61  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Just-Dice.com : now with added CLAMs : Play or Invest on: December 08, 2014, 07:11:16 AM
When I closed Just-Dice, many people asked for a 'testnet coin' site to stay open. I couldn't see an obvious way of doing that while still leaving the real BTC accounts available for people to divest and withdraw from, so I just left the bets disabled. Most of the JD accounts have now been emptied out. A few big ones still remain, but people can email the support address to access those.

I considered relaunching with testnet coins, but figured it would increase the demand for testnet coins and interfere with their intended purpose of being readily available and testing BTC. CLAM seems like an ideal candidate since everyone who had any funded BTC, LTC, or DOGE addresses in May of this year already has some CLAM.

It's pretty much the same as the old one. Only this time I won't end up with control of millions of dollars' worth of other people's coins, and so will hopefully be able to sleep better.

I don't plan to introduce BTC again. Last time it really got out of hand. I don't want to be holding huge amounts of value for other people. It's scary. I said recently in the chat that I won't be opening for BTC again. That's overstating it since I'm not certain about that, but it's probably true.

CLAM is cheap

Are you sure you're being honest with yourself here?

Last trade price of CLAM on polo is 0.0028. That's about $1.04 per CLAM, which means just-dice already has almost $70k invested.

At what point does it become too big?

Please do not donate to this unsophisticated ancient website.

Any respectable modern website would recognize modern convenient means of donation.  I'll tell you what Wikipedia, if you publish your address, I'll send you a check.  Remember checks?  LOL!!  Morons.


you do realize they allow bitcoin donations, right?
That might be true, but they build their donation page as if they don't.  So in effect, they don't.  In other words, their user interface if very bitcoin unfriendly - even if they will accept bitcoin in some other medium.  They need a QR code on that page or people can easily donate in bitcoin without searching around for 30 minutes.  I am giving nothing.

They use a coinbase payment processing widget. I find it somewhat annoying that it asks for personal information, probably for some legal reason. There's no reason you can't put fake info into their form though.

Do they have fees to trade? If not, it's fake volume.


they have fees and I suspect they have fake volume too

Actually they don't have any trade fee:

Does anyone know how I can contact the Mintpal V1 guy(s)?

What did you need to ask? I'm in direct contact with them.

I need my trade history from the v1 platform. For accounting.

Any updates on the XMR that was in mintpal? I had a substantial holding of XMR and would really be delighted to see it come back home soon..

I don't know where I am going with this but maybe someone can help complete it haha: It is interesting to me how we base the value of Bitcoin off of USD, but at the same time for the value of bitcoin to go up the value of USD needs to go down (I think this is what I have been reading, correct me if I am wrong). So when Bitcoin is valued by more USD, won't the large amount of USD mean nothing?

Perhaps, though there is also a lot of room for Bitcoin to go up in value (relative to USD) without USD going through hyperinflation.

Ultimately for you, the question is probably whether you'll be able to pay more rent/buy more groceries with the BTC you saved versus the USD. In other words, bitcoin's worth is really measured in terms of what it can buy.

Is there a page which documents all the different rate limits? For example, there's EAPI but also EORDER rate limits, and I think I found a post here describing EAPI but not EORDER.

Also, are the EORDER rate limits per-tradepair, or global across all tradepairs?

Thanks.
Edit: all rate limits are per pair, not global.
Can you please explain this remark further please, as this made it more unclear to me. Which calls are not global? The order add/cancel doesn't count, as that's +0, are there separate counters per pair and one global counter, for non-pair related queries such as trade balance/history? And finally, there supposedly is a separate order rate limit - despite the +0 for order add/cancel - which I and other people seem to hit as well, is there more information about this?

Yes, it's confusing because what I said is false.  Cheesy Sorry about that! The rate limit is per pair for order add and cancel only, and global for everything else. I don't have information on the separate rate limit for order add/cancel, but I'm working on getting that.

This will probably answer my question as well.. EORDER is the error I get when I'm placing/cancelling orders too fast. EAPI is the error I get when I'm doing other calls too fast.

It would be great if you guys had a spot in the API documentation where this stuff is documented.

Care to explain the reason why people could not withdraw BTCD a few weeks ago?

What was the "technical" issue that presented such a challenge?

Sure we run super low hot wallets for one. It some times take some tweaking to make sure we have enough to meet withdraw demand so that is part of the snaffu. Match that with a server crash ( more of a server unplanned reboot) leading to a corrupt wallet DB you get a rough week of delays.

Could you look into this? It's still a problem for us. BTCD withdrawals commonly take a long time.. up to several days. For example, right now I have one that was initiated 11 hours ago and still hasn't been processed.

having issues again. Api calls are timing out. Website is excruciatingly slow to respond.

website says: "This data is not currently available. Please try again later."

You basically can't be certain that you have the right fills with bitfinex's api. What we do is:

1. periodically poll for open orders
2. when we notice something vanishes from the open orders list, call out to /order/status to see whether it's been filled or cancelled
3. for the orders which are still open from on open_orders call to the next, check if the open size changed, and if so, generate a fill for the difference.

This will give you the right fill quantity/price over all, but if fills are split into lots of partials, sometimes they will show up grouped into one larger fill.

Kaching, thank you!

Now the only thing I need there is auto-withdrawals.

If you're willing to do a little coding, you can automate withdrawals via cryptsy's API
79  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This might be when Bitcoin becomes real money being used and appreciated on: September 28, 2014, 07:36:36 PM
Once a family member back home has received the Bitcoin, they can of course go to an ATM and get fiat.  But what if they were just going to take that fiat and go to the grocery store and buy groceries but that grocery store just happened to accept Bitcoin.  Now, it doesn't even make any sense to go to the ATM because Bitcoin → fiat means losing 1% where as going to a grocery store that accepts Bitcoin directly will be less traveling, quicker, and cheaper.  The grocery also likes it when its customers pay in Bitcoin because they get the money instantly, don't have to pay credit card fees of up to 3%, and unlike cash, it can't really be stolen by employees.  I  could even see the grocery offering a small discount to customers that pay in Bitcoin and if so then even less of a reason to turn one's Bitcoin into fiat.  In this scenario Bitcoin has gone from being a form of international remittance to now also being a kind of real currency. 

You nailed this one. This is one of the best and most immediate success stories possible for bitcoin. What is needed is bitpay/coinbase-like merchant services in the 3rd world.
