1  Economy / Currency exchange / [WTB] Bitcoins: UK Faster Payments (Max 2 hour) Bank Xfer | will pay £65 per btc on: June 21, 2013, 02:13:05 PM

2  Other / Beginners & Help / [Free BTC] *Contest Over* Hello Newbies - I'd like to start you off! on: June 14, 2013, 10:27:45 PM
I've recently been given 0.01btc in a display of generosity from primedice.com and would like to repay the favour and pass it on to a genuine newbie.

Let me be perfectly clear on this: I am not a primedice shill. The btc they gave me was entirely unsolicited and I have not had any communication with primedice either before or after this transaction arrived. I have also never gambled at primedice. In fact, to this date I have no idea who the guys behind primedice are.

Nonetheless, they did a nice thing for me and so I would like to repay the favour.

If you meet the following conditions:

1 - Your account still has the newbie tag on it
2 - Your account was created before the date of this post

......then you are eligible to enter.

I am thinking of a number between 1 and 100. The first user to meet the above criteria and post the number I am thinking of with their wallet address will be sent the 0.01 btc with no strings attached. This draw is not provably fair - if you have a problem with that, don't enter!

- In the event of the same winning number being posted twice, the first to post it wins

- You must post a wallet address. If two people post the winning number and only one has a wallet address, the user with the wallet address wins, regardless of whether they were first to post it or not.

I think that's all.... Good luck!
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / 16kb block transaction stuck in limbo - will it ever expire? on: May 22, 2013, 12:16:18 PM
I've been moving money between wallets and I tried to send a fairly large transaction out from the Android wallet. Sadly, when I get to the sending dialogue, the whole wallet seems to lag terribly, which lead me to throw a stupidly low transaction fee in by accident (literally 1 satoshi or something ridiculous like that).

So essentially, I have about 0.98btc being sent around as a 16kb block with a 1 satoshi transaction fee. I've never encountered anything like this before, and I am not sure if there is anything I can do about it. Obviously, rebuilding the blockchain of my android wallet didn't help, as from what I can see, the transaction has been transmitted, it's just not getting picked up to confirm.

Will it eventually "expire" and be returned? I notice from browsing it that the sent date keeps changing. It was originally 14th May, then became 19th May and is now showing as 22nd May. Will this loop carry on indefinitely?

If anyone can offer any insight into this, it would be much appreciated Smiley
4  Economy / Speculation / Opportunity to make around 30cents a bitcoin - if you're quick!! on: November 17, 2011, 03:05:49 PM
Mtgox currently trading at $2.1501. Intersango GBP currently has buy orders at £1.55001 ($2.44).

1 - Deposit bitcoins into Intersango

5  Economy / Goods / Steam gifts priced to clear on: November 03, 2011, 01:26:10 PM
Just got a couple of old gifts floating around that I'd like to clear out. Titles are:

Grand Theft Auto IV Complete Collection

Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY edition

Humble Frozenbyte Bundle

I'm selling them for 2 btc each, or 5 btc for the whole bundle.

I have a bit of feedback here: http://www.bitcoinclassifieds.net/profile/435/

Thanks for reading Smiley
6  Economy / Economics / Bitcoins cheaper at Intersango? on: November 01, 2011, 02:05:09 PM
I've been looking at the parity between the prices on mtgox and intersango, and generally they match up. However, since the 25th October, you can see that bitcoins are up to 50 cents cheaper on intersango!

http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/intrsngGBP#kgmtgoxUSDzrg90zig15-minztgCzm1g10zm2g25

As intersango don't currently charge fees, there could be a nice profit to be made just by purchasing coins on intersango and selling them on mtgox. Does anyone have any clue why there would be such a huge gap between the two exchanges?
7  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Recommend a dual PSU case? on: October 05, 2011, 02:13:35 PM
Can anyone recommend a large-ish case that has room for me to put two PSUs in (either by design, or enough space that I could pop a second one in)?

Best I can come up with so far is the Fractal Design XL, but I don't think I'm going to be able to get two PSUs to fit in the bottom chamber.

This box is going to be for mining at night and family use in the day, so I'd like something a little different to a bespoke wooden case Smiley
8  Economy / Marketplace / Sponsor me in Bitcoins and help sick children on: October 04, 2011, 02:13:25 PM
Help please Smiley

I will be attempting to play games for 24 hours on 15th October to raise money for a Children's Miracle Network hospital: The Royal Hospital for Sick Children.

The Royal Hospital for Sick Children has 266 inpatient beds, 12 daycase beds, and handles approximately 90,000 out-patients, 15,000 in-patients, 7,300 daycases and 35,000 A&E attendances every year. The hospital provides care for newborn babies right up to children around 13 years of age.

