For the site operator Smiley

TF, I took a loan from you a while ago. Did you keep my ID?
No, I don't have it anymore.

Make it provably fair.

also, inb4 move to alt cryptocurrencies (and ripple is nothing but a scam anyways)
5784  Economy / Lending / Re: BTCJAM - Double your Fiat! Help me start something! on: March 27, 2013, 08:29:29 AM
Some questions:

1) Im not sure how your 12% and the BTCJam listing really add up. 12% per months * 12 months = 144% not to mention that 12% of 30 BTC are 3.6BTC and not 4.67032 BTC like shown on BTCJam...
Or is this some kind of partial repayment every month like:
  • 1. Month: 30           BTC borrowed + 12% = 33.6 BTC owed - 4.67032 BTC leaves 28.92968 outstanding
  • 2. Month: 28.92968  BTC borrowed + 12% = 32.4 BTC owed - 4.67032 BTC leaves 27.72968 outstanding
  • ...
2) "I have taken out over 200 BTC in loans" any proof for that? I only see 51.43 repaid at BTCJam
It is partial repayment. I entered the numbers in my calculator:

Mostly matches up (rounding issues? btcjam calculating 13 months because it's silly like that?)

Hehe, that is a joke (indicating there are no more fees) Smiley

And the first loan goes to BTC4Amazon!

Ripple does not have decentralized exchanges. You have to trust the exchanges, the same way you have to trust an exchange if you want to trade coins now.

5788  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [To Theymos and Mods] An honest concern (all trolling aside) on: March 27, 2013, 06:17:04 AM
Theymos openly said he thought pirate was a ponzi.

I doubt he thinks BFL is. Most of us do not think it is a scam but rather them just being massively incompetent.






I guess someone needs to define at what point is a incompetent operation considered a scam.
When they stop honoring refunds in USD?

Their published policy is no refunds correct?

People who sent BFL after the fpga fail should have known what they were getting into. I see no reason why they should have a scammers tag at this point. I will be reasonable and listen to evidence however.
Actually, their published policy is no refunds. However, aren't there distance selling regulations? I'm not too sure since I'm not a lawyer and I'm not in the US either.

This forum is not here to enforce some countries trade laws.
I'm not talking about the forum enforcing this, but aren't BFL legally obligated to offer refunds / cancels?
5789  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker on: March 27, 2013, 06:16:17 AM
I want to see some more resistance at $100 so I can buy more coins at double digits.

5791  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Definition of the term "millibitcent" on: March 27, 2013, 06:07:44 AM
1        - Bitcoin
0.1      - Bitcent  = .99 - .999 are all Bitcents
0.01     - Bitcent
0.001    - Bitcent
0.0001   - Microbit = .00009 - .000099 are all Microbit
0.00001  - Microbit
0.000001 - Millibit =  
0.0000001 - Satoshi
0.00000001 -Satoshi

I will need to sit down with paper and get it all perfect, but you should catch my drift.   I think this should be a nice simple way to tell people amounts.
Are you trolling? Two definitions of "satoshi" and three definitions of "bitcent", and microbit being 1e-4 or 1e-5 instead of 1e-6 BTC, and millibit being what a microbit actually should be, and being even less than a microbit???

--> Almost none of these proposals makes any sense!

Just stick to standardized units "milli" = 1/1000, "micro" = 1/Million, and "cent" = 1/100, and that's all we need. This is what everyone knows and understands from today's everyday's life of the pre-bitcoin-era (like in mm, mg, ml, mbar units, or µm, µg, or "cent" (EUR/USD), or centimeter).

Making it more complicated and inventing one name for each of the 8 digits after the comma will just cause confusion and will definitely not be adopted.

But actually I did not want to start a thread on naming conventions in general, I was just wondering about whether the particular term "millibitcent" has any reasonable justification, and as it seems, it turned out that it is a nonsense term without justification.

I don't care if someone says "millibit" or "millibitcoin" or "bitmill" or "mBTC" or "BTM", whether one says "microbit" or "microbitcoin" or "µBTC", or whether one says "bitcent" or "bitcoincent" or "centibit" or "cBTC", in all of these cases it is clear what is meant from use of the standardized units, so no need for any "standardization" - let the people decide what turns out to be the most frequent usage. ("Satoshi" is the only bitcoin-era-specific term that adds on top of this)


PS: On naming conventions, I just found this old thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3574.0
(the term "millibitcent" is only shortly mentioned there in the last post of 25 June 2011, again  as 0.1 mBTC instead of 0.01 mBTC)
I certainly hope Darklore is trolling.

Here:

1 = bitcoin
0.1 = 0.1 bitcoins
0.01 = 0.01 bitcoins
0.001 = 1 mBTC
0.0001 = 0.1 mBTC
0.00001 = 0.01 mBTC
0.000001 = 100 satoshi
0.0000001 = 10 satoshi
0.00000001 = 1 satoshi

Wow  Shocked

$3192.42 down the drain. So if the address doesn't exist, is it possible that it will be generated in the future? What a lottery that would be!
I think the chances of that actually lower than the chances of generating, say, a satoshidice address (which isn't going to happen really).

Why do u say they were free?
Maybe because he thinks he'll make them back?

(or buy ASICMINER shares)

5795  Other / Meta / Re: We need a stickied topic for newbies... on: March 27, 2013, 05:36:29 AM
Cleaning up the stickies in the Newbies forum might help.  Many of those threads are so long that newbies simply aren't going to read them.  Ten stickies at the top of any forum is too many.  A single "Bitcoin primer" locked sticky with links to notable threads on various issues would be better.

Megathreads get around the problem of 73,000 threads on the same topic, but you still have the issue of the same questions coming up repeatedly because many people won't read threads over 20 pages.  Maybe if we can prune some key threads to a few pages each and link to them we'll have better luck.

To be honest, search sucks and it's not readily apparent to Newbies that if you search from within a forum only that forum will be searched.  
I agree that there's too many stickies in the newbies forum. Here's my thoughts:

"Bitcoin Businesses and Developers, Let's Get Started!" -> whitelist requests
"Membergroups; or: Why do some users get colored coins under their names?" -> not bitcoin related, move to meta?
"Official Newbie BitInstant Support Thread (Active Customer Support)" -> private company that is currently having problems overselling BTC (and might end up with a hundred people scammed). why sticky?

Put Helpful articles for newcomers and terminology together.

PMs sent out with share transfer, everyone was copied.

Thanks ineedausername Smiley
5797  Economy / Lending / [CLOSED] CoinLenders on: March 27, 2013, 05:29:44 AM
Due to growing regulatory attention on Bitcoin, CoinLenders regrettably has decided to close it's service. As detailed on the site, everything was fictional.

We have a demo instance of the coinlenders script available at https://coinlenders.com - it is fully functional and is the exact same script it was before.
5798  Other / Meta / Re: We need a stickied topic for newbies... on: March 27, 2013, 05:10:43 AM
And a link to the deflation topic.
5799  Economy / Securities / Re: ASICMINER for dummies? on: March 27, 2013, 05:09:21 AM
ASICMINER does not have a website.

They currently have around 6 TH, and the next batch will be 50 TH (deployed in April)

400,000 total shares, a little under half are floated.

Quote
- if I "buy" shares from the auction forum, how do I know the person offering the shares actually has shares to sell?

Let them sign a message from an address having the shares? (Check the div payments)

Share transfers are via PM or email.

Buy it from bitfunder.

If you have being scammed by BitInstant

Make a new topic in the scammer accusations board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=post;board=83.0

(You can only post there if you are out of the newbie jail)
