Witam,

5702  Economy / Games and rounds / *** SafeDice.com REFERRAL GIVEAWAY *** [CLOSED] on: January 18, 2015, 01:29:48 PM
*** GIVEAWAY ***

Edit: Giveaway now closed




OK, so I've decided to do an experimental promo, here's how it goes:

First 10 people will be tipped BTC0.001 each. And whoever wager the most until Fri 23rd Jan, 20:00 (London time) will also get the reward of BTC0.01. Not much, but it's free.

All you need to do:

  1) Sign up through my referral link: https://safedice.com/?r=488

  2) Click 'Get started', then click on your temporary username (top-right corner), click 'Personal' and create desired username and choose password.

  3) You need to deposit and wager at least 1 satoshi. I don't like this requirement, but players with zero wagered are not shown on referral list, so it's necessary.

  4) Post your username in this thread and I'll tip you BTC0.001 as soon as I can.

  5) On Fri 23rd Jan, at 20.00 (London time) the player who will wager the most will get additional BTC0.01. There will be max. of 10 players and I don't expect any whales to sign up, so you can possibly win with relatively small amount wagered.

  6) Have fun and good luck!



Notes:

- I'm not on this forum 24/7 so please be patient, I'll reply and send tips as soon as I can.
- I'll try to post a screen-shot on Fri 23rd showing a proof of the BTC0.01 winner.
- Only members with accounts created before the date of this thread are eligible to participate.
- I'm not the owner or operator of SafeDice.com, if you have any technical difficulties, please seek advise in the official thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=868275.0

Current leader is booktiger with only ~0.01 wagered, followed by foead with ~0.0095 and adjiadjo with ~0.0061 (at 19th Jan, 19.50)

Hi i've been looking for investments. please tell me where is the fastest way to earn money. is it bitcoin or stockmarket? from todays point of view. Please respect my post, thank you!

Depends what you're looking for. If you want to invest big money, then stocks seem better option as it's less risky. If you have small amount but still hoping for large return - you have better chance with bitcoin, although you'll be risking a massive loss.

Or you could just invest in both. Say 90% in stocks and 10% in Bitcoin.

I think one thing that may case to bitcoin, I read Some where that BTC can be used for feeding Terrorist and other Illegal ways like black money transfer, laundering money etc. People can send their Black money any where with out being located.

~ OTS ~

That's correct. These are real facts not only rumors.

Care to share at least one of these facts where bitcoin was used to sponsor terrorist? I'm not talking about some guy speculating that bitcoin could be used for such, I'm talking about confirmed facts.

Thanks in advance


yes:   https://alkhilafaharidat.wordpress.com/

Can't see it... Can you copy/paste the relevant part?
Also, if these are 'real facts' I'm sure you can find any more serious source than wordpress blog?
5705  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's price seems to be the final indicator of it's success or failure! on: January 17, 2015, 07:01:56 PM
No it is not.
I think, the most important indicator is transactions per day. That says a lot more about the currency than the price.

I am a litttle concerned can we trust that stat however, i think the transactions per day would be higher now anyway so yeah...
No, we can not really trust that stat, but we could tweak it, e.g. by measuring the transactions per day of the 100 biggest merchants.

Or just number of purchases from BitPay and Coinbase. Number of transactions + amount.

But still, that's just one of many indicators. Buying things is not the only use of bitcoin. And I reckon number of purchases will decline along with the price fall.

In a perfect market, price is a good indicator, but BTC's market is twisted. The market will become clearer to read with the number of users increasing. Today, a few people can bring it down or up.

True, the problem is you cannot really compare bitcoin to anything, as it's a new, unprecedented invention/project. So many would just put it in the same categories as stocks or commodities and focus entirely on the price.

But it's not necessarily appropriate. It's a bit like saying that internet is not doing very well because people are not willing to pay high bills for data usage as they did in the past.
5708  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's price seems to be the final indicator of it's success or failure! on: January 17, 2015, 05:23:19 PM
Market cap is a much better metric than price because the price is proportional to the the number of bitcoins.

Well, yes. If you have a high inflationary coin, looking only at the price per coin without checking market cap could give you the false picture.

But for someone who bought such coins as an investment, market cap is irrelevant, he would be only interested in price per coin, and he would likely define the success or failure of the coin only by its price.
5709  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning on: January 17, 2015, 05:11:25 PM
LTC - A complete useless altcoin - 54,000,000 marketcap
PayCoin - Such a bad joke on greedy people - 46,000,000 marketcap

Ethereum - ~6,600,000 marketcap

nuff said



Totally agree - Etheruem will be able to handle quite a lot of dilution from mining whilst still looking reasonably priced compared to those. I'd also add Stellar - a fairly shoddy fork of Ripple with nothing unique apart from the fact that its mainly distributed to fraudsters who set up multiple facebook accounts for the giveaway - at $17,000,000

this is not correct, there are about 60 Million Ether, the current ethercoin represents 1 million of them, valued at about $1 or so.  thus the market cap of Ethereum, using the value of the proxy ethercoin, is $60 Million, not $6 Million.

