I am offering 10% of all earnings for anyone who can code this idea for me.  but it has to be extremely badass aesthetically.

LOL. Your ideas or domain is not worth 90% of all earnings. You do realize how much competent developers cost, right?

I realize you've only been open 3 days now, but have any loans been made yet? When loans are made, are they going to be private, or public (at least on an address basis)?
It has being open for longer (only started paying interest 3 days ago). - check this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=159359.0
Can you tell us more about yourself? Real name, location, picture, etc? Can you give specific examples of what kinds of things you invest in that would justify 30% yearly interest on bitcoin deposits (which already appreciate at a fairly ridiculous rate on their own)?
Yup, please check out btcinvest's reports on how it earns ~30% yearly (even when 1/3 of the coins were tied up in the Bakewell scam).

Putting money in a bank and buying BTCBONDS isn't going to get you a large return, but actual investing/trading (for example, buy ASICMINER at 0.5 which I did limited by my funds, now 50% >100% return in a few months).

Chips as in individual chips. They'll sell miners like the USB one, in a usable form (not just the chips) for a nicer markup.

Think before you post slander. Noone has even reviewed my method yet so unless you have, you are not the right person to be making judgments.

Lawl, because you are not handling out review copies

Still waiting for my review copy.

Are you not going to send me a review copy because I actually use AdSense and Adwords and will smell bullshit?

It will only have negative effects to you if your product sucks.
5291  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] Earn interest on your bitcoins! CoinLenders pays out interest on deposits. on: April 13, 2013, 03:38:38 PM
Hi Casper,

1. Yup! I already do reports for btcinvest twice every month, and for coinlenders I plan on having reports once a month or so. I am not disclosing my own personal financial information, because, well, it's private.
2. No. When our capital grows bigger a smaller portion of it would be taken up by loans, I'd start funding larger projects & invest on a larger scale, along with lowered interest rates offered.

If it ever gets to a point where I am holding a ridiculous amount of coins then I'd keep pushing the interest rate down so I get to pay less interest and have an amount of funds that I can insure. Smiley

3. Your style of sig looks familiar Wink

I HAVE READ THE "PRODUCT"

IT IS WORTHLESS


Apologies for the giant red text but I don't want anyone to be scammed. It is completely useless and the goal is to get you to give this guy even more money.

Quotes of the product are included here because it is for criticism and I consider it to be fair use.

Pay for an adsense account? (this is against the ToS by the way, enjoy your account getting banned from google once they discover it and ban a few thousand fake accounts), or pay for a guide on fiverr on how to make an adsense account? Seriously? You don't need a guide to do this:

1) set up a website
2) apply for adsense
3) wait for "Congratulations, your AdSense account has been approved to show AdSense ads on your own website. Within a few hours, you will begin to see live ads."

There, a guide. Free feel to send me $5 to 1GLados.

I also love how he goes "You must link to these pages in the footer of your website like so in order to be adsense compliant" (and yes suggests PAYING $5 to add two pages in the footer) when he promotes paying for adsense accounts.. LOL.

In addition, this writer probably have not used adsense at all, "Check your adsense account and view the reports. You'll see traffic and clicks start to pour in, making you money almost instantly" -- um no. Earnings are finalized once a month, and buying traffic isn't going to make you money.

Its like Gox is taking down the whole system.  All the ways to buy, sell, trade.

Screw this people.  Lets give up on the whole exchange idea, and money services crap.  Lets just buy and sell btc at local meetups and in irc.  Then convince our friends and neighbors to buy some from us, get them to sell to their friends and neighbors.  Like a giant crypto chain letter.  Then we get this sucker distributed and we can use it as a workable currency.

And no more fucking SD!
It's not gox. It's bit instant.

Here is a situation though, Satoshidice knows their own secret word ahead of time, thus they can submit bets to themselves as if they are the player, since they can potentially "be" the player and know the secret word ahead of time (since they are really Satoshidice) they can thus submit selective bets and raise the house edge to such a degree that no one of the investors would be getting a cent.

To make sure we are on the same page, you mean that the casino's earnings are not provable to investors due to easy manipulation and knowing secrets ahead of time.  
You would do this by creating a rawtx and checking its result, rinse and repeat until you have the required winning tx and then broadcast it.

