It was just one indicator out of 4 that said there could be a huge upside coming. I don't blindly follow anyone, but definitely utilize sentiment when making my decisions.

I sincerely hope you did not make that up. You have to have at least the majority of hard data to make decisions and never trust a chart unless you made it yourself.  Cool

Nope, I didnt make it up and I dont make the charts myself. I am somewhat glad I dont have the technical expertise to do it either. Just pay people that want to spend the time to do it for me.

That's bad. Subscription services fail during key events, on purpose. You know lemmings and all that.
I know I probably won't convince you of that you'd have to learn it yourself.  If I'm wrong: Be glad.

I know, at least with free advice you get what you pay for!

Can I opt out?

Sure!
You won't be able to vote, but if you don't want to/don't care it's totally ok.

EDIT:
This might give an answer to the questions like "who will build the roads?" and
"who will look after the old and sick?" Smiley
Also it doesn't need to get big or centralized, it can start as your local neighborhood of 10 families and stay that way.

Unless your group is going to be 6 people forcing 4 people to do and not do stuff you might as well just skip voting and go with actual consensus. Don't do stuff to people without their permission. You don't even need 10 people you can start by yourself. Don't hurt people and don't make excuses (uniform, election, tradition, etc) for people who do hurt others (including yourself).

Complaining isn't productive, but the wrongs of people acting as government cannot be overstated and anyone who points them out has my respect.

I would like to see deeper ring tables (200bb - 500bb).  Can these be created?

I think we'll try 100-200bb in the near future.

This is good news, but: How exactly is this target group supposed to get hold of bitcoins? Oh, right. There are no bitcoin exchanges in Kenya, Haiti, Cuba, or Iraq. I am not being sarcastic, but genuinely concerned about this problem.

I have a lot of bitcoins, I don't use exchanges. Many people in those countries have skills that someone somewhere in the world might pay for.

I hate to be a wet blanket on some light-hearted bet statements, but i don't think this bet statement is suitable for BetsOfBitco.in
 - http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=871

Technically, it should be disallowed because the outcome is easily manipulated.   

But even if it wasn't, the statement's scope is much too narrow in focus to be of interest to anyone except the two people in on the joke.



I won't suggest what BoB should do, but in general I think manipulable statements can be great. This one essentially pays girls to come out to play. And, this or a similar statement could be used to indicate that it won't (or will) be a sausage fest.

What's being done to protect the assets of your users if the feds launch a full frontal attack against Seals?

I'm not sure why this should even be an issue.  I don't walk out of a casino and leave my chips with the cashier, why would you leave SWC without withdrawing your BTC?  Just like everything else in the BTC world, the responsibility of protecting the bitcoins is no ones except the user's.  I personally feel that anyone that leaves their BTC in anyone elses control should expect them to be stolen.

You make a good point.

Yes, taking them back when you aren't using them is indeed the only way you will know your coins are safe.

I suppose if we are incarcerated it will not be possible to return them in a timely manner, but they won't get your coins by seizing the server, which is in Iceland and possibly non-trivial to do anyway.

We have db backups and should be able to return funds safely and relatively speedily without the current server, but a more detailed plan should be developed and announced.

These are not yet available on the SatoshiDice.com website, because I wanted the community here to get to play around with them first.

Is it fair to say this app won't appear on Google Play?

We will be trying to get it in Google Play.

Notice this:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zynga.livepoker&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS56eW5nYS5saXZlcG9rZXIiXQ..

So, the store does allow gambling apps, so long as it's not "real money."

Thus the question is... is Bitcoin real money or not? Smiley

Heads you win tails they lose imo!

"In Google Play!" OR "Sorry that's too real!"

858  Economy / Gambling / Re: SealsWithClubs.eu - Block 210000 Party REBUY! on: November 14, 2012, 08:04:04 PM
Instead of a guarantee, you could add 10% or 20% if the pool was below a certain amount.  Maybe have a minimum number to run it and cancel it if it doesn't meet that.  That would limit exposure while still having an overlay.

That would probably have to be done manually, but the Big BTC started that way too.

I don't think that is as attractive to people. Part of the draw of a guarantee is the potential overlay, but a lot of people just want to know when there will definitely be a good tournament running.

Considering how well the *Half Hour* 400 Guarantee is going would you consider a tournament that starts on the hour, every hour, 800 guarantee 95 + 5 buy in?

Also, the On The :15 never plays. Maybe get rid of that one to clear up space for the on the hour guarantee.

Or, as an alternative, or in addition to, maybe consider bumping the *Half Hour* 400 Guarantee up to 500 Guarantee. And slowly keep increasing the guarantee over time so that the tournament grows into something really big.

That could happen.

It is going a lot better than a few weeks ago, but at 12:30 today it only got 2 players. Any guarantee that runs around the clock has potential to get pricey.

Oh. I didn't know it had super slow periods like that. Better to wait until it's more consistent. It's nice to see consistent tourney action. It would just be nice if there were bigger tourney action, either in number of players or buy-in amount.

Yes, I'm thinking about running a tourney series with some higher buy-ins to get some data about what we might be able to support on an ongoing basis, but it is a pretty tricky art since without a guarantee or with a low-ball guarantee enough interest is not generated, but a high buy-in with an ambitious guarantee can be quite a disaster.
