Smells like same person talk to each other.
glad to see he repaid the loan, I'm worry he will request a bigger loan some day.

Do you think the lender and the OP are the same person? That would explain why he repaid despite the worthless collateral, as well as the fact that the lender accepted collateral that was very likely going to be worthless in the long run. 

I don't think so.

Watoshi is a willful lender. I know him. I am positive he is not the OP.

Yea you thought that you helped someone, however the risk is still there on your end. It is a tremendous risk for you. Not only that but the sticky in this section says that any sob story is likely going to be a way for a scammer to get you to send him funds. The 0% interest rate certainly does not help you manage that risk, however the fact that it was a USD pegged loan means that you will end up with more bitcoin assuming he does decide to repay you
?

Hi, repayment is almost due.

SInce price went down, you only have to pay 0.5BTC. Smiley

Wycombe - Portsmouth

SURE/SAFE: 80% - 85%
VIP TIPS

So which one is it - wycombe or portsmouth? what is FT?

and there is a ref link attached to it. link is not working though Tongue

I think the match might have already started which is why you get that message. 1 FT is probably 1 unit tobet on.

But it doesn't say which side to bet? Weird.

Thats because when you click the bet link, then it usually sets it all up for you. You are taken to the link, where the match or the winning teaam is already selected, and you just have to post your address and send money to the address alloted to you for gambling .
Click on any other bet link to understand that part .

Good idea by OP. referral is guaranteed. Tongue

Nice tips. The first bet in the previous page tips was a win . Following you now. Will also use your affliate to make you some money .
Also, just one confusion. You have tips which say 84-89% safe, and some which say 85-87% safe .WHich is more safe to bet on ?



idk, probably OP wants us to think it is not the same for all. Just take the average, may be.




I get: Bet is unavailable. Please select another bet.?

Hello,

Here are my designs. I hope you like them, and best of luck to other contestants!

I tried to emulate the design of your logo and site. Hope you like it. Smiley



heres my entry  Smiley



15u8wm16Gbp7MGDf395onTfN2ScjoEAo8G

What bullshit obvious that these 2 designs were copied.

Are you serious? Those 2 designs look NOTHING alike. I can tell just by looking at them that the coding required for each set is vastly different from one another.

He probably thought they were copied, because apparently they used the same font and plain orange for rollin.

I honestly do not think they were copied. (the 2nd guy used glow for all designs? even member and full member ones?)

The former one is a proper submission by a member who has good experience in this and the latter is most likely a first time submission who has no idea of the restrictions in signature.

Do you think anyone will take him with that negative trust?
4851  Economy / Services / Re: [30 BTC Bounty] - Find a mathematical / algorithmical formula on: January 31, 2015, 04:38:54 PM
Should i ignore a as given by ncsupanda. I don't think that ignoring 'a' is right.
Mathematically as long as the "a" value remains constant during each new iteration then the effect it has is constant - it's not unnecessary, it just doesn't need to be evaluated for, so it should be fine to set as any integer and leave it alone.

Also, is this the right formula? If so, A=a?

I think 'a' is an arbitrary constant provided by Evil-Knievel
From the problem description "Being a some constant," I think is meant to be interpreted as
Code:
'a' being some constant


Quote
How often do you have to perform this operation to get a specific x (basically getting the new_x and feeding it back into the formula to get another new_x, and so on)?

that is the exact operation I did. So I was not wrong?

Here's my thinking on the question...


x_0 is always 9
a is an arbitrary constant
G is the end goal, also an arbitrary number chosen by Evil-Knievel
_i is the number of steps through the recursive function you must take to reach G

Evil-Knievel is looking for a way to solve '_i' provided any 'a' and any 'G'


EDIT: That's not just standard division, it's as he mentioned using inverse modular multiplication, but visually it's depicted as division.

I think you are right. thanks for clarifying it. Smiley

Did someone solve the problem and get the bounty? What was that mathematical formula for? I heard evil wants to crack bitcoin. This formula is useful for cracking bitcoin?

