It seems too generous of you. What is the dark side of your offer?

None: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=21732.0

Will give a 0.25 BTC a spin with this and report back.
Question though:
Isn't the payout for higher matches a bit low, considering how statistically unlikely it is that the last 3 or 4 matches occur? Actually, how likely are they to occur? Smiley

With 16 hexadecimal digits in every position, you have one chance out of 16 to have one matching digit, 1/256 for two matching digits, 1/4096 for three, 1/65536 for four.

Incidentally, as an update to this thread... I have everything working smoothly now. Moving increasingly larger sums back and forth between my cold storage wallet and my online accounts to gain comfort (I can't tell if this is irrational behavior or good practice). Everything works as expected. My private key is not on any electronic device whatsoever. Yay!

Not stored on an electronic device, but regularly entered into one to sign transactions, right?

Hey everyone, check it out... I posted the "fee" thing as an issue on the Brainwallet github page and less than an hour later the feature got implemented!

Awesome!

check it out: brainwallet.org

As often in the Free Software world, when users take time to properly report bugs or ask for useful features, developers are more than happy to oblige. Kudos to brainwallet team and you for doing the right things.

There is a "re-sign" button on Brainwallet.org that I have never used. From a user perspective, the Brainwallet.org interface looks like it is updating all of the fields in response to any changes, so when I add miners fees in the JSON transaction field, the raw transaction string updates as well. However, maybe it needs to be re-signed?

That would be my bet.

Since your original transaction has not been broadcasted, and will probably never be, maybe you should double spend it.

Here is the raw transaction ID for sending 0.04 BTC to 1PSJMa4uHGyHaNncHuY1DvAzKBNbvHb1oS

I have not pushed this transaction yet. Could you try to do it?

I just did and it got accepted.

Was the transaction signed before or after modifying the JSON to include the miners fees? If it is before, of course the signature will be invalid, but you know that already, I just want to make sure.
88  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Transaction unconfirmed for long time, used brainwallet.org to create tx, help? on: September 06, 2012, 12:56:58 PM
This is not identical to the prior transaction (since I don't want to create double-spending issues).

Rebroadcasting the very same transaction will not create any double-spending.
89  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Transaction unconfirmed for long time, used brainwallet.org to create tx, help? on: September 06, 2012, 12:56:13 PM
OK, here is the raw transaction:

0100000001ce89572b106c1f2b05e11dd57610922f744f17704aa65e432797d27f31d0663b01000 0008a47304402206b189d481b42a9946863ed7c2fca3963258361b28b1131c1265f4a73dbe32b09 0220fc3ae3646d39d170474e6b042b6dda639d296df1160eccbef801da3908a1b70201410489c6e d3e066b16dc20b182da0feb2936b6cded7cb4893c7f3afcbba94a09d8c26a2a55c57fd41a11176d 65d62945607b755444a763a220191957e819fb31ccd4ffffffff02a0860100000000001976a914f 61ba739d571376f5eabc84418a217c2e21e2ad688ace0930400000000001976a9149269038b6091 0121150854edc7628575ecda435c88ac00000000

This is not identical to the prior transaction (since I don't want to create double-spending issues).

This one is rejected by bitcoind sendrawtransaction with "TX rejected", because the previous transaction (3b66d0317f) is not found.

The fee is still higher than the 0.005 btc "standard" transaction fee *grumble grumble* ...

The transaction has not been relayed to my bitcoind (it's not in the blockchain, obviously, neither in the mempool). I wonder if blockchain's pushtx works correctly. If the miners don't receive the transaction, they aren't going to include it.

If it doesn't appear, you can have someone reinject it into the network and see if it makes a difference (PM me with the raw transaction if you want me to reinject it).

Edit: the transaction itself is probably to blame, as pushtx is used by all blockchain.info wallets if I understand correctly
91  Economy / Securities / Re: [GLBSE] YABIF - Low Fee ETF. IPO Status: 333 shares left. on: September 05, 2012, 03:59:38 PM
Someone wanted out at .95. I obliged them. I thought I was doing the right thing for you and your shares by letting them out below NAV. I jumped on the opportunity to do so. I apologize to all of my investors for doing so.

So, if I understand you correctly (please correct me if I'm wrong), one investor, which is not you, who owned more than 70% of the shares, asked to be out and was reimbursed 0.95 BTC per share, without the other investors being asked or even told about it.

This is a serious wind down of the fund, which should have been acknowledge in a motion (which would have passed, since he had more than 67% of the votes) according to the terms of the contract. At least, other investors should have been warned, as a fund with less liquidities is probably much less efficient because of the limited leverage capabilities.

Can you clarify your offer to buy shares at 0.95 BTC at any time in the future? Will the money come from your personal wallet, or will it be a fund wind down (which, again, requires a vote as per your terms)? Reimbursing shares with the fund money may require that you liquidate assets at less than ideal conditions, and the remaining investors will suffer from this.

