My intentions are not ulterior. I prefer to be able to browse this forum in public places without male members littering the screen.

To the individual trying to bail out the sinking ship with price support..
Stop it. You're not helping the market find equilibrium with your ideological attempts. Most people think you're just a manipulator trying to buy up cheap coins. I think your whole existence - your pride and ego - are wrapped up in the price of bitcoin.
Look, get some sleep. Let the market do what it's going to do. Everyone feels that your actions are fraudulent, and virtually nobody has considered that your buy wall is borrowed money, that you can't provide for your family and that you are in so deep that you're on your last legs. Stop with the energy drinks, put your children to sleep and stop thinking you can control everything.
You can't.
Do you really think its a sinking ship? I know I am only new too bitcoin but I don't think bitcoin is going too be a sinking ship, if anything it might just slip below the surface of the ocean then shoot out like a missile up into the stratosphere and further. As long as people like him continue to try to prop the price, there will be no accurate price discovery. If bitcoin is worth $0.5, SO BE IT. Ok, so then a lot of miners have to liquidate their sunk costs, or at the very least power down. That's totally fine. The electricity cost per day to secure the bitcoin network is orders of magnitude larger than the commerce value. Bitcoin can survive with 2 Th/s. We don't need 10 Th/s. Let bitcoin find its price equilibrium for a new beginning. Wasn't bitcoinexpress' alleged attack pool up to almost a terahash by his claims? I disagree that it can survive such a dip in network security. I am no expert, but Ars is pushing 895GH/s with 459 users...you can bet your sweet ass that there are 500 people interested in causing trouble should the network become that weak. |

Is that an over complicated way of saying "when Matthew's account is deleted" or does this specifically mean if it's deleted by moderator (like 'suicide by cop')?
Probably he intends this to work like an assassination market. Mods can't delete accounts, though, and no admin would do so and also collect the bounty. I take that as an intent to conspire with a mod to collect the bounty that I have so generously placed. I shall be filing fraud and conspiracy charges on the morrow. Probably some for libel and defamation of character, as well as assault and intimidation. In for a penny, in for a pound. This is going to get ugly. |

I bet 0.00000069 that Atlas is retarded.
The transaction fee was 742 times the size of my bet. Do I win a prize?

for people who have free electricity I think 5770/6770 is the way to go, those cards put out 230 mhz each.
You are very stupid. I believe misguided or ignorant would be the term you are looking for...but choose any of the above; it beats being a dick. |

Given the questions of your trust worthiness in the pass.
I hope this is a joke, a very very poor joke given the topic..
Atlas.. think before you post.. please..
If its not a joke and your even remotely serious.. and actually expect people to send coins..wow.. I've never saw stupid like that..
I would pretty much have the answer of if your a troll or not..
I am trustworthy. Ahahahahahaha. |

http://www.scratchoffworks.com/http://www.promoprintinggroup.com/custom.htmApparently scratch-off printing is done by a ton of places and is not too cost prohibitive. Sounds like a real fancy state-lottery quality (gloss and UV coating) scratcher is around $0.18 each in a 5000 lot, plus design and shipping costs. Not free, but not too terrible. The first company I linked does gift and phone cards too. Maybe something like that loaded with .1 or .5btc could be a good promotional item if the coins end up being cost prohibitive. They have got to be pretty damn cheap, because I was buying phone cards for less than a buck all the time when I lived in Panama. You could also choose between the flimsy plastic card and then the thicker credit-style cards.

Can you make me a piece of art with a shark or whale or something eating a silhouette-guy with a briefcase? I would like it to be bigger than an avatar, I will pay more than .1btc.

I see now that Matthew was banned over what he did. I guess it's a lot worst then what I did. Here's my story:
This still wouldn't be on-topic. That sentence doesn't have any substance. Ahahaha...admins trolling trolls. Bitcoin: what, did you find that shit under a bridge or something?I am not sure how I have not gotten banned or even PMed about misbehavin'...every other forum I have used, I have ridden the perma-ban line like a demon hell ride. |

Transaction hashes could be used if you have some secret data that you combine with the hash. Then the lottery manager can manipulate things, though.
Block hashes can be used for randomness pretty safely after you hash them again to remove the leading zeroes. If you have a lottery that pays out much more than the block reward you might want to combine the hashes of several consecutive blocks (and maybe also their Merkle roots), since miners could try "re-rolling" a few times.
You need to use MegaMillions or Powerball values in the hash. Then you rely on an already never-been-hacked ultra-secure method to generate the winning number. If they hacked the lottery, $300 million is gonna be their goal, not our chump change. e:^^damn, beat to the punch again. 2nd e: beat to the punch twice. goodness. my speed reading is only in my mind, apparently. |

Not that I know for certain, but I tend to lean towards tysat on this one. You don't want to get cracked down on. Federal crime is a big deal.

But, a far greater risk is that of people buying "real" casascius coins, peeling off the hologram, stashing the BTC elsewhere, then buying a bunch of these giveaway coins to use the hologram stickers on the "real" coins. Suddenly, a person can't trust any casascius coins, because they have no idea if the person using them has already spent the BTC and simply replaced the hologram.
If I'm wrong, tell me. Maybe there's something I'm missing.
I think the talk is of some different, 'scratch-off' sticker, so the overlap with the fancy coins won't be an issue. I was the one who brought up holograms again, but your point never even crossed my mind. That would create some confusion for sure. Scammers gonna scam, and giving them the tools to do so isn't a good plan. |

I think tossing the stickers or holograms or whatever in the envelope with the coins is just fine, the point is the security. If I received one of these with no clue what bitcoin was, I would probably keep the unadulterated coin and do my research without pulling the sticker. If I was sold, I would be very likely to pay it forward and give it to someone else to hook them. Seriously, this is a great idea.
As far as value, it would be nice to have something where your average joe could order a hundred without breaking the bank. I might pick up five or six 1btc coins to contribute to spreading the word, but if they were .1btc coins, I would be getting 50 or 60 (assuming the cost is low enough). Consider the adoption rate of fringe technology like this and the numbers game might be the way to go.

I doubt it, to be honest…
Are you bi or tri-sexually curious? Why do you have to define yourself by your sexual orientation? Doesn't seem relevant to me... We're talking bitcoin here.  Are you a fat guy named Marty? Doesn't seem relevant to me. |

Adding the holograms isn't so much the hard part, it's the sticking them on by hand and the security controls that have to go with it.
Way different than if I can just jam a tray of tokens into a laser engraving machine and have a batch of hundreds of them done just like microwaving a TV dinner.
I hear you on the hand placing the holograms. Once when I was 13, I took a job at a local artisan printing press. My duty was to paint a few little spots two different colors on a little accent and the first letter of a Gaelic poem. There were 6000 of them. It was so friggin' tedious. Out of curiosity, what additional security controls go with the holograms? I just kind of figured that a hologram made to show tampering was placed over the private key and that was that. |
