Sorry, I ain't buying anything "TheSwede75" is pumping, and also from a company that popped out of nowhere. If I had to bet, I'd bet on btcgarden.

Friedcat should really hire some major pool operator, as a paid consultant, to help him figure out the problem with not including transactions.

I feel as if BTC price haven't made any large move for ages, and just moving in a small range. Nowadays ASICMiner shares and LTC/PPC gave me more excitement.
965  Economy / Securities / Re: ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It on: July 23, 2013, 06:34:55 PM
By my calculations, book value is 0.0513 BTC / share
So... At your valuation, it would return 100% biweekly. I'd say that would be undervalued.

Book value does not mean share value, it's just the value of the company's quantifiable assets.

Regarding the Gamma SatoshiDICE Pass Through (G.SDICE)

Please note that due to my vacation in Spain, the payout and buy back of the S.DICE shares will not happen until the 28th.
I am sorry for this but I do not have my gpg key and such on my laptop they are on a dedicated computer of which I currently do not have access to.
Best Regards
DeaDTerra


So basically he is on holiday so cannot do the buyback just yet.

I believe you have S.DICE-PT confused with GSDPT.  They're different passthroughs as far as I know.  Trading is halted on S.DICE-PT (on the BTC-TC exchange), but GSDPT is still trading.

Not only trading was halted, S.Dice-PT has already paid their shareholders in full, taking 0% cut, and this happened like 3 days ago. I'm not sure why GSDPT has not been halted, and also why it hasn't paid its shareholders, surely there's internet in Spain?

weird, for someone to savvy enough to trade options, they would miss the zero, I think it might be his own account making a fake trade, to get people to buy in.
968  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Someone is sending out 0.001 BTC's to hundreds of random people. Who and why? on: July 18, 2013, 02:13:57 AM
Dude, seriously? You are one paranoid guy, earlier you thought somebody who needed their wallet password bruteforced was trying to start a media scare, and now this?

This happens all the time, anyone can send anyone BTC for any reason, scripts go haywire, people copy & paste the wrong address, people send money "for lulz" and as someone else pointed out, to probe addresses to see if their alive, or to see if they spend that BTC in a joint transaction so that they can see other addresses that the person owns.

People come here all the time with wallets that need bruteforcing or to ask about money they randomly received, they're two very common threads, use the search or just browse the forum and you'll see.

Damn dude whats wrong with you? Take your meds.
Better to be paranoid, than an idiot. So your hypothesis is, that someone sent 0.001 BTC * 1000 = 1 BTC = ~80 USD to random strangers just "for lulz". Seriously? SERIOUSLY?

The hypothesis that it was done to probe and track addresses actually makes a lot of sense, but it is also scary, because if that is true, then it means that someone is willing to spend ~80 USD just to be able to potentially track ~1000 of bitcoin addresses.

Am I paranoid, for pointing out, that even the ddos of mtgox was called "Bitcoin was hacked" in mass-media?
Am I paranoid, for pointing out, how much FUD and anti-bitcoin propaganda is in mass-media?
Am I paranoid, for believing, that since mass-media loves spreading anti-bitcoin propaganda, and has called ddos of one bitcoin exchange as "Bitcoin hacking", that they will also call bruteforcing of a bitcoin wallet as "Bitcoin hacking"?

Someone tipped over $4000 on reddit, in one tip. So yes, really.
969  Economy / Securities / Re: S.DICE - SatoshiDICE 100% Dividend-Paying Asset on MPEx on: July 18, 2013, 12:14:17 AM
A little disappointed. I was invested for the long run. I didn't give a shit about the share price, but now I am obliged to take a loss. The premium doesn't compensate for the drop in BTC share value for me.

I think SDice is probably dead in the long run, too many competitors undercutting it and owner/operator not actively developing this business, this sale is probably for the best, and you got lucky. i think share price may never recover to the sale price if this sale didn't happen.

971  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Unmoved Bitcoin Tool? on: July 07, 2013, 12:48:44 AM
Virtually ALL Casascius coins would show up as 'unavailable'

The first one I bought would show its not moved in2 or so years.