This is completely true and something many SDICE. investors do not appreciate, comments were made before that they could simply run bots to attract investors prior to making their IPO.

We also could abuse this by using it to claim progressive jackpots or flooding our log with win statements to make it look more attractive to players. This would require much more work as our jackpots require you to hit a single number on a max bet thus increasing difficulty of 'mining' the correct sized txid.
You could claim progressive bets, but the damage is minimal, because other players will that the progressive jackpot has gone down.

No.  This is a list of bets.  

Why does it say Untrustworthy under your name?

I think if you want to make sure its well back/insured you should give 50% or even 100% of any coins deposited into escrow in the case of a default. By this I mean if 50 users deposit a total of 100coins then you should give escrow 100coins in the case of a defunct.Also I would make sure that the escrows are split up between escrows. Maybe a max of X coins per person.

You could also do something with multikeys and have a privite key generated and signed with multiple keys give to X trusted members on the forum. You keep the names privite and in the case of a defunct that one would start a thread and the other would reveal themselves.
That would limit my trading possibilities, and would overall make me lose a lot of money (if I hadn't sold most of my BTC above $200 to buy back cheaper, for example). I think shares and things that I hold over a long period of time would work better

Update, started getting my interest payments into my account, will wait a few days to test the withdrawal and all that, but so far so good!

There won't be any problems with withdraw, hot pocket has a lot more coins because of loans I issued with my own capital previously Smiley

As of the moment no one has done that yet thus claiming "provable fair" isn't the most noble thing to do, some would even call it lying.

"Fair" means they don't cheat the player.  "Provable" means they can prove it.  There's no lying.

S Dice would have a unique opportunity to cheat their shareholders due to the nature of the Bitcoin network, it all comes down to the greed of the individual I think, Gox could have easily hired professional security guys, rent a CDN, buy a DDOS protecting router for that 3% is it that they pull? Instead they chose to lie to their users like a bunch of teenagers and deny a DDOS ever happened (according to what I've got they have admitted to it in the end), same thing with S Dice and most successful bitcoin casinos, gluttony.

SatoshiDice has all their activity publicly available on the blockchain.  They have less opportunities to cheat their shareholders than any traditional online casino.  It would be trivial for a traditional casino to say "we had a high roller come and win a million dollars from us.  Sorry, no dividends this month".  How would the shareholders argue with that?

Gox and their DDoS has nothing to do with this, not even a little bit.


Here is a situation though, Satoshidice knows their own secret word ahead of time, thus they can submit bets to themselves as if they are the player, since they can potentially "be" the player and know the secret word ahead of time (since they are really Satoshidice) they can thus submit selective bets and raise the house edge to such a degree that no one of the investors would be getting a cent.

In the "real world" there is so much surveillance and protocols that casinos have to follow that claiming a person won a million dollars without it happening would be virtually impossible. Funny that so many people are defending their precious stock yet they fail to see and to point out this simple flaw while claiming some algorithms/blockchain protects them on the low level.

We can now establish who is right in the first argument: Me


Satoshidice claims it is "provably fair" but decides they will not prove that they are fair and so far it hasn't been proven once. Now I do understand your claim that they must not prove that they are fair to really be fair but then it's the argument of religion basically, if I hold my hand behind my back and claim I have a couple of pounds of diamonds in my hand I would be the one making the statement thus I would be the one needing proof (e.g. showing you the diamonds) and not you needing proof of me not having the diamonds in my hand behind my back in order to establish that they really are not there, since I have no initial proof of my statement it is disregarded.

Makes sense? Gox has everything to do with it since both of the companies are ran by teenagers that fail to employ the proper people to do a job they are unqualified to do out of pure greed.

We can now establish who is right in the second argument: Me


Thanks for doing the simulation SRoulette Smiley
Always happy to help Smiley
Anything we can to do reassure players is in ours and the communities best interest.

Interesting that the mainstream will roll with the established website despite the utter stupidity in doing so while such alternatives exist.

WTF?

SatoshiDICE is provably fair for your own games. Provably fair is not a magic bullet - it doesn't suddenly allow you to prove the house isn't making any bets, or that the house isn't cheating their shareholders, but that doesn't mean something is not fair.

And, wow, it's ridiculously easy to prove s.dice is provably fair.. get past secrets, generate random hashes ("txids"), repeat many times.
