1  Other / Meta / Do you find Symbol Usage in Titles annoying? on: May 16, 2015, 03:24:04 PM
What do you think about using symbols in titles?

It's quite rampant in the Gambling section.  Do you think these should be allowed?  I really jumbles up the page.

Anyways not sure if anyone is going to care because bitcointalk has quite a lax attitude towards advertisers.

What are your thoughts on symbols in titles?

Hello,

I'm looking for Bitfinex OHLC 5 min data.

Actually all I care about is just the close data or just open data for 5 minutes Bitfinex.

Anyone know how I can get that?

Billionaire venture capitalist Tim Draper said he would be a bidder. "Probably the best deal anyone will get," said Draper on Thursday in an email to Reuters.
SecondMarket, owned and founded by Barry Silbert, won the bidding for 48,000 bitcoins auctioned in December. Silbert told Reuters that SecondMarket would participate in Thursday's auction, but his firm has not created a syndicate for the sale.
Pantera Capital, an investment fund founded by Dan Morehead, a former senior executive at hedge fund Tiger Management, said in its newsletter it is also participating and has formed a syndicate for the auction.

According to Kardashev Capital, whose bid of $221.51 per bitcoin was approximately 17 percent under the market value of the coins as of the close of bidding on Thursday, it did not win any lots.

“While we’re disappointed to learn that we weren’t a winning bidder, I’m glad to hear that the bitcoins sold closer to or even above market price,” said Kardashev Capital partner Greg Gum.

Nice graph of the three winners.

It seems like the 27k was to a syndicate that was split up into 2k, 14k, 5k, 6k.

It seems that the syndicate was Cumberland Mining.
7  Economy / Speculation / 10/21 EMA 1hr/2hr crossovers on: December 07, 2013, 12:06:17 AM
So, anyone notice the 10/21 EMA crossovers on 1 hour and 2 hour time scales?

It seems like lots of people are using bots to trade on these crossovers.  Another trader used to recommend it but now its totally overused.  On crossovers volume just shoots up and with all the people doing market orders the price falls or rises a lot.  And this is not really good for stability.  While EMA strategy is valid and good too many people are using the same strategy.

It's causing $100-200 drops which is really significant.  Also, 100 dollar rises for an hour.

So who's implementing EMA trading strategies?  What do you think the effect of these bots are having on the stability?  Is it bad?
8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / A Bitcoin Difficulty Derivatives Market? on: August 30, 2013, 03:09:03 AM
Wow so I was just looking at bitcoin farseer and I thought that was a great idea.  Too bad it just pays the people who gets the closest bet not exactly a derivative.

But wouldn't it be cool if you had a derivatives market based off of Bitcoin hash difficulty?

Just like farmers using the derivatives to guarantee a price on there wheat.

Miners can use it as an insurance on ROI.  And traders and can also use it for speculation.  And actually the market will be a lot more structured compared to the bitcoin price outlook.

So has someone implemented this already?

Now it also occured to me that hardware manufacturers might have inside information, but with the increase in manufacturers that shouldn't be a problem.  And its similar to a billionaire buying options to exploit the market before placing a gigantic bid order.  It should be fine because I feel the derivatives market of bitcoin hashrate would be a lot smaller that the hashing market.  So, you would make a lot more profit on mining.

But, if Derivatives were used as insurance the premiums would probably quite high.  Well we would never really know how the market would play out until its implemented someday.

What do you think?

Hi, I really hate having all these noobs getting scammed.  It's really bad for the community.

Obviously this service won't be free (practically free).

Both parties will have to pay a fee:
LTC - 0.1 LTC
CHN - 5 CHN

As you can see the fee is flat.

Actually there is also a variable flat fee.  You'll receive a random number of extra satoshi's you have to send.  This is for security.  (As I'm only using one address).

My addresses will be public.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=180915.msg1946936#msg1946936

Hi!

Feathercoin seems to be off to a great start so I'm going to be hosting a lottery.  I hope everyone has lots of fun!  Grin  This thread will be dedicated to the FC Weekly Lottery.  Rounds will be 7 days long.

Rules:
When you send FC, a transaction hash is created.  This is your ticket number.  If you have bought more tickets that the second ticket will be your transaction hash a number at the end (starting with 1).
Ticket 1 = txid;
Ticket 2 = SHA256(txid1);
Ticket 3 = SHA256(txid2);

Bets sent after the drawing time will be sent back with a 5% fee.

The winner will be determined using a mixer hash.  The mixer hash is determined through a combination of 3 events.  It is very difficult to determine what these hashes will be before the drawing.
1. Block Hash of first FC block after 0:00 GMT.
2. Block Hash of first LTC block after 0:00 GMT.
3. Block Hash of first FC block after 0:30 GMT.
mixerhash = SHA256("1"+"2"+"3");
Note: no plus signs or quotations

To determine a winner all FC transaction hash ("ticket hash") will be hashed with the mixerhash added to the end.  All mixed hashes will be compared with each other.  The hash that is the lowest will be the winner.  
mixedHash = SHA256 ("ticket"+"mixerhash");

After this is done a .csv file will be posted and the winner will be announced.  You will then have 24 hours if you think that it is a fake winner or that your ticket had a lower value.  Then 98% of the pool will be donated to this winner.

I will take a 2% rake to run this lottery.

Note: I will always add 100 FC to the Pot to buy 4 tickets. (Usually this would buy 5 tickets)
Note2: The rules are very similar to bitlotto.com
Note3: The house is now only allowed to buy 1 ticket at a cost of 30 FC.

I can't believe they state how the Winklevoss twins invested 11 million dollars into bitcoin.  That is so wrong.

They probably invested less than 1 million dollars.
15  Economy / Speculation / So much for "shaking out the weak hand" on: April 11, 2013, 08:32:51 PM
This is hilarious.  After all this hard work and effort people put into shaking out the weak users of bitcoins.

All those bull who bought at $150 -175 got stuck in a bull trap.

And when mtgox opens, the people with the money will mostly be the bears.  And the bears will get more bitcoins.  So, in the future we'll have more bears holding onto coins.  Grin

I wish to buy a $100 BTC-E USD code.  I will be paying using Interac Email transfer.

I will be giving 105% and you also don't need to any fees except for the BTC-E withdrawal fee.
*It's slightly less than 105% because of the exchange rate.

I am offering 105% because with $100 there is no point in wiring money. ($25 fee vs $1 EMT fee)

My trust has not been fully established but you can see the transactions I have made in my reputation/trust thread.

So, I have some questions about ppcoin.

Why is the block generation 600?
Why is there 18 million coins generated?
So, I know there is 1% PoS inflation.  But, is coin base going to slow down anytime soon?  Any convergence?

Also, it says that PoS difficulty is 8.3.  What does that mean?
