How many decimal places is used in the database for "invested" and "profit" ?

If it's 8 decimal places, is 0.00000021643 in profit on a bet rounded up to 0.00000022 or down to 0.00000021?
463  Economy / Securities / Re: [POLL] Just-Dice INVESTORS: Do you agree with lowering the max bet? on: September 25, 2013, 09:55:39 PM
What stops a big investor with 10,000 coins taking their risk to 5% when small fish are playing. Then when whales play, their bot automatically drops the risk to 0.25%, diluting investors like mechs.?

So large investors with a bot that actively manages the risk will fuck smaller investors?

Either way, I think if the max bet is constantly changing so drastically, then whales won't play.

It can be done this way...

Let's say you invest 100 BTC and I 200 BTC. You have 0.25% risk and I 1% risk. Maximum profit will then be 2.25 BTC.

When someone makes a bet with a potential profit of 0.3 BTC. We both risk 0.1%.
When someone makes a bet with a potential profit of 0.6 BTC. We both risk 0.2%.
When someone makes a bet with a potential profit of 1 BTC. You risk 0.25% and I risk 0.375%.
When someone makes a bet with a potential profit of 2.25 BTC. You risk 0.25% and I risk 1%.

Everybody will benefit from the small players, and investors with big risk will benefit extra from the big players. Big investors have no reason to increase the risk only when small fish play because it don't increase their profit.

Where did all this talk about SecondMarket come from all the sudden.

Max Keiser. I'm excited. Hoping for a Bitcoin ETF  Cheesy

I hope so, obviously.  May just be news about coinsetter?


I don't think Coinsetter is "big, big news". They stated yesterday that the launch for international customers is a few weeks away.

I am invited to join a panel discussion with local managing directors of MasterCard and Visa at a high profile Finance IT forum on 19. September.

Please feed me any arguments and facts with links you think would be helpful to make Bitcoin shine in comparison. Thanks in advance.

Please let us know how it went today.

Seems to me like the amount of value being traded has, when you take into account prices, increased. I mean 50k coins at $10 each is less then 5k at $130.
Which is already reflected in the higher price. IMO BTC volume is the appropriate indicator.
This.

Poor Gox.  Smiley

The total BTC volume on the exchanges will become lower and lower if Bitcoin succeeds. Less BTC traded for FIAT = Good for Bitcoin.

473  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Posting in comments on Internet to boost Bitcoin awareness and raise price? on: September 14, 2013, 06:35:24 PM
Lately I have been posting comments about Bitcoin on news sites.  My latest was after this article:  http://money.msn.com/top-stocks/7-signs-of-the-next-financial-crisis

I basically let people know that this was a reason why we should be buying Bitcoin.  With the economic uncertainty in the world today Bitcoin is a really smart thing to buy!

What do you think?  Could this increase awareness and cause more people to investigate and purchase bitcoin?  If we all posted more in the comments sections in articles like these we could probably have a great influence on the price I would think.



That's how I discovered Bitcoin in May last year. I'm very thankful to whoever posted that comment Smiley

Hitting a 6 month high might pull some coins out of a few pockets anyway.

I agree. But I don't think this bubble will pop before $500.

Careful guys, ask sum is going to be under 40,000 soon. This is when those who are trying to call top get itchy fingers. Price can make leaps upward, but it will be very very hard to sell at top. Trust me. crash incoming

So, since I bought in at $143.39 - should I sell out again, and wait for the crash?

I'm saying it has potential to rocket up because of steep ask depth. But lots of others will try to call the top, bid depth won't be there...

The crash isn't coming because it's under 40k BTC for sale. That's when the fun start. The crash will come when the price has gone too high too fast. We're not there yet.

Since this has become the catch-all thread I'll just leave this here.

Reasons for concern. Bruce Schneier has written that he has seen a bunch of secret Snowden documents, and after seeing them, he recommends classical integer discrete log-based cryptosystems over elliptic curve cryptography. When asked to elaborate on why he thinks we should avoid elliptic-curve cryptography, he writes:

I no longer trust the constants. I believe the NSA has manipulated them through their relationships with industry.