Yes that's exactly what I want to know. If it haven't moved in 2 years, it's likely it will not move very often and can be counted as out of circulation, I want to get an idea how many Bitcoins are circulating on a daily basis.
972  Economy / Securities / Re: Buying %25 of ASICMINER share on: July 06, 2013, 09:02:54 PM

 I have about 1 bitcoin , I dont know the best offer but is there a place where I can pay for %25 or more of a share? I dont have 2-3 bitcoins to buy these shares.

btct.co

i think its like tat.asicminer or something


do your due diligence however

Why? you have reasons to suspect TAT is dishonest? otherwise doing DD will result in wasted time/effort.
973  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Unmoved Bitcoin Tool? on: July 06, 2013, 08:59:35 PM
Is there a tool out there that would allow the following functions:
* show the amount of Bitcoin that hasn't moved for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years etc...
* show the amount of Bitcoin that hasn't moved since being mined.

I think this would be helpful to determine how many Bitcoins are actually available. For example, if there's about 6M Bitcoin that haven't moved for over 4 years, then they are effectively out of circulation. Whether or not they are accessible is irrelevant, as they are unlikely to enter the market at this point. If the owner didn't move them when Bitcoin was $250, they are surely not going to move them now. So we would know the actual amount of bitcoin we are playing with on a daily basis is about 5M

I thought we already did? gox was 90% of exchange volume just 6 months ago, today it's less than 50%

Simply refuse to donate in anything other than crypto-currencies, everywhere. If they don't accept crypto, they don't need
money that urgently anyway.
976  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What does Yemen teach us about gun control? on: July 04, 2013, 10:33:30 PM
It's absolutely true that tighter gun control laws will decrease the amount of gun violence in a country: there would be no guns to commit gun crimes with.

But that's a red herring, as the real issue is violence, not a specific group of violence.  Of course, you'll see low gun crime rates in places where guns are hard to come by.  But crimes can be committed with or without guns; you can be violent with just your hands, you can be violent even with your head.  You can be violent with just the words you say and how you say them.  So the real question would be, do nations with loose gun-control laws experience a lower or higher overall crime rate?

It is my belief gun laws have no effect on crime rate. Guns don't make a normal person go out and commit crimes. On the other hand, not having a gun won't stop a criminal from for example, robbing people with a knife or their bare hands, or just gang up 3v1 etc...

Though the availability of guns, does have an effect on death rate. For example a Chinese incident of a man rampaging thru kindergarten with a knife, resulted in 0 death. In the US, the same incident with a gun, resulted in more than 20 deaths.
977  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What does Yemen teach us about gun control? on: July 04, 2013, 06:20:41 PM
Yemen is apparently one of the freest, if not the freest, country where it comes to gun rights.  I found this video discussing the gun culture there.

I know very little about that part of the world and Yemen in particular.  I'm curious if anyone more familiar can tell me what effect the pervasiveness of weapons has on Yemeni society.  Do people there generally feel safer or freer because of the guns, as some advocates would predict?

USA and Switzerland both have some of the freest gun laws and one of them has one of the highest gun crime rates in the world and the other one of the lowest. societies are just too complex to draw any causal relationship from correlation or lack there of. much better is just to think through the implications logically.

Actually it's not complex.
Switzerland = 99% white, guns or not, it will have low crime rate.
US = 12% black, 20% hispanic, guns or not, it will have higher crime rate (though lower than African/South American countries)
South America/Africa = Majority black/hispanic, some of the highest crime rates in the world.

Guns really have no effect on crime rates, like the popular saying "Guns don't kill people", it's the people that matters.
978  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Anyone noticed PPC is secretly rallying? on: July 03, 2013, 11:48:34 PM
It's up nearly 100% from the lows made a few days ago. Anyone know why?
979  Economy / Securities / Re: ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It on: July 03, 2013, 05:12:28 PM
Is anyone else concerned about the declining BTC price which is now about $84 on MtGox?

It is about 15% lower than the price at last week's dividend payout which was around $100 per BTC.

If the dividend comes in at 0.025 BTC, the corresponding value would be about 0.02.

Thoughts?





I would think that the declining BTC value is built into the increasing price of AM shares by those investing.

That's non-sense, decreasing BTC value has the effect of slightly decreasing AM share value, but mostly it should stay uneffected by it. (decreasing BTC value means fixed cost in USD are higher, requiring more BTC to be converted to USD to pay the bills.)
980  Economy / Securities / Re: ASICMINER Speculation Thread on: July 03, 2013, 02:06:38 PM
Just curious - has anyone done the math for % return in $$ for IPO buyers at BTC5 a share factoring in rise in bitcoin price?

I'm too lazy and at work - it has to be insane



Bitcoin went from $10 to $80 now

Share price went from 0.10 to 5.xx

so I guess it's a 40000% profit, in USD terms.
