Are you offering some of the big C's physical bitcoins?

Irregularities in the die pics they've recently posted have me considering betting against them and I never bet outside of a poker room.
May I suggest that you bet against them at http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=665 (disclosure: I submitted it) That bet runs until June 30. This one will pay sooner: http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=701Betting closes in 4 days. How long does it take those assholes to pay out though? |

MLB season starts at the end of March, right? We'll cover it too since that's what people seem to want. Another "league" that we're adding next month is Formula 1 racing, so keep an eye out for that  MLB Season does indeed start soon. One sort of popular baseball bet that I don't know if you are comfortable offering yet is the pre-season World Series bet. Usually just the casinos and brave bookies offer it. I've seen exactly one World Series bet denominated in bitcoin so far and it is on Bitbet for the Cardinals to win, but because of bitbet limitiations it isn't scheduled to close until Game One of the Series is over though the Cardinals could be eliminated much before then. It's a bit late to open this sort of bet though, but if you could open them for next year this November it ought to be pretty lucrative for you. A standing World Series bet, odds revised as often as you need to for new bets up through the All Star Break might be workable though. |

Now you know, hope you don't mind us having contests like this sometimes  No, It's great. Now I have questions to answer. Hopefully they'll stick around to answer one of mine when I'm feeling generous and have some coin to throw around. |

The Founder and CEO of BuyBitcoin.com is also probably the most famous person in the Bitcoin world... His name is Bruce Wagner. Trust is nice and all, but you really should never trust Bruce, he loves to scam people. So true. |

Soooo I hate the environment, and am trying to squeeze every single M/hash I can out out of anything...
Right now I have my HD4000, slugging away at 15.1 mh/s
But I have an issue, my HD2500 works for a bit (30-40mins) at 4-5 mh/s and then quickly drops to kilo hash range?
Is this a cooling issue? or something to do with Programming? (I am using CG 10.2.5 command line on both)
It is either a cooling issue or a shitty support for OpenCL issue. |

After seeing you guys have allot of questions we though helping out so you get answers right away, and reward you at the same time for taking the effort to learn about Bitcoin. Ask anything on rugatu.com, not necessarily bitcoin related, and get 0.01btc (10mBtc) in your account. No extra rules, and you can ask as many questions as you like! You can post the link of your question and a bitcoin address in this thread if you want to get the bitcoins sent directly to your wallet. Good luck! Note: Remember you have to chose the winner of your question too I was wondering where all of these questions came from. |

BitBet's has paid the best of any I tried so far by orders of magnitude.
"Sorry, but BitBet has ceased trading." http://www.bitbet.org/Apologies, but the url of the important BitBet is http://www.bitbet.usAs in all things, especially bitcoin, the TLD matters much. |

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but this step seems optional right now. |

I approve this message.
I know you've been getting more pressing message and thread spam, but being from KC I need to know. Do you Rock Chalk or not? |

You're in between, which isn't a wrong place to be.

Be very careful with this. There are valid use cases where free transactions can be completely acceptable because they are paid for some other way. For example, chaining transactions so that the recipient pays the fee instead of the sender. This can be worked around by making sure that the algorithm is aware of that and considers the chain as a single unit. However, my point is that these cases need to all be known at the time of writing the algorithm because it would take a hard fork to change it later. Also, I'm assuming that every reference to "transaction fee" really means transaction fee per KB, otherwise that opens up the potential for people to use mega-transactions to split single the fee between multiple parties (transactions larger than 500KB make sense now, don't they ) instead of mega-transactions just receiving a marginally lower fee over using normal transactions. Finally, does this really require a hard fork? It might be used with one, sure, but could this be done at a later point via a soft fork? I'm trying to figure out if I'm missing anything about your proposal... In my transaction experience it is very easy to just start paying proportional fees like this on one's own. It has been a while since my transactions haven't made it into the next block. What I would really like to see out of the OP's proposal is a formal whitepaper. There's a lot of mathematical language in the original post, and I think a more formal proposal would be very useful. I may be hoping for a bit too much because SDL usually only makes abbreviated posts, but more than in any other post he has made I want to see the white paper from this one. |

considering that once your payment was verified transfer of the BTC should have been near-instantaneous, i'd say yeah, sounds like he's jerkin' you around.
This. It's time to Doxx that fool. |

