8 pools make up 75% of the mining.
...and we all run around bragging about 'decentralized' - lol good one!
862  Economy / Scam Accusations / Scam Alert! Bitcoin-Central on: October 30, 2013, 07:43:40 PM
I am worried that I've been scammed.  The new Bitcoin-Central appears to be scammy.  I gave all of my bank details to them.  Then they locked my account (login).  Then they won't allow me to change password.  Then they don't put a customer service e-mail on their website.  Then when I found a contact via Google - they write back to me in French that they don't speak English.  A professional company doesn't take bank details and smart off like a punk in French to customer inquiries.  Their website is in English - but if you want help you can't get it.

Warning, warning, warning.  I don't think these guys are legit.  I don't recommend this exchange service and I don't know if my information is secure with them.  They've been hacked in the past - and shut down.  Now, I think the 'reopened' company is a scam.

My advice: Stay Away!!!!

So most Mastercoin investors are up over 10x fold their investment already?
But please stand by - this will soon be 100X.  MSC:BTC will be 1:1 soon.  Just a bit more functionality in the MSC system and it will start to catch on.
864  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: MasterCoin Buyer/Seller Thread on: October 28, 2013, 09:12:01 AM
Will sell 50 MSC for 5 BTC.
Please add me to order book, much obliged!
Lots of momentum settling in at .1.  That seems to be a place many would be willing to sell.  You guys are going to scream when this thing goes to 1 just after the automated exchange is running.  The code contest should buy all those orders at .1 now just to take advantage of the low price as most winners are probably going to be taking pay in MSC.

Oh right, lots and lots of money - keep on going you blinded idiots.

The real power behind Mastercoin is the Naysayers who can't figure it out.  This is what drives the price so high.  Nobody in Mastercoin is looking for 'get rich quick' - none of the top holders are selling despite 10X returns.  Clear sign that their true interests are in the long term. 

Did you miss the bus?
866  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: 300 BTC Coding Contest: Distributed Exchange (MasterCoin Developer Thread) on: October 27, 2013, 07:58:47 PM
I'm a software developer and I'd like to try to make a contribution to this project.
Thanks!
I really hope someone will help this guy.  And every guy who wants a technical introduction.  If Mastercoin had a representative who work closely for one day bringing people up to speed - it would encourage more developers to work.  We don't want willing devos to get frustrated by the steep learning curve. 

For example, if Zathras puts together a really cool single zip file which has everything prepared so it can be opened as a working Visual Studio project testbed - it would be worth a very huge amount to all holders of Mastercoin. 

Please, please, please.  Can we get a developer into kit made in .net with all necessary and useful libraries for the beginners to get warmed up and come up to speed?  This will double our programmer participation.  OK - these guys won't take any lead role, but they will surely build very nice little pieces which integrate with the whole package. 

Zathras last instructions were very vague and brief.  I know it is not his job to get everyone up and running.  But a tiny effort from him (say 2 hours) and newish programmers will save tons of time not searching of the pieces to get started with Manstercoin.  Zathras - can you spare two hours time?  Please?

Maybe the foundation will vote for a few coins for a programmer's starter kit like this.

Mastercoin just doesn't look like it's gonna go anywhere I hope I am wrong.
MSC is going to go through the roof like a rocket.  'doesn't look like it's gonna go anywhere'Huh  OK - what about 10X in three months?  That's not anywhere.  OK - time to move on to good investments.

Why would you do that?
Because journalists go into a full scale panic when they are confronted with the notion that the world will only have 21 million currency units.  The way many of these journalism professionals got into journalism class in college is that first they flunked math class.  
869  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Colored coins VS Mastercoins - Which one is better? on: October 27, 2013, 02:32:22 PM
Sorry for my ignorance, but whats colored coins?
The thing that is described at https://bitcoil.co.il/BitcoinX.pdf and http://coloredcoins.org/.
Don't waste any time reading that - colored coins is a dead concept now.  Master is much bigger already, has much higher ceiling, has money in hand, does everything CC does, but better.  

Economically, I don't think this would work in Mastercoin either.

Even if it did work, why would anyone ever want to disturb free markets?  That is always a bad idea to restrain free trade in ANY fashion.  'stability' seems good - it's not.  Besides, no matter how clever the algorithm - the efficiency of traders will take into account the movements and they will profit from all imbalances.  It is a perfect way to take randomness out of market movements and leave open the possibility of trading on a program which counters the movement.  

I have started working on a way to get this thing into oscillations.  Once I can get it to oscillate, I'll magnify my profits.  Bet me.

They are going to drop the stability mechanism like a box of hot rocks.  I am sure of this.

  a moderation of development speed expectations.
This was the death of ColoredCoins.

Exactly 619478.59338440 MSC were created and no more will ever be created.
When asked about it, I think Willet replied: "...well, I don't want to say 'never'"

What if you had the choice: the projects dies for lack of development resources - or - 10% dilution for all participants to reach a spectacular success? 

I'd take choice #2.

Never say never.  Or 'ever'.  Smiley  Grin

He's just signed up and got no posts. He wants to use western union.

Seems like a credible guy.

873  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Help with backtesting strategy on: October 26, 2013, 05:12:04 PM
Hi

Say I want to backtest against

Values:    141 142 141 142 143
Indicator: 0     0     0     0     1

I see that my indicator rised, so let's assume this is a buy signal.
Future values are: 144, 145, 141

So how do you backtest against this?
I assume that in real world there's a delay between buy order and actual buy.
How do you account for this in backtesting?

Do you put a random delay before you buy?
Do you average next N values and see if there is profit?

Thanks
What kind of scheme are you building - that is weird
