I think that what I-am-not-a-mule said is essentially a restating of what I proposed on the previous page. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1392.msg11527966#msg11527966)

Still looking forward to hear about Teppy's "radically new idea".

imram91445, this is a mmorpg casino and the gamemaster is proposing changes to the game, it's not a "deal" that he wants to do.  I'm guessing that he want to talk on the phone because it's easier than typing out a long discussion for an idea which is just emerging.

In any case, I hope he will type it up (either here or in-game) once he's thought on it a little more.

So, here's the follow up question, why would anyone buy at auction what they could buy at a "normal retail price"?  It seems that the only way that makes sense is if the auction price stays below the "normal retail price". 

Anyway, I guess I can leave off here.  I don't want to spoil the fun and I don't really believe in proprietary software so I guess I'm not your target audience.

Lol, I think I was having a brain fart when I wrote profitable.  Sorry.   I think I meant to write "popular".  Sheesh on me.

Doubtful, if you didn't dump at 1200$, why are you going to dump at 210$ or whatever we're currently at when the price has been holding steady for months now.  Demand for bitcoin hasn't fallen, news on it has been great (I hear lots of press everyday about people giving "blockchain technology" a blowjob).  No where to go but up in my opinion.

Just today, NPR was talking to me about the bitcoin rules in state of ny.  NPR is not slashdot.  This is good stuff.

Just a suggestion: you could simplify the testing by using curl on the command line to make sure the RPC server is up and listening.  Then, if that works, you know the issue is in your PHP module.

I've never used this unity thing, but perhaps your software comes with a command line interface that you can use in a terminal emulator.  See what binaries came with the software and run:

$./BINARYNAME --help

in your terminal to see if you get any help (replace BINARYNAME with the name of some binary in the package you downloaded).

I'm not interested in buying your script, but I do have a few questions (mainly out of curiosity).  If, once you sell the script to someone else, do you still retain the right to sell it again elsewhere?  How do you prevent the people you sell this to from making copies and sharing it (source code or binaries)?  This relates to the auction part, in a normal auction, there's only N of the item for sale (usually N=1 and always N is finite).   This scarcity is what drives the auction mentality, there's only 1 of this item and the seller wants the highest price so the buyers compete.  Where you can copy software, it's not clear why buyers should compete.  They may as well wait for you to sell it to one of them and then share among each other or something like that.

Don't take me as trolling, I'm just quite curious about this.

Send an email to support, or contact dadice via PM.  They straightened out a password issue for me once.

Hacker, you seem to be talking about how to get new players.  But you haven't shown how this is connected to Teppy's proposal to disallow mentors from sharing with their students.  Take a look at Happy Scamp/Scorp's points 1-5 (post #348 in this thread).  IMO, Teppy really needs to address those points before telling folks that they're not allowed to share money with their students.

If you're talking about software, you can use cgminer: https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer

I think it's the most profitable one and it's the one I've used without an issue.

I can't tell from your post whether you've already got an account or not.  It sounds like you do have one, but then you say "try the site out" which makes it sound like you don't.

It's the quickseller public masterbation post of the day!  He just can't keep it in his pants.  And it seems that no matter how many times I keep calling him out for "tooting his own horn" (so to speak) in public rather than allowing someone else to offer a compliment, he just doesn't get it.

Yup, and the fact that you've been ostentatiously wrong on that so many times is the reason that no one could keep you on their trust list for longer than a week or two.  And the masterbation (above) isn't going to convince anyone.  You need to settle down and think before you act if you want to regain your own broken reputation.Like what happened to you?

Three questions:

1) Can you use this apple cross-compiler? https://launchpad.net/~flosoft/+archive/ubuntu/cross-apple
2) Are you sure that you can't run the version compiled for ubuntu on OSX?  They should both be able to run ELF binaries, I would think.  Since their both UNIX like, maybe you just need to dynamically link some libraries and have your OSX users use LD_LIBRARY_PATH or something.  It's just a guess.  In either case, if you do have someone try a linux binary on OSX and it fails, I'd be curious to hear what the error was.
3) What wallet?  Is it a fork of bitcoin-core? a personal project?  Just curious here why you need to build for a system that you don't even have.

Ok, this is fun.  QS is +1ing an account called, literally, "AttackDog" and saying that he wants people to get scammed so that he can be proven right in his hatred?!

QS is funny.

I think that's the right move.
Okay, but at this point there are more haters here plastering their bile on dadice and staff than there are advertizements for dadice (ok, that's an informal estimation, but you get my point, I think).

You talked above about your "gentleman's agreement" between you and RHavar.   I hope you can see that if it's okay for Ryan to trust you and for you to trust Ryan, without, as you say, providing proof of your funds and whatnot that it's also okay for somone out there on the internet to trust dadice enough to deposit some bitcoin and play some games and then withdraw.  They get to make that gentleman's agreement the same way that you and Ryan did.  You've made it more than clear that you don't trust dadice.  And you've attracted a whole cadre of haters who are rocking the echo-chamber like CNN news or something.  I think it's time for you to offer a gentleman's agreement with all of us here that you've had your say and that it's time for everyone to move along---that shout-fests on forum threads don't make the world a better place.

From what I know abot macports, it *is* software intended to be run on a mac.  That's not to say that you couldn't find a way to compile it on GNU/Linux.  BTW, why do you want to run macports anyway.  If you have GNU/Linux, you have the GNU tools that (I think) macports is supposed to provide you access to.

The solution I proposed above merely attempts to get at the root of what Di says is a problem in a much more direct way than what he's proposed so far.

In my opinion, Happy Scamp/Scorp's points 1-5 above are basically in dire need of addressing before making any changes. 

Hi Teppy,

This is tspacepilot from Dragon's Tale Casino. If I understood you correctly in today's chat, the problem you want to address is that students have an incentive to choose the highest mentor possible.  You wish that they would pick mentors closer to their level in order to "improve the culture" and to aid mid-level mentors in finding students.

Right now, the mentor gets the difference between a student's DT rate and her own DT rate so students have an incentive to pick a mentor with a high level so that that difference is high.  My solution is a little like an automatic DT split implementation, but it reverses the incentive a little.  Consider this:

Let d be the percentage difference between the student's DT rate and the mentor's DT rate. 

d=mentor_dt_rate-student_dt_rate

Right now, the mentor gets the entirety of d.  But what if you split d between student and mentor based on the closeness of their level.

Let l=mentor_level-student_level

Distribute d between student and mentor based on l:

   student%of_d | mentor%of_d
l=1:    50%   | 50%
l=2:   40%   | 60%
l=3:   ...   | ...
l=infinity   0 | 100%

This proposal is basically like the DT split scheme that we've been seeing regularly for situations where l=1.  So, if you choose a mentor that's only 1 level higher than you, you get what would currently be known as a 50% DT split automatically.  If you choose a mentor with a level infinitely higher than yours, your mentor gets the entire difference between your DT percentage and her percentage.

This is just an idea, but I thin it addresses your problem directly and avoids making unenforceable rules, it strengthens the incentive to have a mentor and it helps out lower-level and mid-level mentors more than it helps really high-level ones.

I'll help you for free on this thread if you actually post your compiler errors here.  You see the guide above.  If you actually started following the steps there and you got stuck then post what happened (in detail) if you want help.

Cheers.

Indeed, and FWIW, 98problems probably won't find out by checking this forum.  it seems the annoucements are made on twitter and facebook, for those that use those services.