I also get an impression that, each one has multiple solutions? which probably explains

You can start multiple such chains beginning at x=9, and add the resulting x values ?
4854  Economy / Services / Re: [30 BTC Bounty] - Find a mathematical / algorithmical formula on: January 31, 2015, 02:46:36 PM
Was just reading more on the Montgomery curve under the arithmetic section, I think we are safe to "ignore" z, him saying z=1 allows us to say X=x and that's all we need the z for.


Code:
A point P=(x,y) on the elliptic curve in the Montgomery form By^2 = x^3 + Ax^2 + x can be represented in Montgomery coordinates P=(X:Z), where P=(X:Z) are projective coordinates and x=X/Z for Z!=0

yes, that seems a reasonable interpretation.

Should i ignore a as given by ncsupanda. I don't think that ignoring 'a' is right.
Mathematically as long as the "a" value remains constant during each new iteration then the effect it has is constant - it's not unnecessary, it just doesn't need to be evaluated for, so it should be fine to set as any integer and leave it alone.

As got the results you got, I don't think you are substituting the equation back into itself for each new x value, I think you are just increasing x by 1 and then repeating the calculation. What you want to be doing is leaving x constant (in this case 9) and then reevaluating each iteration until your new x value matches the next incremented integer value of x (in this case 10).

If I've misunderstood anything, feel free to correct me. That's just how I understand it.

Also, is this the right formula? If so, A=a?
4855  Economy / Services / Re: [30 BTC Bounty] - Find a mathematical / algorithmical formula on: January 31, 2015, 02:27:33 PM
No, I am substituting the equation back into itself. Please check if I was wrong.

Are you using standard division where the / is or are you using "multiplication by the modular inverse"
http://cs.brown.edu/courses/cs007/modmult/node2.html


Should we be knowing what 'p' is or is this another arbitrary number like 'a'?
(basically all operations modulo some sumber p)

lol, sorry, I did a mistake. I simply substituted the equation back in after each process. I skipped adding it.

understood the question better now. But still have things unclear.

You can start multiple such chains beginning at x=9, and add the resulting x values
using the addition algorithm from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_curve (Montgomery arithmetic section).
Note, that the x value, is the value you get at the end of such calculation-chain, and the z value is always 1.

what is meant by multiple chains? aand where is this 'z'?

and is this the reqd formula?
4856  Economy / Services / Re: [30 BTC Bounty] - Find a mathematical / algorithmical formula on: January 31, 2015, 12:13:43 PM
Evil-Knievel is this algorithm related to your project over at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=929196.0 ?

I was looking at curve25519 and notice that it's starting parameter is x=9


I read that, but what is 'a' exactly? If it is an unknown constant, then how will I find when the said result will occur. Is it 1? Or does the value of a has no impact on the result (but it certainly does)? Or on calculation the value of 'a' will be given?

I think I did not understand the question properly. Huh

That I cannot answer. I'm currently doing some reading on the curves and trying to see what I can get out of it. (so far not much Wink)

But I know nothing about coding. I am trying kind of mathematically. It is okay, right?

Hereby I am offering a bounty of 30 BTC
to the first one solving the following mathematical problem either mathematically or using an algorithm:

I just need OP to tell me whether the results I got are correct or not to proceed any further. I want to be sure whether I am in the correct understanding of it or not.




Thanks for the link. Now i think 'a' is a value input by the user.

Double digits won't happen, there are way to many people waiting to buy at such price level.

Market is very unsure, really good news gets very low support while the coinbase news gets Bitcoin from  ~$160 to over $300 in just a short time while it was nothing new and exciting.


It's possible and we and the miners will be in big trouble if it happens, but I don't think it will go that low. I'm hoping for a series of good news that will send the price going the other way and I think we'll get some this year but the question is how long do with have to wait?

Just more miners dropping out. This is good for me, as I am a small scale cloud hasher.

Double digit is not possible. Even a 150 will make a lot of people put tons of money in. the resistance is strong.

$3000+ in the least. Smiley
4860  Economy / Speculation / Re: Long-term discussion on Bitcoin's price trend on: January 31, 2015, 11:49:25 AM
Bitcoin just needs a push. Once it crosses the barrier, to say $400 decently, it can only go up and up for a few months.

I personally expect the bull run to begin in under 7 days. Till then it will just go sideways, the straight up, little down and then a lot up..
