I meant uploading is free, but then you need to pay the transaction fees to have it embedded in the blockchain. Is it misleading?
Can you adapt your system to allow me to embed arbitrary data? I'm happy to pay a bitcoin or so to know that an encrypted copy of my wallet is in the blockchain.

inb4 #bitcoin-dev catches this.

I can't take websites that use the default bootstrap seriously.
What about sites that uses the default SMF theme? Or how about no styles?

Please don't judge it by the cover. Design has never bring a priority of coinlenders however.

New people have no business starting "funds". Not now, not ever.

This is a high trust, high competence field. Only people who have been involved in Bitcoin for a long time and with credible results may do this. Anyone else trying to do this 1. won't get anywhere; 2. is a scammer anyway. Whether they plan to or not they're a scammer, it makes no difference. They'll just have a more or less planned out scam, but it will be a scam.

And before you start with the "I've been involved since 2005" Tortilla stuff: no, you haven't. You're not involved now. To be involved you have to actually do something. People using the word "Bitcoin" in conversation aren't involved in Bitcoin, they're involved in conversing.

With all due respect, this sounds like a rant and is nonsense.

If everyone had the same attitude as this, Bitcoin would never have risen to the place it is now. Simply labeling everything as "won't go anywhere, won't work, waste of time" is a pretty terrible position to have for an innovative, emerging technology.

they did the same to me with my company's High Frequency Algorithm Fund, just thought I'd give you a heads up. I had to drastically scale back the size of the proposed offering but this greatly shifted the cost benefit analysis to the point where this market is simply not mature enough for it.

I made the same observations as you as there is literally no way to not be defensive when you are trying to actually get something done, but it won't help, thats all I'm trying to say

Let me quote this from you:

Quote
Okay I was able to look those two funds up.

Jokerdragon's seems to have been running for a year, the screenshots on the blog sites are interesting because some people wanted to see something similar from this offering.

Exchange.ESIF's thread pretty much has the exact same scrutiny as mine, except all by you.

The fact that you're not aware of competing offerings until people mentioned it nor how they are all scammy as fuck should tell you why you should not be doing a "High Frequency Trading Algorithm ETF IPO".

But since this pass through has over 15,000 shares, does that mean it will receive 3 of those mining boards?
I can answer this part: no. Only 1.

Ah, sorry, looked a bit similar Smiley

I wouldn't call your site very usable through. There's no dead zone between your "contact me buttons", and you can't click on "what I do" or "what I've done"

And I'd like to think people would want to see your work first before contacting you, not the other way around.

Today I goto PrimeDice and saw that the Free BTC is gone. moderators pls remove Free BTC from topic.

I'm sure Stunna will Tongue Doubt you need a mod to.

Oh god, we have someone pissed that they can't get 0.0001 (or run a usercript that automates it)

Outdated


This isn't provably fair actually. You know the secret, and you know exactly what number you can get.

Simple solution would be this: I have my own secret, the hash of it is 489a19950641ae5762a5818611db72e83d30813e44e899e944b0d3f0d2e2dfa0

We join the secrets together when calculating.

This way, we can't cheat without both of us collaborating.

Sounds good? Also, this statement isn't really true:

Quote
This is a raffle style lottery. Therefore, the odds of winning scale with the jackpot size compared to ticket price. No matter how small or big the jackpot, the price of each ticket, is a good deal. Up to 100% of tickets sales go to the winner/s.

The jackpot is not linear with the amount of tickets.[/s]

Seriously no one here is going to trust a newbie with 9-10 posts, the btc scams abound.
But since you are claiming investment knowledge tell me what you think of Satoshi Dice stocks atm?


Satoshi is not on my buy list. The problem with them is that when bitcoins appreciate in value, the bet turnover drops lower. This is because people are in the mindset of USD when part-taking in gambling activities. This means that Satoshi revenue growth will continue to be stunted and hamstrung by a rising bitcoin value. This is the opposite of a company like say, ASICMINER, which see high revenue growth on the back of higher bitcoin values.

Also, the entertainment value of their gambling systems are lacking.

Thanks, this shows nicely you haven't a clue and prefer impressions over data. Satoshidice dividends don't show any correlation to bitcoin value so far, despite btc went up over 5x since IPO.

