I like it. It would be helpful to quote the vote and comments in the email, too.

I don't think there is a good decentralized consensus-based solution. I think the most effective solution is for the exchange to moderate the moderators. A list of guidelines is good, but someone still needs to enforce it. If the issuer doesn't like a comment, he can appeal to the super-moderator who has the final say.


The determination could be on the relevance and effectiveness and perhaps the truth of the comment rather than the fairness of the comment.

I think that not only is this simply not a problem, but also that it is not really true. Please support your claim.

Regarding your proposed solution, registration is not feasible.

I think the problem that you are discussing is the inefficiency of "proof of work". There are many discussions on alternatives methods. There are even alt-coins based on alternative methods. Look up "proof of stake", for example.

Well, I know for sure that there are at least 3: the WV twins, and ... me.

Short of finding and asking the owner of each and every address, there is no way to determine if bitcoins are lost or not. There are various ways to guess at the amount, but the real answer is that we will never know.

Don't be fooled by the current dividend yield. SELLING value and dividends both will drop, eventually to 0. You must account for this fact before you decide if it is conservatively priced or not. The good news is that this thread contains enough information to make a good evaluation.

SELLING gets a dividend only if the value the assets is more than 410 times the daily MINING dividend.

If a SELLING dividend was paid at the last difficulty change then a SELLING dividend is paid at the next change only if the difficulty goes up by about 6% or more, assuming no profit or loss from assets and 14 days between difficulty changes: 410/(400-14). After some clever math, assuming no profits or losses from assets, a SELLING dividend is paid if the time between difficulty changes is less than 13.2 days.

I don't disagree with what you wrote, but I think it was a little confusing. I would have preceded your answer with "No" instead of "Yes". It seems like he was asking if asset profits are separately added to SELLING dividends.

Profits from investments don't go directly to SELLING dividends. Instead, they just increase the the NAV, and SELLING dividends are computed normally.

The difference is that SELLING dividends are still not paid if the 410 number is not exceeded, even if assets show profits. And SELLING dividends are still the amount exceeding the 400 number, regardless of the amount of the profits from assets.

That is how I understand it.

Ambulance-chasing lawyer scum ... This is how it will turn out: it is certified as a class-action lawsuit, and the users get a discount coupon for a couple dollars and the lawyers get millions of dollars.

You want to be able to identify forum account owners. Do you also want to be able to identify bitcoin address owners? Anonomity is a feature in this sector. If you don't like it, then perhaps this isn't the right hobby.

Someone that offers to pay for bitcoins using Paypal is usually a newbie that doesn't know any better, or a scammer. Legitimate users with trading experience do not offer to pay using Paypal because Paypal payments are reversible, and offering to pay with Paypal makes them look like a scammer.

Please read these before you consider accepting payment through Paypal:

Well, she only recorded you and her because I told her to.

Let's not get greedy. The assets do not have to be invested in order for your DMS investment to make money.

The board you have to build might look something like this:



If you don't have the capability to build something like this, then don't bother with the chips.

You forgot http://btc-e.com and http://crypto-trade.com. Both trade BTC, LTC, USD, EUR, and others. BTC-e is probably the biggest after MtGox. Crypto-Trade is new.

https://forum.litecoin.net/ has been the "official" Litecoin board ever since Litecoin was introduced. If you are involved with Litecoin and you don't read that board, then you are missing out on a lot.

That's not a very strong argument if you accept that official currencies can be regulated. Most official currencies are also just numbers in a computer. Try replacing "bitcoin" with "euro" in your statement.

There is an important distinction to be made. Due to Bitcoin's decentralized nature, it is nearly impossible for a country or group of countries to regulate Bitcoin itself. However, regulation by a country of the people that use bitcoins (within its jurisdiction) is inevitable.

There are various places to get numbers. Here is a popular source: http://bitcoin.sipa.be

If SELLING paid no dividends, then there would be a point at which SELLING would vote to close the fund and receive a distribution of the remaining assets. Either way, you will receive the same amount.

Considering SELLING dividends as an income stream seems odd to me since the total amount is finite (ignoring the fund's investment activity).

There might be a few settings you can tweak to raise that number, but it's not a very powerful GPU so I wouldn't expect much from it.

I don't want to be negative, but you aren't going to make more than a couple dollars a month mining on a laptop. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try it though.  A while ago, I mined on my desktop computer for a few weeks and I made a couple dollars a night. I have mined BTC, LTC, and a few of the scam coins. The money wasn't worth my time and effort, but I enjoyed the experience.