I have a question about solo mining on QT-Client, every time a block is found it ads up in the wallet with a new address.
So do I have to backup the wallet more regulary than with normal transaction ?
Not really, you just need to keep that one address safe. How many GH/s are you pulling though. You probably ought to join a pool. |

Ripples seem to be bootstrapped in that you have to have them to pay a transaction fee for a ripple transaction. That's it. All it's used for. Current transaction fee for a Ripple transaction is 1/10,000 of a ripple.
So, you need 300 ripples to start an account (why so many?) and 1 ripple for all the transactions you will be doing. Until there is sufficient transaction load to cause a higher transaction fee.
Am I missing something? I don't understand paying BTC for them at this point.
This is similar to what I'm understanding. It seems that the XRP are mostly for spam prevention. XRP seem to be valuable to people who want to play with the system now before it matures, and nearly worthless to people who got them for free and don't really care about playing with it at the moment when they can buy in later. I sold a lot of XRP because I fall in the later camp and someone bought my XRP because they fall in the former camp. I don't think XRP can be a bitcoin competitor, but they might be very useful for off-chain transactions in the future. It simply matters where you see your use of RIpple in the future. People are confusing XRP (ripples) with Ripple. All you need are a few XRP to use Ripple (300 to get started and 0.00...01 to make a transaction. ie they are not used as a store of value. It looks like they have been intentionally designed as a bad investment to discourage people using them as a store of value. The value of the Ripple network is not connected to the Market Cap of the value of XRP since you can still make ripple transactions even if they are worthless. Is letting the confusion reign for just a little bit longer that bad of a thing? |

Shittt...
i thought they were only a few weeks old.
I ignored the BTC when i heard of them a year ago, kicked myself 2 months ago and what not..
now i see ;
LTC
NVC
TRC
FRC
XRP
& probly a dozen more ive not noticed yet.
are these ALL worth acquiring or is it still early days?
Early days... however Litecoin is further along than its competitors. LTC actually has a decently large community, with stores, exchanges, etc... Most other ALTs have no or very little ways to use them. At the end of the day, ALT coins are pure speculation. No one really knows whether they will barely survive or thrive in the years to come. But, the same could be said for Bitcoin in its infancy. Having a small amount of LTC and XRP probably wouldn't hurt. NVC and FRC are probably safe to ignore. TRC is a decent alternative to bitcoin testnet if you just want something to mess around with, holding a few might be worth it if access to the bitcoin testnet becomes more restrictive in the future. NMC are definitely worth it if you are tired of The Man telling you what you can and can't use as a TLD, or if you want to give torrents you track an easy to remember name. NMC are barely worth anything, but they have so many uses. Shittt...

But, the same could be said for Bitcoin in its infancy. What Litecoin needs desperately are more and better client apps. The whole Litecoin (and most alt-coin) ecosystems are too mining focused. Where's the SPV Android and Desktop clients. If someone can chop up the reference Bitcoin client to make an alt-coin they ought to at least chop up BitcoinJ to make a light client and preferably build Android wallets and Multibit forks. Any new altcoins probably at least should have these two alternative clients available, preferably they should have better versions of these clients. |

"But how will you know who to send the silver to?" you ask.
Well, if you want to be eligible for the Silver Prize, then you must leave the bitcoin address you used to purchase the Gold Coin with, in a comment below! When the chain is reset I will look to see who the last person in line was, compare the address with those on this thread, and will then send a PM to the Prize Winner!
Actually there's an even better way to verify Bitcoin address ownership. Most clients allow signing messages with Bitcoin address private keys. Some users might opt to authenticate by posting here first, but for the larger prizes or for people who don't know about this thread it is another option. I made a post on the website about this thread as well, but your idea is a good one too. BTW I meant to ask you to PM me your address so I could send YOU a silver dime for the idea. I got mixed up with who suggested it to me xD Sure, I'll send a PM in a bit. |