And ASICMINER revenue depends much more on difficulty and sustained technological lead than bitcoin value - that correlation may be even negative. Because if bitcoin rises, more people restart mining on older hardware or botnets.
The value of SDICE has shown some correlation to bitcoin value.
4075  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: PSA: 'Bitcoins' in Ripple are not Bitcoins. They are not real, can be seized. on: May 22, 2013, 08:55:49 AM
I have to say you are a retard if you keep your bitcoins in a third party service instead of a private key.
From your signature:
http://coinlenders.com/
https://bitfunder.com/
http://coinchat.org/
https://bitmillions.com/


All these services only issue IOUs, never pay directly to your private key (thankfully, otherwise there would be a lot of bitdust and spam in the block chain).

I can and did choose how much I am willing to risk with Bitstamp as you can do implicitly by allowing to let your balances on these services grow to a certain amount before you withdraw. You just have a bit more manual work and less control over the amount of debt you are allowing these services to have towards you (e.g. with Ripple you could limit your exposure towards Bitfunder to 5 BTC max., everything above that gets converted to some other IOUs, with Bitfunder currently you have to take as much debt as they give you).

BitMillions pays out directly to your address.

 Roll Eyes

There's an obvious difference from changing for chips in a casino to use on the service, and keeping your balance in casino chips across the world.

What the fuck do you mean "Bitfunder currently you have to take as much debt as they give you"? They can give me 10000 BTC if they want, if they do then there's zero chance for it to be honored. My Bitfunder IOU does not randomly get exchanged for payb.tc IOUs unlike in Ripple (if I trust them both).

Whereas with Bitstamp, if they gave everyone BTC up to their trust limit, then same thing, there is zero chance for it to be honored. So in either case you just lost all your coins beyond the amount that people is willing to pay for Pirate/Bitcoin24/Bitcoinica/whatever debt (aka nothing).
4076  Other / Meta / Re: Ripple trying to take over the Bitcoin Discussion thread on: May 22, 2013, 08:54:01 AM
There's a tendency for every Ripple related thread to turn into discussions about Ripple. It's certainly not very productive.
4077  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: The True Explanation of Ripple for Bitcoiners on: May 22, 2013, 08:45:54 AM
For example, there are differences in withdrawal limits that are not reflected in the Ripple system.
They are not exposed in the current clients, they are very much reflected and built into the design of the Ripple system.

https://ripple.com/wiki/Contracts (<-- most general solution)
https://ripple.com/wiki/Gateway_policies
https://ripple.com/wiki/Authorized_accounts
...and a few more.

It's perfectly possible to restrict all holders of a certain IOU to max. 1000 USD per anonymous account for example and to offer registered/authenticated accounts with higher limits similar to MtGox.

You wouldn't (actually shouldn't) trust a gateway that you cannot use - if you don't have a Dwolla account, don't trust gateways that only allow withdrawal via Dwolla. You might have a Paypal account though and somebody else might have both types of accounts, so there is likely a pathway from Dwolla to Paypal in the system that will be used.

http://lyle.smu.edu/~tylerm/fc13.pdf

Page 3. I will laugh at you with ripple gateways shut down, and I am confident that Bitstamp will be shut down within the next year because they offer bearer instruments due to the use of ripple. Hence why no legitimate exchange that will last will use Ripple because that's illegal.

Good points in above two posts ^

But in Ripple there is so much more transparency then in the current banking system. Isn't it a whole new ballgame when we can see what's going on?
I send you 100 ripple-BTC. Can you tell if I really have the 100 BTC?

If they are issued by you I don't accept them, if they are issued by Bitstamp I do. You will either have to find someone who trades your own BTC (or any other of the currencies in your account) to BitstampBTC directly or via a path or you won't be able to send me any. If there is a path I don't care if you have 100 BTC, 1 BTC or 1 million BTC - I only care that Bitstamp will pay me upon request as these will be the only BTC I can receive.

To receive 100 BTC issued by you, I have to trust you for that amount and I won't do that.

Feel free to send me 1 10 BTC on Ripple right now, my address is in the giveaway thread.
LOL I can't wait in a couple of months till Bitstamp shuts down ala Bitcoin24, Bitcoinica, BitcoinMarket, Bitmarket.eu, Aqoin, ExchangeBitCoins.com, Bitcoin7, TradeHill, btcex.com, Crypto X Change ..

I have to say you are a retard if you keep your bitcoins in a third party service instead of a private key.
