That would be an interesting take on this type of auction. Unfortunately consumer rights being what they are (and rightly so), we're only open to auctioning brand new goods direct from the retailers.

Perfectly valid concerns. I don't expect you to trust me and so I have put my money where my mouth is. So for your account you're using my money that I seeded your account with. If you win, it will be with my money (I don't expect bitcointalk users to trust us at all, ergo the reason I am giving trusted users free BTC). Note that you can't bid for an item if you don't have the funds to pay for it, so you shouldn't have to deposit any more of your own funds should you win.

It makes sense to keep seeing the same users, we only have a very small user base (around 50 now) and they are mostly using the sniper feature (for automatic bidding). At the end of the day a brand new Xbox One for less than 50% of the price is still a damn good deal, regardless of whether or not you already own one, I guess that's why previous winners feel the need to bid for the same item again.

Lmao this cracked me up, great work op

I was wondering , how can we get our names added their ? Staff should approve ? Rank required ? 

Hi,

Somebody once said to me "smart contracts are like high school sex, very few have actually done them..." and I realized that the moment one steps out of our little nice bubble, even the very term "smart contracts" raises eyebrows. (Heck, even inside the bubble, while people generally know what it is about and what it is for, very few have actually engaged in those types of transactions.)

This was one of the reasons why earlier this year I've started a new company, Trustatom. The idea was to build ready-to-use, highly specific smart contracts and market them across different markets. We've started with document certificates (an improved version of proof of possession) and joint escrows (escrows without a third party). Some interesting announcements are in the pipeline.

The product is still in its early beta (and certainly has some rough edges, some of which are already known and some are yet to be discovered , and I wanted to give the bitcointalk community the opportunity to help shaping the product that's being marketed to users primarily outside of the core Bitcoin community. Any feedback is really welcome!

You can sign up and try it out at https://trustatom.com

Cheers,

How long have you mined with them?

Additional details on the PSU?  Model?  How long has it been used and was it running at full load?

No. I've always hated when someone asks for an app in a specific platform, and the answer is “Buy another phone”. I don't want another phone. If I wanted another phone, I would have bought it in the first place.

I closely monitored the price of silver on secondstrade in comparison to a popular binary options platform and the prices always moved in tandem with never more than a 1 cent difference. I saw very similar results for currencies.

In any case, if you catch a significant discrepancy which you believe evidences manipulation, then any good broker will gladly refund your investment. Secondstrade appears to be a good broker because they are willing to risk money for their 195% promotion. I wish I could say the same about all binary option brokers!

Today, a broker called me to walk through a demo of a popular binary options platform; they did manipulate the data to show that I was winning certain trades when it was clearly impossible. I was shocked! In my experience, it is important to watch out for manipulation in a demo format, but manipulation in a real trade, if discovered, will certainly destroy the broker's reputation, so it is unlikely that you will find it.

Hence, if you have an allegation of manipulation, it is your responsibility to prove it. A broker who is manipulating a data feed is not doing him/herself any favors at all, especially when the maximum bet is a mere $40 at present rates.
A trader who discovers manipulation could easily take advantage of it, and also ruin the broker's reputation.

By the way, all the major bitcoin exchange prices can be found in one place here:

This page might give more accurate results, especially at night when the market is slow.

above  is showing  that we  compared to bitcoinWisdom and our data.
our formula is (bitstamp+bitfinex+(2/6.13)*huobi) / 4

bitcoinwisdom data  : bitstamp = 396.99, bitfinex= 398, huobi = 2409
 (396.99 +  398 + 2409 *2/6.13) / 4 = 395.2401590538336.

our data = 394.93. (it is rounded third decimal position)

so, these data is not equal.

but this difference is reasonable and there is such a difference at the other sites, too.
i have tested the other site right now.

which is  because a way that each sites get from each exchanges is different.
we think that public API given each exchanges may be different with those of bitcoinwisdom and time interval getting data from exchanges may be different and etc.


say again, we are not  manipulate. and we need not to manipulate.

if we want to make the money, we have only to raise the  rewards. but we have not
our rewards is higher than other sites.
we want only to  find the reasonable rewards rate.

I published formulra. i dont know that  you  need  to  our  source  code   to  auto adjuest  yuan exchange rate. we  are try to  find  the website that  give api of the  rate .
source code  just is what we are program the  formula.
if  you want to  publish  even the sourcce code,  we discuss  with  staffs.
