How I see price of share floating around $56.
The price of the shares shouldn't really be impacted by BTCUSD. While there are operational costs in USD, they are pretty negligible right now. ASICMINER mines bitcoins, not USD.

Guys, just accept BTC payments which he wont offer cause he isn't actually planning on refunding you - just trolling.

Another bitcoin venture bites the dust...

It's absolutely clear that they oversold BTC and the price rally left them fucked. Stop buying Bitcoins from bitinstant, it's likely that you're not going to get your coins
Agreed, gave up on my order from february (page 50 or so of that thread). theres no way ill see the BTC i bought @$26 from them with the current price.
Don't give up, make a new thread in this forum. Add details.

Any single shred of centralization is centralization. GTFO Bit_Happy with another premined scam currency.

I think the bitinstant thread should be unstickied - they are having problems with overselling BTC and I'm going to guess a few hundred newbies will be turned away from bitcoin after they got scammed following a supposedly reputable seller stickied on the de facto forum..

As long as the house provides the reel-configuration and the pay-table (which are both easy for players to verify without doing in-depth statistical analysis), it is possible for a player to calculate the return-to-player percentage of any slot machine.

Not to nitpick here, but that's not exactly true. At least not in Vegas. Reel configurations in physical slots stay the same, but the par sheet changes based on electronic weighting which is not disclosed to the player. A reel with 5 single cherry instances on it can be weighted to come up cherry an extra 1 time in a thousand, if they want it to. That's how they adjust RTP without changing the pay table.

Now it is true that a slot with a 1-to-1 instance to weight ratio of symbols on all reels -- or a game like VP where the deck odds are known -- can definitely be proven fair if the pay table and outcome are made known to the player. But it's worth pointing out that all that is needed to make the game provably fair is a pay table and raw data to conduct a statistical analysis. If you're providing that to the players, then actually giving cryptographic proof is kind of a pointless extra. It may make some players feel better, and I have no problem with that, but like you said once the player has the actual RTP values, the reel configs or basic odds of the game, and the outcomes of all the play sessions, that's already enough to prove whether the game is fair or show if it's rigged.

Of course a house could manipulate those figures. That's what licensing jurisdictions are supposed to audit, and why most reputable casinos operate out of Malta, Curacao, etc. It's worth pointing out that a "provably fair" casino using two keys could also cheat by discarding a hash that was unfavorable to the house without the player ever knowing about it. Unless all the stats are made visible at the end of the day, there's no way to know whether a skew like that is happening.
The hash is shown to the player (hash of hash), and the player can specify their own secret. So the casino cannot discard a hash, because the player knows the hashed forms already.

Also, shady online casinos can make a slot or card come up more often than others if t can't be proved that it is decided beforehand or can be directly influenced by the player.

Mod, go home ur drunk.

This is not a exchange thread, its a service/job offer, move the thread back to services pls.

Yea TradeFortress, according to you Ripples are worth so MUCH!  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=147789.0
Getting a bit offtopic here, but I don't believe in the long term prospects of ripple. That doesn't mean you can't currently trade ~80k XRPs for a BTC or so.

We are going to have another disaster if bitcoin services become more centralized. Blockchain.info API/Coinbase/MtGox/BitPay/Walletbit whatever going down should not mean 20% of bitcoin merchants and sites going down. We don't need more sites integrating into each other at this point.

Plus, many people who use bitcoin do not have a forum account. They might read, they might chat on IRC, or catch up with the latest news on reddit or just only learn of headlines from sites they visit.
