2  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / satoshi is either dead or in prison on: May 30, 2014, 12:22:45 PM
or both. as there is no big player in the bitcoin world that didn't turn out to be a criminal, it's more likely that he's still alive. what do you think was satoshi's crime he went to prison for?

4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / a huge apology to all rapecoin fans on: May 07, 2014, 08:33:54 PM
we are sorry. we screwed up. over the past weeks many of our fans asked us via private message how to buy rapecoins. and we always sent them to comkort https://comkort.com/market/trade/rap_btc.

however, as we found out today it was impossible to trade rap due to a tiny bug in the comkort website. this bug was fixed today. thank you again to the comkort team and their qa department. we deeply apologize for this inconvenience. good news: at least we didn't hide over 9000 billion premined rapecoins in our quality coin.

you can now head over to comkort and trade your #1 cryptocurrency - rapecoin.

-> trade btc/rap: https://comkort.com/market/trade/rap_btc
-> trade ltc/rap: https://comkort.com/market/trade/rap_ltc
-> trade doge/rap: https://comkort.com/market/trade/rap_doge

see you all on the moon

5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / gambling the biggest risk for bitcoin businesses on: May 05, 2014, 07:32:55 PM
always wanted to make a superlative-inside thread.

most european countries already regulated or are in the process of regulating the online gambling sector, including france, italy, spain, denmark, estonia, bulgaria, belgium, switzerland. in other countries the situation is getting worse every day, for example in germany where online gambling was always illegal but only recently authorities started to force players to retrospectively pay taxes on their gambling income. other examples are poland, and of course russia which only a few weeks ago added popular gambling sites like pokerstars and titancasino to its "putin no like" blacklist (luckily, it's only applied by one major isp so far) and will certainly start to take more drastic measures in the future because of the huge number of players in these both countries.

then there is still the uigea in the usa which prohibits any gambling business to accept payments for the purpose of gambling + attempts of some states to open their borders again for a heavily regulated gambling market.
 
the situation leaves us with to major players that have a lot of money invested and a lot of money to lose:
- established gambling companies like bwin.party, pokerstars, 888, microgaming, playtech, bet365, william hill, ..., that purchased expensive licenses to be able to operate in regulated markets and spent a lot on their software to support a gambling world with isolated national markets.
- governments, that regulated their market in order to secure their share from the gambling cake in form of taxes.

and there is more: partygaming (now bwin.party) left the very profitable us market in 2006 and on top paid a $100 million fine only for the vague possibility to be a front runner in a regulated us market which is still not there 8 years later. pokerstars paid $225 million to purchase full tilt poker and settle theirs and full tilt poker's case with the u.s. department of justice. but even then they did not manage to get hold of a license for the nevada market and instead are now turning full tilt into a poker+casino business.

on the other side of this story you have a growing bitcoin gambling market. a big portion of bitcoin and altcoin transactions are still related to gambling, even worse in the altcoin community where most altcoins lack of any real world application and are solely made for speculation and gambling, because it's easier to clone a dice script than finding a shop accepting your clonecoin #1024. in the majority of first and second world countries these gambling sites are illegal businesses - ignoring all the websites that don't look like they ever paid taxes or applied for a license to be be able to call themselves a company.

it's a not to unlikely scenario that at some point somebody will take action against bitcoin/altcoin gambling: governments that don't want to lose their gambling taxes and gambling companies asking for government protection of their markets. it would be too easy to ignore this issue and see it just as a problem of these gambling websites. there are several examples in the history of the uigea showing the very likely approach of "bad neighbourhood" as the one that will be taken by authorities. for example, although the uigea was mainly about gambling businesses accepting payments from their customers, 2007 the founders of neteller were arrested under conspiracy charges. hundreds of thousands of accounts were frozen on neteller and moneybookers. it took them until 2011 before they attacked pokerstars, full tilt poker and cereus. much earlier they went for those who managed the transactions, not for the gambling businesses itself.

if you would apply the same "spirit" to the bitcoin/altcoin gambling issue, just replace neteller and moneybookers with blockchain.info or other websites that allow you to keep an online wallet and take no measures to prevent usa customers from transferring coins to gambling websites (or for uk customers to businesses without uk license, etc). if the same rules apply we've seen in action in the past, also every exchange will be a possible target if it does not take any measure against such transactions - similar to the measures paypal took.

some kids now may call this "fud" because for them everything that's not "bitcoin to da moon" is fud. but you could also learn from history (i know, this rarely happens). the bigger this sector grows, the more pressure will be on the established gambling companies and governments to finally do something about it. the issue of the unregulated "wild west" cryptogambling sector is in fact a problem of many legitimate businesses that try to run their operations in accordance with national laws. we've seen it before. they will shut down bit777 but certainly not try to shut down an anonymous dogecoin dice site hosted somewhere in east europe. instead they will seize the domains of every reputable online wallet and exchange that has a meaningful number of usa or uk inputs and too many outputs to this east european gambling website.

