Remember Dorian Nakamoto? Pretty much every major news site jumped on it despite zero evidence and DN himself denying it.

even it is true or not, it is again publicity for bitcoin, which is always good:P
Not always. If the story is true, that would mean that he holds around 1 mil of bitcoins, many considered those coins are 'lost'. If general public believes he's indeed SN, then he could crash the price just by saying (at any point) that he's considering selling all of his holding. Even if he never says that, the potential of him doing so have a very strong, negative impact on the price. Edit: BTC down to $440, ETH on the rise.

Craig Wright claims he is the enigmatic Bitcoin inventorhttp://www.theverge.com/2016/5/2/11564324/satoshi-nakamoto-identity-bitcoin-creator-claimCraig Wright, the man already suspected of being the inventor of Bitcoin, has today come out and publicly claimed that he is indeed responsible for the cryptocurrency. The BBC reports that Wright "has provided technical proof to back up his claim using coins known to be owned by Bitcoin's creator" and that prominent Bitcoin community members have also corroborated his claim. Beside the mystery of how Bitcoin actually works, the biggest puzzle around the digital currency was its origination, long attributed to the name of "Satoshi Nakamoto." Wright has now confessed that was his pseudonym, revealing his true identity in what he says is an effort to restore the privacy of the people around him. ...

Australian Craig Wright says he is bitcoin creator - BBChttp://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-australia-bitcoin-idUKKCN0XT0H7Australian tech entrepreneur Craig Wright has told the BBC he was the creator of controversial digital currency bitcoin after years of speculation about a person who until now has gone by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto.
The BBC reported on Monday that Wright gave some technical proof demonstrating that he had access to blocks of bitcoins known to have been created by bitcoin's creator.
But he declined requests from The Economist to provide further proof that he was Nakamoto.
"Our conclusion is that Mr Wright could well be Mr Nakamoto, but that important questions remain," The Economist said. "Indeed, it may never be possible to establish beyond reasonable doubt who really created bitcoin." ...

Bitcoin founder reveals identityhttp://www.skynews.com.au/tech/technews/2016/05/02/bitcoin-founder-reveals-identity.htmlAn Australian entrepreneur Craig Wright has publicly claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin.
The 45-year-old has sought to verify his claims through providing technical evidence such as private keys that are only in possession of the Bitcoin owner.
Prominent members in the Bitcoin community have backed up Mr Wrights' claims.
In a blog post published on Monday, Bitcoin Foundation director and economist Jon Matonis said 'the proof is conclusive and I have no doubt that Craig
Steven Wright is the person behind Bitcoin technology, Nakamoto consensus, and the Satoshi Nakamoto name.
While prominent Bitcoin members are swayed others remain sceptical of Mr Wright's claim. ...

Revealed, Craig Wright IS the creator of Bitcoin: Entrepreneur publicly outs himself as the brains behind the cryptocurrencyhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3569077/Revealed-Craig-Wright-creator-Bitcoin-Entrepreneur-publicly-outs-brains-cryptocurrency.htmlAfter years of speculation and rumours, Australian entrepreneur Craig Wright has officially announced he is the Bitcoin creator.
Dr Wright was unofficially named as the founder in a report released at the end of last year and the 45-year-old has now outed himself publicly for the first time.
He is also said to have provided 'technical proof' to back up last year's claims, which many believed at the time were an elaborate hoax.
Dr Wright was named in two reports in December 2015 following investigations by Wired and Gizmodo.
The report features posts on Dr Wright's blog - which was deleted after the report was published - that declared his intent to launch a 'cryptocurrency paper' in 2008.
In another post from 10 January 2009, Wright announced the launch of bitcoin 'tomorrow' - which would have been published in Australian time before the 3pm launch on 9 January in American time. ...

Craig Wright reveals himself as Satoshi Nakamotohttp://www.economist.com/news/business-and-finance/21698060-craig-wright-reveals-himself-as-satoshi-nakamotoFIVE months after Craig Steven Wright, an Australian computer scientist and businessman, was outed against his will as Satoshi Nakamoto, he says he is indeed the creator of bitcoin. On May 2nd he published a blog post offering cryptographic proof, backed up by other information, to make his case. Along with two other media organisations, The Economist had access to Mr Wright before the publication of his post. Our conclusion is that he could well be Mr Nakamoto, but that nagging questions remain. In fact, it may never be possible to prove beyond reasonable doubt who really created bitcoin. Whether people, particularly bitcoin cognoscenti, actually believe Mr Wright will depend greatly on what he does next, after going public.
In December, after he was outed, Mr Wright stayed silent. So why has he now changed his mind? “I’m not seeking publicity, but want to set the record straight,” he explains. He says he called himself “Nakamoto” after a 17th-century Japanese philosopher and merchant, Tominaga Nakamoto, who was highly critical of the normative thought of his time and favoured free trade. (He doesn’t want to say why he picked “Satoshi”: “Some things should remain secret.”) ...

Australian Craig Wright claims he is bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/may/02/craig-wright-bitcoin-founder-satoshi-nakamoto-claimAustralian entrepreneur Craig Wright has identified himself as Satoshi Nakamato, the pseudonymous creator of the digital currency bitcoin.
Wright, who was named as the cryptocurrency’s founder by two separate media investigations in December, made the admission in a blog post on Monday, providing what he says is technical proof of his claim.
He also provided evidence to the BBC, reportedly including the use of cryptographic keys linked to the same blocks of bitcoin Nakamoto sent another developer, Hal Finney, in the currency’s first transaction in 2009. ...

If they only had the knowledge to differ a valid from an unvalid key. I think it is enough for them when one fiddles around with the keyboard and have some "KEY ACCEPTED" message coming up to have them convinced. ...
Exactly what I thought. I have a mental image of big, green "Satoshi Nakamoto confirmed" flashing on the monitor in front of reporters. If he wants to reveal himself as SN, why not doing it right. Right now it just adds to the speculation, not ending it.

That's big if it's true. I don't get why would he prove it to BBC, Economist and GQ but not publicly, it doesn't end any speculation. "I really do not want to be the public face of anything," he said, expressing regret that he had been forced to reveal his identity. Forced by who/what?

Zeby waluta byla dochodowa potrzebujesz czegos wiecej niz parametrow. Potrzebujesz ludzi ktorzy bede chcieli to kupic (do tego chociaz jednej strony exchange ktora doda twoja walute). Nikt nie kupi kolejnego altcoina ktory nawet nie probuje wniesc niczego nowego. Te czasy sie juz raczej skonczyly.

Bitcoin didn't break into mainstream back then, and its value was around $12, so looking at the 2012 halving to predict what will happen after the upcoming one is probably pointless.

... For what it's worth: the max HE and max kelly are both lowered now.
Yup. Risk settings are now x0.5; x1; and x2. @OP, you may want to update FAQs. The "What is the adjustable Risk Level?" still says: "Investors also have the possibility to set an individual kelly criterion (range 0.5x - 10x)..." But I don't see how max HE is lowered? Entering high bet amounts or payouts shows HE going up to 100%. Also, NLNico - on your website max profit for SD says 1.8 btc, while on SD site it shows "Max Win: 4.7161"
