Everyone keeps saying that the rise in BTC will hurt what people are willing to gamble.  Could this not be countered by just lowering the minimum bet and adding another decimal place. 

I mean if I am willing to spend $5 a spin this can be calculated quite easily.  They could even add a converter on the fly so the fiat a user wants to bet can be copied and pasted.

Yeah, I'm wondering what the reasoning behind keeping the min. bet the same despite a 10 fold increase in the value of bitcoin is.
Transaction fees.

newbie question: if i want to buy some shares i see both bitfunder and btctco got them, any ups and down to buying on either? or anywhere else?

what happens if one of the exchanges pull a quick one and disappear, do i still have the stocks linked to my btc address or email?

sorry if this has been answered already.

The shares on the exchanges are passthroughs, so if you buy them you dont have a contract with asicminer, but with the owner of the passthrough. And this owner has a contract with asicminer. Till now i only know that deadterras Passthrough allows it that you can change the pt-shares into real shares once you have 240shares. (or around that number) The thread linked is for selling real asicminer shares.

https://btct.co/security/ASICMINER-PT

- Free transfers in and out with NO MINIMUM share requirement.
- Lower per-transaction fees than the competition.
- Documented dead man's switch (view btct.co/faq while logged in) that works 100% because of how btct.co shares asset lists with it's issuers.  All my co-workers have to do is forward friedcat the latest list that comes into my email.

Hope that helps!

BitFunder has zero per-transaction fees if all you do is buy and no dividend fees, but btct.co has lower fees overall Smiley

I'm new to btc. About three weeks. Don't meet the posting requirements, and have only made one transaction. Trying to make my second, but it has become exceedingly difficult. I will provide any personal info requested. I am trying to find 3 btc. I can pay within 24 hrs after receiving.I am in a tough situation here. Really need to get these by tomorrow, or else I would just go through theymos, which I plan on doing next week. This would be a lifesaver for me, and would give me a nice chance to build my rep.
It's a longshot, I know. Or, maybe you would be willing to sell for mp?
wow, never thought it would be this hard!
Thanx either way, and you provide a great service which helps to bolster the community.

go through theymos?

So is AMC back on the Bitfunder market yet? I cannot see it.

I will loan that to you, i need scanned ID and i would need you to print out, then sign and scan a contract.

Thank you for the offer, however I will pass.

If you are willing to let me send the ID to tomatocage or John K maybe to essentially escrow my ID as collateral. I see you are a new member, I rather not risk sending my ID out for a btc loan.

Hope you understand, thanks again.
You could upload your ID to coinlenders and then you can show BTCBUDDY1 your credit rating (with the verified ID). I store them in encrypted form on Amazon S3.

No, it's a default font size difference.

Right. You should hopefully be able to get 3 lines of default-sized text on most browsers, but more than that might get cut off.

greyhawk's seems to have set his browser to have a minimum font size of 9 pt or something.

Why are you using the funds raised here to pay back your BTCJAM loan?

Shouldn't you be able to repay the loan from the BTC you sold?

If he sells the btc, he gets a % fee. He then has to purchase at _least_ that qty to continue to have btc in inventory.
If he had paid off the loan, then he would be back to square one with no inventory, and that would have defeated the purpose.
But if he had paid off the loan, then he wouldn't need to take 300 BTC out of the IPO.

Will the capital from the BTCJAM loan will be part of the company, or is it in the pockets of the owner (on top of the 20% Jerrod currently gets)? I'd expect the former but a clarification would be good.
5730  Economy / Securities / Re: AMC Discussion Thread (not self moderated) on: March 29, 2013, 12:11:02 AM
He didn't buy 100, he asked about buying 100 because he thought he'd have IPO'd and had tons of BTC by now.
He says he ordered them:

Oh, I missed that! Thought bASIC-MINING was still directing a portion of the mining proceeds to growth / reinvestment.

bASIC-MINING isn't a large corporation, and the funds were held for future investment in mining hardware. Actually, I don't think this new proposed dividends would make much difference to the treasury, batch 2 should be shipping late April & the difference is quite small. A bit pointless IMO.

EDIT: And how is it "win win" exactly? It's not like they are free coins coming out of nowhere.
5734  Other / Archival / Re: btt on: March 28, 2013, 10:23:45 PM
Changing the dividends paid from 70% of mining revenue to 100% for now (until we get Avalons) might be a good idea.

bASIC-MINING is already running in this mode.
Oh, it already is? Do you know when this started?
5735  Other / Archival / Re: btt on: March 28, 2013, 10:15:41 PM
Yeah, don't pay dividends from the treasury (unless you're running BTCS&T).

Changing the dividends paid from 70% of mining revenue to 100% for now (until we get Avalons) might be a good idea.

how? you shouldn't accuse. I asked for a loan.. If I don't get it then thats okay, not begging anyone. Nobody can be a member here and be honest.. hmmm...
Do you have any collateral?
5737  Economy / Securities / Re: AMC Discussion Thread (not self moderated) on: March 28, 2013, 09:55:24 PM
Also, txids for your 100 batch 3 orders?

It'd take you a minute opening up your bitcoin client and pasting the TXIDs here.

5739  Economy / Securities / Re: ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It on: March 28, 2013, 09:51:22 PM
So expect the distribution key to be 164k:236k, and in future 1/163,962 over 41% of all dividend payments for each share. So this is in effect a 5% reduction in dividend payments for ASICMINER shareholders as expected per contract (where 50% would go to ASICMINER). However, this comes with the insurance of no further dilution, which I consider priceless, and for that reason I approve. Also 1/163,962 of 41% is equivalent to 1/200,000 of 50%, so it's not unexpected based on the contract if all shares had sold. (you can see where the fuzziness came from)

I think its fair in the way that if all shares had been sold we would still earn the same dividend as we earn now. But they werent sold and still asicminer was able to launch. It could have happen that nothing could run at that time and the whole project stopped. So i think its ok when bitfountain and their owners get some extra now. Of course i would like to see this being compensated by more hashingpower mining in the net... *g*
There are less dividends paid out to shareholders, but there are also less shares floated. So really no difference in your dividends payments compared to full 200k sold.
