How are you deciding when 24 hours have passed? When the transaction is sent, or when the transaction gets 1 (or X) confirms? What times are you using - the "time" given by a third party service like Blockchain.info, or the block time, etc etc?

Why would I bet anything more than 0.1 BTC again?

How are you going to handle purposefully unconfirming transactions?

Are you running this off a separate wallet?

I'm pretty sure this is copyrighted. A very bad idea especially since you're committing copyright infringement against the FBI.
4784  Economy / Gambling / Re: Probably the best lottery in the world. on: May 02, 2013, 10:23:56 PM
So why would anyone bet anything more than 0.1 BTC?

Think it through, this is the 3rd time you failed.

Because you will anyway get your bets back. Even if it is 10 times higher than the others - I send it back with 90% profit of all the rest bets.
But why would I do that? I won't make any more money, and it increases my losses.
4785  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Would anyone be willing to sell £25 worth of BTC via Paypal? on: May 02, 2013, 10:22:31 PM
Don't do this. It's not worth it. If you really want to, gamble on satoshi dice instead, EV of 0.98 instead of 0.4 or so.
Why not? I really do not understand. Other than a bank transfer, Pingit or Okpay, how am else am I meant to send my money? I want to get into Bitcoin trading, but there isn't a single goddamned payment method which works for me, and it is pissing me off.
Other than bank transfer, pingit, okpay? Heh. PayPal and Credit Cards are easily reversible, that's the problem.

The magic number would be correlated with long term real economic growth rate.  Trying to set the money supply growth constant at 2% is likely closer than setting it to 0% yet it has the same flaw that if your number is lower than the observed monetary demand, you will get deflation, if your number is higher you will have built in inflation.

The fractional reserve system allows banks to react to deviations from equilibrium as numbers are observed

If the algo to set money supply growth rate can take in real values of what is transacted on a regular basis then it would solve the problem completely.  Not sure if this is feasible.

i like the way this sounds

+1
I don't think this is feasible. I could run a script to transfer money from A to B all the time. If you are thinking of "oh, then hard code a case to ignore that", you're thinking in the wrong direction because I'll just transfer from A to [B or C or D] to [A or B or C or D].

You can lock the thread yourself.

You have to get a third party really. Sites like satoshi dice can tell you that your bet was provably fair, but they know the secret - and they can pick transactions that would be winning bets. Same thing here. So you need to rely on an external source.

For example, state lottery numbers, or just a secret from a trusted member.

Alternately, disregard everything and sleep cause nobody will play.

The forum is a shared place, not your own playground to monopolize.

It's a place for services, I'm giving people btc for joining a server. I see no problem here.
You've also posted it in Services, Service Announcements, Gambling, Games and Rounds, Newbies.

Take something like.. a bitcoin stocks exchange, bf/btct.co/mpex/etc. You *could* argue that it belongs in Marketplace, Services, Service Announcements, Securities, Trading Discussion, Newbies (and Scammer Accusations, heh).

Also reported, the forum rule to my knowledge is 1 bump per day across all your topics.
4790  Economy / Gambling / Re: The Simpliest lottery on: May 02, 2013, 10:00:55 PM
It does not, because you could tell - say a friend of yours who have an old bitcointalk account to bet on number X.

Bold words for someone operating a fund that also did lend btc on bitfinex longer ago when there were even fewer security measures in place... Roll Eyes
I didn't know they were using floating point numbers for financial stuff at that time.

Seriously, this is a giant red flag that whoever works on it doesn't know what they are doing.

You do not own any bitcoins. You own bitcoin debt. How you redeem those debt* is based on what kind of BTC debt you have (yes, do you know that "BTC", "USD", "EUR" etc are not even fungible? That's not how a currency is suppose to work).

*If you can redeem them at all, take a look at the list of closed exchanges / "gateways".

+1, junk name. If you want to start up an exchange, you don't get "buybitcoins.com", "buyfeatherco.in", you get something like, mtgox.com, vircurex.com, btc-e.com, hmm?

Good luck losing money!  Cheesy
4799  Economy / Gambling / Re: The Simpliest lottery on: May 02, 2013, 09:37:26 PM
Ok.

Why wouldn't I get random numbers? If anyone does not believe this I can make a video.

On the second quote - fixed.

On the third - this was made to make sure that only known people on the forum will be able to gamble - I mean I will not be able to create fake accounts and cheat.
You don't make a video. Let's do this:

http://www.xorbin.com/tools/sha256-hash-calculator

I have a secret. My secret has a hash of 37ac021f55a15b71fe3756163421509fbaa4a300e7857d44a894a0a363c67c4d

You create a secret (enter something unique into the data box). You post the hash power.

We decide the winner by combining both of our secrets (not the hash, but the actual underlying secret) and getting the first digit from the hash.

Pick a secret. Or not, because this is a silly idea. I bet 100 BTC, others bet a total of 0.05 btc, you're not going to pay me out 300 btc.

2. This is the change address, and the current wallet.dat is very old

Might be the issue, I've been using this wallet for like over half year or even more, any solution how to fix it and recover coins?
By recovering your wallet.dat, silly. Roll Eyes

If you can't, you lost it, sorry.