it would be a wise thing to do for every honest cryptobusiness to have a look at their processes and their business model and check in which way they could be seen as supporting illegal gambling or gambling transactions, once a state attorney again decides that it's time for some action and has a closer look at their business.

just look at the price: https://comkort.com/market/trade/rap_btc what do you think? is it just a pump&dump? and shouldn't i create some fake accounts for such posts, like all the other coin "dev teams"?
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Rapecoin to da moon - first to cryptsy (or maybe later) on: April 13, 2014, 09:09:21 PM
After the launch of Rapecoin (Download it here), I did some calculations. Looks like it cost you something like $2,000 to get a coin on top of cryptsy's voting list. That's quite some money you might say. Well, not for the crowd.

If you are a hipster that anyways does everything as long as there is some flat design and black&white pictures on it, please consider to support Rapecoin in its task to rapeolutionize today´s pretty much useless cryptocurrency world. Donate today (preferably not in Rapecoins).

10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / bitcoin foundation and child porn on: April 07, 2014, 11:32:47 AM
Just read this article: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/technology/jamiebartlett/100012608/could-a-crypto-currency-like-bitcoin-help-child-pornographers-evade-police/. Quote: "But the Bitcoin Foundation has agreed to work with the Gates Foundation to try improve methods of stopping child exploitation, which is welcome."

Does anybody know, what these methods are the Bitcoin foundation is improving in order to stop the increasing number of transactions done in the context of distributing child pornography? What actions did they take so far? To my (limited) knowledge, any action that would prevent the current widespread usage of Bitcoin for purchases of child pornography would also directly undermine the anonymity of Bitcoin which is often seen as the one big advantage over common online payment systems. Does anybody have more information on this matter?

Let's stop this scam now!!!

17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / RapeCoin - Should it be released or die? on: January 02, 2014, 03:43:33 PM
There has been some controversy around the recent announcement of RapeCoin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=395747.40

As any cryptocurrency only can succeed if it is supported by the community especially in the delicate context of rape, the best option in my opinion is to let the community vote on whether this coin should ever come into existence. The poll will be open for 5 days. A simple majority wins the decision about the future of RapeCoin.

Thank you in advance for your participation.

19  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / how to keep a correct user balance on a gambling website on: December 23, 2013, 05:54:53 PM
hi,
what algorithm should a bitcoin based gambling website follow to keep a correct user balance without running some weird cronjobs that iterate over the whole database? maybe i'm just too stupid to enter the right search terms in google but this question kept me buys for days now. came up with two approaches but feels like i am overcomplicating a simple issue. so how do they do it?

my thoughts:

goal:
- on a website, a user can deposit bitcoins.
- through certain activities on the website the user can win or lose coins.
- the user is always displayed the accurate coins balance which is: total balance = total deposits - total withdrawals + total winnings - total losses.
- the user can withdraw the coins from his total balance.
- the system can transfer coins from the user accounts to another wallet in order to have them in a safe(r) place outside the server.

pre-conditions:
- number of confirmations does not matter for deposits. as soon as a transaction comes in the transferred coins are available as deposit. the user can only withdraw his balance once all deposits are confirmed.
- no third party api is used. only bitcoind and jsonRPCClient.

approach 1 - absolute balance
1. create 4 tables:
   1.1 user_balance: one row per user, holds the current balance
   1.2 transactions_unprocessed: new transactions are added to this table
   1.3 transactions_processed: holds transactions that were processed
   1.4 transactions_history: old processed transactions are moved here
2. run bitcoind with walletnotify which calls a script which adds the reported transaction to the table transaction_unprocessed
3. run a cronjob every 30 seconds:
   3.1 take all transactions from table transactions_unprocessed
   3.2 remove duplicate transaction_ids from the dataset
   3.3 take all transactions from table transactions_processed which are also in the unprocessed dataset
   3.4 remove the allready processed transactions from the dataset
   3.5 loop through all remaining unprocessed transactions and update the user_balance accordingly
   3.6 add the now processed transactions to table transactions_processed
   3.7 remove all initially reported transactions (step 3.1) from table transaction_unprocessed
4. run a cronjob once per day which moves all transactions which are older than x days from table transactions_processed to table transactions_history
5. if user wins or loses or withdraws coins, the table user_balance is updated accordingly
6. total balance = the value in table user_balance

approach 2 - relative balance
1. create a table additional_balance with one row per user. columns: user, balance
2. update additional_balance: losses are deducted, winnings are added to the balance value
3. total balance = coins in the wallet as reported by bitcoind->getbalance + balance value in table additional_balance
4. if coins are moved out of the users account by the system (e.g. to fulfill withdrawal requests or store them offline) -> add the transferred coins value to additional_balance to keep to total balance the same
5. if the user withdraws coins from his balance -> deduct them from the value in the additional_balance table (taking the coins in the actual account to perform a transfer is covered by 4.)
