How did you find this patent? Was it mentioned in any news? Quick google search on this guy returned this: http://wallethub.com/profile/RichardRayCrites/Richard Crites is an insurance agent operating out of Clearwater, FL.
Other Names Used: Richard Crites, Richard R Crites Don't know what is this about, but looks like he just saw the idea of P2P marketplaces and decided to patent it as his own invention. I don't see how he intends to make any money on that. Just another case of patent trolling? |

It looks like you have put a bitcoin address into the 'Label' field on the send screen and then a different one in the Address field.
...
If that was the case, then he most likely sent to the previously used address (the last address used is shown in the address bar by default) |

When I pick payout 2x it says 49.75% chance to win. that would mean you have only 0.25 edge, or this is a visual error from your side?
Nope. It's correct: You have 49.75% chance, so the house has 50.25% (100% - 49.75% = 50.25%), then: 50.25% - 49.75% = 0.5% (house edge) |

Statistically, 65% of the common people doesn't know anything about Bitcoin, its concept, and its whole aspects. This report was according to The Guardian and Cointelegraph. So, in other words more than half of the people around you doesn't know anything about bitcoin, the transactions to be made with it or how to use it. Am I the only one who thinks it's actually a good news. That means there's still plenty of room to grow. The far worse news would be if 100% people knew what Bitcoin is and how it works. That would mean that the number of users is close to the maximum and whoever was interested, already got on-board. And I'm sure that more than 90% people have never heard of bitcoin, if we take into account the entire world population. |

what is Preloaded Link use for ?
i allready read it but cannot understand
It's a sort of voucher, you can create preloaded link (say with 0.01 credit) and send it to someone, then when they click it, it'll create a new account with specified credit in the balance (ie 0.01). Such link is also your referral link and that's its main purpose (to get more players referred, they have an incentive to sign up). |

60% is pro, according to the polls, and yet the minority complains about gavin not caring about the userbase?
can someone please just send these idiots to another planet?
only 20% is anti the rest dont even know enough to vote one way or the other so the argument could be made that 80%+ will be in favour when they learn more about how important this is If you ignore 'agnostics' and 'DGAFs' you'll get: 202 pro 74% 71 anti 26% But let's not pretend this poll is a solid indicator of anything. The vast majority of users is probably not aware of technical details and implications. |

The limit increase permits a much healthier outcome for the Bitcoin network and ecosystem.
Today is the limit increase, what will be tomorrow? Are people really wanting to go all in and bet all the todays consensus on the hard-fork? If you read Gavin post about the need for hard-fork, its a totally fear-based move with arguments Bitcoin will be replaced by Altcoins, this means its a matter of time until another need for a hard-fork happen and next time it wont be as trivial need as just increase block-size. I predict next hard-fork will want to increase the number of coins. So no arguments against, just anti-fork by the rule? If I'm not mistaken, bitcoin has already been forked twice (2013 and 2010?). Are you sure you're on the very first fork? The last fork was needed the old chain had a really bad bug so bad that no one wanted to use it and it died. This time both chains would be functional. Thanks. Point is, since there were forks in the past (for whatever reason) no one can really use "anti-fork by principle" or "if it's forked - it's no longer Bitcoin" arguments. Unless you're on original (dead) fork, then yes you can. |

edit: The best the defense came up with was along the lines of "you can't trust digital evidence, because hackers", going as far as implying that DPR having a BitTorrent client running was opening his machine up to be hacked and evidence to be planted.
source? So, I guess he will be in jail for the rest of his life, correct?
No one knows yet, he's yet to be sentenced. "Ulbricht's arrest and conviction -- and our seizure of millions of dollars of Silk Road bitcoins -- should send a clear message to anyone else attempting to operate an online criminal enterprise," read a statement from U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. "The supposed anonymity of the dark web is not a protective shield from arrest and prosecution." Cool, this means we don't need any special regulations and anti-anonymity laws? Right? Btw, can he still appeal? |

how much on average and how often do you give tips for players? also do you have to chat a lot to get it?
as long as there are 3 different talking at a given time, then the tip will go every few minutes. Yes, but providing that seuntjie bot is up and it has some funds in its balance. IIRC it activates 10 minutes after there are 3 active chatters. Damn, that's an ugly streak. My personal "best" in martingale is 17 losses in a row (on Doge-dice). |

Oh! boy this is good I wish i'd be someone reputable enough to be called there someday  Well, you can always organise your own secret-yet-publically-announced meeting and invite/don't invite whoever you want. No need to wait to be "reputable enough" (whatever that means). |

The value of bitcoin is also diminishing. if Bitcoin doesnt become mainstream and stable it will be useless. [/quote] How do you define 'mainstream'? What if adoption rate stays on current level, average is somewhat stable but volatility is high? Would you see any use of bitcoin at all? |

New Lottery Game:Just added a provably fair lottery game. Choose 6,7,8 or 9 numbers out of 49. Jackpot for 6 numbers currently at 10 Bitcoin. Prizes for 3,4 and 5 numbers also. Draw will happen daily at 9pm GMT. Tickets can be purchased up until 10 minutes before the draw. Shortly after the draw winners will be paid and the secret revealed so you can verify the results.  Play now at https://pocketrocketscasino.eu/#lottery That's new. Good idea, I may give it a try. Are the prizes paid from investors' funds/profits go to investors? Or is it independent from bankroll? Will the wins/losses be included in players' stats and are the tickets bought included in referral system? |

That and it's probably a easy place for them all to get to
dude, your comment is ridiculous you are pro hardfork and pro meeting - wtf are you doing in bitcoin? I am pro hardfork because I understand how it works and I never said i was PRO meeting I just said this thread is full of sensationalism (Is it not?) I think people are scared of change but they need to remember this isn't the banking sector, we need to do whats best for the coin and not just fear groups or individuals. The hell do you think this meeting is going to be about anyways? A way to somehow make themselves more money and make a 1% elite evil group or do you think it could possibly be for advancing the coin through more ideas for the blockchain and increasing a positive outlook on bitcoin for the masses? doesn't matter. I think you have an agenda. No need to continue discussion. So, it doesn't matter, what the meeting is about, since you are already against it? It doesn't matter to him, as he's probably the one who 'has an agenda' |

Fees are irrelevant atm. You're essentially asking for the DOGE to be 100% dependent on LTC network (merge mining)
Isn't DOGE already being merge mined? I'm saying they should get fees only once it gets to 100 billion with 0 block reward. Old DOGE miners should only mine at the pool if the pool supports DOGE. Then you dump whatever LTC you get (or whatever coin) and support DOGE. The pools will continue to mine DOGE because they will earn: A: Their cut off the top. B: More power to the pool. C: Good publicity. D: They will get some DOGE to dump to support whatever coin is being mined. It doesn't cost them anything anyways. Point is, currently if LTC dies DOGE can live on its own (there's incentive to mine). With 0 block reward: LTC dies = DOGE dies. And all your proposal is based on assumption that there are enough "old DOGE miners" who would choose the pool for some ideological reasons. If you assume that most miners are mining for profit, then none of them would care too much about getting few scraps of DOGE from tx fees. Just as no one cares anymore about getting devcoin while mining bitcoin. |