I'm sorry to bother you with so many questions, but the current way you are handling the fund is much too opaque in my opinion, and those questions and the corresponding answers should probably put in a FAQ in this thread. Also, I would hate to discover later from GLBSE admins that you were indeed the beneficiary of the buy back and that you concealed this information from investors.
92  Economy / Securities / Re: [GLBSE] YABIF - Low Fee ETF. IPO Status: 333 shares left. on: September 05, 2012, 08:24:00 AM
Sorry for the late update today folks. My sister got married. We had our insured pirate holdings in YARR, and have lost about 2.5% of portfolio value. In order to counteract this, I have decided to suspend our IPO and our dividends. This way, you will be able to trade your assets freely on the market. It takes no genius to determine that there will be some major shifts in the market in the coming weeks. Interest rates should lower significantly now that both pirate and BDT are on the downswing. The dividend will be reinstated as soon as I can possibly can. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

If you do not reasonably think that you will be able to further go on as planned, and especially that early in the IPO, you should put a buy order at face value and return funds to the investors, and reopen YABIF when the market has settled down.

This is an investment fund, not a bond. If you want your shares to never lose value, start a motion to turn this into a bond. I gave you adequate warning about how we would fair in such an event. Had something I personally did, like make a typo happen, I would cover your losses, however, a market wide phenomenon like this who's risk was apparent from the beginning is not something I will cover you for.

Hi.

There is something I don't understand though when looking at the numbers on GLBSE:

Payment dateTotal paidShares paidPayment per share
2012-08-14 11:221.3266630.002
2012-08-15 10:421.336650.002
2012-08-16 09:481.3346670.002
2012-08-17 11:331.3386690.002
2012-09-03 12:381.112761980.00562

The number of shares in the fund has decreased. As far as I know, this is only possible if the fund operator buys back shares in the fund capacity, which reduces the value of the fund. I don't see that anywhere in the contract, and this also goes against the purpose of using GLBSE for an investment fund, which is to prevent withdrawals from drying up the fund liquidities.

Could you please explain how at least 471 shares out of 669 (more than 70% of the shares!) were paid back, to whom (especially if this is to you as the fund operator) and at which price, especially when you denied my request as in investor to return the funds when you chose to stop the IPO?

Since there is a lack of bids right now, I want to make it known that I am willing to buy shares back at .95 at any time. Just pm me, and I will put the bid up.

Here, you talk about putting a bid to buy shares back at .95, but you would do so as an individual, right? Doing it by diminishing the fund value would be detrimental for the other investors. Moreover, reducing the number of fund shares by exchanging private messages would certainly qualify as an "under the table deal".   

One of your selling points was the absence of under the table deals and insider trading, as well as transparency of operations (I quote those parts below for easy reference). Also, you said that a wind down of the assets would require 67% of the votes, while it appears that a wind down did occur (going from 669 shares to 198) without any motion being presented and voted.

I sincerely hope that this is all a misunderstanding on my side and that you stuck to the terms agreed to by your investors, but your lack of communication especially regarding the apparent wind down makes it hard to assert what's really going on here.

There will be no under the table deals. All shares will be issued on the open market with a maximum of a 2% discount to spot price, NAV, or 5 day average.

I will hold a large majority of my own money in this fund. I will also be taking a management fee of 3%. Dividends will be disbursed when no deals are on the market, or when shares are being offered.

No information that could lead to insider trading will be disclosed to anyone. As most of my capital will be in the fund, almost all insider trading risk will be severely limited.

A 67% approval on a motion is necessary to proceed with a wind down of assets. In the event that I can no longer continue as fund manager, assets will be disbursed according to share ownership.

Why Invest with me?

  • Let me do the hard work
  • Focus on safe stocks
  • Transparent Operations
  • Good returns
  • Uncapped Returns
  • Low Fees
  • No off-market share sales

I get the "disconnected" version with Firefox 14.0.1.

OneEyed, Is it possible you could test this again now.

Seems to be working fine now, thanks (at least it displays that it is subscribed to the wallet). I have no liquid bitcoin online right now, but I'll have GLBSE send me a bitcent and confirm it appears live, but that usually takes a few minutes.

Live feature works, thanks again.

Perhaps piuk could develop a feature so that when it detects that the browser doesn't support WebSocket, it would "click" the refresh button automatically every one or two minutes? I know this is not real-time, but it's still better than having the user click the refresh button manually.

But my browser does support websockets, so this is not the issue.
97  Economy / Gambling / Re: Hunger Coins: An offer you can't refuse on: September 02, 2012, 12:22:41 AM
I'm just automating the borrowing part and put some kind of attraction to it. What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with that is that if you allow people to borrow anonymously you vastly increase the probability of them never repaying their loan.

I understood "the borrowing part" as "how we will borrow money so that we can lend it for higher interest rates". It makes more sense than your interpretation.
98  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain.info wallet question on: September 01, 2012, 11:56:55 PM
You can always manually refresh the transactions by clicking the refresh arrow icon at the top right of the page, next to the logout button. I think it works on any browser no matter if it supports WebSockets or not.

Of course, but that hinders usability a lot.
99  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain.info wallet question on: September 01, 2012, 10:14:30 PM
The Live update depends on WebSocket which is patchy in some browsers. The latest versions of Firefox, Safari and Chrome should work. IE will only work if you download the version 10 beta (http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/) although I haven't tested it.

I get the "disconnected" version with Firefox 14.0.1.

Oh well, I don't think I was able to maintain any ipv6 connections anyway. I'm behind a tunnel broker, so I don't know if that matters or not. Thanks devs for all the work and I look forward to future releases.

It would be great to have a flag asking to prefer IPv6 over IPv4 when selecting outgoing peers to connect to.
