Satoshidice has a warning on their page that you should use a test amount first before betting anything big:

"Only use wallets that allow you to receive Bitcoin from the same address you sent from. If you're not sure, test by sending a bet for the minimum amount. If you get nothing back, then your wallet is not compatible. Note that some bets may require one confirmation before the win/loss value is sent back."

You neglected to follow the warning and therefore it is not MtGOX's fault that you did not get your earnings.  They probably use the send account for multiple people and it would be very hard and time intensive to prove that transaction was yours.

Why anyone uses mtgox as their wallet is beyond me, this is why there are ewallets and desktop wallets.

Lesson learned: read the warnings before proceeding with using any system like this.  This wasn't even hidden in a TOS or fine print, it's right there on the front page plain and simple!

Gox also says quite clearly that their system will not work with SatoshiDice.


Yeah, when reading through his emails to support both of these came to mind. I don't even have an account at Mt. Gox and yet I still knew they were not compatible.

I am 100% against the destruction of coins. This creates way too many problems. You should be able to hold some for use whenever you want, without being forced to utilize them. This is part of what creates value.

I think what needs to be done is slow down the creation of new coins. We need some way to determine how many should be made and use that to continue on. Every month or so it should be re-evaluated and altered as necessary. This will help keep the total number of coins in check, without causing problems by taking away what people have already earned. Inflation (or deflation in the form of the currency's value) will handle that all on its own, and is a much more efficient determinant.

I can offer you 10,000 coin bits! They will have to be cut up pieces of pennies, though, and I would prefer it to be in pesos or something so it's cheaper. Shipping is going to be quite expensive, so I'll likely need that in advance.

Let me know!

The mortgage company will ask to see your stubs or previous statements.  You can't just invent 2 years of income.

I don't follow. It is entirely legal to create your new company, as a sole proprietor, and then hire yourself to work for it. He hired himself for two years and paid himself x amount per month. He is paying taxes on this income, therefore it is all legal. If this weren't allowed there would be no small business owners.

Okay. We solved the issue for op then?

That should be 10 k's, but feel free to count it to make sure. PLEASE DON'T SCAM ME!

It is kind of weird that once we made GRouPcoin and DeVCoin the constant complaints about bitcoin NOT constantly creating coins seems to have died out.

Maybe all the people who claimed that it is economically vital to keep creating coins forever were just bullshitting?

It would be useful to have them around to re-interate all their arguments, explaining that coins such as GRouPcoin and DeVCoin that keep creating coins forever are far superior to the intrinsically flawed "limited number ever" model exemplified by bitcoin...

-MarkM-



Well, the issue with limited number of coins is that... it's limited. Take the USD, for example. We have inflation because the government keeps adding more money to the pile. Why? Because the population increases. As we have more people, we need more money to help create a sort of middle ground.

I think coins like DVC are really the same. Our population (in relation to the US in the example) would be people coming on board. Think about it like this:

We have 10 coins and 10 people. Each person has one coin. Ten new people jump on board. At any given time only ten coins can be out there, which means hoarding becomes necessary or you have 0.

On the opposite side:

We have 10 coins and 10 people. Each person has one coin. Ten new people jump on board, so we create 10 new coins. As time goes on, each person can end up with their coin. Being that there is no more fear of not having any coins left, they are traded as a currency.

This is a very watered down simplification but it should help illustrate the point. The only downside to DVC is that it continues printing the same number of coins forever. So in the example above, if we got 2 more people we still have 10 new coins. If we got 0 new people, there are still 10 new coins. And if we got 50,000 more people from a village, there are still just 10 new coins.

There should be a way to adjust, in some way or another, the output based on some criteria.

Is it tax evasion or tax fraud to pay them more taxes?

Honestly I wouldn't think it would be either. People overpay the IRS all the time. Most small business owners will "estimate" their taxes and add on some extra for variance. If they overpaid for the year, the IRS will send a refund check. If they underpaid, they just have to pay the difference.
9332  Economy / Services / Re: [WTB] Mortgage Cosigner on: May 28, 2013, 09:50:30 AM
No they want 2 years tax returns

File now for the last two years?

Check with your lawyer as it might be illegal to pay too many taxes.

I laughed because of the thought of the IRS being angry about you giving them too much money, XD.

