If you don't have the time to invest in the wiki then why are you a good candidate? Admins and moderators need to be actively involved in the community (sockpuppets or not). If you can't do that anymore, you step down (like what has happened on bitcointalk). If you can't do that since the start, then you're not a good candidate for a position of power (unless you're someone who works on the maintenance).

On the other hand, the wiki can't be home to every opinion someone has on a Bitcoin related topic.


yes it can.

I've actually won paypal disputes where the buyer claimed unauthorized payment. Just had to call paypal and provide communication logs.
5863  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: alonso.javier.15.lizaola@gmail.com Late on Loan on: March 25, 2013, 08:33:19 AM
so he owes you about $1, and you will be adding about $0.05 daily?  Surreal.   Here in Vancouver, one of the most expensive cities in the world, that's really not worth mentioning even.  Are you in some 3rd world country where you can buy something with that $1?  I don't understand why a) anyone would want to borrow $1 b) why anyone would spend time lending someone $1 c) why anyone would spend time trying to get that $1 back.   Is it just the moral principal of the thing?    Just curious, there are many posts like this that boggle my mind this way.


I realize this MichaelBliss. This was the first loan for this person. My first bitcoin loan in general. I would like to keep it public if that ok with you. The High interest is based on the fact that he had little to no credentials with me, so to your ignorant comment about being in a 3rd wourld country....It's about establishing creditably in a very odd market....the internet...maybe you have heard of it? Let me ask you think would you ever loan someone more than $1 if they had little to no creditably??
Unfortunately with the bitcoin lending world, if someone has no reputation, more often than not they are going to scam you Tongue
5864  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: "Trade Fortress" on Skype isn't me. on: March 25, 2013, 08:28:09 AM
Just a warning: Trade Fortress (skype name: tradefortress) is not me. Has made a trade of Walmart GCs that is OK so far.

He is apparently Wardrick (registered March 11st).

While my name isn't unique, it's kinda shady to ride on someone else's rep. Not saying he's a scammer, but don't think it's me Smiley

If you're in the WoT anyone can verify if random account is or is not you by asking them to sign, and so you don't have to keep an eye on each and every venue out there and fight the losing battle of trying to publicize these "x is not me, even if I'm also x" notices.

One of the main advantages of the entire system.

I'm in OTC, this is just a warning to people so they don't accept a trade without checking it's not an imposter first.

Yeah, it would be nice if connectivity was better for us regarding mtgox. Similar to our EUR/USD pricing, we will look to pull the price from multiple high quality sources to get a price that is as accurate/recent as possible. This is particularly relevant for BTC/XXX, where trades are less frequent.

Our intention is to be 100% transparent with all appropriate technical specs, especially on details such as these, so we will publish the smoothing spec and the exchanges we use so people can calculate the precise same price should they wish. We're busy on working up a new design, more durations and other instruments at the moment so we'll get onto providing this detail tomorrow at the latest since we recognize it's important.

To provide a brief description, it's basically a weighted average of mids where the weight reflects the recency of the price. Like I said, full disclosure later.

That's great! As long as you have a spec that others can reproduce the price, it makes it 'provably fair' and others know that you're not influencing the price displayed (except for trading on the actual market).
5867  Other / Meta / Re: Get Donator status by donating 10 BTC on: March 24, 2013, 11:46:58 PM
Will the donate amount change with the BTC value? Bearing in mind 10BTC is worth around $600 now, I'm sure thats much more than 1 months hosting Wink
However, there's a point to be made that changing the donations threshold might be unfair to previous donators.
5868  Other / Meta / Re: Tapatalk/mobile compatability for the forum on: March 24, 2013, 11:45:04 PM
Firstly, not everyone wants to use or install a proprietary system.

Tapatalk annoys users by prompting with an alert (instead of the recommended way to do it, a smart banner). Forums with tapatalk becomes a walking billboard for their software, and while it does benefits people who use tapatalk, it presents a negative user experience for other users.

I wouldn't mind tapatalk if it stored "no thanks", but it asks you every session.
5869  Economy / Speculation / Re: What will happen to BTC "Fees" when we readh 1000$/BTC? on: March 24, 2013, 09:05:38 PM
Fees are supposed to be determined by the miner anyways.

For your SDICE example, maybe pay fees once, deposit to your SDICE account, and bet.
5870  Other / Meta / Re: Tapatalk/mobile compatability for the forum on: March 24, 2013, 08:56:22 PM
Please no tapatalk. It annoys people who browse on their mobile devices and also makes the SSL pointless.

5872  Economy / Gambling / Re: Satoshi Option - Trade binary options with Bitcoin on: March 24, 2013, 01:31:48 AM
Would you reveal which exchange you use for the rate?

We're using a combination of exchanges, with smoothing. We'd ideally like to stick to one, but found that there either isn't enough volume or the API isn't reliable enough (Mtgox). If BTC/USD isn't popular, we'll probably switch back to EUR/USD on Monday, given that we have more established data there.
Using multiple exchanges is cool, but smoothing? Details? Roll Eyes

Anyone needs to be able to derive the same numbers as you, or it's likely that you're cheating / fudging with the numbers to make people lose more often like other binary options sites.
5873  Economy / Gambling / Re: Satoshi Option - Trade binary options with Bitcoin on: March 23, 2013, 11:37:18 PM
Thanks for the support SRoulette, and for the feedback, it's much appreciated!

Update: We've now added a BTC/USD option (as traditional forex only trades on weekdays). Give it a go, and let us know what you think.
Seriously? Don't give another bullshit as "custom source".

Please explain how the price can update when I don't even see a trade on any of the major exchanges.

Use data from one large exchange.
5874  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: I officially quit Mt.Gox, moving to BTC-E on: March 23, 2013, 11:30:04 PM
Actually I am tired of this shit happening on MtGox. I considered it is not suitable for good trading as it always provides traders with surprises. Points:

* Order lag (its a bug actually casted to feature!)
* Trade interrupts, engine freeze. From minutes to hours.
* Sudden price false spikes, for example my ask order is at $13.80 and price went to $14 then down without affecting my order.
* Absolutely no feedback on above from Mt.Gox side (dummy answers). They pretend its okay and running fine.
* The most draconian fees in bitcoin world. They leave all above untouched having about up to $100.000 or even greater on daily fees.

I am silent about fiat withdrawals issues. This subforum should have a lot of such.

Taking into account all positive and negative effects of my decision, I decided that working with Gox is a pain in ass full of hidden risks which can overwhelm profits some day.

I move to BTC-E. I am not a big fish for Gox, but seems that big for btc-e. And liquidity issues are less pain in ass than mtgox ones on this stage.

I make this decision public to show my big pennis to Mt.Gox.
Where did the price went to $14??

Is it provably fair? Show us, not just claim.

Would like to know about that, also. Is it?
It is. Cool site.

The more alts succeed the more Ripple will succeed, as a convenient and risky way to exchange among them all...

-MarkM-


Ripple is based on central trust. It will fail eventually. Centralized supply creation...so fail.
Ripple isn't even open source.
