Once one guy "dumps" his coin stash into the market, People will go "OH NO ITS CRASHING, I HAVE TO SELL MY STASH TOO!"
And Boom, There goes the bitcoin value. But theres a big differance between Hoarding and Saving
They won't panic dump their stash if they are good at hoarding/saving. And what is the big difference? |

Poker, start with freerolls if they don't trust their skills.

Yes a GPU can do tons of things and i partecipate in several BOINC projects where my graphic card is used. But if they start paying me for crunching their work... then why can't they simply use that money in a MUCH MORE efficient way, like paying for a supercomputer or whatelse?
The idea is to get value from people who won't pay. |

I don't see the logic. Could someone not criticize a Pirate Pass-through without owning shares of it?
There is a difference between ever having tried something and currently holding a stake in it though. And someone ridiculing something they clearly don't understand and without using it is pathetic and it ought be pointed out.

What keeps Gavin from doubling the number of bitcoins minted, for example?
-MarkM-
Are you serious? How about the fact that he can't alter code running on my computers? |

I realize this has no practical purpose, but can you make the identicon into something cute?
More broadly, if you could do QR codes that are shaped like bunny rabbits and pandas, then the whole QR scheme might become more interesting to 50% of the population.
Lol. "Mom can you send me lunch money? I'm the panda with crossed eyes holding a rainbow in its LEFT hand." |

http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/336104When the FBI and Department of Justice seized the domains of leading poker sites in April of last year, they also froze (read stole) their assets. Some people believe they have found a way around that, and around any such future government seizures, from poker players or anybody else; this solution is Bitcoin. They mention Seals and its affiliate program. I don't know why they say we are shy about answering questions. I wasn't contacted.

I think it could work as a browser plugin, where when you mouse over an address, you would see the identicon. This would allow the user to verify quickly, but not rely on the security of the site.
So, you see the correct icon for the attacker's address. Nothing gained. Seems like it is only relevant when paying an address you have seen before. An optional warning in a client like "You are trying to pay an address that may look like one you have payed before, BUT YOU HAVE NEVER PAID THIS ADDRESS BEFORE. Proceed?" might accomplish this better. |

Typo under "Earn Money", "Receive your it on your Bitcoin address after every download."
And I'm not an expert but I don't think a colon is appropriate here in the FAQ, maybe a semicolon or a separate sentence.
"Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network."

I hope you dont take your own "equation" too seriously. It certainly has some truth in it, but there are so many factors that you have not yet incorporated and valued that for whitch ur and possibly any such equation will always be imperfect. Take for example the daily amount of bitcoin that are bought on mtgox for drugs or other products and services (VPN tunnels, torrent trackers,..) This number provides some constant upward pressure. Which is then offset by the service providers/drug dealers converting back to fiat. They aren't speculators!  Yes I highly doubt internet drug dealers see the huge potential in bitcoin or want to keep their profits in a currency that is difficult to confiscate.  |

I might be missing something but I don't see how this isn't just obvious. You can buy more mining power yourself or your could hire out.

Is it possible to create SNGs? Something like Double or Nothing?
DONs reward collusion particularly highly and it is extra hard to be sure when collusion is happening in them so we've decided not to offer them. I can make other custom games and stakes on request though. The only reason we don't have a full selection of PLO, PLO8, limit omaha and limit hold'em SNGs is to avoid lobby clutter. If there is something you think might run if it were up you can ask here or email admin@sealswithclubs.eu. I do plan to automate this process sometime this month. |

This is interesting.
It seems it helps in cases where someone expects to be paying an address they have already paid, but the address has somehow been swapped out with the malicious one. If the site that was compromised is also serving the icon could that not also be swapped out for one that doesn't actually match? To guard against that the payer would need to personally check, is that what is intended?
Another solution that came to me (inspired by etotheipi) is to generate a visually distinctive address (etotheipi used an address with only capital letters). I think there are probably a lot of ways to make an address visually striking. Now that alone would not work because making another one that is striking in the same way would cost the same as the original on average, but if people remember the feel of the address plus the first 5 characters or so (which the original address producer can just let be random) then matching it would be about 58^5 times harder for an attacker.
What are some cheap but striking patterns?
An unusualy high number of triplets? (1j4U666mJJJw3QD7gggrHHH2rynFEcAAA)
A lot of numbers?
No letters or numbers with curves?
Only capitals and numbers?

1 minute is a nice crap, the average is going to be several times longer.

It's a lottery with a low max win that isn't even guaranteed with a 10% rake when a reliable service exists that charges 1%. It's like selling inferior hotdogs for $20 apiece right next to the $2 hotdogs.
If you actually want to break into the bitcoin lottery market you are going to need to do something like start out free and/or offer a compelling guarantee.
