Just something weird:

When you got a bot running on background without browser, he just "press" the key to bet.

But, when you are in the chatroom and having a bot betting in the background, the site will always write:
Code:
Keyboard shortcuts are disabled in the 'chat' tab to prevent accidental betting.

Now, when you change to "All bets"( or any other tabs), the site doesn't change the small alert.
Solution: use websockets.

There's a 65535-byte limit. Characters not in [a-zA-Z ] require ~6 bytes with SMF's encoding, including newlines.

There should be some sort of warning if you trigger this.

This seems absolutely ridiculous. UTF-8 has more characters that can be fit into a byte, and all Unicode characters can be encoded in at most 6 bytes. I assume my post is so large then, because of all the numbers, punctuation, and newlines.

Thank you for inserting my post, though.
Remember, you're going into HTML. For example, an ampersand (one byte in UTF-8) must become "&amp;" (5 bytes) or "&#38;" (5 bytes). Newlines are encoded as "<br />" which is 6 bytes.

This is why I never made any iphone apps.  Switch to android!

And earn <10% from what you would make by making the same app for iOS (while optimizing the app to run on all devices often takes more time to do on Android; so more time -> less money).
That's assuming Apple even lets you publish your app. Pertinent example: Bitcoin.

Canonical's going to need to do a lot of promotions of ever-increasing magnitude to hit that goal.

Right.

I'd love to x5 my money as much as the next guy, but maybe you should try asking random strangers on the street for cash before you ask random strangers on the internet for bitcoins.

At least you put slightly more effort into your posts than the typical scammer.
390  Other / Off-topic / Re: If you get caught selling Bitcoin hardware on eBay, Paypal will “sever business" on: July 25, 2013, 07:37:28 PM
I think that is pretty ignorant of PP on their part. All of the sales of BTC and BTC related hardware just bring in more revenue for them via fees and people will find other ways of purchasing them anyway. I wonder why they did that.

Competition.  Paypal is one of the few games around for fairly easy international money moving.  Bitcoin noses in on that market.

I'm just going to leave this here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-1-oz-copper-rounds-999-fine-live-free-die-barter-tokens-/261222158809

...and this: http://stores.ebay.com/fiat-is-dying

Moving pieces of metal internationally doesn't really count as "easy international money moving", nor is it anything that can be called rapid by modern standards, and therefore isn't in competition with payfoe.
You mean PayFee?

Oh, I agree with everything you said. 7% weekly was obviously unsustainable. However, I'd like to quote you here:
I'm sorry but I don't feel the least bit sorry

Was this a ponzi scheme aimed at luring in investors or lenders for a real or fake mining company, or something else? I don't know what his 'company' is.
Grab a beer and start here.

Based on that thread, he sucked in a lot of people that I wouldn't have thought would fall for his BS. But then again, when I first came to this forum theymos had an ad for a Ponzi in his sig line.
Hindsight is 20/20, but I think some people forget how much of a well-orchestrated long con BS&T was. Pirate was one of the top-rated OTC members of all time. Also, look at the start date of that thread—he managed to run it for a long time.

Another thing: if you look at the threads in the lending forum of last year, people were taking out loans denominated in BTC with higher interest than credit card rates. The fact that many loans were made at 2% weekly made 7% weekly seem less crazy (to some) (I think).

A nifty visual representation:

That lead me to a TechDirt article which I must quote here:

Either way, the real irony may be that those who chose not to invest with Shavers and to just hold onto their Bitcoins clearly were better off not just because they still had their Bitcoins, but because the (wildly fluctuating) value of Bitcoins rose even higher than the insane interest promises.

Ironically, investors who had simply bought and held bitcoins during the period the alleged Ponzi scheme was in operation would have made a killing. While one bitcoin was worth about $6.56 on average between September 2011 and September 2012, they were valued Tuesday at $95.30 each.

A first in the Just-Dice community, an account was sold! I "kingofsports" sold my account (#11) to Banker. He bought it for 5 BTC. I am now #50298 sadly but a landmark event indeed, I wonder how much some of the low accounts will go for in the future!

Nope, I was first!

I sold the #1 and #2 to Doog for 0.00000001 BTC

I was offered 3BTC for my #7 earlier today, surprised how valuable Id's are haha. I guess big investors want to scoop up a rare # for themselves.
I guess it's like two-character domain names.

I need a small loan also, to put on the USA -1.5 tonight.  Can repay in BTC or Moneypack.  Looking for like .1

But since I am new, and have little rep, I figured I wouldn't be successful so I haven't asked.  But just throwing it out there.
Why did you post that in this thread?

First impression of this site: very good overall, but the interface reminds me a bit of the control panel on the starship Enterprise --  lots of confusing buttons. It's not immediately clear what they all do, but now that my eyes have adjusted things are making a bit more sense.  Question: is there some way to manually set the client seed?
Hit the randomize button.