There is a link to my donations page below - I have decided to take donations in bitcoins. Anybody who donates in bitcoins will have their details added to the donations page below at the current bitcoin exchange rate. Alternatively, if you're more comfortable donating directly to the organisation, you can still use the standard paypal / credit card donation options. It goes without saying that these donations are tax deductible and anonymous donations are fine.

The wallet address for bitcoin donations is 12MSV4JFGvpnw5H43Q4FgHqZ7rw9r1QCqA - if you decide to donate this way, please also send me a PM and I will confirm within 24 hours that your donation has received. On receipt of bitcoins, I will sell at the current market rate on www.britcoin.co.uk and on request, I am happy to provide full audit trail / screenshots so you can verify this has taken place. If at any point in the process you doubt me or have second thoughts, I am happy to return the bitcoins to you providing I haven't already exchanged them on the britcoin exchange.

As I am incapable usually of functioning after about 16 hours of being awake, this will most likely be an ordeal, and certainly not the kind of thing I'll enjoy after the first 4 hours.

PLEASE help me raise money for this worthy cause, even if it's just $1. My donations link is at http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&eventID=501&participantID=20915

Thanks again Smiley

10  Economy / Goods / Best site to buy and sell? on: September 26, 2011, 02:26:07 PM
I've been looking at the various options we have to sell and buy things in bitcoins, but have found that the sites on https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade all seem to be fairly low traffic - in short, we seem to have a half dozen fragmented shopping sites.

Can anyone recommend a large auction or classified site that I can use to start selling and buying in bitcoins? I've mined and purchased a decent chunk of btc, and now I'd like to start sending them off into the economy.

Just to recap - I know there are sites listed on the bitcoin wiki, what I'd like to know is, anecdotally or otherwise, what people consider the best / defacto shops to trade physical goods on.

Thanks!
11  Economy / Marketplace / What happened to btcsportsbetting.com on: September 23, 2011, 10:04:37 AM
First off, I would like to emphasise that I am not accusing the above site of being a scam. However, I am beginning to be slightly concerned.

1 - I signed up and made a deposit
2 - I made a couple of bets, some won, some lost, everything worked as planned
3 - For the last week or two, I have been unable to log in. www.btcsportsbetting.com works, but then after I enter my username and password... nothing
4 - This is the same on two entirely different internet connections
5 - I therefore have a couple of bitcoins locked away that I am unable to access
6 - They have not replied to a question I asked them on their twitter account ( http://twitter.com/#!/BTCSportsbet )
7 - They have not replied to emails I have sent enquiring at cs@btcsportsbetting.com

Anybody else in the same boat?
12  Other / Beginners & Help / Any web coders about? on: August 16, 2011, 08:52:28 AM
Hi there,

I'm looking to learn how to do a simple task on a website. I want something that will generate a wallet address, and then every time something is sent to that wallet address, reset a timer and append the address that the payment originated from to a file.

Can anybody give me any clues as to where to start with this, or if there are similar scripts available that may help (I think the ponzi scripts may fulfill at least some of this).

Thanks!
13  Other / Beginners & Help / Steam games for BTC on: August 09, 2011, 09:31:00 AM
Since I don't seem to be getting a lot of traffic on bitcoinclassifieds, and the people that do email me seem to be time wasters, I have a couple of listings up on there if anyone wants to take advantage of the current cheap price of bitcoins (unlike others, I do not fluctuate the price of my classifieds against the BTC/UDS exchange rate!)

http://www.bitcoinclassifieds.net/ad/852_Civilization_V__Steam/
http://www.bitcoinclassifieds.net/ad/851_Grand_Theft_Auto_IV_Complete_Collection__Steam/

Check my feedback, and contact me through bitcoinclassifieds if you're interested Smiley
14  Other / Beginners & Help / Is there a standard template for a site selling online using bitcoins? on: August 04, 2011, 11:42:56 AM
I have an idea for a service and product I'd like to offer exclusively via bitcoin. I understand that the long term success on bitcoin hinges on acceptance - the more avenues of liquidity the better.

Has anyone come up with an all in one package for someone in my position yet? Something that's fairly easy to set up? (I am fairly technically minded, but I don't want to invest a lot of time and effort in something that's purely an experiment at the moment)

I'm thinking a package you can just push to your server that contains:

Shopping cart code with bitcoin support
Ability to interface and generate wallet IDs for transactions
Stock help for people completely new to bitcoin: Ie. What is bitcoin? Where can I get them? etc

Basically a one stop package for anyone who wants to catalogue and sell items exclusively in bitcoins.

Does anyone know of anything like this? If not, is it worth starting a bounty to commission a (preferably open sourced) complete package like this?