What are you talking about?
Ethercoin have nothing to do with Ethereum.


~Ethereum price = 31,531 BTC / 60,102,216 ETH, that is 0.00052462 BTC per ETH - raw calculation without taking into consideration the dynamic price.


oh really? how much would you like to bet?

Bet on what?

That ethercoin =/= Ethereum?

From ethercoin website:

Quote
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE OFFICIAL ETHEREUM PROJECT.  WE ARE OFFERING A SECOND-MARKET SALE OF ETHERS.

So basically buying ethercoin you need to trust that it will be possible to redeem for the real Ether upon launch.

But I'm really surprised to see the price at $1.24, although the daily volume is not high enough to use it as a solid future price of Ether indicator (daily volume $1,248).

Site is down again. I'm getting Error 523.

You really need to do something with the down-time/game slowing down issues, it happens way too often.

I was hoping to do a small promo with my ref link, but need the site to be stable for that.

Max profit of 155BTC can be won for example if I bet 1550 btc at 1.1?

Yes. I don't think there's any maximum bet restriction. So feel free to do it.
5712  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm fucking out. bitcoin will be over soon..confirmed. on: January 17, 2015, 01:51:15 PM
The obituarty was made as a joke because someone wanted to display all the fud in media that kept saying bitcoin was going to fail. It hasn't done so yet, and it most likely never will.

I'm sure OP is aware of that.

He made this post as a joke, don't take it literally.
5713  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's price seems to be the final indicator of it's success or failure! on: January 17, 2015, 01:32:39 PM
...
because even when other metrics are low and price is in an upswing everybody praise bitcoin but when every other metric is good and price is down then everybody calls bitcoin a failure like they call now..
...

Is it the same 'everybody' who think bitcoin is a stock and that bitcoin CEO got arrested?

What is the threshold of success for BTC in USD terms? $500? $1000?
5714  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dude forces his roomate at gunpoint to sell bitcoins! on: January 17, 2015, 12:46:59 PM
Well that dude must have put everythinh on bitcoin and when he saw the price drop, he couldn't control himself.

You didn't even read the article, didn't you?

Not useful to the majority 99.9% of people.  Therefore you are in the minority

None of the existing currencies is used by majority (>50%) of people.

You either got the your definition of 'currency' wrong, or there is no such thing as 'currency'.
5716  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin friendly banks? on: January 16, 2015, 09:38:36 PM
There's Fidor Bank, officially bitcoin-friendly, but I think it's only for German residents.

They partnered-up with Kraken

He does not have a prayer at arguing this was self defense. He went and got a weapon then returned and murdered his roommate. I don't think NY even has the castle doctrine. That means even if someone is in his home trying to kill him, he is obligated to try running away and not fight.  He's a murderer and his life is over.
 

What if the other guy had a shotgun and threatened to kill him? And if there was no other way to run away from the apartment?

All depends on circumstances.
5719  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-01-15]CA-Paul Koster: "Central Bankers Should Prohibit Bitcoin Immediately on: January 15, 2015, 05:24:37 PM
Quote
The reason for coming out with such a statement at this point in time is because of the recent headlines on every major mainstream news outlet detailing how Bitcoin lost a quarter of its value in a relatively short span of time.
Ban oil? Good luck banning either Paul, you'll need it.

Fuck it, lets ban every under-performing stocks! And/or introduce compulsory insurance. You can let people lose their money due to their own poor decisions. This madness has to stop!


Quote
Mr. Koster concluded his statement by adding the following : “These volatile Bitcoin price swings  prove that this market is not supervised and/or regulated by any government or institution. As a result, it is impossible for banks, consumers, investors and retailers to estimate the potential risks of getting involved with Bitcoin.”

Then don't get involved mr Koster, just don't...


BTW:

Quote
While it is clear that Paul Koster wants absolutely nothing to do with Bitcoin, most central bankers have not yet taken a stance towards cryptocurrency. In fact, there are a few pro-Bitcoin banks to be found in the European Union. Fidor Bank ,for example, only deals with Bitcoin-related customers and companies.

Anyone uses Fidor bank? Do you need to be German resident to open account with them?

If I would enroll now... would I have to make minimum 50 posts until the end of January or until 15 February? I am not sure if I understood the rules good.

All payments are made by the end of the month. So you'd need to make 50 posts to get paid on 31st January. If you don't hit the minimum, your post will be rolled over, but you'll get paid by the end of Feb.

That's how it worked in the first month anyway.