I don't know the legality of it as it would be technically gaming the system in an attempt to do what would (technically) be defrauding the loaner by creating a false background. I would think that would cause more problems than it is worth.
9333  Economy / Services / Re: Service Offered: Academic Essay Writing at .05 USD per word on: May 28, 2013, 03:43:33 AM
You heard right. Are you in an undergraduate liberal arts class that requires you to write an essay that you just don't feel like doing? Well, I am here to offer you the opportunity to slack without any consequences. My rate is $0.05 per word, with a minimum of $30 per paper, and I only do payments within escrow (with BTCrow.com). I will be able to most effectively write papers on literature (particularly poetry analysis) and general persuasive essays commonly found in intro English classes, but will cover any subject if given enough time to research it. It is advisable that you include a sample of some of your previous essays so I can effectively mimic your style while still netting you a high grade. (Side note: I guarantee at least a B on your paper or you get a 75% refund. To make this easier for me, it would help if you gave me any essays you had previously written for that class along with what grades they received, so I can more easily judge how your professor grades essays.) I have the most experience with MLA format; Chicago style and APA are, for the most part, foreign to me, but I do have the handbooks for them, so I could manage.

Here are a few samples of my recent essays that scored a 94 and 99, respectively. (And the 99 was because that particular professor refuses to give 100s.)
http://pastebin.com/3EzvEWBu - Essay analyzing the rhetorical effectiveness of Susanna Kaysen's argument in her essay "My Diagnosis."
http://pastebin.com/CkMC3ftL - Shorter essay analyzing a series of creation stories in the context of the theologian Rosemary Radford Ruether's theory on how creation stories act as a 'blueprint for society.'

Respond here, PM me, or email me at essays.for.bitcoins@gmail.com, and we can discuss the finer details.

PS: I'll also do commissioned creative writing, either poetry or prose, if anyone would like that. I'm a published poet as well. Won't say where for anonymity's sake, but I can offer up some of my portfolio privately. All creative writing, however, will be in my name.

lol, I love your little show there. The online requirement for offline games is something I hate the concept of, and I also don't like the idea of being forced to tie keys to your account so that the games can't be sold/traded. I used to live off preowned games, and I think it's going to do more destruction than good for them to require the keys.
9335  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Update the site http://devcoin.org needed on: May 27, 2013, 04:48:10 PM
Hello,

It has been brought to my attention that http://devcoin.org/ is linking people to the old windows bundle and download, not the really good uptodate current ones that twobit has done.

These NEED to be changed as a matter of urgency as devcoin has taken off and everyone needs to be using the one click install clients that twobits has spent much time doing so well.

Many thanks

Which one should be used now? The one I have is from December 4th, 2012. It is 0.3.24-BETA and still has the "Bitcoin" logo, name in the title bar and name in the "Information" popup.

I'm on Windows and just downloaded this a few days ago.
if you're using the wallet or have given address out for anything important, remember to copy wallet.dat before you delete old version
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=129563.msg2163599#msg2163599

Thanks! When I installed the new version it read the other wallet file just fine without having to delete anything.
9336  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Just had 39.70 bitcoins stolen from blockchain account! on: May 27, 2013, 04:03:21 PM
Bob, once a wallet is stolen you can NEVER use that address again, any new money you send to it will just be stolen again. A hacker only needs to get the key to the wallet once and it is compromised forever.

Really you should not re-use any addresses, always make a new one for any new bitcoin you want to receive.

But I thought that it's allright if I input a watch only address (no private key), so I can only see transactions, but cannot send BTC.
Well now I'll probably open a brand new wallet just to be 100% sure...

Thanks,

This is correct. With a watch only wallet no-one can do anything with your Bitcoins because a watch only wallet only contains public keys and lacks the private keys required to make transactions using the addresses in the wallet.

The only thing you lose when someone gains access to your watch only is a lack of privacy: people can determine how many Bitcoins you hold in the wallet and what transactions you made.

Is using a watch-only wallet just like using the blockchain to keep up with transactions, only cleaner (and inclusive of all your addresses at once)? Or is there some other benefit as well?

Thanks. Also siblings just started jobs after graduating, I have roommates that will basically cover the mortgage. Defaulting is not possible.

Even if you were a multi-billionaire, the best thing for anyone to do before jumping in to anything is to consider the worst possible circumstances. Whether or not you have everything under control isn't really something people are going to pay attention to. "Murphy's Law" comes to mind.

So it's really not an attack on you, it's just safeguarding that is really necessary when dealing with things like this and investments,  Grin.

Yes I'd actually be at risk since he owns half but I'm paying it off. Someone mentioned a contract but I'm not sure if it would work since they'd say, Whyd you put him on the title if he shouldn't be.

Mmm... I think what you would do (I'm not 100% on this though?) is add them as a lien holder. I may be misinterpreting what the liens are for, but I'm thinking it means that you still own the property, however you can not sell it off or anything until it is paid off. After this, the lien should end and it would be yours entirely. If it was defaulted on, the lien holder would take the control.
