This is a great idea for those who can't get bitcoins from other sources, as you can directly buy bitcoins with a CC. I need a $20 amazon gift card, and will pay the current mtgox (best) *bid* price when you contact me. Currently that is 0.3281, so 20/0.3281 = 60.96 btc. You can e-mail amazon gift cards with a CC here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/gc/order-email?ie=UTF8&ref_=gc_lp_4ways_emailPM me for e-mail address to send to, you must ship first. status: completed

I just e-mailed support on his radio website asking if they will accept bitcoin as payment for premium services.

I haven't been able to play with it yet, but I shipped my 100btc bounty. Good work.
Please mark me as paid.

you should charge 1 btc per bid, whether it wins or not

I pledged 100btc, is there an extension I can download and pay?

If you are taking votes, I'd vote 'no' because I think there will be a default at some point, especially if you are thinking 100:1. My guess would be 3:2 ratio would be a good place to start margin.
Suggestion: Post cash on hand and total bitcoins available versus margin cash and btc. This extra info would help a lot, seeing there are an actual 30,000 coins with 200,000 outstanding.

how exactly would the margin be secured?
If I have $1000 cash in account and lose $1500, how will the other side be compensated? Or if I have 1000 btc and lose 2000 btc, where will the other 1000 btc come from?

This is a serious offer. I'm sure there are some old timers here sitting on a big pile of BTC. It would drive the market way down if they dumped it so they can't really sell it. Just like it would spike the market if I tried to buy up all this BTC. So hopefully you are out there and will send me a PM and we can make a deal. I've worked out how we can make the transaction without risk to either party.
good luck. I don't have the coins. We'll all be watching bitcoinwatch to see if it goes through.

Or, he just bought 1,000 btc at MtGox and wants to scare the market higher. If so, I want to buy 300,000 too

Hope we can get another table going tonight around 8pm ET for monday night football. 25c NL.

These larger transactions make the currency stronger, as any sound currency does. If I went to MtGox and bought up 200,000 coins and drove the price to $1.25 each, would you consider 200,000 coins? (I am not bidding on your house, only example)
In a fiat regime, you just print up what you need, and let everyone else worry about the debasement.
I don't think I could trust a spike in the price as basis for negotiating. If you would do that and a week passed, bcm and mtgox both had solid volume on that price range, sure. Also, according to the values you provide you would be paying 2.5x what I requested originally, which obviously gave me a buffer to work with, but I would have to see how the markets reacted for a few days before accepting, I guess. Well, I would buy the 200,00th coin at $1.25. Assume my average price paid was 60c for 200,000 coins. Bad example by me, but I think I'm stating my point.

Until China can produce fake bitcoins, they wont want the real ones.

Someone let me know if my math is not correct...
10grams ~ 0.32 troy ounces. 18k means 75% gold. Gold is ~1340 per ozt USD.
1340 x .32 x .75 about $321 worth of gold.
I can't say I really want it, so I'll bid 1/3rd of the metal value, about $107 USD. 107/0.19 exchange rate =
563 bitcoins, shipping included to USA. This is my bid, good through NOV 2.

Could someone explain the US dollar in 15 words or less to me?

looks better than craigslist.
I read SOH's description before going, and expected much worse.
|
|
|
sure, just logging in now, dinner went a little late

I just topped off my account and am waiting for action tonight. Hope we can get a full table. My nickname is 'Acco' by the way.
I'll be there about 8pmET for the 8:30 MNF game start.
I'll load up 2/4 limit and a NL table.

I think it is fine. Let the market decided what MtGox USD are worth. If you don't like it, offer 100% of your money for MtGox USD.
