We don't know if the hacker is genuine, but we (BitInstant) are sincere when we say we'll waive any commission to help Romney get some coins

Here's our forum post announcing this: http://blog.bitinstant.com/blog/2012/9/6/a-friendly-offer-for-mitt-romney.html

UPDATE Nov 5: NEFT bottles now carry the Bitcoin logo

SatoshiDICE recently took the top spot    And 6 of the top 7 addresses in the world are SatoshiDICE.

And I think we can all agree SatoshiDICE will be around much longer than Greece   

There was always reason to not trust Pirate... 7% profit per week?!

There has never been reason not to trust DeaDTerra... he's always been an upstanding gentleman and a scholar

Bonus Announcement - As a thank you to all the current shareholders of SatoshiDICE, I've paid a bonus dividend as of today. This dividend corresponds to August's earnings. 7,861.57 BTC was earned in Aug so 786.157 BTC were just paid to the 10% tranche in MPEX. And yes, since not all of the 10% Tranche has sold yet, much of this payment went back to my pocket... you snooze you lose

Please note: This is purely a bonus, since the contract stated dividends wouldn't start accumulating until this month (Sept.).

Thank you shareholders and enjoy! I'll continue working hard to increase the value of your holdings.

Hehehehe I don't want to destroy democracy, why would you say that??  I just want to be able to opt-out, just like I've done with the Federal Reserve

LOL looks like it's unfolding further...

Last year, the mining distribution was far more centralized. The problem has been fixing itself over time, and we should expect this, for free markets do not easily permit monopolies to occur (contrary to popular opinion).

Economic Darwinism is made manifest through Bitcoin.

What does that mean... that was included somewhere?

That google doc will be updated somewhat casually and was mainly set up to communicate information during the release of these shares. There will be a more formal, once-per-month update and subsequently the dividend amounts will be paid. As per the contract, the first month of dividends started on Sept. 1 and will thus be paid on Oct. 1 for all money earned in Sept.

Thanks Mr. Puppy

The korrect spelling of my name is with a "k"

Forum Troll vs. Rachel - Round 1

Winner: Rachel

Some of us already cashed out completely... of dollars.

Sorry, didn't mean to sweep this question under the rug. Roughly 500 visitors per day come to SatoshiDice.com. 2/3 are returning visitors, 1/3 are new.

If the domain was seized, business would be disrupted of course. But a new domain would be used, and the bet addresses and info posted elsewhere. Advertisement links would be changed to the new location, and it would be announced/discussed on the forum. But really, players don't even need the website to play - you can just copy the bet addresses in a text file and play whenever you want.  Domain seizure has no effect on the server nor on gambling.  Ahhh the beauties of bitcoin.

If I were prevented from handling the payouts/dividends for some reason, it'd be delegated to a trusted friend. No big challenge there.


 

Ehhh yeah I agree with you.  Absolutely, earnings are what truly matter for any investment. When I said "dividends correspond to risk" I should have said "dividend yield corresponds to risk".  If a company is paying X in dividends, and it's a safe investment, the price of the share will be bid up to reduce the dividend yield, not the dividend itself.  Apologies for not being careful with my terminology.
